Electronic aerosol provision system with multiple modes based on sensed events

An aerosol delivery device comprising:

• control means for controlling an operating mode of the device;
• motion sensor means for detecting motion of the device and for outputting corresponding motion detection signals to the control means;
• and
• airflow sensor means for detecting a flow of air in the device and for outputting corresponding airflow detection signals to the control means;
• wherein the control means is configured to determine from the motion detection signals when there is a tapping event corresponding to the device being tapped by a user and to determine from the airflow detection signals when there is an airflow event corresponding a flow of air in the device, and wherein the control means is configured to control the device to switch from a first operating mode to a second operating mode in response to the detection of a predefined sequence of events comprising at least one tapping event and at least one airflow event.

An aerosol delivery device comprising:

• a control element for controlling operation of the device;
• a motion sensor for detecting when a user taps the device and outputting a motion detection signal to the control element in response thereto;
• and
• an airflow sensor for detecting when a user inhales or blows through the device and outputting an airflow detection signal to the control element in response thereto,
• wherein the control element is configured to control an operating characteristic of the device in response to a predefined sequence of detection signals comprising at least one motion detection signal and at least one airflow detection signal being received by the control element.
