Title:
INHALANT COMPONENT GENERATION DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INHALANT COMPONENT GENERATION DEVICE, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/082249
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This inhalant component generation device has: a load for evaporating or atomizing an inhalant component source using electric power fed from a power supply; a notification unit; and a control unit which generates a command for effecting an operation of the load by acquiring a value indicative of a remaining capacity of the power supply and also acquiring an operation request signal to be sent to the load. The control unit is configured to cause the notification unit to give a second notice in the case when the value indicating the remaining capacity of the power supply is less than a first threshold but not less than a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold. The control unit is also configured to cause the notification unit to give a third notice in the case when the value indicating the remaining capacity of the power supply is less than the second threshold. The first threshold can be varied on the basis of an algorithm. The control unit is configured to set the first threshold on the basis of a value derived through a smoothing process in which a primary first threshold derived by an algorithm is approximated to at least one of multiple first thresholds that have been changed previously.
