  • Publication number: 20240156174
    Abstract: Features relating to vaporizer devices configured to allow for operational mode selection are provided. User controlled actions with respect to cartridge removal from and insertion into a cartridge receptacle of a vaporizer body provide for selection of an operational mode. A plurality of operational modes of a vaporizer device are defined and are arranged in a sequence. Each user controlled action of removing a cartridge from and inserting the cartridge into a cartridge receptacle results in incrementing through the operational modes of the sequence. For each user controlled action of removing and inserting the cartridge, the vaporizer device outputs feedback indicative of a current operational mode of the sequence. By outputting an animation and/or haptic feedback, the user is informed of a position in the sequence of operational modes, and the user is provided with a streamlined process for selecting an operational mode reflective of a desired experience.

  • Patent number: 11980234
    Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to transitioning a vaporizer device between different modes of operation including an active mode, a standby mode, and a deep standby mode. The vaporizer device may include a pressure sensor to measure a first pressure in an air flow path, and an ambient pressure sensor to measure a second pressure corresponding to an atmospheric pressure. The transition between different modes of operation may change the sampling frequency and/or resolution of the pressure sensor and/or the ambient pressure sensor such that sampling occurs at a higher frequency and/or resolution when the vaporizer device is in an active mode. Additionally, a comparison of the pressure in the air flow path with the ambient pressure after a heating element is activated may serve as a verification by the vaporizer device that a user is drawing on the vaporizer device.

  • Publication number: 20220132937
    Abstract: Features relating to tracking location of a vaporizer device and locating a vaporizer device are provided. Tracking location of the vaporizer device and/or locating the vaporizer device may occur through use of an application running on a user device with an established connection/pairing to the vaporizer device. In a connected state, the user device tracks the location of the vaporizer device and may then provide tracked location information through a user interface generated by the application on the user device. The connection between the user device and the vaporizer device enables the user device to locate the vaporizer device as a distance from the user device based on signal strength information. The user device may use the determined distance data to convey, through the user interface, to a user of the user device details related to the current location of the vaporizer device.
