Abstract
An aerosol provision system having a heating system; a power system for providing power to the heating system; and control circuitry for controlling a heating profile provided by the heating system, the control circuitry including a first sensor for measuring an output of the power system; and a second sensor for measuring an electrical property of the heating system, wherein the control circuitry controls the heating profile provided by the heating system based on measurements from the first sensor and the second sensor, and wherein the first sensor and second sensor are arranged to take measurements during periods of non-smoking.
Claims17
An aerosol provision system comprising:
- a heating system;
- a power system for providing power to the heating system;
- and,
- control circuitry for controlling a heating profile provided by the heating system during periods of smoking, the control circuitry comprising:
- a first sensor, for measuring an output of the power system;
- and,
- a second sensor, for measuring an electrical property of the heating system,
- wherein the control circuitry controls the heating profile provided by the heating system during periods of smoking based on measurements from the first sensor and the second sensor taken during periods of non-smoking.
A method of providing an aerosol in an aerosol provision device, the method comprising:
- providing a heating system;
- providing a power system for providing power to the heating system;
- providing control circuitry for controlling a heating profile provided by the heating system during periods of smoking;
- providing a first heating profile for a first puff;
- measuring at least one of an output of the power system and an electrical property of the heating system after the first puff during periods of non-smoking;
- and,
- providing a second heating profile for a second puff based on the measurements taken during periods of non-smoking.
Control circuitry for an aerosol provision system comprising:
- a first sensor, for measuring an output of a power system of the aerosol provision system;
- and,
- a second sensor, for measuring an electrical property of a heating system of the aerosol provision system,
- wherein the control circuitry controls a heating profile provided by the heating system during periods of smoking based on measurements from the first sensor and the second sensor, and
- wherein the first sensor and second sensor are arranged to take measurements during periods of non-smoking of the aerosol provision system.
Aerosol provision means comprising:
- heating means;
- power means for providing power to the heating means;
- and,
- control means for controlling a heating profile provided by the heating means during periods of smoking, the control means comprising:
- first sensing means, for measuring an output of the power means;
- and,
- second sensing means, for measuring an electrical property of the heating means, wherein the control means controls the heating profile provided by the heating means during periods of smoking based on measurements from the first sensing means and the second sensing means, and
- wherein the first sensing means and second sensing means are arranged to take measurements during periods of non-smoking.
