S3, the electric kettle detects current working status information and running status information.

Wherein, the working state information may include, for example, the working time and working temperature of the electric kettle; the operating parameter information may include, for example, the amount of water in the kettle body, and the working status of each detection unit of the electric kettle, such as a temperature detection unit.

S4, the electric kettle sends the current working state information to the mobile terminal, and judges whether a fault occurs according to the running state information.

The mobile terminal can inquire after receiving the working status information of the electric kettle. In addition, it is also judged whether a fault occurs according to the running status information. For example, if it is determined according to the detection data that the heating module cannot be heated, or the temperature detection unit cannot detect, or the water is short of water during the operation of the electric kettle, then it is determined that a fault has occurred. If a fault occurs, step S5 is executed.

S5, the electric kettle generates fault information when judging that a fault occurs, and sends the fault information to the mobile terminal.

For example, when there is water shortage, the electric kettle generates water shortage information and sends the water shortage information to the mobile terminal to remind the user to deal with it in time. Alternatively, if it is judged that the detection sensor component cannot be detected, a fault message is generated and sent to the mobile terminal.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, the above control method further includes:

S6, the electric kettle receives a user instruction to generate a timing time, and generates a prompt message when the timing time is reached.

For example, the user sets the timing time through the trigger module of the electric kettle such as the time setting button to remind the user to drink water, and the time setting button generates the timing time after receiving the user's setting instruction, and then can be stored in the control module of the electric kettle, After the control module judges that the timing reaches the timing time, it generates a prompt message.

S7, the electric kettle sends prompt information to the mobile terminal to remind the user.

For example, after the scheduled time is reached, the water drinking information is sent to the mobile terminal, thereby reminding the user to drink water in time.

According to the control method of the electric kettle in the embodiment of the present invention, the electric kettle communicates with the mobile terminal, the electric kettle receives the control information sent by the mobile terminal, and then the electric kettle works according to the control information, thereby realizing the remote control of the electric kettle, even if Users can also control the electric kettle outside, which is more intelligent. In addition, the electric kettle sends the working status information to the mobile terminal for query, or generates fault information according to the running status information to remind the user that the electric kettle fails and needs to be dealt with in time.
