Control device for combustion apparatus and method for controlling the same
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling an apparatus, said method comprising the steps of:
- inputting a predetermined temperature value into a microprocessor;
detecting a voltage value of a power supply;
determining a variation in voltage from said power supply by comparing the detected voltage from said power supply with a reference voltage value stored in said microprocessor;
detecting a temperature variation;
determining a fuzzy correlation by comparing a variation in room temperature stored in said microprocessor with the detected temperature variation over a predetermined time period; and
displaying an operating state, which corresponds to said variation in voltage or said fuzzy correlation, of the apparatus on a display.
