[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an interaction method of a device, wherein the device comprises a display interface, a control area, and a backlight area; when the backlight area emits light, it can illuminate the control area.

[0032] The device is, for example, a humidifier, fan, air conditioner, or other device with a control area and a display interface. The display interface can be a display screen or a status indicator light of the device. According to the content displayed on the display screen and the on and off state of the status indicator light, the user can quickly and intuitively understand the current status of the device.

[0033] There are several function buttons on the control area. When the user presses a button, the device will perform the corresponding operation. A backlight area is set below or around the control area. When the device is in the night or in a dimly lit environment, the backlight area can emit light to illuminate the control area, allowing the user to clearly see the location and logo of each control button. In this way, users can easily operate even in low light conditions without worrying about accidentally touching or not being able to find the button.

[0034] A first induction component is arranged at the control area; the first induction component can generate capacitance values ​​of different sizes according to the distance between the human body and the first induction component.

[0035] The sensing component must be placed below the control area to prevent the user from directly contacting the sensing component and causing it to fail. The sensing component can be a separate PCB copper foil or a combination of touch buttons that the device already has. The capacitance value generated by the sensing component is inversely proportional to the distance between the human body and the sensing component.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first sensing component is a PCB copper foil. When the PCB copper foil is used as the sensing component, since the area of ​​the PCB copper foil is larger than the sensing electrode on the touch button, when the hand is a certain distance away from the touch button area, the equivalent capacitance corresponding to the sensing electrode is relatively much larger, making it easier to detect whether the hand is close to the key operation area.

[0037] The specific settings of the sensing components are as follows Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 This is the control area of ​​the fan. Figure 4 The circuit board is set under the control area. Below the power off key, timer key, decrease key, increase key, mode key, and shake key, there are corresponding sensing electrodes 2, each of which can generate a capacitance value. Below these sensing electrodes, there is also a large PCB copper foil 1, which can also generate a capacitance value. The first sensing component is the PCB copper foil 1.

[0038] like Figure 1 The flow chart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention is shown. The device interaction method may include: step S110 to step S130.

[0039] In step S110, when the backlight area and the display interface are in an off state, the ambient light intensity and the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component are obtained.

[0040] If the user does not operate the device for a long time, in order to save energy, the backlight area and display interface of the control area will be turned off by default. At this time, it is necessary to determine whether the user is going to control the device, and determine whether to turn on the backlight and display interface based on the ambient lighting conditions.

[0041] In step S120, it is determined whether the user is going to operate the device according to the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component.

[0042] In some embodiments, in step S120, the specific process of determining whether the user is going to operate the device based on the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component includes: judging the size relationship between the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component and a preset first capacitance value; if the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component is greater than the preset first capacitance value, determining that the user is going to operate the device; if the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component is less than or equal to the preset first capacitance value, determining that the user will not operate the device.

[0043] Since PCB copper foil is set under the control area, the PCB copper foil will generate an inductive capacitance. The closer the user's finger is to the control area, the larger the inductive capacitance value. By judging the size of the inductive capacitance value, the distance between the user's finger and the control area can be determined, and then it can be judged whether the user is about to press the button. Specifically, the first capacitance value can be set to 1. When the capacitance value generated by the PCB copper foil is greater than the first capacitance value, the user's finger is closer to the control area, and it is believed that the user is about to operate the device; when the capacitance value generated by the PCB copper foil is less than or equal to the first capacitance value, the user is far away from the control area, and it is believed that the user will not operate the device.

[0044] By setting the PCB copper foil to detect the distance between the user and the control area, it is determined whether the user is about to operate the device. When the user is about to operate the device, it is further determined whether to turn on the backlight, thereby providing lighting for the user's operation when the light is weak, thereby improving the user experience.

[0045] At step S130, if it is determined that the user is about to operate the device, the display interface is controlled to light up, and then the user can operate the device by directly pressing the button on the control area; and the backlight area is controlled to light up according to the ambient light intensity, so as to provide lighting for the user when the environment is dark and the user cannot see the buttons on the control area clearly.

[0046] In some embodiments, in step S130, the specific process of controlling the backlight area to light up according to the ambient light intensity includes: determining the magnitude of the ambient light intensity; if the ambient light intensity is less than a preset light intensity, controlling the backlight area to light up, and then waiting for the user to complete the device operation, or if the user does not perform any operation within a period of time after the backlight area is lit, controlling the backlight area to turn off; if the ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to the preset light intensity, keeping the backlight area off.

[0047] The backlight area is used to illuminate the control area. When the user is about to operate the device, if the ambient light is weak, the backlight is controlled to light up so that the user can accurately find the function button to be operated; if the ambient light is strong, the backlight does not need to be turned on. Whether the ambient light is weak can be determined based on the relationship between the ambient light intensity and the preset light intensity. When the ambient light intensity is less than the preset light intensity, the ambient light is considered to be weak, and when the ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to the preset light intensity, the ambient light is considered to be strong.

[0048] Usually when a user operates a device, he needs to press a button to light up the screen, and then press the function button to be implemented, that is, the user needs to operate twice to implement a function. This solution uses the device sensing component to determine whether the user wants to operate the device based on the capacitance value of the sensing component. When the user is about to operate the device, the display interface is directly lit up, allowing the user to directly press the function button to operate the device, simplifying the operation steps. Then, based on the ambient light conditions, the backlight of the control area is controlled to light up, providing lighting for the user's operation when the light is weak, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, at least one function button is disposed in the control area; under each function button in the control area, a second sensing component is correspondingly disposed, and the second sensing component is as follows: Figure 4 The second sensing component can generate capacitance values ​​of different sizes according to the distance between the human body and the second sensing component.

[0050] If a combination of touch buttons originally available in the device is used as a sensing component, then for the detection chip of the touch button, the equivalent capacitance generated is converted into a voltage value by charging and discharging each button, and the touch chip determines whether the button is pressed based on whether the voltage value of each button reaches a preset threshold. Optionally, a capacitive touch sensing method can be used to detect whether the human body is close to the sensing component, specifically to determine whether the user's finger is close to the touch button, so as to determine whether the user is about to press the button on the control area to operate the device. Specifically, a sensing electrode capable of generating self-capacitance is provided under each touch button, wherein a small amount of energy generated by the sensing electrode will overflow to the area outside the capacitor plate. When the user's finger approaches, it is equivalent to placing the finger in the overflowed energy area, increasing the conductive surface area, and forming an equivalent capacitance between the finger and the sensing electrode. The size of the equivalent capacitance is:

[0051]

[0052] Among them, C is the equivalent capacitance, d is the distance between the finger and the button, A is the area facing the electrode, and ε is the equivalent dielectric constant. Therefore, when the equivalent capacitance increases, it means that the user's finger is close to the control area and is about to operate the device.

[0053] In some embodiments, the method also includes a process of determining whether the user will operate the device based on the capacitance value generated by the second sensing component, and the process specifically includes: among all the second sensing components, determining whether there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than a preset second capacitance value; if there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value, and the number of the second sensing components whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value is greater than a set number, determining that the user is going to operate the device; if there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value, and the number of the second sensing components whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value is less than or equal to the set number, determining that the user will not operate the device; if there is no second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value, determining that the user will not operate the device.

[0054] Compared with PCB copper foil, the sensing electrode set under each button is relatively small, so the sensing ability to the human body is weak. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the capacitance values ​​generated by multiple sensing electrodes to determine whether the user is going to operate the device. The set number can be set to 3. When the number of sensing electrodes with a capacitance value greater than the second capacitance value is greater than 3, it is considered that the user is going to operate the device; when the number of sensing electrodes with a capacitance value greater than the second capacitance value is ≤3, or there is no sensing electrode with a capacitance value greater than the second capacitance value, it is considered that the user will not operate the device.

[0055] In some embodiments, the method also includes a process of controlling the device according to the capacitance value generated by the second sensing component, and the process specifically includes: if it is determined that the user is about to operate the device, then among the second sensing components whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value, determining whether there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than a preset third capacitance value; the preset third capacitance value>the preset second capacitance value; if there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset third capacitance value, controlling the device to implement the function of the key corresponding to the second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset third capacitance value.

[0056] The preset third capacitance value is used to determine whether the user presses a key. When the user's finger touches the key, the capacitance value generated by the sensing electrode reaches the maximum value. When the generated capacitance value is greater than the third capacitance value, it is considered that the user has pressed the key, and the device is controlled to implement the function of the key corresponding to the sensing electrode; when the generated capacitance value is less than or equal to the third capacitance value, it is considered that the user has not pressed the key, and the device is not controlled.

[0057] By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, a first sensing component is set in the control area of ​​the device, and the first sensing component can generate capacitance values ​​of different sizes according to the contact between the human body and the first sensing component; when the backlight area and the display interface of the device are in an off state, the sensing component is set to determine whether the user is about to operate the device, and the backlight of the display interface and the control area is controlled to light up in combination with the ambient light intensity, so that the user only needs one operation to control the device, and the necessary lighting is provided for the user, thereby reducing the interaction steps and improving the user experience.

[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an interactive device for a device corresponding to the interactive method for the device. The device has a display interface, a control area, and a backlight area; when the backlight area emits light, it can illuminate the control area.

[0059] The device is, for example, a humidifier, fan, air conditioner, or other device with a control area and a display interface. The display interface can be a display screen or a status indicator light of the device. According to the content displayed on the display screen and the on and off state of the status indicator light, the user can quickly and intuitively understand the current status of the device.

[0060] There are several function buttons on the control area. When the user presses a button, the device will perform the corresponding operation. A backlight area is set below or around the control area. When the device is in the night or in a dimly lit environment, the backlight area can emit light to illuminate the control area, allowing the user to clearly see the location and logo of each control button. In this way, users can easily operate even in low light conditions without worrying about accidentally touching or not being able to find the button.

[0061] A first induction component is arranged at the control area; the first induction component can generate capacitance values ​​of different sizes according to the distance between the human body and the first induction component.

[0062] The sensing component must be placed below the control area so that the user cannot directly contact the sensing component. The sensing component can be a separate PCB sensing electrode or PCB copper foil. The sensing component can also be a combination of touch buttons that the device already has. The capacitance value generated by the sensing component is inversely proportional to the distance between the human body and the sensing component.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first sensing component is a PCB copper foil. When the PCB copper foil is used as the sensing component, since the area of ​​the PCB copper foil is larger than the sensing electrode on the touch button, when the hand is a certain distance away from the touch button area, the equivalent capacitance corresponding to the sensing electrode is relatively much larger, making it easier to detect whether the hand is close to the key operation area.

[0064] The specific settings of the sensing components are as follows Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 This is the control area of ​​the fan. Figure 4 The circuit board is set under the control area. Below the power off key, timer key, decrease key, increase key, mode key, and shake key, there are corresponding sensing electrodes 2, each of which can generate a capacitance value. Below these sensing electrodes, there is also a large PCB copper foil 1, which can also generate a capacitance value. The first sensing component is the PCB copper foil 1.

[0065] See also Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the device of the present invention is shown. The interactive device of the device may include: an acquisition unit 102 and a control unit 104.

[0066] The acquisition unit 102 is configured to acquire the ambient light intensity and the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component when the backlight area and the display interface are in an off state. The specific functions and processing of the acquisition unit 102 refer to step S110.

[0067] If the user does not operate the device for a long time, in order to save energy, the backlight area and display interface of the control area will be turned off by default. At this time, it is necessary to determine whether the user is going to control the device, and determine whether to turn on the backlight and display interface based on the ambient lighting conditions.

[0068] The control unit 104 is configured to determine whether the user is going to operate the device according to the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 refer to step S120.

[0069] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 determines whether the user is going to operate the device according to the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component, and the specific process includes: judging the size relationship between the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component and a preset first capacitance value; if the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component is greater than the preset first capacitance value, determining that the user is going to operate the device; if the capacitance value generated by the first sensing component is less than or equal to the preset first capacitance value, determining that the user will not operate the device.

[0070] Since PCB copper foil is set under the control area, when the user's finger is close to the control area, the PCB copper foil will generate an inductive capacitance. The closer the user's finger is to the control area, the greater the inductive capacitance value. By judging the size of the inductive capacitance value, the distance between the user's finger and the control area can be determined, and then it can be judged whether the user is about to press the button. Specifically, the first capacitance value can be set to 1. When the capacitance value generated by the PCB copper foil is greater than the first capacitance value, the user's finger is closer to the control area, and it is believed that the user is about to operate the device; when the capacitance value generated by the PCB copper foil is less than or equal to the first capacitance value, the user is far away from the control area, and it is believed that the user will not operate the device.

[0071] By setting the PCB copper foil to detect the distance between the user and the control area, it is determined whether the user is about to operate the device. When the user is about to operate the device, it is further determined whether to turn on the backlight, thereby providing lighting for the user's operation when the light is weak, thereby improving the user experience.

[0072] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the display interface to light up if it is determined that the user is about to operate the device, and then the user can directly press the button on the control area to operate the device; and control the backlight area to light up according to the ambient light intensity, so as to provide lighting for the user when the environment is dark and the user cannot see the buttons on the control area clearly. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 refer to step S130.

[0073] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 controls the specific process of lighting up the backlight area according to the ambient light intensity, including: determining the magnitude of the ambient light intensity; if the ambient light intensity is less than a preset light intensity, controlling the backlight area to light up, and then controlling the backlight area to turn off after the user completes the device operation, or if the user does not perform any operation within a period of time after the backlight area is lit; if the ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to the preset light intensity, keeping the backlight area off.

[0074] The backlight area is used to illuminate the control area. When the user is about to operate the device, if the ambient light is weak, the backlight is controlled to light up so that the user can accurately find the function button to be operated; if the ambient light is strong, the backlight does not need to be turned on. Whether the ambient light is weak can be determined based on the relationship between the ambient light intensity and the preset light intensity. When the ambient light intensity is less than the preset light intensity, the ambient light is considered to be weak, and when the ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to the preset light intensity, the ambient light is considered to be strong.

[0075] Usually when a user operates a device, he needs to press a button to light up the screen, and then press the function button to be implemented, that is, the user needs to operate twice to implement a function. This solution uses the device sensing component to determine whether the user wants to operate the device based on the capacitance value of the sensing component. When the user is about to operate the device, the display interface is directly lit up, allowing the user to directly press the function button to operate the device, simplifying the operation steps. Then, based on the ambient light conditions, the backlight of the control area is controlled to light up, providing lighting for the user's operation when the light is weak, thereby improving the user experience.

[0076] In some embodiments, at least one function button is disposed in the control area; under each function button in the control area, a second sensing component is correspondingly disposed, and the second sensing component is as follows: Figure 4 The second sensing component can generate capacitance values ​​of different sizes according to the distance between the human body and the second sensing component.

[0077] If a combination of touch buttons originally available in the device is used as a sensing component, then for the detection chip of the touch button, the equivalent capacitance generated is converted into a voltage value by charging and discharging each button, and the touch chip determines whether the button is pressed based on whether the voltage value of each button reaches a preset threshold. Optionally, a capacitive touch sensing method can be used to detect whether the human body is close to the sensing component, specifically to determine whether the user's finger is close to the touch button, so as to determine whether the user is about to press the button on the control area to operate the device. Specifically, a sensing electrode capable of generating self-capacitance is provided under each touch button, wherein a small amount of energy generated by the sensing electrode will overflow to the area outside the capacitor plate. When the user's finger approaches, it is equivalent to placing the finger in the overflowed energy area, increasing the conductive surface area, and forming an equivalent capacitance between the finger and the sensing electrode. The size of the equivalent capacitance is:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, C is the equivalent capacitance, d is the distance between the finger and the button, A is the area facing the electrode, and ε is the equivalent dielectric constant. Therefore, when the equivalent capacitance increases, it means that the user's finger is close to the control area and is about to operate the device.

[0080] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 is further configured to: determine whether there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than a preset second capacitance value among all the second sensing components; if there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value, and the number of second sensing components whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value is greater than a set number, determine that the user is about to operate the device; if there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value, and the number of second sensing components whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value is less than or equal to the set number, determine that the user will not operate the device; if there is no second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value, determine that the user will not operate the device.

[0081] Compared with PCB copper foil, the sensing electrode set under each button is relatively small, so the sensing ability to the human body is weak. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the capacitance values ​​generated by multiple sensing electrodes to determine whether the user is going to operate the device. The set number can be set to 3. When the number of sensing electrodes with a capacitance value greater than the second capacitance value is greater than 3, it is considered that the user is going to operate the device; when the number of sensing electrodes with a capacitance value greater than the second capacitance value is ≤3, or there is no sensing electrode with a capacitance value greater than the second capacitance value, it is considered that the user will not operate the device.

[0082] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 is further configured to: if it is determined that the user is about to operate the device, then among the second sensing components whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset second capacitance value, determine whether there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than a preset third capacitance value; the preset third capacitance value>the preset second capacitance value; if there is a second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset third capacitance value, control the device to implement the function of the button corresponding to the second sensing component whose generated capacitance value is greater than the preset third capacitance value.

[0083] The preset third capacitance value is used to determine whether the user presses a key. When the user's finger touches the key, the capacitance value generated by the sensing electrode reaches the maximum value. When the generated capacitance value is greater than the third capacitance value, it is considered that the user has pressed the key, and the device is controlled to implement the function of the key corresponding to the sensing electrode; when the generated capacitance value is less than or equal to the third capacitance value, it is considered that the user has not pressed the key, and the device is not controlled.
