Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of smart home, and specifically provides a control method and a wardrobe for a wardrobe. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more smart home products bring convenience to users' lives. As a new intelligent product, the smart wardrobe has also been recognized by users and entered people's lives.

[0003] Since the user's body shape may change due to various reasons and the user is not easily aware of it, it often happens that when the user is about to wear clothes, they find that there are no suitable clothes to wear. The existing wardrobes cannot update clothes in time to meet the user's wearing needs, resulting in a poor experience.

[0004] Correspondingly, there is a need in the art for a new control method and wardrobe for a wardrobe to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above technical problems, that is, to solve the problem that the wardrobe in the prior art cannot update clothes in time to meet the user's wearing needs.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a control method for a wardrobe, the control method comprising: obtaining current feature information capable of characterizing the user's body shape; judging whether the user's body shape has changed based on the current feature information and pre-stored feature information; and in the case where the judgment result is that a change has occurred, sending a reminder message to remind the user to update clothes.

[0007] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, by obtaining the current feature information to judge whether the user's body shape has changed, and when the user's body shape changes, reminding the user to update clothes in time, it avoids the problem that the user cannot find suitable clothes when they are about to wear clothes and need to buy them immediately, which affects the user's wearing needs, and improves the experience.

[0008] In a specific embodiment of the above control method for a wardrobe, after the step of "judging whether the user's body shape has changed", the control method further comprises: retrieving the size comparison information of the clothes in the pre-stored wardrobe; judging whether the clothes can be worn based on the current feature information and the size comparison information; the step of "in the case where the judgment result is that a change has occurred, sending a reminder message" further comprises: in the case where the judgment result is that a change has occurred and the clothes cannot be worn, sending a reminder message.

[0009] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, on the basis of judging whether the user's body shape has changed, it is also judged whether the clothes in the wardrobe can be worn according to the size comparison information. In the case where the body shape has changed and the clothes cannot be worn, the user is reminded to update the clothes, which improves the accuracy of the judgment and further improves the experience.

[0010] In the specific implementation manner of the above wardrobe control method, the step of "judging whether the clothes in the wardrobe can be worn based on the current feature information and the size comparison information" further includes: if any information value of the current feature information does not fall within the corresponding information value range of the size comparison information of any piece of the clothes, it is determined that the clothes cannot be worn; wherein, the feature information is the numerical information of the human body external dimension, and each item of the size comparison information is the range numerical information.

[0011] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, since the feature information is the numerical information of the human body external dimension and the size comparison information of the clothes is the range numerical value of the human body external dimension of the person who can wear this piece of clothes, in the case where any information value of the current feature information does not fall within the corresponding information value range of the size comparison information of any piece of the clothes, it means that there is no clothes in the wardrobe that can be worn.

[0012] In the specific implementation manner of the above wardrobe control method, the step of "judging whether the clothes in the wardrobe can be worn based on the current feature information and the size comparison information" further includes: if the information values of each item of the current feature information fall within the corresponding information value range of the size comparison information of at least one piece of the clothes, it is determined that the clothes can be worn; wherein, the feature information is the numerical information of the human body external dimension, and each item of the size comparison information is the range numerical information.

[0013] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, in the case where the information values of each item of the current feature information fall within the corresponding information value range of the size comparison information of at least one piece of clothes, it means that there are clothes in the wardrobe that can be worn.

[0014] In the specific implementation manner of the above wardrobe control method, the feature information is numerical information; the step of "judging whether the user's body shape has changed based on the current feature information and the pre-stored feature information" further includes: calculating the absolute value of the difference between the numerical value of each item of the current feature information and the corresponding information numerical value of the pre-stored feature information, denoted as the change value; comparing the size relationship between the change value and the set value; and judging whether the user's body shape has changed according to the comparison result.

[0015] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the set value is the pre-stored upper limit of change. By comparing the magnitude relationship between the change value and the set value, it is determined whether the user's body shape has changed.

[0016] In the specific implementation manner of the above wardrobe control method, the step of "judging whether the user's body shape has changed according to the comparison result" further includes: if the change value is greater than the set value, it is determined that the user's body shape has changed; and / or if the change value is less than or equal to the set value, it is determined that the user's body shape has not changed.

[0017] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, if the change value is greater than the set value, the user's body shape changes greatly, and it is determined that the user's body shape has changed; if the change value is less than or equal to the set value, the user's body shape changes slightly, and it is determined that the user's body shape has not changed.

[0018] In the specific implementation manner of the above wardrobe control method, the "current feature information" is obtained based on the following method: obtaining the user's image information; obtaining the current feature information according to the image information.

[0019] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, by obtaining the user's image information and analyzing and processing the image information, the information content of the current feature information is obtained.

[0020] In the specific implementation manner of the above wardrobe control method, the step of "obtaining the current feature information that can represent the user's body shape" further includes: obtaining the current feature information that can represent the user's body shape in the early stage of the season change; the step of "retrieving the pre-stored size comparison information of the clothes in the wardrobe" further includes: retrieving the pre-stored size comparison information of the clothes for the next season in the wardrobe; the step of "judging whether the clothes in the wardrobe can be worn based on the current feature information and the size comparison information" further includes: judging whether the clothes for the next season in the wardrobe can be worn based on the current feature information and the size comparison information.

[0021] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, since it is most likely to have no clothes to wear during the season change period, judging whether the clothes for the next season can be worn in the early stage of the season change can start preparing for updating clothes for the season change a period of time in advance, with more time available. In addition, judging the clothes for the next season also provides a more accurate direction for the user to update clothes.

[0022] In the specific implementation manner of the above wardrobe control method, before the step of "acquiring current feature information that can characterize the user's body shape in the early stage of the season change", the control method further includes: acquiring the current date; acquiring the geographical location where the wardrobe is located; acquiring the pre-stored time period corresponding to the geographical location in the early stage of the season change according to the geographical location; and if the current date falls within the time period in the early stage of the season change, determining that it is currently the early stage of the season change.

[0023] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, since the season change times in different regions are different, when determining whether it is the early stage of the season change, the current date and the geographical location are combined for judgment, and the obtained judgment result is more accurate.

[0024] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a wardrobe, which includes: a processor; a memory, the memory being adapted to store multiple program codes, and the program codes being adapted to be loaded and run by the processor to execute the wardrobe control method.

A module may include a hardware circuit, various appropriate sensors, communication ports, a memory, and may also include a software part, such as program code, or may be a combination of software and hardware. A processor may be a central processing unit, a microprocessor, a digital signal processor, or any other suitable processor. The processor has data and / or signal processing functions. The processor may be implemented in software, in hardware, or in a combination of both. The term "A and / or B" represents all possible combinations of A and B, such as only A, only B, or A and B. Ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, although the steps of the control method of the present invention are described in a specific order in this application, these orders are not restrictive. Without departing from the basic principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can execute the steps in a different order.

[0032] Based on the problem pointed out in the background art that the existing wardrobe cannot update clothes in time to meet the wearing needs of users, the present invention provides a control method and a wardrobe for a wardrobe, aiming to timely remind users to update their clothes when the user's body shape changes, avoiding the problem that users cannot find suitable clothes when they are about to wear them and need to buy them immediately, which affects the user's wearing needs, and improving the experience.

[0033] The wardrobe of the present invention includes a processor and a memory. The memory is adapted to store multiple program codes, and the program codes are adapted to be loaded and run by the processor to execute the control method of the wardrobe. The processor may be a central processing unit, or other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors, application-specific integrated circuits, field-programmable gate arrays, or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional processor, etc. The memory may be an internal storage unit of the wardrobe, such as a hard disk or memory, etc.; the memory may also be an external storage device of the wardrobe, for example, a plug-in hard disk, a smart memory card, a secure digital card, a flash card, etc. equipped on the wardrobe; the memory may also include both an internal storage unit and an external storage unit of the wardrobe. The wardrobe may include multiple memories and multiple processors. Each processor executes different steps respectively. The multiple processors may be processors deployed on the same device or processors deployed on different devices. For example, the multiple processors may be a processor on the wardrobe and a processor on the cloud server respectively.

[0034] First, refer to Figure 1, the figure shows the main step flow of the control method of the wardrobe of the present invention, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0035] Step S100: Obtain the current feature information that can characterize the user's body shape.

[0036] Step S101: Based on the current feature information and the pre-stored feature information, determine whether the user's body shape has changed.

[0037] Step S102: In the case where the judgment result is that there is a change, send a reminder message to remind the user to update the clothes.

[0038] The control method of the present invention can timely remind the user to update the clothes when the user's body shape changes, avoiding the problem that the user cannot find suitable clothes when about to wear them and needs to buy them immediately, which affects the user's wearing needs, and improves the experience.

[0039] It should be noted that the "current feature information" and the "pre-stored feature information" can be one or more kinds of information that can characterize the user's body shape, such as the user's outer contour image information, outer dimension information, weight information, etc. Specifically, it can be determined whether the user's body shape has changed by comparing the change magnitude between the current feature information and the pre-stored feature information.

[0040] In addition, the "pre-stored feature information" is the feature information stored when the user's body shape changed last time. In the case where the judgment result of whether the user's body shape has changed each time is that there is a change, the current feature information content is updated to the pre-stored feature information content for the next judgment.

[0041] Furthermore, the time for judging whether the user's body shape has changed can be a specific time period, such as the pre-season period, or a fixed time interval frequency, such as judging once every month, or other times. Those skilled in the art can adjust according to needs, and all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] Specifically, the form of the reminder information may include, but is not limited to, voice-type information, text-type information, light-type information, etc.; the entity that issues the reminder information may include, but is not limited to, clothing treatment devices and terminal devices, etc.; the specific reminder method may be any combination of the above reminder forms and reminder entities, as long as it can achieve the effect of reminding the user. Those skilled in the art can select according to the specific needs in actual applications, and no specific limitation is made here. Among them, for voice-type information, the reminder information can be sent to the user by means of voice broadcast or the user can be reminded by means of a beeping prompt tone; for text-type information, the reminder information can be sent to the user by means of a pop-up floating window or scrolling playback; for light-type information, it can be a lighting method that stays on for a long time or lights up intermittently. The settings of the above reminder methods are only for illustrative purposes, and can be selected according to actual needs in actual applications.

[0043] Refer to the following Figure 2 , which shows the detailed step flow of the first implementation manner of the control method of the wardrobe of the present invention, specifically including the following steps:

[0044] Step S200: Obtain the image information of the user.

[0045] Step S201: Obtain the current feature information according to the image information.

[0046] Step S202: Calculate the absolute value of the difference between the numerical value of each item of information of the current feature information and the numerical value of the corresponding information of the pre-stored feature information, and record it as the change value.

[0047] Step S203: Determine whether the change value is greater than the set value. If the judgment result is yes, execute step S204; if the judgment result is no, execute step S205.

[0048] Step S204: Determine that the user's body shape has changed. After step S204, execute step S206.

[0049] Step S205: Determine that the user's body shape has not changed.

[0050] Step S206: Retrieve the size comparison information of the clothes in the pre-stored wardrobe.

[0051] Step S207: Determine whether the numerical values of each item of information of the current feature information fall within the range of the corresponding information numerical values of the size comparison information of at least one piece of clothing. If the judgment result is yes, execute step S208; if the judgment result is no, execute step S209.

[0052] Step S208: Determine that the clothes can be worn.

[0053] Step S209: Determine that the clothing cannot be worn. After step S209, step S210 is executed.

[0054] Step S210: Send a reminder message.

[0055] Among them, the current feature information and the pre-stored feature information in this embodiment are human body shape size numerical information, the size comparison information is the range numerical value of the human body shape size of the person who can wear this piece of clothing, and the shape size information may include, but is not limited to, one or more of height, shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, arm length, and leg length; in addition, the current feature information and the pre-stored feature information may also be weight information, the size comparison information is the range numerical value of the weight corresponding to the person who can wear this piece of clothing, and the control method is the same as the control method described above Figure 2 described; furthermore, the current feature information and the pre-stored feature information may also be the human body contour image information, the size comparison information is the shadow range area composed of the superimposed different contour images of the person who can wear this piece of clothing, and when making a judgment, if the contour image of the current feature information falls within the shadow range area of the size comparison information, it is determined that the clothing can be worn, otherwise it is determined that the clothing cannot be worn.

[0056] Possibly, the image information is obtained by an image acquisition device installed on the wardrobe or on the mirror. The image acquisition device may be a camera or a camera, etc. The processor calculates the obtained image information through an image recognition algorithm to obtain the numerical values of the various information of the current feature information; among them, the image recognition algorithm may be the SIFT scale-invariant feature transformation algorithm, the ORB image feature extraction algorithm, the FAST corner detection algorithm, and the CNN convolutional neural network.

[0057] It should be noted that when judging whether the clothes in the wardrobe can be worn, it can be judged whether all the clothes in the wardrobe can be worn, or some clothes in the wardrobe can be selected for judgment, such as judging the clothes for the next season in the wardrobe, or judging the clothes of a certain style in the wardrobe, or judging the clothes of a certain type in the wardrobe, so as to provide targeted update suggestions for the user; among them, the clothing style may be casual wear, business wear, sportswear, etc., and the clothing type may be upper clothes, lower clothes, coats, etc. Correspondingly, in step S210, the reminder message sent is used to remind the user to update the clothes that cannot be worn. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to needs, and these adjustments do not deviate from the principle of the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0058] Exemplarily, taking the feature information as one item and the waist circumference information as an example, the currently obtained feature information is a waist circumference of 90 cm, the pre-stored feature information is a waist circumference of 85 cm, the change value is 5 cm, the set value is 3 cm, and since the change value is greater than the set value, it is determined that the user's body shape has changed; taking the example of only judging one piece of clothing in the wardrobe, the waist circumference value in the size comparison information of this piece of clothing is 84 - 88 cm, and since the current feature information of 90 cm does not fall within the range of 84 - 88 cm, this piece of clothing cannot be worn. In the actual judgment process, for the comparison of multiple feature information, the above judgment process is repeated. If the change value of one piece of information is greater than the set value, it is determined that the user's body shape has changed; for the judgment of multiple pieces of clothing, the above judgment process is repeated. If each piece of clothing cannot be worn, it is determined that the clothing cannot be worn, or when it is set that less than a certain number of pieces of clothing can be worn, it is determined that the clothing cannot be worn.

[0059] Finally, refer to Figure 3 , which shows the detailed step - by - step process of the second implementation manner of the wardrobe control method of the present invention, specifically including the following steps:

[0060] Step S300: Obtain the current date.

[0061] Step S301: Obtain the geographical location where the wardrobe is located.

[0062] Step S302: Obtain the pre - stored pre - season period corresponding to this geographical location according to the geographical location.

[0063] Step S303: Determine whether the current date falls within the pre - season period. If the judgment result is yes, execute Step S304; if the judgment result is no, execute Step S305.

[0064] Step S304: Determine that it is currently the pre - season. After Step S304, execute Step S306.

[0065] Step S305: Determine that it is not currently the pre - season.

[0066] Step S306: Obtain the image information of the user.

[0067] Step S307: Obtain the current feature information according to the image information.

[0068] Step S308: Calculate the absolute value of the difference between the numerical value of each item of the current feature information and the corresponding numerical value of the pre - stored feature information, and record it as the change value.

[0069] Step S309: Determine whether the change value is greater than the set value. If the judgment result is yes, execute Step S310; if the judgment result is no, execute Step S311.

[0070] Step S310: Determine whether the user's body shape has changed. After step S310, execute step S312.

[0071] Step S311: Determine that the user's body shape has not changed.

[0072] Step S312: Retrieve the size comparison information of the next season's clothing stored in the wardrobe.

[0073] Step S313: Determine whether the values ​​of each item of the current feature information fall within the corresponding value range of the size comparison information of at least one item of clothing for the next season. If the determination result is yes, execute step S314; if the determination result is no, execute step S315.

[0074] Step S314: Determine whether the clothing of the next season can be worn.

[0075] Step S315: Determine that the clothing of the next season cannot be worn. After step S315, execute step S316.

[0076] Step S316: Send a reminder message.

[0077] Among them, in step S316, the reminder message sent is used to remind the user to update the clothes for the next season.

[0078] Since the seasons change at different times in different regions, when judging whether it is the early stage of the season change, the current date and geographical location are combined to make a more accurate judgment. Since it is most likely that there is nothing to wear during the season change period, judging whether the clothes of the next season can be worn in the early stage of the season change can start preparing for the season change and update clothes in advance, which gives users more time. In addition, judging the clothes of the next season also provides users with a more accurate direction for updating clothes.

[0079] For example, if the current date obtained is February 20, the geographical location is Qingdao, and the pre-stored spring season-change pre-time period corresponding to Qingdao is February 15 to March 5, then the current date falls within the pre-season-change time period, and it is determined that it is now the pre-season-change period. Since the current date is winter and the next season is spring, it is determined whether the spring clothes in the closet can be worn. When the judgment result is that they cannot be worn, the user is reminded to update the spring clothes.

[0080] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that although the above Figure 3 What is described is the judgment of whether the clothes of the next season in the wardrobe can be worn before the season change, but this is not restrictive, and the judgment can also be made at any other time, all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0081] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above embodiments so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0082] So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
