Description

Elektrisch betriebenes HaushaltgerätElectrically operated household appliance

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisch betriebenes Haushaltgerät mit einem Eingabemittel, durch dessen Betätigung die elektrische Ausrüstung des Haushaltgerätes oder ein Teil derselben eingeschaltet wird. Derartige Haushaltgeräte sind allgemein üblich, eines besonderen Nachweises darüber bedarf es nicht. Zur Vermeidung eines unautorisierten Zugangs zu einem solchen Haushaltgerät beispielsweise einer Waschmaschine in einem Gemeinschaftsraum sind bereits diverse Einrichtungen geschaffen worden, die zusätzlich zum Haushaltgerät zu installieren sind, besondere Kosten verursachen und unter gewissen Umständen sogar mehr oder weniger leicht zu umgehen sind. Ferner sind auch im abgeschlossenen Haushalt hin und wieder Sperren gegen die Inbetriebnahme eines Haushaltgerätes erwünscht.The invention relates to an electrically operated household appliance with an input means, the actuation of which switches on the electrical equipment of the household appliance or a part thereof. Such household appliances are common, no special proof is required. In order to avoid unauthorized access to such a household appliance, for example a washing machine in a common room, various facilities have already been created which are to be installed in addition to the household appliance, cause special costs and are even more or less easy to circumvent under certain circumstances. In addition, locks against the start-up of a household appliance are sometimes desired in the closed household.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Haushaltgeräte der eingangs genannten Art so auszustatten, daß sie keine besonderen, außerhalb des Gerätes anzu- bringende Einrichtungen zur Zugangskontrolle benötigen. Außerdem soll eine solche Zugangskontrolle nicht umgehbar sein.The object of the invention is to equip household appliances of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that they do not require any special devices for access control to be fitted outside the appliance. In addition, such access control should not be avoidable.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß mit dem Eingabemittel eine Erkennungseinrichtung verbunden ist, die den Fingerabdruck der Betätigungsperson lesen und erkennen kann, wenn der Fingerabdruck der Betäti- gungsperson in einem Speicher der Erkennungseinrichtung abgelegt ist, und die nach der Wiedererkennung eines Fingerabdrucks beim Vergleich mit einem oder mehreren im Speicher abgelegten Fingerabdrücken die Einschaltung der elektrischen Ausrüstung oder eines Teils derselben veranlaßt. Dadurch kann zweifelsfrei erkannt werden, ob die betätigende Person berechtigt ist, das betreffende Haushaltgerät zu bedienen. Dies dient zugleich auch als hochwirksame Sicherung vor unerwünschter Bedienung durch Kinder und kann auf diese Weise zum Schutz der Kinder vor einem Verletzungsrisiko und vor Schäden am Gerät oder dessen Umgebung bei unsachgemäßer Bedienung des Haushaltgerätes beitragen.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that a recognition device is connected to the input means, which can read and recognize the fingerprint of the actuating person when the actuating person's fingerprint is stored in a memory of the recognition device, and after the recognition of a fingerprint during the comparison causes one or more fingerprints stored in memory to turn on the electrical equipment or a portion thereof. As a result, it can be recognized without any doubt whether the person operating it is authorized to operate the relevant household appliance. This also serves as a highly effective safeguard against undesired operation by children and can thus protect children from the risk of injury and damage to the device or whose surroundings contribute to improper use of the household appliance.

Wenn das Eingabemittel des erfindungsgemäß ausgestatteten Haushaltgerätes als Teil der Erkennungseinrichtung einen Chip-Sensor zur Abtastung der Hautli- nien enthält, kann bereits die unmittelbare Berührung des Eingabemittels die Zugangsprüfung auslösen. Eine besondere Bedienungshandlung - etwa das Auflegen eines Finger auf eine Prüffläche während der Betätigung des Eingabemittels - ist dann nicht mehr erforderlich.If the input device of the household appliance equipped according to the invention contains a chip sensor for scanning the skin lines as part of the detection device, direct contact with the input device can trigger the access check. A special operation - such as placing a finger on a test surface while operating the input device - is then no longer necessary.

In besonders vorteilhafter Weise kann die Erfindung dadurch weitergebildet wer- den, daß die Erkennungseinrichtung mit einer Benutzungsregistriereinrichtung verbunden ist, die jedem erkannten Fingerabdruck jeweils eine Benutzung zuordnet. Dadurch können nämlich bei Haushaltgeräten, die von mehreren Personen benutzt werden und deren jeweilige Benutzungen untereinander abgerechnet werden sollen, in einfachster weise die Benutzungen registriert und gezählt wer- den. Eine Abrechnung der Gerätebenutzung untereinander ist dadurch erheblich erleichtert.In a particularly advantageous manner, the invention can be further developed in that the recognition device is connected to a usage registration device which assigns a usage to each recognized fingerprint. In this way, in the case of household appliances which are used by several people and whose respective uses are to be billed to one another, the uses can be registered and counted in the simplest manner. Billing of the use of the device among each other is considerably easier.

Bei einem erfindungsgemäß ausgestatteten Haushaltgerät, das mit einer Programmsteuerungseinrichtung ausgerüstet ist kann die Erfindung dadurch in besonders vorteilhafter Weise ausgebildet werden, daß die Erkennungseinrichtung mit einer Programmauswahleinrichtung verbunden ist und daß die Erkennungseinrichtung nach der Erkennung eines Fingerabdrucks in Abhängigkeit vom jeweils erkannten Fingerabdruck ein spezifisches Auswahlsignal an die Programmauswahleinrichtung abgibt. Hierdurch können mehrer Personen unterschiedlich zusammengestellte Programme spezifisch auf ihre Bedürfnisse abge- stellt haben und der Programauswahleinrichtung allein durch ihren einmaligenIn the case of a household appliance equipped according to the invention and equipped with a program control device, the invention can be embodied in a particularly advantageous manner in that the recognition device is connected to a program selection device and in that the recognition device sends a specific selection signal after the recognition of a fingerprint in dependence on the respectively recognized fingerprint the program selection device delivers. As a result, several people can have differently composed programs tailored to their needs and the program selection device solely by their unique

Fingerabdruck bereits die Auswahl eines oder mehrerer spezifisch auf diese eine Bedienungsperson abgestimmte Programme anbieten.Fingerprint already offer the selection of one or more programs specifically tailored to this one operator.

Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels ist die Erfindung nachstehend näher erläutert. Es zeigen Fig. 1 ein Blockschaltbild der schematisch angedeuteten Erfindung in einem erfindungsgemäß ausgestatteten Haushaltgerät undThe invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. 1 shows a block diagram of the schematically indicated invention in a household appliance equipped according to the invention and

Fig. 2 die Ansicht auf die Bedienfiäche eines Eingabemittels. Die vordere obere Partie eines Haushaltgerätes 1 , das als von einer Programmsteuerungseinrichtung betriebenes Haushaltgerät beispielsweise eine Waschmaschine sein kann, ist in Fig. 1 schematisch in Seitenansicht dargestellt. Darin ist an der Frontseite 2 der Bedienblende 3 ein Eingabemittel 4 angebracht, das von einer Fingerkuppe 5 berührt wird.Fig. 2 shows the view of the operating surface of an input means. The front upper part of a household appliance 1, which can be a washing machine, for example, as a household appliance operated by a program control device, is shown schematically in a side view in FIG. 1. An input means 4, which is touched by a fingertip 5, is attached to the front side 2 of the control panel 3.

Das Eingabemittel 4 kann eine Taste oder eine Berührungsschaltfläche sein und ist mit einer Erkennungseinrichtung 6 wirkverbunden, die einen Speicher 7 für ein oder mehrere Muster (Fingerabdrücke) von Hautlinien enthält. Die Oberfläche des Eingabemittels selbst (Fig. 2) oder eine besondere Prüffläche, die ebenfalls an der Frontseite 2 der Bedienblende 3 angeordnet sein kann und zur Prüfung mit einer Fingerkuppe belegt sein muß, ist mit einer Struktur 8 versehen, die dazu geeignet ist, die von Hautlinien herrührenden Erhebungen und Einsenkungen der Haut eines Fingers einer Betätigungsperson abzutasten und als elektrische Signale an die Erkennungseinrichtung 6 zu geben, die ihrerseits aus einem Ver- gleich dieser Signale mit dem Inhalt des Speichers 7 Abweichungen oder Übereinstimmungen feststellen und daraus differenzierte Ausgangssignale auf die Ausgänge 9 bis 11 geben kann.The input means 4 can be a button or a touch button and is operatively connected to a recognition device 6, which contains a memory 7 for one or more patterns (fingerprints) of skin lines. The surface of the input means itself (Fig. 2) or a special test surface, which can also be arranged on the front side 2 of the control panel 3 and must be occupied with a fingertip for testing, is provided with a structure 8 which is suitable for the to scan the skin lines of elevations and depressions of the skin of an operator's finger and to transmit them as electrical signals to the detection device 6, which in turn determine deviations or correspondences from these signals and the content of the memory 7 and differentiated output signals to the outputs 9 to 11 can give.

Ein bei Übereinstimmung eines gelesenen Fingerabdrucks mit einem gespeicherten Muster am Ausgang 9 stehendes Signal kann beispielsweise einen Schalter 12 dahingehend betätigen, daß er die oder einen Teil der elektrischenA signal standing when a read fingerprint matches a stored pattern at the output 9 can, for example, actuate a switch 12 in such a way that it switches on the or part of the electrical

Ausrüstung 13 des Haushaltgerätes 1 an die Netzklemmen 14 schaltet und damit das Haushaltgerät im Sinne seiner Aufgaben betriebsfähig macht.Equipment 13 of the household appliance 1 switches to the mains terminals 14 and thus makes the household appliance operational in the sense of its tasks.

Der Ausgang 10 der Erkennungseinrichtung 6 hingegen gibt immer dann ein Zählsignal an die Benutzungsregistriereinrichtung 15, wenn nach einem erkann- ten Fingerabdruck das Haushaltgerät in Betrieb genommen wurde. Es registriert die Benutzung unter diesem Fingerabdruck und zählt die Anzahl der Benutzungen, die diesem Fingerabdruck zugeordnet wurden. Auf diese Weise kann die Benutzungsregistriereinrichtung 15 eine Abrechnung erstellen, nach der mehrere Personen zu einem wirtschaftlichen Ausgleich entsprechend der Anzahl ihrer je- weiligen Benutzungen kommen können.The output 10 of the recognition device 6, on the other hand, always sends a count signal to the use registration device 15 when the household appliance has been put into operation after a recognized fingerprint. It registers the use under this fingerprint and counts the number of uses that have been assigned to this fingerprint. In this way, the user registration device 15 can prepare a statement according to which several people can come to an economic compensation according to the number of their respective uses.

Der Ausgang 11 führt hingegen differenzierbare Signale in Abhängigkeit von einem jeweils erkannten Fingerabdruck. Je nach dem Muster der Handlinien, die von der Erkennungseinrichtung 6 einem bestimmten gespeicherten Muster zugeordnet wurden, sendet die Erkennungseinrichtung 6 entsprechend differenzierte Signale an die Programmauswahleinrichtung 16. Diesen differenzierten Signalen sind in der Programmauswahleinrichtung bestimmte Programmzusammenstellungen zugeordnet, welche die Programmauswahleinrichtung bei Anliegen eines entsprechenden Signals am Ausgang 11 von der Programmsteuerungseinrichtung 17 abruft.The output 11, on the other hand, carries differentiable signals depending on a fingerprint recognized in each case. Depending on the pattern of the hand lines that have been assigned by the recognition device 6 to a specific stored pattern, the recognition device 6 sends correspondingly differentiated ones Signals to the program selection device 16. These differentiated signals are assigned specific program combinations in the program selection device, which the program selection device calls from the program control device 17 when a corresponding signal is present at the output 11.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellten und vorstehend beschriebenen Einrichtungen müssen nicht alle gemeinsam in einem Haushaltgerät vorhanden sein. Eine der Einrichtungen erfüllt auch allein den an sie gestellten Zweck. The devices shown in Fig. 1 and described above need not all be present together in a household appliance. One of the facilities alone serves the purpose assigned to it.
