    Abstract: Provided is an aerosol generating apparatus including: a heater configured to heat an aerosol generating article inserted into an accommodation space of the aerosol generating apparatus; a sensing module including at least one of an inductive sensor configured to detect a change in an inductance of the accommodation space or a temperature sensor configured to detect a change in a temperature of the heater; and a processor configured to: detect, via the sensing module, whether the aerosol generating article that is inserted into the accommodation space is at least partially moved from the accommodation space; and based on detecting that the aerosol generating article is at least partially moved from the accommodation space, control a power supply to the heater, based on at least one of the change in the inductance or the change in the temperature acquired via the sensing module.

    Abstract: A method, performed by an aerosol generating device, of performing a self-diagnosis, includes: when the aerosol generating device does not normally operate by an error, determining whether to activate the self-diagnosis for analyzing the error of the aerosol generating device; when the self-diagnosis is activated, performing a function self-test by checking whether each of functions required for a normal heating operation of the aerosol generating device is operative; determining a faulty component of the aerosol generating device based on a result of the function self-test; determining a faulty function of the faulty component based on an error log recorded in the aerosol generating device; determining a severity of the determined faulty function; and outputting a final diagnosis result with respect to the self-diagnosis based on the faulty component, the faulty function, and the severity.
