The liquid contained in the liquid reservoir, that is, the aerosol substrate may have any component and can be appropriately set by those skilled in the art, but preferably it contains a fragrance component. The aerosol substrate may also contain nicotine or a nicotine salt. Further, it may contain components such as vitamins, caffeine, GABA and other effective components.

  The housing 5 according to the present embodiment has two light emitting elements 5b partially exposed to the outside. The light emitting element 5b functions, for example, to notify the electric capacity of the built-in battery, and as described later, functions as a notification unit that indicates the health condition of the user. The light emitting element 5b is, for example, a light source such as an LED or an electric light, and is provided in such a manner that the user can visually recognize the light at the time of light emission.

The biometric information data according to this embodiment is a pulse.
Since the data is a pulse, it is easy to detect it, and it is easy to estimate the health condition of the user including the stress condition related to the sympathetic nerve and the parasympathetic nerve, and it is easy to transmit it as data.
The pulse sensor 6 for detecting the pulse is installed at a position where the pulse sensor 6 is held by the fingertip when the aerosol supply device 1 is used for inhaling the aerosol 3 when the aerosol supply device 1 is held by the fingertip. It is preferable that it is set as follows. Specifically, it is desirable that the housing 5 is arranged closer to the mouthpiece 5X side than the central portion in the longitudinal direction.
With such a configuration, when the aerosol supply device 1 is used, the pulse can be measured without difficulty, and simple and stable measurement can be performed. In addition, the stress recovery due to the use of the aerosol supply device 1 can be confirmed by the parameter of pulse.

  The biometric information data is data derived from a living body and may be measured invasively, but if the data can be measured (obtained) non-invasively, it does not burden the user and is suitable. Is. Thus, it is non-invasive and facilitates the detection and transmission of normal user data.

For example, the biological information data is selected from the group consisting of heartbeat, pulse, sweating (sweat amount or sweat component), blood flow, vascular resistance, blood pressure, or blood component (dissolved oxygen concentration in blood or blood glucose level, etc.). It may be one or more types of data.
Since the biometric information data is one or more types of data selected from the group consisting of heartbeat, pulse, sweating, blood pressure, or blood components, the health condition of the user can be appropriately determined.

The pulse sensor 6 is not limited as long as it is a device capable of non-invasively measuring biological information data. For example, it is preferable that the pulse sensor 6 uses a photo interrupter that emits and receives infrared rays and the like.
Further, as a device for detecting biometric data relating to sweating, an electrode for measuring a sweating amount (not shown) may be used. The electrode outputs a response value corresponding to the skin conductance, based on the resistance value when a weak current for measuring the amount of perspiration is applied to the skin of the user's finger.
In addition, a pulse oximeter or the like that detects the blood oxygen saturation as biometric data may be used.

The aerosol supply device 1 includes a data transmission unit 7 for storing and / or analyzing biological information data and transferring the data to an arithmetic unit 20 for determining the health condition of the user. The data transmission unit 7 may be a wired or wireless communication device.

  According to the arithmetic unit 20, the stress level of the user is evaluated from the biological information data (pulse value) transmitted from the data transmission unit 7, the type of the aerosol substrate corresponding to the stress level, the method of sucking the aerosol supply device 1, etc. Can be presented on the display 24 such as a smartphone as the arithmetic unit 20. As a result, the user can efficiently recover stress by effectively using the aerosol supply device 1.

The analysis of the biometric information data by the analysis unit 23 can be appropriately set by those skilled in the art according to the type of biometric information data.
For example, by accumulating and analyzing biometric information data of an individual, it is possible to obtain data of the normal state of the individual. By using the normal state data obtained in this way as a reference, for example, when data that is significantly different (significantly different) from the normal state is acquired, it is possible that an abnormal state exists, indicating that there is some abnormality. Sex can be evaluated.
For example, in the case of a pulse, analysis can be performed based on the pulse rate per minute, pulsation width, noise (aperiodic fluctuation), and the like.

Furthermore, the RR interval fluctuation (heart rate interval fluctuation) obtained from the pulse is divided into periodic fluctuation and aperiodic fluctuation. It is known that atrial fibrillation can be detected by detecting turbulence of the pulse by heart rate variability analysis and clustering both.
For example, when the pulse rate is 70 to 90 times per minute in a normal state, and in an individual having a regular cycle, a sudden decrease to about 50 times or a significant increase in aperiodic fluctuation is measured, The possibility of disease can be evaluated based on the significant difference from the normal state and the degree of pulsation irregularity.

Further, the analysis by the analysis unit 23 can be used for evaluation of a psychological state.
For example, the value of LF / HF is generally called a stress index, and it is known that it can be used for detecting a stress state.
The LF value is called Low Frequency, and it is known that it mainly contains a sympathetic nerve component. The LF value is a value obtained by integrating the power value obtained from the analysis of pulse fluctuation in the frequency band 0.04 to 0.15 Hz.
The HF value is called High Frequency and is known to include a parasympathetic nerve component. The HF value is a value obtained by integrating the power value obtained from the analysis of pulse fluctuation in the frequency band 0.15 to 0.4 Hz.
When a value higher than that of LF / HF in the normal state is obtained, it can be evaluated that the stress is high, and the result can be presented to the user.

The computing device 20 may further include a notification unit (display 24) that notifies the health state evaluation result data by the analysis unit 23.
Since the arithmetic device 20 includes the display 24, the user or a person who monitors the health condition of the user and who is in the vicinity of the arithmetic device 20 can confirm the evaluation result on the display 24. ..
The result notified to the user by the display 24 or the like may be the value of the biometric information data itself, or the data after the analysis, and the disease or psychology calculated by the analysis by the analysis unit 23. It may be an evaluation value of mental stress.
Further, the analysis data or the evaluation value may include a suggestion of the time and method for sucking the aerosol supply device 1, the type of the aerosol substrate, and the like. In addition, a product or service according to the evaluation value may be proposed.
For example, advertisements or discount coupons for relaxation goods, travel, nearby salons and hospitals, relaxation services, and discount coupons may be presented to the display 24 for users who have higher psychological stress than usual.
In addition, inhalation of additional aerosol 3 or another type of aerosol base material may be recommended, an alert may be given regarding a disease such as an arrhythmia, or the fact that stress has been resolved may be notified.

<First Modification>
Next, the aerosol supply device 1A according to the first modification will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing functions of the aerosol supply device 1A according to the first modification.

The data transmission unit 7 outputs the biometric information data detected by the biometric information detection unit (pulse sensor 6) and the pressure data regarding the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit (pressure sensor 9) to an external device (arithmetic device 20). Send to.

The atmospheric pressure sensor 9 is a sensor that is provided inside the housing 5 (see FIG. 1) and detects the atmospheric pressure inside the housing 5. The atmospheric pressure sensor 9 is, for example, a condenser microphone sensor, and may output, for example, a voltage value indicating the electric capacity of the condenser to the data transmission unit 7 as pressure data. The air pressure sensor 9 allows the air in the housing 5 to be sucked into the housing 5 from the ventilation holes (not shown) by the user sucking the air in the housing 5 through the suction opening 5a. The air pressure in the housing 5 that changes when flowing through the airflow passage 8 is output to the data transmission unit 7.
The data receiving unit 21 acquires the atmospheric pressure inside the housing 5 based on the output signal of the data transmitting unit 7.

The above-mentioned "pressure data" means a pressure measurement value and its converted value, and the count value (number of times) that the pressure value is above or below a predetermined value (or below), and the pressure value is above or below a predetermined value (or below). Refers to all the data acquired based on the pressure, such as the count value (number of times) that the value has continued for a predetermined time or longer.
For example, the analysis unit 23 uses the pressure data in the housing 5 received by the data reception unit 21 (that is, by detecting a negative pressure) to perform a suction operation (puff operation) by the user through the suction port 5a. ) Is detected by analysis. For example, the analysis unit 23 detects a suction state (suction section) in which the user is sucking the gas inside the housing 5 through the suction port 5a and a non-suction state (non-suction section) in which the user is not sucking. .. As a result, the analysis unit 23 can specify the number of suction operations (puff number) by the user.

With the above-described configuration, the aerosol supply device 1A can transmit the pulse data and the pressure data to the arithmetic device 20, so that the arithmetic device 20 provides the user with various proposals regarding the pressure change (puff number). Can be presented.

According to the above configuration, the biometric information data continuously acquired by the aerosol supply device 1B can be accumulated, and the accumulated biometric information data can be transmitted to the arithmetic unit 20. Therefore, when the external device receives the accumulated data of the biometric information data that largely deviates from the average value as an individual, it is possible to accurately determine the abnormality of the health condition.

<Third Modification>
Next, an arithmetic device 20A according to the third modification will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing functions of the arithmetic device 20A according to the third modification.
The calculation unit 40A of the calculation device 20A further includes a selection unit 25 that selects a method of using the aerosol supply device 1 based on the health condition evaluation result data analyzed by the analysis unit 23. Then, the notifying unit (display 24) notifies the usage method selected by the selecting unit 25.

According to the above configuration, the method of using the aerosol supply device 1 (the type of the aerosol substrate to be used, the time of use, etc.) can be proposed based on the evaluation result regarding the stress level and the like, and the health condition can be promptly improved. For example, when it is determined that the user is in a tense state, a text recommending an aerosol substrate of a type capable of reducing stress may be displayed on the display 24. In addition, the use of a specific means for reducing the stress level, such as a comment or a massage recommending extension of the break time based on the evaluation of the psychological stress, may be displayed on the display 24.
It should be noted that the selection unit 25 may be configured to select from selection candidate data such as the usage method of the aerosol supply device 1 which is previously recorded in the memory 26 described later.

<Fourth Modification>
Next, an arithmetic device 20B according to the fourth modification will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 in addition to FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the function of the arithmetic device 20B according to the fourth modified example, and FIG. 7 shows an example of the relationship between the puff rate and the pulse rate during normal times and the relationship between the puff number and the pulse rate during an abnormality. It is a figure.

The aerosol supply device 1A according to the present example is provided on the flow path (air flow path 8) of the air flow generated by the suction of the aerosol 3 by the user, similar to the one described with reference to FIG. 3 in the first modified example. Further, a pressure detection unit (atmospheric pressure sensor 9) for detecting pressure is further provided.
The data transmission unit 7 receives the biometric information data detected by the biometric information detection unit (pulse sensor 6) and the suction amount data regarding the suction amount including the pressure data regarding the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit (pressure sensor 9). It transmits to the arithmetic unit 20B.
The biological information storage unit 22 of the arithmetic device 20B stores the biological information data and the suction amount data received by the data receiving unit 21.
The arithmetic device 20B further includes a memory 26 such as a RAM that stores related data indicating the relationship between the amount of the aerosol 3 a user inhales in normal times and the biometric information data.
The analysis unit 23 included in the calculation unit 40B compares the related data stored in the memory 26 with the biometric information data and the suction amount data stored in the biometric information storage unit to evaluate the health condition of the user. To do.

According to the above configuration, the processing by the analysis unit 23 can be speeded up by using the related data stored in the memory 26 and indicating the relationship between the user's suction amount of the aerosol 3 in normal times and the biometric information data. Therefore, the health condition of the user can be accurately evaluated based on the relationship between the suction amount data and the biological information data.
In the example shown in FIG. 7, the relationship between the user's puff number (suction amount) and pulse rate stored in the memory 26 in normal times is shown by a broken line, and the biological information actually obtained from the biological information storage unit 22 is shown. The solid line shows the relationship between the data (pulse rate) and the suction amount data (puff number).

  In the case shown in FIG. 7, the analysis unit 23 evaluates that the pulse rate of the user is higher than that of a reference such as normal times, and displays the fact on the display 24. The "reference" referred to here is a function of the number of puffs (other suction time) as the suction amount data for the biological information data (pulse rate). When the analysis unit 23 determines that the user's state at that time is abnormal based on the magnitude of the difference between the reference and the actual measurement result, the analysis unit 23 sends a signal to the display 24 to give an alert.

The normal biometric information data may be heartbeat data in addition to the pulse rate, and may be user responsiveness for each type of aerosol 3 (for example, stress reduction degree for each puff frequency). ..
As described above, in the analysis by the analysis unit 23, it is optimal to use the personal biometric information data as a reference, but it is also possible to use external publicly known data. In addition, regarding the biometric information data obtained from publicly known external data in this manner, the data may be corrected according to age, sex, race, presence or absence of genetic background, and the like.
As the “aspiration amount data”, in addition to the puff number, a timer (not shown) may be used to measure the elapsed time from the end of the suction (puff) operation by the user.
