Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for controlling an electronic cigarette and an electronic cigarette. The method includes: acquiring a work start signal of the electronic cigarette (S 1 ); acquiring a time interval between starting work this time and stopping work last time (S 2 ); when the time interval is greater than a first preset time interval, controlling the electronic cigarette to work at a first power, and when a duration of the first power is greater than a first preset duration, turning off the electronic cigarette; when the time interval is greater than a second preset time interval but less than or equal to the first preset time interval, controlling the electronic cigarette to work at a second power, and when a duration of the second power is greater than a second preset duration, turning off the electronic cigarette; wherein, the first power is greater than the second power (S 3 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for controlling an electronic cigarette, comprising:
 acquiring a work start signal of the electronic cigarette;   acquiring a time interval between starting work this time and stopping work last time; and   comparing the time interval with a preset time interval, when the time interval is greater than a first preset time interval, controlling the electronic cigarette to work at a first power, and when a duration of the first power is greater than a first preset duration, turning off the electronic cigarette; when the time interval is greater than a second preset time interval but less than or equal to the first preset time interval, controlling the electronic cigarette to work at a second power, and when a duration of the second power is greater than a second preset duration, turning off the electronic cigarette; wherein, the first power is greater than the second power.   
     
     
         2 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the first preset duration is less than the second preset duration. 
     
     
         3 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the second preset time interval is 0 second. 
     
     
         4 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 1 , further comprising: when the time interval is less than or equal to the second preset time interval, controlling the electronic cigarette to work at a third power, and when a duration of the third power is greater than a third preset duration, turning off the electronic cigarette; wherein, the second power is greater than the third power. 
     
     
         5 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 4 , wherein the second preset duration is less than the third preset duration. 
     
     
         6 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein before acquiring a time interval between starting work this time and stopping work last time, the method further comprises:
 acquiring e-liquid remaining amount information;   comparing the e-liquid remaining amount with a preset e-liquid remaining amount, to judge whether the e-liquid remaining amount is less than a first preset remaining amount; and   when the e-liquid remaining amount is less than the first preset remaining amount, controlling the electronic cigarette to keep a turnoff state.   
     
     
         7 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 6 , wherein when the e-liquid remaining amount is greater than or equal to the first preset remaining amount but less than a second preset remaining amount, controlling the electronic cigarette to work at a fourth power; wherein, the fourth power is less than the first power. 
     
     
         8 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 7 , wherein the fourth power is less than the second power. 
     
     
         9 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein before acquiring a time interval between starting work this time and stopping work last time, the method further comprises:
 acquiring environment temperature information; and   adjusting the first preset time interval and the second preset time interval according to the environment temperature.   
     
     
         10 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 9 , wherein the first preset time interval and the second preset time interval are directly proportional to the environment temperature. 
     
     
         11 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 9 , wherein the first power and the second power are inversely proportional to the environment temperature. 
     
     
         12 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the first power or/and the second power is/are a constant power(s). 
     
     
         13 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the first preset time interval is not less than 60 seconds, or/and the second preset time interval is not less than 15 seconds. 
     
     
         14 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the method of acquiring a time interval between starting work this time and stopping work last time comprises: acquiring according to a time interval between starting sending a sensing signal this time and stopping sending a sensing signal last time of an airflow sensor of the electronic cigarette, or acquiring according to a time interval between starting work this time and stopping work last time of an electrical heating element of the electronic cigarette. 
     
     
         15 . An electronic cigarette, comprising:
 at least one processor; and   a memory in communication connection with the at least one processor;   wherein the memory is configured for storing an instruction executable by the at least one processor, and the instruction is executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can execute the control method according to  claim 1 .   
     
     
         16 . (canceled) 
     
     
         17 . (canceled) 
     
     
         18 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 2 , wherein the second preset time interval is 0 second. 
     
     
         19 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 2 , further comprising: when the time interval is less than or equal to the second preset time interval, controlling the electronic cigarette to work at a third power, and when a duration of the third power is greater than a third preset duration, turning off the electronic cigarette; wherein, the second power is greater than the third power. 
     
     
         20 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 2 , wherein before acquiring a time interval between starting work this time and stopping work last time, the method further comprises:
 acquiring e-liquid remaining amount information;   comparing the e-liquid remaining amount with a preset e-liquid remaining amount, to judge whether the e-liquid remaining amount is less than a first preset remaining amount; and   when the e-liquid remaining amount is less than the first preset remaining amount, controlling the electronic cigarette to keep a turnoff state.   
     
     
         21 . The method for controlling the electronic cigarette according to  claim 2 , wherein before acquiring a time interval between starting work this time and stopping work last time, the method further comprises:
