Description
PERFORMANCE AND RESOURCE CONSUMPTION
VISUALIZATION
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a method of controlling operation of a washing appliance, and a washing appliance being controlled by the method.
BACKGROUND
In prior art washing appliances such as e.g. dishwashers and washing machines, a user selects a washing program via a user interface, and is presented to a resource consumption parameter, such as e.g.“time”, i.e. estimated duration of the selected washing program.
US 2010/0287711 further discloses that in addition to be presented to the estimated duration of the selected washing program, the user is presented to a performance measure of the selected washing program and is allowed to adjust the performance of the selected washing program. For instance, an intensiveness measure is displayed to the user, wherein the user can increase or decrease the intensiveness of the selected program depending on how soiled the laundry to be washed is.
However, indicating measures associated with performance and resource consumption in absolute terms is a difficult task, since these measures depend on many factors some of which are unknown at the start of a washing program. Further, it is difficult for a user to evaluate these performance and resource consumption measures.
SUMMARY
An objective of the invention is to solve, or at least mitigate, this problem in the art, and to provide an improved user interface of an appliance for washing and rinsing goods.
This objective is attained in a first aspect of the invention by a method of controlling operation of a washing appliance. The method comprises displaying, on a user interface of the washing appliance, at least one measure
of performance of a selected washing program for the washing appliance, displaying on the user interface at least one measure of resource
consumption of the selected washing program, indicating on the user interface a level of performance and resource consumption of the selected washing program in relation to a level of performance and resource consumption of a reference washing program, allowing a user to operate the user interface to change the level of the performance and/or resource consumption of the selected washing program, wherein the washing appliance adapts the selected cleaning program to comply with the changed level of the performance and/or resource consumption, and displaying on the user interface the level of performance and resource consumption of the adapted selected washing program.
This objective is attained in a second aspect of the invention by a washing appliance being configured to be controlled by a user. The washing
compliance comprises a user interface being configured to receive user instructions for controlling operation of the washing appliance, and a processing unit being configured to be communicatively connected to the user interface. The user interface is configured to display at least one measure of performance of a selected washing program for the washing appliance, display at least one measure of resource consumption of the selected washing program, indicate a level of performance and resource consumption of the selected washing program in relation to a level of performance and resource consumption of a reference washing program, and allow a user to operate the user interface to change the level of the performance and/or resource consumption of the selected washing program. The processing unit is configured to adapt the selected cleaning program of the washing appliance to comply with the changed level of the performance and/or resource consumption, and the user interface is further configured to display the level of performance and resource consumption of the adapted selected washing program.
In an embodiment, the user selects a pre-set washing program, for instance an“Intensive“ program. As the name implies, a level of a performance
measure such as degree of cleaning is high for such a program, as are typically levels of resource consumption measures in the form of e.g. energy and water consumption.
By displaying the levels of performance of resource consumption on the user interface in relation to a reference program - such as an Eco program - the uses is advantageously made aware of the high levels of resource
consumption of the selected Intensive program.
In the invention, the user is allowed to operate the user interface, embodied in the form of e.g. a touch-screen display, such that the level of one or more displayed performance and/or resource consumption measures can be adjusted.
As an example, the user decreases the level of energy consumption of the selected Intensive program, and the washing appliance will in response to the decreased level of energy consumption adapt settings of the washing program to comply with the new level of energy consumption as determined by the user.
For instance, the washing appliance may advantageously decrease the level of cleaning of the goods to be cleaned in the appliance in order to comply with the new desired lower level of energy consumption, and present the new levels of the performance and resource consumption measures to the user on he user interface.
In an embodiment, the at least one measure of performance is selected from a group comprising degree of cleaning and degree of drying goods to be washed.
In another embodiment, the at least one measure of resource consumption is selected from a group comprising energy consumption, water consumption, washing program duration and sound level of the washing appliance.
In a further embodiment, when displaying the level of performance and the resource consumption of the selected washing program with the washing
appliance adapting to the changed performance and/or consumption, the washing appliance may display on the user interface the level of performance and resource consumption of at least two different adaptions of the selected washing program, wherein the two adaptions both achieve the user-changed level of performance and/or resource consumption.
Generally, all terms used in the claims are to be interpreted according to their ordinary meaning in the technical field, unless explicitly defined otherwise herein. All references to "a/an/the element, apparatus, component, means, step, etc." are to be interpreted openly as referring to at least one instance of the element, apparatus, component, means, step, etc., unless explicitly stated otherwise.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which certain embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided by way of example so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout the description.
In prior art washing appliances such as e.g. dishwashers and washing machines, a user selects a washing program via a user interface, and is presented to a resource consumption parameter, such as e.g.“time”, i.e. estimated duration of the selected washing program.
US 2010/0287711 further discloses that in addition to be presented to the estimated duration of the selected washing program, the user is presented to a performance measure of the selected washing program and is allowed to adjust the performance of the selected washing program. For instance, an intensiveness measure is displayed to the user, wherein the user can increase or decrease the intensiveness of the selected program depending on how soiled the laundry to be washed is.
However, indicating measures associated with performance and resource consumption in absolute terms is a difficult task, since these measures depend on many factors some of which are unknown at the start of a washing
program. Further, it is difficult for a user to evaluate these performance and resource consumption measures.
Figure l shows a prior art appliance for washing and rinsing goods in the form of a dishwasher l in which the present invention can be implemented. It should be noted that dishwashers can take on many forms and include many different functionalities. The dishwasher l illustrated in Figure l is thus used to explain different embodiments of the present invention and should only be seen as an example of a dishwasher in which the present application can be applied. The present invention may further advantageously be implemented in a washing machine.
The exemplifying dishwasher l comprises a washing compartment or tub 2, a door 4 configured to close and seal the washing compartment 2, a spraying system having a lower wash arm 3 and an upper wash arm 5, a lower rack 6 and an upper rack 7. Additionally, it may comprise a specific top rack for cutlery (not shown). A controller 11 such as a microprocessor is arranged in the interior of the dishwasher for controlling washing programmes and is communicatively connected to a user interface 8 via which a user can select washing programmes. The operation of the dishwasher 1 is typically controlled by the controller 11 executing appropriate software stored in a memory.
The door 4 of the prior art dishwasher 1 illustrated in Figure 1 is further on its inside arranged with a small detergent dispenser 9 having a lid 10 being controllably opened and closed by the controller 11 for dispensing detergent from the dispenser 9 into the washing compartment 2.
Figure 2 illustrates a user interface 8 according to an embodiment showing performance and resource consumption of a washing program to be used as a reference program - for instance an Eco program - against which other selected programs are to be benchmarked.
In the example reference program illustrated in Figure 2, it can be seen that two measures of performance are included:“cleaning” and“drying”. Further,
three measures of resource consumption are included:“energy”,“water” and “time”. Each measure is in this example graded in 10 steps. It is noted that further (or less) measures could be included and other gradings may be used.
In the reference Eco program, the level of cleaning is high (8 out of io), and so is the level of drying (9/10). From the resource consumption, it can be seen that a relatively low amount of energy is consumed (3/10), while the amount of water used is slightly above moderate (6/10) and the duration of the program is long (10/10). From an environmental point of view, the reference Eco program is considered environmental-friendly and sustainable as regards resource consumption, at the expense of a longer program time duration.
Now, Figure 3 illustrates a pre-set washing program according to an embodiment, as selected by the user and referred to as“Intensive“. As the name implies, the performance measures are high; the level of cleaning is 10/10 while the level of drying is 8/10. As a consequence, the levels of the resource consumption measures in the form of energy and water
consumption are both high; 8 and 9, respectively, while the duration of the washing program is shorter: 4. It is noted that these figures may be displayed to the user on the user interface 8 even before he/she actually has started a selected program.
Reference will further be made to a flowchart of Figure 4 illustrating a method of controlling operation of a washing appliance according to an embodiment.
As helpful guidance to the user, the level of cleaning and drying of the reference program - i.e. the Eco program of Figure 2 - are indicated on the user interface 8, as are the measures of resource consumption in the form of energy, water and time.
Hence, in steps S101-S103, the user is given an indication on the user interface 8 of the level of performance and the resource consumption of the selected washing program (“Intensive” ) in relation to the level of
performance and resource consumption of the reference washing program (”Eco”).
Assuming that the user upon selecting the Intensive program would consider the energy consumption (which amounts to 8) to be too high, the present invention allows the user in step S104 to operate the user interface, embodied in the form of e.g. a touch-screen display, such that the level of one or more displayed measures can be adjusted.
In an exemplifying embodiment illustrated with reference to the user interface of Figure 5, the user decreases the energy consumption from a level of 8 being the default setting for the Intensive program of Figure 3 down to 6 as shown in Figure 5.
With the lower allowed level of energy consumption, the washing appliance will adapt to the new user-controlled settings in that the level of cleaning and drying will be lowered from 10 to 9, as advantageously displayed to the user in step S105. If the user is pleased with the figures on the user interface 8, he/she can start the selected program, or in case a program is already running, press a confirmation icon to indicate to the washing appliance that it should adapt to the new settings.
As is understood, the washing appliance may be configured with one or more pre-set washing programs which the user is allowed to modify in accordance with the invention.
Moreover, further performance measures may e envisaged, such as for instance“sound level”, where a user would be allowed to adapt a selected cleaning program to lower a sound level of the washing appliance.
In another embodiment, the washing appliance presents one or more alternative program setting on the user interface 8, all complying with the desired result as defined by the user.
For instance, in addition to the presented program setting of Figure 5, the washing appliance may compute alternative program setting which will
achieve the same desired result of lowering the energy consumption level down to 6/io.
Figure 6 thus shows the user interface 8, where the level of energy
consumption indeed has been lowered to 6. However, the washing appliance displays an alternative program setting where the default level of cleaning, i.e. 10, still can be achieved given that the duration of the program is increased from 4 to 6.
In yet an embodiment, the user interface is equipped with“Options” icons such as“AntiWrinkles”,“Temperature”,“Centrifuging”, etc., depending on the particular washing appliance.
Further, options such as’’ExtraHygiene” for ensuring bacteria-destroying temperatures for sufficiently long time, or” GlassCare” or’’HandWash” for triggering a particularly lenient washing program, or“Pots&Pans” or “Cotton/Wool/Synthetics” for indicating type of goods washed in the appliance, can be envisaged.
Selecting an option may affect to which degree a user can change the measures of performance and/or resource consumption. For instance, if ’’ExtraHygiene” is selected, a certain minimum level of energy must be consumed by the washing appliance in order to ensure a bacteria-destroying temperature. In another example, if an option such as“ExtraRinse” is selected, a certain amount of water will inevitably be consumed.
It is understood, that a great variety of pre-set programs are envisaged, such as e.g. the“Quick 30” program illustrated in Figure 7.
In this particular washing program, the program duration is only 30 minutes, with a level of energy consumption and water consumption of 5. This results in a moderate level of cleaning and drying, both illustrated to be 5.
In this particular exemplifying embodiment, the user wishes to attain a level of cleaning of 7, and thus operates the user interface to adjust the level of cleaning from 6 to 7 as illustrated in Figure 9, wherein the washing appliance
adjusts the settings of the selected program accordingly by increasing the energy level from 5 to 6 and displays the new program settings on the user interface.
The invention has mainly been described above with reference to a few embodiments. However, as is readily appreciated by a person skilled in the art, other embodiments than the ones disclosed above are equally possible within the scope of the invention, as defined by the appended patent claims
