Benefits of technology

The invention is a Bluetooth v4.0-based electronic cigarette that allows control from anywhere and at any time. It has a small computer brain (MCU) connected to a Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module can transmit data from the computer brain and also receive data from external devices. This means users can control their electronic cigarettes by monitoring what is shown on their mobile app.

Problems solved by technology

However, there is no software embedded in the atomizer in the electronic cigarette.
Thus, it is impossible of measuring vapor for control purpose.
In short, there is no way of recording vapor concentration and time and date of the electronic cigarette being used in the atomizer.
However, it is complicated and is not easy in use.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a Bluetooth v4.0-based intelligent electronic cigarette in accordance with the invention comprises a casing 1. The casing 1 includes, from front to rear, an atomizer 11, a controller 12, and a battery (e.g., lithium battery) 13.

[0019]A mouthpiece (not shown) is releasably secured to a front end of the atomizer 11. Liquid in a container (not shown) of the electronic casing 1 is supplied to the atomizer 11 through a nickel member (not shown). When the controller 12 is activated by pressing an on / off switch 14, electricity is supplied from the battery 13 to the atomizer 11. An intelligent single chip (i.e., integrated circuit (IC)) of the atomizer 11 is thus activated to power a heating element for vaporizing the liquid. And in turn, the liquid is turned into a vapor which is then inhaled by the user (i.e., simulating tobacco smoking). At the same time, the tobacco smoking simulation data is transmitted to a mobile app as detailed below.

Abstract

A Bluetooth v4.0-based intelligent electronic cigarette is provided with a casing including an atomizer, a controller, and a battery. The controller includes a software and hardware assembly having an MCU, and a Bluetooth-based board having a Bluetooth v4.0 module connected to the MCU, the Bluetooth v4.0 module being capable of transmitting data processed by the MCU, and receiving data and transmitting same to the MCU. The battery is electrically connected to the MCU. The Bluetooth v4.0 module is employed to implement a two-direction communication between the electronic cigarette and a mobile app, thereby enabling a user to control his / her simulated tobacco smoking by monitoring what is shown on the mobile app.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to electronic cigarettes and more particularly to a Bluetooth v4.0-based intelligent electronic cigarette.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Conventionally, an electronic cigarette includes a battery powered atomizer which is the central component thereof. The atomizer includes a heating element for vaporizing liquid, a wicking material for drawing liquid in, and a resistance wire wrapped around the wicking material and electrically connected to the battery. When activated the resistance wire quickly heats up thus turning the liquid into a vapor, which is then inhaled by the user.[0005]In recent years, a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and a pressure adjustment mechanism are provided on some types of electronic cigarette. However, there is no software embedded in the atomizer in the electronic cigarette. Thus, it is impossible of measuring vapor for control purpose. In short, there is no ...
