1. A system comprising:

  • a blower filter system comprising;

    a blower filter device comprising at least one filter, a fan wheel arranged in a fan housing, a motor for driving the fan wheel, a control unit for actuating the motor and for processing device-specific parameters of the blower filter device, a blower filter device communication interface connected to the control unit and a detecting device detecting device-specific parameters of the blower filter system, indicating a component configuration of the blower filter system, detecting blower filter system properties obtained during the operation of the blower filter system and detecting blower filter system statistics obtained during the operation of the blower filter system, the detecting device being connected to the control unit in a data-communicating manner and transmitting detected device-specific parameters, indicating the component configuration of the blower filter system, transmitting the system properties and transmitting the system statistics to the control unit, the blower filter device communication interface being configured to transmit the detected device-specific parameters, the system properties and the system statistics from the control unit as blower filter system data;

    a head piece; and

    a flexible connection hose, connecting the blower filter device and the head piece to one another in a fluid-communicating manner; and

    a computer separated in space from the blower filter system, the computer having a computer communication interface to transmit data from the computer to the control unit of the blower filter device and to receive data sent from the control unit of the blower filter device to the computer, the blower filter device communication interface transmitting the blower filter system data from the control unit to the computer an receiving data sent from the computer to the control unit; and

    a checking unit as part of the computer and configured to determine whether device-specific parameters provided to the control unit of the blower filter device by the detecting device are up to date, including checking if present data sets of the blower filter system control unit correspond to the detected component configuration of the blower filter system, and to determine whether device-specific software, of the control unit of the blower filter device are up to date and to make predictions on a remaining service life of the blower filter system based on the system properties and system statistics and to transmit the predictions from the computer to the control unit via the blower filter device communication interface and the computer filter device communication interface whereby a user of the blower filter system is provided with remaining service life information as well as most recent data, settings and notifications in case of a malfunction, wherein;

    the checking unit is configured for an automatic periodic polling of the device-specific parameters of the blower filter device with the automatic periodic polling including the detecting by the detecting device at the blower device and the transmitting by the blower filter device communication interface; and

    the computer sends data including software updates and device-specific parameters comprising device-specific setting data to the control unit of the blower filter device via the communication interfaces as a function of the determined device-specific parameters of the blower filter device to change the device-specific parameters of the blower filter device, wherein the checking unit is configured to determine whether the software of the control unit of the blower filter device is up to date and the blower filter device communication interface is configured to receive software updates for the control unit from the computer.
