[0044] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0045] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0046] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides an exemplary embodiment of a cleaning device, its connection method, apparatus, and cleaning system provided in this disclosure.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a connection method for a cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The cleaning device includes a laundry processing device and a floor cleaning device. The method includes:

[0048] S101. Determine that the clothing processing equipment and the floor cleaning equipment are connected to the first communication gateway and obtain the preset connection relationship;

[0049] S102. Based on the connection relationship, control the clothing handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment to interconnect through the first communication gateway.

[0050] For example, a cleaning device refers to a functional device capable of producing a cleaning effect on a target, which may be an area, an object, etc.; a clothing processing device refers to a functional device capable of processing clothing, the processing method of which may be washing, drying, ironing, etc., and the clothing processing device may be a washing machine; a floor cleaning device refers to a functional device capable of cleaning the floor, and the floor cleaning device may be a sweeping machine; a first communication gateway may act as a network interface to provide bridging for other devices, enabling other devices to interconnect based on the communication gateway; in some possible implementations, the first communication gateway may be a Bluetooth gateway.

[0051] The executing entity of this method can be the first communication gateway. In some possible implementations, the executing entity can also be a host computer connected to and controlling the first communication gateway. A connection relationship refers to the connection between at least two objects. The connection relationship information may also include verification information of the two objects that need to be interconnected, such as identity information. After determining that the laundry handling device and the floor cleaning device are connected to the first communication gateway, a preset connection relationship can be obtained. For example, taking a washing machine and a sweeper as an example, the connection relationship can be obtained after the washing machine and the sweeper are connected to the first communication gateway. Obviously, the washing machine and the sweeper cannot maintain a connection with the first communication gateway for a long time. Instead, the connection with the first communication gateway will be disconnected when the washing machine and / or the sweeper is powered off, enters standby mode, or disconnects based on a disconnection command. When the washing machine and / or the sweeper is disconnected from the first communication gateway, the washing machine and the sweeper cannot re-establish an interconnection relationship through the first communication gateway. The execution timing of the method provided in this embodiment is before the floor cleaning device and the laundry handling device establish an interconnection relationship through the first communication gateway. After obtaining the preset connection relationship, the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device can be interconnected through the first communication gateway based on the connection relationship. After the interconnection relationship is formed, the floor cleaning device and the clothing handling device actually form a signal communication relationship with the first communication gateway as the bridge. The clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device can transmit signals to each other. For example, when the clothing handling device needs to send certain prompt information, it can send the prompt information to the floor cleaning device, which will then issue the prompt.

[0052] Taking a specific scenario as an example, a household may have a washing machine, a robot vacuum cleaner, and a first communication gateway, with at least one of the washing machine and the robot vacuum cleaner being disconnected from the first communication gateway. At a certain moment, the user turns on the robot vacuum cleaner and / or the washing machine. At this time, both the robot vacuum cleaner and the washing machine are connected to the first communication gateway. It can be determined that both the robot vacuum cleaner and the washing machine are connected to the first communication gateway, and based on the preset connection relationship, it can be determined that the robot vacuum cleaner and the washing machine need to be interconnected through the first communication gateway. Therefore, it is possible to control the robot vacuum cleaner and the washing machine to be interconnected through the first communication gateway.

[0053] Thus, based on the above method, this disclosure can realize the interconnection of the clothing processing equipment and the floor cleaning equipment through the first communication gateway based on the preset connection relationship; thereby, the clothing processing equipment and the floor cleaning equipment can exchange information, realize the collaborative work between the clothing processing equipment and the floor cleaning equipment, and improve convenience.

[0054] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of another method for connecting a cleaning device provided in this disclosure. In some embodiments, before S101, the method further includes:

[0055] S201. Obtain the first signal from the clothing processing device, the second signal from the floor cleaning device, and the third signal from the first communication gateway;

[0056] S202. Obtain first identity information corresponding to the clothing processing equipment based on the first signal, obtain second identity information corresponding to the ground cleaning equipment based on the second signal, and obtain third identity information corresponding to the first communication gateway based on the third signal.

[0057] S203. In response to the operation command transmitted by the terminal device, the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device are controlled to pair up through the first communication gateway based on the first identity information, the second identity information and the third identity information, establish a connection relationship and save it.

[0058] Continue to refer to the above. Figure 1 In the embodiments described above, a preset connection relationship needs to be obtained before the clothing handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment can be interconnected through the first communication gateway. This preset connection relationship is as described above. Figure 1 The method described herein forms the foundation for automatically interconnecting garment handling equipment and floor cleaning equipment via a first communication gateway. Therefore, in some potential implementation scenarios, it is necessary to establish this pre-defined connection.

[0059] For example, a first signal corresponding to the clothing processing device, a second signal corresponding to the floor cleaning device, and a third signal corresponding to the first communication gateway can be obtained; first identity information, second identity information, and third identity information can be obtained through the first signal, second signal, and third signal, respectively; identity information refers to information that can represent a certain device, that is, the first identity information can represent a certain device as the target clothing processing device, the second identity information can represent a certain device as the target floor cleaning device, and the third identity information can represent a certain device as the target first communication gateway. Obviously, the identity information is bound to the device one by one, rather than being general. Taking the first identity information as an example, it obviously uniquely corresponds to a certain clothing processing device, rather than referring to all clothing processing devices.

[0060] After obtaining the first, second, and third identity information, the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device can be paired through the first communication gateway based on the operation instructions transmitted by the terminal device, establishing and saving a connection relationship. That is, the above method is actually the process of the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device interconnecting for the first time through the first communication gateway. During this process, the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device have not yet established a connection relationship, so it is impossible to directly control the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device to interconnect through the first communication gateway based on a preset relationship. Instead, it is completed by the operation instructions transmitted by the terminal device. In some scenarios, this operation instruction can be issued by a person operating the terminal device. After the initial interconnection, a connection relationship can be established and saved. After the connection relationship is saved, at least one of the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device can disconnect from the first communication gateway based on a standby state or a disconnection command. After both the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device reconnect to the first communication gateway, the above steps S101-S102 can be executed to complete the automatic interconnection process.

[0061] The above method can establish a connection between floor cleaning equipment and clothing processing equipment, and based on this connection, the floor cleaning equipment and clothing processing equipment can be automatically interconnected.

[0062] Based on the above Figure 2 In some embodiments, the connection relationship may include connection information between the garment processing device and the floor cleaning device, and the connection information includes first identity information and second identity information.

[0063] The above solution allows for precise interconnection between a garment processing device and a floor cleaning device.

[0064] Figure 3This is a schematic flowchart of another method for connecting a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, step S102 may include:

[0065] S301. Determine that the first actual identity information of the clothing processing equipment is consistent with the first identity information, and that the second actual identity information of the floor cleaning equipment is consistent with the second identity information;

[0066] S302, The control of the garment handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment is interconnected through the first communication gateway.

[0067] For example, the first and second actual identity information refer to the actual identity information of a device connected to the first communication gateway; that is, there can be many devices connected to the first communication gateway at the same time, but there are only two sets of first and second identity information corresponding to the connection relationship. For instance, suppose devices A, B, C, D, E, and F are connected to the first communication gateway at the same time, and each device has one set of identity information; however, for a given connection relationship, there are only two sets of first and second identity information, so it is necessary to verify the identities of A, B, C, D, E, and F based on the connection relationship. If the first and second identity information in the system determine that A and B are devices that need to be interconnected, then A and B can be controlled to interconnect. In another possible scenario, suppose that devices G and H are connected to the first communication gateway at the same time. G and H each have an identity information. However, if the first and second identity information in the connection relationship are inconsistent with the actual identity information corresponding to G and H, or if one of the identity information is inconsistent, then it means that G and H are not devices that need to be interconnected, and therefore they will not interconnect. Conversely, if the actual identity information corresponding to G and H matches the first and second identity information, then G and H can be controlled to interconnect.

[0068] Using the above method, the interconnection between devices can be accurately controlled based on the identity information and connection relationship of each device, preventing errors in the interconnection relationship.

[0069] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of another method for connecting a cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the method may further include:

[0070] S401. Determine that the clothing processing equipment is connected to the first communication gateway and the floor cleaning equipment is connected to the second communication gateway.

[0071] S402. Based on the connection relationship, it is determined that the clothing handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment need to be interconnected through the first communication gateway and the second communication gateway.

[0072] S403, control the interconnection of the first communication gateway and the second communication gateway;

[0073] S404. The control of the garment handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment is interconnected through a first communication gateway and a second communication gateway.

[0074] For example, the second communication gateway is the same as the first communication gateway, and can also serve as a network interface to bridge other devices, enabling them to interconnect based on the communication gateway; in some possible implementations, the second communication gateway can also be a Bluetooth gateway. In some scenarios, the connection range of the first communication gateway is limited; for example, the first communication gateway may be able to connect to devices within a 5-meter radius of it. If the distance exceeds 5 meters, the device cannot effectively connect to the first communication gateway. In this case, if the laundry handling device and the floor cleaning device are still interconnected through the first communication gateway, it may result in the laundry handling device and the floor cleaning device being unable to communicate.

[0075] Based on the above problems, this disclosure provides another solution, namely, that a bridge can be formed by a first communication gateway and a second communication gateway to enable the clothing handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment to be interconnected.

[0076] Specifically, the first communication gateway and the second communication gateway can be set in different locations. For example, the first communication gateway can be set in the bedroom and the second communication gateway can be set in the living room. The effective connection range of the first communication gateway is the bedroom and the bathroom, and the effective connection range of the second communication gateway is the living room. This means that the first communication gateway cannot connect to the device in the living room, and the second communication gateway cannot connect to the device in the bedroom and the bathroom.

[0077] Assuming the laundry processing device is located in the bathroom, it can only connect to the first communication gateway, and in practice, it won't move around freely. However, the floor cleaning device, due to its operational characteristics, can certainly move around. If it's located in the bedroom or bathroom, it can also connect to the first communication gateway. Through the above... Figure 1The corresponding embodiment is interconnected with the clothing handling device. If the floor cleaning device happens to be located in the living room, it obviously cannot connect to the first communication gateway, but can connect to the second communication gateway. In this case, it can be interconnected with the clothing handling device using the above method. That is, if it is determined that the clothing handling device is connected to the first communication gateway and the floor cleaning device is connected to the second communication gateway, it can be determined that the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device need to be interconnected through the first and second communication gateways based on the connection relationship between them. Then, the first and second communication gateways can be controlled to interconnect. Finally, the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device are controlled to interconnect through the interconnected first and second communication gateways. That is, through the above method, a bridging and relay relationship is formed based on the first and second communication gateways, effectively increasing the connection distance between the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device.

[0078] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart of another method for connecting a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, after S404, the method further includes:

[0079] S501. Determine that the ground cleaning equipment is disconnected from the second communication gateway and that the ground cleaning equipment is connected to the first communication gateway.

[0080] S502. Based on the connection relationship, the control garment handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment are interconnected through the first communication gateway.

[0081] Continue reading Figure 4 In a corresponding embodiment, when the floor cleaning device is located in the living room, it cannot connect to the first communication gateway. Obviously, the floor cleaning device can be moved at any time. That is, in some scenarios, the floor cleaning device may move from the living room to the bedroom during the cleaning process. At this time, the floor cleaning device can no longer connect to the second communication gateway, but connect to the first communication gateway. At this time, the above-mentioned S501-S502 can be executed. After determining that the floor cleaning device is disconnected from the second communication gateway and the floor cleaning device is connected to the first communication gateway, the connection relationship is re-established, and the clothes handling device and the floor cleaning device are controlled to interconnect through the first communication gateway to maintain the interconnection between the floor cleaning device and the clothes handling device.

[0082] Based on the above Figure 5 Corresponding embodiments and Figure 4The corresponding embodiment can be slightly extended. If a third communication gateway exists, and the floor cleaning equipment is connected to the third communication gateway, and the third communication gateway can only be connected to the second communication gateway, then the first and second communication gateways are interconnected based on the connection relationship, and the second and third communication gateways are interconnected. In fact, a bridging and relay relationship is formed between the first, second, and third communication gateways. Then, the clothing handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment can be interconnected through the interconnected first, second, and third communication gateways.

[0083] Based on the above method, after the connection between the floor cleaning equipment and one of the communication gateways is disconnected as the floor cleaning equipment moves, the connection between the floor cleaning equipment and the clothing handling equipment can be re-established, ensuring that the connection between the clothing handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment is not interrupted.

[0084] Figure 6 This is a schematic flowchart of another method for connecting a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, after S404, the method further includes:

[0085] S601. Determine that the signal strength between the ground cleaning equipment and the second communication gateway is less than or equal to the strength threshold, and the signal strength between the ground cleaning equipment and the first communication gateway is greater than the strength threshold.

[0086] S602. Based on the connection relationship, the garment handling equipment and the floor cleaning equipment are interconnected through the first communication gateway.

[0087] The signal strength between the floor cleaning equipment and the second communication gateway indicates the quality of their connection. Higher signal strength results in faster and more stable signal transmission between the two devices; conversely, lower signal strength leads to slower, more unstable, or even impossible signal transmission. When the signal strength exceeds a threshold, the connection is considered stable; when it is less than or equal to the threshold, the connection is considered unstable.

[0088] exist Figure 5In a corresponding embodiment, the control to reconnect the laundry handling device and the floor cleaning device via the first communication gateway is only restored after the floor cleaning device disconnects from the second communication gateway and reconnects to the first communication gateway. In this scenario, there are obviously times when the signal strength between the floor cleaning device and the second communication gateway is low. The signal strength largely depends on the distance between the floor cleaning device and the second communication gateway; the greater the distance, the lower the signal strength, until the signal strength is too low to maintain the connection, at which point the floor cleaning device disconnects from the second communication gateway. In another scenario, the connection ranges of the first and second communication gateways are not completely independent but partially overlap. For example, the first communication gateway might be located in the bedroom, and the second gateway in the living room, with some overlap in their signal coverage areas. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the Bluetooth signal gateway coverage area provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Circular area R1 represents the signal coverage area of ​​the first communication gateway, circular area R2 represents the signal coverage area of ​​the second communication gateway, point I represents the location of the floor cleaning device, point J represents the location of the first communication gateway, point K represents the location of the second communication gateway, and point L represents the location of the clothing processing device. Figure 7 It can be seen that in some possible scenarios, although the ground cleaning equipment is connected to the second communication gateway, it can also actually be connected to the first communication gateway. Moreover, because it is closer to the first communication gateway, the signal strength is higher after the connection is established.

[0089] In response to the above scenarios, embodiments of this disclosure propose... Figure 6 The corresponding method determines that the signal strength between the floor cleaning device and the second communication gateway is less than or equal to the strength threshold, and the signal strength between the floor cleaning device and the first communication gateway is greater than the strength threshold. Based on the connection relationship, the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device can be controlled to interconnect through the first communication gateway. That is, the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device can be controlled to prioritize the connection relationship with the higher signal strength to ensure the stability of the connection between the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device.
