[0032] See first Figures 1 to 3 ,in, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the side structure of the clothes hanging mechanism of the smart wardrobe of the present invention, Figure 2 : is a schematic diagram of the forward structure of the clothes hanging mechanism of the smart wardrobe of the present invention, Figure 3 1 is a system structure diagram of the intelligent wardrobe management system of the present invention.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the smart wardrobe management system of the present invention includes a smart wardrobe and a cloud server. The smart wardrobe includes a cabinet (not shown), an RFID reading module (denoted as a first RFID reading module), and a hanging mechanism. The first RFID reading module is disposed on the cabinet, and the hanging mechanisms are all disposed within the cabinet. There are multiple hanging mechanisms, and each hanging mechanism is provided with a location tag 6. The location tag 6 stores the location information of the hanging mechanism where the location tag 6 is located, and the user can hang clothes on the hanging mechanism.
[0034] The clothes hanging mechanism is configured to enable the position tag 6 to be in a hidden state when there are no clothes on the clothes hanging mechanism to avoid being identified by the first RFID reading module, and to enable the position tag 6 to be in an exposed state when there are clothes hanging on the clothes hanging mechanism so that it can be identified by the first RFID reading module.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clothes hanging mechanism of the present invention specifically includes a supporting member 2 , a shielding member 3 , an elastic member 4 and a clothes hanging member 7 .
[0036] The supporting member 2 is arranged inside the cabinet and connected to the cabinet, the shielding member 3 is connected to the supporting member 2 and arranged vertically, the interior of the shielding member 3 has an accommodating space, and the bottom of the shielding member 3 is provided with an opening, the elastic member 4 is arranged in the accommodating space, the upper end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the supporting member 2, the lower end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the clothes hanging member 7, and the position label 6 is connected to the elastic member 4 and / or the clothes hanging member 7.
[0037] When no clothes are hung on the clothes hanging component 7, the elastic component 4 only bears the weight of the clothes hanging component 7 and the position tag 6. The elastic component 4 is in a natural state. At this time, the position tag 6 is located in the accommodating space of the shielding component 3, and the elastic force of the elastic component 4 maintaining its natural shape can limit the position tag 6 from moving out of the accommodating space. The position tag 6 is hidden and shielded by the shielding component 3, that is, the position tag 6 is in a hidden state.
[0038] When clothes are hung on the hanging component 7, the elastic component 4 needs to bear the weight of the hanging component 7, the position tag 6 and the clothes, and the elastic component 4 changes from a natural state to a stretched state. At this time, the lower end of the elastic component 4 is stretched downward, and the position tag 6 moves out of the accommodation space through the opening at the bottom of the shielding component 3, and the position tag 6 changes from a hidden state to a revealed state.
[0039] like Figure 3As shown, the smart wardrobe of the present invention further includes a main control module and a voice module that are communicatively connected, and the main control module is communicatively connected to the first RFID reading module and the cloud service.
[0040] Among them, the first RFID reading module can read all the position tags 6 and all the clothing tags in the cabinet that are in the exposed state, and can send all the read position tag information and all the clothing tag information to the main control module.
[0041] The main control module can upload all location tag information and all clothing tag information to the cloud server. The cloud server can determine the newly added clothing tag information based on all clothing tag information and determine the newly added location tag information based on all location tag information, and pair the newly added clothing tag information with the newly added location tag information for storage.
[0042] The cloud server can also determine the target clothing (recorded as the first target clothing) based on the user's clothing matching data and the clothing newly hung in the cabinet, and judge whether the first target clothing is hung in the cabinet. When it is determined that the first target clothing is hung in the cabinet, it can further judge whether the distance between the storage position of the newly hung clothing and the storage position of the first target clothing is greater than the preset distance. When it is determined that the distance between the storage position of the newly hung clothing and the storage position of the first target clothing is greater than the preset distance, the storage position of the first target clothing is sent to the main control module.
[0043] After receiving the storage location of the first target clothes, the main control module can control the voice module to issue a voice prompt to remind the user to move the newly hung clothes to a position closer to the first target clothes; the first target clothes are clothes that the user often wears with the newly hung clothes.
[0044] In the application state, the hanger components 7 in the cabinet with clothes hanging on them expose the position tags 6, while the position tags 6 on the unused hanger components 7 are hidden and shielded. When the user hangs clothes on a hanger component 7, the elastic component 4 above the hanger component 7 is stretched by gravity, and the position tags 6 are exposed to the outside of the shielding component 3 as the elastic component 4 stretches. The main control module controls the first RFID reading module to read all the position tags 6 and all the clothing tags in the cabinet. After reading all the position tag information and all the clothing tag information, the first RFID reading module will feed back all the position tag information and all the clothing tag information to the main control module, so that the main control module can upload all the received position tag information and all the clothing tag information to the cloud server.
[0045] After the data is uploaded, the cloud server will determine which specific clothing item has been added based on all the currently updated clothing tag information and the location of the newly used hanging component 7 based on all the location tag information, and establish and store the mapping relationship between the newly added clothing tag information and the newly added location tag information to facilitate user search.
[0046] Specifically, the cloud server can compare all the clothing tag information received this time with all the clothing tag information received last time, and select out an extra piece of clothing tag information from all the clothing tag information received this time, and the piece of clothing tag information is the relevant feature information of the clothing newly hung in the closet; and compare all the position tag information received this time with all the position tag information received last time, and select out an extra piece of position tag information from all the position tag information received this time, and the piece of position tag information is the relevant information of the position of the newly used hanging component 7; and then store the newly added clothing tag information in pair with the newly added position tag information.
[0047] It should be noted that when a user takes any clothing hung in the cabinet, the clothing leaves its hanging position, and the hanging member 7 at the hanging position is no longer pulled by the gravity of the clothing and rebounds, and the position label 6 on the hanging mechanism is retracted into the shielding member 3.
[0048] At this time, the main control module controls the first RFID reading module to read all the location tags 6 in the cabinet again, and uploads all the current location tag information obtained to the cloud server, so that the cloud server can compare all the current location tag information with all the location tag information received last time, determine the reduced location tag information, and then the cloud server deletes the mapping data with the location tag information, thereby automatically updating the clothing storage status.
[0049] In addition, after the user hangs clothes in the cabinet, the cloud server can also determine the clothes that the user often wears with the newly hung clothes when going out based on the user's clothing matching data (recorded as the first target clothes).
[0050] For example, another RFID reading module that is communicatively connected to the main control module can be set at the user's doorstep, which is recorded as the second RFID reading module. The second RFID reading module can read the clothing tag information of the top and the clothing tag information of the bottom worn by the user when going out, and send the clothing tag information of the top and the clothing tag information of the bottom to the main control module. The main control module uploads the received clothing tag information of the top and the clothing tag information of the bottom to the cloud server. The cloud server can record the number of times each bottom is matched with each top. This data is the user's clothing matching data. If the user puts in a top, the cloud server will find the bottom that is matched with the top the most times according to the user's clothing matching data, and this bottom is recorded as the first target clothing.
[0051] After determining the first target clothing, the cloud server is required to determine whether the first target clothing is hung in the cabinet. Specifically, the cloud server can compare the clothing tag information of the first target clothing with all the clothing tag information just received. If the clothing tag information just received includes the tag information of the first target clothing, it indicates that the first target clothing is hung in the cabinet. Otherwise, it indicates that the first target clothing is not hung in the cabinet.
[0052] When it is determined that the first target clothes are hung in the cabinet, the cloud server is needed to further determine whether the distance between the storage location of the newly hung clothes and the storage location of the first target clothes is greater than the preset distance. If the distance between the storage location of the newly hung clothes and the storage location of the first target clothes is greater than the preset distance, it means that the newly hung clothes are far away from the first target clothes. At this time, the cloud server sends the storage location of the first target clothes to the main control module.
[0053] After receiving the storage location of the first target clothes, the main control module can control the voice module to issue a voice prompt to remind the user to move the newly hung clothes to a location closer to the first target clothes.
[0054] That is to say, when the user hangs clothes, the smart wardrobe management system of the present invention can remind the user to put clothes that are often worn when traveling together based on the user's clothing matching data, making it easier to find the clothes to wear next time, greatly saving time and providing a better user experience.
[0055] Exemplarily, the location information stored in each location tag 6 is a number, for example, from left to right it is 1, 2, 3, ..., n-1, n, and the preset distance is 3. If the number stored in the location tag 6 on the hanging mechanism where the newly hung clothes are located is 5, and the number stored in the location tag 6 on the hanging mechanism where the first target clothes are located is 9, then the distance between the storage location of the newly hung clothes and the storage location of the first target clothes = |9-5|=4, which is greater than 3 (preset distance). The cloud server sends the storage location of the first target clothes to the main control module. After receiving the storage location of the first target clothes, the main control module can control the voice module to issue a voice prompt. For example, the voice module can issue "The clothes you just hung on the hanging mechanism No. 5 and the clothes hung on the hanging mechanism No. 9 are a set you often wear. It is recommended to put them together."
[0056] It should be noted that after the user hangs the clothes on the No. 5 hanging mechanism, the cloud server has paired and stored the location tag information of the No. 5 hanging mechanism with the clothing tag information of the clothes. However, when the user takes the clothes off the No. 5 hanging mechanism, the location tag 6 on the No. 5 hanging mechanism is in a hidden state. When the cloud server compares all the location tag information received this time with all the location tag information received last time, it will be found that one location tag information (i.e., the location tag information of the No. 5 hanging mechanism) is missing from all the location tag information received this time. At this time, the cloud server will delete the mapping data with the location tag information of the No. 5 hanging mechanism. In this way, when the user hangs the clothes on other hanging mechanisms, for example, when the user hangs the clothes on the No. 8 hanging mechanism, the cloud server will establish a new mapping relationship between the clothing tag information of the clothes and the location tag information of the No. 8 hanging mechanism.
[0057] It should also be noted that if the distance between the storage location of the newly hung clothes and the storage location of the first target clothes is not greater than the preset distance, it means that the newly hung clothes are closer to the first target clothes. In this case, there is no need to remind the user.
[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the number of first target clothes is not limited to one. For example, it can also be two or more pieces. In this case, as long as the distance between the storage location of the newly hung clothes and the storage location of one of the first target clothes is less than or equal to the preset distance, there is no need to remind the user.
[0059] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the above embodiment, the stretch resistance of the elastic member 4 can be set according to the weight of conventional clothing. For example, the elastic member 4 can be configured to allow the position tag 6 to be moved outside the shielding member 3 when bearing the weight of the lightest clothing, such as a silk scarf or a chiffon short-sleeved shirt.
[0060] Furthermore, it's important to note that each piece of clothing has a label that stores information about the material, style, and color of the clothing, such as "white - pure cotton - sweatshirt." This label can be pre-installed when the clothing is manufactured, or it can be affixed to the clothing after the user purchases it.
[0061] In addition, it should be noted that the first RFID reading module in the above embodiment may include multiple reading units for reading clothing tags and location tags 6 respectively, such as two reading units for reading location tags 6, and the other two reading units for reading clothing tags, or, it may only include one reading unit with a large reading range that can meet the reading requirements of location tags 6 and clothing tags at the same time.
[0062] In addition, the first RFID reading module can read the location tag 6 and the clothing tag in real time, that is, the reading operation of the first RFID reading module is performed continuously and uninterruptedly, or it can read the location tag 6 and the clothing tag once after a set time, where the set time can be set according to the user's clothing storage habits or update requirements, as long as the specified set time can ensure that the reading action of the first RFID reading module is not significantly delayed relative to the change time of the increase in the number of clothes in the cabinet.
[0063] As an example, the elastic member 4 is a tension spring, the shielding member 3 is a metal tube arranged vertically, and the opening is a bottom pipe opening of the metal tube.
[0064] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clothes hanging mechanism of the present invention also includes a clothes hanging rail 1, the interior of the clothes hanging rail 1 is hollow and the bottom is grooved, the supporting member 2 includes a roller assembly 21 arranged in the clothes hanging rail 1 and a rotating shaft 22 rotatably arranged on the axis of the roller assembly 21, and the upper end of the elastic member 4 is pivotally connected to the rotating shaft 22.
[0065] Through the above arrangement, each hanging member 7 can also slide left and right along the length direction of the hanging rail 1, so that the spacing between the hanging members 7 can be adjusted, so that the spacing between the hanging members 7 can better match the hanging requirements of clothes of different thicknesses.
[0066] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the clothes hanging mechanism of the present invention further includes a fixing component 5 , on which a position label 6 is provided.
[0067] For example, Figure 1As shown, the roller assembly 21 includes two rollers, one on each side of a slot in the bottom of the clothes-hanging rail 1. The two ends of the rotating shaft 22 are connected to the axis of each roller. The upper end of the tension spring extends into the slot and is pivotally connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 22. The lower end is connected to the top of the fixed member 5. The lower end of the fixed member 5 is connected to the clothes-hanging member 7, so that the position tag 6 can be connected to the tension spring and the clothes-hanging member 7 respectively via the fixed member 5. A set of perforations is provided at the top of the metal tube to allow the rotating shaft 22 to be inserted for support and fixation. The fixed member 5 and the tension spring are shaped so as not to interfere with the inner wall or opening of the metal tube during stretching or rebounding.
[0068] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the fixing member 5 is a strip structure, and a limiting structure 51 protruding relative to its vertical side is provided on the upper part of the strip structure, and a limiting edge 31 is provided on the edge of the bottom pipe mouth of the metal tube, so that when the fixing member 5 is driven downward by the tension spring, the limiting structure 51 can limit the further movement of the fixing member 5 by abutting against the upper side of the limiting edge 31, thereby preventing the tension spring from being over-stretched when the weight of the hung clothes is heavy.
[0069] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the structure of the shielding member 3 is not limited to the metal round tube shown in the example, as long as the setting shape of the shielding member 3 can meet the shielding requirements of the position tag 6 when it is not in use. In addition, the structural form of the above-mentioned elastic member 4 is not limited. For example, the elastic member 4 can also be other elastic members 4 such as rubber ropes and plastic tension springs in addition to tension springs. Furthermore, the roller assembly 21 is not limited to the setting form of double rollers + rotating shafts, as long as the roller combination structure can meet the movement requirements of the shielding member 3 and the clothes hanging member 7. Even when the inner track of the clothes hanging rail 1 is smooth enough, the left and right movement of the shielding member 3 and the clothes hanging member 7 can be achieved by installing a sliding slider instead of a rolling method.
[0070] Preferably, the cloud server of the present invention can also determine the reduced clothing tag information based on all the clothing tag information currently obtained and all the clothing tag information obtained last time; the cloud server can obtain the clothing tag information of the second target clothing and the location tag information stored in pair with the clothing tag information of the second target clothing based on the user's clothing matching data and the reduced clothing tag information; the cloud server can send the location tag information of the second target clothing to the main control module; after receiving the location tag information of the second target clothing, the main control module can control the voice module to issue a voice prompt to inform the user of the location tag information of the second target clothing; the second target clothing is clothing that the user often travels with the reduced clothing.
[0071] For example, when a user takes out a piece of clothing from a cabinet, it indicates that the user may want to wear the clothing out. At this time, the cloud server will compare all the clothing tag information received twice and will find that one piece of clothing tag information is missing in the clothing tag information received the second time. Next, the cloud server will search for clothing tag information that is often matched with the clothing tag information based on the user's clothing matching data (recorded as target clothing tag information). The clothing represented by the target clothing tag information is the second target clothing. The user often wears the second target clothing with the clothing just taken out. After determining the clothing tag information of the second target clothing, the location tag information stored in pair with the clothing tag information of the second target clothing can naturally be determined, and then the location tag information is sent to the main control module. Finally, the main control module controls the voice module to inform the user of the location tag information. For example, the voice module can be made to issue "Hang the clothes that are often worn with the clothes you just took out on the No. 10 hanging mechanism."
[0072] That is to say, when the user takes out clothes from the cabinet, the intelligent wardrobe management system of the present invention can inform the user of the hanging locations of clothes that are often worn with the clothes taken out by the user based on the user's clothing matching data, so that the user can quickly find the clothes he needs, further improving the user experience.
[0073] It should be noted that the number of the second target clothes is not limited to one, for example, it can also be multiple pieces. When the number of the second target clothes is multiple pieces, the location tag information of the multiple pieces of second target clothes will be notified to the user.
[0074] Preferably, the smart wardrobe of the present invention also includes a plurality of lighting components (not shown in the figure) respectively arranged at each hanging mechanism position, and the main control module can control the lighting components arranged at the hanging mechanism position corresponding to the position tag information of the second target clothing to turn on.
[0075] That is to say, each hanging mechanism corresponds to a lighting component, which can be set on the hanging mechanism, or on the inner wall of the cabinet corresponding to the position of the hanging mechanism. After determining the position label information of the second target clothing, for example, the position label information of the second target clothing is 10, the main control module controls the lighting component corresponding to hanging mechanism No. 10 to turn on, so as to illuminate the second target clothing hung on hanging mechanism No. 10.
[0076] This arrangement facilitates the user to quickly find the second target clothing and also facilitates the user to observe whether the second target clothing is suitable.
[0077] Preferably, if Figure 3As shown, the smart wardrobe of the present invention also includes a sensor module and a first power supply module connected to the first RFID reader module. The main control module is communicatively connected to the sensor module and the first power supply module. The sensor module is capable of sensing the presence of a user near the smart wardrobe, such as an infrared sensor. Both the sensor module and the main control module are powered by a second power supply module, which remains powered during operation.
[0078] The sensor module can send a signal to the main control module when the user approaches the cabinet, and stop sending signals to the main control module when the user moves away from the cabinet. The main control module can control the first power supply module to supply power when receiving a signal, and control the first power supply module to cut off power when no signal is received.
[0079] In this way, the first power supply module only supplies power when the user needs to use the smart wardrobe and there is a power demand, otherwise the power is cut off, so that when the user does not hang or take out clothes in the smart wardrobe, the first RFID reading module is on standby and does not read the clothing tags or location tags 6, thereby reducing the working times of the first RFID reading module, ensuring the power safety of the smart wardrobe and saving energy.
[0080] In this scenario, when the first power supply module is powered, the first RFID reading module can begin reading in real time or at preset intervals, so as to promptly determine changes in the number of clothes in the smart wardrobe or the number of hanging components in use when a user approaches the smart wardrobe to take out or store clothes. To reduce the probability of false positives, a user can be configured to enter or exit the smart wardrobe only after a set time has passed before being considered as approaching or leaving the smart wardrobe.
[0081] Next see Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a flowchart of the steps of the control method of the intelligent wardrobe management system of the present invention.
[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, based on the above-mentioned smart wardrobe management system, the present invention also provides a control method of the smart wardrobe management system, which includes:
[0083] Step S10: Acquire all clothing tag information and all location tag information in the cabinet read by the first RFID reading module;
[0084] Step S20: Compare all the clothing tag information currently acquired with all the clothing tag information acquired last time to determine newly added clothing tag information;
[0085] Step S30: Compare all the currently acquired location tag information with all the location tag information acquired last time to determine newly added location tag information;
[0086] Step S40: Pair and store the newly added clothing tag information and the newly added location tag information;
[0087] Step S50: obtaining clothing tag information of the first target clothing according to the user's clothing matching data and the newly added clothing tag information;
[0088] Step S60: Compare the clothing label information of the first target clothing with all the clothing label information currently acquired to determine whether the first target clothing is hung in the cabinet;
[0089] Step S70: If the judgment result is "yes", the storage location of the first target clothing is obtained and recorded as the target storage location;
[0090] Step S80: Calculating the distance between the storage location of the newly added clothes and the target storage location;
[0091] Step S90: determining whether the distance is greater than a preset distance;
[0092] Step S100: If the judgment result is "yes", the smart wardrobe sends a prompt message to remind the user to move the newly added clothes to a position closer to the first target clothes.
[0093] The first target clothing is clothing that the user often wears with the newly added clothing.
[0094] Preferably, the control method of the present invention further includes: when the location tag information is reduced when comparing all the location tag information currently obtained with all the location tag information obtained last time, the cloud server deletes the mapping data containing the reduced location tag information.
[0095] Preferably, the control method of the present invention further includes: comparing all currently acquired clothing tag information with all previously acquired clothing tag information to determine the reduced clothing tag information; acquiring clothing tag information of a second target clothing item based on the user's clothing matching data and the reduced clothing tag information; acquiring location tag information stored in a pair with the clothing tag information of the second target clothing item; and notifying the user of the location tag information. The second target clothing item is clothing that the user frequently pairs with the reduced clothing item.
[0096] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the location tag information of the second target clothing can be informed to the user by having the voice module play voice, or an indicator light can be set to inform the user of the location tag information of the second target clothing through the indicator light, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and should be limited within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0097] Preferably, the smart wardrobe of the present invention further comprises a plurality of lighting components respectively arranged at each position of the clothes hanging mechanism, and the step of "informing the user of the position tag information" specifically comprises: turning on the lighting components arranged at the clothes hanging mechanism positions corresponding to the position tag information.
[0098] Preferably, the smart wardrobe of the present invention further includes a first power supply module, which is electrically connected to the first RFID reading module so as to be able to supply power to the first RFID reading module. The control method of the present invention further includes: determining whether there is a user within the use range of the smart wardrobe; if there is a user within the use range of the smart wardrobe, controlling the first power supply module to supply power; if there is no user within the use range of the smart wardrobe, controlling the first power supply module to cut off power.
