Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, and in particular, relates to a clothing processing equipment and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of technology, washing machines are becoming increasingly versatile, with special wash functions being one of them. However, the sheer number of options makes it difficult for users to choose a special wash program. Market solutions primarily involve adding more buttons to the front panel of the laundry machine to enable the selection of special wash programs. However, this approach not only takes up panel space but also increases user complexity. Furthermore, it fails to intelligently select a special wash program based on the user's specific needs.

[0003] With the rapid development of science and technology, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster. Users hope that washing machines can intelligently recommend the most suitable special staining programs to bring convenience to users' washing.

[0004] Chinese patent application number 201510105272.2 discloses an intelligent laundry management device and method. The device includes a clothing stain feature module, a washing program recommendation module, a storage module, and a communication module. The washing program recommendation module intelligently calculates and recommends optimal washing parameters based on the selections from the clothing stain feature module and the information stored in the storage module. The device is installed in a smart terminal, which is connected to and controls a washing machine via the communication module. This patent detects the type of stain and changes the washing parameters, which is costly and cannot intelligently recommend specific stain programs to users based on their location information.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a clothing processing device that can intelligently recommend special programs based on user location information, reduce user operation difficulty, and improve user experience. At the same time, it also provides a control method for the clothing processing device.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0008] A clothes processing device, comprising:

[0009] An acquisition module is used to obtain user location information that meets preset conditions;

[0010] A storage module pre-stores the corresponding relationship between user location information and feature types;

[0011] a recommendation module, which, based on the user location information acquired by the acquisition module, calls the special type of washing corresponding to the user location information stored in the storage module to recommend corresponding washing parameters or washing programs to the user;

[0012] The control module controls the laundry processing device to execute the recommended washing program and / or washing parameters.

[0013] Furthermore, the acquisition module counts all driving stop locations and corresponding stop durations between two washing intervals based on the driving record information to obtain user location information that meets preset conditions.

[0014] Furthermore, the user location information also includes user positioning information and corresponding stay duration obtained through a smart terminal carried by the user.

[0015] Furthermore, a comparison module is included, which compares the stay time corresponding to each driving stop location counted by the acquisition module with a preset time to obtain user location information that meets preset conditions.

[0016] Furthermore, the comparison module first obtains the driving stop location that meets the preset conditions, and then obtains the user location information and the corresponding stop duration that meet the preset conditions, so as to obtain the user location information for determining the special category.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a judgment module, which judges the driving stop location and user positioning information whose stay time is longer than the preset time according to the stay time at the driving stop location and the stay time of the user positioning information, as the priority of recommending washing parameters and washing programs.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a communication module, which is connected to the user's smart terminal and control module respectively. The communication module sends the recommended washing program and / or washing parameters to the smart terminal according to the special stain type determined by the recommendation module, and sends the user's final selection to the control module.

[0019] The basic concept of another technical solution of the present invention is:

[0020] A control method for a clothes processing device, applied with the clothes processing device as described above, comprising:

[0021] Obtain user location information that meets preset conditions;

[0022] Based on the acquired user location information, calling the special stain type corresponding to the stored user location information and recommending a washing program and / or washing parameters to the user;

[0023] Determine whether the user selects a special program. If so, control the corresponding special program to start; if not, start the special program with the highest priority after the set time.

[0024] Furthermore, the user location information includes the driving stop location and the corresponding stop duration as well as the user positioning information and the corresponding stop duration.

[0025] Furthermore, the priority of the special staining program is set to be in direct proportion to its washing parameter value, and the washing parameters at least include washing temperature and / or washing time.

[0026] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0027] (1) In the present invention, a special washing program is intelligently recommended based on the user's location information, and the recommended special washing program is sent to the user for selection as needed, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of washing.

[0028] (2) In the present invention, the special program with the highest priority is started by default when the user does not make a selection, so as to ensure the washing efficiency and meet the user's clothing cleaning needs, thereby improving the user experience.

[0029] (3) In the present invention, by linking the user's driving record, a special soaking program is intelligently recommended. Since the type of special soaking program is automatically selected by the clothing processing device, there is no need to set too many buttons on the panel, which effectively saves panel space.

[0030] (4) The present invention provides an intelligent recommendation of a special soaking program based on the user's driving stop location and the corresponding stay duration. The operation is simple. The user only needs to agree to enable the intelligent linkage driving record function, and the clothing processing device will automatically select the special soaking program.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a clothes processing device 100, comprising:

[0046] Acquisition module 1, used to obtain user location information that meets preset conditions;

[0047] Storage module 2, pre-stores the corresponding relationship between user location information and feature types;

[0048] The recommendation module 3, based on the user location information obtained by the acquisition module 1, calls the special stain types corresponding to the user location information stored in the storage module 2 to recommend corresponding washing parameters or washing programs to the user;

[0049] The control module 4 controls the laundry processing device 100 to execute the recommended washing program and / or washing parameters.

[0050] It is worth noting that this embodiment intelligently recommends special washing programs based on user location information, and sends the recommended special washing programs to the user for selection, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of washing.

[0051] Furthermore, the acquisition module 1 sends the acquired user location information to the recommendation module 3, so that the recommendation module 3 can recommend a special program in the next step.

[0052] Specifically, the acquisition module 1 acquires the user location information through various technical means, such as GPS, base station positioning, or Wi-Fi signal recognition.

[0053] It should be noted that the corresponding relationship between the user location information and the type of special stains is pre-stored in the storage module 2, and can also be adjusted by the user or maintenance personnel based on experience or the contents of the user manual.

[0054] Furthermore, the recommendation module 3 calls the special stain type corresponding to the user location information stored in the storage module 2 based on the user location information obtained by the acquisition module 1, generates corresponding washing parameters or washing programs, sends them to the user, and displays them to the user in an appropriate manner, such as SMS prompts, menu options, etc.

[0055] Preferably, the recommendation module 3 recommends corresponding washing parameters or washing programs to the user based on the user's location information. The user can choose among these washing parameters or washing programs. The control module 4 controls the clothing processing device 100 to perform laundry based on the recommended washing parameters or washing programs finally selected by the user.

[0056] Further preferably, the user can also select washing parameters or washing programs according to needs or habits in addition to the washing parameters or washing programs recommended by the recommendation module 3.

[0057] Preferably, the storage module 2 pre-stores the priorities of the special stain programs, that is, the storage module 2 first divides several special stain programs into several levels according to the types of special stains, such as oil stains and grass stains; accordingly, the priority of oil stains is higher than that of grass stains.

[0058] It should be noted that the priority of the special stain program also represents the different washing parameters. The priority of the special stain program is directly proportional to the washing parameter value. The higher the priority of the special stain program, the higher the washing parameter setting, and the better the cleaning effect on the stains.

[0059] The washing parameters of the special stain program include at least washing temperature and / or washing time.

[0060] Further preferably, the control module 4 controls the clothing processing device 100 to wash clothes according to the user's selection. After T time, the control module 4 does not receive any instructions. The control module 4 uses the special program and its washing parameters with the highest priority among the special programs and their washing parameters recommended by the recommendation module 3 to wash clothes, ensuring that the clothes can be washed clean.

[0061] This embodiment is further preferred. If the user selects the special stain program and its washing parameters of the recommendation module 3, the accuracy is further improved and the washing efficiency is improved. If the user does not make a selection, he or she may select other special stain programs and their washing parameters based on his or her own needs or habits to meet the user's needs. If the user forgets to select the special stain program recommended by the recommendation module 33, based on the consideration of washing efficiency, the clothing processing device 100 automatically selects the special stain program with the highest priority among the special stain programs recommended by the recommendation module 3 to ensure washing efficiency and prevent the problem of unclean washing.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] This embodiment is a further description of the first embodiment.

[0064] This embodiment is described by taking an example in which the acquisition module 1 obtains user authorization and checks the user's driving recorder to obtain the user's driving information.

[0065] Specifically, the acquisition module 1 counts all the driving stop locations and corresponding stop durations between two washings according to the driving record information to obtain user location information that meets the preset conditions.

[0066] Furthermore, the acquisition module 1 obtains the driving stop location and the duration of the stay at the driving stop location based on the driving record information with the user's authorization. In this embodiment, by linking the user's driving record, the cost is low and easy to implement. At the same time, it can accurately determine the places the user has visited, and can be promoted in the future.

[0067] Example 3

[0068] The difference from the second embodiment is that the acquisition module 1 also needs to obtain the user positioning information and the corresponding stay duration obtained by the smart terminal carried by the user, and further obtains the positioning information of the user's personal mobile phone on the premise of obtaining the user's driving stop location.

[0069] Specifically, the acquisition module 1 obtains all the driving stop locations of the user through the driving recorder. At the same time, the acquisition module 1 obtains the positioning information of the user's personal mobile phone during the stay time at all the driving stop locations. During the time when the user is parked, the user's mobile phone positioning is obtained. Through two positionings, the user's location is accurately determined and the accurate feature type is matched, providing more accurate information for the subsequent recommendation module 3.

[0070] The rest is the same as in Example 2.

[0071] Example 4

[0072] This embodiment is a further description of embodiments one to three.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a comparison module 5 is further included. The comparison module 5 records the vehicle stop locations with a stay time longer than a preset time according to the stay time of the vehicle stop locations obtained by the acquisition module 1.

[0074] Specifically, a preset time length is pre-set in the comparison module 5 to filter out driving stop locations with a time length shorter than the preset time length. It can be understood that if the user's stay time at the driving stop location is shorter than the preset time length, no stains will be stained and no targeted washing is required, thereby providing more accurate information for the recommendation module 3.

[0075] Example 5

[0076] This embodiment is a further description of embodiments 1 to 4.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment also includes a judgment module 6, which judges the vehicle stop location and user positioning information whose stay time is longer than the preset time according to the stay time at the vehicle stop location and the stay time of the user positioning information, as the priority of the recommended washing parameters and washing programs.

[0078] Specifically, the judgment module 6 obtains the driving stop location and the user positioning location obtained by the acquisition module 1, and further judges the stay time of the driving stop location and the user positioning location, and sends the stop location and the user positioning location with a stay time greater than the preset time to the recommendation module 3, so that the recommendation module 3 recommends to the user the priority of the special stain program or washing parameter corresponding to the special stain type.

[0079] Example 6

[0080] This embodiment is a further description of embodiments 1 to 5.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a communication module 7 is also included. The communication module 7 connects the user smart terminal and the control module 4. The communication module 7 sends recommendation information to the user smart terminal. The communication module 7 sends the special washing program or washing parameters finally selected by the user to the control module 4.

[0082] Specifically, the communication module 7 sends the special program or washing parameters recommended by the recommendation module 3 to the user's mobile phone. The user can see the corresponding special program or washing parameters on his or her mobile phone. The user can select the recommended special program or washing parameters on the mobile phone. After the user clicks, the communication module 7 can send the special program or washing parameters finally selected by the user to the control module 4. The control module 4 controls the washing machine to execute the special program or washing parameters selected by the user for washing.

[0083] Preferably, the recommended special washing programs or washing parameters are displayed on the user's mobile phone interface in the form of a list of options for the user to select.

[0084] Example 7

[0085] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a control method for a clothes processing device 100, which is applied to the clothes processing device 100 as described in the above embodiment, including:

[0086] Obtain user location information that meets preset conditions;

[0087] Based on the acquired user location information, the special washing categories corresponding to the stored user location information are called up to recommend washing programs or washing parameters to the user;

[0088] Perform the recommended washing program or washing parameters.

[0089] Furthermore, the user location information includes the driving stop location and the corresponding stop duration.

[0090] Specifically, the driving stop locations are obtained based on the driving record information, such as the driving stop locations at a hot pot restaurant and a park, and the stop durations at the hot pot restaurant and the park are also obtained. The stop duration is obtained based on the time difference between the two vehicle starts before and after stopping at the hot pot restaurant and the park.

[0091] Furthermore, based on the length of stay at the driving stop location and the length of stay of the user positioning information, the driving stop location and user positioning information with a stay time longer than the preset time are respectively judged as the priority of the recommended washing parameters and washing programs.

[0092] Specifically, determine whether the length of stay at the driving stop location is greater than the preset length of time. If so, record the driving stop location. Through the screened driving stop locations that meet the standards (the length of stay is greater than the preset length of time), query the pre-stored special stain types corresponding to the driving stop locations, query the corresponding special stain programs or washing parameters, and send them to the user's smart terminal. At the same time, they are presented to the user in the form of a list option on the user's mobile phone for the user to choose.

[0093] Furthermore, if it is determined that the duration of the driving stop at the hot pot restaurant and the park is greater than the preset duration, the two driving stop locations of the hot pot restaurant and the park are recorded.

[0094] Specifically, based on the recorded driving stops of the hot pot restaurant and the park, the corresponding special stain types are searched for: oil stains and grass stains, respectively. The corresponding oil stain programs and grass stain programs are matched, and recommended oil stain programs and grass stain programs or washing parameters are generated and sent to the user's mobile phone. The oil stain programs and grass stain programs or washing parameters are displayed on the user's mobile phone interface as a list of options.

[0095] Furthermore, it is determined whether the user has selected the recommended special program and its washing parameters. If so, the clothing processing device 100 is controlled to use the special program and its washing parameters selected by the user for washing clothes; if not, the special program with the highest priority is started.

[0096] Specifically, if the user selects the recommended oil stain program or grass stain program, the clothing processing device 100 is controlled to use the washing parameters of the recommended oil stain program or grass stain program to perform laundry, further improving the accuracy and improving the laundry efficiency.

[0097] Specifically, if the user does not select the oil stain program or the grass stain program, but selects the normal washing program according to his or her habits, the clothes processing device 100 is controlled to perform laundry according to the washing parameters of the normal washing program selected by the user.

[0098] Specifically, after the set time, if the user forgets to select the oil stain program or the grass stain program, based on the consideration of washing efficiency, the clothing processing device 100 automatically selects the oil stain program with the highest priority between the oil stain program and the grass stain program to wash, thereby ensuring washing efficiency and preventing the problem of unclean washing.

[0099] Preferably, the special treatment programs are pre-set with priorities according to the types of special treatments.

[0100] Specifically, the special stain program includes at least an oil stain program and a grass stain program, and the priority of the oil stain program is higher than that of the grass stain program.

[0101] Furthermore, the priority of the special program is set in direct proportion to its washing parameter value. The higher the priority of the special program, the larger the washing parameter value of the special program. The washing parameters include at least washing temperature and / or washing time.

[0102] Example 8

[0103] The difference from the seventh embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the user location information also includes user positioning information and corresponding stay duration obtained through the smart terminal carried by the user.

[0104] Furthermore, after first obtaining a driving stop location that meets the preset conditions, user location information and a corresponding stop duration that meet the preset conditions are obtained to obtain user location information for determining the special category.

[0105] Same as the fifth embodiment, a hot pot restaurant and a park are used as examples.

[0106] Specifically, the driving stop locations are obtained based on the driving record information, for example, the driving stop locations are obtained at a hot pot restaurant and a park, and the length of stay in the hot pot restaurant and the park is also obtained.

[0107] If it is determined that the duration of the driving stop at the hot pot restaurant and the park is greater than the preset duration, the two driving stop locations of the hot pot restaurant and the park will be recorded.

[0108] Furthermore, the user's location information in the hot pot restaurant and the park is obtained based on the user's personal mobile phone positioning. If it is determined based on the user's mobile phone positioning information that the user's stay time in the hot pot restaurant and the park is greater than the preset time, it means that the user is prone to stains in these two locations, and the user's clothes need to be specially washed.

[0109] Specifically, on the premise of determining the user's driving stop location, the positioning information of the user's personal mobile phone is further judged. Through two positionings, the user's location is accurately determined and the exact type of special stains is matched, providing more accurate information for the subsequent recommendation module 3, so that the recommendation module 3 can recommend appropriate washing programs or washing parameters.

[0110] The rest is the same as in Example 7.

[0111] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make slight changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes using the above-mentioned technical contents without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. The implementation schemes in the above-mentioned embodiments can also be further combined or replaced. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above-mentioned embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
