Abstract
A method of operating a first domestic appliance associated with a user account and a second domestic appliance associated with the user account may include receiving a parameter signal including a parameter value from the first domestic appliance. The method may also identifying the parameter value as corresponding to a sharable parameter. The method further include recording the parameter value within a sharable field set of a pre-constructed table, after which the parameter value may be shared or analyzed further.
Claims18
A method of operating a first domestic appliance associated with a user account and a second domestic appliance associated with the user account, the method comprising:
- receiving a parameter signal comprising a parameter value from the first domestic appliance associated with the user account;
- identifying the parameter value as corresponding to a sharable parameter, wherein a
- sharable field set comprises an appliance location field indicating a relative location for the first domes tic appliance;
- recording the parameter value within the sharable field set of a pre-constructed table;
- initiating, subsequent to recording the parameter value and according to a conditional setting of the pre-constructed table, operation of the second domestic appliance associated with the user account based on the parameter value;
- determining an excessive variation in the parameter value;
- and
- changing the appliance location field to indicate an updated location for the first domestic appliance;
- wherein determining the excessive variation comprises determining the parameter value is greater than a set threshold value based on a plurality of past parameter values from the first domestic appliance.
A method of operating a first domestic appliance associated with a user account and a second domestic appliance associated with the user account, the method comprising:
- receiving a parameter signal comprising a parameter value from the first domestic appliance associated with the user account;
- identifying the parameter value as corresponding to a sharable parameter, wherein a sharable field set comprises an appliance location field indicating a relative location for the first domestic appliance;
- recording the parameter value within the sharable field set of a pre-constructed table;
- and
- initiating, subsequent to recording the parameter value and according to a conditional setting of the pre-constructed table, operation of the second domestic appliance associated with the user account based on the parameter value,
- wherein a designated location of the second domestic appliance matches to the relative location for the first domestic appliance, and
- wherein the conditional setting comprises a location matching requirement between the first domestic appliance and the second domestic appliance,
- wherein the sharable field set comprises an appliance location field indicating a relative location for the first domestic appliance.
