[0067] 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 and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0068] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a washing device control method according to an exemplary embodiment; the method of this embodiment can be executed by a washing device control device, which can be configured in a washing device (such as a washing machine, a dishwasher, etc.), or can be configured in a terminal device associated with the washing device (such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, etc.). Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps S101-S102:

[0069] In step S101, the storage information of the items to be washed in the washing device is obtained.

[0070] In this embodiment, the washing device control device can obtain the item storage information of the items to be washed in the washing device when detecting that the user puts items to be washed into the washing device. The item storage information may include at least one of the following:

[0071] The number of items, the weight of items, the volume of items, the dirtiness of items, and the length of time items have been stored.

[0072] For example, the above-mentioned article storage information can be obtained by collecting data or statistics or analysis results of the collected data from a detection module preset on the washing device (such as a weight sensor, an image sensor, a timer, and a data processor). For example, the number of articles to be washed can be collected based on the weight sensor, and the image of the articles to be washed can be collected based on the image sensor to determine the volume, quantity, and turbidity of the articles to be washed, and the timer can be used to start timing from the moment the articles to be washed are put into the washing device to obtain the storage time of the articles to be washed.

[0073] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned method of detecting the storage information of items is only for illustrative purposes. In practical applications, other methods can be adopted to obtain the above-mentioned various storage information of items based on actual needs, such as detecting the turbidity of items based on chemical detection methods, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0074] In step S102, in response to the article storage information satisfying a preset washing condition, the washing device is controlled to perform a target operation.

[0075] In this embodiment, after obtaining the item storage information of the items to be washed in the washing device, the item storage information can be compared with the preset washing conditions, and then in response to the item storage information satisfying the preset washing conditions, the washing device can be controlled to perform the target operation.

[0076] As an example, the article storage information satisfies the preset washing condition and may include at least one of the following (1) to (5):

[0077] (1) The quantity of the items is greater than or equal to the quantity threshold;

[0078] (2) The weight of the item is greater than or equal to the weight threshold;

[0079] (3) The volume of the item is greater than or equal to the volume threshold;

[0080] (4) The dirtiness of the article is greater than or equal to the dirtiness threshold;

[0081] (5) The storage time of the item is greater than or equal to the storage time threshold.

[0082] That is to say, as long as one of the above (1) to (5) is true, it can be regarded that the item storage information meets the preset washing condition, and then the washing device can be controlled to perform the target operation.

[0083] In some embodiments, the method of controlling the washing device to perform the target operation may include controlling the washing device to start a washing process (e.g., normal washing or sterilization washing of the items to be washed, etc.), and / or controlling the washing device to output a first prompt message, which may be used to prompt that the items to be washed in the washing device are washable, and the first prompt message is presented in at least one of text, icon, and sound. In this embodiment, the method of controlling the washing device to output the first prompt message may include controlling the panel of the washing device to present the above-mentioned first prompt message in at least one of text, icon, and sound.

[0084] For example, the washing equipment control device can control the washing equipment to output a first prompt message in response to the item storage information satisfying a preset washing condition, so as to prompt the user that the items to be washed in the washing equipment can be washed. Then, after receiving a washing instruction triggered by the user (for example, triggered by the user after seeing the first prompt message), the washing equipment can be controlled to start the washing process. In this way, it can be ensured that the control of the washing equipment meets the actual needs of the user, and the intelligent level of controlling the washing equipment can be further improved. It can also be achieved that multiple washes can be combined into one wash, so as to save water and electricity and realize a more economical and intelligent washing method.

[0085] From the above description, it can be seen that this embodiment obtains the item storage information of the items to be washed in the washing device, and controls the washing device to perform the target operation in response to the item storage information satisfying the preset washing conditions, thereby improving the intelligence level of controlling the washing device and achieving a more economical and intelligent washing method.

[0086] The present disclosure is described below with reference to a specific embodiment, but is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0087] Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a washing device control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; this embodiment is described by taking the washing device as a washing machine and the items to be washed as clothes as an example. Figure 2As shown, when the washing device control device detects that the drum cover of the clothes drum is opened and then closed, it can be regarded as detecting that the clothes to be washed are placed in the washing machine (i.e., the clothes drum of the washing machine). On this basis, in order to improve the accuracy of the placement detection, a light sensor and other devices preset in the clothes drum can also be used to assist the detection, that is, when it is detected that the drum cover of the clothes drum is opened and then closed, and the light sensor detects that the light in the clothes drum changes, it can be regarded as detecting that the clothes to be washed are placed in the washing machine (i.e., the clothes drum of the washing machine). On this basis, at least one storage information of the clothes to be washed in the washing machine can be detected based on a module such as a weight sensor in the clothes drum, such as the number, weight, volume, turbidity, storage time, etc. of the clothes, and in response to the storage information of the clothes to be washed in the washing machine meeting the preset washing conditions, the washing machine can be controlled to start the washing process (including sterilizing and cleaning the clothes to be washed in the washing machine), or the washing machine can be controlled to output a first prompt information, and the washing machine can be controlled to start the washing process after receiving the washing instruction from the user.

[0088] In other embodiments, before controlling the washing device to perform the target operation, the washing device is in a storage state (ie, a state in which items to be washed in the washing device are stored).

[0089] Wherein, in the above storage state, the washing equipment control device can perform the following operations 1) and 2):

[0090] 1) Not controlling the washing equipment to start the washing process;

[0091] 2) Based on the set cycle, the item storage information of the items to be washed in the washing device is obtained until the washing process of the washing device is started (that is, the items to be washed currently in the washing device have been washed); optionally, before starting the washing process of the washing device, the washing device control device can output a third prompt information to prompt that the items to be washed currently in the washing device will be washed.

[0092] In some embodiments, the washing device may start the storage state of the washing device in response to receiving a storage state start instruction triggered by a user. Alternatively, when the user puts items to be washed into the washing device, the washing device control device detects that the storage information of the items to be washed in the washing device does not meet the preset washing conditions, and starts the storage state of the washing device.

[0093] Furthermore, the washing device control device can obtain the item storage information of the items to be washed in the washing device and / or detect whether the item storage information meets the preset washing conditions when the washing device is in the storage state.

[0094] In simple terms, the above storage state can be understood as the "storage mode" of the washing machine. In this mode, after the user puts the items to be washed into the washing machine, the user does not need to manually start the washing process (for example, click the "start" button on the device panel, etc.), but the washing machine control device determines whether to control the washing machine to execute the target operation such as starting the washing process according to the storage information of the items to be washed in the washing machine.

[0095] For example, when the washing machine starts the storage state, if the user puts the items to be washed into the washing machine, the washing machine can detect whether the item storage information of the items to be washed in the washing machine meets the preset washing conditions, and then when it is detected that the item storage information does not meet the preset washing conditions, the above 1) and 2) operations are performed. As an example, the item storage information obtained in the above 2) at least includes the storage time of the items, so that when the storage time of the items reaches the set time threshold, it is determined that the storage information of the items meets the preset washing conditions, thereby starting the washing process of the washing machine; or, when the storage time of the items does not reach the set time threshold, it is determined that the storage information of the items does not meet the preset washing conditions, and the above 1) and 2) operations are continued.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the washing device is in a storage state, the washing device control device may further output a second prompt message, wherein the second prompt message may be used to prompt that the items to be washed in the washing device can be stored. Exemplarily, the second prompt message may be presented in text form and / or icon form. For example, the washing device control device may further output the second prompt message in a manner that may include presenting the second prompt message in text form and / or icon form on the panel of the washing device, and / or outputting the second prompt message to a terminal device associated with the washing device (such as a smart phone, etc.).

[0097] In addition, when the washing device is in the storage state, the washing device control device can also control the washing device to start the washing process in response to receiving the washing instruction. That is to say, in the storage state, although the item storage information does not meet the preset washing conditions, the washing device control device will not automatically control the washing device to start the washing process, but the user can still trigger the washing instruction based on their own needs, so that the washing device control device controls the washing device to start the washing process, so that the control form of the washing device can be enriched to meet the actual needs of the user.

[0098] In other embodiments, taking into account the problem that the items to be washed stored in the washing device in the storage state may breed bacteria, this embodiment can also control the washing device to start a sterilization process when the washing device is in the storage state to ensure the hygiene of the items to be washed and enhance the user experience.

[0099] On the other hand, the washing device control device can also respond to receiving a scheduled washing instruction for the washing device and control the washing device to wash according to the scheduled washing instruction. It is worth noting that in the above-mentioned storage state, the washing device can still support scheduled washing. However, in order to ensure the safety of washing and meet the actual needs of users, it can be prohibited to add items to be washed to the washing device in the scheduled washing state. If it is really necessary to add, the reservation can be suspended; or, in the scheduled washing state, if the user adds items to be washed to the washing device again, the reservation can be automatically canceled. If a reservation is still required after adding the items to be washed, the user can reset the reservation information.

[0100] Figure 3 is a block diagram of a washing device control device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure; the device of this embodiment can be configured in a washing device, such as a washing machine, a dishwasher, etc. Specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, the device may include: an acquisition module 110 and a control module 120, wherein:

[0102] The control module 120 is used to control the washing device to perform a target operation in response to the item storage information satisfying a preset washing condition.

[0103] From the above description, it can be seen that this embodiment obtains the item storage information of the items to be washed in the washing device, and controls the washing device to perform the target operation in response to the item storage information satisfying the preset washing conditions, thereby improving the intelligence level of controlling the washing device and achieving a more economical and intelligent washing method.
