Abstract

In order to output a virtual smoke image, the electronic device receives a connection request from the aerosol generating device while being paired with one or more external controllers, determines a controller type of the aerosol generating device, and if the determined controller type corresponds to the type of a target external controller among the one or more external controllers, interrupts pairing with the target external controller, connects to the aerosol generating device, receives detection information regarding the status of the aerosol generating device, generates a virtual smoke image based on the detection information, and outputs the virtual smoke image via a display of the electronic device.
