TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND SENSING PROCESS

摘要

An apparatus for encoding a stove usage time includes a circuit, a temperature switch, an input device, and an output device. The circuit includes a processor and an internal timer. The temperature switch is communicatively linked to the circuit. The input device is electrically connected to the circuit and transmits a status request to the processor in response to receiving a user input. The internal timer increments an accumulated time of the internal timer by a usage time. The usage time is based on a duration the temperature switch detects temperatures higher than the minimum threshold. The processor accesses the incremented accumulated time of the internal timer and stores the accumulated time in a memory. The processor reads the incremented accumulated time from the memory, encodes the incremented accumulated time into an encoded value, and causes the output device to produce the encoded value in response to the status request.

1. An apparatus for encoding a stove usage time, the apparatus comprising:
a circuit comprising a processor and an internal timer; a temperature switch communicatively linked to the circuit; an input device, the input device electrically connected to the circuit and the input device configured to transmit a status request to the processor in response to receiving a user input; an output device; wherein the internal timer is configured to increment an accumulated time value of the internal timer by a usage time value, the usage time value based on a duration the temperature switch detects temperatures higher than the minimum threshold; and wherein the processor is configured to:
access the incremented accumulated time value of the internal timer and store the incremented accumulated time value in a memory of the circuit;read the incremented accumulated time value from the memory of the circuit;encode the incremented accumulated time value into an encoded value; and,in response to receiving the status request from the input device, cause the output device to produce the encoded value.
