Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for selecting perfume flavors online are costly, time-consuming, and limited by the availability of samples, as users cannot experience the fragrance before purchase.

Innovation Solution

A perfume dispersing device that connects to a mobile device, using a compressor to generate air pressure, which is released to select perfume holders containing different flavors, allowing the user to disperse and experience the fragrance through a network of pipes and nozzles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If physical samples of perfume are sent to users for selection, then users can experience the flavour before buying, but the process becomes costly and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser experience of perfume flavourVSAvoidsampling process time

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a digital copy/experience of the perfume through electronic delivery of perfume information to the user's device, allowing virtual sampling without physical sample distribution. This resolves the contradiction by providing flavour experience (improving information loss) through digital means that eliminate the time and cost of physical sample shipping and handling.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical sample distribution (shipping, handling, storage) with an electronic/digital system for delivering perfume information. This substitution eliminates the time-consuming and costly logistics of physical samples while preserving the user's ability to experience the perfume flavour.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If physical samples of perfume are sent to users for selection, then users can experience the flavour before buying, but the availability of samples is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser experience of perfume flavourVSAvoidavailability of perfume samples

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal electronic platform that can deliver information about multiple perfume flavours through a single device interface. Instead of being limited to distributing physical samples of a few flavours, the system can provide access to a wide variety of perfume flavours digitally, greatly enhancing sample availability and versatility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

By creating digital copies of perfume information that can be delivered electronically, the system overcomes the physical limitations of sample availability. Users can access information about numerous perfume flavours without the manufacturer needing to produce and ship physical samples of each flavour.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Quantity of substance

If perfume is provided in liquid form in containers, then it can be stored and used traditionally, but users cannot easily sample multiple flavours without committing to full bottles

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveperfume amount for samplingVSAvoidconvenience of flavour selection

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses digital copying of perfume information to create a virtual sampling experience, eliminating the need for users to handle or commit to physical quantities of perfume. Users can explore multiple flavours through electronic delivery without the constraint of having to purchase or store physical samples or full bottles.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

Enables users to efficiently and cost-effectively sample multiple perfume flavors without physical samples, allowing for informed selection and reducing the limitations of traditional sampling methods.

Implementation Method 1

generating, from a compressor of the perfume dispersing device, pressure in an air tank of the perfume dispersing device. The air tank is filled with air.

Methodology Applied

Scientific EffectCompression: Compression

Implementation Method 2

releasing, by the air tank, air pressure to the selected perfume holder. Furthermore, the method comprises dispersing, by the selected perfume holder, the flavour indicated by the input from the user.

Methodology Applied

Scientific EffectPressure-driven flow: Pressure Gradient

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a perfume dispersing device for dispersing a plurality of flavours of perfume. The perfume dispersing device comprises an input unit for receiving an input from a user indicating a selection of a flavour from a plurality of flavours of perfume. The perfume dispersing device further comprises a compressor for generating pressure in an air tank of the perfume dispersing device. The perfume dispersing device comprises a processor for selecting a perfume holder from a plurality of perfume holders included in the perfume dispersing device based on the input from the user. Each perfume holder of the plurality of perfume holders contains a specific flavour of the plurality of flavours of perfume. The air tank releases air pressure to the selected perfume holder. The perfume holder disperses the flavour indicated by the input from the user.
