[0040] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation mode of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present application. The terms used herein in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a control method for an electronic atomization device, the control method comprising the following steps:

[0042] S100: collecting airflow information inside the electronic atomization device through an airflow sensor;

[0043] S200: Determine speaker operation information of the speaker according to the airflow information;

[0044] S300: Controlling the working state of the speaker according to the speaker working information.

[0045] Specifically, the control method of the electronic atomization device achieves precise control by collecting the airflow information inside the device in real time. In actual applications, the airflow sensor will continuously monitor the airflow information inside the device, including but not limited to key parameters such as flow rate, flow, pressure and direction. When the user inhales, the airflow will change. The control method of the present application can simulate the unique sound effect of hookah by analyzing the airflow information in real time. By using the airflow information to achieve precise control of the sound effects emitted by the speaker, the electronic atomization device can more realistically reproduce the experience of hookah, enhancing the user's immersion and fun of use.

[0046] In some embodiments, S200 determining the speaker operation information of the speaker according to the airflow information may include:

[0047] S210: determining the sound state of the speaker according to the real-time air flow velocity;

[0048] S220: Determine the sound information of the speaker according to the sound state and the real-time air flow speed;

[0049] The speaker working information includes the sound state and the sound information.

[0050] The real-time airflow velocity refers to the airflow intensity monitored by the airflow sensor inside the electronic atomization device, which reflects the current suction state of the device. Therefore, in some embodiments, S210 determines the sound state of the speaker according to the real-time airflow velocity, which may include:

[0051] In response to the real-time airflow velocity being greater than or equal to an airflow velocity threshold, determining that the utterance state is utterance allowed;

[0052] In response to the real-time airflow velocity being less than an airflow velocity threshold, the sounding state is determined as not allowing sounding.

[0053] Specifically, it can be determined whether the user is taking a puff based on whether the airflow speed reaches or exceeds the airflow speed threshold. When the user takes a strong puff, the airflow speed is high, and it can be determined that the airflow state at this time is consistent with the actual situation of hookah smoking. Therefore, the speaker is allowed to emit sound to simulate the sound effect of hookah equipment, thereby enhancing the user's immersion and sense of reality. When the airflow speed is low, it indicates that the user is not taking a puff, and the speaker is not allowed to emit sound.

[0054] As for the airflow velocity threshold, it can be set through experiments and simulations of user behavior. The airflow velocity threshold is a parameter obtained through research and testing. It represents the average value or appropriate range of the airflow velocity when the user is puffing normally. For example, a reasonable airflow velocity range can be obtained by analyzing a large amount of user usage data. When the airflow velocity reaches the threshold, it can be considered that the suction action at this time is strong enough to make a sound; when the airflow velocity is lower than this threshold, it is judged that the suction action is relatively slight or insufficient to produce the expected sound effect, so the sound state is set to not allow sound. By accurately setting the airflow velocity threshold, it can be ensured that the sound is matched with the airflow state, avoiding the generation of unnatural sounds or sounds that do not meet user expectations, thereby improving the overall user experience.

[0055] In some embodiments, the airflow velocity, as an input signal, will directly affect the sound effect characteristics of the speaker, ensuring that the sound emitted matches the intensity of the user's suction action. The step S220 of determining the sound information of the speaker according to the sound emission state and the real-time airflow velocity includes:

[0056] In response to the sound emission state being "sound emission allowed", specific sound emission information is determined according to the real-time air flow velocity; wherein the sound emission information includes sound effect frequency and / or sound effect loudness.

[0057] It is easy to understand that after determining that the user is performing a puffing action, the sound information, such as the sound effect frequency and the sound effect loudness, can be determined according to the real-time airflow speed, so as to simulate and adjust the sound produced when actually smoking a hookah in real time, instead of playing pre-stored sound effects that cannot be changed or adjusted.

[0058] Specifically, the sound effect frequency is positively correlated with the real-time air flow velocity, and / or the sound effect loudness is positively correlated with the real-time air flow velocity.

[0059] The greater the real-time airflow speed, the stronger the suction force. At this time, the real hookah should bubble quickly and produce a high-frequency bubbling sound. Correspondingly, the sound information of the electronic atomizer should also determine the sound effect as high frequency according to the higher airflow speed to simulate the sound effect of rapid bubbling when taking a big puff of hookah. When the real-time airflow speed is low, the speaker will generate a lower-frequency sound effect to simulate the sound of slow bubbling during slight suction, avoid emitting too high-frequency sound effects, and maintain the naturalness and comfort of the sound. In addition to the sound effect frequency, the real-time airflow speed also affects the loudness of the sound effect. When the airflow speed is high, the loudness of the sound effect of the speaker will be appropriately increased to match the airflow of strong suction and simulate the high-loudness sound effect of hookah. Conversely, when the airflow speed is low, the loudness of the sound effect will be reduced accordingly to avoid overly strong or unnatural sound effects, thereby ensuring the balance and naturalness of the overall experience. The technical solution of the present application simulates the difference between the bubbling sound when smoking a hookah with big puffs quickly and when smoking a hookah slowly through the above-mentioned settings, further improving the similarity between the electronic atomization device and the real hookah.

[0060] In some embodiments, 200 determining the speaker operation information of the speaker according to the airflow information may include:

[0061] S230: determining a sounding state of a speaker according to the airflow information;

[0062] S240: Determine the sound information of the speaker according to the sound state and the airflow information;

[0063] The airflow information includes the real-time airflow velocity and the airflow volume within the acquisition time; the speaker working information includes the sound state and the sound information.

[0064] When users actually use hookahs, they sometimes inhale slowly for fun to control or listen to the different bubbling states of the hookah. At this time, it is impossible to determine whether the user is inhaling only by the airflow speed. Therefore, the airflow information may include real-time airflow speed and airflow volume during the collection time. Comprehensively judging whether the user is inhaling through multiple factors can cope with more usage scenarios and make more accurate judgments.

[0065] In some embodiments, S230 determining the sound state of the speaker according to the airflow information may include:

[0066] determining a suction intensity according to the airflow information;

[0067] In response to the suction intensity being greater than or equal to a suction threshold, determining the sounding state as allowing sounding;

[0068] In response to the puff intensity being less than the puff threshold, the sound emission state is determined as sound emission not being allowed.

[0069] In electronic atomization devices, determining the sound state of the speaker is achieved by analyzing real-time airflow information. First, the suction intensity is determined based on the airflow information. The suction intensity is usually calculated by the real-time airflow velocity and the airflow volume during the acquisition time. Specifically, the real-time airflow velocity reflects the instantaneous intensity of the user's suction action, while the airflow volume is the accumulation of the total amount of airflow within a certain period of time, which can more comprehensively reflect the continuous intensity of the user's suction. The suction intensity can be calculated by multiplying the real-time airflow velocity and the airflow volume. This calculation method combines the real-time airflow velocity with the airflow volume, which can instantly reflect the user's suction intensity and take into account the continuity of the suction. When the suction intensity is high, it means that the user's suction action is more intense, and the airflow velocity and airflow volume are both high. This time it can be determined that the user is suctioning. In addition, the suction intensity can also be calculated in other ways. For example, the airflow volume is divided by the real-time airflow velocity to obtain the suction intensity. This calculation method emphasizes the relationship between the airflow volume and the airflow velocity, and can also reflect the continuity and intensity of the user's suction action. The weighted average of the real-time airflow velocity and the airflow volume can also be used as an indicator of the suction intensity. In this calculation method, the real-time airflow velocity needs to be multiplied by its corresponding real-time airflow velocity weight and the airflow volume needs to be multiplied by its corresponding airflow volume weight and then added. The real-time airflow velocity weight and the airflow volume weight can be used to adjust the influence of the real-time airflow velocity and airflow volume on the suction intensity. By adjusting the weight, the influence of a certain parameter on the suction intensity can be emphasized according to actual needs.

[0070] Next, in response to the puff intensity being greater than or equal to the puff threshold, the sounding state is determined to be "sounding is allowed". The puff threshold may be a preset standard value obtained through experiments and user behavior analysis, indicating that the speaker will be triggered to make a sound only when the puff intensity is above a certain level. The setting of the puff threshold may be an empirical value obtained through a large number of user tests and data analysis, which can meet the usage habits of most users. When the puff intensity reaches the puff threshold, it is determined that the user is performing a puffing action, which can produce a sound effect similar to that of a hookah device, and therefore the speaker is allowed to make a sound.

[0071] In response to the suction intensity being less than the suction threshold, the sounding state is determined to be "not allowed to sound". When the suction intensity is low, it means that the user's suction action is relatively light, and the airflow speed and airflow volume are both small. In this case, it is determined that the user is not performing a suction action, and therefore the speaker is not allowed to sound. Through the above method, comprehensively judging whether the user is performing a suction action based on multiple factors can cope with more usage scenarios and make more accurate judgments.

[0072] In some embodiments, S230 determining the sound information of the speaker according to the sound state and the airflow information may include:

[0073] In response to the sounding state being that sounding is allowed, determining the sounding information according to the airflow information;

[0074] The sound information includes sound effect frequency and / or sound effect loudness.

[0075] It is easy to understand that after determining that the user is performing a puffing action, the sound information, such as the sound effect frequency and the sound effect loudness, can be determined based on the real-time airflow velocity and airflow volume, so as to simulate and adjust the sound produced when actually smoking a hookah in real time, instead of playing pre-stored sound effects that cannot be changed or adjusted.

[0076] Specifically, in response to the sounding state being that sounding is allowed, determining the sounding information according to the airflow information includes:

[0077] Determine the effective suction volume according to the airflow information, and determine the sound information according to the effective suction volume;

[0078] The sound effect frequency is positively correlated with the effective suction volume, and / or the sound effect loudness is positively correlated with the effective suction volume.

[0079] It is easy to understand that in electronic atomization devices, determining the effective puff volume is a key step in evaluating the user's puffing behavior. The effective puff volume can be calculated by real-time airflow velocity and airflow volume. As for the calculation method of the effective puff volume, the real-time airflow velocity and the airflow volume can be multiplied to obtain the effective puff volume. This method can instantly reflect the intensity of the user's puffing and take into account the continuity of the puffing. In addition, the effective puff volume can also be calculated in other ways. For example, the effective puff volume is obtained by dividing the airflow volume by the real-time airflow velocity. This calculation method emphasizes the relationship between the airflow volume and the airflow velocity, and can also reflect the continuity and intensity of the user's puffing action; the real-time airflow velocity can also be multiplied by the weighted average of the airflow volume to obtain the effective puff volume. In this calculation method, the weight is used to adjust the degree of influence of the real-time airflow velocity and the airflow volume on the effective puff volume. The choice of these calculation methods depends on the design of the device and the definition of the effective puff volume. After determining the effective puff volume, the sound information can be determined according to the effective puff volume; specifically, the sound effect frequency can be positively correlated with the effective puff volume, and the sound effect loudness can also be positively correlated with the effective puff volume. By accurately calculating the effective suction volume, the device can more accurately judge the user's suction action and the corresponding sound information, thereby controlling the sound state of the speaker and providing a better user experience.
