Methods and apparatuses for switching state
First Claim
1. A method for switching an operational state of an air moving device, comprising:
- acquiring a state switching instruction based on an input from a micro-switch of the air moving device;
switching a current state of the air moving device from an in-operation state to an out-of-operation state based on the state switching instruction;
maintaining the air moving device in the out-of-operation state until acquiring a predetermined wakening instruction wherein the predetermined wakening instruction is generated when a match is determined between a user input and pre-stored information, and the out-of-operation state of the air moving device is maintained unless the predetermined wakening instruction is acquired regardless which operating instruction is received, wherein the out-of-operation state is triggered when a fan blade of the air moving device is removed;
acquiring the predetermined wakening instruction; and
switching the air moving device from the out-of-operation state to the in-operation state responsive to the acquired predetermined wakening instruction.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for switching an operation state of a target device such as an air purifier. The method includes acquiring a state switching instruction based on an input from a micro-switch of the air moving device, switching a current state of the target device from an in-operation state to an out-of-operation state based on the state switching instruction, maintaining the target device in the out-of-operation state until acquiring a predetermined wakening instruction, acquiring a predetermined wakening instruction, and switching the air moving device from the out-of-operation state to the in-operation state responsive to the acquired predetermined wakening instruction.

10. A method for switching a state of an air moving device by a control terminal, comprising:
-
generating a state switching instruction upon detecting that a second option in the control terminal is triggered; sending the state switching instruction to the air moving device, a current state of the air moving device being switched from an in-operation state to an out-of-operation state based on the state switching instruction; receiving a state prompt message sent from the air moving device; prompting based on the state prompt message; generating a predetermined wakening instruction upon acquiring unlocking information input by a user or upon detecting that a fourth option in the control terminal of the air moving device is triggered wherein the predetermined wakening instruction is generated when a match is determined between the user input and pre-stored information, and the out-of-operation state of the air moving device is maintained unless the predetermined wakening instruction is acquired regardless which operating instruction is received, wherein the out-of-operation state is triggered when a fan blade of the air moving device is removed; and sending the predetermined wakening instruction to the air moving device, the air moving device switching from the out-of-operation state to the in-operation state based on the predetermined wakening instruction.

11. An apparatus for switching a state of a target device with a fan, comprising:
-
a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to acquire a state switching instruction based on a sensor of the target device, the sensor detecting a component of the air moving device being removed; a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to switch a current state of the target device from an in-operation state to an out-of-operation state based on the state switching instruction; a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to maintain the out-of-operation state until acquiring a predetermined wakening instruction wherein the predetermined wakening instruction is generated when a match is determined between a user input and pre-stored information, and the out-of-operation state of the target device is maintained unless the predetermined wakening instruction is acquired regardless which operating instruction is received, wherein the out-of-operation state is triggered when a fan blade of the air moving device is removed; a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to acquire the predetermined wakening instruction; and a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to switch the target device from the out-of-operation state to the in-operation state responsive to the acquired predetermined wakening instruction. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A control terminal, comprising:
-
a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to generate a state switching instruction upon detecting that a second option in the control terminal is triggered; a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to send the state switching instruction to a target device, a current state of the target device being switched from an in-operation state to an out-of-operation state based on the state switching instruction; a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to receive a state prompt message sent from the target device; a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to prompt based on the state prompt message; a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to generate a predetermined wakening instruction upon acquiring unlocking information input by a user or upon detecting that a fourth option in the control terminal of the target device is triggered wherein the predetermined wakening instruction is generated when a match is determined between the user input and pre-stored information, and the out-of-operation state of the target device is maintained unless the predetermined wakening instruction is acquired regardless which operating instruction is received, wherein the out-of-operation state is triggered when a fan blade of the air moving device is removed; and a module having one or more processors to execute instructions that is configured to send the predetermined wakening instruction to the target device, the target device switching from the out-of-operation state to the in-operation state based on the predetermined wakening instruction.
