The action of the smoking amount control guide device and its driving method according to the embodiment of the present invention to the above-described configuration is as follows.

When the power is applied, the method of driving the smoking amount control induction device according to the embodiment of the present invention, which is programmed and stored in the memory 30, is executed by the microcontroller 20, so that the smoking amount control induction device according to the embodiment of the present invention. The operation of starts.

When the operation is started, the microcontroller 20 determines whether a signal for inputting a user's name is input from the English letter setting switch SW1 of the switch input unit 10 after initializing all variables of the memory 30.

Each time the user presses the alphabetic character setting switch SW1 of the switch input unit 10 once. The microcontroller 20 detects this and outputs a control signal to the LCD driver 40 so that the alphabetic characters appear sequentially on the screen of the LCD 50 in alphabetical order.

When the desired English letter is displayed on the screen of the LCD 50, the user presses the English letter selection switch SW2 so that the English letter displayed on the screen of the LCD 50 is magnetically stored in the memory 30.

After one English letter is stored in the memory 30, each time the user presses the English letter setting switch SW2 of the switch input unit 10 once, the alphabet appears again sequentially on the screen of the LCD 50. By repeating the alphabetic character selection process as described above, the user can store the user's name in the memory 30.

In this case, the user may cancel the selected alphabetic character by pressing the alphabetic character cancel switch SW3.

In this way, the English character setting switch SW1, the English character selecting switch SW2, and the English character canceling switch SW3 for inputting the user's name are not frequently used by the user. It is preferable to be installed in an invisible place of 80).

Next, the microcontroller 20 determines whether the user inputs a signal for setting the reference time interval for controlling the smoking amount from the time interval setting switch SW5 of the switch 10.

Whenever the user presses the time interval setting switch SW5 of the switch input unit 10 once, the microcontroller 20 detects this and outputs a control signal to the LCD driver 40 so that the interval is 30 minutes to 90 minutes. The numbers indicating the time intervals appear sequentially and repeatedly on the screen of the LCD 50.

When a number indicating the time interval desired by the user is displayed on the screen of the LCD 50, the user stops inputting the time interval setting switch SW5 so that the time interval displayed on the screen of the LCD 50 is stored as a reference time interval. 30).

In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-described time interval allows the selection to be set at an interval of 10 minutes from 30 minutes to 90 minutes, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited thereto and may be selected in more detail and in a wider range. You can change the software program to make it work.

Next, the microcontroller 20 uses the signals input from the start switch SW6 and the cigarette pack opening switch SW4 of the switch input unit 10 to complete the setting operation by the user, and then closes the lid of the cigarette pack 80. It is determined whether to start the operation by detecting whether it is closed. When the user presses the start switch SW6 of the switch input unit 10 to indicate that the setting operation is completed, and the cigarette pack opening switch SW4 is turned off by closing the lid of the cigarette pack 80, the microcontroller ( 20) starts the counting operation after resetting the timer.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the above timer is configured in software, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be configured using a hardware timer.

Next, the microcontroller 20 determines whether the cigarette pack 80 using a signal input from the cigarette pack opening switch SW4 of the switch input unit 10 is opened. When the user opens the lid of the cigarette pack 80 to take out the cigarette contained in the cigarette pack 80 to smoke, the cigarette pack opening switch SW4 of the switch input unit 10 is turned on.

When the pack of cigarettes 80 is opened as described above, the microcontroller 20 determines whether the timer time stored in the memory 30 is greater than the reference time interval.

When the time of the timer stored in the memory 30 is greater than the reference time interval, the microcontroller 20 considers that the user has quit smoking during the reference time interval and adds a credit score to the screen of the LCD 50. At the same time, encouragement phrases such as I love you, John, and the like are displayed on the screen of the LCD 50.

However, when the time of the timer stored in the memory 30 is not greater than the reference time interval, the microcontroller 20 considers that the user intends to smoke within the reference time interval and subtracts the credit score to the LCD 50. At the same time as the output to the screen, such as a warning message such as Think Twice, John is output to the screen of the LCD (50). In addition, in the above-described case, the microcontroller 20 outputs an acoustic signal to the amplifier 60 so that the cigarette pack 80 is opened and a warning sound is generated from the speaker 70.

Next, the microcontroller 20 determines whether the cigarette pack 80 is closed by using a signal input from the cigarette pack opening switch SW4 of the switch input unit 10.

If the pack of cigarettes 80 is not closed, the microcontroller 20 allows to reset the user's name and the reference time interval.

When the pack of cigarettes 80 is closed, the microcontroller 20 repeats the above process by starting counting after resetting the timer.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, by outputting a warning message with a warning sound to be taken out and smoked within the time interval set by the user and subtracting the credit score to induce the user to refrain from smoking psychologically At the same time, it is possible to provide a smoking amount control guide device and a driving method thereof having an effect of generating a new demand by inducing a consumer's purchase desire as a gift. This effect of the invention can be used in the field of cigarette packs.
