[0020] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The figure shows an overall flow chart of a smart wardrobe system provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following 7 steps: 1) User sends instructions through the interactive interface: The user enters instructions through the user interactive interface of the smart wardrobe system, such as selecting specific clothes, checking weather-compatible clothes, etc. 2) The control unit receives commands and obtains weather information: The control unit (such as the ESP8266 development board) receives user commands and obtains real-time weather information through a network connection (such as Wi-Fi). 3) The control unit calculates motor parameters based on instructions, weather information, and preference settings: The control unit calculates the motor operating parameters corresponding to the target clothing, such as movement direction, movement speed, rotation angle, etc., using a preset algorithm based on user instructions, weather information, and preference feedback information provided by the user through the interactive interface; 4) RFID module identifies clothing tags and determines the target clothing and its original location: The RFID module identifies clothing tags attached to clothing, obtains clothing identification information, and determines the target clothing required by the user and its current location (original location); 5) The control unit calculates the moving time of the target clothing: The control unit calculates the time required for the clothing to move based on the original position of the target clothing and the target position (door position); 6) The drive unit controls the motor according to the motor parameters and movement time: The drive unit receives the motor operating parameters and movement time information sent by the control unit, controls the start, running direction and speed of the motor, and stops it at the appropriate time, so that the clothes move along a preset track (such as a circular guide rail) to the cabinet door position, so that the user can more conveniently take out the target clothes; 7) The clothes move along the circular guide rail to the cabinet door position: Under the control of the drive unit, the clothes move smoothly along the circular guide rail until they reach the target position specified by the user, that is, the cabinet door position.

[0022] It is understandable that the smart wardrobe system may include a control unit, a radio frequency identification module, a clothing tag, and a drive unit; wherein the control unit is used to receive instructions sent by the user end and connect to the user end network to obtain weather information; the radio frequency identification module is used to identify the clothing tag to determine the target clothing based on the acquired clothing information; the clothing tag is a unique identifier for each piece of clothing, attached to each piece of clothing and stores the identification information of each piece of clothing; the drive unit is used to control the target clothing to move to the target position along a preset track. This smart wardrobe system is designed to provide users with a convenient and intelligent clothing management solution. By integrating core components such as the control unit, radio frequency identification module, clothing tag, and drive unit, the system can automatically screen and move the target clothing to the designated location according to user instructions and weather information, realizing a more intelligent clothing presentation and greatly improving the user's daily dressing experience.

[0023] Specifically, the control unit receives commands from the user and connects to the user's network (such as Wi-Fi) to obtain real-time weather information. Based on the user's commands and weather information, it uses a preset algorithm to calculate the motor operating parameters corresponding to the target clothing item and control the drive unit to move the clothing item. Furthermore, the control unit can also more accurately select target clothing items based on user preference feedback.

[0024] The RFID module uses radio frequency technology to identify clothing tags attached to each piece of clothing, obtaining identification information (such as style, color, and material) and using this information to identify the target clothing item. Furthermore, the RFID module can also determine the original location of the target item based on the clothing tag.

[0025] As a unique identifier for each piece of clothing, a clothing tag is attached to the clothing and uses contactless RFID technology to store the clothing's identification information. This information is read when the clothing is identified by the RFID module and used to identify the target clothing.

[0026] The drive unit, which includes a motor and its control system, controls the motor's start, run, and stop based on the motor's operating parameters (such as direction and speed) sent by the control unit, thereby enabling the automatic movement of clothing. The drive unit is also responsible for moving the target clothing from its original position along a pre-set track to its target location.

[0027] As an optional embodiment of the present application, the control unit is an ESP8266 development board, and the ESP8266 development board calculates the motor operating parameters corresponding to the target clothing through a preset algorithm.

[0028] Specifically, the control unit uses the ESP8266 development board as the main control chip, and can calculate the motor operating parameters corresponding to the target clothing through a preset algorithm. The motor operating parameters may include but are not limited to the motor's rotation angle, running time, movement direction, and movement speed.

[0029] As another optional embodiment of the present application, the driving unit controls the movement direction and movement speed of the motor according to the received motor operating parameters.

[0030] Specifically, the drive unit consists of at least one motor and an L298N driver chip. The L298N can simultaneously drive two DC motors or one two-phase stepper motor, with a drive current of up to 2A per motor (some versions may vary slightly) and an output voltage of up to 50V. This meets the motor drive needs of small robots, smart cars, small mechanical devices, and other applications. The L298N driver chip can easily change the direction of motor rotation by controlling the input pins on the module. For example, for motor 1, changing the input levels of IN1 and IN2 enables forward or reverse rotation. Similarly, IN3 and IN4 control the rotation direction of motor 2. Furthermore, the driver chip utilizes pulse-width modulation (PWM) technology to precisely adjust the speed of both motors by varying the duty cycle of the enable pins (ENA and ENB). A larger duty cycle increases the average voltage applied to the motor and increases the speed.

[0031] As another optional embodiment of the present application, the control unit determines the target clothing based on weather information and clothing tags.

[0032] Specifically, the control unit may determine corresponding clothing tags based on weather information (such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather phenomena). Clothing tags may include color, material, type, etc. For example, when the temperature is above 30°C, the determined clothing tags may be "short-sleeved T-shirts" and "shorts," which are lightweight and breathable clothing tags. When the temperature is between 20°C and 30°C, the determined clothing tags may be "long-sleeved shirts" and "thin coats," which are moderately thick clothing tags. When the temperature is between 10°C and 20°C, the determined clothing tags may be "sweaters" and "jackets," which are slightly thicker clothing tags. When the temperature is below 10°C, the determined clothing tags may be "down jackets" and "coats," which are better at keeping warm. When raining, the determined clothing tags may be "raincoats" and "waterproof shoes," which are better at waterproofing. When sunny, the determined clothing tags may be "sunglasses" and "sun hats," which are better at sun protection.

[0033] As another optional embodiment of the present application, the preset track is an annular guide rail, and at least two hanging points are provided on the annular guide rail, each hanging point is used to hang a single piece of clothing and fix a single piece of clothing.

[0034] Specifically, a circular guide rail is used as the movement track of the clothes, and at least two hanging points are set on the guide rail. Each hanging point is used to hang a single piece of clothing and fix its position to ensure the stability and safety of the clothes during the movement.

[0035] It should be noted that in this smart wardrobe system, the circular rail is designed as a closed loop that extends around the interior or exterior of the wardrobe. The rail is made of high-strength, low-friction materials such as stainless steel or special alloys to ensure long-term durability and stability. The rail features a series of precision-machined mounting points, evenly spaced to ensure each piece of clothing is stably supported and positioned. To attach clothing to the circular rail, the user simply hooks or clips a specific part of the garment (such as the collar) onto a mounting point. Then, manually or automatically (e.g., through the system's control panel or smartphone app), the user instructs the system to move the mounting point on the circular rail to move the garment to the designated storage location. Once the garment is attached to the mounting point, the hook or clip securely grips the garment, preventing it from slipping or shaking during movement. Furthermore, because the mounting points are securely attached to the circular rail, the garment remains stably mounted even when subjected to impact or vibration during movement.

[0036] As another option of the embodiment of the present application, the radio frequency identification module determines the original position of the target clothing according to the clothing tag of the target clothing.

[0037] Specifically, each piece of clothing is equipped with an RFID tag with a unique code, which stores relevant information about the clothing, such as style, size, color, and original storage location. The radio frequency identification module can determine the location of the target clothing based on these tags.

[0038] As another optional embodiment of the present application, the control unit calculates the moving time according to the original position and the target position of the target clothing.

[0039] Specifically, the control unit can calculate the straight-line distance between the original position and target position information of the target clothing or the length of the actual moving path, and then use the corresponding formula or algorithm to calculate the required moving time. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the impact of the acceleration and deceleration process on the moving time, as well as the time required for possible obstacle detection and avoidance.

[0040] As another optional embodiment of the present application, the driving unit controls the start and stop of the motor according to the movement time.

[0041] Specifically, the movement time is the total time required from the start to the stop of the motor. The driving unit can send a start signal to the motor according to the movement time, and send a stop signal when the predetermined time ends.

[0042] As another optional embodiment of the present application, the system also includes a user interaction interface, which is used to receive user preference feedback information and send the preference feedback information to the control unit so that the control unit can more accurately screen out target clothing.

[0043] Specifically, the smart wardrobe system also includes a user interface (UI). This UI provides an interactive platform between the user and the smart wardrobe system. It receives user feedback on preferences (such as color and material preferences) and sends this information to the control unit. The UI also displays information such as system status and operational prompts.

[0044] As another optional embodiment of the present application, the user interaction interface and the control unit communicate through an MQTT server.

[0045] Specifically, the user interface and the control unit communicate via an MQTT server to ensure the reliability and real-time nature of data transmission, wherein the control unit acts as a subscriber to the MQTT server.

[0046] It can be understood that during the operation of the entire smart wardrobe system, users can send instructions through the user interaction interface to request the smart wardrobe system to screen and move target clothes; the control unit is responsible for receiving user instructions and connecting to the user-side network to obtain real-time weather information, so that the motor working parameters corresponding to the target clothes can be calculated through a preset algorithm based on user instructions and weather information (as well as user preference feedback information); the radio frequency identification module is used to identify clothing tags, obtain clothing identification information, and determine the target clothing and its original position; the control unit can also calculate the total time required for the target clothing to move from the original position to the target position based on the original position and target position of the target clothing; the drive unit can control the movement direction, movement speed, start and stop of the motor according to the motor working parameters and movement time to realize automatic movement of clothes; after the target clothing moves to the specified position, the system can send a prompt signal (such as sound, light, etc.) to inform the user that the operation is complete.

[0047] This smart wardrobe system integrates radio frequency identification technology and intelligent algorithms to automatically sort and move clothing, enhancing the user's dressing experience. Furthermore, it supports user preference feedback through a user interface, enabling the system to more accurately meet user needs, providing users with a more convenient and efficient clothing management solution.

That is, any equivalent changes and modifications made according to the teachings of the present disclosure are still within the scope of the present disclosure. After considering the specification and practicing the disclosure herein, those skilled in the art will easily think of the implementation scheme of the present disclosure.
