Capsule monitoring system for an aerosol-generating device, and method of detecting a baseline resistance of a heater of a capsule for an aerosol-generating device
The capsule monitoring system in aerosol-generating devices addresses the challenge of detecting heater resistance in previously used capsules by using a processor to store baseline resistance and predict expected ranges, improving device performance by accurately identifying and accepting usable capsules.

Abstract
A capsule monitoring system for an aerosol-generating device includes at least one processor and a memory. The memory is coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions. The at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to cause the capsule monitoring system to detect whether a capsule is a warm capsule, the warm capsule being a capsule having attributes associated with a previous use of the capsule, and selectively store a detected resistance of a heater as a baseline resistance for the capsule based on whether the capsule is detected as being the warm capsule.
