Aroma Diffusing System with Multi-Capsule Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional aroma devices are difficult to control in terms of scent type and intensity based on user preference, as they typically diffuse aromatic substances periodically or in response to environmental conditions without user input.
Innovation Solution
An aroma diffusing system comprising an aroma diffusing device with multiple aroma capsules and a mobile device connected via wireless communication, allowing the mobile device to independently control the intensity of aromatic substance emission from each capsule, enabling precise selection and combination of scents based on user preference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional aroma devices automatically diffuse aromatic substances periodically or based on environmental detection, then the device operation is simplified and does not require user input, but the user cannot control the kind and intensity of scents based on personal preference
Solution Approach 1:
The aroma diffusing device is divided into multiple independent aroma capsules (first through n-th capsules), each capable of emitting different aromatic substances. The mobile device independently controls the intensity of each capsule, allowing users to create customized scent combinations by selecting and adjusting individual capsules rather than controlling a single mixed-scent system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple aroma capsules are used to provide various scent combinations, then the adaptability and user preference control are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A mobile device serves as an intermediary between the user and the aroma diffusing device. The mobile device provides a user-friendly interface for selecting and controlling multiple aroma capsules, handling the complexity of managing n capsules with independent intensity controls. This separates the complexity from the physical aroma device while maintaining simple user interaction through the mobile application.

AI summary
An aroma diffusing system according to an example embodiment includes an aroma diffusing device and a mobile device. The aroma diffusing device includes a wireless communication module. The aroma diffusing device is equipped with first through n-th aroma capsules selected among a plurality of aroma capsules, which emit respective aromatic substances having different scents from each other. The mobile device is connected to the aroma diffusing device through a wireless communication. The mobile device independently controls an intensity of the emission of the aromatic substance of each of the first through n-th aroma capsules, which are installed in the aroma diffusing device, to determine a combination of scents diffused from the aroma diffusing device. The mobile device controls the intensity of the emission of the aromatic substance of each of the first through n-th aroma capsules by digitizing the intensity to an integer value.
