Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021255167A1] An aerosol generation device user authentication unit (200) is provided. The user authentication unit comprises a controller (202) and one or more user authentication input means (204) configured to detect a plurality of types of user input. The controller is configured to detect a first user input and a second user input at the one or more user authentication input means (S402), determine a first authentication score for the first user input (S404-1), determine a second authentication score for the second user input (S404-2), determine an overall authentication score (S406), wherein the overall authentication score is based upon a combination of the first authentication score and the second authentication score, and control the user authentication unit to perform a first action when the overall authentication score is determined to meet a predetermined requirement (S408).
