For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0060] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0061] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a control method of a laundry treating apparatus, comprising the following steps:

[0062] S10: The terminal device touches the near field communication tag;

[0063] S20: The terminal device acquires the laundry treating program instruction in the near field communication tag;

[0064] S30: The terminal device sends the acquired laundry treating program instruction to the laundry treating apparatus for execution;

[0065] S21: Before the terminal device sends the instruction of executing the laundry treating program to the laundry treating apparatus, it is judged whether the laundry treating apparatus currently supports executing the laundry treating program.

[0066] Specifically, the near field communication tag is bound to a designated clothes processing device, and the near field communication tag stores an instruction of sending the clothes processing device to execute a preset clothes processing program. Before the terminal device sends the instruction of executing the clothes processing program to the clothes processing device, the terminal device first judges whether the clothes processing device currently supports executing the clothes processing program.

[0067] In the embodiment, after the terminal device touches the near field communication tag, before the terminal device sends the instruction of executing the clothes processing program to the clothes processing device, the terminal device adds a step of judging whether the clothes processing device currently supports executing the clothes processing program, so that the phenomenon of misoperation of the clothes processing device caused by the user mis-touching the near field communication tag and the like can be effectively avoided, the security risk is reduced, and the safety of the operation of the clothes processing device is improved.

[0068] In the embodiment, the near field communication tag is an NFC tag, the terminal device has an NFC function, and has a designated application program for binding control of the clothes processing device.

[0069] Preferably, the terminal device is a mobile terminal with an NFC function, and more preferably, the terminal device is a mobile phone with an NFC function, and the mobile phone has an application program for binding control of the designated clothes processing device, so that the user can remotely control the clothes processing device bound thereto through the mobile phone, which is more convenient.

[0070] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 In another embodiment, the control method comprises the following steps:

[0071] S10: The terminal device touches the near field communication tag;

[0072] S20: The terminal device acquires the clothes processing program instruction in the near field communication tag;

[0073] S30: The terminal device sends the acquired clothes processing program instruction to the clothes processing device for execution;

[0074] S21: Before the terminal device sends the instruction of executing the clothes processing program to the clothes processing device, it is judged whether the clothes processing device currently supports executing the clothes processing program;

[0075] S221: If it is judged that the clothes processing device supports executing the clothes processing program, the instruction in the near field communication tag is normally sent to the clothes processing device;

[0076] S222: If it is judged that the clothes processing device does not support executing the clothes processing program, the sending of the instruction to the clothes processing device is suspended.

[0077] By adopting the above scheme, the phenomenon that the terminal device still sends the instruction of executing the clothes treatment program to the clothes treatment device in the case that the clothes treatment device does not support executing the clothes treatment program is effectively avoided. In the case that the clothes treatment device does not support executing the clothes treatment program, the sending of the instruction to the clothes treatment device is suspended, and the safety accident is effectively prevented, and the safety hidden danger is solved.

[0078] As shown in Figure 3 In the embodiment, the judging whether the clothes treatment device currently supports executing the clothes treatment program includes the following steps:

[0079] S211: obtaining the current state of the clothes treatment device and / or the clothes information in the clothes treatment device;

[0080] S212: the control module of the terminal device judges whether the clothes treatment device supports executing the clothes treatment program according to the obtained current state of the clothes treatment device and / or the clothes information.

[0081] Specifically, the terminal device obtains the current state of the clothes treatment device and / or the clothes information in the clothes treatment device, and the control module of the terminal device infers whether the clothes treatment device supports executing the clothes treatment program instruction stored in the NFC tag according to the obtained current state of the clothes treatment device and / or the clothes information in the clothes treatment device, and feeds back the inference result to the control unit of the terminal device, and the control unit controls whether the terminal device sends the instruction in the NFC tag to the clothes treatment device according to the inference result.

[0082] In an embodiment, the clothes information includes whether there is clothes in the inner barrel of the clothes treatment device, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0083] S501: detecting whether the clothes have been put into the inner barrel by the clothes recognition module;

[0084] S5021: if it is detected that the clothes have been put into the inner barrel, the terminal device normally sends the instruction in the near field communication tag to the clothes treatment device;

[0085] S5022: if it is detected that the clothes have not been put into the inner barrel, the terminal device suspends sending the instruction in the near field communication tag to the clothes treatment device.

[0086] The clothes recognition module can be a weight sensing module or an infrared sensing module or an image recognition module, etc. The clothes recognition module is used to detect whether the clothes have been put into the inner barrel. If it is detected that the clothes have not been put into the inner barrel, the terminal device suspends sending the instruction to the clothes treatment device.

[0087] In this embodiment, after the terminal device touches the near-field communication tag, before sending the instruction to the clothing processing device to execute the clothing processing program, it needs to first detect whether there are clothes in the inner drum of the clothing processing device. If it is detected that there are no clothes in the inner drum, the terminal device will stop sending the instruction in the near-field communication tag to the clothing processing device. This effectively avoids the potential danger of the washing machine running empty due to the user accidentally touching the near-field communication tag, prevents safety accidents, and eliminates safety hazards.

[0088] Furthermore, the control method further includes the following steps:

[0089] S503: When it is detected that no clothes are placed in the inner drum, the terminal device sends a request confirmation message to the user asking whether to continue sending the instructions in the near field communication tag;

[0090] S5031: If the terminal device receives a signal confirming the operation from the user within a set time, it shall normally send the instruction to the clothing processing device.

[0091] S5032: If no user confirmation signal is received within the set time, the terminal device will send a message to the user indicating that the instruction is invalid.

[0092] By adopting the above scheme, when no clothes are detected in the inner drum, a request confirmation message is sent to the terminal device to ask whether to continue sending instructions from the near-field communication tag. This serves to remind the user and ensures the safety of the clothing processing equipment. It gives the user an extra opportunity to make a change, avoiding the situation where the clothing recognition module malfunctions and other reasons cause misjudgments, directly suspending the sending of instructions to the clothing processing equipment, which would prevent the clothing processing equipment from executing the clothing processing program normally. This makes the entire control method more user-friendly and reasonable.

[0093] Or in another implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the clothing information also includes the material information of the clothing. If clothing is detected inside the inner drum, the following steps are then executed:

[0094] S5041: If clothing is detected inside the inner drum, the material information of the clothing is further detected by the clothing material detection module.

[0095] S5042: Determine whether the material of the inner garment is compatible with the garment processing procedure in the near-field communication tag obtained by the terminal device;

[0096] S5043: If compatible, the terminal device will send the instructions in the near-field communication tag to the garment processing device normally;

[0097] S5044: If incompatible, the terminal device will suspend sending instructions from the near-field communication tag to the garment handling device.

[0098] Preferably, when it is judged that the material of the clothes is not matched with the clothes processing program in the NFC tag acquired by the terminal device, a prompt information is sent to the user.

[0099] For example, when it is detected that the material of the clothes put in is silk, and the clothes processing program in the NFC tag acquired by the terminal device is strong washing program or wool washing, it is inferred that the current clothes in the inner barrel are not matched with the clothes processing program, and the terminal device is controlled to suspend sending the instruction in the NFC tag to the clothes processing device.

[0100] By using the above scheme, the current clothes put in can be effectively matched with the clothes processing program in the NFC tag, and damage to the clothes or the washing machine is avoided.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 5, in another embodiment, the clothes information further includes humidity information of the clothes, and if it is detected that there are clothes in the inner barrel, the following steps are further executed: Figure 7 S5051: If it is detected that clothes are put in the inner barrel, the humidity information of the clothes is further detected by the humidity detection module;

[0102] S5052: It is judged whether the humidity of the clothes is matched with the clothes processing program in the NFC tag acquired by the terminal device;

[0103] S5053: If matched, the terminal device normally sends the instruction in the NFC tag to the clothes processing device;

[0104] S5054: If not matched, the terminal device suspends sending the instruction in the NFC tag to the clothes processing device.

[0105] Preferably, when it is judged that the humidity of the clothes is not matched with the clothes processing program in the NFC tag acquired by the terminal device, a prompt information is sent to the user.

[0106] For example, when it is detected that the clothes put in are wet clothes, and the clothes processing program in the NFC tag acquired by the terminal device is washing program, it is inferred that the current clothes in the inner barrel are not matched with the clothes processing program, and the terminal device is controlled to suspend sending the instruction in the NFC tag to the clothes processing device.

[0107] Or, when it is detected that the clothes put in are dry clothes, and the clothes processing program in the NFC tag acquired by the terminal device is drying program, it is inferred that the current clothes in the inner barrel are not matched with the clothes processing program, and the terminal device is controlled to suspend sending the instruction in the NFC tag to the clothes processing device.

[0108] Or, when it is detected that the clothes put in are dry clothes, and the clothes processing program in the NFC tag acquired by the terminal device is drying program, it is inferred that the current clothes in the inner barrel are not matched with the clothes processing program, and the terminal device is controlled to suspend sending the instruction in the NFC tag to the clothes processing device.

[0109] By adopting the above scheme, the phenomenon of mismatch between the currently put clothes and the clothes processing program in the near field communication tag and the misoperation can be effectively solved.

[0110] As shown in another embodiment, the current state of the clothes processing device includes standby and running states, and specifically includes the following steps: Figure 8

[0111] S601: Determine whether the clothes processing device is currently in standby or running state;

[0112] S6011: If it is determined that the clothes processing device is in standby state, the terminal device normally sends the instruction in the near field communication tag to the clothes processing device;

[0113] S6012: If it is determined that the clothes processing device is in running state, the terminal device suspends sending the instruction in the near field communication tag to the clothes processing device.

[0114] In the above scheme, after the terminal device touches the near field communication tag, before sending the instruction for executing the clothes processing program to the clothes processing device, it is necessary to determine the current state of the clothes processing device. When it is determined that the clothes processing device is in running state, the terminal device suspends sending the instruction in the near field communication tag to the clothes processing device, thereby effectively avoiding the phenomenon of chaotic execution of control instruction.

[0115] Further, in another embodiment, if it is determined that the clothes processing device is in running state, the following steps are further performed:

[0116] Obtain the running information of the clothes processing device, the running information including the type of currently executed program and / or the time length of currently executed program and / or the remaining execution time of current program, and control the running information to be synchronously displayed on the terminal device.

[0117] By displaying the running information of the clothes processing device on the terminal device, the user can intuitively understand the type and progress of the currently executed clothes processing program, which facilitates the user to arrange subsequent work and provides certain convenience for the user.

[0118] Further, in another embodiment, if it is determined that the clothes processing device is in running state, the following steps are further performed:

[0119] The terminal device sends the request confirmation information to the user whether to control the clothes processing device to suspend the execution of the current program and execute the clothes processing program in the near field communication tag.

[0120] ​If the information of the user confirmation operation is not received within the set time, the clothes treatment apparatus is controlled to normally execute the current program, and after the current program is completed, the instruction in the near field communication tag is transmitted to the clothes treatment apparatus again.

[0121] For example, a user is in a hurry to go out and wants to quickly dry clothes, and the clothes treatment apparatus is executing a washing or sterilization program. If a long time is needed to wait for the current program to be completed, the user can suspend the current program of the clothes treatment apparatus according to actual needs to execute the clothes treatment program in the NFC tag, thereby providing a certain convenience for the user.

[0122] In another embodiment, the current state of the clothes treatment apparatus includes whether the door lock of the clothes treatment apparatus is in a locked state. When it is determined that the door lock is in the locked state, the instruction to execute the clothes treatment program is transmitted to the clothes treatment apparatus. By using the above scheme, the phenomenon of related safety accidents caused by the fact that the door body of the clothes treatment apparatus is not locked is effectively avoided.

[0123] The embodiment also provides a clothes treatment apparatus controlled by the control method of the clothes treatment apparatus. The clothes treatment apparatus can be a pulsator washing machine, a drum washing machine, a washer-dryer, or the like. The clothes treatment apparatus and the terminal device are connected in communication through a wireless communication module. The clothes treatment program can be a specific washing program, a drying program, a care program, or the like.

[0124] In the example, the near field communication tag is an NFC tag, the terminal device has an NFC function and has a specific application program for binding control of the clothes treatment apparatus.

[0125] As shown in Figure 9 The control method of the clothes treatment apparatus specifically includes the following steps:

[0126] S1: The NFC tag is pre-written with an instruction to control the clothes treatment apparatus bound to the terminal device to execute a preset washing program.

[0127] S2: The NFC function of the terminal device is turned on, the NFC tag is touched, and the washing program instruction in the NFC tag is acquired.

[0128] S3: The control module of the terminal device acquires the current state of the clothes treatment apparatus and / or clothes information.

[0129] S4: The control module of the terminal device determines whether the clothes treatment apparatus supports execution of the washing program. If yes, step S5 is executed. If no, step S7 is executed.

[0130] S5: The terminal device sends an instruction to execute the washing program in the NFC tag to the clothes processing device;

[0131] S6: After receiving the instruction, the clothes processing device executes the corresponding washing program according to the instruction;

[0132] S7: The terminal device controls to suspend sending the instruction to execute the washing program in the NFC tag to the clothes processing device.

[0133] The control method of the clothes processing device provided by the embodiment writes the instruction to control the clothes processing device bound with the terminal device to execute a specified washing program in the NFC tag in advance. When there is a laundry demand, only needs to use the terminal device with NFC function to touch the NFC tag to obtain the instruction in the NFC tag, and can directly send the instruction to execute the washing program to the clothes processing device, without manually selecting / starting the washing program in the application interface of the terminal device or the control panel of the clothes processing device. The washing method is more convenient and fast.

[0134] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and does not limit the present application in any form. Although the present application has been disclosed as above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-mentioned technical content without departing from the technical solution of the present application, and any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above-mentioned embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application still belong to the scope of the present application.
