Abstract
A refilling device for an article of an aerosol provision system includes refilling control circuitry. The refilling control circuitry is configured to facilitate the transfer of aerosol-generating material from a reservoir to the article when the article is coupled to the refilling device. The refilling control circuitry causes a value of a counter stored on the reservoir to be updated in response to the transfer of the aerosol-generating material. The value of the counter is indicative of the amount of an aerosol generating material in the reservoir.
Claims20
A refilling device for an article of an aerosol provision system comprising:
- refilling control circuitry configured to:
- facilitate a transfer of aerosol-generating material from a reservoir to the article when the article is coupled to the refilling device;
- and
- cause a value of a counter stored on the reservoir to be updated in response to the transfer of the aerosol generating material, wherein the value of the counter is indicative of an amount of the aerosol generating material in the reservoir.
A method of refilling an article of an aerosol provision system comprising:
- facilitating a transfer of aerosol-generating material from a reservoir to the article when the article is coupled to a refilling device;
- and
- causing a value of a counter stored on the reservoir to be updated in response to the transfer of the aerosol generating material, wherein the value of the is counter indicative of an amount of the aerosol generating material in the reservoir.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method of refilling an article of an aerosol provision system comprising:
- facilitating a transfer of aerosol-generating material from a reservoir to the article when the article is coupled to a refilling device;
- and
- causing a value of a counter stored on the reservoir to be updated in response to the transfer of the aerosol generating material, wherein the value of the counter is indicative of an amount of the aerosol generating material in the reservoir.
A reservoir configured to store aerosol-generating material comprising:
- reservoir control circuitry configured to:
- store a value of a counter indicative of an amount of an aerosol generating material in the reservoir.
