Appliance state recognition device and methods
Embodiments herein relate to recognition of an appliance state based on sensor data and determination of a response based at least in part on the appliance state. In various embodiments, an apparatus to recognize an appliance state may include a sensor data module to identify sensor data in one or more signals relating to data from one or more sensors associated with an appliance, an appliance state recognition module to determine an appliance state of the appliance based at least in part on the sensor data, a response module to determine a response based at least in part on the appliance state, and a transmission module to send the response to at least one of an appliance controller for the appliance or a presentation device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
1. At least one non-transitory persistent storage medium comprising instructions that, when downloaded to a mobile device and executed, cause a processor of the mobile device to at least:
identify a state of a kitchen appliance based on sensor data of the kitchen appliance from a wireless network connection;
determine a recommendation based on the state of the kitchen appliance and an indication of whether a person is present in a building in which the kitchen appliance is located, the indication based on presence data from the wireless network connection;
cause a display to present the recommendation to a user; and
cause a change in the state of the kitchen appliance in response to a user input associated with the recommendation.
2. The non-transitory persistent storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data includes temperature data from a temperature sensor associated with the kitchen appliance.
3. The non-transitory persistent storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor of the mobile device to cause the change in the state of the kitchen appliance by transmitting a command via the wireless network connection to the kitchen appliance.
4. The non-transitory persistent storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the recommendation is a recommendation to a user to perform an action on the kitchen appliance.
5. The non-transitory persistent storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the display is part of a smartphone.
6. A mobile device comprising:
a display;
wireless communication circuitry;
processor circuitry; and
at least one storage device including computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor circuitry to:
identify a state of a kitchen appliance based on sensor data from the kitchen appliance received by the wireless communication circuitry via a wireless network connection;
determine a recommendation based on the state of the kitchen appliance and an indication of whether a person is present in a building in which the kitchen appliance is located, the indication based on presence data received by the wireless communication circuitry from the wireless network connection;
cause the display to present the recommendation to a user; and
cause a change in the state of the kitchen appliance in response to a user input associated with the recommendation.
7. The mobile device of claim 6 , wherein the mobile device is at least one of a smartphone, a tablet, or a laptop.
8. The mobile device of claim 6 , wherein the sensor data includes temperature data from a temperature sensor associated with the kitchen appliance.
9. The mobile device of claim 6 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor circuitry to cause the change in the state of the kitchen appliance by transmitting a command to the kitchen appliance over the wireless network connection, via the wireless communication circuitry.
10. The mobile device of claim 6 , wherein the recommendation is a recommendation to a user to perform an action with respect to the kitchen appliance.
11. A mobile device comprising:
means for displaying;
means for wirelessly communicating;
means for processing; and
means for storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processing means to:
identify a state of a kitchen appliance based on sensor data from the kitchen appliance received by the wireless communications means via a wireless network connection;
determine a recommendation based on the state of the kitchen appliance and an indication of whether a person is present in a building in which the kitchen appliance is located, the indication based on presence data received by the wireless communications means from the wireless network connection;
cause the displaying means to present the recommendation to a user; and
cause a change in the state of the kitchen appliance in response to a user input associated with the recommendation.
12. The mobile device of claim 11 , wherein the mobile device is at least one of a smartphone, a tablet, or a laptop.
13. The mobile device of claim 11 , wherein the sensor data includes temperature data from a temperature sensor associated with the kitchen appliance.
14. The mobile device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processing means to cause the change in the state of the kitchen appliance by transmitting a command to the kitchen appliance over the wireless network connection, via the wireless communications means.
15. The mobile device of claim 11 , wherein the recommendation is a recommendation to a user to change a condition of the kitchen appliance.
16. A server comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including instructions to be distributed to a mobile device, the instructions, when executed, cause the mobile device to at least:
identify a state of a kitchen appliance based on sensor data of the kitchen appliance from a wireless network connection;
determine a notification based on the state of the kitchen appliance and an indication of whether a person is present in a building in which the kitchen appliance is located, the indication based on presence data from the wireless network connection;
cause a display to present the notification to a user; and
cause a change in the state of the kitchen appliance in response to a user input associated with the notification.
17. The server of claim 16 , wherein the sensor data includes temperature data from a temperature sensor associated with the kitchen appliance.
18. The server of claim 16 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor of the mobile device to cause the change in the state of the kitchen appliance by transmitting a command via the wireless network connection to the kitchen appliance.
19. The server of claim 16 , wherein the notification is a recommendation to a user to perform an action associated the kitchen appliance.
20. The server of claim 16 , wherein the display is part of the mobile device.
