Patent number: 9568515Abstract: A system of domestic appliances is provided, wherein the domestic appliances are operated from a branch of an, in particular public, supply system for electrical energy at a customary system frequency, wherein, in particular, the consumed energy which is supplied to the branch can be detected, and wherein a display and measurement unit is present, allowing the energy consumed by an individual domestic appliance to be displayed and measured. In this case, the functioning thereof for determining the consumption of the individual domestic appliance is based on the analysis of a characteristic structure, which can be assigned to the individual domestic appliance, of current and/or voltage profiles within system period time intervals during operation of the individual domestic appliance, wherein, for individual domestic appliances of which the inherent characteristic structure is small, the characteristic structure can be formed or added to by a structure generator.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2012Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: BSH Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Gerhard Fuchs, Claudia Häpp, Ingo Pietsch

Publication number: 20130092032Abstract: The technology disclosed herein relates to intelligent home/residential cooking appliances and interactive content that is interpretable to send instructions to such intelligent cooking appliances, as well as associated systems and/or methods for generating and/or processing the same. In certain instances, an intelligent home/residential appliance may receive and/or display the content for a user and, at appropriate times, possibly prompt a user to take actions or automatically take appropriate actions for the user. Such activities advantageously may prompt a user in some examples to more actively participate in, and/or interact with, a cooking show or program. A user therefore may be more immersed in a cooking experience and feel more comfortable trying out new recipes, given the expectation that the cooking appliance itself may help to resolve problems as they arise and/or suggest solutions to detected abnormalities.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2011Publication date: April 18, 2013Applicant: BSH HOME APPLIANCES CORPORATIONInventors: Alicia Cafferty, John Farley, Claudia Häpp, Benjamin King, Jürgen Riesmeyer
