Sanitary shower / washing device with shower and washing programs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sanitary shower/washing facilities lack the ability to dynamically adapt to a user's current needs and conditions, providing a fixed showering/washing experience that may not align with their current state or preferences.
Innovation Solution
A sanitary shower/washing facility equipped with a water delivery unit, situation detection unit, and user identification unit that collects and analyzes user data to generate a variable shower/washing program, allowing for real-time adjustments to parameters such as water temperature, pressure, and ambiance based on user status and preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed shower program is provided, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to user needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting user presence and status before the shower program begins, then pre-configures the optimal shower program based on detected parameters. The control unit stores multiple shower programs and automatically selects the appropriate one based on user identification and current status, preparing the shower experience in advance without requiring manual user input during the shower process.
2Extent of automation
If manual intervention is required to adjust shower parameters, then the automation level is reduced, but the ease of operation is improved
Solution Approach 1:
The shower system performs self-service by automatically detecting user presence through sensors, identifying the user, determining their current status (such as time of day, weather conditions, or physiological state), and autonomously selecting and executing the appropriate shower program without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by making all configuration decisions based on detected parameters.
3Loss of time
If shower parameters are manually adjusted, then the loss of time for configuration is reduced, but the productivity of the shower process is improved
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring user status parameters (such as time of day, weather conditions, or physiological data) and using this feedback information to automatically adjust and select the optimal shower program. The control unit receives feedback from sensors and other data sources, then dynamically configures shower parameters to match current conditions, eliminating configuration time while optimizing the shower experience.

AI summary
Sanitary shower/washing unit capable of providing the user with a variable and, in particular, situational shower/washing program. The shower/washing unit comprises a water dispensing unit (1) configured to dispense water at a shower/washing location, a situation detection unit (2) configured to detect shower/washing situation data (Dsd), a user identification unit (2a) configured to identify a user at the shower/washing location, and a user state detection unit (2b) that detects at least one user state parameter indicative of the user's current state at the shower/washing location, wherein the shower/washing situation data includes corresponding user identification data (Bid) and user state data (Bzd), and a shower/washing process control unit (3).which is configured to provide shower/wash program suggestion data variably depending on the shower/wash situation data recorded by the situation detection unit, to store shower/wash program data, to define a current shower/wash program and to control each activated shower/wash process with the water delivered by the water delivery unit according to the defined current shower/wash program.
