(54) CONTROL UNIT OF AEROSOL GENERATION DEVICE


(57) A control unit of an aerosol generation device includes a processing device configured to acquire a remaining amount of at least one of an aerosol source and a flavor source configured to add flavor to aerosol generated from the aerosol source. When the remaining amount is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the processing device permits first discharge that is discharge from a power supply to an atomizer configured to atomize the aerosol source and second discharge that is discharge from the power supply to an adjustor capable of adjusting an amount of flavor that is added to the aerosol by the flavor source, and when the remaining amount is smaller than the threshold value, the processing device suppresses any one of the first discharge and the second discharge.
