Bathing Ambiance Presets for Multi-Component Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bathing unit control systems and user interfaces are inefficient and inconvenient, requiring users to independently set and adjust multiple operational parameters for various components, making it time-consuming to achieve desired ambiance settings.
Innovation Solution
A user interface that displays ambiance settings, allowing users to select pre-programmed operational settings for multiple bathing unit components simultaneously, with a processor to manage and implement these settings, reducing the need for individual adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users independently set each operational parameter of bathing unit components, then precise control over each component is achieved, but the time required to achieve desired ambiance settings increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple operational parameters into packaged ambiance settings (e.g., relaxation, party, romantic modes) that can be selected with a single user action. This preliminary packaging of related parameters resolves the contradiction by allowing users to achieve precise multi-parameter control through selecting pre-defined combinations rather than adjusting each parameter individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system provides both individual parameter adjustment capability and pre-packaged ambiance settings, making it universally applicable to different user needs. Users can choose between detailed manual control or quick preset selection depending on the situation, thus maintaining control precision while reducing configuration time when needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users manually adjust multiple operational parameters to achieve desired ambiance, then customization flexibility is maintained, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complex task of configuring multiple operational parameters into two distinct operational modes: pre-packaged ambiance settings for quick deployment and individual parameter adjustment for customization. This segmentation reduces operational complexity by allowing users to choose the appropriate level of detail based on their needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface dynamically adapts based on user selection - when a preset ambiance is chosen, the system automatically configures multiple parameters; when users need customization, they can individually adjust specific parameters. This dynamic approach maintains flexibility while reducing the perceived complexity of operation.
3Ease of operation
If a control system provides individual adjustment for each bathing unit component, then detailed control capability is achieved, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple individual parameter controls into unified pre-packaged ambiance settings that can be activated with a single selection. This combining approach dramatically improves ease of operation for common scenarios while maintaining access to individual parameter controls when needed, effectively reducing the number of control actions required.
Solution Approach 2:
By pre-configuring optimal parameter combinations for different ambiance scenarios (relaxation, party, romantic, etc.), the system eliminates the need for users to manually adjust multiple parameters. This preliminary preparation of settings大幅 reduces the operational steps required while maintaining detailed control capability when users choose to customize.

AI summary
A method, device and system for displaying, via a user interface, an ambiance setting for a bathing system. The user interface is configured to display at least one display page on a display screen. The method comprises displaying on the display screen, a plurality of ambiance settings selectable by a user of the user interface, receiving, at a processor, an indication of a selected ambiance setting from the plurality of ambiance settings displayed on the display screen and in response to the selected ambiance setting, displaying on the display screen a first operational setting for at least one first type of bathing unit component and a second operational setting for at least one second type of bathing unit component. The first operational setting and the second operational setting are pre-programmed in association with the selected ambiance setting
