Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent control technology, and in particular to a method and device for interconnecting and controlling an intelligent window and a clothes rack. Background Technology
[0002] As society develops and people's living standards continue to improve, their demands for quality of life are also increasing. People are paying more and more attention to the comfort of their living environment, and their needs for home appliances and equipment in daily life or work are no longer limited to traditional functions. They hope that these appliances can be adjusted in various ways to meet the real-time needs of users.
[0003] However, most current home appliances and furniture devices cannot fully embody the concept of interconnectivity with other devices due to limitations in their functions and structures. For example, current windows and clothes racks cannot be effectively interconnected or intelligently adjusted according to each other's actual conditions, resulting in a poor user experience. Especially when a lot of freshly washed clothes are hung on the clothes rack, the humidity in the surrounding environment rises significantly, making it difficult for clothes to dry and also easily breeding bacteria and fungi, which can affect the user's health. Summary of the Invention
[0004] One objective of this invention is to achieve intelligent interconnection between smart windows and clothes racks, thereby effectively improving the level of intelligence.
[0005] A further objective of this invention is to adjust the opening area ratio of the smart window according to the indoor humidity level, in conjunction with the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner to reduce the humidity of the indoor environment.
[0006] Specifically, the present invention provides an interconnection control method for a smart window and a clothes rack, wherein the smart window and the clothes rack are in the same indoor environment, and the method includes: detecting the gravity value on the clothes rack; detecting the indoor humidity value of the indoor environment when the gravity value increases; determining whether the indoor humidity value has increased; if so, determining that new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack; and controlling the smart window to open.
[0007] Optionally, after determining the addition of wet clothes to the clothes rack, the process may also include: determining the opening area ratio of the smart window based on the indoor humidity level.
[0008] Optionally, the step of determining the opening area ratio of the smart window based on the indoor humidity value includes: querying a preset information table to match the opening area ratio corresponding to the indoor humidity value, wherein the preset information table stores the opening area ratio corresponding to different indoor humidity values in advance, and the indoor humidity value is proportional to the opening area ratio.
[0009] Optionally, the steps for controlling the opening of the smart window include: controlling the smart window to open according to a determined opening area ratio.
[0010] Optionally, a gravity sensor is installed on the clothes rack, and the step of detecting the gravity value on the clothes rack includes: using the gravity sensor to detect the gravity value.
[0011] Optionally, if the gravity value remains constant or decreases, it can be determined that no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack.
[0012] Optionally, after determining that no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack, the process may also include: controlling the smart window to remain in its current open or closed state.
[0013] Optionally, an air conditioner is also installed in the indoor environment, and after the step of controlling the opening of the smart window, the step also includes: controlling the air conditioner to turn on the dehumidification mode.
[0014] Optionally, after the step of controlling the smart window to remain in its current open / closed state, the method may further include: controlling the air conditioner to remain in its current operating state.
[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, an interconnection control device for a smart window and a clothes rack is also provided, comprising: a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a control program, and when the control program is executed by the processor, it is used to implement the interconnection control method for the smart window and clothes rack described above.
[0016] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for interconnecting and controlling a smart window and a clothes rack. By detecting the gravity value on the clothes rack, and when the gravity value increases, the method detects the indoor humidity value of the indoor environment to determine whether the indoor humidity value has increased. If the result is yes, the method determines that new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack and controls the smart window to open. This enables the smart window and the clothes rack to interconnect, providing a scenario for smart home appliances and home interconnection, and effectively improving the level of intelligence.
[0017] Furthermore, the interconnection control method and device for the smart window and clothes rack of the present invention, after determining that new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack, queries a preset information table to match the opening area ratio corresponding to the indoor humidity value, controls the smart window to open according to the determined opening area ratio, and controls the air conditioner to turn on the dehumidification mode; when no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack, controls the smart window to maintain its current open / closed state, and controls the air conditioner to maintain its current operating state, further realizing the intelligent interconnection between the air conditioner, the smart window, and the clothes rack. It can adjust the opening area ratio of the smart window according to the indoor humidity value, and reduce the indoor humidity in conjunction with the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, protect the user's health, and effectively improve the user experience.
[0018] The above and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
[0019] The following sections will describe some specific embodiments of the invention in a detailed manner by way of example and not limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts or portions. Those skilled in the art should understand that these drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0023] Figure 4 This is a schematic architecture diagram of an interconnection control device for a smart window and a clothes rack according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0024] This embodiment first provides a method for interconnecting and controlling a smart window and a clothes rack, which can realize the intelligent interconnection between the smart window and the clothes rack, providing a scenario for the interconnection of smart home appliances and effectively improving the level of intelligence. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an interconnection control method between a smart window and a clothes rack according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the interconnection and control method between the smart window and the clothes rack may include the following steps:
[0025] Step S102: Detect the weight value on the clothes rack;
[0026] Step S104: Determine if the gravity value increases. If so, proceed to step S106.
[0027] Step S106: Detect the indoor humidity value of the indoor environment;
[0028] Step S108: Determine if the indoor humidity value has increased. If so, proceed to step S110.
[0029] Step S110: Determine if new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack;
[0030] Step S112: Control the smart window to open.
[0031] It should be noted that the methods in this embodiment and the following embodiments are all described from the perspective of the interconnection control device between the smart window and the clothes rack, that is, the relevant steps are performed by the control device. Furthermore, the premise for implementing this embodiment and the following embodiments is that the smart window and the clothes rack are interconnected. Specifically, an interconnection control device between the smart window and the clothes rack can be installed between the smart window and the clothes rack. This control device can receive signals sent by the smart window and the clothes rack, and can also send signals to the smart window and the clothes rack.
[0032] In one specific embodiment, both the smart window and the clothes rack can be equipped with their own controllers to receive signals from and send signals to the control device. More specifically, the control device can be located externally to the smart window and the clothes rack, i.e., separately installed, or it can be installed on one of the two. When the control device is installed on the smart window, the control device and the smart window's own controller can be the same component or different components. When the control device is installed on the clothes rack, the control device and the clothes rack's own controller can be the same component or different components. In this embodiment, the smart window and the clothes rack can be located in the same indoor environment.
[0033] In the above steps, step S102 detects the gravity value on the clothes rack. Specifically, a gravity sensor can be installed on the clothes rack. Furthermore, the step of detecting the gravity value on the clothes rack may include: using a gravity sensor to detect the gravity value. The clothes rack's controller can send the gravity data to a control device. In a preferred embodiment, multiple gravity sensors can be installed at equal intervals on the clothes rack to obtain more accurate gravity data.
[0034] Step S104 determines whether the gravity value has increased. If the result is yes, meaning the gravity value has increased, it indicates that new clothes have been added to the clothes rack. However, the new clothes could be dry bedding or clothes, or they could be freshly washed and still damp. Therefore, steps S106 and S108 need to be executed further to detect the indoor humidity value and determine whether the indoor humidity value has increased. If the result is yes, meaning the indoor humidity value has increased, steps S110 and S112 are executed to confirm that new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack and to control the smart window to open.
[0035] Adding wet clothes to the clothes rack will obviously increase the indoor humidity level. Therefore, when adding clothes to the rack, we can determine if the new clothes are wet by checking if the indoor humidity level increases. If the indoor humidity increases, it means the new clothes are wet. In this case, opening the smart window allows for ventilation, promotes air circulation, and allows sunlight to enter the room more easily, thus accelerating the drying process and improving the drying effect. Furthermore, controlling the smart window opening effectively prevents a significant increase in indoor humidity, thus avoiding excessive humidity that could negatively impact user comfort.
[0036] If step S104 determines whether the gravity value has increased, and the result is negative (i.e., the gravity value has not increased), then it can be determined that no new clothes have been added to the clothes rack. This means that neither dry nor wet clothes have been added; importantly, it can be determined that no wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack. Furthermore, since step S108 is performed only if step S104 results in a positive result (i.e., the gravity value on the clothes rack has increased, and new clothes have been added), if step S108 determines whether the indoor humidity value has increased, and the result is negative (i.e., the indoor humidity value has not increased), then it can be determined that the newly added clothes to the clothes rack are dry clothes, not wet clothes.
[0037] In summary, if the results of steps S104 and S108 are negative, it can be determined that no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack. Furthermore, if no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack, the smart window can be kept in its current open / closed state without requiring any adjustments. It should be noted that the absence of an increase in gravity value could be due to two possibilities: the gravity value remains unchanged or decreases. Similarly, the absence of an increase in indoor humidity value could also be due to two possibilities: the indoor humidity value remains unchanged or decreases.
[0038] In summary, the interconnection control method between the smart window and the clothes rack in this embodiment detects the gravity value on the clothes rack. When the gravity value increases, it detects the indoor humidity value of the indoor environment to determine whether the indoor humidity value has increased. If the result is yes, it determines that new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack and controls the smart window to open. This enables the smart window and the clothes rack to interconnect, providing a scenario for smart home appliances and home interconnection, and effectively improving the level of intelligence.
[0039] In some alternative embodiments, the interconnected air conditioner, smart window and clothes rack can achieve higher technical effects by further optimizing and configuring the above steps. The following describes in detail the interconnection control method of smart window and clothes rack in this embodiment with the introduction of an alternative execution flow. This embodiment is only an example of the execution flow. In specific implementation, the execution order and running conditions of some steps can be modified according to specific implementation needs. Figure 2 This is a detailed flowchart of a method for interconnecting and controlling a smart window and a clothes rack according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes the following steps:
[0040] Step S202: Use the gravity sensor on the clothes rack to detect the gravity value;
[0041] Step S204: Determine whether the gravity value has increased. If yes, proceed to step S206; otherwise, proceed to step S218.
[0042] Step S206: Detect the indoor humidity level of the indoor environment;
[0043] Step S208: Determine whether the indoor humidity value has increased. If yes, proceed to step S210; otherwise, proceed to step S218.
[0044] Step S210: Determine if new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack;
[0045] Step S212: Query the preset information table to match the opening area ratio corresponding to the indoor humidity value;
[0046] Step S214: Control the smart window to open according to the determined opening area ratio;
[0047] Step S216: Control the air conditioner to turn on the dehumidification mode;
[0048] Step S218: Confirm that no new clothes are added to the clothes rack for drying;
[0049] Step S220: Control the smart window to maintain its current open / closed state;
[0050] Step S222: Control the air conditioner to maintain its current operating state.
[0051] In this embodiment, the smart window and clothes rack are located in the same indoor environment, and an air conditioner is also installed in the indoor environment. As mentioned earlier, an interconnection control device can be installed between the smart window and the clothes rack to achieve intelligent interconnection between them. In this embodiment, the air conditioner can also send signals to and receive signals from the control device, thereby achieving intelligent interconnection with the smart window and clothes rack. When an air conditioner is installed in the indoor environment, the control device can also be installed on the air conditioner, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the smart window through the control device installed on the air conditioner. When the control device is installed on the air conditioner, the control device and the air conditioner's own controller can be the same component or different components.
[0052] In the above steps, step S202 uses the gravity sensor on the clothes rack to detect the gravity value, and then executes step S204 to determine whether the gravity value has increased. If the result is yes, that is, the gravity value has increased, it can be determined that new clothes have been added to the clothes rack. To further determine whether the new clothes are dry bedding, clothes, or freshly washed and damp clothes, steps S206 and S208 can be executed to detect the indoor humidity value and determine whether the indoor humidity value has increased. If the result is yes, that is, the indoor humidity value has increased, step S210 is executed to determine that new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack.
[0053] If the judgment result in step S204 is negative, meaning the gravity value has not increased (i.e., the gravity value remains unchanged or decreases), then step S218 can be executed to determine that no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack. This is because the gravity value has not increased, which confirms that no new clothes have been added to the clothes rack, whether dry or wet. Crucially, it confirms that no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack.
[0054] Furthermore, since step S208 is performed only if the result of step S204 is positive, meaning the weight on the clothes rack increases and more clothes are added to the drying rack, if the result of step S208 (determining whether the indoor humidity value has increased) is negative (meaning the indoor humidity value has not increased), it can be determined that the newly added clothes on the clothes rack are dry clothes, not wet clothes. In short, if the results of both steps S204 and S208 are negative, it can be determined that no wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack.
[0055] If it is determined that new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack, steps S212 and S214 can be executed to query a preset information table to match the opening area ratio corresponding to the indoor humidity value, and then control the smart window to open according to the determined opening area ratio. As mentioned earlier, when new wet clothes are added to the clothes rack, controlling the smart window to open can ventilate the indoor environment, promote air circulation, and make it easier for sunlight to enter the room, thereby accelerating the drying of wet clothes and improving the drying effect. Furthermore, controlling the opening of the smart window can effectively prevent the indoor humidity from rising too much, thus preventing excessive humidity from affecting the user's comfort experience.
[0056] It should be noted that the preset information table in step S212 stores the opening area ratio corresponding to different indoor humidity values, and the indoor humidity value is directly proportional to the opening area ratio. That is, the higher the indoor humidity value, the larger the opening area ratio, and the larger the opening area. This is because a higher indoor humidity value indicates more wet clothes on the clothes rack, requiring a larger opening area of the smart window to speed up the drying of wet clothes and prevent excessively high indoor humidity.
[0057] Furthermore, the opening area ratio of a smart window can be the ratio of its actual opening area to its area when fully open. This method of limiting the opening of a smart window by its opening area ratio is applicable to smart windows with various opening methods, such as sliding smart windows, casement smart windows, or top-hung, center-hung, and bottom-hung smart windows.
[0058] In one specific embodiment, if the smart window is a sliding type, and the indoor humidity value is A, then the opening area ratio of the smart window can be M%. If the indoor humidity value is B, then the opening area ratio of the smart window can be N%. Where A is greater than B, and M is greater than N. If the smart window is a casement type or a top-hung, center-hung, or bottom-hung type with rotating opening, the opening area ratio can be converted into a rotation angle ratio. For example, if the indoor humidity value is C, then the opening angle of the smart window can be P°. If the indoor humidity value is D, then the opening angle of the smart window can be Q°. Where C is greater than D, and P is greater than Q.
[0059] In one specific embodiment, the indoor environment may have one smart window. Controlling the smart window to open according to a determined opening area ratio can be applied to only this one smart window. In another specific embodiment, the indoor environment may have multiple smart windows. Controlling the smart windows to open according to a determined opening area ratio can be applied to all smart windows.
[0060] like Figure 2As shown, after controlling the smart window to open according to the determined opening area ratio in step S214, step S216 can be executed to control the air conditioner to turn on the dehumidification mode. As mentioned earlier, when wet clothes are added to the clothes rack, controlling the smart window to open can effectively prevent the indoor humidity from rising, thereby preventing excessive humidity from affecting the user's comfort experience. In this embodiment, controlling the air conditioner to turn on the dehumidification mode can better dehumidify the indoor environment, further ensuring that the indoor humidity is not too high.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, after controlling the air conditioner to activate the dehumidification mode, the air conditioner can further be controlled to activate the sterilization function and maintain it for a preset duration. This is because damp clothes easily breed bacteria and fungi, affecting the user's health. Furthermore, bacteria and fungi may spread into the indoor air; activating the sterilization function of the air conditioner can effectively eliminate bacteria and fungi in the air and on clothing. In a preferred embodiment, the air conditioner can achieve the sterilization function through ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Specifically, as indoor air flows through the evaporator, the air conditioner can use UV light to destroy the RNA of bacteria and fungi in the air, thereby killing them, and then deliver clean, sterile air through the air outlet. Alternatively, the air conditioner can direct UV light towards the clothes rack to directly sterilize the clothes on the rack.
[0062] Air conditioners achieve their sterilization function through ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, a more scientific and efficient method. UV sterilization allows for precise wavelength control and ample UV irradiation, ensuring stable control while using UV light to disinfect air and clothing. This chemical-free, purely physical sterilization technology not only avoids secondary pollution but also effectively cleans the air conditioner's own components, achieving a very high sterilization rate.
[0063] However, it's important to note that without protective measures, ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be harmful to the human body. The extent of UV damage depends primarily on the intensity and duration of exposure. Prolonged exposure can cause skin redness, peeling, and pain. Eye damage may include photokeratitis, resulting in eye pain, photophobia, and tearing. Therefore, after activating the sterilization function on an air conditioner, it's also beneficial to display a notification that sterilization is in progress, reminding the user to avoid UV exposure. This effectively alerts the user and ensures their safety.
[0064] The system controls the air conditioner to activate its sterilization function and maintain it for a preset time. After the preset time is reached, the air conditioner can be controlled to deactivate the sterilization function and output a second message indicating that sterilization is complete, reminding the user to move around freely. Activating the sterilization function for the preset time effectively eliminates bacteria and fungi in the air. The timely output of the second message after sterilization completion facilitates user movement in the indoor environment. In one specific embodiment, the preset time can be 45 minutes. That is, the air conditioner can be controlled to activate the sterilization function for 45 minutes, and after 45 minutes, the air conditioner can be controlled to deactivate the sterilization function. It should be noted that the specific value of the preset time is merely an example and not a limitation of the invention. In other embodiments, other values can be set according to actual conditions.
[0065] The first and second information can be output via a display device or voice device on the air conditioner's casing, or via a mobile terminal linked to the air conditioner. The display device can output video, audio, or text information; the voice device can output audio information. The mobile terminal can output video, audio, or text information via an app. Specifically, the mobile terminal can be a portable smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet.
[0066] After determining in step S218 that no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack, steps S220 and S222 can be executed to keep the smart window in its current open / closed state and the air conditioner in its current operating state. In other words, if no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack, there is no need to adjust the smart window and the air conditioner; therefore, it is sufficient to keep the smart window and the air conditioner in their current open and operating states.
[0067] In summary, the interconnection control method between the smart window and the clothes rack in this embodiment, after determining that new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack, queries a preset information table to match the opening area corresponding to the indoor humidity value, controls the smart window to open according to the determined opening area, and controls the air conditioner to start the dehumidification mode; when no new wet clothes have been added to the clothes rack, controls the smart window to maintain its current open / closed state, and controls the air conditioner to maintain its current operating state, further realizing the intelligent interconnection between the air conditioner, the smart window, and the clothes rack. It can adjust the opening area of the smart window according to the indoor humidity value, and reduce the indoor humidity in conjunction with the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner, protect the user's health, and effectively improve the user experience.
[0068] This embodiment also provides an interconnection control device for smart windows and clothes racks. Figure 3 This is a schematic block diagram of an intelligent window and clothes rack interconnection control device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0069] As mentioned above, the interconnection control method between the smart window and the clothes rack in any of the above embodiments is described from the perspective of the control device 300, that is, the control device 300 performs the relevant steps. In a specific embodiment, the control device 300 is data-connected to the smart window 400 and the clothes rack 200. It can be equipped with network-side devices such as servers and cloud devices to obtain various data of the set space through the network and realize relevant adjustments by remotely sending commands to the smart window 400 and the clothes rack 200.
[0070] The control device 300 can also be various types of centralized control equipment, arranged in a designated space, and used to control the smart window 400 and the clothes rack 200.

In some embodiments, the control device 300 can also be part of the smart window 400 or clothes rack 200, installed within the smart window 400 or clothes rack 200, and connected to the controller of the smart window 400 or clothes rack 200 itself. For example, the smart window 400 or clothes rack 200 may have a dedicated control device 300 installed inside, working in conjunction with a controller specifically designed for controlling components.
[0071] The processor 310 can be a central processing unit (CPU), a digital processing unit, or something similar. The processor 310 sends and receives data via a communication interface. The memory 320 is used to store the program executed by the processor 310. The memory 320 can be any medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures, and accessible by a computer; it can also be a combination of multiple memories 320. The control program 321 described above can be downloaded from a computer-readable storage medium to the corresponding computing / processing device or downloaded and installed to the control device 300 via a network (e.g., the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network, and / or a wireless network).

Specifically, the air conditioner 100 can be installed in the living room, the clothes rack 200 can be installed on the top of a balcony connected to the living room, and the smart window 400 can be installed on the side of the balcony. By having the air conditioner 100, clothes rack 200, and smart window 400 located in the same indoor environment, the air conditioner 100 and smart window 400 can improve the drying effect of wet clothes on the clothes rack 200, reduce indoor humidity, and enhance the user experience.
[0073] By setting up an interconnection control device 300 between the smart window and the clothes rack, the air conditioner 100, the clothes rack 200, and the smart window 400 can all send signals to and receive signals from the control device 300, thus achieving intelligent interconnection between the air conditioner 100, the smart window 400, and the clothes rack 200. When an air conditioner 100 is installed in the indoor environment, the control device 300 can also be installed on the air conditioner 100, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the smart window 400 through the control device 300 installed on the air conditioner 100. When the control device 300 is installed on the air conditioner 100, the control device 300 and the air conditioner 100's own controller can be the same component or different components.
