Intelligent Toilet Temperature Control Using External Environment Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Intelligent toilets struggle to accurately acquire temperature parameters due to sensors measuring internal toilet body temperatures instead of external environment temperatures, leading to poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A control system for intelligent toilets that includes a communication device to acquire geographic location information, transmit it to a server for external environment data, and generate adjustment parameters based on this information, which are then used by a controller to control the toilet's temperature settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a sensor is set in the toilet body to measure temperature, then the toilet can acquire temperature data, but the measured temperature is the internal toilet body temperature instead of the actual external environment temperature, leading to inaccurate temperature parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a communication device as an intermediary that connects the toilet body to external servers. This intermediary enables the toilet to obtain external environment temperature information from remote sources rather than relying solely on internal sensors, thus resolving the contradiction between having temperature data and obtaining accurate external environment temperature
Solution Approach 2:
The patent shifts the temperature measurement from the physical dimension (internal sensor in toilet body) to the information dimension (external environment data obtained through communication networks). By accessing temperature data from external sources via communication devices and servers, the system obtains accurate external environment temperature without being constrained by internal sensor limitations
2Ease of operation
If the controller uses internal temperature data for heating control, then the system can operate, but the heating temperature does not match the user's sensory temperature requirements, resulting in poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the controller continuously receives external environment temperature information through the communication device and adjusts heating parameters accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that the heating temperature matches user sensory requirements by constantly referencing external environment data, thereby improving user experience while maintaining temperature accuracy

AI summary
The embodiments of this application disclose a control system and a control method of intelligent toilets. The control system includes a toilet body, a communication device which is set on the toilet body to acquire the geographic location information of the toilet body, and transmit the acquired geographic location information to a server which acquires the external environment information of the toilet body based on the geographic location information and generates the adjustment parameters based on the external environment information. The external environment information includes the environment temperature information, the environment humidity information, and the sensory temperature information. The control system also includes a controller which is set on the toilet body to receive the adjustment parameters from the server and control the working temperature of the toilet body based on the adjustment parameters.
