[0048] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following is a brief introduction to the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0049] Figure 1 The figure shows the architecture of the ship intelligent bathroom system based on artificial intelligence according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] The embodiment of the present invention proposes an artificial intelligence-based ship intelligent bathroom system, as shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown, the ship intelligent bathroom system includes: a bathroom cabin planning module based on the overall ship layout and personnel establishment, a usage management rule formulation module based on the physiological characteristics of personnel, a toilet status indication system module dedicated to command personnel, an intelligent function configuration module inside the bathroom cabin, a multifunctional design module for cabin materials, and small devices and interactive product modules with a sense of technology and humanized care.

[0052] Bathroom cabin planning module based on the overall ship layout and staffing: The AI system is used to perform three-dimensional modeling of the overall ship layout. Combined with the personnel distribution density, activity range, personnel flow patterns and staffing, the module determines the appropriate number of bathroom cabins, optimizes the layout of bathroom cabins, and designs the spatial height of bathroom cabins based on ergonomics and ship structure characteristics.

[0053] The use of the AI system to perform three-dimensional modeling of the overall layout of the entire ship is specifically as follows: in the early stages of ship design, the detailed overall layout drawings of the entire ship and accurate personnel information are completely input into the AI system. The AI system deeply analyzes and processes the massive amount of input data to construct a three-dimensional detailed model of the entire ship. In the three-dimensional model of the entire ship, the AI system simulates the flow of personnel in different areas, and through the study of a large amount of historical data and industry standards, uses machine learning algorithms to accurately calculate the usage needs of personnel in each area.

[0054] The specific method for determining the reasonable number of bathroom cabins is as follows:

[0055] The AI system analyzes the density of people in each area, their range of activities, and patterns of personnel flow. It also combines the ship's crewing, including the number of crew members and the ratio of personnel in different positions, with big data analysis and machine learning algorithms to accurately calculate the appropriate number of bathroom cabins required.

[0056] For example, for densely populated living and working areas, the number of bathroom cabins should be appropriately increased to meet the needs of personnel; for example, for areas where crew members concentrate on resting, the AI system analyzes factors such as the number of crew members, rest time patterns, and daily activity range, and combines ergonomic principles to determine the reasonable number of bathroom cabins required in the area.

[0057] The specific method for optimizing the layout of the bathroom cabin is as follows:

[0058] Based on the functional zoning and personnel flow of the entire ship, and taking into account the walking distance of personnel from other areas to the bathroom cabin, the smoothness of the passage, and the interaction with other functional areas, the AI system optimizes the layout of the bathroom cabin, setting the bathroom cabin in a place where personnel activities are frequent and easy to reach, reducing personnel's walking distance and time cost.

[0059] At the same time, considering the usage characteristics of different areas, bathrooms in crew rest areas and entertainment areas can be set up separately to improve efficiency and comfort. In addition, bathrooms will not be placed near areas with high environmental requirements, such as restaurants and meeting rooms, to reduce the impact of odor and noise.

[0060] The space height of the designed bathroom cabin is as follows:

[0061] Combining ergonomic principles and the structural characteristics of the ship, the AI system determines the spatial height of the bathroom cabin. Based on factors such as the average height of the human body, the range of activities, and the structural characteristics of the ship, the AI system uses big data analysis and simulation technology to determine the most suitable spatial height. For areas used for standing, such as showers and washbasins, sufficient height is ensured to prevent people from feeling oppressed; for toilet areas, the spatial height is reasonably set considering the sitting and standing posture of people to improve the comfort of use. At the same time, according to the navigation environment and usage needs of the ship, different spatial height designs are adopted for different types of bathroom cabins (such as bathroom cabins for ordinary crew members, bathroom cabins dedicated to command leaders, etc.).

[0062] Designers can carefully adjust and optimize the preliminary plan generated by the AI system based on actual conditions, ultimately determining the number, location, and floor height of the bathroom cabins. During the shipbuilding process, construction and installation are carried out strictly in accordance with the determined plan.

[0063] In the early stage of ship design, a bathroom cabin planning module based on the overall ship layout and staffing is used to construct a three-dimensional detailed model of the entire ship. Combined with the personnel distribution density, activity range, personnel flow patterns and staffing, the reasonable number of bathroom cabins is determined and the layout of the bathroom cabins is optimized. A reasonable number of bathroom cabins and scientific layout planning can reduce the walking distance and time cost of personnel, improve utilization efficiency and avoid waste of resources.

[0064] Usage management rule-making module based on personnel physiological characteristics: The AI system builds a personnel usage behavior model and uses it to predict the usage of bathroom cabins. At the same time, based on the personnel's job position, work priority and the urgency of their physiological needs, the AI system formulates reasonable rotation and sorting rules.

[0065] The AI system collects and analyzes data on people's daily routines, work schedules, daily behaviors, and physiological needs. Using deep learning algorithms, it conducts in-depth mining and analysis of this data to build a behavioral model of people's use. Based on this behavioral model, the AI system can accurately predict the probability of people using bathroom cabins and their peak and trough usage at different time periods. For example, the demand for bathroom cabins increases significantly after breakfast, after dinner, and before and after waking and going to bed.

[0066] A rotation system prioritizes access for specific personnel and monitors usage status in real time to notify those in line. Busy command personnel and special operations personnel are given priority access based on their work priorities and urgency. For ordinary crew members, access is arranged chronologically or randomly. The system also monitors bathroom usage in real time, automatically notifying the next person in line when a bathroom becomes available.

[0067] When someone needs to use the bathroom, they are quickly and accurately identified using a card or facial recognition technology. The AI system immediately arranges their use according to pre-set rules and displays real-time queue information on a prominent screen, including the number of people currently waiting and the estimated wait time. The system also continuously monitors actual user usage and dynamically adjusts usage rules based on real-time data to ensure their rationality and effectiveness.

[0068] By utilizing the usage management rule formulation module based on the physiological characteristics of personnel, reasonable rotation and sorting usage rules are formulated according to the personnel's job position, work priority and the urgency of their physiological needs, thus reducing the waiting time of personnel.

[0069] Toilet status indication system module dedicated to commanders: Indicator screens are set up near the commander's work area and frequently used passages to display the toilet usage status in real time. It has identity recognition and reminder functions and can send available toilet location information to their personal terminal devices.

[0070] Special restroom status indicators are installed near the command staff's work area and frequently used passageways. These indicators are connected to sensors inside the restroom compartments. These sensors utilize IoT technology to accurately monitor restroom usage in real time. Based on this sensor information, the indicators display each restroom's status in real time, including whether it's occupied, unoccupied, or being cleaned. Different colors and icons are used to distinguish different statuses, such as green for unoccupied, red for occupied, and yellow for being cleaned.

[0071] When a commander approaches the restroom status indicator, the system automatically identifies them and notifies them of the nearest available restroom location through voice prompts or vibration alerts. Furthermore, if the commander has pre-set a restroom request, the system will promptly send a reminder to their personal device, such as a smartwatch, when a restroom becomes available, ensuring they can quickly and easily find the right one.

[0072] Intelligent function configuration module inside the bathroom cabin: equipped with intelligent bathroom facilities, intelligent lighting system, intelligent audio system, temperature and humidity control system. The above equipment is equipped with sensors and intelligent control modules, which can interact with the AI system for real-time data and intelligent linkage, thereby realizing personalized adjustment of facilities, automatic lighting control, music playback and intelligent adjustment of temperature and humidity.

[0074] Smart toilets feature multiple flushing modes, seat heating, temperature adjustment, and automatic deodorization, allowing for personalized settings based on user habits and physiological needs. Leveraging sensor technology, smart toilets can precisely sense a user's habits and physiological needs. For example, pressure and infrared sensors identify a user's sitting posture and location, automatically adjusting parameters such as seat heating temperature, flushing mode, and water flow intensity. Smart toilets also feature automatic deodorization, using a built-in air purification device to monitor and remove odors in real time.

[0075] Smart showerheads automatically adjust water temperature, flow intensity, and spray patterns. They can also connect to users' smart devices to pre-set bathing preferences. Using water flow control technology and temperature regulation algorithms, smart showerheads precisely adjust water flow based on pre-set bathing parameters, such as water temperature, flow intensity, and spray pattern. Users can also interact with the smart showerhead via handheld devices or voice commands, achieving a more convenient and personalized bathing experience.

[0076] The smart handwashing station is equipped with a sensor faucet, an automatic hand sanitizer dispenser, and a quick dryer, providing a convenient and hygienic handwashing experience. The sensor faucet uses infrared sensing technology to quickly and accurately detect the position of a person's hands, automatically dispensing and stopping water, avoiding cross-infection caused by manual operation. The automatic hand sanitizer dispenser precisely controls the amount of hand sanitizer dispensed based on the person's needs, providing a hygienic and convenient handwashing experience. The quick dryer uses efficient hot air technology to dry hands in a short time, saving time and energy.

[0077] The intelligent lighting system utilizes light sensors and intelligent control algorithms to automatically adjust light brightness and color based on different usage scenarios and time of day. During the day, the light maintains a moderate brightness, using natural white light to provide clear illumination. At night, the light dims to a warm yellow, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The light automatically turns on when a person enters the bathroom and turns off when they leave, saving energy. Furthermore, the light color and flashing pattern can be adjusted based on the user's mood and needs, providing soft, colored lighting for a relaxing bath, for example.

[0078] The smart audio system supports multiple music playback methods, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and online music playback. Users can select their favorite music and sound effects using a handheld device or a control panel within the bathroom. During the bathing process, relaxing and uplifting music can be played to relieve stress and enhance comfort.

[0079] The temperature and humidity control system, equipped with temperature and humidity sensors and an intelligent air conditioning system, monitors the temperature and humidity inside the bathroom in real time. It automatically adjusts the temperature and humidity based on the season, weather, and user needs to maintain a comfortable environment. In summer, the temperature and humidity are lowered to provide a cool bathing environment; in winter, they are raised to prevent colds. The system also dynamically adjusts based on user activity, such as increasing the temperature and humidity appropriately while bathing.

[0080] Intelligent bathroom facilities, lighting, background music, temperature and humidity adjustment functions provide people with a comfortable and convenient bathing environment, relieve stress and improve the quality of life.

[0081] Multifunctional design module of cabin materials: cabin materials with self-cleaning, anti-slip and heat-insulating functions are used, intelligent defogger devices are installed on the mirrors of the bathroom cabins, cleaning sensors are installed to give them a cleaning reminder function, and intelligent garbage storage and discharge systems and intelligent hot water systems are set up to realize garbage classification, storage and compression, sewage discharge treatment and energy-saving storage and utilization of hot water.

[0082] Self-cleaning function: Using self-cleaning cabin materials, such as nano-coating materials, features a special microstructure on the surface that effectively prevents stains and bacteria from adhering. In response to light or moisture, these materials automatically break down and remove stains. For example, using self-cleaning materials on areas prone to stains, such as toilet linings, shower walls, and floors, significantly reduces cleaning workload and frequency. Furthermore, the materials possess antibacterial properties, inhibiting bacterial growth and reproduction, ensuring a hygienic bathroom environment.

[0083] Anti-slip flooring: Choose flooring materials with excellent anti-slip properties, such as non-slip tiles or rubber mats.

Additionally, place anti-slip warning signs on the floor to remind people to pay attention to safety.

[0084] Cooling wall panels: Using wall panels with excellent thermal insulation properties, such as polyimide foam panels or vacuum insulation panels, effectively blocks cold air from entering the bathroom, maintaining warmth. These panels also provide sound insulation, reducing external noise. During installation, the panels are sealed with materials such as sealing strips to ensure both thermal and sound insulation.

[0085] Mirror Defog: Install an intelligent defog device, such as an electrically heated defog film or ultrasonic defogger, on bathroom mirrors. When fog appears on the mirror, the system automatically activates the defogger to quickly remove the mist, ensuring clear visibility. Furthermore, sensors monitor the mirror's humidity in real time, enabling preemptive defog activation to prevent fogging. The defogger intelligently adjusts the power and duration of the defogger based on factors such as the level of fog and ambient temperature, ensuring the mirror remains clear and visible.

[0086] Cleaning Reminders: Cleaning sensors are installed in bathrooms to monitor the cleanliness level in real time. When stains accumulate to a certain level or a preset cleaning interval is reached, the system issues a cleaning reminder via voice prompts, flashing lights, or text messages to the cleaning staff's terminal. The system also records the time and content of each cleaning for management and statistical purposes.

[0087] An intelligent waste storage and discharge system is installed, including classified waste bins, waste compression devices, monitoring and reminder devices, and liquid waste and sewage discharge devices.
