[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the specific embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present application, not all of the contents, are shown in the accompanying drawings. Before discussing the exemplary embodiments in more detail, it should be mentioned that some exemplary embodiments are described as processes or methods depicted as flow charts. Although the flow charts describe each operation (or step) as a sequential process, many of the operations therein can be implemented in parallel, concurrently or simultaneously. In addition, the order of each operation can be rearranged. The process can be terminated when its operation is completed, but may also have additional steps not included in the accompanying drawings. The process can correspond to a method, function, procedure, subroutine, subprogram, etc.

[0049] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," and the like are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects; for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, the term "and / or" in the specification and claims refers to at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects connected are in an "or" relationship.

[0051] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the linkage control method, device, equipment and medium for smart appliances surrounding laundry equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the linkage control method of the laundry equipment peripheral smart appliances provided in the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0054] S101, obtaining a trigger message for using a laundry device sent by a user;

[0055] First, this application is applicable to scenarios where users use laundry appliances. Based on the above usage scenarios, it can be understood that the execution subject of this application can be the main controller of the laundry appliance, or a server or external intelligent control device used to control the laundry appliance, such as a smartphone, a tablet computer, and a user's intelligent wearable device, such as a smart watch, smart glasses, and a smart bracelet.

[0056] The usage trigger information may be information indicating that the user needs to use the laundry device. For example, if the user approaches the laundry device and operates the laundry device, it is determined that the user needs to use the laundry device. Alternatively, if the user approaches the laundry device and opens the door of the laundry device, it is determined that the user needs to use the laundry device.

[0057] In this solution, identifying a user's intention to use the laundry appliance can also be determined from the user's behavior or verbal content. This can include data collected by a distance sensor or by devices connected to the laundry appliance. For example, the microphone on a smartphone connected to the laundry appliance can capture the user's voice message "wash clothes" or "open the washing machine door." Furthermore, the data used to identify the user's intention to use the laundry appliance can include at least one of image perception data, sound perception data, and gesture perception data. Image perception data can be captured by a camera mounted above the laundry appliance. After capturing the image data, it can be transmitted to the laundry appliance's microprocessor for image recognition. Sound perception data can be captured by a microphone mounted above the laundry appliance. After capturing the sound data, it can be transmitted to the laundry appliance's microprocessor for voice and semantic recognition. Gesture perception data can be recognized by a gesture sensor mounted above the laundry appliance. For example, recognizing a user's hand sliding from the right to the left can be determined as a command to open the door. Each type of external perception data can be used individually for recognition, or two or more of these can be used in conjunction to improve the accuracy of the recognition results.

[0058] In a feasible embodiment, optionally, the usage trigger information includes: information that the door of the laundry device is open, or information that clothes are placed at a preset location around the laundry device.

[0059] Information about the laundry appliance door being open can be collected by sensors installed on the door. Information about the laundry placed at preset locations around the laundry appliance can be obtained through image data or data identified by a weight sensor. For example, the preset location can be the top of the washing machine or a location next to the washing machine specifically for placing laundry.

[0060] In this solution, external sensors can be used to detect the presence of laundry equipment door openings and clothing placed in preset locations. For example, a rotation angle sensor at the door hinge can detect the door's rotation angle. If the rotation angle is not 0° or is greater than a certain threshold, a trigger is determined to have been detected. Similarly, a weight sensor or image sensor can be used to detect the presence of clothing in preset locations. If so, a trigger is determined to have been detected.

[0061] This solution, by identifying usage trigger information, can more accurately understand the events in which users need to use laundry equipment, improve the accuracy of recognition results, provide accurate data for subsequent linkage control, avoid erroneous triggering of linkage control that affects user experience, and improve the user's overall experience of using laundry equipment.

[0062] S102, acquiring ambient environment information of the laundry device according to the usage trigger information; wherein the ambient environment information includes at least one of brightness information, temperature information, and obstacle information;

[0063] In this solution, ambient environmental information can include information about the room where the laundry machine is located, such as wind speed information. This ambient environmental information can be used to measure the user's experience of operating the laundry machine, and can therefore include information related to temperature. For example, if a user needs to use a laundry machine on a balcony in the winter evening, the ambient temperature around the machine is likely to be low. Operating the machine in front of the machine could be adversely affected by the low temperature. In this case, ambient environmental information can be collected and linked control measures can be implemented to improve the user's experience with the laundry machine.

[0064] In this solution, the surrounding environment information includes at least one of brightness information, temperature information, and obstacle information. Brightness information can be the brightness of the room where the laundry appliance is located, which can be represented by ambient light illuminance. This brightness information can be collected using an illuminance sensor. Temperature information can be the temperature of the room where the laundry appliance is located, which can be represented by degrees Celsius. This temperature information can be collected using a temperature sensor. Obstacle information can be the density of obstacles on the floor of the room where the laundry appliance is located. This can be represented by the density of obstacles on the floor. An image sensor can be used to capture and identify floor image data, and then obtain information about the obstacle density. In one example, the obstacle information can include paper and debris on the bathroom floor, toys and paper scraps on the balcony floor, etc. By identifying obstacles, this solution can prevent users from accidentally stepping on obstacles and slipping, thereby improving the safety of users during laundry use.

[0065] S103, determining a target smart appliance according to the surrounding environment information;

[0066] In this solution, the target smart appliances can be different or the same depending on the surrounding environment information. For example, if the surrounding environment information shows a low temperature or high humidity, the electronic heating device can be selected as the target smart appliance.

[0067] The target smart appliance can be an appliance that can improve environmental information during execution. The appliance can be connected to a laundry appliance in a networked control network, or can receive control instructions from the laundry appliance, or can receive control instructions from a smart control terminal to control the appliance, thereby improving the environmental information of the laundry appliance.

[0068] In this solution, it is understood that target smart appliances can include bathroom lights, lights attached to laundry appliances, bathroom electric heaters, balcony lights, balcony electric heaters, and so on. The specific selection of target smart appliances can be determined based on the placement of the laundry appliance. For example, if the laundry appliance is placed on the balcony, the appliances surrounding the balcony can be targeted. If the laundry appliance is placed in the bathroom, the appliances within the bathroom can be targeted.

[0069] It should be noted that in this solution, the target smart appliance must correspond to the collected ambient environment information. For example, if the collected ambient environment information indicates a low temperature and all other conditions are normal, the target smart appliance is determined to be a heating device. For example, if the collected ambient environment information indicates a low brightness and all other conditions are normal, the target smart appliance is determined to be a lighting device.

[0070] S104: Sending a control instruction to the target smart appliance to control the operating parameters of the target smart appliance.

[0071] In this solution, the main controller or microprocessor of the laundry appliance may issue a control instruction to the target smart appliance, or the smart control device connected to the laundry appliance may issue a control instruction to the target smart appliance. The control instruction may be sent by wired or wireless means, for example, the control instruction may be sent to a home appliance control center, such as a central control box, via a smart phone, and then the home appliance control center issues a control instruction to the target smart appliance. Here, after determining the target smart appliance, the identity information of the target smart appliance may be determined, such as the target smart appliance ID (Identity document), and the control instruction may be issued through the target smart appliance ID so that the control instruction can accurately act on the target smart appliance. It is understandable that after determining the target smart appliance, the network address of the target smart appliance in the appliance network may also be obtained, and the control instruction may be issued based on the network address.

[0072] The operating parameters of the target smart appliance can be its operating state parameters, such as off or on, or operating power parameters, such as low power operation or high power operation, or other control parameters, such as the target temperature of the heating device, the target brightness of the lighting device, etc.

[0073] In this solution, the control instruction may include the target smart appliance ID and its target operating parameters, or may not include the target operating parameters and operate with the default operating parameters of the target smart appliance. For example, the control instruction may only include: turn on the light 0003.

[0074] Through such control, this solution can improve the temperature, brightness and cleanliness of the environment by controlling the target smart appliances before or while the user uses the laundry device, thereby improving the user's experience of using the laundry device.

[0075] Taking the smart light as an example, the code to control it is as follows:

[0076] #Define device status

[0077] light_status="off"

[0078] #Control function

[0079] def control_device(command):

[0080] global light_status

[0081] if command=="on":

[0082] light_status="on"

[0083] print("The light is on")

[0084] elif command=="off":

[0085] light_status="off"

[0086] print("Light is off")

[0087] #Issue control instructions

[0088] control_device("on");

[0089] This is a basic example. In actual applications, communication and control with specific devices are much more complex and require writing corresponding code based on the specific hardware and communication protocols.

[0090] The technical solution provided in this embodiment obtains a user's trigger information for using a laundry appliance; obtains information about the surrounding environment of the laundry appliance based on the trigger information; wherein the surrounding environment information includes at least one of brightness information, temperature information, and obstacle information; determines a target smart appliance based on the surrounding environment information; and issues a control instruction to the target smart appliance to control the operating parameters of the target smart appliance. When a user needs to use the laundry appliance, this technical solution identifies information about the surrounding environment of the laundry appliance and controls the corresponding linked devices based on the identification results. This eliminates the need for the user to manually perform other complex operations during the use of the laundry appliance, thereby improving the convenience of using the laundry appliance and enhancing the user's overall experience.

[0091] In a feasible embodiment, optionally, the method further includes:

[0092] In response to the appliance adding instruction, the appliance to be added is used as a linked smart appliance of the laundry device;

[0093] Obtaining the associated parameters of the linked smart appliance;

[0094] The associated parameters in the surrounding environment information of the laundry device are monitored, so as to generate a control instruction for the linked intelligent appliance when the monitoring finds that the control conditions are met.

[0095] For example, if a user adds a new appliance to the room where the laundry machine is located, or replaces an existing appliance with a new one, the user may need to add the new appliance to the linkage control range. In this case, the user can issue an appliance addition command on the display panel of the laundry machine or on a smartphone to add the new appliance (i.e., the appliance to be added) as a linked smart appliance of the laundry machine.

[0096] The linked smart appliance may be an appliance that can respond to a linked control instruction. The linked smart appliance may be used as a candidate appliance for the actual control process and may be determined as a target smart appliance when it is determined that it needs to be controlled.

[0097] The associated parameters of the linked smart appliance may be acquired to determine the parameters that affect the environment of the laundry device when the linked smart appliance is operating. For example, the associated parameters may be temperature parameters, humidity parameters, ambient illumination parameters, and noise parameters.

[0098] In this solution, the associated parameters can be obtained by determining the properties of the linked smart appliances themselves, or by using an appliance operation recognition model. For example, the appliance operation recognition model can identify that the operation of a particular appliance affects the brightness, temperature, and humidity of the environment, and thus determine the associated parameters of the linked smart appliances.

[0099] This solution can monitor the associated parameters in the surrounding environment information of the laundry appliance and generate control instructions for the linked smart appliances when the monitoring determines that a control condition is met. The control condition can be determined to be met by, for example, low ambient brightness, high or low ambient temperature, or excessive dust particles. Accordingly, the linked smart appliances can be controlled to increase ambient brightness, decrease ambient temperature, increase ambient temperature, or reduce dust particles by vacuuming.

[0100] Through such a setting, this solution can add or delete operations in existing linked smart appliances, and can control more linked smart appliances when the user uses the laundry equipment, so as to improve the user's comfort in the process of using the laundry equipment.

[0101] On the basis of the above technical solutions, optionally, the method further includes:

[0102] When it is identified that the operating state of the laundry device meets the adjustment condition, the operating state of the target smart appliance is controlled to be adjusted in an associated manner.

[0103] Among them, the operating status of the laundry device can be identified as the laundry device being turned on or off, or being in a state of a preset time after being turned on, such as the laundry device starting to run for 2 minutes, or running to a certain link, such as running to the spin-drying link of the laundry program.

[0104] When the operating state of the laundry device meets the adjustment conditions, the operating state of the target smart appliance is controlled to be adjusted in a related manner.

[0105] Here, the associated adjustment of the working state of the target smart appliance may be turning off the target smart appliance, reducing the operating power of the target smart appliance, or restarting the target smart appliance, etc.

[0106] For example, when a user uses the laundry machine, before putting clothes in the machine, the lighting is turned on for the user. During the normal operation of the laundry machine, it can be considered that the adjustment conditions are met and the lighting is turned off. Alternatively, it can be considered that the adjustment conditions are met when the laundry machine reaches the spin-drying stage of the laundry program, and the lighting is turned on again. Correspondingly, it can be determined that the adjustment conditions are met when the laundry machine has been running for a set time. For example, the heater can be turned off 2 minutes after the laundry machine starts running. Furthermore, it can be determined that the adjustment conditions are met and the heater can be turned back on 2 minutes before the end of the laundry program. In addition, it can also be determined that the ambient temperature has reached the set temperature. For example, when the ambient temperature reaches 23°, the heater's operating power can be reduced or the heater can be turned off.

[0107] Through such a setting, this solution can not only realize the power-on control of the target smart appliances, but also shut down or reduce the working power of the target smart appliances when the user does not need them. This achieves the purpose of energy saving while meeting the actual needs of the user, improves the fit between the control of the appliances and the actual needs of the user, and improves the overall user experience.

[0108] Example 2

[0109] Figure 2This is a flow chart of the linkage control method for smart appliances around a laundry device provided in Example 2 of the present application. This solution makes a better improvement to the above embodiment, specifically as follows: determining the target smart appliance based on the surrounding environment information, including: when the brightness information is lower than the set brightness threshold, determining the lighting device in the preset direction of the laundry device as the target smart appliance; and / or, when the temperature information is lower than the set temperature threshold, determining the heating device within the preset distance of the laundry device as the target smart appliance; and / or, when the obstacle information exceeds the set obstacle density threshold, determining the cleaning device as the target smart appliance. And, issuing a control instruction to the target smart appliance to control the working parameters of the target smart appliance, including: issuing a control instruction to the lighting device to control the lighting device to switch from an off state to an on state; and / or, issuing a control instruction to the heating device to control the heating device to switch from an off state to an on state; and / or, issuing a control instruction to the cleaning device to control the cleaning device to switch from a standby state to an operating state.

[0110] like Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0111] S201, obtaining a usage trigger message for a laundry appliance sent by a user;

[0112] S202, acquiring ambient environment information of the laundry device according to the use trigger information; wherein the ambient environment information includes at least one of brightness information, temperature information, and obstacle information; and executing one or more of S203, S204, and S205;

[0113] S203: If the brightness information is lower than a set brightness threshold, determining the lighting device in the preset direction of the laundry device as a target smart appliance; and executing S206;

[0114] Indoor brightness information has the following characteristics: It has a wide range, typically ranging from a few lux in dark corners to hundreds or even thousands of lux near light sources. Generally speaking, under normal indoor lighting conditions, brightness may range from tens to hundreds of lux. Brightness varies significantly between different areas. For example, areas under lights are noticeably brighter, while areas farther from the light source are relatively darker. Living areas such as living rooms and bedrooms tend to have a more moderate brightness to create a comfortable atmosphere, while studies and workspaces may require brighter light for reading, working, and other needs. Natural lighting also affects indoor brightness. Direct sunlight during the day significantly increases indoor brightness, while on cloudy days or at night, artificial lighting is primarily used to provide brightness. Brightness requirements for different functional areas in a room also vary.

[0115] If the ambient brightness is below a set brightness threshold, such as 30 lux, the lighting device can be identified as the target smart appliance. It should be noted that the laundry environment may contain multiple lighting devices. The lighting device directly in front of the laundry device can be identified as the target smart appliance. Turning on the lighting device can help increase the brightness of the laundry device, creating a more comfortable ambient brightness when the user is loading clothes or operating the laundry device.

[0116] S204: If the temperature information is lower than the set temperature threshold, determine that the heating device within the preset distance of the laundry device is a target smart appliance; and execute S207;

[0117] The preset temperature threshold can be a lower temperature threshold, such as 18°C. That is, when the temperature information is lower than 18°C, the heating device can be determined to be the target smart appliance. Furthermore, it should be noted that the heating device needs to be within a preset distance, such as 5 meters, from the target smart device, or in the same room as the target smart device, such as on a balcony or in a bathroom, to ensure that the operation of the heating device can increase the ambient temperature of the laundry environment.

[0118] S205: If the obstacle information exceeds the set obstacle density threshold, the cleaning device is determined to be the target smart appliance; and S208 is executed;

[0119] The cleaning equipment may include a sweeping robot, an intelligent robot, etc. If the obstacle information identified exceeds a set obstacle density threshold, for example, the number of obstacles within 1 square meter exceeds 4, it can be determined that the set obstacle density threshold is exceeded. In this case, the cleaning equipment can be designated as a target intelligent appliance.

[0120] S206, issuing a control instruction to the lighting device to control the lighting device to switch from an off state to an on state;

[0121] In this solution, after determining that the lighting device is the target smart appliance, a control instruction can be sent to the lighting device to control the lighting device to switch from an off state to an on state. By turning on the lighting device, the ambient brightness of the laundry device can be improved.

[0122] S207, issuing a control instruction to the heating device to control the heating device to switch from an off state to an on state;

[0123] In this solution, after determining that the heating device is the target smart appliance, a control instruction can be sent to the heating device to control the heating device to switch from an off state to an on state. By turning on the heating device, the ambient temperature of the laundry device can be increased.

[0124] S208: Send a control instruction to the cleaning device to control the cleaning device to switch from the standby state to the running state.

[0125] In this solution, after determining that the cleaning device is the target smart appliance, a control instruction can be sent to the cleaning device to control the cleaning device to switch from standby state to running state. By controlling the operation of the cleaning device, obstacles in the environment of the laundry device can be removed to ensure the cleanliness of the ground around the laundry device.

[0126] The technical solution provided in this embodiment can improve the environmental information in the environment where the laundry equipment is located that is likely to affect the user's experience by confirming the target smart appliance and the specific control method of the target smart appliance, thereby improving the user's comfort during the use of the laundry equipment and improving the user's experience.

[0127] Based on the above technical solutions, optionally, issuing a control instruction to the target smart appliance to control the operating parameters of the target smart appliance further includes:

[0128] issuing a control instruction to the lighting device to control the lighting device to switch from a low-power operation state to a high-power operation state, or to control the lighting device to switch from a first angle lighting state to a second angle lighting state;

[0129] and / or,

[0130] issuing a control instruction to the heating device to control the heating device to switch from heating to a first temperature to heating to a second temperature; wherein the second temperature is greater than the first temperature;
