Abstract (en)

[Problem] To provide a mechanism capable of improving the quality of user experience.[Solution] An inhalation device comprising: a power supply unit for accumulating and supplying electric power, a heating unit for heating a base material containing an aerosol source so as to generate an aerosol; a control unit for controlling power feeding from the power supply unit to the heating unit on the basis of heating condition, wherein the heating condition includes a heating profile that represents information to define transitional variations in target temperature which is a target value of temperature of the heating unit, and information to define a heating period representing a duration in which the base material is heated and a non-heating period representing a duration in which the base material is not to be heated, and the control; unit performs control on power feeding to the heating unit while alternately switching between the heating period and the non-heating period so as to raise the temperature of the heating unit to the target temperature.
