[0074] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0075] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can, for example, be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatus.

[0076] In the prior art, when a first user uses a shared washing machine to wash clothes, he or she searches for an idle shared washing machine, then puts the clothes to be washed into the idle shared washing machine and uses the shared washing machine to wash the clothes. However, during the process of washing the clothes in the shared washing machine, in order to prevent the first user's clothes from being lost, the shared washing machine will be locked, and the first user may leave. While the first user is away, the shared washing machine may have finished washing clothes. At this time, when the second user needs to use the shared washing machine to wash clothes, he or she needs to wait for the first user to come back and take out the clothes from the shared washing machine before the second user can use the shared washing machine for washing. It takes a long time for the second user to use the shared washing machine, resulting in low overall washing efficiency of the shared washing machine and low user experience.

[0077] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the technical concept of the present invention is that after the shared washing machine finishes washing the first user's clothes, if the second user needs to use the shared washing machine to wash clothes, a request is sent to the first user to make the first user agree that the second user can take out the clothes and place them in the specified location information. After the first user agrees, the shared washing machine is unlocked, and the second user takes out the first user's clothes from the shared washing machine, and then places his clothes in the shared washing machine for washing. The second user does not need to wait for the first user to take out the clothes in the shared washing machine before using the shared washing machine for washing, which reduces the time the second user waits for washing, and can improve the overall washing efficiency of the shared washing machine, improve user satisfaction, and provide a high user experience.

[0078] The preferred technical solutions of the control method, electronic device and shared washing machine of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the above-mentioned drawings.

[0079] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a scenario of a method for controlling a shared washing machine provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, when a user uses a shared washing machine 101 to wash clothes, the user connects to the electronic device 103 through the mobile terminal 102 to pay the washing fee, and then can use the shared washing machine 101 to wash clothes. The shared washing machine 101 is in a locked state when washing clothes, that is, it is locked. When washing is finished, the user can send an unlock request to the electronic device 103 through the mobile terminal 102. After receiving the unlock request, the electronic device 103 sends a corresponding unlock instruction to the shared washing machine 101 to control the shared washing machine 101 to unlock, so that the user can take out the clothes from the shared washing machine 101.

[0080] The mobile terminal 102 includes a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc. The electronic device includes a server, a computer, etc.

[0081] Figure 2Schematic diagram of the process of the control method of the shared washing machine provided by the embodiment of the present invention Figure 1 , the execution subject of this embodiment can be Figure 1 The electronic device in the embodiment shown. This embodiment is not particularly limited here. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0082] S201: After washing of clothes corresponding to a user corresponding to a first terminal in a shared washing machine is completed, a first unlocking request sent by a second terminal is obtained and forwarded to the first terminal.

[0083] For the convenience of description, this application refers to the user corresponding to the first terminal, that is, the user who uses the first terminal to operate the shared washing machine as the first user, and the user corresponding to the second terminal, that is, the user who uses the second terminal to operate the shared washing machine as the second user.

[0084] In this embodiment, when the first user uses a shared washing machine for washing, he places the clothes he wants to wash in the shared washing machine, that is, he places the corresponding clothes in the shared washing machine, and operates the start button and / or selects the washing mode to instruct the shared washing machine to start washing clothes.

[0085] When the shared washing machine starts washing clothes, it is locked and washes the clothes placed inside it according to the default washing mode or the washing mode selected by the user, that is, washes the clothes corresponding to the first user. When the washing is completed, that is, after the shared washing machine has finished washing the clothes corresponding to the first user, if the first user is not next to the shared washing machine, the first user may not be able to unlock it and take out the clothes. At this time, when the second user wants to use the shared washing machine, he can send a first unlock request to the electronic device for unlocking by the electronic device.

[0086] Optionally, when the first user operates the start button and / or selects the washing mode, he can operate the start button and / or select the washing mode on the shared washing machine, or select the start button and / or washing mode on the first terminal. The first terminal generates corresponding operation information based on the user's operation and sends it to the electronic device, so that the electronic device controls the shared washing machine to perform corresponding operations based on the operation information.

[0087] Specifically, the operation can be performed through a related application on the first terminal, that is, an application related to operating a shared washing machine, or by scanning a related QR code through the first terminal.

[0088] Furthermore, optionally, when the first user operates the start button and / or selects the washing mode on the shared washing machine, the first user has already paid the current fee. At the same time, the electronic device has already associated the first user with the shared washing machine, i.e., associated the first terminal with the identifier of the shared washing machine. Accordingly, upon receiving the unlock request sent by the first terminal, the electronic device controls the shared washing machine corresponding to the identifier of the shared washing machine corresponding to the first terminal to unlock. That is, the electronic device can determine the shared washing machine that washes the clothes corresponding to the user based on the existing correspondence.

[0089] It is understandable that when the first user uses the first terminal to make a payment, the first terminal needs to be connected to an electronic device so that the payment can be made through the electronic device.

[0090] In this embodiment, when the electronic device receives the first unlocking request sent by the second terminal, it sends the first unlocking request to the first terminal, and the first terminal displays it, so that the first user knows that the shared washing machine has completed washing his clothes and the second user needs to use the shared washing machine, so that the first user confirms whether he agrees to unlock so that the second user can use the shared washing machine to wash clothes.

[0091] The first unlock request includes second terminal information, which includes a second terminal identifier (eg, a phone number corresponding to the second terminal, an encrypted phone number, etc.).

[0092] It can be understood that when the second terminal collects the second terminal information, it is done with the authorization of the second user. Of course, when the second terminal sends the second terminal information to the electronic device, it is also done with the authorization of the second user.

[0093] Optionally, the first terminal or the second terminal is a mobile terminal.

[0094] S202: Acquire response information corresponding to the first unlocking request sent by the first terminal.

[0095] In this embodiment, after receiving the first unlocking request through the first terminal, the first user confirms it, that is, confirms whether to agree with the second user to take out the clothes in the shared washing machine, and generates corresponding response information, which includes agreement or disagreement to take out.

[0096] Specifically, when the first user agrees that the second user can take out the clothes placed in the shared washing machine, the first user can click the "Agree" button on the first terminal, and the first terminal will generate a response message, i.e., "Agree to take out." When the first user disagrees that the second user can take out the clothes placed in the shared washing machine, the first user can click the "Reject" button on the first terminal, and the first terminal will generate a response message, i.e., "Disagree to take out."

[0097] In this embodiment, after the first user confirms, that is, after the first terminal generates response information, the response information is sent to the electronic device, so that the electronic device determines whether to unlock the door according to the response information.

[0098] S203: Generate a first unlocking instruction according to the response information, and control the shared washing machine to unlock according to the first unlocking instruction.

[0099] In this embodiment, after receiving the response information sent by the first terminal, the electronic device determines whether the first user agrees to unlock the door based on the response information. When it is determined that the first user agrees to unlock the door, it generates a first unlocking instruction, and uses the first unlocking instruction to control the shared washing machine to unlock, so that the second user can take out the clothes corresponding to the first user from the shared washing machine, and place the clothes corresponding to the second user, that is, the clothes to be washed by the second user, into the shared washing machine, so that the shared washing machine can be used to wash the clothes.

[0100] Optionally, when the response information is for agreeing to take out, it is determined that the first user agrees to unlock; when the response information is for disagreeing to take out, it is determined that the first user disagrees to take out.

[0101] Optionally, when the shared washing machine is unlocked according to the first unlocking instruction, the first unlocking instruction is sent to the shared washing machine so that the shared washing machine is unlocked according to the first unlocking instruction. Alternatively, the first unlocking instruction is sent to the second terminal so that the second terminal controls the shared washing machine to unlock.

[0102] Specifically, the electronic device may directly send the first unlocking instruction to the shared washing machine, that is, the shared washing machine that washes the clothes corresponding to the first user. After receiving the first unlocking instruction, the shared washing machine responds to it, that is, unlocks it.

[0103] The electronic device may also send the first unlocking instruction to the second terminal so as to control the shared washing machine to be unlocked through the second terminal.

[0104] Furthermore, after receiving the first unlocking instruction, the second terminal generates an unlocking instruction and sends it to the shared washing machine to control the shared washing machine to unlock. Alternatively, the second terminal displays the first unlocking instruction so that the second user can perform the relevant unlocking operation on the shared washing machine according to the first unlocking instruction, that is, input the corresponding unlocking instruction to unlock the shared washing machine.

[0105] Optionally, the electronic lock on the shared washing machine is a password lock, and the first unlocking instruction, the unlocking instruction generated by the second terminal, and the unlocking instruction input by the second user may all include the password corresponding to the key lock.

[0106] In this embodiment, when the shared washing machine finishes washing the clothes corresponding to the first user, if the second user needs to use the shared washing machine to wash clothes, a relevant request can be sent to the electronic device. The electronic device remotely confirms whether the first user agrees to unlock to take out the clothes corresponding to the first user in the shared washing machine. After confirming that the first user agrees to unlock, the shared washing machine is controlled to unlock so that the second user can take out the clothes in the shared washing machine and use the shared washing machine to wash his corresponding clothes. There is no need to wait for the first user to take out the clothes in the shared washing machine before using the shared washing machine to wash clothes, which reduces the waiting time of the second user and improves the washing efficiency of the shared washing machine.

[0107] From the above description, it can be seen that after the shared washing machine has washed the clothes of the first user, if the second user needs to use the shared washing machine, the first unlock request is sent to the electronic device through the second terminal, and the electronic device forwards it to the first terminal, so that the first user knows that the shared washing machine has washed its clothes, and confirms with the first user whether it agrees with the second user to take out the clothes in the shared washing machine, so that the second user can use the shared washing machine to wash clothes. The first terminal generates corresponding response information according to the confirmation of the first user and sends it to the electronic device. When the electronic device determines that the first user agrees with the second user to take out the clothes according to the response information, it generates a first unlock instruction and controls the shared washing machine to unlock according to the first unlock instruction, so that the second user can take out the clothes corresponding to the first user from the shared washing machine, and then put the clothes corresponding to the second user into the shared washing machine for washing. The second user does not need to wait for the first user to take out the clothes in the shared washing machine before using the shared washing machine for washing, which reduces the time the second user waits for washing, and can improve the overall washing efficiency of the shared washing machine, improve user satisfaction, and provide a high user experience.

[0108] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the process of the control method of the shared washing machine provided by the embodiment of the present invention Figure 2 , this embodiment Figure 2 Based on the embodiment, after the shared washing machine is unlocked, the user corresponding to the second terminal can place the clothes corresponding to the user corresponding to the first terminal in the shared washing machine at the specific location information to avoid the clothes from being lost. The following will describe this process in detail with reference to a specific embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0109] S301: After washing of clothes corresponding to a user corresponding to a first terminal in a shared washing machine is completed, a first unlocking request sent by a second terminal is obtained and forwarded to the first terminal.

[0110] S302: Acquire response information corresponding to the first unlocking request sent by the first terminal.

[0111] S303: Generate a first unlocking instruction according to the response information, and control the shared washing machine to unlock according to the first unlocking instruction.

[0112] Optionally, upon receiving a second unlock request sent by the second terminal, identity authentication is performed according to the second unlock request to obtain a verification result; wherein the second unlock request is sent by the second terminal when the shared washing machine finishes washing the clothes corresponding to the user corresponding to the second terminal; if the verification result is successful, a second unlock instruction is generated and sent to the shared washing machine, so that the shared washing machine is unlocked according to the second unlock instruction.

[0113] In this embodiment, after the second user takes out the clothes corresponding to the first user from the shared washing machine, he can put the clothes that need to be washed into the shared washing machine, that is, put the clothes corresponding to the second user into the shared washing machine, and then make payment by operating the second terminal. After the payment is successful, operate the start button and / or select the washing mode through the shared washing machine and / or the second terminal to make the shared washing machine wash the clothes corresponding to the second user.

[0114] Optionally, after determining that the second user has completed payment, the electronic device sends a lock request to the shared washing machine to lock the shared washing machine. Of course, the lock request can also be sent by the electronic device after selecting the start button and / or washing mode on the second terminal.

[0115] It is understood that when the second terminal makes a payment, it also needs to be paid through the electronic device. At the same time, when the second user operates the second terminal to make a payment or operates the start button or selects the start mode through the second terminal, the electronic device matches the second terminal identifier with the identifier of the shared washing machine.

[0116] In this embodiment, the shared washing machine is locked during the washing process. When the shared washing machine finishes washing clothes, the second user sends a second unlock request to the shared washing machine via a second terminal. After receiving the second unlock request, the shared washing machine obtains the second terminal information (i.e., the second terminal identifier) ​​in the second unlock request and performs identity authentication based on this terminal information to obtain a verification result. If the verification result is successful, indicating that a shared washing machine corresponding to the second terminal identifier exists, the shared washing machine is then sent a second unlock instruction to the shared washing machine, causing it to unlock according to the second unlock instruction.

[0117] Optionally, when performing identity authentication based on the second terminal identifier, a preset storage location is searched for a shared washing machine identifier corresponding to the second terminal identifier. If so, the authentication result is determined to be successful. If not, the authentication result is determined to be failed.

[0118] S304: Obtain placement location information.

[0119] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the first user's corresponding clothes from being lost after the second user takes them out of the shared washing machine, it is necessary to remind the second user to place the first user's corresponding clothes in a designated location. The placement location information is determined so that the second user can place the first user's corresponding clothes in the location corresponding to the placement location information.

[0120] Optionally, when determining the placement location information, the information can be determined based on the usage status of the storage devices in the area where the shared washing machine is located. That is, the usage status of multiple storage devices is obtained, and the idle storage devices are determined based on the usage status of each storage device. The location information of the idle storage devices is obtained and determined as the placement location information.

[0121] Specifically, the usage status of each device in the area where the shared washing machine is located is obtained, including "in use" and "out of use." A storage device with an "in use" status is searched, i.e., a storage device where no user has placed clothing, and this storage device is designated as the target storage device. If there is only one target storage device, this target storage device can be directly determined as an idle storage device. If there are multiple target storage devices, one target storage device can be arbitrarily selected from the multiple target storage devices and designated as an idle storage device.

[0122] After determining an idle placement device, the location information of the idle placement device is searched and determined as the placement location information.

[0123] Optionally, the storage device includes a locker, specifically, a smart locker that can send its usage status to the electronic device. Accordingly, the location information of the storage device includes an identifier (eg, a number) of the storage device.

[0124] In addition, the placement location information may also be information of a preset placement location. For example, the preset placement location is on a storage platform within the area where the shared washing machine is located, and the corresponding placement location information is the specific location of the preset placement location, for example, to the left of the shared washing machine.

[0125] S305: Generate clothing placement prompt information including placement location information, and send the clothing placement prompt information to the shared washing machine, so that the shared washing machine outputs the clothing placement prompt information.

[0126] In this embodiment, after determining the placement location information, clothing placement prompt information including the placement location information of an idle storage device is generated according to a preset format. For example, the generated clothing placement prompt information is "Please place the clothes in the locker numbered 19" and sent to the shared washing machine, so that the shared washing machine outputs the clothing placement prompt, thereby allowing the second user to place the clothes in the shared washing machine, that is, the clothes corresponding to the first user, at the position corresponding to the placement location information, so as to avoid other users from mistakenly taking or accidentally taking the clothes corresponding to the first user, thereby avoiding the loss of the clothes corresponding to the first user.

[0127] Optionally, upon receiving the information indicating that the clothes have been placed from the storage device corresponding to the placement location information, a prompt message indicating that the clothes have been placed successfully is generated and sent to the first terminal. The information indicating that the clothes have been placed is generated when the storage device corresponding to the placement location information detects the clothes.

[0128] In this embodiment, when the second user places the clothes corresponding to the first user in the storage device corresponding to the placement location information, the storage device generates clothing placement information after detecting the clothes and sends it to the electronic device. After receiving the clothing placement information, the electronic device indicates that the second user has placed the clothes corresponding to the first user in the storage device, and then generates a clothing placement success prompt message and sends it to the first terminal. The first terminal displays it to let the first user know that the second user has placed his clothes in the designated location, that is, the storage device corresponding to the placement location information.

[0129] Optionally, when the storage device can determine whether there are clothes through relevant sensors (for example, weight sensors), it can also determine whether there are clothes through other methods (for example, taking photos).

[0130] Optionally, when the shared washing machine outputs the clothing placement prompt information, it can output it by voice or display it through a related display device (for example, a display screen on the shared washing machine).

[0131] In this embodiment, the electronic device controls the shared washing machine to unlock so that the second user can take out the clothes corresponding to the first user from the shared washing machine. To prevent the clothes corresponding to the first user from being lost, the electronic device obtains placement location information, that is, obtains information about the location where the second user needs to place the clothes corresponding to the first user, and then generates clothes placement reminder information containing the placement location information and sends it to the shared washing machine, so that the shared washing machine outputs the clothes placement reminder information, thereby reminding the second user to place the clothes corresponding to the first user on the storage device corresponding to the placement location information, so as to prevent other users from mistakenly taking the clothes corresponding to the first user and reduce the probability of clothes being lost.

[0132] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the process of the control method of the shared washing machine provided by the embodiment of the present invention Figure 3 , the execution subject of this embodiment can be Figure 1 The shared washing machine in the embodiment shown. This embodiment is not particularly limited here. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0133] S401. After washing of the clothes corresponding to the user corresponding to the first terminal in the shared washing machine is completed, a target unlocking instruction sent by the electronic device is obtained, wherein the target unlocking instruction is generated based on the first unlocking instruction, and the first unlocking instruction is generated by the electronic device based on the response information sent by the first terminal after receiving the first unlocking request sent by the second terminal and forwarding the first unlocking request to the first terminal.

[0134] S402: Unlock according to the target unlocking instruction.

[0135] In this embodiment, after the shared washing machine finishes washing the clothes placed in the washing tub, that is, after washing the clothes corresponding to the first user, the first user does not take out the clothes in time. At this time, if the second user wants to use the shared washing machine to wash clothes, he can operate on the second terminal to enable the second terminal to generate a first unlocking request and send it to the electronic device. After receiving the first unlocking request, the electronic device sends the first unlocking request to the first terminal to enable the first user to confirm whether he agrees to the second user to take out the clothes in the shared washing machine, and sends the corresponding response information to the electronic device. When the electronic device determines that the first user agrees to take out the clothes based on the response information, it generates a first unlocking instruction to control the shared washing machine to unlock according to the first unlocking instruction.

[0136] In this embodiment, when the shared washing machine obtains the target unlocking instruction generated according to the first unlocking instruction, it indicates that the first user has agreed to the second user taking out the clothes in the shared washing machine, and then unlocks it so that the second user can take out the clothes corresponding to the first user from the shared washing machine, and then place the clothes corresponding to the second user in the shared washing machine to use the shared washing machine to wash the clothes.

[0137] Optionally, the target unlock instruction includes one or more of a first unlock instruction, an unlock instruction generated by the second terminal, and an unlock instruction input by a second user. When the electronic device directly sends the first unlock instruction to the shared washing machine, the first unlock instruction is the target unlock instruction; when the electronic device sends the first unlock instruction to the second terminal, the target unlock instruction is the unlock instruction generated by the second terminal or the unlock instruction input by the second user.

[0138] Optionally, when the shared washing machine is unlocked, the electronic lock on the shared washing machine is turned on to achieve unlocking.

[0139] Furthermore, optionally, the electronic lock is an electronic lock on the door or lid of the shared washing machine. When the electronic lock is locked, the user cannot take out clothes from the shared washing machine, thereby avoiding the loss of clothes.

[0140] Optionally, the first user may leave the shared washing machine while washing his or her clothes. When the first user leaves and the shared washing machine finishes washing, the first user may be reminded that washing is finished so that the first user can take out the clothes in time. The specific process includes: after obtaining a leaving reminder request, obtaining the washing status of the shared washing machine; wherein the leaving reminder request is sent by the first terminal or generated based on an operation input by the user corresponding to the first terminal on the shared washing machine; sending the washing status of the shared washing machine to the electronic device, so that the electronic device sends a washing completion prompt message to the first terminal when the washing status indicates that washing is finished.

[0141] Specifically, during the process of the shared washing machine washing the clothes corresponding to the first user, the first user may leave the shared washing machine. After the first user leaves, in order to prevent the first user from not being able to know in time that the shared washing machine has finished washing, thereby causing the first user to be unable to take out the clothes in time, the first user can press the leave button on the shared washing machine when he needs to leave, and the shared washing machine generates a corresponding leave reminder request. Alternatively, the first user directly performs relevant operations on the first terminal (for example, clicking the leave button on the relevant application), and the first terminal responds to the first user's operation, generates a leave reminder request, and sends it to the electronic device. After receiving the leave reminder request, the electronic device forwards it to the shared washing machine to obtain the washing status of the shared washing machine.

[0142] Optionally, the departure reminder request generated by the first terminal includes an identifier of the first terminal. The electronic device searches for a shared washing machine identifier corresponding to the identifier of the first terminal and sends the departure reminder request to the shared washing machine corresponding to the shared washing machine identifier. Of course, the departure reminder request generated by the first terminal may also directly include the shared washing machine identifier.

[0143] Specifically, after generating or receiving a leaving reminder request, the shared washing machine obtains the washing status of the shared washing machine at preset time intervals and sends it to the electronic device. After receiving the washing status of the shared washing machine, the electronic device determines that the washing status is the end of washing, indicating that the shared washing machine has completed washing, that is, the shared washing machine has completed washing the clothes corresponding to the first user, and then generates a washing completion prompt message and sends it to the first terminal, so that the first user can promptly know that the shared washing machine has finished washing, so that the first user can take out the clothes in time.

[0144] In this embodiment, after the user takes out the first user's clothes, they place them on the placement location information and place the second user's corresponding clothes into the shared washing machine. When the shared washing machine receives a wash instruction, indicating that washing is required, it generates a lock instruction, locks the washing machine according to the lock instruction, and then washes the clothes in the washing tub.

[0145] Optionally, upon determining that the second user has operated a start button and / or selected a washing mode on the shared washing machine, the shared washing machine generates a washing instruction; or, upon receiving a start request or a washing request sent by the second terminal, the electronic device generates a washing instruction and forwards it to the shared washing machine. The washing request includes the washing mode selected by the second user.
