Claim 15:
16. The method according to claim 14, further comprising:
after notification of the error, stopping the supply of the alternating current for executing the inductive heating, and after notification of the error and before stoppage of the supply of the alternating current for executing the inductive heating, not stopping the supply of the alternating current for executing the inductive heating in a case where, based on a value of the detected impedance, the susceptor is determined to be within the housing of the aerosol-generating apparatus; and
executing inductive heating in accordance with a heating profile by which at least a heating target temperature according to an elapsation of time is defined, and controlling:
so that a duration, until a state in which the susceptor is determined to be in the housing of the aerosol-generating apparatus is entered from a state in which, based on an impedance obtained from the detected voltage and current, the susceptor is determined to not be in the housing of the aerosol-generating apparatus, does not affect an overall length of the heating profile, or
to extend a length of the heating profile based on a duration until a state in which the susceptor is determined to be in the housing of the aerosol-generating apparatus is entered from a state in which, based on an impedance obtained from the detected voltage and current, the susceptor is determined to not be in the housing of the aerosol-generating apparatus.
