In some embodiments, the first terminal of the comparison conversion sub-module 210 may be a power supply pin. The first end of the comparison conversion sub-module 210 can be connected with the first end of the transistor module 120, and the second end of the comparison conversion sub-module 210 can be connected with the first end of the controller 220, so that the comparison conversion sub-module can provide the controller 220 outputs the first digital signal or the second digital signal, so that the controller 220 can determine the verification instruction data sent by the cigarette rod according to the detected first digital signal and/or the second digital signal. The third terminal of the controller 220 can be connected to the control terminal of the transistor module 120, so that the controller 220 can pass the first bit data of the command bit data corresponding to the response verification data generated by the verification command data to the preset bit data through the controller 220. The three terminals output target control signals to the transistor module 120 . Specifically, the comparison and conversion sub-module 210 can preset a voltage threshold as a preset voltage threshold, so as to output the first digital signal to the first terminal of the controller 220 when the voltage signal value of the power supply pin is higher than the preset voltage threshold. signal, and output a second digital signal to the second terminal of the controller 220 when the voltage signal of the power supply pin is higher than a preset voltage threshold. Then the controller 220 can determine the verification instruction data according to the first digital signal and the second digital signal, and can generate response verification data when the verification instruction data conforms to the preset data format, and when the instruction bit data corresponding to the response verification data is the preset When bit data is set, a target control signal is output to the transistor module 120 . Wherein, the target control signal can be used to trigger the transistor module 120 to enter the target state, so as to adjust the voltage of the power supply pin of the chip controller module 110 in the target state, so as to realize sending instruction bit data 0 to the cigarette rod.

In actual processing, after the pod detects that the pod is connected, the pod can supply power to the pod and send verification instruction data to the pod. In some embodiments, different instruction bit data can be generated according to the verification instruction data, and different instruction bit data can correspond to level signals of different voltage values, such as the bit value of the instruction bit data is 0, which corresponds to a voltage of A level signal of 3 volts (Volt, V); and a bit value of the command bit data is 1, which corresponds to a level signal with a voltage of 4 volts, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

The comparison and conversion sub-module 210 in the pod can output a corresponding digital signal based on the voltage value corresponding to the detected level signal, so that the controller can determine the verification instruction data sent by the pod based on the digital signal. In some embodiments, the comparing and converting sub-module 210 may preset a voltage threshold as required as the preset voltage threshold.

In some embodiments, when the preset voltage threshold is 3.5V, when the comparison conversion sub-module 210 detects that the voltage value corresponding to the level signal of the power pin is higher than 3.5V, the comparison conversion sub-module 210 can The first digital signal is output to the first terminal of the controller 220, for example, the first digital signal may be 1, which is not limited in the present disclosure. When the comparison conversion sub-module 210 detects that the voltage value corresponding to the level signal of the power supply pin is lower than 3.5V or equal to 3.5V, the comparison conversion sub-module 210 can output the second digital signal to the second terminal of the controller 220, For example, the second digital signal may be 0. Then the controller 220 may determine the verification instruction data according to the acquired first digital signal and the second digital signal. Then the controller 220 can further determine whether the verification instruction data conforms to the preset data format, and if the controller 220 determines that the data format of the verification instruction data conforms to the preset data format, the controller 220 can generate a corresponding response verification according to the verification instruction data. data, the response verification data can then be sent to the device.

Then the controller 220 may detect whether the instruction bit data corresponding to the generated response verification data is preset bit data. For example, when the preset bit data is 0, if the instruction bit data sent in response to the verification data is 1, it can be determined that the currently sent instruction bit data is non-preset bit data, and the target control signal may not be sent to the transistor module 120, Keep the transistor module 120 in the original working state, such as keeping it in the off state, and not adjust the voltage of the power pin of the chip controller module 110, so that the device can detect the current transmission of the pod based on the original voltage signal of the power pin. The instruction bit data is 1 to achieve the purpose of communication; if the instruction bit data corresponding to the response verification data is 0, it can be determined that the instruction bit data corresponding to the generated response verification data is preset bit data, and the target can be sent to the transistor module 120 control signal, so that the transistor module 120 can enter the target state according to the target control signal, such as entering the conduction state, and then the transistor module 120 can adjust the voltage of the power supply pin of the chip controller module 110 in the target state, such as Reduce the voltage of the power pin of the chip controller module 110, so that the device can detect that the command bit data currently sent by the pod is 0 based on the original voltage signal of the power pin, and realize sending the command bit data 0 to the device.
