Abstract

A feedback portion for a feedback provision system including an aerosol provision system. The feedback portion provides a first feedback and second feedback to a user of the aerosol provision system. The feedback provision system is configured to not allow the first feedback to be selectively prevented from being provided by the feedback portion; and is configured to allow the second feedback to be selectively prevented from being provided by the feedback portion. In this way, feedback relating, for example, to critical operating mechanisms of the aerosol provision system may be displayed in a mandatory manner in order to ensure safe operation of the aerosol provision system. On the other hand, feedback relating, for example, to useful but not critical information may be selectively provided by the feedback portion, such that the user has the option to decide whether this non-mandatory feedback is provided by the feedback portion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A feedback provision system comprising:
 an aerosol provision system for generating an aerosol; and   a feedback portion for providing a first feedback and a second feedback to a user of the aerosol provision system; 
 wherein the feedback provision system is configured for allowing the user of the feedback provision system to toggle between a first mode of operation in which the second feedback is configured to be provided by the feedback portion, and a second mode of operation in which the first feedback is configured to be provided by the feedback portion. 
     
     
         2 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein a type of the first feedback is different from a type of the second feedback. 
     
     
         3 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein a level of the first feedback is different from a level of the second feedback. 
     
     
         4 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 3 , wherein the level of the first feedback is greater than the level of the second feedback. 
     
     
         5 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein the feedback provision system is configured for allowing at least one of the first feedback or the second feedback to be customized. 
     
     
         6 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 3 , wherein the feedback provision system is configured for allowing at least one of the level of the first feedback or the level of the second feedback to be customized. 
     
     
         7 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 2 , wherein the feedback provision system is configured for allowing at least one of the type of the first feedback or the type of the second feedback to be customized. 
     
     
         8 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein a display from the feedback provision system is configured to display a feedback customization interface for allowing at least one of the first feedback or the second feedback to be customized using the feedback customization interface. 
     
     
         9 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 8 , wherein the feedback customization interface comprises an identifier of the aerosol provision system. 
     
     
         10 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 8 , further comprising an electrical device which is operable to wirelessly communicate with the aerosol provision system, wherein the electrical device comprises the display for displaying the feedback customization interface. 
     
     
         11 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , further comprising an electrical device which is operable to wirelessly communicate with the aerosol provision system. 
     
     
         12 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 11 , wherein the electrical device comprises a smartphone. 
     
     
         13 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first feedback comprises haptic feedback. 
     
     
         14 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first feedback comprises acoustic feedback. 
     
     
         15 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first feedback comprises visual feedback. 
     
     
         16 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein the second feedback comprises haptic feedback. 
     
     
         17 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein the second feedback comprises acoustic feedback. 
     
     
         18 . The feedback provision system according to  claim 1 , wherein the second feedback comprises visual feedback. 
     
     
         19 . An aerosol provision system for generating an aerosol, wherein the aerosol provision system comprises:
 a feedback portion for providing a first feedback and a second feedback to a user of the aerosol provision system, 
 wherein the aerosol provision system is configured for allowing the user of the aerosol provision system to toggle between a first mode of operation in which the second feedback is configured to be provided by the feedback portion, and a second mode of operation in which the first feedback is configured to be provided by the feedback portion. 
     
     
         20 . A method of providing feedback in a feedback provision system comprising an aerosol provision system for generating an aerosol, the method comprising:
 providing a feedback portion for providing a first feedback and a second feedback to a user of the aerosol provision system; and   toggling between a first mode of operation in which the second feedback is configured to be provided by the feedback portion, and a second mode of operation in which the first feedback is configured to be provided by the feedback portion.   
     
     
         21 . The method according to  claim 20 , further comprising:
 using a feedback customization interface from the feedback provision system to customize at least one of the first feedback or the second feedback.   
     
     
         22 . The method according to  claim 21 , wherein the feedback provision system further comprises an electrical device which is operable to wirelessly communicate with the aerosol provision system, wherein the electrical device comprises a display for displaying the feedback customization interface, wherein the method further comprises:
 using the feedback customization interface on the display of the electrical device to customize at least one of the first feedback or the second feedback.   
     
     
         23 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein the electrical device comprises a smartphone. 
     
     
         24 . The method according to  claim 22 , further comprising:
