[0014] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a clothes processing method of an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0016] The embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-2 The clothes processing system, method and edge node device of the embodiments of the present application are described.

[0017] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a clothes processing system of an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 , the clothes processing system 100 comprises a plurality of clothes processing devices 10, an edge node device 20 and a cloud platform 30. Among them, the edge node device 20 and the clothes processing device 10 can be arranged in a laundry room.

[0018] Referring to Figure 1 , each clothes processing device 10 has a MESH (wireless mesh network) ad hoc network module 11, and each clothes processing device 10 forms a MESH ad hoc network through the respective MESH ad hoc network module 11.

[0019] Specifically, the laundry processing device 10 can include a washing machine and / or a drying machine, that is, the laundry processing device 10 can include any one of a washing machine, a drying machine, a washing machine and a drying machine. Each laundry processing device 10 forms a MESH ad hoc network through the respective MESH ad hoc network module 11. Different MESH ad hoc networks can be distinguished by MESH_id, and the communication data between nodes is symmetrically / asymmetrically encrypted with MESH_password as the key. It should be noted that the MESH ad hoc network includes WIFI (wireless network communication technology) MESH, Bluetooth MESH, ZigBee (ZigBee protocol) MESH, Lora (Lora), etc. It can be understood that due to the interconnection between the laundry processing devices 10, the device access cost is reduced, the data packet loss rate is reduced, the state synchronization between the laundry processing devices 10 is more reliable, the instruction response speed is improved, and the security of communication is improved.

[0020] Referring to Figure 1 , the edge node device 20 is configured to obtain the state information of each laundry processing device through a gateway node device of the MESH ad hoc network, determine an idle laundry processing device according to the state information, and receive an order input instruction input for the idle laundry processing device 10, and generate order information according to the order input instruction. The gateway node device is any one of the plurality of laundry processing devices 10.

[0021] Specifically, the edge node device 20 can be a smart speaker, a touch screen smart device, a PC, etc. The edge node device 20 obtains the state information of each laundry processing device through one of the plurality of laundry processing devices 10 in the MESH ad hoc network, determines an idle laundry processing device according to the state information, and receives an order input instruction input for the idle laundry processing device 10, and generates order information according to the order input instruction. Thus, the edge node device 20 communicates with the external network through the gateway node device of the MESH ad hoc network, realizes processing data on the edge side of the network, reduces the request response time and reduces the network bandwidth, and ensures the security and privacy of the data.

[0022] It should be noted that the MESH self-organizing network has the following characteristics: first, when the gateway node device of the MESH self-organizing network communicates with the external network, it can use a wireless WIFI router or other wireless communication module with communication function or wired connection mode for communication. Second, the gateway node device of the MESH self-organizing network is not fixed, but is selected by the built-in algorithm of the MESH self-organizing network. Third, when the gateway node device is abnormally down, the MESH self-organizing network will select a new gateway node device, thereby realizing the self-recovery function of the MESH self-organizing network. Fourth, when a new gateway node device appears or the existing gateway node device abnormally drops, the MESH self-organizing network will automatically adjust the network topology relationship, thereby dynamically adjusting the network topology relationship.

[0023] In addition, since the clothes processing devices 10 form the MESH self-organizing network, the clothes processing devices 10 are connected to the edge node device 20 in a single point / multi-point manner to form a local area network, and the clothes processing devices 10 in the MESH self-organizing network cannot communicate with the external network, thereby improving the privacy and security of communication.

[0024] In the first embodiment of the present application, the edge node device 20 can include a touch screen. The edge node device 20 is further configured to display the following information on the touch screen: order placing control, device selection control of idle clothes processing devices 10, identity information and / or location information; wherein the order placing control is used for order placing operation, the identity information can include number information and / or model information, the device selection control is used for clothes processing device 10 selection operation, and the order placing instruction includes operation instructions corresponding to the order placing operation and the clothes processing device 10 selection operation.

That is to say, the cloud platform 30 as the center node is responsible for communication with the edge node device 20, can receive the data uploaded by the edge node device 20, and can also send the control instruction (i.e. clothes processing instruction) to the edge node device 20, to realize the control of the idle clothes processing device 10. Therefore, the massive data no longer needs to be directly uploaded to the cloud for processing, which reduces the requirement of the cloud computing center on the TSP concurrent performance and improves the system stability.

[0031] It should be noted that the cloud platform 30 only maintains the order, and there is no machine instruction interaction, and all control logic is completed on the touch screen, which plays the role of edge computing, thereby reducing the burden of the cloud platform 30.

[0032] In the third embodiment of the present application, the edge node device 20 is further configured to display an order unpaid state on the touch screen after generating the order information, display a payment two-dimensional code corresponding to the payment request information on the touch screen after receiving the payment request information, and change the order unpaid state to an order paid state after generating the payment completion information.

[0036] In the fifth embodiment of the present application, the edge node device 20 is further configured to send a restart instruction to the target clothes processing device 10 through the gateway node device to control the target clothes processing device 10 to restart when it is determined according to the state information that the target clothes processing device 10 fails to start, and report the state change of the target clothes processing device 10 to the cloud platform 30 after successful start.

[0037] Specifically, the edge node device 20 sends a restart instruction to the target clothes processing device 10 through the gateway node device to control the target clothes processing device 10 to restart when it is determined according to the state information that the target clothes processing device 10 fails to start, that is, the target clothes processing device 10 fails to start, and the cloud platform does not need to participate in controlling the target clothes processing device 10 to restart. The edge node device 20 reports the state change of the target clothes processing device 10 (i.e., the state of the target clothes processing device 10 changes to the running state) to the cloud platform 30 after successful start.

[0038] In the sixth embodiment of the present application, the edge node device 20 is further configured to display a subscription control on the touch screen, receive a subscription operation input for the subscription control, generate subscription information according to the subscription operation, and send the subscription information to the cloud platform 30, wherein the subscription information includes the working state of the target clothes processing device 10 (e.g., power on, power off, washing completion, remaining time, fault or no fault, etc.); and the cloud platform 30 is further configured to send the subscription information to the user terminal.

[0039] Specifically, the user can input a subscription operation through the subscription control, and the edge node device 20 receives the subscription operation input for the subscription control and generates subscription information according to the subscription operation, and sends the subscription information to the cloud platform 30. Thus, the subscription operation is performed through the subscription control.

[0040] It should be noted that the touch screen is directly connected to the cloud platform, and the target clothes processing device 10 uploads data after processing by the touch screen, and only reports data actively subscribed by the cloud platform, thereby effectively reducing the data load of the cloud platform.

[0041] In the seventh embodiment of the present application, the edge node device 20 is further configured to display a query control on the touch screen, receive a query operation input to the query control, and display a query result on the touch screen according to the query operation, wherein the query result comprises a working state of the laundry processing device 10 (e.g., power on, power off, washing completion, remaining time, fault, etc.).
