- a flavor source for imparting a flavor component to the generated aerosol to generate the aerosol to which the flavor component is imparted.
- the first condition of exclusion may include a condition that a time when the inhalation information is acquired is within a period set by the user.
- the inhalation information may include a plurality of items of information
- the condition of exclusion may include a second condition of exclusion that specifies an item of information to be excluded from the transmission target, among the plurality of items of information included in the inhalation information
- the controller may control the transmission source so as to exclude, among the plurality of items of information included in the inhalation information that is acquired in a situation where the first condition of exclusion is satisfied, the item of information specified in the second condition of exclusion from the transmission target.
- the inhalation information may include information that is not allowed to be set as information to be excluded from the transmission target in the second condition of exclusion.
- the controller may control the transmission source so as to store the inhalation information excluded from the transmission target and, in response to the user permitting transmission of the stored inhalation information, transmit the permitted inhalation information.
- a control method including: controlling a transmission process that is a process of, each time inhalation information that is information acquired in connection with inhalation performed by using an inhaler device is acquired, transmitting the acquired inhalation information, in which the controlling of the transmission process includes controlling a transmission source of the inhalation information so as to exclude the inhalation information from a transmission target of the transmission process when the inhalation information satisfies a condition of exclusion set by a user.
- elements having substantially the same functional configurations may be distinguished from each other by appending different alphabet letters to the same reference sign.
- a plurality of elements having substantially the same functional configurations may be distinguished from each other as necessary, as, for example, inhaler devices 100A and 100B.
- inhaler devices 100A and 100B when a plurality of elements having substantially the same functional configurations need not be distinguished from each other, only the same reference sign is assigned.
- the inhaler devices 100A and 100B need not be distinguished from each other, the inhaler devices 100A and 100B are simply referred to as an inhaler device 100.
- the power supply 111A stores electric power.
- the power supply 111A supplies electric power to the structural elements of the inhaler device 100A under the control of the controller 116A.
- the power supply 111A may be a rechargeable battery such as a lithium ion secondary battery.
- the memory 114A stores various items of information for operation of the inhaler device 100A.
- the memory 114A may be a non-volatile storage medium such as flash memory.
- the controller 116A functions as an arithmetic processing unit and a control circuit, and controls the overall operations of the inhaler device 100A in accordance with various programs.
- the controller 116A includes an electronic circuit such as a central processing unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, for example.
- means for atomizing the aerosol source is not limited to heating by the heater 121A.
- the means for atomizing the aerosol source may be vibration atomization or induction heating.
- the means for atomizing the aerosol source may be means for atomizing a liquid by using a piezoelectric element substrate having a pair of comb-shaped electrodes and generating a surface acoustic wave (SAW).
- SAW surface acoustic wave
- the power supply 111B, the sensor 112B, the notifier 113B, the memory 114B, the communicator 115B, and the controller 116B are substantially the same as the respective corresponding structural elements included in the inhaler device 100A according to the first configuration example.
- the heater 121B may have a blade-like shape, and may be disposed so that the heater 121B protrudes from the bottom 143 of the holder 140 toward the internal space 141. In this case, the heater 121B having the blade-like shape is inserted into the substrate 151 of the stick substrate 150 and heats the substrate 151 of the stick substrate 150 from its inside. In another example, the heater 121B may be disposed so that the heater 121B covers the bottom 143 of the holder 140. In still another example, the heater 121B may be implemented as a combination of two or more selected from a first heater that covers the outer circumference of the holder 140, a second heater having the blade-like shape, and a third heater that covers the bottom 143 of the holder 140.
- the inhaler device 100 and the terminal device 200 are capable of wirelessly communicating with each other.
- the terminal device 200 and the server 300 are capable of communicating with each other over a network 90.
- the network 90 is any wired/wireless communication network and is, for example, the Internet.
- a controller 116 controls a communicator 115 to transmit to the terminal device 200 various items of information for operations of the terminal device 200.
- the inhalation information may include positional information.
- the positional information is information indicating a position at which the user performs inhalation by using the inhaler device 100.
- the positional information is acquired by the sensor 210 of the terminal device 200.
- the inhalation information may include various items of information including identification information of the user, identification information of the inhaler device 100 (that is, the power supply unit 110), identification information of the cartridge 120, identification information of the flavor imparting cartridge 130, and identification information of the stick substrate 150.
- the transmission process concerning inhalation information includes a first transmission process in which the inhaler device 100 transmits inhalation information to the terminal device 200.
- the transmission source of inhalation information is the inhaler device 100.
- the inhaler device 100 transmits, each time inhalation information is acquired, the acquired inhalation information to the terminal device 200.
- the first condition of exclusion may include a condition that the time when inhalation information is acquired is within a period set by the user. This period is hereinafter also referred to as a period of exclusion.
- the transmission source of inhalation information excludes inhalation information that is acquired after the start time of the period of exclusion from the transmission target, and includes inhalation information that is acquired after the end time of the period of exclusion in the transmission target. For example, a period in which the user may suffer from inconvenience if the fact of inhalation is known to others during the period may be set as the period of exclusion. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the user from possibly suffering from inconvenience caused by collection of inhalation information. Note that the period of exclusion need not be a period in which the user may suffer from inconvenience and may be set as desired by the user. With such a configuration, it is possible to automatically resume transmission of inhalation information after the period of exclusion.
- the start time of the period of exclusion may be the time when an operation for giving an instruction for excluding inhalation information from the transmission target is received.
- This operation is, for example, input to the terminal device 200 by the user and acquired by the sensor 210.
- the user can make the period of exclusion immediately start. Therefore, for example, at the timing when the user is about to start inhalation, inhalation information regarding the inhalation can be excluded from the transmission target.
- the positional area of exclusion need not be a positional area in which the user may suffer from inconvenience and may be set as desired by the user. With such a configuration, it is possible to automatically resume transmission of inhalation information when the user moves out of the positional area of exclusion.
- the upper screen part 11 is a UI for setting the condition of exclusion for the first transmission process.
- transmission of inhalation information from the inhaler device 100 to the terminal device 200 is permitted. That is, the condition of exclusion is not set for the first transmission process, and each time inhalation information is acquired, the inhalation information is transmitted to the terminal device 200.
- transmission of inhalation information from the inhaler device 100 to the terminal device 200 is suspended. That is, the period of exclusion starts at the timing when the OFF button 13 is selected.
- Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example setting screen for a condition of exclusion displayed by the terminal device 200 according to the present embodiment.
- a setting screen 30 is a UI for setting the second condition of exclusion.
- the setting screen 30 includes a list of a plurality of items of information included in inhalation information.
- an ON button or an OFF button is selected for each item of information, setting can be performed so as to include the item of information in the transmission target or exclude the item of information from the transmission target.
- the ON button is selected for the number of puffs, the in-cartridge remaining amount, the remaining battery power, and the device use time, and therefore, these items of information are included in the transmission target.
- the OFF button is selected for the positional information, and therefore, the positional information is excluded from the transmission target.
- setting of the second condition of exclusion is completed.
- step S106 the inhaler device 100 determines whether the inhalation information acquired in step S102 is acquired in a situation where the first condition of exclusion is satisfied (step S106). For example, the inhaler device 100 determines whether the inhalation information is acquired in the period of exclusion. If it is determined that the inhalation information is acquired in a situation where the first condition of exclusion is not satisfied (NO in step S106), the inhaler device 100 transmits the inhalation information acquired in step S102 to the inhaler device 100 (step S108). Subsequently, the process returns to step S102 again. On the other hand, if it is determined that the inhalation information is acquired in a situation where the first condition of exclusion is satisfied (YES in step S106), the process proceeds to step S110.
