Hopefully the patent will be denied. Adding an existing device to an existing device isn't an invention. Hmm, maybe I could add a GPS device to say, the stock of a rifle and patent it... Or how about adding an MP3 player to a tackle box?

Hmmm, Could be a good way to clean up some of the dirty lyrics.

---maybe I could add a GPS device to say--- +MP3

GPS device and MP3 player on a home appliance would stand a better chance.

something like: Dude I could now track my Fridge! :)

and a monitor device for remotely controlling an entire operation of the washing device or monitoring a washing or drying state of the washing device through communication with the washing device

I already have a device for remotely monitoring the entire washing/drying operation. It's called a stop watch.

Some people hae one that's called a wife.

(To those who might say that Marcia's comment is sexist, my experience is that it is indeed wives who monitor the wash like a hawk.)
