Abstract

A system comprising a vaporizing device and a central server is described. The vaporizing device includes a housing and a cartridge, received within the housing, the cartridge including a predefined quantity of concentrate and an identification code associated with the concentrate and uniquely identifying the cartridge. The vaporizing device further includes a control unit configured to read the identification code. The vaporizing device further includes a communication unit configured to transmit the identification code to a computing device of a user. The central server includes a database. The central server is configured to receive the identification code from the computing device and retrieve concentrate information corresponding to the identification code from the database. The central server is configured to transmit the concentrate information to the computing device for displaying to the user.

Claims (35)

1. A system comprising:

a vaporizing device comprising:

a housing;

a removable cartridge received within the housing and configured to store a predefined quantity of concentrate therein, the cartridge comprising an identification code associated with the concentrate, and a plunger structured and arranged to extrude a known quantity of the concentrate from the cartridge;

a vaporization chamber defined in the housing and in fluid communication with the cartridge, the vaporization chamber configured to collect the concentrate extruded from the cartridge, the vaporization chamber being disposed physically separate from the cartridge;

a control unit disposed within the housing and configured to read the identification code; and

a communication unit coupled to the control unit, the communication unit configured to transmit the identification code to a computing device of a user; and

a central server comprising a database, the database comprising a plurality of identification codes and corresponding concentrate information, wherein the central server is configured to:

receive the identification code from the computing device;

retrieve concentrate information corresponding to the identification code from the database; and

transmit the concentrate information to the computing device for displaying to the user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to:

receive at least one user input related to a vaping session of the user; and

transmit at least one instruction to the vaporizing device based on the received user input for triggering the vaping session.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the computing device is configured to:

generate session data associated with the vaping session; and

transmit the session data to the central server.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the central server is configured to:

receive the session data from the computing device; and

update a user profile of the user based on the session data, the user profile comprising session data associated with one or more vaping sessions of the user.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the computing device is configured to:

display a user survey form related to the vaping session of the user;

receive a user feedback from the user based on the user survey form; and

transmit the user feedback to the central server.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the central server is configured to:

identify a plurality of users based on one or more predetermined user parameters associated with the user;

retrieve user feedback associated with the plurality of users;

generate a suggestion for the user based on the user feedback; and

transmit the suggestion to the computing device for displaying to the user.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to:

record user information associated with the user; and

transmit the user information to the central server for registering the user.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communication unit of the vaporizing device comprises a Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) module.

9. The system of claim 1 , further including a heating element in thermal communication with the vaporization chamber, the heating element configured to generate heat energy to vaporize the concentrate in the vaporization chamber; the control unit further configured to control the heat energy generated by the heating element based on the identification code of the cartridge.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the identification code uniquely identifies the cartridge.
