Abstract: An electrically operated aerosol generating system may include a storage portion configured to store an aerosol forming substrate, at least one heating element configured to heat the aerosol forming substrate, a sensor configured to detect an activation of the system, a clock, and electric circuitry connected to the sensor. A usage parameter associated with operation of the system may be measured and compared, to a threshold value. A usage profile of the system may be determined based on the comparison. Such operations may be repeated at different times of day. An operating mode of the system may be selectively executed based on the determined usage profile associated with the current time of day. A monitoring procedure may be ended when the measured usage parameter exceeds a threshold value, and the duration of the monitoring procedure may be compared to a threshold duration to determine the usage profile.

Abstract: A cartridge for an aerosol-generating system includes a sensor including a capacitor with a first capacitor plate and a second capacitor plate, a storage portion for storing an aerosol-forming substrate, and a vaporizer. The storage portion is between the first capacitor plate and the second capacitor plate. The permittivity of the liquid storage portion changes upon a change of the volume f the liquid aerosol-forming substrate held in the liquid storage portion. The sensor is configured to measure the capacitance of the capacitor. The measured capacitance relates to a corresponding permittivity of the aerosol-forming substrate held in the storage portion so that the amount of the volume of the aerosol-forming substrate held in the storage portion is determinable from the measured capacitance.
