HOME APPLIANCE AND POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS FOR DETECTING EMPTY HEATING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18326564 titled 'HOME APPLIANCE AND POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS FOR DETECTING EMPTY HEATING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a wireless power transmission apparatus that can determine if a cooking appliance is undergoing empty heating.

  • The apparatus includes a processor and a communication interface to interact with the cooking appliance.
  • The communication interface receives temperature data from the cooking appliance, including the temperature of the bottom surface and the internal temperature.
  • The processor analyzes the temperature data for two time periods: during a heating operation and after the heating operation is stopped.
  • The processor stops the heating operation for the second time period.
  • Based on the relationship between the temperature of the bottom surface and the internal temperature during the second time period, the processor determines if the cooking appliance is undergoing empty heating.
  • This technology can help prevent energy waste and potential damage to the cooking appliance by detecting when it is heating without any food or liquid inside.


Original Abstract Submitted

A wireless power transmission apparatus for determining empty heating is provided. The wireless power transmission apparatus includes at least one processor configured to control a communication interface configured to communicate with a cooking appliance, wherein the communication interface is further configured to receive, from the cooking appliance, a temperature of a bottom surface of the cooking appliance and an internal temperature of the cooking appliance for a first time period during which a heating operation is performed and for a second time period following the first time period, during which the heating operation is stopped, and the at least one processor is further configured to stop the heating operation for the second time period, and determine whether the cooking appliance undergoes empty heating based on a relationship between the temperature of the bottom surface and the internal temperature for the second time period.
