Problems solved by technology

[0005] The improvement of the existing washing machine is also obvious. Firstly, the operation mode of washing dishes, the existing washing machine is mostly controlled by buttons. Whether the washing machine is executing the program selected by the user, that is, if the user chooses other control methods by mistake, the user cannot know. In addition, even if the washing machine is equipped with a small display screen, the display screen generally only shows the washing machine. Machine running time information, etc.
[0006] In the prior art, only relevant programs are directly selected by buttons, and when there are many cleaning programs in the washing machine, the user needs to select the desired cleaning program from among the many cleaning programs, and the buttons are used to select the desired cleaning program in turn among the many cleaning programs. It is very inconvenient to switch to select the required cleaning program, and the user experience is not good
[0007] More and more home appliances are equipped with touch screens, which directly improves the user experience of home appliances. However, different touch screens have different display interfaces and operation methods for different user experiences. The existing operation interfaces are cumbersome, and the displayed functional modules are not convenient and intelligent enough. It is inconvenient to select the program, especially the parameter configuration in the program. If the user enters the parameter value through a conventional pop-up keyboard, the pop-up keyboard will occupy a large amount of display area, the user experience is not good, and the touch screen will display a multi-level interface. It is more complicated to control the operation of entering other interfaces or returning to the main interface only by sliding and clicking on the touch screen
[0008] To sum up, it is inconvenient to operate the washing machine simply by pressing buttons or to select the display interface of the display screen by simply sliding and clicking on the touch screen, especially when there are many selection menus or multi-level pages, it will make the operation of the washing machine more difficult. Complicated and poor user experience
