It should also be understood that the terms "include," "comprising," "having," and the like specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Furthermore, the term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.

[0045] As mentioned in the background, with the widespread adoption of mobile devices such as cell phones, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a trend, and portable smart devices (such as smart watches and smart electronic vaporizers) that connect to mobile devices are proliferating. However, existing smart electronic vaporizers suffer from excessive power consumption when interacting with mobile devices. For example, when transmitting user puff data and other information to a mobile device, to ensure timely acquisition of puff data, the electronic vaporizer must remain awake, resulting in excessive power consumption.

[0046] Based on the above reasons, in an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an electronic atomizer, which includes a display screen 2, a wireless communication module 4, a wake-up circuit 6, a controller 8 and a power supply module 10. The wireless communication module 4 is wirelessly connected to the mobile terminal 30; the wake-up circuit 6 is used to output a sleep interrupt signal; the controller 8 is respectively connected to the display screen 2, the wireless communication module 4 and the wake-up circuit 6, and the controller 8 is configured to output an electrical signal when receiving the sleep interrupt signal; the power supply module 10 is respectively connected to the display screen 2, the wireless communication module 4, the wake-up circuit 6 and the controller 8, and the power supply module 10 outputs a supply voltage to the display screen 2 and the wireless communication module 4 when receiving the electrical signal.

[0047] Among them, such as Figure 1As shown, the power supply terminal of display screen 2 is connected to the first output terminal of power supply module 10; the power supply terminal of wireless communication module 4 is connected to the second output terminal of power supply module 10, and the input terminal of wireless communication module 4 is used for wireless communication with mobile terminal 30; the first input terminal of controller 8 is connected to the output terminal of wireless communication module 4, the output terminal of controller 8 is connected to the input terminal of display screen 2, the power supply terminal of controller 8 is connected to the third output terminal of power supply module 10, and the control terminal of controller 8 is connected to the controlled terminal of power supply module 10. The power supply terminal of wake-up circuit 6 is connected to the fourth output terminal of power supply module 10, and the output terminal of wake-up circuit 6 is connected to the second input terminal of control module 10. Wireless communication module 4 is used for wireless communication with mobile terminal 30 (such as a smartphone), for example, via technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC, and can receive information such as incoming call reminders sent by mobile terminal 30. Both the sleep interrupt signal and the electrical signal can refer to high-level or low-level signals. The choice of high-level or low-level signal can be adaptively set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0048] For example, when the electronic atomizer's controller 8 is in a dormant state, the power supply module 10 reduces the supply voltage and current output to the controller 8 and stops supplying power to other functional modules (such as the wireless communication module 4 and the display screen 2) to reduce power consumption. Upon receiving a dormant interrupt signal from the wake-up circuit 6, the electronic atomizer's controller 8 switches from the dormant state to the awake state. The dormant interrupt signal can be triggered by a user's usage behavior, such as pressing a button or taking a puff, or by an external event, such as an overflow from the timer clock module 62 or a remote wake-up signal from the mobile terminal 30, converted by the wake-up circuit 6. When the controller 8 switches to the awake state, it outputs an electrical signal to the power supply module 10 to activate it, causing it to power the display screen 2 and the wireless communication module 4. This ensures that high-power components such as the display screen 2 and the wireless communication module 4 are activated only when needed, preventing the display screen 2 and the wireless communication module 4 from remaining in operation when no interaction between the electronic atomizer and the mobile terminal 30 is required. This reduces power consumption during interaction between the electronic atomizer and the mobile terminal 30. Once the power supply module 10 supplies power to the display screen 2 and the wireless communication module 4, the wireless communication module 4 can complete the reception of the information sent by the mobile terminal 30 and transmit it to the controller 8. After decoding, conversion, and other processing by the controller 8, the display screen 2 is driven by the display driver in the controller 8 to display the information from the mobile terminal 30 (such as incoming call reminder information), so that the user can obtain the incoming call reminder and other information of the mobile terminal 30 through the electronic atomizer, which can simplify the tediousness of the user carrying other portable mobile terminals 30 when going out, and can be used for multiple purposes to improve the user experience. Secondly, using the display screen 2 as the display carrier of information can flexibly display text, video, pictures and other content, which is more vivid and increases the fun and extensiveness of the Internet.

[0049] The above-mentioned electronic atomizer is provided with a wake-up circuit 6 and a controller 8 which is configured to output an electrical signal to activate the power supply module 10 only when a sleep interrupt signal is received, so that the power supply module 10 supplies power to the display screen 2 and the wireless communication module 4 only when the electronic atomizer and the mobile terminal 30 need to interact, thereby reducing unnecessary power loss; and using the display screen 2 as a display carrier for information, it can flexibly display text, video, pictures and other content, which is more vivid and increases the fun and breadth of the interconnection.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the wake-up circuit 6 includes a timing clock module 62. The timing clock module 62 is connected to the power supply module 10 and the controller 8 respectively, and is used to output a sleep interrupt signal at a fixed time.

[0051] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the power supply terminal of the timing clock module 62 is connected to the fourth output terminal of the power supply module 10, and the output terminal of the timing clock is connected to the second input terminal of the control module. The timing clock module 62 may include components such as a clock source (e.g., a crystal oscillator, a ceramic oscillator, or an RC oscillator), a frequency divider, a timer, an interrupt controller 8, and a clock management unit. The specific structure is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] For example, through the timing function of the timing clock module 62, when the preset time threshold is reached, a sleep interrupt signal is output, thereby periodically waking up the electronic atomizer, so that it maintains a low power consumption state when it does not need to interact with the mobile terminal 30, and quickly wakes up and performs tasks when needed, thereby effectively reducing the overall power consumption of the electronic atomizer and extending the battery life.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the wake-up circuit 6 includes an airflow detection module 64. The airflow detection module 64 is connected to the power supply module 10 and the controller 8 respectively. The airflow detection module 64 is used to output a sleep interrupt signal when airflow is detected.

[0054] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the power supply terminal of the airflow detection module 64 is connected to the fourth output terminal of the power supply module 10, and the output terminal of the airflow detection module 64 is connected to the second input terminal of the control module. The airflow detection module 64 may include a sensor (such as a thermistor, infrared sensor, or capacitive sensor) and a signal processing circuit to detect changes in airflow generated by a user's puff.

[0055] For example, when a user inhales, airflow passes through the sensor in the airflow detection module 64. The sensor detects the change in airflow and outputs an electrical signal whose amplitude is related to the airflow intensity. This electrical signal is then filtered, amplified, and shaped by the signal processing circuit in the airflow detection module 64 to ensure signal stability and reliability. The processed electrical signal is then converted into a sleep interrupt signal for output.

[0056] In this embodiment, a specific and feasible implementation method is provided for realizing the wake-up circuit 6.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the display screen 2 is one of an LED display screen, an LCD display screen, an OLED display screen, a Micro-LED display screen, and a Mini-LED display screen.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the power supply module 10 includes a battery cell 102 and a power management circuit 104. The power management circuit 104 is connected to the battery cell 102, the display screen 2, the wireless communication module 4 and the controller 8 respectively, and is used to provide a power supply voltage when receiving an electrical signal.

[0059] Among them, the battery cell 102 refers to the battery unit, which is the main part of the power supply module 10 that stores electrical energy and is responsible for storing the electrical energy required during the use of the electronic atomizer. The battery cell 102 can be any type of chemical battery, such as a lithium-ion battery, a lithium polymer battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, etc. The power management circuit 104 is used to manage and control the power output of the battery cell 102 and is responsible for converting the DC voltage of the battery cell 102 into a voltage and current suitable for the operation of the various components of the electronic atomizer. The power management circuit 104 may include a voltage regulator, a current control circuit, a protection circuit, etc.

[0060] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the input of the power management circuit 104 is connected to the output of the battery cell 102. When the electronic atomizer is in sleep mode, the power management circuit 104 cuts off or reduces power to all components except for essential circuits (such as the wake-up circuit 6 and controller 8). This minimizes power consumption in the battery cell 102, achieving low power consumption. When the electronic atomizer needs to be awakened, the wake-up circuit 6 (such as the timing clock module 62 or the airflow detection module 64) outputs a sleep interrupt signal to the controller 8. Upon receiving the sleep interrupt signal, the controller 8 switches from sleep mode to wake mode and outputs an electrical signal to the power management circuit 104. Upon receiving the electrical signal from the controller 8, the power management circuit 104 activates the voltage regulator and current control circuit, and begins outputting the supply voltage from the battery cell 102 to components requiring operation, such as the display screen 2 and the wireless communication module 4. After receiving power, the various components of the electronic atomizer activate and enter operation. The electronic atomizer can now perform predetermined tasks, such as data display and wireless communication. After the task is completed, the controller 8 may send a command again to make the power management circuit 104 stop supplying power, and return itself to the sleep state, waiting for the next wake-up signal.

[0061] In this embodiment, the battery cell 102 and the power management circuit 104 are used to jointly realize the switching of the electronic atomizer from the sleep state to the awake state, and provide the necessary power for the normal operation of the electronic atomizer in the awake state, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the electronic atomizer in the non-working state and extending the battery life.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the electronic atomizer further includes a charging module, which is connected between the power supply module 10 and an external power source.

[0063] In this embodiment, the electronic atomizer can be charged by setting a charging module in the electronic atomizer. When the electronic atomizer is placed on a charging base or connected to an external power supply, the charging module will automatically start charging, eliminating the need for the user to frequently replace the battery cell 102 of the electronic atomizer, making it more convenient to use.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the charging module includes a voltage conversion circuit and a charging protection circuit. The voltage conversion circuit is connected between the power supply module 10 and the external power supply; the charging protection circuit is connected between the voltage conversion circuit and the external power supply.

[0065] The voltage conversion circuit is used to convert input voltage into different output voltages to meet the varying voltage requirements of electronic devices. In the charging module, the voltage conversion circuit is responsible for converting the fixed voltage provided by an external power source (such as a USB port, power outlet, or charging station) into a voltage suitable for charging the battery cell 102 of the electronic atomizer. The voltage conversion circuit may include one or more components, such as voltage regulators, transformers, and transistors, which work together to achieve voltage conversion through switching or regulation. For example, if the external power source provides 5V and the battery cell 102 of the electronic atomizer requires a charging voltage of 4.2V, the voltage conversion circuit will reduce the 5V voltage to 4.2V to ensure that the battery cell 102 can be charged at the correct voltage. The charging protection circuit monitors the status of the battery cell 102 during charging and, if a potential danger is detected, takes action to prevent damage to the battery cell 102 or a safety incident. The charging protection circuit may include sensors such as voltage detection, current detection, and temperature detection. These sensors monitor the voltage, current, and temperature of the battery cell 102 in real time. When these parameters exceed a safe range, the charging current is cut off to protect the battery cell 102. For example, if the voltage of the battery cell 102 rises to a preset full charge voltage threshold, the charging protection circuit will cut off the charging current to prevent overcharging.

[0066] In this embodiment, the voltage conversion circuit ensures the correct adaptation of the charging voltage, while the charging protection circuit ensures the safety of the charging process. The two work together to improve the reliability and safety of the electronic atomizer charging module, extend the service life of the battery cell 102, and enhance the user experience.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic atomizer further includes a heating module, which is connected to the power supply module 10 and is used to heat the aerosol matrix.

[0068] The heating module refers to the heating component used to generate aerosol in an electronic atomizer. It consists of one or more heating elements that convert electrical energy into thermal energy to heat the aerosol matrix. Specifically, the heating element (such as a resistance wire) in the heating module generates heat when an electric current is applied. When the aerosol matrix (such as tobacco extract or nicotine solution) contacts the heating element, it rapidly heats and evaporates, forming an aerosol.

[0069] In this embodiment, the heating module, as a main component of the electronic atomizer, is particularly important for heating the aerosol matrix to generate the aerosol matrix.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic atomizer further includes a heating protection circuit connected between the power supply module 10 and the heating module.

[0071] Among them, the heating protection circuit is used to monitor the working status of the heating module and take measures when a potential dangerous situation is detected to prevent the heating module from overheating or damage, thereby protecting the safety of the electronic atomizer.

[0072] For example, the heating protection circuit typically includes components such as a temperature sensor, a current detector, and a short-circuit detector. These sensors monitor the temperature, current, and circuit status of the heating module in real time. When these parameters exceed a safe range, the power supply module 10 cuts off the power to the heating module, thereby preventing dangerous situations such as overheating or short circuits.

[0073] In this embodiment, the working status of the heating module is monitored in real time by the heating protection circuit, and measures are taken quickly when abnormal conditions are found to prevent the heating module from overheating or damage, thereby protecting the safety of the electronic atomizer.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic atomizer further includes a body and at least one function button, which is disposed on the outer surface of the body and is connected to the controller 8 .

[0075] Among them, the function button refers to one or more physical buttons installed on the outside of the electronic atomizer body. Users can use these buttons to control the functions of the electronic atomizer, such as starting / stopping heating, adjusting power, switching modes, etc.

[0076] For example, the function buttons serve as an interface for users to interact with the electronic atomizer. By operating these buttons, users can start or stop the heating module, adjust the power setting of the electronic atomizer, select different usage modes (such as normal mode and temperature control mode), and set other related functions. When the user presses a function button, the controller 8 receives the corresponding input signal and executes the corresponding operation according to the preset logic and functional configuration.

[0077] In this embodiment, the function button is a key part of the user's interaction with the device in the electronic atomizer. It allows the user to directly control various functions of the electronic atomizer, thereby providing a flexible and convenient usage experience.
