Abstract

A method is disclosed comprising generating, by a first electronic vapor device, first usage data related to the first electronic vapor device, transmitting, by the first electronic vapor device, the first usage data to a central server, and receiving, by the first electronic vapor device, an indication of compliance with a vaping program.

First claim

1 . A method comprising:
generating, by a first electronic vapor device, first usage data related to the first electronic vapor device; transmitting, by the first electronic vapor device, the first usage data to a central server; and receiving, by the first electronic vapor device, an indication of compliance with a vaping program.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first usage data comprises one or more of chronological usage, a type of vaporizable material used, a mixture of vaporizable material used, a frequency of usage, a duration of usage, a location of usage, a recommendation, a purpose for usage, an age of user, a sex of user, a race of user, a hobby of user, a type of electronic vapor device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving, by the first electronic vapor device, the indication of compliance with the vaping program comprises either receiving an indication that usage of the first electronic vapor device is in compliance with the vaping program or receiving an indication that usage of the first electronic vapor device is not in compliance with the vaping program.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vaping program comprises a smoking cessation program.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vaping program comprises a regimen of medicine.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising registering the first electronic vapor device for usage data monitoring and a second electronic vapor device for usage data monitoring.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
generating, by a second electronic vapor device, second usage data related to the second electronic vapor device; transmitting, by the second electronic vapor device, the second usage data to a central server; and receiving, by the first electronic vapor device or the second electronic vapor device, an indication of compliance with the vaping program.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the first usage data and the second usage data reflect a random pattern of usage among the first electronic vapor device and the second electronic vapor device.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising triggering one or more alerts to be sent to one or more authorized third parties based on the first usage data.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
sensing, through a vaporizing sensor, a nicotine level of an inhalation and a use frequency by a user of the first electronic vapor device; and sensing, through a supply sensor, a supply level of at least one container of the first electronic vapor device, wherein the at least one container comprises a flavoring or nicotine.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising transmitting to a central server, data regarding the nicotine level and the supply level.

12 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising adjusting, by a processor of the electronic vapor device, the nicotine level.

13 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving an instruction to adjust the nicotine level from the central server; and adjusting, by a processor of the electronic vapor device, the nicotine level.

14 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a central server, usage data related to a plurality of electronic vapor devices; determining, by the central server, that the usage data related to the plurality of electronic vapor devices is in compliance with a vaping program or is not in compliance with the vaping program; transmitting, by the central server, an indication to each of the plurality of electronic vapor devices that the plurality of electronic vapor devices are in compliance or are not in compliance; and transmitting, by the central server, an indication to one or more authorized third parties that the plurality of electronic vapor devices are in compliance or are not in compliance.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the usage data comprises one or more of chronological usage, a type of vaporizable material used, a mixture of vaporizable material used, a frequency of usage, a duration of usage, a location of usage, a recommendation, a purpose for usage, an age of user, a sex of user, a race of user, a hobby of user, a type of electronic vapor device.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the vaping program comprises a smoking cessation program.

17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the vaping program comprises a regimen of medicine.

18 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising receiving a registration of each of the plurality of electronic vapor devices for usage data monitoring.

19 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the usage data reflects a random pattern of usage among the plurality of electronic vapor devices.

20 . An apparatus comprising:
a vapor outlet; a container for storing a vaporizable material, wherein the vaporizable material comprises nicotine; a supply sensor coupled to the container for sensing a supply level of the container; a vaporizer component coupled to the container, configured for vaporizing the vaporizable material to generate a vapor and for providing the vapor to the vapor outlet; a vaporizing sensor coupled to the vapor outlet for sensing a nicotine level of each inhalation and a use frequency; a processor, coupled to the supply sensor and the vaporizing sensor, configured to collect usage data comprising the supply level, the nicotine level, and the use frequency, wherein the usage data relates to a vaping program; and a network access device, coupled to the processor, configured for transmitting the usage data to a central server.
