[0028] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B.

[0029] The term "correspondence" may refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, household appliances refer to household appliances that are formed by introducing microprocessors, sensor technology, and network communication technology into household appliances. They have the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception, and intelligent application. The operation process of household appliances often relies on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, household appliances can be connected to electronic devices to enable users to remotely control and manage smart household appliances.

[0031] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling a household appliance provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a home appliance, including:

[0032] S11, the target home appliance determines the target user in its collection area and the target control method of the target user.

[0033] S12, the target home appliance determines a control instruction for the target home appliance according to the target control mode.

[0034] S13, the target home appliance controls itself to execute the instruction operation corresponding to the control instruction.

[0035] In this solution, the target home appliance is the target device of the intended control. Here, the target home appliance may be a home appliance such as a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a washing machine or a television. In one example, the acquisition area of ​​the target home appliance may be the acquisition area of ​​an image acquisition module configured in the target home appliance. Here, the image acquisition module may be a camera. In another example, the acquisition area of ​​the target home appliance may be the room where the target home appliance is located. In an optimized solution, the acquisition area of ​​the target home appliance may also be pre-set. For example, the acquisition area of ​​the target home appliance may be set to the living room, or the acquisition area of ​​the target home appliance may be set to the kitchen. Specifically, the target user may be determined in the acquisition area of ​​the target home appliance. Among them, the control mode of the target home appliance may include multiple modes. For example, remote control, touch screen control, voice control, gesture control, etc. Further, after determining the target user, the control mode suitable for the target user may be determined as the target control mode among multiple control modes. With this solution, after accurately determining the target user, the target control mode suitable for the user may be determined to reduce the occurrence of situations where the target user is not adapted to the control mode.

[0036] In this solution, the target home appliance can determine the control instruction of the target home appliance according to the target control mode. For example, if the target control mode is remote control, the control instruction of the target home appliance can be the key value information received on the remote control device. If the target control mode is touch screen control, the control instruction of the target home appliance can be the pressing information received by the touch screen panel. If the target control mode is voice control, the control instruction of the target home appliance can be the voice information collected by the voice acquisition module of the home appliance. If the target control mode is gesture control, the control instruction of the target home appliance can be the gesture image information collected by the image acquisition module of the home appliance.

[0037] Furthermore, the target home appliance can be controlled to execute the command operation corresponding to the control command. In this solution, the correspondence between the control command and the command operation can be stored in the target home appliance in advance. Then, after determining the control command of the home appliance, the command operation corresponding to it can be determined, thereby achieving more accurate intelligent control of the target home appliance.

[0038] The method for controlling home appliances provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted. After determining the target control mode of the target user, the control instruction of the target home appliance is determined, so as to control the target home appliance to perform the corresponding instruction operation through the control instruction. With this scheme, after determining the control mode of the home appliance suitable for the target user, the situation where the target user is not adapted to the control mode is effectively reduced, and the target user is prevented from having resistance, so that the target user can realize intelligent control of the home appliance through a more suitable control mode.

[0039] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a control instruction provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 2 As shown, optionally, in S12, the target home appliance determines the control instruction of the target home appliance according to the target control mode, including:

[0040] S21, the target household appliance determines a command information collection method corresponding to a target control method.

[0041] S22, the target household appliance obtains the target command information collected according to the command information collection method.

[0042] S23, the target home appliance determines the control instruction associated with the target command information as the control instruction of the target home appliance.

[0043] In this solution, the correspondence between the control mode and the command information collection mode can be stored in the target home appliance in advance. For example, if the control mode is remote control, the command information collection mode can be to collect the key value information received on the remote control device. If the control mode is touch screen control, the command information collection mode can be to collect the pressing information received by the touch screen panel. If the control mode is voice control, the command information collection mode can be to collect the voice information around the target home appliance. If the control mode is gesture control, the command information collection mode can be to collect the gesture image information in the collection area of ​​the target home appliance. Further, according to the correspondence between the control mode and the command information collection mode, the command information collection mode corresponding to the target control mode can be determined. Then, the target command information can be collected according to the determined command information collection mode. In one example, the target command information can be collected by collecting the voice information around the target home appliance. In addition, in the target home appliance, the association relationship between the target command information and the control instruction can also be stored. For example, if the collected target command information is "please turn on the cooling mode of the air conditioner", the control instruction associated with it is determined to be the control instruction of "turn on the cooling mode". In this way, the control instructions of the target home appliance can be determined more accurately, and the interference of control information of other control methods can be effectively avoided, so that the target home appliance can execute the instruction operation according to the matched control instructions to meet the control needs of the target user's home appliance.

[0044] Optionally, there are multiple users within the collection area of ​​the target home appliance. S11, the target home appliance determines the target user within its collection area, including: the target home appliance obtains priorities of the multiple users; among the multiple users, the target home appliance determines the user with the highest priority as the target user within the collection area of ​​the target home appliance.

[0045] In this solution, priority information can be pre-stored in the target home appliance. In one example, the priority information of the target home appliance can be elderly>adults>youth>children. Specifically, when there are elderly people, adults, and children in the target home appliance collection area at the same time, the elderly with the highest priority can be determined as the target user in the target home appliance collection area. In addition, priority information can be set in the target home appliance in advance based on the different control needs of each family. For example, if there is a pregnant woman in the user's family, the pregnant woman can be determined as the target user with the highest priority. With this solution, priority information can be set in the home appliance in advance based on the situation of each family, and more accurate target users can be determined based on the priority information.

[0046] Optionally, the target home appliance obtains priorities of multiple users, including: the target home appliance obtains priorities of age groups to which the multiple users belong; or the target home appliance obtains priorities of identities of the multiple users.

[0047] In the present solution, age groups specifically refer to human groups divided by age. For example, age groups may include the elderly, adults, youth, children, and the like. Specifically, priority information of age groups may be pre-stored in home appliances. In one example, the priority information of age groups may be elderly>adults>youth>children. In addition, in the present solution, the identity of a user refers to the identity of the user in the family. For example, the identity of a user may be grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, son, daughter, and the like. Specifically, priority information of the identity of a user may be pre-stored in home appliances. In one example, the priority information of the identity of a user may be father>mother>grandmother>grandfather>daughter. In this way, priority information of multiple users can be effectively determined, providing an accurate data basis for determining target users.

[0048] Optionally, there are multiple users within the target home appliance collection area, S11, the target home appliance determines the target user within its collection area, including: the target home appliance obtains the historical frequency of use of the target home appliance by each user; the target home appliance determines the user with the highest historical frequency as the target user within the target home appliance collection area.

[0049] In this solution, the target home appliance can store the historical usage data of the user's home appliance. Here, the historical usage data may include historical users, historical usage time, historical usage frequency, etc. Specifically, in order to determine the usage habits of family members for the target home appliance, in this solution, the historical usage frequency of the target home appliance can be obtained. Here, it is necessary to enter the filtered usage time period in the target home appliance to filter out the usage frequency of each family member within the time period. For example, the usage time period can be set to 8:00-20:00 in the morning. In this way, the historical usage frequency of the target home appliance by each user in the family is effectively filtered out. Furthermore, the user with the highest frequency of use of the target home appliance can be determined as the target user, so that the target home appliance can give priority to meeting the control needs of the target user and realize intelligent and precise control of the target home appliance.

[0050] Optionally, S11, the target home appliance determines a target user within its collection area, including: when there is an emotionally unstable user within the collection area of ​​the target home appliance, the target home appliance determines the emotionally unstable user as the target user within the collection area of ​​the target home appliance.

[0051] In this solution, if there is an emotionally unstable user in the target home appliance collection area, it is necessary to give priority to meeting the control needs of the target home appliance of the emotionally unstable user to alleviate the user's unstable emotions. In this solution, the behavior information of the emotionally unstable user can be pre-set, and when the user shows the pre-stored behavior, it is determined that the user has unstable emotions. In one example, the behavior information of the emotionally unstable user can be pacing back and forth in the room where the target home appliance is located. In another example, the behavior information of the emotionally unstable user can be setting the air conditioner to sleep mode when the user is not resting. In this way, when the user in the target home appliance collection area exhibits this behavior, the user is determined to be an emotionally unstable user. It can be understood that when the user is in a stable emotional state, the daily control settings of the target home appliance are regular, and the user's settings have similarities, such as setting the target home appliance to a certain setting mode in the same time period. Therefore, in another example, the historical usage data of the target home appliance can be used to compare the settings of the target user's target home appliance in the same period of time in the recent period. If it deviates from the original inherent settings, the user is judged to be an emotionally unstable user. Furthermore, when it is determined that there is an emotionally unstable user within the collection area of ​​the target home appliance, the user can be identified as the target user, so that the target home appliance can give priority to meeting the control needs of the target home appliance of the emotionally unstable user, so that through the operation of the target home appliance, the emotions of the user in an unstable emotional state can be alleviated, thereby improving the use satisfaction of the home appliance.

[0052] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a target control mode provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 3 As shown, optionally, S11, the target home appliance determines the target control mode of the target user, including:

[0053] S31, the target home appliance obtains the control habit information of the target user on the target home appliance.

[0054] S32, the target home appliance determines the control mode corresponding to the control habit information as the target control mode of the target user.

[0055] In this solution, the target user's control habit information for the target home appliance can be the target user's control method habit for the target home appliance. In one example, the frequency of the target user controlling the target home appliance through various control methods can be determined through the historical usage data stored in the target home appliance, and the control method with the highest frequency can be determined as the target user's control habit for the target home appliance. For example, if the target user controls the target home appliance 3 times by voice, controls the target home appliance 1 time by gesture, and controls the target home appliance 8 times by remote control, then remote control can be determined as the target user's control habit for the target home appliance. In an optimized solution, the historical usage data of all home appliances in the room where the target home appliance is located can also be summarized, and the user's control habits can be determined more accurately. In addition, the control methods favorite by each user can be stored in the target home appliance in advance and determined as the control habits of the target home appliance, so as to effectively avoid the target user's resistance. Further, the control method corresponding to the control habit information can be determined as the target control method of the target user, which effectively meets the target user's control needs for the target home appliance.

[0056] Figure 4 is another schematic diagram of a method for determining a target control mode provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 4 As shown, optionally, S11, the target home appliance determines the target control mode of the target user, including:

[0057] S41, the target home appliance determines the locations of the control devices corresponding to its multiple control modes.

[0058] S42, the target home appliance determines the control mode corresponding to the control device closest to the target user as the target control mode of the target user.

[0059] In this solution, after determining the target user, a more suitable target control method can be determined in combination with the location of the control device. Here, if the control method is remote control, the control device is a remote control. If the control method is touch screen control, the control device is a touch screen. If the control method is voice control, the control device is a voice acquisition device. If the control method is gesture control, the control device is an image acquisition device. Furthermore, in order to more conveniently meet the control needs of the target user, the control device closest to the target user can be determined, so as to increase the control speed of the target home appliance of the target user and determine a more suitable target control method for the target user.

[0060] In practical applications, the target home appliance can be an air conditioner. The target user with the highest priority among multiple users in the air conditioner collection area can be determined through the pre-stored priority information, and the target control method of the air conditioner suitable for the target user can be determined through the target user's location or control habits. If the target control method is voice control, the user's command information can be collected through the voice collection module of the air conditioner, and the control instructions corresponding to the command information can be determined to control the air conditioner to execute the instruction operation corresponding to the control instruction. In this way, after the control method of the home appliance suitable for the target user is determined, the situation where the user is not adapted to the control method is reduced, and the user's resistance is avoided, so that the target user can achieve intelligent control of the home appliance through a more suitable control method.

[0061] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for controlling a home appliance, comprising a first determination module, a second determination module and a control module. The first determination module is configured to determine a target user in a target home appliance collection area and a target control mode of the target user; the second determination module is configured to determine a control instruction of the target home appliance according to the target control mode; and the control module is configured to control the target home appliance to execute an instruction operation corresponding to the control instruction.

[0062] By using the device for controlling household appliances provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining the target control mode of the target user, the control instruction of the target household appliance is determined, so as to control the target household appliance to perform the corresponding instruction operation through the control instruction. With this scheme, after determining the control mode of the household appliance suitable for the target user, the situation where the user is not adapted to the control mode is effectively reduced, and the user is prevented from having resistance, so that the target user can realize intelligent control of the household appliance through a more suitable control mode.
