[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of consumer electronics, and in particular to a method for controlling the working state of an atomization device, a control device for the working state of an atomization device, an atomization device, and a computer-readable storage medium. [Background technology]
[0002] The atomizing device can be used to replace traditional flame heating, and looks and tastes like a cigarette. To facilitate user operation and ensure the safe use of the equipment, the atomizing device needs to start heating after the aerosol-generating matrix is inserted into the receiving cavity, and stop heating after the aerosol-generating matrix is withdrawn. Therefore, how to accurately detect whether the aerosol-generating matrix is present in the receiving cavity has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] The present application provides a method for controlling the working state of an atomization device, a control device for the working state of an atomization device, an atomization device, and a computer-readable storage medium. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] A method for controlling an operating state of a nebulization device of the present application, in which a accommodating cavity for accommodating an aerosol-generating matrix is provided in the nebulization device, and the method for controlling the operating state of the nebulization device includes acquiring status information of the accommodating cavity, acquiring image information of the accommodating cavity, and controlling the operating state of the nebulization device based on the status information and the image information, in which the status information of the accommodating cavity includes a first state in which an aerosol-generating matrix is present in the accommodating cavity and a second state in which an aerosol-generating matrix is not present in the accommodating cavity.
[0005] In the present application, the detection of the state of the accommodating cavity by the atomizing device is a continuous process. The accommodating cavity has two different states, namely, a first state in which the aerosol-generating matrix exists and a second state in which the aerosol-generating matrix does not exist. By obtaining the state information of the accommodating cavity and the image information inside the accommodating cavity and combining the two, the state inside the accommodating cavity at the current time can be confirmed, and the operating state of the atomizing device can be controlled accordingly. The present application can more accurately determine the presence of the aerosol-generating matrix in the accommodating cavity, and thus accurately control the operating state of the atomizing device.
[0006] In some embodiments, controlling the operating state of the atomization device based on the status information and the image information includes controlling the atomization device to maintain an activated state when, after determining that the accommodating cavity is in the first state, it is confirmed that an object is present in the accommodating cavity based on the image information.
[0007] Thus, in the presence of an aerosol-generating matrix in the receiving cavity, the atomizing device is controlled to remain activated when the presence of an object in the receiving cavity is detected.
[0008] In some embodiments, controlling the operating state of the atomization device based on the status information and the image information includes controlling the atomization device to switch from an activated state to a closed state when, after determining that the accommodating cavity is in the first state, it is confirmed based on the image information that no object is present in the accommodating cavity.
[0009] In this way, when an aerosol-generating matrix is present in the receiving cavity, the atomizing device is controlled to switch from an active state to a closed state if no object is detected to be present in the receiving cavity.
[0010] In some embodiments, controlling the operating state of the atomization device based on the status information and the image information includes controlling the atomization device to maintain a closed state after determining that the accommodating cavity is in the second state and then confirming that no object is present in the accommodating cavity based on the image information.
[0011] Thus, in the absence of an aerosol-generating matrix in the receiving cavity, the atomizing device is controlled to remain closed when the absence of an object in the receiving cavity is detected.
[0012] In some embodiments, controlling the operating state of the atomization device based on the status information and the image information includes controlling the atomization device to remain in a closed state after determining that the storage cavity is in the second state and confirming the presence of an object in the storage cavity based on the image information but not identifying encoded image information on the object.
[0013] In this way, when there is no aerosol-generating matrix in the accommodating cavity, the presence of an object in the accommodating cavity is detected, but no encoded image information characterized in that the object is an aerosol-generating matrix is detected, and it can be confirmed that the object currently inserted is not an aerosol-generating matrix or that the aerosol-generating matrix in the accommodating cavity has not been completely inserted, and the nebulization device is controlled to maintain a closed state.
[0014] In some embodiments, controlling the operating state of the nebulization device based on the status information and the image information includes, after determining that the accommodating cavity is in the second state, confirming the presence of an object in the accommodating cavity based on the image information and identifying encoded image information on the object, confirming that the object is the aerosol generating matrix, and controlling the nebulization device to switch from a closed state to an activated state.
[0015] In this way, when there is no aerosol-generating matrix in the accommodating cavity, the presence of an object in the accommodating cavity can be detected and at the same time, encoded image information capable of characterizing the object as an aerosol-generating matrix can be detected, and it can be confirmed that the object currently inserted is an aerosol-generating matrix, and the nebulization device is controlled to switch from a closed state to an activated state.
[0016] A control device for the operating state of a nebulization device of the present application, wherein a storage cavity for storing an aerosol-generating matrix is provided in the nebulization device, and the control device includes a first acquisition module, a second acquisition module, and a control module, wherein the first acquisition module is used to acquire status information of the storage cavity, the second acquisition module is used to acquire image information of the storage cavity, and the control module is used to control the operating state of the nebulization device based on the status information and the image information, wherein the status information of the storage cavity includes a first state in which an aerosol-generating matrix is present in the storage cavity and a second state in which an aerosol-generating matrix is not present in the storage cavity.
[0017] The atomization device of the present application includes a processor and a memory, and a computer program is stored in the memory. The computer program is executed by the processor to realize the method.
[0018] In some embodiments, the atomization device further includes an optical identification module coupled to the processor, the optical identification module being adapted to collect image information of the receiving cavity.
[0019] A computer-readable storage medium of the present application stores a computer program, which, when executed by one or more processors, realizes the above-mentioned method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0022] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar elements, or elements having the same or similar functions, are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and are only intended to describe the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application.
[0023] Referring to FIG. 1 , the present application provides a method for controlling an operating state of a nebulizing device, the method including: 01:Get containment cavity status information; 02:Get image information of the containment cavity; 03: Control the operation state of the atomization device based on the status information and image information.
[0024] The present application further provides an atomization device, which includes a memory and a processor. The method for controlling the working state of the atomization device of the present application can be realized by the atomization device of the present application. Specifically, a computer program is stored in the memory, and the processor is used for obtaining the state information of the receiving cavity and the image information of the receiving cavity, and controlling the working state of the atomization device according to the state information and the image information.
[0025] Referring to FIG. 2, the present application further provides an apparatus 100 for controlling the working state of an atomization device. The method for controlling the working state of an atomization device in the present application can be realized by the apparatus 100 for controlling the working state of an atomization device in the present application. Specifically, the apparatus 100 for controlling the working state of an atomization device includes a first acquisition module 101, a second acquisition module 102 and a control module 103. Here, the first acquisition module 101 is used for acquiring the status information of the receiving cavity; the second acquisition module 102 is used for acquiring the image information of the receiving cavity; and the control module 103 is used for controlling the working state of the atomization device according to the status information and the image information.
[0026] In the present application, the detection of the aerosol-generating matrix or its analogous object by the nebulizer is a continuous process, and the continuous detection is performed at short time intervals during the operation of the nebulizer. The accommodating cavity includes two different states, namely, a first state in which the aerosol-generating matrix is present and a second state in which the aerosol-generating matrix is not present. By obtaining the state information of the accommodating cavity and the image information of the inside of the accommodating cavity and combining the two, the state inside the accommodating cavity at the current time can be confirmed, and the operating state of the nebulizer can be controlled accordingly. The present application can more accurately determine the presence of the aerosol-generating matrix in the accommodating cavity, and thus accurately control the operating state of the nebulizer.
[0027] Specifically, the state information of the accommodating cavity includes a first state in which an aerosol-generating matrix is present in the accommodating cavity, and a second state in which an aerosol-generating matrix is not present in the accommodating cavity.
[0028] The image information of the receiving cavity includes information such as the presence of an object in the receiving cavity, e.g., whether an object is present, and an encoded image on the object.
[0029] The atomizing device further includes a body and a heating device, the body having a receiving cavity formed therein, the receiving cavity being adapted to accommodate the aerosol-generating matrix, and the heating device being adapted to heat the aerosol-generating matrix to generate an aerosol.
[0030] The atomizing device further includes an optical identification module, which can include an image acquisition device and an image processing device, or the optical identification module only includes an image acquisition device and processes the acquired image by a processor, and is not limited thereto. Here, the image acquisition device can include a camera and an infrared supplementary lamp.
[0031] The optical identification module can be installed in the side wall of the body and facing the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is entirely or at least partially made of a light-transmitting material, so that the optical identification module can collect image information in the receiving cavity. To accurately identify the state of the aerosol generating matrix, a coded image can be placed at a corresponding position on the aerosol generating matrix, and based on the coded image, it can be recognized whether the object inserted into the receiving cavity is an aerosol generating matrix or another item. When the aerosol generating matrix is substantially completely inserted into the receiving cavity, the optical identification module can collect the coded image on the aerosol generating matrix, or the collected state image includes at least the coded image. In some examples, the optical recognition module can be placed in a position close to the opening of the receiving cavity.
[0032] The image of the accommodating cavity at any time can be acquired by the optical identification module, and the status information of the accommodating cavity at the corresponding time can be confirmed based on the image information. Specifically, the status information of the accommodating cavity at the current time is determined by combining the past status information and the current image information, so as to avoid misjudging the current status information of the accommodating cavity based only on the image information. The atomizing device stores the status information determined each time, and can thereby determine the next status information. That is, the status information is the primary status information closest to the current time recorded in the atomizing device. The image information is the image of the accommodating cavity acquired at the current time. The status information of the accommodating cavity at the current time can be confirmed based on the status information and the image of the accommodating cavity at the current time. The status information of the accommodating cavity at the current time is then stored and used to confirm the status of the next accommodating cavity.
[0033] The confirmation of the state of the receiving cavity can provide support for the heating control of the atomizing device, which can save energy efficiency and reduce safety risks to a certain extent, and improve the use experience of the atomizing device.
[0034] Referring to Figures 3, 4 and 5, in some embodiments, step 03 includes: 031: After determining that the receiving cavity is in a first state, if it is determined that an object exists in the receiving cavity based on the image information, the atomization device is controlled to maintain an activated state.
[0035] In some embodiments, the processor is used to control the atomization device to remain in an activated state after determining that the storage cavity is in a first state and then determining that an object is present in the storage cavity based on the image information.
[0036] In some embodiments, the control module 103 is used to control the atomization device to maintain an activated state after determining that the accommodating cavity is in a first state and then confirming that an object is present in the accommodating cavity based on the image information.
[0037] In this manner, if an aerosol-generating matrix is present within the receiving cavity, the atomizing device is controlled to remain activated when the presence of an object within the receiving cavity is detected.
[0038] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 4, after it is determined that the accommodating cavity is in the first state, it is confirmed that the aerosol generating matrix exists in the accommodating cavity at the previous time, and based on the image information of the inside of the accommodating cavity acquired at this time, it is confirmed that an object exists in the accommodating cavity, and because the detection interval is short, it is usually not possible to take out the aerosol generating matrix within the interval time to change the state in the accommodating cavity, so that it is considered that the accommodating cavity at the current time is still in the first state, that is, the state in which the aerosol generating matrix exists.
[0039] That is, in this case, there is no need to determine whether the object in the containing cavity is an aerosol-generating matrix or whether the object is an aerosol-generating matrix based on whether the image information contains clear encoded image information. As can be seen, if the containing cavity was in the first state at the previous time, the atomizing device is in an activated state. Upon determining that the containing cavity is still in the first state at the current time, the atomizing device is controlled to remain in an activated state to continue heating the aerosol-generating matrix.
[0040] As can be understood, the aerosol-generating matrix may generate obstacles such as water vapor or aerosols after being heated in the accommodating cavity, which may further damage or block the encoded image, and thus make it impossible to collect an image containing clear encoded image information. As shown in FIG. 5, at this time, the accommodating cavity is still in the first state in which the aerosol-generating matrix exists, but the image information of the accommodating cavity containing clearer encoded image information may not be obtained. In this case, determining that the aerosol-generating matrix is not in the accommodating cavity based only on the image information of the accommodating cavity at the current time may cause the accommodating cavity to malfunction and stop heating the aerosol-generating matrix.
[0041] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, in some embodiments, step 03 includes: 032: After determining that the receiving cavity is in the first state, if it is confirmed based on the image information that no object is present in the receiving cavity, the atomization device is controlled to switch from the activated state to the closed state.
[0042] In some embodiments, the processor is used to control the atomization device to switch from an activated state to a closed state after determining that the storage cavity is in a first state and then confirming that no object is present in the storage cavity based on the image information.
[0043] In some embodiments, the control module 103 is used to control the atomization device to switch from an activated state to a closed state after determining that the storage cavity is in a first state and then confirming that no object is present in the storage cavity based on the image information.
[0044] In this way, when an aerosol-generating matrix is present in the containing cavity, the atomizing device is controlled to switch from an active state to a closed state if no object is detected to be present in the containing cavity.
[0045] Specifically, after it is determined that the receiving cavity is in the first state, that is, it is confirmed that the aerosol-generating matrix exists in the receiving cavity at a previous time, and based on the image information of the receiving cavity obtained at this time, if it is not detected that an object exists in the receiving cavity, it can be considered that the aerosol-generating matrix has been taken out at the current time. Since the aerosol-generating matrix exists in the receiving cavity at a previous time, the atomizing device is in an activated state, and at this time, the atomizing device is controlled to switch from the activated state to a closed state and stop heating.
[0046] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, in some embodiments, step 03 includes: 033: After determining that the receiving cavity is in the second state, if it is confirmed based on the image information that no object is present in the receiving cavity, the atomization device is controlled to maintain the closed state.
[0047] In some embodiments, the processor is used to control the atomization device to remain in a closed state after determining that the storage cavity is in a second state and then determining that no object is present in the storage cavity based on the image information.
[0048] In some embodiments, the control module 103 is used to control the atomization device to maintain a closed state after determining that the storage cavity is in the second state and then determining that no object is present in the storage cavity based on the image information.
[0049] Thus, in the absence of an aerosol-generating matrix in the receiving cavity, the atomizing device is controlled to remain closed when the absence of an object in the receiving cavity is detected.
[0050] Specifically, after determining that the receiving cavity is in the second state, i.e., that no aerosol-generating matrix exists in the receiving cavity at a previous time, it is confirmed that no object exists in the receiving cavity based on the image information of the receiving cavity obtained at this time. Since no aerosol-generating matrix exists in the receiving cavity at the previous confirmation time, the atomizing device is in a closed state, and the atomizing device can be controlled to maintain the closed state at this time.
[0051] Referring to Figures 3, 7 and 8, in some embodiments, step 03 includes: 034: After determining that the receiving cavity is in the second state, it is confirmed that an object is present in the receiving cavity based on the image information, but the encoded image information on the object cannot be identified, and the atomization device is controlled to maintain the closed state.
[0052] In some embodiments, after the processor determines that the storage cavity is in the second state, it determines that an object is present in the storage cavity based on the image information, but is unable to identify any encoded image information on the object, and the atomization device is controlled to remain in a closed state.
[0053] In some embodiments, after the control module 103 determines that the receiving cavity is in the second state, it confirms that an object is present in the receiving cavity based on the image information, but is unable to identify the encoded image information on the object, and controls the atomization device to remain in the closed state.
[0054] In this way, if there is no aerosol-generating matrix in the accommodating cavity, the presence of an object in the accommodating cavity is detected, but encoded image information characterized in that the object is an aerosol-generating matrix is not detected, and it can be confirmed that the object currently inserted is not an aerosol-generating matrix or that the aerosol-generating matrix has not been completely inserted into the accommodating cavity, and the nebulization device is controlled to remain in a closed state.
[0055] Specifically, after determining that the accommodating cavity is in the second state, that is, after confirming that there is no aerosol-generating matrix in the accommodating cavity at a previous time, and based on the image information in the accommodating cavity acquired at this time, it is detected that an object exists in the accommodating cavity, but the encoded image information on the object cannot be further identified, in this case, there are two possibilities. First, the object existing in the accommodating cavity is an aerosol-generating matrix, but the aerosol-generating matrix is not fully inserted at this time, as shown in FIG. 7. Based on the installation position of the encoded image information on the aerosol-generating matrix, the entire aerosol-generating matrix needs to be substantially fully inserted into the accommodating cavity to obtain the image information containing the encoded image information. Second, as shown in FIG. 8, the inserted object is not an aerosol-generating matrix. Even if the object without the encoded image information is fully inserted into the accommodating cavity, the encoded image information cannot be obtained from the image information of the accommodating cavity, in this case, it can be confirmed that the object inserted into the accommodating cavity at that time is not an aerosol-generating matrix but another object. In these two cases, the nebulizer was in a closed state at the previous time to ensure that no aerosol-generating matrix was present in the containing cavity, and at this time the nebulizer is controlled to remain in the closed state.
[0056] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in some embodiments, step 03 includes: 035: After determining that the accommodating cavity is in a second state, it is confirmed that an object exists in the accommodating cavity based on the image information, and the encoded image information on the object can be identified, it is confirmed that the object is an aerosol generating matrix, and the nebulizer is controlled to switch from a closed state to an activated state.
[0057] In some embodiments, after determining that the storage cavity is in the second state, the processor can confirm the presence of an object in the storage cavity based on the image information and identify encoded image information on the object, which is used to confirm that the object is an aerosol generating matrix and control the nebulization device to switch from a closed state to an activated state.
[0058] In some embodiments, after determining that the storage cavity is in the second state, the control module 103 can confirm that an object is present in the storage cavity based on the image information and identify the encoded image information on the object, confirm that the object is an aerosol generating matrix, and control the nebulization device to switch from a closed state to an activated state.
[0059] In this way, when there is no aerosol-generating matrix in the accommodating cavity, the presence of an object in the accommodating cavity can be detected and at the same time, encoded image information capable of characterizing the object as an aerosol-generating matrix can be detected, it can be confirmed that the object currently inserted is an aerosol-generating matrix, and the nebulizer device switches from a closed state to an activated state.
[0060] Specifically, after determining that the receiving cavity is in the second state, i.e., it is confirmed that there is no aerosol-generating matrix in the receiving cavity at the previous time, and based on the image information of the receiving cavity obtained at this time, it is confirmed that there is an object in the receiving cavity, and the coded image information on the object can be identified, and it is confirmed that the object in the receiving cavity is an aerosol-generating substrate. At the previous confirmation time, there is no aerosol-generating matrix in the receiving cavity, and the atomizing device is in a closed state, so at this time, the atomizing device is controlled to switch from the closed state to the activated state.
[0061] As can be understood, similar to checking the state information of the receiving cavity at the current time, the state information of the receiving cavity at the next time can be checked based on the state information of the receiving cavity at the current time and the image information of the receiving cavity at the next time, the specific manner can be referred to the description of the above embodiment, and the detailed description will be omitted here.Furthermore, the operating state of the atomization device is controlled based on the state of the receiving cavity.
[0062] The present application also provides a computer readable storage medium storing a computer program, the computer program being executed by one or more processors to implement the above method.
[0063] As described above, in the process of controlling the working state of the atomizing device, in the present application, according to the current state information of the receiving cavity, whether there is an object in the receiving cavity and whether the existing object is an aerosol-generating matrix are processed in different ways. Specifically, when there is no aerosol-generating matrix in the receiving cavity, that is, when the atomizing device is in a closed state, the optical imaging is used to detect the existence of an object in the receiving cavity, and based on the coded image information in the image information of the receiving cavity, the inserted object is confirmed to be an aerosol-generating matrix and heating is started, so that the safety risk caused by heating when a non-aerosol-generating matrix is inserted can be effectively prevented. When there is an aerosol-generating matrix in the receiving cavity, that is, when the atomizing device is in an activated state, the optical imaging detection is also used to confirm, but unlike when there is no aerosol-generating matrix in the receiving cavity and the atomizing device is in a closed state, when there is an aerosol-generating matrix in the receiving cavity and the atomizing device is in an activated state, there is no need to detect the coded image information therein, and it is necessary to confirm whether an image containing an object is obtained. During the heating process of the aerosol-generating matrix, it is ensured that the heating is terminated early without being mistakenly determined as being drawn out, and the heating is stopped in a timely manner when the aerosol-generating matrix is drawn out, so that the aerosol-generating matrix is heated sufficiently in a timely manner, and at the same time, the safety risk caused by the atomizing device heating the empty receiving cavity after the aerosol-generating matrix is drawn out is prevented, and the user experience is improved.
