Aerosol generating device and operating method thereof

An aerosol generating device comprising:

• a main body comprising a controller and a battery;
• and
• a removable heater module removably combined to the main body, comprising a heater and a module identifier, and configured to heat an aerosol generating article,
• wherein the module identifier is an image displayed on an outer surface of the removable heater module, and comprises heater module information about intrinsic properties of the removable heater module,
• the heater module information being readable by scanning, and
• the controller is configured to obtain the heater module information, determine a control condition corresponding to the removable heater module by using the obtained heater module information, and control the aerosol generating device based on the determined control condition.

An operating method of an aerosol generating device, the operating method comprising:

• obtaining, from a removable heater module removably combined to a main body, heater module information about intrinsic properties of the removable heater module, the heater module information being obtained during a manufacturing process of the removable heater module;
• determining a control condition corresponding to the removable heater module by using the obtained heater module information;
• and
• controlling the aerosol generating device based on the determined control condition.
