Aerosol-generating device

Abstract

An aerosol-generating device is provided for heating an aerosol-forming substrate to generate an inhalable aerosol during a usage session, the aerosol-generating device including: control electronics; and an outer lighting area partially or wholly surrounding an inner lighting area, the control electronics being coupled to the outer and the inner lighting areas and configured to: i) selectively activate one of the outer and inner lighting areas to generate a first predetermined light emission conveying first data indicative of a state of the aerosol-generating device, and ii) selectively activate the other of the outer and inner lighting areas to generate a second predetermined light emission conveying second data indicative of a state of the aerosol-generating device, the first data and the second data being different from one another.
