[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0023] Before this technology is described in further detail, it should be noted that this technology is applicable to the specific embodiments described herein. It should be understood that this is not an exhaustive list, and these specific examples may be modified. The terminology used in the disclosure is intended to describe the specific embodiments discussed herein. It should also be understood that this is not intended to be limiting.

[0024] 4.1 Overview In one form, this technology aims to provide users with clean air or other types of air. Depending on the user's needs, certain devices can be used to provide a flow of purified air. It may also be done. For example, the clean air system (CAS) 101 in Figure 1 has a filter 103, and Pressurized breathing gas, such as air, is supplied to the user via an air delivery conduit 1604, such as a tube. It may include a flow generator 1603 for supplying air to the user and can output air to the user. This leads to user interface 104.

[0025] In some cases, this technology can create a more immersive "four-dimensional" (4D) entertainment experience. It may be implemented to provide a sensory experience beyond sight and hearing. The system can provide, for example, through olfactory, tactile, or gustatory stimuli, It can provide vertical control. The system also provides users with humidity and temperature information. It can provide change. The example entertainment system 102 in Figure 1 is, for example For example, the flow connected to filter 103 is similar to what is implemented for CAS101. It may include a generator 1603. However, the user flow interface 10 4 and the airflow generator 1603 are also connected to the sensory monitoring and stimulation unit 105. It is also possible. The sensory monitoring and stimulation unit 105 is for entertainment (e.g., movies, User flow that manipulates the user experience in a way that is linked to the form of games, advertisements, etc. - It may be implemented to adapt to the air supplied to interface 104.

[0026] In some embodiments, the system of this technology provides air to the user before air is released. A filter 103 may be used to filter out particles from the flow. Filter 103 is It has the ability to remove odors, bacteria, and viruses from the surrounding air along with emitting gases. This is also acceptable. The air that has passed through the filter may then be provided to the user. The filter is A cart that can be easily installed on the stem and easily removed from the system. It may also be in the form of a ridge. Different filters may use different filtration methods depending on the user's needs. They may provide: For example, if some filters result in odor removal, Other cartridges may provide bacterial removal. In some embodiments, A multiple filter 103 may be used. For example, a prefilter may be used with a flow generator 1603. The primary filter may be installed at the intake port and at the outlet of the flow generator 1603.

[0027] In some embodiments, the user flow interface 104 controls the air curtain. The air curtain is intended to deliver air to the user through generation. It may be divided into two separate environments, an internal environment and an external environment. The internal environment is a clean air environment. Alternatively, air with controlled sensory characteristics such as particles, scent, humidity, and temperature enters the user's airway. It may also be possible to deliver via CAS101 user flow. - Interface 104 is for items of clothing (e.g., scarves or turtleneck sweaters) It can be hidden in the eye. Instead, it's a fashion accessory, not a medical device. It may be camouflaged in a way that makes it visually apparent, like this. User flow interface Face 104 can be implemented to avoid or eliminate contact with the face or head. Therefore, there will typically be no seal formed on the user's face. The flow interface 104 minimizes interference with the user's line of sight. This would be possible (i.e., it would be possible to remove it from the user's perspective), and also from the perspective of a third party. It probably won't be something that easily lands on.

[0028] The sensor is designed to detect the surrounding environment, such as ambient wind conditions and pollution levels, and is user-friendly. Located on or near the low interface 104 or flow generator 1603 It is also acceptable for the sensor to be capable of measuring health indicators such as heart rate and body temperature. The information read by the sensor is logged in real time and can be replayed later. These sensors may be housed in the same or a different housing as the flow generator 1603. Similar to the user flow interface 104 of CAS101, the sensor is located in clothing (e.g., For example, it may be hidden inside an item such as a scarf or turtleneck sweater. Alternatively, The sensors are camouflaged to look like fashion accessories rather than medical devices. It may be large. The sensor must not make unnecessary contact with the face or head. Accordingly Therefore, the sensor must not restrict the user's line of sight.

[0029] The information may be received from sensors or online resources. via smartphone, online profile, or other internet connection device It may be used to provide feedback to users, etc. In one embodiment, The system uses weather forecasts or local air quality data to assess the required filtration strength for the day. You may also examine the sensor. Furthermore, the information received by the sensor can be used to determine certain parameters. Used to automatically adjust or provide warnings to the system for users who adjust the data. For example, an anemometer and an accelerometer may be used to adjust the direction angle or air velocity of the air curtain. By modifying the section, the user flow interface 104 and / or flow generator 1 These may be used to allow 603 to correct their behavior in real time. The recorded information is also used to notify the user when it is time to replace the filter. It may also be possible. For example, there may be a filter for odor removal in the system, but a filter for pollen removal may be included. A filter for removing pollen may be recommended due to high pollen reading. Therefore, the system is filtration The user can be notified to replace the device.

[0030] In some embodiments of this technology, the sensory monitoring and stimulation unit 105 may be used. Good. The sensory monitoring and stimulation unit 105 is connected to the user flow interface 104. A fragrance cartridge or other means is used to exert a physical effect through the air. It may include other sensory cartridges. These fragrance and sensory cartridges can be easily It may be replaceable. Also, the cartridge may have different scents, textures, and temperatures. It may contain a wide variety of stimulants, including projectable substances. These projectile materials can have any viscosity, air / water ratio, water content, or particle size. It's also acceptable.

[0031] The flow generator 1603 may be constructed as an affordable, portable unit. Accordingly, the flow generator 1603 may be small, lightweight, and battery-powered. The device 1603 may be worn or attached to the user's body. It may also be attached to the user's belt or It may be attached to a strap worn on the user's arm. In some embodiments of this technology This includes a filter 103, a sensor, a sensory monitoring and stimulation unit 105, and a flow generator 16 03 can be housed in the same or different housing. Air delivery conduit 1604 Furthermore, the flow generator is connected to the user flow interface 104. It may be housed inside or outside the housing.

[0032] In some embodiments, the flow generator 1603 collects data on usage, weather, and ambient conditions. It may have wireless connectivity for uploading / downloading. Also, a flow generator. Data from 1603 may be recorded before quantifying self-functionality. The amount of purified air drawn in may be recorded, as well as the amount of filter cartridge used. The predicted remaining lifespan of the aroma cartridge / sensory particle cartridge may be recorded.

[0033] In some embodiments of this technology, the 4D entertainment system is provided by Sony (Registered Trademark). PlayStation (registered trademark), Microsoft (registered trademark) Xbox x (registered trademark), or Blu-ray (registered trademark) player or SmartT It can be connected to any game console, such as other media playback devices like the V. This may also be the case. Connection to these devices may be via wireless or wireless connection. The 4D entertainment system uploads data to these devices and / Alternatively, you can download it.

[0034] 4.2 Flow Generator 4.2.1 Introduction Both the Clean Air System (CAS) and the 4D Entertainment System utilize air. An air curtain may be generated to provide to the user. An air curtain system is typically This is provided from positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy delivered through a typical mask interface. It requires an airflow rate significantly higher than the ambient air pressure. The enclosure is maintained by an air curtain to prevent air from entering from the outside of the enclosure. It may be maintained within the jar. Typically, such positive pressure can be maintained at a low level. Therefore, it may be lower than what is achieved in the user's face by PAP therapy. For PAP therapy, the pressure is sufficient to open and maintain the user's airway. It must be so.

[0035] The airflow provided by the system that generates the air curtain is at high flow rates. It can supply air. In addition, it can supply the required pressure throughout the blower (i.e., the blower's The pressure gain from the intake to the blower outlet can be large. For example, if the blower is system It may still be necessary to overcome pressure loss within the system. For example, air pressure is affected by the airflow. Luta 103, air delivery conduit 1604, user flow interface 104 and the It travels through one or more of the connectors between them, so the blower's air outlet and the user's face It can drop considerably between these two points. The pressure difference between the blower outlet and the user's face is due to the air pressure path ( For example, the geometry of the cross-sectional shape and area, the length of the path, the type of filter used, and Based on several other parameters, including but not limited to the filter dimensions used. And it could change even further.

[0036] For this reason, a flow that generates high flow while creating positive air pressure on the user's face A generator 1603 is preferable. Therefore, certain motors and blowers are more powerful than others. It is more suitable for the school.

[0037] 4.2.2 Motor Blower The blower may be configured to have multiple stages in series, that is, one blower stage It is configured to receive the airflow coming from another blower stage. While such a configuration may increase the pressure of the airflow, the same flow rate may be maintained. Examples of such blowers include PCT patent applications WO2013020167 and WO Examples include those disclosed in 199806449, but also designs with two, three, four or more tiers. A blower composed of the following components is disclosed.

[0038] A blower configured in a multi-stage series configuration is intended to provide up to 30 views at the patient interface. By providing cmH2O (water column), etc., sufficient pressure is applied to open the user's airway. It may be even more suitable for PAP applications that provide... It is equipped with a motor that can be lowered, and the maximum rotational speed of the motor is predetermined as part of the motor's design. It is often fixed. Therefore, in order to achieve the desired air pressure, an additional blower stage is added. They can also be introduced in series to increase air pressure at the same rotational speed. Figure 45 is 46.8 This is a typical fan curve for a blower rotating at kRPM, where a predetermined rotational speed (for example, mo Equipped with one or more stages connected in series to increase the pressure of the airflow coming out of the blower (for use with the t) As can be seen in Figure 45, the additional stage is introduced in series, so even if the blower Air pressure can be increased without increasing rotation speed.

[0039] For applications where a higher flow rate is desired, a series blower configuration may not be suitable. For example, If the flow rate exceeds the typical or maximum predicted flow rate of the PAP device, as described below, In the case of very low pressure characteristics, an air curtain configuration may be implemented. Also, mask and ventilation Air filtration systems with holes (e.g., continuous vents or variably configured vents) are more efficient. Sometimes a high flow rate is requested. A user who is awake may have a lower PAP rate than a user who is asleep. This is because the amount of air taken in one breath is greater in comparison. If you are engaging in physical activities such as cycling, motorcycling, or golf, the amount of air a user takes in one breath is... It can become even more. Also, workers may need a larger volume of breath in one breath, and Contractors may be working in potentially contaminated environments such as construction sites. Within the 10 configuration, the pressure provided is greater than that provided to patients receiving PAP therapy. It's far less effective than a PAP device, which requires opening a person's airway via air pressure. Rather, pressure away from the air-current configuration prevents air from entering. Therefore, it is only necessary to provide filtered air under positive pressure relative to the surroundings.

[0040] Figure 46 shows how to increase the airflow rate from a blower for a predetermined rotational speed (e.g., a motor). Various fan implementations, such as multi-stage blowers implemented in parallel to increase power output. It is a curve.

[0041] Figure 46 shows a series connection at a predetermined flow rate (for example, 50 liters / minute as shown in the graph). The introduction of an additional stage in the connected blower significantly increases the pressure at the blower outlet, however In contrast, if additional blower stages are connected in parallel, the pressure at the blower outlet This indicates that it remains almost unchanged. Additional stage of blowers connected in parallel The introduction of this method is for a given pressure (e.g., 15 cmH2O as shown in the graph) The flow rate at the outlet is increased. In contrast, the additional stage of the blowers connected in series is It does not significantly affect the flow rate at the lower outlet. Therefore, the parallel connected blocks W is good for air curtain configurations because it provides a larger flow without increasing pressure. It could be beneficial.

[0042] One embodiment of a blower suitable for air filtration applications has multiple parallel stages and is shown in Figure 2. It can be a blower driven by a single shaft. Such a blower has a first end. The first suction port 201, the second suction port 202 at the second end, and the shaft 205 It may be provided. The shaft 205 is fixed to the first impeller 203 and the second impeller 204. They may be joined together. The first impeller 203 and the second impeller 204 are connected to the shaft 205. The blower may also be driven by the first suction port 201 and the To deliver the airflow received by the two intake ports 202, the first and It may have two outlets (not shown). In applications of high flow rate and low pressure, the scroll outlet is It may be used. Scroll outlets can improve efficiency, thereby battery For use based on this, it enables a reduction in power consumption. Also, the scroll outlet This could enable miniaturization to be achieved in packaging.

[0043] Figure 3A shows an isometric schematic diagram of a blower 300 having two parallel stages. It may have 01 and 302 and a motor 307. Air is drawn in through two intake ports 303 and 30 It may be sucked in from 4 and pushed out through the two outlets 305 and 306. In some implementations, the airflow from the outlet is combined to form a single flow. Alternatively, they could remain separate, for example, to guide users to different parts of their body. In some forms, air curtain devices have an outlet and breathing that provides an air curtain. It may be equipped with multiple outlets, such as outlets that provide a flow of fresh air to the user. In such a configuration, the airflow from the first outlet provides the air curtain flow. This is possible, and the airflow from the second outlet provides the user with a flow of fresh air. It is possible.

[0044] In another embodiment, the blower mixes the mixture downstream from the individual outlets, as shown in Figure 3B. A chamber may be provided. The mixing chamber 310 may house a blower 300, and also a It receives multiple flows from lower stages 301 and 302 and combines multiple flows. It forms a single airflow. The air supplied to blower stages 301 and 302 is It may be received through the suction port 311 in the mixing chamber. The one airflow is blown The output may pass through outlet 312. In some forms, the mixing chamber is a muffler. It is configured to reduce the amount of noise generated, for example, by being configured to function in a certain way. The mixing chamber may contain one or more acoustic foams, Helmholtz The chamber may include a chamber, baffle, and other components. The mixing chamber is used to control tone noise and Alternatively, it may be configured to reduce noise output using a blower.

[0045] Another suitable embodiment of a motor suitable for providing an air curtain is shown in Figure 4. It may also be a single-stage blower. The single-stage blower has a motor 405, and a relatively large distance between height and radius. Single impeller vane 402 with small aspect ratio, shaft 403, suction It may be provided with a mouth 401 and an outlet 404. In some embodiments, the impeller is predetermined In order to deliver a large volume flow rate of air flowing through the blower at rotational speed, It may have a height greater than a portion of the radius of La.

[0046] As mentioned above, a motor with multiple blower stages may be used. Figure 5 Figures A and 5B show a motor with multiple blower stages. Figure 5A shows a two-stage blower Figure 5B shows a three-stage motor. Such a blower has an inlet 501 and an outlet 504. It may also be a centrifugal blower equipped with a shaft 502 and a motor 503. Examples are described in detail in PCT Patent Application No. WO2013020167. Such a blower includes blower stages arranged in series, and therefore similarly... Compared to an arrangement with a series blower stage, the pressure required at the outlet is It's relatively expensive and seems suitable for its intended use.

[0047] As shown in Figure 6, an axial flow blower appears to be suitable for this application. The axial flow blower is far Compared to cardiac fans, they can typically generate a high volume of fluid at relatively low pressures. As shown in Figure 6, the axial flow blower has a rotor 60 coupled to the motor shaft 602. The system comprises 3 and a blower housing 601 that surrounds the rotor and has stator vanes. The blower may have multiple stages 604, each of which is one or more distinct components. It may be located on top, or multiple stators or rotor stages may be a single component. It may be located on top. It is separated axially, as shown below.

[0048] Figure 7A shows an embodiment of a rotor compatible with the axial flow blower shown in Figure 6. The dataer is a single, molded body 703 including an axial recess 703 for coupling with the motor. It may be formed as follows. The multiple rotor stage is integrally formed with the rotor unit. The integrally formed rotor reduces manufacturing costs, reduces the number of parts, and is easy to manufacture. The difference can also be reduced. Each stage 702 is aligned with the other in the axial direction and has the same geometry. The shape is shown. Figures 7B and 7C show the shaft which may be formed by the rotor in Figure 7A. The flow stator stage is shown. The rotor stage 704 forms the axial flow stator stage. The blower housing 705 may be aligned in this manner. In some forms, the stage is axial They don't need to be aligned in a specific direction, and each individual stage is arranged differently from the other stages. It's okay if it is.

[0049] Another suitable embodiment of the blower, as shown in Figures 8A and 8B, includes a centrifugal stage and It may also include both an axial flow stage and a blower. As shown in Figures 8A and 8B, The first stage may be a centrifugal stage 801. Two air bubbles are drawn from the centrifugal stage. Downstream along the annular path formed within the blower through the axial flow stages 802 and 803 It is movable. The configuration is adapted to a particular embodiment to increase pressure and flow relative to the airflow. This can result in a combination of increasing and decreasing values.

[0050] The rotor, which has a centrifugal stage positioned at the top facing the suction port, is shown in Figures 9A to 9C. The rotor is shown in the impeller blade 903 and impeller shroud disc. It may be equipped with a . Also, the rotor has axial flow blades 902 formed on it in the axial direction. It may include an extending wall 901. The axially extending wall may also allow airflow to pass through it. It forms part of a moving annular flow path. The rotor in this configuration also has a circular cavity 9 It may be equipped with 04, through which the rotor is coupled to the motor.

[0051] Figures 10A and 10B show the first half of the exterior housing 1001 with an interior wall. The vane 1002 may be formed on the inner wall. The outer housing 1001 is block Both the stator vanes 1002 for the centrifugal and axial flow stages are shaped on a straight wall. It is configured to achieve this. Such a structure can improve the manufacturability of the housing. Each of the two halves of the outer housing 1001 is configured to engage with a key. and complementary recesses may be provided. The structure of the external housing 1001 in multiple parts is as follows: The portion is integrally molded with the stator vane 1002 and is capable of protruding inward from the inner wall. I'll do that.

[0052] The motor may be housed together with the motor housing. Figures 11A and 11B show the motor housing. An example of a woving is shown. The motor housing allows the shaft to protrude from it. It may include a cavity 1101. Also, the motor housing has a set for airflow. The motor housing may include the outlet cavity 1104. It may also include connection points 1102 and 1103 for connecting to the motor.

[0053] Another embodiment of a motor that may be used in an air curtain system is a Tesla blower. That's also good. Tesla blowers have thin, flat discs that can give blowers a slim profile. It may have a hole. Therefore, the blower can be easily concealed and made inconspicuous. It is possible. Tesla blowers have no blades, so Tesla blowers It can operate without generating tone noise output.

[0054] 4.2.2.1 Motor-Blower for this Technology One or more of the above blowers are air curtain devices, equipped with a patient interface. Used in examples of this technology such as air filtration devices or entertainment air systems. It may be something suitable for doing so.

[0055] The design and selection of an appropriate blower depends on the intended use and shape or size of the system. The blower may be changed by increasing its size or to change the output flow and / or pressure. It may be reduced in size. However, the design of an appropriate blower configuration is important for the user's eyes. By presenting the fact that it is a little bit of a hassle and minimizing power consumption, its operation This will enable the design of blowers for this technology that will maximize time. For example, in series A blower with too many stages is, as a result, too large to be practical for everyday use. It can become something.

[0056] The blower is positioned closer to the point where the airflow is delivered to the user, for example, above the user's shoulders. If the air supply conduit is relatively large in diameter, for example, 19 mm inner diameter, then low pressure odor A blower capable of providing the desired flow rate may suffice. Such a blower It may be a single-stage centrifugal blower or a multi-stage axial flow blower. However, if a higher flow rate is desired... If possible, the system may be equipped with multiple blower stages connected in parallel, each consisting of centrifugal blowers.

[0057] In another embodiment, the blower is located distal to the point where the airflow is delivered to the user, for example, at the user's It may be positioned above the waist. The blower is connected to the user flow interface via a narrow tube. If connected to a face, the blower needs to be able to provide high pressure. Therefore, a hybrid axial flow and centrifugal blower may be considered appropriate.

[0058] 4.2.3 Air Curtain An air curtain divides the surrounding environment into two separate environments: an internal environment and an external environment. It may occur for the purpose of [unclear]. The internal environment is an air curtain system (e.g., user flow air). While it essentially contains air coming from the center, the external environment is airborne. It contains air that did not pass through the condensing system. Compared to ambient air pressure, positive air pressure, Equivalent air pressure is used to prevent air from entering the air curtain "enclosure" from the outside. It may be maintained within an internal environment maintained by an air curtain.

[0059] A schematic diagram of the "air curtain system" is shown in Figure 12. In the schematic diagram, blower 1 The 202 is located near the air duct 1201. The blower 1202 minimizes the pressure drop. It is located near the air duct 1201 to optimize performance and maximize battery life. For example, the air pressure is determined by the airflow passing through the filter 1204, conduit, and air duct 1201. Because it moves, the airflow between the blower's outlet and the user's face can be significantly reduced. The pressure difference between the blower's outlet and the user's face depends on the geometry of the air pressure path (e.g., cross-section). Shape and area, path length, type of filter used, and dimensions of the filter used This includes, but is not limited to, the law and can vary further depending on several other parameters. Lower 1202 and filter 1204 may be part of a flow generator.

[0060] In the system shown in Figure 12, the air duct 1201 is, for example, 25 cm in length and 1 cm in diameter. It may be 9mm, and the blower 1202 is suspended inside the noise enclosure 1203. It has a large intake filter 1204. The system in Figure 12 is, for example, Having a constant flow of 150 liters / minute and a pressure at both ends of the blower, for example, 12 cmH2O This is also acceptable. The estimated power consumption may be 13W. Filter 1204, conduit, and air duct Component 1201 can cause pressure loss. Example: In an air curtain system, air The air duct 1201 probably has a pressure loss of, for example, 0.25 cmH2O. Furthermore, filter 1204 may have a pressure loss of 4 cmH2O. Also, each air The pneumatic conduit may experience a pressure loss of 0.1 cmH2O. Therefore, assuming a static power of 1W... In this case, a 6-cell battery (12Wh cell capacity) can last for 4.8 hours in its initial state. It should be possible. The number provided is representative, and other numbers and ranges using the same technology are also possible. Please note that this is possible.

[0061] The correct flow angle allows for higher efficiency in supplying air from the air curtain system. It can exert its influence. The airflow rate is the proportion of air drawn in by the user of the air curtain system. Increasing the flow angle has less impact compared to increasing the flow rate. See Figure 31. This results in an air curtain system that is sucked in by the user, with a range of 0% to 90%. The simulation results showing the proportion of air provided are presented on the Y-axis. During the simulation, readings were taken at various angles, distances, and flow rates. (Figure) As shown in 31, labeled Qinlet, 150 liters / minute (2 per second) Two flow rates are used: 0.5 meters and 300 liters / minute (5 meters per second). It was used. Each of the two flow rates was connected to a user flow interface such as an air duct. This was applied at three different distances (in millimeters) measured from the user's nostrils. These distances are labeled AnteriorOffset in Figure 31. For each distance, the flow from the air outlet of the user flow interface to the nostrils The range of the angle of deviation is measured in degrees and labeled as flow angle (α), and shown on the X-axis. All measurements in the simulation are taken at an ambient air temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, without ambient air velocity. Figure 32 shows how the forward offset distance (AnteriorOff This shows a sagittal view of whether the set (set) and flow angle (α) were measured.

[0062] As can be seen from the scatter plot in Figure 31, the proportion of purified air inhaled by the user The priority of significance regarding this is angle (flow angle), distance (Anterior Offset), and then... This is the flow rate (Qinlet). The flow is directed towards the user's airway at a flow angle of approximately 40 degrees. Therefore, the proportion of purified air inhaled by the user is usually determined by simulation. It is higher than 60%.

[0063] In the case of a 50mm forward offset, the air supply from the air curtain system is shown in Figure 33. This is shown in Figure 33. The flow angle is 17 degrees and the flow rate is 2.5 meters / second. As you can see, the air supplied from the air curtain system reaches the user's nostrils. It is approximately 50%. In Figure 34, an air curtain with a forward offset of 75 mm is shown. The stem is shown. The flow angle is 30 degrees and the flow rate is 2.5 meters / second. Figure 34 As you can see, the air supplied from the air curtain system in the user's nostrils The ratio is approximately 75%. The higher flow angle provided in Figure 34 is for the air curtain system. This provides users with a higher percentage of purified air.

[0064] 4.3 Smart Air Purification Technology Air curtain systems are used to create clean air systems (CAS). This is possible. The CAS removes particulate matter and gases from the air before providing filtered air to the user. A multi-stage filter may be provided for removal. CAS also removes volatile gases from the ambient air. It may also have the ability to remove odors, bacteria, and viruses. After filtering the air The CAS was then filtered to the user through the user flow interface 104. Air may be provided. The provided air may be in the form of at least one air curtain. In some embodiments, the CAS may communicate all data on a display. The AS may have control functions directly on the housing. The data may be transmitted to a smartphone or computer program, and online. The data may be presented via a database. CAS can also be used on smartphones, tablets. Graphical user interfaces (G) displayed on computers and other devices. It may be controlled by the UI.

[0065] As shown in Figure 1, the active air purification system includes a flow generator 1603 and a smart-clean air filter. Includes lean air filtering 103 and user flow interface 104 That's fine. The flow generator may be any of the aforementioned motors, and also a filter and sensor. It can include CAS. An example implementation of CAS is shown in Figure 14. Dirty air 140 1 is first drawn into the flow generator by passing through the pre-filter 1402. Alternatively, the pre-filter 1402 may also be affected by ambient air that could damage the motor 1403. Then the particles are removed. The motor 1403 then, as shown in Figure 14, the primary filter Air may be forced through 1404. The primary filter 1404 is desired to be separated from the ambient air. Unfiltered particulate matter and / or volatile substances may be removed. The filtered air is then cleaned. The purified air 1405 is output to the user through the user flow interface 104. It may also be used.

[0066] As shown in Figure 35, the CAS controls the operation of the flow generator 1603. A roller 3501 may be further provided. The controller 3501 is, for example, a flow generator. It is used to adjust the flow rate and also to adjust the air pressure generated by the flow generator. The controller 3501 may be housed in the same housing as the CAS. The user flow interface 3504 houses the controller 3501. It may be directly coupled to AS. The contaminated air 3503 then enters the controller 3501. The supplied CAS may be filtered, and the cleaned air will then flow to the user. The data may be sent to interface 3504. Controller 3501 will send the traffic to the user. , allowing for adjustment of CAS conditions such as flow pressure, flow temperature, and flow humidity. It may include a touch screen. Alternatively, the controller 3501 is a smartphone, A controller may be a tablet, computer, or standalone device. It may be operated by device 3502. The controller device 3502 is Controller 3501 allows remote control of the controller 3501 Wireless communication may also be used.

[0067] In some embodiments, the CAS operates passively without requiring a blower or controller. It may be configured in such a way. For example, as shown in Figure 36A, the CAS is a cartridge Discharge includes holder 3690, discharge conduit 3670 and flow interface 3680 The system may consist of the cartridge holder as shown in Figure 36B. The cartridge 3620 may be held. The cartridge 3620 is lightweight and It is made of one or more materials, including metal or plastic, that have the ability to withstand high internal pressure. Cartridge 3620 may be filled with clean, compressed air, and the delivery conduit 3 Air can be released through 670 to the user interface 3680.

[0068] A control valve on the delivery system (not shown) is located at the user interface via the delivery conduit 3670. The flow rate of compressed air up to face 3680 can be controlled. Such a delivery system is a blower Since it doesn't require a controller, it can be small, lightweight, and operate quietly. In one embodiment, if requested by the user, increased airflow can be provided. A passive cartridge delivery system may be used to supplement a dynamic CAS. Passive CAS may also be used as a backup to active CAS. Regarding this point, the valve regulator will open automatically or manually if the active CAS becomes inoperable. They may be released.

[0069] Cartridge 3620 is filled with compressed, clean air by the refillable air purifier base 3610. It may be done. In this regard, the refillable air purifier base 3610 filters and compresses the air. And optionally, it can be moistened and / or scented. Cartridge 36 The 20 may be installed inside the refill cleaner base 3610, inside the filling port 3630. The loading port 3630 opens the valve 3625, such as a spring valve, on the cartridge 3620. It may be. The refillable purifier base 3610 is then filtered, compressed, and optional The humidified air is then injected into the cartridge 3620 through the opened valve 3625. Yes. Once cartridge 3620 is removed from filling port 3630, valve 3625 will seal. That's fine too. Cartridge 3620 does not need to be refilled every hour or more or less. It can store enough compressed air to operate until it reaches a certain point.

[0070] The refillable air purifier base 3610 may use an impeller blower to compress the air. In this regard, the impeller blower may draw air into the inlet 3640. Inlet 364 0 is an initiative to filter out large particles from the air before it passes through the impeller blower. It may include a filter. The impeller blower then fills the canister 3620 with air. You can also push it in, and more air will be forced into the filling canister, so Compresses air. In some embodiments, the strap 3650 and clip 3660 are For portability, the base can be securely attached to the user or another object. For this purpose, it may be mounted on the refillable purifier base. The unit may be powered via a battery or a wired power supply.

[0071] In some embodiments, the impeller blower has one or more additives that can evaporate a liquid such as water. You can also force air through the heat element, thereby adding humidity to the air. In this configuration, humidity is also handled by a separate water wick cartridge within the refillable purifier base 3610. It can be introduced into the system via [this method].

[0072] In some embodiments, the dispensing system can prevent any bacteria and / or bacteria that may develop within the device. Alternatively, it may include an antimicrobial material lining and / or an antimicrobial pouch to reduce odor. Such antimicrobial materials include silver threads and merino wool to absorb bacteria and odors. , or may contain bamboo charcoal. Such material lining and / or pouches are removable and replaceable. The air curtain system may be replaceable and / or washable. It can be designed to be portable and compact so that it can be used as is. For example, compact The lower part, as shown in Figure 37A, has an impeller 3720 for generating airflow, and air Conduit 730 for delivery to the patient interface, and controller, battery, and / or may include an attachment space 3740 in which the sensor may be positioned. In addition, The Compact Blower 3710 also draws in airborne particles using the Impeller 3720. An intake filter 3770 may be included to remove [unclear]. The compact blower has strap 3 760 may be attached to the user or another object.

[0073] Referring to Figure 37B, the compact blower 3710 uses the strap 3760. It may be configured to be attached to the body 3790 of the unit. In some embodiments, The width of the Pact Blower 3710 is less than 10mm, or more or less, it fits into pocket 3. It should be small enough to fit inside 795. It should be compact when placed inside pocket 3795. An extender may be fitted to the Toblowa so that air can be drawn into it. . Extending of the pocket 3795 that holds the compact blower 3710 in Figure 37B. Referring to the diagram, the filter extender 3775 is attached to the intake filter 3770. It can be attached. As such, the intake filter 3770 extends the air. It can also be drawn into the compact blower through 3775. Extender 3775 is It is located at the boundary between the outside and just inside of the socket. In some embodiments, The Pact Blower reduces flow obstruction introduced by conduit 3730 and user It may be placed close to the user's head to reduce resistance when the head moves.

[0074] Since the air curtain system can be portable, it can be powered by a battery. It may be provided. Also, the unit does not appear to the user as if they are using a medical device. Therefore, they should be able to hide from sight or be camouflaged. In this embodiment, the air curtain system is designed to minimize power consumption by allowing the user to suck in air. We can provide an air curtain only while you are inside.

[0075] The filters used to purify the air can be easily installed inside the CAS and the CAS It may be provided in the form of a removable cartridge. Different filters are available for the user. Depending on the needs, different types of filtration may be offered. For example, a filter that provides odor removal. Some cartridges offer bacterial removal, while others provide it. In several examples... A multi-stage filter 103 may be used to improve the filtration effect and / or efficiency. Each filter provides filtration for different types of contaminants, so a multi-type filter is available. They may be used simultaneously. In some embodiments, the CAS resides within the user's environment. Automatically controls airflow through specific filters based on particulate matter and / or volatile substances. It may be self-configurable for this purpose. Filters are not needed or are no longer functioning correctly. It may be easily replaced if it does not function. In some embodiments, it is completely against the airflow. Unlimited filters that cause no or very little disruption may be used.

[0076] One embodiment of the filter system is a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA filter). To qualify as HEPA according to U.S. government standards, the air filter must be HEPA-compatible. 99.97% of 0.3 μm particles must be removed from the air passing through the filter. EPA filters work by blocking airborne particles as the air passes through the filter. It works by having air pass through the HEPA filter, causing particles in the air to collide with the fibers. It is then removed from the air.

[0077] Another example of a filter that can be used in CAS is a polarization medium electret. It is a filter. Most polarization medium electron air cleaners use 24 volts to establish a polarization field. Converts the current to a safe DC voltage. As particles in the air pass through the electric field, the particles The particles become polarized. These polarized particles adhere to a disposable fiber media pad.

[0078] An ionizer purifier is another type of filter that can be used within a CAS (Civil Air System). The use of an ionizer purifier generates charged air or gas ions on an electrical surface or The needle was charged. These ions then, as the air passed through the ionizer purifier... It attaches to particles in the air. As the particles continue to pass through the ionizer purifier, the particles It is attracted to the electrostatic dust collection plate.

[0079] A thermodynamic sterilization filter may also be used. This technology heats the air to 200°C (392°F). It can be heated both front and back. As the air is heated, bacteria, viruses, and Particles such as dust mite allergens, filamentous fungi, and fungal spores are incinerated. Possibly up to 9 9.9% of microbial particles can be removed using a thermodynamic sterilization filter.

[0080] Active carbon filters may also be used in CAS. Active carbon is molecularly based It is a porous material that can absorb volatile chemicals. Active carbon filters can absorb volatile chemicals from the air. For purifying compressed air and gas to remove il vapor, odors, and other volatile organic compounds. It is commonly used.

[0081] Electrostatic filters may also be used in CAS. The electrostatic filter has multiple layers of material It can function by sandwiching them together. Air then passes through these layers. It may be done. As air passes through the layer of material, particles in the air come into contact with the filter layer. They can become charged as a result of friction between them. The charged particles then become charged in the opposite direction to the charged particles. It may adhere to other layers within the filter.

[0082] Photocatalytic oxidation filter systems can also be used in CAS. Catalytic oxidation filter systems can completely oxidize and degrade organic pollutants. For example. If low concentrations of volatile organic compounds, such as several hundred PPM (parts per million) or less, are not completely oxidized, The most expensive option is the photocatalytic oxidation filter system, which uses a catalyst (usually titanium dioxide (TiO2)). Short-wave ultraviolet light is used to activate the bacteria and oxidize the viruses.

[0083] Table 3 lists the filter types and the contaminants that these filters can effectively remove. This section provides an overview of the different types.

[0084] [Table 1]

[0085] The Clean Air System (CAS) also monitors the system, the surrounding environment, and the user. It houses sensors and wireless communication devices. The wireless communication devices include GPS and Bluetooth. It can take the form of a registered trademark, Wi-Fi, cellular data network, etc. By utilizing information obtained via sensors and wireless communication devices, the CAS receives Based on the collected data, it becomes possible to provide protection for post-incident responses. CAS also allows users You may monitor the health and environment of the population.

[0086] Responsive protection may be provided by a clean air system (CAS). For example, CA S may continuously monitor in real time for pollutants such as those listed in Table 3. If the CAS determines that contaminants are present, the system will contact the user. Yes, it is possible. The CAS also uses the information received from the sensor to alert the user. may be used. Such warnings may be generated by a smart pollution warning system implemented on the CAS The smart pollution warning system may use readings from pollution sensors such as PM2.5 sensors to project or display current or historical readings of sensors on the device in a visible or audible manner. As such, the user, and others present near them, may be informed of the pollution levels in their environment. In another example, the CAS may trigger a warning to indicate that the air temperature and pollutant content at the user's current location may be likely to cause a health condition such as a respiratory disease. The system may also warn the user to increase the filtration strength or replace the filter cartridge for more effective filtration of the detected pollutants.

[0087] Alternatively, the CAS may automatically adjust the filtration based on the sensor readings. The clean air system may implement one or more air quality sensors coupled to a controller in a feedback loop. The controller may be configured to respond to signals from the one or more air quality sensors to set the operation of one or more filters. For example, if the air quality sensor senses a large amount of pollen, the controller can determine which type of filter is effective in removing pollen. Since a HEPA filter is effective in removing pollen, the controller can cause the CAS to start filtering the air through the HEPA filter. Alternatively, the controller can also notify the user that the pollen count is high and that a HEPA filter should be used. The CAS = Furthermore, the user was in a contaminated area for a considerable amount of time and was in a cleaner, more contaminated area. It can also warn users that they should search areas where the character is not present.

[0088] The controller also uses GPS to access online databases and information. Location sensors such as sensors and wireless communication devices (e.g., Wi-Fi antennas and modules) It may be configured together with the following: For example, the controller may use GPS to determine the user's location. Detection may be performed. Based on location data, a controller wireless communication device may be used in the area. The controller may also access a database of known contaminants. After identifying the contaminants, the controller removes them from the supplied air. To do this, you can configure the operation of one or more filters in CAS. Alternatively, Trolla does not set the behavior of one or more filters; instead, it gives the user one or more filters. You may also want to instruct it to configure the filter's behavior.

[0089] The controller also uses wireless communication equipment to provide daily and local weather and air quality forecasts. It may be accessed. Based on the received weather and / or air quality data, the controller The system uses one or more filters to prevent the user from inhaling any harmful particles. The controller may also set the strength level for filtration. Alternatively, the controller does not set the strength or operation of one or more filters, The user may be instructed to set the operation or strength of one or more filters. The weather and / or air quality data may be updated when the user changes their location.

[0090] User health and environmental monitoring may also be performed by a clean air system. For example, one or more controllers are configured to detect the user's physiological data. It may be coupled with user sensors. Such data may include heart rate data, sweat data, and temperature data. The data may also include temperature data, breath flow data, O2 saturation data, etc. The sensor is a heart rate sensor. Sa, humidity sensor, thermistor, flow sensor, oxygen concentration meter, or any one or more others It is also acceptable. Physiological data from the sensor may be recorded and returned to the user. The communication may take place on the CAS or on a computer or smartphone. It may be accessed via a line database. In addition, physiological data may be accessed by the user. It may communicate with an online database that has a profile. The user may access the database and also review the information in the profile. Good. Also, the feedback signal indicates whether the user is falling asleep or waking up. In each case, it can be used to turn the CAS switch on or off. In some embodiments, the CAS is always switched on. In some embodiments, Scientific data may be analyzed to determine the user's illness. For example, if the user sleeps... User data collected during this time may be analyzed to determine sleep disorder breathing. .

[0091] CAS may also include a target tracking sensor. The target tracking sensor and the corresponding Algo Rhythm may be employed to monitor what the user is focusing their eyes on. The purpose of the target tracking sensor is to determine the user's head orientation for nozzle adjustment by detecting the face land. It is to determine the position of the user's eyes based on which mark. For example, if the user turns their head to look at something, the nozzle adjusts to maintain the air alignment with the suction inlet of the user's airway. Real - type contamination and position data from the network of similar systems can be collected and sent to the database. The collected information can be used to create a real - time contamination degree map. The real - time contamination degree can indicate what the contamination level is for a specific position. Also, the map may be used to warn other users about dangerous places around them. The map is also useful for researchers to understand the contamination tendency in a specific area.

[0092]

[0093] The smart contamination navigation program may also be implemented on the CAS. For example, based on the position and contamination data received from the sensor, the CAS can provide navigation data similar to a traffic map and can direct the user and / or traveler to avoid specific areas with high contamination levels. In one embodiment, the CAS may receive a destination from the user. The CAS then avoids the route that would cause the user to travel through areas with high contamination levels and can guide the user to the destination via a screen or voice navigation. In some embodiments, the CAS may be connected to the user's smart phone, and the phone's GPS and navigation software may be used in conjunction with the CAS to direct the user. In one embodiment, the smart ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The contamination navigation program can monitor the user's location and inform the user of contamination. You can give notice that you are approaching or are in an area with a high level of contamination. In this embodiment, the location sensor detects when the user is in an unfamiliar place, such as when the user is traveling. When determined, the sensor can extract air pollution safety hints about the location and the contamination. It can automatically sense the dye content and concentration, and appropriately adjust the filtration. .

[0094] Real-time contamination monitoring also provides indicators within the online user profile. This may be converted to: The indicator indicates how much contamination the user was in and how much It can inform users whether they have avoided a certain amount of contamination. It can provide users with knowledge about different types of contaminants to which the device has been exposed. Furthermore, this indicator may also inform the user of the percentage of oxygen inhaled over a certain period of time. The daily oxygen percentage, broken down by time and inhaled, may be communicated to the user. This information allows users to recognize the effectiveness of the protection provided by CAS. .

[0095] The CAS detects the orientation of the user flow interface and / or wind direction and wind. It may further include one or more sensors configured to detect speed. For example, one or more The upper sensor is an anemometer that detects wind and detects the orientation of the user flow interface. It may include an accelerometer. Based on information from the anemometer and accelerometer, a computer program The sessa may be able to calculate the optimal air nozzle angle and / or position. The computer processor is used to obtain the best ratio of clean air delivered to the user. The strength of the airflow may be determined. The computer processor uses the recorded data It may be linked to non-transient memory for storage.

[0096] Based on the results calculated by the processor, the device's controller controls the operation of the CAS. It can be adjusted. For example, the detected wind and / or user flow interface. Based on the orientation of the flow, the processor determines that a change in the operation of the flow generator is necessary. This is possible. Accordingly, the controller may change the flow velocity in the flow generator. Rossessa also uses wind and / or user flow interface orientation as a guide. The air nozzles within the flow interface need to change position and / or You may determine that the angle needs to be changed. Accordingly, the controller will The nozzle can be adjusted to obtain the best ratio of purified air to 2D air.

[0097] In some cases, the user may need to determine whether the CAS is performing its intended function. This can sometimes be difficult. Accordingly, CAS should perform the functions it is meant to perform. It can be configured to provide feedback to the user regarding whether or not it exists. As shown in 14, the CAS includes an aroma dispenser that matches the airflow. That's fine. Once the aroma dispenser is activated, the dispenser will recognize the aroma and scent. The fragrance 1301 can be released into the flow of purified air 1302. It may be possible to instruct user 1303 that it is functioning and providing clean air. Furthermore, the user is confident that they are inhaling purified air following the scented air. It is possible.

[0098] In addition to, or instead of, the active air purification systems described herein, passive A type filter may be introduced into the system. For example, as shown in Figure 38, a passive type filter The filter may be placed over the mouth and / or nose of user 3806. The passive filter may supplement or replace the amount of clean air provided to the user. Therefore, the CAS blower 3804 provides the total amount of clean air to the user 3806, thus solving the problem. It may be released. In some embodiments, when the demand for clean air filtration is low, To save energy, blower 3804 may be turned off, and user 3806 Regarding clean air, the passive filter 3802 can be relied upon. Also, the blower 380 4. The passive filter provides sufficient air to the user without supplying an excessive amount of air. Because it can provide airflow, the passive filter 3802 is for user 3806 This allows us to provide a more comfortable experience.

[0099] The clean air system can be implemented as an integrated and interconnected system. In this regard, CAS is a fitness band or smartwatch type device. Connectivity may be simulated. In addition to providing clean air to the user, Furthermore, even if CAS is programmed to function like an extension of a smartphone... Good. For example, the CAS processor communicates with the user via a communication interface. It may be programmed to communicate with a phone. The communication interface is To receive and transmit data to a smartphone via wired and wireless connections. It may be configured as follows: Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, RF, Cellular Data networks, radio waves, and other resources may be used between the CAS and the smartphone. This is an example of a wireless communication device.

[0100] Once a connection is established between the CAS and the smartphone, the user can use SMS and MM. You may also send and receive mobile phone calls along with sending and receiving S messages. For example, If it is acceptable for the CAS to communicate as if using a telephone, then the CAS will use a micro This may include multiple phones, multiple speakers, and / or multiple headphones. AS may also be programmed to recognize voice commands and the camera may be CAS It may have camera capabilities if it needs to be mounted internally. Integrated and connected to the system As a system, the CAS device is carried and / or worn by the user for most of the time. This means that the likelihood of the device being used increases, and consequently, the user's health may be affected. It will improve.

[0101] When a user is speaking, directing air to the user's nose and mouth enhances the user's conversation. This can distort speech, dry out the user's mouth, or make them uncomfortable talking. To avoid distortion and discomfort, the CAS may include a speak mode. The speech recognition mode may be implemented in conjunction with the use of speech recognition software. The wearer may also allow the device to sense when the user is speaking. Furthermore, while the user continues speaking during a response, reduce the supply of air to the mouth and nose or It may be possible to cancel the conversation. In some embodiments, the conversation software is system When the system detects that the user is speaking, it activates the exhaust valve, if present in the CAS. If so, it can be opened fully automatically.

[0102] The purifying air system also integrates with other intelligent health systems and fee A CAS may be included. For example, a CAS may be used to monitor usage and the usage of the CAS. It may include additional tracking capabilities to provide feedback to the user based on the monitor. The ring is implemented through the use of sensors such as contamination sensors, temperature sensors, and physiological sensors. The sensor may be placed in one or more locations to detect contamination, such as the contamination shown in Table 3. The presence and concentration may be monitored. The CAS also tracks where and when it was operating. This may be done. The monitored and tracked data may be stored in memory within the CAS system. Alternatively, it may be uploaded to a cloud-based or local storage system. .

[0103] CAS may use monitored information to provide feedback to users. For example, based on the collected data, CAS can determine when the device was most beneficial. Where it occurred, the number of times the CAS was used, the amount of contamination removed from the user's respiratory pathway ( (Units such as grams), filter efficiency (i.e., how many particles are filtered out from the user's exhaled breath) You may also determine whether the child and gas are being removed, or other factors. Monitored and tracked data The data is displayed on the CAS's screen, or on a personal computer or smartphone, etc. Graphs and charts containing tracked measurements on the display of another device. This may be presented to the user. The monitored and tracked data may also be shared with online users. The metrics may be converted to metrics within the profile. These metrics can be used on the device or online. Another device such as a smartphone or personal computer with an in-profile connection. It may be accessible to the user via a computing device.

[0104] CAS may also include exercise modes. These exercise modes can be manually activated by the user. Alternatively, it may be automatically activated by CAS. To automatically activate the exercise mode, CAS S is a sensor that collects data such as humidity, air temperature, flow, and CO2 concentration. Data obtained from the collection may be used. Once the data is received, the phase of exhalation Increased humidity, increased ventilation per minute, and increased discharged air temperature suggest signs of movement. The device may then automatically switch to exercise mode. Depending on its configuration, the CAS may activate an active exhaust valve. This exhaust valve is used to control the user's discharge. You can separate the air that has been released. Exercise also leads to an increase in CO2 levels, so the user Accumulation can occur within interfaces that partially cover the mouth and / or nose. Therefore, Alternatively, or in addition to an active exhaust valve, an active carbon filter reduces CO2 concentration. It can be introduced into exercise mode for this purpose. Also, while in exercise mode, CAS The blower may be powered on or its output may be increased.

[0105] In some embodiments, the cooling system also uses CAS to cool the inhaled air. It may be added to the system. The cooling system includes a blower and filter that draw in cooler air from the environment. It could potentially serve as an additional valve along with Ruta. Or, or from the environment In addition to drawing in cold air, the CAS cools the air as it passes through the chip. It may include a Peltier chip. The cooling system is CAS kinetic motor It may start automatically when switching to the dot, or it may be started manually by the user. You can.

[0106] To support users in achieving their fitness goals and to encourage device use. To that end, the CAS may provide respiratory and / or use targets. In this regard, the CA S may provide users with daily, monthly, or yearly goals to encourage them to make an effort. For example, CAS could provide a daily goal of using the device for approximately two hours. In another embodiment, the device instructs the user to breathe at a target respiratory rate for approximately 15 minutes. You may instruct them to do so. The respiratory and usage goals are the user's respiratory health progress (respiratory (monitoring health progress) (e.g., improvement in resting respiratory rate) It provides features that can be used for fitness goals, along with these goals. Progress toward the goal may be included in the metrics within the online user profile. The indicator is a smart device that has a connection to an online profile or on a device. Access by the user via another computing device such as a phone or personal computer. It may be possible to set fitness goals directly on the CAS or on the user's online platform. It may also be updated by accessing the in-profile.

[0107] CAS is suitable or It can promote improved breathing. In this regard, CAS is a respiratory training method. IIMTV may be launched when requested. The IIMTV will open the valve and you The system requires the user to reach a certain level of intake pressure before allowing air intake. This may also be done. In this embodiment, the CAS may be a sealed interface. Alternatively, Furthermore, the CAS may have an open interface and may contain other elements such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide. By increasing the proportion of gas molecules, or by decreasing the air pressure The oxygen level may be reduced to around 15%, therefore per unit volume inhaled The number of air molecules will decrease.

[0108] CAS is configured to detect one or more unintended leaks in the system. The sensor may further include, for example, a face mask for blowing air to the user. When headgear such as the above is used, the seals are designed to maintain the device's full effectiveness. It should be maintained between the user and the mask. Sensors such as flow sensors should be maintained between the mask and the user. If a leak is detected between the device and the scanner, the device will either be masked or replaced. You may inform the user that they should do so. Instead, CAS will not leak any information. If a leak is detected during an attempt to seal it, the actuator mounted on the headgear will activate The headgear may be automatically triggered via a regulator.

[0109] When wearing a mask or other such flow interface for the first time, the system Because there is an internal obstruction, it is difficult to take in enough clean air into the mask. That is possible. That's why the smart purified air rising algorithm is a controller It may be used by [someone]. In this regard, the controller is connected to the flow interface. It provides the maximum clean air flow rate, and then once the user is comfortable with the clean air level... If appropriate, the system may be programmed to slowly decrease the clean air flow rate. The advantage of this configuration is that energy can be saved when the blower is not operating at full speed for extended periods. It is located there.

[0110] To further enhance user comfort, an active exhalation valve (EAV) is used. The amount of CO2 accumulated in the squirt or other flow interface may be reduced. In this regard, the EAV may be triggered to open as soon as it detects the user's breath. Therefore, exhaled air will flow out of the purified air system, and as a result This immediately removes CO2 from the CAS and reduces the feeling of suffocation experienced by the user. In that embodiment, the CAS is activated when the CO2 level in the user's mask exceeds a predetermined threshold. EAV can be triggered to open in certain situations.

[0111] An integrated and connected CAS system can also be used with other integrated and connected CAS systems. Synchronization is also possible. By synchronizing multiple CAS systems together, users can... This may allow monitoring the usage of other users' devices within a synchronized group of devices. In this regard, each device is a group of family members, a group of friends, a group of colleagues Each CAS synchronized to a group may be assigned to a group such as P. You may also monitor the usage history of other synchronized devices within the system. The data includes the number of hours the device was used, respiration and / or usage goals, and fitness goals. Targets, progress toward achieving goals, exercise history, and other similar information collected from sensors on the CAS. Reports may be made.

[0112] In some embodiments, users of each device are administrator level, high level, and base level. It may be assigned to an access level such as a bell. The administrator is in a synchronized CAS system. It is possible to control all features in between. As such, the administrator can control which Whether a device may be added to or removed from a synchronization group and the group It may be possible to control the access levels of users within the platform. Administrators can also control what information users have access to. The administrator may control what can be shared and / or monitored. For example, the administrator can control what can be shared. You may give full access to highly assigned users to monitor the information, but On the other hand, the data that the base user may view and / or share may be restricted. In one embodiment... The group may include five family members, including two parents and three children. Parents may be given administrator-level access, while older children may be given high-level access. They may be given a base access level, and two younger children may be given a base access level. As such, parents may monitor and control all of their child's use. The older brother, who has a bell, can choose what information he wants to share, and He may monitor the devices of his two younger brothers and sisters. A person's younger siblings can only view their own personal information, and also within the family group. You may be blocked from viewing other users' profiles.

[0113] In some embodiments, the CAS includes headphones or a hands-free talk device. The microphone and headphone set functions as a walkie-talkie device. It can be connected to other clean air systems that are in very close proximity. The conversation can take place between all CAS devices within the specified range, or within a family member's sync group, etc. This may be possible only for devices assigned to a specific synchronization group.

[0114] In some embodiments, the CAS may perform an infant monitoring function. For example, the CAS may be It may be attached to a head or installed in very close proximity to an infant. The information collected by the sensors on the CAS may be transferred to the caregiver. It may be uploaded to a storage location such as a cloud storage location. (Caregiver's CAS device) The transfer information may be displayed, or the transfer information may be recorded in the cloud using another computing device. It may be accessed from memory devices.

[0115] The clean space server may aggregate information and provide it to the CAS device. As shown in Figure 39, the clean space server (CSS) 3902 receives data from various sources. Information may be received. Based on the received information, the CSS will be customized and updated. The report is sent to the CAS device, and the operating parameters of the CAS device are automatically updated. You can adjust it to that.

[0116] CSS may consist of one or more servers. These servers may be local area servers. Connected to one or more networks such as a LAN or the Internet. This is also acceptable.

These signals indicate when the entertainment system should trigger a stimulus. It may also indicate the amount and type of stimulus provided. It may be indicated whether it should be done. The signal is received by the controller, and the controller The entertainment system includes control of flow generators and / or additional sensory feedback. Even if you provide stimuli that are indicated within signals such as smell, taste, and touch good.

[0124] For example, while a user is watching a cooking show, signals from the media are transmitted to the multimedia system. It may be transmitted to the multimedia system, which then dispenses additional sensory particles. Instruct the entertainment system to release a strawberry scent from Sir 1502. This is also fine, this corresponds to the strawberry shown on the television. In some embodiments, sensory particles Releasing particles into the air results in the user experiencing sensory particles. For example, The entertainment system may emit sensory particles related to strawberries. When the user inhales, they are made to smell the scent of strawberries and also taste the flavor of strawberries. In another embodiment, when a user is playing a video game, the video game The multimedia system should send a stimulus trigger to the entertainment system. It may instruct something. The stimulus trigger is an additional sensation to the entertainment system. Particle Dispenser 1502 corresponds to the bomb that appears to have just exploded on the screen. It is acceptable to release a smoky odor.

[0125] The flow entertainment system also uses biofeedback to trigger stimulation. Dobaq can be used. As mentioned earlier regarding CAS, such data This included heart rate data, sweat data, temperature data, breath flow data, and O2 saturation data. It is also acceptable. The sensors used include heart rate sensors, humidity sensors, thermistors, and flow sensors. It may be any one or more of the following: (e.g., oxygen meter, etc.) 4D Entertainment The system may also include a target tracking sensor. This target tracking sensor is part of the user flow. It may reside on the interface or on a separate device. (Target tracking) The tracking sensor and the corresponding algorithm running on the process determine what the user is looking at. It may be employed to monitor what the focus is.

[0126] Using information received from sensors, the flow entertainment system delivers to the user. It can trigger a stimulating or relaxing effect. For example, watching a TV show. Sometimes users may start to fall asleep. The eye-tracking sensor detects when a user is asleep. The signals may be transmitted to the flow entertainment system. The system may respond to the received signals. Furthermore, the flow entertainment system also calms the user's mind and more Sleepy A nailer may be provided. Continuing with this embodiment, the target tracking sensor is used when the user falls asleep. It may sense that this is the case. Accordingly, the target tracking sensor will perform flow entertainment The system should be switched off or the user is no longer using it so we wait. A signal is sent to the flow entertainment system instructing it to be placed in power mode. You can send it. When the user wakes up, the target tracking sensor will be switched back on. You may send a signal to the flow entertainment system.

[0127] The Flow Entertainment System controller also connects to the multimedia system. Physiological data may be transmitted. Accordingly, the user can access it through a multimedia system. Access to physiological data may be permitted. Additionally, the multimedia system may include flow-stimulus triggers. Physiological data can be used to determine whether or not to send a signal. For example, - If the user's heart rate is increasing while watching a movie, the multimedia system This triggers a stimulus that instructs the body to increase the heat of the air provided to induce sweating. You can also send it to Low Entertainment Systems.

[0128] The additional sensory particle dispenser 1502 may include an aroma dispenser. The aroma dispenser is triggered by a flow entertainment system. In response to being trusted, the aroma dispenser selects to release aromas into the purified air. It may be configured to be activated automatically. The aroma dispenser holds a large amount of fragrance. A small, replaceable reservoir or cartridge may be housed. The fragrance contains odor particles and / Alternatively, they may contain flavor particles. These reservoirs or cartridges require new aroma. It can be easily removed when the reservoir or cartridge is used up. And they may be replaced.

[0129] The aroma dispenser typically uses a pump or a siphon to release fragrance in small doses. It may include an electrical or mechanical mechanism such as a motor trigger. The aroma dispenser receives A specific fragrance may be released based on a triggered stimulus. For example, a scene in a movie The film medium may include a scene in which a character walks past a hot dog cart in the rain. Decoded by a multimedia system and used as an entertainment trigger It may include instructions transmitted to the flow entertainment system. The Ment Trigger is a pump or trigger equipped with an aroma dispenser, along with the scent of rain. It may be possible to make it emit the scent of a hot dog. The user can smell what they are watching in the movie. By smelling, you can become completely immersed in the movie. In some embodiments, - The entertainment system allows users to sample the flavor particles within the fragrance. The fragrance may be blown into the user's mouth and / or lips.

[0130] The additional sensory particle dispenser 1502 may include a droplet generator. The device dispenses small droplets of liquid such as water, and a stimulation trigger is activated by the flow entertainment system. In response to being received, it may be used to inject into the purified air 1501. The droplet may be used to increase the humidity of the air being delivered to the user. For example, However, a scene in the film may include a scene of a character walking in the rain. The film medium is an entertainment film. Multimedia to send vertical triggers to the flow entertainment system Instructions may be sent to the system. The entertainment trigger will send water droplets to the droplet generator. The humidity and moisture of the air being transmitted to the user may be released into an air signal that increases the humidity and moisture content of the air. The user can then even feel the imitation of rain they see in the movie. The droplet generator has many small, replaceable reservoirs or containers that hold one or more different liquids. A cartridge may be stored inside. The liquid may contain odor particles and / or taste particles. These The reservoir or cartridge requires new liquid or the reservoir or cartridge It may be easily removed and replaced when it is empty or depleted. Several embodiments The additional sensory particle dispenser 1502 can spray droplets, ultrasonically It may include a wave transducer. The sprayed droplets are then released to an air signal. good.

[0131] The additional sensory particle dispenser 1502 includes at least one heating or cooling element It may be included as an option. The heating or cooling element induces an airflow to a specific temperature setting. The temperature of the induced airflow is changed by passing it through a heating or cooling element set to a specific location. It may be used for the purpose of heating or cooling the entertainment stimulus trigger. It may be used in response to being received by a low entertainment system. For example, a video about a barren desert simulates an air temperature of 40 degrees Celsius and It may carry a 4D signal that indicates what should be provided to the user. In another embodiment, The video about Antarctica simulates an air temperature of -20 degrees Celsius and the user It may carry a 4D signal indicating that it should be provided to. In further embodiments, The entertainment trigger causes the droplet generator to release water droplets into the air, thereby This increases the humidity and moisture content of the air, while simultaneously decreasing or increasing the temperature of the air, creating a desolate atmosphere. To create an atmosphere or a damp atmosphere, each creates a different feeling. The air enhances the senses, the chest, It may be guided towards the user's body, such as the neck or face.

[0132] An additional sensory particle dispenser is available when the fragrance or liquid cartridge or reservoir is empty. When it is detected that this is happening, an instruction may be sent to the user. The instruction is for 4D entertainment On the entertainment system, on the multimedia system, and / or the user's online... It may appear within the profile.

[0133] Entertainment / stimulus trigger-activated additional sensory particle dispenser 150 In addition to using 2, the flow entertainment system controls the flow rate of the flow generator. The flow entertainment system may also control the flow direction and flow. You may adjust the position. For example, if the user is playing a video game and the helicopter is open... When flying in a helicopter, the Flow Entertainment System is a video game system You may receive entertainment / stimulation triggers from M. Receive stimulation triggers In response to this, the entertainment system uses the flow rate generated by the flow generator. The flow rate can be adjusted to a higher level. In addition, the user flow interface is adjustable. The nozzle simulates being inside or near a helicopter, and the combination of nozzles To simulate wind direction by selectively radiating the flow from the convergence point, The user's face can be directly and mechanically (for example, with one or more electromechanical actuators) You may aim at it. Similarly, the flow entertainment system is a simulator. To provide airflow at a specific speed based on the driving speed, It may be used in simulators such as flight simulators or other similar applications. The Flow Entertainment System is a driving simulator in which the tires are car In contrast, the smell of burning rubber when spinning, and other actions within the simulator, are based on the actual gameplay. It may release a specific fragrance. In other embodiments, a flow entertainment system The system is used to create rapidly moving images in multimedia media such as movies or video games. You can also copy screenshots that have been taken. For example, a screenshot of a car driving As the shot is displayed, the entertainment system mimics the movement of air. The flow may be output to the user. Such a flow output may also be used for other purposes such as surround sound. It may be coupled with multimedia signals.

[0134] 4.5 User Flow Interface (UI) Various types of personal stereoscopic breathing interfaces (e.g., user flow interfaces) ) may be implemented in the system to guide air to the user. User flow interface Face possesses sensory characteristics such as purified air and / or particles, scent, humidity, temperature, and others. The system may allow the purified air to be delivered to the user's nose and / or mouth. Air curtain systems such as M101 or Flow Entertainment System 102 User flow interface 104 is a clothing item (e.g., a scarf or a tart) It may be hidden or concealed by a neck sweater. This is not a medical device, but rather a camouflaged fashion accessory to look like one. It may be done. The user flow interface 104 avoids unnecessary contact with the face or head. Touching should not be done, nor should the face be covered. Accordingly, user flow in The surface 104 should not restrict the user's line of sight. Also, user flow The interface 104 should be detectable visually and / or acoustically by a third party. No. By providing the user flow interface in different forms, The interface can be emotionally restrained, and therefore suitable for use in society. It could become something you like even more.

[0135] A possible user flow interface 104 is shown in Figure 16. (Glasses 16) 01 or sunglasses are used to distribute air 1605 from flow generator 1603. The spectacle 1601 is connected to the flow generator 1603 using the air supply conduit 1604. It may be continued. The air supply conduit distributes the air from the flow generator 1605 into the tube. The tube is located on one or more of the upper or inner sides of the arms 1607 of the eyeglasses.
