They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0045] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this invention provides a remote control method and a remote control system for a garment processing device 100, wherein the garment processing device 100 has a power-off memory function. The remote control method is executed on a smart terminal 300, which has an app installed for controlling a smart socket 400. Figure 1 As shown, the remote control method includes the following steps:

[0047] The APP obtains the preset instructions from the identification tag 200; according to the preset instructions, the APP sends a power-on or power-off control instruction to the smart socket 400, so that the smart socket 400 controls the clothing processing device 100 to be powered on or off according to the control instruction.

[0048] It should be noted that the above-mentioned remote control method of the present invention is applicable to non-networked clothing processing equipment 100, that is, clothing processing equipment 100 itself cannot be networked and cannot be remotely controlled through smart terminal 300.

[0049] In detail, in practical applications, such as Figure 2As shown, the smart socket 400 is connected to the power supply in the user's home and connects to the server via Wi-Fi. The power connector of the clothing processing device 100 is plugged into the smart socket 400. An app is installed on the smart terminal 300 to control the power supply to or off of the smart socket 400. The smart socket 400 is associated with the app on the smart terminal 300, allowing remote control of the associated smart socket 400's power supply, thereby controlling the power supply to or off of the clothing processing device 100.

[0050] The identification tag 200 contains preset commands that allow the APP to send power-on or power-off control instructions to the smart socket 400. When the smart terminal 300 obtains the preset commands in the identification tag 200, it can directly send power-on or power-off control instructions to the smart socket 400 without user intervention, simplifying the user's operation steps.

[0051] In a further embodiment, the step of the APP sending a power-on or power-off control command to the smart socket according to the preset instruction includes: displaying the control interface of the APP for controlling the power-on or power-off of the smart socket 400 according to the preset instruction; receiving the user's power-on or power-off control command in the control interface; and sending the power-on or power-off control command to the smart socket 400.

[0052] In detail, the identification label 200 contains preset commands that allow the APP to directly display the control interface of the smart socket 400. When the smart terminal 300 obtains the preset commands from the identification label 200, it can display the control interface for controlling the smart socket 400 according to the preset commands. Users can use the identification label 200 to directly access the control interface of the smart socket 400 from the display interface of the smart terminal 300, making operation convenient and enabling quick control of the smart socket 400.

[0053] In the above solution, the control interface of the smart socket 400 is directly displayed by the smart terminal 300 taking a picture, scanning or touching the identification label 200. This eliminates the cumbersome operation steps required when the user controls the smart socket 400 via the APP, such as opening the APP, selecting the bound smart socket 400, selecting the corresponding operation program, adjusting the parameters of the operation program, and starting the APP. This enables quick control of the smart socket 400.

[0054] The smart terminal 300 of the present invention can be, for example, a smart mobile device (smartphone, tablet computer, etc.), a smart home device, a wearable device, a virtual reality device, or any combination thereof, capable of displaying a graphical user interface.

[0055] The identification label 200 is an identification label that comes with the smart socket 400 when it is manufactured. The preset commands in the identification label 200 include the device information of the smart socket 400, such as the device model.

[0056] Before leaving the factory, technicians pre-write preset commands that need to be executed by the smart terminal 300 into the identification label 200. For example, the preset commands can be to directly send control instructions to the smart socket, or to open the APP, or to open the APP and display the control interface of the smart socket 400, or to open the APP and display the parameter setting interface of the smart socket 400 to perform scheduled power-on or power-off, etc.

[0057] Once the identification tag 200 is purchased by the user along with the smart socket 400, the user can quickly control the smart socket 400 through the identification tag 200.

[0058] Optionally, the label 200 can be user-made. Users can generate a label 200 with preset commands via an app and save it in the photo album of the smart terminal 300, or print the label 200 as a physical label that can be placed anywhere in the user's home or carried by the user. Preferably, the label 200 is affixed to the smart socket or clothing processing device for easy user operation. After printing, the label 200 can be laminated to increase its durability.

[0059] In the above solution, users can create the aforementioned identification label 200 according to their own needs for convenience, thus making the control of the smart socket 400 highly flexible.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the above-described remote control method can be applied to the following scenarios: the user puts the clothes to be washed into the laundry processing device 100, adds detergent to the detergent storage box, sets the washing program and parameters on the control panel of the laundry processing device 100, starts the washing, and the laundry processing device 100 runs according to the program set by the user.

[0061] If a user needs to leave home temporarily after the laundry processing equipment 100 has been running for a period of time, and is unsure when they can return home, the user can use the above-mentioned remote control method to perform online laundry or remotely schedule laundry.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the label 200 can be attached to the smart socket 400. At this time, the user can obtain the preset command in the label 200 at home, so that the APP of the smart terminal 300 can directly send the power-off control command to the smart socket, thereby controlling the smart socket 400 to cut off the power, and then causing the clothing processing device 100 to cut off the power. At this time, the clothing processing device 100 activates the power-off memory function and automatically remembers the programs that have been running.

[0063] Before returning home, users can control the smart socket 400 to power on via the smart terminal 300, which in turn powers on the clothing processing device 100. At this time, the clothing processing device 100 automatically continues running the unfinished program. Thus, when the user returns home, the clothing processing device 100 has already completed the washing task, and the user can directly remove the clothes from the device to dry.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the above-described remote control method can be applied to the following scenarios: the user puts the clothes to be washed into the laundry processing device 100, adds detergent to the detergent storage box, sets the washing program and parameters on the control panel of the laundry processing device 100, starts the washing, and the laundry processing device 100 runs according to the program set by the user.

[0065] If a user needs to leave home temporarily after the laundry processing equipment 100 has been running for a period of time, and is unsure when they can return home, the user can use the above-mentioned remote control method to perform online laundry or remotely schedule laundry.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the label 200 can be affixed to the smart socket 400 or the clothing processing device. At this time, the user can obtain the preset command in the label 200 at home, so that the smart terminal 300 can directly display the control interface of the smart socket 400, thereby controlling the smart socket 400 to cut off the power, and then causing the clothing processing device 100 to cut off the power. At this time, the clothing processing device 100 activates the power-off memory function and automatically remembers the program that has been running.

[0067] Before returning home, users can control the smart socket 400 to power on via the smart terminal 300, which in turn powers on the clothing processing device 100. At this time, the clothing processing device 100 automatically continues running the unfinished program. Thus, when the user returns home, the clothing processing device 100 has already completed the washing task, and the user can directly remove the clothes from the device to dry.

[0068] Or, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the above-mentioned remote control method can also be used in the following scenarios: the user puts the clothes to be washed into the laundry processing device 100, adds detergent to the detergent storage box, sets the washing program and parameters on the control panel of the laundry processing device 100, starts the washing, and the laundry processing device 100 runs according to the program set by the user.

[0069] If a user needs to leave home temporarily after the laundry processing device 100 has been running for a period of time, but only remembers that the laundry processing device 100 is still running after leaving home, and the user is unsure when they can return home, the user can use the above-mentioned remote control method to achieve online washing or remote scheduling of washing while away from home.

[0070] Specifically, the identification tag 200 can be stored on the local end of the smart terminal 300 or carried by the user. In this case, no matter where the user is, the preset commands in the identification tag 200 can be obtained, so that the smart terminal 300 can directly display the control interface of the smart socket 400, thereby controlling the smart socket 400 to cut off the power, and then causing the clothing processing device 100 to cut off the power. At this time, the clothing processing device 100 activates the power-off memory function and automatically remembers the programs that have been running.

[0071] Before returning home, users can obtain preset commands from the identification tag 200 and control the smart socket 400 to power on via the smart terminal 300, which in turn controls the clothing processing device 100 to power on. At this time, the clothing processing device 100 automatically continues to run the unfinished program. In this way, when the user returns home, the clothing processing device 100 has completed the washing task, and the user can directly take the clothes out of the clothing processing device 100 to dry.

[0072] The above solution enables the existing "non-networked" clothing processing equipment 100 to be remotely controlled, and also eliminates cumbersome operation steps for users, saving time and improving the user experience.

[0073] In a further embodiment, sending the control command to the smart socket 400 includes: obtaining the control type included in the control command; and sending the control command corresponding to the control type to the smart socket 400 according to the control type.

[0074] In detail, some smart sockets 400 have the function of timed power-on or power-off. Correspondingly, the APP of the smart terminal 300 also has controls for directly powering on or off the smart socket 400, as well as controls for timed power-on or power-off of the smart socket 400.

[0075] When a user operates the above-mentioned different types of controls, the smart terminal 300 sends the corresponding control command to the smart socket 400 according to the different control types.

[0076] In the specific solution, sending the control command corresponding to the control type to the smart socket 400 according to the control type includes: determining that the control type is the first control 301, and then sending a control command to the smart socket 400 to directly turn on or off the power.

[0077] Furthermore, the step of sending the control command corresponding to the control type to the smart socket 400 according to the control type also includes: determining that the control type is the second control 302, then displaying the setting interface corresponding to the control command of the second control 302; receiving the parameter setting command input by the user on the setting interface, the parameter setting command including at least a power-on or power-off delay time; and sending a timed power-on or power-off control command to the smart socket 400.

[0078] In detail, users can control the smart socket 400 to execute direct power-on or power-off commands or timed power-on or power-off commands according to their own needs.

[0079] When a user operates the first control 301 on the APP of the smart terminal 300, the smart terminal 300 sends a direct power-on or power-off command to the smart socket 400. When a user operates the second control 302 on the APP of the smart terminal 300, the APP of the smart terminal 300 jumps to the setting interface for setting a delay for power-on or power-off. The smart terminal 300 receives the parameters entered by the user on the setting interface and sends a timed power-on or power-off control command to the smart socket 400 according to the parameters set by the user.

[0080] Additionally, push notifications can be sent to users via the application before sending timed power-on or power-off control commands. If a user's plans change, they can modify the scheduled time on their smart terminal 300.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preset commands preset in the identification tag 200 include at least the device information of the smart socket 400; according to the preset commands, the control interface for controlling the power on or off of the smart socket 400 includes displaying the control interface of the smart socket 400 that matches the device information.

[0082] In detail, users may use smart sockets 400 in different scenarios in their homes, with different smart sockets 400 controlling different home appliances. For example, one smart socket 400 might control a washing machine, another a water heater, and yet another a water dispenser, etc. Each smart socket 400 has its unique device information written into its chip. By identifying the device information in the identification tag 200, the control interface of the smart socket 400 with that device information can be quickly located, further simplifying the user's operation and improving response speed.

[0083] Preferably, the device information includes the model number of the smart socket 400.

[0084] In this invention, the device information of the smart socket 400 used to control the clothing processing device 100 is also written into the identification tag 200. When the user uses the smart terminal 300 to obtain the preset command in the identification tag 200, the device information of the smart socket 400 is also obtained, so that the display interface of the smart terminal 300 directly jumps to the control interface for controlling the smart socket 400.

[0085] In a further embodiment, the identification tag 200 is stored on the local device of the smart terminal 300; after the camera element of the smart terminal identifies the identification tag 200 and obtains the preset command, it jumps to the control interface of the APP used to control the smart socket 400.

[0086] The above scheme describes a smart terminal's camera element recognizing the identification tag 200 to obtain the preset command, which includes the user directly capturing or scanning the identification tag 200 through the smart terminal's camera element to obtain the preset command, and the user accessing the camera element through an app with other functions to capture or scan the identification tag 200 to obtain the preset command.

[0087] The identification label 200 is a barcode label, a QR code label, or a composite code label.

[0088] In detail, a barcode label is a one-dimensional barcode, which is a graphic identifier that represents a set of information by arranging multiple black bars and spaces of varying widths according to a certain encoding rule. A QR code label, also known as a two-dimensional barcode, is a graphic that uses specific geometric shapes distributed in a two-dimensional plane according to a certain rule to record data symbols. A composite code label is a graphic formed by combining one-dimensional and two-dimensional codes. The preset commands within the aforementioned barcode label, QR code label, or composite code label include at least the device information of the smart socket 400.

[0089] As mentioned earlier, the identification label 200 can be purchased together with the smart socket 400, or it can be made by the user. To better meet the different needs of different users, users can use the APP used to generate the identification label 200 to create identification labels that meet their own needs. When the identification label 200 is a barcode label, QR code label, or composite code label, this type of identification label 200 can be directly saved in the album of the smart terminal 300 after being generated on the APP. Users can also name this type of identification label 200, such as "washing machine smart socket label", so that users can quickly find the identification label 200 in the album.

[0090] When a user wants to control the smart socket 400 using the APP of the smart terminal 300, they can view the picture of the label 200 in the album and directly use the camera element to obtain the preset command in the label 200. The smart terminal 300 will then directly jump to the control interface for controlling the smart socket 400.

[0091] In the above solution, the identification tag 200 is made into an image and stored as an image on the local device of the smart terminal 300. This allows users to quickly access the control interface of the smart socket 400 anytime, anywhere using the image-based identification tag 200, simply by carrying the smart terminal 300 with them, thus eliminating geographical limitations. Moreover, the image-based identification tag 200 requires no cost, reducing consumable consumption, achieving energy conservation and emission reduction, and lowering user costs.

[0092] In other embodiments of the present invention, the identification tag 200 is an NFC tag element or an RFID tag element.

[0093] In detail, NFC and RFID tags are used as identification tags 200. One-touch power-off action information is written into the NFC and RFID tags. When the user touches the NFC and RFID tags with the smart terminal 300, the display interface of the smart terminal 300 will jump to the control interface of the APP that controls the smart socket 400. The user can set the power-on time of the smart socket 400 as the scheduled time for the clothing processing device 100 to continue the washing and care program.

[0094] The above solution uses NFC and RFID tags as identification tags 200, which further simplifies the user's operation steps and provides convenience for the user to control the smart socket 400.

[0095] The remote control system of the garment processing equipment of the present invention adopts the remote control method described above.

[0096] Detailed, such as Figure 2 As shown, the remote control system includes an identification tag 200, a smart socket 400, a smart terminal 300, and a computer board for the clothing processing device 100.

[0097] In actual use, the smart socket 400 is plugged into a power outlet in the user's home, and the power supply connector of the clothing processing device 100 is plugged into the smart socket 400. The smart terminal 300 is equipped with an APP for controlling the smart socket 400, and the identification tag 200 contains preset commands that allow direct access to the control interface of the smart socket 400 through the APP. The smart terminal 300 uses an NFC identification module or takes a picture or scans the corresponding type of identification tag 200 to obtain the preset commands contained in the identification tag 200. Based on the preset commands, it displays the control interface for controlling the smart socket 400, and simultaneously responds to the control commands issued by the user on the control interface to the smart socket 400, and then sends the control commands to the smart socket 400, thereby controlling the power supply to or off of the clothing processing device 100.

[0098] This invention combines the remote control function of the smart socket 400 with the power failure memory function of the clothing processing device 100 itself to realize the remote function of the non-networked clothing processing device 100.

[0099] Furthermore, the identification label 200 enables power-off with a simple scan or touch, and automatically redirects to the control interface of the smart socket 400, improving ease of operation.

[0100] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
