Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a cigarette burning progress displaying method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, the method for displaying the cigarette combustion progress explained in this embodiment is not limited to the following steps:
s201: establishing communication connection with a mobile terminal;
in this embodiment, because traditional HNB electron cigarette and the unable present combustion progress that demonstrates cigarette directly perceived of cigarette itself, this embodiment is with the help of mobile terminal in order to realize the purpose of the present combustion progress that demonstrates cigarette directly perceived. Therefore, an information transmission channel needs to be established between the HNB electronic cigarette and the mobile terminal to realize information interconnection between the HNB electronic cigarette and the mobile terminal. The communication connection can be specifically established between the HNB electronic cigarette and the mobile terminal, the information interaction between the HNB electronic cigarette and the mobile terminal is realized by utilizing a wireless communication mode, and the defects of portability and inconvenient use caused by a wired connection mode are avoided.
Alternatively, the mobile terminal may be a smart terminal device such as a smart wearable device (e.g., a smart bracelet, etc.), a smart phone, a tablet computer, a Personal computer, and a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). Because the user carries with oneself mobile terminal usually, utilize mobile terminal to realize the demonstration of cigarette burning progress, can improve the user of HNB electron cigarette and use the experience under the prerequisite that does not increase user's original use burden.
The communication connection between the HNB e-cigarette and the mobile terminal may be one of communication manners such as a bluetooth communication connection, a WIFI communication connection, and an operator network communication connection (e.g. 2G, 3G, 4G, etc.), and is not limited herein.
S202: heating the cigarettes;
in this embodiment, the user inserts the cigarette into the HNB e-cigarette using the HNB e-cigarette, and then powers on the HNB e-cigarette to heat the cigarette, but the cigarette in the HNB e-cigarette is not combusted.
S203: counting cigarette information of cigarettes;
in this embodiment, after the cigarette starts to be heated, the cigarette information of the cigarette is counted, so as to count the current combustion progress of the cigarette. The cigarette information comprises the burnt time length and the drawn number of the cigarette.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for displaying a combustion progress of cigarettes according to a third embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, the method for displaying the cigarette combustion progress explained in this embodiment is not limited to the following steps:
s301: receiving cigarette information of the cigarettes counted by the electronic cigarette;
in this embodiment, the mobile terminal receives the cigarette information of the counted cigarettes transmitted by the HNB electronic cigarette, and is used to calculate the current combustion progress of the cigarettes in the HNB electronic cigarette. The HNB electronic cigarette periodically transmits cigarette information to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal carries out the work of converting the burnt time length and the drawn port number of the cigarette in the cigarette information into the current burning progress of the cigarette once when receiving the cigarette information, so that the real-time burning progress information of the cigarette can be displayed on the mobile terminal.
S302: converting the burnt time length and the drawn port number in the cigarette information into the current burning progress of the cigarette;
in this embodiment, after receiving the cigarette information of the counted cigarettes transmitted by the HNB electronic cigarette, the mobile terminal needs to calculate the current combustion schedule of the cigarettes in the HNB electronic cigarette, which may specifically be as follows:
the mobile terminal is pre-stored with the information of the total combustible time and the total number of the openings of cigarettes used in the HNB electronic cigarette. The total combustible time and the total number of the extracted openings are used for converting the combusted time and the extracted opening into the current combustion progress of the cigarettes. The total combustible time length is defined as the total heating time length of a cigarette at a certain temperature (the certain temperature is the temperature required by releasing aromatic substances and nicotine in the cigarette) and the total number of mouths which can be drawn is defined as the total number of mouths which can be sucked by a user of a cigarette (the default is that the volume of the aerosol sucked by each mouth of the user is the same).
It should be noted that different types of cigarettes correspond to different total combustible time lengths and total number of cigarettes that can be drawn. The current tobacco specification stipulates information of total combustible time and total number of mouths which can be drawn corresponding to different types of cigarettes. Therefore, the mobile terminal described in this embodiment may pre-store the total combustible time and the total number of cigarettes that can be smoked for a plurality of types of cigarettes, and select the correct total combustible time and the total number of cigarettes that can be smoked according to the type of the cigarette corresponding to the received cigarette information, so as to calculate the current combustion progress of the cigarette.
And the cigarette burning progress described by the burnt time length and the drawn opening number of the cigarette is mutually independent process. That is, the determination of the current combustion progress of the cigarette may depend on any one of the burnt time length and the number of the drawn openings of the cigarette. In practical application, considering the reasonability of the judgment result of the cigarette combustion progress, the burnt time length and the drawn opening number of the cigarette are generally integrated for overall evaluation.
In this embodiment, the step of converting the burnt time length and the drawn number into the current burning progress of the cigarette may specifically include the following steps:
the first step is as follows: respectively determining a first proportion value and a second proportion value;
the first proportion value is the ratio of the difference value of the burnt time length and the total combustible time length of the cigarette to the total combustible time length, and the second proportion value is the ratio of the difference value of the drawn number and the total drawable number of the cigarette to the total drawable number.
The second step is that: comparing the first proportion value with the second proportion value;
the first proportion value and the second proportion value describe the proportion of the current residual combustible part of the cigarette, and the smaller of the first proportion value and the second proportion value has more expressive force and can be used for expressing the current combustion progress of the cigarette. Therefore, the first proportion value and the second proportion value need to be compared to obtain the smaller of the first proportion value and the second proportion value, and the smaller of the first proportion value and the second proportion value is used for representing the current combustion progress of the cigarette.
The third step: obtaining the unused proportion value of the cigarettes;
please refer to fig. 4. And after comparing the first proportion value with the second proportion value, the smaller of the first proportion value and the second proportion value is an unused proportion value 11 of the cigarette, and the unused proportion value is used for representing the current combustion progress of the cigarette and informing the user of the proportion of the part, which is not heated, of the cigarette in the HNB electronic cigarette.
It should be noted that the above process of converting the current combustion schedule of the cigarettes may be understood as follows:
the total combustible time of the cigarettes is X, the burnt time of the cigarettes is X, the total number of the cigarettes which can be drawn is Y, and the number of the cigarettes which can be drawn is Y.
The first ratio a is (1-X/X) 100% and the second ratio B is (1-Y/Y) 100%.
When A is larger than B, the unused proportion value of the cigarette is equal to a second proportion value B; when A < B, the unused proportion value of the cigarette is equal to the first proportion value A.
In other embodiments of the present invention, converting the length of time burned and the number of openings drawn into the current progress of combustion of the tobacco rod may include determining a first proportional value and a second proportional value, respectively. The first proportion value is the ratio of the burnt time length of the cigarette to the total combustible time length, and the second proportion value is the ratio of the drawn number of the cigarette to the total number of the drawn number. The larger one of the first proportion value and the second proportion value is taken as the used proportion value 21 of the cigarette. The used proportion value 21 is used for describing the current combustion progress of the cigarette and informing the user of the proportion of the heated part of the cigarette in the HNB electronic cigarette, as shown in fig. 5.
Further, after the step of taking the larger of the first proportion value and the second proportion value as the used proportion value 31 of the cigarette, the method can further comprise the steps of determining the total usable proportion value (generally 1) of the cigarette, and taking the difference value between the total usable proportion value and the used proportion value 31 as the unused proportion value 32 of the cigarette. Wherein, the used proportion value 31 and the unused proportion value 32 are used together to describe the current burning progress of the cigarette, as shown in figure 6.
It should be noted that, in the process of heating a cigarette by using an HNB electronic cigarette, there may be a case where heating of the cigarette is stopped when the cigarette is not used (heated) completely, and the cigarette is to be used continuously next time. Therefore, the usable total proportion value of the cigarette may be different from 1, and may be less than 1 (i.e. partially used). The burnt time and the drawn number of the cigarette are the same time and the number of the sucked cigarette, which are not related to the number of heating stop times in the middle of the cigarette.
S303: displaying the current burning progress of the cigarettes;
in this embodiment, after the mobile terminal converts the burnt time length and the number of the drawn ports in the cigarette information into the current burning progress of the cigarette, a human-computer interaction window (such as a display screen) on the mobile terminal displays the current burning progress of the cigarette in the HNB electronic cigarette to the user. The mobile terminal can integrate an application program for calculating and displaying the current combustion progress of the cigarette, and the application program uses the internal resources of the mobile terminal for calculating the current combustion progress of the cigarette and displaying the current combustion progress of the cigarette on an application program interface.
