[0021] First, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below 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. For example, although the present invention introduces the control method of the smart home system in combination with a washing machine, the technical solution of the present invention is not limited thereto. The control method of the smart home system of the present invention is obviously also applicable to laundry processing equipment such as a washing and drying machine and a shoe washing machine.

[0022] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "set", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal connection of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 The control method of the smart home system of the present invention is introduced. Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the control method of the smart home system of the present invention.

[0024] Based on the problem pointed out in the background art that the existing non-IoT washing machine cannot remind you to add detergent in time, the present invention provides a control method for a smart home system, wherein the smart home system includes a smart socket and a clothes processing device, and the clothes processing device is electrically connected to the smart socket. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the smart home system mainly includes the following steps:

[0025] Step S100: Detecting power consumption parameters of the clothing processing device through the smart socket.

[0026] Step S200: determining operation information of the clothing processing device according to the power consumption parameters.

[0027] Step S300: Determine the detergent consumption of the laundry processing device according to the operation information.

[0028] Step S400: Calculate the remaining amount of detergent in the laundry processing device according to the detergent consumption.

[0029] Step S500: Based on the calculation result, selectively prompting a reminder device that detergent is insufficient.

[0030] The smart home system includes a server, which can be a cloud server or a backend server. The smart socket includes a storage module, a detection module and a sending module. The server is respectively connected to the sending module and the smart terminal as a reminder device, such as a wide area network, a local area network, WiFi, "WiFi+a router connected to the Internet", Bluetooth, ZIGBEE, NFC, GPRS and other communication methods. The smart terminal can be a mobile device, a computer, a vehicle-mounted device built into a floating car, etc., or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the mobile device can include a mobile phone, a tablet, a smart home device, a wearable device, a smart mobile device, a virtual reality device, etc., or any combination thereof. The storage module of the smart socket pre-stores the detergent consumption and the total detergent capacity of a single washing of clothes of the clothing processing device, the detection module is used to detect the power consumption parameters of the clothing processing device in real time, such as the power current, the power consumption, etc., and the sending module is used to send the detected power consumption parameters and the detergent consumption and the total detergent capacity of a single washing of clothes of the clothing processing device stored in the storage module to the server. The server determines whether the clothing processing device performs a washing operation based on a comparison result between the power consumption current or power consumption and the current threshold or power threshold, thereby counting the number of washes of the clothing processing device, multiplying the detergent consumption of a single wash of clothing by the number of washes to obtain the current detergent consumption, subtracting the detergent consumption from the total detergent capacity to obtain the remaining detergent, and comparing the remaining detergent with the warning value. When the remaining detergent is less than the warning value, the server sends an instruction to the smart terminal. After receiving the instruction, the smart terminal displays a prompt message of insufficient detergent to the user in the form of voice, text or image, so that the user can promptly discover the insufficient detergent and replenish it, thereby optimizing the user experience.

[0031] Those skilled in the art can understand that the reminder device can also be a buzzer, voice broadcast device, display screen, indicator light, etc., which are arranged on the smart socket. The server sends instructions to the smart socket, so that the buzzer, voice broadcast device, display screen, indicator light, etc. send reminder information in a corresponding manner. In addition, in a feasible implementation, the smart home system may not include a server, but a smart chip as a processor is arranged on the smart socket, and the smart chip is connected to the sending module and the smart terminal as the reminder device in communication, and the smart chip performs its corresponding operation instead of the server.

[0032] Preferably, step S200 specifically includes: determining the water inlet time of the washing stage of the clothing processing equipment according to the power consumption parameters; step S300 specifically includes: determining the detergent consumption according to the water inlet time. Since the amount of clothes is different each time washing, for some more intelligent clothing processing equipment, it can determine the amount of clothes to be washed by weighing, and inject a corresponding amount of washing water and detergent according to the amount of clothes to be washed, and the amount of detergent consumed each time washing will also be different. Determine the water inlet time of the washing stage of the clothing processing equipment according to the power consumption parameters, determine the water inlet amount according to the water inlet time, and then determine the detergent consumption for each washing according to the corresponding relationship between the water inlet amount and the detergent injection amount. The detergent consumption obtained by adding up the detergent consumption for each washing is more accurate, and a more accurate detergent remaining amount can be obtained, and the detergent shortage can be accurately judged and a reminder message of the detergent shortage can be sent.

[0033] Refer to the following Figure 2 , taking a washing machine as an example, the first embodiment of the present invention is described in detail. Figure 2 It is a specific step diagram of the control method of the smart home system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the smart home system includes the following steps:

[0035] S110. Detecting power parameters of the washing machine through the smart socket.

[0036] The detection module of the smart socket includes a power meter for real-time detection of the power parameters of the washing machine, and the sending module sends the power parameters of the washing machine to the server. It is understandable that the detection module of the smart socket may also include a voltage sensor and a current sensor, which respectively detect the real-time voltage and real-time current of the washing machine in real time through the voltage sensor and the current sensor, and calculate the product of the real-time voltage and the real-time current to obtain the real-time power.

[0037] S210: Draw a power curve according to the power parameters.

[0038] The server draws a power curve showing the change of power over time according to the received power parameters of the washing machine.

[0039] S220: Compare the power curve with a preset standard power curve to determine the water inlet time of the washing machine during the washing phase.

[0040] The server compares the drawn power curve with the preset standard power curve. When a certain section of the drawn power curve matches a certain section of the preset standard power curve, it is determined that the washing machine performs a corresponding operation in the time period, such as water filling operation, washing operation, heating operation, rinsing operation or drainage operation, so as to determine the water filling time of the washing stage through comparison.

[0041] S310, determining detergent consumption according to water inlet time.

[0042] The server determines the water intake amount according to the water intake time, such as looking up the corresponding water intake amount through a mapping relationship table between the water intake time and the water intake amount, or multiplying the water intake time by a first preset coefficient to obtain the corresponding water intake amount; determines the weight of the clothes according to the water intake amount, such as looking up the corresponding weight of the clothes through a mapping relationship table between the water intake amount and the weight of the clothes, or calculating the weight of the clothes according to the water intake amount using a functional relationship between the water intake amount and the weight of the clothes; determines the detergent consumption according to the weight of the clothes, such as looking up the corresponding detergent consumption through a mapping relationship table between the washing consumption and the weight of the clothes, and adding up the detergent consumption for each washing to obtain the detergent consumption.

[0043] S410: Calculate the remaining amount of detergent according to the total detergent capacity and detergent consumption of the washing machine.

[0044] For example, when the washing machine is used for the first time, the server sends an instruction to the smart terminal to input the total capacity of detergent, the smart terminal displays prompt information for inputting the total capacity of detergent to the user, the user inputs the total capacity information of the washing machine into the smart terminal, the smart terminal sends the total capacity information of the washing machine to the server, and the server calculates the current remaining amount of detergent based on the total capacity information and the detergent consumption. It can be understood that in another feasible implementation, the total capacity of detergents of various models of washing machines may be stored in the server, when the washing machine is used for the first time, the server sends an instruction to the smart terminal to input the model information of the washing machine, the smart terminal prompts the user to input the model information of the washing machine, the user checks the model of the washing machine and then inputs the model information of the washing machine into the smart terminal, the smart terminal sends the model information of the washing machine to the server, and the server determines the total capacity of detergent of the washing machine based on the obtained model information of the washing machine.

[0045] S510, determine whether the remaining amount of detergent is less than the warning value, if so, execute step S520, if not, return to step S110.

[0046] The server compares the remaining amount of detergent with the warning value. If the remaining amount of detergent is less than the warning value, an instruction to prompt that the detergent is insufficient is sent to the smart terminal. If the remaining amount of detergent is not less than the warning value, no instruction to prompt that the detergent is insufficient is sent to the smart terminal.

[0047] S520: Send a reminder message indicating that detergent is insufficient via the smart terminal.

[0048] The intelligent terminal displays the reminder information of insufficient detergent in one or more forms of text, voice, chart, etc. according to the received instruction of insufficient detergent.

[0049] The power parameters of the washing machine are detected by the smart socket, and a power curve is drawn according to the power parameters. The power curve is compared with the preset standard power curve to determine the water intake time of the washing machine during the washing stage, the water intake amount is determined according to the water intake time, the weight of the clothes is determined according to the water intake amount, the detergent consumption is determined according to the weight of the clothes, and then the remaining detergent is calculated according to the total detergent capacity and detergent consumption of the washing machine. The overall detergent consumption and detergent remaining amount can be obtained more accurately, and a prompt message of insufficient detergent can be accurately issued.

[0050] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that plotting a power curve based on power parameters and comparing the power curve with a preset standard power curve to determine the water intake time of the washing machine during the washing stage is only a specific implementation method, and those skilled in the art may also adjust it according to actual conditions. For example, in another feasible implementation method, it is determined whether the power parameter is within a preset range, the water inlet valve is opened during the water intake process, the power consumption of the washing machine is basically maintained constant, and this power is significantly different from the power during the washing, dehydration and drainage operations of the washing machine. Whether the washing machine is in the water intake stage is determined by determining whether the power consumption falls within the preset power range, and the water intake time of this water intake stage is counted.

[0051] In addition, comparing the power curve with the preset standard power curve to determine the water intake time of the washing machine in the washing stage, determining the water intake amount according to the water intake time, determining the weight of the clothes according to the water intake amount, and determining the detergent consumption according to the weight of the clothes is also a specific implementation method, and technical personnel in this field can make adjustments as needed. For example, in a feasible implementation method, the power curve is compared with the preset standard power curve to determine the drainage time of the washing machine in the washing stage, determining the amount of washing water according to the drainage time, determining the weight of the clothes according to the amount of washing water, and determining the detergent consumption according to the weight of the clothes.

[0052] In addition, the power parameter is also a specific implementation method as an electricity parameter. Those skilled in the art may also use the current parameter as an electricity parameter. The detection module in the smart socket includes a current sensor for detecting the real-time current of the washing machine. The server draws a current curve of the current changing with time according to the current parameter, compares the current curve with a preset standard current curve to determine the water inlet time of the washing machine during the washing phase, determines the water inlet amount according to the water inlet time, determines the weight of the clothes according to the water inlet amount, determines the detergent consumption according to the weight of the clothes, calculates the remaining detergent according to the total detergent capacity and the detergent consumption of the washing machine, compares the remaining detergent with the warning value, and when the remaining detergent is less than the warning value, sends a prompt instruction indicating insufficient detergent to the smart terminal, and sends a reminder message of insufficient detergent to the user through the smart terminal.

[0053] For non-IoT washing machines, different users have different usage habits and washing frequencies, and the cleaning cycles of washing machines are also different. Users cannot accurately judge when the washing machine needs to be cleaned. Washing clothes when the washing machine is dirty and needs to be cleaned will seriously affect the washing effect of the clothes. In view of this, the control method of the smart home system of the present invention can also issue a cleaning reminder when the washing machine reaches a certain degree of dirtiness.

[0054] Refer to the following Figure 3 , to introduce the second embodiment of the present invention in detail. Figure 2 It is a specific step diagram of the control method of the smart home system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, based on the first embodiment, the control method of the smart home system in the second embodiment further includes the following steps after step S210:

[0056] Step S230: Compare the power curve with a preset standard power curve to determine the duration of each wash and the heating temperature of each wash of the washing machine, and determine the duration of an interval between two adjacent washes according to the power curve.

[0057] The server compares the drawn power curve with the preset standard power curve. When a certain section of the drawn power curve matches a certain section of the preset standard power curve, it is determined whether the washing machine performs water intake, washing, heating, rinsing or drainage operations during this period of time, and the execution time of the corresponding operation is determined according to the power curve to obtain the washing time and heating time of each washing. Washing machines are usually set with multiple gears of heating temperature, and different gears of heating temperature use different heating power and heating time. For example, as shown in Table 1 below:

[0058] Table 1

[0059] Heating temperature(℃) Heating power(W) Heating time (min) 30 1600 2 60 1700 4 90 2000 8

[0060] The server can obtain the corresponding heating temperature according to the stored correspondence between the heating temperature, heating power and heating time, and the determined heating power and heating time. The server determines the start time and end time of each wash according to the power curve, and determines the interval between two adjacent washes according to the start time of each wash and the end time of the previous wash.

[0061] Step S610: Determine the corresponding washing time influence coefficient A according to each washing time, each heating temperature, and the interval between two adjacent washings. i , Heating temperature influence coefficient B i , the influence coefficient C of the interval between two consecutive washings i .

[0062] The server stores a mapping relationship table between washing time and washing time influence coefficient, a mapping relationship table between heating temperature and heating temperature influence coefficient, and a mapping relationship table between the interval between two adjacent washes and the influence coefficient between the interval between two adjacent washes. The degree of dirtiness of the washing machine is positively correlated with the washing time. For example, the washing time influence coefficient corresponding to (0, 20] min washing time is 0.5, the washing time influence coefficient corresponding to (20, 40] min washing time is 0.7, and the washing time influence coefficient corresponding to (40, 60] min washing time is 0.9. Washing water at different temperatures affects the debacterization and descaling ability of the detergent. Therefore, at the optimal washing temperature, the contribution to the degree of dirtiness of the washing machine is the smallest. For example, the heating temperature coefficient corresponding to the heating temperature of (0, 10] °C is 0.9, the heating temperature coefficient corresponding to the heating temperature of (10, 20] °C is 0.85, and the heating temperature coefficient corresponding to the heating temperature of (40, 60] min is 0.9. The heating temperature coefficient corresponding to the heating temperature of 20, 30]℃ is 0.65, the heating temperature coefficient corresponding to the heating temperature of (30, 40]℃ is 0.45, the heating temperature coefficient corresponding to the heating temperature of (40, 50]℃ is 0.55, the heating temperature coefficient corresponding to the heating temperature of (50, 60]℃ is 0.65, the heating temperature coefficient corresponding to the heating temperature of (60, 70]℃ is 0.8, and the heating temperature coefficient corresponding to the heating temperature of (70, 80]℃ is 0.9. The longer the interval between two adjacent washes, the greater the adhesion strength of the attached stains in the washing machine, and the more difficult it is to wash them off during the washing process. Therefore, the influence coefficient of the interval between two adjacent washes is closely related to the interval between two adjacent washes. For example, the influence coefficient of the interval between two adjacent washings of (0, 2]h is 0.3, the influence coefficient of the interval between two adjacent washings of (2, 6]h is 0.5, the influence coefficient of the interval between two adjacent washings of (6, 10]h is 0.8, and the influence coefficient of the interval between two adjacent washings of (10, +∞)h is 1. In the first washing, since no washing operation is performed before, C1 can be set to C1=0.1. Of course, those skilled in the art can also adjust other coefficients according to the adjustment of other coefficients. It is understandable that determining the corresponding washing time influence coefficient, heating temperature influence coefficient and adjacent washing interval time influence coefficient according to each washing time, each heating temperature, adjacent washing interval time and the corresponding mapping relationship table is only a specific setting method, and those skilled in the art can also obtain the corresponding influence coefficient by interpolation method according to the change curve of washing time influence coefficient and washing time, the change curve of heating temperature influence coefficient and heating temperature, and the change curve of adjacent washing interval time influence coefficient and adjacent washing interval time, and can also use the corresponding fitting formula to calculate and obtain the corresponding influence coefficient.

[0063] Step S620: According to the formula Calculate the dirtiness coefficient S, where A i is the influence coefficient of washing time of the ith washing, B i is the heating temperature influence coefficient of the i-th washing, C i is the influence coefficient of the washing interval between the i-th washing and the previous washing.

[0064] Step S630, determine whether the dirt coefficient S is greater than a preset value of 50, if so, execute step S640, if not, return to step S110.

[0065] The server compares the dirt coefficient S with a preset value of 50. If the dirt coefficient S is greater than the preset value 50, a cleaning prompt instruction is sent to the smart terminal. Otherwise, no cleaning prompt instruction is sent to the smart terminal.

[0066] Step S640: Send a cleaning reminder message through the smart terminal.

[0067] The smart terminal displays the cleaning prompt information in one or more forms of text, voice, chart, etc. according to the received cleaning prompt instruction. When the user receives the cleaning prompt information through the mobile terminal, the user can clean the washing machine by himself or contact the after-sales staff for professional cleaning.

[0068] The power consumption parameters of the washing machine are detected through the smart socket, and the operating information of the washing machine is judged according to the power consumption parameters. Further, it is judged whether cleaning is needed based on the operating information of the washing machine, so that a cleaning reminder message can be sent when the washing machine needs cleaning. The user can know in time that the washing machine needs cleaning, so that the user can clean the washing machine by themselves or contact after-sales service personnel for professional cleaning of the washing machine. This solves the problem that existing non-IoT washing machines cannot remind the washing machine to be cleaned in time, and optimizes the user experience.

[0069] The combined effects of washing time, heating temperature and the length of time between two adjacent washes can more accurately determine whether the washing machine needs to be cleaned.

[0070] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above embodiment is only a preferred implementation, and those skilled in the art may also configure it to determine the cumulative washing time by detecting power usage parameters, and determine whether the cumulative time is greater than a preset time. If the cumulative time is greater than the preset time, a cleaning reminder message is issued through the smart terminal.

[0071] It can be seen from the above description that in the technical solution of the present invention, the power consumption parameters of the clothing processing device are detected by the smart socket electrically connected to the clothing processing device, the operation information of the clothing processing device is determined according to the power consumption parameters, the detergent consumption of the clothing processing device is determined according to the operation information of the clothing processing device, and the remaining amount of detergent of the clothing processing device is calculated according to the detergent consumption. According to the calculated remaining amount of detergent, the reminder device selectively prompts that the detergent is insufficient, so that the user can find out and replenish the detergent in time when the detergent is insufficient, avoiding the situation that the user uses the clothing processing device to wash the clothes without finding that the remaining amount of washing is insufficient and cannot be washed, thereby optimizing the user's use experience. The power consumption parameters of the washing machine are detected by the smart socket, the operation information of the washing machine is determined according to the power consumption parameters, and further according to the operation information of the washing machine, it is determined whether it needs to be cleaned, so that the cleaning reminder information is issued when the washing machine needs to be cleaned, so that the user can know in time that the washing machine needs to be cleaned, so that the washing machine can be cleaned by the user himself or contact the after-sales service personnel for professional cleaning of the washing machine, solving the problem that the existing non-Internet of Things washing machine cannot remind the washing machine to be cleaned in time, and optimizing the user's use experience. In addition, users do not need to replace existing non-IoT clothing processing equipment with IoT clothing processing equipment. They can experience the convenience brought by the IoT based on the original non-IoT clothing processing equipment, thereby reducing the cost of use.
