Bidet Cleaning Course Selection Using Emotional Weighting

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Bidet apparatuses do not consider user-specific emotional factors, leading to inefficient and uncomfortable cleaning experiences, particularly for users with unique conditions such as menstruation or inflamed anal areas, requiring manual adjustment of cleaning factors which is time-consuming and not optimized for individual needs.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for selecting a cleaning course that incorporates emotional factors, including degree of change, precision, range, and sensitivity, by assigning preset weights to cleaning factors and calculating emotional weights to optimize the cleaning process, allowing for automatic selection of a suitable cleaning course based on user-specific conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple cleaning factors are adjusted through direct operation unit input, then cleaning optimization for individual users is achieved, but the time required exceeds the actual cleaning duration

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecleaning factor optimizationVSAvoidtime to select cleaning factors

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The bidet apparatus automatically determines cleaning factors by analyzing user biometric data and emotional states without requiring manual input. The system self-adjusts water pressure, temperature, and spraying patterns based on detected user conditions, eliminating the time-consuming manual configuration process while maintaining personalized cleaning optimization

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures multiple cleaning courses with different factor combinations before user interaction. When a user sits on the bidet, the system quickly selects from these pre-prepared courses based on real-time biometric detection, avoiding the need for time-consuming real-time adjustments during the actual cleaning process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If cleaning factors are fixed according to standard settings, then the operation is simple, but it does not consider user-specific emotional factors and conditions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoiduser condition consideration

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The bidet system dynamically adjusts cleaning factors based on real-time detection of user biometric data and emotional states. The water pressure, temperature, and spraying patterns are not fixed but continuously adapted to match the user's current physical and emotional condition, maintaining both operational simplicity and high adaptability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple cleaning parameters simultaneously based on detected user conditions. When emotional factors or biometric data indicate specific needs (such as menstruation or inflamed anal area), the system automatically modifies water pressure, temperature, and spraying patterns to provide condition-appropriate cleaning while requiring no manual input from the user

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method for selecting a cleaning course includes one or more cleaning factors and any one of the one or more emotional factors, in which a cleaning weight of the one or more cleaning factors is preset for each of the one or more emotional factors.
