Abstract:
Disclosed are a cooking apparatus and a touch sensor assembly. The touch sensor assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an outer cover formed of a metallic material and configured to form a part of an exterior of the cooking apparatus; and a touch module installed to be in contact with a rear surface of the outer cover, and having a plurality of touch sensors, wherein a touching part which is formed by machining a rear surface of the outer cover which is in contact with the touch sensor, and easily elastically deformed when being touched by a user, and thus transfers a pressure to the touch sensor is formed.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a hob (100) with free configurable heating array (115) and touchscreen control (130). A user may combine graphic representations (145) and (150) of a first and a second pot in order to combine a control operation of a first and a second heating zone (107, 112) associated to the respective pots. In this manner, plural heating zones can be combined by a single input, and visibility on the touchscreen control is improved by uniting both representations of the pots on the touchscreen control display. Combining/separating heating zones can be effected by the synchronous movement of two fingers uniting the two graphic representations of the pots on the touchscreen respectively diverging the two graphic representations of the pots on the touchscreen (130). A computer program product (500) allows to easily and freely configure the hob (100) and to perform maintenance and mass production.

Abstract:
Ein Haushaltsgerät (1) ist mit mindestens einem Bedienelement (5a-e), insbesondere Sensortaste, zum Einstellen mindestens eines Einstellparameters des Haushaltsgeräts (1) ausgestattet, wobei das Haushaltsgerät (1) dazu eingerichtet ist, eine Fehlbetätigung des Bedienelements (5a-e) zu erkennen (S3) und wobei das Haushaltsgerät (1) dazu eingerichtet ist, mindestens einen dem fehlbetätigten Bedienelement (5a-e) zugeordneten Einstellparameter (KS) automatisch auf einen unmittelbar vor der Fehlbetätigung gültigen Wert zurückzusetzen (S5). Ein Verfahren dient zum Betreiben eines Haushaltsgeräts (1), bei dem eine Fehlbetätigung des Bedienelements (5a-e) erkannt wird (S3), wobei mindestens ein dem fehlbetätigten Bedienelement (5a-e) zugeordneter Einstellparameter automatisch auf einen unmittelbar vor der Fehlbetätigung gültigen Wert zurückgesetzt wird (S5).
Abstract:
The present application in particular is directed to a cooktop-interface 2 comprising at least one display device 5, a display sign layer 3 comprising at least one display sign provided in connection with the display device 5 and a back illumination lighting 4 for projecting the at least one display sign to a lower side of a cooktop-panel 1 arranged upstream the back illumination lighting 4 and display sign layer 3.
Abstract:
A laundry system (1) includes a home terminal device (3) and laundry apparatus (4). The terminal device includes a first short-range communication device (8), a long-range communication device (7), and a terminal device controller (9) transmitting information about laundry and information about a laundry constraint to a server (2) connected to an Internet (5), thereby obtaining an operation control program for the laundry apparatus. The terminal device controller transfers the obtained operation control program via the first short-range communication device to the laundry apparatus and receives via the first short-range communication device information about an operating state of the laundry apparatus. The laundry apparatus includes a second short-range communication device (15), a laundry apparatus controller (17), and a laundry unit (16). The laundry apparatus controller receives the operation control program via the second short-range communication device from the terminal device to control the laundry unit and transfers the information about the operating state of the laundry apparatus via the second short-range communication device to the terminal device.
