Description:BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a toilet system and particularly to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven toilet system.
Description of Related Art
[002] Water conservation is a critical issue worldwide, particularly in urban areas where increasing population density and climate change place pressure on available water resources. Traditional sanitation systems, including Western-style flush toilets, contribute significantly to domestic water consumption. In many regions, toilet flushing accounts for a substantial percentage of total household water use that leads to concerns over sustainability and efficiency.
[003] Various technological advancements have been introduced to reduce water usage in toilet systems. These include dual-flush mechanisms, low-flow toilets, and pressure-assisted flushing systems. Dual-flush toilets allow users to select a lower or higher water volume based on waste type, while low-flow toilets operate with a fixed reduced flush volume. Pressure-assisted systems utilize air pressure to enhance flushing efficiency while using less water.
[004] Despite these improvements, challenges remain in optimizing water usage in toilet systems. Many conventional water-saving solutions rely on pre-set flush volumes that do not dynamically adjust based on user behaviour or real-time needs. Additionally, existing smart toilets, while offering features such as touchless flushing and self-cleaning, often lack intelligent water optimization tailored to individual usage patterns. The inability to adapt to varying conditions, such as waste volume, user preferences, or environmental factors, can result in either excessive water use or inadequate flushing performance.
[005] Moreover, hygiene concerns in toilet systems have led to the development of self-cleaning technologies, antimicrobial coatings, and automated lid controls. While these features improve user experience and sanitation, they are often independent of water conservation efforts and do not contribute to real-time water management. Furthermore, smart home integration has enabled remote control of toilet functions, but current implementations primarily focus on convenience rather than sustainable water usage.
[006] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven toilet system that can administer the aforementioned limitations in a more efficient manner.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, the microcontroller 118 may be connected to the configured to input unit 108, the detection unit 110, the mobility unit 112, the flushing unit 114, and to the disinfectant unit 116.
[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the microcontroller 118 may be configured to receive the vocal commands of the user from the input unit 108. The microcontroller 118 may further be configured to command the Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine 120 to interpolate the vocal commands of the user. Upon interpolation of the vocal commands of the user, the microcontroller 118 may be configured to execute the corresponding command. In an exemplary scenario, if the vocal commands of the user may be ‘open lid’, then the Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine 120 may interpolate that the user wants to open the lid 106 of the toilet seat 102. The interpolated command may further be executed by the microcontroller 118 by commanding the mobility unit 112 to open the lid 106. Similarly, if the vocal commands of the user may be ‘flush’, then the Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine 120 may interpolate that the user wants to flush the commode 104. The interpolated command may further be executed by the microcontroller 118 by commanding the flushing unit 114 to dispense the water in the commode 104.
[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, the microcontroller 118 may be configured to receive the sensed approach of the user. Upon receipt of the sensed approach of the user, the microcontroller 118 may command the mobility unit 112 to open the lid 106. However, if no approach of the user may be sensed, then the microcontroller 118 may transmit the low power-sleep and the power savings signal to the components of the system 100.
[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, the microcontroller 118 may be configured to receive the presence and the type of the user on the toilet seat 102. The microcontroller 118 may further be configured to receive the sensed type and amount of the waste defecated by the user in the commode 104. The microcontroller 118 may further be configured to command the Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine 120 to analyze the received type and amount of the waste.
[0049] Further, upon assessment of the type and amount of the waste, the microcontroller 118 may be configured to calculate a set of matrices of flushing required. The set of matrices may include parameters such as, but not limited to, an amount of water required, a pressure of water released, a duration of water released, user behavior, environmental factors, and so forth. Embodiments of the present invention are intended to include or otherwise cover any parameters for calculation of the set of matrices, including known, related art, and/or later developed technologies. The calculated set of matrices, along with integration of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine 120 may enable the microcontroller 118 to learn and adapt personalized flush volumes for individual users over time to maximize water efficiency. The personalized flush volumes for individual users may enable the flushing unit 114 to dispense the water in a very certain amount that may be sufficient for cleaning and flushing of the waste defecated by the user.
[0050] The microcontroller 118 may further be configured to actuate the flushing unit 114 to dispense the water in the commode 104 based on the set of the calculated matrices. As the water may be dispensed based on the set of the calculated matrices, an optimal amount of the water may be utilized for cleaning and flushing of the waste defecated by the user. Hence, empowering water management and water conservation by the system 100.
[0051] The microcontroller 118 may further be configured to maintain an automated coordination of operations of the mobility unit 112, flushing unit 114, and disinfectant unit 116 to ensure an optimized and efficient user experience. The proper coordination such as automated lid opening, waste detection, controlled flushing, feedback-based re-flushing, and systematic disinfection to ensure a hygienic, resource-efficient, and user-friendly system. Disrupting this order may lead to improper waste disposal, inefficient water use, or incomplete disinfection, thereby compromising hygiene and sanitation. The automated coordination of mobility unit 112, flushing unit 114, and disinfectant unit 116 may maximize the system's effectiveness while minimizing water and disinfectant wastage.
[0052] The microcontroller 118 may be, but not limited to, a Programmable Logic Control (PLC) unit, a microprocessor, a development board, and so forth. Embodiments of the present invention are intended to include or otherwise cover any type of the microcontroller 118, including known, related art, and/or later developed technologies.
[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, the communication unit 122 may be adapted to establish a communicative link among the microcontroller 118, the Internet of Things (IoT) based smart home server 124, and the computing device 126. The establishment of the communicative link may enable a transmission of insights to the Internet of Things (IoT) based smart home server 124. The insight may be, but not limited to, a cleaning schedule, a water consumption pattern, and so forth.
