Abstract

A free-standing electronic commode bidet system, a bidet system, and an electronic commode bidet system for insertion onto a wheelchair, all three systems using artificial intelligence and spectroscopy software incorporating fecal detection algorithms. The systems use one or more internal cameras, or other sensors, to capture one or more images of a user as he or she sits on the commode prior to use. The systems automatically detect feces on a user by detecting the absorption spectra of bilirubin, a biomarker of feces. The systems calculate the ratio of green or red light to blue light on an RGB light spectrum. In the presence of bilirubin, more blue light will be absorbed by feces, and the green and red light are not absorbed. Once feces are detected and located on the user, the systems activate one or more water sprays to clean the feces from the user.

Dependent claims

An electronic commode system with artificial intelligence, computer vision, and spectroscopy software comprising:

a re-fillable water reservoir tank;
a bowl with an opening;
a seat;
a seat lid;
at least one fluid nozzle for ejecting fluid;
means on the commode for moving the fluid nozzle in three-dimensions within the bowl;
at least one air dryer comprising an air dryer nozzle and means on the commode for moving the air dryer nozzle in three-dimensions within the bowl;
a computing device comprising executable software and a memory storage device;
a camera contained within the bowl, wherein the camera is operatively connected to the computing device;
a light source within the commode proximate to the camera;
at least one actuating device for activating the commode, wherein the activated commode illuminates the genital, anal, and surrounding areas of the buttock regions of a user through the bowl opening with the light source with white light;
wherein the camera captures a first plurality of images of the illuminated genital, anal, and surrounding areas of the buttock regions of the user through the bowl opening of the commode, wherein the first plurality of images is transmitted to the computing device and analyzed with software to identify feces on the user by detecting the absorption spectra of bilirubin compared to skin of the user in white light;
wherein the computing device sends a signal to the means for moving the fluid nozzle in three-dimensions to automatically adjust the nozzle to eject fluid for cleaning any detected feces on the user's genital and rectal areas;
wherein the camera captures a second plurality of image of the illuminated genital, anal, and surrounding areas of the buttock regions of the user through the bowl opening of the commode, wherein the second plurality of images is transmitted to the computing device and analyzed with software to identify any remaining feces on the user by detecting the absorption spectra of bilirubin compared to skin of the user in white light;
wherein the computing device sends a signal to the means for moving the fluid nozzle in three-dimensions to automatically adjust the nozzle to eject fluid for cleaning any detected remaining feces on the user's genital and rectal areas;
wherein the camera continues capturing additional pluralities of images of the illuminated genital, anal, and surrounding areas of the buttock regions of the user for analysis with the software to identify any remaining feces on the user by detecting the absorption spectra of bilirubin compared to skin of the user in white light until no more feces is identified;
and
further wherein the computing device sends a signal to the means for moving the air nozzle in three-dimensions to automatically adjust the air nozzles to eject dry air for drying for the user's genital and rectal areas.
