Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of control of clothing processing equipment, and in particular to a control method, system and equipment for clothing processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, after a laundry process in a laundry processing device such as a washing machine finishes washing, the user often goes out or forgets to dry the clothes in time even though he is at home. In order to prevent the clothes from staying in the drum of a laundry processing device such as a washing machine for a long time after washing, which may cause wrinkles or odors on the clothes, in the prior art, some equipment manufacturers will determine whether the user's smart terminal associated with the device (communicationally connected and able to control the device) is at home or away after washing is completed, or pre-set on the control panel of the device whether to add shaking and / or drying functions to handle the problem. However, if the user forgets the smart terminal at home or the device control APP is installed on a smart terminal that the user does not carry with him, such as a tablet, the washing machine will mistakenly judge that the user is at home, and directly unlock the door after the washing process is completed, resulting in the inability to perform subsequent shaking and / or drying programs; or the user plans to go out when setting the washing program, so the program is set to shake and dry after the washing is completed, but the user does not go out later for various reasons. If the preset control logic is still followed, the user will continue to shake and / or dry after the washing is completed when the user is at home, which is not only inconvenient for the user, but also wastes electricity resources. In other words, the existing post-washing processing control method of clothing processing equipment still has the defects of being inflexible, imperfect, and high energy consumption.

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned defects, a new control method for clothing processing equipment is needed. After the clothing processing equipment finishes washing, whether the user is out or at home, it can execute control logic based on simple, convenient and fast execution according to the user's wishes and actual needs, so as to realize intelligent control of subsequent shaking and / or drying operations after washing, and / or automatically unlock the machine door to wait for clothes to be taken out for drying, etc., thereby ensuring that even due to complex changes in the user's usage habits, the randomness / uncertainty of the user being at home or out, etc., a good human-computer interaction experience can be obtained between the device and the user, the operation is simple and convenient, not complicated and cumbersome, and it also has the characteristics of low power consumption, low cost, and strong reliability.

[0126] In order to facilitate the understanding of the invention, the present invention will be described in more comprehensive and detailed manner in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments below. However, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0127] In the description of the present invention, "module" and "processor" may include hardware, software or a combination of the two. A module may include hardware circuits, various suitable sensors, communication ports, and memories, and may also include software parts, such as program codes, or a combination of software and hardware. The processor may be a central processing unit, a microprocessor, an image processor, a digital signal processor, or any other suitable processor. The processor has data and / or signal processing functions. The processor may be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination of the two. Non-temporary computer-readable storage media include any suitable medium that can store program codes, such as a magnetic disk, a hard disk, an optical disk, a flash memory, a read-only memory, a random access memory, and the like. The term "A and / or B" means all possible combinations of A and B, such as only A, only B, or A and B. The term "at least one A or B" or "at least one of A and B" has a similar meaning to "A and / or B", and may include only A, only B, or A and B. The singular terms "one" and "the" may also include plural forms.

[0128] At present, in order to avoid the undesirable consequences such as wrinkles or odor caused by clothes being left in the clothing processing equipment for a long time without being processed, the clothing processing equipment determines whether to add the shaking and / or drying function after washing by judging whether the user is at home or away through the distance or communication connection method of the smart terminal associated with the clothing processing equipment or the pre-setting on the equipment panel. However, clothing processing equipment will face various random situations in actual operation: different users have different usage habits, and may not pre-set or carry the smart terminal of the associated device with them (for example, the control APP of the device is installed on the Pad, but the mobile phone is not brought with the Pad when going out, etc.); it is also common for users to change their itineraries due to various other sudden reasons. This often leads to the control of existing clothing processing equipment is still not intelligent enough, and only mechanically executes the machine program, which also wastes resources and electricity, and thus also gives users a poor human-computer interaction experience.

[0129] In this regard, a control scheme for a clothes processing device and a clothes processing device using the scheme are proposed.

[0130] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a main flow chart of an embodiment of a method for controlling a laundry treating apparatus according to the present invention.

[0131] Step S110, after washing is finished, detecting whether the clothes processing device has pre-set the end of subsequent operations (such as shaking and / or drying operation items) when setting the current washing program and the current working mode of the clothes processing device.

[0132] The clothes processing device includes a washing machine, etc. The user can make settings in advance when starting to wash clothes. For example, when the washing program is completed, the clothes processing device prompts the user whether to set the shaking and / or drying operation to be performed after the washing is completed.

[0133] Specifically, the user can make pre-settings through the control panel or operation panel of the clothing processing device or the smart terminal associated with the device (such as a mobile phone, tablet, etc. with a device control program / App / applet installed) to set whether the clothing processing device performs the shaking and / or drying operations after washing. Among them, the control programs on these panels or smart terminals include but are not limited to program interfaces with prompts or wizard information that can realize human-computer interaction, or menus (such as virtual menus or hardware menus, etc.) or various function buttons (such as virtual buttons similar to soft keyboards or real physical buttons, etc.).

[0134] Furthermore, the washing programs selectable by the user also include daily washing, wool washing, cotton and linen washing, gentle washing or user-defined washing process, rinsing process, dehydration process, etc.

[0135] In one embodiment, taking the washing machine and the presetting on the control panel of the washing machine as an example: a function "end subsequent operation" is added to the interface, button or menu of the washing machine control panel, for example: the function can be a function option that can realize human-computer interaction in other ways such as buttons, menus or interactive interfaces. In one example, the function can include specific operation items such as "none / drying / shaking / drying + shaking" for users to choose; wherein, the factory setting of the device (for example: the washing machine) can be the default option "none"; further, the user can interact with the device to select the specific control processing in the function before starting the washing program, such as the above-mentioned operation items "drying", "shaking" or "drying + shaking", so that when the washing program is executed, it enters the "end subsequent operation" function, and according to the corresponding operation item selected in the previous presetting, the washing machine continues to execute the control processing of the clothes.

[0136] Similarly, the control program / App of the smart terminal can also add this function as the pre-setting on the control panel of the above-mentioned device washing machine, for example: add this function in the parameter adjustment item, and select one of the "none / drying / shaking / drying + shaking" operation items / operation items, and continue to perform control processing according to the operation item after the washing is completed. Similarly, the default option can be "none". The user controls the washing machine through the smart terminal. Before starting the washing program, the subsequent operation content after the washing is completed can be set, and the instruction is sent to the washing machine, that is, the smart terminal realizes remote setting and control, which is executed after the washing program is completed. The smart terminal includes the user's mobile terminal such as smart phones and smart pads. Here, the specific setting selection and the selection of the washing program and the execution after the washing program is completed can be similar to the setting and selection of the control panel. Further, when the washing machine itself is limited by the structure or control panel, the control program / App on the smart terminal can be used to add this function, and provide the user with the option of pre-setting, which is flexible, simple and convenient. This method is a single program setting / setting. Before starting the washing program, the user sets the subsequent operation items when the washing program ends, sends instructions to the device, and controls the device to execute and process these operation items after the program ends. Furthermore, in addition to the previous single program setting method (that is, a washing program is set and then the function is added for setting), the smart terminal can also provide a unified setting / setting entrance. When the unified setting switch of this function is turned on, all washing programs that meet the conditions will automatically perform subsequent operations after the washing ends. The setting switch can be a virtual button, menu or other interactive interface / window, etc. Unified setting can avoid setting each time a program is started, and setting once is common to all programs. Simple and convenient. This priority is lower than the single program setting.

[0137] The condition is met, which is the condition that the operation items set in the single program can be supported. For example, the programs for washing heavy clothes or cotton clothes can both be set with subsequent operation items such as drying and / or shaking. After the single program is set, you can confirm or give up the confirmation on whether to set it uniformly, so that the corresponding subsequent processing operation items can be directly set after the above two types of washing programs are selected. The choice of unified setting can be made through, for example, switch buttons, menus, interactive interfaces / windows / dialog boxes, etc.

[0138] Furthermore, since some washing program items do not support drying or shaking operations after washing, for example, woolen clothes cannot be dried after washing, that is, the drying operation item for woolen clothes is not supported; for example, the single dehydration washing method does not support the shaking operation item after washing. Therefore, after the corresponding washing program is selected, the added function will set the unmatched operation items to an unselectable state, such as a gray and unclickable state or a state without the option, so that there is no need to pre-set unsuitable operation items. In other words, different washing programs match different operation items that end subsequent operations.

[0139] Preferably, below, a method of presetting the function by a user through remote control of a smart terminal is taken as an example to illustrate the process of executing a pre-set scene.

[0140] S1. Enter the setting interface of the control program / App of the smart terminal, and the user selects a washing program.

[0141] S2, the laundry processing device / intelligent terminal determines whether the selected washing program supports subsequent operations after the laundry is finished. If it supports, it proceeds to step S3 for single program setting and judgment, otherwise it proceeds to step S5 to end the setting process of subsequent operations.

[0142] S3, executing the subsequent operation stage of single program setting, and judging whether the single program setting of the subsequent operation has been performed. The specific single program setting process is, for example, the description of the function "end subsequent operation" on the control panel or intelligent terminal, and the operation items after the washing is completed are pre-set; further, when the single program is set here, the specific operation items not supported by the washing program are not selectable. If the single program setting is performed, the unified setting and judgment of step S4 is entered, otherwise the setting process of the subsequent operation is ended in step S5.

[0143] S4, executing the unified setting stage of the subsequent operation of the washing program currently selected by the user, and judging whether the unified setting of the subsequent operation corresponding to the washing program has been performed, that is, the subsequent operation will be performed as long as the washing program is selected. If it has been uniformly set, for example, the button of the subsequent operation item "drying + shaking" of the strong washing program for heavy clothes is pressed or a pop-up dialog box is popped up, etc., the manual setting operation is ended, and the corresponding subsequent operation will be directly performed when the washing program is selected again, without pre-setting. If the unified setting switch is not turned on, the process goes to step S5 and ends.

[0144] Among them, the "end subsequent operations" function can be designed as an interactive function with other similar laundry / washing control options based on the actual structure, requirements, environment, etc. of the interactive object, which is a device or smart terminal, or it can be designed independently, such as separately listing a button, menu, pop-up interface / dialog box / selection box / window in the form of software or hardware, and is not limited by the method described above in the present invention.

[0145] Detect the record and / or status of the operation item of ending the subsequent operation when the current washing program is set, such as the selected status of the operation item of the function, the record stored after setting, etc.

[0146] The working modes of the clothes processing device include, for example, a work-at-home mode and an out-of-home mode. Furthermore, the clothes processing device is connected to the smart terminal for communication and can be remotely controlled through the smart terminal. For example, the working mode of the clothes processing device can be pre-set (manually set) through a control panel or an associated smart terminal.

[0147] Furthermore, in one example, the clothing processing device may not be pre-set, but dynamically set / automatically set or switch the working mode of the clothing processing device according to the distance relationship between the clothing processing device and the smart terminal or the communication connection method between the clothing processing device and the smart terminal. For example, when the distance between the clothing processing device and the smart terminal detected by the smart terminal is within a set range, the clothing processing device is in the home working mode; when the distance between the clothing processing device and the smart terminal detected by the smart terminal exceeds the set range, the clothing processing device is in the out-of-home working mode. Preferably, the positioning module of the smart terminal collects positioning information, determines the distance between the clothing processing device and the clothing processing device, and determines the working mode that the clothing processing device should be in according to whether the determined distance is within a set range (for example, if it is within the range, it indicates the home working mode, otherwise it indicates the out-of-home working mode, etc.), and sends information to the clothing processing device, and the clothing processing device controls to enter the corresponding working mode after receiving the information. For example: if the distance between the two is within a set range of five meters (for example, three meters, five meters, etc.), or if they are in the same local area network or home Internet of Things (for example, when the clothing processing device and the smart terminal are connected to the same local area network), the clothing processing device can enter the home work mode, otherwise it can enter the outdoor work mode.

[0148] Preferably, a positioning device and a network communication device can also be provided on the clothing processing device and the smart terminal. A first GPS or Beidou positioning device can be provided on the smart terminal, and a second GPS or Beidou positioning device can be provided on the clothing processing device. The network communication device can be a network communication device such as WiFi, 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G, etc. When calculating the distance between the two, the clothing processing device sends a user location status request to the smart terminal through the network communication device, and the smart terminal collects its location information and sends it to the clothing processing device. The clothing processing device calculates the distance difference based on the location information of the two; or, the clothing processing device is not provided with a GPS or Beidou positioning device, and the smart terminal collects the location information of the clothing processing device in advance, and then calculates the distance difference based on the location information of the two, and sends the distance difference to the clothing processing device. The range value is set to 30 meters. When the distance difference between the two is less than or equal to 30 meters, or the clothing processing device determines that it is in the same local area network as the smart terminal, the clothing processing device enters the home work mode; when the distance difference between the two is greater than 30 meters, the clothing processing device enters the out-of-home work mode.

[0149] The above preferred examples are not intended to limit the positioning and distance judgment of the present invention to determine which working mode to enter dynamically.

[0150] Step S120, controlling the processing operation of the clothes processing device after the current washing program is finished according to the detection result.

[0151] Specifically, the test result includes at least one of the following result situations, for example:

[0152] First, when setting the current washing program, the subsequent operations corresponding to the end of the current washing program (for example, shaking and / or drying operations) have been pre-set, and the clothing processing device is currently in the home working mode; second, when setting the current washing program, the subsequent operations corresponding to the end of the current washing program (for example, shaking and / or drying operations) have been pre-set, and the clothing processing device is currently in the out-of-home working mode; third, when setting the current washing program, the subsequent operations corresponding to the end of the current washing program (for example, shaking and / or drying operations) have not been pre-set, and the clothing processing device is currently in the home working mode; fourth, when setting the current washing program, the subsequent operations corresponding to the end of the current washing program (for example, shaking and / or drying operations) have not been pre-set, and the clothing processing device is currently in the out-of-home working mode.

[0153] In one embodiment, after the washing program is finished, if the detection result is the first situation, the control device will process the operation after the washing program is finished. An example is: the device prompts the user that the washing program has been completed, and it is currently determined to be in the work-at-home mode, whether to cancel the subsequent operation of the end as originally set, such as executing the shaking and / or drying operation items; if the user gives feedback to the prompt within a preset time, such as giving a feedback message to confirm the cancellation, then the processing of the operation item selected in the subsequent operation function of the end of the washing program previously preset can be canceled, and then the device is unlocked, such as unlocking the door of the washing machine, etc., waiting for the user's subsequent drying; if the user does not give feedback to the prompt within a preset time, such as no feedback information is obtained after the timeout or the user feedback information is not to cancel, then the processing of the operation item selected in the subsequent operation function of the end of the washing program previously preset corresponding to the current end is not canceled, and the set operation items such as drying and / or shaking are executed.

[0154] Among them, the prompt method can be in various forms, visual, tactile, or sound effects can be used, such as: text messages, pop-up dialog boxes to smart terminals, vibration, beep, dynamic display of graphics and images, various voices and prompt sounds (such as smart voice playback, etc.), light effects (such as flashing indicator lights), etc., and one or more combinations of these forms. The user's feedback can include various interactive operations on these prompts, dialog boxes on smart terminals or button selections on device control panels, menu operations, operations on interactive interfaces / windows, etc., and these feedback information are obtained / confirmed by the device, triggering the execution of the next step of processing.

[0155] Furthermore, in one embodiment, before the preset time for the user to provide a feedback message in response to the prompt arrives, a short time period or cycle can be set to re-detect the current working mode of the device. The detection can still be detected and judged by the distance or communication method between the device and the associated smart terminal, and then enter the mode. If the working mode detected again is different from the previous mode, such as the out-of-town working mode, it is switched to the out-of-town working mode, i.e., the second case, and the user is prompted again to indicate how long (set as needed) it will take for the device to be directly controlled to execute the processing of the end subsequent operation after the end of the corresponding current washing program. If there is no feedback information or a non-cancellation feedback information is obtained after the time length of the re-prompt, the processing of the end subsequent operation is executed. Otherwise, the corresponding processing is performed according to the user's feedback information, such as canceling the end subsequent operation.

[0156] In one embodiment, after the washing program is finished, if the detection result is the second situation, the control device performs the processing operation after the washing program is finished. An example is: entering the processing of the out-of-home working mode, directly executing the operation item selected in the function of the subsequent operation after the washing is finished that is preset corresponding to the washing program currently finished, such as shaking and / or drying.

[0157] In one embodiment, after the washing program is finished, if the detection result is the third situation, the control device is controlled to perform processing operations after the washing program is finished. An example is: entering the work-at-home mode, directly unlocking the device after the washing is finished, such as unlocking the door of the washing machine to wait for the user to process and use, such as taking out clothes for drying.

[0158] In one embodiment, after the washing program is finished, if the detection result is the fourth situation, the control device performs the processing operation after the washing program is finished. An example is: when entering the out-of-home working mode, the clothing processing device remains temporarily locked, such as the door of the washing machine is still temporarily locked, so as to wait for the smart terminal to issue a control instruction within a preset time, such as whether to execute the subsequent operation corresponding to the currently finished washing program (such as executing a newly selected or newly set operation item such as shaking and / or drying, etc.).

[0159] Furthermore, when the washing program is temporarily locked after the washing program is finished, the device can first send a prompt to the user to prompt the end of the washing program. The prompt includes the situation described in the first scenario above. Preferably, the prompt is provided to the smart terminal associated with the device for remote control. The user gives feedback based on the prompt, such as providing feedback information to confirm whether to set a function to end subsequent operations, such as whether to select the drying and / or shaking operation items in the function, and then send the control instructions for the setting of the function to the device. The feedback method and feedback information refer to the situation described in the first scenario above.

[0160] For example: if the user confirms that he wants to set the function of ending subsequent operations and then selects and sets the operation items, and the smart terminal feedbacks information within a preset time after receiving the prompt, such as determining that he wants to end the subsequent operations, and sends the relevant control instructions for setting the function of ending the subsequent operations of the currently ended washing program (such as drying and / or shaking out operation items) to the device, then the device executes the subsequent operations (drying and / or shaking out, etc.) that have just been set for the currently ended washing program; or, if the user confirms that he wants to set the function of ending subsequent operations, the smart terminal feedbacks information within a preset time after receiving the prompt, such as determining the control instructions to be set, and then waits for the smart terminal to enter the setting and selection of the operation items of ending the subsequent operations of the corresponding washing program within another preset time (such as entering the setting interface / window / control program selection button menu, etc. to complete the setting), and then after waiting for the setting to be completed, sends the control instructions for the subsequent operations that have just been set to the device, and then the device executes the subsequent operations (drying and / or shaking out, etc.) that have just been set.

[0161] Furthermore, in one embodiment, before the preset time for the user to provide a feedback message in response to the prompt arrives, a short time period or cycle can be set to re-detect the current working mode of the device. The detection can still be detected and judged by the distance or communication method between the device and the associated smart terminal and then enter the mode. If the working mode detected again is different from the previous mode, for example, it is the work-at-home mode, then it is switched to the work-at-home mode, that is, the third case, and the user is prompted again to know how long (set as needed) it will take to directly control the device to unlock the device, for example, to release the locked state of the washing machine door and wait for the user's processing and use; and if there is no feedback information after the specified time length of the re-prompt is reached or a message is received to confirm that the subsequent operation is not set to end, the unlocking is executed, otherwise the corresponding processing is performed according to the user's feedback information, for example, the operation item to be set is clarified, and then the subsequent operation function corresponding to the currently ended washing program is set and executed.

[0162] For example: if the user confirms that there is no need to set the function to end subsequent operations and provides feedback to the device, that is, it is clear that no subsequent operations are required, or if no feedback is received after waiting for the predetermined length of time after the prompt is issued, the device can be unlocked, such as unlocking the washing machine door, etc., to end the operation of the washing machine without executing the corresponding subsequent operation items.

[0163] The solution of the present invention can ensure that after the washing process of the laundry processing device, such as a washing machine, is completed, whether the user is out or at home, it can still ensure that according to the user's wishes and the actual user needs that change at any time, it can intelligently control whether to perform subsequent operation items such as shaking and / or drying, or completely end the washing work and automatically unlock the door of the device, etc., waiting for the user to take out the clothes to dry, and combine the working mode and pre-setting, as well as remote interaction, to improve the human-computer interaction, simply and conveniently realize the control, more in line with the random changes of the actual situation, reduce power consumption, reduce costs, have stronger reliability, and optimize the control logic. Specifically, after the washing is finished, the present invention determines whether the laundry processing device sets subsequent operation items such as shaking and / or drying during the washing process by detecting and judging whether the laundry processing device and the intelligent terminal are connected to the same local area network, or the distance between the laundry processing device and the laundry processing device is within the set range by collecting positioning information through the positioning module of the intelligent terminal, and the current working mode of the laundry processing device is detected, and according to the above detection results, the laundry processing device is controlled to enter the corresponding working mode after the current washing process is completed.

[0164] It should be pointed out that although the various steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art can understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not have to be performed in such an order. They can be performed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders. These changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0165] See attached Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a structural block diagram of an embodiment of a control system for a laundry processing device according to the present invention. The system at least comprises:

[0166] The detection module 210 is used to detect, after the washing is finished, whether the clothing processing device has pre-set the end of subsequent operations (such as shaking and / or drying operation items) when setting the current washing program and the current working mode of the clothing processing device.

[0167] The clothes processing device includes a washing machine, etc. The user can make settings in advance when starting to wash clothes. For example, when the washing program is completed, the clothes processing device prompts the user whether to set the shaking and / or drying operation to be performed after the washing is completed.

[0168] Specifically, the user can make pre-settings through the control panel or operation panel of the clothing processing device or the smart terminal associated with the device (such as a mobile phone, tablet, etc. with a device control program / App / applet installed) to set whether the clothing processing device performs the shaking and / or drying operations after washing. Among them, the control programs on these panels or smart terminals include but are not limited to program interfaces with prompts or wizard information that can realize human-computer interaction, or menus (such as virtual menus or hardware menus, etc.) or various function buttons (such as virtual buttons similar to soft keyboards or real physical buttons, etc.).

[0169] Furthermore, the washing programs selectable by the user also include daily washing, wool washing, cotton and linen washing, gentle washing or user-defined washing process, rinsing process, dehydration process, etc.

[0170] In one embodiment, taking the washing machine and the presetting on the control panel of the washing machine as an example: a function "end subsequent operation" is added to the interface, button or menu of the washing machine control panel, for example: the function can be a function option that can realize human-computer interaction in other ways such as buttons, menus or interactive interfaces. In one example, the function can include specific operation items such as "none / drying / shaking / drying + shaking" for users to choose; wherein, the factory setting of the device (for example: the washing machine) can be the default option "none"; further, the user can interact with the device to select the specific control processing in the function before starting the washing program, such as the above-mentioned operation items "drying", "shaking" or "drying + shaking", so that when the washing program is executed, it enters the "end subsequent operation" function, and according to the corresponding operation item selected in the previous presetting, the washing machine continues to execute the control processing of the clothes.

[0171] Similarly, the control program / App of the smart terminal can also add this function as the pre-setting on the control panel of the above-mentioned device washing machine, for example: add this function in the parameter adjustment item, and select one of the "none / drying / shaking / drying + shaking" operation items / operation items, and continue to perform control processing according to the operation item after the washing is completed. Similarly, the default option can be "none". The user controls the washing machine through the smart terminal. Before starting the washing program, the subsequent operation content after the washing is completed can be set, and the instruction is sent to the washing machine, that is, the smart terminal realizes remote setting and control, which is executed after the washing program is completed. The smart terminal includes the user's mobile terminal such as smart phones and smart pads. Here, the specific setting selection and the selection of the washing program and the execution after the washing program is completed can be similar to the setting and selection of the control panel. Further, when the washing machine itself is limited by the structure or control panel, the control program / App on the smart terminal can be used to add this function, and provide the user with the option of pre-setting, which is flexible, simple and convenient. This method is a single program setting / setting. Before starting the washing program, the user sets the subsequent operation items when the washing program ends, sends instructions to the device, and controls the device to execute and process these operation items after the program ends. Furthermore, in addition to the previous single program setting method (that is, a washing program is set and then the function is added for setting), the smart terminal can also provide a unified setting / setting entrance. When the unified setting switch of this function is turned on, all washing programs that meet the conditions will automatically perform subsequent operations after the washing ends. The setting switch can be a virtual button, menu or other interactive interface / window, etc. Unified setting can avoid setting each time a program is started, and setting once is common to all programs. Simple and convenient. This priority is lower than the single program setting.

[0172] The condition is met, which is the condition that the operation items set in the single program can be supported. For example, the programs for washing heavy clothes or cotton clothes can both be set with subsequent operation items such as drying and / or shaking. After the single program is set, you can confirm or give up the confirmation on whether to set it uniformly, so that the corresponding subsequent processing operation items can be directly set after the above two types of washing programs are selected. The choice of unified setting can be made through, for example, switch buttons, menus, interactive interfaces / windows / dialog boxes, etc.

[0173] Furthermore, since some washing program items do not support drying or shaking operations after washing, for example, woolen clothes cannot be dried after washing, that is, the drying operation item for woolen clothes is not supported; for example, the single dehydration washing method does not support the shaking operation item after washing. Therefore, after the corresponding washing program is selected, the added function will set the unmatched operation items to an unselectable state, such as a gray and unclickable state or a state without the option, so that there is no need to pre-set unsuitable operation items. In other words, different washing programs match different operation items that end subsequent operations.

[0174] Preferably, below, a method of presetting the function by a user through remote control of a smart terminal is taken as an example to illustrate the process of executing a pre-set scene.

[0175] S1. Enter the setting interface of the control program / App of the smart terminal, and the user selects a washing program.

[0176] S2, the laundry processing device / intelligent terminal determines whether the selected washing program supports subsequent operations after the laundry is finished. If it supports, it proceeds to step S3 for single program setting and judgment, otherwise it proceeds to step S5 to end the setting process of subsequent operations.

[0177] S3, executing the subsequent operation stage of single program setting, and judging whether the single program setting of the subsequent operation has been performed. The specific single program setting process is, for example, the description of the function "end subsequent operation" on the control panel or intelligent terminal, and the operation items after the washing is completed are pre-set; further, when the single program is set here, the specific operation items not supported by the washing program are not selectable. If the single program setting is performed, the unified setting and judgment of step S4 is entered, otherwise the setting process of the subsequent operation is ended in step S5.

[0178] S4, executing the unified setting stage of the subsequent operation of the washing program currently selected by the user, and judging whether the unified setting of the subsequent operation corresponding to the washing program has been performed, that is, the subsequent operation will be performed as long as the washing program is selected. If it has been uniformly set, for example, the button of the subsequent operation item "drying + shaking" of the strong washing program for heavy clothes is pressed or a pop-up dialog box is popped up, etc., the manual setting operation is ended, and the corresponding subsequent operation will be directly performed when the washing program is selected again, without pre-setting. If the unified setting switch is not turned on, the process goes to step S5 and ends.

[0179] Among them, the "end subsequent operations" function can be designed as an interactive function with other similar laundry / washing control options based on the actual structure, requirements, environment, etc. of the interactive object, which is a device or smart terminal, or it can be designed independently, such as separately listing a button, menu, pop-up interface / dialog box / selection box / window in the form of software or hardware, and is not limited by the method described above in the present invention.

[0180] Detect the record and / or status of the operation item of ending the subsequent operation when the current washing program is set, such as the selected status of the operation item of the function, the record stored after setting, etc.

[0181] The working modes of the clothes processing device include, for example, a work-at-home mode and an out-of-home mode. Furthermore, the clothes processing device is connected to the smart terminal for communication and can be remotely controlled through the smart terminal. For example, the working mode of the clothes processing device can be pre-set (manually set) through a control panel or an associated smart terminal.

[0182] Furthermore, in one example, the clothing processing device may not be pre-set, but dynamically set / automatically set or switch the working mode of the clothing processing device according to the distance relationship between the clothing processing device and the smart terminal or the communication connection method between the clothing processing device and the smart terminal. For example, when the distance between the clothing processing device and the smart terminal detected by the smart terminal is within a set range, the clothing processing device is in the home working mode; when the distance between the clothing processing device and the smart terminal detected by the smart terminal exceeds the set range, the clothing processing device is in the out-of-home working mode. Preferably, the positioning module of the smart terminal collects positioning information, determines the distance between the clothing processing device and the clothing processing device, and determines the working mode that the clothing processing device should be in according to whether the determined distance is within a set range (for example, if it is within the range, it indicates the home working mode, otherwise it indicates the out-of-home working mode, etc.), and sends information to the clothing processing device, and the clothing processing device controls to enter the corresponding working mode after receiving the information. For example: if the distance between the two is within a set range of five meters (for example, three meters, five meters, etc.), or if they are in the same local area network or home Internet of Things (for example, when the clothing processing device and the smart terminal are connected to the same local area network), the clothing processing device can enter the home work mode, otherwise it can enter the outdoor work mode.

[0183] Preferably, a positioning device and a network communication device can also be provided on the clothing processing device and the smart terminal. A first GPS or Beidou positioning device can be provided on the smart terminal, and a second GPS or Beidou positioning device can be provided on the clothing processing device. The network communication device can be a network communication device such as WiFi, 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G, etc. When calculating the distance between the two, the clothing processing device sends a user location status request to the smart terminal through the network communication device, and the smart terminal collects its location information and sends it to the clothing processing device. The clothing processing device calculates the distance difference based on the location information of the two; or, the clothing processing device is not provided with a GPS or Beidou positioning device, and the smart terminal collects the location information of the clothing processing device in advance, and then calculates the distance difference based on the location information of the two, and sends the distance difference to the clothing processing device. The range value is set to 30 meters. When the distance difference between the two is less than or equal to 30 meters, or the clothing processing device determines that it is in the same local area network as the smart terminal, the clothing processing device enters the home work mode; when the distance difference between the two is greater than 30 meters, the clothing processing device enters the out-of-home work mode.

[0184] The above preferred examples are not intended to limit the positioning and distance judgment of the present invention to determine which working mode to enter dynamically.

[0185] The control module 220 is used to control the processing operation of the clothes processing device after the current washing program is completed according to the detection result.

[0186] Specifically, the test result includes at least one of the following result situations, for example:

[0187] First, when setting the current washing program, the subsequent operations corresponding to the end of the current washing program (for example, shaking and / or drying operations) have been pre-set, and the clothing processing device is currently in the home working mode; second, when setting the current washing program, the subsequent operations corresponding to the end of the current washing program (for example, shaking and / or drying operations) have been pre-set, and the clothing processing device is currently in the out-of-home working mode; third, when setting the current washing program, the subsequent operations corresponding to the end of the current washing program (for example, shaking and / or drying operations) have not been pre-set, and the clothing processing device is currently in the home working mode; fourth, when setting the current washing program, the subsequent operations corresponding to the end of the current washing program (for example, shaking and / or drying operations) have not been pre-set, and the clothing processing device is currently in the out-of-home working mode.

[0188] In one embodiment, after the washing program is finished, if the detection result is the first situation, the control device will process the operation after the washing program is finished. An example is: the device prompts the user that the washing program has been completed, and it is currently determined to be in the work-at-home mode, whether to cancel the subsequent operation of the end as originally set, such as executing the shaking and / or drying operation items; if the user gives feedback to the prompt within a preset time, such as giving a feedback message to confirm the cancellation, then the processing of the operation item selected in the subsequent operation function of the end of the washing program previously preset can be canceled, and then the device is unlocked, such as unlocking the door of the washing machine, etc., waiting for the user's subsequent drying; if the user does not give feedback to the prompt within a preset time, such as no feedback information is obtained after the timeout or the user feedback information is not to cancel, then the processing of the operation item selected in the subsequent operation function of the end of the washing program previously preset corresponding to the current end is not canceled, and the set operation items such as drying and / or shaking are executed.

[0189] Among them, the prompt method can be in various forms, visual, tactile, or sound effects can be used, such as: text messages, pop-up dialog boxes to smart terminals, vibration, beep, dynamic display of graphics and images, various voices and prompt sounds (such as smart voice playback, etc.), light effects (such as flashing indicator lights), etc., and one or more combinations of these forms. The user's feedback can include various interactive operations on these prompts, dialog boxes on smart terminals or button selections on device control panels, menu operations, operations on interactive interfaces / windows, etc., and these feedback information are obtained / confirmed by the device, triggering the execution of the next step of processing.

[0190] Furthermore, in one embodiment, before the preset time for the user to provide a feedback message in response to the prompt arrives, a short time period or cycle can be set to re-detect the current working mode of the device. The detection can still be detected and judged by the distance or communication method between the device and the associated smart terminal, and then enter the mode. If the working mode detected again is different from the previous mode, such as the out-of-town working mode, it is switched to the out-of-town working mode, i.e., the second case, and the user is prompted again to indicate how long (set as needed) it will take for the device to be directly controlled to execute the processing of the end subsequent operation after the end of the corresponding current washing program. If there is no feedback information or a non-cancellation feedback information is obtained after the time length of the re-prompt, the processing of the end subsequent operation is executed. Otherwise, the corresponding processing is performed according to the user's feedback information, such as canceling the end subsequent operation.

[0191] In one embodiment, after the washing program is finished, if the detection result is the second situation, the control device performs the processing operation after the washing program is finished. An example is: entering the processing of the out-of-home working mode, directly executing the operation item selected in the function of the subsequent operation after the washing is finished that is preset corresponding to the washing program currently finished, such as shaking and / or drying.

[0192] In one embodiment, after the washing program is finished, if the detection result is the third situation, the control device is controlled to perform processing operations after the washing program is finished. An example is: entering the work-at-home mode, directly unlocking the device after the washing is finished, such as unlocking the door of the washing machine to wait for the user to process and use, such as taking out clothes for drying.

[0193] In one embodiment, after the washing program is finished, if the detection result is the fourth situation, the control device performs the processing operation after the washing program is finished. An example is: when entering the out-of-home working mode, the clothing processing device remains temporarily locked, such as the door of the washing machine is still temporarily locked, so as to wait for the smart terminal to issue a control instruction within a preset time, such as whether to execute the subsequent operation corresponding to the currently finished washing program (such as executing a newly selected or newly set operation item such as shaking and / or drying, etc.).

[0194] Furthermore, when the washing program is temporarily locked after the washing program is finished, the device can first send a prompt to the user to prompt the end of the washing program. The prompt includes the situation described in the first scenario above. Preferably, the prompt is provided to the smart terminal associated with the device for remote control. The user gives feedback based on the prompt, such as providing feedback information to confirm whether to set a function to end subsequent operations, such as whether to select the drying and / or shaking operation items in the function, and then send the control instructions for the setting of the function to the device. The feedback method and feedback information refer to the situation described in the first scenario above.

[0195] For example: if the user confirms that he wants to set the function of ending subsequent operations and then selects and sets the operation items, and the smart terminal feedbacks information within a preset time after receiving the prompt, such as determining that he wants to end the subsequent operations, and sends the relevant control instructions for setting the function of ending the subsequent operations of the currently ended washing program (such as drying and / or shaking out operation items) to the device, then the device executes the subsequent operations (drying and / or shaking out, etc.) that have just been set for the currently ended washing program; or, if the user confirms that he wants to set the function of ending subsequent operations, the smart terminal feedbacks information within a preset time after receiving the prompt, such as determining the control instructions to be set, and then waits for the smart terminal to enter the setting and selection of the operation items of ending the subsequent operations of the corresponding washing program within another preset time (such as entering the setting interface / window / control program selection button menu, etc. to complete the setting), and then after waiting for the setting to be completed, sends the control instructions for the subsequent operations that have just been set to the device, and then the device executes the subsequent operations (drying and / or shaking out, etc.) that have just been set.

[0196] Furthermore, in one embodiment, before the preset time for the user to provide a feedback message in response to the prompt arrives, a short time period or cycle can be set to re-detect the current working mode of the device. The detection can still be detected and judged by the distance or communication method between the device and the associated smart terminal and then enter the mode. If the working mode detected again is different from the previous mode, for example, it is the work-at-home mode, then it is switched to the work-at-home mode, that is, the third case, and the user is prompted again to know how long (set as needed) it will take to directly control the device to unlock the device, for example, to release the locked state of the washing machine door and wait for the user's processing and use; and if there is no feedback information after the specified time length of the re-prompt is reached or a message is received to confirm that the subsequent operation is not set to end, the unlocking is executed, otherwise the corresponding processing is performed according to the user's feedback information, for example, the operation item to be set is clarified, and then the subsequent operation function corresponding to the currently ended washing program is set and executed.

[0197] For example: if the user confirms that there is no need to set the function to end subsequent operations and provides feedback to the device, that is, it is clear that no subsequent operations are required, or if no feedback is received after waiting for the predetermined length of time after the prompt is issued, the device can be unlocked, such as unlocking the washing machine door, etc., to end the operation of the washing machine without executing the corresponding subsequent operation items.

[0198] See below Figure 3As shown, a schematic diagram of the control logic execution process of a method for controlling a laundry processing device according to an embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention is shown. Based on this example, the present invention further illustrates the process of combining whether the laundry processing device sets subsequent shaking and / or drying operations with the working mode to control the working state of the laundry processing device after washing is completed.

[0199] Take a washing machine as an example. After turning it on:

[0200] In step S310, the user is ready to wash clothes and needs to select a corresponding washing program. For example, when selecting a washing program, the user is prompted whether to set subsequent operations after washing. Preferably, if the user selects the function of the post-operation function for setting, the intelligent terminal can select the washing program and set subsequent operations according to the setting method of steps S1 to S5. Regardless of whether the setting is completed, the washing process is started after the washing program is selected to wash clothes.

[0201] Step S320, when the current washing program is completed, a detection is performed to determine whether the corresponding subsequent operation items after the current washing program is completed have been set. If the answer is "yes", the process proceeds to step S330; if the answer is "no", the process proceeds to step S340.

[0202] Step S330, detect the current working mode, if it is the work-at-home mode, proceed to step S3301, otherwise, if it is the work-out mode, proceed to step S3302.

[0203] Step S3301, enter the process of working from home mode, and prompt the user whether to cancel the process of the previously set subsequent operation. Among them, the prompt can be a message sent to the user's smart terminal, or a text message to the user's mobile communication device, or various voice signals, or graphics / images / light signals (flashing indicator lights) and other ways that can make the user notice and see. When the user who receives the prompt feedbacks the confirmation information of cancellation, for example, the dialog box sent to the user's smart terminal prompts the user, and the user clicks the button to confirm the cancellation, etc., then enter step S350, unlock the device, such as unlocking the washing machine door, etc., end the work of the washing machine and no longer execute the corresponding subsequent operation items; otherwise, when no feedback information is received, for example, after waiting for a predetermined length of time without receiving feedback or the user feedbacks the confirmation information of not canceling (such as clicking the button of not canceling, etc.), then enter step S360, and execute the subsequent operation items after the washing is completed that are pre-set corresponding to the washing program currently ended, such as shaking and / or drying.

[0204] Step S3302, entering the processing of the out-of-home working mode, directly executing the subsequent operation items after washing that are pre-set corresponding to the currently ended washing program, such as shaking and / or drying.

[0205] Step S340, detecting the current working mode. If it is the home working mode, then proceeding to step S3401, directly ending the washing, and then unlocking the device, for example, unlocking the washing machine door to wait for the user to use. Otherwise, if it is in the out-of-town working mode, the process goes to step S3402, temporarily keeping the device locked, such as locking the door of the washing machine, and prompting the user's remote smart terminal that the washing is finished, waiting for the user to remotely send a control instruction / control signal through the smart terminal to determine whether to set the subsequent operation items after the washing is finished to further control the processing of the clothes (such as shaking and / or drying, etc.), for example, sending a dialog box to the user's smart terminal to prompt it whether to set it, etc.; when no feedback information is received, for example, the user feedback information is to determine not to set the subsequent operation (such as clicking the "not set" button in the dialog box, etc.) or waiting for a predetermined length of time and still no feedback is obtained, the process goes to step S370, unlocking the device, such as unlocking the door of the washing machine, etc., ending the work of the washing machine without executing the corresponding subsequent operation items; otherwise, if the user feedbacks the information (such as clicking the option button for setting the subsequent operation in the dialog box, etc.), the process goes to step S380, entering the setting and selection of the operation items for ending the subsequent operation of the corresponding washing program (such as entering the setting interface / window / control program selection button menu, etc. to complete the setting), and then after waiting for the setting to be completed, executing the subsequent operation that has just been set corresponding to the currently ended washing program.

[0206] The working mode detection of the washing machine is determined by the distance judgment, communication connection, etc. between the aforementioned washing machine and the associated smart terminal, so as to detect the actual working mode after the current washing program ends and dynamically switch to the mode. Preferably, it is also possible to: perform a detection once at the end of washing, and then perform another judgment after a short period of time / cycle, so as to detect the current working mode more flexibly.
