Household dishwasher machine, system comprising household dishwasher machine, and method for operating a household dishwasher machine

A system, comprising:

• a household dishwasher comprising a washing compartment, an activatable unit arranged in the washing compartment, a control device configured to actuate the activatable unit, an optical sensor configured to acquire an optical sensor signal of the washing compartment, and a communication unit for bidirectional communication with a remote server, said communication unit configured to transmit the acquired optical sensor signal to the remote server and to receive a control command from the remote server for actuating the activatable unit in response to transmitting the acquired optical sensor signal to the remote server and to forward the received control command to the control device;
• the remote server configured to identify a malfunction of the household dishwasher based on processing the optical sensor signal received from the communication unit of the household dishwasher, to determine an actuation of the activatable unit based on the malfunction, and to transmit the control command to the household dishwasher for causing the activatable unit to perform the actuation;
• and
• a data network via which the household dishwasher and the remote server are configured to communicate.

A method for operating a household dishwasher, said method comprising:

• acquiring, by an optical sensor, an optical sensor signal of a washing compartment of the household dishwasher;
• transmitting, by a communication unit, the acquired optical sensor signal to a remote server, the remote server being configured to identify a malfunction of the household dishwasher based on the optical sensor signal and determine an actuation of an activatable unit in the washing compartment based on the malfunction;
• in response to transmitting the acquired optical sensor signal to the remote server, receiving a control command from the remote server by the communication unit;
• and
• causing, by a control device, the activatable unit in the washing compartment to perform the actuation in response to receiving the control command.

A computer program product for operating a household dishwasher, comprising a program-controlled device having stored therein a computer program embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the computer program, when loaded into the program-controlled device and executed by the program-controlled device, causes the program-controlled device to execute the steps of:

• acquiring by an optical sensor an optical sensor signal of a washing compartment of the household dishwasher;
• transmitting by a communication unit the acquired optical sensor signal to a remote server, the remote server being configured to identify a malfunction of the household dishwasher based on the optical sensor signal and determine an actuation of an activatable unit in the washing compartment based on the malfunction;
• in response to transmitting the acquired optical sensor signal to the remote server, receiving a control command from the remote server by the communication unit;
• and
• causing, by a control device, the activatable unit in the washing compartment to perform the actuation in response to receiving the control command.
