BACKGROUND

With the rapid advancement of atomization heating technology and technological progress, the adoption of atomization heating devices continues to rise. On one hand, the existing atomization heating devices have a single and simple interaction method, with relatively low levels of engagement and flexibility.

Currently, the atomization heating devices lack sufficiently intelligent recognition of accidental touches.

Therefore, how to conveniently and flexibly enable interactions with atomization heating devices while minimizing accidental touch remains a critical challenge.

When the collision detection sensor 20 detects that a collision occurs between the electronic atomizing devices, the main control board 41 controls the transmission of information interaction between the two electronic atomizing devices and displays the interacted information on the display screen 50. The interacted information includes a user graphical interface. In other words, when the two electronic atomizing devices collide, the user graphical interfaces of the two electronic atomizing devices will be exchanged (i.e., the UI interfaces are interchanged), so as to realize the interaction function, and the users of both sides can directly call over the interacted user graphical interfaces to use and display, which increases the playability and novelty of the product, and thus improves the user experience.

It can be understood that the information interacted with by the two electronic atomizing devices may also include one or any combination of product information, remaining power information, remaining liquid storage information, and usage mode information of the electronic atomizing device, so that the basic information and usage habits of the electronic atomizing device of other user can be further understood, and the fun of social interaction can be enhanced.

The display screen 50 emits a prompt message when the electronic atomizing device meets a preset collision condition, and the prompt message includes a preset luminescent information and/or a preset animation of the display screen 50. The luminescent information may be, but is not limited to, a running light, and the preset animation may be an animation originally stored in the electronic atomizing device or an animation imported by the user. In the embodiment, when the electronic atomizing device satisfies the preset collision conditions, the display screen 50 first appears flashing and animation, and then displays the interacted user graphical interface.

Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the collision detection module further includes a flexible circuit board 60 electrically connected to the main control board 41, and the plurality of collision detection sensors 20 are soldered to the flexible circuit board 60. The flexible circuit board 60 may be one or more than one, depending on how the flexible circuit board 60 is disposed within the housing 10.

The collision detection sensor 20 utilizes a piezoelectric sensor, the piezoelectric sensor is in contact with an inner side wall of the housing 10 or is spaced apart from the inner side wall of the housing 10. When the piezoelectric sensor with high sensitivity is employed, such as a piezoelectric sensor provided with an elastic member and a mass block, which is capable of detecting weak vibrations, the piezoelectric sensor may be disposed so as to be spaced apart from the inner side wall of the housing 10, i.e., the two are in close proximity but not in contact with each other. When the piezoelectric sensor with lower sensitivity is used, the piezoelectric sensor may be disposed be in contact with the inner side wall of the housing 10, so that when a collision occurs between the electronic atomizing devices, the housing 10 undergoes a slight deformation, and the piezoelectric sensor on the corresponding side undergoes a slight deformation, which in turn can generate an inductive signal.

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, the electronic atomizing device further includes a liquid storage cup 31 disposed within the housing 10, the overall contour shape of the liquid storage cup 31 is adapted to the contour shape enclosed by the inner side wall of the corresponding section of the housing 10. A spacing is formed between the outer wall of the liquid storage cup 31 and the inner side wall of the housing 10, and the flexible circuit board 60 is adhered and fixed to the outer wall of the liquid storage cup 31.

Adopting this structure of the flexible circuit board 60 can satisfy both the upper and lower ends of each side wall of the liquid storage cup 31 or the position near the upper and lower ends where one piezoelectric sensor is respectively provided, and also save the wire of the flexible circuit board 60, and one flexible circuit board 60 can satisfy the demand for collision detection, and it is easy to operate the affixing operation on the outer side wall of the liquid storage cup 31 to improve the efficiency of assembly of the components, and thus improve the product making efficiency.

That is, each side wall of the liquid storage cup 31 is disposed with two piezoelectric sensors at the top and bottom correspondingly, and the center lines of the two piezoelectric sensors coincide with the center lines at the top and bottom ends of the corresponding sides of the liquid storage cup 31.

The main control board 41 is provided with a force sensing chip, and the force sensing chip is provided with a first predetermined threshold. The force sensing chip is configured to send a control signal to the wireless communication chip when the impact force obtained by any one of the piezoelectric sensors exceeds the first predetermined threshold, causing the wireless communication chip to perform distance detection. When the force sensing chip detects that the impact force exceeds the first predetermined threshold, and the distance between the two communication chips is less than a second predetermined threshold at this time, the collision that occurs in the electronic atomizing device is a valid collision, and information can be transmitted interactively between the two electronic atomizing devices. By providing the force sensing chip and the wireless communication chip, it is possible to determine whether the collision currently occurring in the electronic atomizing device is a valid collision, and the wireless communication chip may not have to be in a normally open state, which may reduce power loss to a certain extent.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the present application provides a method for controlling an atomization heating device, and the method includes the steps of

In a step S401, determining, in response to a contact event detected in a sensing area, whether the contact event satisfies a first condition; in which the sensing area is located on an outer surface of a liquid storage assembly of the atomization heating device; the sensing area includes at least two sensors; the contact event indicates an event where the atomization heating device comes into contact with an interaction object.

In embodiments of the present application, the sensing area is used to indicate an area in which a contact event such as a device press or collision, an interaction event of device interaction and/or human-computer interaction, and a display event can be detected; the sensing area can be determined based on the number and location of the sensors.

In embodiments of the present application, the sensing area may be all area or a part of the area of an outer surface of the liquid storage assembly. Exemplarily, the outer surface includes four side surfaces and two top surfaces; the atomization heating device is provided with two sensors on each of the side surfaces, which can achieve contact sensing covering each surface, and the sensing area is all of the side area in the outer surface. Alternatively, the atomization heating device is provided with two sensors on only one side surface, and the sensing area is a part of the side area in the outer surface.

In embodiments of the present application, the contact method of the contact event may include, but is not limited to, at least one of sliding, pressing, or collision.

In embodiments of the present application, the sensor may include, but is not limited to, a piezoelectric sensor and a capacitive sensor.

In embodiments of the present application, the piezoelectric sensor is a sensor based on the piezoelectric effect. When the atomization heating device comes into contact with other interaction objects, a slight deformation occurs on the surface of the housing of the atomization heating device, and the deformation signal can be captured by the piezoelectric sensor, allowing the atomization heating device to detect the contact event.

In a step S402, detecting an interaction event in a case where the contact event satisfies the first condition; in which the interaction event indicates an event for selecting an interaction function.

In some embodiments, the sensor is a piezoelectric sensor; the first condition includes at least one of the followings:

• • detecting that a first duration of the contact event is less than a first preset duration;
  • detecting that a pressure value corresponding to the contact event is greater than a preset threshold; and
  • detecting that a signal waveform corresponding to the contact event matches a signal waveform detected by the interaction object for the contact event.

In embodiments of the present application, the first duration indicates a duration for which the atomization heating device is in a contact state with the interaction object.

Exemplarily, the first predetermined time can be 2 seconds, 3 seconds, or 5 seconds, etc.

In some embodiments, the signal waveforms detected by the piezoelectric sensors are typically in the form of pulses, and the signal waveforms detected by the piezoelectric sensors on each of the two atomization heating devices are substantially the same when the two atomization heating devices are in contact with each other.

In some embodiments, the first condition may further include detecting the contact event less than a predetermined number of times. In this way, the atomization heating device can initially screen out the accidental touch condition from multiple dimensions, facilitating subsequent secondary screening judgments.

In embodiments of the present application, the interaction function indication relates to the ability to exchange information, transfer data, and execute commands between a human and a machine, as well as a machine and a machine.

In some embodiments, the interaction function may include, but is not limited to, displaying an interaction object UI (User Interface) interface function, displaying an interaction object state information function, and transferring a file function.

In some embodiments, the interaction object state information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of interaction object power information, interaction object oil level information, interaction object operation mode information, and interaction object health state information.

In a step S403, executing the interaction function of the atomization heating device based on the interaction event in a case where the interaction event satisfies a second condition.

In one embodiment, in response to displaying an operation instruction of the interaction object state information function, the atomization heating device may receive and display the power information, the oil level information, and/or the mode information of the interaction object on the display screen.

In the method for controlling the aforementioned atomization heating device, by setting dual conditions for detecting accidental touches enhances the accuracy and intelligence of accidental touch recognition. Furthermore, the interaction event is detected only when the first condition is satisfied and the corresponding interaction function is executed only when the second condition is satisfied; thus the unnecessary consumption of interaction resources is reduced. Moreover, the interactive functions can be selected, with different functions displaying distinct content. This rich display enhances engagement and flexibility, thereby improving the user experience.

In some embodiments, the sensing area at least includes an inhibition area; the step of detecting the interaction event in the case where the contact event satisfies the first condition includes:

• • detecting the interaction event in the inhibition area; in which the inhibition area is a touch area of the atomization heating device.

In some embodiments, the sensing area includes a normal area and an inhibition area; and the inhibition area is a touch area and the normal area is a non-touch area.

In some embodiments, the sensing area can be categorized into an easy-to-reach area and a difficult-to-reach area based on gripping habits of the user. The atomization heating device may select all or part of the hard-to-reach area as the inhibition area.

In embodiments of the present application, by dividing the sensing area into a normal area and an inhibition area, the inhibition area is a area with relatively high difficulty in touch operation; the possibility of accidental touch of the atomization heating device, for example, the accidental operation of a child with respect to the sensing area of the atomization heating device can be further reduced.

In some embodiments, the sensor in the inhibition area is a capacitive sensor and/or a display screen of the inhibition area is a touch screen; the step of detecting the interaction event in the inhibition area includes:

• • detecting, in response to a distance between a human body and the inhibition area changing from a first distance to a second distance and a capacitance difference value of the inhibition area being non-zero, the interaction event in the inhibition area; in which the capacitance difference value indicates a difference between a second capacitance corresponding to the second distance and a first capacitance corresponding to the first distance.

In embodiments of the present application, the first distance is not equal to the second distance.

In some embodiments, when a human body is close to the touch screen, a coupling capacitance is formed between the human body and the upper transparent electrode of the touch screen because the human body is electrically conductive; the magnitude of the capacitance is determined based on the distance between the human body and the electrode, the area, and the nature of the medium, so that it can be determined whether or not an interaction event has been detected by detecting the difference value of the capacitance, i.e., a shift in capacitance value during the movement.

In an embodiment of the present application, the atomization heating device can detect the interaction event sensitively, intelligently, conveniently, and quickly according to the change of the capacitance, safeguard the response speed of the interaction event, and improve the user experience.

In some embodiments, the method further includes:

• • ignoring the contact event in a case where the contact event does not satisfy the first condition and/or the interaction event does not satisfy the second condition; in which the second condition includes detecting that a difference between a start time of the interaction event and a start time of the contact event is less than a second preset duration.

In some embodiments, at least two atomization heating devices in the same confined space may be in a situation where accidental touch occurs due to lack of space, e.g., where two atomization heating devices are placed in a pocket, where the contact time may be relatively long, and where the first duration of the contact event is greater than the first predetermined time, and where the atomization heating devices can determine that the contact event does not satisfy the first condition; and where the determination that the contact event does not satisfy the first condition it may be initially determined that a accidental touch has occurred, then the contact event may be ignored and a subsequent operation corresponding to the contact event may be determined not to be performed.

In some embodiments, the interaction event not satisfying the second condition may be that the atomization heating device does not detect the interaction event; or, the interaction event not satisfying the second condition may be that the difference between the start time of the detected interaction event and the start time of the contact event is greater than the second predetermined time. For example, after an accidental touch between two atomization heating devices, even though the contact event satisfies the first condition, the atomization heating devices will not detect the interaction event, then the atomization heating device determines that the interaction event does not satisfy the second condition.

In embodiments of the present application, the atomization heating device ignores the contact event when the contact event does not satisfy the first condition and/or the interaction event does not satisfy the second condition, thereby eliminating the need to perform the interaction function at the time of the accidental touch, which can reduce unnecessary waste of interaction resources or display resources.

In some embodiments, the method further includes:

• • displaying, in response to a display event detected in the inhibition area, a target content on a display screen of the atomization heating device according to the display event; and the display event indicates an event for selecting the target content to be displayed.

In some embodiments, a user is free to select the target content desired to be viewed in the inhibition area of the display screen; and the target content may include, but is not limited to, power information, oil level information, mode information, suction information, time information, personalized setting information, and health state information.

In the embodiments of the present application, the atomization heating device can flexibly and freely select the target content to be displayed in the inhibition area of the display screen, which satisfies the need of the user to view the product information in real time, and also further enriches the visualization function of the atomization heating device.

In some embodiments, the target content is health state information, and the method further includes:

• • obtaining a first health parameter and a second health parameter of the atomization heating device; and the first health parameter is determined based on a theoretical life value and a remaining life value of the atomization heating device; the second health parameter is determined based on an operation value and a reference value of the atomization heating device;
  • determining a target health parameter based on the first health parameter and the second health parameter; and
  • determining the health state information of the atomization heating device based on the target health parameter.

In embodiments of the present application, the operation value indicates a current actual operation value of a constituent element in the atomization heating device.

In embodiments of the present application, the reference value indicates a theoretical operation value of a constituent element in the atomization heating device.

In some embodiments, the step of determining the target health parameter based on the first health parameter and the second health parameter, includes:

• • determining a target health parameter, based on a sum, a mean and/or minimum value of the first health parameter and the second health parameter.

It is to be noted that the method of determining the target health parameter is not limited to the above method, but may also be a ratio or the like, which is not limited herein.

In embodiments of the present application, the health state information may include, but is not limited to, health state information for the 1st to the Nth health state. Exemplarily, the first health state information may indicate that the atomization heating device is in a healthy state of normal operation; the second health state information may indicate that the atomization heating device is in a sub-healthy state that requires debugging and maintenance; the third health state information may indicate that the atomization heating device is in an abnormal state of malfunctioning and unable to operate and requires troubleshooting; and so on.

In some embodiments, the method further includes at least one of followings:

• • outputting the health state information;
  • outputting an early warning message corresponding to the health state information in case that the target health parameter is less than a preset value.

Exemplarily, the atomization heating device may output the health state information on a display screen in the form of text, in the form of voice signals, and the like.

In some embodiments, the early warning message may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a text message, a voice letter, a graphical message, and a color message.

In some embodiments, the atomization heating device may determine a health state interval in which the target health parameter is located based on the target health parameter; the different health state intervals are divided by different interval values, and the different health state intervals correspond to different health state information.

Exemplarily, the target health parameter has a value range of 0 to 100, and the value range is divided into four health state intervals. A first interval value may be 25, so that 0˜25 is a first health state interval; a second interval value is 50, so that 25˜50 is a second health state interval; a third interval value is 75, so that 50˜75 is a third health state interval; and a fourth interval value is 100, so that 75˜100 is a fourth health state interval.

In the embodiment of the present application, the atomization heating device determines the target health parameter based on the first health parameter and the second health parameter, and then determines the health state information and outputs the health state information, the practicality of the atomization heating device is increased; the current health state of the atomization heating device can be accurately reflected, and it is convenient for the user to make a timely countermeasure based on the health state information. In the case where the target health parameter is less than a preset value, the output early warning massage reminds the user that the atomization heating device is operating abnormally, the possibility of a safety accident is reduced.

In some embodiments, the first sub-health parameter may be determined based on a theoretical life value and a remaining life value of the constituent elements.

Exemplarily, a way of determining a first sub-health parameter is: T_sub=(L_theoretical−L_remaining)/L_theoretical; wherein T_sub indicates the first sub-health parameter; L_theoretical indicates the theoretical life value of the constituent elements; and L_remaining indicates the remaining life value of the constituent elements.

Exemplarily, a way of determining the first health parameter is: T₁=α₁T_sub1+α₂T_sub2+ . . . +α_mT_subm; wherein T₁ indicates the first health parameter; α₁, α₂, α_m, indicates a first weighting parameter for each of the constituent elements; and T_sub1, T_sub2, T_subm indicates a first sub-health parameter for each of the constituent elements.

In some embodiments, the second sub-health parameter can be determined based on an operation value and a reference value of the constituent elements.

In some embodiments, the first weighting parameter and the second weighting parameter may be determined based on factors such as the importance, frequency of use, and so on of the constituent elements of the atomization heating device; alternatively, the first weighting parameter and the second weighting parameter may be determined based on the influence degree of the constituent elements on the atomization heating device. Exemplarily, the constituent elements of the atomization heating device include a heating member and sensors; if the degree of importance of the heating member is higher than the degree of importance of the sensors, the first weighting parameter corresponding to the heating member is higher than the first weighting parameter corresponding to the sensors.

In embodiments of the present application, the first health parameter and the second health parameter can be determined based on the constituent elements of the atomization heating device, comprehensively and integrally considering the factors that have an impact on the health state of the atomization heating device, thereby insuring the accuracy of the health state information.

The first atomization heating device interacts with the second atomization heating device to obtain the health state information of the second atomization heating device; the first atomization heating device then interacts with the third atomization heating device to obtain the health state information of the third atomization heating device, and so on, until the first atomization heating device obtains the health state information of the Mth atomization heating device. The first atomization heating device can aggregate, sort, and/or compare the health state information of the 1st through Mth atomization heating devices, and display the health state information of the 1st through Mth atomization heating devices after the aggregation, sorting, and/or comparison on the display screen.

In one embodiment, in the case where the display screen of the interaction object failures and cannot be displayed normally, the first atomization heating device may interact with the interaction object to obtain the health state information of the interaction object, so as to determine the current health state of the interaction object.

In embodiments of the present application, the atomization heating device can realize interaction with multiple interaction objects, further increasing the interaction scenarios and satisfying the interaction needs under different scenarios.
