Abstract
A suction device includes a heating unit that heats a base material and generates an aerosol; a communication unit that receives, through a communication link, information indicating a profile stipulating an operation of the heating unit; and a control unit that controls the operation of the heating unit in accordance with the information indicating the profile. The information indicating the profile includes a combination of information indicating time and information indicating a parameter pertaining to the operation of the heating unit at said time.
Claims13
A device comprising:
- a heating unit that heats a material to generate an aerosol;
- a communication unit that receives information indicating a profile specifying an operation of the heating unit from another device or a terminal device via a communication link;
- and
- a control unit that controls the operation of the heating unit according to the information indicating the profile;
- wherein the information indicating the profile includes parameters related to the operation of the heating unit in each of a plurality of time intervals constituting periods from the start to the end of heating.
A control method comprising:
- a receiving step of receiving, from another device or a terminal device via a communication link, a profile specifying the operation of a heating unit that heats a material to generate an aerosol;
- and
- a control step of controlling the operation of the heating unit according to the received information indicating the profile;
- and
- wherein the profile includes parameters related to the operation of the heating unit in each of a plurality of time intervals constituting periods from the start to the end of heating.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having a program stored therein, the program causing a computer to control an inhaler device that controls the operation of a heating unit that heats a substrate to generate an aerosol, the program causing the computer to execute:
- a receiving step of receiving, from another device or a terminal device via a communication link, a profile specifying the operation of the heating unit;
- and
- a control step of controlling the operation of the heating unit according to the received the profile;
- and
- wherein the profile includes parameters related to the operation of the heating unit in each of a plurality of time intervals constituting periods from the start to the end of heating.
