Thus, the features defined as "first", "second" and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0018] The communication control method of the high-voltage generating device proposed in the following embodiment can be applied to the controller in the high-voltage generating device. The high-voltage generating device also includes a high-voltage generator and a communication module connected to the controller. The high-voltage generating device can be a non-lethal high-voltage generating device used to subdue a target, such as an electric baton or an electric shock incapacitator. The high-voltage generator is used to generate high-voltage pulses. The high-voltage pulses can be high-intensity broadband electromagnetic waves generated by high-voltage arcs. The high-voltage generator can usually generate 15-25 high-voltage pulses with a voltage of tens to hundreds of thousands of kilowatts per second. After the high-voltage pulse current flows through the target body, it suppresses the target body's neural units, thereby controlling the target body to be unable to move, causing the target body to lose the ability to move. After hitting the target body, the controller usually needs to collect current usage data and upload the usage data to an external device (for example, a server) through the communication module, so that the actual usage status of the high-voltage generating device can be monitored by the server side, and whether the high-voltage generating device is abused based on the actual usage status, so that the high-voltage generating device can be remotely controlled to prevent it from being robbed and abused.

[0019] However, at present, when the high-voltage generating device is working, high-intensity broadband electromagnetic waves can easily interfere with the normal operation of the communication module, thereby affecting data transmission and the communication quality of the high-voltage generating device, making it impossible for the server to receive accurate and complete device usage data, and thus unable to achieve safe and effective monitoring of the high-voltage generating device; in order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a communication control method for a high-voltage generating device, which is introduced in detail below.

[0020] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a communication control method for a high-voltage generating device provided by the present application, wherein the communication control method comprises:

[0021] Step 11: Obtain the pulse timing of the high voltage pulse of the high voltage generator.

[0022] The pulse timing of the high-voltage pulses of the high-voltage generator can be obtained; wherein the pulse timing includes the emission time of each high-voltage pulse and the pulse interval, and the pulse interval is the time interval between two adjacent high-voltage pulses.

[0023] Step 12: Receive communication data from the high voltage generator.

[0024] The controller can receive communication data from the high-voltage generator. Specifically, the high-voltage generator can output communication data to the controller at any time while in operation, or feed back communication data to the controller in response to a start signal from the controller, or feed back communication data to the controller once after each high-voltage pulse output, without limitation. The communication data can include operating status data of the high-voltage generator, such as the voltage value or frequency of the high-voltage pulses.

[0025] Step 13: Transmit the communication data to the communication module, and control the communication module to send the communication data only during the pulse interval.

[0026] After receiving the communication data, the controller can transmit the communication data to the communication module and control the communication module to send the communication data only at the pulse interval, so that no data transmission is performed when the high-voltage generator generates a high-voltage pulse, so as to avoid the high-intensity broadband electromagnetic waves generated by the high-voltage generator during operation from interfering with the communication of the communication module, thereby ensuring the transmission quality of the communication data and improving the communication quality of the high-voltage generating device.

[0027] This embodiment obtains the pulse timing of the high-voltage pulse of the high-voltage generator, receives communication data from the high-voltage generator, and transmits the communication data to the communication module. By controlling the communication module to send communication data only at pulse intervals, the communication module and the high-voltage generator work in time-sharing mode. When the high-voltage generator generates a high-voltage pulse, no data transmission is performed, thereby avoiding interference with the communication of the communication module caused by the high-intensity broadband electromagnetic waves generated by the high-voltage generator during operation, thereby ensuring the transmission quality of the communication data, improving the communication quality of the high-voltage generating device, and further ensuring accurate monitoring of the server side.

[0028] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of another embodiment of a communication control method for a high-voltage generating device provided by the present application, the method comprising:

[0029] Step 21: Obtain the pulse timing of the high voltage pulse of the high voltage generator.

[0030] Step 21 is the same as step 11 in the above embodiment and is not limited here.

[0031] Step 22: Send an on signal to the high voltage generator.

[0032] The controller can be used to control the working status of each module and control the opening or closing of each module by outputting corresponding control signals; specifically, when the high-voltage generating device is turned on, it can output an opening signal to the high-voltage generator, wherein the opening signal is used to instruct the high-voltage generator to generate a high-voltage pulse and transmit communication data to the controller after the high-voltage pulse is generated.

[0033] It is understandable that in a specific embodiment, the controller may further output a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the high voltage generator to adjust the pulse timing and voltage value of the high voltage pulse of the high voltage generator.

[0034] Step 23: Receive communication data from the high voltage generator.

[0035] Step 23 is the same as step 12 in the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Step 24: Transmit the communication data to the communication module.

[0037] It can be understood that this embodiment is only explained by taking the communication data including the working status data of the high-voltage generator as an example. In other embodiments, the high-voltage generating device may also include other modules, such as a positioning module or a display module, etc. The controller may also receive the working status data fed back by each / part of the modules, and it may also transmit the working status data of each / part of the modules to the controller together, so as to transmit the working status data of each / part of the modules through the communication module, such as the location information or usage time of the high-voltage generating device, etc. The communication control method in this embodiment is applicable to the transmission of various communication data in the high-voltage generating device, and is not limited here.

[0038] Step 25: Determine whether the transmission duration of the communication data is greater than the pulse interval.

[0039] The controller can determine the transmission duration of the communication data according to the memory size of the received communication data, and then judge whether the transmission duration of the communication data is greater than the pulse interval to determine whether the current pulse interval is sufficient to transmit the entire communication data.

[0040] Step 26: In response to the transmission duration of the communication data being less than or equal to the pulse interval, controlling the communication module to send the communication data upon receiving the communication data.

[0041] When the transmission duration of the communication data is less than or equal to the pulse interval, it means that the current pulse interval is sufficient to transmit the entire communication data. Since the current pulse interval is sufficient to transmit the entire communication data, the communication module can be controlled to send communication data while receiving the communication data to ensure that the communication data is completely transmitted.

[0042] Step 27: When the high voltage generator generates a high voltage pulse, a transmission pause instruction is sent to the communication module.

[0043] The pause transmission instruction can be used to instruct the communication module to pause sending and receiving data; specifically, the pulse generation time when the high-voltage generator generates a high-voltage pulse can be determined based on the pulse timing, so that each time the high-voltage generator generates a high-voltage pulse, a pause transmission instruction is sent to the communication module to control the communication module to pause sending communication data, and also pause receiving data from the controller and / or external device, and then resume sending and receiving data at the beginning of the next pulse interval.

[0044] In a specific application scenario, you can use Figure 3 The working timing diagram of the high-voltage generator and the communication module shown is used to control the working time of the communication module and realize time-sharing operation of the communication module and the high-voltage generator; after the high-voltage generating device is turned on, the controller controls the communication module and the high-voltage generator to turn on, and controls the communication module to suspend communication with external devices during the time period of high-voltage pulse output, and resume communication within the pulse interval after the pulse output is completed. Since the high-voltage pulse generation time is short, usually within 200uS, and the pulse interval time is long, usually 50mS, a large amount of data can be effectively transmitted in the interval time period of the high-voltage pulse, avoiding the problem of communication failure.

[0045] Furthermore, considering that suspending the transmission of communication data may affect the integrity of the communication data, the transmission duration of the communication data and the pulse interval can be compared first to determine whether the communication data should be sub-packetized; specifically, it can be determined first whether the transmission duration of the communication data is greater than the pulse interval; in response to the transmission duration of the communication data being greater than the pulse interval, it means that the communication data cannot be completely transmitted within the pulse interval, then the communication data can be sub-packetized at this time, and the communication data can be divided into multiple data packets so that the transmission duration of each data packet is less than the pulse interval; thereby, the communication module can completely transmit at least one data packet within the current pulse interval, and continue to transmit the remaining data packets at the beginning of the next pulse interval, thereby preventing packet loss or data incoherence.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the high-voltage generating device may further include a human-computer interaction module and a power supply module connected to each module. The human-computer interaction module is configured to receive control instructions, and the power supply module is configured to supply power to each module. The device may also control the operating state of the corresponding module in response to the control instruction, receive response information from the module, obtain the module's operating state data based on the response information, and transmit the operating state data to the communication module. The control instruction may be a command input by a user through the human-computer interaction module. The control instruction may include a shutdown instruction or a power-on instruction. The module may be shut down in response to the shutdown instruction, or may be turned on in response to the power-on instruction.

[0047] In one embodiment, the controller may, in response to receiving a shutdown command, detect whether the communication module has unsent communication data; in response to the presence of unsent communication data, control the power supply module to continue to supply power to the communication module, so that the communication module continues to send the unsent communication data until the communication data is completely sent, and then control the power supply module to stop supplying power to the communication module to completely shut down the high-voltage generator. It is understood that the shutdown command received by the controller may be a control command received through the human-computer interaction module, or may be generated when the controller meets a preset shutdown condition, for example, controlling the high-voltage generator to automatically shut down after the high-voltage generator has been operating for one minute.

[0048] Furthermore, when there is unsent communication data, the power module can be controlled to continue supplying power to the communication module, while controlling the power module to stop supplying power to other modules; wherein, other modules may be modules other than the power module and the communication module, such as: controller, high-voltage generator or human-computer interaction module, etc. By shutting down other modules, energy consumption can be reduced without affecting the transmission of communication data, and the standby time of the power module can be improved.

[0049] This embodiment compares the transmission duration of communication data with the pulse interval. When the transmission duration of communication data is less than or equal to the pulse interval, the communication module is controlled to transmit the communication data upon receiving the communication data. Then, when the high-voltage generator generates a high-voltage pulse, a transmission pause instruction is sent to the communication module until the next pulse interval begins, and then the transmission and reception of data can be resumed. By controlling the working time of the communication module, the communication module and the high-voltage generator can be operated in a time-sharing manner, so that a large amount of data can be effectively transmitted during the interval between high-voltage pulses, thereby avoiding communication failure problems. At the same time, considering that suspending the transmission of communication data may affect the integrity of the communication data, the communication data can also be sub-packetized when the transmission duration of the communication data is greater than the pulse interval, dividing the communication data into multiple data packets, so that the communication module can completely transmit at least one data packet within the current pulse interval and continue to transmit the remaining data packets at the beginning of the next pulse interval, thereby preventing packet loss or data incoherence. In addition, when a shutdown command is received, it can determine whether the communication module has unsent communication data. When the communication module has unsent communication data, the power supply module is controlled to continue to supply power to the communication module and the power supply module is controlled to stop supplying power to other modules. This can reduce energy consumption and increase the standby time of the power supply module without affecting the transmission of communication data.
