Aerosol generating device

There is provided an aerosol-generating device for receiving an aerosol substrate and providing electrical power to the aerosol substrate, the aerosol-generating device comprising: at least two electrodes configured to electrically couple with the aerosol substrate to provide electrical power to the aerosol substrate in use; a proximity sensor configured to sense a proximity of a user in a first direction; and a control unit configured to: compare the sensed proximity to a predetermined threshold value; and increasing the electrical power provided to the aerosol substrate to the inhalation electrical power when the sensed proximity is less than a predetermined threshold. A method of operating an aerosol-generating device is also provided. 提供了一种气溶胶产生装置，该气溶胶产生装置用于接纳气溶胶基质并向所述气溶胶基质提供电功率，该气溶胶产生装置包括：至少两个电极，该至少两个电极被配置成与所述气溶胶基质电耦合，以在使用时向所述气溶胶基质提供电功率；接近传感器，该接近传感器被配置成感测使用者在第一方向上的接近度；以及控制单元，该控制单元被配置成：将所感测的接近度与预定阈值作比较；并且当所感测的接近度小于预定阈值时将提供到所述气溶胶基质的电功率增加到吸入电功率。还提供了一种操作气溶胶产生装置的方法。
