Patent attributes
The present invention provides a controller for an inhalation device, comprising: a power supplier configured to supply power to a heater used to heat and atomize an aerosol source; a detection circuit configured to detect a resistance value of the heater; and a processor configured to execute heating processing of heating the aerosol source by controlling the power supplier in accordance with reception of an atomization request of the aerosol source, wherein the processor controls the heating processing based on the resistance value of the heater detected using the detection circuit, a reference temperature of the heater, and a reference resistance value of the heater, and updates the reference resistance value by the resistance value of the heater detected using the detection circuit after an end of the heating processing and before the reception of the next atomization request.
