[0013] If, within the second countdown, the operation command generated when the touchscreen is triggered is the fourth preset command, then the clothing processing device is controlled to enter the unlocked state; otherwise, the child lock state of the clothing processing device is maintained. The fourth preset command is the operation command prompted by the second prompt message, and the fourth preset command is different from the second preset command.

[0014] In one embodiment, the buttons include physical buttons and virtual buttons on a touchscreen on the garment handling device;

[0019] If, within the third countdown, the operation command generated when the virtual button is triggered is the fifth preset command, then the clothing processing device will be controlled to enter the unlocked state; otherwise, the child lock state of the clothing processing device will be maintained. The fifth preset command is the operation command prompted by the third prompt message, and the fifth preset command is different from the second preset command.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0043] To address the issues of energy waste caused by children activating clothing processing equipment when it's not needed, improper clothing processing due to children turning it off while it's in operation, and the complex operation of child locks in traditional clothing processing equipment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, a child lock control method is provided, which is applied to a garment handling device. The garment handling device includes at least a garment handling component (not shown in the figures), a processor (not shown in the figures), a button 61, and a touchscreen 63. The processor is connected to the garment handling component, the button 61, and the touchscreen 63. The child lock control method of this application will be described using an example of the processor executing the method.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the child lock control method includes the following steps:

[0045] Step S110: Obtain the operation command generated when any button 61 on the garment handling device is triggered. The button 61 can be a mechanical button 61 or a sensor button 61. In one example, all buttons 61 on the garment handling device can be configured to activate and deactivate the child lock; the user only needs to perform the corresponding operation on one of the buttons 61 to activate or deactivate the child lock. However, to reduce costs and processor computation, in one example, a specific button 61 on the garment handling device can be selected as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock; the user needs to perform the corresponding operation on this specific button 61 to activate or deactivate the child lock.

[0046] When a user presses or touches button 61, a corresponding electrical signal is generated and sent to the processor. The processor can then obtain the operation command generated when button 61 is triggered via this signal. In one example, the processor obtains the operation command generated when any button 61 on the clothing processing device is triggered in real time. In another example, the step of obtaining the operation command generated when any button 61 on the clothing processing device is triggered involves: when abnormal triggering of button 61 on the clothing processing device is detected, the processor obtains the operation command generated when any button 61 on the clothing processing device is triggered. It should be noted that abnormal triggering of button 61 can refer to situations such as a child pressing multiple buttons 61 simultaneously, a child pressing button 61 repeatedly and rapidly, or a child pressing button 61 for an extended period of time. Of course, abnormal button triggering may not be caused by a child; it could be caused by a pet or an object pressing on the clothing processing device. When abnormal button triggering occurs, the clothing processing device can emit a warning sound to remind the user to activate the child lock. By only obtaining the operation command generated when any button on the clothing processing device is triggered in abnormal situations, the processor's computational load can be reduced. Of course, it should be noted that the operation instructions obtained in this example refer to operation instructions other than those normally used by each button 61 to set the processing parameters of the clothing. In other words, they are operation instructions for activating and deactivating the child lock that are pre-stored in the processor.

[0047] In step S120, when the garment handling device is in the unlocked state, if the operation command is determined to be the first preset command, the garment handling device is controlled to enter the child lock state. The processor monitors the current state of the garment handling device. When the current state is unlocked and the acquired operation command is determined to be the first preset command, the garment handling device can be controlled to enter the child lock state. It should be noted that the unlocked state means that the button 61 and the touch screen 63 on the garment handling device are unlocked, and the user can operate the button 61 and the touch screen 63 to achieve the desired function. In one example, the first preset command may be that the button 61 is pressed for a preset time (e.g., 3 seconds), the button 61 is pressed continuously a preset number of times (e.g., 3 times) within a preset time (e.g., 2 seconds), a single click or a long press, etc.

[0048] For example, after a user finishes using the garment processing device, to ensure its safety and prevent children from accidentally pressing buttons, in one example, if button 61 on the garment processing device is not triggered within a second preset time period, the device will enter a child lock state. It should be noted that the second preset time period can be set according to actual needs. In one example, the second preset time period is 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 20 minutes. This specific time period is only an example of the second preset time period and does not constitute a limitation on setting other durations for the second preset time period.

[0049] In step S130, when the garment processing device is in child lock mode, if the operation command is determined to be the second preset command, the garment processing device is controlled to enter the unlocked state. The processor monitors the current state of the garment processing device. When the current state is child lock mode and the acquired operation command is determined to be the second preset command, the garment processing device can be controlled to enter the unlocked state. It should be noted that the child lock mode means that the button 61 and touch screen 63 on the garment processing device are locked, and the user cannot operate the button 61 and touch screen 63 to achieve the desired function. In one example, the second preset command may be pressing the button 61 for a preset time (e.g., 3 seconds), pressing the button 61 continuously a preset number of times (e.g., 3 times) within a preset time (e.g., 2 seconds), or clicking, etc. It should be noted that the first preset command may be the same as or different from the second preset command.

[0050] To further enhance the security of the garment handling device, in one example, when the device is in child lock mode, if the operation command is determined to be a second preset command, the step of controlling the garment handling device to enter the unlocked state is as follows: When the garment handling device is in child lock mode, if the operation command is determined to be a second preset command, and no operation command is received after a third preset time period, the garment handling device is controlled to enter the unlocked state. It should be noted that the second preset command received by the garment handling device for the first time could be a correct operation by the user, or it could be triggered accidentally by a child or pet pressing the wrong button. To avoid accidental triggering by a child or pet, when the second preset command is received, the processor starts a counter to count whether an operation command (different from the second preset command) is received within the third preset time period. If an incorrect operation command is received, it means that the second preset command received by the garment handling device for the first time was triggered accidentally by a child or pet pressing the wrong button, and the garment handling device remains in child lock mode. If no incorrect operation command is received, it means that the second preset command received by the garment handling device for the first time was a correct operation by the user, and the garment handling device is controlled to enter the unlocked state. In one example, the second preset instruction could be 15 seconds, 20 seconds, or 30 seconds.

[0051] Button 61 includes physical buttons 61 and virtual buttons 61 on the touchscreen 63 of the garment handling device (e.g., ...). Figure 8(As shown in 633). The physical button 61 can be set as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock, or the virtual button 61 can be set as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock. In one example, in the step of controlling the clothing handling device to enter the unlocked state when the clothing handling device is in the child lock state, if it is determined that the operation command obtained when the virtual button 61 is triggered is the second preset command, then the clothing handling device is controlled to enter the unlocked state. This example sets the virtual button 61 as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock.

[0052] When the garment processing equipment is in child lock mode, the following methods are provided to unlock the child lock and allow the garment processing equipment to enter the unlocked state:

[0053] The first method: such as Figure 2 As shown, when the garment handling device is in child lock mode, if the operation command is determined to be a second preset command, the steps to control the garment handling device to enter unlock mode include:

[0054] In step S210, when the clothing handling device is in child lock mode, if the operation command is determined to be a second preset command, the touchscreen 63 of the clothing handling device is controlled to display a first countdown duration and a first prompt message. It should be noted that in this method, the physical button 61 on the clothing handling device is set as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock, receiving the second preset command. In this example, the clothing handling device includes a touchscreen 63. The touchscreen 63 is equipped with virtual buttons 61, and the user can control the clothing handling device to perform corresponding actions by operating the virtual buttons 61. In one example, the touchscreen 63 can be a resistive touchscreen 63, a capacitive touchscreen 63, an infrared touchscreen 63, or a surface acoustic wave touchscreen 63. When the processor determines that the acquired operation command is a second preset command, it controls the touchscreen 63 to display a first countdown duration and a first prompt message (such as...). Figure 7 and Figure 8 (631 in the original text). The first countdown timer is used to prompt the user to perform the next operation within a specified time. The first countdown timer is determined according to actual needs; in one example, it is 15 seconds, 20 seconds, or 30 seconds. This specific duration is merely an example of the first countdown timer's function and does not constitute a limitation on setting other durations for the first countdown timer. The first prompt message is used to prompt the user to perform the next operation, that is, to prompt the operation corresponding to the third preset instruction.

[0055] Step S220: If, within the first countdown, an operation command generated when any button 61 on the clothing processing device is triggered is a third preset command, then the clothing processing device is controlled to enter the unlocked state; otherwise, the child lock state of the clothing processing device is maintained. It should be noted that this method sets the physical button 61 on the clothing processing device as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock, receiving the third preset command. The third preset command is the operation command prompted by the first prompt message. In one example, the third preset command could be that the button 61 is pressed for a preset duration (e.g., 3 seconds), pressed a preset number of times (e.g., 3 times) within a preset duration (e.g., 2 seconds), a single click, or a long press, etc. If no third preset command is received within the first countdown, unlocking is not performed, and the child lock state of the clothing processing device is maintained. In one example, if the cumulative number of erroneous operation commands received reaches a preset number, then the function of button 61 is disabled for a first preset duration. To prevent accidental unlocking due to user error or children repeatedly pressing button 61, a preset number of incorrect presses indicates that a child or pet is likely operating the device. In this case, the child lock on the garment processing device is maintained, and button 61 is locked for a first preset time (meaning that button 61 cannot send any commands to the processor during this time, effectively disabling button 61's function) to reduce the processor's workload. It should be noted that the incorrect command is different from the third preset command.

[0056] It should be noted that the third preset instruction is different from the second preset instruction, in order to increase the difficulty for children to unlock the device at will, thereby reducing the probability of children unlocking the device at will.

[0057] The second method: such as Figure 3 As shown, when the garment handling device is in child lock mode, if the operation command is determined to be a second preset command, the steps to control the garment handling device to enter unlock mode include:

[0058] In step S310, when the garment processing device is in child lock mode, if the operation command is determined to be a second preset command, the touchscreen 63 of the garment processing device is controlled to display a second countdown duration and a second prompt message. It should be noted that in this method, the physical button 61 on the garment processing device is set as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock, receiving the second preset command. In this example, the garment processing device includes a touchscreen 63. The touchscreen 63 is equipped with virtual buttons 61, which the user can use to control the garment processing device to perform corresponding actions. In one example, the touchscreen 63 can be a resistive touchscreen 63, a capacitive touchscreen 63, an infrared touchscreen 63, or a surface acoustic wave touchscreen 63. When the processor determines that the received operation command is the second preset command, it controls the touchscreen 63 to display a second countdown duration and a second prompt message. The second countdown duration is used to prompt the user to perform the next operation within a specified time. The second countdown duration depends on actual needs. In one example, the second countdown duration is 15 seconds, 20 seconds, or 30 seconds. This specific duration is only an example of the second countdown duration and does not constitute a limitation on setting other durations for the second countdown duration. The second prompt message is used to prompt the user to perform the next operation, that is, to prompt the operation corresponding to the third preset instruction.

[0059] In step S320, if the operation command generated by the touchscreen 63 when it is triggered within the second countdown period is the fourth preset command, then the clothing handling device is controlled to enter the unlocked state; otherwise, the child lock state of the clothing handling device is maintained. It should be noted that this method sets the virtual button 61 on the clothing handling device as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock, receiving the fourth preset command. The fourth preset command is the operation command prompted by the second prompt information. In one example, the fourth preset command could be that the button 61 is pressed for a preset duration (e.g., 3 seconds), pressed a preset number of times (e.g., 3 times) within a preset duration (e.g., 2 seconds), or a single click or long press, etc. It should be noted that the fourth preset command is different from the second preset command to increase the difficulty for children to unlock the device at will, thereby reducing the probability of children unlocking it at will.

[0060] The third method: such as Figure 4 As shown, when the garment handling device is in child lock mode, if the operation command generated when the virtual button 61 is triggered is determined to be the second preset command, then in the step of controlling the garment handling device to enter the unlocked state:

[0061] In step S410, when the garment handling device is in child lock mode, if it is determined that the operation command generated when the virtual button 61 is triggered is a second preset command, then the touch screen 63 is controlled to display a third countdown duration and a third prompt message. It should be noted that this method sets the virtual button 61 on the garment handling device as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock, receiving the second preset command. In this example, the garment handling device includes a touch screen 63. The touch screen 63 is equipped with a virtual button 61, and the user can control the garment handling device to perform corresponding actions by operating the virtual button 61. In one example, the touch screen 63 can be a resistive touch screen 63, a capacitive touch screen 63, an infrared touch screen 63, or a surface acoustic wave touch screen 63. When the processor determines that the acquired operation command is the second preset command, it controls the touch screen 63 to display a third countdown duration and a third prompt message. The third countdown duration is used to prompt the user to perform the next operation within a specified time. The duration of the third countdown depends on actual needs. In one example, the third countdown duration is 15 seconds, 20 seconds, or 30 seconds. This specific duration is only an example of the third countdown duration and does not constitute a limitation on setting other durations for the third countdown duration. The third prompt message is used to prompt the user to perform the next operation, that is, to prompt the operation corresponding to the third preset instruction.

[0062] In step S420, if the operation command generated when the virtual button 61 is triggered is the fifth preset command within the third countdown period, the clothing handling device is controlled to enter the unlock state; otherwise, the child lock state of the clothing handling device is maintained. It should be noted that a virtual button 61 is provided in the touchscreen 63, and in this example, unlocking is performed through the virtual button 61 on the touchscreen 63. It should be noted that this method sets the virtual button 61 on the clothing handling device as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock, receiving the fifth preset command. The fifth preset command is the operation command prompted by the third prompt message. In one example, the fifth preset command could be that the button 61 is pressed for a preset duration (e.g., 3 seconds), pressed a preset number of times (e.g., 3 times) within a preset duration (e.g., 2 seconds), a single click, or a long press, etc. It should be noted that the fifth preset command is different from the second preset command to increase the difficulty for children to unlock the device at will, thereby reducing the probability of children unlocking it at will. If the fifth preset command is not received within the third countdown period, unlocking is not performed, and the child lock state of the clothing handling device is maintained. In one example, if the cumulative number of erroneous operation commands received reaches a preset number, then the function of button 61 will be disabled for a first preset time. To prevent accidental unlocking due to potential user errors or children repeatedly pressing button 61, erroneous operation commands are counted within the third countdown. When the number of errors reaches a preset number, it indicates a high probability that a child or pet is operating the device. In this case, the child lock state of the clothing processing device is maintained, and button 61 is locked for a first preset time (i.e., button 61 cannot send operation commands to the processor during the first preset time, thus disabling the function of button 61) to reduce the processor's workload. It should be noted that the erroneous operation command is different from the fifth preset command.

[0063] The fourth method: such as Figure 5 As shown, when the garment handling device is in child lock mode, if the operation command generated when the virtual button 61 is triggered is determined to be the second preset command, then in the step of controlling the garment handling device to enter the unlocked state:

[0064] In step S510, when the garment processing device is in child lock mode, if it is determined that the operation command formed when the virtual button 61 is triggered is a second preset command, then the touch screen 63 is controlled to display a fourth countdown and a fourth prompt message. It should be noted that this method sets the virtual button 61 on the garment processing device as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock, receiving the second preset command. In this example, the garment processing device includes a touch screen 63. The touch screen 63 is equipped with a virtual button 61, and the user can control the garment processing device to perform corresponding actions by operating the virtual button 61. In one example, the touch screen 63 can be a resistive touch screen 63, a capacitive touch screen 63, an infrared touch screen 63, or a surface acoustic wave touch screen 63. When the processor determines that the acquired operation command is the second preset command, it controls the touch screen 63 to display a fourth countdown and a fourth prompt message. The fourth countdown is used to prompt the user to perform the next operation within a specified time. The fourth countdown duration depends on actual needs. In one example, the fourth countdown duration is 15 seconds, 20 seconds, or 30 seconds. This specific duration is only an example of the fourth countdown duration and does not constitute a limitation on setting other durations for the fourth countdown duration. The fourth prompt message is used to prompt the user to perform the next operation, that is, to prompt the operation corresponding to the third preset instruction.

[0065] In step S520, if the operation command generated when the physical button 61 is triggered is the sixth preset command within the fourth countdown period, the clothing processing device is controlled to enter the unlocked state; otherwise, the child lock state of the clothing processing device is maintained. It should be noted that this method sets the physical button 61 on the clothing processing device as the button 61 for activating and deactivating the child lock, receiving the sixth preset command. The sixth preset command is the operation command prompted by the fourth prompt message. In one example, the sixth preset command could be that the button 61 is pressed for a preset duration (e.g., 3 seconds), pressed a preset number of times (e.g., 3 times) within a preset duration (e.g., 2 seconds), a single click, or a long press, etc. It should be noted that the sixth preset command is different from the second preset command to increase the difficulty for children to unlock the device at will, thereby reducing the probability of children unlocking it arbitrarily. If the third preset command is not received within the fourth countdown period, unlocking is not performed, and the child lock state of the clothing processing device is maintained. In one example, if the cumulative number of erroneous operation commands received reaches a preset number, the function of button 61 is disabled for a first preset duration. To prevent accidental unlocking due to user error or children repeatedly pressing button 61, the system counts erroneous operation commands within the fourth countdown. If the number of errors reaches a preset threshold, indicating a high probability of child or pet operation, the child lock state of the garment handling device is maintained, and button 61 is locked for a first preset duration (meaning button 61 cannot send operation commands to the processor during this duration, effectively disabling its function) to reduce the processor's workload. It should be noted that the erroneous operation command is different from the sixth preset command.

[0066] The child lock control method provided in the embodiments of this application acquires the operation command formed when any button 61 on the clothing processing device is triggered. When the clothing processing device is in the unlocked state, if the operation command is determined to be a first preset command, the clothing processing device is controlled to enter the child lock state. When the clothing processing device is in the child lock state, if the operation command is determined to be a second preset command, the clothing processing device is controlled to enter the unlocked state. The child lock control method of this application improves the safety performance of the product by acquiring the user's operation behavior on the button 61 on the clothing processing device and the state of the clothing processing device itself. In addition, by setting any button 61 on the clothing processing device as the button 61 to trigger or deactivate the child lock, this application changes the traditional method that requires multiple buttons 61 to operate together, simplifies the operation of triggering or deactivating the child lock, and provides users with convenience in using the product.

[0067] It should be understood that, although Figure 1-5The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order in which these steps are executed, and they can be performed in other orders. Figure 1-5 At least some of the steps in the process may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages.
