HOME APPLIANCE AND HOME APPLIANCE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. In a home appliance system that transmits product information of a home appliance to a management device through a wire/wireless communication network for fault diagnosis, and diagnoses fault of the home appliance,the home appliance, including:
- a controller that includes a storage device for storing the product information of the home appliance for the fault diagnosis, and loads the product information stored in the storage device and outputs a control signal, when the fault diagnosis command is receiveda conversion device that converts the control signal which includes product information into at least one acoustic signal and outputs the at least one acoustic signal; and
a output device that outputs a sound corresponding to the at least one acoustic signal.

Abstract
A home appliance and a home appliance system are provided which control a sound output from an output device upon receipt of an external command signal of ON or OFF. Further, the home appliance and home appliance system control a sequence of output of an acoustic signal output from a conversion device. Accordingly, it may be possible to notify a user of the outputting of the acoustic signal by controlling the sequence of output of the acoustic signal, thereby increasing user convenience.

22. In a home appliance system that transmits product information of a home appliance to a management device through a wire/wireless communication network for fault diagnosis, and diagnoses fault of the home appliance,
the home appliance system, including: -
a conversion device that, upon receipt of a control command, converts product information into at least one acoustic signal and outputs the at least one acoustic signal if the external command signal is ON, and does not output the at least one acoustic signal if the external command signal is OFF; an output device that outputs a sound corresponding to the at least one acoustic signal output from the conversion device; a controller that controls the at least one acoustic signal converted and output by the conversion device, so that a user is notified that the product information is about to be output; and a management device configured to receive the sound and inversely convert the sound into the product information based on the sound. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
