System having a water-bearing domestic appliance and method for operating a water-bearing domestic appliance

A system, comprising a water-bearing household appliance, said water bearing household appliance comprising

• a controller apparatus configured to carry out a treatment program selected from a plurality of treatment programs, with each of the treatment programs being defined by a number of program parameters;
• a memory device configured to store the plurality of treatment programs in the form of a N-dimensional matrix having matrix elements, with the plurality of treatment programs being associated with the matrix elements of the matrix in one-to-one correspondence, each said matrix element being determinable by a respective one of a plurality of defined N-dimensional input vectors;
• an input configured to capture a user input to change at least one of the program parameters;
• a selection unit configured to select one of the defined N-dimensional input vectors as a function of the captured user input;
• and
• a determining unit configured to determine one of the matrix elements from the matrix as a function of the selected input vector,
• wherein the controller apparatus is configured to carry out the treatment program associated with the determined matrix element.

A method for operating a water-bearing household appliance, in particular dishwasher, said method comprising:

• storing in a memory device in the form of an N-dimensional matrix a plurality of treatment programs, each defined by a number of program parameters, with the plurality of treatment programs being associated with matrix elements of the matrix in one-to-one correspondence, each said matrix element being determinable by a respective one of a plurality of defined N-dimensional input vectors;
• capturing a user input to change at least one of the program parameters;
• selecting one of the defined N-dimensional input vectors as a function of the captured user input;
• determining a matrix element from the matrix by means of the selected input vector;
• and
• carrying out by a controller apparatus the treatment program associated with the determined matrix element.
