[0026] According to an aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an interactive method of a smart home device is provided. The interactive method of the smart home device is widely applied to a Smart Home, a smart home, a smart home device ecosystem, an Intelligence House ecosystem, and other whole-house intelligent digital control application scenarios. Optionally, in the present embodiment, the interactive method of the smart home device can be applied to a hardware environment composed of a terminal device 102 and a server 104 as shown in Figure 1 Figure 1 ​As shown, the server 104 is connected with the terminal device 102 through a network, and can be used to provide services (such as application services, etc.) for the terminal or the client installed on the terminal, a database can be set on the server or independently of the server, used to provide data storage services for the server 104, and a cloud computing and / or edge computing service can be configured on the server or independently of the server, used to provide data operation services for the server 104.

[0027] The network can include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a wired network, a wireless network. The wired network can include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a wide area network, a metropolitan area network, a local area network. The wireless network can include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: WIFI (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth. The terminal device 102 can include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: a PC, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart air conditioner, a smart oven, a smart refrigerator, a smart oven, a smart oven, a smart washing machine, a smart water heater, a smart washing device, a smart dishwasher, a smart projection device, a smart television, a smart clothesline, a smart curtain, a smart audio and video, a smart socket, a smart sound, a smart sound box, a smart fresh air device, a smart kitchen and bathroom device, a smart bathroom device, a smart sweeping robot, a smart window cleaning robot, a smart mopping robot, a smart air purification device, a smart steamer, a smart microwave oven, a smart kitchen, a smart purifier, a smart water dispenser, a smart door lock, etc.

[0028] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the smart clothesline comprises a sliding track and a clothesline rod, and a driving assembly. The clothesline rod is arranged on the sliding track, and the driving assembly can control the clothesline rod to slide along the sliding track. At the same time, the clothesline rod can also be controlled to rise and fall up and down to adjust the height of the clothesline rod.

[0029] In some embodiments, the sliding track comprises two parallel first and second sliding tracks. Similarly, the clothesline rod comprises a first clothesline rod arranged on the first sliding track and a second clothesline rod arranged on the second sliding track. The first sliding track is close to the window side, and the second sliding track is close to the indoor side.

[0030] In combination Figure 2 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method for a smart clothesline, comprising:

[0031] S101, in the case of existence of clothes drying demand, the processor acquires clothes drying mode and user's home information.

[0032] S102, the processor determines the target position of the clothesline rod according to the clothes drying mode and the user's home information.

[0033] S103, the processor controls the clothesline rod to move to the target position.

[0034] When the user has a clothes drying demand, that is, when it is detected that clothes are hung on the smart clothes drying rack, the clothes drying mode is obtained. The clothes drying mode can be a clothes drying mode set by the user through the terminal device, or a clothes drying mode set through the operation panel of the clothes drying rack. The clothes drying mode can also be autonomously set by the processor according to historical data. The clothes drying mode can even be a default clothes drying mode stored in the processor. The clothes drying mode includes multiple modes, for example, a sunlight clothes drying mode, in which sunlight is fully utilized to dry clothes. For another example, a light-avoiding clothes drying mode, in which sunlight is avoided as much as possible to avoid problems such as discoloration of clothes caused by sunlight exposure.

[0035] In addition, when the clothes drying mode set by the user is obtained, the home information of the user is also obtained. The home information of the user refers to whether the user is at home during the clothes drying period under the current clothes drying demand. As an example, historical home information of the user can be obtained to determine whether the user is at home. Alternatively, location information of the user can be obtained to determine whether the user is at home. Understandably, when the user is at home, the clothes drying will inevitably block the indoor light. If the user is at home and has a clear requirement for light, the clothes drying position of the clothes drying rod needs to consider not only the requirement of the clothes drying mode, but also the light requirement of the user. That is, the target position of the clothes drying rod is determined by comprehensively considering the clothes drying mode and the light requirement of the user. Here, the target position is a range value, and can also be an accurate value.

[0036] Then, after the target position of the clothes drying rod is determined, the clothes drying rod is controlled to move to the target position. Here, the target position includes the position of the clothes drying rod on the sliding rail, and also includes the height of the clothes drying rod from the ground. Specifically, when clothes are dried in the morning, light enters the room from the east. At this time, the position of the clothes drying rod should be biased to the middle or west of the sliding rail. When clothes are dried in summer in the north, the light irradiation position is relatively high. At this time, the position of the clothes drying rod should be far from the ceiling and close to the ground. In this way, the sunlight irradiation area of the clothes is increased, so that the natural resources are maximally utilized.

[0037] By using the control method for the smart clothes drying rack provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the user has a clothes drying demand, the target position of the clothes drying rod is determined according to the clothes drying mode set by the user and the home information of the user, and then the clothes drying rod is controlled to dry clothes at the target position. In this way, the position of the clothes drying rod is reasonably set in combination with the clothes drying demand of the user and the light requirement of the user when at home. In this way, the clothes are dried by fully utilizing the natural resources, and the demand of the user is also met.

[0038] Optionally, in step S102, the processor determines the target position of the clothes drying rod according to the clothes drying mode and the home information of the user, including:

[0039] In a case where the home information indicates that the user is at home, the processor determines the target position of the clothes drying rod according to the clothes drying mode and the light demand of the user.

[0040] In a case where the home information indicates that the user is not at home, the processor determines the target position of the clothes drying rod according to the clothes drying mode.

[0041] Here, considering that the clothes drying of the user at home will affect the lighting of the user to a certain extent, especially in a case where the user has a demand for indoor light. Therefore, in a case where the home information indicates that the user is at home, the target position of the clothes drying rod is determined based on the clothes drying mode and the light demand of the user. The light demand of the user refers to the demand that the clothes drying does not block sunlight. As an example, in a case where the clothes drying mode and the light demand of the user conflict, the light demand of the user is prioritized, and then the clothes drying mode is satisfied. For example, the clothes drying mode is the sunlight clothes drying mode; the blocking area (the area where the clothes drying blocks indoor light) is determined based on the light demand of the user. Then, the area outside the blocking area is used as the target position area range of the clothes drying rack. Then, the target position is determined in the target position area range based on the clothes drying mode. As another example, the clothes drying rod is located in the area on both sides of the balcony, which has the least impact on indoor light. Therefore, the area on both ends of the sliding rail is used as the target position area range of the clothes drying rack. Then, the target position that satisfies the clothes drying mode is determined in the target position area range based on the clothes drying mode.

[0042] In a case where the home information indicates that the user is not at home, at this time, whether the clothes drying affects indoor light is no longer concerned by the user. In this case, the target position of the clothes drying rod is determined based on the clothes drying mode. For example, the clothes drying mode is the sunlight clothes drying mode, and the position with the largest light area is used as the target position of the clothes drying rod.

[0043] In combination Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another control method for the smart clothes drying rack, which comprises the following steps:

[0044] S101, in a case where there is a clothes drying demand, the processor acquires the clothes drying mode and the home information of the user.

[0045] S1211, in a case where the home information indicates that the user is at home, the processor determines the target range of the clothes drying rod according to the light demand of the user.

[0046] S1212, the processor determines the target position of the clothes drying rod in the target range according to the clothes drying mode.

[0047] S122, in a case where the home information indicates that the user is not at home, the processor determines the target position of the clothes drying rod according to the clothes drying mode.

[0048] S103, the processor controls the motion of the clothes rail to the target position.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the user is at home, the target range of the clothes rail is determined according to the light demand of the user. The target range refers to the active range of the clothes rail allowed when the light demand of the user is not affected. Specifically, the non-illumination area can be determined based on the current sunlight irradiation angle. Then, the non-illumination area is taken as the target range of the clothes rail activity. Then, the target position meeting the clothes drying demand is determined in the target range based on the clothes drying mode. In some embodiments, an arched door is provided between the balcony and the indoor. The illumination area of the arched door can be determined based on the current sunlight irradiation angle. Then, the clothes rail activity area outside the illumination area is taken as the target range.

[0050] Optionally, the non-illumination area is periodically updated to update the target range of the clothes rail. It can be understood that, as the sunlight irradiation angle changes, the illumination area also changes. In order to better meet the clothes drying demand and meet the user's light demand in real time, the target range is periodically updated, such as being updated once every 2-4 hours. In this way, the indoor light can be ensured in real time.

[0051] Optionally, in step S121, the processor determines the target range of the clothes rail according to the light demand of the user, including:

[0052] The processor takes the position outside the sliding rail range corresponding to the indoor sunlight irradiation position as the target range of the clothes rail.

[0053] Here, as shown in the foregoing, the position area not irradiated by the sunlight is taken as the target range of the clothes rail. Specifically, the corresponding sliding rail range is determined according to the space where the sunlight irradiation area is located. The position area outside the range is taken as the target range of the clothes rail. In some embodiments, the entire range of the sliding rail is within the sunlight irradiation range. Then, the position range of the preset length at both ends of the sliding rail is taken as the target range of the clothes rail. In some areas with sufficient sunlight or good light conditions, the entire balcony for drying clothes is covered by sunlight. At this time, the preset length area at both ends of the sliding rail is taken as the target area. In this way, the clothes rail is located at the edge of the balcony and the indoor passage, and has less influence on the indoor light.

[0054] Optionally, the clothes drying mode includes a sunlight clothes drying mode, and in step S122, the processor determines the target position of the clothes rail according to the clothes drying mode, including:

[0055] The detection element detects the irradiation information of the sunlight.

[0056] The processor calculates the position of the clothes rail with the maximum clothes illumination area according to the irradiation information and the clothes information, and takes the position as the target position of the clothes rail.

[0057] Here, the sunlight drying mode refers to finding the position with the largest light area in the drying area range for drying clothes. The sunlight irradiation information includes the sunlight irradiation angle and the irradiation area of the clothes. The clothes information includes the size of the clothes and the height of the clothes. Based on the irradiation information and the clothes information, the maximum light area under the current sunlight irradiation angle can be calculated. Then, based on the maximum light area, the position of the drying rod is determined, which includes the position of the drying rod on the sliding rail and the height of the drying rod from the ground. Among them, the maximum light area refers to the total light area of all the clothes dried on the drying rod being the largest. In addition, due to the difference in the size of the clothes, the longest size of the adult clothes is taken as the reference for calculating the maximum light area of a single piece of clothes during the calculation process. Then, multiply the number of clothes to be dried, and the maximum total light area of all clothes can be obtained. In this way, the clothes can maximize the use of solar heat to dry, and at the same time, the clothes can also be sterilized by sunlight.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that the above-mentioned manner is also applicable to step S1212. The processor determines the target position of the drying rod in the target range according to the drying mode. That is, at this time, the position corresponding to the maximum light area in the target range is taken as the target position of the drying rod. That is, in the target range without affecting the indoor light, the position of the maximum light area is taken as the target position of the drying rod.

[0059] Optionally, the processor determines a detection period according to the historical light change information. The irradiation information of the sunlight is detected at the beginning of each detection period, and the target position of the period is calculated. In this way, the target position of the drying rod can be adjusted in time according to the light condition in a day, so that the clothes can maintain the best light area all day long. As an example, the detection period is 3 hours, then after three hours from the first target position determination, a new target position is calculated according to the irradiation information of the sunlight again, and the drying rod is controlled to move to the target position.

[0060] Optionally, the processor determines the distance difference between the new target position and the last target position, and controls the drying rod to move to the target position when the relative distance is greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0061] In order to avoid frequent adjustment of the drying rod, a preset threshold is set. When the distance difference between adjacent detection periods is less than the preset threshold, it indicates that the adjustment range of the position of the drying rod is small. In this case, the current position of the drying rod can be maintained. When the distance difference is greater than or equal to the preset distance, it indicates that the adjustment range of the position of the drying rod is large. At this time, the drying rod is controlled to move to the target position. Among them, the distance difference includes the horizontal moving distance difference or the lifting distance difference, and the position of the drying rod is adjusted when any one of the distance differences in the adjacent detection periods is greater than or equal to the preset threshold.

[0062] Optionally, the drying mode includes a temperature drying mode, S122, and the processor determines the target position of the drying rod according to the drying mode, including:

[0063] The detection element detects the temperature of each position in the activity range of the drying rod.

[0064] The processor determines the position with the highest temperature as the target position of the drying rod.

[0065] Here, the temperature drying mode refers to finding the position with the highest temperature in the drying area range for drying clothes. In some scenarios, sufficient light does not mean that the temperature of the area is optimal. Higher temperature in the drying area helps to speed up the drying of clothes. Therefore, the temperature of each position in the activity range of the drying rod can be detected by a temperature sensor. For example, according to the size information of the drying rod, the drying area is divided into multiple ranges, and the temperature of each range is detected. The position corresponding to the area with the highest temperature is determined as the target position of the drying rod.

[0066] In addition, it should be noted that the above method is also applicable to step S1212, and the processor determines the target position of the drying rod in the target range according to the drying mode. That is, the position corresponding to the highest temperature in the target range is determined as the target position of the drying rod.

[0067] Optionally, before the detection element detects the temperature of each position in the activity range of the drying rod, the method further includes:

[0068] The processor obtains the running state of the air conditioner.

[0069] In the case that the air conditioner is in a running state, the processor determines a priority detection range according to the running mode of the air conditioner.

[0070] Here, the running of the air conditioner changes the indoor environment temperature, so that the temperature of the drying area is affected by the indoor environment. For example, when the air conditioner runs in a cooling mode in summer, the temperature of the area close to the indoor side is low. When the air conditioner runs in a heating mode in winter, the temperature of the area close to the indoor side is high. Therefore, the priority detection range can be determined based on the running of the air conditioner. In this way, the detection efficiency can be improved. Further, when the air conditioner runs in a cooling mode, the activity range of the drying rod away from the indoor side is determined as the priority detection range. When the air conditioner runs in a heating mode, the activity range of the drying rod close to the indoor side is determined as the priority detection range.

[0071] In combination Figure 4 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another control method for a smart drying rack, including:

[0072] S404, in the case that both the first drying rod and the second drying rod are drying clothes, the processor determines the drying mode of the second drying rod according to the drying mode of the first drying rod.

[0073] S101, the processor acquires the home information of the user.

[0074] S102, the processor determines the target position of the clothes drying rod according to the clothes drying mode and the home information of the user.

[0075] S103, the processor controls the clothes drying rod to move to the target position.

[0076] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the clothes drying rod includes a first clothes drying rod and a second clothes drying rod, and the first clothes drying rod is close to the window side. When both the first clothes drying rod and the second clothes drying rod have clothes to be dried, the first clothes drying rod close to the window side will affect the clothes drying mode of the second clothes drying rod. Therefore, in this case, the clothes drying mode of the second clothes drying rod depends on the clothes drying mode of the first clothes drying rod.

[0077] Optionally, S404, the processor determines the clothes drying mode of the second clothes drying rod according to the clothes drying mode of the first clothes drying rod, including:

[0078] In the case that the first clothes drying rod sets the clothes drying mode, the processor determines the clothes drying mode of the second clothes drying rod as the temperature clothes drying mode or the default clothes drying mode.

[0079] In the case that the first clothes drying rod does not set the clothes drying mode, the processor determines the clothes drying mode of the second clothes drying rod as the temperature clothes drying mode or the sunlight clothes drying mode.

[0080] Here, in the case that the first clothes drying rod sets the clothes drying mode, the clothes on the first clothes drying rod will inevitably affect the light of the clothes on the second clothes drying rod. At the same time, because the first clothes drying rod is close to the window, the clothes drying demand of the clothes on the first clothes drying rod generally has sunlight demand in the case of setting the clothes drying mode. At this time, the clothes drying mode of the second clothes drying rod cannot be the sunlight clothes drying mode, and can be the temperature clothes drying mode or the default clothes drying mode. The default clothes drying mode means that the clothes drying rod is in the initial setting position for clothes drying. In some embodiments, the first clothes drying rod does not set the clothes drying mode, so the first clothes drying rod can slide to the edge side of the sliding rail. At this time, the clothes on the first clothes drying rod have less influence on the light of the clothes on the second clothes drying rod. Therefore, the second clothes drying rod can select the temperature clothes drying mode or the sunlight clothes drying mode. And the clothes drying mode of the first clothes drying rod can be the default clothes drying mode.

[0081] In some embodiments, the drying mode of the first drying rod is a sunlight drying mode, and the drying mode of the second drying rod is a temperature drying mode. Then, the processor calculates a maximum light exposure area under a current sunlight exposure angle based on the irradiation information and the clothing information. Then, the processor determines a target position of the first drying rod based on the maximum light exposure area. Meanwhile, the processor detects a highest temperature in a range of movement of the second drying rod by using the temperature sensor, and determines a position corresponding to the highest temperature as the target position of the second drying rod. Optionally, when detecting the highest temperature in the range of movement of the second drying rod, the processor determines a priority detection area according to an operation mode of the air conditioner. For example, when the air conditioner is in a cooling mode, the temperature in a balcony and an indoor connecting area is relatively low, and thus the temperature in a non-connecting area is preferentially detected. When the air conditioner is in a heating mode, the temperature in the balcony and the indoor connecting area is relatively high, and thus the temperature in the connecting area is preferentially detected.

[0082] In addition, if the home information of the user indicates that the user is at home, an area that does not block indoor light is first determined. Then, a maximum light exposure area and a highest temperature area are determined in an area outside the area. Meanwhile, in this case, the manner of determining the priority detection area changes according to the operation mode of the air conditioner. This is because, generally, the balcony and the indoor connecting area should not be blocked to maximize the indoor light. The area is also an area that is easily affected by the indoor temperature. Therefore, in this case, the area close to the second sliding rail and the connecting area can be determined as the area preferentially detected in terms of temperature.

[0083] Optionally, when there is a drying demand for the first drying rod or the second drying rod, the processor determines a drying mode of the corresponding drying rod according to the drying demand of the user.

[0084] Here, when there is a drying demand for only one drying rod, the other drying rod does not affect the drying of the one drying rod. In this case, the drying mode is determined based on the drying demand of the user. For example, when the user has a sterilization demand, the sunlight drying mode is preferentially selected. When the user has a demand for preventing clothes from fading, the temperature drying mode or other light-avoiding drying mode is preferentially selected. Specifically, the drying demand of the user can be determined by collecting clothing information by using an image. For example, the clothing information is collected to obtain a clothing type and a clothing material. The drying demand of the user is determined according to the clothing type and the clothing material. For example, when the clothing type is underwear or close-fitting clothes and the clothing material is cotton, it is determined that the drying demand of the user is the sunlight drying mode. For example, when the clothing type is a dark coat and the clothing material is cotton, it is determined that the drying demand of the user is the light-avoiding drying mode.

[0085] In combination with Figure 5 As shown in the drawings, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method for a smart clothes drying rack, which comprises the following steps.

[0086] S101, when there is a drying demand, a processor acquires a drying mode and home information of a user.

[0087] In S102, the processor determines a target position of the clothes drying rod according to the clothes drying mode and the user's home information.

[0088] In S103, the processor controls the clothes drying rod to move to the target position.
