Abstract
An aerosol-generating system (50) has an optical sensor (23) disposed on a portion of an exterior surface of the aerosol-generating system. The optical sensor is configured to output sensor data. A controller (29) is operably coupled to the optical sensor. The controller is configured to manipulate one or more operating parameters of an aerosolizer element of the aerosol-generating system based on the optical sensor data.

1-11. (canceled)
An aerosol-generating system comprising:
- an optical sensor disposed on a portion of an exterior surface of the aerosol-generating system, the optical sensor configured to output sensor data;
- a controller operably coupled to the optical sensor, the controller is configured to manipulate one or more operating parameters of an aerosolizer element of the aerosol-generating system based on the optical sensor data,
- wherein the optical sensor is configured to be optically coupled to packaging for aerosol-generating articles and the controller is configured to manipulate one or more operating parameters of an aerosolizer element of the aerosol-generating system based on the color of the packaging that is detected by the optical sensor;
- and
- wherein aerosol-generating system comprises an aerosol-generating device and a charging unit configured to charge and house the aerosol-generating device between uses, and the optical sensor is disposed on the exterior surface of the charging unit.
