Washing Machine User Recognition for Automatic Parameter Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Intelligent washing machines lack the ability to automatically determine and adapt washing parameters based on individual user preferences and laundry characteristics, leading to inefficient washing processes.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent laundry method and device that determines the current user and their washing features, such as laundry type, weight, and cleanliness requirements, to set optimal washing parameters like rotating speed and duration, allowing the washing machine to automatically adjust settings without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If washing parameters are manually set by users, then the washing machine can complete basic washing functions, but it cannot adapt to individual user preferences and laundry characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The washing machine automatically identifies the user through biometric recognition and autonomously determines optimal washing parameters based on the user's historical preferences and the detected laundry characteristics, eliminating the need for manual parameter setting by the user
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously learns from user feedback and washing results, storing washing records and preferences to refine future washing parameter recommendations, creating a closed-loop adaptive system that improves over time
2Productivity
If the washing machine uses fixed washing parameters, then the operation process is simple, but it cannot improve washing efficiency for different laundry types and user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes user profiles with preferred washing parameters based on historical data and laundry characteristics, so that when washing is needed, the optimal parameters are already determined and ready for immediate execution
Solution Approach 2:
The washing parameters are made dynamic and adjustable based on real-time detection of laundry characteristics and user preferences, allowing the system to optimize washing efficiency for each specific washing task rather than using fixed parameters
3Adaptability or versatility
If the washing machine collects and analyzes user data, then it can provide personalized washing services, but it increases the complexity of the system
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses an intermediary module that manages user data collection, storage, and analysis, separating the complex data processing functions from the core washing control system, thereby enabling personalization while maintaining system modularity and manageability

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an intelligent laundry method and device. The method includes: when a user starts to wash laundry using a washing machine, determining the current user of the washing machine, determining washing features of the user, determining washing parameters of laundry according to the washing features, and washing the laundry according to the washing parameters. The intelligent laundry method can adopt different washing parameters according to different users, and the process of determining washing parameters is done by the washing machine itself, without requiring participation of the user, making the laundry process more intelligent.
