Problems solved by technology

However, it must be emphasized that even in this case, the user cannot know exactly in advance what effect his / her settings or choices will actually have, i.e. what will ultimately be gained from the specific choices he / she makes. What results, so he / she cannot actually intervene to modify or set accordingly when these become inappropriate taking into account his / her preferences, priorities or needs at that specific moment

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Although reference is made to the general case, the following discussion also serves theoretically to support the principles upon which the invention is based.

[0023] The washing machine according to the invention comprises a plurality of variables which can be manipulated (ie controlled) in various ways to assume different and independently selectable states. The variables to be considered here are pieces of information entered by the user relating to the characteristics and properties of the laundry loaded into the washing machine and some of the operating modes and parameters of the washing machine.

[0024] These variables mainly include (but not exclusively):

[0025] 1) Fabric type

[0026] 2) The type of washing process to be performed

[0027] 3) spin dehydration intensity (speed)

[0028] 4) Washing temperature

[0029] 5) Water consumption

[0030] 6) (other variables)

[0031] ...................................

[0032] n) (any other variable)

Abstract

The present invention provides a clothes washing or drying machine comprising: means for setting and controlling the operating cycle of the machine, response and user information means, means for processing the commands received from said control and setting means. The control and setting means comprise: selection devices associated to specific control variables that can be selected independently from a plurality of different states, and said response means comprise a plurality of user-information display devices, each one of which is adapted to take a respective multiplicity of states, to each one of which there corresponds a particular combination of the states taken by said control variables. Each combination of said plurality of distinct states of said control variables is associated to a pre-determined set of instructions and programmes residing in said data storage means and adapted to act on respective operating devices of the machine.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improved type of laundry washing or drying machine, preferably of the type used in the home, adapted to perform a washing or drying cycle in a special way designed to respect and obey the preferences of the user as much as possible. Background technique [0002] Although reference is made in the following description to a domestic type of washing machine (since the specific advantages of the present invention are most apparent and evident in this type of machine), those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that only a slight modification of the control means Adaptively, the general teaching of the invention can also be applied to laundry dryers in a very simple manner. [0003] A washing machine is known in the prior art as a washing device capable of executing a working cycle (ie, a washing program) according to an operation command input by a user each time. [0004] Such operating instructions are basic and...
