In a specific embodiment, the ratio between the current electric quantity value and the rated electric quantity value can be multiplied by the total number of the indicator lights 220, and the total number of the indicator lights to be displayed can be obtained according to a preset rounding rule. For example, the total number of the indicator lights 220 is 6, and the ratio between the current electric quantity value and the rated electric quantity value is 0.4, 6×0.4=2.4, so the total number of indicator lights to be displayed is 2 according to the preset rounding rule.

That is to say, the control device 400 presets at least one of the display total number, display frequency, display order, display brightness and display color of the indicator light group 220. For example, when the total number of the indicator lights 220 is multiple, detects that the electronic cigarette body 100 is in a shake state, the indicator lights 220 are controlled to light up, show blue color, and flash three times at the frequency of one time per second from small serial number to large serial number in turn.

The preset time period refers to preset unit time. According to demands, the preset time period can be one second, 0.5 second, 2 second, etc. The back and forth motion means that the electronic cigarette body 100 moves from a first point to a second point along a positive direction, and then back to the first point along a negative direction, or the electronic cigarette body 100 moves from the first point to the second point along a negative direction, and then back to the first point along a positive direction. It can be understood that the direction, moving displacement, etc. do not indicate a fixed direction or a fixed value, and a certain error range can be set as required.

S620A, if the electronic cigarette body 100 moving back and forth in the preset time period along any one of the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis and the third coordinate axis, the indicator lights 220 are controlled to display in the preset mode.

For example, suppose that the length extension direction of the electronic cigarette body 100 is Z-axis, the direction perpendicular to the circuit board 160 plane is X-axis, and the direction perpendicular to the X-axis and the Z-axis is Y-axis. The control device 400 obtains that the electronic cigarette body 100 moves back and forth within one second along the X-axis direction, then the control device 400 controls all the indicator lights 220 to display blue, and flash once per second.

According to the method provided in the embodiment, determining whether the electronic cigarette body 100 moves back and forth along the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis and the third coordinate axis in a preset time period according to the moving displacement and moving time interval of the electronic cigarette body 100 along the first coordinate axis, the second coordinate axis and the third coordinate axis, respectively, and further controlling the indicator lights 220 to display.

S6113, obtaining a first moving time interval between moving time of the electronic cigarette body 100 along a first direction of the first coordinate axis and moving time of the electronic cigarette body 100 along a second direction of the first coordinate axis;

S6114, if moving displacement along the first direction of the first coordinate axis, the moving displacement along the second direction of the first coordinate axis and the first moving time interval meet preset condition, it is determined that the electronic cigarette body 100 moves back and forth along the first coordinate axis within the preset time period.

The specific steps of S612 and S613 are similar to those of S6111, S6112 and S6113, and will not be repeated here.

In one embodiment, step S6114 includes:

If the moving displacement along the first direction of the first coordinate axis meets first preset displacement range, the moving displacement along the second direction of the first coordinate axis is greater than the preset multiple of the moving displacement along the first direction of the first coordinate axis, and the first moving time interval is less than or equal to the preset time period, it is determined that the electronic cigarette body 100 moves back and forth.

Give an example of the above-mentioned steps. For example, the first coordinate axis is X-axis, and the first direction of the first coordinate axis is the positive direction of the X-axis. The second direction of the first coordinate axis is the negative direction of the X-axis. The preset time period is one second. Further, suppose that the first preset displacement range is 8 cm-30 cm, and the preset multiple is ½.

The obtained moving displacement of the electronic cigarette body 100 along the positive direction of X-axis is 10 cm, that is, the moving displacement along the first direction of the first coordinate axis is 10 cm.

The obtained moving displacement of the electronic cigarette body 100 along the negative direction of the X axis is 8 cm, that is, the moving displacement along the second direction of the first coordinate axis is 8 cm.

The obtained time interval between the moving time of the electronic cigarette body 100 along the positive direction of the X-axis and the moving time of the electronic cigarette body 100 along the negative direction of the X-axis is 0.8 s.

Then, because the moving displacement along first direction of the first coordinate axis is 10cm meets the first preset displacement range of 8 cm-30 cm, the moving displacement of 8cm along the second direction of the first coordinate axis is greater than the moving displacement (10 cm) along the first direction of the first coordinate axis multiple the preset ½ times. And the time interval between the two movements is 0.8 s, which is less than the preset time period of one second. Therefore, it is determined that the electronic cigarette body 100 moves back and forth in the preset time period along the X-axis.

A similar method can be used to determine whether the electronic cigarette body 100 moves back and forth along the Y-axis and Z-axis in a preset time period.
