[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0043] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a control method for a washing and care device provided by the present invention;

[0044] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a second implementation of the method for controlling washing equipment provided by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments to them as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios. For example, although this specific embodiment is described in conjunction with the control method of the washing and care equipment applied to the washing and care equipment, the control method of the washing and care equipment of the present invention can obviously also be used in other equipment. Such changes in the application scenarios do not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] Washing machines are common household laundry equipment. According to the washing method, washing machines can be roughly divided into pulsator washing machines and drum washing machines. Taking drum washing machines as an example, in order to meet the user's usage needs, drum washing machines are equipped with a program recommendation function, so that drum washing machines can run according to the recommended washing program, thereby improving the washing effect of clothes. In the prior art, the parameters of the recommended washing program are recommended according to the set method, and the user's personal information such as age, gender, and travel information such as the use time period cannot be considered. For example, users usually need to perform clothing fragrance care on weekdays, and need to perform more thorough clothing washing on weekends; or, younger users have a higher frequency of washing and care, and do not need a longer washing and care time, while older users have a lower frequency of washing and care, and need a long time to wash and care for thorough cleaning. Therefore, the prior art cannot meet the personalized needs of users only through recommended washing programs, which in turn affects the user's usage experience.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to solve the problem that the recommended washing program alone cannot meet the personalized needs of users in the prior art, thereby affecting the user's experience, the control method of the washing equipment provided by the present invention includes:

[0048] S1: Based on the information of multiple users and the washing and care information of each user in different time periods, a database of recommended washing and care parameters is established.

[0049] S2: Get the current user information and current time period.

[0050] S3: According to the current user information, the current time period and the database of recommended washing and care parameters, the currently recommended washing and care parameters are obtained.

[0051] S4: Generate the corresponding washing and care program according to the currently recommended washing and care parameters.

[0052] S5: Start the corresponding washing and care program.

[0053] When adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme, the present invention establishes a recommendation database for users to perform washing and care in different time periods, and provides users with recommended washing and care parameters by obtaining user information and time information, thereby meeting the personalized needs of users for different customer groups and different itinerary information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0054] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned step S1 further includes: obtaining multiple user information and the washing and care information of each user in different time periods, wherein the user information includes the user's age information, gender information and regional information; classifying all users according to the age information, gender information and regional information of each user; obtaining washing and care parameters for different types of users in different time periods according to the washing and care information of each user in different time periods, wherein the same type of users has multiple sets of washing and care parameters in the same time period; among the multiple sets of washing and care parameters for the same type of users in the same time period, selecting the set of washing and care parameters that appear the most times, and determining the set of washing and care parameters as the recommended washing and care parameters for the type of users in the time period; establishing a database of recommended washing and care parameters that correspond to each other among user types, time periods and recommended washing and care parameters.

[0055] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the washing and care equipment of the present invention can realize the construction of the user's personal user portrait. First, through the Internet of Things devices, mobile phone APPs, home-installed cameras, smart speakers, etc., the users of the machine are identified, numbered, and corresponding user files are established respectively, so that the user's personal information such as age information, gender information and regional information can be obtained, as well as the washing and care information corresponding to the washing and care mode preferred by the user in different time periods, and all the above information is sent to the background database; and according to the user's personal information such as age information, gender information and regional information under big data, the user is classified to realize the deep portrait of the time, program and mode of the use needs of different categories of users, so as to recommend data to users; and then, from multiple groups of washing and care parameters of the same type of users in the same time period, the group of washing and care parameters that appear the most times can be selected as the recommended washing and care parameters for this type of user in this time period, so as to carry out fixed-point recommendation and optimization of user information of the same basic information; finally, a database of recommended washing and care parameters corresponding to each other among user types, time periods and recommended washing and care parameters is established to guide the next step of work. Then, the personalized needs of users can be met for different customer groups and different itinerary information, and the user's use experience can be improved.

[0056] Based on the specific implementation of the above step S1, in this implementation, the above step S3 further includes: determining the type of the current user based on the age information, gender information and regional information of the current user; determining the currently recommended washing and care parameters based on the type of the current user, the current time period and the database of recommended washing and care parameters.

[0057] When the above technical solution is adopted, the washing and care equipment of the present invention can accurately locate the current user's usage tendency through the constructed user portrait evaluation model. At the same time, the user's itinerary and corresponding washing and care settings can be inferred through the database according to the user portrait and the current time period, and then the currently recommended washing and care parameters can be determined. For example, users of different ages have different preference settings when washing clothes in the morning, or users of the same age have different preference settings when washing clothes on weekdays or weekends. In this way, the personalized needs of users can be met for different customer groups and different itinerary information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0058] Refer to the following Figure 2 , the second embodiment of the control method of the washing equipment of the present invention is introduced. Figure 2 Flow chart of a second embodiment of the control method of a washing machine of the present invention. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the washing machine includes:

[0059] S201: Building a database of recommended washing and care parameters based on information of multiple users and washing and care information of each user in different time periods.

[0060] S202: Obtain current user information and current time period,

[0061] S203: Obtain currently recommended washing and care parameters according to current user information, current time period and a database of recommended washing and care parameters.

[0062] S204: Prompt the user whether to confirm to use the washing and care parameters.

[0063] S205: When the user confirms to use the washing and care parameters, a corresponding washing and care program is generated.

[0064] S206: When the user confirms that the washing and care parameters are not to be used, the user is prompted to manually adjust the washing and care parameters, and a corresponding washing and care program is generated according to the washing and care parameters manually adjusted by the user.

[0065] S207: Start the corresponding washing and care program.

[0066] When the above technical solution is adopted, the user can confirm or modify the currently recommended washing and care parameters. When the washing and care parameters recommended by the database are consistent with the washing parameters intended by the user, the user confirms to use the washing and care parameters, and the controller directly starts the corresponding washing and care program and starts washing and care; when the washing and care parameters recommended by the database are inconsistent with the washing parameters intended by the user, the user confirms not to use the washing and care parameters, and manually adjusts the washing and care parameters to avoid the washing and care equipment from executing incorrect washing and care parameters. The controller uses the modified washing and care parameters and starts the corresponding washing and care program and starts washing and care. In this way, the personalized needs of users can be met for different customer groups and different itinerary information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0067] In this preferred embodiment, when the user confirms not to use the washing and care parameters, after the user manually adjusts the washing and care parameters, the implementation further includes: recording the washing and care parameters currently in use, and updating the washing and care parameters manually adjusted by the user to the currently recommended washing and care parameters; adding the washing and care parameters manually adjusted by the user to the database of recommended washing and care parameters. Optionally, the washing and care device includes a display screen, and when the washing and care device provides the user with recommended washing and care parameters, the display screen displays the recommended washing and care parameters and provides them to the user for confirmation.

[0068] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, by updating the washing and care parameters manually adjusted by the user to the currently recommended washing and care parameters, the controller directly recommends the washing and care parameters adjusted by the user as the currently recommended washing and care parameters during the next washing and care operation at the same time, further deepening the user portrait, and being able to more accurately characterize the user's preferred washing and care mode based on the user's daily itinerary, and upload it to the system to automatically iterate the previous washing and care model. At the same time, the washing and care parameters adjusted this time can also be used as a reference to guide the optimization of the big data intelligent model to make accurate recommendations to other users.

[0069] In a possible implementation, the washing and care equipment includes a washing drum and a detergent dispenser, wherein the washing and care program is a washing program, and the washing and care parameters include washing time, detergent dosage, and washing drum rotation speed. For example, the washing programs include quick washing, normal washing, and deep washing, wherein the washing time of quick washing is 15 minutes, the detergent dosage is 8 ml, and the washing drum rotation speed is relatively fast; the washing time of normal washing is 40 minutes, the detergent dosage is 20 ml, and the washing drum rotation speed is relatively fast; the washing time of deep washing is 72 minutes, the detergent dosage is 30 ml, and the washing drum rotation speed is relatively slow. In one embodiment, customers between the ages of 20 and 40 tend to use a quick-wash program in the early mornings on weekdays, a normal-wash program in the evenings on weekdays, and a deep-wash program on holidays. When the washing program is started in the early mornings on weekdays, the controller recommends washing parameters corresponding to the quick-wash program to the customers, so as to meet the customers' washing needs to the greatest extent, thereby meeting the users' personalized needs for different customer groups and different itinerary information, and improving the users' usage experience.

[0070] In another possible implementation, the washing and care equipment includes a washing and care equipment including a drying drum, wherein the washing and care program is a drying program, and the washing and care parameters include drying time, drying temperature and drying drum rotation rate. For example, the drying program includes quick drying, ordinary drying and deep drying, wherein the drying time of quick drying is 1h, the drying temperature is 80 degrees, and the drying drum rotation rate is fast; the drying time of ordinary drying is 2h, the drying temperature is 60 degrees, and the drying drum rotation rate is fast; the drying time of deep drying is 4h, the drying temperature is 60 degrees, and the drying drum rotation rate is slow. In one embodiment, customers aged 20 to 40 often use the drying program of quick drying in the early morning of weekdays, the drying program of ordinary drying in the evening of weekdays, and the drying program of deep drying on holidays. When the drying program is started in the early morning of weekdays, the controller recommends the drying parameters corresponding to the drying program of quick drying to the customer, so as to meet the customer's drying needs to the greatest extent, and then meet the personalized needs of users for different customer groups and different itinerary information, and then improve the user's use experience.

[0071] In another possible implementation, the washing and care equipment includes a care barrel and a care agent delivery box, the washing and care program is a care program, and the care parameters include care time, care agent delivery amount and care barrel rotation rate. For example, the care program includes quick care, ordinary care and deep care, among which the care time of quick care is 30min, the care agent delivery amount is 3ml, and the care barrel rotation rate is fast; the care time of ordinary care is 1h, the care agent delivery amount is 6ml, and the care barrel rotation rate is fast; the care time of deep care is 2h, the care agent delivery amount is 10ml, and the care barrel rotation rate is slow. In one embodiment, customers aged 20 to 40 often use the care program of quick care in the early morning of weekdays, the care program of ordinary care in the evening of weekdays, and the care program of deep care on holidays. When the care program is started in the early morning of weekdays, the controller recommends the care parameters corresponding to the care program of quick care to the customer, so as to meet the care needs of the customer to the greatest extent, thereby meeting the personalized needs of users for different customer groups and different itinerary information, thereby improving the user's use experience. In this embodiment, compared with the traditional solution in which the user manually adds aromatherapy agents, this solution realizes human-computer interaction and machine linkage based on the needs of user portrait positioning, and can record, learn, and optimize aromatherapy washing and care parameters in real time according to user needs and dynamic changes in scenes. Users can then match the types and concentrations of aromatherapy by themselves to generate a unique aromatherapy fragrance pattern to meet the user's personalized customization needs.
