Title:

AEROSOL GENERATION DEVICE, AND METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR OPERATING SAME

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/082264

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention provides an aerosol generation device which is capable of performing appropriate control at a time when there is a shortage of aerosol sources. This aerosol generation device 100A is provided with: a power supply 110; a load 132 which generates heat upon receipt of electric power fed from the power supply 110 so as to atomize an aerosol source; a component 112 which is used to acquire a value related to the temperature of the load 132; a circuit 134 which electrically connects the power supply 110 and the load 132; a storage part 116 in which the aerosol source is stored; a retention part 130 which retains the aerosol source supplied from the storage part 116 in such a state as to be ready for heating by the load 132; and a control unit 106 which discriminates, on the basis of a change of the value related to the temperature of the load 132 after the circuit 134 has come to function or while the circuit is functioning, whether the aerosol generation device 100A is in a first state in which there is a shortfall in the aerosol source stored in the storage part 116 or in a second state in which there is a shortfall in the aerosol source retained in the retention part 130 even though the storage part 116 is able to supply the aerosol source, and then executes first control upon detection of the first state, or executes second control different from the first control upon detection of the second state.
