It is expected that odor sensors can be applied to the deodorization or
the modulation of odors to make comfortable living space. Even if odor
sensors can detect kinds and concentrations of odors, the odor preferences
are very different according to various characteristics of the residents.
The analysis of the resident's preferences of various odors is needed
for this application. Firstly, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is
applied to the preference analysis. It is shown that the weights calculated
by the AHP can be considered as degrees of the resident's preferences
or dislikes of odors. Furthermore, a model by using the dynamic judgments
in the AHP is proposed to express the olfactory adaptation of the resident
as changes of preferences. Because the residents have different adaptation-time
respectively, the proposed model is expected to be effective in the field
of system control for odors based on characteristics of individuals
