Method and device for processing user input during battery charging

Abstract

To process a user input when an electronic device is being charged, an electronic device receives a user input from a user, determines whether the user input is a heating command to heat an aerosol-generating substrate of a cigarette, when the user input is the heating command, determines whether the electronic device is being charged, when the electronic device is being charged, invalidate the user input, and when the user input is not the heating command, performs an operation corresponding to the user input.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A user input processing method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
 receiving a user input;   determining whether the user input is a heating command to heat an aerosol-generating substrate of a cigarette;   based on the user input being the heating command, determining whether the electronic device is being charged;   invalidating the user input if the electronic device is being charged; and   performing an operation corresponding to the user input when the user input is not the heating command.   
     
     
         2 . The user input processing method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 in a case where the user input is the heating command while the electronic device is being charged, checking remaining power of a battery of the electronic device; and   based on the remaining power of the battery being greater than or equal to a threshold value, stopping charging and performing the heating command corresponding to the user input.   
     
     
         3 . The user input processing method of  claim 1 , wherein the invalidating the user input comprises:
 displaying a guide message indicating that the heating command is unable to be executed during charging.   
     
     
         4 . The user input processing method of  claim 1 , wherein the user input is any one of a button input and a touch input. 
     
     
         5 . The user input processing method of  claim 1 , wherein, if the user input is not the heating command, performing the operation corresponding to the user input through an application installed in the electronic device. 
     
     
         6 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that are executable by a processor to perform the user input processing method of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         7 . An aerosol-generating device that performs a user input processing method, the aerosol-generating device comprising:
 a display configured to receive a user input;   an inserter for receiving a cigarette;   a heater configured to heat an aerosol-generating substrate of the cigarette inserted in the inserter; and   a controller configured to:
 receive a user input through the display; 
 determine whether the user input is a heating command to heat the aerosol-generating substrate of the cigarette; 
 based on the user input being the heating command, determine whether the aerosol-generating device is being charged; 
 invalidate the user input if the aerosol-generating device is being charged; and 
 perform an operation corresponding to the user input if the user input is not the heating command. 
   
     
     
         8 . The aerosol-generating device of  claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
 in a case where the user input is the heating command while the aerosol-generating device is being charged, check remaining power of a battery of the aerosol-generating device; and   based on the remaining power of the battery being greater than or equal to a threshold value, stop charging and perform the heating command corresponding to the user input.   
     
     
         9 . The aerosol-generating device of  claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
 in a case where the user input is the heating command while the aerosol-generating device is being charged, display a guide message indicating that the heating command is unable to be executed during charging.   
     
     
         10 . The aerosol-generating device of  claim 7 , wherein the user input is any one of a button input and a touch input. 
     
     
         11 . The aerosol-generating device of  claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to, if the user input is not the heating command, perform the operation through an application installed in the aerosol-generating device.
