Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization terminal technology, specifically to an electronic atomization terminal control method and an electronic atomization terminal control system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the locking state of e-cigarette devices is typically controlled by a lock switch button or by the inhalation sensor in the microphone. After production, e-cigarettes usually need to be transported a certain distance before reaching the user. During transportation, if a lock switch button is used, it is easily triggered by collisions during transport, leading to accidental activation. If the microphone inhalation sensor is used, it is easily triggered by compression during transport, causing the e-cigarette to be falsely locked. This compromises the safety of the e-cigarette during transport and can lead users to mistakenly believe that the e-cigarette has been used, severely impacting the user experience. Furthermore, both methods require a longer locking time, affecting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Furthermore, the electronic atomizing terminal control method also includes: when the electronic atomizing terminal receives an initial lock signal input from an external device, the electronic atomizing terminal sends feedback to the external device indicating that the initial lock signal was successfully received, thereby stopping the external device from continuing to input lock power-off switching information.

[0007] Furthermore, the electronic atomizing terminal receives cyclically input power-off switching information from external devices, specifically including: the electronic atomizing terminal receiving a power supply signal input from an external device for a first duration, and then switching to the electronic atomizing terminal receiving a signal input from an external device for a second duration that does not contain a power supply signal; wherein, each power-off switching information includes a power supply signal input for a first duration and a signal input for a second duration that does not contain a power supply signal.

[0009] Furthermore, the method for the electronic atomizing terminal to receive an unlock signal input from an external device specifically includes: the electronic atomizing terminal receiving unlock power-off switching information cyclically input from the external device; when the number of times the electronic atomizing terminal receives the unlock power-off switching information reaches a second preset number, the electronic atomizing terminal receives an unlock signal.

[0010] Furthermore, the electronic atomizing terminal control method also includes: when the electronic atomizing terminal receives an unlock signal input from an external device, the electronic atomizing terminal sends feedback to the external device indicating that the unlock signal has been successfully received, so as to stop the external device from continuing to input unlock power-off switching information.

[0011] Furthermore, the electronic atomizing terminal receives cyclically input unlock / power-off switching information from an external device, specifically including: the electronic atomizing terminal receiving a power supply signal input from the external device for a continuous third duration, followed by the electronic atomizing terminal receiving a signal input from the external device for a continuous fourth duration without a power supply signal; wherein, each unlock / power-off switching message includes an input of a power supply signal for a continuous third duration and an input of a signal without a power supply signal for a continuous fourth duration. Furthermore, when the electronic atomizing terminal has switched from an initial locked state to an unlocked / enabled state, the electronic atomizing terminal, controlled by the lock button switch, switches from the unlocked / enabled state to a normal locked state, or vice versa.

[0012] An electronic atomizing terminal control system is characterized in that the electronic atomizing terminal control system comprises: an electronic atomizing terminal, including a battery device, a signal recognition and control device, and a first interface; wherein, the battery device is used to power the electronic atomizing terminal; the first interface is used to enable the electronic atomizing terminal to receive signals input from an external device; the signal recognition and control device is used to recognize the signals received through the first interface, thereby controlling the state of the electronic atomizing terminal to enter an initial locked state, or to switch from the initial locked state to an unlocked and enabled state; an external device, including a signal output device and a second interface; wherein, the signal output device is used to output a signal for switching the state of the electronic atomizing terminal; the second interface is used to enable the signal output by the signal output device for switching the state of the electronic atomizing terminal to be output to the electronic atomizing terminal.

[0013] Furthermore, the electronic atomizing terminal also includes a lock button switch, which is used to receive lock button operations and convert the lock button operations into lock button signals and transmit them to the signal recognition device; the signal recognition control device is also used to recognize the lock button signals transmitted by the lock button switch, and control the state of the electronic atomizing terminal to switch from the unlocked and enabled state to the normal locked state, or from the normal locked state to the unlocked and enabled state, according to the lock button signals.

Compared to the commonly used button-locking or mouthpiece-locking methods that require a longer locking time during the manufacturing process, this application uses external equipment to adjust the electronic atomizing terminal, enabling it to enter the initial locking state more quickly.

Furthermore, based on this technical solution that requires external equipment to assist the electronic atomizing terminal in entering the initial locking state or unlocking, it effectively avoids the possibility of accidental triggering of the electronic atomizing terminal due to collisions or squeezing during transportation. Compared to the commonly used button unlocking and mouthpiece-locking methods, the probability of accidental triggering is low, the safety is high, and it allows users to intuitively perceive the electronic atomizing terminal as a brand-new, unused product, thus optimizing the user experience.

[0019] The electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in this application aims to offer a safer, less environmentally-insensitive, and more stable control method for controlling the electronic atomizing terminal to enter its initial locked state after leaving the factory. This ensures that the electronic atomizing terminal is not accidentally triggered by external environmental impacts or pressure during transportation, avoiding the increase in safety risks during transportation due to factors such as e-liquid and battery power supply after the electronic atomizing terminal is accidentally triggered and enters the activated state. This reduces the accident rate during transportation, ensures the transportation safety of the electronic atomizing terminal, and allows users to determine whether the electronic atomizing terminal has been used by identifying whether it is in the initial locked state, thus optimizing the user experience.

[0020] The electronic atomizing terminal described in this application refers to an atomizing terminal that has the function of atomizing liquid and providing the atomized liquid to the user for inhalation.

[0021] The first embodiment of this application provides an electronic atomization terminal control method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: the electronic atomizing terminal receiving an initial locking signal input from an external device, and the electronic atomizing terminal entering an initial locking state based on the initial locking signal. The external device refers to a device capable of directly or indirectly transmitting the initial locking signal to the electronic atomizing terminal. It should be noted that the initial locking state refers to the locking state that the manufacturer adjusts the electronic atomizing terminal to enter before it leaves the factory; this initial locking state differs from the regular locking state of the electronic atomizing terminal during daily use by the user. When the electronic atomizing terminal is in the initial locking state, it will not be accidentally triggered during transportation. The electronic atomizing terminal requires activation by an external device to unlock. Compared to the commonly used button unlocking and mouthpiece inhalation unlocking, the probability of accidental triggering is low, security is high, and it allows the user to intuitively perceive the electronic atomizing terminal as a brand new, unused product, thus optimizing the user experience. The electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in the first embodiment of this application adjusts the electronic atomizing terminal to an initial locked state by inputting an initial locking signal from an external device. Compared with the commonly used locking methods triggered by buttons or microphone inhalation, this embodiment, by inputting an initial locking signal from an external device, enables the electronic atomizing terminal to enter the initial locked state more quickly, shortens the time required for factory locking of the electronic atomizing terminal, optimizes the factory locking process of the electronic atomizing terminal, improves the production efficiency of the electronic atomizing terminal, and effectively solves the safety problem of electronic atomizing terminals being easily triggered by collisions during transportation, making them less prone to accidental triggering and ensuring transportation safety.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic atomizing terminal receives the initial lock signal input from an external device in a manner that may include, but is not limited to: connecting the power supply device to the electronic atomizing terminal using a Universal Serial Bus (USB); controlling the power supply device to transmit the initial lock signal to the electronic atomizing terminal via the USB; and controlling the electronic atomizing terminal to enter the initial lock state based on the initial lock signal; wherein, the USB refers to a USB bus, which has advantages such as simple power supply, power supply via the bus, convenient installation and configuration, and support for plug-and-play and hot-plugging; the power supply device transmits the initial lock signal to the electronic atomizing terminal via the USB to enable the electronic atomizing terminal to enter the initial lock state.

[0023] In the electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in the second embodiment of this application, the step of the method for the electronic atomizing terminal to receive an initial lock signal input from an external device is specifically defined as follows: the electronic atomizing terminal receives lock power-off switching information cyclically input from the external device; when the number of times the electronic atomizing terminal receives the lock power-off switching information reaches a first preset number, the electronic atomizing terminal receives the initial lock signal. Specifically, in this embodiment, the electronic atomizing terminal determines whether it has received the initial lock signal by identifying whether the number of times the lock power-off switching information is executed reaches the first preset number. When the number of times the lock power-off switching information is executed reaches the first preset number, the electronic atomizing terminal identifies that it has received the initial lock signal, and the electronic atomizing terminal adjusts its state to the initial lock state based on the initial lock signal. The first preset number is a pre-set value used to limit the number of times the power-on / off switching information for locking the device is executed cyclically. This is to ensure that the e-vapor terminal needs to recognize a sufficient number of power-on / off switching information before entering the initial locking state, and to prevent accidental switching of the initial locking state. The first preset number is limited and can be set to, but is not limited to, 5, 8, 9, 10, 15, etc. This ensures that the e-vapor terminal is not easily switched to the wrong state while shortening the time required for each e-vapor terminal to enter the initial locking state, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of e-vapor terminals.

[0024] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, the electronic atomizing terminal may fail to accurately identify the number of times the external device cyclically inputs the lock-up power-off switching information to the electronic atomizing terminal. The electronic atomizing terminal is controlled to send feedback to the external device indicating successful initial lock-up signal recognition when the number of cyclic inputs of the lock-up power-off switching information reaches a first preset number. This ensures that the external device stops transmitting lock-up power-off switching information to the electronic atomizing terminal after receiving the successful initial lock-up signal recognition information. This avoids a situation where the electronic atomizing terminal fails to accurately identify the number of times the lock-up power-off switching information is received, resulting in the electronic atomizing terminal not yet entering the initial lock-up state while the external device has already stopped transmitting lock-up power-off switching information to the electronic atomizing terminal. This ensures that every electronic atomizing terminal enters the initial lock-up state upon leaving the factory.

[0025] In the electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in the third embodiment of this application, the electronic atomizing terminal receives lock / power-off switching information cyclically input by an external device. Specifically, this includes: the external device transmitting a power supply signal to the electronic atomizing terminal for a first duration, and then the external device switching to stopping transmitting the power supply signal to the electronic atomizing terminal for a second duration; equivalently, the electronic atomizing terminal receives a power supply signal input by the external device for a first duration, and then switches to receiving a signal input by the external device for a second duration that does not contain a power supply signal. The first duration and the second duration can be, but are not limited to, the same duration or different durations. The duration of the first duration is limited by the detection and reception speed of the power supply signal by the electronic atomizing terminal. When the electronic atomizing terminal can only detect a signal with a duration of at least 1ms at the fastest, the first duration needs to be set to a time length greater than or equal to 1ms so that the electronic atomizing terminal can accurately identify the lock / power-off switching information. The difference between the first duration setting and the second duration setting is that the power supply signal transmission is stopped for a second duration in the power-on / off switching information of the device lock. This is to enable the electronic atomizing terminal to more accurately distinguish each power-on / off switching information of the device lock, so as to accurately calculate the number of times the power supply signal is transmitted for the first duration. Therefore, the duration setting of the second duration is not limited by the detection and reception speed of the power supply signal of the electronic atomizing terminal.

[0026] It should be noted that a single power-on / off switching message includes: a power supply signal input lasting for a first duration and a signal input lasting for a second duration without a power supply signal. Understandably, when an external device cyclically inputs power-on / off switching messages to the e-vapor terminal a first preset number of times, the first preset number of power-on / off switching messages should include: the transmission of a power supply signal lasting for a first duration and a signal transmission lasting for a first duration without a power supply signal in the first power-on / off switching message; the transmission of a power supply signal lasting for a second duration and a signal transmission lasting for a second duration without a power supply signal in the second power-on / off switching message; ... the transmission of a power supply signal lasting for a first preset number of times and a signal transmission lasting for a first preset number of times without a power supply signal in the first preset number of power-on / off switching messages. In this application, the electronic atomizing terminal uses the transmission of a power supply signal lasting for a first duration in the lock-up power supply switching information as the identification mark of one lock-up power supply switching information. Therefore, when the electronic atomizing terminal receives the power supply signal lasting for a first duration for the first preset number of transmissions, the electronic atomizing terminal confirms that it has received the lock-up power supply switching information for the first preset number of times. At this time, the electronic atomizing terminal can send feedback to the external device to indicate that the initial lock-up signal recognition was successful, so that the external device stops transmitting the lock-up power supply switching information to the electronic atomizing terminal.

[0027] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, the external device may be, but is not limited to, a charging adapter, a power bank, a large power supply device, or other devices capable of transmitting power supply signals to the electronic atomization terminal.

[0028] The fourth embodiment of this application provides an electronic atomizing terminal control method, which, compared to the above embodiments, further includes: the electronic atomizing terminal receiving an unlock signal input from an external device, and switching the electronic atomizing terminal from an initial locked state to an unlocked and enabled state based on the unlock signal. It should be noted that the external device transmitting the unlock signal to the electronic atomizing terminal and the external device transmitting the initial locked signal to the electronic atomizing terminal can be the same or different external devices, both of which have the function of transmitting signals to the electronic atomizing terminal. Specifically, this embodiment limits the unlocking method of the electronic atomizing terminal in the initial locked state to requiring an external device to transmit an unlock signal to the electronic atomizing terminal. Compared to the prior art's technology that uses an unlock button or microphone inhalation to generate an unlock signal, this avoids the electronic atomizing terminal being accidentally unlocked due to collisions or squeezing during transmission, thus reducing the transportation insecurity of the electronic atomizing terminal.

[0029] The electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in the fifth embodiment of this application includes a method for the electronic atomizing terminal to receive an unlock signal input from an external device. Specifically, the electronic atomizing terminal receives unlock power-off switching information cyclically input from the external device. When the number of times the electronic atomizing terminal receives the unlock power-off switching information reaches a second preset number, the electronic atomizing terminal receives an unlock signal. It should be noted that the second preset number is a pre-set value used to limit the number of times the unlock power-off switching information is received cyclically. The second preset number can be set to, but is not limited to, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 15, or other limited numbers, to ensure that the electronic atomizing terminal can successfully enter the unlocked state only after receiving the unlock power-off switching information a sufficient number of times, effectively preventing the electronic atomizing terminal from mistakenly locking due to environmental influences.

[0030] In the electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in the sixth embodiment of this application, since some electronic atomizing terminals may fail to accurately identify the number of times the unlocking power supply / disconnection switching information is cyclically transmitted from the external device to the electronic atomizing terminal, compared with the above embodiments, the electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in this embodiment further includes: when the electronic atomizing terminal identifies an unlocking signal, the electronic atomizing terminal sends feedback information that the unlocking signal has been successfully received to the external device that transmits the unlocking signal; the external device receives the information that the unlocking signal has been successfully identified from the feedback of the electronic atomizing terminal; and the power supply device stops transmitting unlocking power supply / disconnection switching information to the electronic atomizing terminal based on this information. It should be noted that the timing of the electronic atomizing terminal's feedback of successful unlock signal recognition to the external device depends on the timing of the electronic atomizing terminal's recognition of the received unlock signal. This recognition depends on the timing of the electronic atomizing terminal's statistical analysis of the number of times it receives unlock power-off switching information. This statistical analysis can be, but is not limited to, the end of each unlock power-off switching message reception, or the timing corresponding to a specific signal node during the reception process. Therefore, the electronic atomizing terminal may successfully recognize the unlock signal during the second preset number of unlock power-off switching message receptions, causing the power supply device to stop execution before the second preset number of unlock power-off switching messages is received. The electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in this application solves the problem that some electronic atomizing terminals fail to accurately recognize the number of times they receive unlock power-off switching information, potentially leading to external devices ending the transmission of unlock power-off switching information before the electronic atomizing terminal has switched from the initial locked state to the unlock enabled state. This ensures that the electronic atomizing terminal can smoothly switch from the initial locked state to the unlock enabled state.

[0031] In the electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in the seventh embodiment of this application, the electronic atomizing terminal receives unlocking power-off switching information cyclically input by an external device. Specifically, this includes: the external device continuously transmitting a power supply signal to the electronic atomizing terminal for a third duration, and then the power supply device switching to stop transmitting the power supply signal to the electronic atomizing terminal for a fourth duration; equivalently, the electronic atomizing terminal receives a power supply signal input by the external device for a continuous third duration, and then switches to receiving a signal input by the external device for a continuous fourth duration that does not contain a power supply signal; wherein, the third duration and the fourth duration can be, but are not limited to, the same duration or different durations. The duration setting of the third duration is limited by the detection and reception speed of the power supply signal by the electronic atomizing terminal. When the electronic atomizing terminal can only detect a signal with a duration of at least 1ms at the fastest, the third duration needs to be set to a time length greater than or equal to 1ms so that the electronic atomizing terminal can accurately identify the reception of the unlocking power-off switching information.

[0032] It should be noted that the third duration must be different from the first duration in the aforementioned embodiment's power-on / off switching information for locking / unlocking. This allows the e-cigarette terminal to distinguish between the duration of the power supply signal as the first or third duration and record the power supply signal as either a reception of power-on / off switching information for locking or unlocking. Unlike the first and third durations, the fourth duration of signal transmission (excluding the power supply signal) in the unlocking power supply switching procedure is designed to enable the e-cigarette terminal to more accurately distinguish each transmission of unlocking power-on / off switching information and precisely calculate the number of times the power supply signal for the third duration is received. Therefore, the fourth duration is not limited by the e-cigarette terminal's detection and reception speed of the power supply signal, and the fourth duration can be, but is not limited to, the same as or different from the first, second, or third duration.

[0033] It should be noted that a single unlocking power supply / disconnection switching message includes: a power supply signal input lasting for a third duration and a signal input not containing a power supply signal lasting for a fourth duration. Understandably, when an external device cyclically transmits unlocking power supply / disconnection switching messages a second preset number of times to the electronic atomizing terminal, the second preset number of unlocking power supply / disconnection switching messages should include: the execution of the first unlocking power supply / disconnection switching message includes the transmission of a power supply signal lasting for a first duration of three hours and the transmission of a signal not containing a power supply signal lasting for a first duration of four hours; the execution of the second unlocking power supply / disconnection switching message includes the transmission of a power supply signal lasting for a second duration of three hours and the transmission of a signal not containing a power supply signal lasting for a second duration of four hours... the execution of the second preset number of unlocking power supply / disconnection switching messages includes the transmission of a power supply signal lasting for a second preset number of three hours and the transmission of a signal not containing a power supply signal lasting for a second preset number of four hours. In this application, the electronic atomizing terminal uses the transmission of a power supply signal lasting for a third duration in the unlock power supply switching information as an identification mark for one unlock power supply switching information. Therefore, when the electronic atomizing terminal receives the power supply signal lasting for a third duration for the second preset number of transmissions, the electronic atomizing terminal confirms that the unlock power supply switching information has been executed for the second preset number of times. At this time, the electronic atomizing terminal sends feedback to the external device that the unlock signal recognition was successful, causing the external device to stop transmitting the unlock power supply switching information to the electronic atomizing terminal.

[0034] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, the power supply / disconnection switching information for locking may involve first performing a signal transmission without a power supply signal for a second duration, followed by performing a power supply signal transmission for a first duration. In some embodiments of this application, the power supply / disconnection switching information for unlocking may involve first performing a signal transmission without a power supply signal for a fourth duration, followed by performing a power supply signal transmission for a third duration. It should be noted that the order in which the power supply signal is transmitted and stopped does not affect the electronic atomizing terminal's ability to determine whether the executed program is the power supply / disconnection switching information for locking or unlocking by identifying the duration of the power supply signal.

[0035] In the electronic atomizing terminal control method provided in the eighth embodiment of this application, after the electronic atomizing terminal has been switched from the initial locked state to the unlocked and enabled state, it can be understood that the electronic atomizing terminal has been transported from the initial locked state at the factory to the user's hands. After the user switches the electronic atomizing terminal from the initial locked state to the unlocked and enabled state, it means that the probability of the electronic atomizing terminal being accidentally triggered by environmental collision or pressure is reduced. In this state, this embodiment configures the electronic atomizing terminal to be controllable by the lock button switch. When the lock button switch receives a button operation, the electronic atomizing terminal switches from the unlocked and enabled state to the normal locked state, or from the normal locked state to the unlocked and enabled state. It should be noted that there is a difference between the regular lock state and the initial lock state. The initial lock state is mainly configured for the e-cigarette terminal when the probability of accidental triggering during transportation after leaving the factory is relatively high. Therefore, locking and unlocking in the initial lock state requires the assistance of external devices. On the other hand, the regular lock state is mainly configured for the e-cigarette terminal when the probability of accidental triggering after being turned on and used by the user is relatively low. Locking and unlocking in the regular lock state can be controlled by button operation received by the lock button switch, which is more convenient for users to switch between locking and unlocking the e-cigarette terminal.

[0036] The ninth embodiment of this application provides an electronic atomization terminal control system, comprising at least an electronic atomization terminal and an external device. Signal and information transmission exists between the electronic atomization terminal and the external device, enabling the electronic atomization terminal to adjust its own state according to the signals transmitted by the external device.

[0037] Specifically, the electronic atomizing terminal includes at least: a battery device, a signal recognition and control device, and a first interface; wherein, the battery device is used to power the electronic atomizing terminal; the first interface is used to enable the electronic atomizing terminal to receive signals and information transmitted by external devices; the signal recognition and control device is used to identify the signals received through the first interface, and based on the identification result, control the state of the electronic atomizing terminal to enter an initial locked state, or switch from the initial locked state to an unlocked and enabled state. It should be noted that the electronic atomizing terminal is a dual-power supply device, which can be powered by the battery device and can also receive power signals transmitted by external power supply devices through the first interface; when the electronic atomizing terminal fails to receive a power signal transmitted by an external device through the first interface, the battery device acts as the primary power supply device for the electronic atomizing terminal; conversely, when the electronic atomizing terminal receives a power signal transmitted by an external device through the first interface, the external device acts as the primary power supply device for the electronic atomizing terminal, while retaining the power in the battery device.

[0038] Specifically, the external device includes at least: a signal output device and a second interface; wherein, the signal output device is used to control the switching of the state of the electronic atomizing terminal; the signal output by the signal output device may be, but is not limited to, a power supply signal that lasts for a certain period of time; the second interface is used to enable the signal output by the signal output device for switching the state of the electronic atomizing terminal to be transmitted to the electronic atomizing terminal.

[0039] The electronic atomizing terminal control system provided in this embodiment can control the switching of the electronic atomizing terminal's state based on external devices such as a universal serial bus and power supply equipment, reduce the false trigger rate of electronic atomizing terminal state switching, ensure the stability of the electronic atomizing terminal's state during factory transportation, and improve the transportation safety of electronic atomizing terminals.

[0040] In the electronic atomizing terminal control system provided in the tenth embodiment of this application, the electronic atomizing terminal further includes: a lock button switch, used to receive the user's lock button operation, and convert the received lock button operation into a lock button signal and transmit it to a signal recognition device; based on the lock button switch, the signal recognition device is also used to recognize the lock button signal transmitted by the lock button switch, and control the state of the electronic atomizing terminal according to the lock button signal. Specifically, the lock button signal controlling the state of the electronic atomizing terminal can be, but is not limited to, controlling the state of the electronic atomizing terminal to switch from an unlocked and enabled state to a normal locked state, or controlling the state of the electronic atomizing terminal to switch from a normal locked state to an unlocked and enabled state.

[0041] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application. The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
