TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of clothes processing, and specifically provides a control method of a clothes processing system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Dryers, washing machines and washing-drying integrated machines are common clothes processing devices in daily life. In the process of using these clothes processing devices, the specific values of clothes processing parameters are usually determined. It can be that the specific values of clothes processing parameters are determined before each clothes processing, so that the parameters of the subsequent clothes processing process are executed according to the values. It can also be that the values of clothes processing parameters corresponding to different clothes are determined in advance, and the values of clothes processing parameters actually used are determined according to the values each time the clothes are processed by using the device. In some existing clothes processing devices, in order to enable different clothes to obtain appropriate clothes processing parameter values, users are required to manually set clothes processing parameters. Although this method can determine the clothes processing parameters corresponding to different clothes, the user experience is relatively poor because the user has to input the specific values of clothes processing parameters one by one.

[0029] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] The present application relates to a clothes treatment system, which comprises a controller and a clothes treatment information acquisition unit in communication with the controller, each piece of clothes has a clothes treatment information storage unit corresponding thereto, the clothes treatment information storage unit stores clothes treatment information corresponding to the clothes, and the clothes treatment information acquisition unit can acquire the clothes treatment information corresponding to the clothes from the clothes treatment information storage unit.

[0032] The clothes treatment system can be a clothes treatment device, such as a washing machine, a drying machine, a washing-drying integrated machine, a clothes care machine, a clothes airing machine, etc., in which case the controller and the clothes treatment information acquisition unit are both provided in the clothes treatment device; or the clothes treatment system comprises the clothes treatment device, the controller and the clothes treatment information acquisition unit, that is, the controller and the clothes treatment information acquisition unit are not provided in the clothes treatment device; or the clothes treatment system comprises the clothes treatment device and the controller, the controller is not provided in the clothes treatment device, and the clothes treatment information acquisition unit is provided in the clothes treatment device; or the clothes treatment system comprises the clothes treatment device and the clothes treatment information acquisition unit, the clothes treatment information acquisition unit is not provided in the clothes treatment device, and the controller is provided in the clothes treatment device.

[0033] The clothes treatment information storage unit can be a two-dimensional code printed on the clothes or a clothes label, a plastic block printed with a two-dimensional code, or an RFID tag storing the clothes treatment information of the clothes. When the clothes treatment information storage unit is the plastic block or the RFID tag, the clothes treatment information storage unit corresponding to the clothes is sold to the buyer at the time of selling the clothes. When the clothes treatment information storage unit is the two-dimensional code or the plastic block printed with the two-dimensional code, the clothes treatment information acquisition unit can be a camera for scanning and identifying the two-dimensional code, or a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone with a code scanning function, so as to acquire the clothes treatment information stored in the two-dimensional code. When the clothes treatment information storage unit is the RFID tag, the clothes treatment information acquisition unit can comprise a reader / writer for reading the clothes treatment information contained in the RFID tag. In the above, the clothes treatment information can include specific values of clothes treatment parameters, such as a washing water temperature of 50 degrees Celsius and a drying time of 30 minutes.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 The control method of the clothes treatment system comprises the following steps:

[0035] S1, acquiring the clothes treatment information corresponding to the clothes from the clothes treatment information storage unit;

[0036] S2, according to whether the clothes processing information acquisition unit successfully acquires clothes processing information, selectively acquiring clothes information of clothes and determining clothes processing information of clothes according to the acquired clothes information;

[0037] S3, according to whether the clothes processing information is successfully determined, selectively acquiring user-defined clothes processing information and determining the user-defined clothes processing information as the clothes processing information of the clothes.

[0038] In step S1, for example, the clothes processing information acquisition unit is a camera for scanning and identifying a two-dimensional code, and the clothes processing information storage unit is a two-dimensional code printed on a clothes label. The user places the two-dimensional code on the clothes label in front of the camera for identification. If the two-dimensional code is intact, the camera can successfully acquire the clothes processing information of the clothes through the two-dimensional code. If the clothes label is damaged, the two-dimensional code may be incomplete, and at this time, the camera cannot acquire the clothes processing information of the clothes.

[0039] In step S2, specifically, if the clothes processing information is not successfully acquired in step S1, the clothes information of the clothes is acquired and the clothes processing information of the clothes is determined according to the acquired clothes information; if the clothes processing information is successfully acquired, the clothes information of the clothes does not need to be acquired and the successfully acquired clothes processing information is determined as the clothes processing information of the clothes.

[0040] It should be noted that how to determine whether the clothes processing information is successfully acquired in step S1, the number of times of acquisition can be set. If the number of times of acquiring the clothes processing information through step S1 reaches the set acquisition times, the clothes processing information still cannot be successfully acquired, it can be determined that the clothes processing information is not successfully acquired. It can also be set to set the acquisition time length, and the clothes processing information is continuously acquired within the time length. If the time length is exceeded, the clothes processing information still cannot be successfully acquired, it can be determined that the clothes processing information is not successfully acquired.

[0041] The clothing information can be clothing weight, clothing material, etc. Taking the clothing material as an example, the clothing information can be obtained in the following ways. The clothing processing system has a touch panel, a text box for inputting text is displayed directly on the touch panel, and a prompt information is displayed to prompt the user to input the clothing material of the clothing. The clothing processing system has a voice broadcast module and a voice recognition module, a voice prompt is issued through the voice broadcast module to prompt the user to input the clothing material of the clothing, and then the voice recognition module is used to recognize the sound input by the user to obtain the clothing material input by the user. The user can directly input the clothing material of the clothing on the APP of the mobile phone, the mobile phone sends the information of the clothing material to the clothing processing system, and the clothing processing system receives the information to obtain the clothing material. The clothing image can also be obtained by a camera, and the clothing material of the clothing can be analyzed according to the clothing image.

[0042] After obtaining the clothing information, the clothing processing information of the clothing can be determined according to the clothing information. Taking the clothing material as an example, the clothing processing information includes the specific value of the clothing processing parameter. The clothing material (such as wool, cotton, etc.) and the clothing processing parameter (such as washing water temperature, drying time, etc.) are used as keywords to search on the network to obtain the specific value of the clothing processing parameter corresponding to the clothing material. The obtained specific value of the clothing processing parameter is determined as the clothing processing information corresponding to the clothing. The clothing material (such as wool, cotton, etc.) and the clothing processing parameter (such as washing water temperature, drying time, etc.) can also be transmitted to personnel who provide specific value suggestions of clothing processing parameters for different materials of customers to obtain the specific value of the clothing processing parameter provided by the personnel, and the specific value of the clothing processing parameter provided by the personnel is determined as the clothing processing information corresponding to the clothing.

[0043] During the execution of the step S2, the clothing processing system may fail to obtain the clothing information successfully, which will result in the failure to determine the clothing processing information successfully. For example, the user may not have selected from the multiple clothing material options, or the communication between the mobile phone and the clothing processing system may fail to transmit information, resulting in the failure of the clothing processing system to obtain the clothing information successfully. In addition, after the clothing processing system obtains the clothing information, it may still fail to determine the clothing processing information of the clothing successfully. For example, the network may fail to search for the specific value of the clothing processing parameter, or the personnel who provide specific value suggestions of clothing processing parameters for different materials of customers may not provide suggestions in time.

[0044] In step S3, specifically, if the clothes treatment information is not successfully determined in step S2, the user-defined clothes treatment information is obtained and determined as the clothes treatment information of the clothes; if the clothes treatment information is successfully determined, the user-defined clothes treatment information is not needed to be obtained, and the successfully determined clothes treatment information is determined as the clothes treatment information of the clothes.

[0045] It should be noted that, as to how to determine whether the clothes treatment information is successfully determined in step S2, a set number of acquisition times can be set, if the number of times of obtaining the clothes treatment information reaches the set number of acquisition times, and the clothes treatment information still cannot be successfully obtained, it can be determined that the clothes treatment information is not successfully determined in step S2; or a set time length can be set, and the clothes treatment information is continuously obtained within the time length, if the time length is exceeded and the clothes treatment information still cannot be successfully obtained, it can be determined that the clothes treatment information is not successfully determined in step S2.

[0046] It should be noted that, before obtaining the user-defined clothes treatment information, the user must be provided with a way to input the clothes treatment information, for example, a text box for inputting text is directly displayed on the touch panel, and prompt information is displayed to prompt the user to input the clothes treatment information of the clothes; or a prompt voice is issued by a voice broadcast module to prompt the user to input the clothes treatment information of the clothes, and then a voice recognition module is used to recognize the sound emitted by the user to obtain the clothes treatment information input by the user.

[0047] In the above control method, three ways of obtaining the clothes treatment information of the clothes are involved. In the first way, the clothes treatment system directly obtains the clothes treatment information from the clothes treatment information storage unit corresponding to the clothes, in which the user only needs to put the clothes treatment information storage unit in a state that the clothes treatment information in the clothes treatment information storage unit can be obtained (for example, aligning the two-dimensional code on the clothes label with the camera), without the user needing to think and the user expending less effort. In the second way, the clothes information of the clothes is obtained and the clothes treatment information is determined according to the clothes information, in which the clothes information can be obtained by the clothes treatment system analyzing the clothes information of the clothes or by the user confirming the clothes information of the clothes and then providing the clothes information to the clothes treatment system. Even if the user needs to confirm the clothes information, it is relatively easy for the user to do so without expending much thought, and the user expends more effort than in the first way but still expends less effort. In the third way, the user-defined clothes treatment information is obtained to determine the clothes treatment information of the clothes, in which the user needs to input the clothes treatment information, that is, the user needs to determine the clothes treatment information, which is more difficult for the user than determining the clothes material of the clothes. The user can need to consult materials and expend much thought to determine the clothes treatment information suitable for the clothes, which expends much effort of the user.

[0048] The above control method first attempts to directly obtain the clothes treatment information from the clothes treatment information storage unit corresponding to the clothes, and if this fails, obtains the clothes information of the clothes and determines the clothes treatment information of the clothes according to the clothes information, and if this finally fails, obtains the user-defined clothes treatment information. If the clothes treatment information is successfully obtained from the clothes treatment information storage unit or is successfully determined according to the clothes information of the clothes, the user does not need to input the clothes treatment information. That is, the control method first determines the clothes treatment information by using the way expending less effort of the user, and then determines the clothes treatment information by using the way expending more effort of the user, so as to reduce the effort of the user as much as possible in the process of determining the clothes treatment information, facilitate the user, and further greatly reduce the possibility of the user inputting the clothes treatment information of the clothes one by one and improve the user experience.

[0049] It should be noted that in the above control method, if it is required to determine the clothes treatment information of multiple clothes, steps S1 to S3 can be first taken for one piece of clothes to determine the clothes treatment parameter, and then steps S1 to S3 are taken for the next piece of clothes to determine the clothes treatment parameter, and in this way, the clothes treatment information of all clothes is determined. Of course, it can also be that steps S1 are first performed for all clothes, then steps S2 are performed for all clothes, and finally steps S3 are performed for all clothes, in this way, the clothes treatment information of all clothes is determined.

[0050] Preferably, the step of "obtaining clothes information of the clothes and determining clothes treatment information of the clothes according to the obtained clothes information" specifically comprises:

[0051] providing multiple clothes information to the user for selection;

[0052] In the case where the user does not select from the multiple clothes information, obtaining clothes information customized by the user, and determining the clothes treatment information according to the clothes information customized by the user;

[0053] In the case where the user selects from the multiple clothes information, obtaining the clothes information selected by the user, and determining the clothes treatment information according to the clothes information selected by the user.

[0054] For the step of "providing multiple clothes information to the user for selection", specifically, still taking the clothes information as the clothes material as an example, multiple clothes materials can be displayed on the touch panel, and the user is prompted to select the clothes material of the clothes by touching the touch panel, or multiple selectable clothes materials can be broadcasted by the voice broadcast module, and the user is prompted to speak the clothes material to be selected, the voice recognition module receives the voice of the user, and recognizes the clothes material involved in the voice of the user, so as to obtain the clothes material selected by the user.

[0055] For the step of "in the case that the user does not select from the plurality of clothes information, obtaining clothes information customized by the user, and determining clothes treatment information according to the clothes information customized by the user", it needs to be explained that, as to how to judge whether the user does not select from the plurality of clothes information, a setting time length can be set, if the user is provided with the plurality of clothes information for a setting time length, and still cannot successfully obtain the selection made by the user, it can be determined that the user does not select from the plurality of clothes information, or an option of applying to input clothes information by oneself can be provided to the user while the plurality of clothes information is provided for selection, if the user selects the option of applying to input clothes information by oneself, it is determined that the user does not select from the plurality of clothes information, or a text box for inputting text can be additionally displayed on the touch panel while the plurality of clothes information is displayed on the touch panel for selection, and prompt text is displayed to prompt the user that if there is no clothes information of the clothes in the plurality of clothes information, the user can input the customized clothes information in the text box, that is, input the clothes information of the clothes by himself / herself, so if the user inputs the customized clothes information in the text box, it can also be determined that the user does not select from the plurality of clothes information. Of course, similar to obtaining the clothes treatment information customized by the user, before obtaining the clothes information customized by the user, the user must be provided with a way to input the clothes treatment information.

[0056] For the step of "in the case that the user selects from the plurality of clothes information, obtaining clothes information selected by the user, and determining clothes treatment information according to the clothes information selected by the user", if the clothes treatment system successfully receives the clothes information selected by the user, it belongs to the case that the user selects from the plurality of clothes information, and then the clothes treatment information of the clothes is determined according to the clothes information selected by the user.

[0057] In the embodiment, the plurality of clothes information is provided to the user for selection, which facilitates the user to provide the clothes information, and in addition, when the user does not select clothes information as the clothes information of the clothes from the plurality of clothes information, the user is also allowed to customize the clothes information of the clothes, which avoids the user from being unable to provide the clothes treatment system with correct clothes information of the clothes due to the fact that the clothes information selected by the user does not contain the clothes information of the clothes, ensures that the user can provide the clothes treatment system with correct information, and is beneficial to subsequent determination of the clothes treatment information according to the clothes information.

[0058] Preferably, the step of "determining clothes treatment information of the clothes according to the obtained clothes information" specifically comprises:

[0059] initially determining the clothes treatment information according to the obtained clothes information;

[0060] providing the user with the initially determined clothes treatment information for the user to confirm whether to agree to adopt.

[0061] The step of "selectively acquiring the user-defined clothes treatment information according to whether the clothes treatment information is successfully determined and determining the user-defined clothes treatment information as the clothes treatment information of the clothes" specifically includes: in the case that the user does not agree to adopt, acquiring the user-defined clothes treatment information and determining the user-defined clothes treatment information as the clothes treatment information of the clothes.

[0062] The step of "determining the clothes treatment information of the clothes according to the acquired clothes information" includes: in the case that the user agrees to adopt, determining the preliminarily determined clothes treatment information as the clothes treatment information of the clothes.

[0063] For "providing the preliminarily determined clothes treatment information to the user for confirmation of whether to agree to adopt", the touch panel can be used to display the preliminarily determined clothes treatment information and provide the options of "agree" or "disagree" so as to confirm whether to agree, or the voice broadcast module can be used to broadcast the preliminarily determined clothes treatment information to the user and prompt the user to confirm whether to adopt the clothes treatment information as the clothes treatment information corresponding to the clothes, the voice recognition module receives the voice of the user and determines whether the user agrees according to the voice content.

[0064] In the embodiment, after the clothes treatment information is preliminarily determined according to the clothes information, the clothes treatment information is provided to the user for confirmation of whether to agree, which is equivalent to adding a manual checking process after the clothes treatment information is preliminarily determined, so that the clothes treatment information of the clothes finally determined is more accurate and more suitable for the clothes, and the possibility of damage to the clothes caused by the clothes treatment information not matching the clothes is avoided.

[0065] Preferably, the control method further includes:

[0066] acquiring a first clothes image of the clothes;

[0067] After obtaining the clothes treatment information finally corresponding to the clothes, the first clothes image is stored in association with the clothes treatment information finally corresponding to the clothes.

[0068] If the clothes processing information acquisition unit adopts a camera, the first clothes image of the clothes can be acquired through the camera, and if the clothes processing information acquisition unit does not adopt a camera, an image acquisition unit for acquiring clothes images can be arranged in the clothes processing system to acquire the first clothes image of the clothes. The acquisition of the first clothes image of the clothes can be performed after the processing information of the clothes is finally determined, or can be performed before the clothes processing information corresponding to the clothes is acquired from the clothes processing information storage unit. In any case, the first clothes image of the clothes can be acquired before the first clothes image is stored in association with the clothes processing information finally corresponding to the clothes.

[0069] The foregoing control method of the present application can enable the clothes processing system to store a plurality of clothes images and the clothes processing information corresponding thereto in association. In this case, a subsequent user can determine the clothes processing information to be used in the current clothes processing process on the basis of the stored data before the clothes are processed by the clothes processing system. Preferably, after the step of "storing the first clothes image in association with the clothes processing information finally corresponding to the clothes", the control method further comprises:

[0070] acquiring a second clothes image of the clothes to be processed;

[0071] comparing the second clothes image with the first clothes image to determine whether they match;

[0072] determining the clothes processing information to be used in the clothes processing process of the clothes to be processed according to the clothes processing information associated with the first clothes image matching the second clothes image.

[0073] In the above, judging whether the second clothes image matches the first clothes image can specifically be determining the similarity of the second clothes image and the first clothes image, and if the similarity is greater than a preset value (which can be specifically set by a person skilled in the art according to actual conditions), it is determined that the two match, otherwise, it is determined that the two do not match. In the case where the number of second clothes images is one, if the number of first clothes images is multiple, the second clothes image can be compared with all the first clothes images in the database to determine whether they match, all the first clothes images matching the second clothes image are obtained, and the clothes processing information associated with these first clothes images is used to determine the clothes processing information used in the current clothes processing process. The second clothes image can also be compared with the first clothes images in the database one by one to determine whether they match, and once a first clothes image matching the second clothes image is obtained, the clothes processing information associated with the first clothes image is used as the clothes processing information used in the current clothes processing process. In the case where the number of second clothes images is multiple, each or some of the second clothes images can be compared with all the first clothes images in the database to determine whether they match, all the first clothes images matching these second clothes images are obtained, and the clothes processing information associated with these first clothes images is used to determine the clothes processing information used in the current clothes processing process. One of the second clothes images can also be compared with the first clothes images in the database to determine whether they match, and once a first clothes image matching the second clothes image is obtained, the clothes processing information associated with the first clothes image is used as the clothes processing information used in the current clothes processing process.

[0074] Preferably, the clothes processing information includes a force processing parameter value, which is the highest clothes processing parameter value that the corresponding clothes can withstand. For example, if the clothes processing parameter is the washing temperature, the corresponding force processing parameter value is the maximum washing temperature that the clothes can withstand, and if the clothes processing parameter is the drying temperature, the corresponding force processing parameter value is the maximum drying temperature that the clothes can withstand. The step of "determining the clothes processing information used by the clothes to be processed in the clothes processing process according to the clothes processing information associated with the first clothes image matching the second clothes image" specifically includes:

[0075] In the case where the clothes to be processed are multiple, the force processing parameter value that all the clothes to be processed can withstand among the clothes processing information associated with all the matched first clothes images is preliminarily determined as the clothes processing information used in the clothes processing process.

[0076] In the case that the clothes to be treated are one piece, the strong treatment parameter value of the first clothes image with the highest matching degree to the second clothes image among all the matched first clothes images is preliminarily determined as the clothes treatment information used in the clothes treatment process;

[0077] The user is provided with the strong treatment parameter value that all the clothes to be treated can bear for the user to confirm whether to agree to use;

[0078] In the case that the user agrees to use, the strong treatment parameter value is used as the clothes treatment information used in the clothes treatment process;

[0079] In the case that the user does not agree to use, the clothes treatment parameter value customized by the user is obtained as the clothes treatment information used in the clothes treatment process.

[0080] For the step of "preliminarily determining the strong treatment parameter value that all the clothes to be treated can bear among the clothes treatment information associated with all the matched first clothes images as the clothes treatment information used in the clothes treatment process", that is, comparing the second clothes image with all the first clothes images in the database to determine whether they match, obtaining all the first clothes images that match the second clothes image, for example, two first clothes images that match the second clothes image are obtained, taking the specific value of the washing temperature as an example, one of the first clothes images is associated with clothes treatment information in which the strong treatment parameter value of the washing temperature is 50 degrees Celsius, and the other first clothes image is associated with clothes treatment information in which the strong treatment parameter value of the washing temperature is 55 degrees Celsius. It can be seen that the strong treatment parameter value that the clothes corresponding to the above two first clothes images can bear is 50 degrees Celsius, so this temperature value is preliminarily determined as the clothes treatment information used in the clothes treatment process.

[0081] In the present embodiment, when the clothes to be treated are multiple pieces, the clothes treatment information preliminarily determined to be used in the clothes treatment process can take into account the bearing capacity of all the clothes to be treated, avoiding damage to the clothes to be treated in the clothes treatment process. In addition, after preliminarily determining the clothes treatment information used in the clothes treatment process, the user is further asked to determine whether to agree, which is equivalent to adding a manual review process, which makes the finally determined clothes treatment information more appropriate and further avoids damage to the clothes to be treated in the clothes treatment process.

[0082] In an alternative embodiment, the step of determining the laundry treatment information to be adopted in the laundry treatment process for the laundry to be treated according to the laundry treatment information associated with the first laundry image matched with the second laundry image specifically comprises: in the case where the laundry to be treated is multiple pieces, taking the value of the intensive treatment parameter that can be tolerated by all the laundry to be treated among the laundry treatment information associated with all the matched first laundry images as the laundry treatment information to be adopted in the laundry treatment process; in the case where the laundry to be treated is one piece, taking the value of the intensive treatment parameter of the first laundry image that is most matched with the second laundry image among all the matched first laundry images as the laundry treatment information to be adopted in the laundry treatment process.

[0083] Preferably, the control method further comprises:

[0084] providing the matched first laundry images to the user for selection during the laundry treatment process;

[0085] in the case where the user selects any matched first laundry image, changing the laundry treatment information to be adopted in the current laundry treatment process to the laundry treatment information associated with the selected first laundry image.

[0086] providing the matched first laundry images to the user for selection, which can be specifically displaying the matched first laundry images on the touch panel, and the user can select the first laundry image by clicking on the touch panel.
