[0042] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0043] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0044] In the related art, users control the operating mode of each home appliance through a mobile terminal such as an APP (application) in a mobile phone. For example, the user can first start the APP, then find each home appliance in the APP, and then adjust the corresponding operating parameters of each home appliance one by one to make the home appliance operate in the corresponding mode, which makes the user's operation very cumbersome.

[0045] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of another method for controlling a home appliance provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. This method can be executed by a control device for a home appliance provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The control device for the home appliance can be implemented in software and / or hardware, for example, it can be integrated in the home appliance. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0046] S101, obtaining a first instruction; wherein the first instruction is an opening instruction of the central control device based on the target mode, and is sent to each home appliance wirelessly connected to the central control device.

[0047] Specifically, when the user needs the home appliance to run the target mode, the user sends a start instruction of the target mode to the central control device. The central control device obtains the start instruction of the target mode and sends a first instruction to the home appliance wirelessly. The home appliance receives the first instruction sent by the central control device.

[0048] The central control device may be, for example, a device with a display screen, and the user triggers the display screen on the central control device to send a target mode start instruction. The central control device may be, for example, a device with a button, and the user triggers the button to send a target mode start instruction. The central control device may be set in a porch, bedroom, etc., for the convenience of user operation and to meet the user's usage needs. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific placement of the central control device.

[0049] S202: Run the target mode based on the power-on instruction and the first instruction.

[0050] For example, the user can input a power-on command by rotating a button or a knob on the control panel of the home appliance to turn on the home appliance, or can send a power-on command to the home appliance through a terminal device connected to the home appliance to turn on the home appliance, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The home appliance runs the target mode based on the received power-on command and the first command, for example, the home appliance can adjust its corresponding operating parameters to the operating parameters corresponding to the target mode.

[0051] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the interaction between a home appliance and a central control device provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Currently, users usually have a smart home system at home. The smart home system includes multiple home appliances 2, such as air conditioners in the living room, dining room and bedrooms, refrigerators in the kitchen, washing machines in the bathroom, etc. It can be understood that Figure 2 Only some household appliances are shown as examples, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the number and specific types of household appliances.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the mobile terminal 3 can, for example, use the cloud server 4 as a relay for information transmission, so that the mobile terminal 3 and each home appliance 2 distributed in various locations in the home are connected to the cloud server 4. The user can adjust the switch status, operation mode and related operation parameters of the home appliance through the application on the mobile terminal 3, thereby simplifying the user's control over the home appliance 2.

[0053] The central control device 1 can be wirelessly connected to each home appliance 2 through the cloud server 4. The central control device 1 logs in to the account on the mobile terminal 3 to synchronously display the switch status, operation mode and related operation parameters of each home appliance 2.

[0054] In order to simplify the user's operation of the home appliance 2, the central control device 1 is set in the embodiment of the disclosure to obtain the start instruction of the target mode triggered by the user, and send a first instruction to the cloud server 4. The cloud server 4 forwards the first instruction to each home appliance 2 to instruct each home appliance 2 to run the target mode, so that the operating parameters of the home appliance 2 are the operating parameters corresponding to the target mode. After receiving the first instruction, each home appliance 2 runs the target mode.

[0055] Optionally, the target mode includes at least an energy-saving mode or a high-efficiency mode; wherein the energy consumption corresponding to the energy-saving mode is less than a first energy consumption threshold; the energy consumption corresponding to the high-efficiency mode is greater than a second energy consumption threshold; and the first energy consumption threshold is less than or equal to the second energy consumption threshold.

[0056] Exemplarily, the target mode may be an energy-saving mode, the energy consumption corresponding to the energy-saving mode is less than a first energy consumption threshold, and the energy consumption corresponding to the high-efficiency mode is greater than a second energy consumption threshold. Taking a washing machine as an example of a household appliance, when the household appliance is running in energy-saving mode, the time of the washing program may be shortened to reduce power consumption, or the temperature and speed may be lowered to reduce the power consumption of the washing machine, or the number of rinses may be reduced. All of the above can reduce the energy consumption of the washing machine and achieve the purpose of energy saving.

[0057] When the household appliance is running in high-efficiency mode, for example, the time of the washing program can be extended, or the number of rinses can be increased, or the speed of the clothing processing chamber can be increased, etc., which will increase the power consumption of the washing machine, thereby improving the washing ratio of the clothes to achieve the purpose of efficient washing.

[0058] It is understandable that when the household appliance is other types of equipment, such as a water purifier, an air conditioner, etc., the energy-saving mode can also be achieved by running the corresponding operation mode of the household appliance that can reduce power consumption according to the actual operation of the household appliance.

[0059] Therefore, by triggering the central control device, each home appliance can receive the first instruction and run the target mode, eliminating the steps of triggering each home appliance to run the target mode one by one and adjusting the corresponding operating parameters, simplifying the control operation of the home appliance, improving the convenience of operation, and improving the user experience.

[0060] Optionally, before running the target mode, the control method of the home appliance further includes: determining whether the current running time of the home appliance meets a preset time condition.

[0061] Specifically, before running the target mode, it can be determined that the current operating time of the home appliance meets the preset time condition to avoid the user accidentally sending the target mode start instruction due to accidentally touching the central control device, causing the home appliance to run the target mode when the target mode is not needed, resulting in the home appliance being unable to meet the user's needs. This improves the accuracy of the target mode operation and the user experience.

[0062] Optionally, the control method of the home appliance further includes: determining that the current operating time of the home appliance does not meet a preset time condition, and operating in a default mode.

[0063] Specifically, it is determined that the current operating time of the home appliance does not meet the preset time condition, which means that the user has mistakenly touched the start command of the target mode, which in turn causes the central control device to mistakenly send the first command to the home appliance. The user does not need the home appliance to run the target mode, so the home appliance runs the default mode, thereby improving the accuracy of the target mode operation and improving the user experience.

[0064] Optionally, determining that the current operating time of the home appliance meets the preset time condition includes: determining that the current operating time of the home appliance belongs to a preset time period; wherein the preset time period is a time period when the user adopts the target mode a preset number of times, or a time period when electricity charges are at a peak.

[0065] For example, the preset time period is, for example, a time period in which the number of times the user adopts the target mode reaches a preset number, that is, the user often uses the target mode to run the home appliance in the current time period. For example, the user generally adopts the target mode to run the home appliance between 4 pm and 6 pm, and the preset number is set to three times. The number of times the user adopts the target mode between 4 pm and 6 pm is five times, and the number of times the target mode is adopted is greater than the preset number. When the current operating time is 5 pm, it means that the current operating time of the home appliance meets the preset time condition, and the home appliance runs the target mode. In this way, the home appliance can run the target mode based on the user's daily usage habits, and better meet the user's usage needs for the home appliance.

[0066] It should be noted that the preset number of times can be set according to the actual usage of the home appliance by the user, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0067] Exemplarily, the preset time period may be, for example, a time period when electricity costs are at a peak. In order to save electricity costs, during the time period when electricity costs are at a peak, home appliances operate in a target mode. The target mode may be, for example, an energy-saving mode, thereby reducing the electricity consumption of home appliances, thereby reducing electricity costs and improving user experience.

[0068] In some embodiments, the clothes processing device in the household appliances, such as a washing machine, will prompt the user again to confirm whether to execute the target mode, such as the energy-saving mode. When the user confirms, the clothes processing device can execute the energy-saving mode. In this way, it can avoid the problem that when the user needs other household appliances to execute the energy-saving mode but does not want the clothes processing device to execute the energy-saving mode, the clothes processing device still executes the energy-saving mode, thereby affecting the washing effect of the clothes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] Optionally, after running the target mode, the control method of the home appliance further includes: sending energy consumption data corresponding to the target mode operation to the central control device and / or the mobile terminal device.

[0070] Specifically, after running the target mode, the home appliance can send the energy consumption data corresponding to the target mode operation to the central control device, so that the user can view the energy consumption data such as power consumption and water consumption corresponding to the target mode operation through the central control device. The home appliance can also send the energy consumption data corresponding to the target mode operation to the mobile terminal device, and the user can view the energy consumption data such as power consumption and water consumption corresponding to the target mode operation on the mobile terminal device. The home appliance can also send the energy consumption data corresponding to the target mode operation to the central control device and the mobile terminal device, so that the user can flexibly choose to view the energy consumption data such as power consumption and water consumption through the central control device or the mobile terminal according to the scene in which he is.

[0071] Optionally, the control method of the home appliance further includes: obtaining a second instruction; wherein the second instruction is a shutdown instruction of the central control device based on the target mode, and is sent to each home appliance wirelessly connected to the central control device; based on the second instruction, restoring to the default mode.

[0072] Specifically, based on the shutdown instruction of the target mode triggered by the user, the central control device sends a second instruction to each home appliance wirelessly connected to the central control device. The home appliance receives the second instruction and, based on the second instruction, restores to the default mode. For example, the home appliance automatically restores to the default mode when it is turned on next time.

[0073] Exemplarily, the closing instruction of the target mode may be triggered by a user, and the central control device may be a device with a display screen, and the user triggers the display screen on the central control device to send the closing instruction of the target mode. The central control device may be a device with a button, and the user triggers the button to send the closing instruction of the target mode. It is understandable that the user may also send the closing instruction of the target mode in other ways, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0074] Therefore, when the user no longer needs to run the target mode, the user can instruct each home appliance to return to the default mode by triggering the central control device, eliminating the steps of triggering each home appliance to run the default mode one by one and adjusting the corresponding operating parameters, thereby simplifying the control operation of the home appliance, improving the convenience of operation, and improving the user experience.

[0075] Optionally, after running the target mode, the method further includes: controlling the generation of prompt information for running the target mode.

[0076] For example, for home appliances with voice broadcast devices such as speakers, when running the target mode, prompts such as "turn on energy-saving mode" can be actively broadcast through voice to remind the user that since the home appliance has entered the target mode start command in the central control device, the home appliance has run the target mode, thereby avoiding the problem that the user mistakenly believes that the home appliance is running in an incorrect mode.

[0077] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of another method for controlling a home appliance provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. This method can be executed by another control device for a home appliance provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The control device for the home appliance can be implemented in software and / or hardware, for example, it can be integrated in a central control device. Figure 3 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0078] S201. Obtain a target mode activation instruction, and send a first instruction to each home appliance wirelessly connected to the central control device to instruct each home appliance to operate the target mode.

[0079] Exemplarily, the target mode start instruction may be triggered by a user, for example, and the central control device may be a device with a display screen, and the user triggers the display screen on the central control device to send the target mode start instruction. The central control device may be a device with a button, and the user triggers the button to send the target mode start instruction. It is understandable that the user may also send the target mode start instruction in other ways, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0080] The control method for home appliances provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can instruct each home appliance to run a target mode by triggering a central control device, eliminating the steps of triggering each home appliance to run the target mode one by one and adjusting the corresponding operating parameters, thereby simplifying the control operation of the home appliances, improving the convenience of operation, and improving the user experience.

[0081] Optionally, the method for controlling household appliances further includes: obtaining and displaying energy consumption data corresponding to the operation of each household appliance based on the target mode.

[0082] Exemplarily, when each home appliance is running in the target mode, the central control device can obtain in real time the energy consumption data of each home appliance corresponding to each time period or time point based on the target mode, such as power consumption, water consumption and other data, and display the energy consumption data to the user in real time, so that the user can understand the energy consumption of each home appliance under the target mode at any time.

[0083] For example, after each home appliance ends its target mode operation, the central control device may also obtain the total energy consumption data corresponding to the operation of each home appliance based on the target mode, and display the energy consumption data of each home appliance to the user, so that the user can understand the overall power consumption, water consumption and other energy consumption of the home appliance under the target mode.

[0084] Optionally, the method for controlling home appliances further includes: obtaining a closing instruction of the target mode, and sending a second instruction to each home appliance wirelessly connected to the central control device to instruct each home appliance to restore to a default mode.

[0085] Exemplarily, the closing instruction of the target mode may be triggered by a user, and the central control device may be a device with a display screen, and the user triggers the display screen on the central control device to send the closing instruction of the target mode. The central control device may be a device with a button, and the user triggers the button to send the closing instruction of the target mode. It is understandable that the user may also send the closing instruction of the target mode in other ways, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0086] When the user does not need the home appliance to execute the target mode, the central control device is triggered to issue a target mode shutdown instruction. Based on the target mode shutdown instruction, the central control device sends a second instruction to the home appliance wirelessly connected to it to instruct the home appliance to run the default mode. For example, when the home appliance is turned on next time, it automatically restores to the default mode, wherein the operating parameters of the home appliance in the default mode are different from the operating parameters of the home appliance in the target mode.

[0087] Figure 2 The figure exemplarily shows that the central control device 1 obtains the closing instruction of the target mode triggered by the user, and sends a second instruction to the cloud server 4. The cloud server 4 forwards the second instruction to each home appliance 2. After receiving the second instruction, the home appliance 2 restores the default mode.

[0088] Exemplarily, the energy consumption corresponding to the default mode may be greater than the energy consumption corresponding to the energy-saving mode and less than the energy consumption corresponding to the high-efficiency mode. Taking a washing machine as an example of a household appliance, the power consumption of the washing program in the default mode is A1, the power consumption of the washing program in the energy-saving mode is B1, and the power consumption of the washing program in the high-efficiency mode is C1, then B1<A1<C1, the water consumption of the washing program in the default mode is A2, the water consumption of the washing program in the energy-saving mode is B2, and the power consumption of the washing program in the high-efficiency mode is C2, then B2<A2<C2.

[0089] It is understandable that the default mode may be other operating modes frequently used by users as long as they can meet the user's usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0090] Therefore, when the user no longer needs to run the target mode, the user can instruct each home appliance to return to the default mode by triggering the central control device, eliminating the steps of triggering each home appliance to run the default mode one by one and adjusting the corresponding operating parameters, thereby simplifying the control operation of the home appliance, improving the convenience of operation, and improving the user experience.

[0091] The control method for home appliances provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can instruct each home appliance to operate in a target mode by triggering a central control device, eliminating the steps of triggering each home appliance's operating target mode one by one and adjusting the corresponding operating parameters, thereby simplifying the control operation of the home appliances, improving the convenience of operation, and improving the user experience.

[0092] The disclosed embodiment also provides a control device for household appliances. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of another control device for household appliances provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the control device of the home appliance includes: an instruction acquisition module 401 and an operation module 402, the instruction acquisition module 401 is used to obtain a first instruction; wherein the first instruction is a start instruction of the central control device based on the target mode, and is sent to each home appliance wirelessly connected to the central control device; the operation module 402 is used to run the target mode based on the power-on instruction and the first instruction.
