[0002] With the development of technology, the functions of washing machines are becoming more and more abundant, and there are more and more selectable functions. Users can independently choose more washing methods. At present, the power-on control of washing machines is relatively simple. For example, after the user puts the clothes to be washed into the washing machine, the user needs to manually operate the washing machine to control it to power on, which affects the user experience. The interaction between the user and the washing machine is poor, and the degree of intelligence of the washing machine is low.

[0003] Chinese Patent with application number 202210386275.8 discloses an intelligent control method and device for powering on a washing machine. The intelligent control method includes the following steps: obtaining the distance between the user and the washing machine; judging whether the distance between the user and the washing machine is less than a preset distance; when the distance between the user and the washing machine is less than the preset distance, determining whether the user has the intention to wash clothes; and when the user has the intention to wash clothes, controlling the washing machine to power on. In this application, the washing machine is controlled to power on by detecting the distance between the user and the washing machine and determining the user's intention. However, when the height of the approaching user does not meet the height requirement and it is detected that the user has the intention to wash clothes, controlling the washing machine to power on will cause unnecessary danger.

[0049] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in the first aspect of the present invention, a method for automatically waking up a clothing treatment device is provided, including steps S100 to S302 or steps S100 to S302'.

[0050] In step S100, when the laundry treatment device is in the shutdown state, monitor the user's tapping action.

[0051] In step S200, obtain the number of times the user taps and the time interval between two adjacent taps, and determine that both the number of taps and the time interval between two adjacent taps meet the corresponding set parameter conditions.

[0052] In step S300, wake up the laundry treatment device and control the laundry treatment device to execute the corresponding instruction.

[0053] Optionally, in step S200, if it is determined that the number of taps and / or the time interval between two adjacent taps do not meet the corresponding set parameter conditions, determine that the tapping action is invalid.

[0054] Specifically, when the laundry treatment device is in the state of shutdown and power-off, if the laundry treatment device monitors that the user has a tapping action, obtain the number of times the user taps and the time interval between two adjacent taps, and determine whether the number of taps and the time interval between two adjacent taps meet the corresponding set parameter conditions. If both the number of taps and the time interval between two adjacent taps meet the corresponding set parameter conditions, wake up the laundry treatment device and control the laundry treatment device to execute the corresponding instruction; if either the number of taps or the time interval between two adjacent taps does not meet the corresponding set parameter conditions, determine that the tapping action is invalid.

[0055] In S100, if it is determined that the vibration frequency is within the set frequency range, determine that the user has a tapping action.

[0056] Specifically, determine whether the user has a tapping action by judging the vibration frequency. If the vibration frequency is within the preset range, determine that the user has a tapping action; otherwise, determine that the user has no tapping action.

[0057] Optionally, after step S100, it includes: determining whether the user's tapping action is valid. If it is determined that the user's tapping action is valid, execute the steps after step S200; if it is determined that the user's tapping action is invalid, do not execute the subsequent steps.

[0058] Optionally, the method for determining whether the user's tapping action is valid includes steps S110 to S130.

[0059] In step S110, monitor the height of the user who makes the tapping action.

[0060] In step S120, determine that the user's height reaches the preset height.

[0061] In step S130, determine that the user's tapping action is valid.

[0062] Optionally, in step S120, if it is monitored that the user's height does not reach the preset height, determine that the user's tapping action is invalid.

[0063] Specifically, after the laundry treatment device detects that the user has a tapping action, it determines whether the tapping action issued by the user is valid based on the user's height. Specifically, when the laundry treatment device detects that the user issues a tapping action, it controls the laundry treatment device to monitor the user's height. If the user's height reaches a preset height, it determines that the user's tapping action is valid and continues to execute the subsequent steps; if it monitors that the user's height does not reach the preset height, it determines that the user's tapping action is invalid and does not execute the subsequent steps.

[0064] In step S300, after waking up the laundry treatment device, it includes steps S301 to S302 or steps S301' to S302'.

[0065] In step S301, it is determined whether the child lock of the laundry device is in the locked state.

[0066] In step S302, it controls the laundry treatment device to release the child lock and enter the standby state.

[0067] In step S300, after waking up the laundry treatment device, it also includes steps S301' to S302'.

[0068] In step S301', it is determined whether the child lock of the laundry treatment device is in the unlocked state.

[0069] In step S302', it controls the laundry treatment device to start the set washing program.

[0070] Specifically, after waking up the laundry treatment device, it monitors whether the child lock of the laundry treatment device is in the locked state. If the child lock is locked, it controls the laundry treatment device to unlock the child lock and enter the standby state, waiting to receive subsequent instructions; if the child lock is in the unlocked state, it directly controls the laundry treatment device to start the set washing program.

[0071] In this embodiment, when the laundry treatment device is in the state of power-off and shutdown, it monitors the user's tapping action. Specifically: the laundry treatment device determines whether the vibration frequency is within the set range. If the vibration frequency is within the set range, it determines that the user has a tapping action; if the vibration frequency is not within the set range, it determines that the user has a tapping action, but the tapping action is invalid, or determines that the user has no tapping action because the vibration is caused by other actions of the laundry treatment device, thus generating the vibration frequency.

[0072] In this embodiment, after detecting the user's tapping action, the tapping action of the user is determined to check whether the user's tapping action is valid. Specifically: the clothing treatment device monitors the height of the user who performs the tapping action. If the monitored height of the user reaches a preset height, it is determined that the user's tapping action is valid; if the monitored height of the user does not reach the preset height, it is determined that the user's tapping action is invalid.

[0073] In this embodiment, after determining that the user's tapping action is valid, the number of taps of the user and the time interval between two adjacent taps are obtained, and the number of taps of the user and the time interval between two adjacent taps are judged. If both the number of taps of the user and the time interval between two adjacent taps meet the corresponding set parameter conditions, the clothing treatment device is awakened and controlled to execute the corresponding instruction; if either the number of taps or the time interval between two adjacent taps does not meet the corresponding set parameter conditions, it is determined that the user's tapping action is invalid, and continuous cyclic monitoring is performed until it is determined that the user's tapping action is valid.

[0074] In this embodiment, after determining that the user's tapping action is valid and awakening the clothing treatment device, first, it is monitored whether the child lock of the clothing treatment device is in the locked state. If the child lock of the clothing treatment device is in the locked state, the clothing treatment device is controlled to unlock the child lock and enter the standby state; if the child lock of the clothing treatment device is not in the locked state, the clothing treatment device is controlled to start the set washing program, and the user can also make settings to change the program started by the clothing treatment device.

[0075] In summary, in the state where the clothing treatment device is powered off, the user's tapping action is monitored through the vibration frequency. If the vibration frequency is within the set range, it proves that the user has a tapping action. According to the monitored tapping action of the user, it is determined whether the user's tapping action is valid by whether the height of the user who performs the tapping action reaches the preset height. If the user's height reaches the preset height, it is determined that the user's tapping action is valid; after determining that the user's tapping action is valid, the number of taps of the user and the time interval between two taps are obtained, and it is judged whether the number of taps and the time interval between two taps meet the corresponding set parameter conditions. If both the number of taps and the time interval between two taps meet the corresponding set parameter conditions, the clothing treatment device is awakened; after awakening the clothing treatment device, it is monitored whether the child lock of the clothing treatment device is in the locked state. If it is in the locked state, the child lock is controlled to be unlocked, and the clothing treatment device enters the standby state; if it is in the non-locked state, the clothing treatment device is controlled to execute the set program. It should be noted that here the user can select the program that the clothing treatment device enters after awakening through settings to meet different needs of the user.

[0076] In another embodiment, the laundry treatment device first monitors whether the height of a nearby user reaches a preset height, and then monitors the user's tapping action. Specifically, when the laundry treatment device detects that a user is approaching, it monitors the user's height. If the height reaches the preset height, it determines whether the user has a tapping action by judging whether the vibration frequency in the set area of the laundry treatment device is within the set frequency range; if the monitored height of the user does not reach the preset height, it does not monitor the user's tapping action. If it is determined that the user has a tapping action, it obtains the number of taps of the user and the time interval between two taps, and judges whether the number of taps and the time interval between two taps meet the corresponding set parameter conditions. If both the number of taps and the time interval between two taps meet the corresponding set parameter conditions, the laundry treatment device is woken up; after waking up the laundry treatment device, it monitors whether the child lock of the laundry treatment device is in the locked state. If it is in the locked state, it controls the child lock to be unlocked, and the laundry treatment device enters the standby state; if it is in the unlocked state, it controls the laundry treatment device to execute the set program. It should be noted that here the user can select the program that the laundry treatment device enters after waking up through settings to meet different needs of the user.

[0077] As Figure 4 shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, during the execution of the washing program, the laundry treatment device enters the standby state, including step S400.

[0078] In step S400, it monitors that the user has a tapping action, wakes up the laundry treatment device, and displays the program being executed.

[0079] Optionally, in S400, S110 - S130 are executed to monitor and determine that the user's tapping action is valid.

[0080] In this embodiment, during the execution of the washing program, the laundry treatment device is in the standby state. When it detects that the user has a tapping action, it determines whether the user's tapping action is valid, and wakes up the laundry treatment device according to the determination result, and displays the program being executed. Specifically, it determines whether the user has a tapping action by judging whether the vibration frequency is within the set frequency range. If the vibration frequency is within the set frequency range, it determines that the user has a tapping action, and then monitors the height of the user who makes the tapping action. If the user's height reaches the set height, it determines that the user's tapping action is valid, and then wakes up the laundry treatment device and displays the program being executed. In another embodiment, first, the user's height is monitored. If the height reaches the preset height, the user's tapping action is monitored through the vibration frequency, and the laundry treatment device is woken up by the user's single tapping action, and the program being executed by the laundry treatment device is displayed.

[0081] In the second aspect of the present invention, a laundry treatment device is provided, which applies the method for automatically waking up the above-mentioned laundry treatment device.

[0082] Furthermore, the clothing treatment device is provided with:

[0083] a vibration sensor for monitoring the vibration generated by the user's tapping;

[0084] a judgment module for judging whether the user's tapping action is effective;

[0085] a control unit for controlling the clothing treatment device to execute corresponding instructions according to the monitoring result of the vibration sensor and the judgment result of the judgment module.

[0086] Preferably, the clothing treatment device is further provided with a monitoring device for monitoring the user's height.

[0087] It should be noted that the vibration sensor, judgment module, control unit and monitoring device of the clothing treatment device of the present application are provided with separate circuit boards, which can ensure that each module can continuously maintain power supply and be in a standby state when the clothing treatment device is powered off.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the clothing treatment device is powered off, the vibration sensor monitors the user's tapping action, and determines whether the user has a tapping action by judging whether the vibration frequency is within the set frequency range. If the vibration frequency is within the set frequency range, it is determined that the user has a tapping action; then the clothing treatment device monitors the height of the user who makes the tapping action through the monitoring device, and judges whether the user's tapping action is effective through the judgment module. The monitoring device monitors the height of the user who makes the tapping action. If the user's height meets the set height, it is determined that the user's tapping action is effective, and then the number of taps of the user and the time interval between two adjacent taps are obtained, and the number of taps and the time interval between two adjacent taps are judged. If both the number of taps and the time interval between two adjacent taps meet the corresponding set parameter conditions, the clothing treatment device is awakened.

[0089] In this embodiment, after the clothing treatment device is awakened, the clothing treatment device monitors whether the child lock is in the locked state. If the child lock is in the locked state, the control unit controls the clothing treatment device to unlock the child lock and enter the standby state; if the child lock is in the unlocked state, the control unit controls the clothing treatment device to execute the default program or the program executed after the clothing treatment device is awakened by the user setting.

[0090] In another embodiment, during the execution of the washing program, the clothing treatment device is in the standby state. The clothing treatment device determines whether the user has a tapping action by monitoring the vibration frequency, and monitors the height of the user who makes the tapping action. If the height reaches the set height, it is determined that the user's tapping action is effective, and the user awakens the clothing treatment device through a single tapping action and displays the program being executed.

[0091] In the present invention, the height monitoring of the user can be performed after monitoring the tapping action of the user, and the effectiveness of the tapping action can be determined by monitoring the height of the user who makes the tapping action; it can also be performed before monitoring the tapping action of the user, and by monitoring the height of the user close to the laundry treatment device, it can be determined whether to monitor the tapping action made by the user.

[0092] The laundry treatment device in the present invention is awakened by an effective tap of the user, which solves the problem that the user experience is poor when the user wakes up the laundry treatment device by pressing a button or touching the screen, affects the user experience, optimizes the interaction experience between the user and the laundry treatment device, and improves the intelligence level of the laundry treatment device.

[0093] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and there is no limitation in any form to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art of this patent can make some changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes by using the technical content prompted above within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced, but as long as the content does not depart from the technical solution of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the present invention.
