[0049] The present application describes a plurality of embodiments, but the description is exemplary rather than limiting, and it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that there can be more embodiments and implementation solutions within the scope of the embodiments described in the present application. Although many possible combinations of features are shown in the drawings and discussed in the detailed description, many other combinations of the disclosed features are possible. Unless specifically limited, any feature or element of any embodiment can be utilized with any other feature or element of any other embodiment, or can replace any other feature or element in any other embodiment.

[0050] The present application includes and contemplates combinations of features and elements known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The presently disclosed embodiments, features and elements can also be combined with any conventional feature or element to form a unique application defined by the claims. Any feature or element of any embodiment can also be combined with features or elements from other application to form another unique application defined by the claims. Therefore, it is to be understood that any feature shown and / or discussed in the present application can be realized alone or in any appropriate combination. Thus, the embodiments are not to be limited by any of the foregoing unless otherwise specifically recited in the appended claims and equivalents thereof. Also, various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the appended claims.

[0051] Furthermore, in describing representative embodiments, the specification can have presented the method and / or process as a particular sequence of steps. However, to the extent that the method or process depends on more than one step, the method or process should not be limited to the particular sequence of steps described. Other sequences of steps can be possible, and are within the scope of the application. Thus, the particular sequence of steps set forth in the specification is not a limitation of the application. Additionally, the interchanging of steps in the method and / or process with other steps from that which are presented is also within the scope of the application.

[0052] In the related art, the structure of an existing intelligent toilet can be as shown in Figure 1 , including a power supply 11, an induction module 12, an MCU controller 13, an LED indicator 14, a flip motor driving circuit 15, and a flip motor 16.

[0053] After the intelligent toilet is powered on, the LED indicator of the foot sensor module is turned on, and irregular blue light is projected onto the ground. When the induction module senses that a human body is close, i.e., the human body is within the sensing range and has a demand to use the intelligent toilet, the MCU controller receives the signal of the induction module, and then controls the driving circuit of the flip motor to turn on the flip motor.

[0054] The related art has the following deficiencies in actual use scenarios.

[0055] The intelligent toilet is powered on all day, and the LED indicator is also turned on all day, which increases power consumption and reduces user experience.

[0056] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides an intelligent toilet control method, as shown in Figure 2 , the method comprises:

[0057] Step 201, in response to a user entering a first predetermined area, controlling a projection module to project; wherein the projection module is arranged to project an indication mark within a second predetermined area in the range of the intelligent toilet;

[0058] Step 202, receiving trigger information sensed in a sensing area; wherein the sensing area at least partially overlaps with the second predetermined area;

[0059] Step 203, controlling the intelligent toilet to perform a predetermined function based on the trigger information.

[0060] The intelligent toilet control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be executed by a control device in the intelligent toilet, such as a microcontroller unit (MCU), or other execution subjects, which is not limited herein.

[0061] The intelligent toilet in the intelligent toilet control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can include the following structure: a body with functional components, a sensing module, a projection module and a control device arranged on the body; wherein,

[0062] The sensing module can be configured to sense first human body information in the first predetermined area;

[0063] The projection module can be configured to project an indication mark to the second predetermined area;

[0064] The sensing module can also be configured to sense second human body information; wherein the second human body information is obtained when the overlapping part with the second predetermined area is sensed;

[0065] The control device is electrically connected with the sensing module, the projection module and the functional components, and can be configured to control the functional components to work based on the second human body information after the projection module is controlled to project according to the first human body information.

[0066] The intelligent toilet in the intelligent toilet control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can also include the following structure: a body with functional components, a sensing module, a projection module, a communication module and a control device arranged on the body; wherein,

[0067] The sensing module can be configured to sense first human body information in the first predetermined area;

[0068] The projection module can be configured to project an indication mark to the second predetermined area;

[0069] The communication module can be configured to receive second human body information; wherein the second human body information is obtained when the overlapping part with the second predetermined area triggers a communication function;

[0070] The control device is electrically connected with the induction module, the projection module, the communication module and the functional component, and can be configured to control the functional component to work based on the second human body information after the projection module projects according to the first human body information.

[0071] In actual application, the predetermined function can be a specific function, for example, a flushing function of a toilet, a cover opening function, i.e., a flip cover function, or an operation setting function, for example, a function of entering a specific gesture operation action.

[0072] When the specific function is implemented, the functional component included in the example intelligent toilet can be a water tank, and the control device is used to control the water tank to implement the flushing function. The functional component included in the intelligent toilet can also be a flip cover motor driving circuit and a flip cover motor, and the control device is used to control the flip cover motor driving circuit to drive the flip cover motor to rotate to a flip cover position, so as to realize the opening of the cover of the intelligent toilet.

[0073] In the intelligent toilet control method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the determination that the user enters the first predetermined area can be specifically performed by using a microwave induction module. The microwave induction module is a microwave induction module with a relatively high frequency, which can be used to sense the distance between the user and the intelligent toilet in real time. The frequency can be 60 GHZ. The microwave induction module with a frequency of 60 GHZ or above and the microwave induction module in the related art have consistent integration requirements. The signal cannot penetrate metal, so it needs to be installed in a plastic shell and exposed to the user's field of view through a small hole in the ceramic body for signal reception, user interaction, etc.

[0074] When the microwave induction module is used to determine that the user enters the first predetermined area, the user can be determined to move by using the distances obtained by the microwave induction module for M times in succession, and it can be determined that the user enters the first predetermined area according to the distances obtained for M times in succession and the first predetermined area, because the distances obtained for M times in succession all fall within the first predetermined area. M is an integer greater than 1.

[0075] This way of determining that the user enters the first predetermined area is not just to determine that the distance between the intelligent toilet and the user falls within the first predetermined area once, but to design a "delayed" projection, similar to the principle of "anti-mis-touch", to prevent the "mis-entry" situation that the user steps into the first predetermined area at a previous moment and then turns back, so as to avoid the problem of reduced service life of the projection module caused by frequent switching of the projection module.

[0076] The projection module can be used as an indication, and in addition to the LED control device, it also includes a plurality of lenses and pattern devices, etc. Because the light spot needs to be projected parallelly to the ground, it needs to be integrated at the small hole of the ceramic body.

[0077] The second predetermined area coinciding with the sensing area can better prompt the user to control the control range area of the smart toilet to execute the predetermined function. The projection module can project the enterprise logo or other customized patterns in advance on the ground under the irradiation of the LED lamp through the condenser lens, three or more light-transmitting lenses, and parallel projection.

[0078] The embodiment of the present application provides a smart toilet, as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 3 The smart toilet comprises a body having a functional component 31;

[0079] A first sensing module 32 arranged on the body is configured to sense first human body information of a first predetermined area;

[0080] A projection module 33 arranged on the body is configured to project an indication mark to a second predetermined area;

[0081] A second sensing module 34 arranged on the body is configured to sense second human body information; wherein the sensing area of the second sensing module at least partially overlaps with the second predetermined area;

[0082] A control device 35 arranged on the body is electrically connected with the first sensing module 32, the projection module 33, the second sensing module 34, and the functional component 31, and is configured to control the functional component 31 to work based on the second human body information after the projection module 33 projects the indication mark according to the first human body information. In an exemplary example, the response to the user entering the first predetermined area comprises:

[0083] The first human body information is sensed by the first sensing module arranged on the body of the smart toilet, and the user entering the first predetermined area is responded to according to the sensed first human body information.

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, the first sensing module can be arranged on the smart toilet as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 4 The first sensing module can also be arranged on a device (referred to as an external device) other than the smart toilet, such as a washstand in a washroom or a smart mirror in a washroom, as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 5 The first sensing module can also be arranged as an independent electronic device, as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 6

[0085] In the above embodiment, the connection mode of the first sensing module and the body of the smart toilet can be wired or wireless, and the present disclosure does not limit the connection mode.

[0086] ​In an example embodiment, the first sensing module can be a human presence sensor, including: an infrared sensor, a radar sensor, and an ultrasonic sensor. The infrared sensor is a common sensor that can detect human presence by detecting infrared emitted by the human body. Such a sensor has high detection accuracy and reliability, and has a small size and low cost. The radar sensor is a high-frequency sensor that can detect human presence by emitting electromagnetic waves and detecting reflected electromagnetic waves. Such a sensor has a long detection distance and high detection accuracy, and has a small size and high cost. The ultrasonic sensor is a sensor that uses ultrasonic waves for detection. It can detect human presence by emitting ultrasonic waves and detecting reflected ultrasonic waves. Such a sensor has a short detection distance and high detection accuracy, and has a large size and high cost.

[0087] In an example embodiment, the first predetermined area can be an area 2 meters from the intelligent toilet, and the second predetermined area can be an area between 5-20 cm from the intelligent toilet.

[0088] The intelligent toilet control method provided by the embodiments of the present application responds to the user entering the first predetermined area and controls the projection module to project. The projection module is arranged to project an indication mark in the second predetermined area within the range of the intelligent toilet. The receiving module receives trigger information sensed by the sensing module in the sensing area at least partially overlapping the second predetermined area. The intelligent toilet performs a predetermined function based on the trigger information. This realizes segmented control of the projection module of the intelligent toilet to project, and execution of the predetermined function of the intelligent toilet, avoiding the projection module from projecting all day long, thereby greatly reducing the power consumption caused thereby.

[0089] The intelligent toilet control method provided by the embodiments of the present application triggers control actions by distance information, triggers projection actions within a sensing range of 2 meters, enhances user interaction, and guides the user to trigger a predetermined function in a sensing area at least partially overlapping the projection range.

[0090] In an example embodiment, before receiving the trigger information sensed by the sensing area, the method further includes:

[0091] In response to the user leaving the first predetermined area, the projection module is controlled to stop projecting.

[0092] In the intelligent toilet control method provided by the embodiments of the present application, determining that the user has left the first predetermined area can also be performed by using a microwave sensing module.

[0093] In a specific application, when the microwave induction module determines that the user leaves the first predetermined area, the microwave induction module is used to obtain the distance N times in succession to determine that the user moves, and the distance obtained N times in succession is determined not to fall into the first predetermined area according to the distance obtained N times in succession and the first predetermined area, so as to determine that the user leaves the first predetermined area; wherein N is an integer greater than 1.

[0094] This way of determining that the user leaves the first predetermined area is not to determine that the user leaves the first predetermined area as long as the distance between the intelligent closestool and the user is determined not to fall into the first predetermined area once, but to design a "delay" to close the projection, similar to the principle of "anti-mis-touch", to prevent the "mis-out" situation that the user steps out of the first predetermined area and then returns, so as to avoid the problem of reducing the service life of the projection module caused by frequent opening and closing of the projection module.

[0095] In an exemplary example, after the control of the projection module to stop projection, the method further comprises:

[0096] starting a pre-set timer to time, and when the timing time reaches the preset time and the movement of the user in the first predetermined area is still not responded, controlling the projection module to stop projection.

[0097] The timer starts timing from 0 o'clock, and each time the distance is obtained by using the microwave induction module and the user is determined to move according to the obtained distance and the historical distance, the pre-set timer is reset, and the timer starts timing from 0 o'clock again; if the user is determined not to move according to the obtained distance and the historical distance, the timer is not operated, and the timer continues to time until the timing time of the timer reaches the preset time, and the projection module is controlled to stop projection.

[0098] The intelligent closestool control method provided by the embodiment of the application controls the projection module to project, and then continuously detects whether the user moves. If the user does not move, it indicates that the user is in the first predetermined area but has no demand to use the closestool, and the projection module is controlled to stop projection, so as to avoid the power consumption caused by the projection module always projecting.

[0099] In an exemplary example, after the control of the projection module to stop projection, the method further comprises:

[0100] In response to the user leaving the first predetermined area, the projection module is controlled to stop projection, and the intelligent closestool is controlled to return to the state before the predetermined function is executed.

[0101] In an example, the controlling the projection module to project in response to the user entering the first predetermined area comprises:

[0102] First, the distance between the user and the toilet is obtained multiple times within a predetermined time period;

[0103] Second, when it is determined that the user moves according to the distances obtained multiple times, and it is determined that the distances obtained multiple times all fall within the first predetermined area according to the distances obtained multiple times and the first predetermined area, the projection module is controlled to project.

[0104] In an example, the predetermined function comprises a cover opening function of the intelligent toilet.

[0105] The state before the predetermined function is executed comprises a cover closing state of the intelligent toilet.

[0106] The intelligent toilet control method provided by the embodiments of the present application triggers a control action by distance information segmentation, triggers a projection action within a sensing range of 2 meters, enhances user interaction, and at the same time, guides the user to use specific behavior actions similar to the foot-sensing cover opening function in a sensing area at least partially overlapping with the projection range; the sensing range is between 5-20 cm, and the intelligent toilet cover opening action is triggered, so that the user can normally use the toilet.

[0107] In an example, the receiving the trigger information sensed in the sensing area comprises:

[0108] The second human body information sensed in the sensing area by a second sensing module arranged on the intelligent toilet body is received, and when it is determined that the second human body information is trigger information triggering the predetermined function, the corresponding functional components of the intelligent toilet body are controlled to work.

[0109] In an example, the second sensing module comprises a foot-sensing module arranged at the bottom of the toilet body, and the second human body information sensed in the sensing area comprises foot action information sensed in the sensing area.

[0110] For example, the foot-sensing module arranged at the bottom of the intelligent toilet receives the foot action information sensed in the sensing area, and when it is determined that the foot action information is trigger information triggering the predetermined function, the corresponding functional components of the intelligent toilet body are controlled to work.

[0111] In an example, the receiving the trigger information sensed in the sensing area comprises:

[0112] The communication module arranged on the intelligent closestool body receives the second human body information received by the sensing area, and controls the corresponding functional components of the intelligent closestool body to work when the second human body information is determined as the trigger information triggering the predetermined function.

[0113] In an exemplary example, the second sensing module includes a foot sensing module arranged at the bottom of the closestool body, and the second human body information sensed by the sensing area includes foot action information sensed by the sensing area.

[0114] Illustratively, the foot sensing module can be a foot sensing sensor, which includes an infrared sensor, a capacitive sensor and a microwave sensor.

[0115] The embodiment of the present application further provides a control method of the intelligent closestool, as shown in the method, the steps include: Figure 7

[0116] Step 401, power on the entire detection control system.

[0117] Step 402, initialize the first range entering flag InFlag1, the second range entering flag InFlag2 and the first range exiting flag OutFlag1.

[0118] Step 403, the system constantly interrupts in 1S, when the human body enters the sensing range of 2 meters, InFlag1=InFlag1+1.

[0119] Step 404, determine whether InFlag1 is greater than T1; wherein T1 can be determined according to actual use conditions, and here a general value of 2S is temporarily set.

[0120] Step 405, when InFlag1>T1, it is determined that the human body enters the area where the intelligent closestool is located, and has a potential use demand for the intelligent closestool, and constantly interrupts in 1S, if the human body steps or kicks into the 5-20cm sensing range of the microwave module, i.e. the ground projection range of the intelligent LOGO, then InFlag2=InFlag2+1; if the human body leaves the 2m sensing range of the microwave module, then OutFlag1=OutFlag1+1.

[0121] After determining that the user has a potential use demand for the intelligent closestool, the LED lamp of the intelligent LOGO projection module automatically lights up, and the light spot with the enterprise LOGO is projected on the ground, and the light spot area is roughly coincided with the 5-20cm sensing area of the microwave sensing module, guiding the user to use the foot sensing cover function.

[0122] ​Step 406, when InFlag1≤T1, determine the invalid target or the interference human target. Then restart the loop, and determine whether the human enters the 2-meter sensing range every 1S.

[0123] Step 407, determine whether InFlag2 is greater than T2; wherein T2 can be determined according to actual use conditions, and here a general value of 1S is temporarily set.

[0124] Step 408, when InFlag2>T2, determine that the user needs to use the intelligent toilet, and the cover motor rotates to the specified position, and the intelligent toilet cover function is realized; at the same time, the interruption is determined every 1S to determine whether the human leaves the 2-meter sensing range of the microwave module, and then OutFlag1=OutFlag1+1.

[0125] Step 409, determine whether OutFlag1 is greater than T3; wherein T3 can be determined according to actual use conditions, and here a general value of 3S is temporarily set.

[0126] Step 410, when OutFlag1>T3, determine that the user leaves the 2-meter sensing range of the microwave sensing module, and does not need to use the intelligent toilet, and the cover motor rotates to the initialization position, that is, the intelligent cover is closed, and the LED lamp in the internal intelligent LOGO projection module is automatically turned off.

[0127] Step 411, when OutFlag1≤T3, determine the invalid target or the interference human target, and the user has no potential demand for using the intelligent toilet, and whether there is a demand for using the intelligent toilet needs to be further determined in the small loop.

[0128] The embodiment of the application provides a kind of intelligent toilet, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 8 The intelligent toilet includes: a body with functional components 51;

[0129] The sensing module 52 is arranged on the body, and is configured to sense the first human body information of the first predetermined area;

[0130] The projection module 53 is arranged on the body, and is configured to project the indication mark to the second predetermined area;

[0131] The sensing module 52 is further arranged to sense the second human body information; wherein the second human body information is obtained when the overlapping part with the second predetermined area is sensed;

[0132] The control device 54 is arranged on the body, and is electrically connected with the sensing module 52, the projection module 53 and the functional components 51, and is configured to control the projection module 53 to project according to the first human body information, and control the functional components 51 to work based on the second human body information.

[0133] In practical applications, a functional component is a component that realizes a predetermined function alone or in cooperation with other components, which can be one component or multiple components.

[0134] For example, when the predetermined function is a toilet cover opening function, the functional components can be a cover motor driving circuit and a cover motor, and a structural diagram of the intelligent toilet can be as shown in FIG. 9, including an induction module, a control device, a projection module, a cover motor driving circuit and a cover motor. The control device uses the induction module to sense first human body information in a first predetermined area, controls the projection module to project according to the first human body information, and then uses the induction module to sense second human body information (for example, foot operation) in the sensing area to control the cover motor driving circuit to drive the cover motor to rotate to a cover opening position, so as to realize the opening of the cover of the intelligent toilet.

[0135] In an exemplary example, the control device is further configured to control the projection module to stop projecting in response to the user leaving the first predetermined area.

[0136] In an exemplary example, the control device is further configured to start a pre-set timer to count time, and control the projection module to stop projecting when the counting time reaches a pre-set time without responding to the movement of the user in the first predetermined area.

[0137] In an exemplary example, the control device is further configured to control the projection module to stop projecting in response to the user leaving the first predetermined area, and control the intelligent toilet to return to a state before the predetermined function is executed.

[0138] In an exemplary example, the control device is further configured to obtain the distance between the user and the first predetermined area multiple times within a predetermined time period, and control the projection module to project when it is determined that the user moves according to the distances obtained multiple times, and it is determined that the distances obtained multiple times successively fall within the first predetermined area according to the distances obtained multiple times and the first predetermined area.

[0139] In an exemplary example, the predetermined function includes a cover opening function of the intelligent toilet.

[0140] The state before the predetermined function is executed includes a cover closing state of the intelligent toilet.

[0141] In an exemplary example, the control device is further configured to use a first induction module arranged on the body of the intelligent toilet to sense first human body information, and to respond to the user entering the first predetermined area according to the sensed first human body information.

[0142] In an example, the control device is further configured to receive second human body information sensed by a second sensing module arranged on the intelligent toilet body in a sensing area, and control a corresponding functional component of the intelligent toilet body to work when the second human body information is determined to be trigger information triggering the predetermined function.
