Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a control method, device, electronic device and storage medium for a range hood. Background Art

[0002] The hood is mainly used to absorb the oil smoke, steam and odor generated during cooking, and then purify it through the filtration system and discharge it outdoors. The development and popularization of hoods are of great significance to improving the kitchen environment, reducing air pollution and protecting the health of family members. Among them, the lift hood is a kitchen exhaust device with novel design and unique functions. Different from the traditional hood fixed on the wall or hung on the ceiling, the lift hood can be moved up and down by a mechanical device, usually hidden in the cabinet, and will be moved out of the cabinet when in use, which not only saves space but also maintains the overall beauty of the kitchen.

[0003] However, the lifting control method of this type of range hood is relatively traditional, mainly operated by physical buttons. Users need to manually press these physical buttons on the range hood to control the lifting action. Although this method is simple and direct, the interaction method is relatively single and lacks convenience.

[0004] There are also some lift-type range hoods that use various sensors to detect user actions and perform corresponding functions accordingly. However, when designing these gesture interaction interfaces, a common problem is that users need to remember a variety of different gestures to complete different operations, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and learning cost of use and reduces the user experience. Specifically, users may need to remember different gestures such as waving to open, clenching a fist to close, and sliding the palm to control lifting. In this case, not only will new users be confused when using it for the first time, even old users who already have a certain understanding of the device may forget the meaning of specific gestures due to long-term non-use. In addition, for the elderly or people with limited finger flexibility, complex multi-gesture systems are even more difficult to master. Summary of the invention

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or server that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0040] It is understandable that in the specific implementation of this application, related data such as user information is involved. When the above embodiments of this application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission or consent is required, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards.

[0041] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a range hood provided by an embodiment of the present application. The range hood is used to move along a first direction, and a first sensor device and a second sensor device distributed along the first direction are provided on the range hood, and the first sensor device and the second sensor device are respectively used to output gesture signals when a user gesture is detected, and the detection range of the first sensor device does not intersect with the detection range of the second sensor device. Specifically, for a lift-type range hood, the first direction is a vertical direction. Among them, the first sensor device or the second sensor device can be set to an infrared sensor, a radar sensor, a camera sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a capacitive sensor, an optical sensor, a proximity sensor, and the like.

[0042] Specifically, the detection area of ​​the first sensor device and the detection area of ​​the second sensor device are separated in space, that is, there is no common coverage area, and any gesture can only be detected by one of the sensor devices, but not by both sensor devices at the same time. For example, according to the conventional placement of the range hood, assuming that the first sensor device is located in front of the range hood, facing the user, its detection range covers an area of ​​a certain width and height in front of the range hood; the second sensor device is located at the bottom of the range hood, and its detection range is an area a certain distance downward from the bottom of the range hood. Figure 1 For example, A is a schematic diagram of the height of the range hood. At B in the figure, that is, above the screen of the range hood, an infrared sensor is set, and at D in the figure, that is, at the bottom of the range hood, a radar sensor is set. In this way, the gestures made by the user on the front of the range hood will only be detected by the first sensor device, and the gestures made below the range hood will only be detected by the second sensor device. In a specific implementation, in order to ensure that the detection ranges do not intersect, it can also be achieved by adjusting the position, angle or detection sensitivity of the sensor; for example, an algorithm can be used to limit the effective detection area of ​​each sensor, or the detection range of the sensor can be limited by physical obstructions. In this way, gestures can be effectively avoided from being incorrectly recognized, and users can know more clearly where to make gestures to trigger specific actions, which helps to reduce the possibility of misoperation and improve the accuracy of user operations. Users can choose the appropriate gesture area to operate according to the action they want to perform.

[0043] In specific implementation, by integrating a voice recognition module and corresponding voice processing software on the range hood, users can control various functions of the range hood through voice commands. Figure 1For example, a microphone is set at point C in the figure to capture the user's voice commands. When the microphone receives the wake-up command, the voice recognition module enters the working state, accepts user voice input, such as range hood lowering, range hood raising, and range hood closing, etc., and identifies the corresponding range hood control commands, passes them to the range hood control system, and performs the corresponding control process.

[0044] See also Figure 2 , which shows a flow chart of a control method for a range hood provided in an embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that this specification provides method operation steps such as the embodiments or flow charts, but may include more or fewer operation steps based on conventional or non-creative work. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is only one way of executing the steps among many orders, and does not represent the only order of execution. When the actual system or product is executed, it can be executed in the order shown in the embodiments or the drawings, or in parallel (for example, in a parallel processor or multi-threaded processing environment). Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the method may include:

[0045] S201, in response to a current gesture signal, determining a target sensor device that outputs the current gesture signal.

[0046] The current gesture signal refers to a signal generated after the gesture made by the user at a certain position near the range hood at the current moment is detected by the sensor device. Specifically, the first sensor device and the second sensor device are located at different positions of the range hood, and their detection ranges do not overlap. When the user makes a gesture within the detection range of one of the sensor devices, the sensor device will detect the action and convert it into an electrical signal or a digital signal.

[0047] The target sensor device is the first sensor device or the second sensor device. Specifically, when the control system receives a gesture signal, it determines which sensor device detects the gesture; for example, if the current gesture signal is detected by the first sensor device, then the first sensor device is the target sensor device.

[0048] S203, in a first direction, determining a preparatory execution action of the range hood based on a direction of the target sensor device relative to the reference sensor device.

[0049] The reference sensor device is a sensor device other than the target sensor device among the first sensor device and the second sensor device, that is, a sensor device that does not detect a gesture. For example, if the first sensor device is the target sensor device, then the second sensor device is the reference sensor device.

[0050] Among them, the pre-execution action refers to the action that the range hood pre-sets and is about to execute according to the user's intention when the user interacts with the range hood through gestures. It is usually not necessarily the final actual operation, but a preparatory stage to confirm the user's true intention and ensure that the range hood can accurately respond to the user's command.

[0051] Specifically, the action that the user wants to perform is determined based on the positional relationship of the target sensor device relative to the reference sensor device. For example, for a lift-type range hood, according to the conventional placement of the range hood, it is assumed that the first sensor device is arranged on the front of the range hood, responsible for detecting the gesture made by the user in front of the range hood, and the second sensor device is arranged below the range hood, responsible for detecting the gesture made by the user below. If the first sensor device detects a gesture, then the target sensor device is located above the reference sensor device, and the action to be performed may be an upward adjustment, that is, controlling the range hood to rise; if the second sensor device detects a gesture, then the target sensor device is located below the reference sensor device, and the action to be performed may be a downward adjustment, that is, controlling the range hood to descend.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the above step S203 may include the following steps:

[0053] In a first direction, determining a direction of a target sensing device relative to a reference sensing device to obtain a target direction;

[0054] Determine that the preparatory execution action for the smoke machine is movement along the target direction.

[0055] The target direction refers to the direction of the desired action conveyed by the user to the range hood through the gesture. Specifically, the target direction is determined by the user's gesture and the position of the target sensor device relative to the reference sensor device.

[0056] In a specific implementation, for a lift-type range hood, if the target sensor device is located above the reference sensor device, the preparatory action is an ascending action; if the target sensor device is located below the reference sensor device, the preparatory action is a descending action.

[0057] It can be seen from the above technical solutions of the embodiment of the present application that the embodiment of the present application can accurately control the rise or fall of the range hood by determining the position of the target sensor device relative to the reference sensor device, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the operation and providing a smoother and more intuitive user experience.

[0058] S205: Determine the target action based on the matching degree between the current action mode of the range hood and the prepared action.

[0059] The current action mode defines how the range hood should respond to the user's input, ie, the gesture signal. Specifically, the current action mode includes but is not limited to whether the action of sucking out oil smoke is being performed, and whether the action of moving along the first direction is being performed.

[0060] Among them, the matching degree is used to evaluate the correlation and rationality between the user's gesture and the current action mode of the range hood, and to judge whether the execution of the preparatory action is reasonable, so as to determine the appropriate target action.

[0061] The target action is the final action to be performed according to the user's gesture and the current action mode. In a specific implementation, the target action usually includes controlling the range hood to rise and controlling the range hood to descend.

[0062] Optionally, when the preparatory action does not match the current action mode of the range hood, the preparatory action is determined as the target action.

[0063] Specifically, the preparatory action does not match the current action mode of the range hood. In this case, the preparatory action is directly determined as the target action, that is, the preparatory action is executed. For example, if the preparatory action is an ascending action and the range hood is currently in a standby state, the target action is to control the range hood to ascend.

[0064] See also Figure 3 , which is a flow chart of another method for controlling a range hood provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 1 For example, an infrared sensor is set at B in the figure, that is, above the range hood screen, and a radar sensor is set at D in the figure, that is, at the bottom of the range hood; if the infrared sensor detects a user gesture, the range hood is controlled to rise if it is in standby mode. The range hood is controlled in combination with its current action mode, which improves the rationality of the control mechanism.

[0065] Optionally, when the prepared execution action matches the current action mode of the range hood, the target action is determined to be the current action mode of turning off the range hood.

[0066] Specifically, if the prepared action is the same as the action currently being performed by the range hood, the range hood will stop the current action. For example, if the prepared action is an ascending action and the range hood is currently in an ascending state, the target action is to stop ascending.

[0067] See also Figure 3 , which is a flow chart of another method for controlling a range hood provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 1For example, an infrared sensor is set at B in the figure, that is, above the range hood screen, and a radar sensor is set at D in the figure, that is, at the bottom of the range hood; if the infrared sensor detects a user gesture, if the range hood is rising, the range hood is controlled to stop rising. The range hood is controlled in combination with the current action mode of the range hood, which improves the rationality of the control mechanism.

[0068] S207, controlling the range hood to execute a target action.

[0069] In a specific implementation, while, after or before controlling the range hood to perform the target action, the working state of the range hood can also be controlled. For example, if the range hood is currently in a non-working state, while or after controlling the range hood to descend, the range hood is controlled to enter a working state; if the range hood is currently in a working state, while or after controlling the range hood to ascend, the range hood is controlled to enter a non-working state.

[0070] It can be seen from the above technical solutions of the embodiment of the present application that, by setting the position of the sensor device that triggers the gesture signal to correspond to the action of controlling the range hood, the user can choose the direction of the gesture operation according to his or her intuition without having to memorize complex gesture combinations. The learning cost is low, user friendliness is improved, and the user's operating experience is significantly improved. The range hood is controlled in combination with the current action mode of the range hood, which improves the rationality of the control mechanism and realizes a more intuitive, convenient and accurate gesture control method of the range hood.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the first direction includes the second direction, and the range hood is used to move along the second direction to a second position, and the second position is used to control the range hood to be in a non-working state; when the target direction is the second direction, the above step S207 may include the following steps:

[0072] When the current action mode indicates that the range hood is in working state, the range hood is controlled to enter the action reservation state;

[0073] In the action reservation state, the current action mode is updated until the updated current action mode indicates that the range hood is in a non-working state, and the range hood is controlled to move along the second direction to the second position.

[0074] The first direction refers to the set of movement directions that the range hood can achieve.

[0075] The second direction is a subset of the first direction, and refers to the direction along which the range hood moves to the second position. Specifically, the range hood moves along the second direction to the second position, which is used to control the range hood to be in a non-working state.

[0076] The second position is used as a parking position, and the range hood is in a stopped or closed state when it reaches this position.

[0077] In a specific implementation, for a lift-type range hood, the first direction is the vertical direction, and the second direction is the vertical upward direction. The range hood rises to a second position, such as the inside of a cabinet above the range hood. At the same time, the range hood is controlled to no longer perform functions such as extracting oil fumes, that is, it is in a non-working state.

[0078] The action reservation state refers to a waiting state that the range hood enters when the user instructs the range hood to perform an action through a gesture, but the current state of the range hood does not allow the action to be performed immediately. In this state, the range hood will prepare to perform the action instructed by the user, but will not perform it immediately, but will wait for the right time or until the conditions are met before performing it.

[0079] Specifically, when the target direction is the second direction, if the range hood is in a working state, that is, the current action mode of the range hood is to perform the action of absorbing oil fumes, then the preparatory action is to move along the second direction. Furthermore, the current action mode of the range hood does not match the preparatory action, and the target action is determined to be moving along the second direction. The range hood is controlled to enter an action reservation state until the range hood finishes working, at which time the range hood is controlled to move along the second direction to the second position.

[0080] For example, see Figure 3 , which is a flow chart of another method for controlling a range hood provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 For example, an infrared sensor is set at B in the figure, that is, above the range hood screen, and a radar sensor is set at D in the figure, that is, at the bottom of the range hood. If the infrared sensor detects a user gesture, if the range hood is working, it will enter a delayed shutdown state, and then control the range hood to rise after the work is completed.

[0081] It can be seen from the above technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application that the embodiment of the present application obtains the target direction by determining the direction of the target sensor device relative to the reference sensor device; and by subdividing the first direction into a method including the second direction, so that when the target direction is the second direction, if the current action mode indicates that the range hood is in a working state, the range hood is controlled to enter an action reservation state; in the action reservation state, by continuously updating the current action mode until the updated current action mode indicates that the range hood is in a non-working state, the range hood is controlled to move along the second direction to the second position, thereby ensuring that the user gesture will not directly affect the working state of the range hood, but first smoothly transitions to the non-working state through the reservation mechanism, and then moves along the second direction to the second position, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the range hood to be in a non-working state, so as to prevent the user from misoperating and affecting the operation of the range hood.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, the first direction includes a third direction, and the range hood is used to move along the third direction to a first position, and the first position is used to control the range hood to be in a working state; when the target direction is the third direction, the above step S207 may include the following steps:

[0083] The range hood is controlled to move along the third direction to the first position, so that the range hood enters a working state.

[0084] The first direction refers to the set of movement directions that the range hood can achieve.

[0085] The third direction is a subset of the first direction, and refers to the direction along which the range hood moves to the first position. Specifically, the range hood moves to the first position along the third direction to control the range hood to be in a working state.

[0086] The first position is a parking position, and the range hood enters the working state when it reaches the position. In a specific implementation, the first position can be a specific position or a range, and the range hood can be in the working state when it is within the range.

[0087] In a specific implementation, for a lift-type range hood, the first direction is the vertical direction, and the third direction is the vertical downward direction. When the range hood descends to the third position, the range hood is controlled to enter a working state to perform functions such as extracting oil fumes.

[0088] Specifically, when the target direction is the third direction, the range hood is controlled to move along the third direction to the first position, and the range hood is controlled to enter a working state.

[0089] For example, Figure 1 For example, an infrared sensor is set at B in the figure, that is, above the range hood screen, and a radar sensor is set at D in the figure, that is, at the bottom of the range hood. When the gesture radar sensor receives the hand-waving signal, it sends a signal to the system to control the range hood to descend and turn on the fan to enter the working state.

[0090] It can be seen from the above technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application that the embodiment of the present application obtains the target direction by determining the direction of the target sensor device relative to the reference sensor device; and by subdividing the first direction into a third direction, so that when the target direction is the third direction, the range hood can be controlled to move along the third direction to the first position, thereby putting the range hood into a working state.

[0091] Corresponding to the control methods of the range hood provided in the above-mentioned embodiments, the embodiment of the present application also provides a control device for the range hood.
