Description

[0001] The invention relates to an atomizer system with a plurality of user-refillable pocket atomizers for perfume, wherein each pocket atomizer has a container with a filling device and a dispensing device, in particular an atomizer assembly. The invention also relates to a pocket atomizer.

[0002] To make perfume, which is usually supplied in larger atomizer bottles, available on the go, for example when going out, traveling, or similar situations, smaller, refillable pocket atomizers have been proposed in the prior art. These comprise a container for a small quantity of perfume, an atomizer assembly as a dispensing device, and a filling device, which may, for example, be located in the base of the pocket atomizer. The atomizer assembly may, for example, include a conventional pump mechanism. The idea behind the base-mounted filling device is usually to remove the spray nozzle from a perfume bottle, attach the pocket atomizer, and use the bottle's pump mechanism to pump the perfume into the pocket atomizer's container. An exemplary embodiment of such a pocket atomizer is described in WO 2005 / 101969 A2.

[0003] Many consumers own several fragrances, or perfumes, which they might like to have readily available when out and about. For this purpose, the remaining contents of a previous travel atomizer can be emptied to refill it with a new perfume. Alternatively, multiple travel atomizers can be used, although this makes it difficult to determine which perfume is in which atomizer. Often, people simply use test sprays until the correct atomizer is found. In both cases, time and potentially perfume are wasted.

[0004] The invention is therefore based on the objective of providing a way for users to improve, in particular save time and / or avoid wasting perfume, the management of pocket atomizers and perfumes.

[0005] To solve this problem, an atomizer system is provided according to the invention, comprising - a plurality of end-user refillable pocket atomizers for perfume, each pocket atomizer comprising a container with a filling device and a dispensing device, in particular an atomizer assembly, and an optoelectronically readable code arranged on an outer surface, the data content of which comprises unique identification information for each pocket atomizer, - a software application for a computing device with an optical reading device for optoelectronically readable codes, which has programming means for assigning content information describing a perfume to a read identification information and for storing the assignment in a database.

[0006] It is therefore proposed that each pocket atomizer be equipped with an optoelectronically readable code that assigns it unique identification information. All pocket atomizers are thus distinguishable when the optoelectronically readable code is scanned. Accordingly, each pocket atomizer is assigned a software application, which may be, for example, a mobile device application ("app"), and a database. The software application has access to the database, in which the identification information is linked to content information describing the perfume contained within. In some embodiments, the content information can also describe the absence of perfume, i.e., an empty atomizer container, and / or the absence of any information, i.e., unknown contents.If the code of the pocket atomizer is now read and the data is provided to the software application, the content information associated with the identification information can be provided immediately, since access to the database exists.

[0007] The present invention thus makes it possible to transform conventional perfume pocket atomizers into intelligent fragrance companions with an associated digital memory. The optoelectronically readable code can therefore be understood as the key to a personal, digital perfume cabinet. In this way, an improved overview of the pocket atomizers and their fragrances is provided. If a user wants to know which perfume is in a pocket atomizer, the code simply needs to be scanned using the software application. This significantly simplifies refilling processes. The contents information (and optionally further information, such as a user-assignable identifier for the pocket atomizer) can then be retrieved from the database. A management system can be provided to efficiently manage, refill, and replace fragrances in a timely manner.

[0008] The atomizer system is aimed particularly at end users who want to manage their perfume collection efficiently and without "tasting" or "throwing away" perfume. In particular, it also helps avoid perfume waste. However, the atomizer system can also be used efficiently by other user groups, such as retailers. If a user, for example an end user or a retailer, wants to pass on a pocket atomizer, for example as a gift or to sell remaining quantities, each pocket atomizer can be authenticated and traced thanks to its optoelectronically readable code.

[0009] However, the atomizer system also offers numerous advantages for manufacturers of pocket atomizers and perfumes, as well as for first-time sellers. The design described here adds digital value to the products. The atomizer system is internationally applicable and not limited in this respect. The addition and use of the optoelectronically readable code can be easily integrated into existing production and / or refilling processes. No complex hardware modifications are necessary. A connection between fragrance, technology, and individuality can be created. This fosters customer loyalty, trust, and protection for brands and fragrances. Furthermore, the atomizer system is also suitable for international use.

[0010] It should be noted at this point that if a term referring to one gender is used for a person in the present description, all other genders are to be included.

[0011] Preferably, the optical reading process is integrated directly into the software application itself. This means that the optical reading device is controlled by the software application (locally or remotely) to read the optoelectronically readable code of a pocket atomizer and thus receives the data content directly. In this context, the data content of the optoelectronically readable code can be, to a particular advantage, limited primarily to the identification information. This strengthens the connection to the software application that accesses the database, thereby limiting, for example, unintended use by other software applications with regard to additional associated data.If the optoelectronically readable code is to be read also or even exclusively outside the software application, the data content can advantageously include at least one link, for example a URL, the use of which leads to a website of the Internet providing the software application and / or to a local device comprising the optical reading device, for example a mobile device, which at least partially forms the software application, to program elements of the software application itself, in particular a mobile device app, and / or to a software installation application offering the software application for installation.

[0012] In preferred embodiments, the readout device can include a camera, such as those already provided in many mobile devices, for example, smartphones and tablets. Laptops or desktop computers, as optional components of the computing system, also often already have cameras, at least as available peripherals.

[0013] The optoelectronically readable code can conveniently be a 2D code, i.e., in particular, comprise an optoelectronically readable script consisting of rectangles, dots or other two-dimensional shapes of varying widths and heights with gaps in between.

[0014] It is particularly advantageous to use a QR code as the optoelectronically readable code. This consists primarily of a square matrix of black and white squares or dots, called modules, which represent the encoded data content, at least the identification information, in binary form. A special marker in three of the four corners of the square matrix indicates the orientation. QR codes are defined by standards and enjoy widespread use, meaning that the technology for reading them is already available for many cameras, for example, in mobile devices. This allows for simple implementation with sufficient data volume. A QR code has the further advantage of offering a pleasing, and potentially artistic, appearance due to its design, for example, compared to barcodes.In particular, the QR code can be integrated into the overall design of the pocket atomizers and offers an elegant solution for unique identification.

[0015] Preferably, the optoelectronically readable code can be designed so that it cannot be removed from the pocket atomizer without damage, in order to ensure the greatest possible degree of unambiguous identification. In particular, it can be designed so that the optoelectronically readable code cannot be separated from the pocket atomizers without destroying the pocket atomizer. Thus, the unique identification forms an integrated element of the pocket atomizer and is permanent.

[0016] With particular advantage, especially in this context, the optoelectronically readable code can be formed by structuring the surface of the pocket atomizer. This not only creates a strong bond between the code, especially the QR code, and the pocket atomizer, thus preventing damage during removal and ensuring the marking remains permanently intact, but the optoelectronically readable code is also discreetly and elegantly integrated into the optical design of the pocket atomizer, creating a high-quality impression.

[0017] In an advantageous embodiment, the optoelectronically readable code can be engraved on the pocket atomizers, particularly by laser engraving. For example, a precision laser can be used to create fine, small, yet accurate and readable engravings that contribute to the subtle, elegant, durable, and high-quality appearance. This combination of precise engraving technology, digital linking, and the functionality of the software application thus creates a particularly large number of advantages.

[0018] In a further development of the invention, the program means can also be configured to assign user information describing the respective user to the identification information and / or to use user-specific databases. In this way, it is known for each pocket atomizer to which user it is assigned, thus enabling further management options for collections of pocket atomizers. Transferring pocket atomizers is then also easily possible, for example. In particular, the program means are configured such that upon the first scanning of the optoelectronically readable code of a pocket atomizer or upon the first receipt of identification information, this information is assigned to the user who is logged into the software application and / or to whom it is assigned, for example, via the mobile device used.This allows pocket atomizers to be added to the collection quickly and easily. The software application may also provide an option to delete a pocket atomizer, for example, one that is defective.

[0019] It should be noted at this point that storing data on a central server, accessible to multiple instances of the software application from various devices, is preferable, provided user information is assigned. This ensures secure database storage, allows access from multiple locations, and, with the appropriate consent from end users, makes the database data available for analysis by manufacturers, retailers, and similar parties. User login can also be optional in some configurations, allowing the storage and retrieval of data from individual pocket atomizers when scanned, while disabling other functionalities. When a user is logged in, the software application can also incorporate authentication mechanisms (e.g., in conjunction with user accounts) to enhance security.

[0020] In a specific implementation, the software may include the provision of a user interface, particularly on the user's mobile device, through which content information can be selected and / or the content information associated with a read identification information can be displayed. For example, if a user wants to update the contents after refilling, the optoelectronically readable code of the corresponding pocket atomizer can be read, and new content, in particular a new perfume, can be selected in the user interface. Marking the contents as empty is also possible if corresponding content information is provided.

[0021] Advantageously, the software application can also have access to at least one other database, in particular a perfume database and / or a purchase database describing the user's purchases. In this case, the program is specifically configured to display suggestions and / or selection lists in the user interface for content information drawn from the at least one other database. This effectively assists the user in finding the desired perfume.

[0022] The user interface is also used to query and provide content information to the user. For example, after scanning the optoelectronically readable code, the current content information can be displayed first. A control allows the user to change, or rather update, this information.

[0023] A beneficial further development in this context also envisages displaying an overview of all pocket atomizers whose identification information is assigned to a current user, along with their contents as defined by the content information, on the user interface. In this way, the user can be shown an overview of which perfumes are currently in which pocket atomizer, particularly regardless of the currently read identification information. Within such an overview, it is also conceivable to make individual pocket atomizers selectable in order to change their content information. However, it is preferable to then read the optoelectronically readable code again to ensure that the change is made to the correct pocket atomizer.In a suitable design, changes, especially in the database, can also be logged, i.e., saved, particularly with a timestamp. This allows a user, for example, to see when they last refilled the database, and similar information.

[0024] With such change logging, but also independently of it, the software application can be configured to check for error message conditions, issuing an error message if a condition is met. For example, if an atomizer was recently refilled, a warning can be issued upon refilling, just as with mismatched contents ("Was the atomizer emptied previously?"). This allows errors to be avoided or detected.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the software application can have an interface to at least one social network, whereby, through interaction with the user interface, at least one currently displayed and / or selected piece of information from the database, in particular the overall view, can be shared with the social network. This creates a simple way to communicate one's own collection, report intentions, and the like. The user can thus also report on or share their digital perfume collection with others. In this way, users can also exchange information, for example, regarding recommendations that another user doesn't yet own based on shared content, and so on. In another example, a user announcing a trip could also mention and, if desired, show which fragrances they intend to take with them.In this way, the digital added value of the atomizer system is further increased, providing users with a unique experience.

[0026] In a particularly advantageous training program, the user interface may also provide options for purchasing perfumes and / or related products, especially perfumes, based on at least one of the product descriptions. This allows users, for example, to make immediate purchases directly from within the software application if they realize they are missing or running out of a perfume. Thus, context-sensitive options are available. In a more specific training program, the software application may be integrated with and / or communicate with a shopping application. This creates, in effect, an all-in-one solution for a user's perfume management, enabling not only the clear management of travel atomizers and their contents, but also the expansion of the collection, the retrieval of fragrance information, and similar functions.

[0027] In this context, in particular, when connected to the aforementioned additional database, especially the purchasing database, the option arises that the content information can be easily determined using purchasing information that describes a purchase that has been made.

[0028] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, initial filling information, describing the perfume filled into the pocket atomizer upon delivery, is included in the data of the optoelectronically readable code and / or in the identification information database and is used as the initial content information. As already mentioned, the database is advantageously stored on a central server, accessible, for example, via the internet, so that the respective initial filler also has access and can store the initial filling information there. Storing the initial filling information in the database, as opposed to including it as part of the data content of the optoelectronically readable code, has the advantage that the code does not have to be applied according to the initial content.In general, however, the initial filling information provides a means of significantly simplifying the inclusion of a pre-filled pocket atomizer in the user's collection, as the initial content information is already provided. Furthermore, this approach avoids or reduces input errors, at least with regard to the original contents, and thus the selection of incorrect atomizers or the assumption of incorrect contents.In particular, the input of the initial filling information during the filling process by the initial filler can also be automated by providing an optical reading device on a corresponding filling device, which can at least partially form part of the atomizer system, in order to assign initial filling information describing the currently filled perfume known there to the respective read identification information by a corresponding control unit, for example, to send this assignment to the database on the server system.

[0029] It is also advantageous if the program allows at least one piece of additional information associated with the content information to be determined and displayed in the user interface and / or saved in the database. This allows further useful information to be incorporated into the management system and support the user. For example, the additional information could include the time of filling with perfume, the ingredients of the perfume, and / or the batch number of the perfume. The time of filling can also be entered via the user interface and / or at least partially determined automatically. This way, for example, if the content information is changed, it can be assumed that the filling with the corresponding perfume occurred or will occur shortly before or after.Using a timer, this time can be logged for display, storage in the database, and / or suggested to the user for input. For additional information, it can be advantageous if the software application is also configured to access another database, such as a purchasing database and / or a perfume database. This allows the user to retrieve useful additional information from the other database, for example, via the internet, and display it, or store it in the database, as well as linking it to the content information and thus the identification information. In this way, the user can also obtain information about ingredients.

[0030] In this context, it should also be noted that the software application, particularly the user interface, can include advertising, especially personalized advertising, for example, suggesting fragrances similar to those in the pocket atomizers, thus providing users with valuable information. A link between these functionalities and the described shopping options is particularly feasible. The software application can also perform data analysis, evaluating additional information such as the refill date. This data can then be used to determine, for example, whether a repurchase of a particular perfume is advisable and, if so, to recommend it.

[0031] As already mentioned, it is particularly advantageous within the scope of the present invention if at least the database, and in particular at least part of the software application, is stored on a server on the internet, especially a cloud service. This ensures that the database data is stored securely and can be accessed from many locations and by different instances of the software application. Information can also be statistically evaluated, for example, by retailers and / or manufacturers. Preferably, the database can be provided on a server belonging to the manufacturer or supplier of the atomizer system.

[0032] In addition to the atomizer system, the invention also relates to a pocket atomizer for perfume, in particular for an atomizer system according to the invention, wherein the pocket atomizer has a container with a filling device usable by an end user and a dispensing device, in particular an atomizer assembly, and an optoelectronically readable code arranged on an outer surface, the data content of which comprises unique identification information for the pocket atomizer. All embodiments relating to the atomizer system can be transferred analogously to the pocket atomizer according to the invention, with which the aforementioned advantages can therefore also be obtained.The pocket atomizer is specifically designed for use in the atomizer system according to the invention by applying, preferably as a surface structuring, the optoelectronically readable code, in particular a QR code, whose data content includes the unique identification information (with respect to other pocket atomizers with such a code).

[0033] Regarding both the atomizer system and the pocket atomizer, it should be further noted that a pocket atomizer with an upper dispensing device and a lower filling device is preferably used. The lower filling device can be designed such that, by inserting a feed tube from the atomizing mechanism of a perfume bottle (from which the spray head has been removed), a check valve is opened, allowing the container of the pocket atomizer to be filled by actuating the pump mechanism of the perfume bottle. A sealant that surrounds the feed tube prevents leakage. However, other configurations are also conceivable in principle.

[0034] Similarly, the pocket atomizer can preferably comprise a housing with a main body and a lid, wherein the optoelectronically readable code is preferably applied to a surface of the main body, particularly as a surface texture. While the lid can cover the dispensing device, the container and the filling device can be housed within the main body. The housing protects the other components of the pocket atomizer.

[0035] Further advantages and details of the present invention will become apparent from the exemplary embodiments described below and from the drawings. These show: Fig. 1 a schematic diagram of an atomizing system according to the invention, Fig. 2 an external view of a pocket atomizer of the atomizer system, Fig. 3. A view of the internal components of the pocket atomizer, Fig. 4. A sketch to illustrate the function of the atomizer system. Fig. 5 a first exemplary representation of a user interface, and Fig. 6. A second example of a user interface.

[0036] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of an atomizer system 1 according to the invention. The atomizer system 1 comprises a plurality of pocket atomizers 2, which are arranged with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 will be explained in more detail.

[0037] How Fig. As can be seen from Figure 2, the pocket atomizer 2 has a housing 3 with a lid 4. A QR code 5, an optoelectronically readable code 6, is applied to one wall of the main body of the housing 3 as a surface texture. In this case, the QR code 5 is formed by laser engraving using a precision laser. The data content of the QR code 5 comprises only unique identification information, which is therefore different for all pocket atomizers 2 of the atomizer system 1. In other embodiments, the data content of the QR code 5 can also include link information that leads to a website or a software application 7 (see Figure 2). Fig. 1) of the atomizer system 1 and / or a software installation application (for example, a store) that offers the software application 7.

[0038] Fig. Figure 3 schematically depicts the internal workings of the pocket atomizer 2 in a representation where the housing 3 and lid 4 have been removed. Beneath the lid 4 is the dispensing device 8, in this case an atomizer assembly 9 with a spray head and a pump mechanism, which are not shown in detail. Inside the lower, larger part of the housing 3 is a container 10 for perfume, which is closed at the bottom by a filling device 11. The filling device 11, shown schematically, includes a lower opening 12 through which a feed tube or pump tube of a perfume bottle's pumping mechanism can be inserted. A check valve 13 can be opened by means of this feed tube, after which perfume can be dispensed by pumping from the perfume bottle.

[0039] Returning to Fig. As already mentioned, the atomizing system 1 includes the software application 7, which comprises program elements not shown in detail here. These program elements are configured as follows: an optical reading device, intended to be installed locally or remotely, in particular on a user's mobile device (in Fig. 1 (not shown) to be used to read the QR code of a pocket atomizer 2 and thus obtain the identification information.

[0040] The software application 7 has access to a database 14 in which the identification information of the various pocket atomizers 2 is or can be assigned further information, which will be discussed in more detail below. Furthermore, the software application has access to additional databases 15, namely a purchasing database 16 and a perfume database 17. All these databases 14, 16, and 17 are stored on a server 18, in this case a cloud server, on the internet. Thus, the databases 14, 16, and 17 can be accessed via the software application 7 from various end devices, such as users' mobile devices.The software application 7 itself can be partially or completely hosted on the server setup 18, for example, if it is provided via a website; however, in this case, it is always provided at least partially as a mobile device application (so-called "app"). Parallel provision via a website and as a mobile device application is possible. This allows a user to decide whether to use a user interface provided by the software application 7 on the website or on their mobile device.

[0041] In the present embodiment, particularly by means of the software application 7, for example in a special access point for first-time fillers, when a pocket atomizer 2 is to be provided to an end user already filled, a first-time fill information is assigned to the corresponding identification information. This first-time fill information serves as the initial content information, describing the perfume contained in the pocket atomizer 2, specifically in the container 10. It is conceivable to assign first-time fill information, and thus initial content information, to pocket atomizers 2 that are delivered empty, indicating this. Furthermore, if it is not known whether any contents are intended for the initial delivery, it is also possible to assign first-time fill information, and thus initial content information, indicating unknown contents.This latter option can be used as a "default" initial input information, which can then be overwritten by different initial input information as further information becomes available.

[0042] In general terms, software application 7 is configured to assign identification information in database 14 to content information describing the currently inserted perfume. Accordingly, for a read identification piece of information, the corresponding content information can be retrieved from database 14 and displayed to a user.

[0043] Fig. Section 4 explains how the atomizer system 1 can be used as an example. The mobile device application, either as the application itself or as part of the software application 7, is installed on a mobile device 19, for example, a smartphone. The camera 20 of the mobile device 19, acting as an optical reading device 21, is pointed at the QR code 5. The software application 7 controls the camera 19 to read the QR code 5 and receives the corresponding identification information. The content information is then retrieved from database 14 based on this identification information. If additional information is associated with the content information, this is also retrieved. Alternatively or additionally, additional information can also be determined based on the content information, for example, using the other databases 15.Additional information, which can also be automatically captured, may include, for example, a (at least approximate) date of the last filling, ingredients of the perfume, a batch number of the perfume and / or information about the purchase of the perfume (e.g., last purchase date).

[0044] In a Fig. The user interface 22, shown schematically in Figure 5 and displayed on a display device of the mobile device 19, for example a touchscreen, now displays, for example, an image 23 associated with the pocket atomizer 2 and / or the perfume it contains, and an identifier 24 of the pocket atomizer 2, which may be simplified compared to the identification information. The content information 25, i.e., which perfume is contained, is also displayed. The identifier 24 can be selected or changed by the user and can also be stored in the database 14. Additional information 26 can also be displayed directly or on request using a corresponding control element.

[0045] A control element 27 allows displayed content to be shared to at least one social network. For this purpose, the software application 7 has an interface to this at least one social network (not shown in detail). A control element 28 allows the content information to be changed. In the same view, but also, if necessary, in a new view or an overlaid window, a new perfume entered by the user can be selected. Suggestions can be generated based on the shopping database 16 and the perfume database 17, or entries can be corrected so that the corresponding perfume can then also be found in the perfume database 17. The current date can be assumed as the date of the new entry (additional information), but can optionally be edited by the user.

[0046] The present case includes the following: Fig. Figure 5 of the user interface 22 also shows another control element 29, which can be used to purchase the perfume described in the product information. Furthermore, the software application 7 can be integrated and / or connected with a shopping application and / or a sales application and / or an exchange application, so that trading in perfumes is also possible within a single software solution, in addition to managing the pocket atomizers. Advertisements can also be displayed.

[0047] In database 14, user information is also assigned to the identification information. Fig.Figure 6 schematically shows another representation on the user interface 22. This displays a list 30 of all pocket atomizers assigned to the user 31, along with the perfume contained in each according to the content information 25, to provide an overview in such a comprehensive display 32. This comprehensive display 32 can also be shared to a social network via a control 27. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
