Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smart home appliances, and in particular to a cleaning reminder method and device for a dishwashing device, a dishwashing device, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product. Background Art

[0002] A tableware washing device is a device that automatically washes tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, and forks. For example, the tableware washing device may include a dishwasher. The dishwasher may detect the turbidity of dishwashing water through a turbidity sensor. Specifically, the turbidity sensor emits a light source through a transmitting end. There is dishwashing water between the transmitting end and the receiving end. The receiving end receives the light source signal, and the turbidity of the dishwashing water can be obtained by the intensity of the received light source signal.

[0003] During the washing process, contaminants flushed from the dishwasher may remain on the water cup and filter, which will cause the turbidity sensor's detection value to be too high, causing the dishwasher to mistakenly judge that the washing result is unsatisfactory. Usually, in order to ensure the washing effect, the dishwasher will regularly remind the user to clean it, but the regular cleaning method is not timely and cannot remind the user in time, which reduces the user's experience of using the dishwasher. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a cleaning reminder method, device, tableware cleaning equipment, computer-readable storage medium and computer program product for tableware cleaning equipment that can improve the timeliness of equipment cleaning reminders in response to the above technical problems.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a cleaning reminder method for a dishwashing device. The method includes: obtaining a preset water inlet turbidity value for the dishwashing device and a first water inlet turbidity value of the last time water is inlet during washing; obtaining a first difference between the first water inlet turbidity value and the preset water inlet turbidity value; determining whether the dishwashing device has reached a cleaning condition based on the relationship between the first difference and a preset reminder turbidity value, wherein the preset reminder turbidity value is determined based on the preset water inlet turbidity value and a standard turbidity value; upon determining that the dishwashing device has reached a cleaning condition, outputting a prompt message, wherein the prompt message is used to remind the user to clean the dishwashing device. In this way, the user can be reminded to clean the dishwashing device during each washing process or after washing is completed, thereby improving the timeliness of the device cleaning reminder. At the same time, when the user uses the dishwashing cleaning device again, the dishwashing cleaning device will not misjudge that the washing result is not ideal, and the dishwashing cleaning device will not activate a high-level intelligent washing program due to the misjudgment that the washing result is not ideal. Since the dishwashing cleaning device activates a high-level intelligent washing program, it will result in a waste of time, water and electricity. Therefore, the present application avoids the situation where the use of the dishwashing cleaning device is time-consuming, water-consuming and electricity-consuming, reduces the use cost of the dishwashing cleaning device, and improves the user's use experience of the dishwashing cleaning device; moreover, compared with the situation where the dishwashing cleaning device activates a high-level intelligent washing program, since the dishwashing cleaning device does not start the high-level intelligent washing program, the service life of the dishwashing cleaning device is improved.

[0006] In one embodiment, before determining whether the dishwashing device has reached the cleaning condition based on the relationship between the first difference and the preset reminder turbidity value, the method further includes: obtaining a second water inlet turbidity value when the dishwashing device is first filled with water during washing; obtaining a second difference between the second water inlet turbidity value and the preset water inlet turbidity value; and determining whether the dishwashing device has reached the cleaning condition based on the relationship between the first difference and the preset reminder turbidity value, including: if the first difference is greater than the preset reminder turbidity value, and the second difference is greater than the preset reminder turbidity value, determining that the dishwashing device has reached the cleaning condition. In this way, by comparing the water inlet turbidity values during two consecutive water inflows with the preset reminder turbidity value, it is possible to determine whether the change in turbidity value is caused by flushable foreign matter, thereby avoiding misjudgment and improving the accuracy of cleaning reminders for the dishwashing device.

[0007] In one embodiment, the determination of whether the dishwashing device has reached the cleaning condition based on the relationship between the first difference and the preset reminder turbidity value includes: if the first difference is greater than the preset reminder turbidity value, determining that the dishwashing device has reached the cleaning condition. In this way, on the one hand, compared with the existing method of regularly reminding the user to clean, the efficiency of cleaning reminders for the dishwashing device can be improved by judging the results in real time; on the other hand, by determining whether to remind the user to clean the dishwashing device based on the first difference detected after each wash is completed, the degree of dirtiness of the dishwashing device can be judged, the intelligence of the dishwashing device is realized, and the user experience of the dishwashing device is improved.

[0008] In one embodiment, the preset reminder turbidity value is the product of a first preset value and a second preset value; the first preset value is the ratio of the preset inlet water turbidity value to the standard turbidity value; the second preset value is the turbidity change rate corresponding to the turbidity sensor in the dishwashing equipment.

[0009] In one embodiment, the second preset value is greater than 1.

[0010] In one embodiment, the method for obtaining the preset inlet water turbidity value includes:

[0011] responding to a debugging operation of the dishwashing device and calling a water inlet program to fill water according to the debugging operation;

[0012] During the water inlet process, a turbidity value of the water inletting the dishwashing device is obtained, and the turbidity value is used as the preset water inlet turbidity value.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present application provides a cleaning reminder device for a dishwashing device, the device comprising:

[0014] A first acquisition module is used to obtain a preset inlet turbidity value of the dishwashing device and a first inlet turbidity value of the last inlet during washing;

[0015] a second obtaining module, configured to obtain a first difference between the first inlet water turbidity value and the preset inlet water turbidity value;

[0016] a determination module, configured to determine whether the dishwashing device meets a cleaning condition based on a magnitude relationship between the first difference and a preset reminder turbidity value, wherein the preset reminder turbidity value is determined based on the preset inlet water turbidity value and a standard turbidity value;

[0017] The prompt module is used to output a prompt message when it is determined that the dishwashing washing device meets the cleaning conditions, and the prompt message is used to remind the user to clean the dishwashing washing device.

[0018] In a third aspect, the present application provides a dishwashing cleaning device, comprising:

[0021] In a fourth aspect, the present application further provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the following steps:

[0022] Obtaining a preset inlet water turbidity value of the dishwashing device and a first inlet water turbidity value of the last inlet water during washing;

[0023] Obtaining a first difference between the first inlet water turbidity value and the preset inlet water turbidity value;

[0024] determining whether the dishwashing device meets the cleaning condition based on a relationship between the first difference and a preset reminder turbidity value, wherein the preset reminder turbidity value is determined based on the preset inlet water turbidity value and a standard turbidity value;

[0025] When it is determined that the dishwashing device meets the cleaning condition, a prompt message is output, where the prompt message is used to remind the user to clean the dishwashing device.

[0026] In a fifth aspect, the present application further provides a computer program product. The computer program product includes a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the following steps are implemented:

[0030] When it is determined that the dishwashing device meets the cleaning condition, a prompt message is output, where the prompt message is used to remind the user to clean the dishwashing device.

[0031] The above-described dishwashing device cleaning reminder method, device, dishwashing device, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product can detect the turbidity of the wash water in the dishwashing device in real time by obtaining a first inlet turbidity value of the last water entering the dishwashing device during a wash. By obtaining a first difference between the first inlet turbidity value and the preset inlet turbidity value, when the dishwashing device is determined to have reached a cleaning condition based on the relationship between the first difference and the preset reminder turbidity value, a reminder message can be output to remind the user to clean the dishwashing device during each wash or after the wash is completed, thereby improving the timeliness of the device cleaning reminder. Furthermore, when the user uses the dishwashing device again, the dishwashing device will not mistakenly determine that the washing result is unsatisfactory. Thus, the dishwashing device will not activate a high-level smart wash program due to a mistaken determination of an unsatisfactory washing result, which would waste time, water, and electricity. Therefore, the present application avoids the time, water, and electricity waste associated with using the dishwashing device, reduces the cost of using the dishwashing device, and improves the user experience of the dishwashing device.

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0039] The cleaning reminder method for a dishwashing device provided in an embodiment of the present application can be applied to a dishwashing device, which includes a controller for controlling the dishwashing device to execute a corresponding washing program.

[0040] The dishwashing equipment may include a dishwasher, etc. Taking the dishwashing equipment as an example, the cleaning reminder method for the dishwashing equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the following examples: Figure 1 In the application environment shown, the dishwasher 100 includes a turbidity sensor 102 , a water cup 104 , a cup 106 , and a filter. The filter includes a flat filter 108 and a microfilter 110 . The turbidity sensor 102 is disposed in the water cup 104 .

[0041] Turbidity sensor 102 is used to detect the turbidity of dishwashing water in the dishwasher. Specifically, turbidity sensor 102 includes a transmitter and a receiver. During washing, the dishwashing water flows between the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitter transmits a detection light to the receiver, which then passes through the dishwashing water and is received by the receiver. Because the turbidity of the dishwashing water corresponds to the intensity of the detection light received by the receiver, the turbidity of the dishwashing water can be determined based on the intensity of the received detection light. In this application, the turbidity sensor is used to obtain a preset inlet turbidity value for the dishwashing device and a first inlet turbidity value during the final wash.

[0042] Among them, the water cup 104 is embedded with the handle cup 106, which is used to collect residue; the flat filter 108 is used to filter granular residue and food in the circulating water; the microfilter 110 is used to ensure that during washing, dirt and residue remain here and do not enter the circulating water, preventing the tableware from being contaminated again.

[0043] The dishwasher may also include a controller (not shown in the figure), which is used to obtain a first difference between a first inlet water turbidity value and a preset inlet water turbidity value; and determine whether the dishwashing cleaning device meets the cleaning conditions based on the size relationship between the first difference and the preset reminder turbidity value; and when it is determined that the dishwashing cleaning device meets the cleaning conditions, output a prompt message, which is used to remind the user to clean at least one of the filter, water cup or turbidity sensor.

[0044] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a cleaning reminder method for a dishwashing device is provided, which is described by taking the method applied to a controller in the dishwashing device as an example, and includes the following steps:

[0045] S202: Obtain a preset inlet water turbidity value of the dishwashing device and a first inlet water turbidity value of the last inlet water during washing.

[0046] In this embodiment, the preset inlet water turbidity value and the first inlet water turbidity value can be detected by the turbidity sensor in the dishwashing washing device; the preset inlet water turbidity value is the turbidity value corresponding to the actual water quality of the user; the first inlet water turbidity value is the turbidity value of the water quality when the dishwashing washing device last inlets water when executing the washing program.

[0047] Exemplarily, the washing program of the dishwashing device may include, but is not limited to, a heated rinse phase, a heated main wash phase, a rinse phase, and a drying and sterilization phase. In the heated rinse phase, the dishwashing device rinses the dishes with hot water to remove residue from the dishes; in the heated main wash phase, the dishwashing device may add dishwashing powder / dishwashing liquid and hot water before washing, and then use the hot water mixed with the dishwashing powder / dishwashing liquid to wash the dishes; in the rinse phase, the dishwashing device may rinse the dishes after the heated main wash phase with room temperature water; in the drying and sterilization phase, the dishwashing device may dry the dishes after the rinse phase and sterilize the dishes with ultraviolet light. In this embodiment, the dishwashing device may obtain a first influent turbidity value at the last water inflow during the rinse phase (the rinse phase is the last water inflow in the washing program). Specifically, if the rinse phase is performed only once, then this water inflow is the last water inflow; if the rinse phase is performed multiple times, then the last water inflow is determined among the multiple water inflows, and the turbidity value of the last water inflow is obtained as the first influent turbidity value.

[0048] It can be understood that the specific content of the tableware washing stage of the tableware washing device can be set according to the actual application scenario, and this embodiment does not make any specific limitation.

[0049] S204: Obtain a first difference between the first inlet water turbidity value and a preset inlet water turbidity value.

[0050] S206: Determine whether the dishwashing device meets the cleaning condition based on the first difference and the preset warning turbidity value.

[0051] Among them, the preset reminder turbidity value is used to indicate the preset turbidity value corresponding to the reminder of the dishwashing equipment. The preset reminder turbidity value is determined based on the preset inlet water turbidity value and the standard turbidity value. The standard turbidity value is the turbidity value obtained by the turbidity sensor in the dishwashing equipment when detecting the soft water quality when leaving the factory. The soft water hardness used in the detection is different, and the corresponding standard turbidity value is also different.

[0052] The cleaning conditions refer to the conditions for cleaning the dishwashing device to ensure that foreign matter does not adhere to the water cup and the filter in the dishwashing device, and / or that scale does not form on the turbidity sensor.

[0053] S208: When it is determined that the dishwashing device meets the cleaning conditions, a prompt message is output, where the prompt message is used to remind the user to clean the dishwashing device.

[0054] Among them, based on the prompt information, the user can check the water cup, filter and turbidity sensor, and if there is foreign matter adhesion or scale, it can be cleaned in time; in this embodiment, the controller can remind the user to clean the dishwashing equipment in but not limited to the following three ways. The first way is: outputting prompt information through the display screen of the dishwashing equipment to remind the user to clean the dishwashing equipment. The second way is: the reminder can be made through the prompt light of the dishwashing equipment, for example, the prompt light can be always on or flashing. The third way can be: the controller can transmit the prompt information to the application corresponding to the dishwashing equipment, so that the user can see the prompt information for cleaning the dishwashing equipment when opening the application. Among them, based on the application corresponding to the dishwashing equipment, the user can also realize intelligent control of the dishwashing equipment.

[0055] In summary, through Figure 2 The method shown can detect the turbidity of the wash water in the dishwashing device in real time by obtaining a first inlet turbidity value when the dishwashing device is last inlet during a wash. By obtaining a first difference between the first inlet turbidity value and a preset inlet turbidity value, when the dishwashing device is determined to have reached a cleaning condition based on the relationship between the first difference and the preset reminder turbidity value, a prompt message can be output to remind the user to clean the dishwashing device during each wash cycle or after the wash is completed, thereby improving the timeliness of the device cleaning reminder. Furthermore, when the user uses the dishwashing device again, the dishwashing device will not mistakenly determine that the washing result is unsatisfactory. Thus, the dishwashing device will not activate a high-level smart wash program due to a mistaken determination of an unsatisfactory washing result, which would waste time, water, and electricity. Therefore, the present application avoids the time-consuming, water-consuming, and electricity-consuming use of the dishwashing device, reduces the cost of using the dishwashing device, and improves the user experience of the dishwashing device.

[0056] In one embodiment, determining whether the dishwashing device has reached a cleaning condition is performed based on the relationship between the first difference and a preset reminder turbidity value, including: if the first difference is greater than the preset reminder turbidity value, determining that the dishwashing device has reached a cleaning condition. By judging the first water inlet turbidity value of the last time the dishwashing device washes, determining whether to remind the user to clean the dishwashing device, on the one hand, compared to the prior art method of regularly reminding the user to clean, the real-time judgment result can improve the efficiency of cleaning reminders for the dishwashing device; on the other hand, by determining whether to remind the user to clean the dishwashing device based on the first difference value detected after each wash is completed, the degree of dirtiness of the dishwashing device can be judged, the intelligence of the dishwashing device is realized, and the user experience of the dishwashing device is improved.

[0057] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a flow chart of determining whether a dishwashing device has reached a cleaning condition based on the magnitude relationship between the first difference and the preset reminder turbidity value is provided. This method is described by taking the controller in the dishwashing device as an example, and includes the following steps:

[0058] S302: Obtain a second turbidity value of water entering the dishwashing device for the first time during washing.

[0059] The second inlet water turbidity value may be detected by a turbidity sensor in the dishwashing device, and the second inlet water turbidity value is the turbidity value of the water quality when the dishwashing device first enters the water when performing a washing program.

[0060] Exemplarily, the washing program of the dishwashing device may include, but is not limited to, a heated rinse phase, a heated main wash phase, a rinse phase, and a drying and sterilization phase. In the heated rinse phase, the dishwashing device rinses the dishes with hot water to remove residue from the dishes; in the heated main wash phase, the dishwashing device may add dishwashing powder / dishwashing liquid and hot water before washing, and then use the hot water mixed with the dishwashing powder / dishwashing liquid to wash the dishes; in the rinse phase, the dishwashing device may rinse the dishes after the heated main wash phase with room temperature water; in the drying and sterilization phase, the dishwashing device may dry the dishes after the rinse phase and sterilize the dishes with ultraviolet light. In this embodiment, the dishwashing device may obtain the second influent turbidity value during the first water intake during the heated rinse phase (the heated rinse phase is the first water intake phase in the washing program). Specifically, if the heated rinse phase is performed only once, then this water intake is the first water intake. If the heated rinse phase is performed multiple times, then the first water intake is determined among the multiple water intakes, and the turbidity value of the first water intake is then obtained as the second influent turbidity value.

[0061] It can be understood that the specific content of the tableware washing stage of the tableware washing device can be set according to the actual application scenario, and this embodiment does not make any specific limitation.

[0062] S304: Obtain a second difference between the second inlet water turbidity value and the preset inlet water turbidity value.

[0063] S306: If the first difference is greater than the preset warning turbidity value and the second difference is greater than the preset warning turbidity value, it is determined that the dishwashing device meets the cleaning condition.

[0064] It can be understood that if, during the first water inlet of the dishwashing device during washing, it is determined that the first difference between the first inlet water turbidity value and the preset inlet water turbidity value is greater than the preset warning turbidity value, it indicates that there is a possibility of foreign matter on the water cup and the filter at this time, and / or there is a possibility of scale on the turbidity sensor; if it is subsequently determined that the second difference between the second inlet water turbidity value and the preset inlet water turbidity value is still greater than the preset warning turbidity value, it can be determined that there is foreign matter on the water cup and the filter, and / or there is scale on the turbidity sensor.

[0065] In summary, according to Figure 3 The method shown can determine whether the change in turbidity value is caused by flushable foreign matter by comparing the inlet turbidity value at two successive water inflows with the preset reminder turbidity value, thereby avoiding misjudgment and improving the accuracy of cleaning reminders for the dishwashing washing device; therefore, when the judgment results of both times are that the difference between the inlet turbidity value and the preset inlet turbidity value is greater than the preset reminder turbidity value, it can be determined that the change in turbidity value is not caused by flushable foreign matter, but is a change in turbidity value affected by foreign matter on the water cup and the filter, and / or a change in turbidity value affected by scale on the turbidity sensor. Therefore, by outputting a reminder message, the user can be reminded to clean the dishwashing washing device during or after washing, thereby improving the timeliness of the equipment cleaning reminder. At the same time, when the user uses the dishwashing cleaning device again, the dishwashing cleaning device will not misjudge that the washing result is not ideal. In this way, the dishwashing cleaning device will not activate a high-level intelligent washing program due to misjudging that the washing result is not ideal. Since the dishwashing cleaning device activates a high-level intelligent washing program, it will result in a waste of time, water and electricity. Therefore, this application avoids the time-consuming, water-consuming and electricity-consuming situation when using the dishwashing cleaning device, reduces the use cost of the dishwashing cleaning device, and improves the user's experience of the dishwashing cleaning device.

[0066] In one embodiment, the preset reminder turbidity value is the ratio of a preset inlet water turbidity value to a standard turbidity value. For example, M1 is the preset inlet water turbidity value (i.e., the turbidity value of the water quality actually used by the user), and M is the standard turbidity value (i.e., the turbidity value obtained by testing the soft water quality of the dishwashing device at the factory). Then, the preset reminder turbidity value = (M1 / M). If the water quality used by the user is poor, the preset reminder turbidity value is higher; if the water quality used by the user is good, the preset reminder turbidity value is lower. In this way, when the dishwashing device is used, the accuracy of the determination result can be improved when determining whether to issue a cleaning reminder based on the turbidity value of the water quality actually used by the user.

[0067] In one embodiment, the preset reminder turbidity value is the product of a first preset value and a second preset value; the first preset value is the ratio of the preset inlet water turbidity value to the standard turbidity value; the second preset value is the turbidity change rate corresponding to the turbidity sensor in the dishwashing device. For example, if M1 is the preset inlet water turbidity value, M is the standard turbidity value, and A is the second preset value, then the preset reminder turbidity value = (M1 / M) × A. Depending on the manufacturer of the turbidity sensor in the dishwashing device, the corresponding turbidity change rate (i.e., the second preset value) may also vary. In this embodiment, the second preset value is greater than 1.

[0068] It can be understood that the purpose of setting the preset reminder turbidity value is to set the allowable turbidity deviation based on the actual water quality used by the user to avoid misjudgment; for example, if the water quality used by the user is poor, the first preset value is larger, and when the second preset value is greater than 1, the allowable deviation is also larger, which can prevent large fluctuations in detection when the water quality is poor, resulting in false alarm reminders or frequent reminders; if the water quality used by the user is good, the first preset value is smaller, and when the second preset value is greater than 1, the allowable deviation is also larger, which can prevent large fluctuations in detection when the water quality is good, resulting in false alarm reminders or frequent reminders.

[0069] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a flow chart of obtaining a preset inlet water turbidity value of a dishwashing device is provided. The method is described by taking the controller of the dishwashing device as an example, including the following steps:

[0070] S402, responding to the debugging operation of the dishwashing washing device, and calling the water supply program to supply water according to the debugging operation.

[0071] In this embodiment, when the dishwashing device is installed and powered on, in response to a user's commissioning operation on the dishwashing device, the controller may invoke a water filling program to fill the device with water according to the commissioning operation. When the controller invokes the water filling program to fill the device with water, the first-use flag of the dishwashing device is in an on state. The first-use flag also includes an off state. During normal use of the dishwashing device, the first-use flag is in an off state.

[0072] S404: Acquire the turbidity value of the water entering the dishwashing device during the water inlet process, and use the turbidity value as a preset water inlet turbidity value.

[0073] In this embodiment, the controller can obtain the turbidity value of the dishwashing washing device when the water enters the water supply process through the turbidity sensor, and determine the turbidity value as the preset water inlet turbidity value; wherein, when the preset water inlet turbidity value is obtained, the controller turns off the first use flag.

[0074] It can be understood that during the debugging process of the tableware washing device, the tableware washing device does not wash the tableware. Therefore, when the controller calls the water inlet program to let water in according to the debugging operation, if the water inlet program is only executed once, the turbidity value detected during the water inlet is determined as the preset water inlet turbidity value; if the water inlet program is executed multiple times, the turbidity value detected during one of the water inlets can be determined as the preset water inlet turbidity value, or the average of multiple turbidity values detected during multiple water inlets can be determined as the preset water inlet turbidity value.

[0075] In some embodiments, in response to the debugging operation of the dishwashing washing device, the controller can also call the washing program according to the debugging operation, and the washing program includes a water inlet program to intake water according to the water inlet program, and obtain the turbidity value of the water intake of the dishwashing washing device through the turbidity sensor during the water intake process, and use the turbidity value as the preset water intake turbidity value.

[0076] It should be noted that when changing the water quality of the washing water in the dishwashing washing equipment, for example, when the user moves, the dishwashing washing equipment should be reinstalled and powered on, and after confirming that the water cup and filter are clean (such as no sticky foreign matter) and the turbidity sensor is clean (such as no scale), the corresponding preset inlet water turbidity value can be obtained again in response to the debugging operation of the dishwashing washing equipment.

[0077] In combination with the above, in one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, a cleaning reminder method for a dishwashing device is provided. The method is described by taking the application of the method to a controller in the dishwashing device as an example, wherein M represents a standard turbidity value, M1 represents a preset inlet water turbidity value, M2 represents a second inlet water turbidity value when the dishwashing device is first inlet during washing, and M3 represents a first inlet water turbidity value when the dishwashing device is last inlet during washing. The preset reminder turbidity value = (M1 / M) × A. Specifically, the method may include the following steps:

[0078] S502, responding to the debugging operation of the dishwashing washing device, and calling the water inlet program to fill water according to the debugging operation.

[0079] S504 , obtaining the turbidity value of the water entering the dishwashing device during the water inlet process, and using the turbidity value as a preset water inlet turbidity value M1 .

[0080] S506 , determining the product of the first preset value and the second preset value as the preset warning turbidity value, where the first preset value is the ratio of the preset inlet water turbidity value M1 to the standard turbidity value M, and the second preset turbidity value is A.

[0081] S508: Obtain a second inlet water turbidity value M2 when the dishwashing device firstly inflows water during washing.

[0082] S510, whether M2-M1 is greater than (M1 / M)×A.

[0083] When it is determined that M2-M1 is less than or equal to (M1 / M)×A, S512 is executed; when it is determined that M2-M1 is greater than (M1 / M)×A, S514 is executed.
