  • Patent number: 10107666
    Abstract: A method for detecting water level in a water tank that includes a probe voltage value acquiring step comprising periodically acquiring a voltage value of a water level probe as a probe voltage value; a voltage value comparing step that compares the probe voltage value with a stored voltage threshold value, if the probe voltage value is lower than the voltage threshold value, the method determines that the water tank level is higher than the water level probe and updates the water data to be the probe voltage value, and if the probe voltage value is higher than the voltage threshold value, the method determines that the water tank level is lower than the water level probe and updates the waterless data to be the probe voltage value; and a threshold value updating step that updates the voltage threshold value in response to the water data and the waterless data.

  • Patent number: 9492042
    Abstract: A method for automatically configuring an electronic toilet device includes detecting usage of the electronic toilet device throughout a first time period. The first time period is divided into a plurality of discrete time units. The method further includes recording a usage state for each of the plurality of time units in the first time period based on the detecting and using the recorded usage states to configure an operating schedule for the electronic toilet device for a next time period. The method further includes operating the electronic toilet device throughout the next time period according to the operating schedule while detecting and recording a usage state for each of the plurality of time units in the next time period and periodically configuring an operating schedule for each subsequent time period using the recorded usage states associated with a preceding time period.
