Abstract
Provided are a method and device for supplying power to a heating element. A method of estimating a temperature of a heated object includes: supplying power to a heating element for a predetermined period of time, the heating element being configured for contacting an object and for joule heating; obtaining momentary current values corresponding to the power at two or more respective points of time from a plurality of points of time included in the predetermined period of time; determining a characteristic of the object using at least one of the momentary current values; and estimating a temperature of the object based on a parameter calculated based on the momentary current values and the characteristic.
Claims14
A method of estimating a temperature of a heated object, the method comprising:
- supplying power to a heating element for a predetermined period of time, the heating element being configured for contacting an object and for joule heating;
- obtaining momentary current values corresponding to the power at two or more respective points of time from a plurality of points of time included in the predetermined period of time;
- determining a characteristic of the object using at least one of the momentary current values;
- and
- estimating a temperature of the object based on a parameter calculated based on the momentary current values and the characteristic.
A device for estimating a temperature of a heated object, the device comprising:
- a memory having at least one program stored therein;
- and
- a processor configured to perform calculation by executing the at least one program,
- wherein the processor is configured to
- supply power to a heating element for a predetermined period of time, the heating element being configured for contacting an object and for joule heating, obtain momentary current values corresponding to the power at two or more respective points of time from a plurality of points of time included in the predetermined period of time, determine a characteristic of the object using at least one of the momentary current values, and estimate a temperature of the object based on a parameter calculated based on the momentary current values and the characteristic.
