[0051] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present disclosure, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present invention. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0053] With the development of intelligent technology, smart home appliances have begun to enter thousands of households, improving people's quality of life. As an important household appliance, washing machines have been applied with many advanced intelligent technologies. Among them, smart devices automatically identify the attributes of the laundry to determine the washing mode.
[0054] In the prior art, a camera is usually installed inside the washing tub of a washing machine to collect image information of the clothes to be washed placed in the washing tub. The attribute information of the clothes is identified through the collected image information, and then the washing mode is determined based on the attribute information. The clothes to be washed are washed using the selected washing mode.
[0055] However, this method uses an internal camera to identify the attributes of clothes placed in the washing tub, which may lead to inaccurate identification of the attributes of the clothes and poor effect in distinguishing clothes that cannot be washed together, causing clothes that cannot be washed together to be washed at the same time, thereby damaging the clothes.
[0056] To address these issues, the inventors discovered that by installing a visual sensor on the outside of the washing machine to capture image information of the clothes before they are placed in the wash tub, the quality of the image capture can be improved, thereby increasing the accuracy of clothing attribute recognition. After performing attribute recognition on the captured clothing images, the attributes are first determined based on the attribute recognition results to determine whether the clothes can be washed together. Then, the washing mode is further determined for the clothes that can be washed together. This invention solution uses a visual sensor installed on the outside of the washing machine to capture clothing image information, processes the clothing image information to determine the clothes that can be washed together, and then determines the washing mode. This improves the accuracy of clothing attribute recognition and avoids damage to clothes that cannot be washed together.
[0057] The laundry control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by the laundry control device provided in the embodiment of the present application. The laundry control device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be part of or all of the washing machine. Figure 1 This is an exemplary application scenario diagram provided by the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the laundry control method provided in this embodiment can be applied to a washing machine 11. The user places the laundry within the imaging range of the visual sensor 12, and the visual sensor 12 collects image information of the laundry. This embodiment of the application does not limit the type of washing machine. For example, the types of washing machines may include pulsator washing machines, drum washing machines, and agitator washing machines. This embodiment of the application also does not limit the number of visual sensors. For example, the number of visual sensors can be one or more.
[0058] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a laundry control method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be executed by a laundry control device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware. For example, the device can be part or all of a washing machine. The laundry control method is described below with the washing machine as the execution subject. Figure 2 As shown, the laundry control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include:
[0059] S21. Acquire image information of at least one piece of laundry collected by a visual sensor, where the visual sensor is disposed outside the washing machine;
[0060] In this embodiment, a visual sensor disposed on the outside of the washing machine collects image information of the laundry to improve the quality of the collected image. This embodiment of the application does not limit the number of visual sensors, as long as the image collection quality requirements can be met. This embodiment of the application is merely an example and is not intended to be limiting.
[0061] The user places one or more pieces of laundry to be washed within the range of the visual sensor, which then captures images of the laundry. In one possible implementation, multiple visual sensors simultaneously capture images of the laundry, and the image with the best quality is selected. This embodiment of the present application is merely an example and is not intended to be limiting.
[0062] S22, determining attribute data of the laundry to be washed based on the image information;
[0063] The acquired image information of the laundry to be washed is processed. Since the image information center contains features related to the laundry attributes, the attribute information related to the attributes in the image is extracted, and the attribute data of the laundry to be washed is determined based on the extracted feature information. This embodiment of the application does not limit the amount and type of attribute data. In one possible implementation, the attribute data can be any one or more of the material, color, and type of the laundry. This embodiment of the application is merely an example and is not limited to this.
[0064] S23. If there are multiple pieces of clothing to be washed, determine target clothing that can be washed together and corresponding washing modes based on the attribute data;
[0065] When there are multiple pieces of laundry to be washed, it is first necessary to determine target laundry items that can be washed together based on the attribute data of each piece of laundry. Since laundry items to be washed together have the same or similar attributes, while laundry items that cannot be washed together have significantly different attributes, the laundry items that can be washed together can be determined based on the attribute data. In one possible implementation, a pre-stored mapping relationship of attribute information for each piece of laundry that cannot be washed together is obtained; the attribute data of each piece of laundry to be washed is compared with the mapping relationship; if it is determined that the attribute data of at least two pieces of laundry to be washed does not match any of the mapping relationships, then the at least two pieces of laundry to be washed are determined to be target laundry items that can be washed together. This embodiment of the present application is merely an example and is not limited thereto.
[0066] After determining the laundry items that can be washed together, there may be more than one type of target laundry items that can be washed together, and the different types of target laundry items need to be washed separately. Therefore, it is necessary to inform the user of the classification of each type of target laundry item. In one possible implementation, identification information of each type of target laundry item that can be washed together is pushed to the user. After informing the user of the identification information of each type of target laundry item that can be washed together, the washing machine needs to receive the identification information of the target laundry items that can be washed together that are triggered by the user and placed in the washing machine.
[0067] After determining the target items that can be washed together, it is necessary to further determine the corresponding washing mode for the target items. The washing mode is determined based on the attribute data of the items that can be washed together. In one possible implementation, the attribute data is input into a pattern prediction model that has been trained to convergence. The trained pattern prediction model predicts the washing mode based on the attribute information and outputs the corresponding washing mode. This embodiment of the present application is merely an example and is not limited thereto.
[0068] S24: Determine target clothes that can be washed together and put them into the washing machine, and control the washing machine to perform washing according to the corresponding washing mode.
[0069] The aforementioned steps determine the target clothes that can be washed together and the corresponding washing modes. In this step, the washing machine washes the target clothes that can be washed together according to the corresponding washing modes. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number and type of washing modes. In one possible implementation, the washing mode can be at least one of the following: number of washes, washing time, washing water volume, washing speed, washing water temperature, number of rinses, rinse time, rinse water volume, rinse speed, rinse water temperature, number of spins, spin time, and spin speed. The embodiment of the present application uses this as an example only and is not limited thereto.
[0070] It should be noted that after the washing mode of the clothes to be washed is determined, it is necessary to receive a start instruction triggered by the user, and after determining to perform the washing process, the washing machine is controlled to perform the process according to the corresponding washing mode.
[0071] In this embodiment, image information of at least one piece of clothing to be washed is acquired by a visual sensor; attribute data of the clothing to be washed is determined based on the image information; if there are multiple pieces of clothing to be washed, target clothing that can be washed together and the corresponding washing mode are determined based on the attribute data; target clothing that can be washed together is determined and placed in the washing machine, and the washing machine is controlled to perform washing according to the corresponding washing mode, thereby improving the accuracy of clothing attribute recognition and avoiding damage to clothing caused by washing clothes that cannot be washed at the same time together.
[0072] It can be seen that the laundry control method provided in this embodiment improves the quality of image information by obtaining image information of the clothes to be washed through a visual sensor outside the washing machine compared to the prior art, and determines the clothes to be washed that can be washed together and the corresponding washing mode based on the image information, thereby avoiding damage to the clothes by washing clothes that cannot be washed together together.
[0073] In an alternative embodiment, in the above Figure 2 Based on the examples, Figure 3 Flowchart of another laundry control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 2 Based on the S21 and before, it also includes:
[0074] S25. Receive an image acquisition instruction of the laundry to be washed triggered by the user; according to the image acquisition instruction, control the human body sensing sensor to sense the user; if the user is sensed to be within the preset range of the visual sensor, control the visual sensor to capture image information of at least one piece of laundry to be washed.
[0075] Unlike the previous embodiment, in this embodiment, the visual sensor must receive a user-triggered image acquisition command before it begins capturing images to avoid capturing invalid image information. The human presence sensor then senses the surrounding user. When the user appears within the visual sensor's preset range, the visual sensor begins capturing images of the laundry. This method prevents the visual sensor from starting image acquisition too early, which could result in capturing invalid images.
[0076] Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of a laundry control device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the laundry control device of this embodiment includes: an image acquisition module 51, a data determination module 52, a mode determination module 53 and a laundry control module 54;

[0079] The mode determination module 53 is configured to determine target clothes that can be washed together and corresponding washing modes according to the attribute data if there are multiple pieces of clothes to be washed;
[0080] The laundry control module 54 is used to determine target laundry items that can be washed together and put into the washing machine, and control the washing machine to perform laundry processing according to a corresponding laundry mode.
[0081] In one possible embodiment, the pattern determination module 53 is specifically used to obtain a pre-stored mapping relationship of attribute information of each piece of clothing that cannot be washed together; compare the attribute data of each piece of clothing to be washed with the mapping relationship; if it is determined that the attribute data of at least two pieces of clothing to be washed do not match any of the mapping relationships, then determine that the at least two pieces of clothing to be washed are target clothing that can be washed together.
[0082] The mode determination module 53 is further configured to input the attribute data into a mode prediction model trained to convergence; predict a laundry mode based on the attribute information through the mode prediction model trained to convergence, and output a corresponding laundry mode.
[0083] The present invention provides a laundry control device, which obtains image information of at least one piece of clothing to be washed collected by a visual sensor, wherein the visual sensor is arranged on the outside of the washing machine; determines attribute data of the clothing to be washed based on the image information; if there are multiple pieces of clothing to be washed, determines target clothing that can be washed together and a corresponding washing mode based on the attribute data; determines the target clothing that can be washed together and is placed in the washing machine, and controls the washing machine to perform laundry processing according to the corresponding washing mode, thereby improving the accuracy of clothing attribute recognition and avoiding damage to clothing that cannot be washed together.
