Embodiment 1

[0022] This preferred embodiment discloses a washing machine control method. Such as figure 1 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0023] Step 1. The server communicates with the control device of at least one washing machine. After receiving the initial query instruction from the mobile terminal, the server provides the mobile terminal with codes and location information of all washing machines within the set range for the mobile terminal to select. Specifically, the server obtains the location of the mobile terminal through location-based service information, forms a circle with the location of the mobile terminal as the center and a set distance as the radius, and the circle area is the set range. The set distance as the radius may be inherent in the server, or may be set by the user as required.

[0024] Location-based service (Location Based Service, LBS) is to obtain the location information (geographic coordinates or geodetic coordinates) of m...

Embodiment 2

[0038] The preferred embodiment discloses a washing machine control method. The server communicates with the control device of at least one washing machine, and the mobile terminal can obtain at least the information of the washing machine through the server. The information of the washing machine includes the current working status information of the washing machine, and the working status information includes working or idle;

[0039]The server can remotely receive the reservation information for at least one washing machine sent by the mobile terminal, and send the reservation information to the control device of the corresponding washing machine; the control device waits for an external confirmation command according to the reservation information; after the control device receives the correct confirmation command, Or after the server receives a correct confirmation command and sends an instruction to the control device, the washing machine starts to work.

Abstract

The invention discloses a washing machine control method and belongs to the field of washing device control methods. The washing machine control method is designed to overcome the defect that remote reservation cannot be achieved by means of an existing method. The washing machine control method includes the steps that a server is in communication connection with control devices of one or more washing machines, a mobile terminal can obtain information of the washing machines at minimum through the server, the information of the washing machine comprises the current work state information of the washing machines, and the work state information comprises information of work state or information of idle state; the server can remotely receive reservation information sent by the mobile terminal targeted to one or more washing machines and send the reservation information to the control devices of the corresponding washing machines; the control devices wait for external confirmation commands according to the reservation information; after the control devices receive the correct confirmation commands or the server receives the correct confirmation commands and sends instructions to the control devices, the washing machine begins to work. By means of the washing machine control method, a great amount of time can be saved for the user, and disturbance of scheduling of the user is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a washing machine control method. Background technique [0002] Washing machine is a commonly used household appliance, which can save a lot of energy and time for users.
