  • Patent number: 12092598
    Abstract: Disclosed are state monitoring method and system for a heating device including a conductive path that electrically series-connects heating elements. The method includes obtaining a potential difference of a conductive path portion including at least one of the heating elements, obtaining monitoring information used to monitor a state of the heating elements, and determining occurrence of an anomaly in the conductive path portion based on the obtained monitoring information. The step of obtaining the potential difference includes obtaining a first potential difference of a first conductive path portion and obtaining a second potential difference of a second conductive path portion that differs from the first conductive path portion. The monitoring information includes comparison information obtained by comparing potential differences including the first potential difference and the second potential difference.
