Washing Machine Quick Shopping Trigger Signal and Server Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often forget to purchase washing supplies in time, leading to inconvenience, especially for busy individuals, as they need to manually search and order online, which is time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A method where a washing machine sends a trigger signal to a server, which selects and displays recommended supplies on an intelligent terminal, allowing users to quickly purchase them with minimal effort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If users manually search and order washing supplies on online shopping malls, then they can purchase supplies, but it takes a lot of time and is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The washing machine performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting when washing supplies are used up and proactively sending trigger signals to the server. The system pre-prepares commodity recommendations and sends them to the user's terminal device before the user needs to shop, eliminating the need for manual searching and ordering.
Solution Approach 2:
The washing machine serves itself by automatically monitoring its own supply levels and initiating the shopping process without user intervention. The system autonomously completes detection, signal transmission, and commodity recommendation delivery, allowing users to simply click to purchase.
2Reliability
If users forget to purchase washing supplies after being engaged in other tasks, then they can focus on their tasks, but washing supplies are used up and shopping cannot be realized in time
Solution Approach 1:
The washing machine implements a feedback mechanism by continuously monitoring the usage status of washing supplies and automatically sending trigger signals to the server when supplies are depleted. This closed-loop feedback system ensures timely detection and response, notifying users through their terminal devices when it's time to replenish supplies, thereby eliminating forgetfulness.
3Ease of operation
If the washing machine automatically sends trigger signals and the server selects commodities, then shopping is simplified and quick, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary between the washing machine and the user's terminal device. It receives trigger signals from the washing machine, automatically selects appropriate washing supplies based on preset conditions, and sends recommendations to the user. This intermediary approach simplifies the user interface while managing the complexity of automated commodity selection and recommendation logic.

AI summary
A method for quick shopping by using a washing machine comprises: enabling the washing machine to receive a trigger signal; sending a quick shopping command to a server, wherein the quick shopping command comprises identity recognition information and an identifier of the trigger signal; enabling the server to search for a commodity selecting condition corresponding to the quick shopping command, and send commodities that meet the commodity selecting condition to an intelligent terminal bound with the washing machine after the server receives the quick shopping command; and enabling the intelligent terminal to display the selected commodities on a display interface, wherein the displayed information at least comprises commodity identifiers and URL addresses corresponding to the commodity identifiers. According to the scheme, the method realizes quick shopping of commodities by using the washing machine, simplifies the online shopping operation of users, and saves shopping time.
