Abstract (en)
[origin: EP4094597A1] The present invention: enables the type of an element to be easily determined when an element is attached to an aerosol generating device; and enables the operation of the aerosol generating device to be controlled in accordance with the type. A power unit (10) for an aerosol generating device is provided. The power unit (10) comprises: a light emitting element (171) that emits light to a reflection part (220) provided to a cartridge (200) when the power unit is connected to the cartridge or after the power unit has been connected thereto; a light receiving element (172) that receives light reflected by the reflection part; and a control unit that determines the cartridge type on the basis of the light received by the light receiving element.
