[0032] In order to enable ordinary persons in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0034] The acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical solution disclosed in this disclosure are in compliance with the relevant provisions of national laws and regulations.

[0035] Figure 1 is a flow chart showing a method for controlling a washing machine according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the washing machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0036] S101 : When no wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received, the washing machine is controlled to enter a wake-up state based on the user's behavior and / or the operating state of the washing machine.

[0037] It should be noted that the control method of the washing machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure is executed by an electronic device, which includes a mobile phone, a notebook, a desktop computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a smart home appliance, a wearable device, etc. Among them, the wearable device may include a wrist-worn device (such as a smart watch, a smart bracelet), a head-worn device, a foot-worn device, etc. The control method of the washing machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed by the control device of the washing machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the control device of the washing machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be configured in any electronic device to execute the control method of the washing machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] It should be noted that there are not too many restrictions on the wake-up command, for example, it can include voice commands, gesture commands, touch commands, etc. For example, taking the wake-up command as a voice command as an example, the user's voice information can be collected, and voice recognition can be performed on the user's voice information to obtain the user's recognition text, and identify whether the user's recognition text includes the wake-up word. If the user's recognition text includes the wake-up word, it is determined that the wake-up command of the washing machine has been received. There are not too many restrictions on the wake-up word, for example, it can include "turn on", "start", etc.

[0039] It should be noted that in the related art, the washing machine is controlled to enter the wake-up state only when the wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received. However, in the present solution, if the wake-up instruction of the washing machine is not received, the washing machine can be controlled to enter the wake-up state based on the user's behavior and / or the running state of the washing machine. The user's behavior refers to the behavior that triggers the washing machine to enter the wake-up state, and the user's behavior is not a wake-up instruction, nor is it a behavior that generates a wake-up instruction. The running state of the washing machine refers to the running state that triggers the washing machine to enter the wake-up state.

[0040] In one implementation, determining the behavior of the user may include capturing images of the user, acquiring multiple images, performing human motion recognition on the images, and determining the behavior of the user.

[0041] In one embodiment, determining the user's behavior may include obtaining the user's motion trajectory. If the distance between the trajectory point in the motion trajectory and the washing machine is on a downward trend, the user's behavior is determined to be approaching the washing machine. If the distance between the trajectory point in the motion trajectory and the washing machine is on an upward trend, the user's behavior is determined to be moving away from the washing machine.

[0042] It should be noted that there are not too many limitations on the operating status of the washing machine. For example, it may include the operating status of multiple components of the washing machine, washing not started, washing in progress, washing paused, washing finished, etc.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, based on the user's behavior and / or the running state of the washing machine, controlling the washing machine to enter the awakening state may include the following possible implementations:

[0044] Method 1: If the user's action is to close the drum door of the washing machine, and / or the drum door of the washing machine is in a closed state, the washing machine is controlled to enter a wake-up state.

[0045] Method 2: If the running state of the washing machine is that washing is finished, control the washing machine to enter the wake-up state.

[0046] Method 3: If the user approaches the washing machine, the washing machine is controlled to enter a wake-up state.

[0047] Method 4: Collect the user's voice information, perform semantic analysis on the user's voice information, determine that the user has a voice interaction intention with the washing machine, and control the washing machine to enter a wake-up state.

[0048] It should be noted that the recognition of whether the user has a voice interaction intention with the washing machine can be achieved by using any voice interaction intention recognition method in the relevant technology, and no excessive restrictions are made here. The voice interaction intention corresponding to the washing machine is not too limited. For example, it can include opening and closing the drum door, starting the washing process, pausing the washing process, ending the washing process, selecting the washing mode, configuring the washing parameters, etc. Among them, the washing parameters may include the speed, temperature, etc.

[0049] In some examples, voice recognition is performed on the user's voice information to obtain the user's recognition text, and it is identified whether the user's recognition text includes setting keywords. If the user's recognition text includes at least one setting keyword corresponding to a voice interaction intention, it is determined that the user has a voice interaction intention with the washing machine. Conversely, if the user's recognition text does not include the setting keyword, it is determined that the user has no voice interaction intention with the washing machine.

[0050] It should be noted that there are no excessive restrictions on setting keywords, and different voice interaction intentions may correspond to different setting keywords. For example, the setting keywords corresponding to opening and closing the drum door may include "open the drum door", "close the drum door", etc., the setting keywords corresponding to "start the laundry process" may include "start laundry", "wash now", etc., the setting keywords corresponding to "select laundry mode" may include "mixed mode", "quick wash mode", etc., and the setting keywords corresponding to "configure laundry parameters" may include "speed", "temperature", etc.

[0051] S102, collecting the user's voice information.

[0052] In one implementation, the user's voice information can be collected through a voice collection device on the washing machine. It should be noted that there is no excessive limitation on the voice collection device, for example, it can include a MIC (Microphone) module.

[0053] S103, generating a voice interaction instruction for the washing machine based on the voice information.

[0054] It should be noted that the generation of voice interaction instructions can be achieved by using any voice interaction instruction generation method in the relevant technology, and no further limitations are made here.

[0055] In one embodiment, voice interaction instructions for the washing machine are generated based on voice information, including performing semantic analysis on the voice information, determining the user's voice interaction intention for the washing machine, and generating voice interaction instructions based on the user's voice interaction intention for the washing machine.

[0056] For example, the user may say "open the drum door", and the above voice information may be semantically analyzed to determine that the user's voice interaction intention with the washing machine is to open the drum door. Based on the above voice interaction intention, a voice interaction instruction of "open the drum door" may be generated.

[0057] For example, the user can say "start washing clothes", and the above voice information can be semantically analyzed to determine that the user's voice interaction intention with the washing machine is to start the washing process. Based on the above voice interaction intention, a voice interaction instruction of "start the washing process" can be generated.

[0058] For example, the user may say "mixed mode", and the above voice information may be semantically analyzed to determine that the user's voice interaction intention with the washing machine is to select the washing mode. Based on the above voice interaction intention, a voice interaction instruction of "select the washing mode as mixed mode" may be generated.

[0059] For example, the user can say "the temperature is 30 degrees", and the above voice information can be semantically analyzed to determine that the user's voice interaction intention for the washing machine is to configure washing parameters. Based on the above voice interaction intention, a voice interaction instruction "the washing temperature is 30 degrees Celsius" can be generated.

[0060] S104, controlling the washing machine to execute the voice interaction command.

[0061] It should be noted that the execution of the voice interaction command can be achieved by using any voice interaction command execution method in the relevant technology, and no further restrictions are made here.

[0062] In one embodiment, controlling the washing machine to execute the voice interaction instruction includes sending the voice interaction instruction to a target component in the washing machine, and controlling the target component to execute the voice interaction instruction. It is understandable that different voice interaction instructions can be executed by different target components.

[0063] It should be noted that there are not too many restrictions on the target components. For example, they may include a door switch, a program controller, a water level switch, a water inlet valve, a drain valve, a heater, a safety switch, etc.

[0064] For example, if the voice interaction command is "open the door", "open the door" can be sent to the door switch to control the door switch to execute "open the door".

[0065] For example, if the voice interaction command is "start washing", "start washing" can be sent to the program controller to control the program controller to execute "start washing".

[0066] For example, if the voice interaction command is "the laundry temperature is 30 degrees Celsius", "the laundry temperature is 30 degrees Celsius" can be sent to the heater to control the heater to execute "the laundry temperature is 30 degrees Celsius".

[0067] The control method of the washing machine provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure controls the washing machine to enter the wake-up state based on the user's behavior and / or the running state of the washing machine, collects the user's voice information, generates the voice interaction instruction of the washing machine based on the voice information, and controls the washing machine to execute the voice interaction instruction. Therefore, in the case of not receiving the wake-up instruction of the washing machine, the washing machine can be directly controlled to enter the wake-up state in consideration of the user's behavior and / or the running state of the washing machine, so that the user and the washing machine can interact with each other by voice. Compared with the related art in which the washing machine is controlled to enter the wake-up state only when the wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received, the present solution simplifies the user operation, can realize the rapid wake-up of the washing machine, and improves the efficiency and flexibility of the voice interaction of the washing machine.

[0068] Based on any of the above embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, after the washing machine is controlled to enter the awakening state in step S101, the following further includes:

[0069] S201, obtaining the cumulative wake-up time of the current wake-up process of the washing machine.

[0070] It should be noted that the current wake-up process refers to the time period from the last wake-up time of the washing machine to the current time.

[0071] In one embodiment, the timer may be used to start timing from the last wake-up time of the washing machine to obtain the cumulative wake-up time.

[0072] S202: If the accumulated wake-up time is greater than the first set time, the washing machine is controlled to enter a non-wake-up state.

[0073] It should be noted that there are no excessive restrictions on the first set time length, for example, it may include the maximum wake-up time length allowed by the washing machine. For example, the first set time length may be 10 seconds.

[0074] In one embodiment, before controlling the washing machine to enter a non-awakening state, it also includes determining that the user has no intention of voice interaction with the washing machine, and / or identifying that no voice interaction instructions have been generated within a second set time from the current moment. Therefore, in this method, the washing machine can be controlled to enter a non-awakening state only when the accumulated wake-up time is long and the user has no intention of voice interaction with the washing machine, and / or no voice interaction instructions have been generated within a recent period of time. This can avoid controlling the washing machine to enter a non-awakening state when the user has an intention of voice interaction with the washing machine, and / or a voice interaction instruction has been generated within a recent period of time, thereby improving the flexibility of the washing machine's voice interaction.

[0075] It should be noted that the second set time length is less than or equal to the first set time length, and there are no excessive restrictions on the second set time length, for example, it may include 5 seconds.

[0076] In one embodiment, the method further includes determining that the user has a voice interaction intention with the washing machine, and / or identifying that a second set time period is within the current moment, generating a voice interaction instruction, and controlling the washing machine to continue to maintain the wake-up state. Thus, in the method, when the accumulated wake-up time is long and the user has a voice interaction intention with the washing machine, and / or a voice interaction instruction is generated within a recent period of time, the washing machine can be controlled to continue to maintain the wake-up state, so that the user and the washing machine can continue to have voice interaction, thereby improving the reliability of the voice interaction of the washing machine.

[0077] As another possible implementation, the method further includes controlling the washing machine to continue to maintain the awake state if the accumulated awake time is less than or equal to the first set time. Thus, in the method, after the washing machine is controlled to enter the awake state, if the accumulated awake time is short, the washing machine can be controlled to continue to maintain the awake state, so that the user and the washing machine can continue to interact with each other by voice, thereby improving the reliability of the voice interaction of the washing machine.

[0078] Therefore, in this method, after controlling the washing machine to enter the wake-up state, if the accumulated wake-up time is long, the washing machine can be controlled to enter the non-awakening state, so as to avoid continuing to control the washing machine to maintain the awake state when the accumulated wake-up time is long, which can save energy and avoid the washing machine from being awakened for a long time.

[0079] Figure 3 is a flow chart showing a method for controlling a washing machine according to another exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the control method of the washing machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0080] S301, when no wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received, obtaining a value of target configuration information of the washing machine.

[0081] S302, identifying that the value of the target configuration information is a first setting value, wherein the first setting value is used to indicate that when no wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received, the washing machine is controlled to enter a wake-up state based on the user's behavior and / or the operating state of the washing machine.

[0082] It should be noted that the value of the target configuration information can be set by the user. For example, the user can configure the value of the target configuration information through the control panel, remote control, etc. of the washing machine.

[0083] It should be noted that there are no excessive restrictions on the first setting value, for example, it can be 1.

[0084] It can be understood that if the value of the target configuration information is the first set value, it indicates that the washing machine has the following function: when no wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received, the washing machine is controlled to enter the wake-up state based on the user's behavior and / or the operating status of the washing machine.

[0085] S303: Based on the user's behavior and / or the operating state of the washing machine, control the washing machine to enter a wake-up state.

[0086] S304, collecting the user's voice information.

[0087] S305: Generate voice interaction instructions for the washing machine based on the voice information.

[0088] S306, controlling the washing machine to execute the voice interaction instruction.

[0089] For the relevant contents of steps S303 - S306 , please refer to the above embodiment and will not be described again here.

[0090] S308, identifying that the value of the target configuration information is a second setting value, wherein the second setting value is used to indicate that when no wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received, the washing machine is controlled to continue to maintain a non-awakening state.

[0091] S309, controlling the washing machine to continue to maintain a non-awakening state.

[0092] It should be noted that the first setting value and the second setting value are different. There is no excessive limitation on the second setting value, for example, it can be 0.

[0093] It can be understood that if the value of the target configuration information is the second set value, it indicates that the washing machine has the following function: when no wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received, the washing machine is controlled to continue to maintain a non-awakening state.

[0094] The control method for a washing machine provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure can control whether the washing machine enters a wake-up state by taking into account the value of the target configuration information of the washing machine, and when no wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received and the value of the target configuration information is a first set value, the washing machine is controlled to enter a wake-up state based on the user's behavior and / or the operating state of the washing machine, or when no wake-up instruction of the washing machine is received and the value of the target configuration information is a second set value, the washing machine is controlled to continue to maintain a non-wake-up state.

[0095] Based on any of the above embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the control system 100 of the washing machine includes a washing machine 10, a routing device 6, a network device 7 and a voice server 8. The washing machine 10 includes a microphone 1, a speaker 2 (such as a horn), a display device 3, a control device 4 and a washing machine body 5.

[0096] The control device 4 is used to control the washing machine 10 to enter the wake-up state based on the user's behavior and / or the operating status of the washing machine 10 when no wake-up command of the washing machine 10 is received. The microphone 1 is used to collect the user's voice information. The routing device 6 and the network device 7 are used to send the voice information to the voice server 8. The voice server 8 is used to generate voice interaction instructions for the washing machine 10 based on the voice information. The routing device 6 and the network device 7 are also used to send the voice interaction instructions to the control device 4. The control device 4 is also used to control the washing machine 10 to execute the voice interaction instructions.

[0097] In one implementation, the display device 3 is used to display whether the microphone 1 is in a collection state, and is also used to display whether the speaker 2 is in a playback state.

[0098] In one implementation, the speaker 2 is used to play the execution result of the voice interaction instruction.
