[0082] The implementation manner of the water intake system of the water dispenser of the present invention is basically the same as that of each embodiment of the following water intake method of the water dispenser, and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] The present invention provides a method for fetching water from a water dispenser. Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the method for fetching water from the water dispenser according to the present invention.

[0084] The embodiments of the present invention provide an embodiment of the method for fetching water from a water dispenser. It should be noted that although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than here. Specifically, the method for fetching water from the water dispenser in this embodiment includes:

[0085] Step S10, when a water fetching request is received, obtain the user age information corresponding to the water fetching request and the drinking place information of the water dispenser corresponding to the water fetching request;

[0086] The method for fetching water from the water dispenser in this embodiment can be applied to the water dispenser itself or to the server in a system formed by multiple water dispensers. In this embodiment, the server is preferably taken as an example for illustration. Specifically, the server is communicatively connected to each water dispenser to form the water dispenser fetching water system as described above. Once the server receives a water fetching request triggered by any one of the water dispensers, it obtains the user age information corresponding to the water fetching request. Among them, the user installs an application software for fetching water in a terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet computer, and registers a user account on the application software for fetching water from the water dispenser. A two-dimensional code is set on the water dispenser, and the user triggers the water fetching request by scanning the two-dimensional code with the application software. After the server receives the water fetching request, it obtains the account information carried in the water fetching request. The account information is the user account information registered on the application software and contains the age data of the user. The age data is identified from the account information as the user age information corresponding to the water fetching request.

[0087] In addition, if the age data is not included in the account information, the server sends a request for obtaining age information to the terminal. And the request can be displayed on the terminal interface in the form of an input box or exist in the form of obtaining the camera permission. For the input box form, the server receives the number input by the user in the input box and takes the number as the user age information. For the camera permission form, the server receives the uploaded identity certificate picture information or face image information through the camera. The user age information is determined by identifying the identity certificate picture or face image information.

[0088] Meanwhile, the server also obtains the drinking water dispenser location information corresponding to the drinking water request. The drinking water location information is the location where the drinking water dispenser is located, including outdoor locations such as sports fields and indoor locations such as homes and offices, which is used to reflect the scenario where users fetch water. The location identifier can be set in the drinking water dispenser in advance according to the location where the drinking water dispenser is located. When the terminal scans the QR code set on the drinking water dispenser to trigger a water fetching request, the location identifier in the drinking water dispenser is added to the water fetching request. By identifying the location identifier carried in the water fetching request, the server can determine the drinking water location information, so as to determine the type of drinking water to be recommended to the user according to the drinking water requirements of different age groups characterized by the user age information and the drinking water requirements of people in different scenarios.

[0089] Step S20: Determine the recommended drinking water type according to the user age information and the drinking water location information;

[0090] Furthermore, boundary data for various age stages are set in advance. For example, it is set that the age between 4 and 15 years old is young, the age between 16 and 49 years old is young, and the age after 50 years old is old. For the obtained user age information, the age data therein are respectively compared with the preset boundary data to determine the data range into which the age data falls, and the age stage where the user is located is reflected by the data range. The combination of the user age information and the drinking water location information reflects the water fetching requirements of each user. For example, for an elderly user in an indoor environment, their water fetching requirement is usually warm water, while for a young user in an indoor environment, their water fetching requirement needs to be inferred according to the indoor environment temperature. Thus, the recommended drinking water type to be recommended to the user can be determined through the water fetching requirements of the user reflected by the user age information and the drinking water location information. Specifically, the step of determining the recommended drinking water type according to the user age information and the drinking water location information includes:

[0091] Step S21: If the user age information is old information or young information, then determine the recommended drinking water type as the preset warm water type;

[0092] Furthermore, if the age of the user reflected by the user age information is in the young stage or in the old stage, then the user age information is regarded as young information or old information. For such users, in order to avoid irritating the user's stomach, the recommended drinking water type is directly determined as the preset warm water type.

[0093] In addition, considering the differences in living habits and self-care abilities between young users and old users, the determined recommended drinking water type can be further subdivided according to the two. Specifically, the step of if the user age information is old information or young information, then determine the recommended drinking water type as the preset warm water type includes:

[0094] Step S211, if the user age information is elderly information, then detect whether there is a brewing material in the water container on the water dispenser. If there is a brewing material, determine the recommended drinking water type as the preset hot water type;

[0095] Step S212, if there is no brewing material in the water container, determine the recommended drinking water type as the preset warm water type;

[0096] Step S213, if the user age information is young information, determine the recommended drinking water type as the preset warm water type, and add a protection mark to the recommended drinking water type to mark that the recommended drinking water type is a protected type.

[0097] Furthermore, if it is determined that the user age information is elderly information, continue to detect whether there is a brewing material in the water container placed on the water dispenser, such as tea leaves or tea bags. And the detection can be determined by installing a camera device on the water dispenser to take an image of the inside of the water container and transmit it to the server for recognition. If it is recognized that there is a brewing material, determine the recommended drinking water type as the preset hot water type, so as to control the water dispenser to dispense hot water to brew the brewing material. Among them, the hot water is preferably boiling water with a temperature reaching 100°. If it is recognized that there is no brewing material in the water container, determine the recommended drinking water type as the preset warm water type, so as to control the water dispenser to dispense warm water for the user to drink.

[0098] Even further, if it is determined that the user age information is young information, while determining the recommended drinking water type as the preset warm water type to facilitate the water dispenser to dispense warm water for the user to drink, a protection mark is also added to the determined recommended drinking water type, and the protection mark reflects that the recommended drinking water type belongs to the protected type. Among them, the recommended drinking water type is the drinking water type suitable for the user. Adding a protection mark to the recommended drinking water type actually reflects the protection of the user. The user can only take the drinking water with the corresponding risk level or a lower risk level of the protection mark, and cannot take the drinking water with a higher risk level. If the water temperature reflects the risk level, the user can only take the drinking water below a certain temperature and cannot take the drinking water with a temperature higher than a certain temperature to prevent scalding due to the user's young age and inability to operate the water dispenser correctly.

[0099] Step S22, if the user age information is young information and the drinking place information is sports place information, determine the recommended drinking water type as the preset warm water type;

[0100] Step S23, if the user age information is young information and the drinking place information is static place information, obtain the place temperature corresponding to the static place information, and determine the recommended drinking water type according to the place temperature.

[0101] Further, if the user's age reflected by the user age information is in the young stage, the user age information is taken as young information. For such users, the recommended drinking water type needs to be determined in combination with the drinking water place information. Specifically, if the drinking water place information is determined to be sports place information through the place identifier, such as an outdoor football field or an indoor basketball court; considering that it is not suitable for sports people to drink cold water, the recommended drinking water type is determined to be the preset warm water type. If the drinking water place information is determined to be static place information through the place identifier, such as an office or a residential room, etc.; then the recommended drinking water type is determined in combination with the place temperature corresponding to the static place information.

[0102] Among them, the place temperature corresponding to the static place information is the temperature value of the place represented by the static place information. Such as the room temperature value of an office or the room temperature value of a residential room, etc. The temperature value is obtained as the place temperature corresponding to the static place information, and it is judged whether the place temperature is too low or too high through the preset low temperature value and the preset high temperature value. If it is determined through comparison that the place temperature is less than the preset low temperature value, it is determined that the place temperature is too low; if the place temperature is greater than the preset high temperature value, it is determined that the place temperature is too high. For the too low place temperature, the recommended drinking water type is determined to be the preset warm water type to output warm water to prevent the user from drinking cold water in a low temperature environment; for the too high place temperature, the recommended drinking water type is determined to be the preset cold water type to output cold water for the user to drink to facilitate the user to cool down.

[0103] Step S30, control the water dispenser to make water according to whether the recommended drinking water type is the protection type and whether a water type selection instruction is received, and after the water making is completed, control the water dispenser to discharge water.

[0104] Further, after the recommended drinking water type is determined, the user may have the need to independently select the drinking water type. In this embodiment, the instruction for the user to select the drinking water type is taken as the water type selection instruction, and the water dispenser is controlled to discharge water according to whether the water type selection instruction is received. In addition, considering that for young users, if they select hot water with a relatively high temperature, they may be scalded during the water fetching process. Therefore, in order to protect young users, the drinking water type is restricted to certain specific types, such as only allowing a water type selection instruction to be initiated for drinking water below a certain temperature. When controlling the water dispenser to discharge water according to whether the water type selection instruction is received, it is necessary to consider whether the user type is the protection type.

[0105] As described above, the user's protection type is reflected by the protection mark added to the recommended drinking water type. If a protection mark is added to the recommended drinking water type, the user type is a protection type; if a protection mark is not added to the recommended drinking water type, the user type is a non-protection type. Considering whether the user type is a protection type, the water dispenser is controlled to make water according to whether the recommended drinking water type is a protection type and whether a water type selection instruction is received, and after the water production is completed, the water dispenser is controlled to output water. Among them, the process of the water dispenser making water is to control the water dispenser to take water that meets the requirements of the water type selection instruction and / or water that meets the requirements of the recommended drinking water type; such as raising the water temperature to a certain temperature or lowering the water temperature to a certain temperature. After the water that meets the requirements is produced, the water dispenser is controlled to output water, that is, the produced water is output for the user to drink.

[0106] It should be noted that before and after the water dispenser dispenses water, an image of the water outlet of the water dispenser is captured by a camera installed on the water dispenser and transmitted to the server, which identifies whether a water container is placed at the water outlet. If it is identified that there is no water container before the water dispenser dispenses water, the water dispenser dispenses water, and if it is identified that there is no water container after the water dispenser dispenses water, the water dispenser is controlled to stop discharging water to avoid wasting water resources. Moreover, after the water dispenser dispenses water, it is also possible to identify through images whether the water in the water container is about to overflow. If it is about to overflow, the water dispenser is also controlled to stop discharging water to avoid wasting water resources.

[0107] The water extraction method of the water dispenser of the present invention is to set a QR code, or a biometric information collection device such as a face or fingerprint on the water dispenser, and trigger a water extraction request by scanning the QR code or collecting biometric information. Once the water extraction request is received, the user age information corresponding to the water extraction request and the drinking place information of the corresponding water dispenser are obtained; wherein the user age information can be obtained based on the user account that initiates the water extraction request, which reflects the type of user population; the drinking place information can be obtained based on the location of the water dispenser, which reflects the water extraction scene. Thereafter, the drinking water type recommended to the user who initiated the water extraction request is determined in combination with the user population type reflected by the user age information and the water extraction scene reflected by the drinking place information. The water temperature of the recommended drinking water type is adapted to the user population and the water extraction scene, and the drinking water of the appropriate temperature can be determined without manual operation; at the same time, considering the actual needs of the user, combined with factors such as whether the recommended drinking water type is a protection type and whether the water type selection instruction is received, the water dispenser is controlled to make and discharge water. In this way, while distinguishing different user groups and scenarios to control the water dispenser to automatically supply drinking water with appropriate temperature, the safety of the user group is also taken into consideration in combination with the user's actual needs, thereby improving the automation and intelligence level of water extraction from the water dispenser.

[0108] For further information, please refer to Figure 3 Based on the first embodiment of the water-drawing method for a water dispenser of the present invention, a second embodiment of the water-drawing method for a water dispenser of the present invention is proposed.

[0109] The difference between the second embodiment of the water dispenser water extraction method and the first embodiment of the water dispenser water extraction method is that the step of obtaining the user age information corresponding to the water extraction request and the drinking place information of the water dispenser corresponding to the water extraction request includes:

[0110] Step S40, reading the verification information corresponding to the water extraction request, and identifying the information type of the verification information;

[0111] Step S50, if the information type is an account and password type, verify the account information and password information contained in the verification information, and after the verification is passed, execute the step of obtaining the user age information corresponding to the water extraction request;

[0112] Step S60, if the information type is a biometric information type, verify the biometric information contained in the verification information, and after the verification is passed, execute the step of obtaining the user age information corresponding to the water extraction request, wherein the biometric information is face information, fingerprint information, voiceprint information or iris information.

[0113] This embodiment verifies the user account that initiates the water extraction request before obtaining the user age information corresponding to the water extraction request. Specifically, the verification information corresponding to the water extraction request is obtained, and the verification information is account information, which can be an account password or biometric information. In addition, the verification methods between the account password and the biometric information are different, and the two are used as two types of verification information. After the verification information is obtained, the information type is identified according to the existence form of the verification information.

[0114] Furthermore, if the identified information type is an account and password type, the account information and password information contained in the verification information are verified. Verify whether the two match. If they match, the verification is determined to be successful. If they do not match, the verification is determined to be unsuccessful. If the verification is successful, the user age information corresponding to the water extraction request can be obtained to determine the recommended drinking water type. If the verification fails, a prompt message is output, prompting that there is an error in the account information and / or password information that needs to be corrected, or prompting to verify in other ways.

[0115] Further, if it is determined that the information type is a biological information type, the biological information included in the verification information is verified. The biological information is compared with the biological information bound to the user account to verify whether the two match. If they match, the verification is determined to be passed; if they do not match, the verification is determined to be failed. For a passed verification, the user age information corresponding to the water intake request can be obtained to determine the recommended drinking water type. For a failed verification, a prompt message is output, prompting to re-collect the biological information as the verification information to initiate a water intake request for re-verification based on the new verification information. Among them, the biological information includes but is not limited to face information, fingerprint information, voiceprint information or iris information.

[0116] Understandably, different users have different drinking water needs. To facilitate users to obtain water, the information reflecting the users' drinking water needs can be bound to the user account in advance. Specifically, before the steps of obtaining the user age information corresponding to the water intake request and the drinking water place information of the water dispenser corresponding to the water intake request, the following steps are included:

[0117] Step S70, after the account information and password information are verified to be passed, or the biological information is verified to be passed, determine whether there is a preset drinking water type corresponding to the account information or the biological information;

[0118] Step S80, if there is the preset drinking water type, control the water dispenser to produce water based on the preset drinking water type, and after the water production is completed, control the water dispenser to discharge water;

[0119] Step S90, if there is no such preset drinking water type, execute the step of obtaining the user age information corresponding to the water intake request.

[0120] Further, after the account information and password information are verified to be passed, or the biological information is verified to be passed, continue to determine whether the account information is bound with information reflecting the required drinking water type, or determine whether the biological information is bound with information reflecting the required drinking water type. Through this determination, it is determined whether there is a preset drinking water type corresponding to the account information or the biological information. If it is bound with information reflecting the required drinking water type, it can be determined that there is a preset drinking water type corresponding to the account information or the biological information; otherwise, there is no preset drinking water type corresponding to the account information or the biological information.

[0121] Further, if there is a preset drinking water type corresponding to the account information or biometric information, it indicates that the user has preset the drinking water type they need. In this case, there is no need to recommend a drinking water type. Instead, the drinking water mechanism can be directly controlled according to the preset drinking water type to produce water, and the water dispenser can be controlled after the water production is completed to meet the user's demand for the drinking water type. Conversely, if there is no preset drinking water type corresponding to the account information or biometric information, the user's age information and drinking place information corresponding to the water intake information are obtained to determine the recommended drinking water type based on the two, and the most suitable drinking water type is recommended to the user.

[0122] In this embodiment, the user account is verified by account password or biometric information, realizing the flexibility and diversity of verification and facilitating the user's verification operation. At the same time, the drinking water type required by the user can be pre-added and bound to the account information or biometric information, and the drinking water mechanism can be directly controlled to produce water and discharge water according to the bound preset drinking water type, which is beneficial to quickly discharging water and ensuring that the discharged water type meets the user's needs.

[0123] Further, please refer to Figure 4 , based on the first or second embodiment of the water intake method of the water dispenser of the present invention, the third embodiment of the water intake method of the water dispenser of the present invention is proposed.

[0124] The difference between the third embodiment of the water intake method of the water dispenser and the first or second embodiment of the water intake method of the water dispenser is that the step of controlling the water production of the water dispenser according to whether the recommended drinking water type is a protection type and whether a water type selection instruction is received includes:

[0125] Step S31, if the recommended drinking water type is a protection type and a water type selection instruction is received, it is determined whether the selection information corresponding to the water type selection instruction matches the preset security information. If it matches the preset security information, the water dispenser is controlled to produce water according to the selection information.

[0126] Step S32, if the recommended drinking water type is a protection type and no water type selection instruction is received, or the selection information in the received water type selection instruction does not match the preset security information, the water dispenser is controlled to produce water in a preset protection mode.

[0127] Step S33, if the recommended drinking water type is not a protection type and no water type selection instruction is received, the water dispenser is controlled to produce water in a water production mode corresponding to the recommended drinking water type.

[0128] Step S34, if the recommended drinking water type is not a protection type and a water type selection instruction is received, the water dispenser is controlled to produce water according to the selection information corresponding to the water type selection instruction.

[0129] This embodiment controls the water dispenser to produce water by combining whether the recommended drinking water type is a protected type and whether a water type selection instruction is received. Specifically, if the determined recommended drinking water type is a protected type and a water type selection instruction is received, it is determined whether the selection information issued by the water type selection instruction matches the preset safety information. The preset safety information is the information preset for limiting the settings supported by the protected type of people. If it is determined that the selection information matches the preset safety information, it means that the drinking water type selected by the user is a safe type, so the water dispenser is controlled to produce water according to the selection information. For example, if the drinking water temperature corresponding to the preset safety information is 60°, and the selection information is 50°, it is determined that the two match. On the contrary, if the selection information is 70°, it is determined that the selection information does not match the preset safety information, and there is a possibility of scalding the user due to improper operation. At this time, the water dispenser is controlled to produce water in the preset protection mode. The preset protection mode is a mode preset for users of the protected type, and its water outlet temperature is relatively low. Even if the user does not place a water container or the position of the water container is not placed accurately, the user will not be scalded, thus avoiding harm to the user.

[0130] Furthermore, if the determined recommended drinking water type is a protected type but no water type selection instruction is received, that is, the user does not actively select the drinking water type. At this time, only consider the factors of the protected type to avoid the problem of scalding the user with water at too high a temperature or affecting the user's stomach with water at too low a temperature. Therefore, the water dispenser is also controlled to produce water in the preset protection mode suitable for users of the protected type and then discharge the water.

[0131] Even further, if the determined recommended drinking water type is not a protected type and no water type selection instruction is received, the water dispenser is controlled to produce water in the water production mode corresponding to the recommended drinking water type. If the water temperature of the recommended drinking water type is lower than the current ambient temperature, it produces water in the refrigeration mode and completes the water production after reducing the water temperature to the water temperature of the recommended drinking water type. Since the recommended drinking water type is the type suitable for the user to drink determined according to the user's age and drinking scenario, controlling it in the corresponding water production mode can make the produced drinking water beneficial to the user's physical health.

[0132] Furthermore, if the determined recommended drinking water type is not a protected type but a water type selection instruction is received, it means that the user has a required drinking water type. At this time, the water dispenser is controlled to produce water according to the selection information corresponding to the water type selection instruction, so that the water discharged from the water dispenser meets the user's needs. The options supported by the water dispenser for selection at least include water temperature selection, water volume selection, and additive selection. The additives include sugar, baking soda, carbon dioxide, etc. After selecting the water temperature, water volume, and / or additive, a water type selection instruction is initiated, so that the selection information carried by the water type selection instruction includes any one of the water temperature selection information, water volume selection information, and additive selection information. The water dispenser is controlled to produce water according to this type of selection information to meet the user's needs for water temperature, water volume, and additives.

[0133] Understandably, if the user selects a certain water temperature, water volume, and additive for a long time, this selection information reflects the user's drinking habits. Such information can be set as the drinking type applicable to the user to avoid the user's every selection. Specifically, after the step of controlling the water dispenser to make water according to the selection information corresponding to the water type selection instruction, the following steps are included:

[0134] Step S35, if the selection information includes water temperature selection information, record the water temperature value in the water temperature selection information, and collect the ambient temperature value corresponding to the water temperature value to generate the corresponding relationship between the water temperature value and the ambient temperature value;

[0135] Step S36, if the selection information includes water volume selection information, record the water volume in the water volume selection information;

[0136] Step S37, if the selection information includes additive selection information, record the additive type in the additive selection information;

[0137] Step S38, generate a preset drinking type for storage according to the corresponding relationship, the water volume, and / or the additive type.

[0138] Furthermore, while controlling the water dispenser to make water according to the selection information corresponding to the water type selection instruction, it is judged whether the selection information includes water temperature selection information. If it includes water temperature selection information, record the water temperature value in the water temperature selection information; at the same time, collect the current ambient temperature value as the ambient temperature value corresponding to the water temperature value, and form a corresponding relationship between the water temperature value and the ambient temperature value, so as to reflect the water temperature required by the user under the current ambient temperature through the corresponding relationship. In addition, it is also judged whether the selection information includes water volume selection information. If it includes water volume selection information, record the water volume therein to reflect the water intake volume required by the user. And it is also judged whether the selection information includes additive selection information. If it includes, record the additive type in the additive selection information.

[0139] Even further, generate the recorded corresponding relationship, water volume, and / or additive type into a preset drinking type and bind it to the user account, and store it as a preset drinking type corresponding to the account information and the biological information, so as to control the water dispenser to make water and discharge water according to the preset drinking type reflecting the user's needs in the future. And in order to make the preset drinking type more accurately reflect the user's drinking needs, count the water temperature value, water volume, and / or additive type in the selection information of the user's multiple water intakes, and then form a corresponding relationship between each water temperature value and the ambient temperature value at that time.

[0140] Further, based on the relationship between the water temperature value and the ambient temperature value in each water intake correspondence, the water temperature value required by the user at each ambient temperature is inferred, and the water temperature value can be generated into a functional relationship with the ambient temperature value, so as to subsequently determine the water temperature type required at different ambient temperatures from this functional relationship. At the same time, the water volumes of multiple water intakes are generated into an average water volume as the water volume type required by the user. In addition, the types of additives for multiple recorded water intakes are statistically analyzed, and the additive type with the most addition times is determined as the additive type required by the user.

[0141] Further, the water temperature type, water volume type, and additive type are formed into a preset drinking water type and fed back to the user for confirmation. If the user confirms that it is correct, the preset drinking water type is bound to the user account and used as the drinking water type required by the user for subsequent use. If the user needs to modify the preset drinking water type, a modification instruction is initiated for the preset drinking water type, and after the modification is completed, it is bound to the user account and used as the drinking water type required by the user for subsequent water intake.

[0142] It should be noted that since the user water type selection instruction can select one, two, or all of the temperature, water volume, and additives, when generating the preset drinking water type, it is generated based on the selected information available and does not need to be generated on the premise that all information is available.

[0143] In this embodiment, whether the recommended drinking water type is a protection type and whether a water type selection instruction is received are combined to control the water production of the drinking machine. While being beneficial to protecting the user, it can also meet the user's drinking water needs to the greatest extent. Moreover, by recording and statistically analyzing the selected information in the water type selection instruction, a preset drinking water type reflecting the user's drinking water needs is generated, and subsequently, the water production and water output of the drinking machine are directly controlled based on the preset drinking water type, so that the water production and water output better meet the user's drinking water needs.

[0144] An embodiment of the present invention also proposes a readable storage medium. A control program is stored on the readable storage medium, and when the control program is executed by the processor, the steps of the above-mentioned water intake method of the drinking machine are implemented.

[0145] The readable storage medium of the present invention can be a computer-readable storage medium, and its specific implementation manner is basically the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiments of the water intake method of the drinking machine, and will not be elaborated here.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make many forms without departing from the spirit of the present invention and the scope protected by the claims. All equivalent structural or equivalent process transformations made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
