[0062] The exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present application and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0063] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by technicians in the field to which this application belongs.

[0064] The following describes a smart shoe box and its control method, device, and storage medium proposed according to an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0065] The embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a smart shoe box, which can automatically identify the style, color, material, stain location, stain type, damage location, damage type, humidity information, microbial information and other condition information of the shoes placed in the smart shoe box. Based on the condition information of the shoes, the shoes are automatically cleaned, dried, sterilized, deodorized, damaged and repaired, which greatly improves the automation of the smart shoe box, achieves better care of the shoes and prolongs the service life of the shoes.

[0066] See also Figure 1 , the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0067] Step 101: Obtain status information of the shoes placed in the smart shoe box.

[0068] The embodiment of the present application is implemented by a smart shoe box, which is provided with a chamber for placing shoes, and the chamber can accommodate one or more pairs of shoes. The chamber can include only one space for storing shoes, or multiple subspaces can be separated by partitions, and each subspace can accommodate one or more pairs of shoes.

[0069] The smart shoe box is provided with an image acquisition device, which may be a color camera, an infrared camera, etc. The image acquisition device may be provided on the outer surface of the smart shoe box. Before the user puts the shoes into the smart shoe box, the user first places the shoes within the shooting range of the image acquisition device. The image acquisition device monitors its shooting range in real time. When the shoe is detected within its shooting range, the shoe is automatically photographed to obtain an image of the shoe.

[0070] Alternatively, the image acquisition device can also be set on the inner wall of the cavity of the smart shoe box and perform real-time monitoring of the cavity. When the user puts shoes into the smart shoe box, the image acquisition device can detect the presence of shoes in the cavity, and thus automatically capture the shoes to obtain a shoe image.

[0071] In another implementation, the image acquisition device may not perform real-time monitoring in the chamber, but instead set a pressure sensor in the plate in the chamber that is used to place shoes and is in contact with the soles. When the pressure sensor detects that shoes are placed on the plate, the image acquisition device is controlled to capture the shoes to obtain an image of the shoes.

[0072] In the case where the image acquisition device is arranged on the inner wall of the chamber, in order to improve the clarity of the captured shoe image, a lighting lamp may be arranged in the smart shoe box. When the smart shoe box detects that the door is opened, the lighting lamp is turned on to increase the ambient brightness in the chamber. Such an arrangement enables a clearer shoe image to be obtained when the image acquisition device captures the shoe.

[0073] The smart shoe box can automatically obtain shoe images through any of the above methods. The user only needs to place the shoes in the chamber of the smart shoe box without much user intervention, which improves the automation level of the smart shoe box in obtaining shoe information.

[0074] In some embodiments, the smart shoe box is pre-configured with an image processing algorithm. After obtaining the shoe image in the above manner, the pre-configured image processing algorithm is used to process the shoe image to identify one or more of the shoe style, material, stain location, damage location and damage type, etc. The identified information is determined as the shoe condition information.

[0075] Among them, the styles of shoes may include flat heels, wedge heels, high heels, pointed toes, square toes, round toes, etc. The materials of shoes may include leather shoes, cloth shoes, rubber shoes, plastic shoes, etc. The types of shoe damage may include scratches or abrasions, among which scratches may be strip-shaped scars, and abrasions may be large-area abrasions. Abrasions are usually caused by long-term friction between the sole and the ground.

[0076] It should be noted that the pre-set image processing algorithm is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, and the image processing algorithm is not the focus of protection of the present application. Any image processing algorithm in the prior art that can identify the above-mentioned features can be used as the pre-set image processing algorithm of the present application.

[0077] In some embodiments, the smart shoe box may also be provided with an odor sensor. When the image acquisition device or the pressure sensor detects that a shoe is placed in the chamber of the smart shoe box, the odor sensor is controlled to detect the odor information corresponding to the shoe. The smart shoe box may be pre-configured with a mapping relationship between different odor information and corresponding material composition information. After the smart shoe box obtains the odor information corresponding to the shoe, the corresponding material composition information is obtained from the above mapping relationship according to the odor information. When the smart shoe box performs image processing on the shoe image, the texture feature information of the stain is obtained. The stain type to which the stain at the above-identified stain position belongs is determined by combining the material composition information obtained based on the odor information and the texture feature information of the stain. The stain type corresponding to the stain position is also determined as the condition information of the shoe.

[0078] Among them, the types of stains include water-soluble stains, oil-soluble stains, solid stains, etc. Water-soluble stains include salt, sugar, starch, urea, inorganic salts, etc. Oil-soluble stains include vegetable oil, animal oil and other oil stains. Solid stains include dust, lime, etc.

[0079] In some embodiments, a humidity sensor may also be provided in the smart shoe box. When an image acquisition device or a pressure sensor detects that a shoe is placed in the chamber of the smart shoe box, the humidity sensor is controlled to detect the humidity information of the shoe, and the humidity information is also determined as the condition information of the shoe.

[0080] In some embodiments, a microbial sensor may be provided in the smart shoe box. When the image acquisition device or the pressure sensor detects that a shoe is placed in the chamber of the smart shoe box, the microbial sensor is controlled to detect the microbial information of the shoe, and the microbial information is also determined as the condition information of the shoe. The microbial information may include the type of microorganisms and / or the content of microorganisms on the shoe. The type of microorganisms may include bacteria, fungi, etc.

[0081] In the above manner, the smart shoe box can automatically obtain comprehensive information about the condition of the shoes, which includes one or more of the shoe style, material, stain location, stain type, damage location, damage type, humidity information and microbial information.

[0082] In other embodiments, the smart shoebox may not be configured with an image processing algorithm. The smart shoebox obtains a shoe image by photographing an image acquisition device, detects the odor information of the shoe by an odor sensor, detects the humidity information of the shoe by a humidity sensor, and detects the microorganism information corresponding to the shoe by a microbial sensor. After that, the smart shoebox sends the shoe image, odor information, humidity information, and microbial information to the server. After receiving this information, the server performs image processing on the shoe image to identify one or more of the information such as the style, material, stain location, damage location, and damage type of the shoe. And, the server identifies the stain type to which the stain at the stain location belongs based on the odor information and the shoe image. The server determines the identified information as the status information of the shoe, and the status information includes at least one of the style, material, stain location, stain type, damage location, damage type, humidity information, and microbial information of the shoe. The server sends the status information of the shoe to the smart shoebox, and the smart shoebox receives the status information of the shoe returned by the server.

[0083] The image processing and recognition operation performed by the server can reduce the amount of calculation of the smart shoe box, eliminate the need to set a higher system resource configuration for the smart shoe box, and reduce the product cost of the smart shoe box.

[0084] All of the above implementations can realize automatic acquisition of various aspects of shoe status information without excessive user intervention, with a high degree of automation, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and efficiency of the smart shoe box in acquiring various aspects of shoe information and improving the user experience.

[0085] Step 102: Perform maintenance on the shoes according to the condition information of the shoes, wherein the maintenance includes at least one of cleaning, drying, sterilization, and damage repair.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, a stain removal device may be provided in the smart shoebox, and the stain removal device may include a transmission mechanism, a brush head, and a spray element, etc. The stain removal device is provided on the inner wall of the chamber of the smart shoebox. If the status information obtained in step 101 includes the stain position of the stain on the shoe, the smart shoebox may control the stain removal device to move the brush head and the spray element to the stain position through the transmission mechanism, and control the spray element to spray a washing solution to the stain position, and the washing solution may be water or an aqueous solution containing a detergent, etc. Then the brush head is controlled to perform friction scrubbing at the stain position.

[0087] In some implementations, the maximum cleaning time of the cleaning process can be pre-configured in the smart shoe box. When the stain removal device cleans the stain at the stain position, the image of the shoe is captured by the image acquisition device in the chamber at each preset unit time interval. The shoe image is used to identify whether the stain at the stain position has been cleaned. If it is determined that the stain has been cleaned, the stain removal device is controlled to stop the cleaning process, and the brush head and the spray element are moved back to the original position through the transmission mechanism. If it is determined that the stain has not been cleaned, it is further determined whether the current cleaning time has reached the preset maximum cleaning time. If the maximum cleaning time has been reached, the stain removal device is controlled to stop the cleaning process, and the brush head and the spray element are moved back to the original position through the transmission mechanism. If the maximum cleaning time has not been reached, the stain at the stain position continues to be cleaned in the above manner.

[0088] The maximum cleaning time may be 30 minutes, 40 minutes or 1 hour, etc. The preset unit time is less than the maximum cleaning time, and the preset unit time may be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.

[0089] In other embodiments, the smart shoebox may also be provided with a dispensing device for dispensing detergent, and the dispensing device may include one or more solution boxes, the solution boxes are used to hold detergent, and each solution box is connected to a dispensing conduit. The smart shoebox is pre-configured with a mapping relationship between different stain types and detergent types.

[0090] If the status information obtained in step 101 includes the stain type to which the stain at the stain position belongs, the smart shoebox determines the detergent type corresponding to the stain type from the above mapping relationship according to the stain type. The smart shoebox issues a prompt message, which is used to prompt the user to add the determined detergent type to the solution box. The smart shoebox can issue the prompt message by playing a voice message, displaying the prompt message on a display screen, or sending the prompt message to the user's mobile phone, computer or other terminal. After receiving the prompt message, the user adds the corresponding type of detergent to the solution box, and the smart shoebox adds the detergent in the solution box to the above stain position through the delivery catheter, and then controls the stain removal device to clean the stain at the stain position in the above manner.

[0091] In another implementation, the smart shoebox includes multiple solution boxes, and the type of detergent contained in each solution box is specified. The user adds the corresponding detergent to each solution box according to the specification. After the smart shoebox determines the type of detergent corresponding to the stain type, it automatically selects the solution box containing the detergent type, and delivers the detergent in the selected solution box to the above-mentioned stain position through the delivery conduit. Then, the stain removal device is controlled to clean the stain at the stain position in the manner described above.

[0092] The above method can automatically identify the location and type of stains on the shoes, and automatically control the stain removal device to clean the stains. Users no longer need to wash their shoes manually. They only need to place the shoes in the chamber of the smart shoe box to automatically clean the shoes, thereby improving the intelligence and practicality of the smart shoe box.

[0093] In some embodiments, a drying device may be provided in the smart shoebox, and the drying device may include a fan and a heating tube. If the status information obtained in step 101 includes the material and humidity information of the shoe, the smart shoebox may determine the drying temperature and drying time according to the material and humidity information. Specifically, the smart shoebox may be pre-configured with a mapping relationship between different materials and corresponding drying temperatures, wherein the drying temperature corresponding to the material is lower than the maximum tolerance temperature corresponding to the material. The smart shoebox obtains the corresponding drying temperature from the above mapping relationship according to the material of the shoe, and predicts the drying time according to the humidity information of the shoe and the determined drying temperature. Then the drying device is controlled to turn on the fan and the heating tube, and the heating tube is controlled to maintain the air temperature in the chamber of the smart shoebox at the determined drying temperature. The heating tube heats the air, cooperates with the fan to generate hot air, and circulates the hot air in the chamber of the smart shoebox to evaporate the moisture in the shoe and improve the dryness of the shoe. The smart shoebox starts timing when the fan and the heating tube are turned on. When the timing reaches the determined drying time, the fan and the heating tube are turned off to complete the drying process of the shoe.

[0094] In some implementations, considering that weather conditions have a significant impact on the humidity of the environment in which the smart shoe box is located, and the humidity of the shoes worn by the user on rainy days will be higher. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the smart shoe box can also obtain the weather information of the current time from the server, and determine the type of shoe maintenance treatment according to the weather information and the condition information of the shoes, for example, determining the drying time according to the weather information, the material of the shoes and the humidity information. When the weather information is a rainy day, the determined drying time can be appropriately extended. After the drying time is determined, the drying device is controlled to dry the shoes in the above manner.

[0095] The shoes can be automatically dried in the above manner to keep them dry and prevent bacteria from growing on the shoes due to prolonged moisture. Moreover, if the stains on the shoes are first cleaned in the above manner and then the shoes are dried, clean and dry shoes can be obtained after drying. After the user takes out the shoes from the smart shoe box, they can be worn directly without drying them.

[0096] In some embodiments, a sterilization device may be provided in the smart shoe box, and the sterilization device may include an ultraviolet lamp, which uses ultraviolet rays for sterilization and deodorization. Alternatively, the sterilization device may include an ozone generator, which uses ozone for sterilization and deodorization. If the status information obtained in step 101 includes microbial information of the shoes, the microbial information includes microbial type and / or microbial content. The smart shoe box determines the sterilization time according to the microbial information. Then, the sterilization device is turned on to sterilize the shoes for the sterilization time.

[0097] Since the more the feet sweat, the easier it is to breed bacteria, and users sweat relatively more when wearing sports shoes for exercise, and sweat less when wearing shoes for daily work and school. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the smart shoebox can also obtain the user's usage habit information of shoes, and determine the type of shoe maintenance treatment according to the usage habit information and the condition information of the shoes. The usage habit information may include the usage time of different types of shoes such as sports shoes and leather shoes used by the user. The usage habit information can be submitted to the smart shoebox by the user through the control panel of the smart shoebox, or it can be sent to the smart shoebox through the client on the mobile phone or computer. Alternatively, the user can first send the usage habit information to the server through a terminal such as a mobile phone or computer, and then the server sends it to the smart shoebox.

[0098] As an example, after the smart shoe box obtains the user's usage habit information, it determines the shoe type of the shoe according to the usage habit information and the shoe style and material included in the status information obtained in step 101. The shoe type can be sports shoes, leather shoes, casual shoes, etc. For example, if the current time is Saturday morning, the user's usage habit information indicates that the user will wear sports shoes for exercise on Saturday morning, and the style included in the status information recognized by the smart shoe box is flat shoes, the sole material is rubber, and the upper material is a polymer polyurethane synthetic material, so it can be determined that the shoe type to which the shoe belongs is sports shoes.

[0099] The sterilization time is determined based on the determined shoe type and microbial information. If the shoes are sports shoes, they may sweat more, so the sterilization time can be appropriately extended. Then the sterilization device is controlled in the above manner to sterilize the shoes.

[0100] When wearing shoes, the feet sweat, which easily breeds bacteria and fungi, produces odor, and has an adverse effect on the user's health. Sterilization can effectively eliminate bacteria and fungi in shoes and eliminate the odor of shoes.

[0101] In some embodiments, users will inevitably cause different degrees of damage to the shoes during the daily use of shoes, such as friction injuries on the soles, scratches on the uppers, etc. At present, users only go to the stores that carry out shoe repairs for repair when the shoes are severely damaged, which is costly. Or, users may directly discard the damaged shoes, causing waste. In the embodiment of the present application, a damage repair device is set in the smart shoe box to automatically repair the damage to the shoes. If the status information obtained in step 101 includes the color, material, damage location and damage type of the shoes, the smart shoe box determines the color and material at the damage location according to the color, material and damage location of the shoes. The color of the shoes identified in step 101 may include the colors of different parts of the shoes, such as the color of the soles, the color of the uppers, etc. Similarly, the material of the identified shoes may also specifically include the materials of different parts of the shoes, such as the material of the soles, the material of the uppers, etc.

[0102] After determining the color and material of the damaged location, select a repair material corresponding to the color and material of the damaged location. That is, the color of the repair material is the same as the color of the damaged location, and the material of the repair material is the same as or similar to the material of the damaged location. For example, if the color of the damaged location is white, select a white repair material. If the material of the damaged location is leather, the selected repair material can be a paste of shoe polish or paint, which is applied to the damaged location and solidified to have an appearance similar to that of the undamaged location of the shoe.

[0103] After the repair material is selected in the above manner, the damage repair device is controlled to use the repair material to repair the damaged position according to the damage type. Since the damage type is scratches, it is usually a small strip scar. Therefore, for this type of damage, the damage repair device can be controlled to fill the repair material only to the strip damage area at the damaged position. For the damage type of friction, the damage area is usually larger, so the damage repair device can be controlled to fill the repair material to the damaged position and the surrounding area within a preset size range.

[0104] During the process of repairing the damage in the above manner, the image of the shoe can also be captured by the image acquisition device in the chamber, and the progress of the damage repair can be identified by the shoe image. After determining that the damage has been repaired, the damage repair device is controlled to stop the repair operation. If it is determined that the damage has not been repaired, the damage repair device continues to be controlled to perform the repair operation.

[0105] The damage repair device can automatically repair the damage of the shoes placed in the smart shoe box in the above manner, and the user does not need to send the damaged shoes to a special repair shop for repair, which reduces the money and time costs of shoe repair. And each time the shoes are placed in the smart shoe box, the damage on the shoes will be repaired, which can repair the damage on the shoes in time, keep the shoes in good appearance, and extend the service life of the shoes.

[0106] The above-mentioned damage repair operation requires filling the damaged part with repair materials. Considering that there may be dirt such as dust in the damaged part, if the shoes are not cleaned before the damage repair is performed, the damage repair effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the shoes can be cleaned by a stain removal device first, and then dried by a drying device after cleaning. Then the damaged part is repaired by the damage repair device to ensure that there is no dirt attached to the damaged part, thereby improving the damage repair effect.

[0107] The stain removal device, drying device, sterilization device, and damage repair device mentioned above may be provided in the smart shoe box at the same time, or only one or more of these devices may be provided. In the application scenario where the smart shoe box is provided with these devices at the same time, after obtaining the condition information of the shoe in step 101, Figure 2 As shown, S1: the smart shoe box controls the stain removal device to clean the stain at the stain location according to the stain location and stain type included in the status information. S2: According to the material and humidity information of the shoes included in the status information, the drying device is controlled to dry the shoes after cleaning. S3: According to the microbial information included in the status information, the sterilization device is controlled to sterilize the shoes after drying.
