Patent attributes
A technology is provided that can flexibly adjust power consumption in a system in which a charging device for charging an aerosol generation device communicates with a terminal device, the power consumption being due to said communication. An operating method for a terminal device communicates with a charging device for charging an aerosol generation device. The method includes a step in which charging information relating to a battery of the charging device is acquired from the charging device; a step in which a charging status of the battery is evaluated on the basis of the charging information; and a step in which the possibility or impossibility of communication between the terminal device and the charging device is determined on the basis of the charging status.
