Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smart home appliances, and particularly provides a control method for a clothes processing device and the clothes processing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] A washing machine is a common household clothes processing device. According to the washing mode, the washing machine can be roughly divided into a pulsator washing machine and a drum washing machine. Taking the drum washing machine as an example, the drum washing machine prompts the user to take clothes after washing. However, in the process of taking clothes, the user may forget some clothes, such as small clothes like underwear and socks, which are easy to stick to the inner wall and are not easy for the user to observe, or the user is interrupted by other things in the process of taking and airing clothes, and forgets some clothes in the washing machine; and after airing the last piece of clothes, the user needs to return to the washing machine to confirm whether all the clothes are aired.

[0003] To solve the above problems, in the prior art, the drum washing machine takes an image in the inner drum after washing, judges whether there are clothes left in the inner drum according to the image, and prompts the user. However, in the process of taking clothes, the clothes located at the lower part of the inner drum may be taken out by the clothes located at the upper part of the inner drum and fall to the ground, and the fallen clothes are in the visual blind area of the user, which is difficult for the user to find, and is not conducive to the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a new control method for a clothes processing device and the clothes processing device to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to solve the above technical problems, that is, to solve the problem that the clothes fall to the ground in the process of taking clothes of the existing clothes processing device, resulting in poor user experience.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a control method for a clothes processing device, the clothes processing device comprising a first camera device; the control method comprising the following steps: after the end of a clothes processing program of the clothes processing device, acquiring an external environment image of the clothes processing device by the first camera device; judging whether clothes have fallen according to the external environment image; and selectively sending a prompt message according to the judgment result.

[0007] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, the step of "judging whether clothes have fallen according to the external environment image" specifically comprises: comparing each frame of image in the external environment image; judging whether an object moves along a preset direction according to the comparison result; if an object moves along the preset direction, it is determined that clothes have fallen; and / or if no object moves along the preset direction, it is determined that no clothes have fallen.

[0008] In the preferred technical scheme of the control method, the step of selectively sending the prompt information according to the judgment result specifically comprises: in the case of determining that the clothes are falling, sending the prompt information to prompt the user that the clothes are falling; and / or in the case of determining that the clothes are not falling, not sending the prompt information.

[0009] In the preferred technical scheme of the control method, the clothes treatment device further comprises a second camera device; before the step of acquiring the external environment image of the clothes treatment device by the first camera device, the control method further comprises: acquiring a first image in the inner drum of the clothes treatment device by the second camera device; judging whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out according to the first image; and starting the first camera device if the clothes are taken out from the inner drum.

[0010] In the preferred technical scheme of the control method, the step of judging whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out according to the first image specifically comprises: comparing the first image with an empty drum image of the inner drum; judging whether the inner drum is empty according to the comparison result; in the case of determining that the inner drum is not empty, acquiring a second image in the inner drum by the second camera device; comparing the second image with the first image; and judging whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out based on the comparison result.

[0011] In the preferred technical scheme of the control method, the step of judging whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out according to the first image further comprises: in the case of determining that the inner drum is empty, sending a prompt information to prompt the user that the clothes have been taken out completely; and / or making the first camera device and the second camera device both in an off state; and / or closing a door body of the clothes treatment device; and / or shutting down the clothes treatment device.

[0012] In the preferred technical scheme of the control method, the control method further comprises: if the clothes are not taken out from the inner drum, not starting the first camera device and sending a prompt information to prompt the user to take out the clothes.

[0013] In the preferred technical scheme of the control method, the step of sending the prompt information specifically comprises: sending the prompt information according to a first preset time interval.

[0014] In the preferred technical scheme of the control method, the first camera device is arranged on a box body of the clothes treatment device; and / or the second camera device is arranged on an outer drum of the clothes treatment device.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present application provides a clothes processing device, comprising: a processor; a memory for storing a plurality of program codes; the program codes are adapted to be loaded and executed by the processor to perform the control method of any one of the above preferred technical solutions.

[0016] In the preferred technical solutions of the control method of the present application, after the running of the clothes processing program of the washing machine ends, the external environment image of the washing machine is acquired by the first camera device; whether there is clothes falling is judged according to the external environment image; and the prompt information is selectively sent according to the judgment result.

[0017] Compared with the technical solution in the prior art which only prompts whether the clothes in the inner drum are taken out, the present application acquires the external environment image of the washing machine by the first camera device after the running of the clothes processing program of the washing machine ends, and can accurately judge whether there is clothes falling in the process of taking clothes according to the external environment image, and based on this, the prompt information is selectively sent, which can timely prompt the user that there is clothes falling, so that the user can find the fallen clothes in time, avoid the user stepping on the fallen clothes, and further improve the user experience.

[0018] Further, the first image in the inner drum of the washing machine is acquired by the second camera device, and whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out can be accurately judged according to the first image. If the clothes are taken out from the inner drum, it is likely that clothes will fall in the process of taking clothes, so the first camera device is started, so that the first camera device is started only when it is likely that clothes will fall, avoiding the first camera device continuously performing the shooting operation, saving electric energy; and reducing the probability of the first camera device shooting the image of the user, avoiding the leakage of the privacy of the user, and further improving the use experience of the user.

[0019] Still further, if no clothes are taken out from the inner drum, the clothes are piled up in the inner drum, and the prompt information is sent, which can timely prompt the user to take out the clothes, avoiding the clothes being piled up in the inner drum for a long time to breed bacteria and wrinkle; and the first camera device is not started, further reducing the probability of the first camera device shooting the image of the user, and further avoiding the leakage of the privacy of the user.

[0020] Further, the first image is compared with the empty drum image of the inner drum, and according to the comparison result, it can be determined whether the inner drum is empty, and whether there is laundry to be taken out in the inner drum; and in the case that the inner drum is not empty and there is laundry to be taken out in the inner drum, the second image in the inner drum is acquired by the second camera, the second image is compared with the first image, and based on the comparison result, it can be determined whether the user is performing the laundry taking operation and whether the laundry is being taken out, so that it can be determined whether the first camera needs to be started, and the first camera is prevented from being started when the user does not perform the laundry taking operation.

[0021] Further, in the case that the inner drum is empty and there is no laundry to be taken out in the inner drum, a prompt information is sent to prompt the user that the laundry has been taken out completely, and the user does not need to return to the washing machine to confirm again whether all the clothes are dried, and the door body of the washing machine can be closed and the washing machine can be turned off, thereby improving the user experience.

[0022] In addition, the first camera and the second camera can be both in the closed state, further saving the electric energy, further reducing the probability that the first camera captures the image of the user, and further avoiding the leakage of the privacy of the user.

[0036] Based on the technical problems proposed in the background art, the present application provides a control method for a washing machine, which aims to obtain an external environment image of the washing machine through a first camera device after the completion of a laundry treatment program of the washing machine, accurately determine whether there is a laundry falling in the process of taking the laundry according to the external environment image, and selectively send prompt information based thereon, so as to timely prompt the user that there is a laundry falling, so that the user can timely find the falling laundry, avoid the user stepping on the falling laundry, and further improve the user experience.

[0037] Firstly, referring to Figure 1 The washing machine of the present application is described. Among them, Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the washing machine of the present application.

[0038] As Figure 1As shown, the washing machine of the present application comprises a cabinet 1, an outer drum 2, an inner drum 3, a first camera 4 and a second camera 5. Among them, the outer drum 2 is arranged in the cabinet 1, used for containing washing water; the inner drum 3 is rotatably arranged in the outer drum 2, used for containing clothes; the first camera 4 is arranged on the front panel 11 of the cabinet 1, used for shooting the external environment image of the washing machine; the second camera 5 is arranged on the outer drum 2, used for shooting the internal image of the inner drum 3. Of course, in actual application, the first camera 4 can also be arranged on the side panel of the washing machine, on the outer wall of the door body 6 and other parts of the washing machine, and the second camera 5 can also be arranged on the window pad of the washing machine, on the inner wall of the door body 6 and other parts of the washing machine, and the setting position of the first camera 4 and the second camera 5 can be flexibly adjusted and set by the person skilled in the art.

[0039] Among them, the first camera 4 and the second camera 5 can be but are not limited to a camera, a camera and a video camera.

[0040] Next, the control method of the present application is described. Figures 2 to 4 The control method of the present application is described. Figure 2 The flowchart of the control method of the present application is shown in Figure 1 ; Figure 3 The flowchart of the control method of the present application is shown in Figure 4 The flowchart of the control method of the present application is shown in

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 , the control method of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0042] S100, after the end of the clothes processing program of the washing machine, the external environment image of the washing machine is obtained by the first camera;

[0043] S200, according to the external environment image, it is judged whether there is clothes falling;

[0044] S300, according to the judgment result, the prompt information is selectively sent.

[0045] In step S100, the end of the clothes processing program can be the completion of the execution of the quick washing program, the standard washing program, the wool program, the down program and other clothes processing programs, but the washing machine has not been turned off.

[0046] Further, the running stage of the washing machine can be obtained, such as the washing stage, the rinsing stage, the spinning stage and the like, and whether the clothes processing program is running is judged according to the running stage of the washing machine.

[0047] Further, the washing machine shoots an external environment image of the washing machine, for example, shoots an image in front of the front panel of the washing machine, or shoots an image of the ground of the environment where the washing machine is placed, etc. by the first shooting device, such as a camera, a camera, etc. arranged on the front panel of the cabinet.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3 Taking the example of shooting an image in front of the front panel of the cabinet, the step of "judging whether there is laundry falling according to the external environment image" in step S200 specifically includes:

[0049] S211, comparing each frame of image in the external environment image;

[0050] S212, judging whether there is an object moving along a preset direction according to the comparison result; if yes, executing step S213; if no, executing step S214;

[0051] S213, determining that there is laundry falling;

[0052] S214, determining that there is no laundry falling.

[0053] In steps S211 and S212, each frame of image in the shot external environment image is compared with the last frame of image respectively; according to the comparison result, whether there is an object moving along the direction from top to bottom, or from top left to bottom right, or from top right to bottom left is judged.

[0054] In step S213, if there is an object moving along the preset direction, which means that there is an object moving from top to bottom, it can be considered that there is laundry falling in the process of taking laundry, so that the laundry falling can be found in time and in advance in the process of laundry falling, and it is not necessary to find the laundry falling when the laundry falls to the ground.

[0055] In step S214, if there is no object moving along the preset direction, which means that there is no object moving from top to bottom, it can be considered that there is no laundry falling in the process of taking laundry.

[0056] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S213 and S214 have no sequence, are parallel, are only related to the judgment result of whether there is an object moving along the preset direction, and the corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0057] Or, in an alternative embodiment, taking the example of shooting an image of the ground of the environment where the washing machine is placed, the step of "judging whether there is laundry falling according to the external environment image" in step S200 specifically includes:

[0058] comparing the external environment image with the standard image of the ground;

[0059] judging whether there is laundry falling according to the comparison result.

[0060] Specifically, the standard image of the ground is taken as the first background image, the background of the external environment image is removed according to the first background image to obtain the first target image, the influence of the background environment is removed, and whether the clothes are dropped can be more accurately judged. Further, the first target image is compared with the first reference image (i.e. the first blank image) stored in the washing machine, if the target image is not the same as or similar to the first reference image, it means that the clothes are dropped on the ground; otherwise, it means that the clothes are not dropped on the ground.

[0061] Further, other target detection models such as RetinaNet model, SPPNet model, SSD model and YOLO model can be called to compare the external environment image with the standard image of the ground. No matter which target detection model is used, the specific method of comparing the external environment image with the standard image of the ground corresponding to any target detection model should not constitute any limitation on the present application.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 3, Figure 4 the step of selectively sending prompt information according to the judgment result in step S300 specifically includes:

[0063] S311, in the case of determining that the clothes are dropped, sending prompt information to prompt the user that the clothes are dropped;

[0064] S312, in the case of determining that the clothes are not dropped, not sending prompt information.

[0065] In step S311, in the case of determining that the clothes are dropped, it means that the user drops the clothes during the clothes taking process, and then the prompt information is sent, which can timely prompt the user that the clothes are dropped, so that the user can timely find the dropped clothes, avoid the user stepping on the dropped clothes, and further improve the user experience.

[0066] Preferably, the washing machine can send the prompt information in the form of voice or ring tone; the washing machine can display the prompt information on the display module of the washing machine; the washing machine can also send the prompt information to the terminal device such as the user's mobile phone, tablet computer, smart bracelet, etc.

[0067] Further, the washing machine sends the prompt information in the form of a bee sound, and as the distance between the dropped clothes and the ground shortens, the bee sound becomes more and more urgent, and the interval between the short beeps of the bee sound becomes shorter and shorter.

[0068] In step S312, in the case of determining that the clothes are not dropped, it means that the user does not drop the clothes during the clothes taking process, and no prompt is needed, so no prompt information is sent; and returns to step S100 to continue detecting whether the clothes are dropped until all the clothes in the inner drum are taken out.

[0069] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S311 and S312 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether clothes are falling, and the corresponding steps can be executed according to different judgment results.

[0070] The control method of the present application will be further described below with reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 . Figure 5 is the flowchart of the control method of the present application Figure 2 . Figure 6 is the flowchart of the control method of the present application for judging whether clothes are being taken out.

[0071] As Figure 5 shown, before step S100 "acquire the external environment image of the washing machine through the first camera device", the control method further comprises:

[0072] S010, after the end of the clothes treatment program of the washing machine, acquire the first image in the inner drum of the washing machine through the second camera device;

[0073] S020, according to the first image, judge whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out; if yes, execute step S030; if no, execute step S040;

[0074] S030, start the first camera device;

[0075] S040, do not start the first camera device, and send a prompt information to prompt the user to take out the clothes.

[0076] In step S010, the first image in the inner drum is acquired immediately after the end of the washing machine operation, which can timely judge whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out, so as to timely judge whether the clothes are falling during the clothes taking process of the user. Of course, the first image in the inner drum can also be acquired after the end of the washing machine operation and after a preset time interval, for example, 1 min, 3 min or 5 min, and whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out is judged based on this, which gives the user enough time to execute the clothes taking operation beside the washing machine.

[0077] Further, the second camera device such as camera head or camera is started, which is arranged on the outer drum, and the washing machine acquires the first image in the inner drum through the second camera device.

[0078] If clothes are taken out from the inner drum, and clothes falling is likely to occur during the clothes taking process, the first camera is started, so that the first camera is started only when clothes falling is likely to occur, avoiding continuous shooting operation of the first camera, saving power; and reducing the probability of the first camera shooting the image of the user, avoiding the leakage of the privacy of the user, and further improving the use experience of the user.

[0079] If no clothes are taken out from the inner drum, indicating that the clothes are stacked in the inner drum, the prompt information is sent, which can prompt the user to take out the clothes in time, avoiding the breeding of bacteria and the occurrence of wrinkles of the clothes stacked in the inner drum for a long time; and the first camera is not started, further reducing the probability of the first camera shooting the image of the user, further avoiding the leakage of the privacy of the user. And return to step S010 until it is determined that clothes are taken out.

[0080] Further, the prompt information is sent every 10 minutes. Of course, the first preset time interval is not limited to the above-mentioned time, but can also be 2 minutes, 6 minutes or 14 minutes or other times.

[0081] It should be noted that in the above process, steps S030 and S040 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out, and the corresponding steps can be performed according to different judgment results.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 2, Figure 6 The step of "judging whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out according to the first image" in step S020 specifically includes:

[0083] S021, comparing the first image with the empty drum image of the inner drum;

[0084] S022, judging whether the inner drum is empty according to the comparison result; if yes, executing step S023; if no, executing step S024;

[0085] S023, sending prompt information to prompt the user that the clothes have been taken out completely; making the first camera and the second camera both in the closed state; closing the door body of the washing machine; and making the washing machine shut down;

[0086] S024, acquiring the second image in the inner drum through the second camera;

[0087] S025, comparing the second image with the first image;

[0088] S026, judging whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out based on the comparison result.

[0089] In step S021, the empty drum image is taken as a second background image, the background of the first image is removed according to the second background image to obtain a second target image, the influence of the background environment is removed, and whether the inner drum is an empty drum can be more accurately judged. Further, the second target image is compared with a second reference image (i.e. a second blank image) stored in the washing machine, if the second target image is not the same as or similar to the second reference image, it means that there are clothes in the inner drum, and the inner drum is not an empty drum; otherwise, it means that there are no clothes in the inner drum, and the inner drum is an empty drum.

[0090] Further, other target detection models such as RetinaNet model, SPPNet model, SSD model and YOLO model can be called to compare the first image with the empty drum image of the inner drum. No matter which target detection model is used, the specific method of comparing the first image with the empty drum image of the inner drum corresponding to any target detection model should not constitute any limitation on the present application.

[0091] In step S023, in the case that the inner drum is determined to be an empty drum and there are no clothes to be taken out in the inner drum, a prompt information is sent to prompt the user that the clothes have been taken out completely, the user does not need to go back to the washing machine to check again whether all the clothes are dried, the door body of the washing machine can be closed, and the washing machine is turned off, thereby improving the user experience.

[0092] Preferably, the washing machine can send the prompt information in the form of voice or ring tone; the washing machine can display the prompt information on the display module of the washing machine; the washing machine can also send the prompt information to the terminal device such as the user's mobile phone, tablet computer, smart bracelet, etc.

[0093] Further, the first camera and the second camera can also be in the off state, further saving the electric energy, further reducing the probability of the first camera shooting the image of the user, and further avoiding the leakage of the user's privacy.

[0094] Of course, in actual use, only one or several of the "sending prompt information", "making the first camera and the second camera in the off state", "closing the door body of the washing machine", and "turning off the washing machine" can be executed. Those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and set according to the actual use requirements.

[0095] In step S024, in the case that the inner drum is determined to be not an empty drum and there are clothes to be taken out in the inner drum, the washing machine shoots a second image in the inner drum through the second camera device such as a camera arranged on the outer drum.

[0096] In step S025 and step S026, the second image and the first image are compared. If the second image and the first image are not the same or similar, it indicates that the laundry in the inner drum is being taken out. Otherwise, it indicates that the laundry in the inner drum is not being taken out.

[0097] Further, other target detection models such as the RetinaNet model, the SPPNet model, the SSD model, and the YOLO model can be called to compare the second image and the first image. Regardless of the target detection model used, the specific method of any target detection model for comparing the second image and the first image should not constitute any limitation on the present application.

[0098] It should be noted that in the above process, step S023 and step S024 have no sequence and are parallel, and are only related to the judgment result of whether the inner drum is empty. According to different judgment results, the corresponding steps can be executed.

[0099] Alternatively, in an alternative embodiment, the step of "judging whether the laundry in the inner drum is being taken out according to the first image" in step S020 specifically includes:

[0100] The first image is acquired according to a second preset time interval, for example, 1 min, 2 min, or 5 min or other time;

[0101] The acquired adjacent two first images are compared;

[0102] Based on the comparison result, it is judged whether the laundry in the inner drum is being taken out.

[0103] The specific method of comparing the two first images can refer to the description in step S025, and will not be repeated here.

[0104] The following refers to Figure 7 a possible control flow of the present application. Wherein, Fig. 7 is a logic diagram of the control method of the present application.

[0105] As Figure 7 shown, a possible complete flow of the control method of the present application is:

[0107] S402, comparing the first image with the empty drum image of the inner drum;

[0108] S403, judging whether the inner drum is empty according to the comparison result; if yes, executing step S404; if no, executing step S405;

[0109] S404, the first camera and the second camera are both in a closed state; the door of the washing machine is closed; the washing machine is powered off; and step S413 is executed to prompt the user that the clothes have been taken out completely;

[0110] S405, a second image in the inner drum is acquired by the second camera;

[0111] S406, the second image and the first image are compared;

[0112] S407, based on the comparison result, it is determined whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out; if yes, step S408 is executed; if no, step S413 is executed to prompt the user to take out the clothes;

[0113] S408, the first camera is started;

[0114] S409, an external environment image of the washing machine is acquired by the first camera;

[0115] S410, each frame of the external environment image is compared;

[0116] S411, based on the comparison result, it is determined whether an object is moving along a preset direction; if yes, step S412 is executed; if no, step S414 is executed;

[0117] S412, it is determined that the clothes are falling; after step S412, step S413 is executed to prompt the user that the clothes are falling;

[0118] S413, prompt information is sent;

[0119] S414, it is determined that the clothes are not falling; then, step S409 is returned to detect again whether the clothes are falling until the clothes in the inner drum are taken out completely. Alternatively, step S405 (not shown in the figure) can be returned to detect again whether the clothes in the inner drum are being taken out until the clothes in the inner drum are taken out completely.
