[0044] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present application.

[0045] It should be understood that when used in the present specification and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of described features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0046] It should also be understood that the term “and / or” used in the specification and appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0047] As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the term "if" can be interpreted as "when" or "uponce" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting", depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [described condition or event] is detected" can be interpreted as meaning "uponce it is determined" or "in response to determining" or "uponce [described condition or event] is detected" or "in response to detecting [described condition or event]", depending on the context.

[0048] In addition, in the description of the present application specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0049] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in the specification of this application mean that one or more embodiments of the present application include specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment. Therefore, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways.

[0050] For illustration, please refer to Figure 1, which shows a schematic diagram of an aerosol generating device system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lighting system includes an aerosol generating device 110, and the aerosol generating device 110 is connected to an aerosol generating substrate 120. In addition, the aerosol generating device 110 also includes a first indicator light 111, and the first indicator light 111 remains lit.

[0051] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device 110 is started and normally operates in a heating mode, wherein the heating mode means that the aerosol generating device 110 heats the aerosol generating substrate 120 .

[0052] Illustratively, when the aerosol generating device 110 is in the standby mode, the aerosol generating substrate 120 stops being heated, but at this time, since the aerosol generating device 110 is still in operation, the first indicator 111 remains lit. Since the aerosol generating device 110 does not heat the aerosol generating substrate in the standby mode, the power consumption value of the aerosol generating device 110 in the standby mode is less than the power consumption value of the aerosol generating device 110 in the heating mode.

[0053] In a feasible situation, when the aerosol generating device 110 is in standby mode, a first current value corresponding to the aerosol generating device 110 is detected, and the first current value is used to indicate the power consumption of the aerosol generating device 110. If the first current value is greater than a preset current value threshold, it indicates that the current power consumption of the aerosol generating device 110 is relatively large even in standby mode. Therefore, it is further switched to the power saving mode, wherein the number of functions implemented by the aerosol generating device 110 in the power saving mode is less than the number of functions implemented in the standby mode, for example: turning off the first indicator light 111.

[0054] Optionally, the aerosol generating device 110 comprises at least one of an electric heating type device or a carbon heating type device.

[0055] In conjunction with the above-mentioned aerosol generating device system, the device power saving method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. For illustration, please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a flow chart of a device power saving method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method includes the following steps 210 to 230.

[0056] Step 210 , operating the aerosol generating device in a first operating mode.

[0057] The first operating mode corresponds to a first power consumption value, and the aerosol generating device stops heating in the first operating mode.

[0058] Schematically, after the aerosol generating device starts the power supply, the battery heats the heating component, and after the heating component is heated up, the heat is transferred to the aerosol generating matrix, so that the aerosol generating matrix reaches the boiling point and atomizes, generating a suspended aerosol for the user to inhale, wherein the aerosol generating matrix will be consumed during the heating process.

[0059] Schematically, the first operating mode is a mode different from the heating mode (i.e., the operating mode in which the heating component is heated after the power is started as mentioned above). Since the aerosol generating device does not heat the heating component in the first operating mode, the power consumption of the aerosol generating device in the first operating mode is less than that in the heating mode.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first operation mode may also be a standby mode.

[0061] Optionally, the triggering method of the first operating mode includes at least one of the following situations:

[0062] The first type is automatic triggering, that is, the first operation mode is automatically operated when the operation state of the aerosol generating device meets the specified conditions, for example, when the aerosol generating device is not connected to the aerosol generating substrate and the duration of the disconnection reaches a first duration threshold, the first operation mode is automatically triggered;

[0063] The second type is manual triggering. When a first trigger operation is received, the aerosol generating device runs the first operating mode according to the first trigger operation. For example, a first control is provided in the aerosol generating device. When the trigger operation of the first control is received three times and the operation time interval between two adjacent trigger operations is less than 0.2 seconds, the aerosol generating device runs the first operating mode after the third trigger operation is completed.

[0064] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned triggering method for the first operating mode is only an illustrative example and is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application.

[0065] Optionally, the power consumption of the first operating mode has been configured during the production process of the aerosol generating device, that is, the first operating mode is a fixed mode. For example, when the aerosol generating device runs in the first operating mode, the heating components in the aerosol generating device are not heated, and the communication function, Bluetooth function, voice function, etc. of the aerosol generating device are turned off.

[0066] Optionally, the power consumption of the first operating mode is configured by the user according to actual conditions. That is to say, different aerosol generating devices have corresponding first operating modes. For example, for aerosol generating device a, when aerosol generating device a runs in the first operating mode, the heating component of aerosol generating device a is not heated, and the communication function of aerosol generating device a is turned off; for aerosol generating device b, when aerosol generating device b runs in the first operating mode, the heating component of aerosol generating device b is not heated, and the communication function and Bluetooth function of aerosol generating device a are turned off.

[0067] Step 220: Detect a first current value corresponding to the aerosol generating device.

[0068] The first current value is related to the operating power consumption of the aerosol generating device.

[0069] Illustratively, the first current value refers to the current value generated by the aerosol generating device in the first operating mode.

[0070] Schematically, the value of the first current value determines the operating power consumption of the aerosol generating device. That is, the higher the value of the first current value, the higher the operating power consumption of the aerosol generating device. Conversely, the lower the value of the first current value, the lower the operating power consumption of the aerosol generating device.

[0071] Optionally, the first current value is collected in at least one of the following ways:

[0072] The first method is to collect the current once at a specified time, and use the current value collected once as the first current value. For example, when the aerosol generating device operates in the first operation mode, when the operation time reaches 5 seconds, collect the current value once as the first current value.

[0073] The second method is to collect multiple current values ​​at multiple times, and take the average of the multiple current values ​​as the first current value. For example, when the aerosol generating device operates in the first operating mode, when the operating time reaches 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 8 seconds and 12 seconds respectively, current value 1, current value 2, current value 3 and current value 4 are collected respectively, and the average value of current value 1, current value 2, current value 3 and current value 4 is calculated as the first current value.

[0074] The third method is to collect multiple current values ​​at multiple times, and take the maximum current value among the multiple current values ​​as the first current value. For example, when the aerosol generating device operates in the first operation mode, when the operation time reaches 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 8 seconds and 12 seconds respectively, the current value 1 is 3 mA, the current value 2 is 5 mA, the current value 3 is 7 mA and the current value 4 is 6 mA, and 7 mA is taken as the first current value.

[0075] A fourth method is to set multiple time intervals, collect multiple current values ​​in sequence according to the time intervals, and use an average value of the multiple current values ​​or a maximum current value among the multiple current values ​​as the first current value.

[0076] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned method for collecting the first current value is only an illustrative example and is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application.

[0077] Step 230 , when the current change corresponding to the first current value meets the first condition, switching the aerosol generating device from the first operation mode to the second operation mode.

[0078] Among them, the number of functions that can be operated by the aerosol generating device in the second operating mode is less than the number of functions that can be operated in the first operating mode, and the second operating mode corresponds to a second power consumption value, which is lower than the first power consumption value.

[0079] Optionally, the current change condition includes at least one of the following conditions:

[0080] The first one is that a second current value is set for the first operating mode, which is used to indicate the current value corresponding to when the aerosol generating device operates in the first operating mode under normal conditions. If the first current value is greater than the second current value, it indicates that the current change meets the first condition;

[0081] The second type is that a current value variation range is set for the first operating mode, which is used to indicate the current value variation corresponding to when the aerosol generating device operates in the first operating mode under normal conditions. If there are multiple first current values, and the variation ranges of the multiple first current values ​​exceed the current value variation range, it indicates that the current variation of the first current value meets the first condition;

[0082] The third type is to set a current change amplitude for the first operating mode, which is used to indicate the corresponding current value change when the aerosol generating device operates in the first operating mode under normal conditions. If there are multiple first current values, and the change amplitude between at least two of the multiple first current values ​​is greater than the current change amplitude, it indicates that the current change of the first current value meets the first condition.

[0083] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned current change is only an illustrative example and is not limited to this in the embodiments of the present application.

[0084] In some embodiments, when the current change corresponding to the first current value meets the first condition, it indicates that the power consumption of the first operating mode is too high, and therefore the power consumption overhead of the aerosol generating device needs to be further reduced. Therefore, the aerosol generating device is adjusted from the first operating mode to the second operating mode.

[0085] Schematically, the number of functions in the start-up state in the second operating mode is less than the number of functions in the start-up state in the first operating mode. For example, in the first operating mode, the heating component in the aerosol generating device is not heated, and the communication function, Bluetooth function, and voice function of the aerosol generating device are turned off. In the second operating mode, the heating component in the aerosol generating device is not heated, and the communication function, Bluetooth function, voice function, and indicator light lighting function of the aerosol generating device are turned off.

[0086] In some embodiments, precisely because the functions that can be implemented in the second operating mode are less than those in the first operating mode, the power consumption value corresponding to the second operating mode is less than the power consumption value corresponding to the first operating mode.

[0087] In this embodiment, the second operating mode may also be referred to as a power saving mode.

[0088] Optionally, the power consumption of the second operating mode has been configured during the production process of the aerosol generating device, that is, the second operating mode is a fixed mode. For example, when the aerosol generating device runs in the second operating mode, the heating components in the aerosol generating device are not heated, and the communication function, Bluetooth function, voice function, etc. of the aerosol generating device are turned off.

[0089] Optionally, the power consumption of the second operating mode is configured by the user according to actual conditions. That is to say, different aerosol generating devices have corresponding second operating modes. For example, for aerosol generating device a, when aerosol generating device a runs in the second operating mode, the heating component of aerosol generating device a is not heated, and the communication function of aerosol generating device a is turned off; for aerosol generating device b, when aerosol generating device b runs in the second operating mode, the heating component of aerosol generating device b is not heated, and the communication function, Bluetooth function and indicator light function of aerosol generating device a are turned off.

[0090] The device power saving method provided in the embodiment of the present application detects a first current value corresponding to the aerosol generating device when the aerosol generating device operates in a first operating mode (standby mode). If a current change corresponding to the first current value meets a first condition, the aerosol generating device is further switched from the first operating mode (standby mode) to a second operating mode (power saving mode) to further reduce the power consumption corresponding to the aerosol generating device. That is to say, when the aerosol generating device operates in the standby mode, the first current value is detected. If the first current value meets the first condition, it indicates that the power consumption of the aerosol generating device in the current standby mode is also large. Therefore, it is further switched to the power saving mode to save power for the aerosol generating device. Dynamic adjustment of the operating mode of the aerosol generating device can save its power consumption as much as possible, thereby improving the corresponding use efficiency of the aerosol generating device and extending the use time of the device.

[0091] In some embodiments, the switching process of the operating mode is described in detail. For example, please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a flow chart of a device power saving method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, that is, step 230 also includes step 231, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method also includes the following steps.

[0092] Step 231 : if the current value difference between the second current value and the first current value meets the difference condition, switching the aerosol generating device from the first operation mode to the second operation mode.

[0093] The first operating mode corresponds to a second current value.

[0094] Illustratively, the second current value represents a current value corresponding to when the aerosol generating device operates in the first operating mode under normal conditions.

[0095] In this embodiment, a current value difference threshold is set, and if the first current value is greater than the second current value, and the current value difference between the first current value and the second current value reaches the current value difference threshold, it means that the current value difference meets the difference condition. That is, when the first current value is greater than the second current value, and the duration corresponding to the first current value reaches the preset duration threshold, the aerosol generating device is switched from the first operating mode to the second operating mode.

[0096] Optionally, when the current value difference between the second current value and the first current value meets the difference condition, the aerosol generating device is immediately switched from the first operating mode to the second operating mode; or, after a period of time, the aerosol generating device is switched from the first operating mode to the second operating mode.

[0097] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device stops detecting the first current value in the second operating mode.

[0098] In the present embodiment, when the aerosol generating device is in the second operating mode, since the second operating mode is the operating mode with the lowest power consumption among the multiple operating modes corresponding to the aerosol generating device, when the aerosol generating device is in the second operating mode, the current value in the aerosol generating device is no longer detected, thereby further reducing the operating power consumption of the aerosol generating device.

[0099] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device includes a device base; in response to the connection operation of the aerosol generating substrate and the device base, the aerosol generating device is switched from the second operating mode to the third operating mode, the third operating mode corresponds to a third power consumption value, the third power consumption value is greater than the first power consumption value, and the aerosol generating device heats the aerosol generating substrate in the third operating mode.

[0100] In this embodiment, taking the third operating mode as the heating mode as an example, when the device base and the aerosol generating matrix in the aerosol generating device are connected, it means that the user wants to use the aerosol generating device normally. At this time, the aerosol generating device exits the second operating mode and runs the third operating mode. The aerosol generating device heats the heating component in the third operating mode.

[0101] Optionally, a probe device is installed in the aerosol generating device, and when the probe device detects that the device base and the aerosol generating substrate are connected, the aerosol generating device automatically switches from the second operating mode to the third operating mode; or, when the device base and the aerosol generating substrate in the aerosol generating device are connected, a mode switching operation is received (for example: when the trigger operation of the first control is received 3 times, and the operation time interval between two adjacent trigger operations is less than 0.2 seconds), the aerosol generating device is triggered to switch from the second operating mode to the third operating mode.

[0102] In some embodiments, in response to a disconnection operation on an aerosol generating substrate and a device base, a disconnection state corresponding to the aerosol generating device is determined, and the disconnection state is used to indicate a state in which the device base is not connected to the aerosol generating substrate; when the duration corresponding to the disconnection state reaches a first duration threshold, the aerosol generating device is switched from the third operating mode to the second operating mode.

[0103] In this embodiment, when the aerosol generating device is in the third operating mode, if the aerosol generating substrate in the aerosol generating device is disconnected from the device base and the duration of the disconnection reaches a preset first duration threshold, the aerosol generating device is switched from the third operating mode to the second operating mode.

[0104] Optionally, a probe device is installed in the aerosol generating device, and when the probe device detects that the device base and the aerosol generating substrate are disconnected, and the duration of the disconnection reaches a preset first duration threshold, the aerosol generating device automatically switches from the second operating mode to the third operating mode; or, when the device base and the aerosol generating substrate in the aerosol generating device are disconnected, and the duration of the disconnection reaches a preset first duration threshold, based on the mode switching operation received (for example: after receiving a trigger operation on the first control three times, and the operation time interval between two adjacent trigger operations is less than 0.2 seconds), the aerosol generating device is triggered to switch from the third operating mode to the second operating mode.

[0105] In some embodiments, the aerosol generating device includes multiple device functions; a function list is displayed, and the function list includes multiple device functions; in response to a trigger operation on a first function, a second operating mode is determined, and the aerosol generating device does not run the first function when running the second operating mode, and runs other functions among the multiple device functions except the first function.

[0106] In this embodiment, there is also a function of freely setting the second operating mode. Therefore, a function list including multiple device functions is displayed in the aerosol generating device, such as: Bluetooth function, audio function, voice function, indicator light function, wallpaper display function, lighting function, etc. The user can select the first function in the function list so that the aerosol generating device does not run the first function when running the second operating mode.

[0107] The device power saving method provided in the embodiment of the present application detects a first current value corresponding to the aerosol generating device when the aerosol generating device operates in a first operating mode (standby mode). If a current change corresponding to the first current value meets a first condition, the aerosol generating device is further switched from the first operating mode (standby mode) to a second operating mode (power saving mode) to further reduce the power consumption corresponding to the aerosol generating device. That is to say, when the aerosol generating device operates in the standby mode, the first current value is detected. If the first current value meets the first condition, it indicates that the power consumption of the aerosol generating device in the current standby mode is also large. Therefore, it is further switched to the power saving mode to save power for the aerosol generating device. Dynamic adjustment of the operating mode of the aerosol generating device can save its power consumption as much as possible, thereby improving the corresponding use efficiency of the aerosol generating device and extending the use time of the device.

[0108] For illustration, please refer to Figure 4 , which shows a flow chart of a device power saving method in an automatic scenario provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0109] Step 410, adding a sensing module.

[0110] During the hardware development process, a chip for detecting current input was added as a sensing module to detect the size of the current value in the aerosol generating device.

[0111] Step 420, software configuration function module.

[0112] The aerosol generating device is burned with a functional application program for compiling various functions of the aerosol generating device, such as: voice control function, display function, heating function, motor vibration function, wallpaper display function, Bluetooth function, etc.

[0113] At step 430 , the aerosol generating device is in standby mode.

[0114] When the aerosol generating substrate is not connected to the aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating device enters a standby mode. In the standby mode, the aerosol generating device does not heat the heating component.

[0115] The detection time is set to 60 seconds, the first current value corresponding to the current aerosol generating device is collected within 60 seconds, and the second current value of the aerosol generating device in standby mode is pre-set to represent the current value of the aerosol generating device in standby mode under normal conditions.

[0116] When the first current value is greater than the second current value, step 440 is executed; otherwise, step 430 is executed.

[0117] At step 440 , the aerosol generating device is in a power saving mode.

[0118] When the first current value is greater than the second current value, the aerosol generating device is switched from the standby mode to the power saving mode.

[0119] The aerosol generating device does not detect the current value in the power saving mode.

[0120] Step 450, end.

[0121] When the aerosol generating device runs out of power, the operation ends.

[0122] For illustration, please refer to Figure 5 , which shows a flow chart of a device power saving method in a manual scenario provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0123] Step 510, adding a sensing module.

[0124] During the hardware development process, a chip for detecting current input was added as a sensing module to detect the size of the current value in the aerosol generating device.

[0125] Step 520, software configuration function module.

[0126] The aerosol generating device is burned with a functional application program for compiling various functions of the aerosol generating device, such as: voice control function, display function, heating function, motor vibration function, wallpaper display function, Bluetooth function, etc.

[0127] Step 530, manually enter activation mode.

[0128] The active mode refers to a mode before entering the power saving mode. Optionally, the active mode is the same as the standby mode, or the active mode is different from the standby mode.

[0129] Optionally, the user triggers the power saving mode in at least one of the following ways:

[0130] The first type: Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) temperature; NTC temperature is the temperature at which the resistance of an NTC thermistor decreases rapidly as the temperature rises. This characteristic can be used to measure the operating temperature of an aerosol generating device.

[0131] The software reads the current operating temperature of the aerosol generating device in real time through the negative temperature coefficient on the battery and the printed circuit board (PCBA) in the aerosol generating device. For example, if the operating temperature corresponding to the current aerosol generating device is less than 32 degrees Celsius, it means that the current aerosol generation does not heat the aerosol generating matrix.

[0132] The second type is sensing module + detection time + NTC temperature.

[0133] The program reads the probe device of the sensing module in real time, for example, 3 probes. When it is detected that no probe is exposed, it means that the user has not held the aerosol generating device. The detection time program is set to be greater than 30 seconds. The current operating temperature corresponding to the aerosol generating device is less than 32 degrees Celsius, indicating that the current aerosol generation does not heat the aerosol generating matrix.

[0134] The third method is to use the number of key presses to determine the number of times the program is used. For example, key press = 3 times, the interval between key presses is ≤ 0.2 seconds, and the number of times here can be increased as appropriate based on the actual situation.

[0135] Step 540, enter power saving mode.

[0136] When any one of the above three operations is met, the aerosol generating device enters a power saving mode.

[0137] Step 550, remind the user that the operation failed and try again.

[0138] When any of the above three operations is not met, a prompt is displayed to remind the user that the entry into the power saving mode has failed and the user needs to re-operate.

[0139] Step 560, end.

[0140] For illustration, please refer to Figure 6 , which shows a flow chart of a method for saving power of a device in a manual mode provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0141] Step 610, adding a sensing module.

[0142] During the hardware development process, a chip for detecting current input was added as a sensing module to detect the size of the current value in the aerosol generating device.

[0143] Step 620, software configuration function module.

[0144] The aerosol generating device is burned with a functional application program for compiling various functions of the aerosol generating device, such as: voice control function, display function, heating function, motor vibration function, wallpaper display function, Bluetooth function, etc.

[0145] Step 630, manually enter the exit mode.

[0146] The activation mode refers to a mode before exiting the power saving mode. Optionally, the exit mode is the same as the power saving mode, or the exit mode is different from the power saving mode.

[0147] Optionally, the user triggers the power saving mode in at least one of the following ways:

[0148] The first type: Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) temperature; NTC temperature is the temperature at which the resistance of an NTC thermistor decreases rapidly as the temperature rises. This characteristic can be used to measure the operating temperature of an aerosol generating device.

[0149] The software reads the current operating temperature of the aerosol generating device in real time through the negative temperature coefficient on the battery and printed circuit board (PCBA) in the aerosol generating device. For example, if the operating temperature corresponding to the current aerosol generating device is greater than 32 degrees Celsius, it means that the current aerosol generation requires heating of the aerosol generating matrix.

[0150] The second type is sensing module + detection time + NTC temperature.

[0151] The program reads the probe device of the sensing module in real time, for example, 3 probes. When it is detected that no probe is exposed but only one probe is exposed, it means that the user has held the aerosol generating device. The detection time is set to be greater than 30 seconds.

[0152] The current operating temperature corresponding to the aerosol generating device is less than 32 degrees Celsius, indicating that the current aerosol generation does not heat the aerosol generating substrate.

[0153] The third method is to use the number of key presses to determine the number of times the program is used. For example, key press = 3 times, the interval between key presses is ≤ 0.2 seconds, and the number of times here can be increased as appropriate based on the actual situation.

[0154] Step 640, exit the power saving mode.

[0155] When any one of the above three operations is met, the aerosol generating device exits the power saving mode.

[0156] Step 650, remind the user that the operation failed and to try again.

[0157] When any of the above three operations is not met, a prompt is displayed to remind the user that the exit from the power saving mode has failed and needs to be repeated.

[0158] Step 660, end.

[0159] The device power saving method provided in the embodiment of the present application detects a first current value corresponding to the aerosol generating device when the aerosol generating device operates in a first operating mode (standby mode). If a current change corresponding to the first current value meets a first condition, the aerosol generating device is further switched from the first operating mode (standby mode) to a second operating mode (power saving mode) to further reduce the power consumption corresponding to the aerosol generating device. That is to say, when the aerosol generating device operates in the standby mode, the first current value is detected. If the first current value meets the first condition, it indicates that the power consumption of the aerosol generating device in the current standby mode is also large. Therefore, it is further switched to the power saving mode to save power for the aerosol generating device. Dynamic adjustment of the operating mode of the aerosol generating device can save its power consumption as much as possible, thereby improving the corresponding use efficiency of the aerosol generating device and extending the use time of the device.

[0160] For illustration, please refer to Figure 7 , which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a device power saving apparatus provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, wherein the device power saving apparatus may specifically include the following modules:

[0161] An acquisition module 710 is configured to operate the aerosol generating device in a first operation mode, wherein the first operation mode corresponds to a first power consumption value, and the aerosol generating device stops heating in the first operation mode;

[0164] Optionally, the first operating mode corresponds to a second current value;

[0165] The switching module 730 is further configured to switch the aerosol generating device from the first operation mode to the second operation mode when a current value difference between the second current value and the first current value meets a difference condition.

[0167] Optionally, the aerosol generating device stops detecting the first current value in the second operating mode.

[0168] Optionally, the aerosol generating device comprises a device base;

[0169] The switching module 730 is also used to switch the aerosol generating device from the second operating mode to the third operating mode in response to the connection operation of the aerosol generating substrate and the device base. The third operating mode corresponds to a third power consumption value, and the third power consumption value is greater than the first power consumption value. The aerosol generating device heats the aerosol generating substrate in the third operating mode.

[0170] Optionally, the switching module 730 is also used to determine a disconnection state corresponding to the aerosol generating device in response to a disconnection operation on the aerosol generating substrate and the device base, wherein the disconnection state is used to indicate a state in which the device base is not connected to the aerosol generating substrate; when the duration corresponding to the disconnection state reaches a first duration threshold, the aerosol generating device is switched from the third operating mode to the second operating mode.

[0173] The device power saving apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application detects a first current value corresponding to the aerosol generating device when the aerosol generating device is running in the first operating mode (standby mode). If a current change corresponding to the first current value meets a first condition, the aerosol generating device is further switched from the first operating mode (standby mode) to the second operating mode (power saving mode) to further reduce the power consumption corresponding to the aerosol generating device. That is to say, when the aerosol generating device is running in the standby mode, the first current value is detected. If the first current value meets the first condition, it indicates that the power consumption of the aerosol generating device in the current standby mode is also large. Therefore, it is further switched to the power saving mode to save power for the aerosol generating device. Dynamic adjustment of the operating mode of the aerosol generating device can save its power consumption as much as possible, thereby improving the corresponding use efficiency of the aerosol generating device and extending the use time of the device.
