Abstract: A method for controlling a home appliance depending on a load includes taking a load image with an appliance camera, sending the image from the appliance to the server, processing the image on the server, and generating a processing result. Control data is determined on the server for controlling the appliance based on the result and is then sent to the appliance and/or the processing result is sent to the appliance enabling the appliance to determine data for controlling the appliance based on the processing result. The control data and/or the processing result is received from the server on the appliance and based thereon appliance working programs are controlled. Image processing generating the result includes upscaling the image using a trained generative adversarial network and analyzing the load using a trained neural network. A server, home appliance and system including both are also provided.

Abstract: A system includes a dishwasher having a receptacle for items to be washed, an image capturing facility configured to capture an image of the receptacle of the dishwasher for items to be washed, and an image processing facility configured to determine in dependence upon the captured image a map of an arrangement of the items to be washed. The map includes a division of the receptacle into a number of regions, with each region having a predetermined arrangement of items to be washed from a number of predetermined arrangements of items to be washed. An allocation unit determines a cleaning matrix including an allocation of a treatment specification to each of the regions in the map, and outputs the cleaning matrix. A control apparatus executes a wash program based on the cleaning matrix.

Abstract: A system includes a dishwasher including a receptacle for an item to be washed, and a control device for carrying out a washing program, which can be parameterized by a number of different washing program parameters. An image-capturing device captures an image of the receptacle and an image analysis unit classifies the item to be washed in the receptacle in dependence on the captured image of the receptacle and to output a classification result to the control device. The control device is designed to parameterize the washing program depending on the classification result.

Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity, a coupling element designed to be shifted into and at least partially out of the dishwasher cavity, a receptacle for items to be washed, with the receptacle designed to be shifted with respect to the coupling element in and against an extension direction between a retracted and extended state of the receptacle, and a drive designed to drive the coupling element in order to shift the coupling element into and out of the dishwasher cavity.
