CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED REQUESTS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of the following provisional applications, each of which is thus incorporated as a reference in its entirety:
[0002] North American Provisional Application No. 61 / 981,533, filed on April 18, 2014; and North American Provisional Application No. 62 / 045,989, filed on September 4, 2014. BACKGROUND Field:
[0003] This disclosure generally refers to network perfume diffusion devices and applications thereof. Description of the related technique:
[0004] Of the five traditional senses, perfume is strongly linked to memory. We remember what we saw with little precision after a month, while we remember what we feel with good precision after a year. This phenomenon is attributed to the intimate connection between the olfactory bulb and the limbic system of the brain, often referred to as the "emotional brain".
[0005] Recognizing that the sense of smell is the most emotional of our five senses is a valuable element of brand communications and experiential marketing. Put differently, perfume is very effective in distributing complete multisensory environments, as it is the most effective way to create lasting impressions.
[0006] Leading companies in industrial sectors such as hospitality, retail, gaming, real estate, integrity care and senior citizens recognize the power of the "perfume market" and are looking for service solutions for their commercial establishments that are effective, safe and easy to use. However, the dispersion of fragrances over a wide area that is accurate, consistent and measurable has been a significant challenge for early service providers in this emerging market. Its perfume solutions provide widely varying experiences as the quality of perfume prints deteriorates over time in changing environments.
[0007] Some current perfume dispersion technologies provide stand-alone solutions that are managed locally by local employees or local subcontractors. Since this fragrance dispersed by these commercial perfume devices is manually defined and generally changed over time, it is extremely difficult to guarantee a consistent level of fragrance within brand standards across locations. Common perfume dispersion problems include malfunction of dispensers, incorrect dispenser settings and device handling, as well as perfume "blindness" that occurs when employees working within a perfumed location become sensitive to a fragrance, causing them to become fragile. to make unwarranted unwarranted changes to the manual settings.
[0008] Given a wide variability of conditions by all local companies, it is very difficult to predict precisely the replacement dates for perfume "refill cartridges" (elements generally used to contain perfume oils or other sources of fragrances in dispersion systems ). As a result, there are many spaces without fragrance dispersion when cartridges run empty, while other spaces experience wasted perfume oil, increased costs and disposal problems when cartridges are replaced prematurely.
[0009] Consequently, current perfume solutions deployed in commercial companies in various locations make it difficult for corporate brand executives, managers of local companies and maintenance personnel to establish and maintain an "acceptable" or "approved" perfume concentration for all their employees. locations. Their inability to properly control the olfactory part of the brand identity is a constant source of frustration, as on-site research indicates that a significant fraction of locations on any given day is not delivering the brand's desired sensory experience.
[0010] There remains a need for a perfume management system to provide a wide area dispersion of a fragrance according to a desired fragrance profile in a consistent, accurate and controllable manner via a remote or local network. SUMMARY
[0011] Among other things, the present disclosure addresses this local "compliance" and brand management issues, allowing for centralized and effective management of remotely deployed perfume systems, including, without limitation, using controlled microprocessors and networked devices. that deliver data streams to a centralized network operations center (or NOC), which can be supported by experienced operators using enterprise-class software. Through this managed service and with the help of accurate local tools and enabled components, commercial companies can guarantee a precise, wide-area fragrance delivery that is consistent with brand standards over time and across locations. A wide variety of enabled components and technologies are revealed here for this perfume management system.
[0012] In one embodiment, there may be an electrical contact that may need to be made between the package and the device when the package is installed. An electrical resource on the packaging may come in contact with an electrical resource on the device. If contact is made, the contents of the package can be distributed. If contact is not made, the contents of the package may not be distributed and an alert may be sent over the network.
[0013] In one aspect, the perfume cartridge is a networked perfume diffusion device may include a reservoir that holds a liquid and an atomizer head assembly and an anti-manipulation identifier associated with at least one of the reservoir and the perfume set. atomizer head, in which the diffusion of perfume from the device is based on a state of the anti-manipulation identifier. If the perfume diffusion device does not recognize the anti-manipulation identifier, an alert can be sent over a network and perfume may not be distributed. If the cartridge is removed from the device, resulting in the device no longer recognizing the anti-manipulation identifier, an alert is sent over a network. The state of the anti-manipulation identifier is changed based on the proximity of the device on the broadcast network to a specific network zone. In some embodiments, the atomizer head assembly includes an orifice plate containing a flow restriction orifice for passing compressed gas to be mixed with liquid before passing through an atomizing orifice. The anti-manipulation identifier can be mechanical like a DIP switch, or the like. The anti-manipulation identifier can be electronic, such as an RFID, bar code / QSR and the like. The anti-manipulation identifier can be an opening of a network zone of the network perfume diffusion device. The anti-manipulation identifier can be an error or an unexpected reading from a liquid level sensor in the network perfume diffusion device. The anti-manipulation identifier can be a disconnection of an electrical contact disposed in at least one of the reservoir and the atomizer head assembly of the network perfume diffusion device.

An expansion chamber can be in fluid communication with the atomization orifice and a deflector chamber, the deflector chamber having an outlet to a surrounding environment. A gas flowing into the gas inlet passage through the flow restriction orifice generates a relatively low pressure region in the mixing chamber that causes liquid from the reservoir to be drawn into the mixing chamber through the tube where it joins the passage of the gas flow outside the restrictor orifice which creates a mixture of gas and liquid which then becomes atomized when it passes through the atomization orifice. The liquid reservoir may have a substantially cup-shaped geometry.

[0066] In one aspect, the perfume management system provides companies with a managed service for delivering fragrance over a wide precise area targeted at the use of perfume to deliver memorable brand impressions and exceptional customer experiences. Through the construction of intelligence to the equipment implanted in the premises of customers and through the management of the equipment using a global network and a centralized set of software applications, the perfume management system provides unprecedented quality and control of a perfume service managed remotely for customers and ensures that perfume management services are effective, reliable and consistent. Such a perfume management system is capable of guaranteeing a defined level of quality based on the intelligence built into the system, from the diffuser device to the centrally managed network operations center (NOC), which monitors the performance of the device by all customers and by all devices for each customer. The perfume management system is capable of delivering identical perfume prints to all locations, if desired, through the measured fragrance emitted and measured in space for precise concentration. The perfume management system provides a managed perfume service that delivers a consistent brand impression through the precise and dynamic control of a network of perfume diffusion devices in a local or remote way. Perfume management system features, such as bidirectional communication with perfume diffusion network devices to receive data from the devices and to control the devices remotely, coupled with device resources, including sensors and / or programming to switch between the installed packages of fragrance, allows the perfume management system to be implemented as part of multiple service offerings, including self-service models and full service operation. In a self-service model, users can select settings for devices and receive referrals for replacement, such as through a customer application. In a full-service model, configurations can be selected and modified by the NOC not just for one location, but for many locations as needed to adapt to brand management goals, replenishment alerts can go to the NOC who is then responsible for managing the replenishment and the like. Communication with the NOC makes it possible for users to trust that the devices in a space are operating as desired without having to be interactive with the devices or with a control application for the device. Certainly, the flexibility of the perfume management system allows users (such as non-NOC staff) to use control applications to monitor and control perfume diffusion devices, as desired. The system allows for intelligent deterministic delegation of functions, authorities and permissions across the diffuser network to preserve the integrity of the brand. Users can control roles, authorities, and permissions by a hierarchical organization (for example, branch / corporate, franchise, location) to allow control of the broadcasting device at a local level, such as at a local level, or at a corporate level and similar.
[0067] The perfume management system can be useful not only for perfume brand and delivery of consistent perfume prints, but also for odor mitigation, odor neutralization, product disclosure, aroma therapy / stress reduction and the like. Other functional benefits will be described here.
[0068] The perfume management system may include one or more diffusion devices. Each broadcast device can contain a processor, such as a microcontroller, capable of reporting information (telemetry data) on the status of the broadcaster over the Internet to one or more cloud-based business applications. The microcontroller may be able to control the units autonomously, based on the control instructions sent by the business applications. Business applications store historical data about broadcast devices, which allows reporting on that data and data mining in order to improve perfume management services. A NOC can be used to monitor the health of the end user's broadcast devices and can react to alerts by tuning by defining the broadcast devices, or creating a work order (for example, rolling a truck, sending a contact's email) on-site, etc.) in order to resolve a service issue or replacement issue. Alternatively, devices can be self-service, not managed NOC. In the modalities, the devices in the diffusion network form part of an Internet of Things.
[0069] In one embodiment, the perfume management system may include: a diffusion device with built-in intelligence enabled by a built-in microcontroller module, plus communication capabilities allowed by wide area network and local wireless communication modules; and diffusion device network configurations that support intelligent fragrance dispersion management, locally within a fragrance environment, or remotely by one or more composite distributed centralized network (NOCs) operations center (NOCs) by perfume system administrators. The perfume management system includes business processes enabled by the diffusion devices, implemented within defined perfume dispersion network configurations. Throughout this specification, the terms "perfume device", "perfume dispersion device", "diffuser device", "diffuser", "perfume diffusion device", or "perfume diffuser device" can be used interchangeable with each other and with the term "diffusion device", except where the context indicates otherwise. It should be understood that the use of perfumed liquids in the diffusion device is exemplary of one of the types of liquids that can be used in the perfume management system. In addition, the neutralization of liquid perfumes, disinfectants, purifiers or other liquids can still be used in diffusion devices. Throughout this specification, the terms "cartridge", "packaging" and "reservoir" are used interchangeably with each other, except where the context indicates otherwise. Various aspects of the perfume management system are described here. Still, it must be understood that the devices can work to dispense any liquid, as in a colloidal mixture of gas or steam. Figure 1 represents an exemplary architecture 100 for a perfume management system. In this embodiment, a master broadcast device 102 is in communication with one or more slave broadcast devices 104 and a server 108, such as a cloud server that runs on cloud-based business applications. In this mode, device 102 communicates with server 108 to receive control instructions, system updates and the like and to transmit telemetry and similar data to a NOC 118. Communication can be over a cellular connection. Devices 102, 104 can be communicating with environmental sensors, or have sensors on board 110. NOC 114 user devices can communicate through server 108 with devices 102, 104. A client control device 120 can be used to control devices 102, 104 through server 108. A user interface of the advertiser network 112 can be in communication with server 108.
[0070] In one embodiment, the perfume diffusion device may include a removable repository based on the fragrance oil cartridge or other liquid to be diffused and a diffuser that atomizes fragrance oil into particles to deliver controllable concentration levels and directed from the fragrance oil or liquid. The particles can be variably sized, such as micro droplets, or large or small aerosol particles. In the modalities, the diffuser results in minimum particle precipitation. The diffuser includes at least one of a micro-droplet generator, an atomizer, a nebulizer, a vaporizer, an evaporative wick, a saturated solid and the like.
[0071] In one embodiment, the perfume diffusion device may include a medium cartridge of solid perfume that heats energy, such as that of a coil, lamp, candle, fan with heat, convective heat source or the like, to heat the medium of perfume in the cartridge, while a fan blows through the medium to distribute the fragrance. Controlling fragrance diffusion remotely may involve controlling at least one of the fans or the heat source.
[0072] In modalities, such as where a perfume diffusion device can include a wick or other fixed or solid medium, the diffusion efficiency / rate or the wick efficiency / rate can be adjusted over time or periodically, as per adjustment of an aspect or parameter of the operation of a fan. For example, the amount of liquid available for diffusion may decrease over time as the device operates. In some embodiments, the amount of liquid in the device may decrease at a predictable rate, such as an exponential rate that can be predicted based on a model, such as a physical or chemical model. As the amount of liquid available decreases in the device, it may become more difficult to induce diffusion of the remaining liquid from the device. This may be due in part to changes in an aspect or parameter of a fixed medium that is used to assist diffusion over time. For example, a wick can dry, a cake of solid fragrance can dehydrate or the like. To control a parameter of a device that is used to promote diffusion, such as a fan speed, adjustments can be made to address changes in diffusion characteristics. For example, the speed of the fan in the diffusion device through its operation can be adjusted so that it is slower when a new liquid cartridge or other fixed medium is placed in the device and as a result, the wick or other fixed medium can dry more slowly. . Then, as the device operates and the characteristics of the wick or other solid medium change, the fan can be accelerated to obtain a relatively consistent level of diffusion of the liquid from the cartridge or other fixed medium. In some embodiments, the operation of the fan may approximate an elliptical curve, an exponential curve, or other suitable function to obtain a continuous level of diffusion of the liquid. In modalities, such as where the liquid is a fragrance oil, controlling the fan to obtain a continuous level of diffusion of the fragrance oil can result in a substantially stable intensity of the fragrance over time.
[0073] In one embodiment, a piezoelectric device can be used in the perfume diffusion device to cause a vibration in the packaging, such as through surface ultrasonic wave effects, or through the use of a microscopically perforated vibrating mesh (VMT). Such vibration can cause an oscillatory movement and pressure in the liquid inside the package and cause the liquid to atomize. The piezoelectric device can be remotely managed to control the level of fragrances.
[0074] Other devices can be used in the perfume diffusion system, such as those including atomizers with hydraulic spray nozzles, liquid-liquid collision atomizers, air-liquid collision atomizers, air jet atomizers, pre-laminated atomizers, high voltage electro-spray and the like.
[0075] The diffusion device can also include a pump, to enable the Venturi effect or, otherwise, drain the liquid from inside the package to enable diffusion, with a controllable task cycle. The diffusion device may include a fan that assists in the distribution of the particles. The fan can be very noisy, such as using a low-noise fan or with noise-canceling technology. The diffusion device enables uniform dispersion of vaporized fragrance oil through an environment using dispersion technologies that require minimal heating. Such technologies allow the integrity of the fragrance to be maintained over time.
[0076] In some embodiments, the pump can be a conventional air pump or air pump controlled by speed. With a conventional air pump, the amount of perfume release can be controlled using a task cycle, such as a "on" task cycle for 2 minutes and "off" for 4 minutes. minutes to provide a 33% duty cycle. Given the ability to remotely control the operation of the pump on devices in a perfume diffusion network, the voltage that drives the pump can be increased or decreased remotely, as in a range of approximately +/- 20% of a 10V standard, or from 8 V to 12 V. Controlling the voltage that guides the pump allows remote control of the diffusion rate of the device, regardless of the voltage range and independent of the task cycle. In a given task cycle, the result can be mitigated or increased simply by changing the pump voltage. For example, for multiple diffusers implanted in an environment, assuming that all diffusers are configured with the same task cycle, the voltage that guides the diffusers implanted in smaller spaces of the environment can be lowered to attenuate the result while the voltage that guides the diffusers. diffusers implanted in larger spaces of the environment can be elevated to increase the result. In this example, a task cycle including a 1 minute "on" part in a low speed setting can produce X micrograms per hour, while the same part of the "on" task cycle for 1 minute in a high speed setting can produce 3X micrograms per hour. Pump tension control allows volumetric control of the device running on a continuous or approximately continuous basis.
[0077] Now with reference to figure 22, a modality of a diffusion device is depicted. In this view, housing 2202 contains a pump set 2204 that pumps the liquid out of the reservoir (s) through tubes coupled to the pump and mounted in 2212 fittings. One or more valves, such as solenoid valves 2208, 2210, are placed in line on the tubes to turn pumping on and off.
[0078] The diffusion device can include a programmable microcontroller module with a memory (fixed or removable) to control the functionalities of the device, such as volume control, task cycle, programmed configurations and the like. The broadcast device may include a wireless LAN module capable of communicating with other devices within a physical location via radio frequency communications including IEEE standards (such as, WiFi, Zigbee, Bluetooth, etc.). communications that can be used by the diffusion device include one or more of Zigbee, MiFi, MiWi, DMX, ANT, Z-Wave, Insteon, JenNet-IP, X10, mesh network, visible light, ultrasound, infrared light, IP version 6 , such as IPv6 for Low Energy Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) and the Neighborhood Change protocol. The diffusion device can form a machine-to-machine network. The broadcast device may include a removable wireless wide area network (WWAN) module capable of electronic communications with one or more remote Network Operations Center (s) via, for example, a cellular telecommunications network . Reference to a "Network Operations Center" or "NOC" through this disclosure must be understood to encompass a single centralized center, or a set of multiple distributed centers. In the embodiments, the diffusion device may include communications technology for wired installations. Telemetry data as a fragrance level reset alert can be sent over the communications network. The device's firmware can be updated over the network.
[0079] In one embodiment, on the device's motherboard, connectors can be adapted to configure the communications module promptly or to render the communications module modular, such that it can be exchanged and destroyed promptly. For example, the device can be manufactured such that a distributor, dealer, customer or other location, a communications module can be installed or exchanged. For example, the device may be shipped from the manufacturer to the distributor with a cellular communications module installed, but upon receipt, a need for devices with enabled WiFi and Bluetooth may emerge. The distributor may be able to open the devices and exchange the cellular communications module for the module enabled by WiFi and / or enabled by Bluetooth. In some examples, the device may be able to accommodate a plurality of communication protocols such that in this example, the distributor only needs to add the WiFi and Bluetooth modules to the existing cellular module. In other modalities, the communications module can be incorporated with the firmware, such that capacities can be modified by a firmware update, such as those made by a cellular network through a cellular network communications protocol, the Internet or another network with IP-based or similar. In the modalities, the communications module can be incorporated or can use a field programmable logic gate (FGPA), such that it can be reprogrammed in the field to meet the change requirements.
[0080] The diffusion device can have an easy "plug and play" for installation, with AC or DC power, autoconfiguration and "check-in" (verification) of NOC. In general, the diffusion device can be light in weight as 5 pounds per device such that it can be suspended in a fixture on the strip or wall.
[0081] The diffusion device may include a manual programming interface (for example, user interface, screen, button, dial, cursor, touchpad, keyboard or similar) that allows an individual to manually establish and confirm the device settings. In the embodiments, the broadcasting device includes a signal that alerts a user to a state of the device. The state can be related to a detected liquid level. The signal can be at least one of a 1028 light, a color indicator, a message on a text screen, a sound and the like.
[0082] In one embodiment, a perfume diffusion device can include a processor that monitors the perfume diffusion device and generates a status and a user interface that provides an alert based on the status, in which the alert triggers an event . The status can be an obstruction and the event can be the maintenance schedule. The status may be a need for replenishment and the event can be at least one of the replenishment schedules and additional perfume order. The status can be manipulation and the event can be turning off the device. The status can be at least one of an obstruction, a need for replacement, a manipulation, an overheating, a loss of energy, an operating error and a damage. The alert can be at least one of a 1028 light, a color indicator, a message, a pop-up, a sound, an email, a text message and an SMS / MMS.
[0083] In one embodiment, one form of the device can operate as a point of use perfume distributor, installed within fragrance target areas. In one embodiment, another form of the diffusion device can be integrated into the heating / ventilation / air conditioning system of a location, with fragrance dispersion occurring through an HVAC duct or other ventilation system.
[0084] In one embodiment, the diffusion device can be incorporated in the form factor of a flameless LED candle.
[0085] In one embodiment, the diffusion device may include an inviolable closure. The tamperproof closure can be at least one of a physical key, a software-based key, a biometric key, a retinal scanner and the like. Physical features of the packaging can also make handling difficult, as by including at least one of a sonic weld, a weld by rotation, a bayonet lock and the like. On-board sensors can also function as an anti-manipulation mechanism if contact with the sensors is lost while the energy is still detected or used by the device.
[0086] The packaging for the diffusion device may include physical anti-manipulation features that prevent the packaging from operating properly on a device not configured to accept the packaging. For example, the package may include an RFID 1208 tag for identification and the RFID tag must be read correctly or the diffusion device will not work. The reading of the RFID tag can be done on board the device by an integrated RFID reader or it can be done with a separate RFID reader, such as when installing the packaging or during a routine inspection. In another example, the package may include another identification tag, such as a barcode 1204 or QR code 1202, which can be mirrored by on-board image reproduction or a separate image reproduction. Images can be transmitted to the NOC for review and approval or storage. In one embodiment, there may be an electrical contact that may need to be made between the package and the device when a package is installed. An electrical resource (not shown) in a package can contact an electrical resource (not shown) in the device, or corresponding mechanical resources (not shown) can be arranged in the package and device. If contact is made, the contents of the package can be distributed. If contact is not made, the package contents cannot be distributed and an alert can be sent over the network.
[0087] An alert can be sent over the network if the packaging is removed first (for example, a liquid level sensor indicates sufficient remaining liquid), removed despite general instructions (for example, removed without a service order, removed by someone who is not a technician) and the like.
[0088] In one aspect, a perfume cartridge for a networked perfume diffusion device may include a reservoir containing a liquid and an atomizer head assembly, in which the atomizer head assembly includes an orifice plate containing a flow restriction orifice for the passage of compressed gas to mix with liquid before passing through an atomization orifice and an anti-manipulation identifier associated with at least one of the reservoir and atomizer head assembly, in which the diffusion of perfume from the device is based on the condition of the anti-manipulation identifier. When the perfume diffusion device does not recognize the anti-manipulation identifier, an alert can be sent over the network and the perfume cannot be distributed. If the cartridge is removed from the device based on the device that no longer recognizes the anti-manipulation identifier, an alert is sent over the network.
[0089] In one aspect, a perfume cartridge for a networked perfume diffusion device may include a reservoir containing a liquid and an atomizer head assembly, wherein the atomizer head assembly includes an orifice plate containing a flow restriction orifice for the passage of the compressed gas to be mixed with liquid before passing through an atomization orifice and an RFID tag associated with at least one of the reservoir and the atomizer head assembly, in which when a reader RFID operationally connected to the perfume diffusion device recognizes an RFID tag, the perfume is distributed from the cartridge.

When the perfume diffusion device does not recognize the anti-manipulation identifier, an alert can be sent over the network and the perfume cannot be distributed. If the cartridge is removed from the device based on the device that no longer recognizes the anti-manipulation identifier, an alert can be sent over the network. The atomizer head assembly may include an orifice plate containing a flow restriction orifice for passage of the compressed gas to be mixed with liquid prior to passage through an atomization orifice.
[0092] In one embodiment, a perfume cartridge for a network perfume diffusion device may include a reservoir that contains a liquid and an atomizer head assembly and an electrical contact disposed in at least one of the reservoir and the perfume set. atomizer head, in which when the electrical contact of the perfume cartridge makes contact with a corresponding electrical contact of the perfume diffusion device, the perfume is distributed from the cartridge. When the perfume diffusion device does not recognize the anti-manipulation identifier, an alert can be sent over the network and the perfume cannot be distributed. If the cartridge is removed from the device based on the device that no longer recognizes the anti-manipulation identifier, an alert can be sent over the network. The atomizer head assembly may include an orifice plate containing a flow restriction orifice for passage of compressed gas to be mixed with liquid prior to passage through an atomization orifice.
[0093] In one embodiment, a method for attaching perfume diffusion network devices may include associating an anti-manipulation identifier with a reservoir and atomizer head assembly of a network perfume diffusion device 2102, determining whether the anti-manipulation identifier is present in the reservoir or head set of atomizer 2104, block the diffusion if the anti-manipulation identifier is absent and is communicating the absence of the anti-manipulation identifier to other devices in the 2108 perfume diffusion network. to attach perfume diffusion network devices may include associating an anti-manipulation identifier with a reservoir of a network perfume diffusion device, determining if the anti-manipulation identifier is present in the reservoir, blocking the diffusion if the anti-manipulation identifier is missing and communicating the absence of the anti identifier handling for other perfume diffusion network devices.
[0094] In one embodiment, a diffusion device for atomizing liquids may include at least two reservoirs containing a liquid, a liquid level sensor disposed in the device, an anti-manipulation identifier associated with at least one of the reservoirs and a switch and a processor, operatively coupled to the liquid level sensor, to generate a first signal indicated of the liquid level, a second signal indicating the presence of the anti-manipulation identifier and a control instruction for the switch based on the first and second signals for causing the device to switch from using a reservoir in the atomizing diffusion device to using a different reservoir in the atomizing diffusing device.
[0095] In one embodiment, a method for operating networked perfume diffusion devices in an environment to achieve a perfume printing goal may include receiving an indication on a networked perfume diffusion device that the diffusion of one or more other devices in the perfume diffusion network is blocked due to an indication of manipulation 2002, access a model from the environment to the environment, where the model includes one or more devices in the perfume diffusion network 2004 and program a diffusion profile of perfume for the environment to be executed by one or more of the remaining unblocked devices in a perfume diffusion network to achieve the perfume printing goal 2008. In certain embodiments, the model includes two or more devices in a perfume diffusion network .
[0096] In one embodiment, an atomizing diffusion device may include at least two packages with liquid disposed in the diffusion device, an anti-manipulation identifier associated with at least one of the packages and a processor, operatively coupled to the diffusion device of perfume, which determines an indication of manipulation based on the anti-manipulation identifier and causes an exchange between packages based on the indication of manipulation.
[0097] In one embodiment, the diffusion device may include a chemical sensor in fluid communication with a package to detect the presence of a specific component in a liquid, such as an arrangement within a package. The specific component can be a tracker or label molecule placed in a package, so that when the label or tracker is detected, a package is authenticated. On the other hand, if the tag or tracker is missing, a package can be identified as potentially fraudulent. In the modalities the chemical sensor can be arranged outside the packaging, but it can be in fluid communication with the contents of the packaging to test the liquid in the packaging to determine the presence or absence of the specific label or tracking component. If the chemical sensor detects the specific component and therefore authenticates a package, the device can proceed to operate to diffuse the liquid as described here. If the specific component is not detected, several actions can be taken. For example, a visual or auditory signal can be generated, such as a flashing light (for example, an LED) or a beep sound or any other visual, auditory, tactile alert for the sensor that would alert a user or observer of a potential problem , such as alerts of various types known to those skilled in the art. Such a sign may indicate the absence of a specific component, which may occur due to handling, incorrect packaging, worn packaging, an error or the like. In other modalities, the signal takes the form of a message, alert or communication that is transmitted over a network, such as to a central location, an individual, a manager, a computer, a mobile device and the like. In certain embodiments, the chemical sensor can test the air for a specific component and when the component is not present in the air, the sensor can send an instruction over the network to the diffusion device to stop the operation.
[0098] In the modalities, a package can be incorporated in a cartridge, a reservoir, a bag, a balloon, a membrane and the like. Referring to Figure 4, a cartridge for a perfume management system includes a liquid reservoir 404 and an atomizer head assembly 402, wherein the liquid reservoir is positioned below the atomizer head. The liquid reservoir has a substantially cup-shaped geometry and its upper margin is joined to the atomizer head assembly, as by an ultrasonic weld, a twist lock with an O-ring seal, or the like. A conduit or tube 408 for transporting the liquid in the reservoir is attached to the atomizer head at its first end and the second end of the tube extends to the liquid 410 inside the reservoir, preferably extending below the surface of the liquid to maximize the volume total amount of liquid drained from inside the reservoir while the liquid from inside the cartridge is emptied. There may be some condensation, but mainly the excess liquid remains in the state and returns to the reservoir.
[0099] The atomizer head may have a gas (for example, air) inlet passage 412 having an end in fluid communication with a compressed air source. The second end of the gas inlet passage may be in fluid communication with an orifice plate 418 containing a flow restriction orifice 420. In certain embodiments, a Venturi may be used in place of an orifice plate. The orifice plate separates the gas inlet passage from a mixing chamber 422. The mixing chamber may have a wall opposite the orifice plate, the opposite wall having an atomizing orifice 422. Another wall of the mixing chamber may have an opening 424 in fluid communication with the tube. The atomizing orifice may be in fluid communication with an expansion chamber 428. The expansion chamber may be in fluid communication with a deflector chamber 430. The deflector chamber may have an outlet 432 to the surrounding environment to be treated with the atomized liquid.
[00100] The operation of the atomizer head can be as follows: compressed gas flows into the gas inlet passage, through the flow restriction orifice of the orifice plate and into the mixing chamber. This creates a region of relatively high pressure on the side of the gas inlet passage of the restrictor orifice and the rate of escape of gas out of the orifice increases and generates a relatively low pressure region on the side of the mixing chamber of the restrictor orifice. The relatively low pressure drains the liquid from the reservoir into the mixing chamber through the tube and the liquid joins the flow of gas out of the restrictor orifice creating a mixture of gas and liquid. The liquid gas mixture then passes through the atomization orifice to the expansion chamber, creating a mixture of liquid and gas. The atomized mixture of liquid and gas flows into the deflector chamber and the atomized liquid and gas flow through the outlet into the surrounding environment to be treated.
[00101] As the atomized mixture of liquid and gas flow through the expansion chamber and deflector chamber, it collides on the surfaces of the chambers and walls that separate the chambers. This results in the removal of a substantial part of the larger particles of the atomized liquid from the mixture of atomized liquid and gas. The larger particles condense back to liquid and flow into the reservoir through a drainage hole in the partition between the expansion chamber and the reservoir. In addition, any liquid that is not completely atomized after the passage of gas and liquid through the atomization orifice, returns to the reservoir through the drainage orifice. The deflector chamber also acts as a sound level suppressor, muffling the sound of the flow of gas and atomized liquid through the atomizer head assembly. The cartridge is inserted into a diffusion device, with the compressed gas inlet fitting coupled to an air fitting 414 to supply the compressed gas supply to the cartridge.
[00102] The packaging can be used in the diffusion devices described here, but also in other perfume diffusion devices, such as devices that plug into a wall outlet.
[00103] In one aspect, a package for use with a perfume diffusion device may include a reservoir containing a liquid and an atomizer head assembly, in which the reservoir is attached to the atomizer head assembly at an upper margin of the reservoir and a tube for transporting the liquid in the reservoir, where the tube is attached to the atomizer head assembly at a first end while a second end of the tube extends below the surface of the liquid. The gas inlet passage of the atomizer head assembly may have one end in fluid communication with a source of compressed air and a second end of the gas inlet passage in fluid communication with an orifice plate comprising a flow restriction orifice . The mixing chamber of the atomizer head assembly can be separated from the gas inlet passage through the orifice plate, the mixing chamber having a first wall opposite the orifice plate comprising an atomizing orifice, and a second wall comprising an opening in fluid communication with the tube. An expansion chamber can be in fluid communication with the atomization orifice and a deflector chamber, the deflector chamber having an outlet to a surrounding environment. A gas flowing into the gas inlet passage through the flow restriction orifice generates a relatively low pressure region in the mixing chamber that causes liquid from the reservoir to drain into the mixing chamber through the tube where it joins the passage of the gas flow out of the restrictor orifice creating a mixture of gas and liquid which then becomes atomized when it passes through the atomization orifice. The liquid reservoir may have a substantially cup-shaped geometry. The top edge of the reservoir can be joined to the atomizer head assembly by an ultrasonic weld and a twist lock with an O-ring seal.
[00104] In the modalities, certain diffusion devices may be able to disperse multiple fragrances or other liquids. In embodiments, the networked perfume diffusion device may include the ability to accept multiple packages (also known as cartridges or reservoirs) for operation in multiple configurations. The diffusion device may be able to accept a plurality of packages, as larger than one package. In one example, the diffusion device has two packages. When a package is empty or close to empty, the diffusion device can switch to the diffusion of the second package. In another example, the diffusion device can accept four packages, where two packages contain a first perfume and the other two packages contain a second perfume, so that both the first perfume and the second perfume each have reserve packages and the delivery device. diffusion can automatically switch to a new package when one becomes empty or is close to emptying. In the modalities, the volume of liquid combined in the packages installed in the device can be greater than a percentage of the expected use in a replacement service cycle. For example, the volume of combined liquid may be greater than 50% of the expected use in a service cycle. The exchange between packages can be made by detecting when a package is empty or close to emptying or it can be done on some other basis, such as after a while, if it is day or night, in detecting a condition, after detecting a user and the like. An exchange system is described elsewhere in this document.
[00105] In another example, the diffusion device can operate with multiple fragrance packages and each package can accommodate a different note from a fragrance chord, where the diffusion device can be programmed to mix the notes to form a chord of the fragrance. fragrance. In the modalities, the fragrance chord can be a particular combination of "base", "medium" and / or "high" notes. The fragrance chord can be specified by a brand / press campaign specification.
[00106] To keep the fragrance consistent in an environment where the fragrance oil in a reservoir may experience some evaporation or emptying, certain methods can be employed. Fragrance oil is a mixture of many liquids, each with different partial pressures. When using atomization, components with higher vapor pressures will dry out earlier and the heavier components will be recycled back to the oil reservoir. The net effect is that as the fragrance oil empties the fragrance chord, or resulting fragrance, it will really change. One method to potentially influence this effect is to alternate the diffuser device's duty cycle (for example, increasing the t in the duty cycle) as the oil level empties. Knowing the liquid level, either through sensors, direct measurement or estimation, allows applying the correction factor, t, to preserve the fragrance chord. Another method may involve leveling a second cartridge. In this scenario, if the main cartridge is partially emptied, adding a small amount of the fragrance oil contained in the second cartridge will add top notes back to the fragrance chord.
[00107] In one embodiment, as the perfume oil is emptied over time in a diffuser packaging with a perfume oil recycling feature, the average size of the molecules in the remaining perfume oil increases. A statistical explanation is that larger perfume oil molecules are more likely to fall back into a package through the recycling feature during atomization. This change in the average molecular size can affect the performance of the diffuser and can result in a lower rate of perfume diffusion for a fixed configuration task cycle. A process for adjusting the diffuser device's duty cycle to compensate for this change in average molecular size and reduced diffusion rate may include increasing the duty cycle, pump pressure, or other diffuser configuration that affects the diffusion rate. In one embodiment, a diffusion device liquid level sensor can determine the level of liquid remaining in a package and a diffusion device processor can use the detected liquid level to modify a diffuser configuration as described here to maintain a desired perfume diffusion rate, a perfume target value, or a brand management goal. One method may include receiving a level of liquid detected in a perfume diffuser package, in which un-atomized perfume oil is recycled back into a package during the operation of the device and adjusting the diffusion device's duty cycle. to maintain a rate of diffusion of perfume. The adjustment can include at least one of increasing the duty cycle, increasing the pump pressure and changing a diffuser configuration.
[00108] In another example, the diffusion device may be able to accept multiple packages and the exchange between packages is made according to a time, such as to deliver a fragrance by day and one by night. In yet another example, the diffusion device is capable of accepting a plurality of packages, where one package includes a neutralizing perfume and one or more other packages include a fragrance, as the diffusing device can switch to the perfume neutralizer as needed or between the dispersion of different fragrances. In yet another example, the diffusion device can accommodate multiple packages and the desired package can be selected remotely. For example, when a guest arrives in a hotel lobby, he can choose a particular fragrance to diffuse in his hotel room. Fragrance diffusion can be activated remotely. Continuing the example, the guest can choose the fragrance in advance on the reservation or a time before arrival, such that the fragrance is activated when the room becomes available to the guest, when the guest checks in, when the guest enters the room and is detected by an occupancy sensor or Bluetooth / WiFi sensor or similar. In yet another example, the diffusion device can accommodate multiple packages and the liquids in the packages can be mixed before diffusion.
[00109] In yet another example, one of the packages can be a diluent to reconstitute a concentrated fragrance oil and the mixture can be made at the level of the diffuser. The blend can be programmed to produce a perfume concentration factor specified by a brand / press campaign specification. In this example, a plurality of concentrated fragrances may be available on the diffusion device (such as on a carousel) and one or more of the plurality of fragrances may be selected for diffusion.
[00110] In another example, the diffusion device can accept a single use of fragrance packaging, either in addition to an existing dual packaging configuration or instead, for example, it can be offered to a guest at a hotel many times single-use fragrance packages for selection in a lobby that they can install themselves on the diffusion device. In yet another example, the perfume in a package can be supplied by a crystal, a powder, or another non-liquid element that is reconstituted or diluted before diffusion.
[00111] In the modalities, the fragrance used by the diffusion devices can associate the perfumes to be used in the passive perfume device, such as candles, pies or gels. The fragrance can be delivered as an oil or as a solid, as a solid crystal.
[00112] The exchange between packages can be done using an automated exchange system. An automated exchange system for a networked perfume diffusion device that houses a plurality of fragrance packages enables an exchange between packages when meeting a condition. For example, the condition may be the determination that a fragrance level in a package is low. In another example, the exchange can be made after a time has elapsed in a programmed exchange to mitigate the desensitization of the perfume. In the modalities, the device can use a FIFO reset process.
[00113] In the modalities, the exchange system employs a valve. In the modalities, the exchange system employs a liquid level sensor, such as an electric one (for example, conductive transmitters, capacitive to measure the cumulative capacitance which is a function of the quantity of liquid and is based on the dielectric, resistive constant of the liquid ), magnetic (for example, Hall effect sensor or Hall effect switch), mechanical (for example, fluctuation of liquid level that triggers a switch, physical switch, voltage meter), optical (for example, image, liquid level fluctuation plus image reproduction sensor) liquid level sensor, hydrostatic sensors (eg displacers, bubblers, differential pressure transmitter) to measure liquid pressure, load cells to measure the mass in the package , electromagnetic transceivers that transmit an EM signal on the surface of the liquid that reflects back to its receiver with a time delay that is used to calculate the liquid level (EM can be ultrasonic, laser, radar, etc. depending on the wavelength of the EM signal that is sent and received), or any other liquid level sensor. In one embodiment, the liquid level sensor can include a floating magnet arranged within a range within a package, in which as the level of liquid changes, the floating magnet moves within the range. At least one Hall effect sensor or Hall effect switch is arranged out of the box, in which the Hall effect sensor or Hall effect switch is arranged in such a way to detect the position of the magnet. In one embodiment, when a particular position of the magnet is detected, which can correspond to a predetermined liquid level, a switch can be activated causing a movement from a first state of the switch to a second state of the switch. The switch can be used to switch the device from using a diffusion pack to using another pack. For example, the switch can be a solenoid switch between packages. In another embodiment, the liquid level sensor data can be used to monitor liquid levels within one or more packages in the diffusion device and predict when a package (s) will be emptied of liquid. This prediction can be used when programming replacement services so that the diffusion device never runs out of liquid. The NOC, a local controller, an output device, or any of the devices can perform a calculation of supply days using an algorithm as part of a predictive model to determine when the packages in a device will be emptied. The algorithm can use the current liquid level measured and divide by the average utilization rate per day to determine a number of days of supply remaining. The average usage rate per day can be set for any desired period of time. The result of the calculation can be used to schedule an event, such as replacing just-in-time packaging, sending a replacement technician, or transmitting an alert / email to the team on site. The calculation of supply days can also be done using an estimated liquid level instead of the measured liquid level, where the estimate can be determined based on a task cycle used by the device, optionally in combination with another history or data relating to the operation of the device. The calculation of supply days can also use information such as the duration of operation, use of compressed gas and the like in place of the measured liquid level to estimate the amount of liquid remaining. In one embodiment, the liquid level sensor for a networked perfume diffusion device provides fragrance levels in real time and causes an alert or signal to be generated when the liquid level sensor reading indicates a need for replacement of a package, when an unexpected reading is obtained and the like. In response to receiving the unexpected reading, a control instruction can be sent to the device to turn it off or, otherwise, to stop broadcasting operations. If the reading is higher than expected, which may suggest an obstruction, a control instruction can be sent to the device to exchange for new packaging. Alerts or signals in this example and through this specification can be one or more visual, audio, electronic (for example, SMS / MMS, text, email, pop-up, etc.) and the like. Throughout this descriptive report, alerts can be sent asynchronously when the device reports an event, or if a device stops reporting to the NOC for a predetermined period. Throughout this descriptive report, an alert can be triggered whenever a device goes from a non-alert to an alert state. If two of the same alerts are reported at once, the second alert will not cause the device to trigger a new alert again - instead, it will consider the alarm still set. Audio alerts can be transmitted through a speaker of the broadcasting device. Visual alerts can be transmitted via the device's LED lights, or the like. In another example, based on the data in the task cycle and the SCF, a predictive algorithm can be used to estimate the actual liquid level. A single sensor close to an empty reservoir level can be used to check the liquid level.
[00114] In one aspect, an atomizing diffusion device may include a floating magnet arranged within a range within at least one package of liquid for the diffusion device, in which as a level of liquid within a package changes , the floating magnet moves substantially and vertically along the strip. The device may also include at least one Hall effect sensor or Hall effect switch disposed outside the liquid in a position to enable detection of the position of the floating magnet in the range. The device can also include a processor, operatively coupled to the Hall effect sensor or Hall effect switch, to generate a signal indicating the detected position of the floating magnet and a control instruction for a signal based switch and a switch, operatively coupled to the processor, which receives the control instruction from the processor, where the control instruction causes the diffusion device to switch from using a package on the diffusing device to using a different package on the diffusing device . The switch can be a solenoid switch. The device, according to a claim, can also include a programming facility that receives the signal and predicts when a package will be emptied of liquid or determines a package replacement schedule. The device can also include a remote computer in communication with the processor to receive the signal and generate an alert if the signal indicates a need to replace a package or when an unexpected signal is obtained. The processor can be adapted to send a signal indicating the switch to a different packaging on the diffusion device
[00115] In the modalities, the exchange system employs a sensor that measures the pressure in a package to determine the presence of a vacuum or partial pressure / limit pressure. Certain pressure readings can be associated with a liquid level in a package. When a certain pre-determined pressure reading is obtained, it can cause an alert or signal to be generated indicating a need to replace a package, an unexpected reading and the like.
[00116] In the modalities, the exchange system employs a camera or another image reproduction unit to monitor the liquid level inside a package. For example, a package may have a transparent part that can allow a camera to reproduce an image of the liquid level. When the camera determines that the liquid level has dropped to a certain point, an alert or signal to be generated indicating a need to replace a package, an unexpected reading and the like.
[00117] In the modalities and referring to figure 10, an atomization diffusion system 1000 may include a housing 1002 containing at least two packages 1004 with liquid in fluid communication with at least one diffuser 1008 and a sensor 1010. In the modalities, the 1010 sensor is a 1010 liquid level sensor that determines the liquid level in at least one of the packages. In the modalities, the 1010 sensor can be an image reproduction sensor, a Hall effect sensor, a traffic / occupancy sensor, or the like. The system also includes a processor 1012 operatively coupled to the liquid level sensor to generate a signal indicating the liquid level and a control instruction for a switch 1014 based on the signal, where the switch is operatively coupled to the processor and receives the processor control instruction. The control instruction causes the diffusion system to switch from using a package in the diffusion system to using a different package in the diffusion system. In some modalities of the system, the system alternates between a first diffuser 1020 and a second diffuser 1018. In some modalities of the system, the system alternates packages associated with a single diffuser 1008, 1018, 1020. The liquid level sensor can be a image reproduction sensor, in which the liquid level inside a package is exposed through at least one of a transparent wall and a transparent window of the package. The switch can be a solenoid switch. The device may also include a 1022 communication facility that allows the processor to transmit the signal to a remote computer, where the remote computer uses the signal to generate an alert if the signal indicates a need for repacking a package or when an unexpected signal is obtained, or predict when a package will be emptied of liquid, or to determine a package replacement schedule. The liquid level sensor can include a floating magnet arranged within a range within at least one of the packages, in which as a level of liquid within a package changes, the floating magnet moves substantially and vertically along the range and at least one of a Hall effect sensor and a Hall effect switch disposed outside a package in a position to enable detection of the position of the floating magnet in the strip. The atomizing diffusion device may be a perfume diffusion device.
[00118] In some embodiments, the atomization diffusion system includes at least two packages with liquid in fluid communication with at least one diffuser, a liquid level sensor that determines the liquid level in at least one of the packages and a processor , operatively coupled to the liquid level sensor, to generate a liquid level indicator signal and a control instruction to change a state of the diffusion system. In some cases, the altered state is an exchange between packages. In other cases, the changed state is a device shutdown.
[00119] Now with reference to figure 24A, a diffusion device modality includes cartridges 2424, an antenna 2404, a display 2422 and control buttons 2420. Figure 24B shows a front view of the embodiment of figure 24A. Figure 24C shows a view along Section A - A of figure 24B. Figure 24C represents a power switch 2428, solenoids 2410, pump 2418, power supply 2402 and power barrel connector 2414. Figure 24D represents a power supply 2402, antenna 2404, fan 2408, solenoids 2410, pump 2418, 2414 power barrel connector and 2412 level sensor board. The 2412 level sensor board has a plurality of Hall effect sensors that as the magnet passes through it floating in the cartridge, the level of liquid inside the cartridge is measured. The sensors themselves are opposite the view from plate 2412 in figure 24D. What is seen in figure 24D is the board 2412 and the circuit lines running for each of the sensors on the other side.
[00120] In one embodiment and with reference to figure 13, a method for operating an atomizing perfume diffusion device may include configuring the atomizing perfume diffusion device with a packaging adapted to store a liquid, wherein the level of liquid in the package is determined with a liquid level sensor 1302, generate a signal indicating the liquid level by sensor 1304, transmit the signal to a remote computer with a communications installation of the atomizing perfume diffusion device 1308 and start an event remotely on the remote computer based on signal 1310. The event can be the scheduling of a replacement, sending a replacement technician, transmitting an alert / email to the team on site, weather forecast until exhaustion and the like . The forecast may include performing a calculation of supply days. The calculation may involve taking the current measured liquid level and dividing it by the average utilization rate per day to determine a number of days of supply remaining. The average usage rate per day can be set over a period of time. The method may also include scheduling a time-based reset. The method may also include generating a control instruction for a switch based on the signal and receiving the control instruction from the processor, where the control instruction causes the diffusion device to switch from using a package in the diffusion device to use a different packaging still configured in the diffusion device.
[00121] In one embodiment, a method for operating an atomizing diffusion device may include configuring the atomizing diffusion device with a package adapted to store a liquid, wherein the level of liquid within the package is estimated using a criterion, coupling a processor to the device to generate a signal indicative of the estimated liquid level and initiate an event based on the signal. The event can be a prediction of time until exhaustion, an alert, device shutdown or, otherwise, interruption of broadcast and similar operations. The forecast may include performing a calculation of supply days. The calculation may involve taking the current measured liquid level and dividing it by the average utilization rate per day to determine a number of days of supply remaining. The calculation may involve an operating duration or use of compressed gas at the location of the measured liquid level in order to estimate the amount of liquid remaining. The average usage rate per day can be set over a period of time. The method may include scheduling a time-based reset. The estimated liquid level can be determined based on a task cycle used by the device or on historical or modeled data for an operation of the device.
[00122] In one embodiment, a method for coordinating a plan or plans to repair atomization diffusion devices, such as perfume diffusion devices, within an environment may include arranging a plurality of perfume diffusion devices within an environment, where each diffusion device includes a communications facility that allows signals to be transmitted to and received signals from a remote computer, to have at least one liquid level sensor inside each diffusion device, to receive liquid level data on the remote computer the plurality of diffusion devices; and based on the liquid level data, determine through the remote computer an efficient or optimized plan or plans for repairing the diffusion devices. The plan or plans may involve one or more of: production of the fragrance of perfume, acquisition of the fragrance of perfume, management of perfume stock, delivery of perfume stock and scheduling or coordination of resources to carry out the efficient or optimized repair plan of a plurality of devices within an environment. In the modalities, the plan includes repairing atomization diffusion devices within a plurality of environments.
[00123] In one aspect, a method pertaining to atomization diffusion devices within a plurality of environments may include accessing an electronic data structure that characterizes physical parameters of a plurality of remote diffusion devices disposed within a plurality of environments, where the electronic data structure includes data specifying at least one of the production of the perfume fragrance, the acquisition of the perfume fragrance, the management of perfume stock, the delivery of perfume stock and the scheduling or coordination of resources to carry out transformation 1102, access relevant logistical data 1104 on the remote computer and provide a service plan for the broadcast devices based on the electronic data structure and the relevant logistical data 1108. The method may also include accessing data on the remote computer relevant logistical data on the remote computer and based on the liquid level and logistical data, determine air through the remote computer a plan or plans to repair the broadcast devices. Logistical data can include at least one of the locations of each environment or diffusion device, data from the transport map and route optimization algorithms. The liquid level is measured using an image reproduction sensor. The level of liquid within a package of the atomizing diffusion device can be exposed through at least one of a transparent wall and a transparent window of the package. The liquid level sensor may include a floating magnet arranged within a range within at least one of the packages, in which as the level of liquid within the package changes, the floating magnet moves substantially and vertically along the range and at least one among a Hall effect sensor and a Hall effect switch disposed outside the packaging in a position to allow detection of the position of the floating magnet in the strip. Determining the plan may include performing a calculation of supply days, where the calculation involves taking the current measured liquid level and dividing it by the average utilization rate per day to determine a number of days of supply remaining and on which the average usage rate per day is defined over a period of time. Resource scheduling and coordination may include sending a replacement technician or sending an alert / email to staff on site. The electronic data structure can be generated on a computer based on the liquid level data of the plurality of remote atomization diffusion devices. Each broadcast device may include a communications facility that allows signals to be transmitted to and received signals from a remote computer and at least one liquid level sensor. The level of liquid can be measured using a liquid level sensor including a floating magnet arranged within a range within at least one package of the atomizing diffusion device, in which as a level of liquid in the package changes, the magnet float moves substantially and vertically along the strip and at least one of a Hall effect sensor and a Hall effect switch disposed outside the packaging in a position to allow detection of the position of the floating magnet in the strip. Physical parameters can refer to the liquid level of the diffusion devices.
[00124] In one embodiment, an atomizing diffusion device can include at least two packages with liquid in fluid communication with a perfume diffusion device, in which the level of liquid within the package is exposed through at least one among one transparent wall and a transparent packaging window. At least one image reproduction sensor can be arranged outside the package in the diffusion device to reproduce the image of the liquid level in the package. A processor can be operatively coupled to the image reproduction sensor to generate a signal indicative of the liquid level and a control instruction for a switch based on the signal. The switch can be operatively coupled to the processor to receive the control instruction from the processor, where the control instruction causes the diffusion device to switch from using a package in the diffusion device to use a different package in the diffusion device . The processor can be adapted to send a signal indicating the switch to the different packaging in the diffusion device.
[00125] In the modalities, the liquid level sensor can be used in combination with another measure to determine if the diffusion device is performing correctly. For example, if the liquid level sensor indicates a specific level of liquid in the package, but the pump activity and / or rate of compressed air consumption indicates that more liquid should have been emptied, an alert or signal may be generated indicating the unexpected reading. Such an unexpected reading can be caused by a leak in the system or a clogged spray nozzle or any of many possible failures or performance problems.
[00126] In one aspect, an atomization diffusion device can include at least two packages with liquid in fluid communication with a perfume diffusion device, in which a first package contains a neutralizer and a second package contains a perfume, an installation communications server that receives data on detected bad odors and a processor, to execute a control instruction based on the data to cause the diffusion device to spread at least one of the neutralizer, the perfume and a mixture of the two to combat the bad odor. The data can be derived from environmental sensors. The control instruction may be changing the diffusion task cycle of perfume and neutralizing agents. Changing the task cycle may involve solenoids for each opening of the package for a certain% of the task cycle. The data can be derived from a wind direction sensor that detects nearby bad odors being carried towards a fragrant location or a humidity sensor.
[00127] In one embodiment, wireless devices in a diffusion network communicate with each other through an interconnection protocol, in which the communication between the devices allows the generation of a consistent perfume profile over a wide area. Each broadcast device is capable of operating in several modes, depending on the presence of a WWAN module within the device and its initialization protocol. With a WWAN module installed, the device can self-configure in a "gateway mode" and can be known as a perfume gateway device. Without the WWAN module installed, the device can be known as a perfume knot device. In any event, devices can still include a LAN card. Devices can communicate with each other or they can be independent. Alternatively, in some local interconnection scenarios, devices can be wired together and / or to a central interconnection device. In some modalities, devices can transmit and receive communication through a cloud server.
[00128] In one scenario, a perfume dispersion network is established, comprising a perfume gateway device and one or more perfume knot devices, where the perfume gateway device and the perfume knot device can be devices diffusion, as described here. In one embodiment, this can be done as follows: 1) the perfume gateway device is installed and connected to AC or DC power; 2) an initialization protocol within the perfume gateway device includes a self-diagnosis, followed by the activation of the WWAN module and the establishment of communications with the NOC; 3) the perfume gateway device then receives the configuration settings from the NOC and begins to disperse perfume according to its downloaded schedule; 4) when establishing its own configuration, the perfume gateway device searches its wireless local area network for the perfume node devices; 5) when identifying the perfume node devices, the perfume gateway device then establishes communications with each perfume node device; 6) the perfume gateway device collects information from each perfume node device and then relays that information to the NOC; 7) the NOC receives the information from the device and communicates the program settings and the information to each perfume node device, through the perfume gateway device; 8) each perfume node device, having received its configuration settings from the NOC through the perfume gateway device, begins to disperse the perfume according to its downloaded schedule. This exemplary scenario provides remote, centralized management of a perfume dispersion network through a perfume gateway device, which is a perfume dispersion device that still acts as the network gateway. Communication between devices can occur through various interconnection protocols listed here elsewhere, such as Bluetooth (full power and LE), MiWi, Zigbee and the like. In modalities, for a large area, multiple gateway devices can be deployed to establish one or more perfume dispersion networks at a location.
[00129] Once a perfume dispersion network is established, the perfume gateway device can continue to communicate and store data and instructions to and from each paired or associated perfume dispersion device within a space and then retransmits the data and instructions between the NOC and each perfume dispersion device. In this way, the status of the perfume dispersion network and each device is regularly reported to the NOC and NOC administrators are able to remotely monitor the perfume dispersion network operations and control the devices to take action to ensure that the dispersion of perfume fragrance conforms to trademark standards or other parameters. In one embodiment, the perfume dispersion network includes only one perfume gateway device communicating with a NOC and no networked or associated perfume node device.
[00130] The NOC may include a database of all diffusion devices in the field, including information such as device type, location, customer, sensor readings from the diffusion device, a perfume diffusion level, oil volume. fragrance, fragrance oil type, packaging / reservoir type, compressed air volume, number of devices on a local network, an on / off status, any alerts, current firmware, permissions and security settings and the like. Any of the device's settings or status can be viewed and / or controlled remotely by a NOC user. The NOC allows you to run reports in order to verify the integrity and effectiveness of the system at the customer's locations and generate alerts when diffusion device problems are detected at the customer's locations. The NOC allows you to manage wireless cell provisioning, accounts, usage; remotely manage the local mesh wireless networks used to interconnect broadcast devices at a customer site; manage firmware updates in the field; use centralized software applications to collect telemetry data from devices broadcast over the Internet; and the like. A ticket issuance and workflow facility, described anywhere here, triggered alerts can enable NOC users to record responses to alerts and direct tickets to people who can resolve them (for example, maintenance technicians). Figure 2 represents a modality of a perfume management system 200 that allows remote control, monitoring and management of the perfume device of a central NOC. In this modality, business applications 202 for workflow, analytics and support as well as consumer applications 204 for mobile and web control can interconnect with NOC 208 software, which can run on NOC 118. Business application 202 can run on a NOC 114 user device. Consumer applications, such as a customer control application, can run on a consumer control device 120. NOC 208 software can include features such as virtualized device services, Internet service APIS web, a real-time alert engine, distributed data storage, data rate services, account management, a firmware update manager, secure and date networks and a scalable cloud architecture. In this modality, the NOC 208 communicates via WiFi or a cellular internet gateway with 210 broadcasting devices that can be locally networked, such as networked Zigbee. Figure 3 represents a commercial architecture modality 300. In this modality, architecture 300 includes a billing and finance unit 302 that receives billing and payable data from a device management facility 308, an inventory management facility 304 that interconnects with the device management facility 308 for the purpose of exchanging information about new devices, repairs and replacements, a NOC 118 to monitor diffusers 102, 104 through the device management facility 308, a ticketing facility and streaming work 310 that interconnects with NOC 118, device management facility 308 and maintenance technician interface 314 to create and manage tickets for service personnel, a 312 customer interface to view diffuser status and adjust settings service technician interface and settings to receive service requests and update status, install and repair diffusers .
[00131] For example, system administrators at the NOC are able, among other things, to review the status data received within the perfume dispersion network, control the program settings of all devices in the perfume network, identify problems performance within the perfume dispersion network, schedule the replacement of the fragrance cartridges and schedule the maintenance, repair or replacement of failed perfume network devices. NOC administrators are able to perform such tasks manually by reviewing the status data and making changes in real time, or by enabling the NOC software to take action automatically to maintain and support the scent dispersion network based on rules and heuristics pre-established. Figure 6 represents an exemplary modality of a visualization of the NOC 600 system. In this visualization, the guides are visible for alerts, devices, information, users and a search window. A window of flat installation locations per parent company (eg Hotel A Hotel B, Hotel C), locations that are branch offices, or otherwise associated with the parent company (eg Hotel A1, Hotel A2) and yet locations associated with the secondary level of the company hierarchy (for example, Hotel A1 - Location 1, Hotel A1 - Location 2, Hotel A1 - Location 3). In this figure, the user's guide is displayed indicating who is a point of contact for the installation. Figure 7 represents an exemplary embodiment of an overview 700 of the broadcasting devices in a particular location. In this example, the diffusers are listed, a map with a location of the locations is shown, alerts are shown and any specific NOC functions, such as adding a diffuser or gateway, can be shown. For the diffuser listing, information such as a current setting, a current fragrance level, a WiMi signal strength and a device type can be shown along with any other diffuser or sensor data. Each diffuser can be selected so that the user can view the specifications for that diffuser. Figure 8 represents an exemplary embodiment of a display of a "display" 800 to the data of the diffusion device. The current fragrance level, the current setting, a schedule, a fragrance level / FCL (fragrance concentration level) / SCF history (perfume concentration factor) and a temperature history can be shown as well as any other diffuser or sensor data.
[00132] In one embodiment, a user interface for a network of perfume diffusion devices may include a device management and monitoring facility (DM&M) that includes configurable panels to allow a plurality of activities for the network of diffusion devices perfume and a security facility to define one or more permissions for activities. The activities can be at least one among viewing the telemetry data of the diffusion device, maps of the diffusion device locations, receiving liquid level readings or other meter / sensor readings, providing control instructions to the diffusion devices, reviewing status and manage perfume operations for one or more networks of perfume diffusion devices, receive data and status information from devices, generate and view reports, adjust device settings, view historical graphs showing device performance, receive alerts , configure alert triggers, view and edit perfume schedules and profiles, view parameters without a unit to articulate and display a fragrance level, review alerts to replace packages, buy and pay for new packages, renew subscriptions for perfume management services , review system integrity (for example, machine shutdown alerts machine), change permissions for a user, start a ticket / workflow, assign a service technician, add or remove a device from a network, and add a client / room / storage. A mobile application can be used to access the user interface. The user interface can also include a programming installation to indicate when a service is scheduled to take place in an environment and enable a user to select a perfume to be disseminated in the environment that complements the scheduled service. Alerts can be based on various configurable criteria and conditions (for example, low liquid, machine shutdown, etc.). Viewing and editing perfume schedules and profiles can be carried out for one or more diffusion devices independently of each other. Device tuning settings can involve the user increasing or decreasing the overall output of all diffusion devices in the location and enabling a NOC to calculate and adjust the settings for each diffusion device needed to achieve the overall location volume setting.
[00133] In one aspect, a method for managing perfume in an environment may include placing one or more perfume diffusion devices within an environment, wherein the perfume diffusion devices comprise a communications facility that allows signals to be transmitted to and from receiving signals from a remote computer, receiving at least one perfume parameter to perfume an environment on the remote computer and controlling, through the remote computer, at least one of the perfume diffusion devices to reach the perfume parameter. The control may include adjusting an operating parameter of the perfume diffusion device in response to a fragrance level detected in the environment.
[00134] With reference to figure 9, a method for operating atomization diffusion devices within an environment may include receiving on a computer, liquid level data from a plurality of remote atomization diffusion devices in which each diffusion device comprises a communications facility that allows signals to be transmitted to and received signals from a remote computer and at least one liquid level sensor and based on the liquid level data 902, create, via the remote computer, an electronic data structure that characterizes the transformation of remote diffusion devices, in which the electronic data structure includes data specifying at least one of the production of the perfume fragrance, the acquisition of the perfume fragrance, the management of perfume stock, the delivery of perfume stock 904 and cause remote atomization diffusion devices to implement transformation 908.
[00135] In another aspect, a method for managing perfume in an environment may include placing one or more perfume diffusion devices within an environment, wherein the perfume diffusion devices include a communications facility that allows transmitting signals to and receive signals from a remote computer. The method may also include having at least one sensor within the environment that transmits data from the sensor to the remote computer and receiving at least one perfume parameter to scent the environment on the remote computer. The method also includes controlling, through the remote computer, the diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid that is in fluid communication with at least one of the perfume diffusion devices to reach the perfume parameter. In the modalities, it is not diffusion of a liquid, but diffusion of a gas. Control can include setting or adjusting a perfume diffusion device operating parameter in response to sensor data. The sensor data can refer to static parameters or dynamic parameters, such as volume of the environment, geometry of the environment, area of the environment, air flow, presence of materials that produce odor, presence of odor passage factors, lighting, flow of air, altitude, traffic flow, occupancy detection (eg IR, camera, CO2 sensor), proximity detection, odor detected, fragrance level, perfume concentration factor, temperature, humidity, time of day, season of the year, climatic event, detection of a specific individual / VIPs entering the space, such as through a smartphone ping and the like. In certain embodiments, the perfume diffusion device (s) can be configured in the installation in a reference configuration, based on the static parameters of the installation location. Then, the device would intelligently adjust the perfume output, based on algorithms that adjust dynamic parameters or changing conditions by time. Certain static parameters include room volume, room geometry, room area and altitude. Regarding the volume of the environment, volume calculations can be performed based on the measurements taken from the room, for example, using a tape measure or a laser distance meter and then adding the volume data into a data structure that characterizes the space in which the diffuser is implanted. This can be done when installing the device to establish the reference settings for the Perfume Concentration Factor. With respect to the geometry of the environment, geometry can be determined by considering entrances, exits and other areas of people's movement, as well as floor plans. The area of the room can be calculated based on the sensor measurements of the linear distance between the walls. With respect to altitude, diffusion devices may have a proximity detection capability based on cell phone technology, which allows the device to "know" where it is located, for example, at specific longitude and latitude. Given the long-lat information, the networked device can request a remote database with specific altitude from the location where it is located. This altitude information is then used to adjust the performance of the device, so, for example, a lower perfume diffusion setting would be used at high elevations with "finer" air, while a higher perfume diffusion level would be used in lower elevations with "thicker" air.
[00136] Dynamic parameters include the presence of materials that produce odor, presence of odor passing factors, lighting, air flow, traffic flow, occupancy detection (eg IR, camera, CO2 sensor), detection proximity, detected odor, fragrance level, perfume concentration factor, temperature, humidity, time of day, season, climatic event, detection of a specific individual / VIPs entering the space and the like.
[00137] With respect to air flow, a sensor technology can measure the mass of incoming flow through a device (typically a tube) per unit time. The airflow sensor can be a flow or pressure differential sensor, or switch, or transducer. For a fixed airflow HVAC system, the airflow sensor can be in the form of a switch, which indicates whether the airflow is occurring or not, above a certain limit. This information would be used to "turn on" the perfume diffuser when air is flowing and "turn off" the perfume diffuser when air is not flowing. For a variable airflow HVAC system, the airflow sensor can provide an analog voltage reading, which indicates the actual airflow level. This analog signal can be used to automatically adjust the diffuser output, based on the airflow level. In this way, the device is able to increase the diffusion of perfume when the air flow is high and reduce it when the air flow is low (or stop when the air flow is "off").
[00138] Regarding the presence of materials that produce odor, semiconductor sensors can identify particles of perfume in suspension, in which such encores can be "tuned" to specific perfumes. The receivers of these sensors may be able to identify the shape of a perfume molecule, or alternatively, they are "tuned" to a certain quantum effect of the perfume molecules as their level of vibration. Based on the detection of certain known bad odors within an environment, the diffusion device can change its level or perfume or conversely add a secondary odor remediation or neutralization diffusion that combats the bad odor. In the case of the two-cartridge system, one cartridge contains the desired fragrance of perfume, while the second cartridge contains the odor remedy / neutralizer, which would be diffused according to a pre-programmed response, once a certain odor is detected .
[00139] Regarding the presence of odor passing factors, certain types of molecules will interact with or bind to the perfume particles, causing them to fall out of circulation. These odor passing factors can be identified in much the same way as previously described for bad odors, allowing the diffusion device to leave the pre-programmed algorithm in response to the presence of the odor lowering factor.
[00140] With respect to lighting, photodetectors are devices that can detect the presence of photons. There are a variety of commercially available and well-known technologies that allow photo-detection and some are even "tuned" to detect and measure the relative quantity of certain types of photons, which have characteristic wavelengths (red, blue, etc. in the visible spectrum of lights). The diffusion device has data inputs that allow it to respond to the detection or absence of light, such as, to slide the perfume diffusion when no light is detected. Similarly, lighting systems in theatrical productions can be used to control perfume diffusers, so that the networked perfume diffuser will follow the programmatic direction of a lighting control system.
[00141] With regard to traffic flow, people detectors are sensors that can count the number of times a person has walked through a specific point. A detector is a photoelectric sensor, which detects the number of times that a beam of light, which is placed by a space, is broken or stopped by a passing person. Another detector is an image or video camera, which uses image processing techniques to determine the number of people in a space, as well as their individual residence times. The diffusion device can take information from a traffic flow sensor and automatically adjust its perfume diffusion, for example, by scenting an area as people are arriving, or by increasing the perfume level to accommodate greater traffic.
[00142] With regard to occupancy detection, these sensors can confirm the presence of one or more individuals within a space. One approach includes an image or video camera that uses image processing techniques to determine the number of people in a space, as well as their individual residence times. The diffusion device can take information related to the occupation and automatically adjust its perfume diffusion, for example, by providing more perfume to an area with more people, or by stopping the diffusion of perfume in a busy room and then starting the diffusion of the fragrance on people's arrival.
[00143] With regard to proximity detection, proximity sensors are triggered when a person is directly in front of a particular space, such as in front of a particular product display. By detecting the presence of a person in this space, the diffuser is able to provide a perfume experience, coordinated with the presentation of the product at the exhibition.
[00144] Regarding the detection of a specific individual / VIPs entering the space, cameras with facial recognition software can determine the presence and identity of a person or persons, whose facial profiles have been preloaded for comparison. In another mode, the specific individual / VIPs can be detected by detecting your smartphone. The presence of specific people can, therefore, be communicated to the device of these sensors, allowing the perfume diffusion device to change its performance.
[00145] Regarding the fragrance level, by "identifying" a desired perfume fragrance with a molecular identification, such as a charged particle, a sensor may be able to identify and determine the concentration of the "identified" perfume particles within a space. The diffusion device can be set to deliver a certain level of perfume concentration within an environment and by using the odor detection of the perfume particles the diffuser is distributing, it can guarantee a defined range of acceptable perfume level, or "factor" of perfume concentration "or SCF. When the sensor detects odor concentrations below the desired SCF, then the diffuser delivers additional fragrance to achieve the desired concentration. If the measured concentration is within the defined SCF, then the diffuser continues to monitor without diffusion. If the concentration is above the SCF, the diffuser can continue to monitor without diffusion, or it can diffuse an odor-lowering formulation that binds with the suspended perfume and thus reduces the perfume level within the desired SCF range.
[00146] Regarding the temperature, the perfume diffuser can have multiple forms of temperature measurement. The internal temperature inside the diffusion device is measured using a thermistor that is present in the device's electronics. This thermistor allows the device to communicate the internal temperature to a remote monitoring center, which can be alerted if the internal temperature exceeds a prescribed limit as its recommended operating temperature range. Similarly, with remote monitoring, the device can be pre-programmed to take a certain action under a certain temperature condition, such as stopping the distribution of fragrance oil if the temperature is above its operating limit, or below the freezing point. of perfume oil. The external temperature can be measured based on a thermal sensor (thermistor) mounted on the outside of the device, allowing the diffuser to change its performance based on the changing temperatures within the environment that is occurring. The temperature of the outdoor climate can be retrieved from a remote data structure, based on the geocoded location of the device using its network connectivity. The diffuser can react to the outside temperature of the environment, by the diffusion of alternating fragrances, or by a change in the perfume concentration. With all three forms of temperature measurement and variant data using diffusers using the remote monitoring capabilities of the devices, one can determine the statistical correlation of temperature to other performance trends, for example, oil consumption rate over time.
[00147] With respect to humidity, a humidity sensor installed inside a device can detect the internal humidity of the device, one outside the device can determine the environmental humidity inside the space being perfumed and the geocoding and remote data searches can be used to recover moisture from the local climate. The perfume device can react to change these humidity levels in a similar way as described for the temperature. Similarly, over time, remote monitoring can be used to assess and correlate trend data, such as how moisture affects the rate of consumption of scented oil inside a diffuser.
[00148] Regarding the time of day, the diffusers are connected smart devices and, consequently, precisely know the time. Based on the geolocation data from the cellular modem (or network id) of a diffuser in a fragrant environment, the device can precisely set its clock to the local time zone and automatically adjust to the time of year settings on the fly, with the objective of keeping the diffuser unit in time synchronization with the world clock. Since perfume diffuser devices have the ability to change the fragrance output or fragrance type based on perfume programs or playlists, it is critical that the device has an accurate representation of your current time.
[00149] With respect to the season, the diffuser has the ability to precisely say the time as well as to know the current day, week and year, using the same approach as described above. Using this time knowledge, it can be programmed to perform differently on different days or at different seasons.
[00150] With respect to a climatic event, since the diffuser is intelligent and connected, local climatic conditions can be downloaded to the device based on its geolocation. Based on these local climatic conditions, the diffuser device can change its performance based on a predefined set of rules.
[00151] The perfume diffusion device may include at least one package containing a fragrance oil or at least two packages containing a fragrance oil. In the modality, one of the perfume diffusion devices is a master node and the others of the perfume diffusion devices are slave nodes and receive control instructions from the computer through the master node. In this mode, each perfume diffusion device can adjust its own control settings based on the activities of the other perfume diffusion devices. The method may include configuring the perfume diffusion devices so that a duty cycle from the device to one of the perfume diffusion devices occurs simultaneously or not within proximity to another of the perfume diffusion devices. The perfume parameter can refer to a brand management goal. The method may also include determining the total number of perfume diffusion devices to dispose of in the environment based on a volume in the environment. The method may also include determining one or more locations for arranging perfume diffusion devices in the environment based on a volume in the environment. The operating parameter can include at least one of a liquid flow, a duration of the liquid flow, a variation in the liquid flow, an on / off status of the diffusion device, a package to diffuse the liquid, a switch for a different packaging to diffuse the liquid and the like.
[00152] In another scenario of exemplary use, the perfume dispersion network includes one or more perfume node devices and a gateway device of the wide area network. In this scenario, the network gateway device performs the communication and control functions of the perfume gateway device, without actually distributing the fragrance. In this scenario, system administrators at the NOC control the program settings of all perfume network devices and ensure that the fragrance dispersion complies with trademark standards or other parameters. This scenario provides remote and centralized management of a perfume dispersion network through a network gateway device that does not distribute the fragrance.
[00153] In one aspect, a method for managing perfume in an environment may include placing one or more perfume diffusion devices within an environment, in which the diffusion devices comprise a communications facility that allows signals to be transmitted to and received signals a gateway device of the fragrance-free wide area network. The method may further include interconnecting the network gateway device to the perfume diffusion devices, wherein the network gateway device receives communication and control functions from a remote computer for distribution to the perfume diffusion devices. At least one sensor disposed within the environment can transmit the sensor data to the remote computer. At least one target value of a perfume parameter for an environment can be received on the remote computer. The method may also include controlling, via the remote computer, the diffusion of a liquid, from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with at least one of the perfume diffusion devices, to achieve the target value of the perfume parameter, where controlling includes setting or adjusting an operating parameter of one or more of the perfume diffusion devices based on the sensor data. In the modalities, it is not diffusion of a liquid, but diffusion of a gas. At least one of the perfume diffusion devices receives control instructions from the remote computer and relays control instructions to at least one other perfume diffusion device. Scent diffusers can relay control instructions in series, in a ring, in a network, in a star network topology and the like.
[00154] In another exemplary use scenario, the perfume dispersion network includes one or more perfume node devices, a local area network control device, but without a wide area network gateway device. Each perfume node device is paired with a local area network control device, which allows a local user within a site to program and control the perfume node devices independently of a NOC (local control versus centralized remote control) ). This scenario allows the local management of a perfume dispersion network through communication protocols of the wireless local area network. Examples of local area network control devices include a computer or laptop with wireless local area network communication capabilities; a smartphone, pad device, or tablet capable of wireless local area network communication; or a specially constructed perfume controller device with wireless local area network communication capability. In the embodiments, the perfume controlling device may be a portable device or wall mounted device for controlling one or more networked perfume diffusers.
[00155] In one embodiment, a method for managing perfume in an environment, may include having at least one perfume diffusion device within an environment, in which at least one perfume diffusion device comprises a communication facility that allows transmitting signals to and receive signals from an independent remote control device, receive at least one target value of a perfume parameter for the environment on the independent remote control device and based on the target value, control, via the remote control device independently, the diffusion of a liquid from a liquid source in fluid communication with at least one perfume diffusion device to achieve the target value of the perfume parameter. In the modalities, it is not diffusion of a liquid, but diffusion of a gas.
[00156] In one aspect, a method for managing perfume in an environment may include placing one or more perfume diffusion devices within an environment, wherein the diffusion devices comprise a communications facility that allows signals to be transmitted to and received signals a local area network control device and interconnect the local area network control device to each of the perfume diffusion devices, where the local area network control device receives communications from and distributes control instructions perfume diffusion devices. The method may also include having at least one sensor within the environment that transmits data from the sensor to the local area network control device, receiving at least one perfume parameter to scent an environment in the local area network control device and controlling , through the local area network control device, the diffusion of a liquid or gas, from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with at least one of the perfume diffusion devices, to reach the perfume parameter, in which control includes setting or adjusting an operating parameter of one or more of the perfume diffusion devices in response to sensor data. The local area network control device can include one or more of a computer or laptop with wireless local area network communication capability, a smartphone, a pad or tablet device with wireless local area network communication capability. cord, a specially built perfume controller device with wireless local area network communication capability, a portable device, a wall-mounted device and the like.
[00157] In yet another exemplary use scenario, a perfume dispersion system includes one or more perfume node devices, without a wide area network gateway device and local area network control device. This scenario provides independent operation of a perfume knot device using manual settings, established by a local individual using the user interface found on each fragrance dispersion device.
[00158] In the modalities, multiple master devices can be deployed in a single physical location. In the multi-device installation mode (master-slave configuration), each device can adjust its own control settings based on the activities of the other devices. The system can be a network of devices coordinated with "local perfume network" level control mechanisms versus device independent control mechanisms. For example, a group of networked distributors could be configured so that the individual devices' task cycle does not occur simultaneously within proximity to one another (one device waits for the previous one to distribute, so they are not overloading an area with multiple network devices). perfume "firing" at the same time). Of course, they can still be configured to fire simultaneously. In effect, the coordination, sequence and / or synchronization of networked perfume devices is dynamically controlled.
[00159] In one embodiment, the number and location of perfume diffusion devices within an enclosed space can be established based on the volume of the space, but the individual control programs for these devices can be based on something other than the volume of space, such as a sensor reading, an area, a linear distance from the device to a target, and the like. In the modalities, the initial settings for the diffusion devices can be established in one form, such as using volume from the environment, but then can be changed to control through a different mechanism, such as by environmental adjustments or consumption rate measures and the like.
[00160] In one embodiment, the diffusion devices can operate in a perfume casting mode, in which the devices are programmed with a linear distance at a target location of the perfume and the level of the fragrance that should be at the target location . Other considerations may include airflow and tonnage from an HVAC system when programming a perfume casting mode. In a perfume foundry mode, the goal is not to fill the space with fragrance, but to perfume a target area or target audience with the impression of the perfume brand.
[00161] In one aspect, a method of smelting perfume in an environment may include arranging a perfume diffusion device within an environment, wherein the perfume diffusion device comprises a communications facility that allows signals to be transmitted to and received signals from a remote computer, determine a distance from the perfume diffusion device to a target location of the perfume, receive, at the remote computer, at least one perfume parameter for the target location of the perfume and control, via the remote computer, the perfume diffusion device to reach the perfume parameter, in which control includes configuration of an operating parameter of the perfume diffusion device based on the determined distance and the perfume parameter. The method may also include having at least one sensor within the environment that transmits data from the sensor to the remote computer and adjusting an operating parameter of the perfume diffusion device in response to the sensor data. Sensor data can refer to at least one of the room's volume, room geometry, room area, air flow, presence of odor-producing materials, presence of odor passage factors, lighting, air flow, altitude , traffic flow, occupancy detection (IR, camera, CO2 sensor), proximity detection, detected odor, fragrance level, temperature, humidity, time of day, season, climatic event and detection of a specific individual / VIPs entering the space (via ping from smartphone or similar). The method may also include adjusting an operating parameter of the perfume diffusion device in response to a tonnage of HVAC.
[00162] The casting of perfume in an environment can be carried out using a network of diffusion devices, such as perfume diffusion devices. A network of broadcasting devices can be arranged within an environment that each includes a communications facility allowing this transmission of signals to and reception of signals from a remote computer. One of this received signal can be a perfume parameter for a target perfume location. A distance from the diffusion devices at the target location of the perfume can be determined by any means available for such determination. Through the remote computer, the network of diffusion devices can be controlled to reach the perfume parameter. Control can include setting an operating parameter for diffusion devices based on the specified distance and perfume parameter.
[00163] Perfume casting can also be implemented using a crucial point in an environment. Such a diffusion device may include a sensor to determine a distance from the diffusion device to a target location of the perfume and a first communications installation 1022 that receives control signals from a network operations center, the control signals to control a diffusion of perfume from the diffusion device according to a perfume impression goal and distance. The device may also include a second 1024 communications facility for communicating data with a mobile device at the perfume's target location for consumer engagement, such as to provide consumers with a coupon, an advertisement, a survey, a game, or other content.
[00164] A ticketing facility and NOC workflow can receive alerts from the device management and monitoring system and create tickets. Tickets can be directed, based on the rules, to the correct person or, in some cases, rules can automatically trigger an action (for example, shutting down a device that is behaving improperly, or resetting a device). The ticketing and workflow facility can be a configured version of a commercial service ticket issuing system.
[00165] Devices managed in a diffusion network, where the device is agnostic to actual diffusion technology, can be used to generate a consistent perfume profile over a wide area / environment according to brand standards or other parameters. In one embodiment, generating a consistent perfume profile involves neutralizing a bad odor in an environment. The generation of a consistent perfume profile can include task cycle management, scheduling, fragrance level / fragrance replenishment, room volume, room geometry, air flow, presence of odor-producing materials, presence of passage factors odor, lighting, temperature, humidity, altitude, traffic flow, occupation, time of day, stock of particular "base", "medium" and "high" notes on a fragrance string and other variables relating to the environment. Thus, data collected by or about the device, data based on measurements by sensors or associated with the device and user data can be transmitted to, generated, or used by the NOC in order to facilitate management. These data will be described here.
[00166] Certain types of data can be sent from broadcast devices to the NOC or another user. Data related to a work schedule, such as task cycle, parts of the day and the like, can be sent through the diffuser. Object type, such as the diffuser type (for example, Master, Slave, independent), can be transmitted by the diffuser. The diffusion device can transmit the fragrance name and level. For example, the fragrance level can be a value from 0 to 100, with 100 being full and 0 being empty. The temperature, in Fahrenheit, Celsius or other units, as well as the date and time can be transmitted. The broadcasting device can send an indication of the strength of the local wireless link. An array of any error codes that are currently present on the device can be transmitted. The diffusion device can transmit the average pressure of the pump.
[00167] The diffusion device can report diagnostic data on a periodic basis, such as weekly / daily, or by forcing the diffusion device into a diagnostic mode, such as via a local keyboard or controller, or the NOC. Data usage can be reported by Master devices, such as cell phone data usage.
[00168] In one embodiment, a device management and monitoring facility (DM&M) can be incorporated into a user interface that can include configurable panels to allow activities, such as viewing telemetry data from the broadcasting device, viewing maps of locations of the diffusion device, receive liquid level readings or other sensor / meter readings, provide diffusion device control instructions, review the status of and manage perfume operations for one or more networks of perfume diffusion devices, receive device data, receive alerts, view / edit perfume schedules and profiles, view parameter without unit to articulate and display a fragrance level, review alerts to replace packaging, buy new packaging and pay online, renew subscriptions for services perfume management system, review system integrity (for example, machine shutdown alerts), change permissions for a user, start a ticket / workflow, assign a service technician, add / remove the device from a network, add client / division / storage and the like. In the modalities, a mobile application, such as a smartphone or tablet application, can enable customers to access a mobile version of the user interface.
[00169] The user interface can be used to configure and trigger alerts based on various configurable criteria and conditions (for example, low liquid, machine shutdown, etc.), in which the NOC can manage the system by exception based on detected alarms. The user interface can enable customers to view the status of their broadcast devices, adjust their settings, or view historical graphs that show the performance of the devices. The user interface can take DM&M data and present it in a form that uses the fragrance language, instead of devices (for example, MAC address, PAN number). In the modalities, the DM&M facility can be responsible for all communication with the broadcasting devices and may be the only module that changes the settings of the broadcasting device. In other modalities, the WiFi capabilities can be included in the master broadcasting device allowing a direct connection to the device.
[00170] The user interface can be used to manage and edit the schedules for one or more broadcasting devices independently of each other. That is, there is the ability for different diffusers in a single location to have different schedules.
[00171] A report page can be used to generate and access reports. An "about page" or introductory page can tell the user about the version number of the application, as well as the version number and device types of the various devices.
[00172] The user interface can include a login screen to enter the user ID and password and authenticate it. The user interface can include a dashboard page that shows the status of all local broadcast devices at a summary level. A visual icon representing each broadcast device with an indicator for function or status can be added to the panel. The user interface can include a broadcast device page that includes a list of broadcast devices in the location, with summary status and settings (for example, volume setting, general health of the broadcast device, whether it is currently broadcasting or not) based on task cycle, status of communications links and the like). Icons for each broadcasting device can be displayed. A diffusion device status page can be a drilldown page showing all device status and configuration data, such as general diffuser salute (good, or error + error code and description), diffuser volume / configuration output level (according to program), diffuser volume / output level setting (according to configuration by local customer, possibly canceling the program), fragrance liquid level (based on sensor reading) , time and date according to the device's clock, integrity of the communication links between the various devices and the local server whose fragrance is reproducing / being disseminated in the diffuser, date and time of the last maintenance and the like. A broadcast settings settings edit page can be a page where a user can edit a broadcast settings device and save the new settings, including the on / off program settings and the fragrance volume level.
[00173] A location control page can enable the user to increase or decrease the overall output of all broadcast devices in the location. For example, an algorithm, such as a location control algorithm, can perform a calculation that moves a target fragrance value (also known as a local output level) (for example, between 0-100, between 0-10, etc. .) in the location of the actual device settings for each broadcasting device. The user would only adjust the overall volume setting for the location, not the settings for each broadcast device. The NOC would then calculate and adjust the settings for each broadcast device needed to achieve the overall location volume setting. The local output level represents the output level aggregated by all diffusers. The user interface can have graphical arrows to move the output level up and down. The master diffusion device can adjust its own output level and the output level of its slaves up or down, proportionally based on the new configuration. If all diffuser configurations were the same, the new configurations will be all the same, but if the diffusers had different output configurations, the new configurations can be scaled based on each original diffuser configuration. As an example, the current output level can be 70, based on the 3 diffusers whose output settings are 65, 70 and 75. If the user moves the output level to 80, the new settings can be the original settings multiplied by (80-70) / 70, resulting in the settings of 74.28, 80, 85.71, respectively. The above calculations can be done by the customer's web services or the NOC and placed on individual diffusers.
[00174] The location control algorithm may include return of one or more sensors in the environment or on board the diffusion device when making calculations, such as return of a Bluetooth / WiFi sensor (for example, to determine an occupation), a different occupancy sensor, an altitude sensor, an airflow sensor, a humidity sensor, a light sensor, a motion / occupancy / proximity sensor, a digital laser rangefinder / digital distance measurement, a sensor particle, a smell sensor / VOC sensor, an image reproduction sensor / cameras, a perfume concentration factor sensor, a clock, a timer, a calendar, a climate sensor and the like. The modification or generation of a perfume profile delivered by a network of perfume diffuser devices can be based on one or more detected parameters, in which the modification of the perfume profile is made by selecting or adjusting the diffusion settings for one or more fragrances on board available from one or more perfume diffuser devices in a network. The detected parameter can be at least one among the volume of the environment, geometry of the environment, air flow, presence of materials that produce odor, presence of odor passage factors, lighting, air flow, altitude, traffic flow, detection of occupation (IR, camera, CO2 sensor), proximity detection, odor detected, fragrance level, temperature, humidity, time of day, season, climatic event, detection of a specific individual / VIPs entering the space (through smartphone ping or similar) and the like. In the modalities, the perfume profile is a neutralization of a bad odor and the fragrance includes an odor neutralizer. Modification or generation of a perfume profile delivered by a network of perfume diffuser devices can be based on the return of automated air sampling, where the modification is by selecting or adjusting the diffusion settings for one or more of a plurality of perfume modifiers available on board one or more networked perfume diffusers. A user can adjust a general level of the desired fragrance in the space and in the NOC or the master diffuser device can determine the necessary adjustment for one or more devices, such as slave diffusers. A master diffuser device can adjust its own output level and the output level of its slaves up or down, proportionally based on the new configuration.
