INFORMATION OUTPUT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18503340 titled 'INFORMATION OUTPUT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an air conditioner with a communication unit, determination unit, output unit, and control unit. The communication unit receives information indicating that the air conditioner can be updated. The determination unit checks if the current time has reached a preset time, and the output unit then signals that the air conditioner can be updated.
- Communication unit receives first information
- Determination unit checks if current time has reached preset time
- Output unit signals that air conditioner can be updated
- Control unit triggers output unit when conditions are met

Unanswered Questions
How does the determination unit calculate the preset time for updates?
The abstract does not provide details on how the determination unit determines the preset time for updates. This could be a crucial aspect of the technology that needs further clarification.
What specific types of control information can be updated in the air conditioner?
The abstract mentions that the air conditioner can issue a notification indicating that control information is updatable, but it does not specify the exact types of control information that can be updated. This information could be important for understanding the scope of the technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
An air conditioner according to the disclosure includes a communication unit, a determination unit, an output unit, and a control unit. The communication unit receives first information. The first information indicates that update preparation for the air conditioner has been completed, the air conditioner being configured to issue a notification indicating that control information is updatable. The determination unit determines whether current time has reached preset first time. The output unit outputs the second information. The second information indicates that the air conditioner can be updated. When the communication unit receives the first information and the determination unit determines that the current time has reached the first time, the control unit makes the output unit to output the second information.
