Smart Fragrance Capsule Control for Portable Insect-Repellent Items
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional ornaments and portable items with fragrance-emitting capabilities lack the ability to selectively control fragrance emission and do not repel insects, posing hygiene concerns and inconvenience due to the need for manual interaction.
Innovation Solution
A portable item with a fragrance capsule system that allows for selective smart control using a smartphone, featuring a slideable fragrance capsule, a pressing part, a control part, a battery, and communication means to manage fragrance emission and repel insects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional ornaments with built-in fragrance are used, then natural fragrance emission is achieved, but selective control of fragrance emission is not possible and hygiene is compromised due to manual interaction requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical interaction with wireless communication control. The smartphone application communicates with the ornament via wireless signals (Bluetooth or similar), eliminating the need for physical button presses or mechanical switches, thus maintaining ease of operation while enabling selective control without hygiene concerns
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a control circuit as an intermediary between the user's smartphone and the fragrance emission system. This intermediary receives wireless commands, processes them, and activates the appropriate fragrance capsules, providing selective control functionality without requiring direct manual interaction with the ornament
2Reliability
If hand sanitizer is carried for hygiene, then sterilization function is provided, but inconvenience arises from needing to carry additional items and touch controls
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functions into a single ornament: fragrance emission, insect repellent functionality, and wireless control capability. This eliminates the need to carry separate hand sanitizer or insect repellent items, as the ornament provides these protective functions while maintaining hygiene through contactless operation
Solution Approach 2:
The ornament autonomously emits fragrance and repellent substances when triggered by wireless signals, without requiring manual activation. This self-service capability maintains hygiene protection while eliminating the inconvenience of manual interaction, as the user can control the ornament remotely via smartphone
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional fragrance-emitting portable items are used, then fragrance emission is achieved, but insect repellent functionality is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the fragrance and repellent storage into separate, replaceable capsules. Each capsule contains a specific substance (fragrance or repellent), and multiple capsules can be stored in the ornament. This segmentation allows versatile fragrance and functional selection while keeping the system manageable through modular, interchangeable components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables parameter changes by allowing users to swap capsules with different substances. By changing the capsule parameter (contents), the ornament can switch between different fragrances and between fragrance mode and insect repellent mode, providing adaptability without requiring a complex integrated system
