[0071] S140, storing the ranking in the server as the ranking displayed on the main interface of the receiving terminal APP next time.

[0072] In order to improve the user experience, the habits and preferences of general users are fixed and sustainable, so the current sorting is stored in the server, so that the main interface of the receiving terminal APP directly displays the main interface of the APP sorted last time, which is convenient for user operation and improves the user experience.

[0073] In one embodiment, before the receiving user performs an operation in the main interface of the receiving terminal APP, the present invention includes:

[0074] The APP main interface is displayed in response to receiving a user input of the terminal.

[0075] The user input includes a user account and a login password.

[0076] After the user clicks the washing machine app icon on the receiving terminal device, such as a mobile phone or tablet, he or she must enter the user account and login password to enter the APP main interface, realize the call and control of subsequent programs, and increase security.

[0077] In an application scenario, a family purchases a washing machine A, which corresponds to a set of user accounts B and login passwords C. The family includes members M1, M2, and M3, and the mobile phones corresponding to members M1, M2, and M3 are P1, P2, and P3.

[0078] Member M1 clicks on the washing machine A app on mobile phone P1 and enters the login user account B and login password C to enter the APP main interface.

[0079] When user M1 needs to control washing machine A to start washing, he first puts the clothes in washing machine A and finds the laundry program tab corresponding to the desired laundry program from the displayed sorting. User M1 can sort all the laundry program tabs according to the material of the family's clothes, cleaning efficiency, dirt storage, water collection requirements, etc., and can put the frequently used ones in the front row, so that they can be highlighted and the selection efficiency and convenience can be improved.

[0080] In the settings of user M1, a new home ltb is created, and the home ltb can generate a QR code. Users M2 and M3 can enter the home ltb by scanning the code, so that users M2 and M3 can also control the operation of washing machine A in their respective mobile phones P2 and P3. When user M2 or M3 logs in to the washing machine app on his mobile phone, the order of the last washing program tab can be synchronously displayed on the main interface of the APP.

[0081] In one embodiment, the operation of the receiving user in the main interface of the receiving terminal APP includes:

[0102] Displaying a first confirmation button and a first close button on the pop-up window;

[0103] Receiving an operation instruction from a user to click the first confirmation button or receiving an operation instruction from a user to click the first close button;

[0104] The determining whether the operation satisfies a preset trigger condition includes:

[0105] If an operation instruction of the user clicking the first confirmation button is received, the preset trigger condition is met.

[0106] In an application scenario, the user selected the quick wash mode last time, and the quick wash laundry program is stored in the server. When the user enters the app next time, the main interface of the receiving terminal APP displays "Quick Wash". The pop-up window also displays a query button, i.e., a first confirmation button and a first close button. If the user still selects the quick wash mode this time, the first confirmation button is clicked (refer to Figure 7 If a "use" button is pressed, the preset trigger condition is met, and the washing machine is further controlled to execute the washing program of the corresponding washing program tab to execute "speed wash", and the executed washing program is stored in the server.

[0107] If the user does not want to perform "Quick Wash" this time, click the first close button (refer to Figure 7 "Do not use" button), after closing, the main interface of the receiving terminal APP will be displayed according to the sorting of the last laundry program tabs. If "Smart Wash" is selected this time, the washing machine will be controlled to execute the "Smart Wash" laundry program, and the executed laundry program will be stored in the server. The next time you enter the app, the pop-up window of "Smart Wash" will be displayed.

[0108] In one embodiment, storing the laundry program to be executed in the server comprises:

[0109] Monitor the status of the baseboard, i.e. the terminal device. If the program is finished running, upload the program information to the server, receive it until the baseboard enters a low power consumption or shutdown state, and store the program.

[0110] The present invention combines the reporting status of the device to upload program data to the server in real time. When the user turns the computer off and on, after entering the app, a pop-up window appears to prompt the user that the program can be used. The user chooses to use it, jumps to the corresponding page, and selects the program for startup.

[0111] The present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising:

[0112] The receiving module is used to receive the user's operation in the main interface of the receiving terminal APP;
