Solution Overview

Problem

Current fragrance compositions lack effective methods to specifically formulate odors that enhance activated, pleasant moods, with limited consistency and understanding in how to design complex fragrances for targeted emotional benefits.

Innovation Solution

Development of fragrance compositions comprising specific groups of perfume materials, such as IMP, HMR, HMI, HMP, RMP, and GEN, with defined percentage ratios and rules to create perfumes that promote invigorating and energizing moods through inhalation, using a complex blend of ingredients to enhance mood states.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional fragrance formulations are used, then general appeal is maintained, but specific mood enhancement effects are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemood enhancement effectivenessVSAvoidformulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fragrance composition is segmented into distinct functional groups (IMP, HMR, HMI, HMP, RMP, GEN) with specific materials assigned to each group based on their mood-enhancing properties. This segmentation allows systematic formulation to achieve reliable activated pleasant mood effects while maintaining manageable complexity through structured categorization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention applies specific parameter ranges for each material group (e.g., IMP: 10-40%, HMR: 5-30%, HMI: 5-30%, HMP: 5-20%, RMP: 2-10%, GEN: 2-10%) to optimize mood enhancement effectiveness. By controlling these compositional parameters, the formulation achieves reliable activated pleasant mood effects without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If simple fragrance blends are used, then formulation ease is maintained, but mood enhancement consistency is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemood enhancement consistencyVSAvoidformulation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention establishes specific parameter ranges for each material group to ensure consistent mood enhancement effects. These quantified parameters (percentage ranges for IMP, HMR, HMI, HMP, RMP, GEN groups) provide a systematic approach that maintains formulation ease while achieving reliable and consistent activated pleasant mood enhancement across different batches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The fragrance composition uses a composite approach by combining multiple material groups (IMP, HMR, HMI, HMP, RMP, GEN) with complementary mood-enhancing properties. This composite formulation strategy achieves consistent activated pleasant mood effects by integrating diverse fragrance materials in controlled proportions, balancing reliability with manufacturing ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If complex fragrance compositions are created, then mood enhancement effectiveness is improved, but formulation precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemood enhancement effectivenessVSAvoidformulation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The complex fragrance composition is divided into six distinct material groups (IMP, HMR, HMI, HMP, RMP, GEN) with specific materials assigned to each group. This segmentation reduces formulation precision requirements by providing a structured framework where materials are categorized by function, making it easier to achieve effective activated pleasant mood enhancement without excessive complexity in the formulation process.
