Abstrakt: Most of designs for water machine just consider normal people's demands, but the demands of the disabled, for example, the demands and inconvenience of the blind people while using the water machine. This research considered inconvenience of the blind when they use the water machine. We redesigned multiple intelligent functions in a traditional off-the-shelf water machine, including LED display for the temperature of water output, different fixed volume of water output, multi-language voice output for the temperature level and the volume of water output, voice warning for the minimum limit and the maximum limit of the water line in the tank, buttons with braille hints, redundant water collector with concentric circles fillisters designed for the blind to find the outlet position conveniently etc. This intelligent water machine we developed is not only convenient to use for the blind, but also for normal user. It is safer, convenient and so sweet when people use the intelligent drinking water machine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
