Method and device for controlling household appliances and household appliances

[0028] Example 1

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an embodiment of a method for controlling a household electrical appliance. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and, Although a logical sequence is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than here.

[0030] figure 1 Is a flowchart of a method for controlling household appliances according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0031] Step S102: Obtain adjustment parameters for the target object to adjust the household electrical appliance.

[0032] It should be noted that the aforementioned target objects are users who control household electrical appliances, where household electrical appliances include, but are not limited to, air conditioners, fans, cooking appliances (for example, rice cookers), lighting equipment, and the like. In this application, an air conditioner is taken as an example to illustrate the specific solution of this application.

[0033] In an optional solution, the household appliance has a collection unit for receiving control instructions issued by the user (ie, the target object). Optionally, the collection unit may be a voice recognition device, and the user adjusts the operating parameters of the household appliance by making a voice. The collection unit parses and recognizes the user's voice after receiving the user's voice to obtain the aforementioned adjustment parameters. For example, after the user utters the voice "The temperature is adjusted to 26°C", the acquisition unit determines that the above-mentioned adjustment parameter is "26°C".

[0034] Optionally, the acquisition unit may be an image recognition device, and the image recognition unit may recognize the user's body movements, and determine the adjustment parameters that the user needs to adjust the household electrical appliances according to the user's body movements. Among them, different body movements of the user correspond to different adjustment parameters. For example, if the user raises one hand, the acquisition unit determines the adjustment parameter as "5°C increase"; when raising two hands, the acquisition unit determines the adjustment parameter as "10°C increase" ".

[0035] Optionally, the acquisition unit may also be a remote control or a wire control board, and the user inputs adjustment parameters through keys on the remote control or the wire control board.

[0036] Step S104: Obtain historical operating parameters of the household appliance in the current environment.

[0037] It should be noted that the collection unit in the home appliance includes an environmental information collection unit and an operation information collection unit. The environmental information collection unit is used to collect information in the environment of the area where the home appliance is located, for example, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.; The operating information unit is used to collect operating data of household electrical appliances, where the operating data of household electrical appliances characterizes the user's (ie target object) usage habits of using household electrical appliances.

[0038] In addition, it should also be noted that the environmental information collection unit collects environmental information of the environment in which the home appliance is located, and after the operation information collection unit collects the operating data of the home appliance, the home appliance will collect the environmental information and the operation of the home appliance. The data and current time information are stored in the database and connect the relationship between the three.

[0039] In an optional solution, after the household electrical appliance obtains the environmental information of the current environment in which the household electrical appliance is located through the environmental information collection unit, the operating data of the household electrical appliance corresponding to the environmental information and the current time information is found from the aforementioned database To get historical operating data. For example, if the current environmental information is temperature 25°C, humidity 30%, and the current time is 8 o'clock in the evening, the household electrical appliance can query the database corresponding to the temperature 25°C, humidity 30%, and time 8 o’clock in the evening. The historical operating parameters of the device, which represent the parameters that users are accustomed to controlling the operation of household electrical appliances in the environment.

[0040] Step S106: Compare the adjustment parameters with the historical operating parameters, and determine the target operating parameters of the household electrical appliance.

[0041] It should be noted that by comparing the adjustment parameters with the historical operating parameters, the difference between the adjusted parameters and the historical operating parameters can be determined, and the target operating parameters of the household appliance can be determined according to the magnitude of the difference. Optionally, when the difference is not large (that is, the difference is less than or equal to the preset threshold), it indicates that the adjustment parameter is within the parameter range corresponding to the user's usage habits. At this time, the home appliance runs according to the adjustment parameter or the historical operation parameter, which can be satisfied The user's comfort requirements, that is, in this scenario, the target operating parameters of the home appliance are adjustment parameters or historical operating parameters. When the difference is large (that is, the difference is greater than the preset threshold), it indicates that the adjustment parameter does not match the user's usage habits. At this time, the household appliance can determine whether to operate according to the adjustment parameter according to the user's feedback, that is, in this scenario, The household appliance determines whether the adjustment parameter is wrong according to the user's feedback. In the case where the user determines that the adjustment parameter is wrong, the household appliance runs according to the historical operating parameters, thereby avoiding the user's misoperation of the household appliance.

[0042] Step S108, controlling the household appliance to operate according to the target operating parameters.

[0043] It should be noted that the target operating parameters obtained in step S106 are the operating parameters most suitable for the user. Therefore, the household electrical appliance operates according to the target operating parameters, which can effectively improve the comfort of the user.

[0044] Based on the solutions defined in steps S102 to S108 above, it can be known that by detecting the adjustment parameters adjusted by the user on the household electrical appliance, the adjustment parameters adjusted by the target object (ie, the user) on the household electrical appliance are acquired and the household electrical appliance is The historical operating parameters in the current environment are compared and adjusted with historical operating parameters, and the target operating parameters of the household electrical appliances are determined according to the comparison results, and then the household electrical appliances are controlled to operate according to the target operating parameters.

[0045] It is easy to notice that the historical operating parameters of the home appliance in the current environment characterize the usage habits of the target object using the home appliance in the current environment. By comparing the adjustment parameters with the historical operating parameters, the difference between the adjusted parameters and the historical operating parameters can be determined. When the difference is not significant (ie the difference is less than or equal to the preset threshold), it indicates that the adjusted parameters correspond to the target object’s usage habits Within the range, at this time, home appliances can operate according to the adjusted parameters or historical operating parameters to meet the user’s comfort requirements; when the difference is large (that is, the difference is greater than the preset threshold), it indicates that the adjusted parameters are not consistent with the target object’s usage habits. At this time, the home appliance can determine whether to operate according to the adjusted parameters according to the feedback of the target object.

[0046] Through the above process, the target operating parameters of the household electrical appliance are determined by comparing the adjusted parameters with the historical operating parameters, so as to avoid the user's misoperation of the operating parameters of the household electrical appliance, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving user comfort. This further solves the technical problem that when the user adjusts the operating parameters of the household electrical appliance, misoperation is likely to occur, and the household electrical appliance cannot meet the user's needs.

[0047] In an optional solution, before acquiring the historical operating parameters of the household electrical appliance in the current environment, a preset database storing the historical operating parameters of the household electrical appliance needs to be constructed. Specifically, first detect the environmental parameters of the area where the household electrical appliance is located, then record the historical operating parameters of the household electrical equipment under environmental parameters every preset time, and establish the relationship between environmental parameters, time information and historical operating parameters, and finally store the environmental parameters , Time information, historical operating parameters and associated relationships to the preset database.

[0048] Optionally, the environmental information collection unit of the household electrical appliance can collect the temperature, humidity, wind speed and other environmental parameters of the area where the household electrical appliance is located. At the same time, the operating information collection unit records the user’s daily usage habits of using household electrical appliances in hours, that is, the hours are The unit records the operating parameters of household appliances. Then use time as the indicator to establish the relationship between environmental parameters, time information, and historical operating parameters. For example, the environmental information collection unit collects the environmental parameters of the area where the home appliance is located every preset time, and records the collection time; at the same time, The operating information collection unit also collects the operating parameters of the household electrical appliances at a preset time and records the collection time. Then, the household appliance associates environmental parameters and operating parameters (ie historical operating parameters) with the same collection time to obtain the above-mentioned association relationship, and store the above-mentioned association relationship in a preset database.

[0049] It should be noted that through the above process, it can be seen that the historical operating parameters of household electrical appliances stored in the preset database are essentially equivalent to storing the user’s habits of using household electrical appliances. The household electrical appliances can be based on the environmental parameters in the current environment and based on presets. The database runs automatically, and the output parameters are adjusted. The user does not need to manually adjust the operating parameters of the household electrical appliances, thus achieving the effect of improving user comfort.

[0050] In an optional solution, before acquiring the adjustment parameters of the target object to adjust the household electrical appliance, it is first detected whether the target object adjusts the operating parameter of the household electrical appliance. Optionally, the home appliance can determine whether the target object adjusts the operating parameters of the home appliance by detecting whether it receives an input instruction from the target object. For example, the home appliance recognizes the voice of the target object and recognizes that the target object needs to When the output temperature of the household electrical appliance is adjusted, the target object is determined to adjust the operating parameters of the household electrical appliance. When it is detected that the target object has not adjusted the operating parameters of the home appliance, the current environmental parameters in the current environment in the current time period are detected, and then the historical operating parameters corresponding to the current environmental parameters are determined from the preset database and controlled The home appliances operate according to historical operating parameters.

[0051] It should be noted that, according to the above process, after the home appliance is started, if the user does not adjust any parameters of the home appliance, the home appliance will output the corresponding parameters according to the historical operating parameters to meet the user's usage habits, and it will also be omitted. The user’s manual adjustment is eliminated. It is easy to notice that since the operating parameters of the household electrical appliances are automatically adjusted based on historical data, the parameters output by the household electrical appliances adapt to the user's usage habits.

[0052] In another alternative solution, when the target object is detected to adjust the operating parameters of the home appliance, the current environmental parameters in the current environment in the current time period are detected, and the current environment parameters are determined from the preset database. The historical operating parameters corresponding to the parameters. Among them, the process of determining the historical operating parameters corresponding to the current environmental parameters from the preset database has been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0053] Further, after obtaining the historical operating parameters corresponding to the current environmental parameters, the household electrical appliance compares the adjustment parameters with the historical operating parameters to determine the target operating parameter of the household electrical appliance. Specifically, the household electrical appliance compares the adjustment parameters with the historical operating parameters to obtain difference data, and then determines the target operating parameter of the household electrical appliance based on the difference data.

[0054] It should be noted that the operating parameters of the household electrical appliance may include multiple operating parameters. Therefore, when the operating parameters of the household electrical appliance include multiple operating parameters, the household electrical appliance compares the parameters corresponding to the adjusted parameters in the historical operating parameters, for example, comparison history The temperature in the operating parameters and the temperature in the adjustment parameters. Optionally, when there are multiple operating parameters of the home appliance, the home appliance can also detect the parameters adjusted by the target object and compare only the adjusted parameters. For example, the operating parameters of the home appliance include temperature, humidity and Wind speed, but the target object only adjusts the temperature, then the household appliance only compares the temperature in the adjusted parameters with the temperature in the historical operating parameters.

[0055] Optionally, when the difference data is greater than a preset threshold, the home appliance generates a first confirmation message and receives second confirmation information that the target object feeds back on the first confirmation message, and then the second confirmation information characterizes the target object’s If the operation is correct, the target operating parameter is determined to be an adjustment parameter; if the second confirmation information indicates that the operation of the target object is incorrect, the target operating parameter is determined to be a historical operating parameter. In the case that the difference data is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that the target operating parameter of the household electrical appliance is an adjustment parameter or a historical operating parameter.

[0056] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first confirmation message is used to remind the target object whether the adjustment parameter is wrong, and the second confirmation message indicates whether the operation of the target object is wrong.

[0057] In an optional solution, when the difference data is greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that the adjustment parameters that the user adjusts to the household appliance are quite different from the user's daily usage habits. At this time, the household appliance generates the first confirmation message , Confirm to the user whether to run with the adjusted parameters. For example, the home appliance generates a voice prompt message to remind the user. After receiving the first confirmation message, the user can input the second confirmation information whether there is an error through voice, gesture or other input devices. Among them, if the user confirms that there is no error, the home appliance will run with the adjusted parameters; if the user confirms that the operation is wrong, the home appliance will determine the target operating parameters of the home appliance from the preset database according to the current environmental information to automatically Adapt to the user's habits and avoid manual adjustment by the user.

[0058] In addition, when the difference data is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the adjustment parameters that the user adjusts to the household electrical appliances are slightly different from the historical operating parameters. At this time, the household electrical appliances operate with the adjusted parameters or historical operating parameters, which can meet the user’s requirements. Comfort requirements. Optionally, the household electrical appliance can select the parameter as the target operating parameter from the adjustment parameters and historical operating parameters in a random selection manner. Preferably, the adjustment parameter is selected as the target operating parameter.

[0059] In an alternative scheme, figure 2 Shows a flow chart of an optional method for controlling household electrical appliances, where: figure 2 Take the air conditioner as an example. Specifically, after the air conditioner is turned on, the processor in the air conditioner detects whether the user adjusts the operating parameters of the air conditioner. When it is detected that the user has not adjusted the operating parameters of the air conditioner, the environmental information collection unit of the air conditioner collects environmental information of the area where the air conditioner is located, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc., and then queries the preset database for the corresponding environmental information Historical operating parameters, and use the found historical operating parameters to control the operation of the air conditioning unit. When it is detected that the user has adjusted the operating parameters of the air conditioner, the environmental information collection unit of the air conditioner collects the environmental information of the area where the air conditioner is located, and then queries the historical operating parameters corresponding to the environmental information from the preset database, and compares the historical operation Parameters and adjustment parameters. When the difference data between the two is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the air conditioning unit is controlled to operate with historical operating parameters or adjustment parameters; when the difference between the two data is greater than the preset threshold, the air conditioner sends the first confirmation message to the user, So that the user can confirm whether the adjustment parameters are wrong. In the case that the user feedbacks that the adjustment parameters are correct, the air conditioning unit operates with the adjustment parameters; in the case that the user feedbacks that the adjustment parameters are incorrect, the environmental information collection unit of the air conditioner collects the environmental information of the area where the air conditioner is located, and then queries the data from the preset database. The historical operating parameters corresponding to the environmental information, and the found historical operating parameters are used to control the operation of the air conditioning unit.

[0060] It can be seen from the above content that the solution provided by this application collects statistics on the daily use habits of users using household electrical appliances through the collection unit. Through the corresponding control method, the household electrical appliance can automatically adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner through the historical operating data during the operation process, thereby meeting the user's demand for the output parameters of the household electrical appliance in the corresponding time period, and avoiding the user's manual adjustment. Make home appliances more intelligent.

Adjust the parameters and historical operating parameters, determine the target operating parameters of the household electrical appliances according to the comparison results, and then control the household electrical appliances to operate according to the target operating parameters.

[0066] It is easy to notice that the historical operating parameters of the home appliance in the current environment characterize the usage habits of the target object using the home appliance in the current environment. By comparing the adjustment parameters with the historical operating parameters, the difference between the adjusted parameters and the historical operating parameters can be determined.

[0069] Optionally, the processing unit of the household electrical appliance can also detect whether the target object adjusts the operating parameters of the household electrical appliance. Among them, in the case that the target object is detected to adjust the operating parameters of the home appliance, the processing unit detects the current environmental parameters in the current environment in the current time period, and determines the historical operating parameters corresponding to the current environmental parameters from the preset database . When it is detected that the target object has not adjusted the operating parameters of the home appliance, the processing unit detects the current environmental parameters in the current environment in the current time period, and then determines the historical operating parameters corresponding to the current environmental parameters from the preset database, And control home appliances to operate according to historical operating parameters.

[0070] In an optional solution, the processing unit also compares the adjustment parameters with historical operating parameters to obtain difference data, and then determines the target operating parameters of the household electrical appliance based on the difference data. Specifically, when the difference data is greater than the preset threshold, the processing unit generates a first confirmation message, and receives the second confirmation information fed back by the target object to the first confirmation message, and then characterizes the operation of the target object in the second confirmation information If there is no error, the target operating parameter is determined to be an adjustment parameter; if the second confirmation information indicates that the operation of the target object is incorrect, the target operating parameter is determined to be a historical operating parameter. In the case that the difference data is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that the target operating parameter of the household electrical appliance is an adjustment parameter or a historical operating parameter. Among them, the second confirmation information indicates whether the operation of the target object is wrong.
