[0003] In related technologies, clothes processing devices with voice recognition functions usually use a voice instruction matching method to realize control. Specifically, the method requires a user to say a wake-up word, and then the clothes processing device matches the collected wake-up word with a stored preset wake-up word, and after successful matching, executes an instruction corresponding to the wake-up word.

[0043] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates exemplary embodiments of this application, including various details to aid understanding. These should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0044] Clothing processing equipment is being upgraded to include voice functionality. Specifically, when the clothing processing equipment is running, it will collect voice information from the user. If the voice information includes a wake-up word and the wake-up word matches a stored preset wake-up word, then the instruction corresponding to the wake-up word will be executed. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of garment processing equipment in related technologies. Figure 1 The clothing processing equipment shown generates significant noise during operation, resulting in the collection of noise in the wake-up word. This prevents the collected wake-up word from successfully matching the preset wake-up word, thus hindering the accurate execution of the instruction corresponding to the wake-up word.

[0045] Therefore, the control method of the clothes processing device provided in the embodiments of the present application reduces the running speed of the clothes processing device when the matching degree of the voice signal collected by the audio collection device and the preset wake-up word reaches the set range, so as to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the clothes processing device, reduce the interference of the noise on the voice signal, and enable the voice signal to be matched successfully with the preset wake-up word in the subsequent interaction process. Then, the clothes processing device can execute the instruction corresponding to the voice signal, so as to realize accurate control of the clothes processing device.

[0046] The execution subject of the control method of the clothes processing device provided in the embodiments of the present application can be the clothes processing device or a control device capable of controlling the clothes processing device, such as a server or a terminal device. The following embodiments take the clothes processing device as an example to illustrate the control method of the clothes processing device provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0047] The clothes processing device in the embodiments of the present application should be understood in a broad sense, that is, the clothes processing device can be understood as a washing machine, a dryer, or a washing-drying integrated machine. When the clothes processing device is a washing machine, it performs washing treatment on clothes. When the clothes processing device is a dryer, it performs drying treatment on clothes by using high temperature.

[0048] Regardless of whether the clothes processing device is a washing machine, a dryer, or a washing-drying integrated machine, it includes an audio collection device, which is used to collect voice signals around the clothes processing device. The audio collection device can be, for example, a sound sensor and / or a microphone, and can be installed on the control panel or the shell of the clothes processing device.

[0049] Figure 2 A flowchart of a control method of a clothes processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the control method of the clothes processing device provided in the embodiments of the present application mainly applies to the process in which the clothes processing device is running, so that the clothes processing device can still respond to the wake-up word issued by the user when the clothes processing device is running and noise is generated, and accurate control of the clothes processing device is realized. Figure 2

[0050] The control method of the clothes processing device provided in the embodiments of the present application mainly includes the following steps:

[0051] S101: If the matching degree of the voice signal collected by the audio collection device and the preset wake-up word is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value, the speed of the clothes processing device is reduced until the matching degree of the voice signal collected by the audio collection device and the preset wake-up word is not less than the second threshold value, and the clothes processing device is controlled according to the voice signal. The second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value.

[0052] ​Specifically, S101 can be mainly summarized as three steps: performing a matching degree obtaining operation, performing a rotating speed control operation, and repeatedly performing the matching degree obtaining operation and the rotating speed control operation until the matching degree of the voice signal collected by the audio collection device and the preset wake-up word is not less than a second threshold value, and then controlling the clothes processing device according to the voice signal.

[0053] The matching degree obtaining operation is to obtain the voice signal collected by the audio collection device and determine the matching degree of the voice signal and the preset wake-up word. Here, the voice signal can be understood as any sound emitted near the clothes processing device and capable of being collected by the audio collection device. For example, when the clothes processing device is running, if the user emits a wake-up word and the television is playing, the audio collection device can simultaneously collect the sound emitted by the user, the animal sound played by the television, and the noise and water sound generated by the running clothes processing device.

[0054] The preset wake-up word includes an instruction for controlling the running of the clothes processing device, and the preset wake-up word can be, for example, "turn off the clothes processing device", "switch to the fast washing mode", "play music", etc. It should be understood that the noise, water sound, animal sound played by the television, and other noises collected by the audio collection device cannot match the preset wake-up word, and the sound emitted by the user in the voice signal can match the preset wake-up word.

[0055] The rotating speed control operation is to reduce the rotating speed of the clothes processing device when the matching degree of the voice signal and the preset wake-up word is within a set range. The lower limit of the set range is the first threshold value, and the upper limit of the set range is the second threshold value. The second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value, and the first threshold value is greater than 0%, and the second threshold value is less than 100%. That is, when the matching degree of the voice signal and the preset wake-up word is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value, it indicates that the voice signal collected by the audio collection device is similar to part of the preset wake-up word, and the voice signal can be the preset wake-up word. By reducing the rotating speed of the clothes processing device, the running noise of the clothes processing device is reduced, and the voice signal can be more accurately identified, so that the voice signal can be successfully matched with the preset wake-up word in the subsequent interaction process, to achieve accurate control of the clothes processing device.

[0056] The first threshold value and the second threshold value can be set by the user or pre-set by the manufacturer, which is not specifically limited here. For example, the first threshold value can be 30% or 40%, and the second threshold value can be 50% or 60%. In this embodiment, different first threshold values and second threshold values can also be set according to the running scene of the clothes processing device. When the noise of the surrounding environment is large (for example, the room where the clothes processing device is located is next to a construction site), the value of the first threshold value can also be large.

[0057] Here, the reducing of the rotation speed of the clothes processing apparatus should be understood in a broad sense, i.e., the rotation speed of the clothes processing apparatus can be reduced by a preset difference value, which is not limited, for example, the preset difference value can be 10 r / min or 15 r / min.

[0058] For example, assuming that the initial running rotation speed of the clothes processing apparatus is 100 r / min, the voice signal collected by the audio collection device is obtained, and the matching degree of the voice signal and the preset wake-up word is determined, when the matching degree of the voice signal and the preset wake-up word is within the set range, the running rotation speed of the clothes processing apparatus is reduced by 10 r / min to 90 r / min, and then the foregoing operation is repeated until the matching degree of the voice signal and the preset wake-up word is not less than the second threshold value.

[0059] Alternatively, the reducing of the rotation speed of the clothes processing apparatus can also mean reducing the rotation speed of the clothes processing apparatus to a preset rotation speed. The preset rotation speed is not limited, for example, the preset rotation speed can be 0 r / min, i.e., the clothes processing apparatus is controlled to stop running. Because the clothes processing apparatus stops running, in the subsequent interaction process, the clothes processing apparatus will not produce noise and water sound, and when the matching degree obtaining operation is performed for the second time, the interference of the voice signal is greatly reduced, and the matching degree of the voice signal and the preset wake-up word can be greatly improved. As can be seen, under the premise that the voice signal is disturbed by the noise and water sound of the running clothes processing apparatus and cannot be successfully matched with the preset wake-up word, in this way, the clothes processing apparatus can only perform the matching degree obtaining operation twice, and the instruction corresponding to the voice signal can be accurately executed.

[0060] Because the rotation speed of the clothes processing apparatus is reduced, the noise of the running clothes processing apparatus is reduced, therefore, the voice signal is not disturbed by the noise, and the voice signal is more likely to be successfully matched with the preset wake-up word. When the matching degree of the voice signal collected by the audio collection device and the preset wake-up word is not less than the second threshold value, the clothes processing apparatus is controlled according to the voice signal. For example, when the matching degree of the voice signal collected by the audio collection device and the preset wake-up word "play music" is higher than the second threshold value, the voice signal is successfully matched with the preset wake-up word "play music", the clothes processing apparatus executes the instruction corresponding to "play music", and then controls the speaker of the clothes processing apparatus to play music.

[0061] It can be understood that the voice signals issued by the user multiple times can be the same voice signal or different voice signals. When the voice signals issued by the user multiple times are different voice signals, the clothes processing apparatus can be controlled according to the voice acquisition signal obtained by the audio acquisition device for the first time, wherein the matching degree of the voice acquisition signal and the preset wake-up word is within the set range.

[0062] It can be understood that the voice signals issued by the user multiple times can be the same voice signal or different voice signals. When the voice signals issued by the user multiple times are different voice signals, the clothes processing apparatus can be controlled according to the voice acquisition signal obtained by the audio acquisition device for the first time, wherein the matching degree of the voice acquisition signal and the preset wake-up word is within the set range.

[0063] Alternatively, the clothes processing apparatus can also be controlled according to the voice control signal obtained by the audio acquisition device for the last time. The specific implementation steps of the embodiment are as follows:

[0064] Step 1: determining the voice control signal obtained by the audio acquisition device for the last time, wherein the matching degree of the voice control signal and the preset wake-up word is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

[0065] Step 2: controlling the clothes processing apparatus according to the voice control signal obtained by the audio acquisition device for the last time.

[0066] Compared with the voice acquisition signal, the voice control signal is the control instruction that the user wants to issue at present, as the voice control signal is the voice signal successfully matched by the user for the last time. Therefore, controlling the clothes processing apparatus according to the voice control signal is more in line with the user's demand.

[0067] S102: obtaining a voice control duration, wherein the voice control duration is the duration between a first time and a second time, the first time is the time when the speed of the clothes processing apparatus is reduced for the first time, and the second time is the time when the clothes processing apparatus is controlled according to the voice signal.

[0068] The purpose of this step is to obtain the duration for which the matching degree of the voice signal obtained by the audio acquisition device and the preset wake-up word is improved from the set range to not less than the second threshold. In general, it is to obtain the total interaction duration of the clothes processing apparatus and the user until the clothes processing apparatus can identify that the voice signal issued by the user is the preset wake-up word.

[0069] For example, the laundry treating apparatus repeatedly performs the matching degree acquisition operation three times, and the matching degrees of the first two times are in the set range, the laundry treating apparatus performs the rotation speed control operation twice, the matching degree of the third time is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, and the laundry treating apparatus is controlled according to the voice signal. At this time, the first time is the time when the rotation speed control operation is performed for the first time, the second time is the time when the matching degree is not less than the second threshold value for the last time, and the laundry treating apparatus performs the instruction corresponding to the voice signal. The voice control duration reflects the duration required for the user to interact with the laundry treating apparatus three times.

[0070] S103: Adjust the working parameter of the laundry treating apparatus according to the voice control duration, the working parameter including at least one of the rotation speed of the laundry treating apparatus, the remaining working duration, or the washing and drying number.

[0071] The laundry treating apparatus has multiple operation modes, and the working parameter of the laundry treating apparatus is not limited to the working parameter in a certain operation mode, but can refer to the working parameter in any operation mode. For example, when the laundry treating apparatus is a washing machine, the washing machine has a standard mode, a quick wash mode, a wool mode, a gentle mode, a silent wash mode, etc. The washing machine has a washing, rinsing, and spinning program in the standard mode, and accordingly, the rotation speed of the laundry treating apparatus can refer to the rotation speed during washing, the rotation speed during rinsing, or the rotation speed during spinning, and the washing and drying number of the laundry treating apparatus can refer to the washing number, the rinsing number, or the spinning number.

[0072] In summary, the control method of the laundry treating apparatus provided in this embodiment reduces the rotation speed of the laundry treating apparatus when the matching degree is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value, so that the noise generated by the operation of the laundry treating apparatus is reduced, and the interference of the noise on the voice signal is reduced. Then, the collected voice signal is repeatedly matched with the preset wake-up word, and the rotation speed of the laundry treating apparatus is reduced when the matching degree is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value. Because the voice signal is less affected by the noise, the matching degree of the voice signal and the preset wake-up word in the subsequent interaction process is improved until the matching degree is not less than the second threshold value, the voice signal and the preset wake-up word are matched successfully, and the laundry treating apparatus is controlled according to the voice signal. Thus, accurate control of the laundry treating apparatus is achieved.

[0073] In addition, by obtaining the duration of the laundry treating apparatus from the first time of reducing the rotation speed to the time of executing the corresponding instruction according to the voice signal, the duration of the interaction between the laundry treating apparatus and the user can be known, and the working parameter of the laundry treating apparatus is adjusted accordingly to reduce the influence of the interaction process on the operation of the laundry treating apparatus as much as possible.

[0074] Figure 3A flowchart of a control method of a laundry treating apparatus according to another embodiment of the present application is provided. On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be known that the specific implementation process of step S101 can refer to the following steps:

[0075] S1011: Acquire the voice signal collected by the audio collection device;

[0076] S1012: Identify the voice signal and determine the matching degree between the voice signal and the preset wake-up word. The execution subject of this step is the voice recognition module, wherein the voice recognition module can be a server or a terminal device associated with the laundry treating apparatus.

[0077] As an implementable manner, the server can pre-establish an acoustic model, and then analyze the acoustic characteristics of the voice signal according to the acoustic model, so as to determine the feature similarity between the acoustic characteristics of the voice signal and the acoustic characteristics of the preset wake-up word, and determine the matching degree between the voice signal and the preset wake-up word according to the feature similarity. The acoustic model can refer to related technologies, and will not be described here.

[0078] S1013: Determine whether the matching degree is less than or equal to a first threshold value; if yes, execute step S1014; if no, execute step S1015.

[0079] S1014: If the laundry treating apparatus is running, the laundry treating apparatus maintains the running speed to treat the laundry.

[0080] S1015: Determine whether the matching degree is greater than or equal to a second threshold value; if yes, execute step S1016; if no, reduce the speed of the laundry treating apparatus, and return to continue executing S1011.

[0081] S1016: Control the laundry treating apparatus according to the voice signal acquired in S1011.

[0082] In this way, in the present embodiment, when the matching degree operation is performed, the matching degree between the voice signal and the preset wake-up word is determined by analyzing the acoustic characteristics of the voice signal.

[0083] Further, after reducing the speed of the laundry treating apparatus, a voice prompt message can also be sent, which is used to prompt the user to continue to issue the wake-up word, so as to ensure that the audio collection device can collect the voice signal when the matching degree acquisition operation is repeatedly performed.

[0084] Figure 4 A flowchart of a control method of a laundry treating apparatus according to another embodiment of the present application is provided. On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, reference is made toFigure 2 and Figure 4 The specific implementation process of adjusting the working parameter of the clothes processing device according to the voice control duration is as follows:

[0085] S1031: determining whether the voice control duration is less than a set duration.

[0086] The set duration is less than the total duration of the operation of the clothes processing device. The set duration can be designed according to user demand and actual experience, and can be preset by updating the program code of the clothes processing device. The clothes processing device has multiple operation modes. Taking a clothes dryer as an example, the clothes dryer has a fast drying mode, a standard drying mode, a wool drying mode, etc. At this time, the total duration of the operation of the clothes processing device can be understood as the duration required for the clothes processing device to operate in any mode.

[0087] Based on this, the set duration can be understood as being less than the minimum total duration, and the minimum total duration refers to the shortest duration required for the clothes processing device to execute various modes. For example, the set duration can be 1 min or 90 s, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0088] S1032: if the voice control duration is greater than or equal to the set duration, obtaining a control mode corresponding to the clothes processing device, the control mode being a delay control or a non-delay control.

[0089] The meaning of this step is to determine whether the control mode of the clothes processing device is delay control or non-delay control when the voice control duration is not less than the set duration. As known from the above, in the process of controlling the clothes processing device according to the voice signal from the matching degree obtaining operation to the speed control operation until the matching degree of the voice signal and the preset wake-up word is not less than the second threshold, the clothes processing device and the user interact for the voice control duration. That is, in the interaction process, in order to reduce the interference of noise on the voice signal, the clothes processing device reduces the running speed, and the speed reduction and the process of voice interaction with the user will delay the original running program of the clothes processing device.

[0090] The delay control means that the influence of the speed reduction and the voice interaction process on the running program and the running duration of the clothes processing device is not considered, so that the running program of the clothes processing device cannot end at the originally expected end time. The delay control refers to the control mode corresponding to the extension of the running duration of the clothes processing device. At this time, the end time of the clothes processing device processing clothes is extended.

[0091] On the contrary, the non-delay control is to consider the speed reduction and the influence of the voice interaction process on the operation program and operation time of the clothes processing device, so as to ensure that the total operation time of the clothes processing device is unchanged. It can be understood that the non-delay control refers to the control mode in which the operation time of the clothes processing device is not extended, and at this time, the operation program of the clothes processing device can still end at the originally expected end time.

[0092] S1033: Adjust the working parameter of the clothes processing device according to the control mode.

[0093] On the basis of S1032, the specific implementation mode of S1033 is:

[0094] If the control mode is the delay control mode, the speed of the clothes processing device is adjusted to the first speed, and the first speed is the speed of the clothes processing device before the first speed reduction.

[0095] Exemplarily, the washing machine runs in a standard program, when the washing machine washes clothes at a speed of 120 r / min, the operation time is 10:20, and the remaining time is 30 min, the matching degree of the voice signal obtained by the washing machine with the preset wake-up word is in the set range and the speed is reduced to 0, then the washing machine interacts with the user voice, and the voice time reaches 2 min, if the control mode is the delay control, the washing machine restores to the original operation program, and thus the speed of the washing machine is adjusted to 120 r / min. In this embodiment, the washing machine will end the processing of the clothes at 10:52 min. It can be seen that the total operation time of the washing machine is extended.

[0096] If the control mode is the non-delay control mode, the current operation mode of the clothes processing device is obtained, and the working parameter of the clothes processing device is adjusted according to the current operation mode.

[0097] The clothes processing device includes a display circuit board and a display screen, and the display circuit board can read the operation mode selected by the user and display the operation mode on the display screen. In this embodiment, the clothes processing device can obtain the current operation mode of the clothes processing device by reading the operation mode selected by the user stored in the display circuit board. Specifically, according to the current operation mode, the working parameter of the clothes processing device can include the following steps:

[0098] Step 1: According to the current operation mode, the priority condition is determined.

[0099] Taking a laundry treating device as an example, when the laundry treating device is selected by a user to run in a standard mode, the user's consideration focuses on that the washing and rinsing times of the laundry treating device cannot be too few, and therefore the condition that the standard mode gives priority to is the washing and rinsing and drying and protecting times. When the laundry treating device is selected by the user to run in a quick washing mode, the user's consideration focuses on that the washing time, the rinsing time and the spinning time cannot be too long, so that the laundry can be washed clean in a shorter time, and therefore the condition that the quick washing mode gives priority to is the running time. When the laundry treating device is selected by the user to run in a wool mode or a gentle mode, the user's consideration focuses on that the material of the laundry to be washed is precious, and the laundry cannot be damaged, and therefore the conditions that the wool mode and the gentle mode give priority to are the material of the laundry. When the laundry treating device is selected by the user to run in a quiet washing mode, the user's consideration focuses on that the noise of the laundry treating device cannot be too large, and therefore the condition that the quiet washing mode gives priority to is the noise.

[0100] In general, the priority condition can include the running time, the washing and rinsing and drying and protecting times, the noise and the material of the laundry.

[0101] In this step, the word meaning of the current running mode can be acquired, and the priority condition is determined according to the word meaning. For example, when the current running mode acquired is the quick washing mode, the priority condition can be determined as the running time, and when the current running mode acquired is the wool mode, the priority condition can be determined as the material of the laundry.

[0102] Step 2: If the priority condition is the running time, the speed of the laundry treating device is increased, or the washing and rinsing and drying and protecting times are reduced. In this way, when the priority condition of the current running mode of the laundry treating device is the running time, the non-delay control is realized by increasing the speed and reducing the washing and rinsing and drying and protecting times, so as to ensure that the running time of each program of the laundry treating device will not be shortened.

[0103] Step 3: If the priority condition is the washing and rinsing and drying and protecting times, the speed of the laundry treating device is increased. In this way, when the priority condition of the current running mode of the laundry treating device is the washing and rinsing and drying and protecting times, the non-delay control is realized by increasing the speed of the laundry treating device, so as to realize the non-delay control and also avoid reducing the washing and rinsing and drying and protecting times, thereby being beneficial to ensuring that the laundry can be washed clean.

[0104] Step 4: If the priority condition is the noise, the washing and rinsing and drying and protecting times are reduced, or the remaining working time of the laundry treating device is shortened. In this way, when the priority condition of the current running mode of the laundry treating device is the noise, the non-delay control is realized by reducing the washing and rinsing and drying and protecting times and shortening the remaining working time, instead of realizing the non-delay control by increasing the speed, so as to avoid that the noise of the laundry treating device is too large due to the increase of the speed.

[0105] Step 5: If the priority condition is the material of the clothes, the number of washing, bleaching, drying and protecting is reduced, or the remaining working time of the clothes processing device is shortened. In this way, when the priority condition of the current operation mode of the clothes processing device is the material of the clothes, the non-delay is realized by reducing the number of washing, bleaching, drying and protecting and shortening the remaining working time, instead of realizing the non-delay by increasing the rotating speed, so as to avoid the clothes processing device from being damaged due to the increase of the rotating speed.

[0106] Through the above setting, when the voice control time is not less than the set time, the working parameters of the clothes processing device are adjusted according to the delay control or the non-delay control, so that the total running time of the clothes processing device is not increased in the non-delay control.

[0107] After S1031, if the voice control time is less than the set time, the working parameters of the clothes processing device can be adjusted according to the default control mode, wherein the default control mode is the delay control. The purpose of this design is that when the voice control time is small, the influence of the voice interaction process on the clothes processing device can be ignored, and at this time, the working parameters of the clothes processing device are adjusted according to the delay control mode, so that the total running time of the clothes processing device is increased.

[0108] It should be noted that the possible implementation steps of obtaining the control mode corresponding to the clothes processing device can include the following steps 1-2:

[0109] Step 1: Send control mode inquiry information.

[0110] Step 2: Receive the control mode response message fed back by the user, and the control mode response message includes the control mode.

[0111] As can be seen from the control mode response message including the control mode, the control mode response message at least includes the delay control mode response message and the non-delay control mode response message. Correspondingly, the control mode inquiry information includes the delay control mode request information and the non-delay control mode request information.

[0112] In an implementable manner, the clothes processing device or the server can send the delay control mode request information and the non-delay control mode request information to the terminal device, the user selects one of the request information on the terminal device, and then the clothes processing device or the server receives the control mode response message fed back by the terminal device, and determines the control mode selected by the user according to the received control mode response message.

[0113] In another implementable manner, the clothes processing apparatus comprises a voice playing device, the voice playing device issues a first inquiry voice, the first inquiry voice comprises delay control inquiry information, for example, the first inquiry voice can be "whether to delay", then the user issues a control mode response message, the audio collecting device collects the control mode response message, if the control mode response message is yes, it is confirmed that the control mode is delay control. The voice playing device can be a loudspeaker arranged on the shell of the clothes processing apparatus. Since the clothes processing apparatus needs to interact with the user voice in the process of repeatedly performing the matching degree obtaining operation, it is easy to understand that the user is in the surroundings of the clothes processing apparatus. Based on this, the embodiment confirms the control mode to the user in the manner of voice interaction, the user in the surroundings of the clothes processing apparatus does not need to interact with the clothes processing apparatus through the terminal device again, and the operation of the user is simplified.

[0114] After the voice playing device issues the first inquiry voice, if the control mode response message issued by the user is no, the voice playing device can also issue a second inquiry voice, the second inquiry voice comprises non-delay control inquiry information, for example, the second inquiry voice can be "whether not to delay", the audio collecting device collects the control mode response message issued by the user again, if the control mode response message is yes, it is confirmed that the control mode is non-delay control.

[0115] It is worth noting that the above two implementable manners both obtain the will of the user for delay control and non-delay control through interaction with the user, and then adjust the working parameters of the clothes processing apparatus according to this, so that the running time length of the clothes processing apparatus meets the needs of the user.

[0116] For example, when the user wants to wash the clothes as soon as possible in order to change immediately, or when the user wants to go out, the user can select non-delay control, at this time, the total running time length of the clothes processing apparatus will not be prolonged, so that the end time of the operation of the clothes processing apparatus will not be delayed, and the user does not need to wait for a longer time.
