[0051] The above figures have shown the specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail in the following. These figures and text are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application by any means, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, unless otherwise indicated, like numbers in the different drawings represent similar or identical elements. The following exemplary embodiments described therein represent the best attempts at describing the embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. No undue emphasis should be placed on the detailed description below, as the disclosure seeks to cover all modifications, equivalents, combinations, sub-combinations, and alternatives falling within the true scope of the application.

[0053] At present, the washing machine usually issues a sound to remind the user that the clothes have been washed after completing the clothes washing program, and reminds the user to take out the clothes in time to avoid the user forgetting to take out the clothes, resulting in the washed clothes staying in the inner drum for a long time and not being able to be dried in time, which may cause damage to the clothes.

[0054] In the existing method of reminding the user to take out the clothes, the washing machine usually issues a sound to remind the user at the first time after completing the clothes washing program, for example, reminding the user once immediately after the washing machine completes the washing. However, after the washing machine completes the clothes washing program, the user may not be at home, or the user is in other rooms and cannot hear the reminder, or the user is busy with other things and has no time to take out the washed clothes. In these cases, the existing reminding method cannot achieve effective reminding effect.

[0055] Therefore, the present application provides a control method of a clothes processing apparatus, which detects a voice signal near the clothes processing apparatus, determines whether a user is approaching the clothes processing apparatus according to footstep sound in the voice signal, and if the user is approaching and the distance between the user and the clothes processing apparatus is less than a preset distance according to the footstep soundprint feature in the voice signal, it is determined that the user is currently near the clothes processing apparatus, and a clothes taking reminder is issued at this time, which can effectively remind the user to take out the clothes left in the clothes processing apparatus, thereby improving the effectiveness and intelligence of the clothes processing apparatus in reminding the user to take out the clothes.

[0056] The execution subject of the present application can be a clothes processing apparatus, or a processing chip of the clothes processing apparatus. If the execution subject is the clothes processing apparatus, the clothes processing apparatus can execute the method of the present application based on its own processing; if the execution subject is the processing chip of the clothes processing apparatus, the processing chip can execute the method of the present application by executing a program or code that implements the method. The clothes processing apparatus can be, for example, a washing machine, a dryer, a washing-drying integrated machine, etc. The execution subject of the present application can also be a cloud platform or a server in communication connection with the clothes processing apparatus, and the clothes processing apparatus obtains the required information or data through interaction with the cloud platform or the server for judgment and processing.

[0057] The following description uses a clothing processing device, specifically a washing machine, as an example to illustrate the application scenarios involved in the method of this application. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of a control method for a garment processing device provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this scenario may include: a washing machine and a target user.

[0058] This washing machine has a voice signal acquisition function. By collecting voice signals from sounds near the washing machine, it can determine the presence of footsteps and, based on these footsteps, whether the target user is approaching or moving away from the washing machine, as well as the distance between the target user and the washing machine. The washing machine can also determine whether to issue a clothes-retrieval reminder based on the distance between the target user and the washing machine, thus prompting the user to retrieve their clothes when they are relatively close. For example, if the washing machine determines that the user's distance to the washing machine is less than 2 meters based on the footstep voiceprint characteristics in the voice signal, it will issue a clothes-retrieval reminder, which could be a buzzer, voice reminder, or light reminder.

[0059] The following is based on Figure 1 Taking the scenario shown as an example, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail with reference to specific implementations. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0060] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a garment processing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0061] S201. Acquire the voice signal collected by the clothing processing equipment after the washing program is completed.

[0062] The garment processing device collects nearby voice signals via a sound acquisition module. These voice signals may include footsteps, user voice messages, and ambient noise from the vicinity of the garment processing device. The sound acquisition module is located on the garment processing device, for example, on its surface or inside the device. This application does not impose specific limitations on the location of the sound acquisition module.

[0063] One possible implementation is that the sound acquisition module is in the state of acquiring voice signals when the garment processing device is powered on. After the garment processing device completes the washing cycle, it begins to acquire the acquired voice signals from the sound acquisition module.

[0064] In another possible implementation, the laundry treating apparatus controls the sound collecting module to start collecting the voice signal and acquires the voice signal collected by the sound collecting module after completion of the washing program.

[0065] S202, whether there is a target user approaching the laundry treating apparatus is determined according to whether there is a footstep sound in the voice signal and a change in loudness of the footstep sound.

[0066] The laundry treating apparatus can analyze the voice signal to determine whether there is a footstep sound in the voice signal. For example, the laundry treating apparatus can determine whether there is a footstep sound in the voice signal by using a pre-trained sound recognition model. Specifically, the sound recognition model can identify a voiceprint feature corresponding to a different sound in the voice signal, and if the voiceprint feature of the footstep sound is included in the voice signal, it is determined that there is a footstep sound in the voice signal. The sound recognition model capable of recognizing the footstep sound can refer to the prior art, which will not be described here.

[0067] The laundry treating apparatus extracts the footstep sound from the voice signal and determines the loudness of the footstep sound, and judges the change in loudness of the footstep sound according to the loudness of the footstep sound and the corresponding time sequence. If the loudness of the footstep sound becomes larger and larger, it indicates that the target user is approaching the laundry treating apparatus; if the loudness of the footstep sound becomes smaller and smaller, it indicates that the target user is moving away from the laundry treating apparatus.

[0068] S203, if it is determined that there is a target user approaching the laundry treating apparatus, the voiceprint feature of the footstep sound of the target user at at least one time is acquired.

[0069] If it is determined that there is a target user approaching the laundry treating apparatus, it indicates that the target user is likely to approach the laundry treating apparatus, and therefore the voiceprint feature of the footstep sound of the target user at at least one time in the voice signal needs to be acquired to determine the distance between the target user and the laundry treating apparatus, so as to judge whether the target user is in the vicinity of the laundry treating apparatus. The laundry treating apparatus can acquire the voiceprint feature of the footstep sound of the target user at the at least one time from the voice signal. For example, the laundry treating apparatus can extract the voiceprint feature of the footstep sound of the target user by using Mel-Frequency Ceptral Coefficients (MFCC).

[0070] If it is determined that there is no target user approaching the laundry treating apparatus, or it is determined that the target user is moving away from the laundry treating apparatus, it indicates that the target user will not approach the laundry treating apparatus, and therefore the effectiveness of the clothes taking reminder is low at this time, so the laundry treating apparatus does not need to output the clothes taking reminder and needs to continue to acquire the voice signal in the vicinity.

[0071] S204, determine the distance between the target user and the clothes processing device at the at least one time according to the footstep voiceprint feature of the target user at the at least one time.

[0072] In a possible implementation, the clothes processing device can compare the footstep voiceprint feature with preset footstep voiceprint features in a database, so as to determine the distance between the target user corresponding to the footstep voiceprint feature and the clothes processing device at the time according to the distance associated with the preset footstep voiceprint features. The database can be preset in the clothes processing device.

[0073] In another possible implementation, the clothes processing device can include a preset model for calculating the distance corresponding to the footstep voiceprint feature, and the preset model can be a classification algorithm model trained by footstep voiceprint feature data of different distances. The clothes processing device determines the distance between the target user corresponding to the footstep voiceprint feature and the clothes processing device at the time according to the distance result output by the preset model by inputting the acquired footstep voiceprint feature into the preset model.

[0074] In another possible implementation, the database and the preset model in the above two implementations are both set on a cloud platform, and the clothes processing device uploads the footstep voiceprint feature to the cloud platform and acquires the distance corresponding to the footstep voiceprint feature from the cloud platform.

[0075] S205, if at least part of the distances between the target user and the clothes processing device at the at least one time is within a preset range of the clothes processing device, output a clothes taking reminder.

[0076] The preset range can be determined according to actual needs, for example, can be within 1 meter, within 2 meters, within 3 meters, and the like around the clothes processing device. The preset range can be preset in the bottom plate of the clothes processing device, or can be set by the user on the clothes processing device according to actual needs. When the user can set the preset range, the user can also adjust the preset range by operating the clothes processing device according to actual needs.

[0077] The part of the distances can be, for example, the distance at any one time within the preset range, or the distances at multiple times within the preset range. When the distances at multiple times are within the preset range, the multiple times can be preset or set by the user. In this case, the time for which the user needs to stay within the preset range reaches the sum of the multiple times, so as to avoid the target user only passing through the preset range for a short time, resulting in poor reminder effect of the clothes processing device and thus reducing the false reminder of the clothes processing device.

[0078] The clothes taking reminder may be, for example, a sound reminder emitted by a sound emitting device on the clothes treatment apparatus, such as a beeping sound emitted by a buzzer, or a voice reminder emitted by a voice device, or other sound emitted by other sound generating devices, etc. The clothes taking reminder may also be, for example, a reminder emitted by a light emitting device on the clothes treatment apparatus, such as a light emitted by an LED lamp on the outer wall of the clothes treatment apparatus, or a light emitted by a drum lamp in the inner drum of the clothes treatment apparatus, etc. The clothes taking reminder may also be, for example, a reminder given by other smart home devices connected to the clothes treatment apparatus, such as a smart speaker, a smart home central control device, etc.

[0079] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can effectively remind the user to take out the clothes left in the clothes treatment apparatus, thereby improving the effectiveness and intelligence of the clothes treatment apparatus in reminding the user to take out the clothes.

[0080] Next, taking the clothes treatment apparatus including a database storing preset footstep voiceprint features as an example, how to determine the distance between the target user and the clothes treatment apparatus at at least one time according to the footstep voiceprint features of the target user at the at least one time in step S204 is described in detail. Figure 3 Another flowchart of a control method of a clothes treatment apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, step S204 can further include: Figure 3

[0081] S301, for each footstep voiceprint feature, determining the similarity between the footstep voiceprint feature and each preset footstep voiceprint feature in the database.

[0082] After extracting the footstep voiceprint features of the target user, the clothes treatment apparatus calculates the similarity between the extracted footstep voiceprint features and each preset footstep voiceprint feature in the database to obtain a plurality of similarities. The method of calculating the similarity may be a cosine similarity calculation method.

[0083] S302, associating the distance corresponding to the preset footstep voiceprint feature with the maximum similarity as the distance between the target user corresponding to the footstep voiceprint feature and the clothes treatment apparatus.

[0084] ​The laundry treating apparatus determines a maximum similarity from similarities of a plurality of preset step soundprint features, and determines the distance between the target user and the laundry treating apparatus according to distance information associated with the preset step soundprint feature corresponding to the maximum similarity. The distance information associated with the preset step soundprint feature is pre-stored in a database.

[0085] Optionally, if the maximum similarity is less than a preset threshold, it indicates that the distance information corresponding to the step soundprint feature is not stored in the laundry treating apparatus, and the laundry treating apparatus can send the step soundprint feature to a server. The server calculates the similarity of the step soundprint feature and the stored preset soundprint features, and then obtains preset step soundprint features in a front rank (the preset step soundprint features are ranked in order from large to small according to the similarity), each obtained preset step soundprint feature is associated with distance information on the server, so that the distance information corresponding to each preset step soundprint feature can be determined, and the server feeds back the distance information to the washing machine.

[0086] The method provided by the embodiment of the application determines the distance between the target user and the laundry treating apparatus represented by the distance information associated with the preset step soundprint feature corresponding to the maximum similarity by comparing the similarity of the step soundprint feature and the preset step soundprint features in the database, so that the distance corresponding to the step soundprint feature in the voice signal is quickly and accurately determined, and a judgment basis is provided for the subsequent output of the laundry treating apparatus to provide a taking reminder.

[0087] Since the use environment of the laundry treating apparatus usually includes more than one user, for example, the use environment of the laundry treating apparatus is a family environment, and may include an old person, an adult, and a child. In this environment, not all users can take out the laundry from the laundry treating apparatus. Therefore, the identity of the target user can be further judged, for example, the use authority of the target user is judged, to improve the effectiveness of the output of the taking reminder. Figure 4 Another flowchart of a control method of a laundry treating apparatus is provided by the embodiment of the application. Figure 3 As shown in the implementation manner, Figure 4 Before the laundry treating apparatus outputs the taking reminder, the method can further include:

[0088] S401, determining whether the target user has the authority to use the laundry treating apparatus. If the target user has the authority to use the laundry treating apparatus, performing step S402; if the target user does not have the authority to use the laundry treating apparatus, not outputting the taking reminder.

[0089] Implementation manner A: determined according to the step soundprint feature.

[0090] The clothes processing device determines whether the target user has the permission to use the clothes processing device according to the target user permission information associated with the preset step soundprint feature corresponding to the maximum similarity.

[0091] The preset step soundprint feature is recorded in advance by the user operating the clothes processing device. The step soundprint features of different users are different, so different users can be associated with different permission information through the preset step soundprint feature. The way of determining the target user permission information through the similarity between the step soundprint feature and the preset step soundprint feature is similar to the way of determining the distance information through the similarity between the step soundprint feature and the preset step soundprint feature, which will not be repeated here. For example, it is set that children do not have the use permission. If it is determined through the foot soundprint information that the target user is a child, it is determined that the target user does not have the permission to use the clothes processing device.

[0092] Optionally, if the maximum similarity is less than a preset threshold, it indicates that the target user has not recorded his / her preset step soundprint feature, and the target user can be considered as a user without the permission to use the clothes processing device.

[0093] Implementation manner B: according to the image of the target user.

[0094] S4011, obtaining the image of the target user.

[0095] The image of the target user can be obtained through an image acquisition device on the clothes processing device, which can be a camera, a camera, etc.

[0096] S4012, determining the age range to which the target user belongs and / or whether the image of the target user matches the pre-stored image of the user with permission according to the image of the target user.

[0097] The age range can be determined according to an existing image recognition algorithm and the image of the target user. The image recognition algorithm can be any existing algorithm for predicting the age of a user through the image of the user, for example, the age can be predicted through the facial features of the user or the height features, etc., which is not limited in the present application.

[0098] By matching the image of the target user and the pre-stored image of the user with permission, it is determined whether the target user is one of the users with permission. If the target user is one of the users with permission, the permission information of the target user is determined. The matching algorithm can refer to the prior art, which is not limited in the present application.

[0099] S4013、If the target user belongs to a preset age group and / or matches a pre-stored user image with permission, it is determined that the target user has permission to use the clothes processing device.

[0100] Optionally, whether to have the use permission can be determined only by the age group. If the age group belongs to a preset age group, the target user has permission to use the clothes processing device. For example, the preset age group is 16-50 years old, and the target user belongs to the age group of 20-25 years old, and the target user has permission to use the clothes processing device.

[0101] Optionally, whether to have the use permission can be determined only by the pre-stored user image with permission. If the target user matches the pre-stored user image with permission with a matching degree greater than a matching preset threshold, the target user has permission to use the clothes processing device. The matching preset threshold can be determined according to actual needs.

[0102] Optionally, whether to have the use permission is determined by the age group and the pre-stored user image with permission. First, it is determined whether the age group of the target user is an age group with permission to use, and if so, further accurate determination is made on whether the user has permission to use.

[0103] S402, output the clothes taking reminder.

[0104] In one possible implementation, if the target user has permission to use the clothes processing device, it is further determined whether to output the clothes taking reminder according to whether the reminding condition is met. The reminding condition includes that the time length of being located within the preset range of the clothes processing device is greater than a first preset time length, and / or the current time is located in a preset time period.

[0105] The time length of the target user being located within the preset range is determined by each time corresponding to the footstep sound feature located within the preset range. If it is greater than the first preset time length, it indicates that the user stays near the clothes processing device for a long time, and the effectiveness of the clothes taking reminder at this time is higher. If it is less than the first preset time length, it indicates that the user stays for a short time, and the effectiveness of the reminder is lower.

[0106] The preset time period can be a pre-set reminding time period, which can be set by the user, indicating that the user wants to start the clothes taking reminder function involved in the method in this time period, and no reminding is performed outside the time period, so as to avoid disturbing the user. If the current time is located in the preset time period, the clothes taking reminder is output; if not, the clothes taking reminder is not output.

[0107] In another possible implementation, if the user has permission to use the clothes processing device, the clothes taking reminder is directly output.

[0108] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application further judges the use permission of the target user and whether the target user meets the reminding condition through comparison of the footstep feature and / or the image of the target user, and outputs the clothes taking reminder only to the target user who has the use permission of the clothes processing apparatus or outputs the clothes taking reminder when the target user who has the use permission meets the reminding condition, thereby further improving the effectiveness of the output of the clothes taking reminder.

[0109] Figure 5 Another flowchart of the control method of the clothes processing apparatus is provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in the figure, before the voice signal collected by the clothes processing apparatus after completion of the clothes washing operation is acquired, the method can further include: Figure 5

[0110] S501, after the clothes processing apparatus completes the washing program, it is detected whether the clothes in the clothes processing apparatus are taken away. If the clothes in the clothes processing apparatus are not taken away within a second preset time length, step S502 is performed; if the clothes in the clothes processing apparatus are taken away within the second preset time length, the sound detection function is not started.

[0111] In one possible implementation, whether the clothes are taken away is determined by detecting whether the drum door of the clothes processing apparatus is opened after the clothes processing apparatus completes the washing program.

[0112] In another possible implementation, whether the clothes are taken away is determined by detecting whether there are clothes in the inner drum of the clothes processing apparatus after the clothes processing apparatus completes the washing program. The detection of whether there are clothes in the inner drum can be performed by image recognition technology, for example, which can be referred to in the prior art, and the present application will not be repeated here.

[0113] S502, the sound detection function of the clothes processing apparatus is started to collect the voice signal.

[0114] The second preset time length can be set according to actual needs, and the present application does not limit it. The clothes processing apparatus can detect according to a preset time interval after completion of the washing program, and if the clothes are still detected to be not taken away after the second preset time length, the sound detection function is started. The clothes processing apparatus can also time after completion of the washing program, and if the timing reaches the second preset time length, it is detected, and if the clothes are detected to be not taken away, the sound detection function is started.

[0115] ​Optionally, before starting the sound detection function of the clothes processing apparatus, the method can further include determining whether to start the sound detection function according to the available time of the sound detection function. In this implementation, the available time of the sound detection function is obtained, and the current time is obtained. The available time can be determined by the user according to actual needs, and if the current time is within the available time of the sound detection function, the sound detection function is started. The user can avoid being disturbed by the clothes taking reminder when he or she does not want to receive the reminder by setting the available time.

[0116] The method provided in the application can detect whether the clothes in the clothes processing apparatus are taken away after the clothes processing apparatus completes the washing program. If the clothes are not taken away within the second preset time length, it indicates that the user forgets to take away the clothes, and the sound detection function needs to be started to achieve the application Figure 2 to Figure 4 The described method can intelligently remind the user to take clothes. If the user takes the clothes in time, the sound detection function is not started, the false reminding is avoided, and the effectiveness and intelligence of the clothes taking reminder are improved.

[0117] Figure 6 A structural schematic diagram of a control device of a clothes processing apparatus provided in an embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in the figure, the device can include an acquisition module 11, a processing module 12, and a reminding module 13. Figure 6

[0118] The acquisition module 11 is configured to acquire a voice signal collected by the clothes processing apparatus after the clothes processing apparatus completes a washing program.

[0119] The processing module 12 is configured to determine whether a target user approaches the clothes processing apparatus according to whether there is a footstep sound in the voice signal and a change in loudness of the footstep sound. If it is determined that the target user approaches the clothes processing apparatus, the processing module 12 acquires a footstep soundprint feature of the target user at at least one time point. The processing module 12 determines a distance between the target user and the clothes processing apparatus at the at least one time point according to the footstep soundprint feature of the target user at the at least one time point.

[0120] The reminding module 13 is configured to output a clothes taking reminder if at least part of the distances between the target user and the clothes processing apparatus at the at least one time point is within a preset range of the clothes processing apparatus.

[0121] In a possible implementation, the processing module 12 is specifically configured to determine, for each footstep soundprint feature, a similarity between the footstep soundprint feature and each preset footstep soundprint feature in a database. A distance associated with a preset footstep soundprint feature corresponding to a maximum similarity is taken as a distance between the target user corresponding to the footstep soundprint feature and the clothes processing apparatus.

[0122] ​In this implementation, the processing module 12 is further configured to determine whether the target user has the permission to use the clothes processing device before the reminding module 13 outputs the clothes taking reminder. The reminding module 13 is configured to output the clothes taking reminder if the target user has the permission to use the clothes processing device. In this implementation, if the target user has the permission to use the clothes processing device, the processing module 12 is configured to determine whether the reminding condition is met. The reminding module 13 is configured to output the clothes taking reminder if the reminding condition is met. The reminding condition includes that the time length of being located within the preset range of the clothes processing device is greater than the first preset time length and / or the current time is located in the preset time period.

[0123] In this implementation, the processing module 12 is configured to determine whether the target user has the permission to use the clothes processing device according to the target user permission information associated with the preset footstep voiceprint feature corresponding to the maximum similarity.

[0124] For how to determine whether the target user has the permission to use the clothes processing device, in one possible implementation, the acquisition module 11 is configured to acquire an image of the target user. The processing module 12 is configured to determine the age range to which the target user belongs and / or whether the target user is matched with the pre-stored image of the user having the permission according to the image of the target user. If the target user belongs to the preset age range and / or is matched with the pre-stored image of the user having the permission, it is determined that the target user has the permission to use the clothes processing device.

[0125] In any of the above implementations, the processing module 12 is further configured to detect whether the clothes in the clothes processing device are taken away after the clothes processing device completes the washing program before the acquisition module 11 acquires the voice signal collected by the clothes processing device after completing the washing operation. If the clothes in the clothes processing device are not taken away within the second preset time length, the sound detection function of the clothes processing device is started to collect the voice signal.

[0126] In this implementation, the processing module 12 is further configured to acquire the available time of the sound detection function and the current time before starting the sound detection function of the clothes processing device. If the current time is within the available time of the sound detection function, the sound detection function is started
