Description

電子菸系統動態切換方法Dynamic switching method of electronic cigarette system

本發明係關於一種電子菸系統動態切換方法，特別係關於一種電子菸的USB接口透過USB線與電腦連接後，經由儲存於電子菸內的微控制器(MCU)中判別軟體程式對電子菸的UART功能進行切換的方法。The present invention relates to a dynamic switching method of an electronic cigarette system, and particularly relates to an electronic cigarette's USB interface connected to a computer through a USB cable, and the identification software program of the electronic cigarette through the micro-controller (MCU) stored in the electronic cigarette How to switch the UART function.

電子霧化器(英語：VAPE 或 Electronic cigarette)，俗稱「電子煙」，是一種以可充電鋰聚合物電池供電驅動霧化器，透過加熱油艙中的電子液體(俗稱煙油、電子液體、E-liquid或E-juice；煙油含有丙二醇、植物甘油、食用香精或尼古丁)的裝置。電子煙無需燃燒，只會產生「蒸氣」亦無焦油及一氧化碳，可以減少部分傳統紙菸對身體的影響，使得以電子煙替代紙菸的吸菸人士遠離紙菸中的致癌物。Electronic atomizer (English: VAPE or Electronic cigarette), commonly known as "electronic cigarette", is a rechargeable lithium polymer battery powered atomizer that heats the e-liquid (commonly known as e-liquid, e-liquid, E-liquid or E-juice; e-liquid containing propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, food flavor or nicotine) device. E-cigarettes do not need to be burned, they only produce "vapor" without tar and carbon monoxide, which can reduce the impact of some traditional cigarettes on the body, so that smokers who replace cigarettes with electronic cigarettes stay away from carcinogens in cigarettes.

所知悉地，電子煙如同手機等諸多電子設備一般，使用後需要對如鋰電池或是IMR電池又稱錳酸鋰(LI MN)電池進行充電。As we all know, electronic cigarettes are like many electronic devices such as mobile phones. After use, they need to charge lithium batteries or IMR batteries, also known as lithium manganese oxide (LI MN) batteries.

如圖1所示，該圖為藉由電腦的USB(Universal Serial Bus)接口對電子菸進行充電之方塊示意圖。從電子菸內部到電子菸的 USB 接口，會將電源的部分連接起來，這樣的設計，可以讓電腦透過 USB 供電給電子菸，並且進行充電。As shown in Figure 1, the figure is a block diagram of charging an electronic cigarette through a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface of a computer. From the inside of the electronic cigarette to the USB interface of the electronic cigarette, the power supply is connected. This design allows the computer to supply power to the electronic cigarette through USB and charge it.

如圖2所示，該圖為從電子菸內部將 UART 線路連接到電子菸的 USB 接口進行充電，及電子菸與電腦進行通訊之方塊示意圖。為了讓電子菸能夠使用 USB 供電及充電，同時滿足讓電子菸能與電腦通訊，從電子菸內部到電子菸的 USB 接口，會將電源的部分連接；另一方面，也會從電子菸內部將UART(Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter，通用非同步收發傳輸器，是一種異步收發傳輸器，是電腦硬體的一部分，將數據通過串行通信和並行通信間作傳輸轉換)線路連接到電子菸的 USB接口，以達到讓電腦透過 USB 供電給電子菸進行充電，同時也能讓電子菸與電腦通訊，滿足工廠生產測試、健康管理等應用。然而，當電子菸的 USB 接口連接電腦充電時，作業系統為Windows 下，電腦螢幕會出現裝置無法辨識的訊息。As shown in Figure 2, the figure is a block diagram of connecting the UART line of the electronic cigarette to the USB interface of the electronic cigarette for charging, and the electronic cigarette communicating with the computer. In order to allow e-cigarettes to use USB for power supply and charging, and at the same time to allow e-cigarettes to communicate with the computer, the power supply will be connected from the inside of the e-cigarette to the USB interface of the e-cigarette; on the other hand, it will also be connected from the inside of the e-cigarette. UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, is a kind of asynchronous transceiver, which is a part of computer hardware, which transfers data through serial communication and parallel communication) line is connected to the USB of the electronic cigarette The interface allows the computer to charge the e-cigarette through USB power supply, and also allows the e-cigarette to communicate with the computer to meet the application of factory production testing and health management. However, when the USB port of the e-cigarette is connected to a computer for charging, and the operating system is under Windows, a message that the device cannot recognize will appear on the computer screen.

若電子菸的USB接口具備UART功能，並且已開啟UART功能，當電子菸在與Windows電腦連接時便會在電腦螢幕出現裝置無法辨識的訊息。上述現象的成因在於Windows 電腦的USB接口是USB訊號，電子菸的USB接口若是接受到UART訊號，將會造成Windows電腦端無法辨識而跳出無法辨識訊息。If the USB interface of the electronic cigarette has UART function and the UART function is enabled, when the electronic cigarette is connected to a Windows computer, a message that the device cannot recognize will appear on the computer screen. The cause of the above phenomenon is that the USB interface of the Windows computer is a USB signal. If the USB interface of the electronic cigarette receives a UART signal, the Windows computer will not be able to recognize it and an unrecognizable message will pop up.

因此，在電子菸的USB接口透過 USB 線與Windows電腦連接後，如能提供一種軟體判別流程機制，而能對電子菸的UART功能進行切換的流程應是迫切需要的。Therefore, after the USB interface of the electronic cigarette is connected to the Windows computer through the USB cable, if a software identification process mechanism can be provided, the process that can switch the UART function of the electronic cigarette should be urgently needed.

本發明的目的為：當電子菸的USB接口與Windows電腦透過USB線連接後，因沒有開啟電子菸的UART功能，充電過程中不會出現無法辨識的訊息，若需使用電子菸的UART功能時，能透過本發明的特定操作來開啟電子菸的UART功能，在使用完電子菸的UART功能之後，本發明的目的在於能夠將電子菸的UART功能關閉，下次與 Windows電腦連接時，不會出現無法辨識的訊息。The purpose of the present invention is: when the USB interface of the electronic cigarette is connected to the Windows computer through the USB cable, because the UART function of the electronic cigarette is not turned on, no unrecognizable message will appear during the charging process. If the UART function of the electronic cigarette is required , The UART function of the electronic cigarette can be turned on through the specific operation of the present invention. After the UART function of the electronic cigarette is used, the purpose of the present invention is to be able to turn off the UART function of the electronic cigarette. An unrecognizable message appeared.

圖3為本發明電子菸的USB接口透過 USB 線與電腦之連接電路示意圖。圖4為本發明電子菸系統動態切換方法之流程圖。上述兩張圖說明一電子菸1的USB接口11透過一USB 線2與一電腦3(以Windows 電腦為例，以下簡寫電腦3)連接後，經由儲存於該電子菸1內的一微控制器13(MCU)中一判別軟體程式14對該電子菸1內的一UART12功能進行動態切換方法之流程。Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the circuit connecting the USB interface of the electronic cigarette of the present invention to the computer through the USB cable. Figure 4 is a flow chart of the dynamic switching method of the electronic cigarette system of the present invention. The above two figures illustrate that the USB interface 11 of an electronic cigarette 1 is connected to a computer 3 (using a Windows computer as an example, hereinafter abbreviated as computer 3) through a USB cable 2 and then through a microcontroller stored in the electronic cigarette 1 The process of a method for dynamically switching a UART12 function in the electronic cigarette 1 by a discrimination software program 14 in 13(MCU).

其中，該判別軟體程式14為該電子菸1的系統程式，該電子菸1的硬體結構是MCU 13加上周邊的電路系統，MCU 13指的是微控制器，是把中央處理器、記憶體、定時/計數器、各種輸入輸出介面等都整合在積體電路晶片上的微型電腦。因此，該判別軟體程式14是儲存於該電子菸1內的MCU 13中判別軟體程式。Among them, the discrimination software program 14 is the system program of the electronic cigarette 1, and the hardware structure of the electronic cigarette 1 is the MCU 13 plus the peripheral circuit system. The MCU 13 refers to the microcontroller, which combines the central processing unit and the memory A microcomputer with integrated circuit chip integrated circuit chip, such as body, timer/counter, various input and output interfaces. Therefore, the discrimination software program 14 is a discrimination software program stored in the MCU 13 in the electronic cigarette 1.

請一併參閱圖3及圖4，該電子菸1的該USB接口11透過該USB 線2與該電腦3連接後，經由儲存於該電子菸1內的微控制器13(MCU)中判別軟體程式14，對該電子菸1內的UART12功能進行動態切換方法，包含下列步驟：Please refer to Figures 3 and 4 together. After the USB interface 11 of the electronic cigarette 1 is connected to the computer 3 through the USB cable 2, the software is determined by the microcontroller 13 (MCU) stored in the electronic cigarette 1 Program 14, the method of dynamically switching the UART12 function in the electronic cigarette 1, includes the following steps:

步驟(a)：在一第一預定時間(以6秒為例)內藉由該判別軟體程式14判斷該電子菸1對該USB線2之插拔次數是否達到一預定閥值(插拔次數為3次)，若是，執行步驟(b)。Step (a): In a first predetermined time (take 6 seconds as an example), use the discrimination software program 14 to determine whether the number of plug-ins and pulls of the electronic cigarette 1 to the USB cable 2 has reached a predetermined threshold (the number of plug-ins) 3 times), if yes, go to step (b).

也就是說，步驟(a)目的為：該判別軟體程式14判斷是否有達成要暫時開啟該電子菸1的UART功能的要求。這說明該電子菸1的該USB接口11第一次插入USB線2之後，是否於6秒內拔出再插入再拔出再插入，總共插入三次拔出兩次，若該判別軟體程式14判斷成立，即執行步驟(b)，若不成立，則執行步驟(g)：該電腦3透過該USB 線2對該電子菸1進行充電。In other words, the purpose of step (a) is: the judgment software program 14 judges whether there is a requirement to temporarily enable the UART function of the electronic cigarette 1. This means that after the USB port 11 of the electronic cigarette 1 is plugged into the USB cable 2 for the first time, whether it is unplugged and then plugged in and then unplugged and then plugged in within 6 seconds, a total of three plugs and two plugs, if the judgment software program 14 judges If yes, execute step (b), if not, execute step (g): the computer 3 charges the electronic cigarette 1 through the USB cable 2.

步驟(b)：藉由該判別軟體程式14改變該電子菸1的該MCU 13的UART的一暫存器15的數值以暫時地開啟該電子菸1的該UART功能，並執行步驟(c)。例如:原UART的該暫存器 15的數值為0x00，將UART的該暫存器15的數值改變成 0xFF，如此便會開啟UART功能。Step (b): Use the discrimination software program 14 to change the value of a register 15 of the UART of the MCU 13 of the electronic cigarette 1 to temporarily enable the UART function of the electronic cigarette 1, and execute step (c) . For example: the value of the register 15 of the original UART is 0x00, and the value of the register 15 of the UART is changed to 0xFF, so that the UART function will be enabled.

步驟(c)：藉由該判別軟體程式14判斷是否在一第二預定時間(以5秒為例)內是否接收由該電腦3經過該USB線2發送一啟動UART命令。若是，執行步驟(d)，若不成立，則執行步驟(h)：該判別軟體程式14將該電子菸1的該MCU 13的該UART的該暫存器15改回原先的數值。 例如原UART的該暫存器15的數值為 0xFF，改變該UART的該暫存器15的數值為 0x00，如此便會關閉UART功能。Step (c): Use the discrimination software program 14 to determine whether a start UART command sent by the computer 3 via the USB cable 2 is received within a second predetermined time (take 5 seconds as an example). If yes, execute step (d), if not, execute step (h): the discrimination software program 14 changes the register 15 of the UART of the MCU 13 of the electronic cigarette 1 back to the original value. For example, the value of the register 15 of the original UART is 0xFF. Changing the value of the register 15 of the UART to 0x00 will disable the UART function.

步驟(d)：若於該第二預定時間內該判別軟體程式14收到該啟動UART命令，則該判別軟體程式14正式地開啟該電子菸1的該UART功能。Step (d): If the discrimination software program 14 receives the UART activation command within the second predetermined time, the discrimination software program 14 officially opens the UART function of the electronic cigarette 1.

步驟(e)：藉由該判別軟體程式14接收該UART命令後，則該判別軟體程式14會執行該電子菸1的對應該UART命令功能。其中，該UART命令功能關於工廠生產測試、健康管理之應用。Step (e): After receiving the UART command through the discrimination software program 14, the discrimination software program 14 will execute the function of the electronic cigarette 1 corresponding to the UART command. Among them, the UART command function relates to the application of factory production testing and health management.

步驟(f)：藉由該判別軟體程式14判斷是否接收從該電腦3發出一結束UART命令後，若是，執行步驟(i)該判別軟體程式14關閉該電子菸1的該MCU 13的該UART功能，切換回一般的狀態，否則執行步驟(e)。Step (f): After judging whether to receive an end UART command from the computer 3 by the judgment software program 14, if yes, execute step (i) the judgment software program 14 to close the UART of the MCU 13 of the electronic cigarette 1 Function, switch back to the normal state, otherwise go to step (e).

而當步驟(f)執行完畢後，至步驟(i)進行程式變數的初始化，這是改變UART的該暫存器15前的準備，準備完畢後會自動執行步驟(h)，當步驟(h)執行完畢，便會自動地執行步驟(g)。When step (f) is executed, go to step (i) to initialize the program variables. This is the preparation before changing the register 15 of the UART. After the preparation is completed, step (h) will be executed automatically. When step (h ) After the execution is completed, step (g) will be executed automatically.
