BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 illustrates schematically a block diagram of an Internet washer according to the present invention.
Namely, an Internet washer according to the present invention mainly includes a network interface 110, an operation unit 120, a power control unit 130, a display unit 140, and a control unit 150. The network interface 110 is linked to an on-line remote control server 200 for remote control so as to receive/transmit various control data.
In this case, the remote control server 200 is a server in which a gateway program is installed to communicate with the respective home appliances remotely so as to be preferably built by a company as a manufacturer of the corresponding home appliance.
It is proposed as an embodiment that the network interface 110 is constructed with a network interface card (NIC) for enabling wire/wireless data communication.
Of course, the network interface 110 can be constructed with a port for data communication such as RS-232C. In this case, the port for data communication of the Internet washer is connected to a home automation system(or, additional PC, etc.) of the corresponding home, and built preferably so as to be interoperated with the home automation system.
And, the operation unit 120 constructing the
Internet washer according to the present invention is implemented so as to be controllable manually by a client.
The operation unit 120 includes a control panel using a general button or dial system as well as a touch screen.
And, the power control unit 130 carries out a function of controlling supply/cut-off of power to the Internet washer, or a function of maintain & release of a power saving mode.
In this case, the power saving mode is a status mode that a minimum power enabling to turn ΛON' a power of the Internet washer is provided by an electrical control while the power of the Internet washer is turned OFF' .
And, the display unit 140 caries out a function of displaying a current status of the Internet washer so that the client is informed of the current status, and
includes a general LCD, etc.
In this case, the current status of the Internet washer includes a manual operation status, operating status according to each control, on/off of remote control, reception of various information, and the like. Moreover, the display unit can be built to be separated from the foregoing-explained operation unit 120, or implemented together with the operation unit 120.
Namely, the operation unit 120 can carry out the function of the display unit if including the touch panel. And, the control unit 150 carries out a control according to an external signal received through the network interface 110 and an operation control according to an operation of the operation unit 120. In this case, the control unit 150 may be a general microcomputer (MICOM) which interoperates with other various components so as to perform operational controls for the respective components as a whole.
Methods of controlling the Internet washer using the above-mentioned constitution according to embodiments of the present invention are explained by referring to flowcharts in Figs. 2 to 4 as follows.
A control method according to a first embodiment of the present invention is for performing a power control of the .Internet washer when an external signal is
received through on-line.
This is explained in detail by referring to the flowchart in Fig. 2 as follows.
First of all, the control unit 150 checks continuously whether an external signal is received or not through the network interface 110 so as to enable the control (S110) .
In this case, the network interface 110 is linked on-line, thereby receiving signals relating to various controls or various information reports continuously from the home automation system built in the corresponding home, the remote control server 200 built at a remote place, or the server network enabling data communication with the Internet washer. The signals relating to the various controls may include signals of controlling on/off of power, strokes relating to various laundry works (washing, rinse, dehydration, etc), and the like.
The network interface 110 transfers data of the signal to the control unit 150 if receiving the external signal including a specific control command during the above process.
In this' case, the control unit 150 decodes the received external data signal so as to interpret the control command (S120) .
Namely, it is interpreted whether the data is the control command for on/off of the power, operation of the strokes relating to the various laundry works, or the various information reports. And, the control unit 150 carries out the power control in accordance with the interpreted control command.
For instance, if the interpreted control command is the command for turning ON' the power of the Internet washer, the' control unit 150 controls the power control unit 130 so as to turn ON' the power(S130).
On the contrary, if the interpreted control command is the command for turning λOFF' the power of the Internet washer, the control unit 150 controls the power control unit 130 so as to turn ΛOFF' the power (S130).
In this case, the control for the λOFF' of the power is a function provided for terminating forcibly a performance of the laundry stroke from a remote place if the client goes out after turning ON' the power of the Internet washer.
Moreover, if the interpreted control command is a control command relating to the stroke relating to the various laundry works, the control unit 150 controls the power control unit 130 so as to turn ΛON' the power (S170) , Thereafter, contents of the received information are
displayed through the display unit 140(S180).
In this case, the various information may include a report according to registration of new control data, a notification for various services, a message transmitted to the home client by a remote client, and the like.
A series of controls according to the first embodiment are preferably carried out when the power of the Internet washer is at the power saving mode, and can be performed when the laundry-relating strokes are in progress.
Meanwhile, a control method according to a second embodiment of the present invention enables to carry out a switch to the power saving mode in order to prevent unnecessary power consumption as well as another switch to a remote control mode if a manual operation of the Internet washer fails to be performed within a predetermined time.
This is explained in detail by referring to a flowchart in Fig. 3 as follows. First of all, the control unit 150 checks continuously that the power is turned λON' while the power of the Internet washer is being turned 0FF' initially (S210) .
In this case, the term of ON' of the power means a status that a power enabling the operation of the
Internet washer is being supplied thereto, and the other term of ΛOFF' of the power means a status that the power can be turned ΛON' by the control of the power control unit 130 even if the operation of the Internet washer is impossible.
Once the ΛON' of the power is achieved under the above status, the control unit 150 counts a time so as to check whether additional operation is carried out or not within a setup time T1(S220). In this case, the additional operation may be the manual operation of the client through the operation unit 120.
If the operation of the operation unit 120 fails to occur within the setup time during the above process, the control unit 150 connects the network interface 110 to the on-line server by session link.
Therefore, the Internet washer is set to the remote control mode enabling the remote control on-line (S230) .
If the operation of the operation unit 120 occurs within the setup time during the above process, the control unit 150 performs the control in accordance with the corresponding operation (S240) .
Of course, once the control is ended, the time count is carried out again from the very point of time so as to achieve a switch to the remote control mode status
if there is no additional operation within the setup time Tl.
Moreover, when the Internet washer is switched to the status of the remote control mode, the control unit 150 carries out a count of additional time(S250).
Thereafter, if operation of the operation unit 120 fails to occur within an additional setup time T2, the control unit 150 carries out a power control for changing the status of the Internet washer into the power saving mode(S260) .
For instance, if 5 minutes lapses while the Internet washer maintains the status of the remote control mode, the power control for changing the status into the power saving mode is carried out. In this case, the status change into the power saving mode is performed in a manner that the power of the Internet washer is turned ΛOFF' and a minimum power enabling to turn λON' of the power is provided by an electrical control only. If the operation of the operation unit 120 occurs within the additional setup time T2, the control unit 150 carries out a control according to the corresponding operation as well as a release of the remote control mode(S270) . Moreover, when the occurrence of the operation
through the operation unit 120 is performed at the status of the power saving mode, the releases of the power saving mode and the remote control mode are carried out simultaneously and a control according to the operation is carried out(S280).
Meanwhile, the control methods according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention are applied to a control method according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Namely, the control method according to the third embodiment of the present invention is the most preferable embodiment enabling to control effectively the Internet washer according to the present invention.
This is explained by referring to a flowchart in Fig. 4 as follows.
In this case, overlapped explanation with the description of the first and second embodiments for the detailed controls is skipped in the following description of the third embodiment of the present invention. First of all, an initial control status is equivalent to that of the second embodiment of the present invention.
Namely, if the operation occurrence of the operation unit 120 fails to be performed within a predetermined time Tl under the condition that a time is
counted (S310) while the power of the Internet washer is turned ΛON' , the control unit 150 makes the Internet washer be at the remote control mode(S320).
Detailed explanation for this is mentioned in the foregoing description, thereby being skipped in the following.
And, if a control of the operation unit 120 fails to be achieved within a predetermined time T2 of reception of the external signal fails to occur when a time is counted at the remote control mode status, the control unit 150 makes the Internet washer have a power saving mode status (S340) .
In this case, for the reception of the external signal, whether the signal is received or not can be interpreted on-line through the network interface 110 by having the control unit 150 communicate with the network interface 110 continuously.
If the reception of the external signal is made through the network interface 110 before the change into the power saving mode is carried out, the external signal is decoded (S350) , a control for this decoded control command is carried out(S360), and then a count of time is performed again from a point of time that the control is completed (S330) . Meanwhile, if operation of the operation unit 120
is achieved while the status of the power saving mode is maintained, the control unit 150 carries out releases of both of the power saving mode and remote control mode(S370) as well as performs a control in accordance with the corresponding operation (S380) .
On the other hand, if the reception of the external signal is achieved through the network interface 110 instead of the operation of the operation unit 120 while the status of the power saving mode is maintained, the release of the power saving mode is achieved only(S390). In this case, the release of the power saving mode means that the power is applied to the Internet washer so as to be changed into the status enabling a remote operation control. Namely, the status of the Internet washer is changed so as to be controllable only for the control command received through the network interface 110.
In this case, the control for the control command is explained in the description of the first embodiment of the present invention, whereby detailed explanation is skipped.
Of course, it is preferable that a duplicated operation control by a home client is prevented by having the display unit 140 display the contents that the remote control is being activated.
Yet, it is more preferable that the home client enables to terminate the remote control forcibly.
For this, the control unit 150 carries out the release of the remote control mode as well as the control in accordance with the operation command by manual operation.
