Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance with a user interface for visualizing control information and for inputting commands for controlling the operation of the household appliance.
  • the household appliances to which the invention relates comprise:
  • the user interface is formed in one or more fixed positions of the housing or of the treatment seat (refrigerator) and comprises one or more buttons or knobs or capacitive touch sensors and, possibly, visual indicators, e.g. warning lights or a liquid crystal display (TFT) or OLED.
  • US2012327201 A1 discloses a projected display, onto the surface of an appliance, of a user interface that can be utilized to make selections regarding the operation of the appliance.
  • DE102012106181A1 discloses a household appliance having a display device for displaying appliance information, where the display device has a projector for projecting the appliance information on a projection area.
  • US2010182136A1 discloses a method of control of appliances, kitchen and home.
  • the user interfaces of the household appliances of the prior art were satisfactory at a time in which the development of strategies and treatment parameters, OSDs, communication data and electronic control went hand in hand with the development of processing apparatuses, with the evolution of the design of the household appliance housings and with the average lifetime of the appliances.
  • a reason for dissatisfaction of known household appliances is the impossibility of providing user interfaces that are sufficiently large and extended to display large amounts of treatment control information, without spatial interference with other components of the household appliance.
  • a further reason for dissatisfaction with known household appliances is the conflict between the need for flat and extended housing surfaces to position a liquid crystal display (TFT) or OLED and the desire for an innovative design of the appliance with curved surfaces and with freely definable colors and surface structures.
  • TFT liquid crystal display
  • OLED organic light-emitting diode
  • a further reason for dissatisfaction with known household appliances is the conflict between the need to have very large openings and access doors or hatches, the relatively small outer dimensions being the same, in order to facilitate the loading of the household products in the household appliance and the need to provide, often on the same front walls of the appliance, free spaces for installing the user interface.
  • a further reason for dissatisfaction with known household appliances is that, today, a specific concept of user interface must be designed in close connection with a specific project of the household appliance and its exterior design, making it difficult to transfer a new concept of user interface to a preexisting household appliance, the exterior design of which one wishes to keep or to another type of household appliance having a different external shape.
  • a user interface having features such as to be easily adaptable to household appliances with non-continuous surfaces, e.g. in the presence of moving parts (hatch, door, detergent drawer) and/or non-planar parts, and which can be easily applied and transferred between housings with different aesthetic design, versatile with reference to display size, to the information to be visualized and to the input commands to be allowed.
  • the display means of the user interface comprise at least one video projector mounted onto the household appliance at its outer wall and configured to visualize, by means of a light projecting process onto a display area of the outer surface of the housing.
  • the visualization by means of light projection allows to make user interfaces with a display field that is sufficiently large and extended for visualizing a large amount of treatment control information, without any spatial interference with the various components which form the outer surface of the household appliance.
  • Visualizing by means of light projection also allows a visualization on interrupted surfaces or on surfaces consisting of areas of different structure and/or color, as well as on non-planar surfaces and thus allows an innovative aesthetic design of the household appliance with curved surfaces and with freely definable colors and surface structures.
  • Visualizing by means of light projection also allows very large openings and access doors or hatches in order to facilitate the loading of the domestic products to be treated, without any need to provide additional spaces devoted exclusively to visualization only, the visualization being possible, at least in part, on the same access doors (e.g. in the case of an oven, a refrigerator or a laundry or dish washing/drying machine) or even on the treatment seat (e.g. in the case of a cook top or an ironing board) if the latter forms part of the outer surface of the housing.
  • the same access doors e.g. in the case of an oven, a refrigerator or a laundry or dish washing/drying machine
  • the treatment seat e.g. in the case of a cook top or an ironing board
  • the video projector can be at least partially concealed by the housing and its dimensions do not depend on the size or direction of the performed light projection. This facilitates the transfer of a user interface concept between household appliances with different exterior designs.
  • the user command insertion means comprise at least one command input sensor adapted to detect a positioning and/or a movement of the user's hand at the display area
  • the electronic control system comprises association means which:
  • the electronic control system is configured to set the treatment program parameters in dependency of the generated command input signals.
  • a household appliance 1 comprises:
  • the display means 13 comprise at least one video projector 14 mounted onto the household appliance 1 at the outer wall 3 and configured to visualize, by means of a light projecting process onto a display area 15 of the outer surface 4 of the housing 2.
  • the user command insertion means 12 comprise at least one command input sensor 16 adapted to detect a positioning and/or a movement of the user's hand at the display area 15, and generate a corresponding hand position and/or movement signal.
  • the electronic control system 10 and/or the user interface 19 comprises an interpretation and association module which receives and processes the hand position and/or movement signal and generates a user command signal in dependency of which the electronic control system 10 sets the treatment program parameters and/or controls the display, by means of the video projector 14.
  • the outer surface 4 in the areas of the outer surface 4 provided to implement the visualization by projecting of light, is colored and treated so as to have a higher light reflectivity with respect to an area which is not intended for visualization.
  • the outer surface 4 may be either continuous or discontinuous, e.g. formed by parts of the appliance 1 connected to one another without mutual continuity of the outer surface and/or moving parts.
  • the outer surface 4 in the areas of the outer surface 4 intended for implementing the visualization by projecting light, the outer surface 4 may be planar or non-planar, e.g. curved.
  • the household appliance 1 comprises a door 18 for closing the treatment seat 5 during the execution of the treatment program and the display area 15 may extend at least also on the part of the outer surface 4 formed by the door 18.
  • the treatment seat 5 is exposed directly to the outside of the household appliance 1 and forms at least part of the outer surface 4, and the display area 15 extends at least also on the part of the outer surface 4 formed by the treatment seat 5.
  • the housing 2 of the appliance 1 forms an auxiliary access opening for an accessory (e.g. a detergent drawer, a bag of powder, a filter, a condensation collection drawer) of the one or more treatment devices 7, which can be closed by an auxiliary cover 19 during the execution of the treatment program, and the display area 15 can extend at least also on the part of the outer surface 4 formed by the auxiliary cover 19.
  • an accessory e.g. a detergent drawer, a bag of powder, a filter, a condensation collection drawer
  • the household appliance 1 comprises a single video projector 14.
  • the household appliance 1 comprises a plurality of said video projectors 14 configured to project light onto one same display area 15 and/or onto a plurality of said display areas 15 which are distinct and at a distance or adjacent to each other.
  • the individual video projectors 14 may be positioned on two opposite or different sides of the display area 15 and project in opposite directions or in different directions, in order to avoid the appearance of shadows when approaching of the user's hand to the display area 15.
  • the video projectors 14 are configured and controlled by the electronic control system 10 so that the light wavelengths and/or the lighting frequency are compatible and do not imply destructive interferences of the projected light.
  • the electronic control system 10 or the video projector 14 comprises anti-distortion means configured to calculate and generate a pre-counter-distorted image to be projected, e.g. by means of rectangle-to-trapezium pre-counter-distortion, in the opposite direction with respect to an inclined projection, e.g. from rectangle to trapezium, of the image projected onto the outer surface 4 because of the light cone of the video projector 14 and of the inclination of the projection axis with respect to the outer surface 4 in the display area 15.
  • anti-distortion means configured to calculate and generate a pre-counter-distorted image to be projected, e.g. by means of rectangle-to-trapezium pre-counter-distortion, in the opposite direction with respect to an inclined projection, e.g. from rectangle to trapezium, of the image projected onto the outer surface 4 because of the light cone of the video projector 14 and of the inclination of the projection axis with respect to the outer surface 4 in the display area 15.
  • the pre-counter-distortion of the image occurs in dependency of the projection cone angle and of the inclination angle of the projection axis of the video projector 14 with respect to the outer surface 4 in the display area 15, so as to compensate the projection distortion.
  • the one or more video projectors 14 may comprise one or more of:
  • the one or more video projectors 14 are configured as micro or pico projectors.
  • the video projector 14 is positioned entirely inside the housing 2 on an inner side 20 of the outer wall 3 and performs the light projection through a window opening 21 formed in the outer wall 3.
  • the window opening 21 may be a through opening or protected by a protective wall 22 which is transparent and/or which can be opened and closed by means of a protective cover 23 and/or by means of a shutter 24. This allows to conceal and protect the video projector 14.
  • the video projector 14 comprises an inner part 25 located entirely inside the housing 2, i.e. on an inner side 20 of the outer wall 3, and an outer part 26 positioned completely outside the housing 2, i.e. on an outer side of the outer wall 3, wherein the volume of the inner part 25 is greater than the volume of the outer part 26. This reduces the visual impact of the video projector on the aesthetic appearance of the household appliance.
  • the video projector 14 is supported in a concealable and movable manner between a rest position inside the housing 2 and a work position, in which the video projector 14 protrudes at least partially outside the housing 2.
  • the position and/or orientation of the video projector 14 are adjustable, e.g. by means of the electronic control system 10.
