Abstract

A system is disclosed comprising a plurality of vapor devices and a computing device, in communication with the plurality of vapor devices, configured for, receiving sensor data and locations from each of the plurality of vapor devices, determining one or more vaporizable materials to be vaporized by each of the plurality of vapor devices based on the sensor data and the locations, and transmitting an instruction to each of the plurality of vapor devices to vaporize the determined one or more vaporizable materials.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a plurality of vapor devices, each vapor device disposed at a location, wherein each of the plurality of vapor device comprises a vaporizer component, a sensor component, a location component, and a communication component, wherein the vaporizer component is configured to vaporize one or more vaporizable materials, the sensor component is configured to generate sensor data representative of one or more constituents in air in proximity to the vapor device, and the location component is configured to determine a location of the vapor device, and the communication component is configured for transmitting sensor data and the location and for receiving an instruction to vaporize the one or more vaporizable materials; and
a computing device, in communication with the plurality of vapor devices, configured for,
receiving the sensor data and the locations from each of the plurality of vapor devices,
determining one or more vaporizable materials to be vaporized by each of the plurality of vapor devices based on the sensor data and the locations, and
transmitting an instruction to each of the plurality of vapor devices to vaporize the determined one or more vaporizable materials.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of vaporizes is located at a different location.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor component comprises at least one of a gas sensor circuit, a true/false test strip, a PH sensor, a frequency reading device, a temperature reading device, a magnetic sensor, an imaging sensor, a gas chromatograph, a mass spectrometer, or a combination thereof.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the location component comprises a global positioning system (GPS) unit.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determining one or more vaporizable materials to be vaporized by each of the plurality of vapor devices based on the sensor data and the location data comprises determining an air treatment protocol associated with the location and comparing the measurement data to the determined air treatment protocol.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the air treatment protocol comprises one or more of, a target concentration for the one or more one or more constituents, a minimum threshold concentration for the one or more one or more constituents, a maximum threshold concentration for the one or more one or more constituents.

7. A method comprising:
receiving first measurement data for regarding a first one or more constituents in air in proximity to a first vapor device;
receiving first location data for regarding a first location of the first vapor device;
receiving second measurement data for regarding a second one or more constituents in air in proximity to a second vapor device;
receiving second location data for regarding a first location of the second vapor device;
determining a first air treatment protocol based on the first location and a second air treatment protocol based on the second location;
determining a first one or more vaporizable materials to vaporize based on the first measurement data and the first air treatment protocol;
determining a second one or more vaporizable materials to vaporize based on the second measurement data and the second air treatment protocol;
transmitting a first instruction to the first vapor device to dispense a vapor comprised of the first one or more vaporizable materials; and
transmitting a second instruction to the second vapor device to dispense a vapor comprised of the second one or more vaporizable materials.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first measurement data comprises a concentration of the detected first one or more constituents and the second measurement data comprises a concentration of the detected second one or more constituents.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein transmitting the first instruction to the first vapor device to dispense a vapor comprised of the first one or more vaporizable materials further comprises an instruction to engage a first filtration component and wherein transmitting the second instruction to the second vapor device to dispense a vapor comprised of the second one or more vaporizable materials comprises an instruction to engage a second filtration component.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the first one or more vaporizable materials to vaporize based on the first measurement data and the first air treatment protocol comprises comparing the first measurement data to the first air treatment protocol.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the second one or more vaporizable materials to vaporize based on the second measurement data and the second air treatment protocol comprises comparing the second measurement data to the second air treatment protocol.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein one or more of the first air treatment protocol and the second air treatment protocol comprises one or more of, a target concentration for the one or more one or more constituents, a minimum threshold concentration for the one or more one or more constituents, a maximum threshold concentration for the one or more one or more constituents.
