[0054] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of a dishwasher tableware storage control method according to the present invention;

[0055] Figure 4 This is a structural block diagram of an embodiment of a dishware storage control device for a dishwasher according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0056] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0057] One of the core concepts of this invention is that by using the user's location information to determine the distance between the user and the dishwasher, the dishwasher automatically adds a tableware storage function and automatically adjusts the storage time. This reduces the cumbersome process for the user and improves the user experience.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of an embodiment of a dishwasher tableware storage control method according to the present invention. The tableware storage control method specifically includes the following steps:

[0059] Step 101: Obtain user location information;

[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, the user's current location, i.e., user location information, can be obtained via the network when tableware is placed inside the dishwasher or during the washing of tableware.

[0061] User location information can be represented using latitude and longitude coordinates, Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates, etc. Latitude and longitude coordinates are the most common and widely used way to represent location. Longitude represents the east-west offset of a location, while latitude represents the north-south offset. Degrees (°) are usually used as the unit. GPS technology measures location on Earth and represents it in the form of latitude and longitude coordinates.

[0062] It should be noted that the user location information obtained in this embodiment of the invention is obtained after obtaining the user's consent in advance. Methods of obtaining user consent include, but are not limited to, user input commands, user setting location-based access permissions, etc.

[0063] Step 102: Determine distance data based on the user location information;

[0064] Based on the user's current location information, the distance between the user's current location and the dishwasher is calculated. This distance is then used to determine a specific distance value, which represents the magnitude of the distance between the user and the dishwasher. This distance can be a scalar, meaning it does not have a direction, to reduce the amount of data processing.

[0065] Step 103: In response to the distance data meeting the preset start threshold, generate tableware storage parameters based on the distance information;

[0066] After obtaining the distance between the user and the dishwasher, the system can determine whether to activate the dishwasher's dish storage function based on this distance data. The dishwasher's dish storage function refers to the intermittent operation of the dishwasher's fan to keep the dishes dry when the user does not use them immediately, thus enabling long-term storage.

[0067] If the distance data meets the preset start threshold

[0068] The preset activation threshold can be set by the user according to their needs, and this embodiment of the invention does not limit this setting. The size of the preset activation threshold includes a unit scale that is the same as that used for distance information.

[0069] Step 104: Execute the tableware storage parameters to store the tableware.

[0070] The dishwasher's storage parameters are executed, and various components such as the fan and vents are controlled to ensure proper ventilation and keep the dishes dry for storage.

[0071] This invention provides an embodiment that obtains user location information; determines distance data based on the user location information; generates tableware storage parameters based on the distance information in response to the distance data meeting a preset activation threshold; and executes the tableware storage parameters to store the tableware. By obtaining user location information and determining the distance between the user and the dishwasher, if the user exceeds the set distance and has not activated the tableware storage function before leaving home, the dishwasher can automatically generate tableware storage parameters to start the tableware storage program and store the tableware. Users can store tableware in the dishwasher without operating it, reducing cumbersome procedures and improving the user experience.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 This diagram illustrates a flowchart of another embodiment of the dishwasher tableware storage control method of the present invention. In this embodiment, it can be used in conjunction with a cloud server, which can connect to both the dishwasher and the user via a communication network. The cloud server can interact with both the user and the dishwasher. The connection between the cloud server and the user refers to the connection between the cloud server and the user's terminal device. This terminal device can have an application for controlling the dishwasher installed. The user interacts with the cloud server through operations on the application, thereby controlling the dishwasher.

[0073] The dishwasher's tableware storage control method may specifically include the following steps:

[0074] Step 201: Obtain user location information;

[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, the cloud server can obtain the user's current location, i.e., user location information, through the user's mobile terminal.

[0076] Specifically, the step of obtaining user location information includes: periodically obtaining the user location information.

[0077] In practical applications, cloud servers can periodically acquire user location information. By periodically acquiring user location information, control processes are triggered to ensure timely and appropriate control of the dishwasher, thereby improving the user experience.

[0078] Step 202: Determine distance data based on the user location information;

[0079] The user's location can be determined based on their current location information. Since the dishwasher's location is fixed, the distance between the user and the dishwasher can be determined based on the user's location information, thus establishing the distance data.

[0080] The distance can be determined as a straight-line distance, a distance traveled along a route, or a time distance. That is, the distance between the user and the dishwasher can be represented by straight-line distance, distance traveled along a route, or time distance. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this. Straight-line distance, also known as Euclidean distance, refers to the straight-line distance between two points and can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, i.e., √((x²-x₁)²+(y²-y₁)²). Distance traveled along a route is based on road network data, considering factors such as road type and traffic congestion, and calculates the shortest distance from the starting point to the destination. Time distance is calculated based on the speed and travel time of the vehicle on different road segments, determining the total time required to travel from the starting point to the destination.

[0081] Step 203: In response to the distance data meeting the preset start threshold, generate tableware storage parameters based on the distance information;

[0082] After obtaining the distance data, it is determined whether the tableware storage function needs to be activated based on the distance data. It can be determined whether the distance data meets a preset activation threshold. When the distance data meets the preset activation threshold, meaning the user is far from the dishwasher and the need for tableware is not present for a certain period, thus requiring tableware storage, tableware storage parameters can be generated based on the distance information in response to the distance data meeting the preset activation threshold. The dishwasher can then be controlled using these tableware storage parameters. In one example of this invention, the preset activation threshold is a distance threshold. When the distance in the distance data is greater than this distance threshold, the step of generating tableware storage parameters based on the distance information can be executed.

[0083] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of generating tableware storage parameters based on the distance information includes:

[0084] Sub-step S2031: Calculate the difference between the distance information and the preset activation threshold;

[0085] To determine the parameters for storing tableware, the difference between the distance information and the preset activation threshold can be calculated first. This difference is a scalar. The calculation of this difference is not limited in this embodiment of the invention.

[0086] Sub-step S2032: Generate tableware storage parameters based on the difference.

[0087] After obtaining the difference, corresponding tableware storage parameters are generated based on the magnitude of the difference. The larger the difference, the longer the tableware storage time is specified in the tableware storage parameters.

[0088] Specifically, the step of generating tableware storage parameters based on the difference includes: determining whether the difference is greater than a preset storage threshold; in response to the difference being greater than the preset storage threshold, determining a first storage duration as the tableware storage parameter; in response to the difference not being greater than the preset storage threshold, determining a second storage duration as the tableware storage parameter; wherein the first storage duration is greater than the second storage duration.

[0089] In this embodiment of the invention, a preset storage threshold can be set. The size of this preset storage threshold can be set according to needs, and this embodiment of the invention does not limit it. The relationship between the difference and the preset storage threshold can be determined, and it can be determined whether the difference is greater than the preset storage threshold. The determination methods include, but are not limited to, the difference method, the number line method, and the comparison method.

[0090] When the difference exceeds the preset storage threshold, it means the user needs to move the dishwasher a considerable distance and store the dishes for an extended period. In response to this, a first storage duration can be determined as the dish storage parameter, and the dishwasher can be controlled for the duration of this first storage duration.

[0091] When the difference is not greater than a preset storage threshold, it means the user needs the dishwasher nearby and only needs to store the dishes briefly. In response to this, a second storage duration can be determined as the dish storage parameter, and the dishwasher can be controlled within this second storage duration. The first storage duration is longer than the second storage duration; for example, the first storage duration is two hours, and the second storage duration is one hour.

[0092] Step 204: Execute the tableware storage parameters to store the tableware.

[0093] Once the tableware storage parameters are obtained, they can be executed to control the dishwasher to keep the tableware dry for the corresponding time period.

[0094] Step 205: In response to the distance data not meeting the preset start threshold, obtain the current time value;

[0095] When the distance data does not meet the preset start threshold, meaning the user may use the dishes in the dishwasher at any time, the system can retrieve the current time value in response. The current time value can be an absolute time value.

[0096] Step 206: In response to the current time value being within a preset time period, generate tableware preheating parameters;

[0097] In this embodiment of the invention, a preset time period can be used to characterize a user's dining needs. That is, within the preset time period, the user may need to use tableware. It can be determined whether the current time value falls within the preset time period. If the current time value does, it means the user has a dining need at that time. In response to the current time value falling within the preset time period, tableware preheating parameters can be generated. The dishwasher preheats the tableware using these parameters for user convenience.

[0098] Step 207: Execute the tableware preheating parameters to preheat the tableware.

[0099] After obtaining the tableware preheating parameters, execute the tableware preheating parameters and control the dishwasher to preheat the tableware.

[0100] Step 208: When the tableware is stored, in response to the distance data not meeting the preset start threshold, a storage shutdown parameter is generated;

[0101] When the dishwasher is in the dish storage mode, the user's location may change, and the user's location is periodically acquired. If the distance data corresponding to the user's latest location does not meet the preset activation threshold (i.e., the user's current location has changed to a position within the dish usage range), the dishwasher can generate storage shutdown parameters in response to this. The dishwasher then disables the dish storage function using these parameters.

[0102] Step 209: Execute the storage shutdown parameter, which is used to disable and stop the storage of the tableware.

[0103] After obtaining the storage shutdown parameters, the storage shutdown parameters can be executed. The storage shutdown parameters are used to turn off and stop the tableware storage, control the dishwasher to turn off the tableware storage function, thereby realizing the automatic shutdown of the tableware storage function. Users can use the tableware storage function without noticing, ensuring the cleanliness of the tableware.

[0104] This invention provides an embodiment that acquires user location information; determines distance data based on the user location information; generates tableware storage parameters based on the distance information in response to the distance data meeting a preset activation threshold; and executes the tableware storage parameters to store the tableware. By acquiring user location information, the distance between the user and the dishwasher is determined. If the user exceeds the set distance and has not activated the tableware storage function before leaving home, the dishwasher can automatically generate tableware storage parameters to start the tableware storage program and store the tableware. The user can store the tableware in the dishwasher without operating the dishwasher, reducing the cumbersome process of setting tableware storage. Furthermore, in response to the distance data not meeting the preset activation threshold, the current time value is acquired; in response to the current time value being within a preset time period, tableware preheating parameters are generated; and the tableware preheating parameters are executed to preheat the tableware. When the user is close to the dishwasher, the user's dining needs are determined, thereby automatically preheating the tableware in advance, eliminating the need for user settings. Furthermore, when the tableware is in storage, in response to the distance data not meeting the preset start threshold, a storage shutdown parameter is generated; the storage shutdown parameter is executed to stop the tableware storage. When the distance between the user and the dishwasher decreases, the dishwasher's parameter storage can be automatically canceled, allowing the user to use the tableware directly without having to manually cancel the tableware storage process on the dishwasher, thus improving the user experience.

[0105] To make the implementation process of the dishwasher tableware storage control method described in the embodiments of the present invention clearer to those in the art, an example is given below for illustration:

[0106] Reference Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a step-by-step flowchart of an example of a dish storage control method for a dishwasher according to the present invention.

[0107] Users pre-connect the dishwasher and their mobile devices, such as smartphones, to the cloud server for network configuration. After successful connection, users can control the dishwasher through the dishwasher app. Users set the distance between the dishwasher and their smartphone to 'a' (the preset start threshold) in the app. The dishwasher app will periodically retrieve the user's smartphone location information ('t'). After obtaining the location information, the dishwasher app uploads it to the cloud server. The cloud server calculates the actual distance 'b' between the user and the dishwasher (i.e., distance data), compares the set distance 'a' with the actual distance 'b', and controls whether the dishwasher activates the additional dish storage function.

[0108] (1) When the set distance 'a' is greater than the actual distance 'b', the cloud server determines that the user is too close to the dishwasher and does not automatically add the tableware storage function. It then determines whether the user's current time is between 11:00-13:00 or 17:00-20:00 (preset time period) to determine if the user intends to use the tableware. If the user is within this time period, the dishwasher turns on the PTC (thermistor) heating element of the fan to preheat the tableware for the user, improving the user experience.

[0109] (2) When the set distance a is less than the actual distance b, the cloud server determines that the user is far from the dishwasher and automatically activates the additional tableware storage function.

[0110] When the cloud server detects that the user is far from the dishwasher, it automatically adds the tableware storage function. The storage time is adjusted based on the difference *c* between the actual distance and the set distance. (a) When *c* > 50 (the preset storage threshold), the storage time is set to 2 hours. (b) When *c* < 50, the storage time is set to 1 hour. After the set time *t*, the cloud server is fed back to re-detect the user's location information and reassess whether the user still needs the automatic storage function. When the user is closer to the dishwasher, the automatic storage function is turned off, eliminating the need for the user to cancel the function and reducing user steps.

[0111] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the described order of actions, because according to the embodiments of the present invention, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously.
