==HOME APPLIANCE SYSTEM, MOBILE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HOME APPLIANCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18080269 titled 'HOME APPLIANCE SYSTEM, MOBILE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HOME APPLIANCES

==Simplified Explanation==

The disclosed home appliance system is designed to improve energy efficiency and convenience in doing laundry. It includes a washer, a dryer, an external server, and a mobile device for controlling the appliances through the server. Here are the key points:

* The mobile device can access energy peak time information from the external server, which includes specific billing information related to energy usage during peak hours.
* The mobile device provides a user interface for selecting a specific course of operation for the washer and dryer.
* The device calculates the total cycle time required for the selected course, considering both the washing and drying times.
* The mobile device also allows the user to decide whether to perform the selected course based on the energy peak time information and the estimated operation time.
* Once the user selects to perform the course, the mobile device transmits the relevant information to the external server.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Energy efficiency: By considering energy peak times and providing users with information on energy consumption, this system helps optimize energy usage and reduce costs.
* Convenience: The mobile device allows users to control and monitor their washer and dryer remotely, providing flexibility and convenience in managing laundry tasks.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Energy wastage: By avoiding energy peak times, the system helps reduce energy wastage and promotes more efficient energy usage.
* Inconvenience: The system eliminates the need for users to manually monitor energy peak times and adjust their laundry schedule accordingly.

Benefits of this technology:

* Cost savings: By utilizing energy peak time information, users can avoid higher energy rates during peak hours, resulting in potential cost savings.
* Time savings: The system calculates the total cycle time required for a specific course, allowing users to plan their laundry tasks more efficiently.
* Improved user experience: The mobile device interface and remote control capabilities enhance the overall user experience by providing convenience and flexibility in managing laundry appliances.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A disclosed home appliance system comprises: a washer for washing clothes; a dryer for drying the clothes; an external server for communicating with the washer and the dryer; and a mobile device for controlling the washer and the dryer through the external server, wherein the mobile device can: acquire energy peak time information including time-specific energy billing information from the external server; display a first user interface for receiving the selection of a first interworking course of sequentially operating the washer and the dryer; determine a first cycle time of the first interworking course including a first washing time of the washer and a first drying time of the dryer, the first cycle time being required in order to perform the first interworking course; display a second user interface for receiving the selection of whether to perform the first interworking course on the basis of the energy peak time information and the first operation time; and transmit first interworking course information to the external server in response to receiving the selection of performing the first interworking course.
