[0004] Background

[0005] An aerosol provision system refers to a system that contains aerosol generating materials and generates aerosol fora user to puff by heating (rather than burning) the aerosol generating material. An electronic cigarette is a typical application of an aerosol provision system.

[0006] The core of an aerosol provision system lies in its heating element technology and power control method. Different heating elements possess distinct characteristics, thus requiring corresponding variations in power control methods. Therefore, the control methods for different heating elements and the corresponding power parameters are typically embedded in the controller of the aerosol provision system where the heating element is installed.

[0007] However, as users' preferences for puff characteristics vary significantly, the aerosol provision system offers multiple power adjustment levels to accommodate diverse requirements and enable personalized customization.

[0008] The system typically offers three power adjustment levels, providing limited customization options where users must select the closest match to their requirements. This indicates that existing aerosol provision systems cannot adequately satisfy user requirements with their existing heating power adjustment solutions.

A consumable may also comprise an aerosol generator, such as a heater, that emits heat to cause the aerosolgenerating material to generate aerosol in use. The heater may, for example, comprise combustible material, a material heatable by electrical conduction, or a susceptor.

[0073] A susceptor is a material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field, such as an alternating magnetic field. The susceptor may be an electrically-conductive material, so that penetration thereof with a varying magnetic field causes induction heating of the heating material. The heating material may be magnetic material, so that penetration thereof with a varying magnetic field causes magnetic hysteresis heating of the heating material. The susceptor may be both electrically-conductive and magnetic, so that the susceptor is heatable by both heating mechanisms. The device that is configured to generate the varying magnetic field is referred to as a magnetic field generator, herein.

The aerosol-modifying agent may be provided in an aerosol-modifying agent release component, that is operable to selectively release the aerosol-modifying agent. The aerosol-modifying agent may, for example, be an additive or a sorbent. The aerosol-modifying agent may, for example, comprise one or more of a flavourant, a colourant, water, and a carbon adsorbent. The aerosol-modifying agent may, for example, be a solid, a liquid, or a gel. The aerosol-modifying agent may be in powder, thread or granule form. The aerosol-modifying agent may be free from filtration material.

[0075] An aerosol generator is an apparatus configured to cause aerosol to be generated from the aerosol-generating material. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is a heater configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to heat energy, so as to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol-generating material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from the aerosolgenerating material without heating. For example, the aerosol generator may be configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

[0076] The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery systems (which may also be referred to as vapour delivery systems) such as nebulisers or e-cigarettes. Throughout the following description the term "e-cigarette" or "electronic cigarette" may sometimes be used, but it will be appreciated this term may be used interchangeably with aerosol delivery system I device and electronic aerosol delivery system I device. Furthermore, and as is common in the technical field, the terms "aerosol" and "vapour", and related terms such as "vaporise", "volatilise" and "aerosolise", may generally be used interchangeably.

[0077] Aerosol delivery systems (e-cigarettes) often, though not always, comprise a modular assembly comprising a reusable device part and a replaceable (disposable / consumable) cartridge part. Often, the replaceable cartridge part will comprise the aerosol-generating material and the vaporiser (which may collectively be called a “cartomizer”) and the reusable device part will comprise the power provision (e.g. rechargeable power source) and control circuitry. It will be appreciated these different parts may comprise further elements depending on functionality. For example, the reusable device part will often comprise a user interface for receiving user input and displaying operating status characteristics, and the replaceable cartridge device part in some cases comprises a temperature sensor for helping to control temperature. Cartridges are electrically and mechanically coupled to the control unit for use, for example using a screw thread, bayonet, or magnetic coupling with appropriately arranged electrical contacts. When the aerosol-generating material in a cartridge is exhausted, or the user wishes to switch to a different cartridge having a different aerosol-generating material, the cartridge may be removed from the reusable part and a replacement cartridge attached in its place. Systems and devices conforming to this type of two-part modular configuration may generally be referred to as two-part systems / devices. It is common for electronic cigarettes to have a generally elongate shape. For the sake of providing a concrete example, certain embodiments of the disclosure will be taken to comprise this kind of generally elongate two-part system employing disposable cartridges. However, it will be appreciated that the underlying principles described herein may equally be adopted for different configurations, for example single-part systems or modular systems comprising more than two parts, refillable devices and single-use disposables, as well as other overall shapes, for example based on so-called box-mod high performance devices that typically have a boxier shape. More generally, it will be appreciated certain embodiments of the disclosure are based on aerosol delivery systems which are operationally configured to provide functionality in accordance with the principles described herein and the constructional aspects of systems configured to provide the functionality in accordance with certain embodiments of the disclosure is not of primary significance.

[0078] Embodiment 1

[0079] Embodiment 1 of the present application provides an aerosol provision system. Figure 1 shows the composition diagram of the aerosol provision system. It illustrates the components of the aerosol provision system 100 in a simplified manner, where the components are not drawn to scale and parts irrelevant to understanding the solution of this application are omitted.

[0080] As shown in Figure 1 , the aerosol provision system 100 may comprise a controller 110 and a power supply 120. The controller 110 may be configured to control the power supply 120, thereby controlling system heating. Additionally, the controller 110 may obtain a heating power profile generated based on the correspondence relationship between heating time windows and heating power values, and execute heating control according to said profile. Wherein at least one heating power value may be user-inputted, and at least one heating time window may be obtained by dividing a preset puffing time.

[0081] It can be understood that the controller 110 and the power supply 120 may be configured in various implementations, wherein the controller 110 may be programmable, and the power supply 120 may be any suitable power source, such as a DC voltage source. In one embodiment, the power supply may be a lithium-ion battery. Alternatively, the power supply may be a nickel-metal hydride battery, nickel-cadmium battery, or lithium-based battery such as lithium cobalt, lithium iron phosphate, or lithium polymer battery.

[0082] The aerosol provision system 100 further may comprise a heating element 130. The heating element may be in the form of a cigarette rod, or may be integrated into a cartridge as a heating needle, heating coil, or other variants.

[0083] Typically, the controller 110 and the power supply 120 may be reusable components, while the heating element 130 may be replaceable (e.g., by installing new cigarette rods or new cartridges). In alternative embodiments, however, the heating element 130 may be configured as a non-replaceable component. The aerosol provision system may have various structural variations, with Figure 1 illustrating one specific embodiment. In this configuration, the controller 110 and the power supply 120 may be assembled in the aerosol provision device 102, the heating element 130 may be integrated in the cartridge 101 , and the cartridge 101 may be detachably mounted to the aerosol provision device 102.

[0084] Embodiment 2

[0085] Embodiment 2 of the present application provides a heating power profile generating method for an aerosol provision system. The aerosol supply system may specifically be the aerosol provision system described in Embodiment 1. Figure 2 is a flowchart of the heating power profile generating method for an aerosol provision system of the present application. The method may comprise:

[0086] S21. providing a power editing interface.

[0087] The present application allows users to personally configure the heating power profile, addressing the limitation of existing power adjustment operations in prior art. This provides users with a more diversified and refined heating control experience.

[0088] Correspondingly, the present application may provide an application (APP) for generating heating power profiles.

[0089] As an example, the APP of the present application may be implemented on external devices capable of communicating with the aerosol provision system, such as smart terminals (e.g., smartphones, computers) or standalone devices specifically designed for heating power profile editing. By leveraging the enhanced operational capabilities of external devices, the system may present an editing interface to users and obtains at least one heating power value through this editing interface. This approach effectively minimizes operational errors while significantly improving the user editing experience.

[0090] As another example, for aerosol provision systems equipped with displays, the APP may alternatively be implemented directly on the aerosol provision system itself. Correspondingly, users may edit heating power profile directly via the display, eliminating the need for external devices and significantly improving operational convenience.

[0091] The present application may provide multiple methods for generating heating power profiles, with corresponding variations in the power editing interface. For specific implementations, please refer to the detailed descriptions provided in the following sections, which will not be elaborated here.

[0092] S22. obtaining at least one heating power value input by a user in the power editing interface.

[0093] In embodiments of the present application, users may perform personalized and refined settings of heating power according to their usage requirements. For example, for enhanced flavor and greater vapor production, higher power values may be set; for reduced battery drain and e-liquid consumption, lower power values may be selected; for multi-layered flavor profiles, variable power values may be configurable.

[0094] In other words, users may input a heating power value through the editing interface, and the controller will maintain constant power heating control during the preset puffing time. Compared to conventional solutions that adjust power through predefined power adjustment levels, the present application enables more refined and diversified power value control. This facilitates precise adjustment to optimal power values that best suit the heating element's flavor characteristics, thereby better meeting user demands.

[0095] Additionally, users can input multiple heating power values through the editing interface. The controller may perform variable power heating control during the preset puffing time, providing users with a more diversified heating control experience and enabling a richer, multilayered inhalation experience.

[0096] As an example, the range of heating power value may be from 1 W to 50W. For practical application requirements, the heating power value range may be optionally set between 5W and 10W.

[0097] As an example, the preset puffing time may be defined as a single-port puffing time (e.g., 5 sec). Accordingly, when users puff through the aerosol provision system, consistent heating power profiles ensure uniform puffing experiences.

[0098] As another example, the preset puffing time may be defined as multiple-ports puffing time. When users puff through the aerosol provision system, different puffing experiences may be obtained during the multiple-ports puffing time corresponding to the heating power profiles.

[0099] Alternatively, the preset puffing time may also be user-defined, as the present application does not impose specific limitations on the duration of the preset puffing time.

[0100] S23. based on the correspondence relationship between at least one heating time window and at least one heating power value, generating a heating power profile, so as to control heating according to the heating power profile, wherein at least one heating time window may be obtained by dividing a preset puffing time.

[0101] In embodiments of the present application, the preset puffing time may be divided into at least one heating time window, with at least one user-input heating power value corresponding to each heating time window. Thus, a heating power profile may be generated based on this correspondence relationship to accurately meet user requirements.

[0102] As an example, the size of the heating time window may be set through default configurations or customized by users according to personal preferences, as the present application imposes no limitations on the window dimensions. Typically, the minimum duration of the heating time windows may be determined by the information processing capability of the controller. For example, the minimum duration of the heating time window determined by the information processing capability of the controller may be 5ms. In some embodiments, the minimum duration of the heating time window may be optionally determined to be 100ms to meet operational requirements.

[0103] In practical operation, inherent circuit tolerances in aerosol provision systems introduce cumulative circuit errors, resulting in inherent sampling fluctuations. Consequently, the minimum power step size between adjacent heating time windows should exceed this error fluctuation range to ensure meaningful control adjustments during operation. Accordingly, the present application may determine the minimum power step size between adjacent heating time windows based on the information processing capability of a controller and the cumulative circuit error of the aerosol provision system. For example, the minimum power step size between adjacent heating time windows may be 0.01W. In this example, for two adjacent heating time windows where the power value changes, the increase / decrease of the corresponding heating power value may be 0.01*N, wherein N>1. In some embodiments, the minimum power step size may be optionally set at 0.1 W to meet operational requirements.

[0104] Embodiment 3

[0105] In embodiments of the present application, the heating power profile may be generated by editing a configuration table, wherein the configuration table may comprise a correspondence relationship between a heating time window and a heating power value. As shown in Figure 3, the heating power profile generating method for an aerosol provision system in this embodiment may comprise:

[0106] S31. providing a power editing interface, wherein the power editing interface may comprise a configuration table representing the correspondence relationship between a heating time window and a heating power value.

[0107] S32. obtaining heating power values for different heating time windows submitted by the user through the configuration table.

[0108] S33. obtaining correspondence relationship between at least one heating time window and at least one heating power value from the configuration table, generating a heating power profile based on the correspondence relationship, and controlling heating according to the heating power profile, wherein at least one heating time window may be obtained by dividing a preset puffing time.

[0109] As shown in Figure 4(a), the embodiment may provide an editable configuration table in multi-row tabular format on the power editing interface. User-edited heating power values for respective heating time windows to generate the corresponding heating power profile shown in Figure 4(b).

[0110] As an example, the system may pre-divided multiple heating time windows through default configurations and populate corresponding time segments for each heating time window in the configuration table. Thus, after editing at least one heating power value in the configuration table, users may obtain the correspondence relationship between heating time windows and heating power values.

[0111] As another example, the heating time windows may be user-divided. For example, after providing users with the preset puffing time, the users may edit the time segments for at least one heating time window and the corresponding heating power values for each heating time window via the configuration table based on their usage requirements.

[0112] Herein, editing the time segments for at least one heating time window via the configuration table may be implemented as: adjusting the durations based on the heating time window division method provided by the configuration table.

[0113] For example, the editing interface may provide duration adjustment buttons, where user clicks will generate adjustment requests; alternatively, when the user clicks the text input fields corresponding to heating time windows in the configuration table may also generate duration adjustment requests.

[0114] Correspondingly, an application may respond to a duration adjustment request by: obtaining an adjusted duration by user input, re-dividing the preset puffing time into a new heating time window based on the adjusted duration, and generating a configuration table comprising the new heating time window.

[0115] In practical operation, users may input corresponding heating power values individually for each heating time window. Alternatively, to simplify user operations, only the heating time windows with power value changes require corresponding power value inputs. In the example shown in Figure 4(a), users may input corresponding heating power values for: 0~500ms, 1001-1500ms, 2001 -2500ms, 3001 -3500ms, 4501 -5000ms. For a blank heating time window without being configured with a heating power value in the configuration table, the application may obtain the heating power value corresponding to the preceding heating time window adjacent to the blank heating time window, and automatically fill the blank heating time window. For example, the heating power value for 501 -1000ms may be automatically filled as 8W.

[0116] Embodiment 4

[0117] In embodiments of the present application, the heating power profile may be generated by editing a configuration table, wherein the configuration table may comprise a correspondence relationship between a heating duration and a heating power value. As shown in Figure 5, the heating power profile generating method for an aerosol provision system in this embodiment may comprise:

[0118] S51. providing a power editing interface, wherein the power editing interface may comprise a configuration table representing the correspondence relationship between a heating duration and a heating power value. S52. obtaining at least one heating power value submitted by the user through the configuration table, along with respective heating durations corresponding to different heating power values; wherein, the sum of each heating duration may be the preset puffing time.

[0119] S53. obtaining at least one heating time window divided from a preset puffing time, establishing a correspondence relationship between at least one heating time window and at least one heating power value based on the temporal relationship between the heating durations and at least one heating time window, generating a heating power profile based on the established correspondence relationship, and controlling heating according to the heating power profile.

[0120] As shown in Figure 6(a), the embodiment may provide an editable configuration table in multi-row tabular format on the power editing interface. User-edited at least one heating power value and corresponding duration for each heating power value to generate the corresponding heating power profile shown in Figure 6(b).

[0121] Typically, to facilitate the correspondence relationship between durations and heating time windows, the sum of all durations (i.e. , the cumulative time shown in Figure 6(a)) may be set equal to the preset puffing time. Optionally, the heating duration may be an integer multiple of the duration corresponding to the heating time window, enabling alignment with complete heating time window(s) and thereby establishing the correspondence relationship between heating time windows and heating power values.

[0122] Naturally, when durations cannot align with complete heating time windows, the system may implement configured power-matching rules to establish the correspondence relationship between heating time windows and heating power values. For example, the matching rules may be: for an incomplete heating time window under Duration 1 , its power value may be set as the heating power value corresponding to Duration 1 ; or the average of the heating power value corresponding to Duration 1 and the heating power value corresponding to Duration 2 adjacent to Duration 1 , enabling smooth power transitions between two adjacent durations.

[0123] For the division method of durations, it may be pre-divided through default configurations or user-divided according to usage requirements. For specific implementations, please refer to the description in Embodiment 3, which will not be exemplified here. For other aspects not detailed in this embodiment, reference may also be made to the descriptions provided above.

[0124] Embodiment 5

[0125] In embodiments of the present application, the heating power profile may be generated by plotting a profile. As shown in Figure 7, the heating power profile generating method for an aerosol provision system in this embodiment may comprise:

[0126] S71. providing a power editing interface, wherein the power editing interface may comprise a profile plotting area. S72. obtaining a continuous profile edited by the user through the profile plotting area, the continuous profile represents the variation of the heating power value within the preset puffing time.

[0127] S73. obtaining at least one heating time window divided from a preset puffing time, establishing a correspondence relationship between at least one heating time window and at least one heating power value based on the distribution positions of each heating time window within the preset puffing time, and the distribution positions of heating power values represented by a continuous profile across the preset puffing time, generating a heating power profile based on the established correspondence relationship, and controlling heating according to the heating power profile.

[0128] As shown in Figure 8, the embodiment may provide a profile plotting area on the power editing interface, allowing users to manually plot the heating power profile. Typically, heating power profiles plotted by users may be predominantly continuous, exhibiting smoother power transitions.

[0129] Correspondingly, to better represent the smooth profiles plotted by users, the system may maximize the division of heating time windows. The shorter the duration of each divided window, the more precisely it can track profile variations and reproduce the corresponding power changes. The duration of heating time windows and their approximation accuracy to profiles plotted by users may be determined based on processor capabilities and practical application requirements, as the present application imposes no specific limitations in this regard.

[0130] As an example, users may freely plot a continuous profile based on their usage requirements or for customization purposes, which the application then processes to generate a corresponding heating power profile.

[0131] As another example, a preset profile may be provided to users through the profile plotting area through default configurations. Users may perform adjustments based on the preset profile, and the application modifies the preset profile according to the user's adjustment operations to obtain a continuous profile that reflects user requirements.

[0132] It can be understood that, before obtaining the adjustment operation, the method may further comprise obtaining an adjustment region selected by the user in the preset profile to adjust the adjustment region based on the adjustment operation.

[0133] Specifically, user adjustment operations may comprise: any modifications performed at arbitrary positions on the preset profile, including both adjustment direction and adjustment distance.

[0134] Referring to the example shown in Figure 8, where the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents power values. For horizontal adjustment operations by the user, the adjustment direction may indicate increasing or decreasing the duration corresponding to one (or some) power value(s), and the adjustment distance may represent the amount of change in duration. Based on horizontal adjustments, the correspondence relationship between power values and time may be modified. For vertical adjustment operations by the user, the adjustment direction may indicate the trend of power value changes (i.e., increasing or decreasing the power value corresponding to a certain time or time period), and the adjustment distance may represent the magnitude of power value change. Based on vertical adjustments, the correspondence relationship between power values and time may also be modified. Thus, by combining adjustment direction and adjustment distance, a continuous edited profile may be generated based on user modifications.

[0135] In one implementation, the user may perform the aforementioned adjustment operations by dragging the portion of the preset profile that requires power adjustment.

[0136] Additionally, the user's adjustment operation may also be implemented by: inputting power adjustment information to perform the modification. For example, the power editing interface may provide an input area where users can submit adjustment instructions for the preset profile via text input or voice commands. These instructions may include the power adjustment values and the corresponding target regions requiring modification.

[0137] Embodiment 6

[0138] In embodiments of the present application, a heating control method may be provided based on the heating power profile generated according to the aforementioned embodiments. As shown in Figure 9, the heating control method for an aerosol provision system in this embodiment may comprise:

[0139] S91. obtaining a heating power profile associated with the aerosol provision system, wherein the heating power profile may be generated based on at least one heating power value configured by a user for multiple heating time windows divided for the preset puffing time;

[0140] S92. detecting the user is puffing through the aerosol provision system, within different heating time windows, according to the heating power value corresponding to the heating time window, and controlling the heating.

[0141] The heating control method of the embodiment may be applied to the controller of an aerosol provision system. After obtaining the user-customized heating power profile, the controller may perform heating control according to either constant or variable power values specified in the profile. This enables the aerosol provision system to deliver a puffing experience corresponding to the user-defined heating power profile during puffing.

[0142] On one hand, if the heating power profile is customized by the user to achieve an enhanced puffing experience, the corresponding heating control scheme may deliver inhalation characteristics that precisely match the desired flavor and sensory nuances preferred by the user.

[0143] On the other hand, if the heating power profile is customized by the user to enhance entertainment value, the implemented heating control scheme may allow the user to experience the flavor profile corresponding to the defined profile, thereby increasing the enjoyment of using the aerosol provision system.

[0144] Optionally, to improve power control accuracy and ensure optimal performance of the heating power profile, the controller may employ a high-frequency heating mode for thermal regulation. Specifically, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signals generated through hardware may be utilized for heating control. In one implementation, the hardware circuit generating PWM signals may be a dedicated circuit unit within the MCU.

[0145] The hardware circuit's native capability to support high-frequency operation enables generation of more stable, reliable, and precise PWM signals. When applied to the heating element, the PWM signals facilitate ultra-fine power adjustments within extremely short time intervals, thereby optimizing thermal performance.

[0146] Additionally, accounting for inevitable line losses during energy transmission from the battery, the controller may implement power compensation to ensure the actual power delivered to the heating element matches the specified values in the heating power profile. This is achieved by adding compensation values to the target power levels within each heating time window, thereby calibrating the battery's actual energy output. For example, based on potential power losses in the aerosol provision system's circuitry, the determined power compensation value may be set at 0.1W.
