Description

An intelligent application system based on electronic cigarette and its control method Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic cigarettes, and in particular to an electronic cigarette-based intelligent application system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] E-cigarettes can be categorized by their principle into atomizing e-cigarettes (also known as steam e-cigarettes) and heat-not-burn e-cigarettes. They have become the tobacco product of choice for many smokers, effectively satisfying their smoking needs. Atomizing e-cigarettes heat and vaporize liquid (also known as e-liquid) or paste, producing an aerosol or smoke for the user to inhale; heat-not-burn e-cigarettes heat shredded tobacco or tobacco to a certain temperature, producing smoke for the user to inhale. Compared to traditional tobacco, e-cigarettes lack open flames, reducing or eliminating the production of tar and many harmful particulates. Consequently, e-cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular.

[0003] Traditional electronic cigarettes are generally composed of an atomizing component, a heating component, a battery, a main board, a material (liquid, tobacco or other tobacco products) container, a mouthpiece, a charging port, a battery indicator, a material indicator, a shell, an air power switch, etc. The air power switch or a device with similar functions can detect the user's smoking action and smoking duration to count data such as the duration, frequency, and number of each smoking.

[0004] As a portable item for vapers, e-cigarettes currently only fulfill the function of satisfying people's smoking needs, with other functions rarely seen. Although some patents have added wireless communication modules and microcontroller modules to e-cigarettes, enabling them to communicate with smart terminal devices (such as mobile phones and computers), these functions are limited to collecting information related to smoking, such as the number of puffs and the duration of smoking.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the intelligence level of electronic cigarettes is an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0117] It should be noted that to achieve the binding between the smart e-cigarette and the e-cigarette application APP, you first need to install the e-cigarette application APP on the smart terminal and register a user ID on the APP. The process is as follows:

[0118] 1. APP download and installation

[0119] Users can use a browser on a smart terminal to open a specified web address (the address can be a QR code posted on the e-cigarette or a plain text address printed on the e-cigarette, or a QR code displayed on the e-cigarette screen), or search for the APP in an app store (such as Google Play, Apple App Store, Microsoft App Store, Xiaomi App Store, etc.), or search for the official website of the APP operator, and then download the APP and install it.

[0120] 2. User registration and login

[0121] When a user opens the APP for the first time, the APP will remind the user to register.

[0122] When registering as a user, you can use a variety of methods, including but not limited to: mobile phone number + SMS verification code + password, email + verification code + password, username + password, and indirect third-party registration (such as registering by scanning a WeChat QR code). Sometimes, these methods can be combined. For example, when registering with a username + password, you can require the user to enter their mobile phone number and SMS verification code to further confirm their identity. The app also provides a registration function based on facial recognition.

[0123] When logging in, users can use a variety of methods, including but not limited to: mobile phone number + SMS, mobile phone number + password, email + password, username + password, facial recognition, and third-party indirect login. Sometimes, these methods can be used in combination. For example, if an abnormality in the login environment is detected, the user's mobile phone number will also be verified when logging in with username + password to enhance security.

[0124] 3. User changes and resets password

[0125] When changing a password, the user must enter the old password for verification. If an abnormality is detected in the environment, the user must enter their mobile phone number and SMS verification code for verification. Alternatively, they can enter their email address and email verification code for verification. Alternatively, they can use facial recognition for verification with user consent. Password changes can only be made after successful verification.

[0126] When a user forgets their password, they need to reset it by entering their mobile phone number and SMS verification code for verification, or by entering their email address and email verification code for verification. They can also use facial recognition for verification after obtaining the user's consent. After successful verification, the password can be reset.

[0127] In one embodiment, in step S1, establishing a binding relationship between the smart electronic cigarette and the electronic cigarette application APP based on the unique identification code of the electronic cigarette smart module in accordance with a preset binding method includes:

Obtain the unique identification code of the electronic cigarette smart module through the electronic cigarette application APP, where the unique identification code is composed of the globally unique identification code GUID and the product production information of the electronic cigarette smart module (such as manufacturer identification, serial number of the electronic cigarette smart module, etc.) in a preset combination; specifically, according to different confidentiality requirements, this unique identification code can be encrypted (using encryption algorithms such as AES and RSA), and only the electronic cigarette application APP or authorized party can decrypt it.

[0129] A2, determine the legitimacy of the unique identification code of the electronic cigarette smart module through the electronic cigarette application APP; specifically, in this step, illegal manifestations include: incorrect format, error in check code (parity check, CRC check, etc.), etc. If it is illegal, a window will pop up to remind the user.

[0130] A3, when the electronic cigarette application APP determines that the unique identification code of the electronic cigarette intelligent module is legal, the electronic cigarette application APP encrypts the current user ID and the unique identification code of the electronic cigarette application APP using a preset encryption and decryption algorithm to obtain an encrypted data packet, and sends the encrypted data packet to the server;

[0131] A4, decrypting the encrypted data packet using a preset encryption and decryption algorithm through the server to obtain the current user ID and unique identification code of the electronic cigarette application APP;

[0132] The server further determines the legitimacy of the unique identification code of the electronic cigarette smart module. Specifically, in this step, illegality may be manifested by errors in the manufacturer-related information in the unique identification code. If illegality occurs, a window will pop up to remind the user and the process will be terminated.

[0133] A5. When the server determines that the unique identification code of the electronic cigarette smart module is legal, it obtains the historical binding information of the unique identification code through the server. Specifically, the server can obtain the historical binding information of the unique identification code by querying its own database to see whether the unique identification code has been bound before. Based on the current user ID of the electronic cigarette application app, the unique identification code, and the historical binding information of the unique identification code, the server establishes a binding relationship between the current user ID of the electronic cigarette application app and the unique identification code according to a preset binding process.

[0134] Specifically, there are several possibilities for the historical binding information of the unique identification code: ① not yet bound; ② already bound by the current user; ③ already bound by other users; ④ bound by the current user but unbound; ⑤ bound by other users but unbound.

[0135] For ②, the app prompts the user that the e-cigarette smart module has already been bound, eliminating the need for multiple bindings, and the process ends. For ③, the app prompts the user that the e-cigarette smart module has already been bound by someone else, and the process ends. For ④, the app prompts the user that the re-binding is successful, and the process ends. For ⑤, the app prompts the user that the binding is successful, but the e-cigarette smart module has already been bound by another user, and the process ends. For ①, the process proceeds to the next step. If the manufacturer information is correct, then, depending on the relevant configuration (for example, whether to check with the manufacturer), the server may further request access to the designated manufacturer's database to confirm whether the unique identification code is issued by the manufacturer. If the query results indicate that the unique identification code is issued by the manufacturer and the manufacturer has not issued a specific notification (for example, if the manufacturer discovers that the batch of the e-cigarette smart module has a major fault and needs to recall or recommend deactivation), the unique identification code of the current e-cigarette smart module is bound to the current user in the database, and the process ends. Otherwise, a window pops up to remind the user, and the process is terminated. This step can effectively prevent counterfeit goods, protect the interests of manufacturers and users, and help manufacturers promptly address problematic product batches.

[0136] In one embodiment, the unique identification code of the electronic cigarette intelligent module can be obtained through the electronic cigarette application APP in one of the following two ways:

[0137] Method 1:

[0138] Scan the QR code or barcode on the smart electronic cigarette shell or displayed on the screen after the smart electronic cigarette's electronic cigarette smart module is turned on through the electronic cigarette application APP, or input the digital string on the smart electronic cigarette shell or the digital string displayed on the screen after the smart electronic cigarette's electronic cigarette smart module is turned on into the electronic cigarette application APP to obtain the unique identification code of the electronic cigarette smart module.

[0139] Method 2:

[0140] B1, after the electronic cigarette intelligent module is powered on, the electronic cigarette intelligent module automatically sends a Bluetooth connection identification signal, wherein the Bluetooth connection identification signal carries the Bluetooth connection identifier of the electronic cigarette intelligent module;

[0141] B2, the user turns on the Bluetooth connection switch on the smart terminal installed with the e-cigarette application app;

[0142] B3, the user searches for the Bluetooth connection identifier of the electronic cigarette smart module on the smart terminal installed with the electronic cigarette application APP, and initiates connection and pairing;

[0143] B4. After the electronic cigarette application APP is paired with the electronic cigarette intelligent module via Bluetooth, the electronic cigarette intelligent module sends the unique identification code stored internally to the electronic cigarette application APP.

[0144] In one embodiment, in step S2, locking the smart electronic cigarette includes:

[0145] C1. The user enters the lock protection function page on the electronic cigarette application app and clicks the lock protection button to activate the electronic cigarette lock protection function. When the electronic cigarette lock protection function is turned on, the atomizer of the smart electronic cigarette is in a locked state. Specifically, the user can use one of the following locking methods to lock the smart electronic cigarette:

[0146] 1. If the electronic cigarette smart module is equipped with a touch screen, a digital password or pattern password can be set on the APP or on the touch screen of the electronic cigarette smart module. Once the password is set, the user must enter the correct password on the touch screen of the electronic cigarette smart module before smoking the electronic cigarette;

[0147] 2. If the electronic cigarette smart module is equipped with an image acquisition module (i.e., a camera), you can set up facial recognition protection on the app or on the electronic cigarette smart module, then start the camera on the electronic cigarette smart module, record the face to collect facial features and save them. The next time the user smokes the electronic cigarette, they must collect facial data on the camera of the electronic cigarette smart module. Only after a successful match can they smoke;

[0148] 3. If the electronic cigarette smart module is equipped with a fingerprint collection module, you can set up fingerprint protection on the APP or on the electronic cigarette smart module, then start the fingerprint collection module on the electronic cigarette smart module, enter the fingerprint to collect fingerprint features and save them. The next time the user smokes the electronic cigarette, they must collect fingerprint data on the fingerprint collection module of the electronic cigarette smart module. Only after a successful match can they smoke;

[0149] 4. If the electronic cigarette intelligent module is not equipped with a touch screen, image acquisition module and fingerprint acquisition module, a prohibition switch can be set on the APP. Once the switch is activated, the electronic cigarette cannot be smoked unless the user turns off the switch on the APP.

[0150] C2, the electronic cigarette application APP monitors whether it receives an unlock request; specifically, the unlock request can be initiated on the APP or on the electronic cigarette smart module. For example, when the lock protection method adopted by the user is face recognition protection, the user can send an unlock request by collecting a face image on the APP or the electronic cigarette smart module.

[0151] C3, when the electronic cigarette application APP receives an unlock request, it determines whether the unlock information carried in the unlock request meets the preset conditions; specifically, the unlock information carried in the unlock request can be a fingerprint input through the fingerprint acquisition module, a face image input through the image acquisition module, or an unlock pattern input through the APP, etc. The APP compares the unlock information with the preset lock information. If the unlock information and the lock information match (for example, the lock information is a user's face image, and the unlock information is a face image input by the same user), it indicates that the unlock information meets the preset conditions.

[0152] C4, when the unlocking information carried by the unlocking request meets the preset conditions, the electronic cigarette application APP sends an unlocking instruction to the electronic cigarette intelligent module;

[0153] C5, the electronic cigarette intelligent module generates an electronic cigarette start trigger signal according to the unlocking instruction to control the atomizer of the intelligent electronic cigarette to unlock and enter the normal working mode.

[0154] Locking protection can effectively prevent children or others from smoking your e-cigarette.

[0155] In one embodiment, in step S2, the intelligent interaction with the smart electronic cigarette includes initiating an interactive process of intelligent question and answer on the electronic cigarette application APP and initiating an interactive process of intelligent question and answer on the smart electronic cigarette.

[0156] Specifically, the interactive process of initiating intelligent question and answer on the e-cigarette application APP is as follows:

[0157] D1, the user enters the smart question and answer interaction page on the e-cigarette application app and clicks the smart question and answer button to start the smart question and answer interaction process;

[0158] D2. The user enters the question content on the e-cigarette application app. Specifically, the user can enter the question content in one of the following ways:

[0159] ① Input pure text on the APP keyboard; ② Import pictures, voice files, or video files into the APP as question input; ③ Press the record button on the APP to record the user's questions as input; ④ Press the video button on the APP to record the surrounding video as input; ⑤ A combination of these methods, such as importing pictures and then sending some text as question description.

[0160] D3, the e-cigarette application APP pre-processes the input question content to form a question data packet, and sends the question data packet to the server; specifically, the pre-processing can be to compress and encrypt the data of the question content. There are two ways to send the question data packet: ① If the user uses the API interface of the APP operator, then the APP will send the data packet to the server of the APP operator, and the server will forward the data packet to the artificial intelligence service infrastructure provider; ② If the user uses the API interface that the user obtains from the artificial intelligence service infrastructure provider, then the APP will send the data packet to the artificial intelligence service infrastructure provider. However, in order to make statistics on the operation records (such as statistics on the user's consumption of fees for regular reconciliation), for method ②, the APP will send the summary data of this question and answer (such as topic, time, etc.) to the APP operator's server.

[0161] D4, the server calls the corresponding artificial intelligence model to analyze and process the question data packet to obtain a response data packet, and sends the response data packet to the e-cigarette application APP; it should be noted that the use of artificial intelligence models to analyze and process question data packets belongs to the existing technology and will not be repeated here. There are two ways to send the response data packet: ① If the user uses the API interface of the APP operator, the artificial intelligence service infrastructure provider will send the answer data packet to the server of the APP operator, and the server will forward the data packet to the APP; ② If the user uses the API interface that the user obtains from the artificial intelligence service infrastructure provider, the artificial intelligence service infrastructure provider will directly send the answer data packet to the APP. However, in order to make statistics on the operation records (such as statistics on the user's consumption of tariffs for regular reconciliation), for method ②, the APP will send the summary data of this question and answer (such as topic, time, etc.) to the APP operator's server.

[0162] D5, the e-cigarette application APP parses the response data packet to obtain the answer to the question and displays the answer on the intelligent question and answer interactive page.

[0163] Specifically, the interactive process of initiating intelligent question and answer on the smart e-cigarette is as follows:

[0164] E1, establish a wireless communication connection between the e-cigarette application app and the e-cigarette smart module of the smart e-cigarette; specifically, the e-cigarette application app and the e-cigarette smart module of the smart e-cigarette can be connected via wireless communication methods such as Bluetooth and WiFi. After the connection, the e-cigarette smart module is placed near the smart terminal. This distance can be relatively large, as long as it is within the effective range of wireless communication (for example, Bluetooth generally supports communication within 10 meters). This brings great convenience to users. For example, if a mobile phone is charging in one room and a user is sitting in another room with an e-cigarette, the user can still initiate smart questions and answers.

[0165] E2, the user clicks the smart question and answer button on the touch screen of the smart electronic cigarette or presses the smart question and answer physical button on the smart electronic cigarette to start the smart question and answer process;

[0166] E3, the user inputs the question content through the human-computer interaction module of the smart electronic cigarette; specifically, the user can input the question content through one of the following input methods: ① The user asks questions to the sound collection device of the electronic cigarette smart module, the sound collection device collects the sound signal and reduces the noise, and then transmits the processed sound signal to the APP; ② The user inputs text on the touch screen of the electronic cigarette smart module and then sends it to the APP; ③ The user turns on the camera on the electronic cigarette smart module to capture images or videos, and then sends them to the APP; ④ The user can also use a combination of these methods, for example, using the camera to capture images and transmit them to the APP, and then sending a voice or text to supplement the explanation.

[0167] E4, the electronic cigarette intelligent module of the smart electronic cigarette sends the input question content to the electronic cigarette application APP;

[0168] E5, the electronic cigarette application APP pre-processes the problem content to form a problem data packet, and sends the problem data packet to the server;

[0169] E6, the server calls the corresponding artificial intelligence model to analyze and process the problem data packet to obtain a response data packet, and sends the response data packet to the electronic cigarette application APP;

[0170] E7. The e-cigarette application APP parses the response data packet to obtain the answer to the question and sends the answer to the e-cigarette intelligent module, which then displays the answer to the question. Specifically, the answer to the question can be displayed in one of the following ways: ① If the answer content is text, it is displayed on the screen; ② If the answer content is voice, it is played through the speaker; ③ If the answer content is an image or video, it is played on the screen; ④ If the answer content is both text and voice, image or video, a combination of ①, ②, and ③ is used.

[0171] In one embodiment, in step S2, managing the social functions of the smart electronic cigarette includes:

[0172] Users publish shared smoking location information through the e-cigarette application app, where the shared smoking location information includes one or any combination of the following information:

[0173] Smoking location information, opening hours, surrounding description information, smoking location photos, and smoking location videos.

[0174] In some cities, smoking is not allowed in enclosed public spaces, so finding a viable smoking spot is a common need for smokers. Through this application, users can share a viable smoking spot on the app after finding it. Nearby smokers can see the shared smoking spots and distance information on the app, which helps nearby smokers find a smoking spot more quickly and conveniently.

[0175] Specifically, when managing the target application function of the smart electronic cigarette through the electronic cigarette application APP, the method for viewing the usage status information of the smart electronic cigarette is as follows:

[0176] Users can view various usage status information of the electronic cigarette device on the APP. If the electronic cigarette smart module is equipped with a display screen, the usage status information can also be viewed on the screen.

[0177] Specifically, when managing the target application functions of the smart electronic cigarette through the electronic cigarette application APP, the method for setting the application function attributes of the smart electronic cigarette according to the needs is as follows:

[0178] 1. The e-cigarette smart module can upload a wide range of usage status information. This upload does not require active user triggering. Instead, the module's internal program automatically and periodically uploads this information to the app for statistical purposes. This usage status information includes: remaining battery life, remaining battery level, GPS location tracking, number of puffs, time of puffs, duration of puffs, pedometer data, internal temperature, and other data. Some data, such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels, require user-initiated upload. When the user places a body part (usually the fingertip, the area used for fingerprint detection, but also the wrist or other body parts) against the smart e-cigarette's heart rate and blood oxygen sensor, the sensor receives the data and sends it to the app. The user can configure which data is not uploaded to the app and the upload frequency. This status information is uploaded to the server by default, but users can configure which data is not uploaded to protect their privacy.

[0179] 2. Users can set various properties and functions of the e-cigarette on the APP, such as the dosage per inhalation, preheating temperature, alarm, stopwatch, countdown, screen off time, etc. If the e-cigarette smart module is equipped with a touch screen, settings can also be made on the e-cigarette smart module. However, due to the limited performance of the e-cigarette smart module, some settings cannot be made on the e-cigarette smart module and can only be made on the APP. Users can also use voice to give commands to the e-cigarette smart module, such as "Rice, rice, call me in 5 minutes" (the "rice, rice" here is just an example wake-up word; in actual application, the APP operator can customize other wake-up words). The e-cigarette smart module transmits the command to the APP, which recognizes it itself or transfers it to the server for recognition. After successful recognition, the APP replies through the e-cigarette smart module "OK, I'll call you in 5 minutes", and then the APP sets an alarm to sound in 5 minutes.

[0180] Specifically, when managing the target application function of the smart electronic cigarette through the electronic cigarette application APP, the method for locating and tracking the smart electronic cigarette is as follows:

[0181] If the user forgets where the e-cigarette smart module is placed, the user can activate the positioning and tracking function on the APP.

[0182] If the electronic cigarette smart module is not far from the user, the user can play a song on the APP, and the electronic cigarette smart module will emit a corresponding sound and motor vibration, and the user can find it by following the sound and vibration. If the electronic cigarette smart module is installed with a mobile communication device (such as a SIM card in a mobile phone), the user can dial the phone number of the mobile communication device on the mobile phone, and the sound of the electronic cigarette smart module will sound, and the user can find it by following the sound or motor vibration; in this case, the Bluetooth connection between the APP and the electronic cigarette smart module can be disconnected. However, if the electronic cigarette smart module is turned off or set to silent and no vibration, then the electronic cigarette smart module cannot be found using the method here.

[0183] If the electronic cigarette intelligent module is not near the user, the user can check the electronic cigarette intelligent module’s recent positioning track on the APP, and then with the help of the brain’s memory, the user may be able to find the electronic cigarette intelligent module.

[0184] If the e-cigarette smart module has been picked up by someone else and someone has tried to bind it to someone else's APP (of course, if the user has bound and not unbound the e-cigarette smart module, then the binding will fail), then the user can view the binding attempt history of others on the e-cigarette smart module on the APP, and then submit a retrieval application to the system, and the backend staff can assist.

[0185] If the user forgets where he put his mobile phone and the mobile phone is not turned off and the mobile phone is not far from the electronic cigarette smart module, and the Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the electronic cigarette smart module is not disconnected, the user can initiate the operation of finding the mobile phone on the electronic cigarette smart module, and the mobile phone will ring or vibrate, and the user can find the mobile phone by following the sound or vibration. If the electronic cigarette smart module is installed with a mobile communication device (such as a SIM card of a mobile phone), the user can call the mobile phone through the phone number of the mobile communication device, and the sound of the mobile phone will sound, and the user can find it by following the sound or the vibration of the motor of the mobile phone; in this case, the Bluetooth connection between the APP and the electronic cigarette smart module can be disconnected. However, if the mobile phone is turned off or set to silent and no vibration, then this method is invalid.

[0186] Specifically, when managing the target application functions of smart e-cigarettes through the e-cigarette application APP, you need to register for the artificial intelligence service before interacting with the smart e-cigarette. There are two ways to register:

[0187] The first AI service registration process is as follows:

[0188] 1. The app operator (i.e., the company that runs the app) applies to the AI ​​service infrastructure provider (such as Baidu, OpenAI, Tencent, or the app operator itself), pays the relevant fees, and obtains permission to call the AI ​​service API. This permission is generally expressed in the form of an app key, app secret, or token.

[0189] 2. After registering on the APP, users of the electronic cigarette intelligent module apply to the APP operator through the APP for the required artificial intelligence services, and the APP operator's server opens an interface to the user.

[0190] 3. Users of the e-cigarette smart module pay relevant fees through the APP and use related artificial intelligence services on demand.

[0191] The second AI service registration process is as follows:

[0192] 1. Users of e-cigarette smart modules apply for a personal AI service account from an AI service infrastructure provider (such as Baidu, OpenAI, Tencent, or the APP operator itself), pay the relevant fees, and obtain the right to call the AI ​​service API interface. This call permission is generally expressed in the form of an app key, app secret, token, etc.

[0193] 2. After registering on the APP, users of the electronic cigarette intelligent module can choose to provide their own interface when applying for the use of artificial intelligence services, and then enter the API interface certificate issued by the artificial intelligence service infrastructure provider obtained by him / her. After that, he / she can use his / her own certificate on the APP to use the relevant artificial intelligence services.

[0194] Specifically, intelligent interaction with the smart electronic cigarette also includes waking up the smart module of the electronic cigarette. The specific operation method is as follows:

[0195] If the user does not operate the electronic cigarette intelligent module for a long time (such as 30 seconds, 1 minute, etc., the specific value can be set on the APP. If the electronic cigarette intelligent module has a touch screen, it can also be set on the touch screen of the electronic cigarette intelligent module), in order to save power, the electronic cigarette intelligent module will enter a low-power standby mode. (Of course, the electronic cigarette intelligent module can also be in normal power consumption mode all the time, ready to interact with the user at any time to provide better convenience)

[0196] If the electronic cigarette intelligent module happens to be in the user's hand, the user can lightly press the power button (or other physical button) and the electronic cigarette intelligent module immediately enters the normal power consumption mode.

[0197] If the electronic cigarette intelligent module is not in the user's hand or is in the user's hand, the user can send a wake-up word (such as "Dami Dami", "Xiao Ai classmate", etc. The specific choice of wake-up word can be set or customized on the APP). After the electronic cigarette intelligent module receives the corresponding voice signal, it can enter the normal power consumption mode. For short voice signals such as wake-up words, there are multiple recognition methods: ① Built-in relevant voice recognition algorithms inside the electronic cigarette intelligent module to recognize the wake-up words; ② Install relevant voice recognition algorithms on the APP to recognize the wake-up words, and then the APP tells the electronic cigarette intelligent module the results; ③ Install relevant voice recognition algorithms on the server. After the APP receives the voice wake-up signal sent by the electronic cigarette intelligent module, it will send the data to the server after slight processing (such as compression, encryption, etc.). The server tells the APP the results, and the APP forwards it to the electronic cigarette intelligent module.

[0198] Since the electronic cigarette intelligent module of the present invention has an intelligent dialogue function, the intelligent electronic cigarette can, to a certain extent, serve as an intelligent companion for the user, and the wake-up word can be used as the name of the electronic cigarette intelligent module. By setting an anthropomorphic wake-up word, it can bring unique emotional value to the user. The specific introduction is as follows:

[0199] ① Users can define a name for themselves, such as "Master" or "My Darling". In the future, when the user communicates with the electronic cigarette intelligent module, the voice response issued by the electronic cigarette intelligent module will appear in the form of "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"

[0200] ② Users can define a favorite name for the electronic cigarette smart module, such as "Afu", "Afu Afu", "Tiedan", etc. In the future, when the user interacts with the electronic cigarette smart module, the user can wake up or call the electronic cigarette smart module with this name, for example, "Afu, what time is it now?"

[0201] ③ Users can customize or select the timbre of the voice emitted by the electronic cigarette intelligent module. The system provides some standard timbres, such as standard male voice, Cantonese female voice, etc. After the user selects a standard timbre, the electronic cigarette intelligent module will use this timbre to emit a voice response. Users can also customize their favorite timbre. The customization process is as follows: the user uploads a piece of voice they like to the background server. The background server calculates the acoustic characteristics of the voice (such as sound intensity, pitch, gene frequency, etc.). Then the electronic cigarette intelligent module can use the sound synthesized based on the acoustic characteristics to make a voice response.

[0202] ④ The user can turn on the voiceprint recognition switch, which means that the electronic cigarette smart module will only respond correctly when it "hears" the voice of the current user (not others). Otherwise, it will not respond or will respond with a response such as "Who are you? I don't seem to know you." Specifically, the user records a voice and submits it to the system. The system calculates the user's voiceprint characteristics and saves them. The electronic cigarette smart module can then use this voiceprint feature to determine whether the current speaker's voice comes from the correct user. This function can, to a certain extent, prevent the electronic cigarette smart module from being used without authorization by anyone other than the legitimate user, thereby protecting the rights and interests of legitimate users.

[0203] ⑤ According to the above mechanism, when the user wakes up the electronic cigarette intelligent module or interacts with the latter by voice, he can shout out the name he customized for the latter, and he will inevitably feel a sense of intimacy or other emotional feelings, thereby enjoying the unique emotional value provided by the present invention. For example, the user has a pet named "Afu" that he likes very much, but for some reason (such as being lost, given away, or other reasons), Afu is not around, and the user misses it very much. At this time, if the user says "Afu", "Afu Afu" or other names related to the word "Afu", or says a command related to "Afu, sing a happy birthday song", the electronic cigarette intelligent module can respond with the user's favorite self-name and timbre, for example, a Cantonese female voice will make a voice response of "Master, I will sing a happy birthday song for you now". In this interactive process, the user will inevitably feel the unique emotional value.

[0204] Specifically, the management of social functions of smart e-cigarettes also includes the following aspects:

[0205] 1. Friend Settings

[0206] Users can make various settings for the friend function in the APP, such as whether they are willing to be added as a friend by others, whether to allow others to add friends by mobile phone number / user name / type of e-cigarette smoked / regional search, circle of friends permissions, expected friend attributes (such as age, gender, education level, e-cigarette hobbies, etc.), etc.

[0207] 2. Add friends

[0208] Users can add friends in the APP through various methods such as mobile phone number, user name, regional search, interest search, and search by the characteristics of favorite e-cigarettes (such as brand, flavor, etc.).

[0209] Since the APP is closely integrated with the electronic cigarette smart module, users can also search and add nearby friends on the electronic cigarette smart module equipped with a touch screen. For example, the user picks up the electronic cigarette and shakes it to shake to nearby friends, and then choose whether to add them.

[0210] 3. Block friends and delete friends

[0211] Users can block or delete certain friends in the app. After blocking a friend, the two parties cannot continue chatting unless the user unblocks them. After deleting a friend, the two parties cannot continue chatting, and previous chat history will be cleared by default, but users can choose not to clear it.

[0212] 4. Moments

[0213] Users can post their latest updates (such as experiences, pictures, videos, etc.) in the APP, set which friends can see them, and friends can click to like and comment.

[0214] Since the APP is closely integrated with the electronic cigarette smart module, you can also post to Moments on the electronic cigarette smart module equipped with a touch screen. The simple process is: ① The user clicks the button to post to Moments on the touch screen of the electronic cigarette smart module and then enters the sending page; ② The user can input voice, or use voice-to-text technology to convert voice into text, or open the camera to capture nearby images (such as selfies, scenery, etc.) or videos; ③ Then click Send.

[0215] 5. Chat

[0216] Users can find friends in the app with whom they want to chat or reply, and reply via text, voice, voice-to-text, files, photos, real-time images, or videos. They can forward their own messages or messages from friends, delete communication records with friends, and recall content sent within 24 hours (the app operator can set other time limits, or different time limits can be set based on the user's membership level; for example, junior members can only recall messages sent within 5 minutes, while senior members can recall messages sent within 24 hours). Users can also initiate real-time voice or video chats.

[0217] Since the APP is closely integrated with the electronic cigarette smart module, you can also chat with friends, view messages, reply to messages, delete messages, withdraw messages, have real-time voice chat, real-time video chat, etc. on the electronic cigarette smart module equipped with a touch screen.

[0218] 6. Group chat and group messaging

[0219] When sending or forwarding messages, users can select multiple target friends at the same time and then send them.

[0220] Currently, most chat software does not support the customization of group messages. For example, if you want to send a Mid-Autumn Festival blessing message "Old friend, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, good health", the friends who receive the group message will know at a glance that it is likely a group message after seeing "Old friend, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, good health", and they may feel that they have not received preferential treatment from the message sender. The present invention provides a function for formatting group messages, allowing users to set a special title for each friend, such as "Teacher Zhang" for Zhang San, "Brother" for Li Si, and "My favorite Lao Wu" for Wang Wu. Then, when sending a group message, "{nn}" (representing a nickname, other identifiers can also be used) is used within the message, so that each message recipient will see the title for themselves. For example, for the group message "{nn}, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, good health", Zhang San receives "Teacher Zhang, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, good health", Li Si receives "Brother, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, good health", and Wang Wu receives "My favorite Lao Wu, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, good health".

[0221] Users can create a group containing designated friends for a specific purpose, and can set the group's properties (such as the authority to invite people to the group, speaking permissions, etc.). Messages sent by friends in the group can be seen by all friends in the group.

[0222] 7. Online meetings

[0223] Users can schedule an online meeting on the app. The system will then assign a meeting number and link to the meeting. These links and numbers are then sent to the relevant participants. At the scheduled time, participants can click the link in their respective apps to join a voice conference or a video conference. Participants in the meeting don't have to be friends or members of the same group. To prevent unauthorized participants from joining, the meeting initiator can restrict access to only those who have received the meeting invitation, with forwarded invitations being ineffective.

[0224] Since the APP is closely integrated with the electronic cigarette intelligent module, users can also enter the meeting in the electronic cigarette intelligent module equipped with a touch screen.

[0225] 8. File Sharing

[0226] There are multiple ways to share files on the APP:

[0227] Users can send files to designated friends in groups.

[0228] The system allocates a fixed-sized network disk space to each group. Everyone in the group can upload some files, which can be seen by others.

[0229] Users can upload files to the network disk space allocated by the system. The system will give a file download link and extraction code. The user can then send the download link and extraction code to friends, who can then download the file accordingly.

[0230] Specifically, setting auxiliary function parameters for smart electronic cigarettes includes the following aspects:

[0231] 1. Answering the phone

[0232] If the e-cigarette smart module is already bound to a mobile phone, then when someone calls this phone, the user can answer the call on the e-cigarette smart module. In essence, when the phone is connected, the other party's voice is transmitted to the phone and then transferred to the e-cigarette smart module through wireless communication. The sound-generating device of the e-cigarette smart module plays the sound out; when the user speaks through the e-cigarette smart module, the e-cigarette smart module collects the user's voice and sends it to the phone, which then sends it to the other party.

[0233] This function is particularly convenient in certain situations. For example, if the mobile phone is in the bedroom and the user is holding an e-cigarette in the living room or toilet, when someone calls, the user can answer the call directly.

[0234] When users use the electronic cigarette smart module to answer a call, they can either tap the physical button on it or give a voice command, such as "Dami dami, answer the call."

[0235] If the electronic cigarette smart module is equipped with a vibration motor, the user can set the incoming call reminder to turn off the sound but turn on the vibration, which is very important for special occasions (such as meetings) when encountering incoming calls.

[0236] If the electronic cigarette smart module is independently installed with a mobile communication device that can make calls, then it has an independent phone number, and others can also directly call this phone number; in this case, the electronic cigarette smart module does not need to maintain a wireless connection with the mobile phone.

[0237] 2. Make a phone call

[0238] If the e-cigarette smart module is already bound to the mobile phone and is equipped with a touch screen, the user can click the call button on the touch screen, then enter the other party's name or phone number, or speak the other party's name or phone number, and finally press the call button to make a call. In essence, the e-cigarette smart module sends the phone number to be dialed to the APP, and the APP calls the phone's system function to make the phone call.

[0239] This function is particularly convenient in certain situations. For example, if the mobile phone is in the bedroom and the user is holding an e-cigarette in the living room or toilet, the user can directly use the e-cigarette smart module to call others.

[0240] If the e-cigarette smart module is not equipped with a touch screen, the user can make a call by pressing a physical button or voice command, such as saying "Call Zhang San". After receiving the voice command, the APP will identify it. If the recognition is successful and it is found that there is only one Zhang San in the mobile phone address book and Zhang San has only one number, the APP will send the result to the e-cigarette smart module. The e-cigarette smart module will ask the user "Do you want to call Zhang San's number 1591210xxxx?" If the user answers "yes", the APP will call the mobile phone system function to make a call. If it is found that there are multiple Zhang Sans on the mobile phone, or Zhang San has multiple numbers, the e-cigarette smart module will ask the user multiple times and then make the call after confirmation.

[0241] If the electronic cigarette smart module is independently installed with a mobile communication device that can make calls, then it has an independent phone number and can directly dial other people's phone numbers; in this case, the electronic cigarette smart module does not need to maintain a wireless connection with the mobile phone.

[0242] 3. NFC Payment

[0243] The user opens the app and enters the NFC payment settings page.

[0244] Users bind existing bus cards or other cards.

[0245] The APP transfers the binding information to the electronic cigarette intelligent module.

[0246] In the future, you can use the e-cigarette smart module to initiate NFC payment.

[0247] 4. Heart rate and blood oxygen measurement

[0248] The cardiovascular and cerebrovascular status can reflect a person's health status, and it is a function that many electronic watches currently have. For e-cigarette smokers, their cardiovascular and cerebrovascular status may require more attention. The present invention installs heart rate and blood oxygen sensors on the electronic cigarette intelligent module, which can help e-cigarette smokers to check their own heart rate and blood oxygen or that of their relatives and friends in time for reference. The heart rate sensor and the blood oxygen sensor can be two independent sensors or a sensor combined into one. After the user tests the heart rate and blood oxygen on the electronic cigarette intelligent module, the electronic cigarette intelligent module transmits the relevant data to the APP, and the APP uploads the data to the background server. The background server can provide the user's health report based on the user's relevant historical data and related algorithms for the user's reference.

[0249] 5. Distance measurement

[0250] In daily life, we sometimes need to measure some distances, such as the height from a table to the ground, the distance from where we stand to the opposite building, etc.

[0251] If a TOF sensor, ultrasonic distance sensor, or other distance-like sensor is installed in the electronic cigarette smart module, the distance can be measured. After the distance is measured, it can be displayed on the screen of the electronic cigarette smart module.

[0252] 6. Add friends conveniently

[0253] E-cigarettes are a great social tool, and this application provides more convenient solutions for adding friends. Currently, some watches on the market have a tap-to-add friend function. The operation is that two users open a specified page on their respective watches, then move the two watches close together. The background uses a special algorithm to identify the two approaching watches, and finally a confirmation page pops up on the watch to confirm whether to add a friend. This method has a shortcoming, that is, the user needs to wake up the screen first, then open the specified page, and then move the two watches close together before the confirmation page for adding a friend pops up. This operation requires many steps and is relatively cumbersome. In addition, social software such as WeChat has a shake-to-add friend function, and its operation steps are also relatively many. For example, first unlock the phone screen, then open WeChat, then open the shake page of WeChat, and then perform the shake operation and other operations.

[0254] This application provides a variety of convenient ways to add friends, as follows:

[0255] 1. Tap to add friends

[0256] Prerequisite: Both electronic cigarette smart modules to be operated are equipped with gyroscopes.

[0257] The two electronic cigarettes are in a specific posture (such as both are in a vertical upward posture, which will be described below) and lightly collide head-on, and then go to the next step. Here is an explanation of why it is a specific state: the posture of the user holding the electronic cigarette is relatively casual. In daily life, electronic cigarettes may collide with obstacles (such as tables, bowls, door frames, drops, etc.) in various postures. The gyroscope will detect this collision, but for the touch-and-add friend function, this collision is an invalid collision. In order to filter out such invalid collisions, this application stipulates that only when two electronic cigarettes collide in a specific posture can it be considered a valid collision. As for what posture is the best specific posture, this is related to the shape of the electronic cigarette. For example, for most electronic cigarettes, the vertical upward head-on collision posture is a preferred posture, because unintentional collisions rarely occur in this posture; for electronic cigarettes with strange shapes, the horizontal posture may be a preferred posture.

[0258] The electronic cigarette intelligent module detects the three-axis acceleration and three-axis angular velocity output by the gyroscope to determine whether the bump operation described in this application has been performed. The judgment process is: a) Before the collision, is the electronic cigarette generally in a vertical upward posture (characterized by the three-axis angular velocity being generally zero, the horizontal x-axis and y-axis acceleration being generally zero, and the vertical z-axis acceleration being generally equivalent to the acceleration of gravity); b) At the moment of collision, the acceleration of the axis perpendicular to the front (assuming this axis is the y-axis, of course, it can also be set as the x-axis) has a large change (a threshold value obtained through statistical experiments will be set before leaving the factory), while the acceleration of the other axes does not change much; c) If both a) and b) give a positive answer, it can be determined that this is a valid collision.

[0259] After detecting a valid collision, the electronic cigarette smart module itself or through the APP broadcasts the message that it has just detected a valid collision (including the collision time and its own unique identifier and other data) to nearby electronic cigarette smart modules or apps via Bluetooth. At the same time, it will also receive valid collision messages sent by other electronic cigarette smart modules or apps.

[0260] After detecting a valid collision and receiving a valid collision data packet from another electronic cigarette smart module or APP, and detecting that the collision time sent by the other party is not much different from its own collision time (the specific threshold can be determined through statistical experiments before leaving the factory, generally speaking, it can be set to 500ms), the electronic cigarette smart module lights up the screen and a page pops up, asking whether to add the other party as a friend. If the user chooses yes, the electronic cigarette smart module will send its own unique identifier, the other party's unique identifier and the collision time to the server, indicating that it wants to add a friend. If the other party also performs a similar action, the server determines that the two are added as friends. If either party chooses no, the friend addition is unsuccessful.

[0261] Please note that this feature requires revealing a unique identifier to the other user's APP or e-cigarette smart module. Although the other user cannot directly obtain this unique identifier, those with ulterior motives can obtain it through technical means and may use it for illegal purposes. Therefore, this application disables this feature by default on the APP and e-cigarette smart module. When the user needs to enable this feature, a page will pop up to inform the user of the risks. This feature can only be enabled if the user is aware of and agrees.

[0262] 2. Shake to add friends

[0263] Prerequisite: Both electronic cigarette smart modules to be operated are equipped with gyroscopes.

[0264] Both electronic cigarettes are in a basically static state (in the static state, the acceleration of the horizontal two axes x and y of the gyroscope is approximately 0, the acceleration of the vertical z axis is approximately the acceleration of gravity, and the angular velocity of the three axes is approximately 0).

[0265] The user starts to shake the electronic cigarette with a large amplitude, and the duration exceeds a certain threshold (for example, 2 seconds, the specific value can be determined through statistical experiments before leaving the factory).

[0266] In a short period of time, if the gyroscope detects a relatively drastic change, the electronic cigarette smart module will broadcast the shake message it just detected (including the start time and duration of the shake and its own unique identifier) ​​to nearby electronic cigarette smart modules or apps through Bluetooth. At the same time, it will also receive shake messages sent by other electronic cigarette smart modules or apps.

[0267] After detecting a shake message and receiving a shake data packet from another electronic cigarette smart module or APP, and detecting that the start and end time interval of the shake sent by the other party is not much different from its own (the specific threshold can be determined through statistical experiments before leaving the factory. Generally speaking, the two intervals should have an intersection, and the intersection length can be set to 500ms), the electronic cigarette smart module lights up the screen and a page pops up, asking whether to add the other party as a friend. If the user chooses yes, the electronic cigarette smart module will send its own unique identifier, the other party's unique identifier, and the shake time and duration to the server, indicating that it wants to add a friend. If the other party also performs a similar action, the server determines that the two are added as friends. If one party chooses no, adding friends is unsuccessful.

[0268] Depending on the settings, the shake operation may not be limited to adding friends within a short distance nearby (for Bluetooth, this distance is about 10 meters), but can be expanded to a larger physical distance (such as 500 meters or other distances) or the entire operating platform. The specific process is: a) After the electronic cigarette intelligent module detects the shake, it uploads the start and end time of the shake and the unique identifier to the APP; b) The APP pre-processes this data and GPS positioning data and sends it to the server; c) The server determines which people's shakes within a given distance have a time intersection based on the received data, and sends the user names of those with a time intersection to the APP; d) The APP receives the data packet sent by the server and forwards it to the electronic cigarette intelligent module; e) The electronic cigarette intelligent module displays who has shaken at the same time within a given distance. The user looks through the list of people, selects one or more to add as friends, and waits for the other party to reply. If the other party agrees, the friend is successfully added. For e), the user can also operate on the APP.

[0269] Please note that this feature requires revealing a unique identifier to the other user's APP or e-cigarette smart module. Although the other user cannot directly obtain this unique identifier, those with ulterior motives can obtain it through technical means and may use it for illegal purposes. Therefore, this application disables this feature by default on the APP and e-cigarette smart module. When the user needs to enable this feature, a page will pop up to inform the user of the risks. This feature can only be enabled if the user is aware of and agrees.

[0270] 3. Add friends through distance sensor

[0271] Prerequisite: The electronic cigarette smart module is equipped with a distance sensor, such as a TOF sensor or an ultrasonic sensor.

[0272] Two users hold their respective e-cigarettes and move close to each other, with the distance sensor facing each other's e-cigarette. Then their own distance sensor will detect the obstacle and the corresponding distance.

[0273] When the detected distance is less than a certain threshold (for example, 3 cm), the electronic cigarette smart module itself or through the APP broadcasts the distance message it has just detected (including the distance value, detection time, and its own unique identifier) ​​to nearby electronic cigarette smart modules or apps via Bluetooth. At the same time, it will also receive distance messages sent by other electronic cigarette smart modules or apps.

[0274] After detecting an obstacle distance less than the threshold and receiving a distance message from another electronic cigarette smart module or APP, and the distance detection time sent by the other party is not much different from its own (the specific threshold can be determined through statistical experiments before leaving the factory, such as 500ms), the electronic cigarette smart module lights up the screen and a page pops up, asking whether to add the other party as a friend. If the user chooses yes, the electronic cigarette smart module will send its own unique identifier, the other party's unique identifier, the distance detection time and the distance value to the server, indicating that it wants to add a friend. If the other party also performs a similar action, the server determines that the two are added as friends. If one party chooses no, the friend addition is unsuccessful.

[0275] Please note that this feature requires revealing a unique identifier to the other user's APP or e-cigarette smart module. Although the other user cannot directly obtain this unique identifier, those with ulterior motives can obtain it through technical means and may use it for illegal purposes. Therefore, this application disables this feature by default on the APP and e-cigarette smart module. When the user needs to enable this feature, a page will pop up to inform the user of the risks. This feature can only be enabled if the user is aware of and agrees.

[0276] 4. Add friends through Hall sensor

[0277] Prerequisite: The e-cigarette smart module is equipped with a Hall effect sensor and a small magnet. The preferred layout is: both the Hall effect sensor and the small magnet are mounted on the front (or back) of the e-cigarette, and their left-right layout is fixed. For example, the Hall effect sensor is fixed on the left (or right) side of the front, while the small magnet is fixed on the right (or left) side. To facilitate mutual induction between different models of e-cigarettes, the distance between the Hall effect sensor and the small magnet should be relatively fixed, for example, about 1.5 cm.

[0278] Two users hold their respective e-cigarettes close to each other, with the sides equipped with Hall sensors facing each other, so that the Hall sensor of each e-cigarette will detect the other's small magnet.

[0279] When the Hall sensor detects another small magnet in an electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette smart module itself or through the APP broadcasts the magnet detection message it just detected (including the detection time and its own unique identifier and other data) to nearby electronic cigarette smart modules or apps via Bluetooth. At the same time, it will also receive magnet detection messages sent by other electronic cigarette smart modules or apps.

[0280] When the electronic cigarette smart module receives or the APP detects the magnet message, after receiving the distance message from other electronic cigarette smart modules or APPs, if the distance detection time sent by the other party is not much different from its own (the specific threshold can be determined through statistical experiments before leaving the factory, such as 500ms), the electronic cigarette smart module lights up the screen and a page pops up, asking whether to add the other party as a friend. If the user chooses yes, the electronic cigarette smart module will send its own unique identifier, the other party's unique identifier, the distance detection time and the distance value to the server, indicating that it wants to add a friend. If the other party also performs a similar action, the server will determine that the two are added as friends. If one party chooses no, the friend addition is unsuccessful.

[0281] Please note that this feature requires revealing a unique identifier to the other user's APP or e-cigarette smart module. Although the other user cannot directly obtain this unique identifier, those with ulterior motives can obtain it through technical means and may use it for illegal purposes. Therefore, this application disables this feature by default on the APP and e-cigarette smart module. When the user needs to enable this feature, a page will pop up to inform the user of the risks. This feature can only be enabled if the user is aware of and agrees.

[0282] 7. Time calibration

[0283] Some functions of the electronic cigarette smart module (such as touch detection and the dial on the electronic cigarette smart module screen) are very dependent on the accuracy of time. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently adjust the time. The present invention will adopt two time adjustment schemes at the same time, as described below:

[0284] 1) Every time the electronic cigarette intelligent module establishes Bluetooth communication with the mobile phone, it must calibrate the time to make it consistent with the mobile phone. After that, the electronic cigarette intelligent module and the mobile phone must calibrate the time at a certain time interval (for example, every 5 minutes).

[0285] 2) Since different users may be in different time zones or their mobile phone times may be different, there will be some inconveniences when their apps or their electronic cigarette smart modules communicate with each other. Therefore, the present invention will perform a second time calibration based on the operator's server time (using international standard time, specifically, UTC / GMT+0 time). When the app is opened and communicates with the server for the first time, the app will calibrate the time according to the server and record the difference between the phone time and the server time. The app will then transmit the server time to the electronic cigarette smart module, which will record the difference between its own time (which has been calibrated with the phone time) and the server time. Thereafter, the app will calibrate the time with the server at regular intervals (such as 5 minutes). When it comes to operations that are important to time (such as touch detection, shake, etc.), the server will comprehensively consider the current app time, the current electronic cigarette smart module time, and the server time.

[0286] 8. Data upload during repeated connection

[0287] Sometimes, when the electronic cigarette intelligent module is transmitting data with the APP, data transmission will be interrupted due to some unexpected circumstances (such as sudden weakening of the Bluetooth signal, sudden disconnection of the Bluetooth connection, the mobile phone is out of power and turned off, the electronic cigarette is out of power and turned off, etc.). To this end, both the APP and the electronic cigarette intelligent module can take some measures (such as saving data such as the transmission progress in non-volatile memory), and when the connection is restored, the upload can be resumed from the original progress position.

[0288] 9. Connect an external audio player

[0289] The electronic cigarette intelligent module can be connected to wired headphones through the headphone jack of the human-computer interaction unit, or to wireless headphones (such as Bluetooth headphones) through the wireless communication module, so that the sound is transmitted to the user through the headphones instead of the speakers. For example, when a user uses the electronic cigarette intelligent module to play music, the user does not want the music to disturb others (for example, the user is on the subway), so the user can connect a Bluetooth headset or a wired headset to the electronic cigarette intelligent module.
