[0043] Based on the problems existing in the related art, an embodiment of the present application provides a prompting method, wherein the execution subject of the method may be an electronic device, and the electronic device may be a terminal device, etc. The terminal device may be a computer, a mobile terminal, a washing machine, etc. In some embodiments, the electronic device may be a controller of the terminal device.

[0044] The functions implemented by the prompt method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by calling program codes by a processor of an electronic device, wherein the program codes can be stored in a computer storage medium.

[0045] The embodiment of the present application provides a prompting method. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the implementation flow of a prompt method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 1 Shown, including:

[0046] Step S101: When the washing machine finishes washing the clothes, the user's setting preferences are obtained.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the washing machine has a washing function and a drying function. The washing machine may be a washing and drying machine.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can obtain the working status of the washing machine to determine whether the washing machine has completed cleaning.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can set his or her own setting preferences, which may include whether to dry the clothes after washing is completed. For example, drying the clothes after washing is completed or not drying the clothes after washing is completed.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can be communicatively connected to an input device to input the user's setting preferences through the input device. The input device may include: a touch screen, a mobile phone terminal, a mouse, a keyboard, a voice input device, etc.

[0051] Step S102 : When the setting preference indicates that drying is required, determining whether the time for pre-wearing the clothes set by the user is obtained.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, if the setting preference indicates that drying is required, in a traditional washing machine, drying will be automatically performed, but if drying is performed, it may be unnecessary. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, whether to dry the clothes can be determined based on the time set by the user to pre-wear the clothes.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can input the time set by the user to wear the clothes through an input device, and the input device may include: a touch screen display on the washing machine, a selection button on the washing machine, the user's mobile phone terminal, etc. For example, the user sets the time to wear the clothes tomorrow, or the user sets the time to wear the clothes 3 days later.

[0054] Step S103 , when the time for pre-wearing the clothes set by the user is obtained, environmental information of the time period between the current time and the time is obtained.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, if the user inputs the time for pre-wearing the clothes, the electronic device obtains the time for pre-wearing the clothes set by the user, and if the user does not input the time for pre-wearing the clothes, the electronic device does not obtain the time for pre-wearing the clothes set by the user.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, a time period between the current time and the time period can be determined, and then environmental information for the time period can be obtained from the network based on the time period. The environmental information can include temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind direction strength, weather conditions, etc. For example, the environmental information for the time period can be obtained from the official weather forecast website corresponding to the location information.

[0057] Step S104: determining the wetness of the clothes after being naturally aired within the time period based on the environmental information.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, environmental information, clothing information of the clothing, and a time period can be input into a pre-established neural network to determine the degree of wetness of the clothing after natural drying within the time period.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the clothing information may include the material of the clothing. When selecting a washing option, the user may select the material of the clothing, thereby enabling the electronic device to obtain the material of the clothing. In some embodiments, the electronic device may be in communication with an image acquisition device to determine the material information of the clothing by capturing an image of the clothing.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, a large amount of sample data can be obtained, and the sample data may include: environmental information, time period and clothing information, and wetness level. Training is performed through the sample data to obtain a neural network model.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the wetness level is used to characterize the state of the clothes, for example, dry, semi-dry, etc.

[0062] Step S105: When the wetness is less than a first wetness threshold, output a prompt message, wherein the prompt message is used to prompt the user to dry the clothes naturally.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the first wetness threshold can be configured. When the wetness is less than the first wetness threshold, the clothes can be considered to be dry and the user can wear them.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the prompt information can be displayed in the form of text, and the electronic device can be connected to the display device for communication, and the prompt information can be input through the display device. In some embodiments, the display device can be a display screen of a washing machine or a display screen of a mobile phone.

[0065] In some embodiments, the prompt information may be output in the form of voice, for example, by playing voice information through a voice playback device to output the prompt information.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, when the user receives the prompt information, the user can let the clothes dry naturally without drying them.

[0067] In some embodiments, after the prompt information is output, the user can choose whether to dry naturally. If the user chooses direct drying, a drying program is executed for drying.

[0068] The present application provides a prompt method, which obtains the user's setting preferences when the washing machine has finished washing the clothes; determines whether the time for pre-wearing the clothes set by the user is obtained when the setting preferences indicate that drying is required; obtains environmental information of the time period between the current time and the time when the time for pre-wearing the clothes set by the user is obtained; determines the wetness level of the clothes after natural drying within the time period based on the environmental information; and outputs a prompt message when the wetness level is less than a first wetness level threshold, wherein the prompt message is used to prompt the user to dry the clothes naturally, which can reduce the number of unnecessary times of drying clothes and improve the intelligence of the washing machine.

[0069] In some embodiments, after step S104, the method further includes:

[0070] Step S106 : When the humidity level is greater than the first humidity level threshold, a drying procedure is determined based on the environmental information.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, if the wetness is greater than the first wetness threshold, the clothes are not dried when naturally aired within the time period, and therefore need to be dried.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, when the drying program is performed, the clothes may be dried directly, or the degree of moisture of the clothes may be reduced without direct drying.

[0073] Step S107: drying the clothes based on the drying program.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, a drying program can be executed to dry the clothes.

[0075] In some embodiments, step S107 may be implemented by the following steps:

[0076] Step S1071: When it is determined based on the environmental information that the wetness of the clothes during natural drying in the time period is greater than a second wetness threshold, the drying mode is determined to be the first drying mode.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, a second wetness threshold can be configured. When the wetness is greater than the second wetness threshold, it can be considered that the clothes are still in a relatively wet state, for example, a semi-dry state, and at this time they can be directly dried with a higher power.

[0078] Step S1072, when it is determined based on the environmental information that the wetness of the clothes when naturally dried within the time period is greater than the third wetness threshold, the drying mode is determined to be the second drying mode, wherein the power of the first drying mode is greater than the power of the second drying mode, the second wetness is greater than the first wetness threshold, and the third wetness is less than the second wetness threshold and greater than the first wetness threshold.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, a third wetness threshold can be configured. If the wetness of the clothes is greater than the third wetness threshold when they are naturally dried during the time period, it can be considered that the clothes are close to dry when they are naturally dried during the time period. At this time, the second drying mode can be used. When working in the second drying mode, it can be considered as preliminary drying, such as shaking off some water, drying for a shorter time, etc. After working in the second drying mode, the user can take them out and dry them naturally to achieve drying.

[0080] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines that the drying mode is the first drying mode when it is determined based on the environmental information that the wetness of the clothes when naturally drying within the time period is greater than the second wetness threshold; and determines that the drying mode is the second drying mode when it is determined based on the environmental information that the wetness of the clothes when naturally drying within the time period is greater than the third wetness threshold, wherein the power of the first drying mode is greater than the power of the second drying mode, the second wetness is greater than the first wetness threshold, and the third wetness is less than the second wetness threshold and greater than the first wetness threshold, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the device.

[0081] In some embodiments, after step S102, the method further includes:

[0082] Step S108: If the pre-wearing time of the clothes set by the user is not obtained, the climate characteristics of the location where the washing machine is located are obtained.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, if the time set by the user to wear the clothes is not obtained, it can be considered that the user is not in a hurry to wear the clothes.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can obtain the current geographical location of the device and determine the climate characteristics based on the geographical location. The geographical location can be a central region, a coastal region, etc.

[0085] For example, July to August in the central region is usually hotter.

[0086] Step S109: drying the clothes when it is determined based on the climate characteristics that the clothes cannot be dried naturally within a preset time.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, the preset time can be configured, for example, 2 days. If the clothes cannot be dried naturally after two days, the clothes need to be dried. If the clothes are kept wet for a long time, they may breed odors and bacteria. Therefore, in this case, the clothes can be dried directly in the first drying mode.

[0088] In some embodiments, after step S108, the method further includes:

[0089] Step S110 , when it is determined based on the climate characteristics that the clothes can be dried naturally within a preset time period, outputting a prompt message, wherein the prompt message is used to prompt the user to dry the clothes naturally.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, if the climate characteristics determine that the clothes can be dried naturally within a preset time, in order to reduce unnecessary drying of the clothes, a prompt message can be output through the prompt device to prompt the user to dry the clothes naturally.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, the prompt information can be displayed in the form of text, and the electronic device can be connected to the display device for communication, and the prompt information can be input through the display device. In some embodiments, the display device can be a display screen of a washing machine or a display screen of a mobile phone.

[0092] In some embodiments, the prompt information may be output in the form of voice, for example, by playing voice information through a voice playback device to output the prompt information.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, when the user receives the prompt information, the user can let the clothes dry naturally without drying them.

[0094] In some embodiments, after step S110 or step S105, the method further includes:

[0095] Step S111, determining whether feedback information of the user regarding the prompt information is obtained, wherein the feedback information is used to provide feedback on not performing natural drying;

[0096] Step S112: drying the clothes when the feedback information is obtained.

[0097] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, the embodiments of the present application further provide a prompt method, which customizes a scientific and appropriate washing and drying plan for the user by associating environmental data near the washer-dryer, such as weather conditions, air temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc., so that the user can enjoy the best service at the lowest cost.

[0098] The executor of this application can be a washing machine and dryer in a home network, and the subject of information collection is also the washing machine and dryer. After the washing machine and dryer are successfully connected to the network, they will automatically obtain some necessary information around the device to facilitate the execution of subsequent plans. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the implementation flow of a prompt method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 2 Shown, including:

[0099] Users can register and log in on the designated APP, connect their smart devices to the network and pair them with the APP to connect them to the home network. At the same time, users need to authorize the device to collect necessary data for analysis.

[0100] Users must first place and install the purchased smart device in the appropriate location to ensure proper operation. Once the washer-dryer is successfully connected to the network, it will first obtain the device's geographic location and then analyze the current climate characteristics based on the time of day. For example, in Guangdong, February and March are typically the return of the south wind, making it difficult to dry clothes, so drying is necessary. Alternatively, in central China, during July and August, when the sun is scorching, drying is unnecessary.

[0101] After the device is connected to the network, the user needs to set personal preferences, such as whether the clothes should be dried immediately after washing; or if the user is not in a hurry to wear the clothes after washing, then they can let them dry automatically; or if the user needs the clothes tomorrow morning, but the current environment cannot dry them overnight, then they need to dry them initially and then dry them naturally.

[0102] After the user sets the priority, when the laundry is finished, the washer-dryer will automatically match the priority set by the user. If the user does not need to dry the clothes, the laundry is completed and the program ends. If the user needs to dry the clothes, the washer-dryer will verify the current environmental information that affects the drying of the clothes. If the current environment is good and the clothes can be dried naturally, the user will be reminded that the current environment does not require drying and can be dried naturally. If the user accepts the suggestion, the program ends. If the user does not accept it, the clothes will be dried directly.

[0103] If the environment is average and not conducive to drying clothes, the washing and drying machine will perform preliminary drying, such as shaking off some water to speed up the drying of clothes, but there is no need to dry the clothes completely; if the environment is particularly humid, the clothes will be dried directly.

[0104] This solution can improve the user experience, allowing users to have both experience and economic considerations, and enhance the competitiveness of the product.

[0105] Based on the foregoing embodiments, an embodiment of the present application provides a prompt device, and the modules included in the device, as well as the units included in each module, can be implemented by a processor in a computer device; of course, they can also be implemented by a specific logic circuit; in the implementation process, the processor can be a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor (MPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), or a field programmable gate array (FPGA), etc.

[0106] The present invention provides a prompting device, including:

[0107] a detection module, configured to detect bacteria in the washing machine when the cabinet door of the washing machine is closed, and obtain a first bacteria detection result;

[0108] The control module is used to start the ultraviolet sterilization module in the washing machine to work when the first bacteria detection result is greater than a safety threshold, so as to sterilize the tableware in the washing machine.

[0109] In some embodiments, the prompting device is further used to:

[0110] A first acquisition module is used to acquire the user's setting preferences when the washing machine finishes washing the clothes;

[0111] A first determining module is configured to determine whether the time for pre-wearing the clothes set by the user is obtained when the setting preference indicates that drying is required;

[0114] The prompt module is used to output a prompt message when the wetness is less than a first wetness threshold, wherein the prompt message is used to prompt the user to dry the clothes naturally.

[0115] In some embodiments, the prompting device is further used to:

[0116] determining a drying procedure based on the environmental information when the humidity level is greater than the first humidity level threshold;

[0117] The clothes are dried based on the drying program.

[0118] In some embodiments, determining the drying mode based on the environmental information includes:

[0119] If it is determined based on the environmental information that the wetness of the clothes during natural drying within the time period is greater than a second wetness threshold, determining the drying mode to be the first drying mode;

[0120] When it is determined based on the environmental information that the wetness of the clothes when naturally dried within the time period is greater than the third wetness threshold, the drying mode is determined to be the second drying mode, wherein the power of the first drying mode is greater than the power of the second drying mode, the second wetness is greater than the first wetness threshold, and the third wetness is less than the second wetness threshold and greater than the first wetness threshold.

[0121] In some embodiments, the prompting device is further used to:

[0122] If the pre-wearing time of the clothes set by the user is not obtained, obtaining the climate characteristics of the location where the washing machine is located;

[0123] When it is determined based on the climate characteristics that the clothes cannot be dried naturally within a preset time period, the clothes are dried.

[0127] determining whether feedback information from the user regarding the prompt information is obtained, wherein the feedback information is used to provide feedback on not performing natural drying;

[0128] When the feedback information is obtained, the clothes are dried.
