And the second information is the information acquired by the control element under the condition that the control function is started. Specifically, if the third information in this embodiment is the second operation signal generated when the control element is operated when the control function of the control element is turned off, the second information is the second operation signal generated when the control element is operated when the control function of the control element is turned on; if the third information in this embodiment is information collected by the control element when the control function of the control element is turned off, the second information is information collected by the control element when the control function of the control element is turned on.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a control method of an electronic cigarette according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control method can be applied to the electronic cigarette, and the control method can comprise the following steps.
Step 210, collecting first information, and determining whether a starting condition corresponding to a control function of the control element is met according to the first information.
The first information comprises third information or a first operation signal generated when the main control key is operated; the third information is information acquired by the control element when the control function of the control element is turned off, and the information acquired by the control element may be a second operation signal generated when the control element is operated or information acquired by the control element.
The electronic cigarette is provided with at least one control element, and the control function of each control element refers to a function that a user can control the electronic cigarette by operating the control element, such as whether an atomizer of the electronic cigarette works or not and the working mode of the electronic cigarette, where the working mode of the electronic cigarette includes at least one of the working mode of the electronic cigarette, the output power of the atomizer during working and the temperature of the atomizer during working. After the control function of the control piece in the at least one control piece is started, the user can control the electronic cigarette by operating the control piece. Optionally, the user can also control the electronic cigarette to be turned off by operating the control piece.
The control function of each control element in the electronic cigarette corresponds to one starting condition. And when the starting condition corresponding to the control function of one control piece is met, the electronic cigarette starts the control function of the control piece. The starting condition corresponding to the control function of each control element can be set by a system developer or can be customized by a user.
Specifically, this step can be implemented in several ways:
first, by the implementation of several steps as shown in fig. 3.
Step 211, collecting third information.
In the case where the control member is a device operable by a user to generate a second operation signal, the third information is the second operation signal generated when the user is operated. For example, when the control element is a press key, the third information is a pressure signal generated when the press key is operated; for another example, when the control element is a virtual key displayed on the display screen, the third information is a second operation signal generated when the virtual key is pressed; for another example, when the control element is a touch screen, a touch key, or an entity touch key, the third information is a touch signal.
When the control element is a sensor, the third information is the information collected by the control element. For example, in the case that the control element is an acceleration sensor, the third information is the acceleration information collected by the control element; for another example, in the case that the control element is a voice acquisition device, the third information is a voice signal acquired by the control element; for another example, in the case that the control element is a gyroscope, the third information is angular velocity information acquired by the control element; for another example, in the case that the control element is an inertial navigation device, the third information is that the control element collects inertial navigation information, the inertial navigation information includes an angular velocity and an acceleration, and the inertial navigation information can be used to determine a moving velocity and a moving track of the electronic cigarette body.
In step 212, if the third information satisfies the starting precondition corresponding to the control function of the control element, a first operation signal generated when the main control key is operated is obtained.
The control function of each control element in the electronic cigarette corresponds to a starting precondition, and the starting precondition corresponding to the control function of each control element can be set by a system developer or can be customized by a user.
Taking the control element as a pressure button for example, the activation precondition corresponding to the control element may be that the pressure exerted on the pressure button exceeds a predetermined pressure threshold. That is, the user may satisfy the activation precondition for the control function of the pressure key by exerting a force on the pressure key that exceeds a predetermined pressure threshold.
For example, the control element is taken as an entity touch key, and the starting precondition corresponding to the control element may be that a time interval between two continuously detected touch signals is less than a preset time length. That is, the user may satisfy the starting precondition of the control function of the physical touch key by touching the physical touch key twice in succession.
Taking the control element as an acceleration sensor for example, the starting precondition corresponding to the control element can be that the electronic cigarette body is shaken back and forth three times within the preset time. The processor in the electronic cigarette can determine whether the electronic cigarette body is shaken back and forth for three times within preset time according to the acceleration information detected by the acceleration sensor. That is, the user can satisfy the starting precondition of the control function of the acceleration sensor by shaking the electronic cigarette back and forth three times.
Taking the control element as the touch screen for example, the starting precondition corresponding to the control element may be that the sliding track on the touch screen is a predetermined shape, and the predetermined shape may be a shape such as a triangle, a circle, and the like. The processor in the electronic cigarette can determine whether a sliding track formed on the touch screen is in a preset shape according to the touch signal detected by the touch screen. And under the condition that the preset shape is a triangle, the user controls the index finger to slide on the touch screen to form a triangle to meet the starting precondition of the control function of the touch screen.
The control element is taken as a voice acquisition device for illustration, and the starting precondition corresponding to the control element can be that the acquired voice signal comprises a preset voice instruction. The processor in the electronic cigarette can recognize the voice content in the voice signal and determine whether the voice content comprises a preset voice instruction, wherein the voice instruction can be set by a system developer and can also be customized by a user. For example, when the preset voice command is "start the voice control function", the user speaks "start the voice control function" to the electronic cigarette to satisfy the starting precondition of the control function of the voice collecting device.
In step 213, if the first operation signal satisfies the start-up confirmation condition, it is determined that the start-up condition corresponding to the control function of the control element is satisfied, and step 220 is executed.
The starting condition can be set by a system developer or customized by a user. For example, the condition for confirming the start may be that 3 pressing signals are received within a preset time, and each pressing signal is a signal generated when the main control key is pressed.
The example is given by confirming that the starting condition is that 3 pressing signals are received within the preset time, and the control element is a pressing button. The user can satisfy the starting precondition of the control function of the pressure button by exerting the force exceeding the preset pressure threshold value on the pressure button, and then continuously presses the main control button for 3 times to satisfy the starting confirmation condition, so as to trigger the electronic cigarette to start the control function of the pressure button.
And secondly, acquiring third information, and determining whether the starting condition corresponding to the control function of the control element is met or not according to the third information.
Taking the control element as an example of a voice collecting device, the processor in the electronic cigarette can identify the voice content of the voice signal collected by the processor. And when the voice content is 'directly starting the voice control function', determining that the starting condition corresponding to the control function of the voice acquisition device is met.
And thirdly, acquiring a first operation signal generated when the main control key is operated, and determining whether the starting condition corresponding to the control element is met or not according to the first operation signal.
Taking the control element as the voice acquisition device for example, when the first operation signal is a pressing signal generated when the main control key is continuously pressed for 10 seconds, it is determined that the starting condition corresponding to the control function of the voice acquisition device is satisfied. That is, the user can directly start the control function of the voice collecting device by continuously pressing the main control key for 10 seconds.
And step 220, when the starting condition corresponding to the control function of the control element is met, starting the control function of the control element.
After performing step 220, either step 230 or step 240 or step 250 may be performed.
And step 230, controlling the electronic cigarette according to the acquired second information under the condition that the control function of the control element is in an open state.
And the second information is the information acquired by the control element under the condition that the control function is started. Specifically, if the third information in this embodiment is the second operation signal generated when the control element is operated when the control function of the control element is turned off, the second information is the second operation signal generated when the control element is operated when the control function of the control element is turned on; if the third information in this embodiment is information collected by the control element when the control function of the control element is turned off, the second information is information collected by the control element when the control function of the control element is turned on.
Optionally, where the control element is an acceleration sensor, the processor of the e-cigarette may control the e-cigarette in accordance with the second information (i.e. its detected acceleration information). For example, when the electronic cigarette is determined to shake back and forth for 2 times according to the acceleration information, the working mode of the electronic cigarette is switched; for another example, when the acceleration information of the electronic cigarette is higher than a preset acceleration threshold, the electronic cigarette is controlled to be turned off, so that the user controls the electronic cigarette to be turned off by shaking the electronic cigarette with strength.
Optionally, in a case that the control element is a voice collecting device, the processor of the electronic cigarette may identify a voice instruction in the second information (i.e., the voice signal collected by the voice collecting device) collected by the voice collecting device, and control the electronic cigarette according to the voice instruction. For example, when the voice signal is detected to comprise a voice instruction of 'turning off', the electronic cigarette is controlled to be turned off; for another example, when the voice signal is detected to include a voice instruction "switch to manual mode", the electronic cigarette is controlled to enter the manual mode.
Optionally, in a case that the control element is a touch screen, the processor of the electronic cigarette may determine a sliding track on the touch screen according to the second information (i.e., the collected touch signal) collected by the touch screen, and control the electronic cigarette according to the sliding track. For example, when the sliding track is triangular, the electronic cigarette is controlled to be turned off; for another example, when the sliding track is square, the electronic cigarette is controlled to switch the working mode.
Optionally, under the condition that the control element is a gyroscope, the processor of the electronic cigarette may determine the movement track of the electronic cigarette body according to the second information acquired by the gyroscope, and control the electronic cigarette according to the movement track. For example, when the moving track of the electronic cigarette is circular, the working mode of the electronic cigarette is switched; for another example, when the moving track of the electronic cigarette is hooked, the electronic cigarette is controlled to be turned off.
Optionally, in a case that the control element is an inertial navigation device, the processor of the electronic cigarette may determine a movement track and a posture of the electronic cigarette body according to the second information acquired by the inertial navigation device, and control the electronic cigarette according to the movement track and/or the posture. For example, when the moving track of the electronic cigarette is circular, the working mode of the electronic cigarette is switched; for another example, when the electronic cigarette is placed upside down, the electronic cigarette is controlled to be turned off.
And step 240, when the first closing condition is met, closing the control function of the control part.
The first closing condition may be customized by a user or set by a developer. For example, the first off condition may be that the main control key is pressed a first predetermined number of times at a first predetermined time.
For example, the first predetermined time is 4s, and the first predetermined number of times is 4 times, after the control function of the pressure button on the electronic cigarette is started, the user may close the control function of the pressure button by continuously pressing the main control button for 4 times within 4 s.
The specific implementation of this step may be: and when the first closing condition is met, determining the control element with the shortest continuous opening time of the control function, and closing the control function of the control element.
And step 250, when the second closing condition is met and the control function of at least one control element on the electronic cigarette is started, closing the control function of the at least one control element.
The second closing condition may be customized by a user or set by a developer. For example, the second off condition may be that the main control key is pressed a second predetermined number of times at a second predetermined time.
It should be noted that, when the control functions of all the control elements of the electronic cigarette are turned off, the processor in the electronic cigarette controls the electronic cigarette according to the first operation signal generated when the main control key is operated, and the electronic cigarette is not controlled according to the third information corresponding to any one of the control elements, that is, at this time, the user can only control the electronic cigarette by operating the main control key, and cannot control the electronic cigarette by operating any one of the control elements.
In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, by acquiring first information, it is determined whether a starting condition corresponding to a control function of a control element is satisfied according to the first information, where the first information includes information acquired when a main control key is operated or information acquired by the control element when the control function of the control element is turned off; when the starting condition is met, starting the control function of the control piece; under the condition that the control function of the control piece is in an opening state, the electronic cigarette is controlled according to the collected second information; the second information is acquired by the control element when the control function of the control element is started; the electronic cigarette control method comprises the steps that a user can control the electronic cigarette to meet a starting condition corresponding to a control function of a control piece, the control function of the control piece is triggered to be started, and therefore the control piece is used for controlling the electronic cigarette; the problem of too single control mode of electron cigarette among the correlation technique is solved, the effect of richening the control mode of electron cigarette has been reached.
In one example, the electronic cigarette determines whether to rapidly start the control function of the other control element according to fourth information collected by the electronic cigarette within a preset time after the control function of any control element is started, wherein the fourth information is information acquired by the control element. For a specific implementation, please refer to several steps shown in fig. 4.
Step 401, a third operation signal generated when another control element is operated is obtained to obtain fourth information, where the another control element is any control element whose control function is not turned on.
And step 402, acquiring information acquired by other control elements to obtain fourth information, wherein the other control elements are any control elements of which the control functions are not started.
It should be noted that, in the case that the other control element is a device that can be operated by the user to generate the third operation signal, step 401 is executed first, then step 403 is executed, and step 402 is not executed; if the other control element is a sensor, step 402 is executed first, step 403 is executed, and step 401 is not executed.
And 403, if the fourth information meets the starting precondition corresponding to the other control element, starting the control function of the other control element.
Taking the preset time as 3s for example, the user firstly applies a force exceeding the preset pressure threshold value to the pressure key to meet the starting precondition of the control function of the pressure key, then continuously presses the main control key for 3 times to meet the starting confirmation condition, and triggers the electronic cigarette to start the control function of the pressure key. Within 3s after continuously pressing the main control key for 3 times, the user continuously touches the entity touch key for two times again to meet the starting precondition of the control function of the entity touch key, the electronic cigarette quickly starts the control function of the entity touch key, and the user is not required to press the main control key for 3 times to determine to start the control function of the entity touch key. After that, the user can control the electronic cigarette by operating the pressure key and the physical touch key.
And step 404, controlling the electronic cigarette according to the acquired fifth information.
In the case of executing step 401, the fifth information in step 404 is a third operation signal generated when the other control element is operated when the control function of the other control element is turned on; in the case of executing step 402, the fifth information in step 404 is the information collected by the other control element when the control function of the other control element is turned on.
In step 404, the specific implementation of controlling the electronic cigarette according to the fifth information may refer to the implementation of controlling the electronic cigarette according to the collected second information in step 230, and details are not repeated here.
In one example, after the control function of a certain control element is turned on, the user can also turn off the control function of the control element by operating the control element. The specific implementation can be as follows: when the control function of a control element is started, determining whether a closing condition corresponding to the control function of the control element is met or not according to second information; and when the closing condition corresponding to the control function of the control element is met, closing the control function of the control element.
Taking the control element as a voice acquisition device for example, a processor in the electronic cigarette can identify the voice content of the voice signal acquired by the processor.
