[0028] In order to facilitate an understanding of the present application, the present application will now be described more fully with reference to the associated drawings, in which examples of the present application are shown. However, the present application may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the examples set forth herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these examples is to provide a more complete and thorough understanding of the present disclosure.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the present specification is for the purpose of describing specific examples only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application.

[0030] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc., used in this application are used to describe various elements in this specification, but these elements are not limited to these terms. These terms are used to distinguish a first element from other elements.

[0031] Spatially relative terms (e.g., "below...", "below...", "below...", "above...", "above...", etc.) may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature to another element or feature as shown in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if a device in the figures is turned over, elements or features described as "below" or "below" other elements or features would then become "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary terms "below...", "below..." can encompass both an orientation of above and below. Also, the device may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatially relative terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.

[0032] In addition, when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element, or may be connected to the other element via an intermediate element. Furthermore, "connection" in the following examples should be understood as "electrically connected" or "communicatively connected" if there is transmission of electrical signals or data between the connected objects.

[0033] As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "said" are intended to include the plural forms unless the context dictates otherwise. It will be further understood that terms such as "comprising" or "having" specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or groups thereof, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or groups thereof. Additionally, as used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Generally, non-combustion heating appliances are small in size and cannot be equipped with a large-volume display to display the operating parameters of the appliance, making it difficult for users to know the various operating parameters of the appliance while using the non-combustion heating appliance, and making it impossible to create subsequent usage plans.

[0034] Regarding this problem, the present application provides a method for controlling an aerosol generating device as shown in FIG. 1 as an example, and as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the method includes the following steps S20 and S40.

[0035] In step S20, in response to the use operation of the aerosol generating device, a target operation to be matched with the use operation is executed in the aerosol generating device, and the use operation of the aerosol generating device may include a preheating start operation, an aerosol inhalation operation, an inhalation progress check operation, a heating interruption operation, an aerosol generating substrate removal operation, an operation to connect the charging port to an external power source, and an operation to check the battery drive time. The target operation is the user's intention to control the operation state and the intention to check the operation state of the aerosol generating device, which are expressed by the operation performed when the user uses the aerosol generating device. Determining the target operation to be matched based on the use operation can be realized by looking up a mapping table stored in advance. For example, the use operation of the aerosol generating device can be recognized by a sensor mounted on the aerosol generating device, and then the target operation to be matched with the use operation can be determined by looking up the mapping table.

[0036] In step S40, an interactive operation is performed in the aerosol generating device to indicate operating parameters of the aerosol generating device, which are updated information resulting from the execution of a target operating operation. The target operating operation is performed to obtain the operating parameters of the aerosol generating device, and based on the obtained operating parameters, the operating parameters are fed back to the user based on the execution of the interactive operation, so that the user can know the operating parameters of the aerosol generating device.

[0037] In this embodiment, a target operation corresponding to the use operation is determined in response to the use operation of the aerosol generating device, and the aerosol generating device is instructed to execute the target operation. Considering that the user is most interested in the result of the target operation executed in the use operation, the present application determines an interactive operation that can represent the updated operating parameters by table lookup or the like based on the updated operating parameters by the execution of the target operation, and thereby informs the user of the operating parameters of the aerosol generating device, such as the inhalation margin progress, the battery operating time, and whether or not heating is in progress, by executing the interactive operation. Based on this, the user can create a future plan for using the aerosol generating device in advance, for example, if the inhalation margin progress is insufficient, prepare and replace a new aerosol substrate 900, and if the remaining battery power is insufficient, charge it.

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-2 , the aerosol generating device includes an upper cover 100 and a main body 200, the main body 200 has an accommodating cavity for an aerosol-generating substrate, the upper cover 100 has a dust cover 120, when the dust cover 120 is closed, it completely covers the opening of the accommodating cavity, when the dust cover 120 is opened, the accommodating cavity communicates with the outside, and the aerosol-generating substrate is introduced into the accommodating cavity through the opening, the main body 200 further includes an indicator light assembly 230, a vibration module 260, a battery 270 and a control circuit 290, the indicator light assembly 230, the vibration module 260 and the battery 270 are all connected to the control circuit 290, and the operation of using the device includes opening the dust cover 120, In this embodiment, step S20 of executing a target operation of the aerosol generating device in response to a use operation on the aerosol generating device includes: The method includes controlling the aerosol generating device to enter a non-sleep operating mode in response to the opening of the dust cover 120.

[0039] By detecting the opening operation of the dust cover 120, the aerosol generating device is shifted to a non-sleep operation mode, in which the jitter sensor 280 is woken up to obtain jitter data detected by the jitter sensor 280, and the remaining progress of inhalation based on vibration detection and the remaining battery charge in a non-heated state can be confirmed. In the non-sleep operation mode, the use of the heating function of the aerosol generating device is permitted.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 4, step S40 of performing an interactive operation on the aerosol generating device to represent the working parameters of the aerosol generating device further includes at least one of the following steps S41 to S42.

[0041] In step S41, a control circuit controls an indicator light assembly to operate in a first state to indicate that a non-sleep operating mode has been entered and / or the remaining charge of the battery.

[0042] The indicator light assembly 230 may have multiple lamps, for example, one multicolor LED lamp and one light bar, to display multiple states to represent different operating conditions of the aerosol generating device. For example, the first state may be that the white light starts, fades in for 1 second, and then flashes quickly for 2 seconds, and the control circuit 290 controls the LED lamp in the indicator light assembly 230 to emit different color lights based on the remaining battery power detected by the control circuit 290 to indicate the remaining battery power. For example, when the remaining battery power is detected to be 50% to 100%, the control circuit 290 controls the LED lamp to emit white light, indicating that the remaining battery power is sufficient; when the remaining battery power is detected to be 20% to 50%, the control circuit 290 controls the LED lamp to emit yellow-green light; when the remaining battery power is detected to be <20%, the control circuit 290 controls the LED lamp to emit orange light, indicating that the remaining battery power is insufficient and charging is required.

[0043] In step S42, the control circuit controls the vibration module to perform a first vibration action, so as to indicate that the non-sleep working mode has been entered.

[0044] Considering that the aerosol generating device is usually used by holding it in a hand, when the opening operation of the dust cover is detected, the aerosol generating device is controlled to enter a non-sleep working mode and the vibration module is controlled to perform a first vibration operation, so that the aerosol generating device is notified to the user that it has woken up, and the user can perform operations such as heating the aerosol generating substrate and inhaling the aerosol. The vibration module may be a vibration motor connected to a control circuit. The first vibration operation may be a 0.5s micro-vibration. Of course, the times listed in the examples of the present application are only used to help those skilled in the art understand the process of implementing the technical solution, and do not limit the actual scope of protection of the present application.

[0045] After starting the aerosol generating device, the user's usual operations are heating and inhaling the aerosol substrate 900 using the device, so in one embodiment, the main body 200 further includes a heating element 240, and the heating element 240 (as shown in Figs. 1b-1e and 2) is connected to the control circuit 290. In this embodiment, the heating element 240 is columnar or sheet-shaped and is inserted into the inside of the aerosol substrate 900 to heat it. In another embodiment, the heating element 240 may be a hollow tube and surrounds the outside of the aerosol substrate 900 to heat it. The use operation further includes at least one of a pre-heating start operation, an aerosol inhalation operation, an inhalation progress check operation, a heating interruption operation, and an aerosol substrate removal operation, which are performed when the aerosol generating device enters a non-sleep operation mode. Target operation operations corresponding to various use operations are listed in the following embodiments. As shown in Fig. 4, step S40 of performing an interactive operation for representing the operation parameters of the aerosol generating device in the aerosol generating device is: The method includes a step S43 of performing at least one interactive operation with the control circuitry, the indicator light assembly, and / or the vibration module to indicate an operating parameter of the aerosol generating device. At least one of the indicator light assembly 230 and the vibration module 260 can be controlled by the control circuitry 290 to perform at least one interactive operation to indicate an operating parameter of the aerosol generating device.

[0046] In one embodiment, the target operating action to coincide with the pre-heat activation includes controlling the control circuitry 290 to pre-heat the heating element 240. In a non-sleep mode of operation, when a pre-heat activation is detected, the control circuitry 290 controls the heating element 240 to operate for a period of time to pre-heat the aerosol-generating substrate to provide a better draw experience.

[0047] 1a and 2, the main body 200 further includes a function button 250 connected to the control circuit 290, and the pre-heating start-up operation includes pressing and releasing the function button 250 for a first predetermined time. In order to avoid the user waiting too long, the first predetermined time may be a short time, for example, 1.5 seconds.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 5, step S43 of performing at least one interactive operation in the control circuit, the indicator light assembly and / or the vibration module to indicate an operating parameter of the aerosol generating device includes the following steps S431 to S432.

[0049] In step S431, when controlling the heating element to preheat, the control circuit controls the indicator light assembly to operate in a second state to indicate that the heating element is preheating. The second state may be the control circuit controls the indicator light assembly to emit white light and flash.

[0050] In step S432, when controlling the heating element to stop preheating, control the vibration module to perform a second vibration operation to indicate that preheating is completed. The second vibration operation may be to vibrate twice, each time for 0.6 seconds. Specifically, the second vibration operation may be preset.

[0051] Of course, in one embodiment, the bottom of the receiving cavity may be provided with an aerosol substrate insertion detection sensor connected to the control circuit, for example a pressure sensor.

[0052] The method comprises: Detecting an output signal of the aerosol substrate insertion detection sensor in a non-sleep operating mode; The method includes determining that an aerosol substrate has been inserted into the storage cavity based on the output signal of the aerosol substrate insertion detection sensor, and controlling the heating element to preheat when a preheating activation operation is detected by a control circuit.

[0053] In one embodiment, the use operation further includes pressing the function button for a second predetermined time, the second predetermined time being shorter than the first predetermined time, for example, the second predetermined time being 1 second.

[0054] The target activation action corresponding to pressing the function button for the second predetermined time includes continuously monitoring the time the function button is pressed with the control circuitry; In this embodiment, the step S40 of performing an interactive operation on the aerosol generating device to represent the operating parameters of the aerosol generating device includes: If the heating element does not heat, the control circuit may control the vibration module to execute a third vibration operation to indicate that pre-heating is about to be triggered. In order to avoid heating due to a user's mistake, the notification may be presented immediately before the pre-heating function is activated, and if the function button is pressed for a second predetermined time, the function button continues to monitor the time the function button is pressed, and the vibration module controls the vibration module to execute the third vibration operation to notify the user, and if the function button is pressed for the first predetermined time, the pre-heating function is activated. If the user does not need to heat the aerosol substrate, the function button may be released upon receiving the notification. The third vibration operation may be to vibrate for 0.5 seconds to indicate the start of pre-heating to the user. By setting the first predetermined time equal to the sum of the second predetermined time and the duration of the third vibration operation, the user can know that pre-heating will start at the end of the third vibration operation.

[0055] In one embodiment, the target operating action to be timed to an aerosol inhalation action includes controlling the control circuitry to cause the heating element to heat the aerosol-generating substrate. The aerosol inhalation action may be completed upon insertion of the aerosol-generating substrate or pre-heating of the aerosol-generating substrate by insertion. Specifically, in the non-sleep operating mode, upon detecting that pre-heating is completed, the control circuitry controls the heating element to heat the aerosol-generating substrate to continue generating aerosol to be inhaled by the user.

[0056] In one embodiment, the aerosol inhalation action comprises inserting an aerosol-generating substrate, and the target actuation action to align with the aerosol inhalation action comprises controlling a heating element to heat the aerosol-generating substrate with a control circuit and detecting the number of inhalations and / or the residual inhalation time; Step S43 of performing at least one interactive operation with the control circuit, the indicator light assembly, and / or the vibration module to indicate an operating parameter of the aerosol generating device includes: The indicator light assembly is controlled to operate in a third state upon inhalation to indicate that aerosol is being generated so that the user can inhale. For example, the third state may be controlling a white LED lamp in the indicator light assembly to emit light and controlling a light bar in the indicator light assembly to blink.

[0057] When it is detected that the number of inhalations reaches a first predetermined number or the remaining inhalation time reaches a third predetermined time, this indicates that inhalation has ended, and at this time, the control circuit can control the heating element to stop heating in order to avoid the heating element burning out.

[0058] As one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate, the number of inhalations is also referred to in the art as the number of puffs.

[0059] Similarly, to better inform the user that inhalation has ended, when it is detected that the number of inhalations has reached a first predetermined number or the remaining inhalation time has reached a third predetermined time, it can be controlled by the control circuit to turn off the indicator light assembly, indicating that inhalation has ended.

[0060] In the case of inhalation, since the user is interested in the remaining inhalation progress, in one embodiment, the interactive operation further includes controlling the control circuit to operate the indicator light assembly in a fourth state and / or controlling the vibration module to perform a third vibration operation when it is detected that the number of inhalations reaches a second predetermined number or the remaining inhalation time reaches a fourth predetermined time, and the second predetermined number is smaller than the first predetermined number and the fourth predetermined time is smaller than the third predetermined time. The second predetermined number may be set to 2 remaining times, and is determined based on the first predetermined number, for example, if the first predetermined number is 14 times, the second predetermined number may be set to 12 times. The fourth predetermined time may be determined based on the third predetermined time, for example, if the third predetermined time is set to 5 minutes, the fourth predetermined time may be set to a shorter time, 4 minutes and 30 seconds, i.e., if the remaining inhalation time is 30 seconds, a warning is issued.

[0061] The fourth state may be to control the control circuit to blink a white light in the indicator light assembly. The third vibration action may be a single vibration for attention.

[0062] Since an abnormality in the heating element should be noted during the heating process, the interactive operation further includes a step of controlling the control circuit to cause the indicator light assembly to perform a first abnormality notification operation when it is detected that the heating element is generating abnormal heat.

[0063] The first abnormality notification action may be to cause the control circuit to control the red lamp of the indicator light assembly to flash quickly three times.

[0064] In one embodiment, the target actuation action in response to the inhalation progress check operation includes calculating an inhalation margin progress of the aerosol-generating substrate in the control circuit, and when the inhalation progress check operation is detected, calculating the inhalation margin progress, and performing an interactive action based on the calculation result to present the current inhalation margin progress to the user.

[0065] Specifically, the main body further includes a jitter sensor, the jitter sensor is connected to the control circuit, and the inhalation progress confirmation operation includes jittering the aerosol generating device a predetermined number of times; The above method is When the aerosol generating device enters a non-sleep operating mode, the method further includes acquiring jitter data detected by a jitter sensor, and determining whether an inhalation progress confirmation operation is performed based on the jitter data of the jitter sensor; performing at least one interactive operation with the control circuit, the indicator light assembly, and / or the vibration module to indicate an operating parameter of the aerosol generating device; The method includes a step of controlling the vibration module to perform a vibration operation in accordance with the calculated suction margin progress using a control circuit.

[0066] The vibration action to match the suction margin progress may be determined based on the mapping relationship between the suction margin progress and the vibration action in the following table. JPEG2025512080000002.jpg106167

[0067] The smaller the rank, the shorter the suction residual time.

[0068] In the case of inhalation, since the user may have a need to interrupt inhalation, in one embodiment, the target operation action to match the heating interruption operation includes controlling the control circuit to cause the heating element to stop heating, thereby avoiding waste of the aerosol base material 900 and waste of energy of the battery 270 in the main body 200.

[0069] Specifically, the main body 200 further includes a function button 250 connected to the control circuit 290, and the heating interruption operation includes pressing and holding the function button 250 until a fifth predetermined time is reached. The fifth predetermined time may be a time different from the other predetermined times, and may be, for example, 2.5 seconds.

[0070] Step S43 of performing at least one interactive operation to indicate an operating parameter of the aerosol generating device based on the control circuit 290, the indicator light assembly 230 and / or the vibration module 260 to indicate to the user that the heating has been interrupted includes: The method includes controlling the control circuit 290 to turn off the indicator light assemblies 230, and controlling all of the indicator light assemblies 230 to turn off, thereby notifying the user that heating has been interrupted.

[0071] The control circuit 290 controls the vibration module 260 to perform a fourth vibration operation. The fourth vibration operation may be a single vibration. The user can accurately know the current state of the aerosol generating device based on the duration of the vibration operation and the previous operating state of the aerosol generating device.

[0072] In one embodiment, the target operation to be synchronized with the aerosol-generating substrate removal operation includes controlling the control circuit 290 to cause the heating element 240 to stop heating. In order to avoid dry burning, when the control circuit 290 recognizes the aerosol-generating substrate removal operation, the control circuit 290 controls the heating element to stop heating. The target operation to be synchronized with the aerosol-generating substrate removal operation includes controlling the aerosol generating device to enter a sleep mode. In this mode, heating by the heating element 240 is inhibited and operation of the jitter sensor 280 is inhibited. This can be achieved by cutting off the supply of power from the battery 270 to the heating element 240 and the supply of power to the jitter sensor 280.

[0073] In one embodiment, the upper cover 100 and the main body 200 are removably connected, and when extracting the aerosol-generating substrate, it is usually necessary to open the upper cover 100 and extract or remove the aerosol substrate in the receiving cavity, so the operation of removing the aerosol-generating substrate includes separating the upper cover 100 and the main body 200; Performing at least one interactive operation to indicate an operating parameter of the aerosol generating device based on the control circuitry 290, the indicator light assembly 230, and / or the vibration module 260, If it is detected that the heating element 240 has stopped working, the method includes controlling the indicator light assembly 230 to be turned off.

[0074] In one embodiment, the use operation includes a closing operation of the dust cover 120, and the target operating operation corresponding to the closing operation of the dust cover 120 includes controlling the aerosol generating device to enter a sleep operation mode. In the sleep mode, for the purpose of energy saving, at this time, the user does not need to inhale the aerosol and check the remaining battery power and the inhalation progress during the inhalation process, so in one embodiment, the method further includes the control circuit 290 prohibiting the operation of the heating element 240 in the sleep mode.

[0075] For the same reason, in sleep mode, there is no need for the user to inhale aerosol, and checking the remaining battery charge and inhalation progress detected based on the jitter sensor 280 is meaningless, so in one embodiment, the method further includes the control circuit 290 prohibiting operation of the jitter sensor 280 in sleep mode.

[0076] performing an interactive operation on the aerosol generating device after entering the sleep mode to indicate an operating parameter of the aerosol generating device; The step includes controlling the indicator light assembly 230 to be turned off.

[0077] In one embodiment, the main body 200 further includes a charging port 291, which is respectively connected to the control circuit 290 and the battery 270, and is connected to an external power source 400, and the charging port 291 can select a Type-C protocol interface.

[0078] The usage operation includes connecting the charging port 291 to an external power source 400, which includes connecting a power adapter to a USB (registered trademark) data line and inserting the USB data line into the charging port 291 provided at the bottom of the aerosol generating device.

[0079] The target activation operation coinciding with connecting the charging port 291 to the external power source 400 includes controlling the control circuit 290 to cause the external power source 400 to charge the battery 270, and when power-on is detected, the control circuit 290 can control the external power source 400 to charge the battery 270 and execute a charging control operation based on a predetermined power management policy.

[0080] A step S40 of performing an interactive operation on the aerosol generating device to represent operating parameters of the aerosol generating device includes: The method includes controlling the control circuit 290 to operate the indicator light assembly 230 in a fifth state to indicate the remaining charge of the battery 270.

[0081] The fifth state may be that the control circuit 290 controls the LED beads in the light bar in the indicator light assembly 230 to gradually light up from bottom to top (top refers to the side where the opening of the receiving cavity is located) and repeats this effect.

[0082] The fifth state can be determined based on the following table. JPEG2025512080000003.jpg100168

[0083] A higher rank of the remaining battery power indicates that the remaining battery power is greater.

[0084] In one embodiment, the body 200 of the aerosol generating device includes an indicator light assembly 230, a heating element 240, and a control circuit 290, the indicator light assembly 230 and the heating element 240 are all connected to the control circuit 290, the use operation further includes a battery run time check operation that is performed when the heating element 240 is not heating, and the target operation that corresponds to the battery run time check operation is to obtain the remaining charge of the battery; As shown in FIG. 4, the step S40 of performing an interactive operation on the aerosol generating device to represent the working parameters of the aerosol generating device further includes at least one of the following steps S44 to S45.

[0085] In step S44, the control circuit controls the indicator light assembly to operate in a sixth state to indicate the remaining power of the battery, which may be a light bar of the indicator light assembly being lit for 3 seconds to indicate the remaining power of the battery.

[0086] In the sixth state, besides indicating the remaining battery power by turning on the light bar for 3 seconds, the remaining battery power can also be distinguished based on the different colors that the light bar turns on, and the sixth state can be determined by looking up the following table: JPEG2025512080000004.jpg81168

[0087] In step S45, if it is detected that the remaining charge of the battery is less than the minimum charge required to heat one aerosol substrate, the control circuit controls the indicator light assembly to perform a second abnormality notification operation. In a non-heating state, if the remaining charge of the battery is not enough to heat one aerosol substrate, it indicates that a heating abnormality interruption occurs during the user's use, and at this time, the user needs to be prompted to charge the battery, which facilitates subsequent use. The second abnormality notification operation may be to control the control circuit to control the indicator light assembly to be constantly lit and emit a red light.

[0088] In one embodiment, the main body 200 further includes a function button 250 and a jitter sensor 280 connected to the control circuit 290; To check the battery life, The sixth predetermined time may include pressing the function button 250 or jittering the aerosol generating device for a sixth predetermined time period. The sixth predetermined time period may be a period of 0.5 to 1 second.

[0089] The method is: When the aerosol generating device is in a non-sleep operating mode, the method further includes a step of determining whether a battery life check operation is performed based on the jitter data of the jitter sensor 280.

[0090] In the non-sleep mode, the control circuit processes the jitter data of the jitter sensor 280 such as an acceleration sensor, judges whether or not there is a battery drive time check operation, and when it judges that there is a battery drive time check operation based on the jitter data, acquires the remaining battery power, and executes a corresponding interactive operation based on the acquired remaining battery power, thereby presenting the remaining battery power of the aerosol generating device to the user. The interactive operation determination means for the battery drive time check operation in the above embodiment can be referred to.

[0091] In one embodiment, after the step of controlling the aerosol generating device to enter a non-sleep operating mode in response to the opening operation of the dust cover 120, the method further comprises: If no other operation other than the opening operation of the dust cover 120 is detected within a preset waiting time, the aerosol generating device is controlled to enter a sleep operation mode; or The method further includes the step of controlling the aerosol generating device to enter a sleep operation mode in response to the upper cover 100 and the main body 200 being separated.

[0092] Considering energy saving and safety, when the dustproof cover 120 is open and there is no device operation within a preset waiting time (e.g., within 3 minutes), the aerosol generating device is controlled to enter a sleep operating mode, and at this time, the dustproof cover 120 needs to be closed and then opened again to trigger the aerosol generating device to enter a non-sleep operating mode.

[0093] When the dust cover 120 is open, if it is detected that the upper cover 100 and the main body 200 are separated, this indicates that the user intends to withdraw the aerosol base material, and the aerosol generating device is controlled to enter a sleep operating mode, prohibiting the heating element 240 from continuing to heat, and also prohibiting the jitter sensor 280 from operating.

[0094] In the sleep mode, the control circuitry inhibits heating by the heating element 240 and inhibits operation of the jitter sensor 280 to conserve energy. In the sleep mode, only target operation actions and interactive actions that are performed by pressing the function button 250 for a sixth predetermined time can be supported.

[0095] If the temperature of the cell such as the control circuit is too high, it will seriously affect the service life of the device, so in one embodiment, the main body 200 further includes a temperature sensor 292, and the method includes: The method further includes controlling the control circuit 290 to cause the indicator light assembly 230 to perform a third abnormality notification operation when it is determined that the temperature of the main body 200 is higher than a predetermined temperature based on the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor 292. The third abnormality notification operation may be that the control circuit 290 controls the indicator light assembly 230 to emit a red light and flash twice quickly. This is different from the notification when the heating element 240 is abnormal.

[0096] In one embodiment, the use operation further includes a forced sleep operation or a forced wake-up operation; The target operating action corresponding to the forced sleep operation includes controlling the aerosol generating device to enter a sleep operation mode. The forced sleep operation may be pressing a function button four times consecutively when the aerosol generating device is in a non-sleep operation mode.

[0097] A target operating action corresponding to a forced wake-up operation includes controlling the aerosol generating device to transition from a sleep operating mode to a non-sleep operating mode, and detecting in a control circuit the jitter data detected by the jitter sensor 280. The forced wake-up operation may be pressing the function button 250 four times in succession when the aerosol generating device is in the sleep operating mode.

[0098] If a logical contradiction occurs in the target operation determined according to the function use operation, the priority of the execution is as follows: Forced sleep operation and forced wake-up operation>operation to separate the top cover from the main body while the dust cover is open>operation to close the dust cover>operation to not detect any other usage operations other than the opening operation of the dust cover within a preset waiting time while the dust cover is open.
