Abstract

Claims (61)

1. An intelligent toilet remote controller, comprising:

a remote controller body; and

a processor accommodated in the remote controller body and configured to be communicatively connected with an intelligent toilet,

wherein the remote controller body comprises a cleaning timing display,

wherein the cleaning timing display is communicatively connected with the processor,

wherein the remote controller body further comprises:

a housing; and

a button film attached on an outer surface of the housing, and

wherein the cleaning timing display is disposed between the button film and the outer surface of the housing.

2. The intelligent toilet remote controller according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the button film where the button film contacts the cleaning timing display is a semitransparent film.

3. The intelligent toilet remote controller according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning timing display is a digital tube or a display screen.

4. The intelligent toilet remote controller according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cleaning timing display is communicatively connected with the processor through a communication line,

wherein a first end of the communication line is communicatively connected with the cleaning timing display, and

wherein a second end of the communication line is inserted into the housing so as to be communicatively connected with the processor.

5. The intelligent toilet remote controller according to claim 4 , wherein the communication line is a flexible flat cable.

6. The intelligent toilet remote controller according to claim 1 , further comprising an electric control board accommodated in the housing, wherein the processor is fixed on the electric control board.

7. The intelligent toilet remote controller according to claim 6 ,

wherein the electric control board comprises a timer and a radio frequency module, and

wherein the processor is communicatively connected with the timer, the radio frequency module, and the cleaning timing display respectively.

8. The intelligent toilet remote controller according to claim 7 ,

wherein the housing comprises one or more buttons,

wherein the one or more buttons contact corresponding switches on the electric control board, and

wherein the switches are communicatively connected with input ends of the processor.

9. An intelligent toilet control system, comprising:

an intelligent toilet; and

an intelligent toilet remote controller, comprising:

a remote controller body; and

a processor accommodated in the remote controller body and configured to be communicatively connected with the intelligent toilet,

wherein the remote controller body comprises a cleaning timing display,

wherein the cleaning timing display is communicatively connected with the processor,

wherein a host of the intelligent toilet is configured to be communicatively connected with the processor of the intelligent toilet remote controller,

wherein the remote controller body comprises:

a housing; and

a button film attached on an outer surface of the housing, and

wherein the cleaning timing display is disposed between the button film and the outer surface of the housing.

10. The intelligent toilet control system according to claim 9 , wherein a portion of the button film where the button film contacts the cleaning timing display is a semitransparent film.

11. The intelligent toilet control system according to claim 9 , wherein the cleaning timing display is a digital tube or a display screen.

12. The intelligent toilet control system according to claim 9 ,

wherein the cleaning timing display is communicatively connected with the processor through a communication line,

wherein a first end of the communication line is communicatively connected with the cleaning timing display, and

wherein a second end of the communication line is inserted into the housing so as to be communicatively connected with the processor.

13. The intelligent toilet control system according to claim 12 , wherein the communication line is a flexible flat cable.

14. The intelligent toilet control system according to claim 9 , further comprising an electric control board accommodated in the housing,

wherein the processor is fixed on the electric control board.

15. The intelligent toilet control system according to claim 14 ,

wherein the electric control board comprises a timer and a radio frequency module, and

wherein the processor is communicatively connected with the timer, the radio frequency module, and the cleaning timing display respectively.

16. The intelligent toilet control system according to claim 15 ,

wherein the housing comprises one or more buttons,

wherein the one or more buttons contact corresponding switches on the electric control board, and

wherein the switches are communicatively connected with input ends of the processor.

17. The intelligent toilet control system according to claim 15 , wherein the processor of the intelligent toilet remote controller is configured to be communicatively connected with the host of the intelligent toilet via the radio frequency module.

18. A method for counting cleaning time of an intelligent toilet by using an intelligent toilet remote controller, the method comprising:

transmitting, by a processor of the intelligent toilet remote controller, a cleaning command to the intelligent toilet, wherein the cleaning command is configured to control the intelligent toilet to start a cleaning;

receiving, by the processor of the intelligent toilet remote controller, a response from the intelligent toilet, wherein the response indicates that the intelligent toilet has started the cleaning;

starting, by the processor of the intelligent toilet remote controller, counting cleaning time in response to the received response from the intelligent toilet;

displaying, by a cleaning timing display of the intelligent toilet remote controller, the counted cleaning time while counting the cleaning time;

determining whether at least one predetermined condition is satisfied;

stopping, by the processor of the intelligent toilet remote controller, counting the cleaning time; and

stopping, by the processor of the intelligent toilet remote controller, displaying the counted cleaning time in response to a determination that the at least one predetermined condition is satisfied.
