Detailed ways

The specific embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in order to make the present invention. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and are not intended to be limiting.

In an embodiment, an electronic cigarette control method is provided. As shown in FIG. 1 , the control method is performed by an electronic cigarette. In an example, the electronic cigarette may be provided with a processor, and the control method may be set by an electronic cigarette. The processor executes, including the following steps:

Step S110, acquiring the collected user fingerprint.

In this embodiment, the control of the electronic cigarette is realized by adopting a fingerprint recognition technology. Different people's skin lines (including fingerprints) are different in patterns, breakpoints, and intersections, presenting uniqueness and lifetime. According to this, by comparing the user fingerprint with the pre-stored fingerprint data, it can be determined according to the comparison result whether the user is a user who saves the fingerprint data in advance, thereby completing the identity authentication of the user. In one embodiment, the collected user fingerprints may be obtained by various possible means, such as by setting a fingerprint collection component in the electronic cigarette to achieve collection of the user's fingerprint. When the user needs to use the electronic cigarette, the fingerprint collection component in the electronic cigarette collects the user fingerprint, sends the collected user fingerprint to the processor in the electronic cigarette, and the processor acquires the user fingerprint collected by the fingerprint collection component.

In step S120, the acquired user fingerprint is matched with the preset fingerprint.

The processor of the electronic cigarette internally stores a preset fingerprint set by the user for unlocking the electronic cigarette. The preset fingerprint may be set by the user when using the electronic cigarette for the first time. During use, the user can also change the preset fingerprint or add a new preset fingerprint after selecting the e-cigarette preset fingerprint setting function.

After the processor acquires the user fingerprint, the obtained user fingerprint is matched with the preset fingerprint, and according to the result of the fingerprint matching, it is determined whether the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, thereby completing the unlocking operation of the electronic cigarette. Specifically, if the fingerprint matching result of the processor is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, the current user who uses the electronic cigarette is consistent with the user who sets the preset fingerprint, and the processor unlocks the electronic cigarette and performs subsequent operations. If the fingerprint matching result of the processor is that the user fingerprint is inconsistent with the preset fingerprint, the current user who uses the electronic cigarette is inconsistent with the user who sets the preset fingerprint. At this time, the electronic cigarette may be operated by a child or other person, and the electronic cigarette cannot The e-cigarette cannot be used by children or others who are currently exposed to e-cigarettes. Therefore, the fingerprint recognition technology can prevent the electronic cigarette from being opened due to misoperation, and prevent the electronic cigarette from being used by others, thereby improving the safety performance of the electronic cigarette.

Further, when the processor determines that the user fingerprint is inconsistent with the preset fingerprint, the process automatically returns to step S110. After the fingerprint collection component re-collects the user fingerprint, the processor re-acquires the user fingerprint collected by the fingerprint collection component, and re-acquires the user fingerprint. Matching with the preset fingerprint until the fingerprint matching result of the processor is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, the electronic cigarette is unlocked.

Step S140: If the matching result is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, the power information corresponding to the user fingerprint is selected according to the preset power selection model.

In this step, if the fingerprint matching result of the processor is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, the current user who uses the electronic cigarette has the same identity as the user who sets the preset fingerprint, and the e-cigarette user identity authentication can be used at this time. e-cigarette. In the embodiment, the electronic cigarette processor internally stores a preset power selection model, wherein the model includes working power information of the electronic cigarette corresponding to different fingerprints, and the user of the electronic cigarette can set and change the fingerprint and power included in the model. Correspondence of information. After the user fingerprint matching is passed, the processor selects the corresponding electronic cigarette working power information according to the preset power selection model and the user fingerprint.

Step S150, driving the electronic cigarette to work according to the selected power information.

In this step, after selecting the corresponding electronic cigarette working power information according to the user fingerprint, the processor drives other components in the electronic cigarette to work according to the power information.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, if the matching result of the processor is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, and before the power information corresponding to the user fingerprint is selected according to the preset power selection model, the control method further includes step S130. Detect the current state of the electronic cigarette.

In this embodiment, when the processor determines that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, the current state of the electronic cigarette needs to be detected, and determining whether to perform power information corresponding to the user fingerprint according to the preset power selection model is determined according to the current state of the electronic cigarette. A step of. The current state of the electronic cigarette is divided into a working state and a standby state. When the electronic cigarette is currently in the working state, the processor may perform the step of selecting the power information corresponding to the user fingerprint according to the preset power selection model and the step of the normal operation of the electronic cigarette; When the smoke is currently in the standby state, even if the processor determines that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, the processor does not perform the above and subsequent steps. When the current state of the electronic cigarette is an active state, the processor performs a step of selecting power information corresponding to the user fingerprint according to the preset power selection model.

In one embodiment, the number of preset fingerprints in step S120 is two or more. When the user fingerprint is consistent with any one of the preset fingerprints, the matching result is determined to be that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint.

Specifically, the user can save a plurality of finger fingerprints (such as any number of finger fingerprints of the user's left and right hands) as the preset fingerprints stored in the electronic cigarette processor. In the process of matching the obtained user fingerprint with the preset fingerprint, the user fingerprint is matched with all the preset fingerprints to determine whether the user fingerprint is the same as any one of all the preset fingerprints, and if so, the processor matches. As a result, the user's fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint. In this embodiment, by pre-storing a plurality of preset fingerprints as the electronic cigarette unlocking fingerprint, when some of the users are inconvenient to unlock the electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette can be unlocked by other fingerprints, thereby enabling the user to unlock the electronic cigarette. More convenient.

In one embodiment, step S130 includes detecting the current state of the electronic cigarette by detecting the type of signal transmitted by the switch control component within the electronic cigarette.

Corresponding to the working state of the electronic cigarette and the standby state, the signal type of the signal sent by the switch control component includes the working signal and the standby signal. The processor detects the current state of the electronic cigarette by detecting the type of signal transmitted by the switch control component that received the electronic cigarette. If the processor detects that the work signal sent by the switch control component is received, it determines that the electronic cigarette is in an active state. If the processor detects that the standby signal sent by the switch control component is received, it determines that the electronic cigarette is in the processor state. After the processor determines that the electronic cigarette is in the working state, step S140 is performed.

Further, the switch control component sends a work signal or a standby signal to the processor according to the control action of the user. When the user detects the operation of adjusting the electronic cigarette to the working state (such as opening the switch control component), the switch control component sends the switch control component to the processor. Work signal; when it is detected that the user adjusts the electronic cigarette to the standby state (such as turning off the switch control component), or when the user does not perform any operation on the electronic cigarette after using the electronic cigarette for a preset period of time, the switch control The component sends a standby signal to the processor.

In this embodiment, after the user fingerprint verification is passed, the user also needs to perform an operation of adjusting the electronic cigarette to the working state. When the electronic cigarette is in the working state, the electronic cigarette performs the subsequent working process, thereby preventing the user from touching the finger. The situation in which the electronic cigarette is accidentally unlocked and operated after the electronic cigarette increases the safety performance of the electronic cigarette.

In an embodiment, in step S140, the step of selecting the power information corresponding to the user fingerprint according to the preset power selection model includes: selecting a correspondence between the fingerprint information and the power information included in the model according to the preset power, and selecting a corresponding fingerprint of the user Power information.

Specifically, the processor selects the power information corresponding to the user fingerprint according to the correspondence between the fingerprint information and the power information included in the preset power selection model. In the embodiment, the electronic cigarette processor internally stores a preset power selection model, and the model includes working power information of the electronic cigarette corresponding to different fingerprints. After the user fingerprint matches, the processor selects the corresponding electronic cigarette working power information according to the user fingerprint.

The following table shows a correspondence between fingerprint information and power information:

When setting the preset power selection model, the user may select any number of the above ten fingerprints and set corresponding power information. In this embodiment, by establishing a preset power selection model, the user can control the power of the electronic cigarette by using different fingerprints to unlock the electronic cigarette, thereby reducing the operation of manually setting the electronic cigarette power, thereby making the process of using the electronic cigarette more convenient.

In one embodiment, during use of the electronic cigarette, the user can also adjust the working power of the electronic cigarette by fingerprinting. After the user uses the electronic cigarette for a period of time, if it is necessary to adjust the working power of the electronic cigarette, after the power adjustment mode is selected, the electronic cigarette can collect the finger fingerprint corresponding to the desired power of the user. In the power adjustment mode, the electronic cigarette automatically adjusts the working power according to the acquired user fingerprint. In this embodiment, the user can adjust the power of the electronic cigarette by using different fingerprints, and the operation of manually adjusting the power of the electronic cigarette is reduced, thereby making the process of using the electronic cigarette more convenient.

In one embodiment, step S150 includes driving the atomizing assembly within the electronic cigarette to operate based on the selected power information.

The atomizing component in the electronic cigarette comprises a heating component (such as an atomizer or a heat generating sheet), and the heating component is heated by the battery to cause the smoke oil in the electronic cigarette to volatilize, forming smoke, thereby allowing the user to smoke. After the user unlocks the electronic cigarette through the fingerprint, the processor drives the atomizing component to work according to the power corresponding to the fingerprint of the user, so that the user can obtain the experience of using the electronic cigarette.

In an embodiment, after step S120, the method further includes the following steps: detecting whether the number of times the user fingerprint is inconsistent with the preset fingerprint reaches a preset number of times, and if so, performing locking processing on the electronic cigarette.

Specifically, the processor locking the electronic cigarette means that the processor adjusts the electronic cigarette to a locked state. At this time, the user cannot perform fingerprint unlocking and using the electronic cigarette, and the electronic cigarette can be released only when a specific unlocking condition is reached. The locked state, and then the fingerprint is unlocked and the electronic cigarette is used. In this embodiment, the electronic cigarette locking processing function is added. After the fingerprint is unlocked repeatedly, the processor performs locking processing on the electronic cigarette. By adding the lock processing function, the fingerprint unlocking function can be temporarily turned off when the user who currently uses the electronic cigarette is not the user corresponding to the preset unlocking fingerprint, thereby further improving the safety performance of the electronic cigarette and reducing the internal necessity of the electronic cigarette. The loss of energy (electricity), thereby extending the use of electronic cigarettes.

Further, the method for performing the locking process on the electronic cigarette includes: when the processor detects that the number of times the user fingerprint is inconsistent with the preset fingerprint reaches a preset number of times, adjusting the electronic cigarette to the locked state, the locking state duration is a preset Duration (eg 10 minutes). When the lock time of the electronic cigarette reaches the preset time, the user can re-encrypt the fingerprint and use the electronic cigarette. In this embodiment, after the electronic cigarette is locked for a preset period of time, the processor automatically releases the locked state of the electronic cigarette, and the convenience of the electronic cigarette can be improved while improving the safety of the electronic cigarette.

In another embodiment, the method for performing the locking process on the electronic cigarette includes: when the processor detects that the number of times the user fingerprint is inconsistent with the preset fingerprint reaches a preset number of times, adjusting the electronic cigarette to the continuous locking state, and outputting the unlocking prompt information. . In this embodiment, the locked state of the electronic cigarette is a continuous locked state, and the processor can unlock the locked state of the electronic cigarette only when the user inputs the correct unlocking information. The unlocking prompt information may be outputted by text output, voice output or other prompting manner, and the unlocking information may be a text password, a fingerprint password different from the preset unlocking fingerprint, or other types of passwords. In this embodiment, there is no time limit for the locked state of the electronic cigarette, and only when the user inputs the correct unlocking information, the locked state of the electronic cigarette can be released, thereby further improving the safety of the electronic cigarette.

In one embodiment, after the user purchases the electronic cigarette, the first time the electronic cigarette is used, the fingerprint input component is first completed by the fingerprint collection component, and the fingerprint entered for the first time is saved as an preset fingerprint in the electronic cigarette processor. Subsequently, the user sets the correspondence between the fingerprint and the power included in the preset power selection model in the processor, for example, setting the first fingerprint entered to correspond to the first working power of the electronic cigarette, and the second fingerprint entered corresponding to the second electronic cigarette. The working power of the file, and so on. The user can also modify or add a preset fingerprint and a corresponding relationship between the preset fingerprint and the power in the preset power selection model during use.

When the user uses the electronic cigarette, the finger is placed at the fingerprint collection component; after the fingerprint collection component acquires the fingerprint of the user, the fingerprint of the user is sent to the processor; after receiving the fingerprint of the user, the processor matches the fingerprint of the user with the preset fingerprint. Working; when the matching result is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, detecting the current state of the electronic cigarette by detecting the type of the signal sent by the switch control component in the electronic cigarette; if the working signal sent by the switch control component is detected, determining the electronic The smoke is currently in a working state, and according to the corresponding relationship between the fingerprint information and the power information included in the model, the power information corresponding to the user fingerprint is selected, and the atomizing component in the electronic cigarette is driven according to the selected power information.

When the user does not use the electronic cigarette, if the fingerprint unlocking process of the electronic cigarette is completed due to an erroneous operation, but the processor does not receive the working signal sent by the switch control component, the processor does not perform the subsequent operation steps, reducing the electronic The safety hazard of smoke, thereby improving the safety performance of electronic cigarettes.

When the child or other person obtains the electronic cigarette, since the fingerprint does not match the preset fingerprint, the fingerprint unlocking process of the electronic cigarette cannot be completed, and thus the electronic cigarette cannot be used. When the number of times the other person unlocks the electronic cigarette fails a predetermined number of times, the electronic cigarette will be locked, thereby further improving the safety performance of the electronic cigarette.

In one embodiment, the collected user fingerprints may be obtained by various possible means, such as by setting a fingerprint collection component in the electronic cigarette to achieve collection of the user's fingerprint. When the user needs to use the electronic cigarette, the fingerprint collection component in the electronic cigarette collects the user fingerprint, sends the collected user fingerprint to the processor 120 in the electronic cigarette, and the processor 120 acquires the user fingerprint collected by the fingerprint collection component.

The processor 120 of the electronic cigarette internally stores a preset fingerprint set by the user for unlocking the electronic cigarette. The preset fingerprint may be set by the user when using the electronic cigarette for the first time. During use, the user can also change the preset fingerprint or add a new preset fingerprint after selecting the e-cigarette preset fingerprint setting function.

After the processor 120 acquires the user fingerprint, the acquired user fingerprint is matched with the preset fingerprint, and according to the result of the fingerprint matching, it is determined whether the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, thereby completing the unlocking operation of the electronic cigarette. Specifically, if the fingerprint matching result of the processor 120 is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, the current user who uses the electronic cigarette is consistent with the user identity of the preset fingerprint, and the processor 120 unlocks the electronic cigarette and performs subsequent operations. . If the fingerprint matching result of the processor 120 is that the user fingerprint is inconsistent with the preset fingerprint, the current user who uses the electronic cigarette is inconsistent with the user who sets the preset fingerprint. At this time, the electronic cigarette may be operated by a child or other person, the electronic cigarette Cannot be unlocked, children or others who are currently exposed to e-cigarettes cannot use the e-cigarette. Therefore, the fingerprint recognition technology can prevent the electronic cigarette from being opened due to misoperation, and prevent the electronic cigarette from being used by others, thereby improving the safety performance of the electronic cigarette.

Further, when the processor 120 determines that the user fingerprint is inconsistent with the preset fingerprint, the process returns to step S110, and after the fingerprint collection component re-collects the user fingerprint, the processor 120 re-acquires the user fingerprint collected by the fingerprint collection component, and re-acquires the fingerprint. The user fingerprint is matched with the preset fingerprint until the fingerprint matching result of the processor 120 is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, and the electronic cigarette is unlocked.

In this step, if the fingerprint matching result of the processor 120 is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, it indicates that the user who currently uses the electronic cigarette has the same identity as the user who sets the preset fingerprint, and at this time, the electronic cigarette user identity authentication passes, Use electronic cigarettes. In the embodiment, the electronic cigarette processor 120 internally stores a preset power selection model, where the model includes working power information of the electronic cigarette corresponding to different fingerprints, and the user of the electronic cigarette can set and change the fingerprint and the fingerprint included in the model. Correspondence of power information. After the user fingerprint matching is passed, the processor 120 selects the corresponding electronic cigarette working power information according to the preset power selection model and the user fingerprint.

In this step, after the processor 120 selects the corresponding electronic cigarette working power information according to the user fingerprint, the processor 120 drives other components in the electronic cigarette to operate according to the power information.

In an embodiment, when the processor 120 executes the computer program, if the matching result of the processor 120 is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, the processor 120 needs to select the power information corresponding to the user fingerprint according to the preset power selection model. Step S130 is executed to detect the current state of the electronic cigarette.

In this embodiment, when the processor 120 determines that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, it is also required to detect the current state of the electronic cigarette, and determine whether to perform the power corresponding to the user fingerprint according to the preset power selection model according to the current state of the electronic cigarette. The steps of the information. The current state of the electronic cigarette is divided into an operating state and a standby state. When the electronic cigarette is currently in the working state, the processor 120 may perform the step of selecting the power information corresponding to the user fingerprint according to the preset power selection model and the step of the normal operation of the electronic cigarette; When the electronic cigarette is currently in the standby state, even if the processor 120 determines that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint, the processor 120 does not perform the above and subsequent steps. When the current state of the electronic cigarette is an active state, the processor 120 performs a step of selecting power information corresponding to the user fingerprint according to the preset power selection model.

In one embodiment, the number of preset fingerprints in step S120 is two or more. When the user fingerprint is consistent with any one of the preset fingerprints, the processor 120 determines that the matching result is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint.

Specifically, the user can save a plurality of finger fingerprints (such as any number of finger fingerprints of the 10 finger fingerprints of the user's left and right hands) as the preset fingerprints stored in the electronic cigarette processor 120. In the process of matching the obtained user fingerprint with the preset fingerprint, determining whether the user fingerprint is the same as any one of all the preset fingerprints by matching the user fingerprint with all the preset fingerprints, and if so, the processor 120 The matching result is that the user fingerprint is consistent with the preset fingerprint. In this embodiment, by pre-storing a plurality of preset fingerprints as the electronic cigarette unlocking fingerprint, when some of the users are inconvenient to unlock the electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette can be unlocked by other fingerprints, thereby enabling the user to unlock the electronic cigarette.

The processor 120 detects the current state of the electronic cigarette by detecting the type of signal transmitted by the switch control component 130 that received the electronic cigarette. If the processor 120 detects that the work signal sent by the switch control component 130 is received, it determines that the electronic cigarette is in an active state. If the processor 120 detects that the standby signal sent by the switch control component 130 is received, it is determined that the electronic cigarette is in the processor 120 state. When the processor 120 determines that the electronic cigarette is in the working state, step S140 is performed.
