A vehicle air feeding system for introducing air with smell associated with a component of a vehicle powertrain into a vehicle passenger compartment. The air feeding system includes an air inlet located adjacent the component of the powertrain, an air outlet located in the vehicle passenger compartment, and an air duct arrangement providing a flow path from the air inlet to the air outlet and configured for guiding air with smell associated with the component of the vehicle powertrain from the air inlet to the air outlet.

An air purification-aromatherapy machine includes a housing, an aromatherapy assembly, a filter screen, and an air extractor; the housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet; the aromatherapy assembly, the filter screen and the air extractor are placed in the housing; the air extractor comprises a fan, an air duct configured for guiding an airflow blown by the fan to the air outlet, and a sound absorber configured for absorbing noise of the airflow; an end of the air duct is extended to the air outlet, the sound absorber is placed in the air duct and corresponding to the air outlet.

A vehicle scent dispensing device may comprise a scent cartridge configured to contain a scenting agent, a controller configured to determine a scent diffusion level of the scenting agent, a valve, and a fan. The controller may be configured operate the valve and control the fan to regulate an airflow pathway to the scenting agent and to draw air through the airflow pathway and over the scenting agent based on the scent diffusion level.

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.

The invention relates to the field of fragrance technologies, and specifically provides a vehicle and a control method of a fragrance of the vehicle, a fragrance unit, a vehicle, a computer storage medium, and a control apparatus. The fragrance system includes: a fragrance module including a housing and at least one fragrance chamber disposed in the housing, where an NFC antenna is configured above each fragrance chamber; and a fragrance unit, which is configured in the fragrance chamber in a removable manner and able to send forth a fragrance corresponding to the fragrance unit into target space when the fragrance module is enabled, where the fragrance unit is provided with an NFC tag that is loaded with identity information of the fragrance unit, where the NFC tag is disposed in the fragrance unit in a built-in manner. In this way, a fragrance unit can be reliably recognized based on NFC.

An air scenting device for introducing at least one fragrance into a vehicle interior of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The air scenting device includes at least one fragrance cartridge arranged in a housing interior of a housing. An adjustment mechanism is provided for adjusting at least one flap closure between an open position, where the flap closure releases at least one of an inlet opening and an outlet opening of a cartridge housing, and a closed position, where the flap closure closes the at least one of the inlet opening and the outlet opening. A fragrance inlet is disposed on the housing for introducing air to be admixed with fragrance, and a fragrance outlet is disposed on the housing for discharging the air admixed with fragrance.

A fragrance diffuser for a vehicle has a structure separate from an air conditioning operation of a vehicle and may selectively emit a fragrance stored in a plurality of cartridges by an opening/closing device. The fragrance diffuser includes: a plurality of cartridges each including: a casing having an internal space configured to store a fragrance; and an opening/closing member extending to communicate with an interior and an exterior of the casing, and configured to open or close the internal space; a housing including: an inlet; a movement passage for the air; insertion ports into which the cartridges are inserted in the movement passage; and an outlet from which the fragrance or the air is discharged depending on an opened or closed state of each of the cartridges; an opening/closing device configured to operate the opening/closing members; and a control unit configured to control an operation of the opening/closing device.

A fragrancing system may include at least one cartridge for storing a fragrance and at least one closing mechanism. The cartridge may have a cartridge opening. The closing mechanism may include a flap, a shaft, a lever, and a pin. The flap may be displacable via the shaft to a closed position, in which the flap closes the cartridge opening, and an open position, in which the flap frees the cartridge opening. The fragrancing system may further include an actuating mechanism, which may have a disc rotatable via an actuator. A cam plate structure may project axially from the disc. The pin may be arranged on a radially outward facing outer side of the cam plate structure when the flap is in the closed position and may be engaged with a recess of the cam plate structure when the flap is in the open position.

Systems and methods are disclosed for an embedded in-vehicle platform that provides immersive user experiences. An example method includes obtaining, by a vehicle controller of a vehicle, a preference profile for a user; loading the preference profile by the vehicle controller; determining a shopping experience of the user occurring on a vehicle shopping platform within the vehicle; determining an ambience profile of a merchant identified in the shopping experience; and controlling, by the vehicle controller, an in-vehicle ambience within the vehicle based on the ambience profile and the preference profile.

A fragrance system for a room, building or other environment, the system including (a) a stand or other form of base and (b) one or more portable fragrance objects, each portable fragrance object providing a fragrance and configured to rest on the stand or base. The stand or base includes one or more fans or other air movement system arranged to release fragrance from one or more of the fragrance objects.
