Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart home appliance technology, specifically providing a control method, a computer-readable storage medium, and a clothing processing device for clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, washing machines, washer-dryer combos, and other laundry appliances have become very common. Taking washing machines as an example, during operation, the washing machine may accidentally trigger the power off button, causing it to shut down. When the washing machine is turned on again, it usually re-enters a new operating mode. However, the operating conditions of a washing machine are not exactly the same each time it is turned off, and in many cases, it is not suitable to re-enter a new operating mode. A uniform restart method cannot meet all situations.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, invention patent CN113201904A discloses a "control method for a clothing processing device, a clothing processing device, and a readable storage medium," which specifically includes the following steps: receiving a shutdown signal; determining that the child lock function of the clothing processing device is activated, and saving the interruption status information of the current running program; receiving a power-on signal, and controlling the clothing processing device to continue executing the running program based on the interruption status information. However, the above method only addresses the scenario where the child lock mode is activated. Even after the washing machine is turned off, children can still freely operate it, potentially causing accidents such as turning it on. Furthermore, in actual operation, the child lock mode is not activated every time the machine runs. Therefore, even when the child lock or other modes are not activated, the washing machine will still re-enter a new startup mode, which is detrimental to the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a new control method, computer-readable storage medium, and garment handling device for garment handling equipment to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to solve the problem that the execution mode of existing clothing processing equipment after shutdown is not ideal.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a garment processing device, the control method comprising the following steps: during the operation of the garment processing device, acquiring a shutdown command; determining whether the shutdown command has been acquired; if the shutdown command has been acquired, acquiring a first identity of a first user; based on the first identity, determining the category to which the first user belongs; and selectively locking the garment processing device to a shutdown state according to the determination result.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively locking the clothing processing equipment to the off state according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the first user belongs to the first type of user, then the clothing processing equipment is turned off and locked to the off state.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the control method further includes: obtaining the second identity of the second user when the clothing processing device is in a locked off state; determining the category to which the second user belongs based on the second identity; and selectively unlocking the clothing processing device from the off state according to the determination result.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively unlocking the clothing processing device from the power-off state according to the judgment result" specifically includes: if the second user belongs to the first type of user, then the clothing processing device is kept in the power-off locked state; and / or if the second user belongs to the second type of user, then the clothing processing device is unlocked from the power-off state.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, if the first user belongs to the second type of user, the clothing processing device is turned off and placed in an unlocked state; when the clothing processing device is turned on again, it is determined whether the child lock function was activated when the clothing processing device was turned off; based on the determination result, the clothing processing device is selectively allowed to continue executing the program executed before the shutdown or enter a new startup mode.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively enabling the clothing processing device to continue executing the program executed before shutdown or enter a new startup mode based on the judgment result" specifically includes: if the child lock function is not activated when the clothing processing device is shut down, then obtaining the operating state of the clothing processing device before shutdown; determining the type of the operating state; and based on the judgment result, selectively enabling the clothing processing device to continue executing the program executed before shutdown or enter a new startup mode.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively enabling the clothing processing device to continue executing the program executed before shutdown or enter a new startup mode based on the judgment result" specifically includes: if the operating state belongs to the first type of state, then enabling the clothing processing device to enter a new startup mode; and / or if the operating state belongs to the second type of state, then enabling the clothing processing device to continue executing the program executed before shutdown.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively enabling the clothing processing device to continue executing the program executed before shutdown or enter a new startup mode according to the judgment result" further includes: if the child lock function is activated when the clothing processing device is shut down, then the clothing processing device continues to execute the program executed before shutdown.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a plurality of program codes adapted to be loaded and run by a processor to perform the control method described in any of the preferred embodiments above.

[0015] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a garment processing device, the garment processing device comprising: a processor; a memory for storing a plurality of program codes; the program codes being adapted to be loaded and run by the processor to perform the control method described in any of the preferred technical solutions above.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the control method of the present invention, during the operation of the washing machine, a shutdown command is obtained; it is determined whether a shutdown command has been obtained; if a shutdown command has been obtained, the first identity of the first user is obtained; based on the first identity, the category to which the first user belongs is determined; and according to the determination result, the washing machine is selectively locked in a shutdown state.

[0017] Compared to existing technologies that allow the washing machine to start and resume operation from the interruption point when the child lock function is activated, this invention, when a shutdown command is received during washing machine operation, can accurately determine whether there is a risk of harm to a child after the washing machine is turned off, based on the category of the first user. Based on this, it selectively locks the washing machine in a shutdown state, preventing children from generating effective control commands even if they operate the washing machine after it is turned off. This avoids harm to children due to accidental operation of the washing machine, improves its safety performance, and ensures that adult users can still operate and use the washing machine normally when it is turned off, such as turning it on. This meets the needs of different types of users and improves the user experience.

[0018] Furthermore, if the first user belongs to the first type of user, it means that the washing machine received the shutdown command due to the child's accidental operation. The child may continue to operate the washing machine after it is turned off, which poses a risk of harm to the child. Therefore, the washing machine is turned off and locked in the off state, so that even if the child operates the washing machine after it is turned off, he / she cannot generate an effective control command. The washing machine always remains in the off and locked state and does not execute any control commands entered by the child, further preventing the child from being harmed by accidental operation of the washing machine.

[0019] Furthermore, when the washing machine is locked and turned off, it can accurately determine whether the second user has permission to operate the washing machine based on the category to which the second user belongs. Based on this, the washing machine can be selectively unlocked and turned off, further preventing children from being injured due to accidental operation of the washing machine, and ensuring that adult users can still operate and use the washing machine normally when it is locked and turned off.

[0020] Furthermore, if the first user belongs to the second type of user, it means that the washing machine received the shutdown command due to an adult operating the washing machine. The user may want to put in new clothes, add detergent, or the program has finished running. At this time, the clothes may not be finished washing and may need to be restarted to continue washing the clothes. In this case, it is sufficient to turn off the washing machine. There is no need to lock the shutdown state. The washing machine is in an unlocked state and does not need to be unlocked. The user can operate and use the washing machine again after turning it off.

[0021] Furthermore, when the washing machine is turned on again, based on the judgment result of whether the child lock function was activated when the washing machine was turned off, it can accurately determine whether the user wants to lock the program executed before turning off, so that the program executed before turning off is not changed. Based on this, the washing machine can selectively continue to execute the program executed before turning off or enter a new start-up mode, meeting different user needs and further improving the user experience.

[0022] Furthermore, if the child lock function is not activated when the washing machine is turned off, it means that the user does not have any special usage requirements for the program executed before turning off. In this case, it can be determined whether the program executed before turning off can continue to be executed based on the operating status of the washing machine before turning off, and whether it is necessary to enter a new start-up mode. Different operating modes are adopted for different operating states, which well meets the start-up and operation requirements of the washing machine in different states, and avoids directly re-entering a new start-up mode in all situations. This achieves the goal of providing the most reasonable operating mode after the washing machine is turned off and turned on again, thereby improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, although this application is described in conjunction with a washing machine, the technical solution of the present invention is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the clothing processing equipment can also be any kind of clothing processing equipment such as a dryer, washer-dryer combo, steam washing equipment, or shoe washing machine.

[0033] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "setup" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can also refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Based on the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides a control method for a washing machine. When a shutdown command is received during the operation of the washing machine, the method accurately determines, based on the category of the first user, whether there is a risk of harm to a child after the washing machine is shut down. Based on this, the method selectively locks the washing machine in a shutdown state, preventing children from generating effective control commands even if they operate the washing machine after it is shut down. This avoids harm to children due to accidental operation of the washing machine, improves the safety performance of the washing machine, and ensures that adult users can operate and use the washing machine normally even when it is shut down, such as turning it on. This meets the needs of different types of users and thus improves the user experience.

[0036] First see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control method of the present invention will be described below. Figure 1 This is the main flowchart of the control method of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0038] S100: Obtain a shutdown command during the operation of the washing machine;

[0039] S200: Determine whether a shutdown command has been received;

[0040] S300: Upon receiving a shutdown command, obtain the first user's first identity;

[0041] S400: Based on the first identity, determine the category to which the first user belongs;

[0042] S500: Based on the judgment result, selectively lock the washing machine to the off state.

[0043] Preferably, the washing machine is equipped with a washing button, a rinsing button, a soaking button, a gentle washing function button, a children's clothing washing function button, a power button, and other function buttons. When the washing machine is in child lock mode, all buttons except the power button are locked; when the washing machine is not in child lock mode, all buttons are unlocked.

[0044] In steps S100 and S200, it is determined whether the power button has been operated. The operation method can be clicking, touching, or pressing. If the power button is operated, it can be considered that a shutdown command has been triggered. If the power button is not operated, it can be considered that a shutdown command has not been triggered.

[0045] Alternatively, in an alternative implementation, the washing machine is equipped with a voice module that acquires the first user's voice command and determines whether the command is for turning off the machine. If the command is for turning off, the machine is considered to have been turned off; otherwise, it is considered not to have been turned off. It should be noted that the washing machine can acquire the user's voice command in both child lock and non-child lock modes. However, in child lock mode, if the voice command is not for turning off, the acquired command is not executed, and the washing machine continues running its current program.

[0046] Among them, the voice module is the SDK module, and other voice modules such as the NV020S module, YQ5969 module, and NRK10B are also included.

[0047] Of course, the methods for "obtaining the shutdown command" are not limited to the two methods listed above. Other methods can also be used to obtain the shutdown command. Regardless of the method used, as long as it can be determined whether the shutdown command can be obtained, it is acceptable.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, step S300, the step of "obtaining the first user's first identity" specifically includes:

[0049] S311, Obtain the image of the first user;

[0050] S312. Determine the primary identity based on the image.

[0051] In step S311, the washing machine is equipped with an image acquisition module such as a camera or a camera, and the image of the first user is captured by the image acquisition module such as the camera or camera.

[0052] In step S312, the identity of the first user can be determined based on the captured user image, such as Zhang Xiaobao, Li's mother, etc.

[0053] Alternatively, in an alternative implementation, the washing machine is equipped with a height detection mechanism, such as an infrared sensor or a radar sensor, to detect the height of the first user. The detected height is then compared with a height comparison table pre-stored on the washing machine to determine the identity of the first user.

[0054] Of course, the methods for determining the primary identity of the first user are not limited to the two methods listed above. The user's audio information can also be obtained through an audio recognition module, and the age of the first user can be determined based on the audio information. The primary identity of the first user can then be determined based on the age. No matter what method is used, as long as the primary identity of the first user can be determined, it is acceptable.

[0055] The user categories include a first category and a second category. The first category includes infants, toddlers, and children who are not permitted to operate the washing machine independently; the second category includes teenagers, young adults, middle-aged individuals, middle-aged and elderly individuals who are permitted to operate the washing machine independently. Of course, the user categories are not limited to the methods listed above. They can also be divided into three categories: the first category includes infants, toddlers, and children; the second category includes teenagers, young adults, and middle-aged individuals; and the third category includes middle-aged and elderly individuals. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and set the user category division method according to actual usage needs. The control method of this invention will be further illustrated below using the first and second categories of users as examples.

[0056] Furthermore, if no shutdown command is received, the washing machine continues to run and returns to step S701 until a shutdown command is received.

[0057] The following reference Figures 3 to 7 The control method for selectively locking the power-off state according to the present invention is described herein. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the control method for selectively locking the power-off state according to the present invention; Figure 4 This is the flow chart of the selective unlocking and shutdown control method of the present invention. Figure 1 ; Figure 5 This is the flow chart of the selective unlocking and shutdown control method of the present invention. Figure 2 ; Figure 6 This invention describes the flow of a control method for selectively continuing the program executed before shutdown or entering a new boot mode. Figure 1 ; Figure 7 This invention describes the flow of a control method for selectively continuing the program executed before shutdown or entering a new boot mode. Figure 2 .

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, step S500, "selectively locking the washing machine to the off state based on the judgment result," specifically includes:

[0059] S511. If the first user belongs to the first type of user, then turn off the washing machine and lock it in the off state.

[0060] In step S511, if the first user belongs to the first type of user, it means that the first user operating the washing machine at this time is a child. The washing machine received the shutdown command because the child accidentally operated the power button of the washing machine or accidentally entered the shutdown voice message. The child may continue to operate the washing machine after it is turned off, which poses a risk of harm to the child. Therefore, the washing machine is turned off and locked in the shutdown state, so that even if the child operates the washing machine after it is turned off, he / she cannot generate an effective control command. The washing machine always remains in the shutdown and locked state and does not execute any control commands entered by the child, further avoiding harm to the child due to accidental operation of the washing machine.

[0061] See next. Figure 4 When the washing machine is in a locked off state, the control method also includes:

[0062] S611, Obtain the second user's second identity;

[0063] S612. Based on the second identity, determine the category to which the second user belongs;

[0064] S613. Based on the judgment result, selectively unlock the washing machine to the power-off state.

[0065] In step S611, the specific method for determining the second identity of the second user can be referred to the description in step S300, and will not be repeated here.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, step S613, "selectively unlocking the washing machine to the off state based on the judgment result," specifically includes:

[0067] S621. If the second user belongs to the first type of user, then keep the washing machine in the off and locked state.

[0068] S622. If the second user belongs to the second type of user, then unlock the washing machine to the power-off state.

[0069] In step S621, if the second user belongs to the first type of user, it means that after the washing machine is turned off, the user operating the washing machine again is still a child. This user is not allowed to operate the washing machine independently and does not have the authority to operate the washing machine. Therefore, the washing machine is kept in a locked off state to further prevent the child from being injured due to accidental operation of the washing machine. Then, the process returns to step S611 until the second user obtained again belongs to the second type of user.

[0070] In step S622, if the second user belongs to the second type of user, it means that after the washing machine is turned off, the user who operates the washing machine again is a teenager, young adult, middle-aged, middle-aged and elderly, or elderly. This user is allowed to operate the washing machine independently and has the authority to operate the washing machine. To ensure that this user can operate and use the washing machine normally, the washing machine is unlocked from the off state, so that the washing machine can execute the control commands input by the second user, such as power-on commands, program setting commands, start-up commands, and other commands. That is, only adults can unlock the off state.

[0071] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S621 and S622 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of the second user's category. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0072] See again Figure 3 In step S500, the step of "selectively locking the washing machine to the off state according to the judgment result" further includes:

[0073] S512. If the first user belongs to the second type of user, then turn off the washing machine and put it in an unlocked state.

[0074] S513. When the washing machine is turned on again, determine whether the child lock function was activated when the washing machine was turned off;

[0075] S514. Based on the judgment result, selectively allow the washing machine to continue executing the program executed before shutdown or enter a new startup mode.

[0076] In step S512, if the first user belongs to the second type of user, it means that the first user operating the washing machine at this time is an adult such as a teenager, young adult, middle-aged, middle-aged and elderly, or elderly. The washing machine receives the shutdown command because the adult operates the washing machine. The user may want to put in new clothes, add detergent, or the program has finished running. At this time, the clothes may not be finished washing and may need to be restarted to continue washing clothes. In this case, the washing machine can be turned off without locking the shutdown state. The washing machine is in an unlocked state and does not need to be unlocked. The user can operate and use the washing machine again after turning it off.

[0077] In the unlocked state, all buttons on the washing machine are unlocked, and all buttons can be operated and execute their corresponding control commands.

[0078] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S511 and S512 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of the category to which the first user belongs. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, step S514, "based on the judgment result, selectively allowing the washing machine to continue executing the program executed before shutdown or enter a new startup mode," specifically includes:

[0080] S521. If the child lock function is activated when the washing machine is turned off, the washing machine will continue to execute the program that was executed before the machine was turned off.

[0081] S522. If the child lock function is not activated when the washing machine is turned off, obtain the operating status of the washing machine before it is turned off.

[0082] S523. Determine the type of the running status;

[0083] S524. Based on the judgment result, selectively allow the washing machine to continue executing the program executed before shutdown or enter a new startup mode.

[0084] In step S521, if the child lock function is activated when the washing machine is turned off, it means that the user not only wants to prevent children from accidentally operating the washing machine, but also wants to lock the program executed before turning off, so that the program executed before turning off is not changed. Based on this, the washing machine continues to execute the program executed before turning off, such as washing, rinsing, and spin-drying operations, which better meets the user's needs, improves the working efficiency of the washing machine, and saves time in processing clothes.

[0085] In step S522, if the child lock function is not activated when the washing machine is turned off, it means that the user does not have any special usage requirements for the program executed before turning off. At this time, the operating status of the washing machine before turning off can be obtained so as to determine whether the program executed before turning off can continue to be executed, and whether it is necessary to enter a new start-up mode. Different operating modes are adopted for different operating states, which well meets the start-up and operation requirements of the washing machine in different states. It avoids directly re-entering a new start-up mode under any circumstances, and achieves the purpose of providing the most reasonable operating mode after the washing machine is turned off and turned on again, thereby improving the user experience.

[0086] The operating states of a washing machine include standby, alarm, waiting after the program has finished, washing, rinsing, spin-drying, water filling, and draining. Of course, the operating states of a washing machine are not limited to those listed above; they can also be in a balanced state, or in a drying state for washing machines with a drying function, etc.

[0087] The operating states are categorized into two types: a first type and a second type. The first type includes standby, alarm, and waiting states after program completion. The second type includes washing, rinsing, spin-drying, water filling, draining, balancing, and drying states. Of course, the classification of operating states is not limited to the above-listed methods; it can also be divided into three or four types. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and set the classification of operating state categories according to actual usage needs. The control method of this invention will be further illustrated below using the first and second types of states as examples.

[0088] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S521 and S522 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the child lock function is activated. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0089] like Figure 7 As shown, step S524, "based on the judgment result, selectively allowing the washing machine to continue executing the program executed before shutdown or enter a new startup mode," specifically includes:

[0090] S531. If the operating status is in the first category, then the washing machine will enter a new start-up mode.

[0091] S532. If the operating state is in the second category, the washing machine will continue to execute the program executed before shutdown.

[0092] In step S531, if the operating state belongs to the first type, it means that the washing machine was in standby mode before being turned off, with no program to be executed or a program being executed; or, the washing machine was in alarm mode before being turned off, indicating a malfunction that prevented it from continuing to execute the running program; or, the washing machine was in a waiting state after the program had finished running before being turned off, meaning the program had already finished and did not need to continue. In any of these states, the washing machine does not need to continue executing the program executed before being turned off, and will instead enter a new startup mode to restart and execute a new program.

[0093] In step S532, if the operating state belongs to the second type, it means that before shutting down, the washing machine was in washing, rinsing, spin-drying, water filling, draining, balancing, or drying state of a washing machine with drying function. Regardless of the state, it means that the program executed by the washing machine before shutting down has not been completed and needs to continue running. Therefore, the washing machine continues to execute the program executed before shutting down, such as washing, rinsing, spin-drying, water filling, draining, balancing, or drying, which better meets the user's needs, improves the working efficiency of the washing machine, and saves time in processing clothes.

[0094] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S531 and S532 are not sequential but parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of the type of running state. The corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0095] The following reference Figure 8 This paper describes one possible control flow of the present invention. Figure 8 This is a logic diagram of the control method of the present invention.

[0096] like Figure 8 As shown, a possible complete flow of the control method of the present invention is as follows:

[0097] S701. Obtain a shutdown command during the operation of the washing machine;

[0098] S702. Determine whether a shutdown command has been obtained? If yes, proceed to step S703; otherwise, return to step S701 until a shutdown command is obtained.

[0102] If the first user belongs to the second type of user, then proceed to step S710;

[0103] S705: Turn off the washing machine and lock it in the off state;

[0104] S706, Obtain the second user's second identity;

[0105] S707. Based on the second identity, determine the category to which the second user belongs;

[0109] S709. Unlock the washing machine from the off state;

[0110] S710: Turn off the washing machine and put it in an unlocked state;

[0111] S711. When the washing machine is turned on again, determine whether the child lock function was activated when the washing machine was turned off; if not, proceed to step S712; if yes, proceed to step S715.

[0112] S712, Obtain the operating status of the washing machine before it is turned off;

[0113] S713. Determine the type of the running status;

[0116] S714: Enables the washing machine to enter a new startup mode;

[0117] S715: Allows the washing machine to continue executing the program that was executed before shutdown.
