Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A non-burning type flavor inhaler includes a control unit that controls power supplied from a power source to an atomizer. The control unit controls, in one puff action in a standard mode, controls the power source to supply standard power amount to the atomizer in a duration before a first duration elapses. The control unit, in one puff action in the reduced mode, controls the power source to supply first power amount greater than the standard power amount to the atomizer in a duration before a second duration elapses, and controls the power source to supply second power amount smaller than the first power amount to the atomizer in a duration after the second duration elapses and before a third duration elapses.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A non-burning type flavor inhaler having a shape extending from a non-inhalation end toward an inhalation end along a predetermined direction, comprising: an aerosol source that generates an aerosol; an atomizer that atomizes the aerosol source without burning; a power source that supplies power to the atomizer; and a control unit that controls a power amount supplied from the power source to the atomizer, wherein the control unit controls a standard mode to be applied to a user whose required time for one puff action for inhaling the aerosol is within a standard required time duration, and a reduced mode to be applied to a user whose required time for one puff action for inhaling the aerosol is shorter than the standard required time duration, the control unit, in one puff action in the standard mode, controls the power source to supply standard power amount to the atomizer in a duration before a first duration elapses, and controls the power source to supply power smaller than the standard power amount to the atomizer in a duration after the first duration elapses, and the control unit, in one puff action in the reduced mode, controls the power source to supply first power amount greater than the standard power amount to the atomizer in a duration before a second duration elapses, and controls the power source to supply second power amount smaller than the first power amount to the atomizer in a duration after the second duration elapses and before a third duration elapses, and controls the power source to supply power smaller than the second power amount to the atomizer in a duration after the third duration elapses. 2 . The non-burning type flavor inhaler according to claim 1 , wherein the second duration is shorter than the first duration. 3 . The non-burning type flavor inhaler according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit sets the standard mode or the reduced mode according to a learning of the puff action. 4 . The non-burning type flavor inhaler according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit sets the standard mode or the reduced mode according to an operation of a user. 5 . The non-burning type flavor inhaler according to claim 1 , comprising a light-emitting element, wherein the control unit controls the light-emitting element in a first light-emitting mode in a puff state inhaling the aerosol, and controls the light-emitting element in a second light-emitting mode different from the first light-emitting mode in a non-puff state not inhaling the aerosol, and the control unit continues the first light-emitting mode even in the duration after the first duration elapses or in the duration after the third duration elapses. 6 . The non-burning type flavor inhaler according to claim 1 , wherein the atomizer is a heat source that heats the aerosol source without burning.
