- the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100 acquires voltage information from the battery 112 and acquires the cumulative number of puffs based on the detection result of the wind pressure sensor.
- the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 determines whether or not the power remaining amount parameter of the battery 112 satisfies a predetermined condition. Then, the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 transmits the help information to the first terminal device 200 when it is determined that the power remaining amount parameter satisfies the predetermined condition. On the other hand, the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 does not transmit the help information to the first terminal device 200 when it is determined that the power remaining amount parameter does not satisfy the predetermined condition.
- the help information includes, for example, identification information of the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100, or various types of information regarding the remaining power amount such as a determination result of whether or not the remaining power parameter satisfies a predetermined condition. Since the help information is transmitted only when the remaining power parameter satisfies the predetermined condition, it is possible to suppress the power consumption required for wireless communication.
- the satisfaction of the predetermined condition includes the power remaining amount parameter indicating that the power remaining amount (for example, voltage) of the battery 112 is less than a predetermined threshold value. That is, the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the power remaining amount parameter indicates that the power remaining amount of the battery 112 is less than the predetermined threshold value, and otherwise does not satisfy the condition. judge. That is, the execution of the power supply is triggered only when the remaining power amount is less than the predetermined threshold value. Therefore, it becomes possible to trigger the execution of the power supply at an appropriate timing to prevent the usability from being deteriorated due to the decrease in the remaining power of the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100.
- the predetermined threshold value may be a threshold value of whether or not sufficient electric power remains in the battery 112 to use up at least one unused atomization unit 120.
- the electric power sufficient to use up the unused atomization unit 120 is, for example, aerosol is generated even if the puff operation is performed after the unused atomization unit 120 is attached to the electrical equipment unit 110 and the puff operation is started. It is the electric power that is obtained by adding a predetermined offset to the electric power that is required until it disappears. By setting such a threshold value, it becomes possible to trigger the execution of the power supply prior to the timing when the usability actually decreases.
- the predetermined threshold may be a threshold as to whether or not sufficient power remains in the battery 112 to use up the unused smoking article 180.

If the remaining amount of power is equal to or more than the threshold value, the user can perform the puff operation at least for the predetermined number of times of aerosol generation.
- the setting of the predetermined number of times of aerosol generation may be performed by the user. In this case, it is possible to satisfy the user's request such as "I want the power that can be puffed at least N times or more to remain".
- the predetermined threshold may be a threshold indicating whether or not the power supply to the atomization unit 122 is limited. If the remaining amount of power is equal to or more than the threshold value, the power supply to the atomizing unit 122 is not limited, and the first user can inhale the flavor by the puff operation. If the remaining power amount is less than the threshold value, the power supply to the atomizing unit 122 is limited, and it becomes difficult for the first user to suck the flavor by the puff operation. By setting such a threshold value, it becomes possible to trigger the execution of power supply at the timing when the usability actually deteriorates.
- the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 may periodically determine whether or not the power remaining amount parameter satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 makes the determination at the timing when the elapsed time from the previous determination reaches a predetermined time or at the timing when the puff count from the previous determination reaches the predetermined number. In these cases, it is possible to periodically monitor the remaining power amount of the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100 and prevent the remaining power amount from decreasing.

Therefore, the determination is performed using the detection of the attachment/detachment of the atomization unit 120 as a trigger, and before the first user realizes that the remaining amount of power is reduced due to the inability to suck the flavor even if the puff operation is performed. Moreover, it becomes possible to trigger the execution of the power supply.
- the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100B detects the insertion of the smoking article 180 into the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100 as a trigger, and the power remaining amount parameter is predetermined. It may be judged whether or not the condition of is satisfied.
- the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100 may determine whether or not the power remaining amount parameter satisfies a predetermined condition by using the success of the authentication of the atomization unit 120 attached to the electrical equipment unit 110 as a trigger.

- the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 may set different predetermined threshold values for the atomizing units 120 having different identification information. Accordingly, when the power consumption efficiency differs for each type of atomization unit 120, it is possible to trigger the execution of power supply at an appropriate timing for each atomization unit 120. For the same reason, the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 may set a predetermined threshold value for the above condition determination based on the identification information of the successfully authenticated capsule unit 130.

- the power supply device 500 when the power supply device 500 accumulates the power supplied to the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100 and receives the help information, whether to supply the power to the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100 based on the help information. Determine whether.
- the power supply device 500 can supply power without the decision of the second user. Therefore, the power supply device 500 installed in the environment can also supply power to the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100.
- the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 is used alone, and the help information is transmitted by using the decrease in the remaining power of the non-burning type flavor inhaler 100 as a trigger, but the present invention is applied. It is not limited to the example.
- a configuration in which the non-combustion type flavor suction device 100 and an external battery are used in combination and the non-combustion type flavor suction device 100 is charged from the external battery every several puffing operations can be considered.
- the help information may be transmitted by using the decrease of the remaining power of the external battery as a trigger.
- the external battery is also an example of the aerosol generation control device.
- the embodiments described above may be combined appropriately.
- the second embodiment and the third embodiment may be combined, and the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100 may directly communicate with the power supply device 500.
- the non-combustion type flavor inhaler 100 can directly send help information to the power supply device 500 installed in a nearby environment to receive power supply.
- the devices according to the first to third embodiments may be mixed.
- the power supply device 500 receives the help information.
- the help information for other devices is invalidated.
- each device described in this specification may be realized using any of software, hardware, and a combination of software and hardware.
- the program forming the software is stored in advance in a storage medium (non-transitory media) provided inside or outside each device, for example. Then, each program is read into the RAM when being executed by a computer, and executed by a processor such as a CPU.
- the storage medium is, for example, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a flash memory, or the like.
- the above computer program may be distributed, for example, via a network without using a storage medium.
