The user may be notified by, for example, lighting an LED or vibrating. The user can refer to this notification and start puffing immediately after the end of preheating.
- the notification unit 113 may notify the user of information indicating the timing at which the puffable period ends. For example, the notification unit 113 may notify information foretelling the end of the puffable period before the puffable period ends, or notify information indicating that the puffable period has ended at the timing when the puffable period has ended. or The user may be notified by, for example, lighting an LED or vibrating.

(1)加熱プロファイル
制御部116は、加熱プロファイルに基づいて、加熱部121の動作を制御する。加熱部121の動作の制御は、電源部111から加熱部121への給電を制御することにより、実現される。加熱部121は、電源部111から供給された電力を使用してスティック型基材150を加熱する。
端末装置200(例えば、制御部260)は、カスタマイズ処理を制御する。カスタマイズ処理とは、吸引装置100により使用される加熱プロファイルをカスタマイズする(即ち、変更する)処理である。ユーザは、加熱プロファイルをカスタマイズすることと、カスタマイズ後の加熱プロファイルを試して喫味を確認することと、を繰り返す。端末装置200は、ユーザの思い通りの喫味を実現する加熱プロファイルを生成するまで、カスタマイズ処理を繰り返し実行する。カスタマイズ処理を繰り返すことで、加熱プロファイルを、ユーザの思い通りの喫味を実現する理想の加熱プロファイルに徐々に近づけることができる。
図5は、N回目のカスタマイズ処理において表示される評価画面の一例を示す図である。なお、Nは2以上の整数である。端末装置200は、N-1回目(即ち、前回)のカスタマイズ処理において生成された加熱プロファイルに基づいて生成されたエアロゾルに対する評価の設定を、N回目(即ち、今回)のカスタマイズ処理において表示した評価画面300において受け付ける。
図6は、N回目のカスタマイズ処理において表示される設計画面の一例を示す図である。端末装置200は、評価画面300における喫味の評価の設定が完了した後に、設計画面400を表示する。そして、端末装置200は、設計画面400において、N回目のカスタマイズ処理において設定された喫味の評価を表示しながら、目標温度の設定を受け付け、設定された目標温度を反映した加熱プロファイルを生成する。
以下、図8及び図9を参照しながら、本実施形態に係る端末装置200において実行される処理の流れについて説明する。
図8は、本実施形態に係る端末装置200において実行されるN回目のカスタマイズ処理における評価設定処理の流れの一例を示すフローチャートである。カスタマイズ処理において、まず評価設定処理が実行される。
図9は、本実施形態に係る端末装置200において実行される目標温度設定処理の流れの一例を示すフローチャートである。カスタマイズ処理において、評価設定処理に続いて目標温度設定処理が実行される。
(1)第1の変形例
図10は、N回目のカスタマイズ処理において表示される評価画面の他の一例を示す図である。図10に示す評価画面300は、図5に示した例と同様に、設計情報表示欄30、進捗表示欄60、及び評価設定欄70を含む。以下、図5に示した例からの相違点について主に説明する。
図11~図13は、N回目のカスタマイズ処理において表示される評価画面の他の一例を示す図である。図11~図13に示した評価画面300(300a、300b、及び300c)は、時間経過に応じた評価画面300の遷移を表している。詳しくは、分数表示欄62に示されるように、評価画面300aは6回目のパフタイミングにおいて表示され、評価画面300bは6回目のパフタイミングと7回目のパフタイミングとの間に表示され、評価画面300cは、7回目のパフタイミングにおいて表示される。図11~図13に示すように、評価画面300は、図5に示した例と同様に、設計情報表示欄30、分数表示欄62及び評価設定欄70を含む。
図14~図16は、N回目のカスタマイズ処理において表示される評価画面の他の一例を示す図である。図14~図16に示した評価画面300(300d、300e、及び300f)は、時間経過に応じた評価画面300の遷移を表している。これらの評価画面300d、300d、及び300fは、6回目のパフタイミングにおいて、順番に表示される。本変形例に係る評価画面300は、第2の変形例と同様に、加熱セッションの進捗を、設計情報表示欄30に表示された情報のスクロールにより表示する。
