    Abstract: An aerosol provision device is provided that includes aerosol-generating material. The aerosol provision device includes an aerosol generator powered by the power source to energize the aerosol-generating material to generate an aerosol for delivery to a user. The aerosol provision device includes circuitry configured to control power to the aerosol generator to energize the aerosol-generating material. The circuitry includes processing circuitry configured to determine a temperature of the aerosol generator, determine a temperature function of the aerosol generator, and determine if the aerosol-generating material has reached an end of life (EOL) at which there is less than a threshold amount of the aerosol-generating material, based on the temperature and/or temperature function of the aerosol generator. The processing circuitry may further be configured to disable the aerosol generator when the aerosol-generating material has reached the EOL.

    Abstract: An aerosol generating apparatus of the present disclosure comprises an operation device to detect an input operation by a user, and a heater configured to atomize an aerosol source. The apparatus unlocks a locked state of the apparatus if the input operation satisfies an operation condition determined by the user. If an action state of the apparatus is a predetermined state in which heating of the heater cannot be started, the apparatus does not unlock the locked state of the apparatus.
