[0033] In this embodiment, a method for determining a flow direction is provided, which is applied to a computer terminal. Figure 2 is a flowchart of the method for determining the flow direction according to the embodiments of the present application. The process includes the following steps:

[0034] Step S202, obtaining information data corresponding to different types of water-using devices included in the target area, where the information data includes: the device operation information and device parameter information of the water-using device within a preset time period;

[0035] It should be noted that the above water-using devices can include, but are not limited to: hot water devices, water purification devices, soft water devices, etc. The embodiments of the present invention do not make limitations in this regard.

[0036] Step S204, determine the transfer situation of water resources in the target area based on the information data; wherein, the transfer situation is used to indicate the order in which the water resources enter different types of water-using devices;

[0037] Step S206, determine the target flow direction of the water resources in the target area according to the transfer situation.

[0038] Through the above steps, information data corresponding to different types of water-using devices included in the target area is obtained. The information data includes: the device operation information and device parameter information of the water-using devices within a preset time period. Based on the information data, determine the transfer situation of water resources in the target area. The transfer situation is used to indicate the order in which water resources enter different types of water-using devices. According to the transfer situation, determine the target flow direction of water resources in the target area. By adopting the above technical solution, problems such as the inability to associate multiple different types of water-using devices and the inability to display the water resource flow direction between water-using devices are solved. The present invention associates different types of water-using devices to form a water resource transfer system, and displays the whole-house water usage status display, whole-house water usage consumables display, device water circuit professional display, and recommended scenario display on the corresponding application page. Furthermore, it can enable the target object to clearly determine the water circuit changes of the water-using devices in the target area, thereby associating the water-using devices in the target area through the water circuit.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, before determining the target flow direction of the target area according to the transfer situation, the above method further includes: when there are multiple sub-areas in the target area and the same water-using devices exist in each sub-area, perform a division operation on the multiple sub-areas, where the division operation is used to determine the same water-using devices existing in the same sub-area as a whole and display them in the target flow direction; after completing the division operation, mark the number and type of water-using devices included in each sub-area.

[0040] Simply put, when there are multiple water-using devices in an area at the same time, all the water-using devices in the area are regarded as a whole, and then the target flow direction of the target area is determined.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, the above method further includes: determining the detection data of each water-using device on the water resources from the device operation information; determining the state value of the current water resources based on the detection data; associating the state value with the target flow direction to monitor the state change of the water resources in the target flow direction.

[0042] That is, it is also possible to detect the water resources of the water-using device, determine the resource quality of the water resources corresponding to the current water-using device, so that while the target object views the target flow direction, it can also timely understand the resource changes of the water resources. When the water resource quality is poor, a reminder is sent to the target object, and the consumables of the water-using device are replaced and cleaned.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the above method further includes: determining consumable data corresponding to different types of water-using devices based on the device parameter information; binding the consumable data to the target flow direction; when the operation cycle of the target flow direction is greater than a preset consumable replacement cycle, initiating a consumable order in a shopping platform through the consumable data, and prompting the target object to confirm the purchase.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, after binding the consumable data to the target flow direction, the above method further includes: determining the remaining percentage of the built-in consumables of the water-using device through the device operation information; when the remaining percentage is less than or equal to the preset minimum percentage of the water-using device, controlling the water-using device to stop operating, and stopping the display of the flow direction in the target flow direction; when the remaining percentage is greater than the preset minimum percentage of the water-using device, estimating the consumable replacement time of the water-using device.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, before obtaining the information data corresponding to different types of water-using devices included in the target area, the above method further includes: determining the concerns of the target object existing in the target area; selecting a plurality of target water-using devices to be obtained with information data from a plurality of water-using devices bound to the mobile terminal corresponding to the target object based on the concerns.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the above step S206 can be implemented in various ways. In an alternative embodiment, it can be implemented in the following way: determining the total duration of each water-using device passing through the water resources and the first flow direction of the water resources between adjacent water-using devices based on the transfer situation; when a plurality of first flow directions are determined, combining the plurality of first flow directions according to the total duration and the water-using device to obtain the target flow direction of the water resources in the target area.

[0047] To better understand the process of the above method for determining the flow direction, the following further describes the implementation method flow of the above determination of the flow direction in combination with alternative embodiments, but it is not used to limit the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.

[0048] In this embodiment, a method for determining a flow direction is provided. Figure 3It is a schematic diagram of the UI interface for the method of determining the flow direction according to an alternative embodiment of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, this interface includes four parts: the whole-house water usage status, the consumable status, the water-using equipment status, and the scene status.

[0049] Optionally, the equipment types of the water-using equipment in the whole-house water system can be divided into:

[0050] A. Hot water equipment (application classifications: electric heating, gas heating, heating furnace, heat pump), such as: electric water heater, gas water heater, heating furnace, heat pump;

[0051] B. Water purification equipment (application classification: water purifier), such as: under-sink water purifier, pre-filter, pipeline machine, water dispenser, central water purifier;

[0052] C. Soft water equipment (application classification: soft water machine), such as: soft water machine;

[0053] Optionally, the whole-house water usage status can also be visually displayed through the above UI interface. For example, the displayed status range includes water quality, water temperature, hardness, water pressure, water consumption, operation mode, and regional water quality. Among them, the status value of water quality is excellent, good, poor, and the corresponding relationship between the equipment TDS and the water quality status is that the value range is 0 - 500 mg / L; the color display rule: when tds > 300 mg / L, it shows red and poor, when 100 ≤ tds ≤ 300, it shows yellow and good, when tds < 100, it shows green and excellent. The water temperature is based on the actual data of the equipment. The status value of hardness is soft, comfortable, general, and is based on the actual data of the equipment. The color display rule for the water hardness of the equipment is that it shows red for general, yellow for comfortable, and green for soft. The status value of water pressure is normal water pressure, high water pressure, low water pressure, and is based on the actual data of the equipment. The corresponding relationship between the equipment water pressure value and the status, and the color display rule is that when the water pressure > 0.35 MPa, it shows red and high water pressure, when 0.14 ≤ water pressure ≥ 0.35, it shows green and normal water pressure, when the water pressure < 0.14, it shows red and low water pressure. The water consumption status value is XX + unit, where XX is based on the actual data of the equipment, and the units are under-sink water purifier (L), tabletop water dispenser (L), soft water machine (m 3 )), central water purifier (m 3 ), pre-filter (m 3 ), pipeline machine (L). The displayed water volume data includes one decimal place. If the integer exceeds 3 digits, the decimal part is not displayed. The operation mode is based on the actual data of the equipment. The regional water quality refreshes the inlet TDS and outlet TDS according to the new regional location.

[0054] It should be noted that the above color display rules of the UI interface can be flexibly determined according to actual needs and are not limited to the above colors.

[0055] Optionally, in the consumable status, the correspondence between the device and the consumable is as follows: for the electric water heater: the health of the magnesium rod and the cleanliness of the inner tank; for the under-sink water purifier: the primary filter element, the adsorption filter element, the coarse filter element, the fine filter element, the RO filter element, the taste filter element, the nanofiltration filter element, the RO filter element 2, the mineralization filter element; for the water softener: the softening salt (only two states of whether it lacks salt, no percentage); for the central water purifier: the filter element; for the tabletop water dispenser: the primary filter element, the adsorption filter element, the coarse filter element, the fine filter element, the RO filter element, the taste filter element, the nanofiltration filter element, the RO filter element 2, the mineralization filter element; the consumable list on the above UI interface shows: device name + consumable name + remaining percentage.

[0056] Optionally, the water-using device status shows that the devices are electric water heaters, gas water heaters, heating furnaces or heat pumps, under-sink water purifiers, pre-filters, pipeline machines, water softeners, central water purifiers, and tabletop water dispensers. The general status of each device is displayed as unbound (no device), offline, alarm, and online.

[0057] Optionally, the water circuit display rules are as follows: 1) Water circuit without a device: When there is no device, the inlet and outlet water circuits connected to the device (can be gray); 2) Water circuit with a device: When there is a device, the inlet connected to the device is grayed out, and the outlet water circuit is displayed in colors according to cold water (can be blue) and hot water (can be red).

[0058] Optionally, the scenario status is divided into four template scenarios: water quality self-cleaning, device self-cleaning, sun bath, and holiday mode.

[0059] Optionally, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the class diagram and data flow according to an optional embodiment of the present invention. Various operations are encapsulated into a data source class to provide data for the interface. The data source class is divided into a device data source, a consumable data source, and a scenario data source. Each data source provides corresponding data for the interface to display.

[0060] It should be noted that the display interface obtains the display data through the data source class. The data source class obtains the corresponding data from the device data source, the consumable data source, the scenario data source, and the local data source respectively. Each data source encapsulates a data interface. The data source class exposes the interface and provides it to the interface.

[0061] Through the above embodiments, the home appliance app combines three types of devices, namely hot water devices (electric water heaters, gas water heaters, heating furnaces, heat pumps) and water purification devices (under-sink water purifiers, pre-filters, pipeline machines, water dispensers, central water purifiers) and water softening devices (water softeners), into a professional whole-house water use system. A complete set of water use system solutions is designed into the app and provided to consumers, filling the gap that there is no professional water use system in the home appliance app and providing a professional whole-house water use system for users.

[0062] Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiments can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform. Of course, it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation. Based on such an understanding, the technical solution of the present application, in essence, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disc), and includes several instructions for causing a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods of the various embodiments of the present application.
