Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3811803A1] aerosol generation deviceProvided is an aerosol generation device with which it is possible to inexpensively detect a shortage or depletion of an aerosol source with high accuracy. An aerosol generation device 100 comprises: a storage unit 116A in which an aerosol source is stored, or an aerosol substrate 116B in which the aerosol source is held; a load 132 that atomizes the aerosol source by means of heat generated by power supplied from a power source 110, and has a physical property that changes if the load 132 is heated to a temperature that can only be reached when the aerosol source in the storage unit 116A or the aerosol substrate 116B is depleted; a sensor 112 that outputs a value related to said physical property of the load 132; and a control unit 106 that is configured so as to determine depletion on the basis of the output value from the sensor 112 after the temperature of the load 132 has risen to or exceeded a temperature at which the aerosol source can be atomized.
