Definitions

  • the device further comprises a first tactile element disposed on or around the activation switch to guide a user in locating the activation switch on the second surface of the body.
  • the first tactile element and the second tactile element comprise a continuous embossed or debossed ring of raised features formed around the activation switch and the biometric sensor respectively.
  • Figure 1 A shows a vaping device with a cylindrical shaped body according to an aspect of the invention
  • Figure 1 B shows a vaping device with an oblong shaped body according to another aspect of the invention.
  • the activation switch 103 is preferably disposed on the lower surface of the body 101 of the e-cig 100a.
  • the fingerprint sensor 104 is disposed on the upper surface of the body 101 of the e-cig 100a.
  • the fingerprint sensor 104 is disposed such that the activation switch 103 is directly opposite or underneath the fingerprint sensor 104.
  • the centre of the fingerprint sensor 104 is directly opposite the centre of the activation switch 103. This supports the natural press exerted by the user, making it easier to correctly press the activation switch 103.
  • the index finder is positioned on the opposite side, instinctively touching the activation switch 103. This improves the usability as the user will instinctively place their fingers on the correct position on the device without concerted effort. This instinctive positioning can be further improved by tactile elements, which are described below with reference to Figures 2A-2C.
  • a consumable or cartridge (not shown) is configured to store a precursor used to generate aerosol in the e-cig 100a.
  • the cartridge can be designed to store the precursor in a liquid and/or solid form. It can be formed by a pod or capsule containing e-liquid or a consumable like a tobacco rod.
  • the cartridge can be received by a receiving means of the e-cig 100a and can be removed and replaced by another one when the precursor is no longer available.
  • the cartridge can be also refilled with the precursor.
  • the cartridge can comprise its own heater powered by a heating system of the e-cig 100a or at least a heating surface configured to be heated by the heating system of the e-cig 100a.

Abstract

Un dispositif de génération d'aérosol (100a) comprend un corps (101), un capteur biométrique (104) tel qu'un capteur d'empreintes digitales disposé sur une première surface du corps et un interrupteur d'activation (103) disposé à une seconde surface du corps tel qu'un interrupteur d'activation, et le capteur biométrique est posé directement l'un en face de l'autre. Les éléments tactiles (201a-c) sont disposés sur ou autour de l'interrupteur d'activation (103) pour offrir un guidage sensoriel à l'utilisateur. Pendant le fonctionnement, si des acteurs d'utilisateur simultanées sur l'interrupteur d'activation et le capteur biométrique sont détectés et si l'action utilisateur continue pendant une période de temps prédéterminée, le dispositif est allumé mais non activé. Si une autre action est détectée sur l'interrupteur d'activation, p.ex. par l'utilisateur appuyant de nouveau, le capteur biométrique est actionné pour identifier l'utilisateur. Si l'utilisateur est reconnu, le dispositif est actionné pour l'utilisation. SI l'utilisateur n'est pas reconnu, le dispositif est éteint pour prévenir l'utilisation non autorisée.
