[0093] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and examples thereof are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0094] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a control method for a washing device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 The washing device 100, the network device 101, the network 102, the clothes drying device 103, the server 104, and the terminal device 105 are shown.

[0095] Among them, the washing device includes a lighting unit 1001 and a control unit 1002. The washing device 100 can be a device for washing or drying, such as a washing machine or a dryer. The lighting unit 1001 can be a downlight for lighting. The control unit 1002 is used to control the washing device 100. The network device 101 can be a router for network connection, and it can connect the washing device 100, the clothes drying device 103, and the terminal device 105 to a network (such as 102) through wireless or wired means, so that these devices can communicate with each other.

[0096] Here, the washing device 100, the clothes drying device 103, and the terminal device 105 are communicatively connected through the network device 101, the network 102, and the server 104.

[0097] It can be understood that the clothes drying device 103 can be an intelligent device for drying clothes, quilts and other objects, such as an intelligent clothes hanger. The server 104 can be a local server or a cloud server, etc., which is not limited here.

[0098] Here, the intelligent drying rack can be a multifunctional intelligent drying rack improved on the basis of a traditional hand-cranked drying rack. It can realize functions such as lighting, sterilization, air drying, drying, and voice control. It can also realize functions such as the rising and falling of the drying rack through the forward and reverse rotation of the motor. The drying equipment 103 can determine its own state, such as the rising state and the falling state, through the electrical signal unit.

[0099] In some embodiments, if the washing equipment 100 is a washing machine, then the lighting unit 1001 can be a downlight, which can be located above the washing tub of the washing machine. Generally, a lamp bead board can be arranged on the sealing plug of the washing equipment 100. The lamp bead board is provided with white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and is electrically connected to the electronic components arranged in the sealing plug, so as to be able to emit white light externally. The function of the lighting unit 1001 is to provide lighting during the washing or drying process, so that the user can clearly see the clothes in the washing equipment 100 and avoid missing any.

[0100] It can be understood that the terminal device 105 can include a mobile terminal. For example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, a laptop computer, a wearable device, etc. Among them, the wearable device can include: a portable device with a battery that is directly worn on the user's body or integrated into the user's accessories. For example, it can include: a wearable device supported by the wrist (including a watch, a wristband, etc.); a wearable device supported by the foot (including shoes, socks, etc.), a wearable device supported by the head (including headphones, glasses, helmets, headbands, etc.). It can also include: smart clothing, schoolbags, crutches, accessories, etc.

[0101] It should be noted that: Figure 1 The various devices included and the connection relationships between the devices are for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit them.

[0102] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a control method for a washing device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, this method is used in the washing device and mainly includes the following steps:

[0103] In step 201, receive the state detection signal sent by the drying equipment; wherein, the state detection signal is used to represent the state of the drying equipment.

[0104] In step 202, control the lighting unit of the washing device to enter the working state corresponding to the state detection signal.

[0105] Here, the status detection signal may include a rising signal and a falling signal. The clothes drying device may be an intelligent device for drying objects such as clothes and quilts, such as an intelligent clothes hanger. The clothes drying device can determine its own state through the electrical signal unit, such as the rising state and the falling state.

[0106] Understandably, the user can control the clothes drying device to perform the rising operation and the falling operation by issuing voice commands, and can also control the clothes drying device to perform the rising operation and the falling operation through a remote control.

[0107] When the washing device finishes washing, the user needs to dry the objects. The clothes drying device may be at a relatively high height when not in use, which is inconvenient for the user's drying process. At this time, the user can control the clothes drying device to perform a falling operation to lower the height of the clothes drying device for the convenience of the user's drying; after drying, the user can control the clothes drying device to perform a rising operation to raise the height of the clothes drying device, thereby saving space and preventing the user from touching the clothes when walking.

[0108] Here, when the clothes drying device performs a rising operation, the clothes drying device can detect that it is in the rising state, and the corresponding status detection signal is the rising signal; when the clothes drying device performs a falling operation, the clothes drying device can detect that it is in the falling state, and the corresponding status detection signal is the falling signal.

[0109] In this embodiment, after the clothes drying device determines its own state, it sends the status detection signal corresponding to its own state to the washing device. In this way, the washing device can receive the status detection signal sent by the clothes drying device.

[0110] Understandably, after the washing device receives the status detection signal sent by the clothes drying device, according to the status detection signal, it determines the state of the clothes drying device, that is, determines whether someone is using the clothes drying device. Then, through its own control unit, it controls its own lighting unit to enter the working state corresponding to the status detection signal to achieve automatic control of the working state of the lighting unit.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the washing device receives the status detection signal sent by the clothes drying device. Since the status detection signal is used to represent the state of the clothes drying device, the washing device can determine the state of the clothes drying device according to this status detection signal, that is, whether someone is using the clothes drying device. Whether the clothes drying device is used is related to whether the washing process of the washing device is over and whether the lighting unit of the washing device is turned on. Based on this, the washing device controls its own lighting unit to enter the working state corresponding to the status detection signal. In this way, through the above process, this embodiment can automatically control the working state of the lighting unit without manual operation by the user, improving the user experience.

[0112] In some embodiments, receiving a status detection signal sent by a drying device, including:

[0113] When the lighting unit is in the on state, receiving a descending signal sent by the drying device; wherein, the descending signal is used to indicate that the drying device is in the descending state;

[0114] Controlling the lighting unit of the washing device to enter a working state corresponding to the status detection signal, including:

[0115] According to the descending signal, controlling the lighting unit to enter the long - on state.

[0116] It can be understood that when the lighting unit is in the on state, the washing device can send the situation that it is in the on state to the drying device, so that the drying device can determine its own state when the lighting unit is in the on state. If the drying device determines that it is in the descending state when the lighting unit is in the on state, it means that the user needs to use the drying device and controls the drying device to perform a descending operation. At this time, the drying device sends a descending signal to the washing device.

[0117] In this way, the washing device will receive the descending signal sent by the drying device. Through this descending signal, it can be determined that someone (i.e., the user) wants to use the drying device and controls the drying device to perform a descending operation. At this time, in order to facilitate the user to move around the washing device, such as taking out the objects in the washing device and drying the objects, etc., it is necessary to make the lighting unit of the washing device enter the long - on state. Therefore, the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the long - on state according to the descending signal through its own control unit.

[0118] Here, after the washing process is over, the user needs to take out the objects in the washing device and dry the objects. During this process, the lighting unit in the related art may already be in the off state, which is not convenient for the user's subsequent activities and results in a poor user experience.

[0119] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by controlling the lighting unit to enter the long - on state through the above - mentioned method, it can provide lighting for the user during the drying process, facilitate the user to take out the objects in the washing device and dry the objects, and can avoid missing items, further improving the user experience.

[0120] In some embodiments, receiving a status detection signal sent by a drying device, including:

[0121] When the lighting unit is in the long - on state, receiving an ascending signal sent by the drying device; wherein, the ascending signal is used to indicate that the drying device is in the ascending state;

[0122] Controlling the lighting unit of the washing device to enter a working state corresponding to the status detection signal, including:

[0123] Control the lighting unit to enter the off state according to the rising signal.

[0124] Understandably, when the lighting unit is in the always-on state, the washing device can send the situation of its own always-on state to the drying device, so that the drying device can determine its own state when the lighting unit is in the always-on state. If the drying device determines that it is in the rising state when the lighting unit is in the always-on state, it sends a rising signal to the washing device.

[0125] In this way, the washing device will receive the rising signal sent by the drying device. Through this rising signal, it can be determined that the washing process is over, the user has dried the object well, the drying device has been used up, and the user has controlled the drying device to perform the rising operation. At this time, in order to save electric energy, it is necessary to make the lighting unit of the washing device enter the off state. Therefore, the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the off state according to the rising signal through its own control unit.

[0126] Here, when the washing process is over and the user has dried the object well, the lighting unit needs to be turned off. In the related art, the lighting unit cannot be automatically controlled to enter the off state as the drying process ends, resulting in a poor user experience and wasting electric energy.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the drying process is over, the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the off state according to the rising signal, which can save electric energy and improve the user experience.

[0128] In some embodiments, the above method further includes:

[0129] When the lighting unit is in the always-on state, detect that the door of the washing device switches from the open state to the closed state, and control the lighting unit to enter the off state.

[0130] Understandably, when the lighting unit is in the always-on state, it means that the user is using the drying device around the washing device, and the use of the drying device is related to the use of the washing device, that is: the washing device is also being used. However, when the washing device detects through its own interface or device that its door switches from the open state to the closed state, it means that the user has taken out the object in the washing device and dried the object well, so the door of the washing device is closed. Based on this, the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the off state through its own control unit, which can save electric energy.

[0131] Here, when the door of the washing device switches from the open state to the closed state, the lighting unit needs to be turned off. In the related art, it is impossible to automatically control the lighting unit to enter the off state, resulting in a poor user experience and wasting electric energy. In this embodiment, the above process can save electric energy and avoid wasting energy.

[0132] In some embodiments, the above method further includes:

[0133] When it is detected that the washing device is in the washing end state and the door of the washing device is in the open state, control the lighting unit to enter the on state.

[0134] It can be understood that the washing device can detect its own state through its own interface or device. When it detects that it is in the washing end state and the door is in the open state, it means that the washing process has ended, and the user needs to perform subsequent work, such as taking out objects, drying, etc. To facilitate the user's subsequent drying work, the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the on state through its own control unit to provide a lighting function.

[0135] In this embodiment, through the above process, the washing device can automatically control the lighting unit to enter the on state without the user manually turning it on, which can improve the user experience.

[0136] In some embodiments, when it is detected that the washing device is in the washing end state and the door of the washing device is in the open state, controlling the lighting unit to enter the on state includes:

[0137] When the washing device is in the washing end state and the door of the washing device is in the open state, receive a descending signal sent by the clothes drying device;

[0138] Based on the descending signal, control the lighting unit to enter the on state.

[0139] It can be understood that the washing device can detect its own state through its own interface or device. When it detects that it is in the washing end state and the door is in the open state, it means that the washing process has ended. After the washing process ends, the user may be in other locations and not around the washing device. At this time, to avoid misoperation, the washing device can send the situation that it is in the washing end state and the door is in the open state to the clothes drying device, so that the clothes drying device can determine its own state when the washing device is in the washing end state and the door of the washing device is in the open state.

[0140] In this way, when the laundry equipment determines that it is in the descending state while the washing equipment is in the washing end state and the door of the washing equipment is in the open state, the laundry equipment sends a descending signal to the washing equipment. The washing equipment can receive the descending signal sent by the laundry equipment. Based on this descending signal, it can be determined that the washing process has ended, the user wants to use the laundry equipment, and the laundry equipment has been controlled to perform a descending operation. At this time, it is necessary to turn on the lighting unit to provide a lighting function. Therefore, the washing equipment controls the lighting unit to enter the on state through its own control unit according to the descending signal.

[0141] In this embodiment, through the above process, when the washing process has ended, the user wants to use the laundry equipment, and the laundry equipment has been controlled to perform a descending operation, the washing equipment can automatically control the lighting unit to enter the on state without the user manually turning on the lighting unit, which can improve the user experience. At the same time, it is possible to avoid the waste of electric energy caused by controlling the lighting unit to enter the on state when the laundry equipment does not perform a descending operation after the washing process ends.

[0142] In some embodiments, the above method further includes:

[0143] Receiving an association request sent by the terminal device through a preset application;

[0144] Establishing an association relationship with the laundry equipment based on the association request;

[0145] Wherein, when the washing equipment is in the washing end state, the laundry equipment determines its own state and sends a corresponding state detection signal to the washing equipment through the association relationship.

[0146] Here, the preset program can be an application installed in the terminal device for associating the laundry equipment with the washing equipment. At the same time, the preset program can also include the function of canceling the association of the already associated devices.

[0147] It can be understood that in order to associate the laundry equipment with the washing equipment to facilitate their interactive operations, the terminal device can send an association request to the washing equipment through a preset application.

[0148] After the washing equipment receives the association request sent by the terminal device, it establishes an association relationship with the laundry equipment based on this association request, so as to communicate with the laundry equipment subsequently and send its own state and the state of the lighting unit to the laundry equipment. In this way, when the washing equipment is in the washing end state, the laundry equipment can determine its own state and send a corresponding state detection signal to the washing equipment through the association relationship for the washing equipment to control the state of the lighting unit.

[0149] In this embodiment, through the above-mentioned association process, the execution of steps such as facilitating communication between the washing device and the clothes drying device, the clothes drying device determining its own state, and the washing device controlling the state of the lighting unit can be facilitated.

[0150] Figure 3 It is a flowchart of a control method for a washing device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 3 shown, this method is applied to control the lighting unit to enter the long-on state and mainly includes the following steps:

[0151] In step 301, when the lighting unit is in the on state, a descending signal sent by the clothes drying device is received; wherein, the descending signal is used to represent that the clothes drying device is in the descending state.

[0152] In step 302, according to the descending signal, the lighting unit is controlled to enter the long-on state.

[0153] Figure 4 It is a flowchart of a control method for a washing device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 4 shown, this method is applied to control the lighting unit to enter the off state and mainly includes the following steps:

[0154] In step 401, when the lighting unit is in the long-on state, an ascending signal sent by the clothes drying device is received; wherein, the ascending signal is used to represent that the clothes drying device is in the ascending state.

[0155] In step 402, according to the ascending signal, the lighting unit is controlled to enter the off state.

[0156] Figure 5 It is a flowchart of a control method for a washing device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 5 shown, this method is used in the clothes drying device and mainly includes the following steps:

[0157] In step 501, the state of the clothes drying device is determined, and a state detection signal is sent to the washing device so that the washing device controls the lighting unit of the washing device to enter the working state corresponding to the state detection signal; wherein, the state detection signal is used to represent the state of the clothes drying device.

[0158] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the drying device determines its own state. Since the state detection signal is used to represent the state of the drying device, it is possible to determine whether someone is using the drying device according to the state detection signal. The drying device sends the state detection signal corresponding to its own state to the washing device. The washing device receives the state detection signal sent by the drying device and can determine the state of the drying device based on this state detection signal, that is, whether someone is using the drying device. Whether the drying device is used is associated with whether the washing process of the washing device is completed and whether the lighting unit of the washing device is turned on. Based on this, the washing device controls its own lighting unit to enter the working state corresponding to the state detection signal. In this way, through the above process, this embodiment can automatically control the working state of the lighting unit without manual operation by the user, improving the user experience.

[0159] In some embodiments, determining the state of the drying device and sending a state detection signal to the washing device so that the washing device controls the lighting unit of the washing device to enter the working state corresponding to the state detection signal includes:

[0160] When the lighting unit is in the on state, determining that it is in the descending state and sending a descending signal to the washing device so that the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the long-on state according to the descending signal;

[0161] Wherein, the descending signal is used to represent that the drying device is in the descending state.

[0162] It can be understood that when the lighting unit is in the on state, the washing device can send the situation that it is in the on state to the drying device. The drying device can then determine its own state when the lighting unit is in the on state.

[0163] If the drying device determines that it is in the descending state when the lighting unit is in the on state, it means that the user needs to use the drying device and has controlled the drying device to perform the descending operation. At this time, the drying device sends a descending signal to the washing device so that the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the long-on state according to the descending signal.

[0164] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by controlling the lighting unit to enter the long-on state through the above method, it is possible to provide lighting for the user during the drying process, facilitating the user to take out the objects in the washing device and dry the objects, and can avoid missing to take, further improving the user experience.

[0165] In some embodiments, determining the state of the drying device and sending a state detection signal to the washing device so that the washing device controls the lighting unit of the washing device to enter the working state corresponding to the state detection signal includes:

[0166] When the lighting unit is in the long - on state, determine that it is in the ascending state, and send an ascending signal to the washing device so that the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the off state according to the ascending signal;

[0167] Among them, the ascending signal is used to represent that the clothes drying device is in the ascending state.

[0168] It can be understood that when the lighting unit is in the long - on state, the washing device can send the situation that it is in the long - on state to the clothes drying device. The clothes drying device can then determine its own state when the lighting unit is in the long - on state.

[0169] If the clothes drying device determines that it is in the ascending state when the lighting unit is in the long - on state, it sends an ascending signal to the washing device so that the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the off state according to the ascending signal.

[0170] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the drying process ends, the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the off state according to the ascending signal, which can save electric energy and improve the user experience.

[0171] In some embodiments, the above - mentioned method further includes:

[0172] When the washing device is in the washing - ended state and the door of the washing device is in the open state, determine that it is in the descending state, and send a descending signal to the washing device so that the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the on state according to the descending signal.

[0173] It can be understood that the washing device can detect its own state through its own interfaces or components. When it detects that it is in the washing - ended state and the door is in the open state, it means that the washing process has ended. After the washing process ends, the user may be in other locations and not around the washing device. At this time, to avoid misoperation, the washing device can send the situation that it is in the washing - ended state and the door is in the open state to the clothes drying device. The clothes drying device can then determine its own state when the washing device is in the washing - ended state and the door of the washing device is in the open state.

[0174] In this way, when the washing device is in the washing - ended state and the door of the washing device is in the open state, when the clothes drying device determines that it is in the descending state, it sends a descending signal to the washing device so that the washing device controls the lighting unit to enter the on state according to the descending signal.

[0175] In this embodiment, through the above process, when the washing device has completed the washing process, the user wants to use the drying device, and the drying device has executed the lowering operation, the washing device can automatically control the lighting unit to enter the on state without the user manually turning on the lighting unit, which can improve the user experience. At the same time, it can avoid the waste of electric energy caused by controlling the lighting unit to enter the on state when the drying device has not executed the lowering operation after the washing process is completed.

[0176] In some embodiments, the above method further includes:

[0177] Receiving an association request sent by the terminal device through a preset application;

[0178] Establishing an association relationship with the washing device based on the association request;

[0179] When the washing device is in the washing end state, determining its own state, and sending a corresponding state detection signal to the washing device through the association relationship.

[0180] It can be understood that in order to associate the drying device with the washing device and facilitate their interactive operations, the terminal device can send an association request to the drying device through a preset application.

[0181] After the drying device receives the association request sent by the terminal device, it establishes an association relationship with the washing device based on the association request, so as to communicate with the washing device subsequently and, when the washing device is in the washing end state, determine its own state, and send a corresponding state detection signal to the washing device through the association relationship for the washing device to control the state of the lighting unit.

[0182] In this embodiment, through the above association process, it is possible to facilitate the execution of steps such as communication between the drying device and the washing device, the drying device determining its own state, and the washing device controlling the state of the lighting unit.
