Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of washing, and particularly to an intelligent laundry method, device, equipment and washing machine. Background Art
[0002] With the development and popularization of washing machine products, people's dependence on washing machines is getting higher and higher. Using a washing machine to wash clothes has become a common laundry method for modern people. Moreover, people's requirements for the quality and cleanliness of the clothes they wear are also getting higher and higher, and the frequency of using a washing machine to wash clothes has also increased accordingly. However, most washing machines on the market currently have pre-set washing modes when they leave the factory. When users use the washing machine, they only use it in the pre-set washing modes and cannot make changes according to the actual needs of the users, resulting in a poor user experience when using the washing machine. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide an intelligent laundry method, device, equipment and washing machine, which can recommend a washing mode according to the user's usage habits and improve the user experience.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the embodiments of the present invention provide an intelligent laundry method, including:

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the intelligent laundry method disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention first determines whether the current user is a new user. Since each operation of the washing mode by the user will be saved, when it is determined that the current user is not a new user, the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user is displayed. Then, when the non-new user selects the recommended washing mode, it is determined whether the non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode. Finally, when the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, the recommended washing mode is updated according to the changed parameters, and the laundry operation is performed according to the recommended washing mode after the parameter change. At the same time, the washing mode that conforms to the user's habits is continuously calculated based on the user's historical parameters and stored for convenient recommendation next time. The intelligent laundry method disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention can recommend washing modes according to the user's usage habits and improve the user experience.
[0010] As an improvement of the above solution, the method further includes:
[0011] When the changed parameters are not within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, a first storage prompt message is issued; wherein, the first storage prompt message is used to prompt the non-new user whether to store the recommended washing mode after the current parameter change.
[0012] When it is detected that the non-new user selects not to store the recommended washing mode after the parameter change, the laundry operation is performed according to the recommended washing mode after the parameter change.
[0013] When it is detected that the non-new user selects to store the recommended washing mode after the parameter change, the recommended washing mode after the current parameter change is stored as another recommended washing mode, and the laundry operation is performed according to the recommended washing mode after the parameter change.
[0014] As an improvement of the above solution, after displaying the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user, it further includes:
[0015] When the non-new user does not select the recommended washing mode, the new washing mode input by the non-new user is received.
[0016] It is determined whether the parameters of the new washing mode are within the parameter threshold of the recommended washing mode.
[0017] If so, the recommended washing mode is updated according to the parameters of the new washing mode; if not, a second storage prompt message is issued; wherein, the second storage prompt message is used to prompt the non-new user whether to store the current new washing mode.
[0018] When it is detected that the non-new user selects not to store the new washing mode, the laundry operation is performed according to the new washing mode.
[0019] When it is detected that the non-new user selects to store a new washing mode, store the new washing mode as another recommended washing mode, and perform a laundry operation according to the new washing mode.
[0020] As an improvement of the above solution, the recommended washing mode includes at least one of a normal washing mode and a special washing mode; wherein, the normal washing mode is a washing mode commonly used by the user, and the special washing mode is a washing mode not commonly used by the user.

[0022] Display the normal washing mode and the special washing mode corresponding to the non-new user; wherein, the normal washing mode is displayed before the special washing mode.
[0023] As an improvement of the above solution, the user detection instruction is a user biometric instruction, and the determination of whether the current user is a new user specifically includes:
[0024] Receive the biometric information of the current user; wherein, the biometric information includes at least one of fingerprint information, face information, and iris information;
[0025] Determine whether the biometric information matches the pre-stored standard biometric information;
[0026] If so, determine that the current user is a non-new user; if not, determine that the current user is a new user.
[0027] As an improvement of the above solution, after determining whether the current user is a new user, it further includes:
[0028] When the current user is a new user, receive the current washing mode input by the new user;
[0029] Determine whether to record the washing habits of the current new user;
[0030] If so, allocate a database for the new user to store the current washing mode, and perform a laundry operation according to the current washing mode; if not, perform a laundry operation according to the current washing mode.

[0053] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0054] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a flowchart of an intelligent laundry method provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
[0055] It should be noted that the intelligent laundry method described in the embodiments of the present invention is implemented by a controller installed in the washing machine, and in this embodiment, the controller is used as the execution subject for description. A biometric acquisition device is installed on the washing machine to record the biometric information of the user, so that the washing machine can record the washing history parameters corresponding to each user, which is convenient for calculating recommended parameters later.
[0056] In the embodiments of the present invention, the clothing material detection method includes the following steps S1 to S4:
[0057] S1. When responding to a user detection instruction, determine whether the current user is a new user;
[0058] S2. When the current user is not a new user, display the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user; wherein, the recommended washing mode is calculated according to the user's historical parameters;
[0059] S3. When the non-new user selects the recommended washing mode, determine whether the non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode;
[0060] S4. If so, when the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, update the recommended washing mode according to the changed parameters, and perform the laundry operation according to the recommended washing mode after changing the parameters; if not, perform the laundry operation according to the recommended washing mode.
[0061] Specifically, in step S1, each non-new user has its corresponding database, and the database stores the biometric information and user historical parameters corresponding to the non-new user. Thus, it is possible to match the database according to the user's input information.
[0062] Specifically, the user detection instruction is a user biometric recognition instruction, and determining whether the current user is a new user specifically includes:
[0063] S11. Receive the biometric information of the current user; wherein, the biometric information includes at least one of fingerprint information, face information, and iris information;
[0064] S12. Determine whether the biometric information matches the pre-stored standard biometric information;
[0065] S13. If so, determine that the current user is a non-new user; if not, determine that the current user is a new user.
[0066] Exemplarily, the biometric acquisition device may include at least one of a face acquisition device, a fingerprint acquisition device, and an iris acquisition device, which is used to input the biometric information of the user, so as to determine whether a new user is added. After identifying the biometric information of each user, an ID information is assigned to each user, and a database is assigned according to the ID information of each user input, which is used to record the usage habits of each user.
[0067] It should be noted that when the biometric information is fingerprint information, there may be such a situation: each user has ten fingerprints, and the washing machine may misjudge them as ten people. Therefore, after the washing machine inputs the fingerprints of the user, it saves the fingerprints of the user. When a new fingerprint is detected, a prompt of whether it is a new user appears on the display interface. If the user selects yes, the user is regarded as a new member, and the fingerprint information of the new user is saved. At the same time, a database is assigned to the new user. When the user selects no, a prompt appears asking whether the user wants to change the fingerprint. If yes, the fingerprint information is used to replace the previous fingerprint information, and the information in the original database is matched with the new fingerprint. If the fingerprint is not changed, this fingerprint can also be retained, that is, multiple fingerprint information of the user is stored at this time.
[0068] Specifically, in step S2, when the current user is a non-new user, the non-new user is a user who has used the washing machine before. At this time, the historical parameters corresponding to the non-new user have been stored in the washing machine, that is, the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user is stored in the washing machine. The recommended washing mode is continuously updated according to the parameters of multiple washing modes after the user uses the washing machine multiple times. It should be noted that when the non-new user uses the washing machine for the second time, the recommended washing mode at this time is the washing mode used by the non-new user last time.
[0069] Preferably, the recommended washing mode includes at least one of a normal washing mode and a special washing mode; wherein, the normal washing mode is a washing mode commonly used by users, and the special washing mode is a washing mode not commonly used by users. The division of the washing mode can be set according to the frequency of the user using the washing machine. For example, if the user is an ordinary family user, the normal washing mode is the mode when the user often uses the washing machine to wash clothes (the frequency is about once a day), and the corresponding special washing mode is the mode when the user occasionally uses the washing machine to wash bed sheets and quilt covers (the frequency is about once a month). The parameter settings in different modes are significantly different, so as to divide the parameter threshold and further distinguish the normal washing mode and the special washing mode.
[0070] Preferably, when the recommended washing mode includes a normal washing mode and a special washing mode, the display of the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user specifically includes: displaying the normal washing mode and the special washing mode corresponding to the non-new user; wherein, the normal washing mode is displayed before the special washing mode. Since the normal washing mode is a commonly used mode by users, when the display unit (display screen) displays, the normal washing mode is preferentially displayed in the front for the convenience of users to check.
[0071] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is the display interface when the non-new user is identified by face recognition. Figure 2 The icon in the upper left corner of Figure 2 is the face image of the non-new user, so that the user can determine that the current washing mode is a washing mode suitable for himself / herself and avoid confusion with others. The historical mode in
[0072] Similarly, Figure 3 is the display interface when the non-new user is identified by fingerprint recognition. Figure 3The user name in the upper left corner is the nickname of the non-new user, enabling the user to determine that the current washing mode is suitable for themselves and avoiding confusion with others. It should be noted that when the non-new user is identified by other identification methods than the above, such as iris recognition, the nickname or face image can be displayed in the upper left corner, which is not specifically limited here.
[0073] Specifically, in step S3, when the non-new user selects the recommended washing mode, for example, when the non-new user selects Figure 2 "User-defined mode 1" in Figure 4 as shown (when the non-new user selects Figure 3 "User-defined mode 1" in Figure 5 as shown), the parameters in the normal washing mode include washing dose, laundry time, detergent type, water consumption, etc. At this time, it is judged whether the non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode.
[0074] Specifically, in step S4, when the non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode, it is further judged whether the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode. Only when the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, the recommended washing mode is updated according to the changed parameters (that is, at this time, the parameters are updated in combination with previous data, such as taking the average value of all parameters), and the laundry operation is performed according to the recommended washing mode after changing the parameters. When the non-new user does not change the parameters of the recommended washing mode, it indicates that the user directly uses the current recommended washing mode for laundry, and at this time, the laundry operation is performed according to the recommended washing mode.
[0075] Exemplarily, preset parameter thresholds are set for the parameters of the recommended washing mode. Usually, the daily laundry habits of the same user do not change greatly. Therefore, even if the user changes the parameters, they will not change much. Therefore, setting appropriate thresholds can ensure that the parameter update of the recommended washing mode is more reasonable. As Figure 6 or Figure 7 shown, when the user changes the "washing time", it is judged whether the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode. If within the range, the recommended washing mode is recalculated according to the changed parameters.
[0076] Further, when the user usually washes special clothes (such as sheets), the input washing parameters are quite different from those for washing clothes. For example, the user has only washed clothes (in the normal washing mode) using the washing machine, but has not washed sheets (in the special washing mode) using the washing machine yet. In this case, if this data is applied to the normal washing mode, it is likely to cause problems such as data processing errors or incorrect recommendations due to the large difference in data. At this time, the method further includes steps S41 to S43:
[0077] S41. When the changed parameter is not within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, a first storage prompt message is issued; wherein, the first storage prompt message is used to prompt the non-new user whether to store the recommended washing mode after the current parameter change. For example, a pop-up window "Whether to save this data" is displayed on the display interface, and options "Yes" and "No" are also displayed.
[0078] S42. When it is detected that the non-new user chooses not to store the recommended washing mode after the parameter change, that is, chooses the "No" option, the laundry operation is performed according to the recommended washing mode after the parameter change, and the record of the changed parameter is deleted at the same time.
[0079] S43. When it is detected that the non-new user chooses to store the recommended washing mode after the parameter change, that is, chooses the "Yes" option, the recommended washing mode after the current parameter change is stored as another recommended washing mode, and the laundry operation is performed according to the recommended washing mode after the parameter change. At this time, the user can name the stored another recommended mode, which can be used as a special washing mode. At the same time, the system sets parameter thresholds for this specially named mode to facilitate continuous update of this specially named mode in the future.
[0080] Further, after determining whether the current user is a new user in step S1, steps S21 to S22 are further included:
[0081] S21. When the current user is a new user, the current washing mode input by the new user is received.
[0082] S22. The laundry operation is performed according to the current washing mode.
[0083] Specifically, when it is detected that the current user is a new user, a prompt of whether the user is a new user appears on the display interface. If the user selects "yes", the user is regarded as a new user, and the current washing mode input by the new user is received. At this time, a prompt of whether to record the washing habits of the current new user also appears on the display interface. The user can choose whether to record their own washing habits according to the prompt. When the new user selects to record their own washing habits, a database is allocated for the new user to store the parameters of the current washing mode, and at the same time, the biometric information of the new user is saved in the database. When the new user selects not to record their own washing habits (the new user may just borrow a non-new user's washing machine to wash clothes, just a one-time use), there is no need to allocate a database for the new user, and the laundry operation is directly performed according to the current washing mode.
[0084] Further, after the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user is displayed in step S2, steps S31 to S35 are further included:
[0085] S31. When the non-new user does not select the recommended washing mode, receive the new washing mode input by the non-new user;
[0086] S32. Judge whether the parameters of the new washing mode are within the parameter threshold of the recommended washing mode;
[0087] S33. If so, update the recommended washing mode according to the parameters of the new washing mode; if not, send a second storage prompt message; wherein, the second storage prompt message is used to prompt the non-new user whether to store the current new washing mode;
[0088] S34. When it is detected that the non-new user selects not to store the new washing mode, perform the laundry operation according to the new washing mode;
[0089] S35. When it is detected that the non-new user selects to store the new washing mode, store the new washing mode as another recommended washing mode and perform the laundry operation according to the new washing mode.
[0090] Specifically, when the non-new user does not select the recommended washing mode displayed on the display interface, for example Figure 2 as shown, the non-new user selects "New Definition Mode", and at this time, a new parameter selection interface is entered, as Figure 4, at this time, the system will also recommend parameters for the non-new user to select. Of course, the non-new user can also customize the parameters. After the non-new user selects the parameters, each parameter is judged whether it meets the parameter threshold of any of the existing recommended washing modes. If so, it is used as a historical parameter to update the parameters of the recommended washing mode. If not, a second storage prompt message is sent to prompt the user whether to store the current new washing mode as another recommended washing mode. When the non-new user chooses not to store the new washing mode, the laundry operation is performed according to the new washing mode, and the parameter record of this new washing mode is deleted at the same time. When it is detected that the non-new user chooses to store the new washing mode, the new washing mode is stored as another recommended washing mode, and the laundry operation is performed according to the new washing mode. At this time, the user can name the stored another recommended mode, which can be used as a special washing mode. At the same time, the system sets parameter thresholds for this specially named mode to facilitate continuous updating of this specially named mode in the future.
[0091] Furthermore, the above process can be referred to Figure 8 .
[0092] Compared with the prior art, the intelligent laundry method disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention first judges whether the current user is a new user. Since each operation of the user on the washing mode will be saved, when it is determined that the current user is a non-new user, the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user is displayed; then, when the non-new user selects the recommended washing mode, it is judged whether the non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode; finally, when the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, the recommended washing mode is updated according to the changed parameters, and the laundry operation is performed according to the recommended washing mode after the parameters are changed. At the same time, the washing mode that conforms to the user's habits is continuously calculated based on the user's historical parameters and stored for convenient recommendation next time. The intelligent laundry method disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention can recommend washing modes according to the user's usage habits, improving the user experience.
[0093] See Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a structural block diagram of an intelligent laundry device 10 provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
[0094] It should be noted that the intelligent laundry device 10 described in the embodiment of the present invention is a controller installed in the washing machine. A biometric acquisition device is installed on the washing machine to record the biometric information of the user, so that the washing machine can record the washing historical parameters corresponding to each user, which is convenient for subsequent calculation of recommended parameters.
[0095] In the embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent laundry device 10 includes:
[0096] A user identification module 11, configured to determine whether the current user is a new user when responding to a user detection instruction;
[0097] A washing mode display module 12, configured to display a recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user when the current user is a non-new user; wherein, the recommended washing mode is calculated based on user historical parameters;
[0098] A first judgment module 13, configured to determine whether the non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode when the non-new user selects the recommended washing mode;
[0099] A washing mode update module 14, when the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, updates the recommended washing mode according to the changed parameters;
[0100] A washing module 15, configured to update the recommended washing mode according to the changed parameters when the non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode; and is further configured to perform a laundry operation according to the recommended washing mode when the non-new user does not change the parameters of the recommended washing mode.
[0101] Further, referring to Figure 10 , the intelligent laundry device 10 further includes: a storage prompt information sending module 16 and a second judgment module 17. Specifically, the functions of the storage prompt information sending module 16 and the second judgment module 17 will be described later.
[0102] Specifically, each non-new user has its corresponding database, and the database stores biometric information and user historical parameters corresponding to the non-new user. Thus, it is possible to match the database according to the user's input information.
[0103] Specifically, the user detection instruction is a user biometric identification instruction, and the user identification module 11 is specifically configured to: receive biometric information of the current user; wherein, the biometric information includes at least one of fingerprint information, face information, and iris information; determine whether the biometric information matches pre-stored standard biometric information; if so, determine that the current user is a non-new user; if not, determine that the current user is a new user.
[0104] Exemplarily, the biometric collection device may include at least one of a face collection device, a fingerprint collection device, and an iris collection device, which is used to input the biometric information of the user, and then send the biometric information to the user identification module 11 to determine whether a new user is added. After identifying the biometric information of each user, the intelligent laundry device 10 will assign an ID information to each user, and allocate a database according to the ID information of each user input, which is used to record the usage habits of each user.
[0105] It should be noted that when the biometric information is fingerprint information, there may be such a situation: each user has ten fingerprints, and the washing machine may misjudge them as ten people. Therefore, after the washing machine inputs the fingerprints of the user, it saves the fingerprints of the user. When a new fingerprint is detected, a prompt of whether it is a new user appears on the display interface. If the user selects "yes", this user is regarded as a new member, and the fingerprint information of the new user is saved. At the same time, a database is allocated for the new user. When the user selects "no", a prompt appears asking whether the user wants to replace the fingerprint. If the user selects "yes", the fingerprint information will replace the previous fingerprint information, and the information in the original database will be matched with the new fingerprint. If the user does not replace the fingerprint, this fingerprint can also be retained, that is, multiple fingerprint information of the user is stored at this time.
[0106] Specifically, when the current user is a non-newly added user, that is, a user who has used the washing machine before, at this time, the historical parameters corresponding to the non-newly added user have been stored in the washing machine, that is, the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-newly added user is stored in the washing machine. The washing mode display module 12 displays the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-newly added user, and the recommended washing mode is continuously updated according to the parameters of multiple washing modes after the user uses the washing machine multiple times. It should be noted that when the non-newly added user uses the washing machine for the second time, the recommended washing mode at this time is the washing mode used by the non-newly added user last time.
[0107] Preferably, the recommended washing mode includes at least one of a normal washing mode and a special washing mode; wherein, the normal washing mode is the washing mode commonly used by the user, and the special washing mode is the washing mode not commonly used by the user. The division of the washing mode can be set according to the frequency of the user using the washing machine. For example, if the user is an ordinary family user, the normal washing mode is the mode when the user often uses the washing machine to wash clothes (the frequency is about once a day), and the corresponding special washing mode is the mode when the user occasionally uses the washing machine to wash sheets and quilts (the frequency is about once a month). The parameter settings in different modes are significantly different, so as to divide the parameter threshold, and then distinguish the normal washing mode and the special washing mode.
[0108] Preferably, when the recommended washing mode includes a normal washing mode and a special washing mode, the washing mode display module 12 displays the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user, specifically including: displaying the normal washing mode and the special washing mode corresponding to the non-new user; wherein, the normal washing mode is displayed before the special washing mode. Since the normal washing mode is a commonly used mode by users, when the display unit (display screen) displays, it preferentially displays the normal washing mode in the front for the convenience of users to consult.
[0109] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 is the display interface when the non-new user is identified by face recognition. Figure 2 The icon in the upper left corner in is the face image of the non-new user, so that the user can determine that the current washing mode is the washing mode applicable to himself / herself and avoid confusion with others. Figure 2 The historical mode in is the recommended washing mode obtained according to the user's historical parameters, and the newly defined mode is the mode in which the user selects parameters by himself / herself when not using the recommended parameters. The "User-Named Mode 1" in the right list in the figure is the name given by the user to the recommended normal washing mode, and there can be multiple normal washing modes, all of which are displayed in the front. Similarly, the "Special Mode Named by User Name" in the right list in the figure is the name given by the user to the special washing mode with recommended parameters and is displayed at the back. It should be noted that when the user has not named the recommended washing mode all the time, the system can name the recommended washing mode with the default name.
[0110] Similarly, Figure 3 is the display interface when the non-new user is identified by fingerprint recognition. Figure 3 The user name in the upper left corner in is the nickname of the non-new user, so that the user can determine that the current washing mode is the washing mode applicable to himself / herself and avoid confusion with others.
[0111] Specifically, when the non-new user selects the recommended washing mode, for example, when the non-new user selects Figure 2 "User-Named Mode 1" in, the display interface is as shown in Figure 4 (when the non-new user selects Figure 3 "User-Named Mode 1" in, the display interface is as shown in Figure 5 ). The parameters in the normal washing mode include the washing dosage, washing time, detergent type, water consumption, etc. At this time, the first judgment module 13 judges whether the non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode.
[0112] Specifically, when the first judgment module 13 determines that a non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode, only when the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, the washing mode update module 14 updates the recommended washing mode according to the changed parameters (that is, at this time, the parameters are updated in combination with past data, such as taking the average value of all parameters), and at the same time, the washing module 15 performs the laundry operation according to the recommended washing mode after the parameters are changed. When the non-new user does not change the parameters of the recommended washing mode, it indicates that the user directly uses the current recommended washing mode for laundry, and at this time, the laundry operation is performed according to the recommended washing mode.
[0113] Exemplarily, preset parameter thresholds are set for the parameters of the recommended washing mode. Usually, the daily laundry habits of the same user do not change greatly. Therefore, even if the user changes the parameters, the change will not be significant. Therefore, setting appropriate thresholds can ensure that the parameter update of the recommended washing mode is more reasonable. For example Figure 6 or Figure 7 as shown, when the user changes the "washing time", at this time, it is judged whether the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode. If they are within the range, the recommended washing mode is recalculated according to the changed parameters.
[0114] Preferably, when the changed parameters are not within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, the storage prompt information sending module 16 sends a first storage prompt information (at this time, the user may have selected the normal washing mode, but the system does not yet have a special washing mode. For example, the user has only used the washing machine to wash clothes, but has not used the washing machine to wash sheets); among them, the first storage prompt information is used to prompt the non-new user whether to store the recommended washing mode after the current parameter change. For example, a pop-up window "Whether to save this data" is displayed on the display interface, and "Yes" and "No" options are also displayed.
[0115] When it is detected that the non-new user chooses not to store the recommended washing mode after changing the parameters, that is, chooses the "No" option, the washing module 15 performs the laundry operation according to the recommended washing mode after the parameters are changed, and at the same time deletes the record of the changed parameters this time. When it is detected that the non-new user chooses to store the recommended washing mode after changing the parameters, that is, chooses the "Yes" option, the current recommended washing mode after changing the parameters is stored as another recommended washing mode. The washing module 15 performs the laundry operation according to the recommended washing mode after the parameters are changed. At this time, the user can name the stored another recommended mode, which can be used as a special washing mode, and at the same time, the system sets parameter thresholds for the special named mode to facilitate continuous updating of the special named mode in the future.
[0116] Further, when the user identification module 11 determines that the current user is a new user, the washing module 15 receives the current washing mode input by the new user and performs a laundry operation according to the current washing mode.
[0117] Specifically, when it is detected that the current user is a new user, a prompt of whether it is a new user appears on the display interface at this time. If the user selects "yes", the user is regarded as a new user, and the current washing mode input by the new user is received. At this time, a prompt of whether to record the washing habits of the current new user also appears on the display interface. The user can choose whether to record their own washing habits according to the prompt. When the new user selects to record their own washing habits, a database is allocated for the new user to store the parameters of the current washing mode, and at the same time, the biometric information of the new user is saved in the database. When the new user selects not to record their own washing habits (this new user may just borrow the washing machine of a non-new user to wash clothes and is only using it once), there is no need to allocate a database for this new user, and the laundry operation is directly performed according to the current washing mode.
[0118] Further, when the non-new user does not select the recommended washing mode, the new washing mode input by the non-new user is received; the second judgment module 17 judges whether the parameters of the new washing mode are within the parameter threshold of the recommended washing mode; if so, the washing mode update module 14 updates the recommended washing mode according to the parameters of the new washing mode; if not, the storage prompt information sending module 16 sends out the second storage prompt information; wherein, the second storage prompt information is used to prompt the non-new user whether to store the current new washing mode; when it is detected that the non-new user selects not to store the new washing mode, the washing module 15 performs a laundry operation according to the new washing mode; when it is detected that the non-new user selects to store the new washing mode, the new washing mode is stored as another recommended washing mode, and the washing module 15 performs a laundry operation according to the new washing mode.
[0119] Compared with the prior art, for the intelligent laundry device 10 disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention, first, the user identification module 11 determines whether the current user is a new user. Since each operation of the washing mode by the user will be saved, when it is determined that the current user is not a new user, the washing mode display module 12 displays the recommended washing mode corresponding to the non-new user. Then, when the non-new user selects the recommended washing mode, the first judgment module 13 determines whether the non-new user changes the parameters of the recommended washing mode. Finally, when the changed parameters are within the parameter threshold corresponding to the recommended washing mode, the washing mode update module 14 updates the recommended washing mode according to the changed parameters, and the washing module 15 performs the laundry operation according to the recommended washing mode after the parameters are changed. At the same time, the washing mode that conforms to the user's habits is continuously calculated based on the user's historical parameters and stored for convenient recommendation next time. The intelligent laundry device disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention can recommend the washing mode according to the user's usage habits, improving the user experience.
