Laundry ball

A method and system remotely controlling a cleaning cycle of a household appliance using transmission of wireless signals is provided. Signals are transmitted between a mobile dispensing device arranged in the household appliance and an electronic device. The method determines the strength of a signal received by the mobile dispensing device. The determined strength is compared to a threshold value. If the determined strength is above the threshold value transmission of wireless signals from the mobile dispensing device to the electronic device is enabled. If the determined strength is below the threshold value transmission of signals from the mobile dispensing device to the electronic device is disabled. When transmission of signals is enabled, a status wireless signal comprising status information about the cleaning cycle is sent to the electronic device.

Method for remotely controlling a cleaning cycle of a household appliance

A device for use in a household appliance is disclosed. The device includes at least one casing configured to be placed in a treatment chamber of a household appliance. The casing includes at least one output module configured to dispense at least one preparation into the treatment chamber of the household appliance and/or to trigger an output and at least one sensor module configured to determine sensor data characteristic of the condition of the treatment chamber of the household appliance () and/or of the device. The sensor module includes at least one acceleration sensor, wherein the sensor data at least partially represents data determined by the at least one acceleration sensor. The dispensing and/or triggering of the output of the preparation by the at least one output module is based at least partially on the sensor data.

Apparatus with a discharge module and sensor module

Among other things, a procedure is revealed which comprises the following: Detecting one or more pieces of air humidity information indicative of a relative humidity within a treatment room of an air-conducting domestic appliance, wherein the one or more pieces of air humidity information are detected by means of at least one air humidity sensor; and determining drying information indicative of a time of an end of a drying process performed by the air-conducting domestic appliance, wherein the drying information is determined based on the one or more pieces of air humidity information. Also disclosed are a device for executing and/or controlling this process, a system with one or more devices for executing and/or controlling this process and a computer program for executing and/or controlling this process by a processor.

Method and device for an air-guiding domestic appliance

The present invention relates to a cleaning robot having a cleaning cloth and a cleaning agent and also to the use of a concentrated cleaning agent in such a cleaning robot.

Cleaning robot comprising a cleaning cloth and a cleaning agent

A method and device for dispensing a fragrance composition in a household appliance during a cleaning cycle. The device is disposed inside the appliance and includes a first compartment with a detergent, and a second compartment with a fragrance composition. A change in a position of the device in the appliance triggers dispensing of a portion of the fragrance into the appliance. The device can contain computer instructions for carrying out the methods.

Method and device for dispensing a fragrance composition during a cleaning cycle of a household appliance

Among other things, a method is disclosed which includes the following: acquiring at least one set of acceleration data indicative of a progression of measured acceleration values; determining status data indicative of a process step within a cleaning program performed by a dishwasher; outputting or causing the output of the determined status data. Further revealed is a device for executing and/or controlling this method, a system with one or more devices for executing and/or controlling this method and a computer program for executing and/or controlling this method by employing a processor.

Monitoring of a washing program of a dishwasher machine

A method is disclosed comprising inter alia a method comprising: acquiring at least one set of sensor data, wherein the at least one set of sensor data is acquired from at least one sensor; determining evaluation data indicative of a condition of a treatment chamber of a household appliance, wherein the evaluation data is determined based at least in part on the acquired set of sensor data; and outputting or causing the output of the determined evaluation data. Furthermore, a device for executing and/or controlling this method, a system with several devices for controlling and/or executing this method and a computer program for executing and/or controlling this method are disclosed.

Determining a state of a domestic appliance

A method performed by one or more devices includes determining an information item indicative of at least one parameter affecting the treatment of a textile with the information item being detected by an information carrier of the textile () and/or a cleaning device (), or a cleaning agent () and the textile (), or the cleaning agent () and the cleaning device, or the cleaning agent () and the textile () and the cleaning device and the information carrier comprises a package, a label, an NFC chip or a combination thereof, determining at least one treatment parameter of the textile based at least in part on the determined information item, and outputting or triggering the outputting of the at least one determined treatment parameter.
