Definitions
- the field of the invention relates to an electronic bidet system that uses internal cameras and object recognition technology to identify and locate a user's lower body orifices such that the system automatically adjusts the bidet settings for the specific types of orifices, locations of orifices, sizes of orifices, shapes of orifices, gender, body type, weight, and other characteristics of the user.
- a bidet is a bathroom mounted plumbing fixture that uses clean water, ejected through a nozzle, to wash the genitalia, inner buttock, and anus, without the use of any paper tissue. Due to the increasing ease of use, functionality, and cleanliness, bidets are being installed in more locations that have multiple users or users with disabilities. Bidets are becoming more common in hospitals because of their utility in maintaining hygiene and their ease of use for disabled or elderly patients. Bidets often make toileting possible for disabled and elderly users, affording them greater opportunity for independence.
- Bidets are usually permanently affixed to a water supplying means and include a water reservoir tank, a bowl with a rim, a seat, a seat lid, a first fluid nozzle for ejecting water discharged from the water reservoir tank to a user's genital and rectal areas, a second fluid nozzle for cleaning the water discharged from the water reservoir tank onto the user, and a third fluid nozzle to clean the first and/or second fluid nozzles.
- a bidet may also be a nozzle attached to an existing toilet, or a part of the toilet itself.
- Modern bidets are often equipped with many electronically controlled functions that provide a more pleasant experience for the user. Some of these functions include, but are not limited to: a heating means for heating the water in the water reservoir tank to maintain the water at a certain temperature, a heating means for the bidet seat, a control means for adjusting the amount of water ejected from the fluid nozzles, and novel fluid nozzles that eject water in patterns that massage a user's genital and rectal regions.
- Modern bidets are also often equipped with electronically controlled functions that allow the devices to be more easily controlled. Some of these functions include, but are not limited to: remote controls to activate the water fluid nozzles, adjustable water pressure, temperature compensation, and seating sensors for detecting whether a user is seated on the bidet seat.
- Two relatively new features of modern bidets include fluid nozzle directional control and seating sensors for detecting whether a user is seated on the bidet seat.
- the seating sensors often use infrared or weight sensors to detect the presence of a user sitting on the bidet seat or approaching the bidet. Once a user is detected, these bidets activate from a power saving mode, which may include flushing the bowl before or after bidet use to ensure that each subsequent user has a fresh bidet.
- the fluid nozzle directional control may allow a user to adjust one of more or the fluid nozzles for a better cleaning experience.
- bidets do not provide users of different sizes, shapes, and sex with the same cleaning experience.
- Bidets are usually preset to eject water at a given direction, regardless of the size, shape, and sex of the user.
- Some bidets allow a user to manually control the direction of the ejected water, but this process is cumbersome when each user must manually adjust the bidet before usage.
- embarrassing accidents are possible where misadjusted bidet could spray water on user's cloths or surrounding furniture or walls.
- special anatomical conditions e.g. hemorrhoids
- U.S. patent number 5,201,080 discloses a bidet that uses color differences, brightness differences, and edge detection of a user sitting on the bidet to construct a simplified diagram.
- This diagram (illustrated in Figure 2 of U.S. patent number 5,201,080) is supposed to crudely represent the user's lower body on the bidet.
- This diagram is not constructed using visual object recognition as there is no analysis of the user's lower body to determine the category or identification of the user's human lower orifices. Instead, the bidet assumes that the user's anus will always be in the approximate midline of the diagram and be detected by the thick edges and differences in color.
- the subject invention overcomes the limitations of the bidet disclosed by U.S. patent number 5,201,080.
- the subject invention is a bidet that incorporates formal visual object recognition techniques. This bidet recognizes, identifies, and segments lower human body orifices for all user sizes, shapes, skin tones, gender, and skin conditions.

- the object tracking software may also determine what portions of the user's 8 genital and rectal areas 9 are soiled.
- the camera 10 may automatically capture multiple images of the user 8 before the user 8 uses the bidet 1, and after each wash cycle. These images are compared and any differences may be deemed soiled by the object tracking software. Based on these analyzed images, the controller 11 sends a signal to the nozzle 7 to begin another cleaning cycle.
- the controller 11 in the bidet 1 may automatically stop the nozzle 7 after a predetermine wash cycle and the object tracking software no longer detects any waste on the user's 8 genital and rectal areas 9.
- the controller 11 in the bidet 1 may automatically stop the nozzle 7 when the object tracking software detects that the user 8 has begun to move away from seat 5.
- the controller 11 may also activate the flushing mechanism of the bidet 1 once the object tracking software no longer detects the presence of the user 8 on seat 5.
- the nozzle 7 of the bidet 1 may automatically stop after a pre-determined number of washes, or the button 12 is pressed by the user 8.
- the controller 11 may send a signal to the camera 10 to take images of the bowl 3, bowl opening 4, seat 5, seat lid 6, and the fluid nozzle 7.
- the images are transmitted to the controller 11 and analyzed using object recognition software to identify which portions of the bidet 1 must be cleaned. Based on these analyzed images, the controller 11 sends a signal to the means 14 for moving the other fluid nozzles in three-dimensions to automatically clean the bidet 1 components.
- Figure 6 illustrates a block diagram that depicts one embodiment of the controller 11 architecture.
- the controller 11 may include a CPU/Microprocessor 15, a main RAM/NV memory 16.
- the CPU/Microprocessor 15 has a capability to interface to the camera 10 either via a built-in peripheral or an external peripheral through signal communication. This peripheral allows that CPU/Microprocessor 15 to obtain and analyze the images or video captured by the camera 10.
- a camera 10 capable of capturing images and/or video.
- the camera 10 may contain a flash unit 17 means to light the user's 8 rectal and genital regions 9.
- a weight sensor or motion detection camera 13 is used to detect the usage of the bidet.
- the Memory module 16 may include:
- the Operating system or Kernel may also reside in this NV memory.
- RAM Random Access Memory
- Embodiments of the CPU/Microprocessor 15 of the controller 11 may include processors, microprocessors, DSP, multi-core processors, microcontrollers, system- on-chips, field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), application specific integrated circuits (ASIC), application specific instruction-set processors (ASIP), or graphics processing units (GPU).
- processors microprocessors, DSP, multi-core processors, microcontrollers, system- on-chips, field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), application specific integrated circuits (ASIC), application specific instruction-set processors (ASIP), or graphics processing units (GPU).
- FPGA field programmable gate arrays
- ASIC application specific integrated circuits
- ASIP application specific instruction-set processors
- GPU graphics processing units
- main memory 16 may store computer retrievable information and software executable instructions and may also include a solid state, magnetic, or optical recording medium.
- the underlying architecture of the system may be implemented using one or more computer programs, each of which may execute under the control of an operating system, such as Windows, OS2, DOS, AIX, UNIX, Linux, or a simple kernel.
- an operating system such as Windows, OS2, DOS, AIX, UNIX, Linux, or a simple kernel.
