Receptor-Response Control for Accurate Scent and Taste Reproduction

The patent segments the complex scent reproduction task into distinct functional modules: a receptor response information acquisition unit that obtains activation levels of individual receptors, a storage unit that stores reference data, and an emission information determination unit that processes the data. This segmentation allows each module to handle a specific aspect of the problem, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reproduction accuracy.

The patent introduces receptor response information as an intermediary that mediates between the target scent and the substance combination process. Instead of directly experimenting with numerous substance combinations, the system first obtains receptor response information, which serves as a bridge to determine the appropriate emission information. This intermediary approach significantly reduces the complexity of direct substance combination experimentation.

The patent performs preliminary action by storing receptor response information and reference data in advance in a storage unit. When a target scent needs to be reproduced, the system retrieves pre-stored data and processes it through the emission information determination unit, eliminating the need for time-consuming experimentation during actual scent reproduction. This preliminary preparation significantly improves productivity while maintaining accuracy.

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the emission information determination unit compares obtained receptor response information with stored reference data to determine appropriate emission information. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from previous data and continuously improve scent reproduction accuracy without requiring repeated physical experimentation, thereby enhancing productivity.
