METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DIFFUSING SCENT COMPLEMENTARY TO A SERVICE
First Claim
1. A method relating to atomizing scent diffusion devices within an environment, comprising:
- receiving, at a computer, data from one or more sensors disposed in an environment, wherein the data provides an indication that a service is being delivered in the environment;
identifying a plurality of remote atomizing scent diffusion devices disposed in the environment, wherein each scent diffusion device comprises a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the remote computer;
based on the indication, creating, via the remote computer, an electronic data structure defining at least one physical operational state of the remote atomizing scent diffusion devices, wherein the electronic data structure includes data specifying at least one of a production of a scent that is intended to be a complement to the service, a fan speed of a fan in the diffusion device that moves particles carrying a scent, and a voltage of a pump of the diffusion device; and
causing the remote atomizing diffusion devices to implement the at least one defined operational state.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing scent in an environment include receiving data from sensors disposed in an environment regarding an indication that a service is being delivered in the environment and identifying remote atomizing scent diffusion devices disposed in the environment, wherein each scent diffusion device comprises a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the remote computer. Based on the indication, an electronic data structure is created defining a physical operational state of the scent diffusion devices, including data specifying at least one of a production of a scent that is intended to be a complement to the service, a fan speed of a fan in the diffusion device that moves particles carrying a scent, and a voltage of a pump of the diffusion device. The diffusion devices are caused to implement the at least one defined operational state.

14. A method relating to atomizing scent diffusion devices within an environment, comprising:
-
providing a scheduling facility to indicate when a service is scheduled to occur in an environment; selecting a scent to be diffused in the environment that complements the scheduled service; determining a plurality of remote atomizing scent diffusion devices disposed in the environment, wherein each scent diffusion device comprises a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a remote computer; and triggering one or more of the plurality of remote atomizing scent diffusion devices to diffuse the selected scent in accordance with the scheduled service. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
