[0040] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In this specification, a drinking water purifier includes a device equipped with a water purification function, such as a water purifier or an ionizer.

[0041] Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the front of the exterior of a water purifier, which is an example of a drinking water purifier, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] The water purifier (100) includes a display (110), a touch part (120), a water outlet (130), and a front cover (140). The interior of the water purifier (100) with the front cover (140) removed includes a main body (150), a primary filter connection part (160), a secondary filter connection part (170), and a water tray (180).

[0043] The display (110) displays the operating status of the water purifier and can receive a user's touch input. An example of the display (110) is a Touch LCD. The touch unit (120) can be implemented in the form of a button that operates the water purifier by touching. The water outlet (130) is a passage through which water such as hot water / cold water / purified water / alkaline water / cold alkaline water / washing water flows out. The water outlet (130) includes a cock and a drain pipe. The types of water discharged through the cock include hot water, cold water, purified water, alkaline water, and cold alkaline water. The water discharged through the drain pipe includes washing water, sterilizing water, or acidic water. The front cover (140) is a cover that protects the filter and the product.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 3, the main body (150) is a case that protects internal components such as an SMPS (320) that supplies input power (310) to a voltage that can be used in a water purifier, a control unit (340) that distributes the supplied voltage and collects and distributes information, a memory that stores the type of water selected by the user, the amount of water selected by the user, and other user inputs, a valve (341) that blocks water intake when the power is turned off to prevent water from entering, a compressor (342) or cold water module (344) that cools water, a hot water module (343) that heats water, an electrolytic cell (345) that electrolyzes water, an electrolytic water sterilization module (346) that sterilizes electrolytic water, a UV-C sterilization module (347), a filter that purifies tap water, a flow sensor (351) that checks the amount according to the pressure of the water, a sensor (352) that measures the temperature, a water level sensor (353) that measures the water level, and an IOT module (350). The control unit (340) can be manufactured in the form of a PCB including the functions of the processor.

[0045] The IOT module (350) can communicate with external devices such as user terminals and cloud servers. For example, the IOT module (350) can receive signals from applications installed on the user terminal, collect data, and analyze data. Through this, the terminal can provide daily and monthly water output amounts of hot water, cold water, purified water, alkaline water, and cold alkaline water, which are included in the water type in the basic mode (420). In addition, information on the output amount of washing water (sterilized water or acidic water) can also be provided. In addition, when the terminal selects one of at least one customized button displayed in the selection mode (430), the terminal can provide daily and monthly water output amounts of the selected customized button.

[0046] For example, the following is an example of providing daily, monthly, and water type-specific water output to users Kim Cheol-su and Lee Young-hee, respectively.

[0047] Kim Cheol-su

[0048] - Purified water: 500ml per day, 2000ml per month

[0049] -Alkaline water: 300ml per day, 3000ml per month

[0050]

[0051] Lee Young-hee

[0052] - Purified water: 400ml per day, 4000ml per month

[0053] -Alkaline water: 200ml per day, 2000ml per month

[0054]

[0055] The main body (150) can also receive an input signal from the display (330) and output a signal to display water temperature, water level, flow rate, etc. on the display.

[0056] The primary filter connection (160) connects the primary filter. An example of a primary filter is a pre-block carbon filter composed of sediment and carbon blocks. It removes suspended solids larger than 10 micrometers, such as rust residue in raw water, as well as organic compounds such as residual chlorine and trihalomethane, and heavy metals.

[0057] The secondary filter connector (170) connects the secondary filter. An example of a secondary filter is a composite nanofilter composed of nanofibers and carbon blocks. It removes micro-pollutants such as bacteria and viruses, as well as odor-causing substances, from water passing through the primary filter, thereby improving the taste of the water.

[0058] The water purifier (100) electrolyzes purified water using a primary filter and a secondary filter to produce alkaline ionized water. The electrolyzed alkaline ionized water determines the pH concentration by controlling the electric energy according to the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal applied to the electrolytic cell of the water purifier (100). For example, the pH concentration can be classified into about 8.6 pH, medium 9.0 pH, and strong 9.5 pH and discharged.

[0059] Although not shown in Figures 1 and 2, the rear of the water purifier (100) includes a dust filter section to prevent dust from entering, a power cord to supply power to the water purifier, an inlet for introducing raw water, a washing water outlet for discharging washing water, and a discharge outlet for discharging residual water.

[0060] FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a display provided in a water purifier as a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] The display (400) provides a basic mode (420) and a selection mode (430). In addition, it further includes a time setting button (410), a communication status display button (411) that displays the communication connection status such as Wi-Fi, a more functions button (440), and a washing water selection button (450). An example of the more functions button (440) is shown in FIG. 10. In addition, although not shown in FIG. 4, a filter replacement display unit that notifies when a filter replacement is necessary may be further included.

[0062] The basic mode (420) provides the user with a water selection interface (421, 422, 423, 424, 425, 450) for selecting the type of water and a water volume selection interface for selecting the amount of water to be dispensed. FIG. 4 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which 120 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, and 1000 ml are shown as examples of the amounts of water to be dispensed provided by the water volume selection interface, but the present invention is not limited thereto and various design changes are possible. For example, the user may be supported to set the amount of water to be dispensed in units of 1 ml.

[0063] The memory stores information about the type of water and the volume of water selected just before. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, if the user activates (423a) purified water (423) in the water selection interface and then selects 120 ml (460a) through the water volume selection interface, the information "purified water, 120 ml" is stored in the memory.

[0064] Thereafter, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the user presses the touch sensor of the display, the control unit controls the water selected by the user to be dispensed in the selected amount. Although not shown in Fig. 4, the display may further provide an electrostatic touch sensor. In another embodiment of the present invention, the water purifier may be implemented to dispense water by having a physical button or lever.

[0065] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the user selects the type of water and the amount of water in the basic mode, before water is dispensed, the control unit may provide a query interface that asks the user whether to save the type of water and the amount of water selected by the user.

[0066] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the user selects the type of water and the amount of water in the basic mode and the water is dispensed, the control unit may provide a query interface that asks the user whether to save the type of water and the amount of water selected by the user.

[0067] When the user provides feedback through the query interface that he / she wants to save the water type and water volume selected in the basic mode, the control unit additionally activates a user registration interface for adding user information. In this case, when user registration is performed through the user registration process as shown in Fig. 6, the control unit generates a customized button using the user registration information and the water type and water volume information selected by the user and stored in the memory. The first partition area of ​​the generated customized button displays the user information, and the second partition area displays the water type and water discharge volume selected by the user through the basic mode.

[0068] The control unit controls the generated custom button to be displayed on the selection mode (530) screen. The user can use the generated custom button to dispense water and drink it.

[0069] FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which provides an interface (510) for creating at least one custom button to a user in a selection mode (530).

[0070] A user can create a custom button by activating the custom button creation interface (510). The interior of the custom button provides a segmented layout. Referring to Fig. 7, the custom button (710) provides a first partition area (711) and a second partition area (712). The first partition area (711) displays first information, and the second partition area (712) displays second information. The first information includes user information, usage information, etc. The user information can be expressed as father, mother, me, etc., as in the example of Fig. 6. The usage information can be expressed as indigestion, infant formula, watering plants, coffee, etc.

[0071] The first information (711) may be displayed as at least one of audio, image, icon, and text. The second information (712) includes information on the type of water selected by the user, information on the amount of water discharged from the selected water, the target drinking amount per day, and the accumulated amount of water discharged from the day.

[0072] FIG. 6 illustrates an example of registering first information in a custom button, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention. When a user activates the custom button creation interface (510), the first information can be registered. FIG. 6 illustrates an example of registering user information (610) by selecting an avatar (620) and text (630).

[0073] Fig. 7 illustrates an example of registering second information after first information is registered in a customized button (710) as a preferred embodiment of the present invention. An example of the customized button (710) activating a second information input interface (712a) to input second information in a second partition area (712) is illustrated. Fig. 8 illustrates an example of the second information being displayed in the second partition area (712) by the user. The second information displays the type of water selected by the user, 'weakly alkaline water', the amount of water dispensed by the user, '250 ml', the daily target amount of weakly alkaline water to drink, '1000 ml', and the accumulated amount of weakly alkaline water dispensed up to the current point in time (13:30), '250 ml'. After both the first information and the second information are registered in the first and second partition areas of the customized button (810), when the user activates the customized button (810) (810a), the control unit controls the water outlet so that water corresponding to the type and amount of water displayed on the activated customized button (810) is discharged. In this case, the user selects weakly alkaline water using the water selection interface to discharge 250 ml of weakly alkaline water, and does not need to use the water volume selection interface to select the amount of water to be discharged. When the manufactured customized button is pressed, the customized button operates as a quick button, so that water corresponding to the type and amount of water displayed in the second partition area of ​​the customized button is discharged.

[0074] FIG. 9 illustrates an example in which a plurality of custom buttons (910, 920, 930, 940) are created in a selection mode provided by a display (900) as a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] In the case where the type of water is alkaline water, such as weak alkaline water, cold alkaline water, or strong alkaline water, the customized button (910) can display, in addition to the information on the type of water (912) and the amount of water discharged (913) registered by the user in the second partition area, information on the accumulated amount of water discharged up to the current point in time (911). To this end, the control unit can store the amount of alkaline water or cold alkaline water discharged in the memory each time the customized button for which alkaline water or cold alkaline water is selected is activated, and display it in the second partition area of ​​the customized button. For example, in the case where alkaline water or cold alkaline water is selected as the customized button, the control unit can accumulate the amount of alkaline water or cold alkaline water discharged up to a specific point in time, such as the current point in time, on a daily basis (1 day) basis, and display it in the second partition area.

[0076] In addition, the control unit may provide audible or visual guidance, such as display guidance or audio guidance, to the user when the accumulated discharge amount of alkaline water or cold alkaline water exceeds a preset value. The preset value may be a target drinking amount set by the user or recommended by the hospital. In addition, the control unit may provide feedback, such as an alarm, when the preset drinking amount is reached.

[0077] FIG. 11 shows an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which water is dispensed in a water purifier according to a user input (1110).

[0078] The user can select the default mode (1120) or the selection mode (1130) on the display.

[0079] The case where the selection mode (1130) is selected will be described first. When the selection mode (1130) is selected, an interface is provided to the user to create at least one customized button. The user can select at least one of hot water, cold water, purified water, alkaline water, cold alkaline water, and washing water, and select the amount of water to be discharged of the selected water to create a customized button. Refer to FIGS. 5 to 8 for details. When a customized button is created, a customized button (1132) is displayed in the selection mode (1130) as in the example of FIG. 9, and the user can use the desired customized button (1132). In this case, when the user activates the desired customized button, the control unit controls the water discharge unit so that the type of water indicated on the customized button is discharged in the amount of water indicated or corresponding to the customized button.

[0080] This explains the case where the basic mode (1120) is selected.

[0081] The basic mode (1120) provides a water selection interface (1122) and a water volume selection interface (1124). The water selection interface (1122) provides an interface for selecting hot water (1140), cold water (1141), purified water (1142), alkaline water (1143), cold alkaline water (1144), and washing water (1145).
