Abstract

See full text

A scent dispersal device and a network for operating one or more scent dispersal devices are provided. The device can include electronics for operating a heater within the device to cause a scent cartridge within the device to disperse a scent into the surrounding environment. The device can include a top configured to turn the device on/off and control the type, strength and duration of a specific scent from a scent cartridge. The device can be equipped with sensors to identify the type of scent selected and the level of scent substance remaining in a scent cartridge. The device can be configured to interact with other scent devices via a local Wi-Fi network, where the tactile control of one device causes other devices to act in the same manner. The device or devices can further be controlled by and send information to a mobile device via a network.
