Aerosol generation system, control method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

Abstract

This aerosol generation system is provided with a housing unit capable of housing a base material that contains an aerosol source, and a control unit that controls a temperature at which the aerosol source contained in the base material housed in the housing unit is heated. If a first puff in which a user inhales an aerosol generated from the aerosol source is performed, the control unit controls the temperature at which the aerosol source is heated, on the basis of information of a previous second puff.

1 . An aerosol generation system comprising:
 a container capable of accommodating a substrate including an aerosol source; and   a controller that controls temperature with which the aerosol source included in the substrate accommodated in the container is heated,   wherein, when a user performs a first puff for inhaling an aerosol generated from the aerosol source, the controller controls, on a basis of information regarding a previously performed second puff, the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         2 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the controller controls, on a basis of an interval between the first puff and the second puff, the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         3 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein, if the interval is shorter than a certain threshold, the controller increases the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         4 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein, as the interval becomes shorter, the controller more greatly increases the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         5 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the controller controls, on a basis of an amount of inhalation in the second puff, the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         6 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein as the amount of inhalation in the second puff increases, the controller more greatly increases the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         7 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the controller controls, on a basis of information regarding one or more third puffs performed before the second puff, the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         8 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the controller controls, on a basis of control information that defines a target value of the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated, the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated, and   wherein, when the first puff is performed, the controller adjusts the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated to a temperature higher than the target value by a temperature corresponding to the information regarding the second puff.   
     
     
         9 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 8 ,
 wherein the control information includes information for controlling the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated in each of a first period after a start of the heating, in which the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated increases, a second period after the first period, in which the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated decreases, and a third period after the second period, in which the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated increases, and   wherein, when the first puff is performed in the third period, the controller controls, on a basis of the information regarding the second puff, the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         10 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the controller controls, also on a basis of ambient temperature, the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         11 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the controller controls the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated on a basis of at least two of an interval between the first puff and the second puff, an amount of inhalation in the second puff, information regarding one or more third puffs performed before the second puff, and ambient temperature.   
     
     
         12 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an electromagnetic induction source that generates a varying magnetic field and that heats, through induction heating, a susceptor disposed in thermal proximity to the aerosol source,   wherein the controller controls supply of power to the electromagnetic induction source as the control of the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.   
     
     
         13 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 12 ,
 wherein the substrate includes the susceptor.   
     
     
         14 . The aerosol generation system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 the substrate.   
     
     
         15 . A control method for controlling an aerosol generation system including a container capable of accommodating a substrate including an aerosol source, the control method comprising:
 controlling temperature with which the aerosol source included in the substrate accommodated in the container is heated,   wherein the controlling temperature with which the aerosol source is heated includes controlling, when a user performs a first puff for inhaling an aerosol generated from the aerosol source, the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated on a basis of information regarding a previously performed second puff.   
     
     
         16 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having a program stored therein, the program causing a computer that controls an aerosol generation system including a container capable of accommodating a substrate including an aerosol source to function as:
 a controller that controls temperature with which the aerosol source included in the substrate accommodated in the container is heated,   wherein, when a user performs a first puff for inhaling an aerosol generated from the aerosol source, the controller controls, on a basis of information regarding a previously performed second puff, the temperature with which the aerosol source is heated.
