摘要: The present disclosure relates to a technique that enables the status of components in a smoking substitute device to be monitored through a portable communication terminal (e.g. mobile phone). The smoking substitute device is configured to communicate wirelessly with the portable communication terminal, e.g. via a wireless personal area network, to transmit component status information. The status information is processed either locally or in the cloud to provide feedback or other notifications to a user of the device or to other parties. The component status information is used to calculate a predicted remaining component lifetime. The feedback can enable pre-emptive action to be taken, e.g. before a component of the device fails or reaches the end of its usable life.

摘要: A system for managing a smoking substitute device, the system including: a smoking substitute device, including a main body and a consumable configured to be physically coupled to the main body; wherein the consumable is associated with validity state information from which it can be determined whether the consumable is valid for use with the main body; wherein the system is configured to determine from the validity state information whether the consumable is valid for use with the main body and, if the system determines from the validity state information that the consumable is not valid for use with the main body, inhibit use of the consumable with the main body. An associated method is also disclosed.

摘要: The disclosure relates to a technique that enables a status of a battery in a smoking substitute device to be monitored through a portable communication terminal (e.g. mobile phone). The smoking substitute device is configured to communicate wirelessly with the portable communication terminal, e.g. via a wireless personal area network, to transmit status information concerning the battery. The status information is processed either locally or in the cloud to provide feedback or other notifications to a user of the device. Usage data may also be transmitted, whereby the battery status can be expressed in terms of a predicted remaining usage, e.g. predicted number of remaining activation events.

摘要: A dispenser for dispensing a liquid is disclosed. The dispenser comprises an outlet for dispensing a liquid, a reservoir for liquid, and a closure configured to engage with the dispenser and movable between a closed position in which the outlet is enclosed and an open position in which the outlet is not enclosed. The dispenser further comprises an arrangement for controlling liquid communication between the reservoir and the outlet, the arrangement and reservoir movable with respect to each other between a first configuration in which the reservoir is not in liquid communication with the outlet and a second configuration in which the reservoir is in liquid communication with the outlet. By requiring a second movement after removal of the closure accidental access or dispensing of the contents may be avoided or reduced.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a technique that utilizes the ability of a smoking substitute device to wirelessly connect via a wireless personal area network to a portable communication terminal (e.g. mobile phone) to provide a user with location-related information about the smoking substitute device. The technique may be used to issue a notification upon detection a dropped connection, e.g. to prevent loss or theft of the smoking substitute device. The technique may use other information from the smoking substitute device and/or portable communication terminal to judge whether or not a dropped connection is notifiable. For example, notifications may be suppressed based on any of a duration of the loss of the wireless connection, a presence of a wireless connection between the portable communication terminal and another smoking substitute device, a current location of the portable communication terminal, and historical smoking substitute device usage data.
