[0058] Some implementation manners of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these implementation manners are only used to explain the technical principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

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 non-transitory computer-readable storage medium includes any suitable medium for storing program code, such as magnetic disks, hard disks, optical disks, flash memories, read-only memories, random access memories, and so on. The term "A and / or B" represents all possible combinations of A and B, such as only A, only B, or A and B. The term "at least one A or B" or "at least one of A and B" has a similar meaning to "A and / or B" and may include only A, only B, or A and B. The singular terms "a" and "this" may also include the plural form.

[0060] As described in the background art section, in view of the problem that the existing drying control method only judges drying based on the moisture content threshold of the clothes, thus affecting the user experience, the present invention provides a drying control method.

[0061] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the main steps of a drying control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the drying control method may be executed by a server, may also be executed by a washing and care device, or may also be jointly executed by a server and a washing and care device; the washing and care device may be a dryer, or a washing and drying integrated machine, etc., and no specific limitation is made here. As Figure 1 shown, the drying control method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S101: Obtain the drying condition parameters during the drying process, and perform time series decomposition on the obtained drying condition parameters to obtain the drying decomposition parameters.

[0063] Specifically, drying clothes requires a certain drying duration. Therefore, when the clothes to be dried start drying, there is no need to perform a dryness prediction on them. After the washing and drying device has executed the drying process for a preset duration, for example, after performing a 20-minute drying operation, the intelligent dryness determination program is started to predict the drying situation of the clothes to be dried. When the washing and drying device starts the intelligent dryness determination program, the water content of the clothes to be dried during the drying process is obtained through a sensor arranged in the washing and drying device to detect the water content of the clothes to be dried. Exemplarily, the sensor for detecting the water content of the clothes to be dried can be a capacitance sensor. The capacitance sensor can detect the capacitance value of the capacitance set between two electrodes in the washing and drying device. There is a certain conversion relationship between the capacitance value and the water content of the clothes. Thus, the water content of the clothes to be dried can be determined through the detected capacitance value and the conversion relationship. The capacitance sensor can directly detect the water content of the clothes to be dried within its detection range as the inner drum of the washing and drying device rotates. Therefore, it is more direct and accurate than the traditional humidity sensor. The types of sensors for detecting the water content of the clothes to be dried described above are only for exemplary illustration, and can be selected according to actual needs in practical applications.

[0064] In some embodiments, the washing and drying device includes an inner drum. Decomposing the obtained drying situation parameters in time series to obtain the drying decomposition parameters includes: setting one or more decomposition cycles based on the rotation situation of the inner drum; decomposing the obtained drying situation parameters in time series based on the multi-cycle time series decomposition algorithm and one or more decomposition cycles to obtain a periodic change curve and a trend change curve. Specifically, the multi-cycle time series decomposition algorithm (Multi Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loess, i.e., MSTL) is an algorithm for analyzing time series data. Common multi-cycle time series decomposition algorithms include an additive model and a multiplicative model. Among them, the additive model decomposes the time series into four parts: long-term trend, seasonal variation, cyclic variation, and irregular variation; the long-term trend represents the overall change trend of the time series, the seasonal variation represents the fixed periodic change existing in the time series, the cyclic variation represents the non-fixed periodic change existing in the time series, and the irregular variation represents the random change existing in the time series. The multiplicative model decomposes the time series into three parts: long-term trend, seasonal variation, and irregular variation; the product of the long-term trend and the seasonal variation represents the overall change trend of the time series, and the irregular variation represents the random change existing in the time series.

[0065] Step S102: Input the drying decomposition parameters into the trained drying prediction model to obtain the predicted drying completion time point.

[0066] In some embodiments, before inputting the drying decomposition parameters into the trained drying prediction model, the method further includes: extracting the features of the periodic change curve to obtain periodic features; and then inputting the periodic features and the trend change curve into the trained drying prediction model to obtain the predicted drying completion time point.

[0067] Step S103: Based on the predicted drying completion time point, control the washing and care device to perform the corresponding drying operation.

[0068] Based on the above steps S101 to S103, the present invention obtains the drying condition parameters during the drying process, performs time series decomposition on the obtained drying condition parameters to obtain the drying decomposition parameters, inputs the drying decomposition parameters into the trained drying prediction model to obtain the predicted drying completion time point, and based on the predicted drying completion time point, controls the washing and care device to perform the corresponding drying operation. Such a setting can judge the drying of the clothes to be dried based on the drying prediction model, thereby avoiding the situation that the clothes to be dried end drying prematurely or are over-dried, and improving the user experience.

[0069] Refer to the appendix Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the main step flow for controlling the washing and care device to perform the corresponding drying operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, controlling the washing and care device to perform the corresponding drying operation includes the following steps:

[0070] Step S201: Obtain the current drying time point of the drying process and determine whether the current drying time point is the predicted drying completion time point.

[0071] Step S202: When the current drying time point has not reached the predicted drying completion time point, control the washing and care device to continue the drying process and update the drying condition parameters.

[0072] Step S204: Perform time series decomposition on the updated drying condition parameters to obtain the drying decomposition parameters.

[0073] Step S205: Input the drying decomposition parameters into the trained drying prediction model to obtain the predicted drying completion time point, and loop through steps S201 - S204 until the current drying time point reaches the predicted drying completion time point.

[0074] Specifically, when the current drying time point has not reached the predicted drying completion time point, it indicates that the clothes to be dried have not been dried yet. Therefore, the washing and drying device needs to continue to execute the previous drying process and update the drying condition parameters to the current latest moment, so as to predict the drying completion time point again based on the updated drying condition parameters until the current drying time point reaches the predicted drying completion time point, and then control the washing and drying device to stop executing the drying process.

[0075] In some embodiments, the method further includes: when the washing and drying device executes the drying process, sending the condition information of the clothes to be dried to the user in real time; when the washing and drying device completes the drying process, sending a reminder message of the drying end to the user. Specifically, the condition information of the clothes to be dried may include at least one of the predicted drying completion time point of the clothes to be dried and the predicted drying degree of the clothes to be dried.

[0076] Exemplarily, the form of the condition information of the clothes to be dried may include but is not limited to information of voice type, information of text type, information of picture type, etc. For example, when the condition information of the clothes to be dried is information of voice type, the washing and drying device may push the condition information of the clothes to be dried to the user in the way of voice broadcast. The condition information of the clothes to be dried may be, for example, "The current drying degree of the clothes is 80%, and it is expected to finish drying in 15 minutes"; when the condition information of the clothes to be dried is information of text type, the washing and drying device may push the condition information of the clothes to be dried to the user by displaying it on its display screen or popping up a floating window on the user interface of the mobile terminal. The condition information of the clothes to be dried may be, for example, "Warm reminder: The current drying degree of the clothes is 80%, and it is expected to finish drying in 15 minutes"; when the condition information of the clothes to be dried is information of picture type, the washing and drying device may display picture information related to the drying degree of the clothes to be dried and the predicted drying completion time point of the clothes to be dried on its display screen. Similarly, the drying end reminder message may also include various forms such as voice type and text type, which will not be elaborated here. The form setting of the condition information of the clothes to be dried described above is only for exemplary illustration, and can be selected according to actual needs in practical applications.

[0077] Refer to the appendix Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the main step process for training the drying prediction model according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the method trains the drying prediction model based on at least the following steps:

[0078] Step S301: Obtain the drying training parameters in the drying training process, label the drying training parameters, and perform time series decomposition on the labeled drying training parameters to obtain the first drying decomposition parameters.

[0079] Step S302: Construct a to-be-trained drying prediction model, where the to-be-trained drying prediction model includes a to-be-trained periodic drying judgment prediction model, a to-be-trained trend drying judgment prediction model, and a to-be-trained hybrid prediction model.

[0080] Step S303: Input the first drying decomposition parameter into the to-be-trained drying prediction model for training to obtain a trained drying prediction model.

[0081] Specifically, the drying training parameters include the water content of single-material training clothes and the water content of multi-material training clothes, thus solving the problem of large drying judgment errors when clothes of different types, materials, and weights are mixed together, and improving the adaptability to multiple scenarios; label the drying training parameters with drying time to obtain the labeled drying training parameters. Exemplarily, the drying training parameters can be detected by a capacitance sensor provided in the washing and care device. Specifically, the capacitance sensor can detect the capacitance value of the capacitance set between two electrodes in the washing and care device. There is a certain conversion relationship between the capacitance value and the water content of the clothes. Therefore, the water content of single-material training clothes or multi-material training clothes can be determined through the detected capacitance value and the conversion relationship. The original data of single-material training clothes or multi-material training clothes detected by the capacitance sensor can be as Figure 4 shown, where Figure 4 the horizontal axis is the duration and the vertical axis is the capacitance value of the capacitance sensor.

[0082] In some embodiments, the washing and care device includes an inner drum. The steps for performing time series decomposition on the obtained drying training parameters to obtain the first drying decomposition parameter include:

[0083] Step S401: Set the decomposition period based on the rotation condition of the inner drum.

[0084] Step S402: Perform time series decomposition on the drying training parameters based on the multi-period time series decomposition algorithm and the decomposition period to obtain a periodic training change curve and a trend training change curve.

[0085] Specifically, one of the following can be used as the decomposition period: the inner drum rotates forward or backward 1 week, the inner drum rotates forward or backward 3 weeks, the inner drum rotates forward 3 weeks + a preset residence duration + rotates backward 3 weeks, or the inner drum (rotates forward 3 weeks + a preset residence duration + rotates backward 3 weeks)*2. Thus, time series decomposition is performed on the drying training parameters based on MSTL and the decomposition period. The MSTL algorithm is an extension of the seasonal-trend decomposition procedure based on loess (STL) algorithm. It can be decomposed into a time series with multiple decomposition periods, as shown in formula (1):

[0086] Y(t) = T(t) + S1(t) + S2(t) +... + S nY(t) + R(t) (1)

[0087] Among them, Y(t) is the drying training parameter, n is the number of periodic terms in the drying training parameter, T(t) is the decomposed trend term, S(t) is the periodic term, and R(t) is the residual term.

[0088] In some embodiments, the washing and care device includes an inner drum. The steps for performing time series decomposition on the obtained drying training parameter to obtain the first drying decomposition parameter are as follows:

[0089] Step S501: Set multiple decomposition periods based on the rotation condition of the inner drum.

[0090] Step S502: Perform time series decomposition on the drying training parameter based on the multi-period time series decomposition algorithm and the multiple decomposition periods to obtain the periodic training change curve and the trend training change curve for each decomposition period.

[0091] Specifically, multiple rotations such as the inner drum rotating forward or backward 1 week, the inner drum rotating forward or backward 3 weeks, the inner drum rotating forward 3 weeks + a preset residence time + rotating backward 3 weeks, or the inner drum (rotating forward 3 weeks + a preset residence time + rotating backward 3 weeks) * 2 can be used as the decomposition periods. Exemplarily, when the raw data of single-material training clothes or multi-material training clothes collected by a capacitance sensor arranged in the washing and care device can be as Figure 4 shown, based on the inner drum rotating forward or backward 1 week, the inner drum rotating forward or backward 3 weeks, the inner drum rotating forward 3 weeks + a preset residence time + rotating backward 3 weeks, and the inner drum (rotating forward 3 weeks + a preset residence time + rotating backward 3 weeks) * 2 as the decomposition periods respectively to decompose the drying training parameter, the trend training change curve (Trend) and the periodic training change curve (season) for each decomposition period obtained are respectively as Figures 5 - 8 shown.

[0092] In some embodiments, the method further includes: extracting the features of the periodic training change curve to obtain the periodic training features. Specifically, when a decomposition period is set based on the rotation condition of the inner drum, the periodic training change curve of the decomposition period obtained is subjected to feature extraction to obtain the periodic training features of the decomposition period; when multiple decomposition periods are set based on the rotation condition of the inner drum, the periodic training change curves of the multiple decomposition periods obtained are respectively subjected to feature extraction to obtain the periodic training features of the multiple decomposition periods.

[0093] Exemplarily, at least one of the slope of the periodic training variation curve within a preset stage, the maximum value and the minimum value within the preset stage, and the difference between the maximum value of the previous preset stage and the maximum value of the next preset stage can be extracted to obtain periodic training features. The above-described setting method of the periodic training variation curve features is only for exemplary illustration, and can be selected according to actual needs in practical applications.

[0094] See the appendix Figure 9 , Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the main step flow for training by inputting the first drying decomposition parameters into a drying prediction model to be trained according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 9 shown, in some embodiments, training by inputting the first drying decomposition parameters into a drying prediction model to be trained to obtain a trained drying prediction model includes the following steps:

[0095] Step S601: Input the periodic training features into the periodic drying prediction model to be trained to obtain a trained first drying prediction result.

[0096] Step S602: Input the trend training variation curve into the trend drying prediction model to be trained to obtain a trained second drying prediction result.

[0097] Step S603: Input the trained first drying prediction result and the trained second drying prediction result into the hybrid prediction model to be trained to obtain a trained drying completion time point.

[0098] Step S604: Obtain a loss function based on the trained drying completion time point and the labeled drying training parameters, and feedback the loss function to Step S601, and repeatedly execute Steps S601 - S604 until the loss function converges.

[0099] Specifically, when a decomposition period is set based on the rotation condition of the inner cylinder, the period training features of the decomposition period extracted are input into the period judgment drying prediction model to be trained, and the trend training change curve of the decomposition period obtained by decomposition is input into the trend judgment drying prediction model to be trained. When multiple decomposition periods are set based on the rotation condition of the inner cylinder, the period training features of the multiple decomposition periods extracted are input into the period judgment drying prediction model to be trained, and the optimal trend training change curve among the multiple decomposition periods obtained by decomposition is input into the trend judgment drying prediction model to be trained; alternatively, the trend training change curves of the multiple decomposition periods obtained by decomposition are all input into the trend judgment drying prediction model to be trained. The first drying prediction result is the moisture content prediction result of the single-material training clothing or multi-material training clothing, and the second drying prediction result is the predicted first drying completion time point of the single-material training clothing or multi-material training clothing; the trained first drying prediction result output by the period judgment drying prediction model and the trained second drying prediction result output by the trend judgment drying prediction model are input into the hybrid prediction model to be trained to obtain the predicted drying completion time point of the single-material training clothing or multi-material training clothing.

[0100] In some embodiments, the method further includes: constructing a period judgment drying prediction model to be trained based on a random forest model; constructing a trend judgment drying prediction model to be trained based on a Transformer model; constructing a hybrid prediction model to be trained based on a support vector machine.

[0101] Specifically, the random forest model is a relatively new machine learning model (a non-linear tree-based model) ensemble learning method. Through the bootstrap resampling technique, it repeatedly and randomly draws K samples (K is generally the same as N) from the original training sample set N with replacement to generate a new training sample set. Then, n classification trees are generated based on the bootstrap sample set to form a random forest. Its essence is an improvement of the decision tree algorithm, combining multiple decision trees together, and the establishment of each tree depends on an independently drawn sample set. The Transformer model can perform excellently in sequence-to-sequence tasks through the self-attention mechanism and the encoder-decoder structure. The self-attention mechanism can assign different importance to each element in the sequence at different positions, and the encoder-decoder structure allows the model to encode on the input sequence and then decode on the output sequence to generate the target sequence. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a supervised learning algorithm mainly used for classification and regression analysis. It attempts to find a hyperplane that can maximally separate data points of different classes. SVM can handle linearly separable and non-linearly separable data.
