Abstract
An air purifying system may include a main air purifier placed in an indoor space, a handheld air purifier mounted on the main air purifier, and an air quality sensor IOT device that communicates with the main air purifier. The air quality sensor IOT device may be fixed in an outdoor space adjacent to the indoor space, or may be carried by a user to measure air quality data while the user travels. The main air purifier may automatically operate based on air quality data received from the air quality sensor IOT device.
Claims19
An air filtering system, comprising:
- a first air purifier having a fan to suction air and a filter to filter air, the first air purifier being placed at a first position;
- and
- a first sensor device to sense air quality at a second position remote from the first position where the first air purifier placed at, to store the sensed air quality, and to transmit data corresponding to the sensed air quality to the first air purifier, wherein the first air purifier is controlled using the data of the sensed air quality received from the first sensor device.
An air purifying system, comprising:
- an air purifier having a fan to suction air, the air purifier being placed in an indoor space and configured to purify indoor air, and
- a sensor to sense air quality of an outdoor space outside of the indoor space and remote from the indoor space where the air purifier placed in, the sensor being configured to transmit data corresponding to the sensed air quality to the air purifier, wherein the fan of the air purifier is controlled based on the data of the sensed air quality received from the sensor.
An air purifying system, comprising:
- at least one air purifier placed in an indoor space;
- and
- an internet of things (IOT) device having an air quality sensor configured to sense air quality and time during a predetermined time period, the IOT device being configured to store the sensed air quality of an outdoor space remote from the indoor space where the air purifier placed in and time as time-air quality data, transmit the stored time-air quality data to the air purifier, and estimate at least one of a total amount of dust present on a user carrying the IOT device or whether the air purifier has operated during the predetermined time period.
An air purifying system, comprising:
- a main air purifier in an indoor space;
- a cleaner having a motor to suction air and a filter to filter dust from the suctioned air, the cleaner being one of a secondary air purifier and a vacuum cleaner;
- and
- a portable air quality sensor device, including:
- a case;
- an air quality sensor to sense a pollution level of ambient air;
- an output device configured to output at least one of text, image, or a sound based on a sensed pollution level;
- a timer or a clock to store time data corresponding to the sensed pollution level;
- a controller to estimate total amount of dust exposed to the IOT device based on the pollution level and time data;
- and
- a communication module to transmit at least one of the sensed pollution level, the time data, or the estimated total amount of dust to the main air purifier,
- wherein the portable air quality sensor device is configured to sense a pollution level of ambient air which is remote from the indoor space where the main air purifier placed at.
