[0034] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship of objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B these three relationships.

[0035] The term "correspond to" can refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. A corresponding to B means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, intelligent household appliances refer to household appliances formed after introducing microprocessors, sensor technologies, and network communication technologies into household appliances, which have the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception, and intelligent applications. The operation process of intelligent household appliances often depends on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, intelligent household appliances can be connected to electronic devices to realize remote control and management of intelligent household appliances by users.

[0037] In the disclosed embodiments, a terminal device refers to an electronic device with wireless connection capabilities. The terminal device can communicate with the intelligent home appliance device as described above by connecting to the Internet, or can directly communicate with the intelligent home appliance device by means of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), etc. In some embodiments, the terminal device is, for example, a mobile device, a computer, or an in-vehicle device built into a hover car, etc., or any combination thereof. The mobile device can, for example, include a mobile phone, a smart home device, a wearable device, a smart mobile device, a virtual reality device, etc., or any combination thereof. Among them, the wearable device can, for example, include a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, etc.

[0038] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the disclosed embodiments provide a self-cleaning reminder method for a refrigerator, including:

[0039] S01, the processor associates the non-network refrigerator with the terminal device and determines the statistical start time.

[0040] In this step, when the processor associates the non-network refrigerator with the terminal device, it can associate the non-network refrigerator with the application program configured on the terminal device. The processor associates the non-network refrigerator with the terminal device and determines the statistical start time, including: the processor determines the association time between the non-network refrigerator and the terminal device as the statistical start time.

[0041] S02, based on the statistical start time, the processor counts the current number of times the network refrigerator associated with the terminal device is opened and closed. In this step, the network refrigerator associated with the terminal device can communicate with the terminal device.

[0042] S03, the processor determines the remaining number of times the non-network refrigerator is opened and closed according to the current number of times it is opened and closed.

[0043] S04, based on the remaining number of times the refrigerator is opened and closed, the processor pushes a reminder message to prompt the execution of the self-cleaning operation of the non-network refrigerator.

[0044] By using the self - cleaning reminder method for refrigerators provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, since non - networked refrigerators are not connected to the network, it is impossible to know the usage situation of non - networked refrigerators. For users of refrigerators, whether it is a networked refrigerator or a non - networked refrigerator, the user's refrigerator usage habits are the same. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the non - networked refrigerator is associated with the terminal device to determine the statistical start time, and then, based on the statistical start time, the current number of times the networked refrigerator's door is opened and closed is counted. Then, the remaining number of times the non - networked refrigerator's door is opened and closed is determined according to the current number of times the door is opened and closed. Finally, reminder information is pushed according to the remaining number of times the door is opened and closed to prompt the execution of the self - cleaning operation of the non - networked refrigerator. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can indirectly know the usage situation of the non - networked refrigerator by means of the usage situation of the networked refrigerator associated with the terminal device, so as to realize the self - cleaning reminder of the non - networked refrigerator.

[0045] Optionally, the processor counts the current number of times the door of the networked refrigerator associated with the terminal device based on the statistical start time, including:

[0046] The processor determines the regional information of the area where the user's residential address is located. Among them, the regional information represents the 34 first - level administrative regions currently existing in China.

[0047] The processor counts the number of times each networked refrigerator in the regional information opens and closes its door based on the statistical start time.

[0048] The processor takes the average value of the total number of times each networked refrigerator in the regional information opens and closes its door as the current total number of times the door of the networked refrigerator associated with the terminal device is opened and closed.

[0049] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can measure the current total number of times the door of the networked refrigerator associated with the terminal device by taking the average value of the total number of times each networked refrigerator in the regional information of the address where the user's residential address is located opens and closes its door, and can measure the usage situation of the non - networked refrigerator by the usage situation of all generally - connected networked refrigerators, improving the accuracy of calculating the current total number of times the door is opened and closed.

[0050] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 The processor counts the current number of times the door of the networked refrigerator associated with the terminal device based on the statistical start time, including:

[0051] S11, the processor takes the statistical start time as the reference time to determine the first door - opening and closing rate on weekdays and the second door - opening and closing rate on non - weekdays for the networked refrigerator. Among them, the door - opening and closing rate represents the door - opening and closing rate per hour. The door - opening and closing rate includes the first door - opening and closing rate or the second door - opening and closing rate.

[0052] S12, the processor obtains the first weekly door - opening and closing times on weekdays according to the first door - opening and closing rate.

[0053] S13, the processor obtains the second weekly door opening / closing times on non - working days per week according to the second door opening / closing rate.

[0054] S14, the processor calculates the sum of the first weekly door opening / closing times and the second weekly door opening / closing times, and counts the current door opening / closing times of the networked refrigerator.

[0055] In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure starts the statistical operation of the door opening / closing times of the networked refrigerator with the statistical start time as the reference time. Since users have shorter home - staying time during working days and longer home - staying time during non - working days, the embodiment of the present disclosure first determines the first door opening / closing rate on working days and the second door opening / closing rate on non - working days of the networked refrigerator respectively. The weekly door opening / closing times obtained with a week as the statistical period can more accurately reflect the refrigerator usage of users within the statistical period. Therefore, after obtaining the first weekly door opening / closing times and the second weekly door opening / closing times, the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains the first weekly door opening / closing times on working days per week according to the first door opening / closing rate and obtains the second weekly door opening / closing times on non - working days per week according to the second door opening / closing rate. Finally, it calculates the sum of the first weekly door opening / closing times and the second weekly door opening / closing times to count the current door opening / closing times of the networked refrigerator.

[0056] Optionally, the processor obtains the first weekly door opening / closing times on working days per week according to the first door opening / closing rate, including:

[0057] The processor obtains the first weekly home - staying duration and the first number of home - staying days of the user on working days per week. Here, working days refer to Monday to Friday.

[0058] The processor multiplies the first weekly home - staying duration by the first number of home - staying days and the first door opening / closing rate to obtain the first weekly door opening / closing times on working days per week.

[0059] In this way, after the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains the first weekly home - staying duration and the first number of home - staying days of the user on working days per week, multiplying the first weekly home - staying duration and the first number of home - staying days by the first door opening / closing rate can determine the first weekly door opening / closing times on working days per week, and can accurately calculate the weekly door opening / closing times corresponding to the user's working days.

[0060] Optionally, the processor obtains the first weekly home - staying duration and the first number of home - staying days of the user on working days per week, which can be setting the first weekly home - staying duration and the first number of home - staying days of the user on working days per week through the terminal device. As an example, the first weekly home - staying duration is 15 hours and the first number of home - staying days is 5 days.

[0061] Optionally, the processor obtains the second weekly door opening / closing times on non - working days per week according to the second door opening / closing rate, including:

[0062] The processor obtains the second home stay duration and the second number of home stay days of the user on non-working days per week. Here, non-working days refer to Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays.

[0063] The processor multiplies the second home stay duration by the second number of home stay days and the second door opening / closing rate to obtain the weekly door opening / closing times on non-working days.

[0064] In this way, after the embodiments of the present disclosure obtain the second home stay duration and the second number of home stay days of the user on non-working days per week, multiplying the second home stay duration and the second number of home stay days by the second door opening / closing rate can determine the second weekly door opening / closing times on non-working days, and can accurately calculate the weekly door opening / closing times corresponding to the non-working days of the user.

[0065] Optionally, the processor determines the remaining door opening / closing times of the non-network refrigerator according to the current door opening / closing times, including:

[0066] The processor obtains the upper limit threshold of the number of times. Among them, the upper limit threshold of the number of times can be set through the terminal device. As an example, the order of magnitude of the upper limit threshold of the number of times is 10 3 . Preferably, the upper limit threshold of the number of times is greater than or equal to 10 3 and less than 10 4 .

[0067] The processor subtracts the current total number of door opening / closing times from the upper limit threshold of the number of times to obtain the remaining door opening / closing times of the non-network refrigerator. The current total number of door opening / closing times is the sum of the current door opening / closing times of all weeks.

[0068] In this way, after the embodiments of the present disclosure obtain the upper limit threshold of the number of times, subtracting it from the current total number of door opening / closing times can obtain the remaining door opening / closing times of the non-network refrigerator, that is, using the difference between the upper limit threshold of the number of times and the currently calculated number of door opening / closing times of the network refrigerator as an indicator to measure the usage situation of the non-network refrigerator. It can be understood that the larger the current number of door opening / closing times of the network refrigerator, the higher the usage frequency of the network refrigerator. And since the user's usage habits are consistent, the usage situation of the non-network refrigerator is also consistent with that of the network refrigerator. Therefore, the current total number of door opening / closing times of the network refrigerator can be indirectly used to represent the current total number of door opening / closing times of the non-network refrigerator. Subtracting the upper limit threshold of the number of times from the current total number of door opening / closing times can obtain the remaining door opening / closing times of the non-network refrigerator, ensuring the accuracy of the calculation of the remaining door opening / closing times, which is beneficial to indirectly measuring the usage situation of the non-network refrigerator based on the usage situation of the network refrigerator associated with the terminal device, thereby realizing the self-cleaning reminder of the non-network refrigerator.

[0069] Combined with Figure 3 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide another self-cleaning reminder method for a refrigerator, including:

[0070] S21, the processor associates the non-networked refrigerator with the terminal device and determines the start time of statistics.

[0071] S22, the processor counts the current number of times the networked refrigerator associated with the terminal device is opened and closed based on the start time of statistics.

[0072] S23, the processor determines the remaining number of times the non-networked refrigerator is opened and closed according to the current number of times it is opened and closed.

[0073] S24, when the remaining number of times the refrigerator is opened and closed is less than or equal to the threshold number of times, the processor pushes a reminder message to prompt the execution of the self-cleaning operation of the non-networked refrigerator. Among them, the order of magnitude of the threshold number of times is 10. As an example, the threshold number of times is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 20. The specific value of the threshold number of times can be set according to the actual situation.

[0074] Using the self-cleaning reminder method for refrigerators provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments of the present disclosure associate the non-networked refrigerator with the terminal device and determine the start time of statistics based on this. Then, based on the start time of statistics, the current number of times the networked refrigerator is opened and closed is counted. Then, the remaining number of times the non-networked refrigerator is opened and closed is determined according to the current number of times it is opened and closed. Finally, when the remaining number of times the refrigerator is opened and closed is less than or equal to the threshold number of times, it indirectly indicates that the non-networked refrigerator is used frequently, so the self-cleaning operation needs to be performed. At this time, a reminder message is pushed to prompt the execution of the self-cleaning operation of the non-networked refrigerator. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can indirectly obtain the usage situation of the non-networked refrigerator by means of the usage situation of the networked refrigerator associated with the terminal device, so as to realize the self-cleaning reminder of the non-networked refrigerator.

[0075] In practical applications, as Figure 4 shown, the self-cleaning reminder method for refrigerators specifically performs the following steps:

[0076] S101, the processor associates the non-networked refrigerator with the application program configured in the terminal device, and determines the association time between the non-networked refrigerator and the application program as the start time of statistics.

[0077] S102, the processor determines the first door opening and closing rate of the networked refrigerator on weekdays and the second door opening and closing rate on non-working days based on the start time of statistics with the start time of statistics as the reference time.

[0078] S103, the processor obtains the first weekly door opening and closing times of the networked refrigerator on weekdays according to the first door opening and closing rate.

[0079] S104, the processor obtains the second weekly door opening and closing times of the networked refrigerator on non-working days according to the second door opening and closing rate.

[0080] S105, the processor calculates the sum of the first number of door opening / closing cycles and the second number of door opening / closing cycles to obtain the current number of door opening / closing times per week.

[0081] S106, the processor obtains the total current number of door opening / closing times for all weeks based on the current number of door opening / closing times per week.

[0082] S107, the processor subtracts the upper limit threshold of the number of times from the total current number of door opening / closing times for all weeks to obtain the remaining number of door opening / closing times.

[0083] S108, when the remaining number of door opening times is less than or equal to 0, the processor pushes a reminder message to prompt the execution of the self-cleaning operation of the non-network refrigerator.
