FIELD: aerosol-generating systems.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to an electrically heated aerosol-generating device and an aerosol-generating system containing such a device. An electrically heated aerosol-generating device for use with an aerosol-generating article comprises: a device body comprising a receiving cavity within a proximal portion of the device for housing at least a portion of the aerosol-generating article; a dividing wall located adjacent to the distal end of the receiving cavity, separating the receiving cavity within the proximal portion of the device from the distal portion of the device; at least one electrical heating device for heating the aerosol-generating substrate within the article when the article is placed in the receiving cavity; and a sensing circuit including a field generator, the field generator being located within a distal portion of the device adjacent the dividing wall. The sensing circuit is configured to measure a change in at least one property of the field generator caused by the presence of an indicator located inside the product when the product is placed in the receiving cavity.
EFFECT: inventions provide an aerosol-generating device for use with an aerosol-generating article comprising improved means for identifying the article, particularly one that provides increased difficulty for the use of incompatible or counterfeit articles with the device.
