Abstract: A non-combustible aerosol-generating device is disclosed. It comprises a display for displaying an image visible to a user in an activated state, and control circuitry configured to detect the presence of a user and/or a remote device in the proximity of the aerosol-generating device, and to switch the display from a deactivated state in which no image is displayed to an activated state in response to said detection. Also disclosed is a non-combustible aerosol-generating device in which a displayed image is modified or changed when a user and/or device is proximal to the aerosol-generating device. A non-combustible aerosol-generating system and a method of controlling a non-combustible aerosol-generating device is also disclosed.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of generating aerosol from an aerosol-generating substrate using an aerosol-generating device, the aerosol-generating device comprising at least three heating zones disposed so as to each heat a different section of the substrate to generate an aerosol without burning. The method comprises sequentially generating aerosol from each different section of substrate, wherein during heating; (i) a section of substrate is heated to an aerosol-generation temperature; (ii) another section of substrate which is heated to an intermediate temperature which is below the aerosol-generation temperature but and approximately equal to or above the minimum operating temperature; (iii) at least one of the remaining sections of substrate are heated to a minimum operating temperature which is at least sufficient to prevent condensation of volatilized components on or in the vicinity of those sections; and wherein once aerosol has been generated from a section, (a) the temperature in that section is reduced from the aerosol-generation temperature to the minimum operating temperature, (b) the section previously heated to the intermediate temperature is heated to the aerosol-generation temperature, and (c) a further section is heated to the intermediate temperature.

Abstract: An aerosol provision cartridge (30) for an aerosol provision system (10). The cartridge (30) comprises a refillable chamber (100) for aerosol precursor material, the chamber (100) comprising a first opening (102) and a second opening (104), each opening (102;104) allowing for access into the chamber (100). Each opening (102;104) is covered by a respective cap (130;132) which is configured to be uncoupled from the chamber (100) for allowing access to the opening (102;104). The cartridge (30) is configured such that each cap (130;132), when coupled to the chamber (100), requires at least two different actions (A1;A2) to be uncoupled from the chamber (100). The first or second action (A1;A2) may each include, but are not limited, to: rotating; pulling; pushing; or unlatching.

Abstract: An aerosol provision system (1) for generating an aerosol, wherein the aerosol provision system (1) is configured to wirelessly transmit a feedback signal (290) to an audio output device (200). The feedback signal (290) is configured for controlling the audio output device (200), which may be a loudspeaker, headphone, or earphone. In some cases, the feedback signal (290) is configured to be wirelessly transmitted by the aerosol provision system (1) in response to a predetermined event being determined as being satisfied by the aerosol provision system (290). In this way, the feedback signal (290) can used as a means to ultimately provide the user, via the audio output device (200), an indication of a current status of the aerosol provision system (1).
