[0038] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein, which are instead provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment"; the term "another embodiment" means "at least one other embodiment"; the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments". Relevant definitions of other terms will be given in the description below. It should be noted that the concepts of "first", "second", etc. mentioned in this disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order or interdependence of the processes performed by these devices, modules or units.

[0040] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "plurality" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0041] In order to solve the problem that setting a camera in a clothing processing device will result in a high manufacturing cost of the clothing processing device and a low camera utilization rate, resulting in that determining a target cleaning procedure for clothes to be cleaned based on photographing the clothes to be cleaned has not been fully commercialized, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a new control method. The new control method avoids installing another camera in the clothing processing device by reusing the camera of a floor cleaning device.

[0042] The control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to control the cleaning system. Before introducing the control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a brief introduction is first given to the cleaning system mentioned in the subsequent embodiment.

[0043] The cleaning system in the disclosed embodiment includes a clothing processing device and a floor cleaning device. The clothing processing device is a device used to clean clothing; in a specific implementation, the clothing processing device can be a washing machine or a clothes dryer capable of cleaning clothing. The floor cleaning device is a device that can automatically plan a path, move in a self-propelled manner, and clean the floor during movement. In order to automatically plan the path, a camera is also provided in the floor cleaning device, which can capture a scene image through the camera, process the scene image, determine environmental obstacles, and plan a path to avoid environmental obstacles.

[0044] In actual applications, the aforementioned clothing processing equipment and floor cleaning equipment can be integrated and sold together, or they can be sold separately but can be used in an integrated manner. For example, in some specific applications, the cleaning system is a washing machine and a floor sweeper all-in-one. The washing machine and floor sweeper all-in-one is a washing machine body with a floor cleaning equipment base station installed on the lower side. When the floor cleaning equipment is in the station maintenance mode, it will return to the base station.

[0045] Figure 1 : is a flow chart of the control method of the cleaning system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the cleaning device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes S110-S120.

[0046] S110: In response to receiving the cleaning program setting instruction, controlling the camera of the floor cleaning device to photograph the clothes to be cleaned to obtain a clothes image.

[0047] The cleaning program setting instruction is used to trigger the generation of an instruction for controlling the cleaning system to determine a cleaning program for controlling the operation of the laundry processing device. In some specific implementations, the user can trigger the generation of the cleaning program setting instruction by operating the operation panel of the cleaning system (for example, operating the operation panel of the laundry processing device). In other specific implementations, the user can operate the mobile terminal and use the APP installed in the mobile terminal to send the cleaning program setting instruction to the cleaning system.

[0048] After receiving the cleaning program setting instruction, the cleaning system will then control the floor cleaning device to operate so that the camera in the floor cleaning device can capture the clothes to be cleaned and obtain the clothes image.

[0049] In actual applications, in order to use the camera of the floor cleaning device to shoot the clothes to be cleaned, the user can pre-set the target position to which the floor cleaning device needs to move when shooting the clothes to be cleaned, and the target direction of the camera.

[0050] The aforementioned target location may be a specific location in a bathroom or balcony where the laundry treatment device is placed, or a location such as a family corridor, etc. The aforementioned target orientation is the orientation of the camera of the floor cleaning device after it moves to the target location, and the target orientation is determined based on the placement location of the laundry to be cleaned and the target location.

[0051] For example, in some embodiments, the target position is located 0.5 meters in front of the clothes processing device, and the aforementioned target direction is the direction from the target position to the clothes processing device.

[0052] When the aforementioned target position and target orientation are set, the aforementioned S110 may include S111 - S112 .

[0053] S111: Control the floor cleaning device to move to a target position, and direct the camera toward the target position.

[0054] Control the floor cleaning equipment to move to the target position. The following situations may occur.

[0055] In some applications, the floor cleaning device may be in a pit stop repair mode, that is, a mode of returning to the base station for operation. The pit stop repair mode may be a pit stop cleaning mode, a pit stop water filling mode, a pit stop charging mode, etc.

[0056] When the floor cleaning device is in the station correction mode, controlling the floor cleaning device to move to the target position is to first control the floor cleaning device to exit the station, and then control the device to move to the target position. In practical applications, if the station correction mode being performed by the floor cleaning device is an operation that can be completed in a short time, such as station cleaning, station water filling, etc., the clothing processing device can exit the station after completing the aforementioned operation and move to the target position. If the floor cleaning device is in an operation mode that takes a long time to complete, such as station charging mode, the clothing processing device can pause the corresponding mode, exit the station immediately and move to the target position.

[0057] When the floor cleaning device is in the cleaning mode, the floor cleaning device is controlled to move to the target position, specifically, the floor cleaning device is controlled to pause the cleaning operation, a planned path from the current position to the target position is planned, and the device moves to the target position according to the planned path.

[0058] In actual application, the premise of controlling the floor cleaning device to move to the target position and making the camera face the target direction at the target position is that the target position and the target direction have been set. In specific implementation, different types of clothes will be displayed in different ways, and the corresponding target positions and target directions will be different. Accordingly, before executing the above S111, the target position and the target direction need to be determined.

[0059] In some embodiments, the cleaning system can determine the target position and target orientation according to the type of clothing to be cleaned indicated by the cleaning program setting instructions. For example, the clothing to be cleaned can be divided into small pieces of clothing and large pieces of clothing. Small pieces of clothing are clothes such as underwear and shirts that are commonly worn, which are not very stiff and are not suitable for hanging and displaying. They generally need to be stacked on the ground and then photographed by the camera. Large pieces of clothing are relatively large clothes such as wool coats and sweaters that require delicate washing and care; large pieces of clothing should be placed in front of the camera of the floor cleaning equipment in a single hanging place so that the camera can take a more comprehensive picture of them.

[0060] In actual applications, different types of laundry to be cleaned have different target locations. For example, when the laundry to be cleaned is small, it is stacked on the floor in front of the laundry cleaning device, and the target location is the aforementioned location. For another example, when the laundry to be cleaned is large, it is hung in a location such as a hallway, and the target location is a set location in the hallway. After determining the target location, the target location can be determined based on the target location and the location associated with the target location.

[0061] S112: Determine that the floor cleaning device has moved to the target position and the camera is facing the target position, control the camera to shoot the clothes to be cleaned, and obtain an image of the clothes.

[0062] After determining that the floor cleaning device has moved to the target position and the camera should be facing the target position, the camera can be controlled to shoot the clothes to be cleaned to obtain a clothes image. It should be noted that the premise for the camera to shoot the clothes to be cleaned to obtain the clothes image is that the clothes to be cleaned have been placed at the corresponding position.

[0063] After photographing the clothes to be cleaned and obtaining the clothes image of the clothes to be cleaned, the clothes image can be processed to obtain the target cleaning program. The method of processing the clothes image to obtain the target cleaning program will be analyzed later. Here, it is only necessary to determine that the target cleaning program can be determined by processing the clothes image. Then, the cleaning system executes the following S120.

[0064] S120: Controlling the operation of the laundry treatment device according to the target cleaning program determined based on the laundry image.

[0065] After obtaining the target cleaning program determined by the processed clothes image, the cleaning system can then control the clothes processing equipment to operate according to the target cleaning program.

[0066] It should be noted that the aforementioned control of the operation of the clothes processing equipment is performed after the clothes to be cleaned are put into the clothes processing equipment, and then the operation of the clothes processing equipment is controlled.

[0067] By adopting the control method of the cleaning system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the cleaning program setting instruction, the camera of the floor cleaning equipment is controlled to shoot the clothes to be cleaned to obtain the clothes image, and then after determining the target cleaning program based on the clothes image, the target cleaning program is used to control the operation of the clothes processing equipment to realize the cleaning operation of the equipment to be cleaned, and the shooting function of the camera of the floor cleaning equipment is fully reused. There is no need to set a camera specifically for shooting the clothes to be cleaned on the clothes processing equipment, so that the commercialization degree can be improved by using the camera to shoot the clothes to be cleaned and determine the target cleaning program.

[0068] As mentioned above, it is necessary to determine the target cleaning program based on clothing images. In actual applications, the method of determining the target cleaning program based on clothing images will be different based on the different data processing capabilities and program deployment methods.

[0069] In some embodiments, after obtaining the clothing image, the cleaning system will send the clothing image to the target server so that the target server processes the clothing image to determine the target program. In some specific applications, the data processing capacity configured in the cleaning system is not sufficient to meet the needs of processing clothing images. In this case, the clothing processing device can send the clothing image to the target server so that the target server can process the clothing image to obtain the target cleaning program. In a specific implementation, a deep learning model for image processing or video clip processing and identification of clothing features is deployed in the server. After acquiring the clothing image, the target server uses the deep learning model to process the clothing image to obtain the target cleaning program. After obtaining the target cleaning program, the target server returns the target cleaning program to the cleaning system.

[0070] Corresponding to the target server processing the clothing image to obtain the target cleaning program, the aforementioned S120 specifically includes S121.

[0071] S121: Determine the target cleaning program returned by the target server and control the operation of the clothes processing device according to the target cleaning program.

[0072] In some embodiments, the cleaning system fully reuses the data processor deployed inside the floor cleaning device for processing scene images, and deploys a deep learning model for processing the aforementioned recognition of clothing features. Accordingly, the aforementioned S120 controls the operation of the clothing processing device according to the target cleaning program determined based on the clothing image, including S122-S123.

[0073] S122: Process the clothing image and determine the target cleaning procedure.

[0074] S123: Controlling the operation of the laundry processing device according to the target cleaning program.

[0075] After obtaining the clothing image, the cleaning system sends the clothing image to the data processor deployed in the floor cleaning device, and controls the data processor to load the deep learning model for identifying clothing features, so as to process the clothing image using the deep learning model and determine the target cleaning program. After obtaining the target cleaning program, the cleaning system then uses the target cleaning program to control the operation of the clothing processing device.

[0076] As mentioned above, in order to more accurately determine the target cleaning program related to the clothes to be cleaned, it is necessary to determine the presentation method of the clothes according to the type of clothes. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to guide the user to present the clothes to the camera of the floor cleaning device so that the camera can capture the full view of the clothes to be cleaned as much as possible, the cleaning system can also perform the following S130.

[0077] S130: Generate and output a first prompt voice according to the clothing type indicated in the cleaning program setting instruction.

[0078] As analyzed above, the type of clothing is small clothing or large clothing. The first prompt voice is generated and output according to the type of clothing indicated in the cleaning program setting instruction, which determines the display information associated with the clothing type based on the aforementioned clothing type, and outputs the display information in the form of a prompt voice. The aforementioned display information includes the placement location of the clothing to be cleaned, the placement method of the clothing to be cleaned, and whether the clothing to be cleaned is determined to be the corresponding type of clothing.

[0079] In actual applications, during the process of displaying the clothes to be cleaned to the floor cleaning device, stains or hair in the clothes to be cleaned may fall onto the floor. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the floor, the embodiments of the present disclosure consider controlling the floor cleaning device to clean after the clothes to be cleaned are displayed and placed on the clothes processing device. In some embodiments, the cleaning system uses the following S140-S160 to achieve floor cleaning.

[0080] S140: Determine the target area according to the placement position of the clothes to be cleaned.

[0081] In a specific implementation, in order to determine the target cleaning position, it is necessary to first determine the placement position of the clothes to be cleaned. In a specific implementation, the cleaning system can determine the placement position of the clothes to be cleaned while processing the clothes image, or it can use a special back-projection change method to determine the placement position of the clothes to be cleaned. For specific information on how to determine the placement position of the clothes to be cleaned, please refer to the technical literature on related image processing, which will not be analyzed here.

[0082] After determining the placement of the clothes to be cleaned, the target cleaning position can be determined based on the placement. In a specific implementation, the cleaning system can expand 20 cm outward from the aforementioned placement as the center to obtain a circled area, and use the aforementioned circled area as the target area.

[0083] S150: After photographing the clothes to be cleaned to obtain the clothes image, controlling the camera to continue to collect images to obtain subsequent images.

[0084] After the clean clothes are photographed and the clothes image is obtained, the camera will be controlled to collect images. For example, after the clothes image is photographed, the cleaning system will control the camera to collect images with a sampling interval of 1 second to obtain subsequent images.

[0085] S160: After determining that the clothes to be cleaned have been moved from the placement position based on the subsequent image, control the floor cleaning device to clean the target area.

[0086] After obtaining the subsequent image, the cleaning system then processes the subsequent image using one of the two methods mentioned above to determine whether the clothes to be cleaned have been moved from the placement position. If it is determined that the clothes to be cleaned have been moved from the placement position, the floor cleaning device can be controlled to clean the target area. The floor cleaning device cleans the target area by planning a walking path covering the entire area of ​​the target area according to the set walking algorithm, and then walks along the walking path and performs the cleaning operation.

[0087] In practical applications, after determining that the clothes to be cleaned have been removed from the placement position, the user still operates in the target area. In this case, the floor cleaning device can perform the cleaning operation to the target area again after the user leaves.

[0088] In some other embodiments, the cleaning system uses the following S170-S180 to achieve floor cleaning.

[0089] S170: Determine the target area according to the placement position of the clothes to be cleaned.

[0090] The specific implementation process of S170 is the same as that in the previous text, which will not be repeated here. For details, please refer to the previous text.

[0091] S180: Determine that the clothes processing equipment starts to operate according to the target cleaning program, and control the floor cleaning equipment to clean the target area.

[0092] In the disclosed embodiment, the premise for the clothes handling device to start running according to the target cleaning program is that the user has put the clothes to be cleaned into the clothes handling device and closed the clothes feeding port of the clothes handling device. Based on the above assumption, if the clothes handling device starts running according to the target cleaning program, it is determined that the user has put the clothes to be cleaned into the clothes handling device, and at this time, the floor cleaning device can be directly controlled to clean the target area. The process of the floor cleaning device cleaning the target area in S180 is the same as before and will not be repeated here.

[0093] In some specific applications, it may take some time, for example, 3 minutes, for the floor cleaning device to move to the target position and photograph the clothes to be cleaned. During this period, the user may deal with other things and forget that the clothes to be cleaned have not yet been put into the clothes processing device. In order to remind the user to avoid delaying the washing of clothes due to long-term placement, and to avoid the floor cleaning device from being unable to perform subsequent cleaning operations normally. When it is determined based on subsequent images that the clothes to be cleaned have been placed at the placement position for a preset time, the cleaning system can control the output of a second prompt voice. The second prompt voice is used to prompt the user to put the clothes to be cleaned into the clothes processing device.

[0094] In addition to providing the aforementioned control method for the cleaning system, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a control device 200 for the cleaning system.

[0095] In some embodiments, the control device 200 of the cleaning system further includes a communication unit. The communication unit is used to send the clothing image to the target server. After receiving the target cleaning program returned by the target server, the control unit 201 controls the clothing processing device to operate according to the target cleaning program.

[0096] In some embodiments, the control device 200 of the cleaning system further includes a processing unit 202. The processing unit 202 is used to process the clothing image and determine the target cleaning program; then the control unit 201 controls the clothing processing device to operate according to the target cleaning program.

[0097] In some embodiments, the control unit 201 determines the target position and target orientation according to the type of clothes to be cleaned indicated by the cleaning program setting instructions; then controls the floor cleaning device to move to the target position and makes the camera face the target orientation, and the target orientation is determined according to the placement position and target position of the clothes to be cleaned; after determining that the floor cleaning device has moved to the target position and the camera has faced the target orientation, the control unit 201 controls the camera to shoot the clothes to be cleaned to obtain an image of the clothes.

[0098] In some embodiments, the control unit 201 is also used to control the output of a first prompt voice according to the type of clothing indicated in the cleaning program setting instructions, and the first prompt voice is used to prompt at least one of the following information: the placement location of the clothes to be cleaned, and the placement method of the clothes to be cleaned.

[0099] In a specific implementation, when the floor cleaning device is in the inbound trimming mode, the control unit 201 controls the floor cleaning device to exit the station and move to the target position. When the floor cleaning device is in the outbound cleaning mode, the control unit 201 controls the floor cleaning device to suspend the cleaning operation and move to the target position.

[0100] In some embodiments, the processing unit 202 is also used to determine the target area according to the placement position of the clothes to be cleaned; after photographing the clothes to be cleaned to obtain the clothes image, the control unit 201 controls the camera to continue to capture images to obtain subsequent images; after determining that the clothes to be cleaned have been moved from the placement position based on the subsequent images, the control unit 201 controls the floor cleaning equipment to clean the target area.

[0101] In some other embodiments, after determining that the clothes processing device starts to operate according to the target cleaning program, the control unit 201 controls the floor cleaning device to clean the target area.

[0102] In some embodiments, when it is determined based on subsequent images that the time the clothes to be cleaned have been placed in the placement location has reached a preset time, the control unit 201 controls the output of a second prompt voice, and the second prompt voice is used to prompt the user to put the clothes to be cleaned into the clothes processing equipment.
