[0059] The present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0060] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0061] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0062] Electronic atomization devices (also called e-cigarettes or e-cigarette accessories) are devices that simulate the smoking experience by heating the relevant aerosol-generating matrix (usually containing nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin and flavorings) to produce vapor. Compared with the smoke produced by traditional tobacco combustion, the vapor produced by electronic atomization devices contains fewer harmful substances, which makes them regarded as a healthier alternative. Due to their relatively low health risks and convenience, they have received widespread attention and use in recent years.

[0063] In the related art, after the existing electronic atomization device is started, the heating component will continuously heat the medium, adjust the heating temperature according to the user's suction frequency, and automatically shut down after reaching the preset working time. In actual applications, it is found that after the user starts the electronic atomization device, the use situation may be more complicated. For example, when the user temporarily handles something and does not use it, the heating component is still heating. When it is actually used, it is found that the working time of this heating is almost over, which is inconvenient to use and wastes related resources.

[0064] In view of this, an operation control method of an electronic atomization device is provided in an embodiment of the present application. After the electronic atomization device is started, the use status of the electronic atomization device is detected; according to the use status, the operation stage of the electronic atomization device is adjusted; wherein the types of operation stages include working stage and dormant stage; if the current electronic atomization device is in the working stage, the total working time of the electronic atomization device after this startup is detected; if the total working time is less than the preset first threshold time, return to execute the step of adjusting the operation stage of the electronic atomization device according to the use status; or, if the total working time is equal to the preset first threshold time, control the electronic atomization device to automatically shut down. The method can detect the use status of the electronic atomization device, automatically adjust the operation stage of the electronic atomization device according to the use status, and control the electronic atomization device to enter the dormant stage when the user suspends the use of the electronic atomization device, thereby reducing the resource loss of the electronic atomization device; and the method supports users to use the electronic atomization device intermittently, and controls the timing of the electronic atomization device entering automatic shutdown by accumulating the total working time after startup, which can better adapt to the actual needs of users and improve the user experience of the electronic atomization device.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram showing the implementation environment of an operation control method of an electronic atomization device provided in an embodiment of the present application. In an embodiment of the present application, the operation control method can be applied to Figure 1 In the electronic atomization device shown, for example, Figure 1 As shown, the electronic atomization device 10 may include a processor 110 and a memory 120. The operation control method in the embodiment of the present application may be stored in the memory 120 in the form of program codes, and the processor 110 may read and execute the program codes to implement the technical solution of the present application.

[0066] In the electronic atomization device 10, in addition to Figure 1 The processor 110 and memory 120 shown may also include other devices ( Figure 1(not shown), for example, it may include a battery, a heating component, an aerosol generating matrix receiving element, a control circuit, an airflow detection component, a sensor and a switch, etc., wherein the battery can provide the power required for the electronic atomization device, and the common types are built-in batteries and replaceable batteries. The heating component is the atomizer in the electronic atomization device, which is responsible for heating the relevant aerosol generating matrix to achieve atomization. The aerosol generating matrix receiving element can be used to place the aerosol generating matrix (such as a cigarette bomb). The control circuit can be used to manage the charging and discharging of the battery, the heating component and the overall working state of the device, and provide various safety functions (such as overheating protection, short circuit protection, etc.). The airflow detection component can be used to detect whether the user has a suction action. Sensors and switches are mainly responsible for detecting various working conditions of the equipment and controlling its operating state.

[0067] Of course, it is understandable that Figure 1 The implementation environment in the embodiment of the present application is only some optional application scenarios of the operation control method of the electronic atomization device provided in the embodiment of the present application, and the actual application is not fixed. Figure 1 The hardware and software environment shown.

[0068] Below, in combination with the introduction of the aforementioned implementation environment, an operation control method of an electronic atomization device provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced and explained.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram of an operation control method of an electronic atomization device provided in an embodiment of the present application, the operation control method of the electronic atomization device includes but is not limited to:

[0070] Step 210: After the electronic atomization device is started, detecting the use status of the electronic atomization device;

[0071] Step 220: adjusting the operation stage of the electronic atomization device according to the usage status; wherein the types of operation stages include working stage and dormant stage;

[0072] Step 230: If the current electronic atomization device is in the working stage, the total working time of the electronic atomization device after this startup is detected;

[0073] Step 240: If the total working time is less than the preset first threshold time, return to the step of adjusting the operating stage of the electronic atomization device according to the usage status; or, if the total working time is equal to the preset first threshold time, control the electronic atomization device to automatically shut down.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, a method for controlling the operation of an electronic atomization device is provided. The method can detect the usage status of the electronic atomization device, automatically adjust the operation stage of the electronic atomization device according to the usage status, and control the electronic atomization device to enter a sleep stage when the user suspends the use of the electronic atomization device, thereby reducing the resource loss of the electronic atomization device; and, the method supports the user to use the electronic atomization device intermittently, and controls the timing of the electronic atomization device entering automatic shutdown by accumulating the total working time after startup, which can better adapt to the actual needs of the user and improve the user experience of the electronic atomization device.

[0075] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, for the electronic atomization device, the user can start the electronic atomization device through the relevant trigger operation each time it is used. Exemplarily, for example, in some embodiments, relevant buttons can be set on the electronic atomization device, and the user can operate these buttons. In response to the user's button operation on the electronic atomization device, the electronic atomization device can be controlled to start from the shutdown state and enter the running state. In the embodiment of the present application, there is no restriction on the specific method of the key operation performed by the user. For example, in some embodiments, a power on / off button can be set on the electronic atomization device. If the current electronic atomization device is in the shutdown state, the user can click the power on / off button once to trigger the start of the electronic atomization device. Relatively speaking, if the current electronic atomization device is in the running state after startup, the user can also perform the shutdown operation through the power on / off button. This application does not limit this. In addition, in order to reduce the probability of user accidental touch, it can be set that the corresponding action is performed only when the user presses the button for a long time to reach the specified time. For example, if the current electronic atomization device is in the shutdown state, when the user presses for 2s, the electronic atomization device is turned on. In some embodiments, a plurality of buttons may be provided on the electronic atomization device. When the user presses some buttons simultaneously or in a predetermined order, the electronic atomization device starts from a shutdown state and enters a running state.

[0076] In some embodiments, the electronic atomization device may include a touch screen, and the user may perform corresponding interactive operations on the touch screen, such as touching, sliding, etc., to trigger the electronic atomization device to start. In the embodiments of the present application, the specific form of the interactive operation is not limited. In other embodiments, the electronic atomization device may also have a built-in voice recognition function. In this case, the user can control the start of the electronic atomization device by issuing voice commands to it. For example, the user can say "start the electronic atomization device" or "control the electronic atomization device to start up", etc. After the electronic atomization device receives the relevant voice command, it recognizes it through the built-in voice recognition function, thereby performing the corresponding action. The voice recognition algorithm used can be implemented based on existing technology, and this application will not go into details here.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, after the electronic atomization device is started, its use status can be detected. Here, the use status of the electronic atomization device refers to whether the electronic atomization device is in use by the user, which can be specifically divided into a state of use and a state of suspended use. For example, if the user's current puffing frequency is normal, then it can be judged that the electronic atomization device is in use. If it is found that the user has not puffed for a certain period of time after starting the electronic atomization device, it means that the electronic atomization device has not been used by the user. At this time, it is in a state of suspended use after startup.

[0078] According to the determined usage status, the operation stage of the electronic atomization device can be adjusted. In the embodiment of the present application, the types of operation stages of the electronic atomization device may include working stage and dormant stage, wherein the working stage refers to the stage in which the various components of the electronic atomization device are in an activated state, such as the heating component is performing a heating operation, and the related sensors are also in operation; the dormant stage refers to the stage in which most of the components of the electronic atomization device enter an inactive state, that is, the stage in which the operation is suspended. In the working stage, the electronic atomization device can be used normally, while in the dormant stage, the functions of the electronic atomization device will be restricted and cannot be used normally, and the user needs to reactivate it to the working stage before it can continue to be used.

[0079] It can be understood that when adjusting the operating stage of the electronic atomization device according to the usage status, if it is determined that the electronic atomization device is currently in the working stage, and the detected usage status is in use, then it can continue to operate in the working stage; if it is determined that the electronic atomization device is currently in the working stage, but the detected usage status is suspended, at this time, the operating stage of the electronic atomization device can be adjusted from the working stage to the dormant stage. When the electronic atomization device is in the dormant stage, the relevant sensors can also temporarily stop working. At this time, the usage status of the electronic atomization device can no longer be detected. The implementation method for the user to reactivate the electronic atomization device in the dormant stage to the working stage will be introduced in the following embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, if it is determined that the current electronic atomization device is in the working stage, then the total working time of the electronic atomization device after this startup can be detected, that is, the total time the electronic atomization device is in the working stage after this startup. For the total working time, a threshold can be pre-set, recorded as the first threshold time. For example, the first threshold time can be 4 minutes, that is, 240 seconds. Then, the total working time and the first threshold time can be compared. If the total working time is less than the preset first threshold time, the electronic atomization device can continue to work in the working stage, and the user can continue to use it normally. At this time, the step of detecting the use status of the electronic atomization device can be returned. Relatively speaking, if the total working time reaches the first threshold time, in order to ensure the safety of the use of the electronic atomization device (for example, to prevent dry burning after the use of the cigarette bomb), and to save the energy of the electronic atomization device, it can be automatically shut down.

[0081] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic atomization device is automatically shut down, when it is determined that the total working time is equal to the preset first threshold time, an alarm prompt sound can be output first to remind the user that the usage time after this startup has reached the preset maximum period, and then after the alarm prompt sound ends, the electronic atomization device is controlled to automatically shut down.

[0082] It can be understood that the operation control method of the electronic atomization device provided in the embodiment of the present application can detect the usage status of the electronic atomization device, automatically adjust the operation stage of the electronic atomization device according to the usage status, and control the electronic atomization device to enter the sleep stage when the user suspends the use of the electronic atomization device, thereby reducing the resource loss of the electronic atomization device; and, the method supports the user to use the electronic atomization device intermittently, and controls the timing of the electronic atomization device to automatically shut down by accumulating the total working time after startup, which can better adapt to the actual needs of the user and improve the user experience of the electronic atomization device.

[0083] Specifically, in some embodiments, the electronic atomization device includes an airflow detection component; Figure 3 , detect the usage status of electronic atomization equipment, including:

[0084] Detecting whether there is airflow flowing through the airway of the electronic atomization device by means of an airflow detection component;

[0085] If the airflow detection component detects that there is airflow flowing in the airway of the electronic atomization device, it is determined that the use status of the electronic atomization device is in use; or, if the airflow detection component does not detect that there is airflow flowing in the airway of the electronic atomization device within a preset second threshold time length, it is determined that the use status of the electronic atomization device is suspended.

[0086] As described above, the electronic atomization device in the embodiment of the present application may be provided with an airflow detection component, which can be used to detect whether the user has a suction action. Specifically, the airflow detection component can detect whether there is an airflow flowing through the airway of the electronic atomization device, thereby judging the user's suction action. For example, when the user inhales the electronic atomization device, an airflow will be generated in the airway of the electronic atomization device. The airflow detection component can detect the airflow and give the control circuit a relevant signal (such as a high-level signal), so that the electronic atomization device can determine that the user is taking a puff.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, when detecting the use status of the electronic atomization device, it is possible to detect whether there is an airflow flowing through the airway of the electronic atomization device through an airflow detection component. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the airflow detection component may include a microphone, and airflow detection in the airway of the electronic atomization device can be achieved based on the microphone. For example, it is pre-set that when the microphone detects the presence of an airflow flowing through the airway, it indicates that there is a suction action, and the level signal output by the microphone is a high level. When the microphone does not detect the airflow flowing through the airway, it indicates that there is no suction action, and the level signal output by the microphone is a low level. Therefore, it can be determined based on the result of the level signal whether the user has performed a suction action on the electronic atomization device.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, if it is found that the airflow detection component detects that there is an airflow flowing through the airway of the electronic atomization device, it can be considered that the current user is inhaling, and at this time, the use status of the electronic atomization device is in use. It should be pointed out that since there is a certain time interval between the suction action when the user uses the electronic atomization device, if the airflow flowing through the airway of the electronic atomization device is not detected at a certain moment, it cannot be directly determined that the use status of the electronic atomization device is suspended. This is likely that the user has just completed a suction action and has not yet performed the next suction action. Taking this situation into account, in the embodiment of the present application, it can be determined whether the user is using the electronic atomization device based on the time interval between the suction actions. For example, a threshold value can be pre-set, recorded as the second threshold duration, and if the current time node exceeds the second threshold duration from the time node when the suction action was last detected, it can be determined that the current use status of the electronic atomization device is suspended. In other words, the airflow detection component can be used to detect whether there is airflow flowing in the airway of the electronic atomization device within a preset second threshold time period. If so, the use status of the electronic atomization device can be determined to be in use, and then monitoring can continue; if it is found that there is no airflow flowing in the airway of the electronic atomization device for a time that reaches the second threshold time period, the use status of the electronic atomization device can be determined to be suspended.

[0089] Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the size of the second threshold duration can be flexibly set according to actual needs, for example, it can be set to 40 seconds or 60 seconds, etc., and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0090] Specifically, in some embodiments, the electronic atomization device further includes an aerosol generating substrate receiving element, a position detection component, a limiting mechanism, an elastic component and a heating component. The aerosol generating substrate receiving element is used to place the aerosol generating substrate, and the aerosol generating substrate receiving element can move in a predetermined direction in the electronic atomization device. The limiting mechanism is used to limit the aerosol generating substrate receiving element when the aerosol generating substrate receiving element moves to a predetermined position. The elastic component is in a compressed state when the aerosol generating substrate receiving element moves to a predetermined position. The position detection component is used to detect whether the aerosol generating substrate receiving element is in a predetermined position. The heating component is used to heat the aerosol generating substrate in the aerosol generating substrate receiving element.

[0091] Adjust the operation stage of the electronic atomization device according to the usage status, including:

[0092] If it is determined that the use state is suspended, the limit mechanism is controlled to release the limit, so that the elastic component drives the aerosol generation matrix receiving element to move out of the predetermined position;

[0093] When the position detection component detects that the aerosol generating matrix receiving element is not in the predetermined position, the heating component is controlled to stop heating, so that the electronic atomization device enters a dormant stage;

[0094] The method in the embodiment of the present application also includes:

[0095] In response to a user's operation of moving the aerosol generating substrate containing element to a predetermined position, the aerosol generating substrate containing element is limited by a limiting mechanism;

[0096] When the position detection component detects that the aerosol generating matrix containing element is back in the predetermined position, the heating component is controlled to heat so that the electronic atomization device re-enters the working stage.

[0097] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 The internal structure diagram of an electronic atomization device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic atomization device may include an aerosol generating substrate receiving component 410, a position detection component 420, a limit mechanism 430, an elastic component 450 and a heating component 440, wherein the aerosol generating substrate receiving component 410 can be used to place the aerosol generating substrate, such as Figure 4As shown, a cavity 411 may be provided in the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 for receiving and placing the aerosol generating substrate. The aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 may be moved in a predetermined direction in the electronic atomization device to Figure 4 Taking the electronic atomization device shown as an example, the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 can move up and down in the vertical direction. Of course, it is understandable that for different electronic atomization devices, the moving direction of the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 can be set to be different, and this application does not limit this.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, a position can be preset for the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410. The position can be the position where the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 is located when the electronic atomization device can normally heat the aerosol generating substrate after the aerosol generating substrate is placed in the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410. In the embodiment of the present application, it is recorded as the predetermined position. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, after placing the aerosol generating substrate in the aerosol generating substrate containing element 410, the user can press it down so that its bottom contacts the position detection component 420. At this time, the position of the aerosol generating substrate containing element 410 is the predetermined position.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, when the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 moves to the predetermined position, the elastic component 450 is in a compressed state. If the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 is not pressed or limited, the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 will be rebounded by the elastic component 450 under the action of the elastic component 450, thereby leaving the predetermined position. In the embodiment of the present application, the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 can be limited by the limiting mechanism 430 to limit the elastic component 450 from rebounding the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410. For example, Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a card slot can be provided on one side of the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410 close to the limiting mechanism 430, and a spring and a plug-in are provided in the limiting mechanism 430. When the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410 moves to a predetermined position, the plug-in of the limiting mechanism 430 is just aligned with the position where the card slot is located, and under the action of the spring in the limiting mechanism 430, the plug-in is inserted into the card slot, thereby limiting the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the limiting mechanism 430 can also release the limit of the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410, for example, control the spring to contract so that the plug-in is pulled out of the card slot of the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410, thereby realizing the action of releasing the limit.

[0100] When the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 moves to the predetermined position, it is considered that the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 has been set and is in a state where a heating operation can be performed. The position detection component 420 can be used to detect whether the aerosol generating substrate receiving element is in a predetermined position. When the aerosol generating substrate receiving element is in a predetermined position, the heating component 440 can perform a heating operation on the aerosol generating substrate in the aerosol generating substrate receiving element. Exemplarily, for example, in some embodiments, the position detection component 420 can use a touch switch, and the touch switch is used to control the working state of the heating component 440. When the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 is in a predetermined position, the touch switch is in a conducting state, and the heating component 440 can perform a heating operation; when the aerosol generating substrate receiving element 410 is not in a predetermined position, the touch switch is in a disconnected state, and the heating component 440 stops performing a heating operation. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no restriction on the specific type of the position detection component 420, and it can be flexibly set as needed.

[0101] Based on the above structural introduction of the electronic atomization device in the embodiment of the present application, in the embodiment of the present application, when the operation stage of the electronic atomization device is adjusted according to the use status, if it is determined that the current use status is changed from in use to a suspended state, then the electronic atomization device can be adjusted from the operation stage to the sleep stage. Specifically, the limit mechanism 430 can be controlled to release the limit. At this time, the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410 will be moved out of the predetermined position under the action of the elastic component 450. At the same time, the position detection component 420 can monitor the position of the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410 in real time. When it is found that the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410 is moved out of the predetermined position, the heating component 440 will be controlled to stop heating. At this time, the electronic atomization device as a whole enters the sleep stage.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, when the user needs to reactivate the electronic atomization device to switch it from the dormant stage to the working stage, the user can press the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410 to move it back to the predetermined position. When the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410 reaches the predetermined position, the limiting mechanism 430 will automatically limit the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410. At this time, the position detection component 420 detects that the aerosol generating matrix receiving element 410 is at the predetermined position, and controls the heating component 440 to heat, and the electronic atomization device re-enters the working stage.

[0103] Specifically, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 If the current electronic atomization device is in the working stage, the total working time of the electronic atomization device after this startup is detected, including:

[0104] Query the first time node of the electronic atomization device entering the working stage in this round and the historical working time corresponding to each historical working stage after this startup;

[0105] Obtain the current second time node, and determine the first working time of the electronic atomization device after entering the working phase in this round according to the second time node and the first time node;

[0106] The total working time is calculated by summing up the historical working time and the first working time.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, when detecting the total working time of the electronic atomization device after this startup, the first time node of the electronic atomization device entering the working stage in this round can be queried, and the historical working time corresponding to each historical working stage of the electronic atomization device after this startup can be queried. These data can be recorded and saved locally on the electronic atomization device. Among them, the historical working stage refers to the working stage that the electronic atomization device has run and ended after this startup. For example, a certain electronic atomization device has successively experienced working stage A-sleeping stage B-working stage C-sleeping stage D-working stage E after a certain startup. It can be seen that the running stage of the electronic atomization device rotates between the working stage and the sleeping stage. The working stage can be converted to the sleeping stage, and the sleeping stage can also be converted to the working stage. Assuming that the current time node is in working stage E, then working stage E is the working stage entered in this round. In the embodiment of the present application, the time node when the electronic atomization device enters working stage E can be obtained, which is recorded as the first time node. Relative to working stage E, working stage A and working stage C belong to historical working stages. Since the historical working stage is a working stage that has ended, the corresponding historical working time can be determined according to their starting time node and ending time node. For example, the historical working time corresponding to work phase A may be 40 seconds, and that of work phase C may be 100 seconds.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, the current time node can be obtained, recorded as the second time node, and then the working time of the electronic atomization device after entering the working stage in this round can be determined according to the difference between the current second time node and the first time node, which is recorded as the first working time. After determining the first working time, the total working time can be obtained according to the sum of all historical working times and the first working time. For example, if the first working time corresponding to working stage E is 25 seconds, then the determined total working time is 165 seconds.

[0109] In some embodiments, the electronic atomization device further includes a touch display screen; and the method further includes:

[0110] If the current electronic atomization device is in the dormant stage, detect the total working time of the electronic atomization device after this startup;

[0111] Calculate the difference between the first threshold duration and the total working duration to obtain the remaining usage duration;

[0112] The remaining usage time is displayed on the touch screen.

[0113] As described above, the electronic atomization device in the embodiment of the present application may also include a touch screen. In some scenarios, in order to facilitate users to plan the use of the electronic atomization device, the remaining usage time after this startup can be displayed on the touch screen when the electronic atomization device is in a dormant stage. For example, if it is determined that the current electronic atomization device is in a dormant stage, the total working time of the electronic atomization device after this startup can be detected. At this time, the total working time of the electronic atomization device can be directly determined based on the sum of the historical working times corresponding to each historical working stage, which is not elaborated in this application.

[0114] After obtaining the total working time, the difference between the first threshold time and the total working time can be calculated to obtain the remaining usage time. Then, the remaining usage time can be displayed on the touch screen. By displaying the remaining usage time, the user can clearly understand how long the electronic atomization device has been used after this startup, excluding the time in the dormant stage, and how long it can continue to be used, which is convenient for the user to decide whether to activate the electronic atomization device or restart the electronic atomization device after shutting down.

[0115] Below, in conjunction with a specific embodiment, the process of the operation control method of the electronic atomization device provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced and explained.

[0116] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the implementation process of an operation control method of an electronic atomization device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In an embodiment of the present application, after the user starts the electronic atomization device, the electronic atomization device operates in the working stage, and the total working time of its operation can be counted. If the current total working time reaches the first threshold time after the electronic atomization device is started this time, an alarm prompt can be given and the device can be automatically shut down. If not, that is, when the total working time is less than the first threshold time, the electronic atomization device can continue to work in the working stage, and simultaneously monitor the total working time and the use status. Specifically, if the use status is in use, the relationship between the total working time and the first threshold time is continuously judged; if the use status is suspended, the electronic atomization device can be adjusted to the dormant stage. At this time, the user suspends the use of the electronic atomization device, and the total working time does not continue to be counted. When the user wants to reactivate the electronic atomization device to enter the working stage, he can exit the dormant stage by touching the switch.

[0117] It can be understood that the method in the embodiment of the present application allows the user to pause the use of the electronic atomization device after it is started and stop the heating work of the heating component. When it is needed, the electronic atomization device can be easily reactivated to enter the working stage, which can improve the flexibility of use of the electronic atomization device and reduce unnecessary resource consumption.
