[0026] An embodiment of the present invention provides a smart toilet control method, the smart toilet control method comprising: Human body number detection step: detecting the number of human bodies in the preset area, if the number of human bodies is greater than or equal to 2, making the smart toilet maintain the current state, if the number of human bodies is less than 2, entering the execution step; Execution step: detecting whether the preset condition is met, if the preset condition is met, controlling the smart toilet to perform a corresponding action according to the preset condition and the action triggering relationship of the smart toilet.

[0027] In this embodiment, the number of human bodies in the preset area is first detected. If the number of human bodies is greater than or equal to 2, it means that the users in the current preset area do not want to go to the toilet and do not need to use the smart toilet. Therefore, the smart toilet is controlled to maintain the current state, that is, the smart toilet is not controlled to make any action. If the number of human bodies is less than 2, it is determined that the users in the preset area may want to go to the toilet and need to use the smart toilet. At this time, the execution step is performed. After entering the execution step, it is further detected whether the preset condition is met. If the preset condition is met, the smart toilet is controlled to perform the corresponding action according to the preset condition and the action trigger relationship of the smart toilet, thereby avoiding the problem that two or more human bodies appear in the preset area and the smart toilet responds incorrectly and makes the corresponding action, that is, avoiding the problem of false triggering.

[0028] In this embodiment, the number of human bodies in the preset area can be detected by setting a microwave radar sensor on the smart toilet. The preset area can be set according to actual needs and combined with the maximum detection value of the microwave radar sensor.

[0029] In some embodiments, the detection of whether the preset condition is met, if the preset condition is met, then according to the preset condition and the action trigger relationship of the smart toilet, the smart toilet is controlled to perform a corresponding action, specifically including: The first time that the human body continuously appears in the preset area is obtained. If the first time is greater than a first preset time threshold and the seat cover of the smart toilet is currently in a dropped state, the seat cover and the seat ring of the smart toilet are controlled / only the seat cover is controlled to flip up.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first time that the human body continuously appears in the preset area is obtained, and only when the first time is greater than the first preset time threshold, the seat cover and the seat ring of the smart toilet are controlled to flip up, or only the seat cover of the smart toilet is controlled to flip up, so as to avoid the smart toilet action being accidentally triggered when the user passes by the preset area without intending to use the smart toilet.

[0031] In some embodiments, the detection of whether the preset condition is met, if the preset condition is met, then according to the preset condition and the action trigger relationship of the smart toilet, the smart toilet is controlled to perform a corresponding action, specifically including: The distance value between the human body and the smart toilet and the changing trend of the distance value are obtained. If the changing trend of the distance value is decreasing and decreases to a first distance threshold, and the seat cover of the smart toilet is currently in a dropped state, the seat cover and the seat ring / or the seat cover of the smart toilet are controlled to flip up.

[0032] In this embodiment, the distance change trend between the human body and the smart toilet is obtained. When the distance change trend is decreasing and decreases to a first distance threshold, the seat cover and the seat ring of the smart toilet are controlled to flip up, or only the seat cover of the smart toilet is controlled to flip up, so as to prevent a stationary object from standing in a range less than the first distance threshold from the smart toilet and erroneously triggering the action of the smart toilet.

[0033] In some embodiments, the detection of whether the preset condition is met, if the preset condition is met, then according to the preset condition and the action trigger relationship of the smart toilet, the smart toilet is controlled to perform a corresponding action, specifically including: The distance value between the human body and the smart toilet and the changing trend of the distance value are obtained. If the changing trend of the distance value gradually increases from zero and increases to a first distance threshold, and the seat cover of the smart toilet is currently in an upturned state, the seat cover and seat ring of the smart toilet are controlled to fall down.

[0034] When the distance between the human body and the smart toilet gradually increases from zero and increases to the first distance threshold, it means that the user has left the smart toilet after using it. Therefore, this embodiment detects whether the above conditions are met. When the above conditions are met, the seat cover and seat ring of the smart toilet are controlled to fall, or only the seat ring of the smart toilet is controlled to fall.

[0035] In some embodiments, the detection of whether the preset condition is met, if the preset condition is met, then according to the preset condition and the action trigger relationship of the smart toilet, the smart toilet is controlled to perform a corresponding action, specifically including: The distance value between the human body and the smart toilet and the change trend of the distance value are obtained. If the change trend of the distance value gradually increases from zero and increases to a second distance threshold, the smart toilet is controlled to flush.

[0036] When the distance between the human body and the smart toilet gradually increases from zero and increases to the second distance threshold, it means that the user has left the smart toilet after using it. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is detected whether the above situation occurs. When the above situation is detected, the smart toilet is controlled to flush.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second distance threshold is greater than the first distance threshold.
