[0015] The step of controlling the electronic cigarette device to enter a locked screen state includes:

[0016] If it is detected that the user performs a mode selection pressing operation on the electronic smoking device, a mode selection interface is displayed on the display screen of the electronic smoking device, wherein the mode selection interface includes a shutdown mode and a lock screen mode;

[0017] If the user's selection operation for the lock screen mode is detected, the step of controlling the electronic smoking device to enter the lock screen state is continued;

[0018] If it is detected that the user selects the shutdown mode, the shutdown standby state is entered.

[0019] The step of entering the shutdown standby state further includes:

[0020] If a preset shutdown operation of the user on the DIP switch is detected, the electronic smoking device is controlled to shut down.

[0050] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the ignition control method of the electronic cigarette device provided by the present invention. The ignition control method of the electronic cigarette device provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0052] S110. Detect whether the user of the current electronic smoking device performs a preset start-up operation on the dial switch. If the preset operation is detected, control the electronic smoking device to start up.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, there is an independently set dip switch on the electronic cigarette device. In a specific implementation scenario, the dip switch can be set as a two-position dip switch, that is, the two extreme movement positions of the dip (or described as a lever) are respectively the power-on position and the power-off position. The electronic cigarette device can be directly started by the dip switch, and the preset start operation described in step S110 can be the operation of the user to toggle the dip switch. In an implementable scenario, for the two extreme ends of the movement of the two-position dip switch, the left end can be set to the power-on position and the right end can be set to the power-off position. The start and shut down of the electronic cigarette device can be controlled by toggling the dip / lever between the left and right extreme positions.

[0054] In a specific implementation scenario, the user takes the electronic cigarette device that is in the off state, and moves the lever to the power-on position at the left end, generating a high level. The electronic cigarette device starts the power supply of the electronic cigarette device according to the level signal.

[0055] S120. After the electronic smoking device is successfully started, control the electronic smoking device to enter a lock screen state.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic smoking device can also be set to enter a lock screen state after being started, that is, the lock screen state after being turned on. When the user presses other buttons of the electronic smoking device, all buttons of the electronic smoking device including the conventional ignition button will not respond to the user operation.

[0057] In a specific implementation scenario, this step, i.e., the electronic cigarette device directly enters the lock screen state when it is turned on, can set a reference point for subsequent usage steps for the user of the electronic cigarette device, i.e., all subsequent operations start from the lock screen state, and first need to be unlocked through a series of operations. In a state of skilled use, or in scenes where visual observation is difficult, such as high-intensity lighting conditions, it is convenient for users to perform subsequent operations through touch.

[0058] S130. If it is detected that the user performs a preset unlocking operation on the DIP switch, the electronic smoking device is controlled to be unlocked.

[0059] Similar to the implementation scenario described in step S101, when the internal functional module of the electronic cigarette device determines that the current electronic cigarette device is powered on and in a locked screen state through the result of the user operating the dial switch, if the action of the dial switch is sensed again as a preset unlocking operation, it can be determined as an unlocking operation. In the corresponding usage scenario, the dial switch is the same as step S101, which is a two-position dial switch. In step S101, after the dial switch is moved to the power-on position by the user, the dial switch can automatically rebound to the power-off position and maintain the locked screen state in the power-on state. The above-mentioned unlocking operation can be that the user moves the dial (dial) of the two-position dial switch to the power-on position, and when it is detected that the dial (dial) of the two-position dial switch moves to the power-on position again, it indicates that the user has performed the unlocking operation, and the electronic cigarette device can be controlled to unlock. It can be understood that in this scenario, the power-off position is used as the lock screen position, and the power-on position is used as the unlocking position.

[0060] In other feasible scenarios, the above-mentioned code switch can also be set in the form of a three-position code switch, and the movement position of the code (dial) of the code switch includes left and right stop positions and a middle position. Preferably, the left and right movement limits of the code are defined as the left stop position and the right stop position respectively, the left stop position is defined as the start position, and the corresponding right stop position can be defined as the shutdown position. When the lever / code moves to this position, a high level of start is generated to start the electronic cigarette device. The code / dial itself has motion damping. When it is moved away from the middle position by the user, it can rely on inertial motion damping to move to the middle position and stay when the external force disappears, so that the user can grasp the reference point of the current position of the lever / code to perform subsequent operations. After being familiar with the form of the code switch, it is convenient for the user to operate only by touch, avoiding the situation in the existing actual use process that the visual positioning button needs to be visually positioned and the use needs to be suspended. During use, the user can first perform the suction action and directly operate the power on, ignoring the impact of the possible visual blind spot caused by the distance from the human eye.

[0061] S140. In the unlocked state, if the relevant module of the electronic smoking device detects that the user presses the ignition button on the electronic smoking device, the electronic smoking device is controlled to ignite. Here, the existing general ignition method will continue to be used, that is, the electronic smoking device can only be used by pressing the ignition button.

[0062] In the implementation scenario of this embodiment, an independent dip switch is introduced in conjunction with the ignition button of the existing electronic smoking device. An independent dip switch is set on the electronic smoking device, and in conjunction with the ignition button and ignition control algorithm of the smoking device itself, the existing operation of relying on multiple presses of the ignition button to complete locking / unlocking is changed, the operation steps are reduced, and the probability of misoperation is reduced.

[0063] At the same time, the solution of this embodiment can also maximize the use of users' existing usage habits, reduce users' learning costs, and while reducing the operating steps, it also reduces the frequency of use of the push-type ignition button in the current general electronic cigarette, thereby extending the overall service life of the electronic cigarette device.

[0064] In the current embodiment, the electronic cigarette device can automatically enter the lock screen state after being started. In another feasible implementation, after the electronic cigarette device is started, the user can choose whether to enter the lock screen state or the standby power off state, and the user can control the electronic cigarette device to switch between entering the lock screen state and entering the standby power off state. For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a flow chart of an embodiment of the ignition control method of the electronic cigarette device provided by the present invention.

[0065] S210. Detect whether the user of the current electronic cigarette device performs a preset start operation on the dial switch, which is the operation of toggling the dial switch, which is the same as in the first embodiment. If the preset start operation is detected, the electronic cigarette device is controlled to start.

[0066] S220. After the electronic smoking device is successfully started, detecting whether the user performs a mode selection pressing operation on the electronic smoking device, and if a pressing operation is detected, prompting the user.

[0067] In an implementation scenario of this embodiment, an independent display unit arranged on the surface of the electronic smoking device is used to provide a prompt, that is, to display a lock screen mode interface to notify the user that after performing the pressing operation, the electronic smoking device can enter the lock screen mode, so as to achieve the purpose of prompting the user and giving the user a choice.

[0068] In a feasible implementation, the above-mentioned mode selection pressing operation may be pressing the plus and minus keys and the ignition key at the same time.

[0069] In other implementation scenarios, vibration and / or sound (voice) prompts can be set inside the electronic cigarette device to remind the user that the current electronic cigarette device is waiting for further operation, replacing the lock screen mode interface notification. At the same time, a combination of lock screen mode interface notifications and vibration and sound can be used to help users establish usage habits. The lock screen mode notification method is set in the internal module of the electronic cigarette device for users to choose the habitual prompt method. In addition, the electronic cigarette device can be combined with the current remaining power of the electronic cigarette device at the same time, and the mode can be selected by the user or selected by the user. For example, when the power is higher than 60%, a mode of simultaneous reminder of the three (screen display, sound / voice, vibration) is adopted; when the power is between 30% and 60%, two prompt methods are selected.

[0070] After the lock screen mode interface is displayed, a waiting time threshold is preset, namely, the first time. In a specific implementation scenario, the first time is set to 2 seconds. Within the 2 seconds of the first time, the user's subsequent selection is continuously detected to determine the user's intention, so as to determine whether to enter the lock screen state or the standby shutdown state. In the implementation scenario of this embodiment, the subsequent user intention is determined by whether the user issues a mode selection pressing operation on the electronic cigarette device. It can be understood that the mode selection pressing operation can also be implemented by using other buttons of the electronic cigarette device, such as the ignition button commonly used in existing electronic cigarette devices to determine whether the user issues a mode selection pressing operation.

[0071] S230. If the mode selection pressing operation is not detected within the first time period, the user's usage intention is determined, the mode is selected as the lock screen mode, and the electronic smoking device is controlled to enter the lock screen state.

[0072] S240. If the mode selection pressing operation is detected again within the first time period, the shutdown mode interface is displayed, or a multi-mode (sound / vibration, etc.) user reminder is performed to perform subsequent operations as described above.

[0073] It is understandable that, in the scenario where the lock screen mode interface is displayed, the user can perform the mode selection pressing operation again within the first time period, so that the electronic cigarette device switches to the shutdown mode interface, so that the user can determine whether to enter the shutdown interface.

[0074] Furthermore, this embodiment can effectively deal with the scenario of user's mistaken triggering during use. When the user accidentally touches the electronic cigarette device to start, the user can be given a selection mode, so that the user can directly choose to enter the shutdown mode interface through a single press operation.

[0075] Another embodiment of the present invention corresponds to the subsequent steps of S240 in the above embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown: Set the second time length as the time threshold for subsequent judgment, which can be set within 2 seconds. Continue to detect the user's subsequent operations after entering the shutdown mode interface within the second time length (similarly, prompts can also be given through specific vibrations / sounds, such as a specific number of vibrations or sounds).

[0076] S310. After the shutdown mode interface is displayed in step S240, within the preset second time period, it is detected whether the user has the mode selection pressing operation (same as above, by detecting whether the ignition button and the plus and minus buttons are pressed simultaneously within the threshold time). If not detected, it indicates that the mode selected by the user is the shutdown mode, and the device can enter the standby shutdown state. In particular, in the scenario of this embodiment, it is emphasized that after no pressing operation is issued within the second time period, the electronic cigarette device does not enter the shutdown state, but enters the standby shutdown state. After entering the standby shutdown state, the user needs to perform the shutdown operation to achieve shutdown.

[0077] Furthermore, if the mode selection pressing operation is detected again within the preset second time period, the interface is switched to the lock screen mode interface, and the step of displaying the lock screen mode interface is returned to execute, so that after the electronic cigarette device is started, the user can select whether the electronic cigarette device needs to enter the lock screen state or the standby state by executing the mode selection pressing operation.

[0078] This embodiment can further clarify the user's intention, so that in the case of an erroneous startup, the device can be quickly shut down by mode selection.

[0079] It is understandable that the above description is about the state that the user needs to select the electronic smoking device through the mode selection pressing operation. In another feasible implementation, the display screen of the electronic smoking device can be a touch screen, and the mode selection can be achieved by performing related operations on the display screen.

[0080] One embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment corresponds to the aforementioned embodiment, after the electronic cigarette device is powered on step S110 and before entering the lock screen state step S120, the user's operation is detected between the two steps.

[0081] S410. After the electronic smoking device is started, if it is detected that the user performs a mode selection pressing operation on the electronic smoking device, a mode selection interface is displayed on the display screen of the electronic smoking device, and the mode selection interface includes a shutdown mode and a lock screen mode.

[0082] S420. If it is detected that the user has selected the lock screen mode, the electronic smoking device is controlled to enter the lock screen state;

[0083] S430: If the user's selection operation for the shutdown mode is detected, the shutdown standby state is entered.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, after the electronic cigarette device is started, the user can enter the mode selection interface through the mode selection pressing operation, and the mode selection pressing operation can be pressing the plus and minus keys and the ignition key at the same time. The mode selection interface will simultaneously display the rotary button corresponding to the shutdown mode and the rotary button corresponding to the lock screen mode. The user can click the selection button of the lock screen mode to select the lock screen mode, so that the electronic cigarette device enters the lock screen state. The user can also click the selection button of the shutdown mode to select the shutdown mode and enter the standby shutdown state. It should be noted that in order to avoid the electronic cigarette device from being shut down by mistake due to user misoperation, after the electronic cigarette device enters the standby shutdown state, the user also needs to perform a preset shutdown operation. The preset shutdown operation can be to move the dial (or lever) of the dial switch from the current position to another position in the standby shutdown state.

[0085] Through the configuration of this embodiment, after the electronic cigarette is turned on, the user can be provided with a further option of shutting down or locking the screen. After the electronic cigarette is accidentally triggered, an option of directly shutting down the electronic cigarette can be provided, thereby increasing the convenience of using the electronic cigarette device.

[0086] An embodiment of the present invention is described for the mode selection pressing operation in the aforementioned embodiments 1-4. As a preferred implementation, the mode pressing operation is set to simultaneously press the plus and minus keys and the ignition key that are usually provided on the electronic cigarette device, and after the electronic cigarette device enters the lock screen mode, it can further enter the lock screen enhancement mode, that is, each time the screen is locked and unlocked, it is necessary to press the plus and minus keys and the ignition key at the same time to enter the lock screen enhancement mode corresponding to the lock screen or unlock option, and it is necessary to move the dial switch within a predetermined time to take effect. That is to say, when the screen is locked in the lock screen enhancement mode, only moving the dial switch cannot unlock, other modes cannot be selected, and it cannot be directly switched to the power on / off mode on the screen. Instead, the above operation should be followed. First, the unlock option corresponding to the lock screen enhancement mode should be selected, and then the dial switch should be moved to unlock. After unlocking, the ignition key can be used normally, and it can also be switched to the power on / off mode normally later. When the lock screen enhanced mode is selected, even if children know that the dip switch can be unlocked, it is difficult for them to understand that they need to perform the above series of operations before they can complete the unlocking by dialing the dip switch. For users with children around them, using this mode can fully realize the function of the child lock. When the electronic cigarette device is in the lock screen state, pressing the ignition button cannot start the ignition function and it can only be unlocked by dialing the dip switch. This greatly reduces the probability of children accidentally inhaling.

[0087] On the one hand, the number of buttons corresponding to this operation is sufficient and has a certain degree of complexity, which can effectively prevent false triggering caused by too few buttons. At the same time, the physical buttons of existing electronic cigarette devices are utilized, which has a low learning cost for users and allows them to quickly get used to the operation. In addition, the multi-button setting mode is also closer to the lock screen mode of traditional mobile phones with physical buttons, reducing the difficulty of user use.

[0088] One embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 As shown, an ignition control device is applied to an electronic smoking device, and the electronic smoking device includes a dip switch. In a preferred embodiment, the device includes:

[0089] The first control module is used to control the electronic cigarette device to start up if it is detected that the user performs a preset start-up operation on the dial switch. In the implementation scenario, the dial switch is selected as a direct start-up instruction in the off state, and the electronic cigarette device can be started immediately during the user's use of the electronic cigarette, simplifying the lengthy start-up process of the existing electronic cigarette that requires pressing five times to ignite.

[0090] The second control module is used to control the electronic smoking device to enter a lock screen state after the electronic smoking device is successfully started. In the implementation scenario, the module may include an independently set display module.

[0091] The unlocking module is used to unlock the electronic cigarette device if it is detected that the user performs a preset unlocking operation on the dial switch. In the implementation scenario, the unlocking module includes the second control module including an ignition button and a plus-minus button (the plus-minus button in the implementation scenario can be an integral button including left and right sub-buttons, which can be set to left plus and right minus according to usage habits). This composite operation conforms to the button operation logic, which not only ensures the complexity of the button combination, but also facilitates user operation. The subsequent operation logic can be changed according to the needs to realize other combinations through subsequent circuit changes.

[0092] The third control module is used to control the ignition of the electronic smoking device if it is detected that the user performs an ignition operation on the ignition button on the electronic smoking device.

[0093] One embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, in one implementation scenario, the ignition control device can select Figure 5The device shown. It includes a capacitor C42, a SK-06 chip, a resistor R15, a resistor R19 and an external power supply. The SK-06 chip is connected to the dip switch. When the switch is turned to the 1st or 2nd position, the external power is discharged through the capacitor C42, so that the device starts and enters the aforementioned lock screen or the lock screen mode interface waiting for further operation by the user. When the dip switch is turned to the 2nd or 3rd position, the capacitor is discharged through the resistor R15, and at this time, it is in the off state. The device determines the toggle position of the dip switch by identifying the rotation states of pins 4 and 6 of the dip switch, thereby realizing the power on and off and the aforementioned lock screen state and mode selection state.

[0094] In terms of structural setting, the cross section of the DIP switch is as follows: Fig.11 As shown, it is a switch that moves in a direction perpendicular to the electronic cigarette device, and cooperates with the mainboard toggle device 242 to generate corresponding level signals at the two ends of the movement range of the toggle switch to control the start, shutdown and lock / unlock buttons of the electronic cigarette device.

[0095] In one embodiment of the present invention, in an implementable scenario, the electronic cigarette is as follows: Figure 7-15 As shown, it includes an electronic cigarette device body, and an air regulating ring 130 and an air inlet 120 of the electronic cigarette device are provided at the upper end of the electronic cigarette device. An anti-slip portion 110 is provided at the bottom of the electronic cigarette device, and a leather texture or leather coating can be preferably used. An ignition button 210, a touch display screen 220, a gain button 230, a dip switch 240 and an external power supply interface 250 (generally preferably a Type-C interface) are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the electronic cigarette device. A battery cover switch button 260 is provided at the bottom of the electronic cigarette device to control the opening and closing of the bottom battery compartment, and silicone pads 270 of corresponding shapes are provided around the battery compartment to maintain sealing and moisture-proof.

[0096] A further protective structure is provided for the dip switch 240. In an implementable scenario, as shown in the figure, a protective ring 310 is provided surrounding the dip switch 240. The protective ring has an opening 311. The length of the opening can be set wider than the overall length of the dip switch 240. Correspondingly, a corresponding groove 312 can be provided at a corresponding position of the housing of the electronic cigarette device to accommodate the protective ring 310. The protective ring 310 slides with the groove 312 and can rotate around the axis of the electronic cigarette device in the groove. In the daily carrying state (non-use state), the position of the opening 311 of the protective ring 310 can be fixed at a position facing away from the dip switch 240, that is, the dip switch 240 is covered by the protective ring 310. At this time, the dip switch 240 cannot be dialed; in the use state, the user can rotate the protective ring 310 so that the opening 311 rotates to the upper end of the dip switch 240, and the protective ring 310 no longer covers the dip switch 240. At this time, the dip switch 240 can be operated by the user.

[0097] Furthermore, the protective ring 310 and the groove 312 may be provided with a fixing structure such as a latch to limit the rotation angle of the protective ring 310. While effectively limiting the rotation angle of the protective ring 310, the user can rely on touch to sense whether the current protective ring 310 is rotated to the specified position (protection state / use state) during the rotation process, which is convenient for use; it can also be used as a child lock to prevent children from accidentally touching it. In an implementable scenario, the protective ring 310 can be provided between the anti-slip portion 110 and the housing of the electronic cigarette device, and the anti-slip portion 110 is used to limit the combination of the protective ring 310 and the groove 312.

[0098] By adopting the above-mentioned operation method, the existing button layout can be kept unchanged, and the modification of the shell is minimal, so the user's existing operation habits can be maintained to the greatest extent.

[0099] In other implementation scenarios, the protective structure can also be provided with a movable connected, arc-shaped hatch cover. Similar to the aforementioned embodiment, the surface of the electronic cigarette device shell is provided with a groove that matches the arc-shaped hatch cover, and one end of the arc-shaped hatch cover is connected to one side of the groove through a rotating shaft. One end of the arc-shaped hatch cover and the other side of the groove can be provided with a movable connection method such as a latch to achieve the opening and closing of the arc-shaped hatch cover.

[0100] In other implementation scenarios, the protective structure can also be pre-buried in the housing of the electronic cigarette device, and a push-pull protective cover is used. When the dip switch is needed, the protective cover is pushed and stored in the corresponding storage space of the housing corresponding to the electronic cigarette device. In the daily carrying state, the protective cover is pushed out of the storage space to cover the dip switch. In addition, the dip switch protection structure can also effectively prevent children from accidentally touching the dip switch, further reducing the possibility of children accidentally inhaling.

[0101] See also Fig.16 , Fig.16 20 is a schematic diagram of a storage medium according to an embodiment of the present invention. The storage medium 20 stores at least one computer program 21, which is executed by a processor to implement the following. Figure 1-4 In one embodiment, the storage medium 20 may be a storage chip, a hard disk, a mobile hard disk, a USB flash drive, an optical disk, or other readable and writable storage tools in the terminal, or a server, etc.

[0102] The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.
