Abstract

In the present disclosure, a supplemental member that can be attached to and detached from an aerosol generation device comprising a control unit, a battery, and a heating unit for heating an aerosol source is provided with a storage unit that stores a control sequence for specifying heating by the heating unit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An additional member attachable to and detachable from an aerosol generating device including a controller, a battery, and a heater that heats an aerosol source, the additional member comprising
 a memory that stores a control sequence defining heating operation with the heater.   
     
     
         2 . The additional member according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a second control sequence different from the control sequence stored in the aerosol generating device is stored in the memory.   
     
     
         3 . The additional member according to  claim 1 , wherein
 when the memory is rewritable, a second control sequence downloaded from an external terminal or the aerosol generating device is written to the memory.   
     
     
         4 . The additional member according to  claim 3 , further comprising
 a communicator that acquires the second control sequence by communicating with the external terminal or the aerosol generating device.   
     
     
         5 . The additional member according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a main body attached covers part of a surface of the aerosol generating device.   
     
     
         6 . The additional member according to  claim 1 , wherein
 attachment of a main body to the aerosol generating device is one of conditions that the aerosol source is allowed to be heated by the heater.   
     
     
         7 . The additional member according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a switch provided in the aerosol generating device is allowed to be operated by a user pushing the switch.   
     
     
         8 . The additional member according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a main body attached to the aerosol generating device provides a unified appearance with a part not covered with the main body in the aerosol generating device in a state where generation of an aerosol is possible.
