Solution Overview

Problem

Existing aroma diffusers require manual operation of buttons for control, which is inconvenient and lacks intuitive feedback on control results.

Innovation Solution

A control method and device that uses a mobile terminal to display an aroma diffuser control page with adjusting controls and a result reflection graph, allowing users to adjust the diffuser's working mode and visualize the adjustment results without manual button operation, via communication with the diffuser through Bluetooth, WiFi, or other wireless technologies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual button operation is used to control the aroma diffuser, then the device can be controlled, but the operation convenience is poor and lacks intuitive feedback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol convenienceVSAvoidcontrol result feedback
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a result reflection graph that provides real-time visual feedback on the aroma diffuser's working parameters. When users adjust controls on the mobile terminal, the system displays updated information about atomization amount, duration, light brightness, and music playback status, allowing users to intuitively observe control results without manual button operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a mobile terminal as an intermediary device between the user and the aroma diffuser. The mobile terminal runs a control application that communicates with the diffuser via Bluetooth or WiFi, providing a more convenient interface than direct button operation. The intermediary device enables remote control and displays detailed working parameters that would be difficult to show on the diffuser itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If mobile terminal control is implemented, then operation convenience is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol convenienceVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes a mobile terminal that users already possess for controlling the aroma diffuser. The mobile terminal serves multiple purposes: it acts as a remote control interface, a display device for showing working parameters, and a communication bridge between the user and the diffuser. This multi-functionality approach avoids adding dedicated complex control hardware to the diffuser itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical button control system on the diffuser with an electronic/software-based control system on the mobile terminal. The control application uses software interfaces (touch screen, sliders, buttons) instead of physical buttons, and communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth or WiFi, eliminating the need for complex mechanical control circuits on the diffuser.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

The present application relates to the technical field of an aroma diffuser, and more particularly to a control method and a control device for an aroma diffuser, a mobile terminal, and a storage medium. The control method includes: displaying an aroma diffuser control page, in which, the aroma diffuser control page includes a result reflection graph and at least one adjusting control; and adjusting, when an operation of the at least one adjusting control is detected, a working mode of the aroma diffuser, and updating a result reflection graph, in which, the result reflection graph shows an adjustment result of the working mode. Therefore, the aroma diffuser can be easily controlled, and the control result of the aroma diffuser can be presented on the result reflection graph.
