The singular terms "one" and "the" may also include plural forms.

[0039] As described in the background technology section, in order to solve the problem in the prior art that the washing program is not optimized based on the condition information of the clothes to be washed and the user's washing request information, resulting in a lot of foam remaining in the equipment, the present invention provides a control method for a clothes processing equipment.

[0040] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of a control method for a clothes processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the control method for the clothes processing device can be executed by a server, or by the clothes processing device, or by both the server and the clothes processing device; the clothes processing device can be a washing machine, or a washer-dryer, a shoe washing machine, etc., and no specific limitation is made here. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the clothes processing device of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0041] Step S101: Detect whether a washing request message from a user is received, wherein the washing request message at least includes a preset washing program.

[0042] Specifically, the user can send washing request information through the mobile terminal, that is, the clothing processing device needs to detect whether the washing request information sent by the user based on the mobile terminal is received; and / or, the user can also send washing request information directly through the clothing processing device, that is, the clothing processing device also needs to detect whether the washing request information sent by the user based on the clothing processing device is received.

[0043] Step S102: when receiving the user's washing request information, obtaining the condition information of the clothes to be washed in the clothes processing device, wherein the condition information of the clothes to be washed includes at least one of the weight of the clothes to be washed, the degree of dirtiness of the clothes to be washed, and the amount of detergent used for the clothes to be washed.

[0044] Exemplarily, a first weight sensor may be provided in the inner drum of the laundry processing device, so that when the weight of the laundry to be washed needs to be obtained, the first weight sensor is used for measurement; and / or, when the weight of the laundry to be washed needs to be obtained, the inner drum of the laundry processing device may be controlled to rotate forward and reverse at a preset speed, and the number of pulses generated during the forward and reverse rotation of the inner drum is counted, so that the weight of the laundry to be washed is obtained based on the number of pulses. A first image detection device may also be provided in the laundry processing device, so that when the degree of dirtiness of the laundry to be washed needs to be obtained, the image of the laundry to be washed is obtained based on the first image detection device and the obtained image of the laundry to be washed is identified to obtain the degree of dirtiness of the laundry to be washed. The amount of detergent used for the laundry to be washed includes at least one of the weight of the detergent and the volume of the detergent. The laundry processing device may be provided with a second weight sensor in the detergent box, so that when the weight of the detergent needs to be obtained, the second weight sensor is used for measurement; the laundry processing device may also be provided with an infrared distance measuring device on the top of the detergent box facing the side where the detergent is stored, so that when the volume of the detergent needs to be obtained, the infrared distance measuring device is used for measurement.

[0045] The above-mentioned settings for obtaining the weight of the clothes to be washed, the settings for obtaining the degree of dirtiness of the clothes to be washed, the settings for classifying the amount of detergent for the clothes to be washed, and the settings for obtaining the amount of detergent for the clothes to be washed are only for illustrative purposes and can be selected according to actual needs in actual applications.

[0046] Step S103: Based on the user's washing request information and the condition information of the clothes to be washed, the clothes processing device is controlled to perform a program optimization operation to reduce the foam residue in the clothes processing device after washing.

[0047] Specifically, the clothes to be washed in different situations need to match the corresponding preset washing programs so that less foam will remain in the device after washing; on the contrary, if the situation information of the clothes to be washed does not match the preset washing program, more foam will remain in the device after washing, thereby reducing the washing effect of the clothes processing device and bringing a bad user experience. Based on this, before using the clothes processing device for washing, it is necessary to control the program optimization operation of the clothes processing device based on the user's washing request information and the situation information of the clothes to be washed, so as to reduce the foam residue in the clothes processing device after washing.

[0048] Based on the above steps S101 to S103, the present invention detects whether the user's washing request information is received, wherein the washing request information at least includes a preset washing program; when the user's washing request information is received, the condition information of the clothes to be washed in the clothes processing device is obtained, wherein the condition information of the clothes to be washed includes at least one of the weight of the clothes to be washed, the degree of dirtiness of the clothes to be washed, and the amount of detergent used for the clothes to be washed; based on the user's washing request information and the condition information of the clothes to be washed, the clothes processing device is controlled to perform program optimization operations to reduce the foam residue in the clothes processing device after washing. Such a setting can avoid a large amount of foam remaining in the clothes processing device after washing due to the condition information of the clothes to be washed and the user's washing request information, thereby improving the user experience and the washing effect of the clothes processing device.

[0049] See attached Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of controlling a laundry processing device to perform a program optimization operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, based on the user's washing request information and the condition information of the laundry to be washed, controlling the laundry processing device to perform a program optimization operation includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S1031: Based on the condition information of the clothes to be washed, determine whether the preset washing program is a washing program that meets the preset foam requirements.

[0051] Step S1032: Based on the determination result, selectively controlling the clothes treating device to perform a first program optimization operation.

[0052] For example, it is possible to determine whether the preset washing program in the user's washing request is a washing program that meets the preset foam requirement under the condition information of the clothes to be washed by using multiple sets of historical usage data of the clothes processing device. Specifically, each set of historical usage data includes the condition information of historical washing clothes, the historical washing program, and the historical foam residue. Therefore, it is possible to find a set of historical usage data that is the same or similar to the condition information of the clothes to be washed and the preset washing program from multiple sets of historical usage data, and then determine whether the historical foam residue in the set of historical usage data meets the preset foam requirement; if the historical foam residue in the set of historical usage data meets the preset foam requirement, it indicates that under the condition information of the clothes to be washed, the preset washing program in the user's washing request is a washing program that meets the preset foam requirement, otherwise, it indicates that under the condition information of the clothes to be washed, the preset washing program in the user's washing request is not a washing program that meets the preset foam requirement.

[0053] The above-described method of determining whether a preset washing program is a washing program that meets the preset foam requirement based on the situation information of the clothes to be washed is only for illustrative purposes and can be selected according to actual needs in actual applications.

[0054] In some embodiments, based on the judgment result, selectively controlling the clothing processing device to perform a first program optimization operation includes: when the preset washing program is not a washing program that meets the preset foam requirements, sending a first reminder message to the user, wherein the first reminder message includes at least the judgment result and the recommended washing program.

[0055] Specifically, if it is determined that the preset washing program is not a washing program that meets the preset foam requirement under the situation information of the laundry to be washed, the laundry processing device is controlled to perform a first program optimization operation, that is, to perform an operation of sending a first reminder message to the user; the first reminder message at least includes a judgment result that the preset washing program is not a washing program that meets the preset foam requirement and a recommended washing program, wherein the recommended washing program can be obtained based on the situation information of the laundry to be washed. If it is determined that the preset washing program is a washing program that meets the preset foam requirement under the situation information of the laundry to be washed, the laundry processing device is controlled to perform a washing operation directly based on the preset washing program without performing the first program optimization operation.

[0056] For example, the recommended washing program under the condition information of the laundry to be washed can be obtained through multiple sets of historical usage data of the laundry processing device. Specifically, each set of historical usage data includes the condition information of the laundry to be washed in history, the historical washing program and the historical foam residue. Therefore, a set of historical usage data with the same or similar condition information as the laundry to be washed and the historical foam residue meeting the preset foam requirement can be found from the multiple sets of historical usage data, and then the historical washing program in the set of historical usage data is sent to the user as the recommended washing program.

[0057] The form of the first reminder information may include but is not limited to voice type information, text type information, picture type information, etc. For example, when the first reminder information is voice type information, the clothing processing device may push the first reminder information to the user by voice broadcast, and the first reminder information may be, for example, "The quick wash you selected is not the most ideal washing program, it is recommended that you change to standard wash"; when the first reminder information is text type information, the clothing processing device may push the first reminder information to the user by displaying it on its display screen or by popping up a floating window in the user interface of the mobile terminal, and the first reminder information may be, for example, "Warm reminder: The quick wash you selected is not the most ideal washing program, it is recommended that you change to standard wash!"; when the first reminder information is picture type information, the clothing processing device may push the first reminder information to the user by displaying it on its display screen, and the first reminder information may be, for example, picture content related to not recommending the use of the quick wash selected by the user, but recommending the use of standard wash.

[0058] The above-mentioned method for obtaining the recommended washing program and the setting method for sending the first reminder information to the user are only for exemplary descriptions, and in actual application, they can be selected according to actual needs.

[0059] In some embodiments, after sending the first reminder information to the user, the method further includes the following steps:

[0060] Step S201: receiving feedback information from a user based on the first reminder information.

[0061] Step S202: controlling the laundry processing device to execute a corresponding washing program based on the user's feedback information based on the first reminder information.

[0062] Specifically, when the user chooses to use the recommended washing program based on the feedback information of the first reminder information, the clothing processing device is controlled to perform the washing operation based on the recommended washing program; when the user does not choose to use the recommended washing program based on the feedback information of the first reminder information, the user's feedback information based on the first reminder information will further include the washing program chosen by the user, wherein the washing program chosen by the user at this time may be a preset washing program previously selected by the user, or may be other washing programs other than the preset washing program and the recommended washing program, and the clothing processing device will perform the corresponding washing operation based on the washing program selected by the user in the feedback information of the first reminder information.

[0063] See attached Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of washing the laundry according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the method further includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S301: After washing the laundry, the amount of bubbles in the laundry processing device is obtained.

[0065] Step S302: Based on the amount of bubbles, selectively controlling the laundry processing device to perform a defoaming operation after washing.

[0066] Specifically, such a setting can determine whether it is necessary to further perform a corresponding defoaming operation based on the foam situation in the clothing processing device after the washing operation is completed, thereby further reducing the amount of residual foam after washing is completed, and further improving the user experience.

[0067] Exemplarily, a second image detection device may be provided in the laundry processing device, and after washing the laundry, the second image detection device may be used to obtain an image in the laundry processing device and identify the obtained image to obtain the amount of foam in the laundry processing device. And / or, an infrared spectrum sensor may be provided in the laundry processing device, and after washing the laundry, the infrared spectrum sensor may be used to obtain the amount of foam in the laundry processing device. The above-mentioned method of obtaining the amount of foam in the laundry processing device is only for exemplary purposes, and may be selected according to actual needs in actual applications.

[0068] In some embodiments, the laundry processing device further includes enable flag information of an additional defoaming program, and selectively controlling the laundry processing device to perform a defoaming operation after washing based on the amount of foam includes the following steps:

[0069] Step S401: Compare the foam quantity with a preset foam threshold.

[0070] Step S402: when the amount of foam is greater than a preset foam threshold, selectively controlling the clothes processing device to execute the additional foaming program based on the enable flag information of the additional foaming program.

[0071] Specifically, if the amount of foam is greater than a preset foam threshold, it indicates that a lot of foam still remains in the laundry processing device after washing is completed, so the laundry processing device needs to perform a post-washing defoaming operation, that is, perform an additional defoaming program; if the amount of foam is less than or equal to the preset foam threshold, it indicates that less foam remains in the laundry processing device after washing is completed, so the laundry processing device no longer needs to perform a post-washing defoaming operation. Further, the additional defoaming program includes a rinsing program and a dehydration program, wherein the rinsing program includes at least one of a conventional rinsing program, a spray rinsing program, and an overflow rinsing program.

[0072] In some embodiments, selectively controlling the clothes treating device to perform the additional defoaming program based on the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program includes the following steps:

[0073] Step S4021: when the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program is on, the clothes processing device is controlled to execute the additional defoaming program.

[0074] Step S4022: when the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program is off, control the clothes processing device to send a second reminder message to the user, wherein the second reminder message at least includes the amount of foam and a washing suggestion to add an additional defoaming program.

[0075] Specifically, if the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program of the clothing processing device is on, it indicates that the clothing processing device has the function of automatically executing the additional defoaming program when a large amount of foam is detected; on the contrary, it indicates that the clothing processing device does not have the function of automatically executing the additional defoaming program when a large amount of foam is detected. Based on this, when the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program is on, the clothing processing device can be controlled to automatically execute the additional defoaming program; if the clothing processing device is a commercial clothing combing device, the clothing processing device can automatically execute the additional defoaming program without charging the user. When the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program is off, it is necessary to send a second reminder message to the user so as to control the clothing processing device to perform related operations based on the user's selection. Furthermore, the form of the second reminder message can also include multiple forms such as voice type and text type, which will not be repeated here.

[0076] In some embodiments, the laundry processing device further includes enable flag information of an additional defoaming program, and the washing request information further includes setting information of a user on whether to add an additional defoaming program. Therefore, based on the amount of foam, selectively controlling the laundry processing device to perform a defoaming operation after washing includes the following steps:

[0077] Step S501: Compare the foam quantity with a preset foam threshold.

[0078] Step S502: when the amount of foam is greater than a preset foam threshold, selectively controlling the clothes treating device to execute the additional defoaming program based on the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program and the user's setting information on whether to add the additional defoaming program.

[0079] Specifically, the user's setting information on whether to add an additional defoaming program indicates the user's willingness to add an additional defoaming program. In actual applications, some users will pursue the effect of washing more, so such users are more inclined to add an additional defoaming program when there are more foam residues after washing to improve the cleaning ratio of clothes; but some users will pursue the efficiency of washing more, so such users will be more inclined to complete the washing of clothes to be washed within the preset time, so as to facilitate the normal progress of subsequent matters. Based on this, when it is detected that the amount of foam is greater than the preset foam threshold, it is necessary to judge whether the additional defoaming program needs to be executed from two aspects: the user's setting information on whether to add an additional defoaming program and the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program.

[0080] See attached Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the main steps of selectively controlling a clothes processing device to perform an additional defoaming procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, selectively controlling the clothes treating device to perform the additional defoaming program based on the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program and the user's setting information on whether to add the additional defoaming program includes the following steps:

[0081] Step 5021: When the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program is on and the user's setting information on whether to add the additional defoaming program is yes, the clothes processing device is controlled to execute the additional defoaming program.

[0082] Step 5022: When the enable flag information of the additional defoaming program is off and / or the user's setting information on whether to add an additional defoaming program is no, control the clothing processing device to send a second reminder message to the user, wherein the second reminder message includes at least the amount of foam and a washing recommendation for adding an additional defoaming program.

[0083] In some embodiments, after sending the second reminder information to the user, the method further includes: receiving feedback information from the user based on the second reminder information, and selectively controlling the clothing processing device to perform an additional defoaming program based on the feedback information from the user based on the second reminder information.

[0084] That is, when the user's feedback information based on the second reminder information is to execute the additional defoaming program, the clothes processing device is controlled to execute the additional defoaming program; if the clothes processing device is a commercial clothes processing device, the user is required to pay the fee for executing the additional defoaming program at the same time; after the payment of the fee is completed, the clothes processing device executes the additional defoaming program. When the user's feedback information based on the second reminder information is not to execute the additional defoaming program, the clothes processing device is controlled not to execute the additional defoaming program.

[0085] It should be pointed out that although the various steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art can understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not have to be performed in such an order. They can be performed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders. These changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0086] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a clothes processing device.
