  • The present invention relates to a washing machine control method wherein the user constructs the washing program with modules consisting of his/her own parameters with the "gamification" method.
  • Today, conventional washing machines have washing programs defined according to algorithms and parameters determined by certain standards and laboratory studies. In said washing programs, detergent type differences, laundry type selection, the hardness of the mains water used, changes in such parameters and similar parameters sometimes affect the washing programs, and therefore the washing machine cannot fully fulfill the performance expectations of the users. As a result, users become dissatisfied with the performance of the product.
  • Moreover, in the state of the art washing machines, the user usually does not know what algorithm the washing program he/she selects works with. Generally, the user cannot choose the amount of water, electricity and energy consumption, or the duration.
  • In the state of the art Chinese Patent Application No. CN111206377 , a household appliance control method is disclosed, comprising the steps of obtaining the standard parameters of the target program by being adjusted according to the user parameters, displaying standard parameters and user parameters and differences therebetween on the household appliance, and deciding whether there is a technical problem.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of a washing machine control method wherein the user constructs the washing program with modules consisting of his/her own parameters.
  • The washing machine control method realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a mobile interface suitable for enabling the user to select the washing program and the parameters thereof, the control method further comprising the steps of determining an input module suitable for the user to select parameters according to the characteristics of the laundry to be washed in the washing machine via the mobile interface, a washing module suitable for the selection of parameters according to the characteristics of the washing program and an output module suitable for the selection of the parameters according to the characteristics desired to be obtained by the laundry at the end of the washing program, and transferring to the user the washing program consumption parameters determined as a result of the selected input module, washing module and output module.
  • By means of the present invention, the user can customize the washing program to be used as per his/her preferences while remaining within the safety limits. By means of the mobile interface organized as a mobile game, the user is enabled to use the washing machine while having more fun and to understand the working of the washing machine more clearly. Thus, the user is allowed to consider the use of the washing machine a fun activity rather than a burden.
