Abstract
A server that monitors a water purification apparatus according to a voice command and the water purification apparatus are provided, and according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the server that monitors the water purification apparatus according to the voice command includes a voice processor that receives the voice command from the water purification apparatus and identifies a user who issues the voice command.
Claims11
A server for monitoring a water purification apparatus according to a voice command, the server comprising:
- a voice processor configured to receive the voice command from the water purification apparatus and identify a user who issues the voice command;
- a control processor configured to receive information on discharged water from the water purification apparatus and match the information on the discharged water to information on identification of the user and store the information on the discharged water and the information on identification of the user;
- and
- a communication unit configured to transmit and receive data to and from the water purification apparatus,
- wherein a time point at which the voice processor receives the voice command is a first time point,
- wherein a time point at which the control processor receives the information on the discharged water is a third time point,
- wherein the control processor is further configured to:
- generate a second time point at which the water purification apparatus starts discharging the water based on an amount of discharged water corresponding to the information on the discharged water;
- match the information on the discharged water to the information on identification of the user based on a time gap between the second time point and the first time point;
- and
- calculate the second time point in reverse by calculating a time amount for which the water purification apparatus discharges the water.
A water purification apparatus operating according to a voice command, the water purification apparatus comprising:
- a water purification module configured to discharge water;
- a voice input configured to receive voice;
- an interface configured to output an audio file or a text through voice;
- a communication unit configured to transmit and receive data to and from a server and transmit information on discharged water, discharged by the water purification module, to the server;
- a controller configured to control the water purification module according to a control command received from the server;
- and
- a human body detection sensor configured to detect a movement of a person in front,
- wherein when the human body detection sensor senses approach of the person, then the interface outputs a guide message, and
- wherein, after the water purification apparatus receives the voice and the communication unit transmits, to the server, an audio file in which the voice is stored, when the human body detection sensor detects that a person is moved in a rearward direction without discharging the water by the water purification module, the communication unit is configured to notify the server that the water discharge is canceled.
