First Claim
Patent Images
1. An air freshening system comprising:
- (a) a plurality of scent emitters displaced relative to each other in the freshening system, wherein each of the plurality of scent emitters is configured to emit an air freshening composition;
(b) at least one sensor responsive to a stimulus the sensor is capable of sensing;
(c) a communication interface configured to communicate with the plurality of scent emitters; and
(d) wherein each of the plurality of scent emitters comprises an emission processor, wherein the emission processor is;
(i) responsive to the sensor;
(ii) configured to controlling scent emission from the respective scent emitter; and
(iii) configured to make scent emission decisions through distributed processing across the system based on information exchange among the scent emitters through the communication interface.
