S2: an electronic cigarette receiving the first wireless signal identifies information in the first wireless signal, the electronic cigarette actuates self-locking and/or emits a first prompt message when the smoking-prohibited information is contained by the first wireless signal.

In the present embodiment, the first wireless signal is a signal in which the smoking-prohibited information is loaded and subjected to a special encryption encoding, and a corresponding identification program is defined and stored in advance in the electronic cigarette. When the electronic cigarette actuates self-locking, a controller of the electronic cigarette shields smoking signals from a smoking switch, such as an airflow sensor, the controller no longer controls an atomizer to smoke liquid. The first prompt message may be a light signal emitted from an indicator light provided on the electronic cigarette, a vibration signal from a vibration motor provided in the electronic cigarette, or a voice signal issued by a voice module provided in the electronic cigarette, certainly, it may be a mixture of these kinds of prompt signals as well.

Preferably, a voltage regulating circuit is provided in the first wireless transmitting device, the voltage regulating circuit achieves an effect of controlling a coverage area of the first wireless signal by controlling transmission power of the first wireless transmitting device.

In the step S2, when the electronic cigarette determines that the first wireless signal contains the smoking-prohibited information, the electronic cigarette actuates the self-locking and emits the first prompt message until the first wireless signal is interrupted. When the user leaves the smoking-prohibited area, the electronic cigarette is outside the coverage area of the first wireless signal, thus the first wireless signal received is interrupted, and then the electronic cigarette self-locking is released and the first prompt information is emitted, then the user can smoke normally. Meanwhile, when the first wireless signal received by the electronic cigarette is interrupted, the electronic cigarette is delayed for a first predetermined time and then the second prompt message is issued to inform the user that smoking is allowable. The first predetermined time may be 1 s, 2 s, etc., and the specific value thereof is not limited. The second prompt message may be a light signal emitted from an indicator light provided on the electronic cigarette, a vibration signal from a vibration motor provided in the electronic cigarette, or a voice signal issued by a voice module provided in the electronic cigarette, certainly, it may be a mixture of these kinds of prompt signals as well. The indicator light may be a light-emitting diode.

During the self-locking, the control module shields smoking trigger signals from the smoking switch, such as an airflow sensor, and no longer controls the atomizer to smoke oil. When the first wireless signal received by the wireless receiving module is interrupted, then it means that the user is outside the smoking-prohibited area, thus the control module releases the self-locking and controls the prompting module to issue the second prompting information so that the user can smoke normally. The prompting module may be a display screen, a LED lamp, or a vibration motor.

As shown in FIG. 6, the first wireless transmitting device comprises a control chip SN8P2711B, a first resistor R1, a first diode D1, a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, an antenna, a first transistor Q1, a first inductor L1, an antenna and a crystal oscillator SAW.

The other end of the first inductor L1 is connected to a power supply. The other end of the crystal oscillator SAW and one end of the second capacitor C2 are electrically connected to a tap of the first inductor L1, and the other end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded. The control chip SN8P2711B sends a PWM signal corresponding to the wireless signal through the pin P5.3/PWM1, and the PWM signal is transmitted to the base of the first transistor Q1 through a parallel circuit of the first diode D1 and the first resistor R1, the signal is amplified by the first transistor Q1, filtered by the first capacitor C1, and then transmitted through the antenna in a form of a wireless signal.

It will be appreciated that a coverage range of the first wireless signal may be controlled by controlling transmitting power of the wireless transmit device.

When a wireless signal is received by the receiving antenna of the wireless receiving module, the wireless signal is transmitted to a pin ANT of the chip MICRP002, processed by the chip MICRP002 and then sent to the control chip SN8P2711B, when the control chip SN8P2711B recognizes the smoking-prohibited information in the wireless signal, the electronic cigarette actuates self-locking, the control chip SN8P2711B closes the pin P0.2 to shield the smoking signal generated by the airflow sensor S087, and controls the light-emitting diode LED1 to light to prompt the user until that the wireless signal is interrupted as the user leaves the smoking-prohibited area. When the control chip SN8P2711B identifies that the wireless signal contains the release information, it is indicated that the user is located in the temporary smoking area, then the control chip SN8P2711B is controlled to release the self-locking.
