    Abstract: An induction heating device includes an induction heating circuit, a sensor configured to measure current applied to the induction heating circuit, and a controller. The controller includes: a switch driving unit configured to control operation of an inverter unit and to allow a resonance of the current, a container sensing unit, and a control unit. The container sensing unit is configured to: convert a first current value before the resonance into a first voltage value; control the switch driving unit to charge a working coil; compare the first voltage value with a resonance reference value; convert a second current value after the resonance into a second voltage value; generate one or more output pulses; and compare the second voltage value with a count reference value. The control unit is configured to determine whether an object is present on the working coil based on the one or more output pulses.

    Abstract: Provided is an induction heating type cooktop that senses overheating of a thin film to prevent the thin film from being overheated. The induction heating type cooktop includes a case, a cover plate coupled to an upper end of the case and configured to comprise an upper plate, on which an object to be heated is disposed on a top surface thereof, a thin film applied on the upper plate, a working coil configured to generate magnetic fields for heating the object to be heated, and a controller configured to determine whether the thin film is overheated and reduce an output level when the thin film is overheated.
