Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual temperature adjustment is used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates for elderly and children users
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects indoor temperature using the existing air temperature sensor and adjusts the temperature setting without user intervention. The control unit autonomously determines the appropriate temperature based on sensor data, eliminating the need for manual operation while maintaining simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the temperature parameter automatically based on readings from the air temperature sensor. By monitoring temperature parameters and adjusting settings dynamically, the system achieves automated control without requiring complex additional hardware.
2Extent of automation
If additional temperature sensors are added for automatic detection, then ease of operation improves, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The existing air temperature sensor, originally designed for warm air function monitoring, is repurposed to detect indoor temperature for automatic temperature adjustment. This multi-functional use of the sensor achieves automation without adding extra components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses its own existing sensor resources to perform temperature detection and automatic adjustment, making the system self-sufficient without requiring external or additional sensing components.
3Measurement precision
If continuous temperature monitoring is performed, then temperature adjustment accuracy improves, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs temperature monitoring and adjustment periodically rather than continuously. The control unit checks temperature at intervals and adjusts settings when changes are detected, reducing energy consumption while maintaining adequate measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the air temperature sensor to trigger temperature adjustments only when necessary. By monitoring temperature changes and responding to significant variations, the system achieves accurate temperature control while minimizing unnecessary sensor operations and energy use.

AI summary
A temperature adjustment method by using an intelligent toilet includes obtaining an indoor temperature from an air temperature sensor of the intelligent toilet in response to a determination that a warm air function or a flushing function remains inactivated for a preset time duration. The method also includes determining a to-be-adjusted temperature setting according to the indoor temperature. The method also includes setting a current temperature setting of the intelligent toilet to the to-be-adjusted temperature setting in response to a determination that the current temperature setting of the intelligent toilet is different from the to-be-adjusted temperature setting.
