Washing machine and communication device and communication method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a communication device of a washing machine. The communication device comprises a wireless communication module, a voice communication module and a control unit, wherein the wireless communication module is used for performing wireless communication; the voice communication module is used for performing voice communication; a communication port is arranged on the control unit; the control unit is respectively connected with the wireless communication module and the voice communication module through the communication port; and the control unit is used for receiving communication data, judging whether the communication data are complete, judging an origin of the communication data according to frame types in a protocol when the communication data are complete, performing voice identification processing on the communication data when the communication data are from the voice communication module, and performing protocol processing on the communication data when the communication data are from the wireless communication module. According to the communication device of the washing machine disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, through one communication port, the wireless networking and the voice communication can be simultaneously implemented; moreover, the hardware development cost is low, and the development test time is short. The invention further discloses the washing machine and a communication method thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, in particular to a washing machine, a communication device and a communication method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of smart home appliances, it has become a trend to apply speech recognition technology to smart home appliances for human-computer interaction. However, in the related art, there are problems in connecting the voice communication module to smart home appliances: 1) the voice communication module interacts with the control unit through the serial port. Distribution, circuit board diagram, and software all need to be modified to varying degrees, and the development and testing cycle is long; 2) The hardware resources of the original home appliance system are saturated, and the control unit may not have redundant serial ports; 3) There are many models of home appliances of various brands , and the software and hardware versions use...
