Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of smart home technology, specifically relating to a smart wardrobe and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing needs to be appropriate for each member throughout the four seasons, resulting in a large amount of clothing in every household. When all the clothing is stored in a wardrobe, if a user wants to find specific items or check the wardrobe's condition, they need to open the wardrobe for an extended period of time to inspect the contents, causing inconvenience for daily clothing use and organization.

[0003] Currently, smart wardrobes can automatically monitor the amount of clothing stored inside, providing users with a clear and intuitive view of the information and improving the convenience of retrieving and organizing clothing. However, since most existing smart wardrobes rely on image acquisition devices to determine the storage status, they can only obtain and analyze images after all clothing has been placed in the wardrobe. This timing is somewhat delayed, and factors such as the image acquisition angle and ambient lighting can also cause deviations in the image analysis results, making it difficult to reliably guarantee the accuracy of the obtained storage information.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the field for a new intelligent wardrobe and its control method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies, namely the inability of current smart wardrobes to guarantee the timeliness and accuracy of clothing storage information acquisition, this invention provides a control method for a smart wardrobe. The smart wardrobe includes a cabinet and multiple clothes racks, which can be stacked vertically within the cabinet. The control method includes: when the clothes racks containing clothing are stacked sequentially within the cabinet, acquiring the RFID tag information of the clothing on each clothes rack according to the stacking order; and establishing and storing mapping data between the RFID tag information and its corresponding acquisition time.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the control method further includes: acquiring a clothing search instruction; matching the RFID tag information of the clothing to be retrieved according to the clothing search instruction; retrieving the mapping data corresponding to the RFID tag information of the clothing to be retrieved; determining the position of the clothes rack holding the clothing to be retrieved according to the sequence number of the mapping data corresponding to the RFID tag information of the clothing to be retrieved; and sending a prompt message indicating the determined position of the clothes rack.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the smart wardrobe further includes a voice module. The step of "obtaining clothing search instructions" specifically includes: obtaining a voice instruction for clothing search; the step of "matching the RFID tag information of the clothing to be retrieved according to the clothing search instructions" specifically includes: matching the RFID tag information of the clothing to be retrieved according to the clothing feature information in the voice instruction; the step of "sending a prompt message indicating the location of the determined clothes rack" specifically includes: a voice prompt message indicating the location of the determined clothes rack.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the above control method, the control method further includes: when clothing is taken, acquiring RFID tag information of all remaining clothing; comparing the currently acquired RFID tag information of all remaining clothing with the historical RFID tag information of all clothing acquired last time to determine the RFID tag information of the taken clothing; deleting the mapping data where the RFID tag information of the taken clothing is located; and selectively updating the sequence of the remaining mapping data according to the position of the clothes rack holding the clothing to be taken.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the smart wardrobe further includes a sensing module. The step of "obtaining RFID tag information of all remaining clothes" specifically includes: sensing the user's operation through the sensing module; if the user's operation is sensed, then obtaining the RFID tag information of all remaining clothes.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively updating the sequence of the remaining mapping data according to the position of the rack holding the clothes to be taken" specifically includes: when the sequence of the mapping data is arranged in ascending order according to the storage order, if the rack holding the clothes to be taken is the top rack, then the sequence of the remaining mapping data is not updated; if the rack holding the clothes to be taken is not the top rack, then the sequence of the mapping data of the RFID tag information of the clothes on all racks above the rack holding the clothes to be taken is reduced by one.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above control method, the step of "selectively updating the sequence of the remaining mapping data according to the position of the rack holding the clothes to be taken" specifically includes: when the sequence of the mapping data is arranged in descending order of storage order, if the rack holding the clothes to be taken is the bottom rack, then the sequence of the remaining mapping data is not updated; if the rack holding the clothes to be taken is not the bottom rack, then the sequence of the mapping data of the RFID tag information of the clothes on all racks below the rack holding the clothes to be taken is reduced by one.

[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, the step of "establishing and storing the mapping data of the RFID tag information and its corresponding acquisition time" specifically includes: when multiple stacking areas are set in the cabinet, the mapping data of the RFID tag information of the clothing in each stacking area and its corresponding acquisition time are established and stored in parallel groups.

[0013] This invention also provides a smart wardrobe, which includes a cabinet body, multiple clothes racks, an RFID reading module, and a main control module. The multiple clothes racks can be stacked vertically inside the cabinet body. The RFID reading module and the main control module are communicatively connected. The RFID reading module can read the RFID tag information of each garment on each clothes rack in the stacking order when the clothes racks containing clothes are stacked in the cabinet body, and can send all the read RFID tag information and the acquisition time corresponding to each RFID tag information to the main control module. The main control module can establish and store the mapping data between the RFID tag information and its corresponding acquisition time.

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned smart wardrobe, the clothes rack includes a support plate and support flanges disposed on both sides of the support plate, and the upper rear side of the support flanges is provided with a backward inclined slope structure.

[0015] Those skilled in the art will understand that the control method of the smart wardrobe of the present invention can acquire the RFID tag information of each garment while the user sequentially stacks the clothes rack containing the garments into the wardrobe based on radio frequency identification technology. This determines the specific characteristics of all the garments stored in the wardrobe and stores the RFID tag information of each garment in correspondence with the acquisition time of the RFID tag information. This clarifies the order in which the acquisition times of the RFID tag information of all the garments in the wardrobe are arranged, thereby inferring the stacking order of all the garments in the wardrobe based on this order. It locks the correspondence between each garment and the stacking position of the clothes rack containing that garment, refines the stacking situation of the garments in the wardrobe, and facilitates the smart wardrobe to perform tasks such as targeted garment search and garment distribution display based on the correspondence between the garment set and the stacking position of the clothes rack containing that garment. This achieves the rapid and accurate acquisition of the basic garment storage data of the smart wardrobe.

[0016] Preferably, the control method of the smart wardrobe of the present invention can also locate the position of the clothes rack where the clothes to be retrieved are located based on the sequence of the mapping data corresponding to the user's clothes search command and the RFID tag information of the clothes to be retrieved, so as to facilitate the user to quickly locate the storage location of the clothes to be retrieved and complete the retrieval of the clothes, thereby improving the convenience of using the smart wardrobe.

[0017] More preferably, the control method of the smart wardrobe of the present invention can provide users with voice reminders of the stacking position of clothes based on the voice module of the smart wardrobe, and support users to find clothes by voice. This eliminates the need for users to manually type or select clothes search commands, simplifies the process of finding clothes and obtaining prompts, and further improves the ease of use.

[0018] The present invention also provides an intelligent wardrobe that can perform the above-described control method and has all the beneficial effects of the above-described control method. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0025] It should be noted that although the steps of the control method of the present invention are described in a specific order in the description of the present invention, these orders are not restrictive. Without departing from the basic principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can perform the steps in different orders.

[0026] Based on the problem pointed out in the background art that existing smart wardrobes cannot guarantee the timeliness and accuracy of clothing storage information acquisition, the present invention provides a smart wardrobe and its control method, which aims to quickly acquire basic data of the smart wardrobe and ensure the accuracy of the acquired basic data, thereby improving the intelligence level of the smart wardrobe and optimizing the ease of use of the smart wardrobe.

[0027] First refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of the intelligent wardrobe control method of the present invention. Figure 1As shown, the smart wardrobe of the present invention includes a cabinet and multiple clothes racks, each of which can hold one garment. The multiple clothes racks can be stacked vertically within the cabinet. Based on this smart wardrobe, the control method of the smart wardrobe of the present invention includes:

[0028] Step S1: When clothes racks containing clothes are stacked in the cabinet, the RFID tag information of the clothes on each rack is obtained in the order of stacking.

[0029] Step S2: Establish and store the mapping data between RFID tag information and its corresponding acquisition time.

[0030] In step S1 above, the RFID tag information of the clothing can be the information written in the RFID tag that comes with the clothing itself, or it can be the information carried by the RFID tag that is configured on each piece of clothing after writing information related to the clothing. The RFID tag information includes at least the style feature information of the clothing. Of course, those skilled in the art can also write clothing category information, clothing material information, clothing washing requirements, clothing target audience, etc. into the RFID tag of each piece of clothing according to the usage requirements. As long as the information written in the RFID tag includes representative feature information that can distinguish the clothing from other clothing, such as the feature information such as white, cotton and linen, solid color shirt, etc., into the RFID tag of a piece of clothing.

[0031] In step S2 above, the acquisition time of RFID tag information can be the time when the RFID reader reads the information in the RFID tag.

[0032] In the above embodiment, after the user places all the clothes onto the respective clothes racks, as the user stacks the racks sequentially from the bottom of the cabinet upwards, the RFID reader reads the RFID tags of the clothes on each rack as it is placed inside the cabinet. After reading the RFID tag information of all the clothes on the racks, the RFID tag information of each garment and its corresponding acquisition time are associated and stored as mapping data. For example, when racks containing five garments are stacked into the cabinet, the RFID reader sequentially acquires the RFID tag information of garments 1 to 5, and stores the data. The RFID tag information of garment 1 is associated with the time when the RFID tag information of garment 1 is read (14:01:20), the RFID tag information of garment 2 is associated with the time when the RFID tag information of garment 2 is read (14:01:26), the RFID tag information of garment 3 is associated with the time when the RFID tag information of garment 3 is read (14:01:50), the RFID tag information of garment 4 is associated with the time when the RFID tag information of garment 4 is read (14:02:10), and the RFID tag information of garment 5 is associated with the time when the RFID tag information of garment 5 is read (14:02:35), and these relationships are stored as five sets of mapping data. In this scenario, firstly, the five sets of mapping data directly reflect which five garments are specifically stored inside the cabinet and when each garment was placed inside. This allows the smart wardrobe to determine the storage objects and coordinate the storage time of each garment based on this mapping data. Secondly, by combining the stacking order of the five racks from bottom to top, the stacking position of each rack can be determined from bottom to top by the order of the RFID tag reading times in the five sets of mapping data from earliest to latest. For example, the rack corresponding to the earliest reading time is located at the bottom first position, and the rack corresponding to the latest reading time is located at the fifth position from bottom to top. This determines the specific storage location of each garment inside the cabinet, allowing the smart wardrobe to quickly send the stacking position of the garment to be retrieved when the user needs to retrieve any of the five garments, or to provide the user with suggestions for partitioned storage of clothes, thus expanding the functional scope of the smart wardrobe and improving its intelligent operation level.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the control method of the present invention further includes:

[0034] Get clothing search instructions;

[0035] Based on the obtained clothing search instructions, match the RFID tag information of the clothing to be retrieved;

[0036] Retrieve the mapping data corresponding to the RFID tag information of the clothing to be picked up;

[0037] The location of the clothes rack to be placed is determined based on the sequence of the mapping data corresponding to the RFID tag information of the clothes to be picked up.

[0038] Send a notification message indicating the confirmed location of the clothes rack.

[0039] In the above steps, the clothing search command is a user-issued search command that contains unique characteristics of a specific garment, such as a command to locate the blue cotton T-shirt. This clothing search command can be sent to the smart wardrobe in any way. For example, it can be transmitted through the smart wardrobe's own modules such as voice, display, and control buttons, or through other smart devices with communication capabilities, such as mobile terminals, smart speakers, or smart home control terminals.

[0040] The "sequence of the mapping data" specifically refers to the position of any one of the mapping data points in the arranged sequence after all RFID tag information and its corresponding acquisition time are arranged in descending / ascending order based on their respective acquisition times. This is used to determine the position of any one of the clothes racks in the arrangement from top to bottom or from bottom to top, in conjunction with the stacking order of the clothes racks.

[0041] In the above implementation, after receiving the clothing search instruction issued by the user, the clothing feature information contained in the clothing search instruction can be used to locate the clothing that the user wants to retrieve. Furthermore, the feature information of the clothing to be retrieved is compared with the clothing RFID tag information in each mapping data to locate the mapping data where the RFID tag information that matches the feature of the clothing to be retrieved is located. Thus, the stacking position of the clothes rack holding the clothing to be retrieved is determined by the sequence position of the mapping data.

[0042] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of a preferred embodiment of the intelligent wardrobe control method of the present invention. (See attached flowchart.) Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned smart wardrobe also includes a voice module, enabling users to interact with the smart wardrobe via the voice module, input clothing search commands through the voice module, and receive feedback on the stacking position of the clothing based on the search request. In this case, a preferred embodiment of the control method of the present invention specifically includes:

[0043] Step S100: Obtain the voice command for the clothing search instruction;

[0044] Step S101: Determine whether a voice command has been received;

[0045] If a voice command is received, proceed to step S102; otherwise, return to step S100.

[0046] Step S102: Match the RFID tag information of the clothing to be picked up based on the clothing feature information in the voice command;

[0047] Step S103: Retrieve the mapping data corresponding to the RFID tag information of the clothing to be picked up;

[0048] Step S104: Determine the location of the clothes rack containing the clothes based on the sequence number of the mapping data corresponding to the RFID tag information of the clothes to be picked up.

[0049] Step S105: Send a voice prompt message indicating the location of the determined clothes rack.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the user takes out the clothes but does not remove the clothes rack. In this case, the empty clothes rack remains in its original stacked position, and the arrangement of each clothes rack does not change. The user can continue to find the remaining clothes by using the original sequence of each mapping data.

[0051] Preferably, users typically pull the clothes racks out of the wardrobe to retrieve clothing, preventing wrinkles or damage from pulling the clothes out from between densely stacked racks. In this case, the smart wardrobe can select a clothes rack shifting mode. In this mode, the control method of the smart wardrobe of the present invention further includes:

[0052] If the clothing has been taken, obtain the RFID tag information of all remaining clothing.

[0053] The RFID tag information of all remaining clothing items currently acquired is compared with the historical RFID tag information of all clothing items acquired in the last acquisition to determine the RFID tag information of the clothing item to be taken.

[0054] Delete the mapping data containing the RFID tag information of the retrieved clothing;

[0055] Based on the location of the clothes rack containing the clothes to be retrieved, selectively update the order of the remaining mapping data.

[0056] In the above steps, after a garment is taken, the rack holding that garment is removed from the stack, reducing the number of garments in the cabinet. Therefore, after comparing the RFID tag information of all remaining garments with the historical RFID tag information of all garments acquired previously, the RFID tag information of unretrieved garments can overlap with the RFID tag information of the garment previously read. However, the RFID tag information of retrieved garments cannot be read this time. Thus, retrieved garments only have the historical RFID tag information acquired previously. All RFID tag information read this time does not overlap with the historical RFID tag information of the garment previously. The mapping of the previous historical RFID tag information becomes invalid. Therefore, the mapping data of the previous historical RFID tag information is deleted, and the order of the remaining mapping data is selectively updated. This allows for real-time updates of the number and position of the stacked garments in the cabinet based on the user's garment-retrieval actions, quickly adjusting the sorting queue of the mapping data so that the order of the mapping data corresponding to the remaining garments can be updated promptly and quickly after the number of garments in the cabinet decreases.

[0057] Furthermore, the aforementioned smart wardrobe also includes a sensing module, and the step of "obtaining RFID tag information for all remaining clothing items" specifically includes:

[0058] The sensor module detects the user's action of taking the clothes rack;

[0059] If the user's actions are detected, the RFID tag information of all remaining clothing items is obtained.

[0060] In the above steps, the sensing module can be any sensing device capable of detecting when a user places their hand inside the cabinet to put or take clothes in, such as an infrared human body sensor. The sensing module can directly or indirectly control the RFID reader to perform information reading actions. For example, the sensing module is positioned near the cabinet door and its sensing range covers the inside of the cabinet. If a user pulls out or puts in a clothes rack, their hand will enter the sensing range of the module, thus detecting that the user is opening the cabinet and performing the corresponding operation. The sensing module can be directly connected to the power supply of the RFID reader so that it only powers on the RFID reader to start reading information when it senses a user's action. Alternatively, the sensing module can be connected to the main control module, and after sensing a user's action, it can send a reading request to the main control module so that the main control module can send an information reading command to the RFID reader when the number of clothes in the cabinet changes or when it needs to read the RFID tag information of all the clothes.

[0061] Furthermore, the step of "selectively updating the sequence of the remaining mapping data based on the position of the clothes rack containing the clothes to be retrieved" specifically includes:

[0062] If the clothes rack containing the clothes to be taken is the top shelf, then the order of the remaining mapping data is not updated.

[0063] If the clothes rack containing the clothes to be taken is not the top rack, then the sequence number of the RFID tag information of the clothes on all racks above the clothes rack containing the clothes to be taken will be reduced by one.

[0064] In the above steps, when the mapping data is arranged in ascending order, the data is arranged in ascending order of acquisition time, corresponding to the clothes racks from bottom to top. In this case, if the top rack is removed, the stacking position of the remaining racks below it remains unchanged; therefore, the mapping data corresponding to the clothes on the top rack can be directly deleted. If any rack below the top rack is removed, the stacking position of the remaining racks below it remains unchanged, while the stacking position of the remaining racks above it decreases by one position. Therefore, the order of the mapping data corresponding to the clothes on the remaining racks above that rack is reduced by one position.

[0065] Alternatively, the step of "selectively updating the sequence of the remaining mapping data based on the position of the clothes rack containing the clothes to be retrieved" specifically includes:

[0066] If the clothes rack containing the clothes to be taken is the bottom rack, then the order of the remaining mapping data is not updated.

[0067] If the clothes rack containing the clothes to be taken is not the bottom rack, then the sequence number of the RFID tag information of the clothes on all racks located below the clothes rack containing the clothes to be taken will be reduced by one.

[0068] In the above steps, when the mapping data is sorted in descending order, the data is arranged in descending order of acquisition time. This corresponds to the clothes racks being sorted from top to bottom. In this case, if the bottom rack is removed, the stacking position of the remaining racks above it remains unchanged. Therefore, the mapping data corresponding to the clothes on the bottom rack can be directly deleted. If any rack above the bottom rack is removed, the stacking position of the remaining racks above it remains unchanged, while the stacking position of the remaining racks below it is adjusted upwards by one. Therefore, the order of the mapping data corresponding to the clothes on the remaining racks below that rack is decreased by one.

[0069] Based on any of the above-mentioned intelligent wardrobe control methods, preferably, step S1 of "establishing and storing the mapping data between RFID tag information and its corresponding acquisition time" specifically includes:

[0070] In cases where multiple stacking areas are set up inside the cabinet, the RFID tag information of the clothing in each stacking area and the corresponding acquisition time mapping data are established and stored in parallel groups.

[0071] In the above steps, when multiple stacking areas are set up inside the cabinet, each stacking area can hold a row of clothes racks. In this case, the clothes in each stacking area need to be managed separately. The work of reading the RFID tag information of all clothes in each stacking area and establishing and storing the relevant mapping data are carried out in parallel. The relevant mapping data of the clothes in each stacking area are grouped and stored according to the different stacking areas. Specifically, each stacking area can be assigned a number. The RFID tag information and relevant mapping data in the same stacking area are stored in the corresponding number directory of that stacking area. The data of each stacking area can be added, removed, edited, or retrieved independently of the data of other stacking areas. When the smart wardrobe sends a prompt to the user about the clothes racks, in addition to the stacking position of the clothes racks, it can also provide the user with the stacking area number where the clothes racks are located.

[0072] In one possible implementation, each stacking area is equipped with an RFID reader. These RFID readers are assigned different numbers to distinguish the RFID tag information of clothing in different stacking areas, thus facilitating the grouping and storage of mapping data between the RFID tag information of clothing in different stacking areas and their corresponding acquisition times. Of course, those skilled in the art can also achieve grouped management of mapping data for different stacking areas in other ways, such as setting up multiple data storage units corresponding to different stacking areas, so that data fed back from the same stacking area is stored in the corresponding data storage unit, thereby achieving independent storage and use of the mapping data.

[0073] This invention also provides a smart wardrobe, which includes a cabinet body, multiple clothes racks, an RFID reading module, and a main control module. The multiple clothes racks can be stacked vertically within the cabinet body. The RFID reading module and the main control module are communicatively connected. The RFID reading module can read the RFID tag information of each garment on each rack in the stacking order as the racks containing clothing are placed inside the cabinet. It can also send all the read RFID tag information and the acquisition time corresponding to each RFID tag to the main control module. The main control module can receive all the RFID tag information and the acquisition time corresponding to each RFID tag from the RFID reading module, and establish and store mapping data between the RFID tag information and its corresponding acquisition time. Preferably, the RFID reading module is placed at the top rear of the stacking area inside the cabinet body so that it can read all the clothing stacked in the stacking area, and it is positioned away from the cabinet door area to prevent the RFID reading module from reading clothing worn by the user.

[0074] In the above steps, the RFID tag information acquisition time mainly refers to the time when the smart wardrobe acquires and processes the RFID tag information of the clothing. This acquisition time, besides the time when the RFID reading module reads the RFID tag information as described in the above embodiment, can also be the time when the RFID reading module sends the read RFID tag information to the main control module. In this case, the RFID reading module can immediately send the RFID tag information of each piece of clothing to the main control module for pre-storage after reading it, so that the main control module generates a reception time corresponding to the received RFID tag information, thus ensuring that each piece of clothing has its own acquisition time after its RFID tag information is sent to the main control module.

[0075] Furthermore, the aforementioned smart wardrobe is also equipped with a sensing module connected to the RFID reading module. This sensing module can detect the user's actions of taking or placing clothes racks, and directly or indirectly sends a start signal to the RFID reading module when it detects such actions. This ensures that the RFID reading module only reads information when the number of clothes in the wardrobe changes, resulting in timely information acquisition and energy saving. The sensing module is preferably located at the front of the stacking area near the wardrobe door to cover the user operation area at the front of the wardrobe.

[0076] Regarding the above, those skilled in the art will understand that the main components of a smart wardrobe are not limited to the preferred embodiments described above. For example, in cases where the voice module and the smart wardrobe can be set independently, the voice module can also be any device with voice and communication functions, such as a smart speaker or a smart home control terminal. In this case, the smart wardrobe can also include a communication module to enable information interaction with such devices.

[0077] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the clothes rack in the smart wardrobe of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the clothes rack of the smart wardrobe of the present invention includes a support plate 1 and support flanges 2 disposed on both sides of the support plate 1. When multiple clothes racks are stacked together, the lower clothes rack supports the upper clothes rack through the support flanges 2, so as to prevent the clothes on the clothes rack from wrinkling due to the pressure applied by the upper clothes rack. The upper part of the rear side (i.e. the side closer to the inside of the cabinet) of the support flange 2 is provided with a backward inclined slope structure 21. When the clothes rack is pulled out, the slope structure 21 on the rear side of the pulled-out clothes rack can guide the upper clothes rack to slide downward and provide support for the upper clothes rack before it is completely pulled out, so that the upper clothes rack can fall smoothly and steadily onto the lower clothes rack when the bottom clothes rack is pulled out. As an example, the upper part of the front side of the support flange 2 is provided with a forward inclined slope structure 21, so as to remove the front corner of the support flange 2 and prevent the user from being scratched by the clothes rack when picking up and putting down the clothes rack. In addition, a handle 3 is provided in the middle of the support plate 1 near the front edge, so that users can hold the clothes rack to pull it out, making it easier and more convenient to apply force.

[0078] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
