Aerosol generating apparatus and method for controlling aerosol generating apparatus

A method for controlling an aerosol generating apparatus, comprising:

• controlling power supply to a load configured to atomize an aerosol source or heat a flavor source when supplied with power from a power source and have an electric resistance value that varies according to a temperature;
• acquiring a measurement value from a sensor that outputs the measurement value corresponding to a current value of a current flowing through the load;
• performing a determination operation for determining that there is an abnormality if the measurement value becomes smaller than a threshold value corresponding to a predetermined current value within a determination period that is included, on a time axis, in a feeding sequence during which power is supplied from the power source to the load;
• and
• adjust a length of the determination period based on the measurement value.

An aerosol generating apparatus comprising:

• a power source;
• a load configured to have an electric resistance value that varies according to a temperature and atomize an aerosol source or heat a flavor source when supplied with power from the power source;
• a sensor configured to output a measurement value corresponding to a current value of a current flowing through the load;
• and
• a processing circuitry configured to
• control a plurality of feeding sequences during which power is supplied from the power source to the load;
• and
• based on the measurement value obtained in a preceding feeding sequence, determine a length of a following feeding sequence that is performed later than the preceding feeding sequence along a time axis.
