Last post

This is my last post and I am going to summarize and round up what i have developed for the Ultimate Hamper thus far. The Ultimate Hamper is a product that using RFID chips attached to the clothes reads what pile each dirty article belongs in and sorts it accordingly. These RFID chips then "check in" tot he hamper similarly to how a person checks in their location on the app FourSquare. the Ultimate Hamer comes with a program that can be uploaded onto the computer to show what clothes are in which pile. Each pil has its own small hamper and each small hamper has a scale that measures when the hamper is full. Once the one hamper is full the Ultimate Hamper then starts another pile for that related category of dirty clothing. For example, if you have a pile of whites that is nearly full, and while putting dirty clothes into the Ultimate Hamper the pile hits its weight quota, a new pile would then start. this is still a product in the beta-brainstorming thought process and will hopefully be on shelves soon.

I also commented on the following blogs.

Software


Know what is in your hamper! The Ultimate Hamper makers have brought a program that tells what clothes are in the dirty pile! The RFID chips sending a command to the computer do this. The RFID chip “checks in” to the hamper kind of like how a person does with a phone using Foursquare.  This would upload into a basic search program where you can search the database on your computer for specific articles of clothing. The program has the option to be categorized by either article of clothing, which pile its in, and how long its been in there.
The Ultimate Hamper is a break-through in technology that eases the laundry and the housekeeping process as a whole.  We take pride in the product we are serving our customers with and with these updates and will continue to bring them as we progress.

Memory Space!

The Ultimate Hamper will have a 8 gb 16 gb and 32 gb option that will keep a registered collection of your clothes in it's system. This memory will show up on a program on your computer that will show which clothes are dirty and which are clean. It's an easy way to narrow down what to wear! The way it knows which clothes go through is by the RFID chip that is on each article of clothing. 

This helps the customer know what is dirty, what isn't, and if anything is lost. If it's not in the system as dirty than either the item is clean or missing! It's an easy way to know if you need to run a load to have those awesome jeans clean for later that night or if you are running out of shirts in your dresser! Either way the Ultimate Hamper has just increased it's necessity with this addition! Go buy yours today!

Input/Output for the Ultimate Hamper


The way that The Ultimate Hamper works is that rather than having an optical viewing camera to determine what pile the clothing goes in, each article gets an RFID chip that tells The Ultimate Hamper what pile it goes in. The Ultimate Hamper has a claw that is attached to a motherboard that controls the claw and reads the RFID chip. Each Ultimate Hamper comes with a free 100 RFID chips and additional RFID chips can be bought pre programmed with which pile it belongs it. For example, we sell packages of 100 colored clothing chips. All you do is stick these RFID chips on your colored clothes and The Ultimate Hamper will read the chip and know that the clothing belongs in the colored pile.
            The RFID chips in the Ultimate Hamper simplify the sorting process. It allows there to be a tinier motherboard and a less bulky item. The claws drop each item into a different bag, so size is still an issue. The size used by the Ultimate Hamper though is adjustable based on how many bags are set up and programmed into the motherboard. Less bags equals less space taken up. More bags equals more space but more sorting of the laundry.
