Patent ID: 10632488

Abstract:
A control unit for an aerosol generating device includes: a sensor that outputs a value related to a temperature of a power source capable of being charged and discharged to a load for atomizing an aerosol source; and a controller configured to execute one or more functions of operating the power source when an output value of the sensor is within a first range having at least one of a first upper limit and a first lower limit. The first upper limit or the first lower limit is smaller or larger than a second upper limit or a second lower limit of a second range that is a range of a value related to a temperature at which the one or more functions can be executed, a range of a value related to a temperature at which deterioration of the power source is suppressed, a range of a value related to a temperature at which the power source deteriorates due only to a factor that is the same as normal temperature, or a range corresponding to an operating temperature of the power source.
