It seem's Motorola has plans for a cell phone that creates a scent. Last month, Motorola received a patent for a "Communication device having a scent release feature and method thereof." The patent claims the replaceable scent pack is heated using the cell phone battery to heat it to 54 degrees Celsius. The unit will have a stronger smell than other local odors. |  |
The abstract of the patent is:
"A communication device such as a cellular telephone includes a heat-generating device that generates heat energy. In thermal proximity to the heat-generating device is a scent package that includes a scented substance that is activated by the heat generated by the heat-generating device. In one embodiment of the invention, the heat-generating device is a power amplifier. In another embodiment of the invention, a method of providing a scent in a communication device comprises providing a heat-generating device and placing a scent package in thermal proximity to the heat-generating device. The heat-generating device can be a power amplifier used by the communication device, or other electrical circuit found in the communication device."
