AI Technical Summary
Conventional air fresheners lack integration with web content and fail to provide an enhanced sensory experience by combining fragrance with exclusive content like DJ videos, and there is no seamless integration of NFC tags within the air freshener to facilitate this.
An NFC tag is embedded or attached to the air freshener, linking it to exclusive web content, allowing users to access DJ videos and other multimedia content via their smartphones, with features like social media integration and content switching based on conditions, and a unique ID management system for access control.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a technology for air fresheners used in cars that enhances the experience of scent and music through the integration of NFC tags and web content. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventional air fresheners are limited to providing fragrance and are not integrated with web content. Some products have a method of attaching an NFC tag to the product to direct the user to a web page, but there is no configuration in which the tag is embedded or integrated into the air freshener itself and further linked to the experience of watching exclusive content on the web. Furthermore, the idea of being able to enjoy music selected by a DJ in the car is also novel. Issues
[0003] The goal was to create a solution that combines air fresheners with exclusive web-based content to provide users with a new, added-value experience.
[0004] The present invention comprises the following components: The triangular air freshener body resembles the PENTHOUSE GROOVE logo. The main body material is cardboard or plastic, or other material that can hold fragrance - A configuration in which an NFC tag is built into or attached externally to the center or edge of the device A unique ID can be assigned to each NFC tag, and the ID can be managed on the web server side (e.g., DynamoDB), allowing access restrictions to be implemented exclusively for purchasers. When a user scans the NFC on their smartphone, they are redirected to a web page and can play exclusive content (e.g., DJ videos). The limited content may be one or more types, and may be configured to automatically switch depending on various conditions such as temperature, weather, time of day, location information, and user input, or may be user-selectable, or may always play a certain video. ·Web pages may include the following features: · Record playback history · Social media integration function - Content switching linked with weather information - Display links to related YouTube videos - On a web page, the temperature is obtained from an external API etc. based on the user's current location, The system may include a function to identify a country tag by comparing the temperature with the climate of other countries that are similar to the temperature and recommend songs from the corresponding country. The content may be fixed after purchase or may be updated or replaced at any time after purchase.
[0005] By combining scent with a visual experience, new value can be provided that appeals to the five senses, and individuality can be ensured, which is also effective in preventing counterfeit products. In addition, the ease of operation, allowing users to listen to the DJ's music selections simply by holding their smartphone over the car, and the expertise of the music selections, make it possible to provide a highly satisfying music experience that cannot be obtained with traditional subscription services. In addition, the web content of this invention includes audio, still images, text, interactive effects, etc. TIFF0003253443000002.tif12124 [Brief explanation of the drawings]
