Remote control dish washing machine
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dish washing machines lack remote control capabilities, limiting user interaction and information exchange beyond basic on-site operations.
Innovation Solution
Integration of a dish washing machine SMS messaging system with a remote communicator, enabling text-based communication for controlling and receiving information from the machine via SMS messages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If remote control capability is added to dish washing machine, then user interaction and convenience are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an SMS messaging system as an intermediary communication channel between the remote communicator and the dish washing machine. This mediator enables remote control functionality by translating SMS messages into machine commands, avoiding the need for complex direct communication hardware while achieving remote operation capability
2Loss of information
If SMS messaging system is integrated, then information exchange capability is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dish washing machine utilizes the existing SMS messaging infrastructure provided by mobile networks and the manufacturer's server platform. Rather than building a complete communication system from scratch, the machine leverages these external services to achieve information exchange capability, significantly reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining robust communication functionality
3Productivity
If remote monitoring is enabled, then operational efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated feedback loops where the dish washing machine monitors its operational status (water levels, cycle progress, errors) and automatically sends SMS notifications to users. This feedback mechanism enables remote monitoring and timely interventions without requiring complex real-time communication systems, maintaining operational efficiency while controlling system complexity

AI summary
A dish washing machine communication system including a dish washing machine having a dish washing machine SMS messaging system and a remote communicator with a remote communicator SMS messaging system, with the remote communicator being physically separate from the dish washing machine. The remote communicator SMS messaging system of the remote communicator sends instructions and/or requests for information to the dish washing machine SMS messaging system of the dish washing machine in text format. The dish washing machine SMS messaging system of the dish washing machine also sends information to the remote communicator SMS messaging system of the remote communicator in text format.
