Abstract
A contamination information estimation system includes a camera that captures an image of a drain pan in a casing of an air conditioner, and an estimator that estimates contamination information related to contamination on the drain pan on the basis of image data captured by the camera and operation data of the air conditioner and/or environment data related to an environment in which the air conditioner is provided.
Claims8
A contamination information estimation system comprising:
- an imager configured to capture an image of a suction portion of a drain pump or a discharge pipe of the drain pump in a casing of an air treatment device;
- a processor configured to estimate contamination information on the suction portion of the drain pump or the discharge pipe of the drain pump based on an estimation model created by machine learning using, as input data, image data captured by the imager and operation data of the air treatment device and/or environment data related to an environment in which the air treatment device is provided;
- and
- a notifier configured to output the contamination information as a notification to a service provider, wherein the notification enables the suction portion of the drain pump or the discharge pipe of the drain pump in the casing to be cleaned based on the outputted contamination information.

A contamination information estimation system comprising:
- an imager configured to capture an image of a drain pan, a suction portion of a drain pump, or a discharge pipe of the drain pump in a casing of an air treatment device;
- a processor configured to estimate contamination information on the drain pan, the suction portion of the drain pump, or the discharge pipe of the drain pump based on an estimation model created by machine learning using, as input data, image data captured by the imager, operation data of the air treatment device, and environment data related to an environment in which the air treatment device is provided;
- and
- a notifier configured to output the contamination information as a notification to a service provider, wherein the notification enables the drain pan, the suction portion of the drain pump, or the discharge pipe of the drain pump in the casing to be cleaned based on the outputted contamination information,
- wherein the operation data includes at least one of a temperature of a heat exchanger included in the casing, a control parameter used to drive a fan included in the casing, an angle of a flap provided in the casing, a time period during which an inflow of a refrigerant into the heat exchanger is stopped, or a number of rotations of the drain pump included in the casing.
