A toilet seat and lid assembly comprising a toilet seat lid (also known as a cover) equipped with both fixed and movable grab area equipped with a lever or with a slide switch. The movable area of the grab or the slide switch integrates with the seat below through a latch. Lifting the lid by using the lever or sliding the switch, disconnects the lid from the seat and lifts only lid. Lifting the lid using the fixed grab area of the lid or without sliding the switch, does not disengage the seat and thus results in the lifting of the integrated seat and lid at the same time. Methods of using the same are also provided.

An image recognition automatic flip-top smart toilet mainly includes an image recognition chip provided on one side of the toilet facing the front structure of the user, and a controller and two power packs arranged inside the toilet. The image recognition chip is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is connected to two power packs to control their individual actions. The first power pack is used to control the automatic lifting and closing of the toilet lid, and the second power pack is used to control the automatic lifting and closing of the toilet seat ring. When the image recognition chip detects that the user in front of the toilet is a non-frontal image, it will send a signal to the controller to enable the controller to activate the first power pack to lift the toilet lid, allowing the user to sit on the seat ring for use. When the image recognition chip detects that the user in front of the toilet is a frontal image, it will send another signal to the controller, so that the controller can activate the two power groups at the same time to lift the toilet lid and seat ring, allowing men to stand up without the need to touch with hands. It is then to achieve the convenience of safety and hygiene, to meet the requirements of intelligent living.

A sanitary device includes a radio wave sensor, a control section. The radio wave sensor is configured to obtain information on a sensing target by a reflection wave of an emitted radio wave. The control section is configured to control operation of an instrument based on a sensing signal including a first signal and a second signal outputted from the radio wave sensor. Difference between a phase of the second signal and a phase of the first signal is not less than 60° and not more than 120°. The control section is configured to determine presence or absence of the sensing target based on sum of square of difference between a value of the first signal and a first reference value and square of difference between a value of the second signal and a second reference value.

The present embodiments relate to a hinge for use in a mobile toilet having a toilet bowl, a toilet seat, and a toilet lid, wherein the toilet seat and the toilet lid each are swivel-mounted to the toilet bowl by the hinge and have a common pivot axis. Furthermore, the present embodiments relate to a damping device for retrofitting a hinge. The present embodiments also relate to a mobile toilet. In particular, the present embodiments relate to the problem to allow an easy retrofitting of a hinge and mobile toilets, respectively. This problem is in particular solved with the initially described hinge that in accordance with the present embodiments has at least one receiving area that is formed to receive at least one damping device for damping the swivel motion of the toilet seat or the toilet lid about the pivot axis.

A control system of an intelligent toilet includes a toilet seat actuation device for operating a toilet seat, a seat cover actuation device for operating a seat cover, and a control circuit which includes a user detector for detection of presence of a user and a micro-controller to actuate the toilet seat actuation device and the seat cover actuation device between a male operation mode and a female operation mode. In the male operation mode, the toilet seat actuation device and the seat cover actuation device are actuated for lifting up the toilet seat and the seat cover. In the female operation mode, the seat cover actuation device is actuated for lifting up the seat cover. The control system is convenient in use and prevents any contamination of the user' hands by touching the intelligent toilet.

Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing seat lifting. In various embodiments, a seat lifter might include one or more first pistons, one or more second pistons, and a seat portion. The one or more first pistons, when actuated (e.g., in response to user input), might cause a rear portion of the seat portion to lift relative to a front portion of the seat portion, the rear portion of the seat portion being lifted by a first height above a seat to which the seat lifter is affixed. The one or more second pistons, when actuated, might cause the front portion of the seat portion to lift by a second height above the seat, the second height being less than the first height. In some instances, the first pistons and the second pistons might be actuated serially (in either order), or might be actuated concurrently.
