At present, most of the Internet-connected washing machines have corresponding APPs. When the washing machine is connected to the Internet, the APP can be opened, and the device control interface can be found to control the washing machine.

[0016] The control method of the intelligent home appliance system of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings:
[0017] Figure 1 It is the main step flow chart of the control method of the intelligent home appliance system of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments
[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can adjust them as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios. For example, although it is described in combination with a washing machine here, the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to the washing machine. Those skilled in the art can apply it to other laundry treatment devices as needed, such as shoe washing machines and sock washing machines.
[0019] In a possible implementation, smart home appliances (such as washing machines, smart shoe cabinets, clothing care cabinets, smart door locks, etc.) and terminal devices are respectively connected to a router. The smart home appliances, terminal devices, and router form a local network, and the router is connected to a server, jointly forming a smart home appliance system application network. The laundry processing device of the present invention is described by taking a washing machine as an example. An Internet of Things module is provided on the washing machine of the present invention, and the washing machine is connected to the router through the Internet of Things module to communicate with the terminal device and the server. The above terminal device is, for example, a mobile device, a computer, or an in-vehicle device built into a mobile vehicle, etc., or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the mobile device may, for example, include a mobile phone, a smart home device, a wearable device, a smart mobile device, a virtual reality device, etc., or any combination thereof. Hereinafter, the terminal device is exemplified by a smart phone.
[0020] In addition, as a possible implementation, the product serial number or MAC address of the washing machine and the information of the corresponding control interface website are written into the NFC tag, and the NFC tag is set on the washing machine and / or other positions in the room, such as bedside tables, coffee tables and other positions convenient for users to operate. Hereinafter, the case where the NFC tag is set on the washing machine is taken as an example for description.
[0021] To solve the problem of complex operation steps of existing washing machines, the control method of the smart home appliance system of the present application includes the following steps:
[0022] Step S100: When the NFC tag is triggered, the server obtains user behavior information.
[0023] When a smart phone with NFC function touches the NFC tag, it indicates that the user hopes to use the washing machine. At this time, the smart phone reads the data of the NFC tag, and the background service program of the smart phone parses the NFC tag data. The smart phone uploads the NFC tag data and user information to the server. According to the MAC address of the washing machine in the NFC tag data, the server establishes a data channel between the washing machine and the smart phone through the Internet of Things module. In this case, the server can monitor that the NFC tag is triggered through the smart phone, and at this time, the server obtains the user's behavior information. For example, when a smart phone with NFC function touches the NFC tag induction area of the washing machine with the corresponding APP downloaded after the task has been written, the server will monitor that the NFC tag is triggered.
[0024] As a possible implementation, the server first obtains the user type and then obtains the user behavior information. Specifically, the user can obtain the user type through the smartphone APP. Each user type has a corresponding laundry scenario mode, and both the user type and the laundry scenario mode can be set by the user on the smartphone APP according to their own situation. As a preferred implementation, the user types include "regular users" and "irregular users". Of course, the user types can also be set as "office workers" and "freelancers", etc. If the user type is a regular user, the behavior information obtained by the server is: sports data information and / or the usage information of smart home devices. If the user type is an irregular user, the behavior information obtained by the server is: the usage information of smart home devices.
[0025] Step S200: The server determines the user's behavior intention based on the user behavior information.
[0026] As a possible implementation, the user's behavior intentions include "going out", "returning", and "staying at home". In addition, the above-mentioned smart home devices are home devices that can judge the user's behavior intentions ("going out", "returning", and "staying at home"). For example, it can be a smart shoe cabinet for storing and retrieving shoes, a smart clothing care cabinet for storing and retrieving clothes, or a smart door lock, etc. The user can flexibly set them on the mobile APP according to the home devices owned by their own family, as long as they are related to the user's behavior intentions.
[0027] Here, an example of an irregular user is used for introduction. Specifically, when the NFC tag is triggered and the user type is an irregular user, the server obtains the usage information of the smart home device, and the server determines whether the user's behavior intention is "going out", "staying at home", or "returning" based on the usage information of the smart home.
[0028] Furthermore, the smart home is illustrated by taking the clothing care cabinet, the smart shoe cabinet, and the smart door lock as examples. The clothing care cabinet is usually used to store 3 - 5 pieces of daily-worn clothes that do not need to be washed currently, for dehumidification, disinfection and sterilization, dust removal, odor removal, and shaping. Therefore, when the user's behavior information is taking clothes out of the clothing care cabinet, it can be judged that the user's behavior intention is "going out". When the user's behavior information is putting clothes into the clothing care cabinet, it can be judged that the user's behavior intention is "returning". The smart shoe cabinet can usually store 4 - 8 pairs of daily-worn shoes, for dehumidification, disinfection and sterilization, odor removal, etc. Therefore, when the user's behavior information is taking shoes out of the smart shoe cabinet, it can be judged that the user's behavior intention is "going out". When the user's behavior information is putting shoes into the smart shoe cabinet, it can be judged that the user's behavior intention is "returning".
[0029] In addition, when the behavior information of the user is to open the intelligent door lock from the outside, it can be determined that the user's behavior intention is "returning". It should be noted that opening the intelligent door lock from the outside usually requires unlocking by means of password, fingerprint, card or face, etc., while opening from the inside only requires pressing the handle or pressing or touching the trigger switch. Therefore, its opening methods inside and outside can be easily identified and judged. In addition, the clothes care cabinet can monitor the taking out and putting in of clothes, and its monitoring methods include various forms. For example, it can judge the access of clothes by monitoring whether the weight of the clothes increases or decreases through a weight sensor, or directly judge the access of clothes through a camera, etc. Similarly, the intelligent shoe cabinet can also monitor the taking out and putting in of shoes through a weight sensor and a camera. Thus, the server can judge the user's behavior intention according to the monitoring situations of the clothes care cabinet, the intelligent shoe cabinet and the intelligent door lock.
[0030] As a preferred implementation manner, in order to ensure the accuracy of the server's judgment of the user's behavior intention, when shoes are put into the intelligent shoe cabinet and at the same time clothes are put into the clothes care cabinet, it is determined that the user's behavior intention is "returning", and when shoes are taken out of the intelligent shoe cabinet and at the same time clothes are taken out of the clothes care cabinet, it is determined that the user's behavior intention is "going out".
[0031] Among them, the time when the server monitors that the clothes care cabinet accesses clothes and the intelligent shoe cabinet accesses shoes and is opened should be within a preset time period before the NFC tag is triggered, or within a preset time period after the NFC tag is triggered. The time when the intelligent door lock is opened from the outside should be within a preset time period before the NFC tag is triggered, so as to more accurately judge the user's behavior intention and prevent misjudgment. For example, when the user wants to go out, first triggers the NFC tag, and then opens the shoe cabinet to put on shoes, then the preset time period is after the NFC tag is triggered; if the user first opens the shoe cabinet to put on shoes and then triggers the NFC tag, then the preset time period is before the NFC tag is triggered. Among them, the preset time period can be set on the mobile APP according to the specific layout position of the smart home devices in the user's home. For example, if the intelligent shoe cabinet is relatively close to the washing machine, the preset time period can be set shorter.
[0032] The behavior of irregular users is relatively free. Usually, they are freelancers and their behavior does not have a specific time pattern. By judging the user's intention through smart home, it is not restricted by the time of the user's irregular behavior, and the user's intention can be accurately judged. Thus, it is possible to determine the running function of the washing machine based on the user's intention by touching the NFC tag, without complicated operation settings, saving the user's time.
[0033] The following takes regular users as an example for introduction. Specifically, when the user type is a regular user, the server obtains the user's motion data information and / or the usage information of smart home devices. Based on the user's motion data information and / or the usage information of smart home devices, the server determines whether the user's behavior intention is "going out", "staying at home", or "returning". The user's motion data information can be obtained through the acceleration sensor of the user's mobile phone. Of course, it can also be obtained by transmitting the data from a smart watch or smart bracelet paired with the mobile phone to the smart phone. Specifically, the user can add existing relevant smart hardware on the mobile phone APP.
[0034] As a possible implementation manner, when the time when the NFC tag is triggered is a non-working day, and when the number of walking steps within the time period from the time when the NFC tag is triggered to the first preset time before being triggered is ≥ the preset number of steps, the behavior intention is determined to be "returning". That is, a relatively long period of walking is monitored within the time period from the time when the NFC tag is triggered to the first preset time before being triggered. Usually, it is the walking before the user goes home. For example, it takes a long journey to walk home from the bus stop. In this case, the server can determine that the user's behavior intention is "returning".
[0035] As a possible implementation manner, when the time when the NFC tag is triggered is a non-working day, and when the walking speed within the time period from the time when the NFC tag is triggered to the second preset time is ≥ the preset walking speed, the behavior intention is determined to be "going out". That is, the user's walking speed is monitored to be accelerating within the time period from the time when the NFC tag is triggered to the second preset time. In this case, it is usually a purposeful going out, and the purposeful going out is much faster than the natural walking speed at home. For example, before going out, the user needs to do some preparatory work, such as taking out the items needed to go out, dressing, or putting on shoes. In order to go out as soon as possible, the user needs to speed up to complete the preparatory work before going out. In this case, the server can determine that the user's behavior intention is "going out". Among them, the above-mentioned second preset time can be the time before the NFC tag is triggered, or the time after the NFC tag is triggered. For example, the user first triggers the NFC tag and then makes preparations before going out, or first makes preparations before going out and then triggers the NFC tag.
[0036] As a possible implementation, when the time when the NFC tag is triggered is a non-working day, and the time from when the NFC tag is triggered to the third preset time ≤ the continuous walking time, the behavior intention is determined to be "staying at home". That is, when continuous walking is detected within the time from when the NFC tag is triggered to the third preset time. For example, the user walks from the sofa or bed to the washing machine. At this time, the walking speed is slower and the walking time is significantly shorter than the walking time before going out. Or, when suddenly needing to do laundry at home, such as being urged to do laundry during a ball game, although the walking speed is faster, the walking time is significantly shorter than the walking time before going out. Therefore, it can be distinguished from the user's intention of "going out". In this case, the server can determine the user's behavior intention as "staying at home".
[0037] Since the distance when the user goes out and returns home is usually long. For example, from the bus stop to the user's home. Even if the user walks at a faster speed before returning home, the preparation time before going out is significantly less than the walking time when going out and returning home. Therefore, usually, the correct distinction of the user's behavior intention between going out and returning can be made. At this time, the first preset time > the second preset time. In addition, from the above analysis, it can be seen that the second preset time > the third preset time. Therefore, usually, the user's behavior intention in the above three cases can be clearly distinguished. Further, the above first preset time, second preset time, and third preset time can be defined on the mobile APP according to the placement position of the washing machine in the user's home and the different home layouts.
[0038] As a possible implementation, when the time when the NFC tag is triggered is a non-working day, and when the time from when the smart door lock is opened from the outside to when the NFC tag is triggered ≤ the fourth preset time, the behavior intention is determined to be "returning". Among them, the fourth preset time can be set on the mobile APP according to the placement position of the washing machine with an NFC tag in the user's home and the position of the entrance door. For example, if the washing machine in the user's home is relatively close to the entrance door, the fourth preset time can be set shorter. When it is detected that the NFC sensing area of the washing machine is triggered within a very short time after the smart door lock is opened from the outside, it indicates that the user's behavior intention is "returning". Further, the user identity can be determined according to the smart door lock. For example, different user identities use different passwords or fingerprints to open the smart door lock, and then the user's behavior intention is judged according to the user identity to prevent misjudgment. It should be noted that since the fourth preset time is related to the time when the smart door lock is opened from the outside, it can be accurately distinguished from the first preset time, second preset time, and third preset time, and the user's behavior intention can be accurately judged.
[0039] In addition, when the time when the NFC tag is triggered is within a preset time period before going to work on a working day, the behavior intention is determined to be "travel". When the time when the NFC tag is triggered is within a preset time period after getting off work on a working day, the behavior intention is determined to be "return trip". For example, when the time when the NFC tag is triggered is between 6:50 and 8:50 in the morning (the time before going to work on a working day), the behavior intention of the user is determined to be "travel". When the time when the NFC tag is triggered is between 17:30 and 19:30 in the afternoon (the time after getting off work on a working day), the behavior intention of the user is determined to be "return trip". Among them, the above-mentioned preset time period before going to work and the preset time period after getting off work can be set on the mobile APP according to the user's working hours.
[0040] It should be noted that the above-mentioned working days and non-working days can be updated online, that is, the working days are not fixed as Monday to Friday, and the non-working days are not fixed as Saturday and Sunday; for example, during the National Day holiday, although the National Day holiday includes some days from Monday to Friday, it is not the working day described in the present invention. Correspondingly, the shift time on Saturday and Sunday is not the non-working day described in the present invention.
[0041] Step S300: The server determines the operating function of the clothing treatment device based on the user's behavior intention.
[0042] Step S400: The server sends an instruction to start the operating function to the clothing treatment device.
[0043] Step S500: The clothing treatment device receives the instruction to start the operating function.
[0044] Step S600: The clothing treatment device enables the operating function.
[0045] As a possible implementation, the operating functions of the washing machine include a reserved washing function and an immediate washing function. It should be noted that the reserved washing function of the present invention covers a delayed standby function, that is: when the washing machine starts the reserved washing function, the washing machine starts to delay standby, and then the user sets the reservation time according to the expected return time, or the washing machine automatically sets the reservation time according to the default program; it should be noted that the safety logic of the washing machine is set to automatically shut down after 2 minutes when the washing machine is in an idle state (not receiving data from the server or the washing machine), and when the delayed standby is started, the washing machine shuts down after reaching the set time of the delayed standby. During the time when the washing machine is in the delayed standby state, the washing machine starts and runs the washing function according to the washing completion time of the reserved washing; in addition, the immediate washing function means that when the washing machine starts the immediate washing function, the washing machine directly enters the washing program. Specifically, when the user's behavior intention is "returning" or "staying at home", the operating function of the washing machine is determined to be the immediate washing function, and when the user's behavior intention is "going out", the operating function of the washing machine is determined to be the reserved washing function.
[0046] When the NFC tag is triggered, when the user's behavior intention is "staying at home", the user does not intend to go out, and at home, the user can perform relevant operations on the washing machine, such as drying clothes, etc., so there is no need to perform reserved washing of the washing machine. The server can judge that the user uses the washing machine to wash clothes immediately. In this case, the washing machine starts the immediate washing function; when the user's behavior intention is "going out", the user intends to go out. At this time, the user cannot perform relevant operations on the washing machine at home. The server can judge that the user uses the washing machine for reserved washing at this time. In this case, the washing machine starts the reserved washing function; when the user's behavior intention is "returning", that is, the user has just returned home from the outside. For example, just got off work and returned home. Usually, the user will not go out in a short time. The server can judge that the user uses the washing machine to wash clothes immediately. In this case, the washing machine enables the immediate washing function.
[0047] The advantages of the above control method are as follows: it enables the young generation who are racing against time to use the washing machine more conveniently and quickly. By touching the NFC sensing area of the washing machine with a mobile phone, the running function of the washing machine can be judged based on the user's behavioral intention, increasing the intelligence of the washing machine and saving the user's time. When the user's behavioral intention is "going out", the washing machine runs the scheduled washing function. In this case, when the user gets home, the clothes can be just washed and can be dried in time, without being bothered by the noise of the washing machine, and the odor caused by the long-term accumulation of clothes in the sealed environment of the washing machine can also be avoided; when the user's behavioral intention is "returning" or "staying at home", touching the NFC sensing area of the washing machine, the washing machine can select the default program and run immediately, so that the user can do other housework during the laundry process. After finishing the housework and the clothes are washed, it does not delay drying; or when the user is in a hurry (such as watching a ball game), it can greatly save the user's time. In addition, the immediate wash function and the scheduled washing function are two scenarios, and it is not convenient to set the actions of the two scenarios in one NFC tag. If two tags are set, one is to increase the cost, the other is to be easily confused, and the sense of technology is also reduced. The present invention can judge two action scenarios by triggering one NFC tag, thus solving the above problems.
[0048] As a possible situation, when the user has an underground parking space at home, after the user drives to the underground parking space and walks home, there is no need to walk a long distance. Therefore, the first preset time may be less than the second preset time. In addition, although usually the second preset time is greater than the third preset time, it is not excluded that the third preset time is less than the second preset time. Therefore, in order to avoid the server from making a wrong judgment, which may lead to complex operations. For example, if the user's behavioral intention is "going out" and the server misjudges it as "staying at home" or "returning", and the washing machine starts the immediate wash function. In this case, the program needs to be paused and restarted, which will cause great inconvenience to the user. Therefore, when the time difference between any two of the first preset time, the second preset time, and the third preset time ≤ the time differentiation threshold, when the NFC tag is triggered, the server determines that the running function of the washing machine is the scheduled washing function. The advantage of this setting method is that if the gap between the first preset time, the second preset time, and the third preset time is not large and the server cannot distinguish them, the running function of the washing machine is the scheduled washing function. In this case, even if the immediate wash function needs to be turned on, the user only needs to operate one more step, and the inconvenience caused to the user is small. However, if the immediate wash function is run and the program needs to be paused and restarted, the inconvenience caused to the user is large.
[0049] In addition, the delayed standby of the washing machine of the present invention means that the washing machine does not shut down within a preset time period. For example, if the preset time period is 8 hours, the washing machine will not shut down within 8 hours. At the same time, the washing machine is locked and can be remotely controlled through the mobile phone APP during the delayed standby process of the washing machine, so as to perform the reservation washing operation, or automatically execute the reservation washing function. In the existing washing machine operation logic, long-term standby is usually not allowed because, in addition to generating extra power consumption, long-term standby of the washing machine will also cause the aging of electronic components. The more aged the electronic components are, the more serious the heat generation is. The fire risk of a washing machine in long-term standby is dozens of times that of a washing machine that shuts down immediately after washing. In addition, a washing machine is an electrical appliance with a service life much shorter than its idle period in its life cycle, so long-term standby is also unreasonable. Therefore, the present invention adopts a scheme in which the washing machine shuts down after extending the preset time, which has a higher safety factor than a washing machine in all-day standby. In addition, it can also improve the service life of the washing machine.
[0050] In summary, when the user uses the mobile phone APP for the first time, they need to first select their user type, add existing relevant smart hardware, and define the lengths of the first preset time to the fourth preset time. Whenever the NFC touch area of the washing machine is triggered by the mobile phone, the APP can optimize and judge the user's behavioral intention according to the user's situation, and then trigger different scenario modes of the immediate washing function or the reservation washing function. In the case where the scenario mode cannot be accurately judged, the running function is the reservation washing mode, allowing the washing machine to be in delayed standby. At this time, even if the user wants to wash immediately, they only need to press the operation button of the washing machine one more time, without complicated operations. If the user is an office worker with a regular schedule and has the habit of always carrying a mobile phone, wearing a smart watch or bracelet, and considering the layout of the rooms in the home and the placement position of the washing machine, when the mobile phone touches the NFC sensing area of the washing machine, by matching the motion data and time received by the mobile phone, and the smart door lock, the user's behavioral intention of "going out", "returning" or "staying at home" can be accurately judged, and then it can be determined whether the user wants to reserve washing or wash directly, so as to trigger different scenario modes. If the user is a freelancer with an irregular work schedule, and there are a smart shoe cabinet, a clothes care cabinet and a smart door lock at home, when the mobile phone touches the NFC sensing area of the washing machine, the external open state of the smart door lock and the states of accessing and storing clothes in the smart shoe cabinet and the clothes care cabinet can be used to distinguish the user's behavioral intention of "going out" or "returning", and then it can be determined whether the user wants to reserve washing or wash directly, so as to trigger different scenario modes. Among them, the above-mentioned smart door lock can even distinguish user roles (different users use different passwords and fingerprints), so as to ensure the accuracy of the server's judgment of the scenario mode.
[0051] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.
[0052] In addition, the present invention also provides an intelligent household appliance, which includes a processor and a memory. The memory is adapted to store multiple program codes, and the program codes are adapted to be loaded and run by the processor to execute the intelligent household appliance control method described in any of the above embodiments.
[0053] In addition, the present invention also provides a server, which is the server described in any of the above embodiments.
[0054] Finally, it should be noted that although the present invention is described by taking a washing machine as an example, the laundry treatment device of the present invention can obviously also be applied to other washing devices. For example, the laundry treatment device can also be applied to a sock washing machine, a shoe washing machine, etc.
