WATER PURIFICATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18222884 titled 'WATER PURIFICATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a water purification apparatus that includes a dispenser with a user interface, a valve, a flow sensor, a memory, and a processor.
- The apparatus is designed to purify and dispense water.
- The user interface allows the user to control the start and stop of water discharge.
- The valve drive is connected to the valve and controls the opening and closing of the valve.
- The flow sensor measures the amount of water discharged.
- The memory stores instructions for the processor.
- The processor executes the instructions to control the valve drive, monitor the flow sensor, and interact with the user interface.
- When the user starts discharging water, the valve opens and the liquid is discharged.
- The flow sensor detects the amount of water discharged after the start.
- If the water discharge is stopped and then resumed, the user interface displays the total amount of water discharged before the stop and after the start.
Original Abstract Submitted
A water purification apparatus includes: a flow path; a dispenser provided at one end of the flow path; a user interface provided on the dispenser; a valve provided in the flow path; a valve drive operatively connected to the valve; a flow sensor provided in the flow path; a memory storing instructions; and a processor operatively connected to the user interface, the valve drive, the flow sensor, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to: control, based on an input obtained through the user interface, a start of discharging a liquid by controlling the valve drive to open the valve and discharge the liquid, identify, based on an output signal of the flow sensor, a discharged amount of the liquid after the start of discharging the liquid, and control, based on a resumption of discharging of the liquid after a stop of discharging the liquid, the user interface to display a total discharged amount of the liquid discharged before the stop of discharging of the liquid and after the start of discharging of the liquid.
