Abstract
A computer is configured to receive, from a refilling device for an article of an aerosol provision system associated with the computer via a remote data store using a wireless communications protocol, an indication of a number of times the article of the aerosol provision system has been refilled with aerosol generating material. The computer is then configured to provide the indication to a user of the computer.
Claims23
A computer comprising programmable circuitry configured to:
- receive, from a refilling device for an article of an aerosol provision system associated with the computer via a remote data store using a wireless communications protocol, an indication of a number of times the article of the aerosol provision system has been refilled with aerosol generating material;
- and
- provide the indication to a user of the computer;
- receive, from the refilling device via the remote data store using the wireless communications protocol, article data, wherein the article data comprises data indicative of an amount of aerosol-generating material stored in the article;
- and
- provide a notification to the user of the computer based on the data indicative of the amount of the aerosol-generating material stored in the article;
- wherein the notification provides an indication of a number of times the aerosol-generating material is transferred to the article before the article expires.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a refilling device for an article of an aerosol provision system via a remote data store using a wireless communications protocol, an indication of a number of times the article of the aerosol provision system has been refilled with aerosol generating material;
- and
- providing the indication to a user;
- receiving, from the refilling device via the remote data store using the wireless communications protocol, article data, wherein the article data comprises data indicative of an amount of aerosol-generating material stored in the article;
- and
- providing a notification to the user of a computer based on the data indicative of the amount of the aerosol-generating material stored in the article;
- wherein the notification provides an indication of a number of times the aerosol-generating material is transferred to the article before the article expires.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, from a refilling device for an article of an aerosol provision system via a remote data store using a wireless communications protocol, an indication of a number of times the article of the aerosol provision system has been refilled with aerosol generating material;
- and
- providing the indication to a user;
- receiving, from the refilling device via the remote data store using the wireless communications protocol, article data, wherein the article data comprises data indicative of an amount of aerosol-generating material stored in the article;
- and
- providing a notification to the user of a computer based on the data indicative of the amount of the aerosol-generating material stored in the article;
- wherein the notification provides an indication of a number of times the aerosol-generating material is transferred to the article before the article expires.
