Abstract

A communication terminal device in which a diffusion control of aroma suitable for the situation can be performed. In the communication terminal device (100), according to the diffusion parameter used for diffusing the aroma (or smoke) and predetermined by the user, the state of a mobile terminal body (100B) recognized by a control unit (130) by using the detected information from the sensors of a sensing unit (150), and environment information on the environment around the mobile terminal body (100B), diffusion control of an aroma material (121) from a diffusion apparatus body (100A) is performed by an aroma diffusion section (141) of an indicating unit (140), smoke generation control of a smoke generation material (122) is performed by a smoke generation section (142), and suppression control of the aroma diffusion and the smoke generation is performed by a diffusion suppression unit (110). Therefore, the diffusion control of the aroma and the smoke that is suitable for the situation (environment) of the mobile terminal main body (100B) can be performed.

Claims

1. A communication terminal apparatus comprising:

a fragrance spreading section that spreads fragrance by a predetermined spreading request;

a spread parameter setting section that sets up a spread parameter upon spreading the fragrance by the fragrance spreading section;

an environment information acquiring section that acquires environment information about an environment in which the fragrance spreading section spreads the fragrance; and

a spread canceling section that cancels spreading the fragrance based on the spread parameter and the environment information.

2. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the spread canceling section comprises a deodorizer spraying section that deodorizes spread fragrance by issuing a spray of a deodorizer.

3. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:

the environment information acquiring section comprises a fragrance sensor that detects a type of the fragrance; and

the spread canceling section that stops spreading fragrance of the next spreading request, when the fragrance sensor detects a different type of the fragrance by a next spreading request.

4. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:

the environment information acquiring section further comprises a light sensor that detects the amount of light in an environment in which the fragrance is spread; and

the spread canceling section that cancels spreading the fragrance according to the amount of light detected by the light sensor.

5. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:

the environment information acquiring section further comprises a position sensor that detects a position of a target for spreading the fragrance; and

the spread canceling section that cancels spreading the fragrance according to the position detected by the position sensor.

6. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a spread control section that controls the spread of fragrance,

wherein the spread control section controls the fragrance spreading section such that the fragrance spreading section spreads the fragrance by the next spreading request immediately after a fragrance for a previous spreading request stops being spread.

7. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a spread control section that controls spread of the fragrance,

wherein the spread control section controls the fragrance spreading section such that the fragrance spreading section spreads the fragrance by the next spreading request after an arbitrary period passes a fragrance by the previous spreading request stops and.

8. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a spread control section that controls spread of the fragrance,

wherein the spread control section controls the fragrance spreading section such that the fragrance spreading section gradually decreases a fragrance in spreading and gradually increases the fragrance by the next spreading request.

9. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a spread control section that controls spread of the fragrance,

wherein the spread control section controls the fragrance spreading section such that the fragrance spreading section mixes a plurality of fragrances in an arbitrary ratio and spreads the mixed fragrances.

10. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a spread control section that controls spread of the fragrance,

wherein the spread control section controls the fragrance spreading section such that the fragrance spreading section repeats spreading the fragrance intermittently at arbitrary intervals.

11. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a spread control section that controls spread of the fragrance,

wherein the spread control section controls the fragrance canceling section such that the fragrance canceling section cancels spreading the fragrance in spreading at an arbitrary time.

12. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a sound section that, when a next spread is requested in a situation where the spread canceling section cancels spreading the fragrance, makes sound instead of spreading the fragrance.

13. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a vibration section that, when a next spread is requested in a situation where the spread canceling section cancels spreading the fragrance, vibrates instead of spreading the fragrance.

14. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a light-emitting section that, when a next spread is requested in a situation where the spread canceling section cancels spreading the fragrance, emits light instead of spreading the fragrance.

15. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:

the environment information acquiring section comprises a fragrance concentration sensor that detects a concentration of fragrance around the terminal; and

the spread canceling section that cancels spreading the fragrance when a concentration of the fragrance detected by the fragrance concentration sensor is equal to or more than a predetermined level.

16. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a spread canceling clear section that clears a spread canceling function of fragrance by the spread canceling section.

17. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a remote control section that controls spread of the fragrance from the fragrance spreading section by a remote control.

18. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a fragrance material remaining amount sensor that detects the amount of remaining fragrance material spread from the fragrance spreading section; and

a fragrance spread amount adjustment section that, when the amount of remaining fragrance material detected by the fragrance material remaining amount sensor is equal to or less than a predetermined remaining amount, cancels spreading the fragrance or decreases the amount of the fragrance spread.

19. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a smoking section that produces smoke, wherein:

the spread parameter setting section sets up the spread parameter upon producing the smoke;

the environment information acquiring section comprises a smoke sensor that acquires environment information about an environment in which the smoke is produced; and

the spread canceling section cancels producing the smoke based on the spread parameter and the environment information.
