Abstract
The present invention discloses a clogging detecting system for a dryer which can display a clogging degree or state of an air passage to the user through a remote controlling device. The clogging detecting system for the dryer includes the dryer for judging the clogging degree of the air passage, and sending the clogging degree to a remote controlling device, and the remote controlling device for receiving the clogging degree from the dryer, and displaying the clogging degree through a display unit.
Claims17
A clogging detecting system for a dryer, comprising:
- a processor to judge a state of an air passage of the dryer and to send a signal indicative of the state to a remote controlling device;
- and
- a remote controlling device to receive the signal indicative of the state and to display an indication of the state through a display unit, wherein:
- the remote controlling device sends a request command for the state of the air passage to the dryer,
- the processor judges and sends information indicative of the state to the remote controlling device, and
- the remote controlling device displays an indication of the state wherein the state is one of a clogging degree and a non-clogging state and wherein display unit displays the indication of the clogging degree by at least two steps or the indication of the non-clogging state.
An interface device for a remote controlling device, comprising:
- a communication circuit to receive a signal indicative of an air passage of a dryer;
- a display to display an indication of the clogging degree;
- a controller to apply a display signal corresponding to the received clogging degree to the display;
- and
- a user input device to request the clogging degree of the air passage to the dryer, wherein the state includes a clogging degree and a non-clogging state and wherein the display displays the clogging degree by at least two steps and the non-clogging state.
A remote controlling device, comprising:
- a communication circuit to communicate with a dryer;
- a controller to control the communication circuit to receive a signal indicative of a clogging degree of an air passage from the dryer;
- a display, interworking with the controller, to display an indication of the clogging degree;
- and
- an input device to acquire a request command for the clogging degree of the air passage from a user, wherein the state is one of a clogging degree and a non-clogging state and wherein display unit displays the indication of the clogging degree by at least two steps or the indication of the non-clogging state.
