[0061] Figure 5 A schematic hardware structure diagram of the server provided by an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0063] In the specification and claims of the present invention and the above accompanying drawings, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order different from those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0064] In the prior art, when a user uses a laundry treatment device including two laundry treatment units to wash clothes, the voice device needs to first ask the user which laundry treatment unit to use for washing clothes, and then when it is determined that the laundry treatment unit selected by the user is available, that is, when it is determined that the laundry treatment unit selected by the user is not washing clothes, the laundry treatment unit selected by the user is used as the target laundry treatment unit, and the user is prompted that the target laundry treatment unit can be used to wash clothes. However, since when determining the target laundry treatment unit, the user needs to select a laundry treatment unit first, and then when it is determined that the laundry treatment unit selected by the user is available, can this laundry treatment unit be used as the target laundry treatment unit, the steps for determining the target laundry treatment unit are cumbersome, resulting in low efficiency in determining the target laundry treatment unit.

[0065] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the technical concept of the present invention is to obtain the operating states of two laundry processing units of a laundry processing device, namely the operating state of the first laundry processing unit and the operating state of the second laundry processing unit, when it is determined that the user needs to wash the laundry to be washed. When it is determined that both the operating state of the first laundry processing unit and the operating state of the second laundry processing unit are not in operation, it indicates that both laundry processing units can be used to wash the laundry to be washed. In order to ensure the washing effect, the washing mode suitable for washing the laundry to be washed is determined according to the attribute information of the laundry to be washed, and the laundry processing unit corresponding to the washing mode is used as the target laundry processing unit. When it is determined that the operating state of one of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit is not in operation and the operating state of the other laundry processing unit is in operation, it indicates that only one laundry processing unit is idle and can be used to wash the laundry to be washed. Then, the idle laundry processing unit, that is, the laundry processing unit with the operating state of not being in operation, is used as the target laundry processing unit. After determining the target laundry processing unit, the target laundry processing unit is directly pushed to the user, so that the user can know that the target laundry processing unit can be used to wash the laundry currently, without asking the user to select a laundry processing unit anymore, but directly informing the user of the target laundry processing unit, thereby improving the determination efficiency of the target laundry processing unit.

[0066] The following describes the preferred technical solutions of the laundry processing unit recommendation method and the server of the present invention with reference to the above drawings.

[0067] Figure 1 The scenario diagram of the laundry processing unit recommendation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as Figure 1 shown. The voice device 101 is used to collect the user's voice to obtain a user voice message, and send the user voice message to the server 102. When the server 102 determines that the user needs to wash clothes according to the user voice message, it obtains the operating states of two laundry processing units of the laundry processing device 103, determines the target laundry processing unit that can be used to wash clothes according to the operating states of the two laundry processing units, and pushes it to the voice device 101. The voice device 101 plays the target laundry processing unit to inform the user of the laundry processing unit that can be used to wash the clothes.

[0068] Optionally, the laundry processing device is a laundry processing device including two laundry processing units, such as a twin-tub washing machine. The laundry processing unit is the tub of the washing machine, that is, the washing tub, and both two laundry processing units can wash clothes. The voice device can be a smart speaker or other devices that can collect the user's voice and / or play voice.

[0069] Figure 2 The flow chart of the laundry processing unit recommendation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention Figure 1, the execution subject of this embodiment may be Figure 1 the server in the embodiment shown, and there is no special limitation here in this embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes:

[0070] S201. Obtain the operating status of the first laundry processing unit and the operating status of the second laundry processing unit of the laundry processing device.

[0071] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the user needs to wash the laundry to be washed using the laundry processing device, obtain the operating status of the first laundry processing unit and the operating status of the second laundry processing unit of the laundry processing device.

[0072] Among them, the operating status includes being in operation and not being in operation. Being in operation means that the laundry processing unit is in an operating state, that is, it is washing clothes. Not being in operation means that the laundry processing unit is in an idle state and can be used to wash the laundry to be washed.

[0073] Among them, the laundry to be washed includes clothes, shoes, hats, etc. When washing the laundry to be washed, the processing process of the laundry includes one or more of a washing process, a rinsing process, a dehydration process, and a drying process.

[0074] In addition, optionally, when the server obtains the operating status of the two laundry processing units of the laundry processing device, it may send a status acquisition request to the laundry processing device, so that when the laundry processing device receives the status acquisition request, it obtains the operating status of its own laundry processing units, that is, the operating status of the first laundry processing unit and the operating status of the second laundry processing unit, and returns them to the server.

[0075] Furthermore, the laundry processing device can also obtain the operating status of its own laundry processing units, that is, the operating status of the first laundry processing unit and the operating status of the second laundry processing unit at preset time intervals, and send them to the server.

[0076] It can be understood that the first laundry processing unit is any one of the laundry processing units in the above-mentioned laundry processing device, and the second laundry processing unit is the other laundry processing unit. For example, when the laundry processing device is a twin-tub washing machine, the tub of the twin-tub washing machine includes two upper and lower tubs. When the first tub is the upper tub, the second tub is the lower tub; and for another example, when the first tub is the lower tub, the second tub is the upper tub.

[0077] S202. Determine the target laundry processing unit according to the operating status of the first laundry processing unit and the operating status of the second laundry processing unit, and push the target laundry processing unit to the user, where the target laundry processing unit is the laundry processing unit used to wash the laundry to be washed.

[0078] In this embodiment, after obtaining the operating states of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit of the laundry processing device, the laundry processing unit that can be used to wash the laundry to be washed is determined from the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit according to the operating states of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit, and it is pushed to the user as the target laundry processing unit, so that the user can directly use the target laundry processing unit to wash the laundry to be washed.

[0079] In this embodiment, the idle laundry processing unit is automatically determined according to the operating states of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit, that is, the laundry processing unit that can be used to wash the laundry to be washed is automatically determined, so as to realize the automatic determination of the target laundry processing unit. There is no need to ask the user to select the laundry processing unit, but directly determine the target laundry processing unit and inform the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0080] As can be seen from the above description, when the user uses the laundry processing device to wash the laundry to be washed, the operating states of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit of the laundry processing device are obtained, and the laundry processing unit that can wash the laundry to be washed is determined from the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit according to the operating states of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit, that is, the target laundry processing unit is determined, so as to realize the automatic determination of the target laundry processing unit, improve the determination efficiency of the target laundry processing unit, and then recommend the target laundry processing unit to the user, so that the user can directly know the laundry processing unit for washing the laundry to be washed and use the laundry processing unit to wash the laundry to be washed, thereby improving the laundry washing efficiency. There is no need for the user to select, so the problem of low determination efficiency of the target laundry processing unit will not occur, and the user experience can be effectively improved.

[0081] Figure 3 Flow schematic of the laundry processing unit recommendation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention Figure 2 This embodiment is based on Figure 2 the embodiment, and details the specific implementation process of how to determine the target laundry processing unit according to the operating states of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit. As Figure 3 shown, the method includes:

[0082] S301. Obtain the operating states of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit of the laundry processing device.

[0083] In this embodiment, the user can also wash clothes by voice - controlling the clothes - processing device. That is, when the user wants to wash clothes, the user can speak a voice including a preset laundry keyword. After the voice device collects the user's voice, it generates corresponding user voice information in a preset format and sends it to the server.

[0084] The server obtains the user voice information sent by the voice device. That is, after receiving the user voice information sent by the voice device, it determines whether there is a preset laundry keyword in the user voice information. When it is determined that there is a preset laundry keyword in the user voice information, it indicates that the user inputs a washing instruction, that is, the user needs to wash the clothes to be washed, and then obtains the operating status of the first clothes - processing unit and the operating status of the second clothes - processing unit of the clothes - processing device.

[0085] It should be noted that the voice device and the clothes - processing device have been bound. When the server receives the user voice information sent by a certain voice device, it performs voice recognition on the user voice information to determine whether there is a preset laundry keyword in the user voice information. If there is, it directly obtains the operating status of the clothes - processing unit of the clothes - processing device corresponding to the voice device, that is, obtains the operating status of the clothes - processing unit of the clothes - processing device bound to the voice device.

[0086] In addition, optionally, it can also be determined by the voice device whether there is a preset laundry keyword in the user voice information. When it is determined that there is one, a request for obtaining the clothes - processing unit is sent to the server, so that the server obtains the operating status of the clothes - processing unit of the clothes - processing device and determines the target clothes - processing unit.

[0087] S302: If the operating status of the first clothes - processing unit is not in operation and the operating status of the second clothes - processing unit is not in operation, then determine whether there is attribute information corresponding to the clothes to be washed.

[0088] Optionally, when it is determined that the operating status of the first clothes - processing unit is not in operation and the operating status of the second clothes - processing unit is also not in operation, it indicates that both clothes - processing units of the clothes - processing device are in an idle state. Then, any one of the first clothes - processing unit and the second clothes - processing unit can be directly selected as the target clothes - processing unit.

[0089] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the washing effect, when it is determined that both clothes - processing units of the clothes - processing device are in an idle state, it can be determined whether there is attribute information corresponding to the clothes to be washed for using the attribute information to determine the washing mode suitable for washing the clothes to be washed. Since the washing modes corresponding to different clothes - processing units are different, the clothes - processing unit corresponding to the washing mode suitable for washing the clothes to be washed can be used as the target clothes - processing unit.

[0090] In this embodiment, optionally, when determining whether there is attribute information corresponding to the clothes to be washed, it is actually determined according to the user voice information sent by the voice device, that is, the user voice information is subjected to voice recognition to obtain the corresponding recognition text, and it is determined whether there is attribute information about the clothes to be washed in the recognition text. The attribute information includes information such as clothing material, clothing type (upper clothes, trousers, coats, etc.), and the quantity of the clothes to be washed. For example, the recognition text obtained by recognizing the user voice information is "wash two wool sweaters", indicating that the user has described the attribute information corresponding to the clothes to be washed, and it is determined that there is attribute information corresponding to the clothes to be washed.

[0091] S303. If there is attribute information corresponding to the clothes to be washed, determine the washing recommendation mode according to the attribute information, and determine the target laundry unit according to the washing recommendation mode.

[0092] In this embodiment, after determining that there is attribute information corresponding to the clothes to be washed, determine the washing recommendation mode matching the attribute information, that is, determine the washing mode suitable for washing the clothes to be washed, and determine the laundry unit suitable for washing the clothes to be washed based on the washing recommendation mode, and use it as the target laundry unit.

[0093] It should be noted that the process of determining the washing mode matching the attribute information according to the attribute information corresponding to the clothes is an existing process. For example, the washing mode corresponding to the attribute information of the clothes to be washed can be found from the preset attribute mode mapping table, and this washing mode is the washing mode matching the attribute information, and then this washing mode is used as the washing recommendation mode.

[0094] In addition, optionally, after determining the washing recommendation mode, the washing recommendation mode can also be pushed to the user so that the user can select a suitable washing mode to wash the clothes to be washed and ensure the washing effect of the clothes.

[0095] In this embodiment, optionally, determining the target laundry unit according to the washing recommendation mode includes: obtaining the first washing mode corresponding to the first laundry unit and obtaining the second washing mode corresponding to the second laundry unit. If there is a first washing mode in the first washing mode that is the same as the washing recommendation mode, the first laundry unit is used as the target laundry unit. If there is a second washing mode in the second washing mode that is the same as the washing recommendation mode, the second laundry unit is used as the target laundry unit.

[0096] In this embodiment, the types of clothes generally washed by the two clothes processing units of the clothes processing device are different. For example, the upper clothes processing unit, that is, the clothes processing unit located above generally washes small clothes with a lighter weight, and the lower clothes processing unit, that is, the clothes processing unit located below generally washes large clothes with a heavier weight. Therefore, the washing modes corresponding to the two clothes processing units are different. That is, when washing clothes using a certain clothes processing unit, only the washing mode corresponding to that clothes processing unit can be used to wash the clothes. Therefore, when determining the target clothes processing unit according to the washing recommendation mode, obtain the washing mode corresponding to the first clothes processing unit and use it as the first washing mode. At the same time, obtain the washing mode corresponding to the second clothes processing unit and use it as the second washing mode. Determine whether there is a first washing mode in all the first washing modes corresponding to the first clothes processing unit that is the same as the washing recommendation mode, and determine whether there is a second washing mode in all the second washing modes corresponding to the second clothes processing unit that is the same as the washing recommendation mode. If there is a first washing mode that is the same as the washing recommendation mode, use the first clothes processing unit as the target clothes processing unit. If there is a second washing mode that is the same as the washing recommendation mode, use the second clothes processing unit as the target clothes processing unit. The washing mode corresponding to the target clothes processing unit has the washing recommendation mode, that is, there is a washing mode suitable for washing the clothes to be washed. Thus, when the user uses the target clothes processing unit to wash the clothes to be washed, the cleaning degree of the clothes can be improved and the washing effect can be ensured.

[0097] S304. If there is no attribute information corresponding to the clothes to be washed, obtain the common washing mode corresponding to the clothes processing device, and determine the target clothes processing unit according to the common washing mode.

[0098] In this embodiment, when it is determined that there is no attribute information corresponding to the clothes to be washed, it indicates that the user has not spoken the voice of the attributes of the clothes to be washed. Therefore, the washing mode suitable for washing the clothes to be washed cannot be accurately determined. Then obtain the common washing mode corresponding to the clothes processing device for the user to use the common washing mode to determine the target clothes processing unit.

[0099] Among them, the common washing mode is the washing mode used most frequently by the user. After the clothes processing device washes the clothes, it will send the washing mode used for washing the clothes this time to the server for the server to record.

[0100] Optionally, the process of determining the target laundry processing unit according to the common washing mode is similar to the process of determining the target laundry processing unit according to the washing recommendation mode above, that is, obtaining the first washing mode corresponding to the first laundry processing unit and obtaining the second washing mode corresponding to the second laundry processing unit. If there is a first washing mode in the first washing modes that is the same as the common washing mode, then the first laundry processing unit is taken as the target laundry processing unit. If there is a second washing mode in the second washing modes that is the same as the common washing mode, then the second laundry processing unit is taken as the target laundry processing unit.

[0101] S305. If the operating state of one of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit is not in operation, and the operating state of the other laundry processing unit is in operation, then the laundry processing unit with the operating state of not in operation is taken as the target laundry processing unit.

[0102] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operating state of one of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit is not in operation and the operating state of the other laundry processing unit is in operation, it indicates that one of the two laundry processing units of the laundry processing device is washing clothes and the other laundry processing unit is idle. Then, the idle laundry processing unit can be used to wash the clothes to be washed, that is, the laundry processing unit with the operating state of not in operation is taken as the target laundry processing unit.

[0103] For example, when the operating state of the first laundry processing unit is not in operation and the operating state of the second laundry processing unit is in operation, it is determined that the operating state of one of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit is not in operation and the operating state of the other laundry processing unit is in operation, and the first laundry processing unit in the idle state is taken as the target laundry processing unit. Or, when the operating state of the first laundry processing unit is in operation and the operating state of the second laundry processing unit is not in operation, it is determined that the operating state of one of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit is not in operation and the operating state of the other laundry processing unit is in operation, and the second laundry processing unit in the idle state is taken as the target laundry processing unit.

[0104] Optionally, if the operating state of one of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit is not in operation, and the operating state of the other laundry processing unit is in operation, it is determined whether there is attribute information corresponding to the laundry to be washed. If there is attribute information corresponding to the laundry to be washed, the washing recommendation mode is determined according to the attribute information and pushed to the user. If there is no attribute information corresponding to the laundry to be washed, the target common washing mode is obtained from the washing modes corresponding to the target laundry processing unit and pushed to the user.

[0105] Specifically, to ensure the washing effect, after determining the target laundry processing unit, it is judged whether there is attribute information corresponding to the laundry to be washed. If there is attribute information corresponding to the laundry to be washed, the washing mode suitable for washing the laundry to be washed is determined according to the attribute information corresponding to the laundry to be washed, so as to obtain the washing recommendation mode, and the washing recommendation mode is pushed to the user, so that the user can know the washing mode suitable for washing the laundry to be washed. Thus, when the user selects to wash the laundry to be washed using this washing mode, the laundry to be washed can be efficiently washed, ensuring the washing effect of the laundry.

[0106] If there is no attribute information corresponding to the laundry to be washed, indicating that the washing mode recommended to the user can be determined according to the user's laundry habits, the washing mode commonly used by the user is searched from the washing modes corresponding to the target laundry processing unit to obtain the target common washing mode, and the target common washing mode is pushed to the user.

[0107] Optionally, when the operating state of one of the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit is not in operation, and the operating state of the other laundry processing unit is in operation, after determining the washing recommendation mode according to the attribute information corresponding to the laundry to be washed, if the laundry processing unit corresponding to the washing recommendation mode is not the target laundry processing unit, an optimal laundry processing unit prompt message is generated and sent to the user, where the optimal laundry processing unit prompt message includes the washing recommendation mode and the laundry processing unit corresponding to the washing recommendation mode.

[0108] In this embodiment, since the washing modes corresponding to different laundry processing units are different, when the laundry processing unit corresponding to the washing recommendation mode determined according to the attribute information corresponding to the laundry to be washed is not the target laundry processing unit, it indicates that when washing the laundry to be washed using the target laundry processing unit, the laundry to be washed cannot be washed according to the washing recommendation mode. Then, an optimal laundry processing unit prompt message is generated and sent to the user so that the user can know the washing mode suitable for washing the laundry to be washed and the laundry processing unit that needs to be used if the laundry to be washed is washed using this washing mode.

[0109] S306. If the operating state of the first laundry processing unit is in operation and the operating state of the second laundry processing unit is in operation, a prompt message indicating that no laundry processing unit is available is generated and sent to the user.

[0110] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operating state of the first laundry processing unit is in operation and the operating state of the second laundry processing unit is also in operation, it indicates that both the first laundry processing unit and the second laundry processing unit are washing clothes, and neither the first laundry processing unit nor the second laundry processing unit is in an idle state. That is, all the laundry processing units of the laundry processing device cannot be used to wash the clothes to be washed. Then a prompt message indicating that no laundry processing unit is available is generated and sent to the user, so that the user can timely learn that both of the two laundry processing units of the laundry processing device are washing clothes and the laundry processing device cannot be used to wash the clothes to be washed.

[0111] In addition, optionally, when sending the prompt message indicating that no laundry processing unit is available to the user, the prompt message indicating that no laundry processing unit is available can be sent to a voice device, so that the voice device plays the prompt message indicating that no laundry processing unit is available to the user, improving the convenience for the user to obtain the information sent by the server.

[0112] S307. Push the target laundry processing unit to the user, where the target laundry processing unit is the laundry processing unit used to wash the clothes to be washed.

[0113] In this embodiment, when pushing the target laundry processing unit to the user so that the user can know the laundry processing unit that can currently wash the clothes to be washed, it can be pushed through a voice device. That is, a target laundry processing unit prompt message is generated according to the target laundry processing unit and the target laundry processing unit prompt message is sent to the voice device, so that the voice device plays the target laundry processing unit prompt message to the user. The target laundry processing unit prompt message includes the target laundry processing unit, improving the convenience for the user to obtain the information sent by the server.

[0114] In addition, optionally, when the washing mode determined according to the attribute information or the common mode (i.e., the common washing mode, the washing recommendation mode, or the target common washing mode) needs to be pushed to the user, it can be pushed together when pushing the target laundry processing unit. That is, the target laundry processing unit prompt message also includes the determined washing mode, improving the pushing efficiency. And when pushing to the user, it can be pushed through voice recognition.

[0115] Further, after pushing the target laundry processing unit and the washing mode to the user, if it is determined that the user inputs a start instruction, indicating that the user has placed the laundry to be washed in the target laundry processing unit, directly control the target laundry processing unit to wash according to the corresponding washing mode (for example, the common washing mode).

[0116] Among them, when determining whether the user inputs a start instruction, it can be determined through the user voice sent by the voice device, that is, perform voice recognition on it to determine whether it includes a preset start keyword. If it includes, it is determined that the user inputs a start instruction; otherwise, it is determined that the user does not input a start instruction.

[0117] Optionally, after the voice device collects the user voice, it can also perform voice recognition on it to determine whether it includes a preset start keyword. If it includes, it is determined that the user inputs a start instruction; otherwise, it is determined that the user does not input a start instruction. After determining that the user inputs a start instruction, directly control the target laundry processing unit to wash according to the corresponding washing mode (for example, the common washing mode).

[0118] In addition, optionally, when the user wants to use other laundry processing units or other washing modes to wash the laundry to be washed, speak the voice including the laundry processing unit and the washing mode, so that the server or the voice device controls the laundry processing device according to the voice.

[0119] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operating states of the two laundry processing units of the laundry processing device are both not in operation, it indicates that both laundry processing units are idle and can be used to wash clothes. Then, determine the washing mode suitable for washing the laundry to be washed according to the attribute information of the laundry to be washed, and use it as the washing recommended mode, and use the laundry processing unit corresponding to this washing mode as the target laundry processing unit. Push the target laundry processing unit and the washing recommended mode to the user, so that the user can place the laundry to be washed in the target laundry processing unit and wash according to the washing recommended mode to ensure the washing effect.

[0120] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the operating state of one of the two laundry processing units of the laundry processing device is not in operation and the operating state of the other laundry processing unit is in operation, it indicates that only the laundry processing unit with the operating state not in operation can be used to wash the laundry to be washed. Then, directly determine this laundry processing unit as the target laundry processing unit and push it to the user, without the user making redundant selections, simplifying the determination process of the target laundry processing unit and effectively improving the determination efficiency.
