Abstract

The present application relates to an atmosphere adjusting method, an atmosphere adjusting device, and an aroma diffuser. The method comprising: receiving a recognition result of a smell for a specific position; obtaining a corresponding table that indicates a corresponding relationship between the recognition result of the smell and light and/or melody; determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the corresponding table, according to the recognition result of the smell; and instructing output of the corresponding light and/or melody. The technical solution of the application implements the adjustment of light and/or melody in response to the smell indoor, which makes the light and/melody change with the change of smell, thereby creating a harmonious and unified atmosphere in seeing, hearing and smelling for users.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An atmosphere adjusting method, comprising:
receiving a recognition result of a smell for a specific position;
obtaining a first corresponding table that indicates a corresponding relationship between the recognition result of the smell and light and/or melody;
determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the first corresponding table, according to the recognition result of the smell; and
instructing output of the corresponding light and/or melody in the specific position wherein an output of the light and/or the melody dynamically changes with a change in the smell.

2. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 1 , wherein the recognition result of the smell comprises one or more of the following: smell molecules contained in the smell, a category to which the smell belongs, and a concentration of the smell.

3. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 2 , wherein determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the first corresponding table according to the recognition result of the smell comprises:
determining, from the first corresponding table, properties of the light and/or the melody corresponding to the smell molecules contained in the smell, and/or the category to which the smell belongs, and/or the concentration of the smell; and
determining the light and/or the melody to be output according to the determined properties of the light and/or the melody;
wherein, the properties of the light comprise one or more of the following: color, lighting direction, degree of flicker and intensity, and the properties of the melody comprise one or more of the following: theme, genre, rhythm, pitch and intensity.

4. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 3 , wherein the first corresponding table comprises a corresponding relationship between a combination of more than two kinds of smell molecules and the properties of the light and/or the melody.

5. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 4 , wherein the recognition result of the smell comprises a plurality of kinds of smell molecules contained in the smell, and determining the properties of the light and/or the melody corresponding to the smell molecules contained in the smell, and/or the category to which the smell belongs, and/or the concentration of the smell from the first corresponding table comprises:
determining the properties of the light and/or the melody corresponding to the combinations of the plurality of kinds of smell molecules, from the first corresponding table.

6. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 3 , wherein the recognition result of the smell comprises a plurality of kinds of smell molecules contained in the smell and the concentration of the smell, the concentration of the smell comprising the concentration of each kind of smell molecules in the plurality of kinds of smell molecules, and determining the properties of the light and/or the melody corresponding to the smell molecules contained in the smell, and/or the category to which the smell belongs, and/or the concentration of the smell from the first corresponding table comprises:
determining the category to which the smell belongs from the first corresponding table according to the plurality of kinds of smell molecules and the concentration of each kind of smell molecules; and
further determining the properties of the light and/or the melody corresponding to the category to which the smell belongs from the first corresponding table.

7. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 3 , wherein determining the properties of the light and/or the melody corresponding to the smell molecules contained in the smell, and/or the category to which the smell belongs, and/or the concentration of the smell from the first corresponding table further comprises:
according to a preset user preference, determining the properties of the light and/or the melody corresponding to the smell molecules contained in the smell, and/or the category to which the smell belongs, and/or the concentration of the smell from the first corresponding table.

8. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 2 , wherein determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the first corresponding table according to the recognition result of the smell comprises:
determining whether the concentration of the smell is higher than a preset first threshold or lower than a preset second threshold, the first threshold being greater than the second threshold; and
when the concentration of the smell is higher than the first threshold, determining that the light and/or the melody to be output is a predetermined warning light and/or a warning tone; or
when the concentration of the smell is lower than the second threshold, determining that the light and/or the melody to be output is a predetermined prompt light and/or a prompt tone.

9. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 2 , further comprising:
obtaining a second corresponding table that indicates a corresponding relationship between the recognition result of the smell and a smell to be diffused;
determining a diffusion smell to be diffused from the second corresponding table, according to the recognition result of the smell; and
instructing diffusion of the diffusion smell.

10. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 9 , wherein instructing diffusion of the diffusion smell further comprises:
when the concentration of the smell received is lower than a preset third threshold, controlling the increase of a diffusion rate of the diffusion smell until the concentration of the smell received reaching the third threshold; and
when the concentration of the smell received is higher than a preset fourth threshold, controlling the decrease of the diffusion rate of the diffusion smell until the concentration of the smell received is equal to or lower than the fourth threshold, the fourth threshold being greater than the third threshold.

11. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining position information of the specific position; and
wherein determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the first corresponding table according to the recognition result of the smell comprises:
determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the first corresponding table, according to the position information and the recognition result of the smell.

12. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a recognition result of one or more other smells for one or more other positions within a predetermined distance from the specified position; and
determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the first corresponding table according to the recognition result of the smell comprises:
determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the first corresponding table, according to the recognition result of the smell for the specific position and the recognition result of one or more other smells for one or more other positions.

13. The atmosphere adjusting method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining time information indicating the current time; the time information comprising one or more of the following: a season of the year, a day of the week and a time of the day; and
wherein determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the first corresponding table according to the recognition result of the smell comprises: determining the light and/or the melody to be output from the first corresponding table according to the time information and the recognition result of the
