Abstract

Communications between electronic aerosol provision devices and computing devices can be used to support a wide range of functions, for example, to upgrade firmware on the electronic aerosol provision device, to retrieve usage and/or diagnostic data from the electronic aerosol provision device, to reset or unlock the electronic aerosol provision device, to control settings on the electronic aerosol provision device, etc. The present disclosure relates to a system comprising an electronic aerosol provision device for selectively providing an aerosol to a user of the electronic aerosol provision device, a computing device configured to communicate with the electronic aerosol provision device to exchange operating data associated with the operation of the electronic aerosol provision device, and a biometric sensor configured to measure a biometric parameter of the user of the electronic aerosol provision device and to communicate with the computing device to exchange sensor data indicating a measurement of the biometric parameter. The computing device is further configured to control an aspect of its operation relating to the electronic aerosol provision device in response to the sensor data received from the biometric sensor. The biometric sensor communicates with the computing device so that it is possible to provide a system with additional functionality that takes account of biometric measurements for the user of the electronic aerosol provision device and the computing device.
