[0061] Schematically, please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of an aerosol generating device system provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application, as Figure 1 shown, the aerosol generating device system includes an aerosol generating device 110.

[0062] In one example, a first component belonging to a consumable is installed in the aerosol generating device 110, for example: a heating component. During the operation of the aerosol generating device 110, when the suction operation on the aerosol generating device meets the counting condition, the number of suction operations on the aerosol generating device is counted. For example: each time the aerosol generating device receives a suction operation, the corresponding number of suction operations on the aerosol generating device is incremented by one; or for example: when the number of received suction operations reaches 3 times, the corresponding number of suction operations on the aerosol generating device is incremented by one.

[0063] In one example, when the number of suction operations of the aerosol generating device meets the first condition (for example: the number of suction operations reaches 100 times), a first prompt message is triggered to prompt the replacement of the first component of the aerosol generating device. For example: display the prompt content, and the prompt content is "The heating component needs to be replaced".

[0064] Optionally, the aerosol generating device 110 includes at least one of an electrically heated device or a carbon heated device.

[0065] Combined with the above aerosol generating device system, the device detection method provided by the embodiments of this application will be described in detail. Schematically, please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a flowchart of a device detection method provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method includes the following steps 210 to step 230.

[0066] Step 210, operate the aerosol generating device.

[0067] Schematically, after the aerosol generating device is powered on, the heating component is heated by the battery. After the heating component warms up, it transfers heat to the aerosol generating substrate, causing the aerosol generating substrate to reach its boiling point and atomize, generating aerosol in a suspended state for the user to inhale. During the heating process, the aerosol generating substrate is consumed.

[0068] Schematically, there are multiple different components in the aerosol generating device. Among them, some components will experience wear and tear after a certain usage duration. Therefore, in order to ensure the usage experience of the aerosol generating device, it is necessary to regularly replace these components that have experienced wear and tear.

[0069] Optionally, the components in the aerosol generating device that experience wear and tear include at least one of the following:

[0070] · The aerosol generating substrate. The aerosol generating substrate will experience wear and tear during the atomization process. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly replace the aerosol generating substrate.

[0071] · The battery assembly. Over time, the battery life of the battery assembly will gradually decline. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly replace the battery assembly to provide sufficient power for the aerosol generating device.

[0072] · The heating component. For example, the heating wire. During the process of atomizing the aerosol generating substrate in the aerosol generating device using the heating principle of the heating component, over time, the heating component will age and be unable to provide enough heat energy for atomization. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly replace the heating component in the aerosol generating device to ensure the atomization efficiency.

[0073] · The oil storage cotton. During the process of using the oil storage cotton to store and filter the aerosol generating substrate, the oil storage cotton will gradually age, affecting its oil storage performance and filtering effect. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly replace the oil storage cotton of the aerosol generating device to ensure its corresponding oil storage performance and filtering effect.

[0074] Step 220, when the suction operation on the aerosol generating device meets the counting condition, count the number of suction operations of the aerosol generating device to obtain the counting result corresponding to the number of suction operations.

[0075] Schematically, the suction operation means that when the user inhales the aerosol generating device, a negative pressure will be generated inside the aerosol generating device. This negative pressure will cause the aerosol generating device to flow through the oil guiding medium (such as the oil storage cotton) to the heating component. And at this time, the battery assembly in the aerosol generating device will continuously supply power to the heating component to keep it in a heated state, using the heated state of the heating component to evaporate the aerosol generating substrate on the surface of the oil storage cotton at a high temperature, atomizing it into aerosol for the user to inhale.

[0076] Schematically, counting the number of puffs of an aerosol generating device means accumulating the number of puffs of the aerosol generating device within a certain time range to obtain an accumulated calculation result.

[0077] Optionally, the puff operation corresponds to the counting result. For example, one puff operation corresponds to one counting result; or, the puff operation does not correspond to the counting result. For example, three puff operations correspond to one counting result. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0078] Optionally, the counting method for the number of puffs includes at least one of the following methods:

[0079] First, whenever a puff operation on the aerosol generating device is received, the number of puffs of the aerosol generating device is incremented by one. For example, in the case where three puff operations on the aerosol generating device have been received, the counting result of the number of puffs is 3. If a fourth puff operation on the aerosol generating device is received, the counting result of the number of puffs is incremented by 1, so the counting result is updated to 4.

[0080] Second, when the number of puff operations on the aerosol generating device received reaches a preset number threshold, the puff operation on the aerosol generating device is incremented by one. For example, in the case where three puff operations on the aerosol generating device have been received, the counting result of the number of puffs is 1. If a sixth puff operation on the aerosol generating device is received, and every three puff operations correspond to one count, the counting result of the number of puffs is incremented by 1, so the counting result is updated to 2.

[0081] Third, when the number of puff operations on the aerosol generating device received reaches a preset number threshold, the puff operation on the aerosol generating device is counted, and the number of counts corresponds to the number of puff operations. For example, in the case where three puff operations on the aerosol generating device have been received, the counting result of the number of puffs is 3. If a sixth puff operation on the aerosol generating device is received, the counting result of the number of puffs is incremented by 3, so the counting result is updated to 6.

[0082] Fourth, when the receiving duration of the puff operation on the aerosol generating device reaches a preset duration threshold, the puff operation on the aerosol generating device is incremented by one. For example, in the case of receiving multiple puff operations on the aerosol generating device, the number of puffs of the aerosol generating device is incremented by one every five seconds.

[0083] It should be noted that the above counting methods for the number of puffs of the aerosol generating device are only schematic examples, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0084] Step 230, when the counting result meets the first condition, trigger the first prompt message.

[0085] The first prompt message is used to remind to replace the first component in the aerosol generating device.

[0086] Illustratively, the first prompt message indicates that the first component in the current aerosol generating device is in a state to be replaced.

[0087] Optionally, the first condition that the counting result meets includes at least one of the following cases:

[0088] First, the counting result reaches a pre-set number threshold, for example: the counting result reaches 1000 times.

[0089] Second, the counting duration of the counting result reaches a pre-set duration threshold, for example: the counting duration of multiple counting results reaches 50000 seconds;

[0090] Third, the number of counts corresponding to the counting result reaches a pre-set number threshold, for example: the counting result is 300 times, and the counting result is incremented by 3 every time 3 suction operations are received, so the number of counts is 100 times. When the number of counts reaches 100 times, it is considered that the counting result meets the first condition.

[0091] It should be noted that the above cases where the counting result meets the first condition are only illustrative examples, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0092] Optionally, the first prompt message includes various forms of expression. Below, the information expression forms corresponding to the first prompt message will be described in detail.

[0093] In some embodiments, display text prompt content in the first area of the aerosol generating device, where the text prompt content indicates a reminder to replace the first component in the aerosol generating device; or, play alarm prompt content, where the alarm prompt content indicates a reminder to replace the first component in the aerosol generating device; or, display a prompt animation in the second area of the aerosol generating device, where the prompt animation indicates a reminder to replace the first component in the aerosol generating device; or, display the first state corresponding to the first indicator light in the aerosol generating device, where the first state is used to remind to replace the first component in the aerosol generating device.

[0094] First, there is a first area displayed in the aerosol generating device. When the counting result meets the first condition, text prompt content is displayed in the first area. For example: the heating component needs to be replaced currently, and the semantic result expressed by the text prompt content is consistent with the reminder to replace the heating component in the aerosol generating device.

[0095] Optionally, the text prompt content is continuously displayed in the first area, that is, the text prompt content will be displayed in the first area before the first component is replaced; or, the text prompt content is displayed in the first area based on a preset display duration. For example, the text prompt content is continuously displayed in the first area for five seconds, and after the display duration reaches five seconds, the text prompt content is cancelled from being displayed in the first area; or, the text prompt content is displayed in the first area in the form of character scrolling. For example, the text prompt content is: The heating wire needs to be replaced. The text prompt content contains seven characters, and these seven characters are alternately scrolled and displayed in the first area.

[0096] Second, the aerosol generating device has a sound playback function. Therefore, when the counting result meets the first condition, the aerosol generating device plays an alarm prompt content to remind that the first component in the current aerosol generating device is in a state to be replaced. For example, when the counting result meets the first condition, the alarm device installed in the aerosol generating device makes a sound to remind of replacing the first component. Another example is that when the counting result meets the first condition, the motor device installed in the aerosol generating device vibrates to remind of replacing the first component. Still another example is that when the counting result meets the first condition, the voice module installed in the aerosol generating device plays the voice content: The first component needs to be replaced currently.

[0097] Third, a second area is displayed in the aerosol generating device. When the counting result meets the first condition, a prompt animation is played in the second area, and the prompt animation indicates a reminder to replace the first component in the aerosol generating device.

[0098] Fourth, a first indicator light is provided in the aerosol generating device. When the counting result meets the first condition, the first state corresponding to the first indicator light is displayed, and the first state is used to remind of replacing the first component in the aerosol generating device. For example, the first indicator light is in an off state, and when the counting result meets the first condition, the on state corresponding to the first indicator light is displayed.

[0099] In the device detection method provided by the embodiments of the present application, during the operation of the aerosol generating device, whenever a suction operation on the aerosol generating device is received, the number of suction operations on the aerosol generating device is counted. When the number of suction operations meets the preset conditions, a first prompt message is triggered, and the first prompt message is used to remind of replacing the first component in the aerosol generating device. That is, the aerosol generating device is detected in real time for the suction operation and counted, and according to the counting result, the replacement of the first component in the aerosol generating device is timely reminded, which can improve the component replacement efficiency in the aerosol generating device and enhance the user product usage experience.

[0100] In some embodiments, the reminder process for the first component in the aerosol generating device is described in detail. Schematically, please refer to Figure 3 , which shows the flowchart of the device detection method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. That is, before step 230, there is also step 230a, and after step 230, there are also steps 241 to 242. As Figure 3 shown, the method further includes the following steps.

[0101] Step 230a, when the counting result reaches the second number threshold and does not reach the first number threshold, trigger the second prompt message.

[0102] Among them, the first condition corresponds to the first number threshold, the second prompt message is used to remind that the counting result is about to reach the first number threshold, and the second number threshold is less than the first number threshold.

[0103] Schematically, when the first condition is implemented as the first number threshold, if the counting result reaches the second number threshold but does not reach the first number threshold, trigger the second prompt message. Among them, the second prompt message indicates that the current counting result is about to reach the first number threshold. That is to say, the second prompt message is used to give a warning prompt for the counting result to reach the first number threshold.

[0104] Step 241, detect the replacement status of the first component to obtain the replacement result corresponding to the first component.

[0105] In some embodiments, a first switch is provided in the aerosol generating device. The opening and closing state of the first switch is related to the replacement result. Detect the opening and closing state of the first switch to obtain the replacement result corresponding to the first component.

[0106] In this embodiment, a first switch is provided in the aerosol generating device. The first switch includes two states: the open state or the closed state. The opening and closing state of the first switch is used to determine whether the first component in the aerosol generating device has been replaced.

[0107] In a realizable case, if the first switch is in the closed state, it means that the first component in the aerosol generating device is not in the replacement process. At this time, the first component may be in the replaced state, or the first component may be in the unreplaced state.

[0108] In another realizable case, if the first switch is in the open state, it means that the first component in the aerosol generating device is in the replacement process.

[0109] In another feasible situation, if it is detected that the first switch is adjusted from an open state to a closed state, or it is detected that the first switch is adjusted from a closed state to an open state, it indicates that the first component is in a replacement state and the replacement has been completed.

[0110] In some embodiments, when it is detected that the adjustment time corresponding to the state adjustment process of the first switch meets the first time condition, it is determined that the replacement of the first component is completed, and the state adjustment process includes the following: adjusting from an open state to a closed state; or, adjusting from a closed state to an open state.

[0111] In some embodiments, when the first switch is not detected to trigger a state adjustment process, it is determined that the first component is in a non-replaced state, and the state adjustment process includes the following: adjusting from an open state to a closed state; or, adjusting from a closed state to an open state.

[0112] In this embodiment, the replacement result corresponding to the first component is determined by detecting the open and closed state of the first switch. For example, if it is detected that the time it takes for the first switch to be adjusted from an open state to a closed state is greater than 1 second, it indicates that the first component has been replaced. For another example, if no adjustment process of the first switch is detected, or the time it takes for the first switch to be adjusted from an open state to a closed state is less than 1 second, it indicates that the first component has not been replaced.

[0113] Step 242, when the replacement result meets the replacement success condition, the number of puffs is counted and reset to obtain a result of the number of puffs being reset.

[0114] Illustratively, if the replacement result is that the first component in the aerosol generating device has been replaced, the current accumulated counting result is reset, that is, after the reset result is obtained, the puffing operations received by the aerosol generating device are counted again.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first condition includes a first number threshold; obtaining multiple first puff parameters of the aerosol generating device within a specified time range, the first puff parameters including at least one of the total puff duration, the number of puffs, the operation duration corresponding to a single puff operation, or the interval duration between two adjacent puff operations; extracting the puff feature representations corresponding to the multiple first puff parameters respectively; obtaining a reference feature representation corresponding to the aerosol generating device, the reference feature representation is used to indicate a reference puff parameter corresponding to the aerosol generating device under preset conditions; based on the characteristic distance between the puff feature representation and the reference feature representation, adjusting the first number threshold to obtain a third number threshold.

[0116] In this embodiment, taking the first condition being implemented as the first number threshold as an example, the first number threshold is also provided with a function of automatically calibrating the first number threshold according to the user's puffing habits.

[0117] In this embodiment, a plurality of first suction parameters of the aerosol generating device within a specified time range are obtained, including at least one of the total suction duration, the number of suctions, the operation duration corresponding to a single suction operation, or the interval duration between two adjacent suction operations. The suction feature representations corresponding to the plurality of first suction parameters are extracted. For example, for the total suction duration, the total suction duration in different time periods is extracted, a plurality of data intervals are pre-divided, the frequency in each interval is calculated, a histogram corresponding to the total suction duration is generated, and the interval with the highest frequency in the histogram is selected as the suction feature representation corresponding to the total suction duration.

[0118] In this embodiment, the reference feature representation is the feature representation corresponding to the suction parameters generated by the aerosol generating device under the preset operating conditions.

[0119] In this embodiment, according to the feature distance between the suction feature representation and the reference feature representation, the first number threshold is increased or decreased to obtain the third number threshold, and the third number threshold is used as the first condition. Wherein, if the suction feature representation is greater than the reference feature representation, the first number threshold is increased; if the suction feature representation is less than the reference feature representation, the first number threshold is decreased.

[0120] In the device detection method provided by the embodiment of the present application, during the operation of the aerosol generating device, whenever a suction operation on the aerosol generating device is received, the number of suctions of the aerosol generating device is counted. When the number of suctions meets the preset conditions, a first prompt message is triggered. The first prompt message is used to remind to replace the first component in the aerosol generating device. That is, the aerosol generating device is detected in real time when it performs a suction operation and is counted, and the first component in the aerosol generating device is reminded to be replaced in time according to the counting result, which can improve the component replacement efficiency of the aerosol generating device and enhance the user's product use experience.

[0121] Schematically, please refer to Figure 4 , which shows the flowchart of the device detection method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, the method includes the following steps.

[0122] Step 410, add a touch screen switch at the position of the heating component.

[0123] When developing and designing the hardware circuit, a touch screen switch is added at the position of the heating component to detect in real time whether the heating component is replaced. If the heating wire is replaced, the touch screen switch needs to be turned on. If the heating component replacement is completed, the touch screen switch is turned off.

[0124] Step 420, configure the function module.

[0125] The aerosol generating device is programmed with functional applications for programming various functions of the aerosol generating device, such as voice control function, display function, heating function, motor vibration function, etc.

[0126] Step 430, add a counting module.

[0127] The software adds a counter in the flash memory with an initial value of 0, and the data increments by 1.

[0128] Step 440, count the number of times through the microphone function.

[0129] Through the microphone function, data is superimposed: the software judges through the high and low levels of the microphone. (The principle of the microphone does not define the output high and low levels according to the hardware. For example, high level = count the suction operation, and low level means no counting. When the software detects a high level, the suction count is incremented by one and the data is superimposed. Otherwise, the counting result remains unchanged.

[0130] If the counting result is greater than 1000 times, execute step 450; otherwise, repeat step 440.

[0131] Step 450, remind the user to replace the heating component.

[0132] If the counting result is greater than 1000 times, trigger a first reminder message to remind the user to replace the heating component.

[0133] The aerosol generating device continuously detects the touch switch of the heating component at intervals greater than 1 second: when the duration from the touch switch being opened to closed is greater than 1 second, it indicates that the heating component has been replaced. If no opening or closing action of the touch switch is detected, it is defaulted that the heating component has not been replaced, and step 470 is executed.
