Information gathering and analysing appts. for information on current use condition of domestic electrical appliance

摘要

The appts. includes a microcomputer (10) associated with the domestic appliance to control the functions of the device and to determine a current use condition of the domestic appliance currently in use. A use pattern analysis microcomputer (20) stores the use condition data of a user which is input from the associated microcomputer (10) and also stores the different ambient data gathered in a memory. The use pattern analysis microcomputer (20) transmits the data to another element. A personal computer (30) receives and analyses the data which is transmitted from the use pattern analysis microcomputer (20) with a serial RS 232 communication method. The microcomputer (10) associated with the domestic appliance preferably has a key detector (11) to detect key operation and a temp. detector (12) to detect external temp. It may also have a control unit (13) to control different function of the domestic appliance.
