Solution Overview

Problem

Individuals are often exposed to unwanted environmental stimuli such as noise and unpleasant odors that negatively impact their wellbeing, and there is a need for a system to create a personalized multisensory environment to enhance their mood and improve their environment.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a fragrance atomizer with a wireless communication interface and a computing device that synchronizes the release of fragrances with sound playback based on user inputs to create a personalized multisensory experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a system creates a personalized multisensory environment with fragrance and sound synchronization, then user mood enhancement and wellbeing are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into separate functional modules: a fragrance atomizer device that handles scent delivery and a computing device that manages sound playback and synchronization. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system personalization capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A wireless communication interface acts as an intermediary between the fragrance atomizer and the computing device, enabling synchronized multisensory output without requiring direct physical connection or complex integrated circuitry in a single device.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If the system uses wireless communication interface in the fragrance atomizer, then ease of operation is improved, but use of energy increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvewireless connectivityVSAvoidenergy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless communication interface operates periodically rather than continuously, activating only when the sprayer is actuated to transmit signals to the computing device. This periodic operation reduces overall energy consumption while maintaining wireless connectivity functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

An energy harvesting switch automatically powers the wireless communication interface using energy from the mechanical actuation of the sprayer itself, eliminating the need for an external battery and reducing ongoing energy requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system synchronizes fragrance release with sound playback, then multisensory environment quality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesynchronization capabilityVSAvoidcoordination complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The synchronization function is segmented between the fragrance atomizer (which triggers events) and the computing device (which coordinates sound and scent timing). This distribution of synchronization logic across separate devices reduces the complexity burden on any single component.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Adaptability or versatility

If the system adapts to user mood and purpose of day, then adaptability is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemood adaptationVSAvoidmood detection accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system accepts multiple types of user inputs (voice samples, menu selections, face pictures, text strings) but processes only sufficient information to determine basic mood categories and purposes. This partial processing approach achieves adequate adaptability without requiring extremely precise measurement of all potential mood dimensions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action
