Problems solved by technology

[0003] Based on the network function, the remote operation and maintenance server can also implement remote program download and update for home appliances. For example, after the server obtains the program that needs to be updated, it will broadcast the program that needs to be updated to the home appliance through a network connection. After receiving the program that needs to be updated, the home appliance will update the program after the home appliance is turned on again or wait for the user's confirmation based on the user's inquiry; based on the network function, the remote operation and maintenance server can also implement remote Fault diagnosis, for example, when a fault occurs in a home appliance, the fault code is sent to the server based on the network connection, and the server can analyze the cause of the fault based on the fault code. When the program needs to be updated, the program to be updated is sent to the server based on the network connection. On the maintenance terminal of the maintenance personnel, the maintenance personnel use the maintenance terminal to connect with the home appliances to implement program updates on the home appliances; or, it is necessary to send a user terminal that can be connected to the home appliance based on a network connection with the new program, and then the user terminal will be connected to the home appliance. The program is sent to the home appliance to update the program, but no matter which way, the user needs to wait, and there is a problem of untimely maintenance, which reduces the user experience

Embodiment 1

[0056] This embodiment takes a washing machine as an example, such as image 3 shown.

[0057] 1. The user terminal initiates a connection request to the washing machine based on the APP.

[0058] 2. The washing machine notifies the domain controller user to initiate a connection request.

[0059] 3. The domain controller establishes a user interface and establishes a connection with the user terminal.

[0060] 4. The washing machine starts and executes the washing program according to the operation instruction sent by the user terminal.

[0061] 5. When the washing machine fails to stop during operation, it sends a fault command to the domain controller, and at the same time sends a fault reminder message to the user terminal.

[0062] 6. The domain controller establishes a maintenance interface, and sets the attribute device of the maintenance interface as connectable.

[0063] 7. The user is informed of the failure of the washing machine through the user terminal, and r...

Embodiment 2

[0079] This embodiment is implemented on the basis of the first embodiment, such as Figure 4 shown:

[0080] In step 3 of the first embodiment, after the domain controller establishes the user interface and establishes the connection with the user terminal, the washing machine main controller stores the user terminal connection information related to the connection between the user terminal and the domain controller.

[0081] When the washing machine acquires the program and updates it,

[0082] 20. The washing machine sends the user terminal connection information to the domain controller.

[0083] 21. The domain controller re-establishes the user interface, and establishes a connection with the user terminal based on the user terminal connection information.

[0084] In this embodiment, after the program update is completed, the domain controller actively establishes a user interface, and establishes a connection with the user terminal based on the stored user terminal co...

Embodiment 3

[0086] This embodiment continues to develop on the basis of the second embodiment.

[0087] After the program update is completed and the washing machine restarts, such as Figure 5 shown:

[0088] 22. The washing machine sends a query message to the user terminal whether to execute the program from the breakpoint before the failure.

[0089] 23. The user selects confirmation or denial using the user terminal.

[0090] 24. After receiving the confirmation instruction fed back by the user terminal, the washing machine continues to execute the program from the breakpoint before the failure.

[0091] 25. After receiving the negative instruction fed back by the user terminal, the household appliance pushes the list of optional executable programs to the user terminal.

[0092] Taking a washing machine as an example, the list of optional execution programs, such as performing a dehydration program, performing a rinsing program, and re-executing a washing program, etc., can be se...

Abstract

The invention discloses a household appliance program updating method and a household appliance, a domain controller is configured for the household appliance, when the household appliance breaks down, the domain controller creates a maintenance interface and sets the maintenance interface to be connectable, and an engineer can use a remote maintenance terminal to request to access the household appliance based on a unique IP identity code of the domain controller. The domain controller establishes connection with the household appliance, the domain controller sends a fault code of the household appliance to the remote maintenance terminal, an engineer can analyze a fault reason based on the fault code and sends an update program to the household appliance when the fault reason can be solved through the update program, and the domain controller forwards the update program to the household appliance when receiving the update program. The household appliance implements program updating; according to the program updating mode with the household appliance as the requested end and the remote maintenance terminal as the request end, an engineer can use the remote maintenance terminal to immediately access the fault equipment, process the program fault in time and solve the fault problem in the shortest time, and the fault processing efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a method for updating a program of household appliances and the household appliances. Background technique [0002] With the development of Internet of Things technology, home appliances such as washing machines have network functions, enabling home appliances to receive information and control instructions sent by user terminals or service terminals, enabling users to remotely control home appliances. [0003] Based on the network function, the remote operation and maintenance server can also implement remote program download and update for the home appliance. For example, after the server obtains the program that needs to be updated, it will broadcast the program to be updated to the home appliance through the network connection. On the other hand, after receiving the program that needs to be updated, the home appliance device will restart the home appl...
