METHOD, DEVICE AND SOFTWARE MODULE FOR A SOFTWARE-ENGINEERED REPRODUCTION OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF AN ACTUAL DOMESTIC APPLIANCE IN A MODEL

摘要

A method for a software-engineered reproduction of the behavior of an actual domestic appliance in a model, which is connected to the domestic appliance via a bi-directional connecting device, by which current states of the relevant domestic appliance are transmitted to the model and actions are executed on the domestic appliance. The model is merely described declaratively by way of graph structures with regard to the appliance parameters which indicate the appliance behavior. Appliance states and transition conditions between appliance states of the relevant domestic appliance are retained in a status graph software and it is checked by means of a control graph software whether a specific action can be executed in the respective appliance state of the relevant domestic appliance or with specified parameter combinations. An appliance information software contains all the information on the available status variables and actions of the relevant domestic appliance.
