[0037] Currently, general household products or home appliances generally only store one user setting and cannot distinguish the identities of users. Therefore, when family members have their own preferences, it is very inconvenient to use. For products that can set preferences through user login, they generally log in by inputting an account password on the analog keyboard of the touch screen, and then enter their respective habitual settings and preferences according to the account. However, the account password needs to be input each time when logging in, which is very inconvenient. Moreover, if there are too many home appliances in a family, the passwords of different household products are easily confused and forgotten; although products using fingerprint login technology speed up the login process, they will add a fingerprint recognition module, increasing the product cost. For products with a small volume (such as a remote controller), there will also be a problem that there is no space to place the fingerprint recognition module.

[0038] Based on this, in various embodiments of the present application, a first capacitance value of a first touch operation detected on the touch screen of the home appliance device is collected; based on the operating mode and / or operating parameters matching the first capacitance value, the home appliance device is controlled to operate. In the above solution, by using the bioelectricity between different family members, different capacitance values are generated for the same touch screen, so that the operating mode and / or operating parameters suitable for the preferences of family members can be determined through the respective first capacitance values of family members. Controlling the operation of the home appliance device based on the operating mode and / or operating parameters preferred by each family member does not require entering an account password, and the capacitance value is different from a fingerprint, so there is no need to set a fingerprint recognition module in the home appliance device. Thus, without increasing costs, the user operation is greatly simplified and the user experience is improved.

[0039] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] An embodiment of the present application provides a home appliance control method, which is applied to a home appliance device. The home appliance device may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: rice cooker, remote controller, air conditioner, fan, water heater, etc., which are not specifically limited here; the home appliance device is also called a smart home appliance device. As Figure 1 shown, it includes:

[0041] Step 101: Collect a first capacitance value of a first touch operation detected on the touch screen of the home appliance device.

[0042] Here, when the home appliance device detects that the user inputs a first touch operation on the touch screen of the home appliance device, the first capacitance value generated by the first touch operation is collected or read or determined. Among them, the touch screen includes buttons or touch buttons, such as a power button, one or more function buttons. The user can input a touch operation on the touch buttons of the touch screen, such as clicking on a touch button. The first touch operation can be considered as a valid touch operation, that is, the first touch operation can trigger a key event or a set function or a set operation corresponding to the touch button.

[0043] It should be noted that the principle of detecting the capacitance value of a touch operation on the touch screen of a household electrical appliance is the mutual capacitance principle between conductive objects; that is, when no touch operation occurs, the capacitance value detected on the touch screen tends to be stable, and this capacitance value at this time can be understood as environmental noise; when a finger approaches or touches a touch button, that is, when the user inputs a touch operation on the touch screen of the household electrical appliance, for example, clicks on a touch button on the touch screen, the mutual capacitance value will increase significantly. Based on this, the capacitance value detected on the touch screen of the household electrical appliance can be read regularly; when the read capacitance value is greater than or equal to a first threshold, it is considered that this capacitance value is a valid capacitance value, and this touch operation is a valid touch or a valid click, and this valid capacitance value is collected or read or stored, and the first capacitance value is the valid capacitance value; when the read capacitance value is less than the first threshold, it is considered that this capacitance value is an invalid capacitance value or noise. One touch operation corresponds to one capacitance value.

[0044] Step 102: Control the operation of the household electrical appliance based on the operating mode and / or operating parameters matching the first capacitance value.

[0045] Here, when the first capacitance value of the first touch operation is determined, the operating mode and / or operating parameters matching the first capacitance value are determined, and based on the operating mode and / or operating parameters matching the first capacitance value, the operation of the household electrical appliance is controlled.

[0046] The operating mode and / or operating parameters can be directly matched or associated with the first capacitance value, or can be matched or associated with the first capacitance value through the user (such as user identity or account), that is, the operating mode and / or operating parameters are matched or associated with the user, and the user is matched or associated with the first capacitance value. The operating mode can at least include an adult mode and a child mode. The operating mode and / or operating parameters matching the first capacitance value can be understood as the operating mode and / or operating parameters that adapt to the user's preferences or usage habits, which can be set by the user himself, or can be the operating mode and / or operating parameters used by the user last time, or can be the operating mode and / or operating parameters determined according to the user's multiple historical usage data.

[0047] It should be noted that before controlling the operation of the household electrical appliance based on the operating mode and / or operating parameters matching the first capacitance value, the account of the corresponding user can be logged in based on the first capacitance value, and the operating mode and / or operating parameters associated with the user's account are determined, so as to obtain the operating mode and / or operating parameters matching the first capacitance value. That is to say, the first capacitance value can be used to log in to the user's account and obtain the operating mode and / or operating parameters associated with the user's account.

[0048] In this embodiment, based on the principle of inductive capacitance, the first capacitance value of the first touch operation is detected, and the household electrical appliance device is controlled based on the first capacitance value, so as to simplify the user operation while controlling the cost, enable the household electrical appliance device to quickly log in to the corresponding user account, and restore the working mode and / or working parameters adapted to the user's habits or preferences, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0049] In one embodiment, before collecting the capacitance value of the first touch operation detected on the touch screen of the household electrical appliance device, the method further includes:

[0050] Collecting the second capacitance values of the second touch operations input by different users on the touch screen of the household electrical appliance device, where the second capacitance values corresponding to different users are different;

[0051] Setting different working modes and / or working parameters based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users; or

[0052] Allocating the usage accounts of the household electrical appliance device to different users based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users, and establishing an association relationship between the usage account of each user and the working mode and / or working parameters preferred by the user.

[0053] Here, different users of the household electrical appliance device input the second touch operations on the touch screen one by one to record the second capacitance values of the second touch operations in the household electrical appliance device, so as to perform initialization settings or user registration through the second capacitance values to obtain the accounts allocated or registered for the users by the household electrical appliance device based on the second capacitance values. Among them, the user inputting the second touch operation can be understood as a new user. The second touch operations input by a user on the touch screen of the household electrical appliance device can be multiple. Correspondingly, the second capacitance values of the second touch operations input by a user can also be multiple, that is, the number of second capacitance values corresponding to a user is greater than or equal to 1.

[0054] The household electrical appliance device collects or obtains or determines the second capacitance values of the second touch operations input by different users on the touch screen of the household electrical appliance device; then, sets different working modes and / or working parameters based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users, or allocates the usage accounts of the household electrical appliance device to different users based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users, and establishes an association relationship between the usage account of each user and the working mode and / or working parameters preferred by the user.

[0055] Setting different working modes and / or working parameters based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users can be understood as obtaining and saving the initialization modes or initialization parameters set according to their respective preferences or usage habits by different users after inputting the second touch operation, and establishing an association relationship between the second capacitance values corresponding to the same user and the initialization modes or initialization parameters; it can also be understood as identifying the user types or user groups of the household appliances based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users, and setting the working modes and / or working parameters applicable to different user types or user groups based on big data; it can also be understood as obtaining and saving the working modes and / or working parameters modified by different users based on the factory default settings displayed on the household appliances, and establishing an association relationship between the second capacitance values corresponding to the same user and the modified working modes and / or working parameters.

[0056] Allocating the usage accounts of household appliances to different users based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users can be understood as a user registration operation. Since the second capacitance values corresponding to different users are different, the household appliances can allocate different accounts to each user based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users.

[0057] After allocating the usage accounts of household appliances to different users based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users, the default working modes and / or working parameters can be regarded as the working modes and / or working parameters preferred by the users, or the users can set the working modes and / or working parameters preferred by themselves, and then establish an association relationship between the usage account of each user and the working modes and / or working parameters preferred by the users. That is to say, the working modes and / or working parameters preferred by the users can be set by the users after inputting the second touch operation, or can be saved in the household appliances before inputting the second touch operation, or can also be determined according to the historical data of the users using the household appliances.

[0058] It should be noted that since the salts and moisture in different users are different, and the contact surfaces of the fingers pressing the touch screen of the household appliances are different, the induced capacitance values generated by the touch operations are different. Therefore, the capacitance values of the touch operations input by different users on the same touch screen are different. For example, Figure 2 the second capacitance values (which can be understood as touch capacitance values) of each family member in a family as shown, including the capacitance value of the father (such as the father reading value), the capacitance value of the mother (such as the mother reading value), and the capacitance value of the child (such as the child reading value). It can be seen that Figure 2 the second capacitance values of the three family members in

[0059] In this embodiment, the second capacitance values of different users collected can be used to distinguish user identities, or distinguish the working modes and / or working parameters corresponding to the preferences or usage habits of different users, complete initialization settings or user registration, so that during the use of household electrical appliances, the operation of inputting account passwords can be avoided, and there is no need to add a fingerprint recognition module, realizing the rapid switching of the working modes and / or working parameters of household electrical appliances, or the rapid login of users, and the working modes and / or working parameters adapted to the user's usage habits can be set, enabling users to use household electrical appliances in a personalized manner.

[0060] In one embodiment, setting different working modes and / or working parameters based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users includes:

[0061] Based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users, set one or more thresholds;

[0062] Based on the one or more thresholds, set at least two working modes and / or working parameters.

[0063] Here, by analyzing the second capacitance values corresponding to different users, or the range or variation law of the second capacitance values, one or more thresholds that can distinguish different users can be calculated. The more the number of second capacitance values corresponding to a user, the more accurate the set threshold; the number of thresholds can be the number of users minus 1; for example, when the number of user types is 2 (such as children and adults), according to one or more second capacitance values corresponding to the two types of users respectively, set one threshold to distinguish the identities of these two types of users; for another example, when the number of user types is 3 (such as children, men, and women), according to one or more second capacitance values corresponding to the three types of users respectively, set two thresholds.

[0064] The working parameters of different working modes can be partially different or completely different. For example, when the household electrical appliance is an air conditioner and the user types are divided into adults and children, the air conditioner temperature of the working mode corresponding to adults can be set to 24°C, and the wind speed can be set to the third gear. The air conditioner temperature of the working mode corresponding to children can be set not to be lower than 26°C, and the wind speed cannot be too high (such as the wind speed does not exceed the second gear).

[0065] In this embodiment, thresholds are set based on the capacitance values of different users. The thresholds are used to distinguish different users or user categories. Based on the thresholds, working modes and / or working parameters are set, thereby increasing the accuracy of user identification and the adaptability of the working modes and / or working parameters to users.

[0066] In one embodiment, allocating the usage accounts of the household electrical appliance to different users based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users includes:

[0067] Determine the capacitance value range corresponding to different users based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users;

[0068] Correspondingly allocate a usage account of the household electrical appliance device to each capacitance value range.

[0069] Here, based on one or more second capacitance values corresponding to the same user, determine the capacitance value range corresponding to this user, so that the capacitance value ranges corresponding to different users can be determined respectively. The method for determining the capacitance value range can be to determine the capacitance value range through the average value or median of one or more second capacitance values, or to determine the capacitance value range through the maximum second capacitance value and the minimum second capacitance value, which is not specifically limited here. Correspondingly allocate a usage account of the household electrical appliance device to each determined capacitance value range to complete user registration; correspondingly allocating a usage account of the household electrical appliance device to each determined capacitance value range can be understood as the household electrical appliance device identifying a capacitance value range as a user and allocating an account to each capacitance value range. Among them, the users and the capacitance value ranges are in one-to-one correspondence, and the accounts corresponding to different capacitance value ranges are different; the more the number of second capacitance values corresponding to a user, the more accurate the determined capacitance value range, and the user identity can be more accurately identified through the first capacitance value subsequently.

[0070] In this embodiment, determining the capacitance value range corresponding to a user based on the capacitance values of different users and allocating a usage account of the household electrical appliance device to each capacitance value range, that is, allocating a usage account of the household electrical appliance device to each user, is applicable to families with a large number of users or household electrical appliance devices with large differences in the preferences or usage habits of different users, increasing the accuracy of user identification and the adaptability of the working mode and / or working parameters to the users.

[0071] In one embodiment, the controlling the operation of the household electrical appliance device based on the working mode and / or working parameters matching the first capacitance value includes:

[0072] Determine the user identity based on the first capacitance value;

[0073] Control the operation of the household electrical appliance device based on the working mode and / or working parameters matching the user identity.

[0074] Here, the first capacitance value can be compared or matched with the capacitance value range or threshold stored in the household appliance device, and the user identity can be determined based on the comparison result; the working mode and / or working parameters corresponding to the user can be determined based on the user identity; based on the working mode and / or working parameters corresponding to the user, the operation of the household appliance device can be controlled. The working mode and / or working parameters matching the user identity can be set by the user himself / herself, or can be the working mode and / or working parameters used by the user last time, or can also be determined according to multiple historical usage data of the user. Controlling the operation of the household appliance device can be to control the household appliance device to power on and control the operation of the household appliance device according to the working mode and / or working parameters matching the user identity; or it can be to control the operation of the household appliance device according to the working mode and / or working parameters matching the user identity on the basis of the key event or set function triggered by the first touch operation.

[0075] In this embodiment, determining the user identity based on the first capacitance value simplifies the user operation, improves the user experience, and does not increase the device cost; controlling the operation of the household appliance device based on the working mode and / or working parameters matching the user identity realizes the personalized use of the household appliance device.

[0076] In one embodiment, the determining the user identity based on the first capacitance value includes:

[0077] Determining the user identity based on the matching result between the first capacitance value and one or more capacitance value ranges; or

[0078] Determining the user identity based on the comparison result between the first capacitance value and one or more thresholds, where the user identity includes children and / or adults.

[0079] Here, based on the matching result between the first capacitance value and one or more capacitance value ranges, the user identity is determined. It can be understood as follows: The first capacitance value is matched with one or more capacitance value ranges to determine whether the first capacitance value belongs to a certain capacitance value range; when the first capacitance value belongs to one of the capacitance value ranges, the user identity is determined as the user corresponding to that capacitance value range; when the first capacitance value does not fall within any of the capacitance value ranges, the user identity is determined as a new user, that is, the user identity is an unregistered user, which can be understood as a visitor. Among them, one or more capacitance value ranges are the capacitance value ranges corresponding to each user stored in the household appliance; for example, when the first capacitance value is within the capacitance value range corresponding to a child, the user identity is determined as a child or a kid, the working mode and / or working parameters matching the child are determined, and the household appliance is controlled to operate based on the working mode and / or working parameters matching the child. In practical applications, to ensure the safety of children, restrictions are usually imposed on household appliances used by children, such as the air conditioner temperature not being lower than 26 °C, the wind speed not exceeding 3 gears, and the water heater temperature not exceeding 50 °C.

[0080] Based on the comparison result between the first capacitance value and one or more thresholds, the user identity is determined, including:

[0081] In the scenario where there is only one threshold: when the first capacitance value is greater than or equal to the threshold, the user identity is determined as an adult; when the first capacitance value is less than the threshold, the user identity is determined as a child;

[0082] In the scenario where there are multiple thresholds, the multiple thresholds can form multiple capacitance value intervals, and the user identity is determined based on the capacitance value interval corresponding to the first capacitance value.

[0083] It should be noted that when the difference between the first capacitance value and the maximum threshold is greater than the first value, or the difference between the minimum threshold and the first capacitance value is greater than the second value, it indicates that the difference between the first capacitance value and the capacitance value interval corresponding to the currently stored user is relatively large, and the user corresponding to the first capacitance value is regarded as a new user or a visitor, rather than a regular user of the household appliance; the first value and the second value can be determined according to the actual situation, and they can be the same or different; for example, they can be determined according to the value range of the closed capacitance value intervals corresponding to one or more family members in practical applications.

[0084] In this embodiment, determining the user identity through thresholds or capacitance value ranges increases the accuracy of user identification, thereby increasing the adaptability of the working mode and / or working parameters to the user and improving the user experience.

[0085] The following further describes the present application in detail with application examples.

[0086] Such as Figure 3As shown, the household appliance control method process includes:

[0087] Step 301: Start.

[0088] Here, before a user uses a newly purchased household appliance device or new product, user registration needs to be carried out first. The user can select the registration function on the touch screen of the product and perform a second touch operation on the touch screen of the household appliance device, and the household appliance device executes Step 302; or directly perform a first touch operation on the touch screen of the household appliance device, and the household appliance device executes Step 305.

[0089] Step 302: Collect the second capacitance values of the second touch operations input by different users on the touch screen of the household appliance device.

[0090] Here, each user in the family inputs one or more second touch operations on the touch screen of the household appliance device, and the household appliance device respectively collects one or more second capacitance values corresponding to one or more second touch operations input by each user in the family on the touch screen of the household appliance device. The second capacitance value is a valid capacitance value; through one or more second capacitance values corresponding to each user, user registration is completed. For example, in a family with a father, a mother, and a child, respectively collect 10 second touch operations (including 10 key operations or click operations) input by the father, the mother, and the child on the touch screen of the household appliance device, read and save the second capacitance values of the 10 second touch operations, and register accounts for each user based on the second capacitance values of different users.

[0091] In addition, it is also possible to process the capacitance values corresponding to the second touch operations input by each user on the touch screen of the household appliance device to collect the valid second capacitance values corresponding to each user; the processing method can include removing noise and capacitance values with large offsets.

[0092] It should be noted that user registration can be completed through Steps 303 - 304, or user registration can also be completed through Steps 305 - 306.

[0093] Step 303: Based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users, determine the capacitance value ranges corresponding to different users.

[0094] For example, based on Figure 2 the multiple second capacitance values of the father, the mother, and the child collected above, it can be determined that the capacitance value range of the father is 480 - 550, the capacitance value range of the mother is 400 - 460, and the capacitance value range of the child is 200 - 350.

[0095] Step 304: Allocate a usage account of the household appliance device to each capacitance value range.

[0096] For example, a usage account of a household appliance device assigned to the capacitance value range corresponding to Dad is User A, and an association relationship is established between User A and the working mode and / or working parameters preferred by Dad; a usage account of a household appliance device assigned to the capacitance value range corresponding to Mom is User B, and an association relationship is established between User B and the working mode and / or working parameters preferred by Mom; a usage account of a household appliance device assigned to the capacitance value range corresponding to the child is User C, and an association relationship is established between User C and the working mode and / or working parameters preferred by the child.

[0097] It should be noted that when establishing the association relationship between the usage account of each user and the working mode and / or working parameters preferred by the user, the working mode and / or working parameters preferred by the user can be the default settings at the time of factory shipment or can be set by the user himself / herself, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0098] Step 305: Set one or more thresholds based on the second capacitance values corresponding to different users.

[0099] For example, by analyzing Figure 2 the multiple capacitance values of Dad, Mom, and the child collected in [description of collection source], set a threshold for distinguishing children and adults, or set two thresholds for distinguishing Dad, Mom, and the child. In practical applications, the capacitance values of adults and children are quite different. The household appliance device can analyze the second capacitance values corresponding to adults and children and calculate a threshold that can effectively distinguish adults and children (which can be understood as the dividing line between adults and children), and this threshold can be denoted as TH.

[0100] Step 306: Set at least two working modes and / or working parameters based on one or more thresholds.

[0101] Here, based on one or more thresholds, at least two threshold intervals are determined, and working modes and / or working parameters are set for each threshold interval. The set working modes and / or working parameters can be the default settings at the time of factory shipment or can be set by the user himself / herself, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0102] Step 307: Collect the first capacitance value of the first touch operation detected on the touch screen of the household appliance device.

[0103] Here, after the user registers or before a new household appliance device or new product is used, when a valid first capacitance value is collected, Step 308 is executed.

[0104] Step 308: Determine the user identity based on the first capacitance value.

[0105] Here, when user registration is completed through steps 303 - 304, the user identity is determined based on the matching result between the first capacitance value and one or more capacitance value ranges; when user registration is completed through steps 305 - 306, the user identity is determined based on the comparison result between the first capacitance value and one or more thresholds. For example, when the first capacitance value is between 200 - 350, the user identity is determined to be a child; when the first capacitance value is between 400 - 460, the user identity is determined to be a mom; when the first capacitance value is between 480 - 550, the user identity is determined to be a dad. Another example, the first capacitance value can be denoted as V. When V < TH, the user identity is determined to be a child; when V ≥ TH, the user identity is determined to be an adult.

[0106] It should be noted that when the first capacitance value does not match the capacitance value range of any stored user, or the difference between the first capacitance value and the maximum threshold is greater than the first value, or the difference between the minimum threshold and the first capacitance value is greater than the second value, the user is determined to be a new user.

[0107] Step 309: Whether it is a new user.

[0108] Here, it is judged whether the determined user identity is a new user. If it is a new user, user registration needs to be performed, step 302 is executed, or the home appliance device is controlled to operate using the default settings; if it is not a new user, step 310 is executed.

[0109] Step 310: Control the home appliance device to operate based on the working mode and / or working parameters matching the user identity.

[0110] Here, based on the user identity, the working mode and / or working parameters of the home appliance device matching the user identity are determined, the home appliance device is turned on, and it operates according to the determined working mode and / or working parameters.

[0111] When the user is a new user, the home appliance device is controlled to operate using the default settings. When the user is a registered user, that is, not a new user, the home appliance device is controlled to operate based on the user - preferred working mode and / or working parameters.

[0112] It should be noted that when the household appliance is operating in accordance with the working mode and / or working parameters corresponding to the first user, the first capacitance value is collected, and the user identity determined based on the first capacitance value is the second user, the household appliance switches from the working mode and / or working parameters corresponding to the first user to the working mode and / or working parameters corresponding to the second user; the first user is different from the second user. For example, when the household appliance is operating in accordance with the working mode and / or working parameters corresponding to children (such as the air-conditioning temperature is greater than or equal to 26°C, and the wind speed is less than or equal to the second gear), a valid first capacitance value is collected, and the user identity determined based on the first capacitance value is an adult, the household appliance switches to the working mode and / or working parameters corresponding to the adult, which can be understood as exiting the child mode and removing the restrictions on the working mode and / or working parameters.
