Improved air freshener dispenser for car comprising a rigid air freshener container; a dispensing nozzle longitudinally oriented and coupled to an upper end of the air freshener container such that it emits a dose of air freshener every time the user presses said nozzle downwards; and an absorbing element surrounding an outlet orifice of the dispensing nozzle such that all the air freshener emitted by said nozzle impregnates said absorbing element.

Environmental characteristics of habitable environments (e.g., hotel or motel rooms, spas, resorts, cruise boat cabins, offices, hospitals and/or homes, apartments or residences) are controlled to eliminate, reduce or ameliorate adverse or harmful aspects and introduce, increase or enhance beneficial aspects in order to improve a wellness or sense of wellbeing provided via the environments. Control of intensity and wavelength distribution of passive and active Illumination addresses various issues, symptoms or syndromes, for instance to maintain a circadian rhythm or cycle, adjust for jet lag or season affective disorder, etc. Air quality and attributes are controlled. Scent(s) may be dispersed. Hypoallergenic items (e.g., bedding, linens) may be used. Water quality is controlled. Noise is reduced and sounds (e.g., masking, music, natural) may be provided. Passive and active pathogen controls are employed. Controls are provided for the occupant and/or facility personnel, as is instruction, and surveys, including assessing wellness.

An air freshener module is installed in a compartment slot formed in the dashboard of a vehicle. The module includes a body having a front section and a rear section. The rear section has an air inlet port that is adapted for coupling to the vehicle AC tube. The front section defines a plenum or interior housing space configured to receive an air freshener receptacle or holder that is movable between an open state and a closed state. The front end of the interior housing space defines an air outlet port. An air passageway extends between the air inlet port and the air outlet port. During operation, air admitted through the air inlet port is vented into the interior housing spaced occupied by the air freshener holder, enabling air to pass through an air freshener element and thereby communicate odorized air into the cabin. An adjustable closure regulates the amount of air delivered into the plenum.

To realize a device and method that outputs scents according to an advertisement. A scent output control unit that executes scent output control and a scent output unit that executes a scent output under control of the scent output control unit are included, and the scent output control unit selects a scent to be output on the basis of an advertisement and outputs the selected scent via the scent output unit. The scent output control unit selects a scent to be output on the basis of an advertisement detected from an image captured by a vehicle exterior camera that captures the outside of the vehicle or an advertisement output to the information output terminal, and outputs the selected scent via the scent output unit. Furthermore, an occupant profile is analyzed on the basis of an image of an occupant, and a scent corresponding to the occupant is output.

An air freshener device for an automobile includes a housing, a removable vented cover, and an interior chamber containing a fan and a heater. The housing is structured for removable receipt of a wax melt container within an upper portion of the interior chamber. In a preferred embodiment, the wax melt container is at least partially formed of silicone and includes a removable spill-proof vented top. A button control on the housing is operable to electrically power the fan and heater, causing a fragrant wax material in the wax melt container to melt, thereby releasing a pleasant aroma out from the vented cover and within the surrounding atmosphere. The interior chamber may further include one or more LEDs for directing light upwardly and out through the vented cover.

An information processing device including a control unit, wherein the control unit estimates a state of a user based on user information including at least one of voice data, image data, or biometric data of a user of the vehicle, and when it is determined that the estimated state satisfies a predetermined condition, executes a predetermined process selected in accordance with the estimated state in the vehicle.

An air scenting system for a vehicle is provided which includes an appliance and a replaceable cartridge installable therein. The replaceable cartridge contains a liquid compound to be aerosolized and has a cartridge outlet through which the aerosolized compound is discharged during operation. A pump is provided to supply air to the replaceable cartridge to generate the aerosolized compound from the liquid compound contained in the replaceable cartridge, and a controller is provided for controlling the pump to supply the air to the replaceable cartridge to generate and discharge the aerosolized compound from the appliance. The appliance is particularly adapted for dispensing scent into the interior space of a vehicle, and includes a form factor particularly well suited for positioning the appliance in a cup holder. Additionally, the appliance is designed for use in vehicles when a driver is present and readily adjustable by the driver to provide a uniform scent experience.

The present application provides an air purifier comprising a main body, wherein the main body comprises: a housing, wherein an interior of the housing is hollow, an air inlet is formed at one end of the housing, an air outlet is formed at the other end of the housing, and positions of the air inlet and the air outlet are interchangeable; a fan mounted in the housing and used for sucking outside air from one end of the housing or for sucking outside air from the other end of the housing; a photocatalyst member mounted in the housing; and ultraviolet light-emitting members mounted in the housing, so that ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light-emitting members can effectively irradiate the photocatalyst member.

The invention relates to a deodorization device (1) for a vehicle, with a container (2) for a deodorant (3), wherein the container (2) for the deodorant (3) is provided with at least one opening (7, 8), and with a holding device (4) for mounting the deodorization device (1) on a ventilation slot in the interior of a vehicle, wherein the holding device (4) comprises at least one clamping part (6). The at least one clamping part (6) is made of elastic material, has an elliptical or circular cross section and is configured so as to be able to be introduced in a holding manner into a ventilation slot of a vehicle.

A vehicle air-conditioning system includes a cold-air circulation section in which indoor air of a vehicle is cooled via heat exchange with a refrigerant and is again supplied to a passenger compartment, a hot-air circulation section in which the indoor air is raised in temperature via heat exchange and is then again supplied to the passenger compartment, a purification circulation section in which the indoor air is introduced and purified and is then again supplied to the passenger compartment, and a refrigerant circulation section in which the refrigerant circulates to undergo heat exchange with the cold-air circulation section and the hot-air circulation section. The vehicle air-conditioning system separates an indoor air flow-path from an outdoor air flow-path to block outdoor air when performing air conditioning, and performs air conditioning of the passenger compartment using only the indoor air without entry of the outdoor air.
