[0021] The present application is further described in detail below by means of specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Similar elements in different embodiments are numbered with associated similar elements. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are provided to enable the present application to be better understood. However, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that some of the features may be omitted in different circumstances, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid the core portion of the present application being overwhelmed by excessive descriptions. For those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail. They can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0022] In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification may be combined in any appropriate manner to form various embodiments. Furthermore, the steps or actions in the method description may be reordered or adjusted in a manner readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are provided solely for the purpose of clearly describing a particular embodiment and are not intended to be mandatory, unless otherwise specified.

[0023] The serial numbers assigned to components herein, such as "first," "second," etc., are used solely to distinguish the objects being described and do not convey any sequential or technical meaning. References to "connection" and "coupling" herein, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0024] In order to solve the problem that existing atomizers cannot switch flavors quickly and intuitively, this application collects the motion data of the atomizer and determines the current gesture based on the motion data. Then, the atomizer is moved and the flavors of the atomizer are switched according to the shape of the motion. This allows the flavors of the atomizer to be switched intuitively, and has the advantages of being easy to use and simple to operate.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, an atomization control method is provided for an atomization device, the method comprising the following steps:

[0026] Collect motion data of the atomization device.

[0027] The current gesture is obtained based on the motion data recognition.

[0028] Determine whether the current gesture is a preset gesture; if so, perform the flavor switching operation.

[0029] This embodiment captures the motion data of the atomizer and identifies the current gesture, allowing it to issue commands based solely on the atomizer's movement. Determining whether to switch flavors based on the current gesture improves the convenience of flavor switching when the atomizer is operated with one hand or in low light conditions, while also enhancing the user experience and increasing user stickiness.

[0030] In some embodiments, the atomization device may be equipped with a motion sensor such as an accelerometer or a gyroscope. The motion sensor monitors the motion data of the atomization device. The motion data may include acceleration and angular velocity, etc. The acceleration and angular velocity can be used to determine the direction and trajectory of the motion, identify the gesture information corresponding to the motion data, and obtain the current gesture.

[0031] In one embodiment, performing a flavor switching operation includes:

[0032] A first mapping relationship between the current gesture and the taste information is obtained, and a taste state of the atomizer is adjusted according to the taste information obtained by mapping the current gesture.

[0033] By adjusting the flavor state of the atomizer using the flavor information mapped from the current gesture, users can achieve a flavor experience tailored to their needs. When users can adjust their atomizer to their taste preferences, they feel a greater sense of control over the product, making them more likely to use it long-term. This personalized experience can effectively increase user satisfaction and loyalty, thereby increasing user stickiness.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first mapping relationship includes a one-to-one mapping relationship, where each gesture corresponds to a flavor information. Utilizing this one-to-one mapping relationship allows for rapid matching of specific flavor information, enhancing the accuracy of flavor switching and improving the user experience when switching. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first mapping relationship may also include a one-to-many mapping relationship or a many-to-one mapping relationship.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first mapping relationship is a shift correspondence relationship. A set of flavor information lists is stored in the atomization device. The shift correspondence relationship indicates that the current gesture represents shifting back or forward a few positions in the flavor information list based on the current flavor information to obtain flavor information.

[0036] Assume that the shift correspondence indicates that the current gesture represents the flavor information in the flavor information list, shifted one position backward from the current flavor information. The current flavor information corresponding to the current flavor state of the atomizer device is located second in the flavor information list. When the current gesture is captured, the third flavor information in the flavor information list is obtained. The flavor state of the atomizer device is adjusted based on the third flavor information.

[0037] In one embodiment, the taste information includes: a taste identification.

[0038] Adjust the flavor state of the atomizer according to the flavor information obtained from the current gesture mapping, including:

[0039] A second mapping relationship between the flavor identifier and the liquid storage element list is obtained.

[0040] The liquid storage element corresponding to the second mapping relationship is connected to the atomization device according to the taste information.

[0041] For example, an atomizer may contain multiple liquid storage elements, each with a different flavor. By establishing a correspondence between flavor identifiers and liquid storage elements, the flavor identifiers in the flavor information can be accurately matched to the corresponding liquid storage element, allowing the liquid storage element to be quickly located and connected to the atomizer. This makes the entire flavor switching process smoother and enhances the user experience.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the flavor identifiers are obtained in a one-to-many relationship with the liquid storage elements in the liquid storage element list. For example, if flavor A requires the atomized liquid in liquid storage element a to be mixed with the atomized liquid in liquid storage element b, then flavor identifier A corresponds to liquid storage element a and liquid storage element b.

[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the relationship between the flavor identifiers and the liquid storage elements in the liquid storage element list is many-to-many. For example, flavor A is obtained by mixing the atomized substrate with flavor identifier a and the atomized substrate with flavor identifier b. Flavor identifier a and flavor identifier b correspond to liquid storage element a and liquid storage element b, respectively.

[0044] In one embodiment, the atomization device is a multi-chamber identifiable atomization device, comprising at least two liquid storage elements.

[0045] Different liquid storage elements can be filled with atomized substrates of different flavors.

[0046] Taste information also includes: mixing ratio.

[0047] The step of adjusting the flavor state of the atomizer according to the flavor information obtained from the current gesture mapping further includes:

[0048] The ratio of different aerosol substrates in the liquid storage element is adjusted according to the mixing ratio.

[0049] Specifically, different atomized matrices are controlled to enter the same liquid storage element according to a mixing ratio. Users can adjust the mixing ratio to prepare a suitable flavor.

[0050] In one embodiment, the atomization device is a single-chamber identifiable atomization device; the liquid storage element in the single-chamber identifiable atomization device only includes an atomization matrix of one flavor.

[0051] A single flavor atomization matrix can more concentratedly present its characteristic aroma and taste. This reduces the residue accumulation or cross-contamination problems that may result from mixing multiple flavors, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0052] The step of adjusting the flavor state of the atomizer according to the flavor information obtained from the current gesture mapping further includes:

[0053] Determine whether there is a mapping relationship between the flavor identifier and the liquid storage element; if so, prompt the user for the current flavor.

[0054] In one embodiment, the taste information also includes heating parameters.

[0055] Adjusting the flavor state of the atomizer according to the flavor information obtained from the current gesture mapping also includes:

[0056] The heating power and / or heating time of the atomizing device are adjusted according to the heating parameters.

[0057] If the aerosol base formulation allows (e.g., contains ingredients that release different flavors upon different heating profiles), the flavor profile can be fine-tuned by adjusting the heating power / temperature profile.

[0058] In one embodiment, performing the flavor switching operation further includes:

[0059] If there is a first mapping relationship between the current gesture and the taste information, but the liquid storage element corresponding to the taste information is not found, a prompt will be given to replace the liquid storage element when the atomizer is started again.

[0060] By determining that the corresponding liquid storage component does not exist, a prompt is given to replace the liquid storage component, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0061] In one embodiment, collecting motion data of the atomization device includes:

[0062] Obtain the motion and posture information of the atomization device.

[0063] When the motion and posture information is greater than a preset motion threshold, the motion and posture information is filtered.

[0064] By setting a preset motion threshold and determining whether the motion and posture information exceeds the preset motion threshold, it is possible to distinguish whether the user is intentionally operating the atomizer or accidentally touching it. This prevents false triggering, improves the user experience, reduces the power consumption of the atomizer, and increases the lifespan of the atomizer.

[0065] The motion and posture information is processed using the posture algorithm to obtain motion data.

[0066] In one embodiment, obtaining motion and posture information of the atomization device includes:

[0067] A three-axis accelerometer is used to obtain linear acceleration.

[0068] The angular velocity data is obtained using a three-axis gyroscope.

[0069] The motion and posture information of the atomization device is obtained through linear acceleration and angular velocity data.

[0070] In one embodiment, obtaining the current gesture based on the motion data recognition includes:

[0071] The motion classification algorithm is used to extract gesture shape, speed features, direction features and duration from the motion data to obtain the current gesture.

[0072] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the motion and posture information is processed using a SimpleGPT classifier and a preset reference gesture template or model parameters to obtain the current gesture.

[0073] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm is used to process the motion and posture information to obtain the current gesture.

[0074] DTW is an algorithm well-suited for comparing the similarity of two time series (e.g., circles drawn in the air) that may have different lengths and may have nonlinear distortions on the time axis. It finds the best alignment path between the two curves by "bending" the time axis and calculating a "distance" or "similarity" score.

[0075] It can be understood that the current gesture can be determined through the sequence of changes in gesture speed, gesture amplitude, trajectory shape, etc. over time.

[0076] In one embodiment, determining whether the current gesture is a preset gesture includes:

[0077] Get the motion mode characteristics of the current gesture.

[0078] The motion pattern features of the current gesture are compared with the motion pattern features of the preset gesture to obtain feature differences.

[0079] Determine whether the feature difference is within a preset difference range; if so, determine that the current gesture is a preset gesture; if not, determine that the current gesture is not a preset gesture.

[0080] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the similarity score calculated by DTW is compared with a preset threshold. If the similarity is higher than the threshold, the current gesture is determined to be a preset gesture; if the similarity is lower than the threshold, the current gesture is determined not to be a preset gesture.

[0081] In one embodiment, the atomization control method further includes:

[0082] If the atomizer is in a locked state, determine whether the current gesture is an unlocking gesture.

[0083] If the current gesture is an unlock gesture, the atomizer device is unlocked.

[0084] In one embodiment, the atomization control method further includes:

[0085] If the current gesture is not a preset gesture, it is determined whether the current gesture is an unlocking gesture.

[0086] If the current gesture is an unlock gesture, the atomizer device is unlocked.

[0087] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the atomization control method also includes: enabling or disabling a gesture switching function, adjusting gesture recognition sensitivity, managing a list of switchable flavors, and dynamically setting gestures for different flavors.

[0088] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the atomization control device includes:

[0089] The acquisition module 10 is used to acquire motion data of the atomization device.

[0090] The motion recognition module 20 is configured to recognize and obtain a current gesture based on the motion data.

[0091] The judgment execution module 30 is used to judge whether the current gesture is a preset gesture; if so, execute the flavor switching operation.

[0092] In one embodiment, the determination execution module 30 is further configured to determine whether the atomizing device is in a locked state. If the atomizing device is in a locked state, the determination execution module 30 determines whether the current gesture is an unlocking gesture. If the current gesture is an unlocking gesture, the atomizing device is unlocked.

[0093] In one embodiment, an atomization device is further provided, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the processor executes the computer program, the steps of any of the above-mentioned methods for controlling the atomization amount are implemented.

[0094] In one embodiment, the atomization device further includes a 6-axis IMU sensor. The IMU can capture the linear acceleration and angular velocity data of the device in three-dimensional space in real time and at high frequency.

[0095] In one embodiment, the 6-axis IMU sensor includes a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope. The 3-axis accelerometer is used to provide linear acceleration of the device's X, Y, and Z axes, while the 3-axis gyroscope is used to provide angular velocity data of the device's X, Y, and Z axes.

[0096] In one embodiment, the atomizing device further includes an LED indicator light for distinguishing different colors representing different flavors or modes; specific flashing indicates success / failure of gesture recognition.

[0097] The vibration motor is used to indicate a successful switch with a short vibration and a failed gesture recognition with a long vibration.

[0098] In one embodiment, a computer-readable storage medium is further provided, on which machine-readable instructions are stored. The machine-readable instructions are suitable for being loaded by a processor to execute the steps of any of the above methods.
