Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande (2) d'un appareil ménager (1) commandé par programme, qui comporte une zone de mémoire (18) dans laquelle il est possible d'écrire, des données de programme pouvant être transmises à cette zone de mémoire par une source de données (7) spatialement séparée, par télétransmission de données, en particulier par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau téléphonique (13) ou de l'Internet (14). Les données de programme transmises peuvent être intégrées par le dispositif de commande (2) à son ensemble de fonctions. De cette façon, le programme de commande du dispositif de commande (2) peut être modifié après-coup avec des données qui peuvent être extraites d'une source de données (7) centrale dans laquelle les données de programme peuvent être mémorisées en grande quantité et dans leur version la plus récente. Il est également possible d'équiper d'abord le dispositif de commande (2) seulement avec un programme de commande ne comportant pas de données de programme de fonctionnement, avec lequel des données de programme peuvent être fournies après-coup selon une télétransmission de données, les données de programme pouvant être transmises de façon ciblée en fonction du type exact de l'appareil ménager et/ou du lieu d'installation.
