Electronic Cigarette Angle Detection for Automatic Battery Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic cigarettes have inconvenient and low-intelligence indicator lights that require manual control to display battery charge or usage state, lacking automatic and intuitive methods for users to check remaining battery life.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating an angle detection device and a control device connected to an indicator light group, which automatically displays battery life information based on the electronic cigarette's angle or shake state, using LED lights, OLEDs, or LCDs to provide visual feedback through color, brightness, number, order, and frequency changes.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual control is used to trigger indicator light display, then the display function is achieved, but the operation convenience is poor and intelligence is low
Solution Approach 1:
The indicator light group automatically displays battery status information without requiring manual user input. The control device detects battery parameters and triggers the indicator lights to show charge level, working state, or other status information autonomously, making the system serve itself rather than requiring user activation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical control (physical buttons or switches) with an automatic detection and control system. The control device uses electronic sensing and processing to automatically determine when and how to display indicator light information, substituting mechanical user interaction with electronic automation.
2Extent of automation
If simple indicator lights are used, then the device complexity is low, but the display intelligence and information richness are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The indicator light group is divided into multiple independent light-emitting units that can be controlled separately. Each unit can display different colors or states, allowing the system to convey multiple types of information (battery level, charge status, warnings) simultaneously without requiring a single complex display device.
Solution Approach 2:
The indicator light system uses dynamic display modes including different colors, brightness levels, and blinking frequencies to convey various battery states. The control device dynamically adjusts the indicator light parameters based on real-time battery status, enabling intelligent information communication without adding hardware complexity.
