DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art 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.

[0019] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] First, the existing shoe cabinet is described.

[0021] Here we will first introduce the wear and tear of the shoes on the feet during walking. The wear and tear of normal feet is not located in the center of the sole but on the outside. When a normal person walks, the heel must touch the ground first, and then the center of gravity of the whole body "rolls" forward on the sole of the foot, gradually from the heel to the sole and then to the toes. Then you lift your foot, the heel leaves the ground first, and gradually transitions to the toes, and you take a step forward. In this walking process, the friction force on the back and outside of the heel is relatively large. So if a person is in good health and has the correct walking posture, then the sole of his shoes should be worn from the back and outside first, and about 1 / 3 of the outer upper edge of the heel should be worn. The part of the sole of the foot that is worn is the corresponding area from the little toe to the big toe. If this is not the case, then it means that the person has a problem with his walking posture, which may be a habit problem or a disease.

[0022] Existing shoe care cabinets only have simple processing functions such as drying, sterilization and fumigation, and cannot detect the wear of shoes. The wear of shoes is often related to people's walking posture. If the soles are worn out very badly, we have to determine whether there is a problem with the bones and muscles. The reasons for the wear of the soles are not the same. Because there are no immediate symptoms of discomfort, most people tend to ignore it. However, walking with an abnormal gait for a long time will cause the bones to repeatedly act in an incorrect arrangement position, resulting in increased joint pressure, aggravated joint wear, and increased probability of joint degeneration and joint deformation, which may even occur earlier, affecting daily life and mobility.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in order to solve the problem that people lack knowledge and attention about the impact of walking posture on physical health, which easily leads to increased leg joint pressure and aggravated joint wear, the shoe cabinet of the present invention includes: an image acquisition unit, used to acquire image information of shoes; an information sending unit, used to send information to the user; a controller, which is communicatively connected with the image acquisition unit and the information sending unit; and a control method for the shoe cabinet includes: S1. Control the image acquisition unit to acquire image information of shoes.

[0024] S2. Obtaining shoe wear information based on the image information.

[0025] S3. Obtain the user's foot health information based on the wear information.

[0026] S4. Control the information sending unit to send the user's foot health information to the user.

[0027] In the above steps, step S3 further comprises: S31. If the inner side of the sole is worn too much, the user may have flat feet, hallux valgus, or a collapsed arch.

[0028] S32. If the outer side of the sole is worn too much, the user may have high arches or outward feet.

[0029] S33. If the left and right sides of the sole are worn asymmetrically, the user may have a crooked body or have uneven feet.

[0030] S34. If the middle of the sole is worn too much, the user may have flat feet.

[0031] In the case of adopting the above embodiment, in the first step, the image acquisition device can be a camera, which is arranged inside the shoe cabinet, and the camera is connected to the controller of the shoe cabinet in communication, so that the controller can control the camera to obtain the image information of the shoes in the shoe cabinet. In the second step, after obtaining the image information of the shoes, the controller can obtain the wear information of the current shoes by comparing the image information of the shoes with the image information of normal shoes in the database. In the third step, the corresponding foot health information is obtained in the database according to the wear information of the current shoes. Specifically, if the inner side of the sole is worn too much, the user has flat feet or hallux valgus or arch collapse; if the outer side of the sole is worn too much, the user may have high arches or outward feet; if the left and right sides of the sole are worn asymmetrically, the user may have a crooked body or long and short feet; if the middle of the sole is worn too much, the user may have flat feet. The fourth step is to send the user's foot health information to the user through the information sending unit after obtaining the user's foot health information, wherein the information sending unit can send the foot health information to the user's mobile terminal via text message, so that the user can promptly understand the problems with his or her feet and receive timely treatment, thereby solving the problem of people's insufficient awareness and insufficient attention to the impact of walking posture on physical health, which can easily lead to increased pressure on leg joints and increased joint wear.

[0032] Refer to the following Figure 3 , a second implementation of the control method for a shoe cabinet of the present invention is introduced.

[0033] The shoe cabinet of the present invention is a smart interconnected device. In addition to being able to detect the user's foot health information according to the wear of the shoes, the shoe cabinet also includes a weather information acquisition unit. The weather information acquisition unit can acquire weather information in real time. The weather information acquisition unit is communicatively connected with the controller. The control method for the shoe cabinet includes: S5, controlling the weather information acquisition unit to acquire weather information; S6. Obtain information about shoes suitable for traveling according to weather information; S7. Control the information sending unit to send information about shoes suitable for traveling to the user.

[0034] In the case of adopting the above-mentioned implementation mode, the shoe cabinet of the present invention can detect outdoor weather information in real time, and obtain information about shoes suitable for traveling based on the weather information. When the user opens the shoe cabinet door, the control information sending unit pushes the information about shoes suitable for traveling to the user in the form of text messages, or directly sets a display screen on the shoe cabinet, and sends the information about shoes suitable for traveling to the user through the display screen, thereby facilitating the process of selecting shoes when traveling, and making the shoes selected by the user more suitable for the external weather conditions at this time. For example, when the weather information acquisition unit obtains that the probability of raining today is high, it can recommend the user to wear dark-colored shoes or shoes with good waterproof performance when traveling, so as to avoid the situation where the user wears light-colored shoes and suddenly encounters extreme weather such as wind and rain outside after going out, making the light-colored shoes obviously dirty or even water entering the shoes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0035] Furthermore, in a third embodiment of the present invention, a control method for a shoe cabinet includes: S5, controlling the weather information acquisition unit to acquire weather information; S8. If the weather is rainy or snowy, dry the shoes first and then clean them.

[0036] As mentioned above, if the weather information acquisition unit obtains that today's trip may encounter extreme weather such as wind and rain, darker shoes or shoes with better waterproof properties can be selected to improve the user experience. However, even if the user chooses to wear darker shoes or shoes with better waterproof properties according to the recommendation, the shoes will inevitably be stained with rainwater after returning home. At this time, if the shoes are directly cleaned, they may not be cleaned properly. Therefore, this embodiment is proposed. In the case of adopting this embodiment, after the user puts the shoes wetted by rainwater into the shoe cabinet of the present invention, the shoe cabinet can first dry the shoes to dry the muddy water on the shoes, and then clean and sterilize the shoes after the shoes are dried, so that the shoes are easier to clean and the cleaning efficiency of the shoes is improved.

[0037] It is also worth mentioning that in a preferred embodiment, the smart shoe cabinet of the present invention can also be interconnected with a shoe washing machine. When the shoe cabinet finds that there are still stubborn stains on the shoes that cannot be removed after routine cleaning of the shoes, the shoe cabinet can send the stubborn stain information of the shoes to the shoe washing machine via the Internet, and notify the user to put the shoes into the shoe washing machine for a more comprehensive and thorough cleaning, thereby thoroughly cleaning the shoes and avoiding the situation where the stains on the shoes are not cleaned thoroughly.

[0038] Furthermore, as life is gradually improved, people have more and more demands for different types of shoes, including shoes for different occasions, different seasons, and different age groups, men and women in the family. The storage and maintenance of so many shoes is also a problem that needs to be solved. Therefore, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the shoe cabinet of the present invention is provided with multiple storage layers, and the multiple storage layers are independently provided. Each storage layer has a server unit, which can be assembled and separated separately like building blocks. Users can choose to assemble independently according to their own different living environments, so that the shoe cabinet can adapt to different spaces. When a storage layer is inserted into the smart shoe cabinet body, it will automatically connect to the server unit. In this way, the smart shoe cabinet composed of multiple shoe cabinets is both a whole and can be set up and managed separately. The shoe cabinet also includes a height measurement unit. The control method for the shoe cabinet includes: S9, controlling the height measurement unit to obtain the height information of the user; S10, controlling the cabinet door of the storage layer of appropriate height to open according to the height information.

[0039] In the case of adopting the above embodiment, the user can adjust the number of storage layers of the shoe cabinet of the present invention according to actual needs. For example, if there are three people in the family, including parents and children, the number of storage layers can be set to three. In this way, each family member can put his or her own shoes on a storage layer, and at the same time, the parents' shoes can be placed in the upper storage layer, and the children's shoes can be placed in the lower storage layer for easy access. When the user needs to take or put shoes, the controller can control the height measurement unit (such as a camera) of the shoe cabinet to obtain the user's height information, and then compare the obtained height information with the pre-stored user's height information. After the comparison is completed, the corresponding storage layer can be opened. Thus, the shoe cabinet of the present invention can open the storage layer of appropriate height according to the user's height, making it more convenient for the user to take or put shoes, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0040] In addition, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned classification method of shoes in different storage layers is merely an exemplary description and not the only implementation method. Those skilled in the art may also place different types of shoes in different storage layers. For example, in order to facilitate the care of the shoes, the first storage layer may be configured to be dried before cleaning and used to store shoes after traveling on rainy or snowy days, the second storage layer may be configured as an incense storage layer, the third storage layer may be configured as a shoe polish care layer for leather shoes, and so on. These common shoe care methods may be set in different storage layers, and these changes do not exceed the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Generally speaking, the shoe cabinet can be placed indoors, or it can be placed outside the house to save space indoors, but placing it outside the house may pose certain safety risks. This embodiment is proposed to solve this problem. In a fifth embodiment of the present invention, the shoe cabinet further includes a door lock unit and an alarm device, the alarm device is communicatively connected with the door lock unit and the controller, the door lock unit can be a fingerprint lock, a voiceprint lock, or a facial recognition lock, etc., and the control method for the shoe cabinet includes: SA, control the door lock unit to obtain the user's unlocking information; SB, determining whether the unlocking information is consistent with the preset unlocking information; SC. If the unlocking information is inconsistent with the preset unlocking information, the alarm device is controlled to sound an alarm.

[0042] When adopting the above-mentioned embodiment, before opening the shoe cabinet of the present invention, the user needs to enter the unlocking information first. After the door lock unit obtains the user's unlocking information, it determines whether the unlocking information is consistent with the preset unlocking information. If the unlocking information is consistent with the preset unlocking information, the shoe cabinet is unlocked normally. If the unlocking information is inconsistent with the preset unlocking information, the alarm device is controlled to send an alarm message, wherein the alarm message can be a ringing alarm bell, or it can be a photo of the person who is unlocking the door through a camera and sent to the user, so that the user's property safety can be guaranteed when the shoe cabinet is placed outdoors.

[0043] In addition, the present invention also provides a shoe cabinet, which is provided with multiple storage layers, and the multiple storage layers are independently arranged. The shoe cabinet includes: an image acquisition unit, used to acquire image information of shoes; a weather information acquisition unit, used to acquire weather information; a height measurement unit, used to acquire the height information of the user; an information sending unit, used to send information to the user; a door lock unit and an alarm device; a controller, which is communicated with the image acquisition unit, the weather information acquisition unit, the height measurement unit, the information sending unit, the communication connection and the alarm device, and can execute the control method of any one of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0044] It should be noted that the above-mentioned implementation mode is only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above-mentioned structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0045] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above-mentioned shoe cabinet also includes some other well-known structures, such as processors, memories, etc., wherein the memories include but are not limited to random access memory, flash memory, read-only memory, programmable read-only memory, volatile memory, non-volatile memory, serial memory, parallel memory or registers, etc., and the processors include but are not limited to CPLD / FPGA, DSP, ARM processor, MIPS processor, etc. In order to unnecessarily obscure the embodiments of the present disclosure, these well-known structures are not shown in the drawings.

[0046] 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.
