[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Usually, the control modules of kitchen appliances are embedded in the products themselves, and users can control the kitchen appliances through the control modules when using them. Moreover, when users are faced with some kitchen appliances installed at a low position, they often need to bend down to control them, which is inconvenient for users. When users have multiple kitchen appliances installed at home, they need to install multiple matching control modules, and users need to control them separately in different control modules, which is inconvenient for users.

[0031] Based on this, a control method, device and control device for kitchen appliances provided in an embodiment of the present invention can effectively alleviate the above technical problems.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a control method for a kitchen appliance disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail.

[0033] In a possible implementation manner, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a kitchen appliance, which is applied to a control device.

[0034] Specifically, the control device in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a device for controlling kitchen appliances, and may be a separately set central device including a processor, a communication module, and a graphic display interface, etc. In addition, it may also be an intelligent terminal with a control application installed, such as a smartphone, tablet computer, PDA, desktop computer, etc. used by a user, which may install a corresponding application APP and also realize control of kitchen appliances.

[0035] Furthermore, the graphical user interface of the control device in the embodiment of the present invention is usually implemented by a touch panel. For example, a touch display panel is configured on the control device, which can display data such as the working status of the kitchen appliance, recipe information, user prompts, etc., and can also display the control buttons corresponding to the kitchen appliance. The touch display panel can recognize the touch of the user's finger, and the user can control the corresponding kitchen appliance by clicking the control buttons displayed on the touch display panel.

[0036] Furthermore, the kitchen appliances in the embodiments of the present invention, also referred to as kitchen appliances, include integrated stoves, all-in-one machines, steamers, ovens, all-in-one steamers and ovens, etc., and are smart kitchen appliances with various cooking functions. In addition, the kitchen appliances are generally equipped with a communication module, which can realize wireless communication with the control device.

[0037] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for controlling a kitchen appliance is shown, the method comprising the following steps:

[0038] Step S102, displaying at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled through a graphical user interface;

[0039] In specific implementation, in an embodiment of the present invention, the kitchen appliance to be controlled generally refers to a kitchen appliance that has established a communication connection with the control device. At this time, the device identification of the kitchen appliance to be controlled can be displayed on the graphical user interface of the control device for the user to select.

[0040] Step S104, in response to a selection operation on at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled, determining the selected at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled as a target device;

[0041] Step S106, in response to the selection operation being completed, displaying a control interface through a graphical user interface;

[0042] The control interface in the embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of control areas; and the number of the control areas matches the number of the target devices;

[0043] Step S108: displaying an operation interface of the target device in each control area to control the target device.

[0044] In specific implementation, in the above step S104, the user can select one or more kitchen appliances to be controlled, that is, the selected kitchen appliances to be controlled means that they can be centrally controlled by the user during the subsequent cooking process. Therefore, in the above step S106, after the selection operation is completed, the control interface can be displayed through the graphical user interface.

[0045] In actual use, in order to facilitate user control, the control device can automatically adjust the size of the control area of ​​the control interface according to the number of connected kitchen appliances and perform partition design. In addition, each control area can display the working status of the controlled kitchen appliance and the corresponding control buttons, so that users can use multiple kitchen appliances at the same time.

[0046] In specific implementation, the number of buttons, button functions, status display mode of the kitchen appliance and other information displayed in each control area can be designed and adjusted according to the specific circumstances of the kitchen appliance, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0047] The control method of kitchen appliances provided by the embodiment of the present invention can display at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled through a graphical user interface; then respond to a selection operation on at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled, determine the selected at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled as a target device; further respond to the end of the selection operation, display the control interface through the graphical user interface; and the control interface includes multiple control areas matching the number of target devices, and the operation interface of the target device can be displayed in each control area to control the target device. During the control process, the user only needs to operate on the graphical user interface of the control device to control the corresponding kitchen appliance. At the same time, multiple kitchen appliances can be controlled, which not only facilitates user use but also improves the user experience.

[0048] In actual use, in order to facilitate the communication connection between the control device and the kitchen appliance, after the control device is started, the connection signal of the kitchen appliance can be monitored in real time. For example, the user can manually turn on the power signal of the kitchen appliance, power the communication module, and transmit a connection signal, or the communication module of the kitchen appliance can be separately configured with a power supply and configured to always allow the communication module to transmit a connection signal, etc., so that the control device can monitor the connection signal of the kitchen appliance at any time. The specific situation is subject to actual use and is not limited in this regard in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0049] Furthermore, after the user starts the control device, the controller of the control device can respond to the start-up of the control device and detect whether there is a connection signal from the kitchen appliance; if so, the kitchen appliance can be connected and the kitchen appliance can be determined as the kitchen appliance to be controlled, and the device identification of at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled can be displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0050] The user can select one or more kitchen appliances to be controlled to achieve linkage control of multiple kitchen appliances.

[0051] Furthermore, the control device can also count the number of target devices so that when multiple kitchen appliances are controlled in a linked manner, the size of the control area of ​​the control interface can be automatically adjusted.

[0052] For ease of understanding, Figure 1 On the basis of Figure 2 A flow chart of another method for controlling a kitchen appliance is also shown, which further explains the display mode of the control interface and the control process of the kitchen appliance.

[0053] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0054] Step S202, the response control device starts;

[0055] Step S204, detecting whether there is a connection signal from a kitchen appliance;

[0056] If yes, execute step S206, if no, return to step S204.

[0057] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned connection signal in the embodiment of the present invention generally refers to the wireless signal transmitted by the communication module of the kitchen appliance. If the above-mentioned connection signal is not detected, it means that the surrounding kitchen appliances are not started. At this time, the graphical user interface of the control device can display that the connection signal of the kitchen appliance cannot be detected, so as to prompt the user to start the corresponding kitchen appliance.

[0058] Usually, in the case where no connection signal can be detected, the control device can wait for a certain time interval t0 and then return to step S204 to continue detecting whether there is a wireless signal of the corresponding kitchen appliance; wherein the time interval t0 is also a time given to the user to start the kitchen appliance, and the specific t0 duration can be set according to actual usage, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0059] Furthermore, if a connection signal is detected, the control device may also provide a prompt, such as displaying the device identification of the detected kitchen appliance, etc., so as to facilitate the continued execution of the following steps.

[0060] Step S206, connecting the kitchen appliance, determining the kitchen appliance as the kitchen appliance to be controlled, and displaying a device identification of at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled on the graphical user interface;

[0061] Specifically, when connecting kitchen appliances, users can simply click on the kitchen appliances they need to use and connect the corresponding kitchen appliances to the control device. Alternatively, users can also select an automatic connection mode, that is, when the control device detects the connection signal of the corresponding kitchen appliance, it automatically connects wirelessly to the kitchen appliance for user convenience. The specific connection method can be set according to actual usage, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0062] Step S208, in response to a selection operation on at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled, determining the selected at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled as a target device;

[0063] Step S210, in response to the selection operation being completed, counting the number of target devices;

[0064] Step S212, determining whether the number of target devices is greater than a preset number threshold;

[0065] If yes, go to step S214, if no, go to step S220,

[0066] Step S214, controlling the graphical user interface to display a first control interface;

[0067] Step S220, controlling the graphical user interface to display a second control interface;

[0068] In a specific implementation, in an embodiment of the present invention, if the number of target devices is greater than a preset number threshold, the graphical user interface is controlled to display a first control interface.

[0069] Among them, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control area in the first control interface includes a main control area and multiple sub-control areas, the area of ​​the main control area is larger than the area of ​​the sub-control area, and the main control area and each sub-control area correspond to a target device respectively to control the target device.

[0070] Specifically, if the number of target devices is greater than the preset number threshold, it means that the number of kitchen appliances connected to the control device is large, that is, there are many kitchen appliances that are currently linked simultaneously. Therefore, when the control interface displays multiple control areas, the area allocated to each control area will be relatively small, and the working information of the kitchen appliances displayed in each control area and the comprehensive control buttons will also be relatively small, which is inconvenient for users to use. In the embodiment of the present invention, the control areas are distinguished and adjusted by setting the main control area and the sub-control area as described above, so that the control interface of the kitchen appliance that the user is operating can be displayed in the main control area in the form of a main screen. The main screen occupies a larger space, and the displayed working information and control buttons are also larger, which is convenient for users to operate.

[0071] The interfaces of other kitchen appliances that do not need to be controlled temporarily will be displayed in the sub-control area in the form of a small screen. If the user needs to control other kitchen appliances, the user only needs to click on the sub-controller corresponding to the kitchen appliance, that is, the small screen, and then the main screen and the small screen will be interchanged. The operating interface of the kitchen appliance originally set by the user will be displayed in the small screen, and the operating interface of the kitchen appliance that the user just clicked will be switched from the small screen to the main screen of the main control area. The specific size and arrangement of the main screen and each small screen can be adjusted according to the graphical user interface, or the size of the control interface and the number of linked kitchen appliances, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0072] Further, if the number of target devices is not greater than the quantity threshold, the control graphical user interface displays a second control interface; wherein, in the second control interface in the embodiment of the present invention, the area of ​​multiple control zones is equal, and each control zone corresponds to a target device to control the target device.

[0073] In addition, for the number of target devices obtained by the above statistics, the control area can also be displayed on the control interface according to the number of target devices; wherein the total area of ​​the control area displayed at this time is less than or equal to the area of ​​the graphical user interface displaying the control interface. In this way, the control area can be displayed in a tiled manner in the control interface. For example, the area of ​​the control interface corresponding to the display area of ​​the graphical user interface can be configured, and then the area of ​​each control area can be matched according to the number of target devices and the area of ​​the control interface, so that multiple control areas can be tiled on the control interface, which is convenient for users to perform control operations. The specific tiling method of the control area and the area of ​​each control area can be set according to the actual usage situation, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0074] Further, based on the display mode of the first control interface and the second control interface, when a large number of kitchen appliances are connected and it is inconvenient for the user to operate, the operation interface of the target device can be displayed in the form of a main control area and a sub-control area, and when the number of connected kitchen appliances is moderate, the operation interface of the target device can be displayed in a uniform partitioning manner. For details, refer to the following steps.

[0075] Step S216, in the first control interface, in response to the control operation, determining the target device corresponding to the control operation as the main control device;

[0076] Step S218, displaying the operation interface of the main control device in the main control area, and displaying the operation interface of other target devices in each sub-control area;

[0077] At this time, the control device displays the control interface in a main control area and a sub-control area display mode, that is, the operation interface of the kitchen appliance directly operated by the control device will be in the main control area, and the operation interface of other kitchen appliances will be in the sub-control area. When the user clicks on the sub-control area corresponding to the kitchen appliance, the main control area and the sub-control area will be swapped.

[0078] Furthermore, based on the operating interface displayed in the main control area and the sub-control area, when the user controls the kitchen appliances, the control device can respond to the control operation acting on the operating interface of the main control device and generate corresponding control instructions; then send the control instructions to the main control device to control the main control device.

[0079] Step S222, displaying the operation interface of the target device in each control area of ​​the second control interface;

[0080] Specifically, in the second control interface, if the user needs to operate or control one of the kitchen appliances, he can directly operate in each control area of ​​the second control interface. At this time, the control device can respond to the control operation of the operating interface acting on any target device and generate corresponding control instructions; then send the control instructions to the corresponding target device to control the target device.

[0081] Furthermore, when the kitchen appliance is powered off or disconnected from the control device, the control device may further respond to the change in the number of target devices and re-determine whether the current number of target devices is greater than a preset number threshold; that is, return to step S212, if yes, control the graphical user interface to display the first control interface; if no, control the graphical user interface to display the second control interface. That is, when the number of target devices changes, it is necessary to re-confirm the display mode of the control interface to achieve automatic adaptive adjustment of the size of the operation interface of the kitchen appliance displayed on the graphical user interface.

[0082] In summary, the control method of kitchen appliances provided by the embodiment of the present invention is that the control device can be linked with other kitchen appliances in a wireless communication manner and control other kitchen appliances. The graphical user interface of the control device is a touch panel, and the touch panel can display the working status of each kitchen appliance and the control buttons corresponding to the kitchen appliance. The user can touch the control buttons on these touch panels to control the corresponding kitchen appliances. At the same time, the control area displayed on the touch panel can also be designed with diversified partitions. The touch panel can be partitioned according to the number of connected kitchen appliances, that is, the information displayed on the touch panel is divided into multiple control areas, and each control area separately displays an operation interface of a kitchen appliance, which is convenient for users to control multiple kitchen appliances at the same time.

[0083] Furthermore, the partitioning of the touch panel can either divide the control interface into several windows of equal size, or adopt a design of a main control area + multiple sub-control areas.

[0084] For ease of understanding, Figure 3 A partitioning method of the control area is shown, which corresponds to the second control interface mentioned above, wherein: Figure 3 In the figure, the display of the control area on the touch panel is shown when one to four kitchen appliances are linked. Specifically, the graphical user interface will be divided into control areas equal to the number of connected kitchen appliances, and each control area will display the operation interface of a kitchen appliance separately. Each operation interface can display the working status of the kitchen appliance and the corresponding control buttons, so that users can use multiple kitchen appliances at the same time.

[0085] further, Figure 4Another control area partitioning method is shown, corresponding to the first control interface above. Figure 4 What is shown in the figure is a partitioning method of a main control area + 4 sub-control areas. The main control area is used as the main screen, and the sub-control area is used as a small screen. The operating interface of the kitchen appliance that the user is operating will be displayed in the middle in the form of a main screen. The main screen occupies a larger space, and the displayed information and control buttons are also larger, which is convenient for users to operate. The operating interfaces of other kitchen appliances that do not need to be operated temporarily will be displayed in the form of small screens around the main screen. If the user needs to control other kitchen appliances, the user only needs to click on the small screen corresponding to the kitchen appliance, and then the main screen and the small screen will be swapped. The operating interface of the kitchen appliance that the user originally set will be displayed in the small screen, and the small screen of the kitchen appliance that the user just clicked will be displayed in the main screen, which is not only convenient for users to operate, but also helps to improve the user experience.

[0086] Further, based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present invention also provide a control device for kitchen appliances, which is applied to control appliances such as Figure 5 The structure diagram of a control device for kitchen appliances shown in FIG. 1 includes:

[0087] A first display module 50, used for displaying at least one kitchen appliance to be controlled through a graphical user interface;
