CONTROL UNIT, AN AEROSOL GENERATING DEVICE, A METHOD AND A COMPUTER-READABLE DATA CARRIER FOR CONTROLLING THE HEATER, AS WELL AS A SMOKING PRODUCT Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A24F47/00 

FIELD: aerosol production; smoking accessories.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a control unit, an aerosol-generating device, a method and a program for controlling a heater, as well as a smoking product. The present aerosol-generating device is equipped with at least one element that makes it possible to adjust the amount of aerosol delivered, and a controller for controlling the element. The controller is designed to control the element in such a way that the aerosol delivery profile in a pre-set period during which a puff is possible includes an initial period during which the said aerosol delivery profile increases with a gradually increasing gradient relative to the time axis, the final period during which the said aerosol delivery profile decreases with the gradually decreasing gradient relative to the time axis, and the intermediate period, which includes one or more values of local maxima between the initial period and the final period.

EFFECT: inventions are aimed at providing the possibility of recognition, based on the perceived sensation when performing a puff, of the transition from the initial period to the intermediate period and the transition from the intermediate period to the final period.
