摘要: An item-management system is provided having a household appliance, a camera assembly, and a controller. The household appliance may include a cabinet. The camera assembly may be directed at the cabinet to capture an image of the cabinet. The controller may be in operative communication with the camera assembly. The controller may have access to an item list of one or more stored items. The controller may be configured to direct an item-management operation. The item-management operation may include receiving the image from the camera assembly, identifying, automatically, based on the received image, a stored item from the item list, determining, based on identifying the stored item, an unsuitable status of the identified stored item to indicate the identified stored item is inappropriate for the household appliance, and directing, based on determining the unsuitable status, a responsive action at the household appliance.

摘要: An appliance performance report method for determining and communicating conditions of appliances. The method includes receiving appliance performance test parameters from a supervisory user of an appliance. The appliance performance test parameters include a test time frame for performing a self-diagnostic test. The method further includes directing the appliance to perform the self-diagnostic test during the test time frame, receiving diagnostic test data from the appliance following performance of the self-diagnostic test, generating a performance report using the diagnostic test data received from the appliance, and communicating the performance report to the supervisory user. An appliance performance report system including a controller is also described.

摘要: A washing machine appliance and methods for the same may include authorizing a user of the washing machine appliance and loading testing software into a partitioned memory of a controller. The testing software may include a testing sequence. The method may further include receiving a single testing prompt from a remote device following loading testing software and executing the testing sequence of the testing software from the partitioned memory in response to receiving the single testing prompt, whereby a mechanical component of the washing machine appliance is operated. The method may still further include exiting a remote testing mode after executing the testing software and deleting the testing software from the partitioned memory when exiting the remote testing mode.

摘要: A method of operating a household appliance, where the household appliance includes a camera assembly operable to obtain an image, is provided. The method includes downloading a protected user detection software from a remote computing device to the household appliance. The method also includes unlocking a user interface of the household appliance. The method further includes detecting, with the camera assembly, a user at the household appliance after unlocking the user interface and using the protected user detection software to determine that the detected user is a protected user. In response to detecting the protected user, the user interface is locked.

摘要: A system and method for data transmission and performance improvement for an appliance is provided. The system includes an appliance including a controller operably connected to a network computing device. The controller is configured to transmit a packet to a network computing device. The packet includes genealogical data for the appliance encoded in a positional numeral system. The network computing device is configured to receive the packet and decode the genealogical data for the appliance. Decoding includes translating the positional numeral system to an appliance configuration.
