[0033] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. 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 consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of a control method for a washing machine, which can be applied to a washing machine, and the method includes:

[0035] S100: Detecting an input operation on the display screen.

[0036] S200: When the input operation matches the preset operation, the information of the cleaning object is sent to the dryer; the preset operation may at least include: a preset sliding operation and / or a preset clicking operation acting on a preset area in the display screen; the washing machine and the dryer are wirelessly connected.

[0037] The washing machine may be any device having a function of washing clothes, and the drying machine may include any device having a function of drying clothes.

[0038] The washing machine can be connected to the dryer by communication, such as through a local area network, or through a Bluetooth connection, or through other near field communication methods, or through other methods. When the washing machine and the dryer are connected to each other by communication, for example, the dryer and the washing machine are paired, the washing machine can exchange information with the dryer.

[0039] Exemplarily, the washing machine and the drying machine are two separate devices.

[0040] The washing machine has a display screen, which includes a touch display screen. The display screen may have corresponding controls, and the display screen may be used to receive and detect input operations of a user input acting on the display screen.

[0041] Exemplarily, the washing machine may further include a first controller, which serves as a control center of the washing machine and is used to control the washing process of the washing machine and to control information interaction between the washing machine and devices associated with the washing machine.

[0042] Exemplarily, the display screen may also be connected to the first controller, the first controller may interact with the display screen for information, the first controller may control the display screen to detect input operations, and the display screen may transmit relevant information of the detected input operations to the first controller.

[0043] Exemplarily, the washing machine may further include a first wireless communication module connected to the first controller and configured to send information about the cleaning object according to a control signal of the first controller.

[0044] For example, the positional relationship between the washing machine and the dryer can be determined according to actual usage requirements. For example, the dryer can be located above, below, on the left, on the right, in front of, or behind the washing machine.

[0045] For example, the distance between the washing machine and the dryer can also be determined according to actual needs, as long as the distance is within the communication range of the two.

[0046] Exemplarily, a washing machine and a drying machine are two adjacent devices.

[0047] Exemplarily, the dryer has a second controller, which serves as a control center of the dryer, controls information interaction between the dryer and associated devices, and can also control the operation of the dryer.

[0048] Exemplarily, the dryer also has a second wireless communication module connected to the second controller, which is used to receive information sent wirelessly by the associated device and transmit the received information to the second controller.

[0049] For example, the second wireless communication module may receive the information of the cleaning object sent by the first wireless communication module in the washing machine, and transmit the received cleaning object short message to the second controller.

[0050] Exemplarily, the second controller may also dry the cleaning object according to the received information about the cleaning object.

[0051] Before the washing machine synchronizes data with the dryer, the washing machine can detect an input operation on the display screen, for example, it can detect whether there is an input operation on the display screen through the display screen.

[0052] After detecting the input operation on the display screen, relevant information of the input operation can be obtained, the input operation can be matched with the preset operation, and when the input operation matches the preset operation, the information of the cleaning object is sent to the dryer.

[0053] The preset operation may at least include: a preset sliding operation and / or a preset clicking operation acting on a preset area in the display screen.

[0054] Exemplarily, the preset operation is a preset sliding operation acting on a preset area in the display screen. When it is detected that the input operation is an operation acting on the preset area and the input operation matches the preset sliding operation, it indicates that the input operation matches the preset sliding operation, and then the washing machine can send information about the cleaning object to the dryer.

[0055] Exemplarily, the preset sliding operation may be a sliding operation of preset graphics, including a linear sliding operation in a preset direction, a sliding operation of polygonal graphics, a circular sliding operation, an elliptical sliding operation, or any other preset sliding operation.

[0056] For example, the preset area can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and any area in the display screen can be used as the preset area, for example, an area in the display screen without controls.

[0057] In the case where it is detected that the input operation is a sliding operation of a preset image, it means that the input operation matches the preset operation, and then the washing machine sends the information of the washing object to the dryer.

[0058] Exemplarily, the preset operation is a click operation on the preset area, and the click operation may include a single-click operation and a double-click operation, and may also include more than two consecutive click operations.

[0059] Exemplarily, the preset area includes preset controls, and the preset operation may further include an operation on the preset control, such as a click operation on the preset control.

[0060] Exemplarily, the preset control may be a control dedicated to sending information about the cleaning object.

[0061] When it is detected that the input operation is a preset operation acting on a preset control in the preset area, it means that the input operation matches the preset operation, and then the washing machine sends the information of the cleaning object to the dryer.

[0062] For example, when the washing machine and the dryer are connected to the same local area network, the washing machine can upload the information of the cleaning object to the server, and then send it to the dryer through the server. When the washing machine and the dryer perform wireless transmission through near field communication, the first controller can also control the first wireless communication module to send the information of the cleaning object, and the second wireless communication module in the dryer receives the information of the cleaning object.

[0063] Exemplarily, the preset operation can be determined according to the user's usage habits. The preset operation can also be adjusted according to the adjustment operation.

[0064] On the one hand, the washing machine can send the information of the cleaning object to the dryer by inputting an input operation that matches the preset operation, such as inputting a sliding operation and / or a clicking operation that matches the preset operation on the display screen. The clicking operation may include a single-click operation and a double-click operation, etc. This information synchronization method is simpler to operate. The information of the cleaning object can be sent to the dryer through a simple sliding operation, etc., without the need for cumbersome operation procedures and reducing the operation steps, thereby improving the efficiency of synchronizing the information of the cleaning object in the washing machine to the dryer and improving the user experience.

[0065] On the other hand, by matching the input operation with the preset operation, it is possible to reduce the situation where the washing machine sends the information about the cleaning object to the dryer when any input operation is detected, thereby reducing the situation where the false triggering due to misoperation or other operations is reduced, thereby reducing the situation where the information about the cleaning object is sent when it is not necessary.

[0066] On the other hand, the preset operations can be adjusted according to the user's usage habits or usage requirements, so as to facilitate the user to input the user's input operations through the display screen and improve the user's usage experience.

[0067] After the washing machine sends the information of the cleaning object to the dryer, the dryer can dry the cleaning object according to the information of the cleaning object.

[0068] In one embodiment, the moving direction of the preset operation is consistent with the direction of the dryer relative to the washing machine.

[0069] In actual usage scenarios, the washing machine and the dryer have a relative position relationship in space. The preset operation can be determined according to the position of the dryer relative to the washing machine, and the moving direction of the preset operation can be consistent with the direction of the dryer relative to the washing machine.

[0070] For example, refer to Figure 2, is a schematic diagram of a position relationship, the preset operation is a sliding operation, the dryer is located on the left side of the washing machine, and the sliding direction of the sliding operation is sliding to the left, and the sliding operation is an operation of sliding to the left in the preset area on the display screen.

[0071] For example, refer to Figure 3 , is a schematic diagram of a position relationship, the preset operation is a sliding operation, the dryer is located on the right side of the washing machine, then the sliding direction of the sliding operation is sliding to the right, and the sliding operation is an operation of sliding to the right in a preset area on the display screen.

[0072] For example, refer to Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of a position relationship, the preset operation is a sliding operation, the dryer is located above the washing machine, the sliding direction of the sliding operation is an upward sliding operation, and the sliding operation is an upward sliding operation in a preset area on the display screen.

[0073] For another example, the preset operation is a sliding operation, and the dryer is located below the washing machine, then the sliding direction of the sliding operation is a downward sliding operation, and the sliding operation is an operation of sliding downward in a preset area on the display screen.

[0074] In this way, the sliding operation can be performed according to the position of the dryer relative to the washing machine. Since the positional relationship of the dryer relative to the washing machine is known, the user can perform a simple sliding gesture operation based on the positional relationship to control the washing machine to send information about the laundry to the dryer. No other operations are required, which saves complicated operations and improves the user experience.

[0075] In addition, through such operation, the transmission direction of the information of the washing objects can also be consistent. For example, if the dryer is located on the left side of the washing machine, the transmission direction of the information of the washing objects is from the washing machine on the right to the dryer on the left. If the transmission direction of the information of the washing objects is from right to left, the transmission of the information of the washing objects can be achieved by simply sliding to the left.

[0076] In one embodiment, S200, when the input operation matches the preset operation, the washing machine sends the information of the cleaning object to the dryer, including:

[0077] When it is detected that the input operation is a sliding operation and the sliding direction of the input operation is consistent with the direction of the preset sliding operation, it is determined that the input operation matches the preset operation, and then the washing machine sends the information of the washing object to the dryer.

[0078] In this embodiment, the matching condition is satisfied when the sliding direction of the input operation is consistent with the direction of the preset sliding operation, and the washing machine can send the information of the washing object to the dryer. This method makes the operation of controlling the washing machine easier and improves the user experience.

[0079] Exemplarily, the direction of the preset sliding operation is based on Figures 2 to 4 The relative positional relationship between the washing machine and the dryer shown is determined.

[0080] In one embodiment, the control method of the washing machine may further include:

[0081] An input operation acting on the display screen is detected, where the input operation is a first sliding operation and / or a first clicking operation; in response to the sliding operation, the washing machine sends information about the cleaning object to the dryer.

[0082] In this embodiment, the input sliding operation may be any sliding operation, and the information of the cleaning object may be sent to the dryer when the sliding operation is detected.

[0083] In one embodiment, the control method of the washing machine may further include:

[0084] When the first sliding operation matches a preset sliding operation in the preset operations, or when the first clicking operation matches a preset clicking operation in the preset operations, the washing machine sends the information of the washing object to the dryer.

[0085] In one embodiment, reference Figure 5 , is a schematic diagram of another information processing, when the input operation matches the preset operation, the washing machine sends the information of the cleaning object to the dryer, including:

[0086] S201, detecting an operation track of an input operation.

[0087] S202: When the operation track is consistent with the preset track of the preset operation, determine that the input operation matches the preset operation.

[0088] S203, the washing machine sends the information of the washing object to the dryer.

[0089] After the washing machine detects the input operation, the operation track of the input operation can be determined according to the input operation. When the input operation is a sliding operation, the operation track of the input operation can be identified and detected. The operation track may include a movement track, and the movement track includes a starting position, an end position, a movement direction, a movement path and / or a movement distance, etc.

[0090] The preset trajectory of the preset operation may also include a starting position, an ending position, a moving direction, a moving path and / or a moving distance, etc.

[0091] When the operation track of the input operation is consistent with the operation track of the preset operation, it is determined that the input operation matches the preset operation, and then the washing machine sends the information of the washing object to the dryer.

[0092] In one embodiment, reference Figure 6 , is a schematic diagram of another information processing, when the input operation matches the preset operation, the washing machine sends the information of the cleaning object to the dryer, including:

[0093] S204: When an input operation acting on a preset control in the display screen is detected, determine whether the input operation is the same as the preset operation.

[0094] S205, when the input operation is the same as the preset operation, the washing machine sends the information of the washing object to the dryer.

[0095] Figure 6 The steps shown and Figure 5 There is no necessary sequential relationship between the steps shown.

[0096] This embodiment is an embodiment in which the preset operation is an operation acting on a preset control. The preset operation may be a click operation or other operations acting on a preset control.

[0097] When it is detected that the input operation is an operation acting on a preset control in the display screen, it is determined whether the input operation is the same as the preset operation. The preset operation here can be a preset operation acting on the preset control, such as a single click operation of the preset control. When the input operation is the same as the preset operation, the washing machine sends the information of the washing object to the dryer.

[0098] In one embodiment, the display screen includes a first configuration interface. The first configuration interface can be determined according to a control system or an operating system of the washing machine, and the first configuration interface is used to configure a preset operation.

[0101] When configuring the preset operation, the configuration can be performed through the first configuration interface. The first configuration interface can be displayed first, and then the preset operation can be configured according to the configuration operation acting on the first configuration interface.

[0102] Through the configuration method of this embodiment, preset operations can be configured according to the user's usage habits and usage requirements, thereby making it more convenient for the user to input input operations for data transmission on the washing machine, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0103] Exemplarily, when configuring the preset operation through the first configuration interface, the preset operation can be configured or updated according to the positional relationship of the dryer relative to the washing machine.

[0104] In one embodiment, the first configuration interface has a first configuration control, and the first configuration control is used to configure a preset operation.

[0105] The first configuration control is a virtual control in the first configuration interface, and is used to configure the preset operation, including configuring the operation track of the preset operation.

[0106] The size, structure, style, etc. of the first configuration control can be determined according to actual needs and are not limited.

[0107] In one embodiment, the washing machine is wirelessly connected to a preset terminal, a preset application is installed in the preset terminal, and the preset application is used to configure the washing machine.

[0108] The preset device may be a mobile terminal, such as a remote controller, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like, which can control the washing machine, or a device that can control the washing machine to configure. Exemplarily, the remote controller may be a remote controller configured by the washing machine at the factory, which is a dedicated remote controller for the washing machine. Exemplarily, the preset application is an application adapted for the washing machine, which can at least configure the preset operations of the washing machine.

[0113] After detecting that the configuration operation acting on the second configuration interface is recorded as the second configuration operation, the preset operation is configured according to the second configuration operation.

[0114] Since the preset device is connected to the washing machine wirelessly, the preset operation can be configured remotely. When updating the preset operation, there is no need to move to the location of the washing machine. The preset operation can be configured through the washing machine, thereby improving the convenience of configuration and improving the user experience.

[0115] In one embodiment, the preset application has a control interface for sending information about the cleaning object, and the control interface can at least be used to send information about the cleaning object. The interface style of the control interface is not limited, and can include a control control, which is used to send information about the cleaning object.
