Abstract
In a method for controlling a dishwasher, a user preference is captured for a cleaning cycle of the dishwasher. Parameters associated with a cleaning cycle of the dishwasher are read over a plurality of cleaning cycles, and a user input that indicates satisfaction by the user with one of the cleaning cycles is captured. An optimization is determined of a parameter of the parameters on the basis of the user input and the user preference.
Claims17
A method for controlling a dishwasher, comprising:
- capturing a user preference of a user for a cleaning cycle of the dishwasher;
- reading, over a plurality of cleaning cycles, parameters associated with the cleaning cycle of the dishwasher;
- capturing a user input that indicates satisfaction by the user with one of the plurality of cleaning cycles;
- optimizing a parameter of the parameters based on based the user input and the user preference;
- and
- controlling the dishwasher based on the optimized parameter.
A computer program product, comprising computer-readable program code that, when executed by an execution device or stored on a non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium, causes execution of a method for controlling a dishwasher, the method comprising capturing a user preference of a user for a cleaning cycle of the dishwasher, reading, over a plurality of cleaning cycles, parameters associated with the cleaning cycle of the dishwasher, capturing a user input that indicates satisfaction by the user with one of the plurality of cleaning cycles, optimizing a parameter of the parameters based on the user input and the user preference, and controlling the dishwasher based on the optimized parameter.
Apparatus for controlling a dishwasher, comprising:
- a first input device configured to capture a user preference of a user for a cleaning cycle of the dishwasher;
- an interface configured to read, over a plurality of cleaning cycles, parameters associated with the cleaning cycle of the dishwasher;
- a second input device configured to capture a user input that indicates satisfaction by the user with one of the plurality of cleaning cycles;
- a processing device configured to optimize a parameter of the parameters based on the user input and the user preference;
- and
- controlling the dishwasher based on the optimized parameter.
