[0037] The washing label refers to the label (usually white) on the edge of the clothes and pants that people usually buy. Generally, the words "Washing Instructions" or "Certificate of Conformity" are written at the top of the label. Then, there will be an explanation of the raw material composition of the clothes and pants, as well as patterns and written explanations about the washable and non-washable methods of the clothes and pants.

[0038] Washing label recognition refers to automatically detecting and recognizing all the washing label patterns in the picture of the clothing washing label taken, and obtaining the types of clothing washing marks, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0039] Although washing label recognition can identify the washable or non-washable methods of a certain piece of clothing, this is only one consideration in washing. For the color and material of the clothing during washing, there are two other factors that must be considered. For color, if light-colored and dark-colored clothes are washed without distinction, it is very likely to cause staining and make the clothes scrapped; for styles, certain specific categories of clothes are not suitable for washing, such as suits, silk clothes, etc.

[0040] By taking pictures of the clothing washing label to recognize the washable or non-washable methods of the clothing, distinguishing the light and dark color categories of the clothing through clothing color recognition, obtaining the information on whether the clothing can be washed or not and the information on the need to wash it separately from other types of clothing through clothing type recognition, and then integrating the relevant logics of these three types of information, automatically screening out different levels of opinions on washing a pile of clothes at the same time and actively prompting the user.

[0041] Figure 3 The flow chart of an intelligent prompting method for a washing machine provided by the present invention may include the following steps:

[0042] S310: Perform image recognition on the washing label images and clothing images of multiple pieces of clothing to be washed collected by the image acquisition device respectively, so as to obtain the washing information in the washing label image of each piece of clothing to be washed and the clothing attribute information of the clothing to be washed.

[0043] The image acquisition device can be set in a mobile terminal or on an intelligent device with a camera such as a washing machine.

[0044] An intelligent prompting method for a washing machine provided by the present application respectively performs image recognition on the washing label images and clothing images of multiple items of laundry collected by an image acquisition device to obtain the washing information in the washing label image of each item of laundry and the clothing attribute information of the item of laundry, specifically including: obtaining the clothing image and the washing label image of the item of laundry through the image acquisition device, and uploading the clothing image and the washing label image to the terminal; recognizing the washing label image through a pre-trained washing label detection model to determine the washing information of the item of laundry; the pre-trained washing label detection model is obtained by training according to a training set, and the training set is a washing label image with labels; recognizing the item of laundry image through a pre-trained clothing recognition model to obtain the clothing attribute information of the item of laundry; the pre-trained clothing recognition model is obtained by training according to a training set, and the training set is a clothing image with labels; determining the label of the item of laundry according to the washing information and the clothing attribute information, and storing the identifier of the item of laundry in the database according to the label.

[0045] Specifically, bind the developed laundry-related APP to the washing machine, and then start the washing program of the APP. It is required that each item of laundry to be washed uploads two pictures, one is a picture of the washing label, and the other is a picture of the clothing laid flat.

[0046] Using the washing label detection model, all the washing labels in the washing label picture are detected, and at the same time, each label corresponds to the description of the washing type method or non-washable type it represents. For example Figure 4a means it can be washed by water but the washing temperature cannot exceed 30 °C, while Figure 4b means it cannot be washed by water.

[0047] According to an intelligent prompting method for a washing machine provided by the present application, the washing information includes the washing type and the washing temperature; the clothing attribute information includes the clothing color and the clothing type.

[0048] Specifically, the washing information may include the washing type, the washing temperature, the washing time, the washing water level, the number of rinses, the dehydration speed, the dehydration time, etc.; the clothing attribute information may include the clothing use (such as upper garment, trousers, underwear, etc.), the clothing type (such as wool, silk, cotton and linen, denim, etc.), and the clothing color (red, white, black, etc.).

[0049] An intelligent prompting method for a washing machine provided by the present application recognizes an image of laundry to be washed through a pre-trained laundry recognition model, and obtains the laundry attribute information of the laundry to be washed, specifically including: performing region segmentation on the image of the laundry to be washed through the pre-trained laundry recognition model; obtaining the average RGB value of each segmented region, calculating the Euclidean distance between the average RGB value and the preset RGB value of the color category, and taking the category with the smallest Euclidean distance from the average RGB value as the color category corresponding to the laundry to be washed, as the laundry color.

[0050] Specifically, a laundry segmentation model or a laundry recognition model is used to segment the laundry area. For laundry color recognition, the average RGB pixel value within the laundry area is calculated, and then the Euclidean distance from the average RGB value of the laundry to the RGB value of each category is calculated. The category with the smallest Euclidean distance is taken as its corresponding color category.

[0051] Obtain the laundry features in each segmented region, output the laundry type corresponding to the maximum probability value of each segmented region according to the laundry features, and determine the laundry type to which the segmented region with the largest number belongs as the laundry type of the laundry to be washed. Or

[0052] Take the maximum circumscribed rectangle of the laundry area, cut it out, and send it into the laundry recognition model to obtain the type of the laundry.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the washing information and laundry information of the laundry to be washed are pre-stored in a database. When the target laundry to be washed selected by the user is determined, the washing information and laundry information of the selected target laundry to be washed are obtained from the database;

[0054] Specifically, when the user uploads the information of the laundry to be washed to the database, the information of the laundry can be recorded in the APP. When washing clothes next time, there is no need to take pictures and recognize again. Just select the laundry directly from the APP, and the information of the laundry can be directly queried from the database.

[0055] Each recognized piece of laundry will be labeled with a corresponding label according to the recognition result to facilitate querying the corresponding laundry according to the label. For example, if the recognized color category of the laundry is white, a white label is attached and the identifier of the laundry is recorded in the data table under the white category; if the recognized type of the laundry is wool, a wool label is attached and the identifier of the laundry is recorded in the data table under the wool category; if the recognized laundry is machine washable, a machine washable label is attached and the identifier of the laundry is recorded in the data table under the machine washable category; if the recognized washing temperature of the laundry is 30°C to 40°C, a label with the washing temperature range of 30°C to 40°C is attached and the identifier of the laundry is recorded in the data table under the category with a temperature range of 30°C to 40°C.

[0056] Tag-based storage facilitates users to screen and find clothes.

[0057] According to an intelligent prompting method for a washing machine provided by the present application, when determining the clothes to be washed selected by the user, it further includes: obtaining an image of the clothes to be washed, and querying whether there is information of the clothes to be washed in the database according to the recognized clothes attribute information; if it exists, obtaining the washing information and clothes attribute information of the clothes to be washed stored in the database; if it does not exist, identifying the washing information and clothes attribute information of the clothes to be washed through a corresponding model, and storing the washing information and clothes attribute information of the clothes to be washed in the database.

[0058] Specifically, when the user buys new clothes, since the clothes attribute information is not stored in the database, it is necessary to take a photo of the clothes for identification at this time, and store the recognized clothes attribute information and washing information in the database.

[0059] Due to a large number of clothes, when the user cannot find the clothes to be washed on the APP for a while and forgets that the image of the clothes has been uploaded, the user can identify the clothes attribute information by taking a photo of the clothes, and then match according to the recognized information in the database to query the stored clothes and return them to the user.

[0060] Through the above pre-storage in the database, the time resources and computing resources wasted by the user after each photo identification can be reduced, and multiple ways for the user to query clothes are provided, giving the user more personalized choices.

[0061] S320: Determine whether there is a laundry conflict according to the washing information in the washing label image of each piece of clothes to be washed and the clothes attribute information of the clothes to be washed. If so, give a laundry feedback according to the laundry conflict; the laundry feedback includes suggestions, reminders or warnings; determine the washing machine washing method information of each piece of clothes to be washed according to the laundry feedback.

[0062] Specifically, there are three modes of feedback in the mobile APP: suggestions, reminders, and warnings. Suggestions are a positive feedback, that is, how to wash better; reminders are a mild negative feedback, reminding the user to pay attention, such as some cashmere sweaters are easy to pill or shrink when washed with water; warnings are a strong negative feedback, close to prohibition, such as suits cannot be washed with water.

[0063] The laundry feedback can be obtained according to a single piece of clothes to be washed, or the washing information and clothes attribute information between different pieces of clothes to be washed can be compared to obtain the laundry feedback.

[0064] An intelligent prompting method for a washing machine provided by the present application determines laundry conflicts based on the washing information in the water-wash label images of each laundry item to be washed and the clothing attribute information of the laundry items to be washed, and performs laundry feedback based on the laundry conflicts, specifically including: obtaining the clothing colors of different laundry items to be washed, determining the color systems to which different clothing colors belong, and if the laundry items to be washed belong to different color systems, performing laundry feedback for clothing color conflicts; obtaining the washing types of different laundry items to be washed, determining whether there are conflicts in the washing types between the laundry items to be washed, and if so, performing laundry feedback for washing type conflicts; obtaining the washing temperature ranges of different laundry items to be washed, taking the intersection of the temperature ranges of different laundry items to be washed, and if the obtained intersection is empty, performing laundry feedback for laundry temperature conflicts; obtaining the clothing types of different laundry items to be washed, determining whether there are conflicts in the clothing types between the laundry items to be washed, and if so, performing laundry feedback for clothing type conflicts.

[0065] Specifically, if there is a non-water-washable category among the laundry items selected by the user, the user will be directly warned on the APP side, for example, by broadcasting "Warning: The current item of clothing is not suitable for water washing. It is recommended to use other methods"; if the laundry items selected by the user can be water washed but there are conflicts in the water washing temperature, for example, the washing temperature of some clothes is higher than 40°C and the water washing temperature of some clothes does not exceed 30°C, a warning prompt will be given, for example, by broadcasting "There are conflicts in the suitable water washing temperatures of the current laundry items to be washed. Among them, the water washing temperature of the shirt is not lower than 40°C, and the water washing of the woolen sweater cannot exceed 30°C. These two pieces of clothing are not very suitable for washing together. It is recommended to wash the two pieces of clothing separately"; if there are no warning-type conflicts, the next step can be carried out.

[0066] Regarding the colors of multiple laundry items selected, if the color categories conflict severely, the user will be directly warned on the APP side and a reminder prompt will be used. For example, if the first item is a black coat and the second item is a white shirt, it will be broadcast "Reminder: The color of the first piece of clothing, which is black, conflicts with the color of the second piece of clothing, which is white. It is recommended to wash the two pieces of clothing separately".

[0067] Different clothing types will also affect washing. For example, if clothing A is made of silk and the other mixed one is made of linen, the two types of clothing are not suitable for washing together. Then a warning prompt should be taken, for example, by broadcasting "Warning: The silk clothing you put in now and the linen clothing put in the previous time are not suitable for washing together. Linen is easy to break the silk. It is recommended to wash them separately".

[0068] Different clothing uses will also be considered in classification. For example, if clothing A is an outer garment and clothing B is an undergarment, obviously they are not suitable for washing together. Then a suggestion prompt can be taken, for example, by broadcasting "Suggestion: You have washed the undergarment and the outer garment together. For the sake of personal hygiene, this is not good. You can wash the undergarment and the outer garment separately".

[0069] Through the above prompt feedback, it can help users better understand the properties and status of clothes, the washing process and results, so as to better select the appropriate washing method and program. At the same time, it can also help users better manage and maintain their clothes.

[0070] According to an intelligent prompting method of a washing machine provided by the present application, obtain recommendations for clothes that can be washed together according to the labels of the clothes to be washed selected.

[0071] After obtaining the washing information and clothing attribute information of the clothes to be washed selected, search for clothes with the same labels as the labels of the clothes to be washed, and use the found clothes as recommendations for clothes suitable to be washed together with the clothes to be washed.

[0072] Specifically, according to the identified clothing types, the washable types, non-washable types, types of clothes that can be washed together, and types of other clothes that cannot be washed together of this piece of clothing can be obtained.

[0073] For example, if the result given is "The white shirt needs to be washed with water at 50 - 60 °C", then based on the labels of the clothing such as "white" and "washing temperature range of 50 - 60 °C", conduct a temperature check, and query the clothes in the clothes to be washed with a suitable water washing temperature between 50 - 60 °C; then screen out light-colored clothes according to the clothing color label; then screen out clothes of the same material as the white shirt; after a series of label screenings of the same type, give the suggestion that the currently recommended clothes can be washed together with the white shirt.

[0074] Through the above intelligent laundry recommendations, the washing efficiency can be improved, the clothes can be protected, and resources can be saved.

[0075] After the first recommendation of clothes that can be washed together according to the clothes, record the recommendation information. When it is necessary to recommend clothes that can be washed together with this piece of clothing again next time, directly retrieve the record of the first time. To avoid untimely update of the recommendation record, when adding a new piece of clothing, update the recommendation record.

[0076] Figure 5 The figure shows a flowchart of an intelligent prompting method provided by the present application.

[0077] After starting the washing program of the APP, through photographing the washing label for washing label recognition, obtain the washing types and methods of the clothes and non-washable types, etc.; through photographing the clothes for clothing recognition, after segmenting the clothing image, recognize the clothing color and clothing type, and after comparing with the clothing types in the database, obtain the washing types and methods, non-washable types, types of other clothes that can be washed together, types of other clothes that cannot be washed together, etc., and give active prompts to the user based on the above recognition results to help the user achieve intelligent laundry.

[0078] After the user finishes classifying the clothes, the washing mode can be automatically determined according to the information parameters of the clothes to be washed.

[0079] Specifically, after determining the clothes to be washed that will ultimately be washed together, obtain the color system to which they belong, and choose whether to add a color fixative. If it is white, do not add a color fixative. If it is colored, you can choose to add a color fixative; select the washing method according to the type of clothing.
