HOME APPLIANCE, AND METHOD FOR OUTPUTTING INFORMATION ABOUT HOME APPLIANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18397819 titled 'HOME APPLIANCE, AND METHOD FOR OUTPUTTING INFORMATION ABOUT HOME APPLIANCE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for outputting information related to a second home appliance by grouping it with a first home appliance and activating a group mode for operation. The method involves controlling a communication interface to receive information related to the operations of the second home appliance and outputting this information through a user interface while the group mode is activated.

  • Obtaining group information to group the first and second home appliances
  • Activating a group mode for operating the first home appliance as an assistant device of the second home appliance
  • Controlling a communication interface to receive information related to operations of the second home appliance
  • Outputting the information related to the operations of the second home appliance through a user interface

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in smart home systems, home automation, and IoT devices to enhance the user experience and streamline the operation of multiple appliances.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing and controlling multiple home appliances by grouping them together and allowing for seamless communication and operation.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved convenience for users, increased efficiency in managing home appliances, and enhanced functionality of smart home systems.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include smart home automation systems, IoT device manufacturers, and companies offering home appliance integration services.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the concept of grouping devices in a smart home system to streamline operations and improve user experience.

What are the specific communication channels used for establishing connections between the home appliances in this method?

The abstract mentions controlling a communication interface to receive information related to the operations of the second home appliance through a communication channel established based on communication connection information. However, it does not specify the specific communication channels used for this purpose.

How does the method ensure the security and privacy of the information exchanged between the home appliances?

The abstract describes the communication between the home appliances for exchanging information related to operations, but it does not detail the security measures or protocols in place to ensure the privacy and security of the exchanged information.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, for outputting information related to a second home appliance. The method includes: obtaining group information for grouping the first home appliance and the second home appliance by assigning the first home appliance as an assistant device and assigning the second home appliance as an actually used device; activating a group mode for operating the first home appliance as an assistant device of the second home appliance, based on the group information; controlling a communication interface to receive information related to operations of the second home appliance from the second home appliance assigned as the actually used device, through a communication channel established based on communication connection information of the second home appliance, the communication channel to connect to the second home appliance; and outputting the information related to the operations of the second home appliance through a first user interface, while the group mode is activated.
