Description

    A HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE OPERATED IN ENCRYPTED MODE
  • The present invention relates to a household appliance operated in encrypted mode.
  • In household appliances, for example in washing machines, key lock functions in various types are used in order that the user interface functions such as program cancellation, program pause or new program start can be deactivated. In the state of the art, the key lock function is activated or deactivated as a result of using the key combination determined during the production of the appliance or by the service personnel. The user activates the key lock function by entering the key combination generally determined by the service personnel and changes the key lock function from the active mode to the passive mode again by the same key combination. However, sometimes it is desired that these key combinations are not known by other people. In such situations, the key lock function is activated or deactivated in an uncontrolled manner.
  • In the state of the art Japanese Patent Application No JP2000082352, in a household appliance, a child lock switch enables the operation switches to change from the unlocking mode to the locking mode or from the locking mode to the unlocking mode, and even when the child lock is activated, this does not affect the main power switch, and on – off functions of the machine are performed.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance that is enabled to be operated in a controlled and safe manner and that can be used in the encrypted mode.
  • The household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof comprises a control panel; an on/off button that is situated on the control panel and that has the function of turning on/turning of the household appliance; a program selection knob that is situated on the control panel and that is used to select programs such as cotton washing, wool washing, synthetic washing, etc.; more than one auxiliary function button that enables the auxiliary functions such as washing temperature, spin-drying speed, etc. of the selected program to be determined; a start/pause button that enables the selected program to be paused or started when desired and a display that allows the user to control the household appliance.
  • The household appliance of the present invention comprises an encrypted mode button that is used for activating the encrypted mode and disposed on the control panel and a control unit that allows the character (1, 2, 3, A, B, C..) combinations selected by means of the program selection knob after the encrypted mode button is triggered to be defined as codes.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the household appliance comprises a control unit that enables the user to be warned by different audio tones while determining letters (A, B, C, ..) or numbers (1, 2, 3, ..) defined by the program selection knob in order to determine the code. Thus, the user can sense audibly which letters (A, B, C, ..) or numbers (1, 2, 3, ..) he/she selects.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit allows the definition of a new code after the encrypted mode button is pressed again when the code has been defined. Thus, the household appliance can be operated by more than one code.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the household appliance comprises a control unit that allows the number of utilization of the code to be defined again by means of the program selection knob after the code is defined.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the household appliance comprises a control unit that allows the encrypted mode to be cancelled if the predetermined code is entered twice successively after the encrypted mode button is triggered while the encrypted mode is active.
  • The household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is illustrated in the attached figures, where:
  • Figure 1 – is the perspective view of a household appliance.
  • Figure 2 – is the schematic view of a control panel and a control unit in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • The elements illustrated in the figures are numbered as follows:
