Abstract

An apparatus is disclosed comprising a sensor configured for detecting an environmental condition, a processor, coupled to the sensor, configured for, identifying the environmental condition, and determining a mixture of vaporizable material based on the environmental condition, a plurality of containers for storing a plurality of vaporizable materials, a mixing element, coupled to the processor, configured for withdrawing a selectable amount of each of the plurality of vaporizable materials from each of the plurality of containers based on the mixture of vaporizable material, a mixing chamber coupled to the mixing element for receiving the selectable amounts of each of the plurality of vaporizable materials, and a vaporizer component, coupled to the mixing chamber, configured for vaporizing the selectable amounts of each of the plurality of vaporizable materials to generate a vapor or an aerosol expelled through a vapor output. The plurality of vaporizable materials comprise air fresheners.

Claims (33)

1 . An apparatus comprising:

a sensor configured for detecting an environmental condition;

a processor, coupled to the sensor, configured for,

identifying the environmental condition, and

determining a mixture of vaporizable material based on the environmental condition;

a plurality of containers for storing a plurality of vaporizable materials;

a mixing element, coupled to the processor, configured for withdrawing a selectable amount of each of the plurality of vaporizable materials from each of the plurality of containers based on the mixture of vaporizable material;

a mixing chamber coupled to the mixing element for receiving the selectable amounts of each of the plurality of vaporizable materials; and

a vaporizer component, coupled to the mixing chamber, configured for vaporizing the selectable amounts of each of the plurality of vaporizable materials to generate a vapor or an aerosol expelled through a vapor output.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an alert interface, coupled to the processor, configured for determining one or more alerts based on the environmental condition.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising a network communication device, coupled to the processor and wherein the processor is further configured to cause the network communication device to transmit the determined alert to an electronic device.

4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the electronic device comprises one or more of a smartphone, a smart watch, a tablet, a laptop, an alarm system, a security system, a home automation system, or combinations thereof.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises one or more of a biochemical/chemical sensor, a thermal sensor, a radiation sensor, a mechanical sensor, an optical sensor, a mechanical sensor, a magnetic sensor, an electrical sensor, or combinations thereof.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a network communication device, coupled to the processor and wherein the processor is further configured to cause the network communication device to transmit detection data from the sensor to a remote server to identify the environmental condition.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus comprises an e-cigarette, an e-cigar, an electronic vapor modified device, a hybrid electronic communication handset coupled/integrated vapor device, a micro-sized electronic vapor device, or a robotic vapor device.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the environmental condition relates to at least one of, a hospital care system, a recreational system, a rehabilitation system, and a home or office regulation system.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of vaporizable materials comprise air fresheners.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a network communication device, coupled to the processor and wherein the processor is further configured to cause the network communication device to receive an indication of a detected environmental condition from a central sensor.

11 . A method comprising:

detecting, by a sensor of an electronic vapor device, an environmental condition;

identifying the environmental condition;

determining a vaporizable material based on the environmental condition;

vaporizing the vaporizable material; and

expelling the vaporized vaporizable material as a vapor or an aerosol through a vapor output of the electronic vapor device.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the electronic vapor device comprises an e-cigarette, an e-cigar, an electronic vapor modified device, a hybrid electronic communication handset coupled/integrated vapor device, a micro-sized electronic vapor device, or a robotic vapor device.

13 . The method of claim 11 wherein detecting, by the electronic vapor device, the environmental condition comprises receiving an indication of the environmental condition from a central server.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the sensor comprises one or more of a biochemical/chemical sensor, a thermal sensor, a radiation sensor, a mechanical sensor, an optical sensor, a mechanical sensor, a magnetic sensor, an electrical sensor, or combinations thereof.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein identifying the environmental condition comprises analyzing detection data generated by the sensor.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein analyzing the detection data generated by the sensor further comprises transmitting detection data generated by the sensor to a remote server for analysis.

17 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising transmitting an alert indicative of the environmental condition to an electronic device.

18 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the electronic device comprises one or more of a smartphone, a smart watch, a tablet, a laptop, an alarm system, a security system, a home automation system, or combinations thereof.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein transmitting the alert indicative of the environmental condition to the electronic device comprises transmitting one or more of, a text message, an email, a signal to activate a light, a signal to activate a sound, a signal to activate a vibration, a signal to activate an application, or combinations thereof.

20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the vaporizable material comprises an air freshener.
