Description

Household appliance system having a plurality of household appliances and a common central operating device and method Technical Field One aspect of the present invention relates to a home appliance system having a plurality of home appliances. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for operating a household appliance system. Background A wide variety of household appliances are known from the prior art. These home appliances are each their own individual devices in their own right. For this purpose, the household appliance can be configured, for example, for preparing food. In this context, the household appliance may be, for example, a cooking appliance or a stove. Furthermore, home appliances for caring for laundry are also known. Mention is made here of, for example, a washing machine or a dryer. In addition, household appliances for cleaning dishes are also known. Also, home appliances for storing and preserving foods are known. For example, cooling devices or ice chests or combination refrigerator-freezer devices are known herein. Thus, all of these devices have their own individual functionality. In this context, it is also known that each device itself has an operating means. The operating device is provided only for operating the respective household appliance. It is also known in this context that such operating devices generally have a display unit, in particular a display. It is also possible for such an operating device to have an additional operating element which can be removed from the operating element receptacle of the operating device in a nondestructive detachable manner and can be placed again. It is also possible that such operating elements can be arranged at different positions of the operating device. For example, reference may be made here to DE 102014223371A1 or DE 10 20166223476 A1. It is also known that in a household there are often a plurality of different household appliances, in particular those mentioned above. Disclosure of Invention The task of the present invention is to make the running and operation of a plurality of household appliances more efficient. This object is achieved by a household appliance system and a method according to the independent claims. One aspect of the present invention relates to a home appliance system. The household appliance system has a first household appliance. The household appliance system furthermore has at least one second household appliance. The two home appliances are devices separated from each other. This means in particular that the household appliances are each closed units in their own right. In particular, the household appliances each have their own housing. In particular, this also means that the household appliance is not only physically but functionally separated. This applies in particular to its corresponding main function for which the household appliance is designed primarily according to the regulations. The household appliance system furthermore has a central operating device which is configured according to the regulations for setting the operating conditions of the first household appliance and at least the second household appliance and is set according to the regulations for this purpose. The operating device has an electronic display area. The electronic display area has a first display area on which information, in particular information about only the first household appliance, can be displayed. The electronic display area further has a second display area different from the first display area. Information, in particular information about only the second household appliance, can be displayed on the second display area. Thus, according to the invention, the two display areas are also separate display areas for this purpose, on which display areas only the information relating to that household appliance assigned to the display area is displayed in each case. The operating means is a unit on the object. The operating device is arranged in a generally unitary manner at a location. The operating device therefore has no position in particularDisplay areas that are separate and disposed away from each other. With this household appliance system it is now very efficient to operate a plurality of household appliances in such a household appliance complex or household appliance system with only a single common central operating device. This has a number of advantages in connection therewith. On the one hand, the number of operating devices for a corresponding plurality of household appliances can thus be saved. Furthermore, it is also possible to actually perform the operation of a plurality of home appliances from a central location where a common central operation device is arranged. A very simple, understandable and intuitively perceivable presentation of information about the household appliance is possible, in particular also due to the illustrated configuration of the electronic display area.
