The present invention relates to a multi-modal artificial intelligence speaker, and more particularly, to a multi-modal artificial intelligence speaker combining a candle warmer and an artificial intelligence speaker and providing convenience to users by utilizing multi-modal visual, auditory and olfactory senses. .

In general, a candle warmer uses a light source that provides light that generates high heat, such as a halogen lamp, to irradiate light to a fragrance candle containing fragrance ingredients such as aroma, and melt the upper part of the candle through the irradiated luminous heat to melt the fragrance. It is a heating device that allows the ingredients to diffuse into the air and emit fragrance.

In addition, candle warmers are commonly used as interior accessories, and are particularly popular with consumers in the scented candle market. The candle warmer can provide psychological stability to users through its aromatherapy function.

The market and demand for candles are growing steadily. In the United States, 7 out of 10 households said that they had experienced incense candles. But on the other hand, there are also concerns. There is a steady increase in the number of users who experience side effects as artificial chemical fragrance and petroleum/chemical petroleum among the components of the candle spread in the air every time the wax is burned. There are studies that show that long-term use of air fresheners or candles in an enclosed space contaminates the air and can later act as a carcinogen.

Meanwhile, IT companies are rushing to enter the artificial intelligence (AI) speaker market. As the smart home market is activated through artificial intelligence speakers, the era of remote control by connecting all devices, including household appliances, to communication has arrived.
