[0039] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.

[0040] The smart home appliance control method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to control smart home appliances, for example, can be applied to control a smart refrigerator during operation.

[0041] Smart home appliances are equipped with devices that support the operation of smart home appliances. For example, the compressor, fan, damper, defrost heater, etc. in smart refrigerators. Among them, the devices in smart home appliances will make sounds when working. In addition, sometimes the sound made by the device is relatively loud, which may cause users to mistakenly believe that the sound is the sound of abnormal operation of the device (abnormal sound, or abnormal sound), causing unnecessary panic and complaints.

[0042] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a method for controlling smart home appliances, which prompts the working status of the device based on the volume of the sound emitted by the device in the smart home appliance, so that the user can intuitively and clearly understand the working status of the device, improve the user experience, avoid causing some unnecessary panic and complaints, and facilitate the use and maintenance of home appliances such as refrigerators.

[0043] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a smart home appliance control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0044] In step S11, a signal output by at least one sound sensor in the smart home appliance is obtained.

[0045] In the disclosed embodiment, a sound sensor is installed in the smart home appliance, and the sound sensor can detect the sound emitted by the components in the smart home appliance and determine the volume of the sound.

[0046] The number of sound sensors installed in the smart home appliance is one or more. The installation position of the sound sensor in the smart home appliance can be determined based on the installation position of the device that can emit sound in the smart home appliance. For example, the sound sensor can be installed near the device that emits sound.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the device that emits the sound may be determined based on the sound detected by the sound sensor.

[0048] In step S12, the device that emits the sound and the volume of the sound are determined according to the signal output by the sound sensor.

[0049] In step S13, the working status of the device is prompted based on the volume of the sound.

[0050] In the disclosed embodiment, the smart home appliance prompts the corresponding working status of the device based on the volume of the sound detected by the sound sensor.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the working state of the device includes a normal working state and an abnormal working state. The device being in a normal working state can be understood as the working performance of the device meeting the normal execution of the function implemented by the smart home appliance based on the device. The device being in an abnormal state can be understood as the working performance of the device not meeting the normal execution of the function implemented by the smart home appliance based on the device.

[0052] The working state of the device involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure has nothing to do with the volume of the sound.

[0053] The smart home appliance control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can prompt the working status of the device based on the volume of the sound emitted by the device, thereby enabling the user to intuitively and clearly understand the working status of the device in the smart home appliance.

[0054] Different working states of the device in the embodiment of the present disclosure correspond to sounds of different volumes.

[0055] In one implementation of the disclosed embodiment, when it is determined that the volume of the sound emitted by the detected device is loud, a prompt of the device working status is given to prevent the user from being unclear about the actual working status of the device after hearing the loud sound.

[0056] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for prompting a working status of a device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0057] In step S21, it is determined that the volume of the sound emitted by the component in the smart home appliance is greater than a first volume threshold.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first volume threshold is a volume value determined according to the experimental value of the relevant experiment. When the sound emitted by the device is greater than the first volume threshold, people may think that the device is in an abnormal working state. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is determined that the volume of the sound emitted by the device in the smart home appliance is greater than the first volume threshold, the working state of the device is prompted so that the user can clearly understand the actual working state of the device in the smart home appliance.

[0059] In step S22, the working status of the device is prompted.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the prompting device working state includes prompting the device normal working state or abnormal working state.

[0061] The smart home appliance control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure prompts the working status of the device when it is detected that the volume of the sound emitted by the device is greater than a first volume threshold, so that the user can clearly understand the actual working status of the device in the smart home appliance, thereby avoiding the user mistakenly believing that the device in the smart home appliance is malfunctioning when the smart home appliance emits a loud sound when working normally.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the volume range of the sound emitted by the device in the normal working state and the volume range of the device in the abnormal working state can be set. Therefore, when the device is detected to emit a sound, it is determined whether the volume range of the detected sound volume belongs to the volume range of the sound emitted in the normal working state or the volume range of the sound emitted in the abnormal working state, and a prompt information that conforms to the actual working state is clearly issued.

[0063] Figure 3 is a flow chart of a method for indicating a normal working state of a device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0064] In step S31, the working state of the device is determined. In step S32, the working state of the device is determined to be a normal working state.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the device is in a normal working state, because the sound generated is loud (greater than the first volume threshold), information can be issued to prompt that the device is in a normal working state, hereinafter referred to as the first information.

[0066] In step S33, first information is displayed. The first information includes identification information of the device and is used to indicate that the device is in a normal working state.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first information includes identification information of the device, which can identify the device currently emitting the sound. The first information also includes prompt information that the working state of the device is a normal working state, which can let the user know that the smart home appliance is in a normal working state at this time.

[0068] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a method for indicating an abnormal working state of a device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0069] In step S41, the operating state of the device is determined.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first volume threshold value belongs to the volume range generated by the abnormal working state of the device, the sound generated is loud (greater than the first volume threshold value), and the device is in an abnormal working state, so information prompting that the device is in an abnormal working state is issued, hereinafter referred to as the second information.

[0071] In step S42, it is determined that the working state of the device is an abnormal working state.

[0072] In step S43, the second information is displayed. The second information includes identification information of the device and is used to indicate that the device is in an abnormal working state.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information includes identification information of the device, which can identify the device that currently emits the sound.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information includes prompt information that the device is in an abnormal working state, which can enable the user to clearly understand that the smart home appliance is in an abnormal working state at this time.

[0075] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, information can be displayed on the display screen of the smart home appliance, and / or information can be sent to a target device associated with the smart home appliance to indicate the working status of the device in the smart home appliance. The information displayed on the display screen or sent to the target device includes first information and / or second information. The first information includes identification information of the device and is used to indicate that the device is in a normal working state; the second information includes identification information of the device and is used to indicate that the device is in an abnormal working state.

[0076] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when a device working status prompt is given, the prompt may be given on a smart home appliance. For example, when the main control board of the smart home appliance controls the operation of each device, the main control board of the smart home appliance transmits information prompting the working status of the device to a display screen based on the volume detected by a sound sensor, and displays identification information and the working status of the device being operated on the display screen.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the device working status prompt is performed, it can be sent to the terminal associated with the smart home appliance. For example, when the main control board of the smart home appliance controls the operation of each device, information can be sent to the target device associated with the smart home appliance, and the information is used to prompt the working status of the device. In one example, the information is sent to the cloud, and then sent to the terminal by the cloud, and the identification information and working status of the working device are displayed on the application of the terminal to remind the user.

[0078] Figure 5 is a flow chart of a smart home appliance control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the smart home appliance control method is used in the smart home appliance, comprising the following steps:

[0079] In step S51, the main control board of the smart home appliance controls the components to work. The main control board controls the normal operation and operation of each component in the smart home appliance, controls the sound sensor and the display panel, and transmits information to the APP through the WIFI module to control the APP to give corresponding prompts.

[0080] In step S52, the main control board determines whether the user turns on the reminder function. If the user turns on the reminder function, the next step S53 is performed; if the user does not turn on the reminder function, the process returns to the previous step S51.

[0081] In step S53, the sound sensor determines whether the volume is greater than the first volume threshold. The sound sensor detects the volume of the sound according to the received sound signal and compares it with the first volume threshold. If it is greater than the first volume threshold, the user is prompted accordingly according to different working states; if it is less than the first volume threshold, no prompt is given.

[0082] In step S54, if the working state of the device is a normal working state.

[0083] In step S55, the first information is displayed. The first information includes identification information of the device and is used to indicate that the device is in a normal working state. When the volume of the detected device is greater than the first volume threshold, the device is in a normal working state, and the first information is displayed to the user. The first information includes that the display panel shows that the corresponding icon of the device is bright and displayed in green, the main control board is connected to the APP through the WIFI module, and the APP shows that the device is in a normal working state.

[0084] In step S56, if the working state of the device is an abnormal working state.

[0085] In step S57, the second information is displayed. The second information includes identification information of the device and is used to indicate that the device is in an abnormal working state. When the volume of the detected device is greater than the first volume threshold, the device is in an abnormal working state, and the second information is displayed to the user. The second information includes that the display panel displays the device corresponding icon is bright and displayed in red, the main control board is connected to the APP through the WIFI module, the APP displays that the device is in an abnormal working state, and sends the device abnormal working information to the user, so as to inform the user of the working state of the device in a timely manner.

[0086] The embodiments of the present disclosure will now illustrate the smart home appliance control method involved above by taking a smart refrigerator as an example.

[0087] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a smart refrigerator structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, the smart refrigerator 200 includes an APP module 201, a WIFI module 202, a display panel 203, a sound sensor 204, a main control panel 205, a defrost heater 206, a compressor 207, a fan 208, a damper 209 and other components 210.

[0088] The APP module 201 is used to display the device working information and send corresponding prompt information to the user when receiving the corresponding signal.

[0089] The WIFI module 202 is used for connection and information transmission between the main control board and the APP.

[0090] The display panel 203 is used to display different working states of the device.

[0091] The display principle of the display panel 203 is to use a display screen and electronic components to realize pattern display. The electronic components are components that constitute the control circuit of the liquid crystal screen, including display control chips, driver chips, etc., and the display effect is realized by applying an electric field to control the direction of liquid crystal molecules.

[0092] The display panel 203 includes icons corresponding to each device, and the display status of each device can be clearly seen. Different working states correspond to different icon display modes, for example:

[0093] A: The device is not working, the corresponding icon is not lit, and no color is displayed.

[0094] B: The device is working normally, the corresponding icon is on and the color is green.

[0095] C: The device is working abnormally, the corresponding icon is on and the color is red.

[0096] It is understandable that the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the icon display mode and display color. The above is only an exemplary description and is not intended to be limiting.

[0097] The sound sensor 204 is used to detect the volume of the sound emitted by the device.

[0098] The sound sensor 204 can convert the sound wave signal into an electrical signal. The internal components include a diaphragm, a capacitor, an amplifier, etc. When the sound wave propagates to the sensing area of ​​the sound sensor, the vibration element inside the sensor will vibrate, thereby generating an electrical signal. They can output the converted electrical signal to the control system, thereby realizing the collection, processing and transmission of the sound. The size of the collected electrical signal is related to the frequency and amplitude of the sound wave.

[0099] The plurality of sound sensors 204 are respectively placed near corresponding devices to facilitate the accuracy of the detection results.

[0100] The main control board 205 controls the normal operation and movement of each component in the smart home appliance, controls the sound sensor and the display board, and transmits information to the APP through the WIFI module to control the APP to give corresponding prompts.

[0101] The defrost heater 206, the defrost timer is the original component that controls the operation of the defrost heater. It calculates the working cycle of the compressor. Generally, the defrost command will be executed when the compressor has worked for 8 hours. At this time, the defrost timer will supply power to the defrost heater to realize defrosting, thereby providing the refrigerator with an automatic defrosting function.

[0102] Compressor 207, the compressor is the core component of the refrigerator. Its function is to absorb low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant, compress it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, then dissipate heat through the condenser and turn it into high-pressure liquid, and finally reduce the pressure through the expansion valve and turn it into low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant, completing a refrigeration cycle, thereby realizing the refrigeration function of the refrigerator.

[0103] The fan 208 includes a fan located below the refrigerator and a fan located inside the refrigerator. The fan 208 located below the refrigerator is used to cool the compressor and force air through the outer coil. The fan 208 located inside the refrigerator causes air to flow around the inner coil.

[0104] The damper 209 is a fan system controller of a temperature control system and a compressor protection system (including overcurrent protection and pipeline high and low pressure protection). The refrigerator can control the air volume of the refrigerator through the damper to achieve the purpose of controlling the temperature of the refrigerator compartment.

[0105] By using the smart home appliance control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the devices in the smart refrigerator are working, the main control board controls the working of each device, and the main control board transmits the working information to the display board, and the display board displays the working device. On the other hand, the main control board controls the working of each device, and the main control board transmits the working information to the APP through the cloud to remind the user of the working status of the device.

[0106] Figure 7 is a flow chart of a smart refrigerator control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0107] In step S71, the device operates.

[0108] In step S72, it is determined whether the user turns on the reminder function.

[0109] In step S73, the sound sensor detects whether the volume is greater than a preset value. If yes, the process proceeds to step S74. If no, the process returns to step S73.

[0110] In step S74, the main control panel transmits the information to the display panel.

[0111] In step S75, the display panel displays the working device.

[0112] In step S76, the main control board transmits the information to the cloud.

[0113] In step S77, the APP displays the working device.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target device associated with the smart home appliance is a second device different from the smart home appliance, and may be a smart phone, a tablet, a computer, a smart watch, etc., including but not limited to the above devices.

[0115] Based on the same concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a smart home appliance control device.

[0116] It is understandable that the smart home appliance control device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function in order to realize the above functions. In combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art may use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure.
