Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative work under the premise that the embodiments in the present application are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be exchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally a class, and are not limited to the number of objects, for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / ", generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are in a "or" relationship.

[0033] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific examples and their application scenarios.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 9 The embodiments of the present application disclose an electronic cigarette, and the disclosed electronic cigarette comprises a shell 10 and an integrated module 20.

[0035] The shell 10 is a basic component, which can provide installation and accommodation basis for the integrated module 20; the integrated module 20 is a user operation component, and the user can input relevant information through the integrated module 20 and realize operation of the electronic cigarette.

[0036] The shell 10 can include an adjacent front surface 11 and a side surface 12, and the integrated module 20 can be arranged on the side surface 12 of the shell 10, so as to reduce the space occupied by the integrated module 20 on the surface of the shell 10. Alternatively, the shell 10 can be a cuboid cylindrical structure, and the thickness dimension of the shell 10 is smaller than the length dimension and the width dimension, respectively. Of course, the shell 10 can also be an elliptical cylindrical structure or other shapes, which are not limited here.

[0037] The side surface 12 can be provided with a finger contact area 121 for a user to contact with fingers, and the integrated module 20 is arranged on the finger contact area 121. In this way, the user can operate the integrated module 20 by contacting and pressing the finger contact area 121, so as to transmit relevant information to the control module (such as the micro-processing module 60 described below) of the electronic cigarette through the integrated module 20, so as to realize information detection and operation of the electronic cigarette.

[0038] Alternatively, as shown in Figures 5 to 7 The finger contact area 121 can be provided with a mounting hole, and a limiting piece 14 is arranged in the mounting hole. The limiting piece 14 is provided with a through hole, one end of the integrated module 20 is located on the inner side of the side surface 12, and the other end of the integrated module 20 passes through the through hole to the outside of the side surface 12. The fingerprint sensor 21 can be pressed to trigger the button 22.

[0039] Exemplarily, the limiting piece 14 can be clamped in the mounting hole, so as to facilitate disassembly.

[0040] In addition, the inner side of the side surface 12 can be provided with a frame 13, and one end of the button 22 abuts against the frame 13, so as to limit the button 22 by the frame 13.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the integrated module 20 includes the fingerprint sensor 21 and the button 22, and the fingerprint sensor 21 is arranged on the outer side of the button 22. In this way, at least one of the fingerprint sensor 21 and the button 22 is triggered in the case that the finger contact area 121 is pressed. When the fingerprint sensor 21 is triggered, the fingerprint of the user can be identified, so as to subsequently determine whether the user meets the use requirements of the electronic cigarette by analyzing the fingerprint, for example, whether the user is an adult or not. When the button 22 is triggered, the electronic cigarette can be operated accordingly, so that the electronic cigarette realizes corresponding functions.

[0042] Alternatively, the fingerprint sensor 21 can adopt an ultra-narrow width side fingerprint sensor 21. Compared with a circular or square fingerprint sensor 21, the width dimension of the fingerprint sensor 21 in the embodiment is smaller, and the fingerprint sensor 21 is arranged on the side surface 12 of the shell 10, which is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the integrated module 20 in the interior and exterior of the shell 10, and further improve the miniaturization of the electronic cigarette.

[0043] It should be noted that the key 22 can have a proper stroke, such as 0.3mm±0.05mm, to provide clear tactile feedback.

[0044] The electronic cigarette in the embodiment of the present application integrates the fingerprint sensor 21 and the key 22 together, which can realize the fingerprint recognition function through the fingerprint sensor 21 and can realize the operation of the electronic cigarette through the key 22. Moreover, the integration of the fingerprint sensor 21 and the key 22 on the side surface 12 of the shell 10 can reduce the occupied space on the surface of the shell 10, thereby being beneficial to reducing the volume of the electronic cigarette and being beneficial to realizing the miniaturization design of the electronic cigarette.

[0045] In addition, compared with the mode that the fingerprint sensor 21 and the key 22 are independently arranged on the surface of the shell 10, the integration of the fingerprint sensor 21 and the key 22 on the side surface 12 of the shell 10 can also make the appearance of the shell 10 more simple, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetic appearance of the electronic cigarette. Moreover, since the occupied area on the surface of the shell 10 is reduced, the probability of accidental touch can be reduced, thereby alleviating the problem of power waste caused by accidental start of the electronic cigarette due to accidental touch.

[0046] In addition, the integration of the fingerprint sensor 21 and the key 22 in the embodiment of the present application can also alleviate the problem of complex structure caused by separately arranging the fingerprint module and the physical key on the shell 10, and can realize different functions to alleviate the problem of single function of the fingerprint module.

[0047] The integration of the fingerprint sensor 21 and the key 22 on the side surface 12 of the shell 10 can save the space occupied by the user operation interface on the front surface 11 of the shell 10, make the integrated module 20 more easily integrated on the shell 10, and make the integrated module 20 on the side surface 12 more ergonomic, thereby making the operation more convenient.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the integrated module 20 can also include a flexible circuit board 24 arranged in the shell 10. The fingerprint sensor 21 and the control module (such as the micro-processing module 60 described below) of the electronic cigarette can be connected through the flexible circuit board 24, so as to facilitate the transmission of information between the fingerprint sensor 21 and the control module.

[0049] The flexible circuit board 24 can include a first connecting portion 241, a second connecting portion 242 and a bending portion 243. The bending portion 243 is connected between the first connecting portion 241 and the second connecting portion 242, so that the first connecting portion 241 and the second connecting portion 242 can move relative to each other through the bending portion 243, thereby changing the shape of the flexible circuit board 24. Moreover, the bending portion 243 can also transmit signals between the first connecting portion 241 and the second connecting portion 242.

[0050] The first connecting part 241 is connected with the fingerprint sensor 21, and the second connecting part 242 is connected with the button 22; in addition, the second connecting part 242 is also used for electrically connecting with the control module of the electronic cigarette, so as to transmit signals between the fingerprint sensor 21 and the control module.

[0051] In addition, the fingerprint sensor 21, the first connecting part 241, the second connecting part 242 and the button 22 can be sequentially stacked, so that the layout space of these components in the shell 10 can be optimized under the condition of meeting the signal transmission requirement, thereby improving the space utilization in the shell 10.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the integrated module 20 can further include a reinforcing layer 23, which is arranged in the shell 10 and stacked between the fingerprint sensor 21 and the button 22. Based on this arrangement, when the user applies a pressing force to the fingerprint sensor 21 by pressing the finger contact area 121, the reinforcing layer 23 can support the fingerprint sensor 21, thereby effectively alleviating the problem of deformation or even breakage of the fingerprint sensor 21 caused by long-term pressing, and facilitating to improve the service life of the fingerprint sensor 21.

[0053] In addition, when the fingerprint sensor 21 receives a pressing force, the pressing force can be transmitted to the reinforcing layer 23 and then to the button 22 through the reinforcing layer 23, so that the button 22 is triggered.

[0054] Optionally, the reinforcing layer 23 can be a metal reinforcing sheet, and of course, it can also be in other forms, which are not limited here.

[0055] Further, the fingerprint sensor 21, the first connecting part 241, the reinforcing layer 23, the second connecting part 242 and the button 22 can be sequentially stacked, so that the layout space of these components in the shell 10 can be optimized under the condition of meeting the signal transmission requirement, thereby improving the space utilization in the shell 10.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the electronic cigarette can further include a feedback module 30 arranged in the shell 10 and electrically connected with the integrated module 20. Optionally, the feedback module 30 can be arranged on the inner side of the shell 10, or on the outer side of the shell 10, or part of the structure of the feedback module 30 is arranged on the inner side of the shell 10 and the other part of the structure is arranged on the outer side of the shell 10, as long as the information can be fed back to the user, and the specific arrangement form is not limited.

Optionally, the feedback module 30 can be electrically connected to a micro-processing module 60 of the electronic cigarette.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the electronic cigarette can include the feedback module 30 and the micro-processing module 60 respectively arranged in the shell 10, wherein the micro-processing module 60 can be arranged in the shell 10. The feedback module 30 and the integrated module 20 are respectively electrically connected to the micro-processing module 60 to realize signal transmission.

[0059] Optionally, the feedback module 30 can include at least one of an LED light, a display screen, a vibrator, and a buzzer. Based on this, the feedback module 30 can feed back information of the electronic cigarette to a user through sound and light.

[0060] In some embodiments, the electronic cigarette can further include a heating module 40 arranged in the shell 10 and electrically connected to the integrated module 20 to realize basic functions of the electronic cigarette. Optionally, the heating module 40 can be electrically connected to the integrated module 20 in a direct electrical connection or an indirect electrical connection through a control module of the electronic cigarette, which can be selected according to actual conditions. For example, the electronic cigarette can include the heating module 40 and the micro-processing module 60 arranged in the shell 10, and the heating module 40 and the integrated module 20 can be respectively electrically connected to the micro-processing module 60 to control the heating module 40 to heat through the micro-processing module 60, thereby realizing basic functions of the electronic cigarette.

[0061] In some embodiments, the electronic cigarette can further include a power management module 50 arranged in the shell 10 and electrically connected to the integrated module 20 to realize management of electric energy of the electronic cigarette through the power management module 50, thereby improving the endurance of the electronic cigarette.

[0062] Optionally, the power management module 50 can be electrically connected to the integrated module 20 in a direct electrical connection or an indirect electrical connection through a control module of the electronic cigarette, which can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0064] The embodiments of the present application also disclose an identification method of an electronic cigarette, which is used for identifying the identity information of a user of the electronic cigarette, and the electronic cigarette herein is the above-mentioned electronic cigarette. The disclosed identification method comprises:

[0065] receiving the fingerprint information of the user and the pressing signal in the case that the finger contact area 121 is pressed;

[0066] identifying whether the fingerprint information matches the preset fingerprint information;

[0067] starting the heating function of the electronic cigarette in the case that the fingerprint information matches the preset fingerprint information.

[0068] Based on the above steps, the fingerprint of the user can be identified and compared before the electronic cigarette is started. When the fingerprints are consistent, it indicates that the user meets the use requirements, and in this case, the electronic cigarette can realize its basic functions for the user to use. When the fingerprints are inconsistent, it indicates that the user does not meet the use requirements, and in this case, the electronic cigarette cannot realize its basic functions, so that the use of the electronic cigarette by the user who does not meet the use requirements can be effectively prevented.

[0069] Optionally, the receiving of the fingerprint information of the user and the pressing signal comprises:

[0070] controlling to wake up the electronic cigarette and / or detect the power information of the electronic cigarette in the case that the pressing time meets the first condition;

[0071] controlling to identify the fingerprint information in the case that the pressing time meets the second condition.

[0072] Optionally, the first condition can refer to less than a preset time, and the second condition can refer to greater than or equal to the preset time. In addition to this, it can also be other forms, which are not limited herein.

[0073] Exemplarily, the preset time can be 0.5s, and of course, it can also be other numerical values, which are not limited herein.

[0074] Specifically, when the pressing time is less than 0.5s, it can be defined as short pressing, at this time, the electronic cigarette can be controlled to wake up or the electronic cigarette can be controlled to detect the power information so as to make the user know the use of the electronic cigarette.

[0075] When the pressing time is greater than or equal to 0.5s, it can be defined as continuous pressing, at this time, the fingerprint sensor 21 can be woken up so as to identify the fingerprint of the user through the fingerprint sensor 21.

[0076] Optionally, the electronic cigarette can include a micro-processing module 60, an integrated module 20 and a power management module 50, wherein the integrated module 20 includes a fingerprint sensor 21 and a button 22.

[0077] In the case where the pressing signal is not received, the micro-processing module 60 is in a standby state and controls the fingerprint sensor 21 to be in a power-off state.

[0078] In the case where the pressing time meets the first condition, the micro-processing module 60 is switched to a wake-up state and controls the power management module 50 to detect the power information.

[0079] In the case where the pressing time meets the second condition, the micro-processing module 60 controls the fingerprint sensor 21 to identify the fingerprint information, and controls the fingerprint sensor 21 to be switched to a power-off state after the matching of the fingerprint information is completed.

[0080] The electronic cigarette in the embodiment of the present application has a three-level power consumption management mechanism, which includes:

[0081] The ultra-low power consumption mode: in the case where the button 22 is not pressed, the micro-processing module 60 is controlled to be in a standby state, and the micro-processing module 60 controls the fingerprint sensor 21 to be in a power-off state, at this time, the power consumption of the micro-processing module 60 and the fingerprint sensor 21 is low, which is beneficial to improve the endurance of the electronic cigarette.

[0082] The low power consumption mode: the finger contact area 121 is lightly touched, so that the pressing time of the button 22 is less than a preset time, such as less than 0.5s, at this time, the micro-processing module 60 is woken up and controls the power management module 50 to detect the power information and controls the fingerprint sensor 21 to continue to be in a power-off state, so as to reduce the power consumption.

[0083] The normal power consumption mode: the finger contact area 121 is pressed for a long time, so that the pressing time of the button 22 is greater than or equal to a preset time, such as greater than or equal to 0.5s, at this time, the micro-processing module 60 controls the fingerprint sensor 21 to scan and identify the fingerprint of the user, and sends the identified fingerprint information to the micro-processing module 60, so as to compare the identified fingerprint information with the preset fingerprint information through the micro-processing module 60.

[0084] When the recognized fingerprint information matches the preset fingerprint information, the micro-processing module 60 determines that the user meets the use requirement, so that the user can use the electronic cigarette; when the recognized fingerprint information does not match the preset fingerprint information, the micro-processing module 60 determines that the user does not meet the use requirement, so that the user cannot use the electronic cigarette.

[0085] After the fingerprint identification, the micro-processing module 60 controls the fingerprint sensor 21 to automatically switch to a low-power consumption mode, so that the fingerprint sensor 21 can be prevented from being in a long-time identification state, which is beneficial to reduce the power consumption of the electronic cigarette and prolong the endurance of the electronic cigarette.

[0086] Optionally, the matching of the recognized fingerprint information and the preset fingerprint information comprises:

[0087] In the case that the fingerprint information matches the preset information, the fingerprint identification success information is displayed.

[0088] In the case that the fingerprint information does not match the preset fingerprint information, the fingerprint identification failure information is displayed.

[0089] Specifically, in the case that the fingerprint information does not match the preset fingerprint information, i.e., in the case of fingerprint identification failure, 3s input shielding is started to prevent the fingerprint sensor 21 from being repeatedly triggered.

[0090] In addition, the identification state can also be fed back by the feedback module 30 to prompt the user. For example, the feedback module 30 can adopt an LED lamp, which can display green constant light after the fingerprint identification is successful, and can display red light and flash 3 times after the fingerprint identification fails.

[0091] In the embodiment of the application, the fingerprint identification process is as follows:

[0092] The user presses the integrated module 20 to trigger the button 22, and wakes up the micro-processing module 60;

[0093] If the pressing time is too short and does not reach the preset time (for example, less than 0.5s), the fingerprint sensor 21 is not triggered, and actions such as power detection are performed;

[0094] If the pressing time exceeds the preset time (for example, greater than or equal to 0.5s), the micro-processing module 60 controls the fingerprint sensor 21 to start to perform fingerprint scanning and identification;

[0095] If the recognized fingerprint information matches the preset information successfully, a preset function is performed, such as informing the user of the matching success through an LED lamp, a vibrator, a display screen, a buzzer, etc.

[0096] If the identified fingerprint information does not match the preset information, a time-limited lock (e.g., 3s) is entered, at which time the micro-processing module 60 shields the input information of the button 22 to avoid continuous false triggering.

[0097] In summary, the electronic cigarette in the embodiments of the present application integrates the fingerprint sensor 21 and the button 22 on the side 12 of the shell 10, so that the electronic cigarette can be miniaturized while having the fingerprint identification and operation functions to avoid use by minors; the fingerprint function can wake up through the button 22, the fingerprint sensor 21 is in the standby state, the overall power consumption of the electronic cigarette in the standby state is reduced, and the battery life of the electronic cigarette is prolonged.

[0098] The embodiments of the present application are described above in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above-described specific embodiments, and the above-described specific embodiments are only illustrative but not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many forms under the inspiration of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application and the scope protected by the claims.
