METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETECTING CONTAMINATION OF FILTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240100458 titled 'METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETECTING CONTAMINATION OF FILTER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and electronic device for detecting contamination of a filter by monitoring the revolutions per minute (rpm) of a fan motor.

  • When the rpm of the fan motor exceeds a target rpm, a stabilization time is detected from when the rpm reaches the target rpm to when it is maintained within a reference rpm difference.
  • If the stabilization time is greater than a filter replacement threshold time, a notification to replace the filter is displayed on a screen.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in air purifiers, HVAC systems, and industrial filtration systems to ensure optimal performance and air quality.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in detecting filter contamination in a timely manner, ensuring efficient operation of the system and preventing potential health hazards from contaminated air.

Benefits

- Improved air quality - Energy efficiency - Cost savings by timely filter replacements

Potential Commercial Applications

"Smart Filter Contamination Detection Technology for HVAC Systems"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to monitoring fan motor performance for filter contamination detection, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the electronic device determine the reference rpm difference for detecting filter contamination?

The patent application does not detail the specific method used to establish the reference rpm difference for detecting filter contamination.

What types of filters are compatible with this technology?

The patent application does not specify the types of filters that can be used with this contamination detection method.


Original Abstract Submitted

provided are a method and an electronic device for detecting contamination of a filter. when a revolutions per minute (rpm) of a fan motor increases so as to exceed a target rpm, a stabilization time is detected from a time point when the rpm of the fan motor reaches the target rpm to a time point when the rpm of the fan motor is maintained within a reference rpm difference with respect to the target rpm. when it is determined that the detected stabilization time is greater than a filter replacement threshold time, a notification to replace the filter is displayed on a display.
