DRYING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18086255 titled 'DRYING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a drying device and a method for controlling it. The device includes a drum, a driving unit, a heater, a communication interface, and a processor.

  • The drum is used to hold the items to be dried.
  • The driving unit is responsible for rotating the drum in a preset pattern.
  • The heater heats the air supplied to the drum's interior.
  • The communication interface allows for data exchange with external sensing devices.
  • The processor controls the driving unit and the heater based on user commands and data received from the sensing devices.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Household clothes dryers
  • Industrial drying machines
  • Food dehydrators
  • Laboratory equipment for drying samples

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient and effective drying of various items
  • Automatic adjustment of drying cycle based on motion and humidity data
  • Improved energy efficiency by optimizing drying process

Benefits of this technology:

  • Faster and more precise drying
  • Reduced energy consumption
  • Enhanced user convenience with automated drying cycles
  • Improved drying results with customized settings based on sensing device data.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides a drying device and a method for controlling same. The drying device of the present disclosure may comprise: a drum; a driving unit; a heater to heat air supplied to the interior of the drum; a communication interface; and a processor that: when a user command for a drying cycle is received, controls the driving unit so as to rotate the drum in a preset pattern; when data generated on a basis of motion of a sensing device is received through the communication interface from at least one sensing device, identifies a sensing device that has a motion corresponding to the preset pattern among the at least one sensing device; and controls the driving unit and the heater so as to perform a drying cycle on the basis of humidity data received through the communication interface from the identified sensing device.
