Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009043693A1] The method of, and the device for, evaluating information regarding a treatment agent, which is kept for portion-wise metering purposes in a transporting or supply container 22, 23, 24 which can be inserted into a washing machine, this information being contained in a machine-readable manner in an information carrier 26, 27, 28 which is connected to the transporting or supply container, utilizes an integrated reader 18 which extracts the information of the information carrier, in the event of the latter being in close proximity to the reader, from the information carrier and passes it on to a control device 12, which introduces individually measured portions of the treatment agent into the treatment process in a suitable manner and at suitable points in time of a laundry-treatment program. In order that the information transmitted on the part of the treatment agent is supplemented by such information as is obtained upon using this treatment agent, and arises on account of experience with this treatment agent, experience obtained upon using the treatment agent during the treatment process is stored in the form of experience information and kept for subsequent applications of this treatment agent.
