This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,721.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

A next-generation vapor provision system that integrates AI-driven nicotine dosing, modular cartridge design, and neurointerface-enabled real-time cognitive feedback to optimize user experience and vapor delivery.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed an electronic vapor provision device with an absorbent element to prevent liquid leakage. However, this design has limitations in terms of customization, user experience, and safety. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing a modular, self-sustaining cartridge module with advanced liquid sensing, dynamically adjustable vapor output, and real-time monitoring of user puffing patterns.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The Neuro-Adaptive Modular Vapor Provision System comprises a detachable, self-sustaining cartridge module with integrated power management and advanced liquid sensing. The cartridge module is wirelessly rechargeable and features a dynamically adjustable vapor output. The system also includes a wearable, biomechanically-inspired vapor provision device with a flexible, conformable reservoir and an adaptive, AI-driven nicotine dosing system. This system learns and responds to the user's physiological and behavioral needs. Furthermore, the system incorporates a decentralized, blockchain-based vapor provision ecosystem, enabling secure, transparent, and community-driven development of novel vapor flavors, nicotine formulations, and device customization options. The neurointerface-enabled vapor provision device reads and responds to the user's brain activity, providing a real-time, cognitive feedback loop to optimize vapor delivery and user experience.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventive concept introduces a paradigm shift in vapor provision technology by integrating AI-driven nicotine dosing, modular cartridge design, and neurointerface-enabled real-time cognitive feedback. These features provide a significant improvement over the original patent, enabling a more personalized, adaptive, and safe user experience.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the Neuro-Adaptive Modular Vapor Provision System could include variations in the cartridge module design, such as interchangeable flavor cartridges or adjustable nicotine levels. Additionally, the system could be integrated with other wearable devices or health monitoring systems to provide a more comprehensive user experience.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The Neuro-Adaptive Modular Vapor Provision System has significant commercial potential in the vaping industry, particularly in the areas of personalized nicotine delivery and user experience. The system's modular design and AI-driven nicotine dosing capabilities could also appeal to the growing market of health-conscious consumers seeking safer, more effective alternatives to traditional tobacco products.
