  • Patent number: 10314933
    Abstract: A fragrance dispensing system includes a fragrance dispensing mechanism, a network interface, and a control module. The control module receives a control signal from an input device via the network interface and controls the fragrance dispensing mechanism based on the control signal. The control signal corresponds to settings of the fragrance dispensing mechanism. The fragrance dispensing mechanism may include a fan, a light source, a power save switch, or a combination thereof. A method for controlling a fragrance dispensing system includes generating an interface at an input device, receiving input via the interface, generating a control signal based on the input, and remotely transmitting the control signal to the fragrance dispensing system. The input indicates settings of the fragrance dispensing system. The interface may include a selectable timer option, a selectable power mode, a fan control, a light control, or a combination thereof. The interface may include a fragrance indicator.

  • Publication number: 20150108241
    Abstract: A bead packet apparatus includes a plurality of beads that have been infused with fragrance. The bead packet further includes a fabric casing enclosing the plurality of beads. The plurality of beads may include ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) beads. The plurality of beads may be configured to release the fragrance over a period of time in the absence of heat above room temperature. The fragrance may be released in response to receiving an air flow between the plurality of beads.
