Abstract (en)

A control unit of an aerosol generation device includes: a sensor configured to output inhalation by a user; and a processing device configured to control discharge from a power supply to an atomizer configured to atomize an aerosol source. The processing device is configured: to acquire an inhalation time that is a length of each inhalation and an discharge time that is a length of discharge to the atomizer corresponding to each inhalation, based on an output of the sensor; and to acquire at least one of a remaining amount of a flavor source configured to add flavor to aerosol generated from the aerosol source and a consumed amount of the flavor source, based on the inhalation time and the discharge time.
