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

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 and to forward the received control command to the control device.

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 and to forward the received control command to the control device;
• a server configured to process the optical sensor signal received from the communication unit of the household dishwasher and to transmit a control command to the household dishwasher;
• and
• a data network via which the household dishwasher and the 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;
• receiving a control command from the remote server by the communication unit to actuate an activatable unit in the washing compartment;
• and
• actuating the activatable unit by a control device.

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;
• receiving a control command from the remote server by the communication unit to actuate an activatable unit in the washing compartment;
• and
• actuating the activatable unit by a control device.
