[0009] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this specification, the X, Y, and Z axes are assumed to be orthogonal.
[0010] <Explanation of Terms> "Fragrance" can be any fragrance (sometimes called a smell or odor), and it can be a pleasant fragrance or a bad fragrance. · The "fragrance component" is an element that constitutes the fragrance. For example, the "fragrance component" is a fragrance ingredient or a fragrance note. · The "fragrance ingredient" is a volatile compound that humans can sensorially perceive as a fragrance. · The "fragrance note" is a grouping of fragrance ingredients based on the characteristics of the fragrance. For example, the "fragrance note" includes citrus, floral, fruity, chypre, oriental, etc.
[0011] FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the volatilization of a fragrance according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a stacked line graph showing the amount of each fragrance component (referred to as fragrance component A, fragrance component B, fragrance component C, fragrance component D, and fragrance component E) contained in the fragrance at each time (each elapsed time from 0 minutes).
[0012] The fragrance components contained in the fragrance volatilize and decrease over time. Therefore, the fragrance changes over time. As shown in [Top Note], [Middle Note], and [Base Note] in FIG. 1, the amounts of the respective fragrance components contained in the top note (the fragrance at 0 minutes), the middle note (the fragrance at 30 minutes), and the base note (the fragrance at 2 hours) are different. In one embodiment of the present invention, by touching a three-dimensional object representing the fragrance, the volatilization of the fragrance components contained in such a fragrance can be understood.
[0013] FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a three-dimensional object representing a fragrance according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0014] The [2D] in FIG. 2 shows the case where the amount of each fragrance component contained in the fragrance (that is, the intensity of the fragrance emitted by each fragrance component) is represented two-dimensionally. The [2D] in FIG. 2 is a stacked line graph showing the amount of each fragrance component (referred to as fragrance component A, fragrance component B, fragrance component C, fragrance component D, and fragrance component E) contained in the fragrance at each time (each elapsed time from 0 minutes). The X-axis represents the time (elapsed time from 0 minutes), and the Y-axis represents the amount of each fragrance component. That is, the width in the Y-axis direction (the height of the stacked line graph. For example, α in FIG. 2) represents the amount of the fragrance component.
[0015] The [3D] in FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a three-dimensional object that represents in three dimensions the amount of each fragrance component included in the fragrance (that is, the strength of the fragrance emitted by each fragrance component), which is an embodiment of the present invention.
[0016] In the three-dimensional object representing the fragrance, which is an embodiment of the present invention, the X-axis indicates the time (elapsed time from 0 minutes), and on the plane where the Y-axis and the Z-axis intersect, the amount of each fragrance component is indicated by the area of the region representing each fragrance component. The [3D] in FIG. 2 shows the plane where the Y-axis and the Z-axis of the three-dimensional object representing the fragrance intersect. As shown in the [3D] of FIG. 2, on the plane where the Y-axis and the Z-axis intersect, the amount of each fragrance component is indicated by the area of the region representing each fragrance component (specifically, the area of one of the two regions of the same area, the region in the positive direction of the Z-axis and the region in the negative direction of the Z-axis). That is, the region representing the fragrance component is defined so that the area of the region representing the fragrance component becomes the value of the width in the Y-axis direction (the height of the stacked broken line graph) in the [2D] of FIG. 2 (in the example of FIG. 2, α) (in the example of FIG. 2, a square with one side being √α).
[0017] FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a three-dimensional object representing the fragrance according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0018] As described in FIG. 2, when the amount of each fragrance component at each time is indicated by area and the regions representing those fragrance components are stacked and three-dimensionalized, a portion that cannot be touched (or is difficult to touch) occurs as in the [Case where fragrance components overlap] in FIG. 3. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, as in the [Case where fragrance components do not overlap] in FIG. 3, a region (a region that does not represent the amount of the fragrance component) can be provided inside the three-dimensional object so that the regions representing each fragrance component do not overlap (that is, the regions representing the amounts of the fragrance components do not overlap in the Y-axis direction and do not overlap in the Z-axis direction).
[0019] [Generation of three-dimensional object] Hereinafter, an example of a method for generating a three-dimensional object will be described. (1) Determine the area value of the region representing each fragrance component in the cross-section of the three-dimensional object (i.e., the plane where the Y and Z axes intersect) at each time point along the X axis (each elapsed time from 0 minutes). As explained in Figure 2, the regions representing fragrance components are defined such that the area of the region representing the fragrance component equals the amount of the fragrance component. (2) Determine the color of the surface of the three-dimensional object. The surface of the three-dimensional object may have a color corresponding to each fragrance component. (3) Determine the shape of the three-dimensional object. As explained in Figure 3, a region (a region that does not represent the amount of fragrance component) is created inside the three-dimensional object so that the regions representing each fragrance component do not overlap in the Y-axis direction and do not overlap in the Z-axis direction.
[0020] Prior to the measurement of each fragrance component, the fragrance component information storage unit 104 (described later) stores information for each fragrance regarding the amount of one or more fragrance components contained in that fragrance at each time point (for example, if a fragrance contains fragrance components A, B, and C, the information includes the changes over time in the amount of fragrance component A, the changes over time in the amount of fragrance component B, and the changes over time in the amount of fragrance component C).
[0021] For example, the measurement of each fragrance component is performed as follows: (1) Analyze the aromatic components and their quantities in the headspace where people actually smell scents. Also analyze the changes in the amount of aromatic components over time. (2) Analyze the results and digitize the aroma components and their amounts contained in the headspace. Also digitize the changes in the amount of aroma components over time.
[0022] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the volatility of fragrance components according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in [Type 1] to [Type 4] in Figure 4, the amount of each fragrance component at each time point could be mathematically expressed using approximation curves.
[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the surface of a three-dimensional object, the texture of the surface of the three-dimensional object, and the irregularities at the boundaries between fragrance components can be determined according to the volatility of the fragrance components. In one embodiment of the present invention, the slope of the tangent to an approximation curve that shows the amount of fragrance components at each time can be used as the volatility of the fragrance components. The magnitude of the slope of the tangent reflects the intensity of the volatilization of the fragrance components (i.e., the degree of volatilization at that time), and a larger slope of the tangent indicates a stronger and more concentrated fragrance.
[0024] [Slope of the tangent line at each time point] For example, the volatility of the fragrance components (specifically, the volatility at each time point) can be represented by the slope of the tangent line at each time point of an approximation curve showing the amount of fragrance components at each time point.
[0025] [Representative Value] For example, to represent the volatility of fragrance components (specifically, volatility independent of time), representative values (e.g., mean, median, mode) of the slope of the tangent line at each time point in an approximation curve showing the amount of fragrance components at each time point can be used.
[0026] [Shape and texture] The following describes the surface shape and texture of three-dimensional objects in relation to the volatility of fragrance components, referring to Figures 5 and 6.
[0027] First, let's discuss shape and texture. The shape or texture of the surface of a three-dimensional object creates various tactile sensations for the person touching it. The "surface shape of a three-dimensional object" refers to the shape of the parts that represent each fragrance component (that is, the shape of the region representing each fragrance component (the area of this region indicates the amount of fragrance component) on the plane where the Y and Z axes intersect). For example, the "surface shape of a three-dimensional object" consists of a curved surface (for example, the region representing each fragrance component on the plane where the Y and Z axes intersect is a quarter circle, quarter ellipse, etc.). For example, the "surface shape of a three-dimensional object" consists of multiple planes (for example, the region representing each fragrance component on the plane where the Y and Z axes intersect is a polygon). "Surface texture of a three-dimensional object" refers to the surface texture of the parts representing each fragrance component. For example, "surface texture of a three-dimensional object" could be rough, smooth, etc.
[0028] [shape] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating the shape according to the volatility of fragrance components according to one embodiment of the present invention. The surface of a three-dimensional object can have a shape according to the volatility of each fragrance component (for example, by varying the angles of the curved surfaces, varying the angles between planes, or varying the number of planes).
[0029] For example, as shown in Figure 5, suppose that fragrance component A has high volatility, fragrance components B and D have moderate volatility, and fragrance components C and E have low volatility. Then, the portion representing the highly volatile fragrance component A has shape 1, the portions representing the moderately volatile fragrance components B and D have shape 2, and the portions representing the lowly volatile fragrance components C and E have shape 3.
[0030] For example, the shape of the surface of a three-dimensional object may be a shape corresponding to a representative value (e.g., mean, median, mode) of the degree of volatility at each time point (e.g., the slope of the tangent line at each time point to an approximation curve showing the amount of fragrance components at each time point). In other words, in this case, the shape does not differ with respect to elapsed time (X-axis).
[0031] For example, the shape of the surface of a three-dimensional object may be a shape corresponding to the degree of volatilization at each time point (for example, the slope of the tangent line at each time point to an approximation curve showing the amount of fragrance components at each time point). In other words, in this case, the shape differs depending on the elapsed time (X-axis).
[0032] For example, multiple subjects may smell fragrance components, or fragrance components with similar scents (i.e., fragrance components belonging to the same fragrance profile), select the shape they imagine, and the shape may be determined from the contribution rate of those selections. For example, a fragrance developer may determine the shape they imagine from the scent of a fragrance component, or a fragrance component with a similar scent (i.e., a fragrance component belonging to the same fragrance profile).
[0033] In this way, the volatility of fragrance components can be understood by the shape of the surface of a three-dimensional object. Furthermore, differences in the shape along the X-axis can be used to understand the differences in the degree of volatilization over time.
[0034] [Texture] Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the texture according to the volatility of fragrance components according to one embodiment of the present invention. The surface of a three-dimensional object can have a texture corresponding to the volatility of each fragrance component (for example, varying degrees of roughness, varying degrees of smoothness).
[0035] For example, as shown in Figure 6, suppose that fragrance component A has high volatility, fragrance components B and D have moderate volatility, and fragrance components C and E have low volatility. Then, the portion containing the highly volatile fragrance component A will have texture 1, the portions containing the moderately volatile fragrance components B and D will have texture 2, and the portions containing the lowly volatile fragrance components C and E will have texture 3.
[0036] For example, the surface texture of a three-dimensional object may be a texture corresponding to a representative value (e.g., mean, median, mode) of the degree of volatility at each time point (e.g., the slope of the tangent line at each time point to an approximation curve showing the amount of fragrance components at each time point). In other words, in this case, the texture does not differ with respect to elapsed time (X-axis).
[0037] For example, the surface texture of a three-dimensional object may be a texture corresponding to the degree of volatilization at each time point (for example, the slope of the tangent line at each time point to an approximation curve showing the amount of fragrance components at each time point). In other words, in this case, the texture differs depending on the elapsed time (X-axis).
[0038] For example, multiple subjects may smell fragrance components, or fragrance components with similar scents (i.e., fragrance components belonging to the same fragrance profile), select the texture they imagine, and the texture may be determined from the contribution rate of those selections. For example, a fragrance developer may determine the texture they imagine from the scent of a fragrance component, or from fragrance components that have a similar scent (i.e., fragrance components belonging to the same fragrance profile).
[0039] In this way, the volatility of fragrance components can be understood by the surface texture of a three-dimensional object. Furthermore, differences in texture along the X-axis allow us to understand the differences in the degree of volatilization over time.
[0040] [Unevenness at the boundary] The following describes the irregularities at the boundary between a part of a three-dimensional object that exhibits one fragrance component and a part that exhibits another fragrance component.
[0041] Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating the boundary between fragrance components according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 7 [When there is a concave boundary], the surface of a three-dimensional object can have a concave (indented shape) at the boundary between fragrance components. As shown in Figure 7 [When there is a convex boundary], the surface of a three-dimensional object can have a convex (protruding shape) at the boundary between fragrance components.
[0042] For example, the degree of unevenness at the boundary may depend on the volatility of each fragrance component. For instance, the higher the volatility, the greater the degree of unevenness (i.e., more indented or protruding), or the less unevenness (i.e., no indentation or protrusion). Conversely, the lower the volatility, the greater the degree of unevenness (i.e., more indented or protruding), or the less unevenness (i.e., no indentation or protrusion).
[0043] For example, the degree of unevenness at the boundary may correspond to the representative value (e.g., mean, median, mode) of the degree of volatility at each time point (e.g., the slope of the tangent line at each time point to an approximation curve showing the amount of fragrance components at each time point). In other words, in this case, the degree of unevenness at the boundary does not differ with respect to elapsed time (X-axis).
[0044] For example, the degree of unevenness at the boundary may correspond to the degree of volatilization at each time point (for example, the slope of the tangent line at each time point to an approximation curve showing the amount of fragrance components at each time point). In other words, in this case, the degree of unevenness differs depending on the elapsed time (X-axis).
[0045] The degree of unevenness at the boundary may be determined according to the degree of volatility of the fragrance components located in the positive direction of the Y-axis from the boundary, or according to the degree of volatility of the fragrance components located in the negative direction of the Y-axis from the boundary.
[0046] Thus, the presence of irregularities at the boundaries between fragrance components allows us to understand, by touching a three-dimensional object, which part of the object corresponds to which fragrance component. Furthermore, the degree of irregularity at the boundaries allows us to understand the volatility of fragrance components adjacent to the boundary. Moreover, differences in the degree of irregularity at the boundaries along the X-axis allow us to understand the differences in the degree of volatilization over time.
[0047] [Surface color of three-dimensional objects] The following describes the surface color of the three-dimensional object. The surface of the three-dimensional object has a color corresponding to each fragrance component.
[0048] For example, multiple subjects may smell fragrance components, or fragrance components with similar scents (i.e., fragrance components belonging to the same fragrance profile), select a color they imagine from a color chart, and the color may be determined from the contribution rate of those selections. For example, a fragrance developer may determine a color associated with a fragrance component, or a fragrance component with a similar scent (i.e., a fragrance component belonging to the same fragrance profile).
[0049] <Method> Figure 8 is a flowchart of the fragrance three-dimensional substance generation process according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0050] In step 101 (S101), the amount of each fragrance component contained in the fragrance at each time point is obtained.
[0051] In step 102 (S102), based on the amount of each fragrance component at each time obtained in S101, a three-dimensional object is generated in which the first axis indicates the time, and the plane where the second and third axes intersect, and the plane parallel to that plane, indicate the amount of each fragrance component at each time.
[0052] <Example of overall structure> Figure 9 shows an example of the overall configuration according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0053] <<Information Processing Device>> The information processing device 10 is a device that generates 3D data of a three-dimensional object representing a scent (that is, the X, Y, and Z coordinate values of the surface of the three-dimensional object and color information). For example, the information processing device 10 may be a personal computer, tablet terminal, smartphone, etc.
[0054] Specifically, the information processing device 10 acquires the amount of each fragrance component contained in the fragrance at each time point and generates 3D data of a three-dimensional object in which the first axis indicates time, and the plane where the second and third axes intersect, and the plane parallel to that plane, indicate the amount of each fragrance component at each time point.
[0055] <<3D object output device>> The 3D object output device 20 is a device that generates three-dimensional objects. For example, the 3D object output device 20 is a 3D printer.
[0056] Specifically, the 3D object output device 20 receives 3D data of a three-dimensional object representing a scent (i.e., the X, Y, and Z coordinate values and color information of the surface of the three-dimensional object) from the information processing device 10. The 3D object output device 20 uses the 3D data of the three-dimensional object representing the scent to generate a three-dimensional object representing the scent.
[0057] <Function Block> Figure 10 is a functional block diagram of an information processing device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The information processing device 10 may include an acquisition unit 101, a 3D data generation unit 102, a 3D data output unit 103, and a fragrance component information storage unit 104.

[0058] The acquisition unit 101 acquires the amount of each fragrance component contained in the fragrance at each time point.
[0059] [When the user specifies the scent] For example, the acquisition unit 101 acquires information for identifying a fragrance (e.g., perfume name, cosmetic name, etc.) that the user (operator of the information processing device 10) has input to the information processing device 10. Based on the information for identifying the fragrance (e.g., perfume name, cosmetic name, etc.), the acquisition unit 101 acquires the amount of each fragrance component contained in the fragrance (e.g., perfume, cosmetic) at each time point from the fragrance component information storage unit 104.
[0060] [When the amount of each fragrance component at each time point is specified by the user] For example, the acquisition unit 101 acquires the amount of each fragrance component at each time point, which is input to the information processing device 10 by the user (the operator of the information processing device 10).
[0061] The 3D data generation unit 102 generates 3D data of a three-dimensional object representing a fragrance (i.e., the X, Y, and Z coordinate values and color information of the surface of the three-dimensional object). Specifically, based on the amount of each fragrance component at each time acquired by the acquisition unit 101, the 3D data generation unit 102 generates 3D data of a three-dimensional object in which the first axis indicates time, and the plane where the second and third axes intersect, and the plane parallel to that plane, indicate the amount of each fragrance component at each time.
[0062] The 3D data output unit 103 outputs the 3D data of a three-dimensional object representing a scent, generated by the 3D data generation unit 102 (that is, the X, Y, and Z coordinate values of the surface of the three-dimensional object and color information).
[0063] [When outputting to a 3D printing device (such as a 3D printer)] For example, a three-dimensional object output device (such as a 3D printer) 20 generates a three-dimensional object representing a scent using 3D data of a three-dimensional object representing a scent.
[0064] [Other cases] Furthermore, a person may generate a three-dimensional object representing a scent using 3D data of a three-dimensional object representing a scent.
[0065] The fragrance component information storage unit 104 stores information for each fragrance, including the amount of one or more fragrance components contained in that fragrance at each time point (for example, if a fragrance contains fragrance components A, B, and C, the information includes the changes in the amount of fragrance component A over time, the changes in the amount of fragrance component B over time, and the changes in the amount of fragrance component C over time).
[0066] <Effects> Thus, in one embodiment of the present invention, the volatility of each fragrance component contained in a fragrance can be understood by touching a three-dimensional object. Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the change over time in the degree of volatility of each fragrance component contained in a fragrance can be understood by touching a three-dimensional object.

Each of these will be described below.
[0068] The control unit 1001 is a processor (for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), etc.) that executes various programs installed in the auxiliary storage unit 1003.
[0069] The main memory unit 1002 includes non-volatile memory (ROM (Read Only Memory)) and volatile memory (RAM (Random Access Memory)). The ROM stores various programs, data, etc., necessary for the control unit 1001 to execute various programs installed in the auxiliary memory unit 1003. The RAM provides a work area that is expanded when the various programs installed in the auxiliary memory unit 1003 are executed by the control unit 1001.
