The smart toilet is an attempt to conceptualize the smart home. Unlike similar products on the market which are difficult to operate, this product brings a unique interaction mode for users, simplifies the process with simple UI designs, supports personalized settings, and bears excellent functionality. It aims to provide users with a convenient, comprehensive, and comfortable toilet experience.

By optimizing UI interaction, it eliminates the complex button operation mode of conventional smart toilets and is equipped with a new double intelligent knob design, which facilitates users to make personalized settings for the flushing mode, water temperature, seat temperature, and air heating of the cleaning spray bar. The personalized plan will be archived and can be applied again by activating the user function memory button, bringing convenience with a simplified process. The product is capable of backing up three plans at the same time and switching them with a single button, which can meet the various needs of a modern family of three. The product also highly imtergrates the functionality, comfort and safety. In addition to the increasingly popular thermostatic seat and air heating function, the product’s cleaning spray bar has been upgraded with a variety of cleaning modes to provide cleaning with no dead angle. The live water electrolysis system connected with the cleaning spray bar and the supercharged drainage system are independent of each other, which can thoroughly disinfect the cleaning water and protect users’ health. At the same time, the product will start UV sterilization after the lid is closed. The internal cavity and spray bar will be further sterilized to avoid cross-contamination caused by bacterial residues. In addition, the product also has a built-in independent water tank and battery, which can be put in good operation even in higher floors with insufficient water pressure and power outages.

The product began to pre-sale in late July 22. Benefiting from the new comprehensive human interaction mode and targeted optimization for common sore points, the product has been widely loved by users since its launch. By the September of the same year, the product has also been returned with higher online sales than similar products and vigoriously supported by offline distributors in many regions.

The highly developped modern technology makes intelligent toilets a relatively mature industry, but the advanced technology and intelligent empowerment still have much to be desired. Diversified and detailed functional expansion improves people’s lives but also brings great understanding threshold and inconvenience with the extension and complexity of the operation process. Therefore, the emergence of this intelligent toilet is an attempt to ensure both the rich functionality, a comfortable and comprehensive user experience and the overall coordination and control of diverse functions with advanced intelligent hub. It simplifies the actual use process by uploading a long-term applicable operation mode. By doing this, it reduces the threshold of use, breaks the stereotype of the user’s complex operation of intelligent toilets, and provides new ideas for the research and development of similar products.

There are five full-time members involved in this project. Yang Jinjin and Xu Haiyun are the chief product designers, who are responsible for the structural design and additional functions of the product. Ding Shaohai, as the market planner, focuses on the market analysis and evaluation of the current toilet, and gives feedback information in time so that Cai Jiahang, the product inspecter, can make post-commissioning. Chen Shihual. Chen Shihua is in charge of the product’s accessories evaluation and procurement.

The product’s current strategic fruits own to the design team’s thorough market research at the start. Through strict screening and categorization of the feedback, the design team was able to understand the actual inconvenience brought by traditional toilets, so as to make precise optimization to ensure that the product can effectively meet the various needs of modern users.

The project started in 2021, and it took one year from modeling and design to final implementation.

The original intention of the product design is to bring users a more comfortable and humane experience through the well-rounded optimization of appearance, function and interaction. Therefore, in the whole process, by following the concept of “people-oriented”and “quality first”, the team summaried the flaws of conventional toilets in real life and improved them with strict quality standards. Due to this, the product has already been well-accepted by customers during its two-month-short launch period.
