Abstract

This application relates to a vaporization device and a method thereof. The method includes detecting a first value associated with a first airflow by a sensor. The method includes determining by a controller whether the first value satisfies a first condition. The method includes determining by the controller whether a first timer exceeds a first threshold. The method further includes controlling, by the controller when the first value satisfies the first condition and the first timer exceeds the first threshold, a power supply component to provide a first power to a heating component in a first time period and provide a second power to the heating component in a second time period.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for operating a vaporization device, comprising:
detecting a first value associated with a first airflow by a sensor;
determining by a controller whether the first value satisfies a first condition;
determining by the controller whether a time of a first timer exceeds a first threshold; and
controlling, by the controller when the first value satisfies the first condition and the time of the first timer exceeds the first threshold, a power supply component to provide a first power to a heating component in a first time period and provide a second power to the heating component in a second time period, wherein
the second power is lower than the first power;
the second time period is after the first time period;
the first time period is continuous with the second time period; and
the first time period and the second time period are both during one inhalation action;
wherein the first timer starts timing from a time point at which the power supply component stops providing power to the heating component.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first condition is that the first value is lower than a first air pressure value.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first condition is that the first value is greater than a first acoustic wave amplitude.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising controlling, by the controller when determining that a time of a second timer exceeds a second threshold, the power supply component to stop providing power to the heating component.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising controlling, by the controller when the first value satisfies the first condition and the time of the first timer does not exceed the first threshold, the power supply component to provide a third power to the heating component.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the third power is lower than the first power, and the third power is different from the second power.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the third power is lower than the first power, and the third power is the same as the second power.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the third power ranges from 6 W to 8 W.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising causing the vaporization device to enter a standby state, when the controller determines that a time of a third timer exceeds a third threshold.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first power ranges from 7.2 W to 9 W.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second power ranges from 6 W to 8 W.

12. A method for operating a vaporization device, comprising:
detecting a first airflow by a sensor;
determining by a controller whether a time of a first timer exceeds a first threshold; and
controlling, by the controller when determining that the first airflow is generated and that the time of the first timer exceeds the first threshold, a power supply component to heat a vaporizable material in a storage compartment with a first power in a first time period, and heat the vaporizable material in the storage compartment with a second power in a second time period, wherein
the second power is lower than the first power;
the first time period and the second time period fall within a time period during which the first airflow is generated; and
the first time period and the second time period are both during one inhalation action;
wherein the first timer starts timing from a time point at which the power supply component stops providing power to the heating component.

13. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising heating the vaporizable material in the storage compartment with a third power when the controller determines that the first airflow is generated and that the time of the first timer does not exceed the first threshold.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the first time period ranges from 0.1 second to 0.6 second.

15. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the second time period ranges from 0.1 second to 3.5 seconds.

16. A vaporization device, comprising:
a controller, a power supply component electrically connected to the controller, and a heating component electrically connected to the power supply component, wherein
the controller, the heating component and the power supply component are configured to implement the method according to claim 1 .
