Abstract
An induction heating device includes a case, working coils, a cover plate, an input interface, a first control module configured to detect one or more of the working coils at a position of an object seated on the cover plate, a second control module configured to receive information on the position of the object and control the input interface to display an image of a heating zone, and light emitting elements disposed below a periphery of each of the plurality of working coils. The second control module is configured to analyze an arrangement form of the one or more of the working coils based on the information on the position of the object, and control driving of at least one of the light emitting elements based on a result of analyzing the arrangement form.
