[0017] Optionally, the step of determining the remaining life information of the filter element according to the actual total water consumption and the preset total water consumption corresponding to the filter element comprises:

[0018] correcting the preset total water consumption according to a water quality parameter of water filtered by the filter element to obtain a target total water consumption;

[0019] the actual total water consumption and the target total water consumption determine the remaining life information.

[0020] Optionally, the water quality parameter comprises a water hardness and / or a content value of dissolved solids, and the step of correcting the preset total water consumption according to the water quality parameter to obtain a target total water consumption comprises:

[0024] Optionally, the single water consumption of the water operation performed at this time comprises:

[0025] obtaining a water parameter of the electric appliance during the water operation performed at this time, and when the water parameter meets a preset condition, taking the water consumption detected by the water operation performed at this time as the single water consumption;

[0026] wherein the preset condition indicates that the electric appliance is running normally.

[0027] Optionally, the preset condition comprises at least one of the following conditions:

[0028] a change value of a second water flow of a pipeline in which the filter element is located during the water operation performed at this time by the electric appliance is greater than a first preset change value;

Based on the single water consumption and water state parameters, a single corrected water consumption for that operation is determined. The actual total water consumption of the appliance is obtained by summing the single corrected water consumption of each water-using operation up to the current moment. Based on the obtained actual total water consumption and the preset total water consumption of the filter element, the remaining lifespan information of the filter element is determined. In this process, the water state parameters detected during the appliance's water-using operation accurately reflect the real-time operating conditions of the equipment during water filtration using the filter element. Therefore, the actual total water consumption determined based on the water state parameters and the corresponding single water consumption accurately reflects the actual lifespan consumption of the filter element, ensuring the accuracy of the obtained remaining lifespan information and effectively improving the accuracy of filter element lifespan monitoring in appliances.

[0044] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0045] An embodiment of the present application proposes a life monitoring device 2 for monitoring the life of an electrical appliance. In this embodiment, the life monitoring device 2 is built-in the electrical appliance. In other embodiments, the life monitoring device 2 can also be a device arranged independently of the electrical appliance. In this embodiment, the electrical appliance is a smart toilet. In other embodiments, the electrical appliance can also be a water purifier, a water dispenser or other electrical appliance having a water filtering function.

[0046] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the electrical appliance monitored by the life monitoring device 2 includes a water inlet module 11, a filter module 12, a heater 13 and a water outlet module 14 connected in sequence. The water inlet module 11 is connected with an external water supply device, such as a tap water pipe, etc. The filter module 12 is provided with a filter element for filtering the water flowing therethrough. The heater 13 is used for heating the water flowing therethrough. The water outlet module 14 can include one or more than one water outlet to meet the water demand of the electrical appliance, such as a toilet flushing water outlet, a bidet water outlet, a self-cleaning water outlet, a sterilization water outlet, etc.

[0047] Referring to Figure 2 , a detection module 3 can be arranged on the electrical appliance, and the life monitoring device 2 is connected with the detection module 3, and the detection module 3 is used for detecting the water parameters corresponding to the filter element water filtering process.

[0048] Referring to Figure 2 , the detection module 3 can include a water quality sensor 31 which can be used for detecting the water quality of the water filtered by the filter element. The water quality sensor 31 can include a TDS sensor and / or a water hardness sensor.

[0049] Referring to Figure 2The detection module 3 can include a water temperature probe 32, which can be used to detect the water temperature of the pipeline where the filter element is located. The water temperature can include the water temperature of the inlet side and / or the water temperature of the outlet side. In this embodiment, the water temperature probe 32 is arranged in the instant heater 13 and in contact with the water, and the temperature resistance value of the water collected in real time is used to determine the water temperature.

[0050] With reference to Figure 2 The detection module 3 can include a water pressure sensor 33, which can be used to detect the water pressure of the pipeline where the filter element is located. In this embodiment, the water pressure sensor 33 is arranged in the water inlet module 11 to detect the water inlet pressure of the filter element.

[0051] With reference to Figure 2 The detection module 3 can include a flow sensor 34, which can be used to detect the water flow of the pipeline where the filter element is located. In this embodiment, the flow sensor 34 is arranged in the instant heater 13 and in contact with the water, and can detect the water flow rate in real time to determine the water flow.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 2 The life monitoring device 2 includes a processor 1001, such as a CPU, and a memory 1002. The above-mentioned components are communicatively connected through a communication bus. The memory 1002 can be a high-speed RAM memory or a stable memory (non-volatile memory), such as a disk memory. The memory 1002 can also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0053] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 2 The device structure shown in the above embodiment does not constitute a limitation on the device, and can include more or fewer components than those shown, or combine certain components, or different component arrangements.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2 The memory 1002, as a computer storage medium, can include a life monitoring program. The processor 1001 can be used to call the life monitoring program stored in the memory 1002 and perform the related step operations of the life monitoring method in the following embodiments.

[0055] The embodiment of the present application also provides a life monitoring method applied to the life monitoring device for monitoring the life of the electric appliance.

[0056] With reference to Figure 3 An embodiment of the life monitoring method of the present application is provided. In this embodiment, the life monitoring method includes:

[0057] Step S10: When the electric appliance performs a water operation, the water state parameter during the execution of the water operation and the single water consumption of the execution of the water operation are obtained;

[0058] The water outlet operation is specifically triggered by the electric appliance according to a user input instruction or monitoring that a preset condition is met.

[0059] The water usage amount and the water state parameter during the execution of the water usage operation can be detected by a detection module arranged on the electric appliance. The water usage amount detected by the detection module can be directly used as the single water usage amount. When the detected water usage amount meets a preset condition, the detected water usage amount can be used as the single water usage amount. When the detected water usage amount does not meet the preset condition, the single water usage amount is determined to be 0.

[0060] The water state parameter can include any parameter of the state characteristics of the filtered water, such as water pressure, water flow, water temperature, water flow rate, etc., and can reflect the service life consumption of the filter element.

[0061] In step S20, the single corrected water usage amount of the current water usage operation is determined according to the single water usage amount and the water state parameter.

[0062] In an embodiment, the single corrected water usage amount can be obtained by correcting the single water usage amount according to the water state parameter. In another embodiment, the single corrected water usage amount can be obtained by looking up a table according to the water state parameter and the single water usage amount. In yet another embodiment, the single corrected water usage amount can be calculated by directly substituting the water state parameter and the single water usage amount into a preset formula or algorithm model.

[0063] The water state parameter can include one or more than one sub-state parameter representing the water state. When the water state parameter includes more than one sub-state parameter, the corresponding single water usage amount can be corrected according to the more than one sub-state parameter to obtain the corresponding single corrected water usage amount.

[0064] When the water state parameter includes more than one sub-state parameter, the more than one sub-state parameter can be a preset fixed parameter or a parameter determined according to the actual operation of the electric appliance. For example, the type of at least more than one sub-state parameter can be determined according to the number of water outlet operations from the initial time of the filter element to the current time and / or the type of water outlet operation. For another example, the type of at least two more than one sub-state parameters can be determined according to the model of the electric appliance.

[0065] Each of the more than once water usage operation corresponds to a single water usage amount. Each of the water usage operations of the more than once water usage operation can be of the same type or of different types. Each of the more than one single water usage amount can be the same or different, and the water state parameter detected at the corresponding time can be the same or different, which is determined according to the real-time detection data during the use of the water usage operation. Based on this, the single corrected water usage amount corresponding to each water usage operation is determined according to the corresponding single water usage amount and the water state parameter.

[0066] Step S30, obtaining a single corrected water consumption of each water operation of the electric appliance and accumulating to obtain an actual total water consumption;

[0067] Before the filter core starts to be used to the current time, the electric appliance executes each water operation according to the steps S10-S20 to determine the corresponding single corrected water consumption. The electric appliance executes water operation once, and the corresponding single corrected water consumption is obtained. The electric appliance executes water operation more than once, and more than one single corrected water consumption is obtained.

[0068] When the number of single corrected water consumptions is one, the single corrected water consumption is taken as the actual total water consumption; when the number of single corrected water consumptions is more than one, the sum of the more than one single corrected water consumptions is taken as the actual total water consumption.

[0069] Step S40, determining the remaining life information of the filter core according to the actual total water consumption and the preset total water consumption of the filter core in the electric appliance.

[0070] The preset total water consumption is the total water consumption allowed to be filtered by the filter core from the first use of the filter core to the preset life length. The preset total water consumption can be determined according to the model of the electric appliance.

[0071] The relationship value (such as difference or ratio) between the preset total water consumption and the actual total water consumption is determined according to the relationship value to determine the remaining life information.

[0072] In an embodiment, the difference between the actual total water consumption and the preset total water consumption is used to determine the remaining life information.

[0073] In another embodiment, the ratio between the actual total water consumption and the preset total water consumption is used to determine the life progress of the filter core, and the remaining life information includes the remaining water consumption.

[0074] The method for monitoring the life of the electric appliance provided by the embodiment of the application can detect the single water consumption and the water state parameter during the water operation of the electric appliance, determine the single corrected water consumption of the water operation according to the single water consumption and the water state parameter, accumulate the single corrected water consumption of each water operation of the electric appliance to obtain the actual total water consumption of the electric appliance, and determine the remaining life information of the filter core based on the obtained actual total water consumption and the preset total water consumption of the filter core. The water state parameter detected when the electric appliance executes the water operation can accurately reflect the real-time working condition of the filter core in the process of filtering water, so that the actual total water consumption determined according to the water state parameter and the corresponding single water consumption can accurately reflect the actual life consumption of the filter core, and the accuracy of the remaining life information obtained is ensured, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of the life monitoring of the filter core in the electric appliance.

[0075] Further, based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the life monitoring method is proposed. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the step S20 comprises:

[0076] Step S21, determining a corresponding first correction value according to the water state parameter during the execution of the water operation;

[0077] The first correction value can include a first correction amplitude and / or a first correction coefficient.

[0078] Specifically, a corresponding relationship between the water state parameter and the first correction value can be established in advance, which can include a mapping relationship, a calculation relationship, etc. Based on the corresponding relationship, the first correction value corresponding to the water state parameter can be determined.

[0079] When the water state parameter includes more than one sub-state parameter, the first correction value here can be determined according to the more than one sub-state parameter. Each sub-state parameter can correspond to determine a sub-correction value, and the first correction value can be determined according to the more than one sub-correction value.

[0080] Step S22, correcting the single water consumption of the water operation according to the first correction value to obtain a single corrected water consumption.

[0081] Each single water consumption corresponds to determine a single corrected water consumption, and the single corrected water consumption can be greater than, less than or equal to the corresponding single water consumption.

[0082] When the first correction value is a first correction amplitude, the sum of the single water consumption and the first correction amplitude is taken as the single corrected water consumption. The first correction amplitude can be positive or negative.

[0083] When the first correction value is a first correction coefficient, the product of the first correction coefficient and the single water consumption is taken as the single corrected water consumption. The first correction coefficient can be greater than 1 or less than or equal to 1.

[0084] In this embodiment, the single water consumption of each water operation is corrected according to the first correction value determined by detecting the water state parameter at the corresponding time. The obtained single corrected water consumption can accurately reflect the actual life consumption of the filter core during the water operation. Based on this, no matter how the state of the water filtered by the filter core fluctuates during the execution of more than one water operation by the electric appliance, the actual total water consumption obtained can accurately reflect the actual life consumption of the filter core, thereby further effectively improving the accuracy of the life monitoring of the filter core in the electric appliance.

[0085] Further, in an embodiment, the water state parameter comprises a first water pressure and / or a first water flow and / or a first water temperature. The first water pressure is positively correlated with the second correction value, and / or, the first water flow is negatively correlated with the second correction value, and / or, the first water temperature is positively correlated with the second correction value.

[0086] The first water pressure is specifically the first water pressure of the water inlet of the filter element, which is detected by a first water pressure sensor arranged in the water inlet module. The first water flow is specifically the flow of the water outlet side of the filter element, which can be detected by a flow sensor arranged in the instant heater. The first water temperature is specifically the first water temperature of the water outlet side of the filter element, which can be detected by a temperature sensor arranged in the instant heater.

[0087] In the present embodiment, the first correction value is determined according to the first water pressure, the first water flow and the first water temperature. Specifically, the third coefficient is determined according to the first water pressure, the fourth coefficient is determined according to the first water flow, and the fifth coefficient is determined according to the first water temperature. The second correction coefficient is determined according to the third coefficient, the fourth coefficient and the fifth coefficient. Specifically, the product of the third coefficient, the fourth coefficient and the fifth coefficient can be taken as the second correction coefficient. Alternatively, the average of the third coefficient, the fourth coefficient and the fifth coefficient can be taken as the second correction coefficient. In other embodiments, the first correction value is determined according to one or two of the first water pressure, the first water flow and the first water temperature, and the second correction coefficient can also be one or two of the third coefficient, the fourth coefficient and the fifth coefficient.

[0088] In the present embodiment, the corresponding relationship between the first water pressure and the third coefficient Px, the corresponding relationship between the first water flow and the fourth coefficient Qx, and the corresponding relationship between the first water temperature and the fifth coefficient Tx are shown in Table 1 as follows:

[0089]

[0090]

[0091] Table 1

[0092] Based on this, by determining the numerical interval in which the first water pressure and / or the first water flow and / or the first water temperature is located, the corresponding coefficient can be determined, and the first correction value is determined according to the determined third coefficient and / or fourth coefficient and / or fifth coefficient. For example, when the first water pressure is 0.05, the third coefficient is 0.95; for example, when the first water pressure is 0.25, the third coefficient is 1.12. For example, when the first water flow is 360, the fourth coefficient is 1.17; for example, when the first water flow is 640, the fourth coefficient is 0.8. For example, when the first water temperature is 8, the fifth coefficient is 0.98; for example, when the first water flow is 27, the fifth coefficient is 1.02.

[0093] In the embodiment, each single water consumption corresponds to water state parameters including a first water pressure, a first water flow rate and a first water temperature, a third coefficient is determined according to the first water pressure, a fourth coefficient is determined according to the first water flow rate, a fifth coefficient is determined according to the first water temperature, a second correction value corresponding to each single water consumption is determined according to the third coefficient, the fourth coefficient and the fifth coefficient corresponding to each single water consumption, the second correction value corrects the corresponding single water consumption to obtain a corresponding actual water consumption, and a sum of all actual water consumptions is taken as an actual total water consumption.

[0094] In the embodiment, the first water pressure and / or the first water flow rate and / or the first water temperature can accurately reflect the influence of water state on the consumption speed of the filter core life, so that the first correction value determined by the first water pressure and / or the first water flow rate and / or the first water temperature corrects the water consumption to obtain the second water quantity, which is beneficial to guarantee the accuracy of the second water quantity obtained in characterizing the consumption speed of the filter core life, thereby further improving the accuracy of the filter core life monitoring in the electrical appliance.

[0095] Further, based on the above-mentioned embodiments, another embodiment of the life monitoring method is provided. In the embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the step S40 comprises:

[0096] Step S41, correcting the preset total water consumption according to a water quality parameter of water filtered by the filter core to obtain a target total water consumption;

[0097] The water quality parameter includes water hardness, content value of dissolved solids, pH value, transparency, colloid and any water quality parameter associated with filter life, which can reflect the influence on the total life of the filter core.

[0098] The acquisition approach of the water quality parameter includes but is not limited to: detection by the above-mentioned detection module, or, obtaining the parameter input after measurement when the installation personnel install the machine, or, obtaining the water quality parameter detected by the server by matching other networked electrical appliances in the relevant area, or, obtaining the relevant parameter published by a professional institution, etc.

[0099] Among them, the second correction value is determined according to the water quality parameter, and the target total water consumption is obtained by increasing or decreasing the preset total water consumption according to the second correction value.

[0100] Step S42, determining the remaining life information according to the actual total water consumption and the target total water consumption.

[0101] In an embodiment, the remaining life information is determined according to the difference between the actual total water consumption and the target total water consumption.

[0102] In another embodiment, the life progress of the filter core is determined according to the ratio between the actual total water consumption and the target total water consumption, and the remaining life information includes the remaining water consumption.

[0103] In the embodiment, the water filtered by the filter element has different water quality, and the influence on the service life of the filter element is different, so the preset total water consumption is corrected according to the water quality parameter to obtain a target total water consumption, and the target total water consumption can accurately reflect the actual service life allowed by the filter element; in addition, the water filtered by the filter element in the pipeline has different states, and the degree of service life consumption of the filter element is different, so the single water consumption is corrected according to the water state parameter to determine the actual total water consumption, and the actual total water consumption can accurately reflect the actual service life consumption of the filter element, so that the residual life information is determined by combining the target total water consumption and the actual total water consumption, which can effectively improve the accuracy of the actual residual life of the filter element reflected by the residual life information, thereby further improving the accuracy of the service life monitoring of the filter element in the electrical appliance.

[0104] Further, in an embodiment, the water quality parameter includes a water hardness and / or a content value of dissolved solids, and the step of correcting the preset total water consumption according to the water quality parameter to obtain a target total water consumption includes: determining a second correction value according to the water hardness and / or the content value; correcting the preset total water consumption according to the second correction value to obtain the target total water consumption; wherein the water hardness and / or the content value is negatively correlated with the second correction value.

[0105] The second correction value can include a second correction amplitude and / or a second correction coefficient.

[0106] Specifically, a corresponding relationship between the water hardness and / or the content value and the second correction value can be established in advance, which can include a mapping relationship, a calculation relationship, etc., and the second correction value corresponding to the water hardness and / or the content value can be determined based on the corresponding relationship.

[0107] When the second correction value is a second correction amplitude, the sum of the preset total water consumption and the second correction amplitude is taken as the target total water consumption. The second correction amplitude can be a positive value or a negative value.

[0108] When the second correction value is a second correction coefficient, the product of the second correction coefficient and the preset total water consumption is taken as the target total water consumption. The second correction coefficient can be greater than 1 or less than or equal to 1.

[0109] In the embodiment, the second correction value is determined according to the water hardness and the content value, specifically, a first coefficient is determined according to the water hardness, a second coefficient is determined according to the content value, and a second correction coefficient is determined according to the first coefficient and the second coefficient. Specifically, the product of the first coefficient and the second coefficient can be taken as the second correction coefficient. Alternatively, the average of the first coefficient and the second coefficient can be taken as the second correction coefficient. In other embodiments, the second correction value is determined according to one of the water hardness and the content value, and the second correction coefficient can also be the first coefficient or the second coefficient.

[0110] In the embodiment, the correspondence between water hardness and the first coefficient Hx, and the correspondence between the content value TDS and the second coefficient Dx are shown in Table 2 as follows:

[0111] Water hardness (mg / L) Hx TDS (mg / L) Dx <71 1.5 0-9 1.1 71-142 1.1 10-89 1.05 143-284 0.95 90-449 1 285-534 0.9 450-1000 0.9 >534 0.8 >1000 0.7

[0112] Table 2

[0113] Based on this, by determining the numerical interval in which the water hardness and / or the content value is located, the corresponding coefficient can be determined, and the second correction value is determined according to the determined first coefficient and / or second coefficient. For example, when the water hardness is 150, the first coefficient is 0.95; for example, when the water hardness is 80, the first coefficient is 1.1. For example, when the content value is 20, the second coefficient is 1.05; when the content value is 500, the second coefficient is 0.9.

[0114] In the embodiment, the water hardness and / or the content value of the dissolved solids can accurately reflect the influence of the filter core water quality on the preset total life, so that the second correction value is determined by the water hardness and / or the content of the dissolved solids to correct the preset total water consumption to obtain the target total water consumption, which is beneficial to guarantee the accuracy of the target total water consumption in characterizing the actual total life of the filter core, thereby further improving the accuracy of the filter core life monitoring in the electric appliance.

[0115] Further, based on any of the above embodiments, another embodiment of the life monitoring method of the application is proposed. In the embodiment, the water consumption includes a plurality of single water consumptions of the electric appliance between the initial use time of the filter core and the current time, and the single water consumption of the current water operation is obtained by:

[0116] obtaining the water parameter of the electric appliance during the current water operation, and when the water parameter meets a preset condition, taking the water discharge amount detected in the current water operation as the single water consumption; wherein the preset condition indicates that the electric appliance is normally running.

[0117] Wherein, the water operation period specifically refers to the time period between the start time of the water operation and the end time of the water operation.

[0118] Here, the detected water discharge amount is the discharged water amount detected by the sensor when the electric appliance performs the water operation, and each water operation corresponds to a detected water discharge amount. The electric appliance corresponds to water discharge once for each water operation, and the single discharged water amount is taken as the corresponding water discharge amount.

[0119] The preset condition specifically refers to the condition required to be met by the water parameter when the detection device for detecting the water consumption is normally running and / or the electric appliance is not leaking. The water parameter can include water pressure and / or water flow and / or water temperature and / or water flow rate, etc. The preset condition can be a target numerical interval required to be reached by the water parameter, or a target size relationship or quantity relationship required to be met with a preset threshold.

[0120] In the embodiment, the preset condition comprises at least one of the following conditions:

[0121] The change value of the second water flow of the pipeline where the filter element is located detected by the electric appliance during the current water outlet operation is greater than a first preset change value;

[0122] The change value of the second water pressure of the pipeline where the filter element is located detected by the electric appliance during the current water outlet operation is greater than a second preset change value;

[0123] The second water flow of the pipeline where the filter element is located detected by the electric appliance at the end of the current water outlet operation is less than or equal to a preset flow value.

[0124] The first preset change value and the second preset change value are specifically the minimum change value allowed during normal operation of the detection device corresponding to the water consumption within the operation time of a single water outlet operation. The change value of the second water flow greater than the first preset change value indicates that the detection device corresponding to the water consumption is not damaged; otherwise, it indicates that the detection device corresponding to the water consumption is damaged. The change value of the second water pressure greater than the second preset change value indicates that the detection device corresponding to the water consumption is not damaged; otherwise, it indicates that the detection device corresponding to the water consumption is damaged.

[0125] The preset flow value is specifically the maximum flow value allowed within the operation time of a single water outlet operation when the electric appliance does not leak. The second water flow less than or equal to the preset flow value indicates that the electric appliance does not leak; the second water flow greater than the preset flow value indicates that the electric appliance leaks.

[0126] In the embodiment, by the above-mentioned manner, the deviation between the obtained single water consumption and the actual water consumption caused by the equipment running failure (such as the failure of the detection device corresponding to the water consumption or the existence of the leakage of the electric appliance) can be effectively avoided, so as to prevent the water consumption with error from being applied to the filter element life monitoring, thereby being beneficial to further improving the accuracy of the filter element life monitoring.

[0127] Further, based on any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, another embodiment of the life monitoring method of the present application is proposed. In the embodiment, the remaining life information comprises a remaining water consumption, and the remaining water consumption is specifically the total water consumption allowed by the electric appliance during the remaining life of the filter element. Referring to Figure 6 , after step S40, further comprising:

[0128] Step S50, when the remaining water consumption is less than or equal to a preset water consumption, controlling the electric appliance and / or the target terminal associated with the electric appliance to output a prompt information of replacing the filter element;

[0129] The preset water quantity is the minimum residual water quantity allowed when the filter core reaches the target purification rate. When the residual water quantity is less than or equal to the preset water quantity, it indicates that the filter core cannot meet the target purification rate and needs to be replaced. At this time, the electric appliance and / or the associated target terminal output prompt information, so that the user can know the replacement state of the filter core based on the prompt information.

[0130] The target terminal is a client (such as a mobile phone, a smart watch, a tablet computer, etc.) installed with an application program corresponding to the electric appliance. The prompt information can be output through the application program on the target terminal, for example, information push in the application program.

[0131] The electric appliance can output the prompt information through the buzzer sound or the display screen change.

[0132] Step S60, when the residual water quantity is greater than the preset water quantity, controlling the target terminal to output the prompt information of the life progress of the filter core.

[0133] In the embodiment, the life progress is the ratio of the second water quantity to the first water quantity. In other embodiments, the life progress can also be the residual water quantity, etc.

[0134] The prompt information of the life progress can be output in the form of display or progress lamp, etc.

[0135] In the embodiment, through the above-mentioned manner, it is ensured that the user can replace the filter core in time or know the life progress of the filter core based on the prompt information, so that the user can maintain the filter core in time and accurately based on the prompt information, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the filter core to meet the water cleaning demand of the electric appliance.

[0136] In addition, the embodiment of the present application also proposes a storage medium, and the storage medium stores a life monitoring program. When the life monitoring program is executed by a processor, the related steps of any embodiment of the above life monitoring method are realized.
