[0029] Embodiment 1
[0030] An embodiment of the present application provides an anti-counterfeiting system. Please refer to Figure 1 , the anti-counterfeiting system 100 includes:
[0031] An anti-counterfeiting module 110 is disposed inside the atomizer, and atomizer information is stored in the anti-counterfeiting module 110; a power module 120, a sensor module 130, and a main control module 140 are disposed inside the battery rod. The power module 120 is electrically connected to the sensor module 130 and the main control module 140 respectively, and the sensor module 130 is also electrically connected to the main control module 140. The sensor module 130 is configured to send a start signal to the main control module 140 when the atomizer is plugged into the battery rod. The main control module 140 is configured to send an activation signal to the anti-counterfeiting module 110 when receiving the start signal. The anti-counterfeiting module 110 is configured to establish a connection with the main control module 140 when receiving the activation signal, convert the atomizer information into a response signal, and send the response signal to the main control module 140. The main control module 140 is further configured to parse the response signal to obtain the atomizer information when receiving the response signal, compare the atomizer information with preset information, and determine that the atomizer is a genuine product if the atomizer information is consistent with the preset information, or determine that the atomizer is a non-genuine product if they are inconsistent.
[0032] The electronic atomization device is mainly divided into two parts: an atomizer and a battery rod. Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which shows a schematic structural diagram of the battery rod. It should be noted that the atomizer is used to store e-liquid. When the e-liquid in the atomizer is exhausted, the user can detach the atomizer from the battery rod and replace it with a new one. Currently, the electronic atomization devices on the market do not have anti-counterfeiting identification technology. Once counterfeit and shoddy products appear, it will not only have an adverse impact on the brand effect of the electronic atomization device, but also cause harm to the health of users.
[0033] In this embodiment, the atomizer information includes but is not limited to the following information: unique identification data, inhalation times, and production date. The anti-counterfeiting module 110 includes an anti-counterfeiting chip, and the model of the anti-counterfeiting chip can be: NTAG203, NTAG213, or NTAG215. Specifically, it can be selected according to actual needs. Here, only examples are given and no limitations are made. The sensor module 130 includes a photosensitive element, such as a photosensitive sensor. When the atomizer is plugged into the battery rod, the photosensitive element detects a change in light and sends a start signal to the main control module 140. The start signal is used to control the main control module 140 to send an activation signal to the anti-counterfeiting module 110. The main control module 140 includes a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip, hereinafter referred to as the NFC chip. The NFC chip uses short-range wireless communication technology to perform fast data transmission and interaction with the anti-counterfeiting module 110.
[0034] In one embodiment, the main control module 140 includes: an NFC chip electrically connected to the sensor module 130; the NFC chip is configured to generate an activation signal according to a preset communication protocol when receiving the start signal.
[0035] In this embodiment, when the NFC chip receives the start signal, it indicates that an atomizer is plugged into the battery rod at this time. At this time, the NFC chip needs to send an activation signal to obtain atomizer information from the anti-counterfeiting chip of the atomizer, and determine whether the atomizer is genuine according to the atomizer information, for example, the unique data identifier.
[0036] It should be noted that the NFC technology is adopted between the NFC chip and the anti-counterfeiting chip. Among them, the NFC chip is an active device used to initiate the activation signal, and the anti-counterfeiting chip is a passive device used to establish a connection with the NFC chip when receiving the activation signal and send a response signal to the NFC chip. The operating frequency between the NFC chip and the anti-counterfeiting chip can be 13.56 MHz.
[0037] In one embodiment, the main control module 140 further includes: a first antenna electrically connected to the NFC chip; the first antenna is configured to obtain the activation signal from the NFC chip and send the activation signal to the anti-counterfeiting module 110.
[0038] It should be noted that the activation signal generated by the NFC chip is essentially a radio frequency signal, and the transmission of the radio frequency signal depends on the antenna. In this embodiment, since the length and shape of the antenna may affect the radiation efficiency and communication range of the signal, in practical applications, the selection of the antenna length and shape can be determined according to factors such as the shape and size of the battery rod of the electronic atomization device.
[0039] In one embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting module 110 includes: a second antenna that establishes a connection with the first antenna when receiving the activation signal; the second antenna is configured to send the activation signal to the anti-counterfeiting module.
[0040] In this embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting module includes an anti-counterfeiting chip. The second antenna is used to receive the activation signal and forward the activation signal to the anti-counterfeiting chip. The antenna length and shape of the second antenna can be determined according to factors such as the shape and size of the atomizer.
[0041] In one embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting module 110 further includes: an anti-counterfeiting chip electrically connected to the second antenna; the anti-counterfeiting chip is configured to, when obtaining the activation signal from the second antenna, convert the atomizer information into a response signal according to the preset communication protocol, and send the response signal to the second antenna; the second antenna is further configured to forward the response signal to the first antenna; the first antenna is further configured to forward the response signal to the NFC chip; the NFC chip is further configured to parse the response signal according to the preset communication protocol to obtain the atomizer information.
[0042] In this embodiment, the atomizer information includes but is not limited to the following information: unique identification data, number of inhalations, and production date. When receiving the activation signal, the atomizer information pre-stored in the anti-counterfeiting chip is converted into a corresponding response signal according to the preset communication protocol, and is forwarded to the NFC chip via the second antenna and the first antenna. Among them, the preset communication protocol stipulates the format and encryption method of the transmitted data.
[0043] It should be noted that the anti-counterfeiting chip is essentially an NFC electronic tag, and the response signal converted by the anti-counterfeiting chip is essentially a radio frequency signal in a preset format.
[0044] In one embodiment, the sensor module 130 includes: a photosensitive element electrically connected to the NFC chip, configured to determine that the atomizer is plugged into the battery rod when detecting a change in light.
[0045] In this embodiment, the photosensitive element can be a receiving photosensor, which determines whether the atomizer is plugged into the battery rod by detecting a change in light. For example, when the atomizer is plugged into the battery rod, the receiving photosensor detects a change in light, and at this time it is determined that the atomizer is plugged into the battery rod.
[0046] In one embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting system 100 further includes: a warning element, which is arranged on the battery rod and electrically connected to the main control module 140.
[0047] In this embodiment, to prompt the user whether the atomizer is genuine, a warning element is arranged on the battery rod to emit a prompt signal.
[0048] In one embodiment, the warning element is any one of a buzzer, a warning light, and a vibrator.
[0049] In this embodiment, for example, when the warning element is a warning light, if it is detected that the atomizer is not genuine, the warning light on the battery rod flashes; when the warning element is a buzzer, if it is detected that the atomizer is not genuine, the buzzer sounds; when the warning element is a vibrator, if it is detected that the atomizer is not genuine, the vibrator vibrates.
[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the anti-counterfeiting system 100 further includes: a mobile interaction module 150, wirelessly communicatively connected to the main control module 140; the mobile interaction module 150 is configured to obtain and display the atomizer information from the main control module 140; the main control module 140 is further configured to send a genuine product prompt message to the mobile interaction module 150 when the atomizer is a genuine product, and send a non-genuine product prompt message to the mobile interaction module 150 when the atomizer is a non-genuine product; the mobile interaction module 150 is further configured to display the genuine product prompt message or the non-genuine product prompt message.
[0051] In this embodiment, the mobile interaction module 150 can be a device such as a mobile phone or a tablet, which is used for the user to view the atomizer information at any time, or to prompt the user whether the atomizer is a genuine product. For example, when it is detected that the atomizer is a genuine product, the mobile interaction module 150 displays "Genuine Atomizer" and the corresponding atomizer information; when the atomizer information is detected, the mobile interaction module 150 displays "Abnormal Atomizer" and prompts the user to replace it.
[0052] For the anti-counterfeiting system provided by the embodiments of the present application, when the atomizer is plugged into the battery rod, the sensor module sends a start signal to the main control module; when receiving the start signal, the main control module sends an activation signal to the anti-counterfeiting module; when receiving the activation signal, the anti-counterfeiting module establishes a connection with the main control module, and after converting the atomizer information into a response signal, sends the response signal to the main control module; when receiving the response signal, the main control module parses the response signal to obtain the atomizer information; compares the atomizer information with the preset information. If the atomizer information is consistent with the preset information, it is determined that the atomizer is a genuine product, and if not, it is determined that the atomizer is a non-genuine product. The present application sets an anti-counterfeiting chip in the atomizer and uses NFC technology to obtain the atomizer information in the atomizer, thereby determining whether the atomizer is a genuine product, avoiding the adverse effects of non-genuine atomizers on the brand effect of the electronic atomization device, and improving the security of the electronic atomization device.
