Abstract: An air-quality detection apparatus is disclosed. The air-quality detection apparatus includes a casing body including a bottom and a side wall extending upwards from the circumference of the bottom, a first printed circuit board (PCB) disposed horizontally above the bottom, a temperature/humidity sensor mounted on the bottom surface of the first PCB, a second PCB disposed horizontally above the first PCB, and a CO2 sensor mounted on the second PCB.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air-quality detection apparatus including a casing body including a bottom and a side wall, a first printed circuit board (PCB) disposed horizontally above the bottom, a second PCB disposed horizontally in a first region above the first PCB, a CO2 sensor mounted on the second PCB, a volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor mounted in a second region on the first PCB that is closer to the side wall than the first region, a third PCB, which is disposed horizontally at a position spaced further upwards apart from the bottom than the first PCB and at least a portion of which is disposed in a third region that does not overlap the first PCB when the bottom is viewed from above, a fourth PCB disposed horizontally above the second PCB and the third PCB, and a dust sensor mounted on the fourth PCB.

Abstract: Provided is a smart home appliance. The smart home appliance includes: a voice input unit collecting a voice; a voice recognition unit recognizing a text corresponding to the voice collected through the voice input unit; a capturing unit collecting an image for detecting a user's visage or face; a memory unit mapping the text recognized by the voice recognition unit and a setting function and storing the mapped information; and a control unit determining whether to perform a voice recognition service on the basis of at least one information of image information collected by the capturing unit and voice information collected by the voice input unit.

Abstract: Provided are an acoustic sensor and a home appliance system comprising the same. The acoustic sensor comprises a communication unit, a microphone to collect an acoustic signal, a memory to store a failure acoustic signal of a home appliance, and a processor, wherein in response to the acoustic signal, collected by the microphone, corresponding to the failure acoustic signal of the home appliance, the processor transmits the collected acoustic signal, or data corresponding to the collected acoustic signal, to an external server or a terminal. Accordingly, failure of the home appliance may be easily diagnosed.
