Solution Overview
Problem
Floor processing devices face challenges in efficiently processing environments with inhomogeneous surface properties, often requiring users to frequently change or assemble floor processing elements for different surface parameters, leading to user inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
The data processing device analyzes the entire environment to determine the surface parameter that covers the largest portion and recommends a universal floor processing element for optimal processing, minimizing user effort by averaging surface parameters and suggesting a single accessory for the entire environment, which can be transmitted to the user via an interface.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the floor processing device transmits recommendations for different device parameters for each surface parameter detected in inhomogeneous environments, then the processing optimization for each surface area is improved, but the user is bothered by frequent information communication and the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual decision-making process with an automated evaluation system. The data processing device automatically evaluates surface parameters, calculates surface portions, and determines optimal device parameters without requiring continuous user intervention or manual surface assessment, thereby improving productivity while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the approach from transmitting multiple specific recommendations to transmitting a single evaluated recommendation based on surface portion calculation. The system evaluates which surface parameter covers the largest surface portion and recommends the corresponding device parameter, simplifying the information communicated to the user while maintaining processing optimization.
2Productivity
If the floor processing device transmits recommendations for different device parameters for each surface parameter detected in inhomogeneous environments, then the processing optimization for each surface area is improved, but the device complexity and information processing increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential information needed for optimization: the surface parameter that covers the largest surface portion. Instead of processing and transmitting all detected surface parameters and their corresponding recommendations, the system identifies and transmits only the most relevant recommendation, reducing data processing complexity while maintaining productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary evaluation of surface parameters and their respective portions before transmitting recommendations. The data processing device pre-calculates which surface parameter dominates the environment and prepares a single optimized recommendation in advance, reducing the complexity of real-time decision-making and information transmission.
3Reliability
If the user manually changes floor processing elements for different surface parameters, then the processing quality for each surface type is improved, but the user effort and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the floor processing device to automatically determine and adapt to the appropriate processing element based on detected surface parameters. The device independently evaluates the environment, identifies the dominant surface type, and selects the corresponding processing element without requiring manual user intervention, thereby maintaining high processing quality while eliminating time loss from manual element replacement.
Data Source
AI summary
A floor processing device has a floor processing element, a detection device for detecting a surface parameter of the floor surface, and a data processing device. The data processing device has a data memory, which stores a recommended use belonging to a surface parameter of the floor surface for using a specific floor processing element. The data processing device retrieves the recommended use from the data memory and transmits it to a user via an interface. The data processing device compares the size of a first surface area that has a first surface parameter with the size of the remaining surface areas of the environment, which have a surface parameter that deviates from the first surface parameter, and retrieves the recommended use from the data memory corresponding to the surface parameter that corresponds to the largest surface portion from the entirety of the surface areas.
