Control profile managing method and apparatus
According to an example, to manage a control profile, it is possible to receive a control profile from a first electronic device of at least one seller, store the control profile, and transmit a target control profile selected by a target user from among a plurality of stored control profiles to a second electronic device of the target user.
1 . A server for performing a control profile managing method, the server comprising:
a memory configured to store a program for managing a control profile; and
a processor configured to execute the program,
wherein the processor is configured to perform:
providing, to a first electronic device of at least one seller, a template related to heating operation of an aerosol generating device;
receiving a control profile which is generated based on the template, from the first electronic device;
storing the control profile;
transmitting a target control profile selected by a target user from among a plurality of control profiles stored to a second electronic device of the target user; and
providing a reward to the at least one seller when the target user selects the control profile,
wherein an aerosol is provided to the target user as the second electronic device is controlled by the target control profile.
2 . The server of claim 1 , wherein
the control profile is generated by the at least one seller,
wherein the receiving the control profile comprises, based on at least one of a heating temperature value or a heating time value of the control profile received by the server is out of a predetermined threshold range;
transmitting an instruction to display a warning message on a display of the first electronic device; and/or
automatically blocking reception of a control profile out of a predetermined numerical range; and/or
setting a value of the at least one of the heating temperature value or the heating time value that is out of the predetermined threshold range to a maximum value or a minimum value of the predetermined threshold range.
3 . The server of claim 1 , wherein
the control profile is used by the second electronic device to control a temperature of a heating unit during a period in which the target user inhales through the second electronic device.
4 . The server of claim 1 , wherein
the program is further configured to perform:
receiving a review of the target control profile from the target user; and
registering the review in association with the target control profile.
5 . The server of claim 1 , wherein
the program is further configured to perform:
providing a follow function between users of the server; and
providing follow rankings of the users to the target user based on the follow function.
