Smell search method and scent search system

摘要

Search for odors that can be obtained by mixing different odors, or odors that can be mixed with a specific odor to obtain the desired odor. By showing a unique adsorption reaction for each different odorant, a plurality of sensor elements that output detection signals according to the adsorption status and a plurality of odor information by digitizing the detection signals from the plurality of sensor elements. This is an odor search method for searching for odors based on a plurality of odor information generated by using an arithmetic device for generating odors. A detection step of detecting a first gas containing a plurality of odorants with a plurality of sensor elements, a generation step of generating a first odor information group generated based on the detection result of the first gas, and a second gas. The sum or difference between the preparatory step for preparing the second odor information group generated based on the detection result and the second odor information group and the first odor information group is the odor information generated using the same sensor element. It has a calculation step calculated based on the sum or difference between the two. [Selection diagram] Fig. 1
