According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A smart air curtain system (100) encompassed with an air curtain unit (102), positioned above a doorway, automatically activates wen the door opens, creating a barrier between indoor and outdoor airflow. A potentiometer (104), integrated into the door hinge, communicates with the air curtain unit (102) to regulate its operation based on degree of door opening. A scent dispersion unit (106), operating simultaneously to release fragrance into the indoor environment. A control unit (108) and regulatory module (110) process proportional signals from the potentiometer to adjust airflow and scent intensity, while a power management module (112) optimizes energy consumption by selecting appropriate operating modes. To maintain efficiency, a surface clearing section (114) with a wiper removes dust and debris from the system (100). A communication interface (116) coordinates signals among components, and a user interface (118) enables customization of scent, airflow, and mosquito prevention settings for residential or commercial applications."
