These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0045] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0046] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of this application, the terms "inner" and "outer" and other terms indicating the direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0047] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] Before introducing the embodiments of this application, the application background of the embodiments of this application will be explained first:

[0050] In real life, people need to wash their face, take a shower, and hand-wash clothes in the bathroom, which makes the bathroom environment relatively humid, while the kitchen has a lot of oil fumes. Therefore, residents usually do not place washing machines in the bathroom or kitchen.

[0051] For various reasons, residents typically place their washing machines on the balcony. Balconies are drier than bathrooms, preventing moisture damage to the washing machine's internal structure. Furthermore, the absence of cooking fumes on balconies avoids secondary contamination of washed clothes, making it more hygienic. In addition, residents can directly dry their clothes on the balcony after washing. Therefore, placing the washing machine on the balcony is more hygienic, convenient, and healthier than placing it in the bathroom or kitchen.

[0052] With rapid economic development, the benefits of clothes drying have gradually gained social recognition, leading to a rapid increase in market demand for dryers. To facilitate coordinated laundry processing, washing machines and dryers are often placed together. Having both a washing machine and a dryer on the balcony makes washing and drying more convenient, even eliminating the need for hanging clothes to dry, and making the balcony's usable area more spacious. Furthermore, because balconies have good ventilation, and residents need plenty of fresh air for exercise, many home fitness enthusiasts often place their exercise equipment, such as treadmills, elliptical trainers, and stationary bikes, on their balconies.

[0053] However, once users prepare to exercise, they usually won't interrupt unless something unexpected happens. This means that sweating is essential during exercise, and clothes should be removed and washed immediately afterward. Otherwise, clothes stained with sweat, containing inorganic salts and proteins, are prone to odor and deterioration, potentially damaging the garments. Therefore, they need to be washed promptly.

[0054] In existing technologies, balconies typically have windows, making it impossible to directly undress after exercising. To ensure personal privacy, users can manually close the curtains after using the fitness equipment on their balcony, or they can activate smart curtains to close them and then undress, putting the clothes into the washing machine for washing.

[0055] However, in existing technologies, users need to close the curtains after exercising before they can take off their clothes or wash them. Even with smart curtains, users still need to control them via their mobile phones or remote controls. The smart curtains close slowly after receiving the closing command, which takes a long time and may result in poor convenience and a low user experience.

[0056] To address the aforementioned issues, the inventive concept of this application is as follows: While curtains can protect user privacy during undressing, manually closing curtains or controlling smart curtains requires manual intervention, resulting in poor convenience. Therefore, the inventors discovered that if the glass in windows or doors is dimmable, by detecting exercise parameters such as duration, amount, intensity, and body temperature to determine if the user is sweating during exercise, and if the user needs to undress after sweating, the dimmable glass can be adjusted to an opaque yet light-transmitting state (unlike curtains, which would require additional lighting), effectively protecting user privacy during undressing and solving the convenience problem in existing technologies, thereby improving the user experience.

[0057] For example, the dimming glass control method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to... Figure 1 The diagram shows one application scenario. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of the dimming glass control method provided in this application, used to solve the aforementioned technical problems. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this application scenario can include: electronic devices, fitness equipment (such as...) Figure 1 (such as treadmills) and dimming glass (such as...) Figure 1 The window (such as the dimming glass in the window) may also include infrared detection devices (such as... Figure 1 (The infrared imaging camera in the middle).

[0058] In this embodiment, after the fitness equipment is turned off by the user, the user's exercise parameters, such as exercise duration, amount of exercise, and exercise intensity, are sent to the electronic device. Simultaneously, the electronic device can also acquire the user's body temperature via an infrared detector. Subsequently, when the acquired exercise parameters exceed a pre-set threshold, the electronic device sends a first control command to the dimming glass, causing the dimming glass to change from a transparent state to an opaque state upon receiving the command.

[0059] The technical solution of this application will now be described in detail through specific embodiments.

[0060] It should be noted that the following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0061] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the dimming glass control method provided in this application. Figure 2 As shown, the control method for the dimming glass may include the following steps:

[0062] S21. After the fitness equipment is turned off, obtain the user's exercise parameters.

[0063] In this application embodiment, the execution subject is an electronic device, which can be a terminal device such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, computer, central control device of smart home system, etc., or a cloud server. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0064] For example, fitness equipment can be a treadmill, an elliptical trainer, or a stationary bike, etc., and fitness equipment includes three modes: power-on mode, power-off mode, and exercise mode.

[0065] Among them, exercise parameters include at least one of exercise duration, exercise volume, exercise intensity, and body temperature.

[0066] In one feasible approach, the fitness equipment needs to be pre-connected to an electronic device. For example, the fitness equipment can connect to the electronic device via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a data cable. The connection method between the fitness equipment and the electronic device can be determined based on the user's actual situation, and this application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0067] In this mode, when a user is using fitness equipment, the equipment is in exercise mode. The fitness equipment can collect the user's real-time exercise duration, amount of exercise, and exercise intensity, and send the collected exercise parameters to the electronic device. The fitness equipment can also respond to the user's power-off operation by sending a power-off signal to the electronic device. After receiving the power-off signal from the fitness equipment, the electronic device obtains the final exercise duration, amount of exercise, and exercise intensity collected by the fitness equipment for this fitness activity.

[0068] In another possible approach, the electronic device can be pre-connected to the user's smart bracelet. The smart bracelet can collect the user's real-time exercise duration, amount of exercise, and exercise intensity, and send the acquired exercise parameters to the electronic device. The smart bracelet can also send the exercise duration, amount of exercise, and exercise intensity collected during the exercise to the electronic device after the user has finished exercising. The electronic device receives the exercise parameters sent by the smart bracelet.

[0069] In any of the above-mentioned feasible methods, after acquiring motion parameters, the electronic device collects the user's body temperature through an infrared detection device.

[0070] For example, the infrared detection device can be an infrared imaging camera, an infrared thermometer, or an infrared thermal imager, etc., which can be determined according to the user's actual situation. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0071] Among them, infrared imaging cameras can clearly image infrared signals and cannot capture the user's facial image, thus providing strong privacy.

[0072] It should be understood that in any of the above-mentioned feasible methods, the user's body temperature collected by the infrared detection device can be the average temperature of the human body within the detection area. For example, when the user is wearing clothes, the collected infrared signal is weaker, and the average body temperature obtained by processing the infrared signal is lower; while when the user is undressed, because a large area of ​​the user's skin is exposed, the average body temperature obtained by processing the collected infrared signal is higher.

[0073] In any of the above-mentioned feasible methods, exercise intensity can be directly collected by fitness equipment or smart bracelets, and the ratio of the collected exercise volume to the exercise duration can also be determined as exercise intensity.

[0074] S22. When the motion parameters exceed the corresponding motion parameter threshold, generate the first control command.

[0075] Among them, the exercise parameter thresholds include at least one of the following: exercise duration threshold, exercise volume threshold, exercise intensity threshold, and body temperature threshold.

[0076] It should be understood that if the exercise parameter is exercise duration, then the exercise parameter threshold corresponding to exercise duration is the exercise duration threshold; if the exercise parameter is exercise volume, then the exercise parameter threshold corresponding to exercise volume is the exercise volume threshold; if the exercise parameter is exercise intensity, then the exercise parameter threshold corresponding to exercise intensity is the exercise intensity threshold; and if the exercise parameter is body temperature, then the exercise parameter threshold corresponding to body temperature is the body temperature threshold.

[0077] The exercise parameter threshold can be a default threshold set in the electronic device, or it can be set by the user according to their own situation, or it can be confirmed by the electronic device based on the user's previous fitness and sweating. It can be determined according to the user's actual needs, and this application embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on it.

[0078] For example, let's illustrate this with exercise parameters of exercise intensity and exercise time. Assume the exercise intensity is 600 calories per hour, the exercise time is 0.5 hours, the exercise intensity threshold is 500 calories per hour, and the exercise time is 0.4 hours. Since 600 calories per hour exceeds 500 calories per hour, and 0.5 hours exceeds 0.4 hours, it indicates that the user has started sweating during the exercise, and the electronic device generates the first control command.

[0079] For example, let's illustrate this with exercise parameters of exercise volume and exercise time. Assume the exercise volume is 250 calories, the exercise time is 0.2 hours, the exercise volume threshold is 300 calories / hour, and the exercise time is 0.5 hours. Since 250 calories is less than 300 calories and 0.2 hours is less than 0.5 hours, this indicates a low intensity workout. The user might have an emergency at the beginning of the workout or be interrupted by something else, resulting in no sweating. The user doesn't need to change clothes, and even if they need to change before going out, they would go to the dressing room or bedroom, not the balcony or near the fitness equipment. Therefore, the electronic device doesn't need to generate an initial control command.

[0080] The first control command is used to instruct the dimming glass to change from a transparent state to an opaque state.

[0081] For example, the dimming glass can be installed on the window or sliding door of the balcony, or on the window or door of the user's fitness space. The specific installation can be determined according to the actual situation, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0082] It should be understood that dimming glass has a transparent state and an opaque state. In the opaque state, it can have a frosted effect, and the dimming glass can still transmit light in the opaque state.

[0083] For example, the dimming glass can be glass with an IoT-controlled transparent liquid crystal film. This dimming glass can be controlled by voltage to rapidly change between a scattering (opaque) state and a transmission (transparent) state. This change achieves the dual requirements of transparency and privacy protection, and also has an insulating and reflective effect on infrared and ultraviolet rays, making the indoor environment warm in winter and cool in summer, and environmentally friendly and energy-saving. For example, assuming that the dimming glass is opaque when powered on and transparent when not powered on, the electronic device generates a first control command and sends it to the dimming glass. After receiving the first control command, the dimming glass is powered on, thereby adjusting the dimming glass from the transparent state to the opaque state.

[0084] Smart glass is widely used in the architectural decoration industry for high-end hotels, villas, office buildings, offices, banks, insurance companies, hospitals, restaurants, gold shops, cultural relic exhibition halls, confidential locations, museums, exhibition halls, command centers, etc. It can also be used in bathroom doors and windows, sprinkler rooms, kitchen doors and windows, glass curtain walls, and partitions, doors, windows, and ceilings in greenhouses. Smart glass offers excellent lighting and visual obstruction functions, along with energy efficiency and decorative appeal, making it unmatched by ordinary transparent or tinted glass.

[0085] S23. Send the first control command to the dimming glass.

[0086] The control method for dimming glass provided in this application embodiment acquires the user's exercise parameters after the fitness equipment is turned off. When the exercise parameters exceed a corresponding exercise parameter threshold, a first control command is generated and sent to the dimming glass. The electronic device determines whether the user is sweating based on the exercise parameters and the preset exercise parameter threshold. After confirming that the user is sweating, it sends the first control command to the dimming glass, allowing the dimming glass to adjust its transparent state to an opaque state according to the first control command. This method requires no manual intervention or processing, offering good convenience and a better user experience.

[0087] It should be understood that in existing technologies, manually closing curtains takes a certain amount of time. In this solution, however, the dimming glass can quickly switch its transparent state based on a first control command, resulting in a shorter processing time and higher efficiency. Furthermore, while closing curtains protect user privacy, it also blocks light. After the curtains are closed, the room is still dimly lit, requiring manual lighting, which is cumbersome and wasteful of resources. In this solution, even when the dimming glass is in an opaque state, it still allows light to pass through, enabling users to change clothes and do laundry without needing to turn on lights, while maintaining privacy and ensuring consistent brightness. This further enhances the user experience and conserves resources.

[0088] In this solution, users can immediately take off their clothes and throw them into the washing machine after finishing their workout, and take a shower while the clothes are being washed. They won't hear any noise from the washing machine while showering, and can dry or air-dry the clean clothes after showering. This solution perfectly integrates workout, laundry, showering, and drying / air-drying clothes, allowing for comprehensive planning.

[0089] Optionally, in some embodiments, after S23, the control method for the dimming glass further includes the following steps: starting a timer, and when the accumulated time exceeds a preset time, sending a second control command to the dimming glass. The second control command is used to instruct the dimming glass to change from an opaque state to a transparent state.

[0090] For example, the preset duration can be the default setting of the electronic device, or it can be preset by the user based on the actual time needed for taking off and washing clothes, or it can be confirmed by the electronic device based on the historical time of taking off and washing clothes collected in advance. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0091] For example, assuming the preset duration is 30 minutes, after the electronic device sends a first control command to the dimming glass, it starts timing. When the accumulated duration reaches 30 minutes, it sends a second control command to the dimming glass so that the dimming glass can subsequently adjust from an opaque state to a translucent state upon receiving the second control command.

[0092] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first control command may further include indicating the duration for which the dimming glass remains opaque.

[0093] For example, assuming the duration is 30 minutes, the electronic device sends a first control command to the dimming glass so that after receiving the first control command, the dimming glass will adjust the transparent state to an opaque state, and after remaining in the opaque state for 30 minutes, adjust the opaque state back to a transparent state.

[0094] In the above embodiments, the electronic device controls the duration of the dimming glass in an opaque state by sending a first control command or a second control command to the dimming device. This allows the dimming glass to be adjusted back to its normal opaque state after the user has changed clothes, without requiring manual settings by the user, thus providing greater convenience and ensuring a better user experience.

[0095] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the dimming glass is installed in a window, after S203, the control method for the dimming glass further includes the following steps: obtaining the open / closed state of the window where the dimming glass is located; when the open / closed state is open, sending a closing command to the IoT window opener corresponding to the window. The closing command is used to instruct the window to close.

[0096] For example, each window in the balcony is equipped with a corresponding IoT window opener. Assume there are two windows on the balcony, window A and window B. Window A is equipped with IoT window opener A, and window B is equipped with IoT window opener B. Window A is open, and window B is closed. After sending a first control command to the dimming glass in windows A and B respectively, the electronic device obtains the open / closed status of windows A and B. When the open / closed status of window A is obtained, a closing command is sent to IoT window opener A. Upon receiving the closing command, IoT window opener A closes window A.

[0097] In this embodiment, the open window is further closed based on its open / closed status, further protecting the user's privacy and eliminating the need for the user to manually close the window, thus improving convenience.

[0098] Optionally, in some embodiments, the user's motion parameters also include the rate of change of body temperature, and the motion parameter threshold corresponding to the rate of change of body temperature is the body temperature change threshold.

[0099] For example, let's take an infrared imaging camera as an example of an infrared detection device. The infrared signal projected when a person is clothed is significantly weaker than when their skin is bare. When a user undresses, a large area of ​​their body is exposed, and the monitored infrared signal rapidly increases, indicating a greater rate of change in the user's body temperature. The system uses an infrared detection device to acquire the user's body temperature and processes it to obtain the rate of change. When the rate of change exceeds a threshold, indicating that the user is undressing, a first control command is generated and sent to the dimming glass. This allows the dimming glass to quickly adjust to an opaque state based on the first control command.

[0100] Optionally, the motion parameters may also include the exposed area of ​​the body skin, and the motion parameter threshold corresponding to the exposed area of ​​the body skin is the exposed area threshold of the body skin.

[0101] For example, after the fitness equipment is turned off, the electronic device collects infrared signals from the detection area through an infrared detection device, processes the infrared signals to obtain the exposed area of ​​the user's skin, and when the exposed area of ​​the skin exceeds the skin exposure threshold, it means that the user is undressing, generates a first control command, and sends it to the dimming glass.

[0102] Optionally, after sending the first control command, the electronic device can also acquire the user's body temperature and / or body temperature change rate in real time through an infrared detection device. When the user's body temperature and / or body temperature change rate is lower than the corresponding preset body temperature threshold and / or body temperature change rate threshold, a third control command is generated and sent to the dimming glass so that the dimming glass can adjust its state to transparent according to the third control command.

[0103] Among them, the body temperature threshold, the body temperature change rate, and the body skin exposed area threshold can be parameters pre-stored in the electronic device, or they can be parameters manually set by the user according to their actual situation. This application embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on them.

[0104] Optionally, in some embodiments, the control method for the dimming glass further includes the following steps: when it is impossible to obtain a moving infrared signal in the corresponding detection area by an infrared detection device, a fourth control command is generated and sent to the dimming glass.

[0105] The fourth control command is used to instruct the dimming glass to change from an opaque state to a transparent state.

[0106] For example, when the user finishes undressing and leaves the detection area of ​​the infrared detection device, the device can no longer detect the movement of infrared signals within the detection area. The electronic device then generates a fourth control command and sends it to the dimming glass. The dimming glass then adjusts from an opaque state to a transparent state according to the fourth control command.

[0107] Optionally, in some embodiments, the exercise parameter may also be the user's heart rate, or other parameters in the prior art used to characterize the user's exercise intensity. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
