These drawings and the written description are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0066] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0069] The clothes dryer is convenient and worry-free to use, with simple and fast operation. Its safety and aesthetics have exceeded those of traditional manual drying tools, and it often integrates multiple functions such as balcony lighting, express delivery air drying, light wave sterilization and disinfection, clothes drying, air purification, clothes storage, dust and moisture prevention, etc. It is increasingly recognized and loved by people.

[0070] In the prior art, most clothes dryers are controlled by external devices (remote controls, mobile phones, etc.). Since the height positions of the clothes drying rods of the clothes dryers suitable for different users are different, each user needs to adjust the clothes dryer to a suitable position through an external device when drying clothes.

[0071] However, this method has the situations where the user's hands are wet or it is inconvenient to hold the clothes to control the external device, and the problem that it is rather cumbersome to adjust the position of the clothes dryer through the external device each time.

[0072] The control method of the clothes dryer provided by this application obtains the instruction information for the user to turn on the lifting function of the clothes dryer, starts the image recognition program and obtains the image information in the space where the clothes dryer is located, performs recognition processing on the image information to obtain the target user information, and determines the first lifting height of the clothes dryer according to the target user information and the clothes dryer information table. According to the first lifting height, the clothes drying rod of the clothes dryer is controlled to lift to the lifting position corresponding to the first lifting height. This method combines the instruction information sent by the user with image recognition, improving the intelligence level of the clothes dryer and enhancing the user experience.

[0073] The following uses specific embodiments to detail the technical solutions of this application and how the technical solutions of this application solve the above technical problems. These several specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] Figure 1 is the flow of the control method of the clothes dryer provided by this application Figure 1 As Figure 1 shown, the control method of the clothes dryer provided in this embodiment includes:

[0075] S101: Obtain the instruction information of the user, and the instruction information is used to indicate turning on the lifting function of the clothes dryer.

[0076] Among them, the instruction information can be, for example: key instruction information, voice instruction information or image instruction information, etc. When the instruction information is key instruction information, this instruction information can be triggered by the user touching or pressing the corresponding instruction device of the clothes dryer. At this time, the instruction device is connected to the clothes dryer controller, and the instruction device can be installed at a position close to the clothes dryer and easy for the user to operate. The functions included in the instruction device are: turning on the lifting function of the clothes dryer and turning off the lifting function of the clothes dryer.

[0077] It can be understood that obtaining the instruction information for the user to turn on the lifting function of the clothes dryer is to prepare for the lifting of the clothes drying rod of the clothes dryer. When the clothes dryer controller receives the instruction information, it will start the image recognition program. This step can enable the image recognition program to be started when the user needs to control the lifting height of the clothes dryer, avoiding the problem that the clothes dryer performs the lifting function when the user appears in the image recognition area of the clothes dryer and does not need to use the clothes dryer, and at the same time ensuring that the image recognition program remains closed when the lifting function of the clothes dryer is turned off, so as to achieve the purpose of saving household electricity.

[0078] For example, the instruction device can be installed on the wall of the space where the drying machine is located. The instruction device can be a switch instruction device. The user can turn on the lifting function of the drying machine by pressing above the instruction device, and can turn off the lifting function of the drying machine by pressing below the instruction device.

[0079] S102: Start the image recognition program and obtain the image information in the space where the drying machine is located.

[0080] Among them, the image recognition program is used to take pictures in the space where the drying machine is located, and video information can be obtained. The video information is composed of multiple frames of image information. Therefore, the image information in the space where the drying machine is located can be obtained through the image recognition program.

[0081] The image recognition program is started after receiving the instruction information. Obtaining the image information is to analyze whether there is a user in the space where the drying machine is located. If there is a user, the behavior of the user is analyzed through the image information. When the behavior of the user is the behavior of waiting to dry clothes (that is, the behavior of the user is the action in the drying process, it can be considered that the behavior of the user is the behavior of waiting to dry clothes), this user can be determined as the target user, so as to control the lifting height of the clothes rod of the drying machine to the lifting height of the clothes rod of the drying machine corresponding to the target user.

[0082] This step can not only accurately identify the target user when there are two or more users in the space where the drying machine is located, but also match the corresponding lifting height of the clothes rod of the drying machine according to the characteristics of the target user.

[0083] S103: Identify and process the image information to obtain the target user information, and determine the first lifting height of the drying machine according to the target user information and the drying machine information table. The drying machine information table includes: the association relationship between user information and the lifting height of the drying machine.

[0084] Among them, the target user information is used to indicate the information that can determine the lifting height of the clothes rod of the drying machine corresponding to the target user. For example: height characteristics and appearance characteristics.

[0085] The first lifting height is used to indicate the lifting height corresponding to the target user. This lifting height can be set in advance by the target user or calculated through the corresponding characteristics of the target user.

[0086] The image information processing steps corresponding to the image recognition program include: three steps of image preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification or matching. Image preprocessing is a preparatory link for image recognition. Image noise can be removed, and the brightness and contrast of the image can be standardized through methods such as filtering and histogram equalization to improve the image quality and facilitate subsequent processing.

[0087] The goal of feature extraction is to extract significant features from an image that can characterize the target, such as geometric features like edges, corners, and contours, or visual features like color and texture. Significant features are crucial for subsequent recognition. Commonly used feature extraction algorithms include SIFT, SURF, HOG, etc.

[0088] Classification or matching is the core step of image recognition. Based on the extracted features, the image is compared with the sample images in the database, and a classifier or matching algorithm is used to determine the target category or identity in the image. Commonly used classification methods include SVM, random forest, etc. Matching algorithms include nearest neighbor matching, correlation matching, etc.

[0089] S104: According to the first lifting height, control the clothes rod of the clothes dryer to lift to the lifting position corresponding to the first lifting height.

[0090] When the first lifting height is determined, the motor drives and controls the clothes rod of the clothes dryer to slowly lift to the lifting position corresponding to the first lifting height. For example, the lifting speed of the clothes rod can be set to ensure the safe lifting of the clothes rod.

[0091] After the clothes rod of the clothes dryer lifts to the first lifting height, the user places the clothes to be dried on the clothes rod of the clothes dryer. The clothes dryer can weigh the clothes to be dried. When the weight of the clothes to be dried exceeds the load-bearing capacity of the clothes rod, the clothes dryer can send an alarm message to prompt the user not to add weight to the clothes rod of the clothes dryer, thereby ensuring the service life of the clothes dryer.

[0092] The control method of the clothes dryer provided in this embodiment, by obtaining the instruction information of the user, the instruction information is used to indicate to turn on the lifting function of the clothes dryer, start the image recognition program and obtain the image information in the space where the clothes dryer is located, perform recognition processing on the image information to obtain the target user information, and according to the target user information and the clothes dryer information table, determine the first lifting height of the clothes dryer. The clothes dryer information table includes: the association relationship between user information and the lifting height of the clothes dryer. According to the first lifting height, control the clothes rod of the clothes dryer to lift to the lifting position corresponding to the first lifting height; this method improves the intelligence level of the clothes dryer and enhances the user experience by combining the instruction information sent by the user with image recognition.

[0093] Figure 2 is the flow of the control method of the clothes dryer provided in this application Figure 2 . As Figure 2 shown, on the basis of the Figure 1 embodiment, the control method of the clothes dryer is described in detail. The control method of the clothes dryer shown in this embodiment includes:

[0094] S201: Obtain the family member information of the target user and the lifting height of the drying machine corresponding to each family member. The family member information includes at least one of appearance features, body type features, and voice features.

[0095] Among them, the family member information is used to indicate the information that allows the user to determine the lifting height of the drying machine, including at least one of appearance features, body type features, and voice features.

[0096] The user terminal is communicatively connected to the drying machine. The target user can enter the family member information on the user terminal. After the family member information is entered, the system will automatically recommend the lifting height of the drying machine. The user can adopt the lifting height of the drying machine recommended by the system or fill in the lifting height of the drying machine by himself.

[0097] Obtaining the family member information of the target user and the lifting height of the drying machine corresponding to each family member is to enable the drying machine to adapt different lifting heights of the drying machine to different users (that is, to achieve the purpose of self-adapting the lifting height of the drying machine), thereby enhancing the user experience of using the drying machine.

[0098] S202: Establish the drying machine information table according to the appearance features, body type features, and voice features of each family member and the lifting height of the drying machine corresponding to each family member.

[0099] It can be understood that given any one of the appearance features, body type features, and voice features of a family member, the other two features can be determined. And any one of the appearance features, body type features, and voice features can determine the corresponding user.

[0100] The appearance features, body type features, and voice features of each user can be associated with the corresponding lifting height of the drying machine in sequence, or each user can be associated with the corresponding drying machine height. Among them, there is a strong association relationship between each user and their corresponding appearance features, body type features, and voice features.

[0101] S203: Obtain the instruction information of the user.

[0102] S204: Start the image recognition program and obtain the image information in the space where the drying machine is located.

[0103] Among them, steps S203 - S204 are similar to the above steps S101 - S102 and will not be elaborated here.

[0104] S205: Perform image recognition processing on the image information to obtain a candidate user image.

[0105] Among them, the candidate user image is used to indicate the corresponding image of the user in the space where the drying machine is located.

[0106] By performing image preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification on the image information, or by matching it with the information in the clothes dryer information table, a candidate user image is determined.

[0107] There can be multiple candidate users in the candidate user image, or there can be one candidate user. When there is only one candidate user, this candidate user is the target user; when there are multiple candidate users in the candidate user image, it is necessary to screen again among the candidate users to determine one candidate user as the target user.

[0108] S206: If the candidate user image is one, then use the candidate user corresponding to the candidate user image as the target user.

[0109] When there is only one candidate user image, it means that there is only one candidate user in the space where the clothes dryer is located. At this time, the image recognition function of the clothes dryer can adopt at least one of the appearance features and body type features of the candidate user in the candidate user image, so as to match at least one of the appearance features and body type features of the candidate user in the clothes dryer information table, and determine the target user.

[0110] S207: If the candidate user images are multiple, then determine the target user according to the user behavior corresponding to each candidate user image.

[0111] When there are multiple candidate user images, it means that there are multiple candidate users in the space where the clothes dryer is located. At this time, the image recognition function of the clothes dryer needs to analyze the candidate user behavior again. It can adopt at least one of the appearance features and body type features of the candidate user in the candidate user image with the highest similarity between the user behavior and the clothes drying behavior, so as to match at least one of the appearance features and body type features of the candidate user in the clothes dryer information table, and determine the target user.

[0112] S208: Obtain the target user information corresponding to the target user.

[0113] Among them, the target user information includes: the target user, the appearance features, body type features, and voice features corresponding to the target user.

[0114] The purpose of obtaining the target user information corresponding to the target user in this step is to match the lifting height of the clothes dryer for the target user.

[0115] S209:: Determine the first lifting height of the clothes dryer according to the target user information and the clothes dryer information table.

[0116] There is an association relationship between the user information and the lifting height of the clothes dryer in the clothes dryer information table. Therefore, the user information consistent with the target user information can be found in the clothes dryer information table, and the lifting height of the clothes dryer corresponding to this user information is the first lifting height of the clothes dryer corresponding to the target user information.

[0117] S210: According to the first lifting height, control the clothes hanger of the clothes dryer to lift to the lifting position corresponding to the first lifting height.

[0118] Among them, step S210 is similar to the above step S104 and will not be elaborated here.

[0119] S211: Obtain the weather information of the area where the clothes dryer is located.

[0120] Among them, the weather information is used to indicate the temperature and humidity information of the area where the clothes dryer is located. For example: rainy and humid days.

[0121] Obtaining the weather information of the area where the clothes dryer is located is to determine whether to turn on the drying and deodorizing functions. Because rainy and humid days are likely to cause difficulties in drying clothes, resulting in odors.

[0122] S212: When the weather information indicates the first weather, generate and voice broadcast a prompt message, and the prompt message is used to prompt the user to turn on the drying and deodorizing functions.

[0123] Among them, the first weather is used to indicate the weather in which it is difficult to complete drying clothes and is likely to cause odors in the dried clothes.

[0124] It can be understood that when the weather information is the first weather, at this time, a voice broadcast prompt message needs to be generated. After the user receives the warning broadcast prompt message, the user can choose whether to turn on the drying and deodorizing functions.

[0125] S213: After receiving the voice response feedback from the target user, control the drying and deodorizing module of the clothes dryer to turn on.

[0126] When the voice response feedback from the target user is to turn on the drying and deodorizing functions, at this time, control the drying and deodorizing module of the clothes dryer to turn on, shorten the clothes drying time, and avoid odors in the dried clothes and other situations.

[0127] The control method of the clothes dryer provided in this embodiment obtains the family member information of the target user and the lifting height of the clothes dryer corresponding to each family member. The family member information includes at least one of appearance characteristics, body type characteristics, and voice characteristics. According to the appearance characteristics, body type characteristics, and voice characteristics of each family member and the lifting height of the clothes dryer corresponding to each family member, an information table of the clothes dryer is established. The instruction information of the user is obtained, an image recognition program is started, and the image information in the space where the clothes dryer is located is obtained. The image information is subjected to image recognition processing to obtain a candidate user image. If there is one candidate user image, the candidate user corresponding to the candidate user image is used as the target user. If there are multiple candidate user images, the target user is determined according to the user behavior corresponding to each candidate user image. The target user information corresponding to the target user is obtained. According to the target user information and the information table of the clothes dryer, the first lifting height of the clothes dryer is determined. According to the first lifting height, the clothes drying rod of the clothes dryer is controlled to lift to the lifting position corresponding to the first lifting height. The weather information of the area where the clothes dryer is located is obtained. When the weather information indicates the first weather, a prompt message is generated and broadcasted by voice. The prompt message is used to prompt the user to turn on the drying and deodorizing functions. After receiving the voice response feedback by the target user, the drying and deodorizing module of the clothes dryer is controlled to turn on. This method combines the instruction information sent by the user with image recognition, improves the intelligence level of the clothes dryer, and enhances the user experience.

[0128] Figure 3 is the flow of the control method of the clothes dryer provided in this application Figure 2 As Figure 3 shown, on the basis of the Figure 2 embodiment, the control method of the clothes dryer is described in detail. The control method of the clothes dryer shown in this embodiment includes:

[0129] S301: If a voice instruction is obtained within a preset time period, the voice user corresponding to the voice instruction is determined according to the voice instruction and the information table of the clothes dryer.

[0130] Among them, the start time of the preset time period is the time when the instruction information is received, and the end time of the preset time period is after the user completes the voice instruction for drying and deodorizing the clothes dryer. The preset time period is an unfixed time period, and the user's clothes drying time is the most important factor affecting the preset time period.

[0131] The voice instruction is used to indicate the control instruction of the user for the clothes dryer. The voice instruction can be, for example: "up", "down", "stop", etc.

[0132] It is understandable that after receiving a voice command, the characteristics of the voice command will be analyzed to obtain the corresponding voice characteristics of the voice command. Then, the voice characteristics can be matched in the clothes drying machine information table to determine the target voice characteristics, and the voice user corresponding to the voice command can be determined according to the target voice characteristics.

[0133] S302: If the voice user is the target user, then according to the voice command, control the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine to rise or fall at a preset speed.

[0134] Among them, the preset speed can be set by the user himself or determined by the system default. The preset speed can be a fixed value. The main reason for setting the preset speed is to avoid dangerous problems caused by the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine rising or falling too fast.

[0135] When the voice user is the target user, the voice command can be controlled to control the height of the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine. When a voice command is received, regardless of whether the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine is in a running state or not, the previous control of the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine will stop, and according to the voice command, the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine will be re-controlled to rise or fall at a preset speed.

[0136] S303: Obtain the third lifting height of the clothes drying machine.

[0137] Among them, the third lifting height is the lifting height of the clothes drying machine after the voice command is executed, and it is also the final height after the target user adjusts the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine through the voice command.

[0138] S304: According to the third lifting height, update the lifting height corresponding to the target user in the clothes drying machine information table to obtain a new clothes drying machine information table.

[0139] The third lifting height can be associated with the target user. The third lifting height can replace the lifting height of the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine corresponding to the target user in the clothes drying machine information table to obtain a new clothes drying machine information table. By continuously updating the clothes drying machine information table, the user experience of using the clothes drying machine can be improved.

[0140] S305: If the voice user is other family members, then determine the second lifting height corresponding to the family member according to the clothes drying machine information table, and control the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine to lift or lower to the lifting position corresponding to the second lifting height according to the second lifting height.

[0141] Among them, the second lifting height is used to indicate the lifting height of the clothes drying pole of the clothes drying machine corresponding to non-target users.

[0142] When the voice user is other family members, the lifting height of the corresponding clothes dryer of the user can be matched in the clothes dryer information table according to the voice characteristics of the voice user, and the clothes dryer is controlled to run to the lifting position according to the lifting height.

[0143] For the control method of the clothes dryer provided in this embodiment, if a voice command is obtained within a preset time period, the voice user corresponding to the voice command is determined according to the voice command and the clothes dryer information table. If the voice user is the target user, the clothes hanger of the clothes dryer is controlled to rise or fall at a preset speed according to the voice command, the third lifting height of the clothes dryer is obtained, and the lifting height corresponding to the target user in the clothes dryer information table is updated according to the third lifting height to obtain a new clothes dryer information table. If the voice user is other family members, the second lifting height corresponding to the family member is determined according to the clothes dryer information table, and the clothes hanger of the clothes dryer is controlled to lift to the lifting position corresponding to the second lifting height according to the second lifting height; this method improves the intelligence of the clothes dryer and enhances the user experience.
