Abstract
A controller for an aerosol delivery system comprising an aerosol generator configured to generate aerosol from aerosol-generating material, the controller being configured to: for a first time period, supply a first, constant power to an aerosol generator; and after the first time period, repeatedly measure a parameter of the aerosol generator or an aerosol-generating material and, in response, dynamically control a second, variable power supplied to the aerosol generator, dependent on the measured parameter.
Claims23
A controller for an aerosol delivery system comprising an aerosol generator configured to generate aerosol from aerosol-generating material, the controller being configured to:
- a. for a first time period, supply a first, constant power to an aerosol generator;
- and
- b. after the first time period, repeatedly measure a parameter of the aerosol generator or an aerosol-generating material and, in response, dynamically control a second, variable power supplied to the aerosol generator, dependent on the measured parameter.
The controller of claim wherein the second time period is:
- a. a time period until a predetermined supplied power or duty cycle is reached;
- or
- b. a time period until a predetermined supplied power or duty cycle has been supplied for at least a threshold length of time or number of cycles.

A method for controlling an aerosol delivery system, comprising:
- a. for a first time period, supplying a first, constant power to an aerosol generator;
- and
- b. after the first time period, repeatedly measuring a parameter of the aerosol generator or an aerosol-generating material and, in response, dynamically controlling a second, variable power supplied to the aerosol generator, dependent on the measured parameter.
A computer program product or computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a controller, cause the controller to carry out the method of claim 24.
