[0045] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0046] According to an exemplary embodiment, this embodiment proposes a method for displaying a visual operating interface for a garment processing device, such as a washing machine, dryer, or washer-dryer. The visual operating interface can be displayed on the operation panel of the garment processing device or on a mobile terminal attached to the garment processing device. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a visual user interface according to an exemplary embodiment, see reference. Figure 1 The display method includes the following steps:

[0047] S11. Obtain the operating parameters set by the user according to the clothing processing program;

[0048] S12. Determine the rating of the operating parameters corresponding to the operating parameters, and determine the correlation of the performance parameters corresponding to the operating parameters;

[0049] S13. Determine the performance parameter rating based on the rating of the operating parameters and the correlation of the performance parameters.

[0050] S14. Display performance parameter ratings on the visual operation interface.

[0051] In this embodiment, the execution entity of the display method is the control unit of the garment processing device, or the control unit of the mobile terminal bound to the garment processing device. When a user uses the garment processing device to process clothes, they must first select a garment processing program through the control panel of the garment processing device or the mobile terminal bound to the garment processing device. Different garment processing programs correspond to different default operating parameters, which the user can adjust. If the user does not adjust the default operating parameters, the operating parameters are set to the default operating parameters corresponding to the garment processing program. If the user adjusts the default operating parameters, the operating parameters are set to the adjusted operating parameters. Users can also set the operating parameters themselves under a custom garment processing program. When the garment processing device has different garment processing modes, these modes include, but are not limited to, washing, drying, or care modes. Different garment processing modes correspond to different garment processing programs. Taking the washing mode as an example, garment processing programs include, but are not limited to, standard wash, mixed wash, quick wash, or antibacterial wash. Operating parameters at least characterize the operating status of the garment processing device. Taking the washing mode as an example, operating parameters include, but are not limited to, detergent time, rinsing times, washing temperature, or detergent dosage, or one or more of these. Different garment processing programs have different numerical values ​​for their operating parameters.

[0052] After the user sets the operating parameters, the system acquires these parameters and determines a rating for each operating parameter, as well as a rating for the corresponding performance parameter. When the user adjusts the operating parameters, the system reacquires the adjusted parameters and determines the operating parameter rating and performance parameter rating based on these adjusted parameters. Performance parameters at least characterize the processing effect and / or energy consumption of the garment processing equipment. Performance parameters include, but are not limited to, washing, rinsing, sterilization, garment care, water saving, energy saving, and time saving.

[0053] In one example, the rating of the operating parameter corresponding to the operating parameter is determined according to a preset operating parameter rating table, and the correlation coefficient of the performance parameter corresponding to the operating parameter is determined according to a preset performance parameter and operating parameter correlation coefficient table. Table 1 is a preset operating parameter rating table under a 3kg load shown in a specific example. Refer to Table 1:

[0054] Table 1: Preset Operating Parameter Rating Table

[0055] Numerical range Low (-1 point) Medium (0 points) High (1 point) Washing temperature ℃ Below 30 30-50 50 and above Main washing time (min) Under 15 15-30 30 and above Washing water volume (L) Below 10 10-15 15 and above Number of rinses 0-1 2 3 times or more Rinse water volume (L) Below 10 10-15 15 and above Washing power (spin-stop ratio) Less than 2 2-5 5 or more Dehydration speed rpm Below 800 800-1000 More than 1000 Detergent dosage (ml) Below 20 20-40 40 and above

[0056] Table 1 shows that different numerical ranges for the same operating parameter correspond to different operating parameter ratings. After determining the set operating parameters, the rating is determined based on the numerical range within which the set operating parameters fall. For example, if the set operating parameters include a washing temperature of 40℃, a main wash time of 15 minutes, 2 rinses, and 18L of rinse water, then according to Table 1, the operating parameter rating for washing temperature is medium, for main wash time is low, for rinses is medium, and for rinse water volume is high. The operating parameter ratings for other operating parameters can be deduced accordingly.

[0057] Table 2 is a table of correlation coefficients between preset performance parameters and operating parameters based on specific examples. See Table 2: Table 2: Correlation Coefficients between Preset Performance Parameters and Operating Parameters

[0058]

[0059] Table 2 shows the corresponding performance parameter correlation coefficients for different operating parameters under the same performance parameter. After determining the set operating parameters, the performance parameter rating of the operating parameters can be determined according to Table 2. For example, if the operating parameters include washing temperature, main washing time, washing water volume, and rinsing times, then the washing cleanliness correlation coefficient corresponding to washing temperature is 2, the washing cleanliness correlation coefficient corresponding to main washing time is 2, the washing cleanliness correlation coefficient corresponding to washing water volume is 0, and the washing cleanliness correlation coefficient corresponding to rinsing times is 0, and so on. The rinsing cleanliness correlation coefficient and sterilization correlation coefficient corresponding to washing temperature, main washing time, washing water volume, and rinsing times can be determined respectively.

[0060] After determining the operating parameter rating and the performance parameter correlation, the performance parameter rating can be determined based on these two factors. In one example, determining the performance parameter rating based on the operating parameter rating and the performance parameter correlation includes the following steps:

[0061] S31. Determine the actual score of the performance parameter based on the operating parameter rating and the correlation coefficient of the performance parameter. The actual score is the weighted product of the performance parameter correlation coefficient and the actual rating of the operating parameter. Taking washing as an example, combining the preset operating parameter rating table in Table 1 and the preset performance parameter and operating parameter correlation coefficient table in Table 2, the actual score of washing is: Pa1 * washing temperature rating + Pa2 * main washing time rating + Pa3 * washing water volume rating + Pa4 * rinsing times rating + Pa5 * rinsing water volume rating + Pa6 * washing intensity (rotation-to-stop ratio) rating + Pa7 * spin-drying speed + Pa8 * detergent dosage rating. The rating of each operating parameter is determined according to the actual parameter range of each operating parameter through Table 1. A low rating in the operating parameter rating is -1 point, a medium rating is 0 points, and a high rating is 1 point. Pa1 to Pa8 represent the correlation between washing temperature, main washing time, washing water volume, rinsing times, rinsing water volume, washing intensity, spin speed, and detergent dosage and the washing performance parameters, as determined by Table 2. Pa1 to Pa8 are 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, and 2, respectively. The actual washing score is then calculated by weighting the product of the correlation of each performance parameter related to washing performance with the actual rating of the operating parameters. The actual scores for other performance parameters are calculated using the same method.

[0062] S32. Determine the theoretical maximum and minimum scores of the performance parameters based on the preset operating parameter rating table and the preset performance parameter-operating parameter correlation coefficient table. The theoretical minimum score is the weighted product of the performance parameter correlation coefficient and the lowest rating of the operating parameter, and the theoretical maximum score is the weighted product of the performance parameter correlation coefficient and the highest rating of the operating parameter. For example, taking cleaning as an example, combining Table 1 and Table 2, the theoretical maximum score for cleaning is A, and the theoretical minimum score for cleaning is B, satisfying:

[0063] A=Pa1*1+Pa2*1+Pa3*1+Pa4*1+Pa5*1+Pa6*1+Pa7*1+Pa8*1=2+2+0+0+0+2+0+2=8,

[0064] B=Pa1*(-1)+Pa2*(-1)+Pa3*(-1)+Pa4*(-1)+Pa5*(-1)+Pa6*(-1)+Pa7*(-1)=(-2)+(-2)+0+0+0+(-2)+0+(-2)=-8.

[0065] S33. Determine the performance parameter rating based on the actual score, the theoretical minimum score, and the theoretical maximum score.

[0066] In one example, performance parameter ratings are determined based on actual scores, theoretical minimum scores, and theoretical maximum scores. This includes determining the actual difference between the actual score and the theoretical minimum score, the total difference between the theoretical maximum score and the theoretical minimum score, and the ratio of the actual difference to the total difference. The performance parameter rating is then determined based on the preset rating range in which the ratio falls. Taking washing cleanliness as an example, the actual score for washing cleanliness is calculated as follows: Pa1 * washing temperature rating + Pa2 * main washing time rating + Pa3 * washing water volume rating + Pa4 * rinsing times rating + Pa5 * rinsing water volume rating + Pa6 * washing intensity (rotation-to-stop ratio) rating + Pa7 * spin speed + Pa8 * detergent dosage rating. The theoretical maximum score for washing cleanliness is 8 points, and the theoretical minimum score is -8 points. Therefore, the total difference between the theoretical maximum score and the theoretical minimum score is 16. The actual difference is the difference between the actual score for washing cleanliness and the theoretical maximum score of 8. Then, the ratio of the actual difference to the total difference is calculated. The calculated ratio falls within the 0-1 range. This range is then divided into multiple score intervals. For example, with a three-level system, 0-0.3 corresponds to Level 3, 0.3-0.6 to Level 2, and 0.6-1 to Level 1. Different score intervals correspond to different performance parameter ratings. The performance parameter rating is determined by the score interval in which the ratio of the actual difference to the total difference falls. All performance parameters can be assigned rating intervals using a unified standard, or different performance parameters can be rated according to different standards. The performance parameter ratings for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 can also be described using terms like high, medium, and low, or excellent, good, and average.

[0067] After determining the performance parameter ratings for all performance parameters, these ratings are displayed in a visual operation panel. In one example, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The performance parameter ratings for all performance parameters are displayed separately. In another example, refer to... Figure 3 By identifying the cluster performance parameters to which multiple performance parameters of the same type belong, determining the performance parameter ratings of the multiple performance parameters of the same type, and then determining the cluster performance rating of the cluster performance parameters based on the performance parameter ratings of the multiple performance parameters of the same type, the cluster performance rating is displayed on the visual operation interface.

[0068] Specifically, multiple performance parameters can be categorized into multiple cluster performance parameters. These cluster performance parameters might include, for example, health and cleanliness, delicate care, and low-carbon energy saving. Washing, rinsing, and sterilization can be summarized as health and cleanliness; fabric care and softening can be summarized as delicate care; and water saving, electricity saving, and time saving can be summarized as low-carbon energy saving. Once the performance parameter ratings for washing, rinsing, and sterilization are determined, these ratings can be displayed as a health and cleanliness performance rating. For example, if washing, rinsing, and sterilization constitute a health and cleanliness cluster performance, and all three have a high rating, the health and cleanliness performance rating is excellent. If at least two of these ratings are "medium," the health and cleanliness cluster performance rating is "good." If the health and cleanliness cluster performance rating does not reach "excellent" or "good," the rating is displayed as "average." Alternatively, different performance parameter ratings can be assigned values ​​separately, for example, low level is 1 point, medium level is 2 points, and high level is 3 points. The cluster performance rating can be determined by calculating the average of multiple performance parameters belonging to the same type.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the visual operation interface includes an operating parameter display area 104 and a performance parameter display area 105. The display method further includes: displaying and adjusting the operating parameters corresponding to the garment processing program in the operating parameter display area 104, and displaying the performance parameters and performance parameter ratings corresponding to the operating parameters in the performance parameter display area 105. (Refer to...) Figures 2-4 The visual operation interface includes a clothing processing mode list 101, a clothing processing program list 102, a status and time display 103, an operating parameter display area 104, and a performance parameter display area 105. Operating parameters include, but are not limited to, temperature, time, water volume, number of rinses, washing rhythm and intensity, spin speed, and detergent dosage. These parameters are displayed in the operating parameter display area 104 using visual graphs such as bar charts and column graphs, with the position or length of the graph indicating the magnitude of the operating parameter. They can also be displayed in conjunction with corresponding numerical values ​​or text. Users can adjust the magnitude of operating parameters and set desired values ​​by touching the operating parameter display area 104. The performance parameter display area 105 displays performance parameters and performance ratings using one or more combinations of text, numbers, and symbols.

[0070] In some embodiments, the operating parameter display area 104 also displays reference lines for operating parameter ratings. These reference lines divide the area of ​​the operating parameter display area 104 into regions corresponding to the operating parameter ratings. In one example, as shown in Figure 4, the operating parameter ratings include three levels: high, medium, and low. These three ratings are displayed in the operating parameter display area 104 using reference lines of different heights to divide the operating parameters into high, medium, and low regions. By combining this with a bar chart of the operating parameters, the corresponding parameter ratings for each operating parameter can be intuitively understood, allowing users to adjust the operating parameters to the desired range according to their needs.

[0071] In some embodiments, the performance parameter display area 105 also displays correlation indicators between each performance parameter and the operating parameters. These correlation indicators reflect the magnitude and / or trend of correlation between each performance parameter and different operating parameters. In one example, such as... Figure 4 As shown, based on the user's adjustment of operating parameters, the direction and number of arrows next to the corresponding performance parameter labels indicate the increasing or decreasing trend and magnitude of the change. Combined with Table 2, which sets the correlation coefficient between preset performance parameters and operating parameters, positive correlation is indicated by upward arrows, and negative correlation by downward arrows. The number of arrows is equal to the correlation magnitude of the performance parameter. For example, if the user adjusts the temperature bar chart, the washing performance displays two upward arrows, the rinsing performance displays no arrows, the sterilization performance displays three upward arrows, the garment care performance displays two downward arrows, and the energy-saving performance displays three downward arrows. In other feasible implementations, arrows can also be replaced by indicator lights of different colors. The number of indicator lights is equal to the correlation magnitude of the performance parameter; positive correlation is indicated by green lights, and negative correlation by red lights. This embodiment uses a combination of charts, symbols, and text to intuitively display each operating parameter and performance parameter, providing a clear and easy-to-understand user experience.

[0072] In some implementations, the display status of the relevance indicator is determined based on the region corresponding to the operating parameter rating where the operating parameter value falls. In one example, as shown in Figure 4, when the operating parameter value is in the medium range, the arrow is rendered as a faded, dashed, or shortened line to indicate a weak impact attribute. When the operating parameter is in the high or low range, the arrow is rendered as a bold, solid, or lengthened line to indicate a strong impact attribute. This visually displays the degree of influence of the operating parameter on the performance parameter, providing a reference for users to adjust the operating parameter.

[0073] The garment processing equipment in this embodiment can effectively evaluate the health and cleanliness, gentleness, water and energy saving performance of garment washing and care based on the operating parameters adjusted by the user, and then customize the operating parameters according to their own needs to improve the user experience.

[0074] According to an exemplary embodiment, this embodiment proposes a display device having a visual operation interface, which is displayed according to the display method of the visual operation interface proposed in any of the above embodiments. The display device of this embodiment can be disposed in a garment processing device or in a mobile terminal bound to the garment processing device. Figures 2-4 As shown, the visual operation panel of the display device displays at least three combinations of operating parameters such as temperature, time, water volume, rinsing, intensity, spin speed, and detergent in the operating parameter display area 104, for example, in the form of a bar chart. The performance parameter display area 105 displays one or more combinations of performance parameters such as healthy cleaning, gentle care, and low-carbon energy saving. Operating parameters can be adjusted via touch, for example, by sliding a finger up and down to adjust the operating parameter bar chart. When adjusting operating parameters, a score is automatically calculated and rated according to a corresponding algorithm. By combining preset operating parameter levels and a performance parameter correlation rating table, the actual score of the performance parameter is quickly calculated, and the performance parameter level is evaluated. Then, based on the trend of user adjustment of operating parameters, the increasing or decreasing trend and magnitude of the trend are displayed next to the corresponding performance parameter label using, for example, the direction and number of arrows, to guide the user's adjustment operation.

[0075] Users adjust the operating parameters via a visual control panel on the display device. The panel shows the operating parameters and their corresponding performance ratings. If the performance rating meets the user's needs, the user activates the garment processing equipment, which then operates according to the set parameters. If the performance rating fails to meet the user's needs, the operating parameters can be readjusted, and the performance rating of the adjusted parameters can be repeated until the user's requirements are met.

[0076] According to an exemplary embodiment, this embodiment provides a garment processing apparatus having the display device proposed in the above embodiment. For example, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the garment handling equipment includes a controller unit and a display device 1 connected thereto, such as a display operation panel. The display device 1 uses a fully touch-sensitive screen, such as a TFT screen, to display the control panel. The garment handling equipment can be a drum washing machine or a top-loading washing machine. Taking a drum washing machine as an example, the display control panel is located at the front of the drum body 2 and above the door 3.

[0077] The garment processing equipment in this embodiment can effectively evaluate the health and cleanliness, gentleness, water and energy saving performance of garment washing and care based on the operating parameters adjusted by the user, and then customize the operating parameters according to their own needs to improve the user experience.
