AI Technical Summary
Existing aerosol-generating devices face challenges in precisely detecting user puffs due to limitations in sensor placement and vulnerability to contamination, with conventional methods exhibiting poor puff detection performance.
An aerosol-generating device equipped with a sensor unit containing an inductor disposed in the airflow passage that deforms based on airflow, allowing for sensitive puff detection by measuring inductance changes, and a processor to analyze these changes to determine puff occurrence.
The device achieves highly sensitive puff detection with a compact sensor design that can be positioned anywhere along the airflow path, enhancing internal design flexibility and improving detection accuracy.
