AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing toilet seat designs with image sensors on the back surface risk shifting imaging range and damage due to contact with the toilet bowl, leading to design and cleanability issues.
Method used
A toilet device with a toilet seat featuring protruding legs on the back surface, housing the image sensor inside the seat to overlap with these legs, which absorbs impact and maintains design quality while preventing imaging range shifts and damage.
Benefits of technology
Prevents imaging range shifts and damage to the image sensor, maintains design quality, and enhances cleanability by minimizing stress and unevenness on the toilet seat.
