[0024] With social development and the improvement of people's living standards, laundry equipment has become a common household appliance. To meet the needs of different users, various types of laundry equipment, such as top-loading washing machines and front-loading washing machines, have appeared on the market, bringing many conveniences to people's lives. However, laundry equipment usually generates lint and / or dirt during the washing process. To prevent lint from clogging the drain pipe or to prevent dirt from causing secondary pollution to clothes, filters are usually installed in laundry equipment to collect lint and / or dirt that falls from clothing, sheets, and other textiles during the washing process.

[0025] In practical applications, as the number of washes increases, lint and / or dirt in the filter will gradually accumulate. Therefore, users need to manually remove the filter and clean out the lint and / or dirt. However, users often forget to clean it, or the cleaning interval is too long, causing the lint in the filter to clog the drain pipe, or the dirt in the filter to cause secondary pollution to the clothes.

[0026] Therefore, it can be seen that the cleaning of the current filter mainly depends on the life experience and / or subjective judgment of the user, resulting in that the cleaning of the filter is not timely, and further resulting in that the lint and / or dirt in the filter exceeds the standard. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a scheme capable of timely and accurate cleaning reminding for the user.

[0027] Next, a cleaning reminding method and device according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0028] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a cleaning reminding method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The cleaning reminding method of the present application can be executed by a server, can be executed by a washing device, or can be executed by the server and the washing device together. As shown in Figure 1 the cleaning reminding method is applied to a washing device, and includes:

[0029] S101, when the door body of the washing device is opened, detecting a putting back operation of the user on the filter in the washing device, and recording a current putting back time of the filter, wherein the putting back operation refers to the operation of the user taking out the filter and putting it back to the washing device;

[0030] S102, acquiring the current putting back time and historical putting back time of the filter and the washing parameter of the washing device, wherein the historical putting back time is the putting back time closest to the current putting back time;

[0031] S103, calculating a time difference value between the current putting back time and the historical putting back time, and determining whether the filter needs to be cleaned based on the time difference value and the washing parameter.

[0032] Specifically, the server can be a server providing various services, for example, a background server receiving a request sent by a terminal device establishing a communication connection therewith. The background server can receive and analyze the request sent by the terminal device, and generate a processing result. The server can be a server, can be a server cluster composed of several servers, or can be a cloud computing service center, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0033] It should be noted that the server can be hardware or software. When the server is hardware, it can be various electronic devices providing various services for terminal devices. When the server is software, it can be multiple software or software modules providing various services for terminal devices, or can be a single software or software module providing various services for terminal devices, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0034] The terminal device can be hardware or software. When the terminal device is hardware, it can be various electronic devices with a display screen and supporting communication with the server, including but not limited to a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, and the like; when the terminal device is software, it can be installed in the electronic device as described above. The terminal device can be implemented as multiple software or software modules, or as a single software or software module, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0035] The laundry device can include a drum washing machine, an impeller washing machine, a stirring tub washing machine, a combination washing machine, a shoe washing device, and / or a washing and drying integrated device, etc. Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific structure of the laundry device in actual application, as long as the laundry device can wash and / or dry the laundry.

[0036] The filter can be a device with a foreign matter (e.g., lint, etc.) filtering function, including but not limited to a lint filter, a filter screen, etc. Here, the lint filter can capture the lint floating in the washing water, so that the lint does not attach to the laundry again, and prevents the lint from affecting the waterway. Preferably, in the embodiments of the present application, the filter is a lint filter. Further, the filter can be detachably provided at any position of the laundry device, for example, on the side wall or the bottom of the inner cylinder / inner tub.

[0037] The operation of the filter in the laundry device by the user can include but is not limited to a taking operation, a putting back operation, an observation operation, etc. Here, taking the laundry device as an example, the taking operation refers to the operation of the user taking the filter from the side wall of the inner cylinder of the drum washing machine, i.e., when it is detected that the state of the hand of the user reaching into the inner cylinder is empty-handed and the state of the hand leaving the inner cylinder is non-empty-handed, it is determined that the operation of the user on the filter is a taking operation; the putting back operation refers to the operation of the user taking out the filter and putting it back to the drum washing machine, i.e., when it is detected that the state of the hand of the user reaching into the inner cylinder is non-empty-handed and the state of the hand leaving the inner cylinder is empty-handed, it is determined that the operation of the user on the filter is a putting back operation; the observation operation refers to the operation of the user taking the filter from the drum washing machine to observe and then putting it back to the drum washing machine, i.e., when it is detected that the state of the hand of the user reaching into the inner cylinder is empty-handed and the state of the hand leaving the inner cylinder is empty-handed, it is determined that the operation of the user on the filter is an observation operation.

[0038] The current putting-back time refers to the time when the user puts the filter back to the laundry device, i.e., the time when the user performs the putting-back operation on the filter in the laundry device. The historical putting-back time refers to the time when the user performs the putting-back operation on the filter in the laundry device in the past. In the embodiment of the present application, the historical putting-back time is the putting-back time closest to the current putting-back time. For example, assuming that the current putting-back time is March 6, 2021, 16:15, the obtained historical putting-back times are February 25, 2021, 9:00, March 1, 2021, 13:00, and March 5, 2021, 20:30, then March 5, 2021, 20:30 is selected as the historical putting-back time.

[0039] The washing parameter is a parameter set by the manufacturer of the laundry device through experimental environment test according to the type of washing object, washing time, washing temperature, etc. The washing parameter can include at least one of the number of washing, the length of washing, the type of washing, and the temperature of washing. Further, the washing parameter has a certain correlation with the turbidity of the filter. For example, the more the number of washing, the higher the turbidity of the filter; the longer the length of washing, the higher the turbidity of the filter; and the type of washing is wool washing, the higher the turbidity of the filter.

[0040] According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application, by detecting the operation of the user on the laundry device when the door body of the laundry device is opened, i.e., the operation of the user taking out the filter from the laundry device and putting it back to the laundry device, and recording the current putting-back time of the filter, the current putting-back time and the historical putting-back time of the filter and the washing parameter of the laundry device are obtained, wherein the historical putting-back time is the putting-back time closest to the current putting-back time; the time difference between the current putting-back time and the historical putting-back time is calculated, and based on the time difference and the washing parameter, it is determined whether the filter needs to be cleaned. When it is determined that the filter needs to be cleaned, a reminder is sent to the user, thus improving the timeliness and accuracy of the filter cleaning reminder, avoiding the problems of drain pipe blockage and secondary pollution of clothes caused by long-term non-cleaning of the filter, and further improving the user experience.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cleaning reminder method further comprises: in the process of the user approaching the laundry device from far to near, detecting the user around the laundry device by using the sensing device installed on the laundry device; when it is detected that the distance between the user and the laundry device reaches a preset range, determining whether the user performs an opening operation on the door body of the laundry device; after it is determined that the user performs the opening operation on the door body of the laundry device, opening the door body of the laundry device.

[0042] Specifically, when detecting the user near the laundry equipment, the distance between the user and the laundry equipment can be detected by the sensing device installed on the laundry equipment; when the distance of the user is sensed to reach the preset range, the operation of the user opening the door body of the laundry equipment is detected in real time by the detection device installed on the laundry equipment, and when the operation of the user opening the door body of the laundry equipment is detected, the door body of the laundry equipment is opened.

[0043] Here, the sensing device refers to a device that can sense the information to be measured, and can convert the sensed information into an electrical signal or other required form of information output according to a certain rule to meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording and control. The sensing device can include but is not limited to a radar sensor, an infrared sensor, a sound wave sensor, etc. It should be noted that the specific type, number and position of the sensing device can be adjusted according to the actual requirements of the application scene, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0044] The preset range is a boundary line for determining whether the user enters the detection range of the laundry equipment. The preset range can be a range that the user sets in advance according to experience data, or can be the maximum range that the sensing device installed on the laundry equipment can detect, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The preset range can be a range of 0.1 meters to 1 meter from the laundry equipment. Preferably, the preset range is 0.5 meters, that is, a range with the laundry equipment as the center and 0.5 meters as the radius.

[0045] The detection device can be a camera, an infrared sensor, or other devices that can detect the operation of the user opening the door body of the laundry equipment, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. It should be noted that the specific type, number and position of the detection device can be adjusted according to the actual requirements of the application scene, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0046] It should be noted that in order to improve the accuracy of detection, any combination of sensing devices and detection devices can be used, for example, a camera and an infrared sensor can be used at the same time, an infrared sensor and a radar sensor can be used at the same time, or a camera, an infrared sensor and a radar sensor can be used at the same time, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0047] According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application, by detecting whether the user opens the door body of the laundry equipment, the camera device in the inner cylinder / inner barrel of the laundry equipment can be started to take pictures when it is determined that the user opens the door body of the laundry equipment, so that resource waste is avoided and the service life of the camera device is improved.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the door body of the washing device is opened, the returning operation of the filter in the washing device by the user is detected, and the current returning time of the filter is recorded, including: after opening the door body of the washing device, video image frames in a period of time are collected by using a camera device installed in the washing device to obtain a plurality of ordered image frames; image recognition is performed on the plurality of ordered image frames to determine the operation of the user taking out and returning the filter to the washing device; and the collection time of the frame image corresponding to the operation is taken as the current returning time of the filter.

[0049] Specifically, after the door body of the washing device is opened, the washing device starts the camera device installed in the washing device to continuously shoot the inner drum / bucket of the washing device to obtain a plurality of ordered image frames generated by continuously shooting the inner drum / bucket in a period of time, and selects a plurality of image frames containing the operation of the user taking out and returning the filter to the washing device from the plurality of ordered image frames through image recognition, and takes the shooting time of the last frame image in the plurality of image frames as the current returning time of the filter. It should be understood that the so-called continuous shooting should not be understood in a narrow sense as shooting without time interval. In actual application, a certain time interval can be set according to the configuration of the camera device and the light condition of the inner drum / bucket to shoot the operation of the user taking out and returning the filter to the washing device.

[0050] Here, the camera device can be various devices for shooting image information inside the inner drum / bucket of the washing device, including but not limited to wide-angle camera, binocular camera, Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera, wireless camera, zoom camera, gun camera, half-sphere camera, wide-dynamic camera, etc. Further, a wireless communication module is arranged in the camera device to transmit the image information shot by the camera device to the washing device via a network. In the embodiment of the present application, the camera device can include a plurality of cameras which can be installed in the inner drum / bucket of the washing device in different directions and angles to ensure that the hand image of the user can be contained in the shot video image frames.

[0051] According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application, by starting the camera device to shoot immediately after the door body of the washing device is opened, a plurality of ordered image frames are obtained, a plurality of image frames containing the returning operation of the filter by the user are selected from the plurality of image frames, and the shooting time of the last frame image in the plurality of image frames is taken as the current returning time of the filter, which can ensure the accuracy of the obtained current returning time, so that whether the filter needs to be cleaned can be quickly and accurately judged based on the current returning time, and therefore, the judgment accuracy and efficiency of the cleaning reminder are improved, and the judgment time of the cleaning reminder is saved.

[0052] In some embodiments, the washing parameter comprises a washing frequency, and the determination of whether the filter needs to be cleaned based on the time difference value and the washing parameter comprises: in a case where the time difference value is greater than or equal to a preset time threshold and the washing frequency is greater than or equal to a preset frequency threshold, prompting the user to clean the filter.

[0053] Specifically, after the current return time and the historical return time of the filter are obtained, the laundry device calculates a time difference value of the current return time and the historical return time, and determines whether the filter needs to be cleaned based on the time difference value and the obtained washing parameter; if the time difference value is greater than or equal to a preset time threshold and the washing frequency is greater than or equal to a preset frequency threshold, the laundry device determines that the filter needs to be cleaned, and at this time, the laundry device prompts the user to clean the filter; if the time difference value is less than the preset time threshold and / or the washing frequency is less than the preset frequency threshold, the laundry device determines that the filter does not need to be cleaned, and at this time, the laundry device does not prompt the user to clean the filter.

[0054] Here, the time difference value refers to the time interval between the current return time and the historical return time. The preset time threshold can be a time threshold preset by the user based on experience data, or a time threshold obtained by adjusting the set time threshold according to the needs of the user, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. For example, the preset time threshold can be one day, three days, one week, half a month, one month, etc. Preferably, in the embodiments of the present application, the preset time threshold is one week.

[0055] The washing frequency refers to the number of times the laundry device washes the clothes. In the embodiments of the present application, the washing frequency refers to the cumulative number of times the laundry device executes the washing program within the time difference value. The preset frequency threshold can be a frequency threshold preset by the user based on experience data, or a frequency threshold obtained by adjusting the set frequency threshold according to the needs of the user, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. For example, the preset frequency threshold can be one time, two times, three times, five times, seven times, ten times, etc. Preferably, in the embodiments of the present application, the preset frequency threshold is three times.

[0056] It should be noted that in a case where the time difference value is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, or the washing frequency is greater than or equal to the preset frequency threshold, the laundry device can also prompt the user to clean the filter to remind the user to clean the filter.

[0057] In some embodiments, the washing parameter further includes a washing duration, and the determining whether the filter needs to be cleaned based on the time difference value and the washing parameter includes: in a case where the time difference value is less than a preset time threshold and the washing frequency is less than a preset frequency threshold, if the washing duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration threshold, prompting the user to clean the filter, wherein the washing duration is a duration of a single washing program performed by the washing device.

[0058] Specifically, in a case where the time difference value is less than the preset time threshold and the washing frequency is less than the preset frequency threshold, if the washing duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, the washing device determines that the filter needs to be cleaned, and at this time, the washing device sends a filter cleaning prompt to the user to remind the user to clean the filter; in a case where the time difference value is less than the preset time threshold and the washing frequency is less than the preset frequency threshold, if the washing duration is less than the preset duration threshold, the washing device determines that the filter does not need to be cleaned, and at this time, the washing device does not send a filter cleaning prompt to the user.

[0059] Here, the washing duration refers to the duration of a single washing program performed by the washing device. The preset duration threshold can be a duration threshold preset by the user based on experience data, or a duration threshold obtained by adjusting the preset duration threshold according to the needs of the user, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. For example, the preset duration threshold can be 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour 20 minutes, 1 hour 50 minutes, 2 hours 10 minutes, 2 hours 40 minutes, etc. Preferably, in the embodiments of the present application, the preset duration threshold is 45 minutes.

[0060] It should be noted that, in order to improve the timeliness and accuracy of the cleaning prompt, one or more of the time difference value and the washing parameter can be used, for example, the time difference value and the washing type can be used at the same time, the time difference value, the washing frequency and the washing temperature can be used at the same time, or the time difference value, the washing frequency, the washing type and the washing temperature can be used at the same time, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0061] In some embodiments, the cleaning prompt method further includes: in a case where it is determined that the filter needs to be cleaned, sending a cleaning prompt to the user, wherein the cleaning prompt includes at least one of a text prompt, a sound prompt, an icon prompt and a light prompt.

[0062] Specifically, when it is determined that the filter needs to be cleaned, the washing device can send a cleaning prompt to the user in at least one of a text prompt, a sound prompt, an icon prompt and a light prompt to remind the user to clean the filter in a timely manner, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the filter and avoiding the problems of drain pipe blockage and secondary pollution of clothes caused by long-term non-cleaning of the filter.

[0063] For example, when the cleaning reminder is a text reminder, the laundry device can push the cleaning reminder to the user by displaying the cleaning reminder on its display screen or popping up a floating window on the user interface of the terminal device, the cleaning reminder being for example "Warm reminder: please clean the filter in time!"; when the cleaning reminder is a sound reminder, the laundry device can push the cleaning reminder to the user by voice broadcasting, the cleaning reminder being for example "Please clean the filter in time", or the cleaning reminder can be a preset beep, for example, a warning sound; when the cleaning reminder is an icon reminder, the laundry device can push the cleaning reminder to the user by flashing a preset icon on its display screen; when the cleaning reminder is a light reminder, the laundry device can push the cleaning reminder to the user by flashing, the cleaning reminder being for example a light flashing in a preset color.

[0064] In some embodiments, the cleaning reminder method further comprises: after determining that the user has cleaned the filter, executing a washing program, and updating the washing parameters of the laundry device after the washing program ends.

[0065] Specifically, after determining that the user has cleaned the filter, the laundry device starts and executes a washing program to wash the laundry in the inner drum; after the washing program ends, the laundry device updates the washing parameters to ensure the accuracy of the washing parameters, thereby ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the cleaning reminder of the filter.

[0066] All the optional technical solutions described above can be combined to form optional embodiments of the present application, which will not be described here again.
