Air Quality Monitoring and Control System Using Electronic Vapor Provision Devices

A novel system utilizing electronic vapor provision devices with absorbent elements to detect and absorb airborne pollutants, enabling real-time air quality monitoring and control in various applications.

The original patent disclosed an electronic vapor provision device with an absorbent element for containing escaped liquid in e-cigarettes. However, the growing concern about indoor air quality and the limitations of existing air quality monitoring systems highlight the need for innovative solutions. The new inventive concept addresses this problem by applying the core technology of the original patent to an entirely different industry, leveraging the absorbent element to detect and absorb airborne pollutants.

The system comprises an electronic vapor provision device with an absorbent element, which detects and absorbs airborne pollutants, and a sensor for measuring air quality levels. The device can be integrated into various applications, including indoor air quality monitoring systems, smart home systems, wearable devices, and systems for detecting and mitigating the effects of wildfires. The absorbent element inhibits the escaped pollutants from leaving the device, ensuring accurate air quality measurements. The sensor data can be transmitted to a remote server or displayed on a user interface, enabling real-time air quality monitoring and control.

The new claims introduce a novel application of the electronic vapor provision device with an absorbent element, transitioning from e-cigarettes to air quality monitoring and control. The inventive step lies in the unexpected use of the absorbent element to detect and absorb airborne pollutants, providing a unique solution for real-time air quality monitoring and control.

Alternative embodiments may include using different types of sensors, varying the design of the absorbent element, or integrating the system with existing ventilation systems. Variations may include using the system in different environments, such as industrial or agricultural settings, or developing portable versions for personal air quality monitoring.

The air quality monitoring and control system has significant commercial potential in various industries, including smart homes, wearable technology, and environmental monitoring. The system can be marketed as a standalone product or integrated into existing systems, offering a unique solution for real-time air quality monitoring and control.
