Abstract
A method of controlling a computer processing component of a depilatory wax heating apparatus to perform operations including at least determining when to activate based on one or more first parameters; turning on a heating element based on a determination of when to activate; controlling temperature of the heating element based on one or more second parameters; and deactivating the heating element based on one or more third parameters.
Claims7
A method of remotely controlling a depilatory wax heating apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- establishing a wireless communication link to a computer processing component of a depilatory wax heating apparatus using a software program installed on a controller device, wherein the software program is configured to send instructions to the computer processing component of the depilatory wax heating apparatus and the depilatory wax heating apparatus is further comprised of a heating component communicably linked to the computer processing component;
- sending instructions to the computer processing component of a depilatory wax heating apparatus over the at least partially wireless network using the controller device wherein the computer processing component will perform the instructions once they are sent even if the substantially wireless communication link is later broken;
- using the controller device to configure the computer processing component with a plurality of parameters, wherein the parameters comprise at least a minimum temperature parameter, a maximum temperature parameter, an activation time parameter, a deactivation time parameter, and a duration parameter;
- instructing the computer processing component to activate the heating component at a first time determined by the activation time parameter, and to deactivate the heating component based at a second time determined by the deactivation time parameter;
- instructing the computer processing component to deactivate a heating component of a depilatory wax heating apparatus if the temperature of a depilatory wax exceeds the amount set in the maximum temperature parameter regardless of whether a deactivation time parameter bas been reached;
- instructing the computer processing component to activate a heating component if the temperature of the depilatory wax drops below the amount set for the minimum temperature parameter provided that the deactivation time parameter was not the last to occur between the deactivation time parameter and the activation time parameter;
- instructing the computer processing component to deactivate the heating component if an amount of time has passed as determined by the duration parameter;
- and
- placing a removable skin on the depilatory wax heating apparatus, the removable skin is made of a temperature sensitive material, wherein when the skin changes color, a user is alerted that the depilatory wax inside the depilatory wax heating apparatus has fully melted or reached too high a temperature.
