Electronic device including rotatable member and method for operating same
An electronic device including a rotatable member and an operating method in the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a rotatable member rotatably arranged outside a part of the housing, a display exposed through a part of a front surface of the housing, a memory arranged inside the housing, and at least one processor arranged inside the housing so as to be connected to the display and the memory electrically or functionally. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to control the display to display a first group including at least one object corresponding to at least one basic function on a screen of the display, and control the display to display a second group including at least one object corresponding to at least one additional function related to a user or the electronic device, together with the first group, on the screen in response to occurrence of an event.
Control panel for an apparatus, in particular for a domestic appliance, and a method for assembling said control panel
The present invention relates to a control panel for an apparatus, in particular for a domestic appliance. The control panel (10) comprises at least one front panel (12) including at least one cut-out (14). The control panel (10) comprises at least one inner panel (16) including a peripheral rabbet (18). Said peripheral rabbet (18) encloses at least partially the circumference of the inner panel (16), so that a smaller flat front portion and a bigger flat rear portion of said inner panel (16) are formed. The control panel (10) comprises at least one support frame (20) including at least one recess (22) at its front side. The support frame (20) is connected or connectable to the rear side of the front panel (12). The inner panel (16) is arranged or arrangeable between the front panel (12) and the support frame (20), so that the flat front portion of the inner panel (16) is received or receivable by the cut-out (14) of the front panel (12), while the flat rear portion of the inner panel (16) is received or receivable by the recess (22) of the support frame (20). Further, the present invention relates to a method for assembling a control panel for an apparatus, in particular for a domestic appliance.
SYSTEM HAVING A WATER-BEARING DOMESTIC APPLIANCE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A WATER-BEARING DOMESTIC APPLIANCE
A system includes water-bearing household appliance which includes a controller apparatus for executing a treatment program from a plurality of treatment programs, with each of the treatment programs being defined by program parameters. A memory device stores treatment programs in the form of a N-dimensional matrix, with the treatment programs being associated with matrix elements of the matrix respectively. Each matrix element is determinable by a respective one of defined N-dimensional input vectors. An input captures a user input to change a program parameter, and a selection unit selects one of the defined N-dimensional input vectors as a function of the captured user input, with a determining unit determining a matrix element from the matrix as a function of the selected input vector. The controller apparatus carries out the treatment program associated with the determined matrix element.
Status indicator and lighting assembly for an appliance door
A door assembly for an appliance includes an inner door, an outer door, and a lighting assembly positioned therebetween for illuminating a status indicator mounted on the outer door. The lighting assembly may include a mounting flange and a spring-loaded lighting board that engages an alignment feature mounted on the outer door when the door assembly is assembled, thereby aligning the light sources on the lighting board with the status indicator.
DISHWASHER WITH DUAL WATER ENTRY MODE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING WATER SUPPLY MODE THEREOF
Provided is a dual-mode water inlet dishwasher, comprising a shell, and an inner container, a spraying arm, a washing pump, a heating washing pump, and a respirator water tank which are provided in the shell. A water trough is provided in the inner container. A water inlet of the water trough is connected to the respirator water tank. A water outlet of the water trough is connected to the heating washing pump. The heating washing pump is connected to the spraying arm. The spraying arm sprays water to the inner container. The dishwasher integrates the functions of breathing, dual-mode water channel, anti-overflow and drainage. Also, the dishwasher has the features of simple structure, multi-function, and easy and convenient installation to facilitate the use by users.
User-interface system for a laundry appliance
A laundry appliance includes a cabinet. A door is coupled to the cabinet. The door is operable between an opened position and a closed position. An audio interface is disposed on the door. The audio interface includes a microphone for receiving a voice command and a speaker for projecting an audio output. A visual interface is disposed on the door. The visual interface is configured to display a message in response to at least one of the voice command and the audio output. A microcontroller is disposed on the door. The microcontroller is operably coupled to the audio interface and the visual interface. A proximity sensor is configured to communicate sensed information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to activate at least one of the audio interface and the visual interface in response to the sensed information.
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE WITH A USER INTERFACE
A method of assembly for a switch within a user interface for a home appliance includes housing a circuit board within the user interface. The circuit board has at least one mechanically actuated switch having a first area. An input interface of the user interface has a button defining a second area, greater than the first area, and having an actuator corresponding to the switch. The button is coupled to at least one of the circuit board or the input interface for relative movement between an actuation position, where the actuator actuates the switch, and a non-actuation position, where the actuator does not actuate the switch.
Systems and methods for performing a sous-vide cooking cycle in a dishwasher appliance
A method of controlling a dishwashing appliance may include determining that a cooking operation has been input to the dishwashing appliance via a mobile device, receiving an input option for the cooking operation via the mobile device, and activating the pump to supply a predetermined volume of fluid to the container at a predetermined temperature.
DISHWASHING APPLIANCES AND SENSOR ASSEMBLIES FOR DETECTING A POSITION OF AN APPLIANCE DOOR
A dishwashing appliance may include a cabinet, a door, and a sensor assembly. The cabinet may extend along a lateral direction between a first side and a second side. The cabinet may define a wash chamber for receipt of articles for washing. The door may extend along a vertical direction between a top end and a bottom end. The door may be rotatably mounted to the cabinet to move along a rotation path between an opened position and a closed position. The sensor assembly may be attached to the cabinet to detect a positional angle of the door. The sensor assembly may include a wave emission sensor directed at the rotation path to project an emitted wave and a wave reception sensor spaced apart from the wave emission sensor to receive a reflection of the emitted wave.
