Abstract
Description
図1(a),(b)は、本実施の形態における吸引装置1の全体斜視図である。図1(a)は、斜め上方からの全体斜視図を示し、図1(b)は、斜め下方からの全体斜視図を示す。図示するように、吸引装置1は、パネル10と、パネル10を着脱可能な本体ハウジング20と、シャッタ50とを備える。パネル10及び本体ハウジング20は別部材で構成される。パネル10は、その表面に透明な素材で構成される表示窓60を備える。本体ハウジング20は、吸引装置1の本体30を収容する。また、本体ハウジング20は、USBタイプCのコネクタ等の外部接続端子70を備える。
図2(a),(b)は、吸引装置1のパネル10及び本体ハウジング20の外観図である。図2(a)はパネル10の内側表面の外観図を示し、図2(b)は本体ハウジング20の外側表面の外観図を示す。パネル10が本体ハウジング20に取り付けられる状態で、パネル10の内側表面と、本体ハウジング20の外側表面とが相互に対向する。
図3は、吸引装置1の構成例を示す模式図である。吸引装置1では、例えば、吸引成分源であるエアロゾル源及び香味源を含む充填物等の香味発生基材を有するスティック型基材100が挿入される。尚、エアロゾル源は液体に限られるものではなく、固体であってもよい。挿入されたスティック型基材100は、その外周から加熱されることによって、香味を含むエアロゾルを生成する。
以上のような吸引装置1において、本実施の形態では、通知部93を、電源部91の充電式バッテリの残量(以下、「バッテリ残量」という)を表示するための複数の表示部により構成する。そして、制御部90は、バッテリ残量が第1の残量より大きい場合に、バッテリ残量の第1の残量より大きい範囲における変化を表すために複数の表示部の全部の表示態様を変化させるように制御する。ここで、第1の残量より大きい範囲における変化は、例えば、満充電から第1の残量までの変化である。この場合、満充電とは、厳密に100%の充電状態だけでなく、充電完了後に吸引装置1をプラグから抜去して使用を開始するまでの間に若干放電された程度の充電状態も含むものとする。その後、制御部90は、バッテリ残量が第1の残量以下になった場合に、複数の表示部の一部の表示態様を第1の表示態様に変化させるように制御する。更にその後、制御部90は、バッテリ残量が第1の残量より小さい第2の残量以下になった場合に、複数の表示部の上記一部の表示態様を第2の表示態様に変化させるように制御する。
制御部90は、バッテリ残量が残り1本分の残量より大きい場合に、バッテリ残量の100%から残り1本分の残量までの変化を表すためにN個のLEDのうちのN個分の表示態様を変化させるように制御する。以下では、N個のLEDとして縦1列に配置された8個のLEDを例にとり、この8個のLEDを上から順にLED#8、LED#7、・・・、LED#1と表記することにする。また、残り1本分の残量としては20%を例にとって説明する。すると、100%から20%までの変化を、8個のLEDで表現することになる。つまり、1個のLEDは10%の変化を表すことになる。尚、制御部90は、残量計ICからバッテリ残量として整数のデータを取得するが、20%に10%の整数倍を加えたバッテリ残量以外のバッテリ残量を取得する場合がある。その場合、制御部90は、取得したバッテリ残量から20%を減じた値を10%で除した値を四捨五入することにより、通常点灯するLEDの数を決定するとよい。
図10-1及び図10-2は、本実施の形態における吸引装置1の制御部90の動作例を示したフローチャートである。尚、以下では、LED#1~#8の一部のLEDを通常点灯又は通常点滅することにのみ言及し、残りのLEDをベースライン点灯することには言及しない。また、ステップアニメーションや輝度アニメーションにも言及しないものとする。
上記では、バッテリ残量に関わらず、LEDの最大輝度は同じとしたが、これには限らない。バッテリ残量に応じて、LEDの最大輝度を変えるようにしてもよい。例えば、バッテリ残量が多い場合には、LEDの輝度も高くなるように制御してよい。
本実施の形態における吸引装置1では、バッテリ残量が残り1本分の残量以下になった場合に、複数の表示部の一部の表示態様を第1の表示態様に変化させ、バッテリ残量が残り0本分の残量以下になった場合に、複数の表示部の上記一部の表示態様を第2の表示態様に変化させるようにした。これにより、本実施の形態では、バッテリ残量が残り1本分の残量以下になった場合であっても、バッテリ残量を分かり易くすることが可能となった。
