[0045] To address the problems in the related art, embodiments of the present application provide a method for controlling a washing machine. The method may be performed by an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, a computer, a smart home device, a smart wearable device, or a washing machine. In some embodiments, the electronic device may be a controller for a mobile terminal, a computer, a smart home device, a smart wearable device, or a washing machine.

[0046] The functions implemented by the control method for a washing machine provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by calling a program code by a processor of an electronic device, wherein the program code can be stored in a computer storage medium.

[0047] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a washing machine. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the implementation flow of a washing machine control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the washing machine includes:

[0048] Step S101: Acquire first image information of clothing.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the first image information may include the type, color, size, and shape of the clothing, and the first image information of the clothing may be obtained by a camera or sensor built into the washing machine. By obtaining this image information, the washing machine can better understand the clothing to be washed and thus select the most appropriate washing program and parameters.

[0050] Step S102: determining first detection information of the clothing based on the first image information.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the first detection information may include at least one of information such as the material, color, size, thickness, etc. of the clothing, and the location of the stain (detecting whether there is a stain on the clothing or special cleaning requirements). The washing machine can use image recognition technology to analyze the first image information to determine the specific characteristics and status of the clothing. Based on this detection information, the washing machine can more accurately select the appropriate washing program and parameters to ensure that the clothing is effectively and properly cleaned.

[0052] Step S103: determine the washing and care mode based on the first detection information.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the washing machine can determine the most suitable washing and care mode based on the first detection information, such as the material, color, and stain condition of the clothes. This may involve selecting a washing program (such as gentle wash, quick wash, strong wash, etc.), water temperature, wash time, and other washing parameters to ensure the best washing effect for the clothes. This personalized washing and care mode can better meet the cleaning needs of different clothes and improve the cleaning efficiency and quality of the washing machine.

[0054] Step S104: Control the washing machine to wash the clothes based on the washing and care mode.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the washing machine washes clothes according to a determined wash mode and corresponding washing parameters. The wash mode includes controlling the water flow, speed, detergent dosage, etc. of the washing machine to ensure that the clothes are properly cleaned under the conditions of the specific wash mode. This ensures that the clothes are washed to the best effect while protecting the texture and color of the clothes.

[0056] This application provides a washing machine control method that obtains first image information of clothing; determines first detection information of the clothing based on the first image information; determines a wash and care mode based on the first detection information; and controls the washing machine to wash the clothing based on the wash and care mode. In this way, the wash and care mode can be automatically determined for the user, improving the user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments, the control method of the washing machine further includes:

[0058] Step S105: After the washing is completed, obtain the second image information of the clothes.

[0059] In this step, the washing machine will obtain second image information of the clothes through the built-in camera or sensor after the washing is completed to obtain image information of the washed clothes. This image information can be used for subsequent processing, such as classifying the clothes or evaluating the washing effect.

[0060] Step S106: classify the clothes based on the second image information to obtain a classification result.

[0061] In this step, the washing machine uses image processing and classification algorithms to classify the laundry based on the second image information, generating a classification result. This may involve identifying features such as color, shape, and size to determine the category of each piece of clothing. For example, the laundry can be classified into different categories, such as white, colored, and black. This classification result can help the washing machine make subsequent processing decisions, such as storing the laundry in a different location or performing different subsequent treatments.

[0062] Step S107: storing the clothes in wardrobes corresponding to the categories based on the classification results.

[0063] In this step, the washing machine is equipped with an intelligent storage system (i.e., a wardrobe management system). Based on the classification results, the washing machine can place the clothes in the corresponding locations in the intelligent storage system according to the classification results. For example, white clothes can be placed in one wardrobe of the intelligent storage system, colored clothes in another wardrobe, black clothes in another wardrobe, and so on. In this way, the intelligent storage system can facilitate the user's subsequent access to clothes and improve the overall intelligence level.

[0064] In this step, based on the classification results, the clothes are stored in the wardrobes corresponding to the categories, which may include the following steps:

[0065] 1. Intelligent transmission system: After the washing machine finishes washing clothes, the clothes can be automatically sent to the designated location of the intelligent storage system through the intelligent transmission system (such as conveyor belts, robotic arms, etc.).

[0066] 2. Visual recognition technology: Using visual recognition technology, the system can identify information such as the type, color, and size of each piece of clothing so that the clothes can be placed in the appropriate wardrobe.

[0067] 3. Automatic classification and placement: The intelligent storage system can automatically classify and place clothes according to the identification information of the clothes, ensuring that each piece of clothing is properly stored in the appropriate wardrobe.

[0068] 4. Interactive interface: In order to facilitate users to manage clothes, an interactive interface can be designed so that users can remotely control and monitor the wardrobe management system through mobile phone apps or smart terminals.

[0069] Through the above steps, the washing machine can automatically put the clothes into the wardrobe management system after washing, providing users with a more convenient clothing management experience.

[0070] In this embodiment, the steps can be used to implement a more intelligent and automated washing machine control method. After washing is complete, the washing machine can capture image information of the clothes again to detect the washing effect and the condition of the clothes. Then, using image recognition and classification algorithms, the washing machine can classify the clothes, for example, placing white clothes in one closet, black clothes in another, and clothes made of special materials in another closet, etc. This intelligent classification method can help users manage their clothes more conveniently while improving the efficiency and intelligence of the washing machine.

[0071] In some embodiments, the control method of the washing machine further includes:

[0072] Step S108: Obtain the viewing times set by the user.

[0073] In this step, the user can set a parameter in the washing machine to determine the number of times they want to check the laundry during the washing process. During use, the user can check the laundry, in which case the washing machine will be able to obtain the number of times set by the user, so that the user can decide how many times to check the washing results during the washing process according to their needs and preferences.

[0074] Step S109 : controlling the acquisition module to acquire third image information of the washing machine during the washing process based on the number of views.

[0075] This step can be achieved using a built-in camera or sensor to capture image information during the washing process. The washing machine controls the acquisition module based on the number of views set by the user, capturing third image information as the washing machine washes the clothes. Therefore, the washing machine captures image information of the clothes during the washing process at appropriate times, based on the number of views set by the user, allowing the user to observe the washing results and progress.

[0076] Step S100: output the third image information to the user.

[0077] During this step, the washing machine displays the third image information captured during the washing process to the user. Specifically, the washing machine displays images of the washing process to the user via the washing machine's display, a mobile app, or an internet connection, allowing the user to observe the washing progress in real time. By viewing these images, the user can understand the progress and results of the laundry, gaining a more intuitive understanding of the laundry process.

[0078] In these embodiments, the user can view the laundry during the washing process. In this case, the washing machine can obtain the number of views set by the user. Based on the number of views set by the user, the washing machine controls the acquisition module to capture third image information of the laundry during the washing process. This helps the user monitor the status of the laundry and the washing results during the washing process. Finally, the washing machine outputs the captured third image information to the user, who can view real-time images of the laundry process through a mobile phone application, display screen, or other means to understand the progress and results of the washing process.

[0079] In some embodiments, the control method of the washing machine further includes:

[0080] Step S110 , when the user's set washing mode is obtained, the washing machine is controlled to wash the clothes based on the set washing mode.

[0081] In this step, you set the washing mode, including quick wash, deep clean, and energy-saving mode, to adjust parameters such as the washing program, water temperature, and washing time. After the washing machine obtains the washing mode set by the user, it will control the washing machine to wash the clothes according to the washing mode set by the user, ensuring that the clothes are washed according to the user's expectations.

[0082] Step S120: After the washing is completed, obtain fourth image information of the clothes.

[0083] In this step, the fourth image information includes the cleanliness level, residual stains, wrinkles, etc. of the clothes. After washing is completed, the washing machine will obtain the fourth image information of the washed clothes through the corresponding image sensor or camera equipment, which can provide a basis for subsequent cleaning effect evaluation and possible adjustments, so as to facilitate subsequent cleaning effect evaluation.

[0084] Step S130: determining whether the cleaning effect of the clothes meets a preset effect based on the fourth image information.

[0085] In this step, the washing machine uses a model or other image processing technology to evaluate whether the laundry cleaning effect meets the preset effect based on the acquired fourth image information. By analyzing the image information, the washing machine can identify stains on the surface of the clothes, the degree of cleanliness, and possible residues, thereby determining whether the cleaning effect meets the user's expectations.

[0086] Step S140: When the cleaning effect of the clothes does not meet the preset effect, second detection information of the clothes is determined based on the fourth image information.

[0087] In step S140, by analyzing the fourth image information, the washing machine identifies any issues with the laundry's cleaning performance and obtains related second detection information, such as the location of residual stains, areas of insufficient cleaning, or wrinkles in the laundry. This information will help further analyze the cleaning performance issues and provide a basis for subsequent adjustments to ensure better cleaning results.

[0088] Step S150: determining a washing mode based on the second detection information.

[0089] In this step, the washing machine will determine the washing mode based on the second detection information to solve the problem that the washing effect of the clothes does not meet the expectations.

[0090] In this step, based on the second detection information, the washing machine can adjust parameters such as the washing program, water temperature, and washing time, and select a more suitable washing mode to ensure better washing results for the clothes.

[0091] Step S160: Continue washing the clothes based on the washing mode.

[0092] In these embodiments, the above steps demonstrate the process of intelligent control and adjustment of the washing machine according to the washing mode and cleaning effect set by the user during the cleaning process. In this way, the applicability of the washing machine can be improved, the different cleaning needs of users can be met, and the cleaning effect can be improved.

[0093] In some embodiments, the detection information includes: the cleaning effect of the target area does not meet the preset effect, and the control method of the washing machine further includes:

[0094] Step S170: If the cleaning effect of the clothes does not meet the preset effect, a prompt message is output, and the prompt message is used to prompt the user to apply laundry detergent to the target area.

[0095] In this step, the washing machine can prompt the user through a display screen, sound prompts or other interactive methods, informing the user that laundry detergent needs to be applied to a specific area to improve the cleaning effect of the area.

[0096] In these embodiments, when the washing machine detects that the laundry cleaning effect does not meet the preset effect, the washing machine will output a prompt message to prompt the user to apply laundry detergent to the target area. Outputting the prompt message can help the user better participate in the laundry process, improve the cleaning effect, and enhance the user experience.

[0097] An embodiment of the present application provides a wardrobe management and washing care system with automatic clothing detection and recommendation, which includes a washing machine device side, a server side, an algorithm side, and an APP side. There are two cameras in the system, one is on the APP side and the other is on the washing machine device side. The detection device on the device side is built into the washing machine and is connected to the smart terminal and the cloud. The APP side camera collects images of clothing and clothing labels, the device side camera is used to collect the washing status data of the clothing, and the algorithm side detects the clothing material and stain location based on the clothing image data, and analyzes the washing mode. After washing is completed, the clothing is automatically placed in the wardrobe management system. The user can check the status of the clothing in the wardrobe on the mobile phone APP or other terminals. The user presets the number of times to be checked during each washing process, and takes photos and pushes them to the user according to the preset. When the user uses the self-set mode to wash, and the detection after completion does not achieve the expected effect, the APP reminds the user to apply laundry detergent to the areas that are not cleaned clean, and starts the recommended mode to continue washing.

[0098] The embodiments of this patent may be implemented using software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware. For example, they may be implemented through hardware devices such as built-in sensors, cameras, smart washing machines, and wardrobe management systems, as well as through software means such as program control and algorithm optimization.

[0099] Based on the above-mentioned automatic clothing detection and recommendation wardrobe management and care system, this application provides a specific example of a washing machine control method. This system uses a camera or other sensor to detect clothing, acquiring information such as clothing type, material, color, and season. Based on the detection results, the system uses a built-in care mode library to recommend the most suitable care mode for each item. During use, clothing is placed in the smart washing machine and washed according to the recommended care mode. After washing, the clothing is automatically placed in the wardrobe management system. Users can view the clothing in their wardrobes via a mobile app or other device. Clothes are categorized by season and automatically sorted according to their seasonal information. For example, summer clothing can be placed in a summer wardrobe, and winter clothing in a winter wardrobe. Based on the clothing category information, intelligent recommendations are made for outfit combinations or care methods suitable for each category, enhancing the lifespan and comfort of the clothing. Furthermore, the system automatically captures the clothing based on the wash mode and the number of views preset by the user, and pushes and displays the images through the app. The material and care mode of each item are analyzed based on the user's clothing. If the user's selected mode does not match the recommended mode, the user is automatically notified of the optimal mode. A care report is generated after the washing is complete. When the user uses the self-set mode to wash and care, but the clothes are not clean after washing and care, the user is reminded to continue to start the recommended mode to improve the user's washing and care efficiency and help the user maintain the clothes.

[0100] Based on the above system, Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of an implementation flow of another washing machine control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The process logic of the washing machine control method specifically includes:
