[0060] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0062] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and so forth (if any) in the description and claims of the present invention and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequential sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can, for example, be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0063] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described in this application as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0064] With the increasing popularity of commercial laundry services, more and more users are turning to commercial laundry equipment. Simply by initiating a laundry request and paying for the order on the laundry service platform, they can then select their desired laundry equipment and program online for laundry care. Like conventional laundry equipment, commercial laundry equipment is also equipped with an internal viewing window, making it easy for users to monitor the status of the laundry inside the tub.

[0065] However, some users do not want their washed clothes to be exposed to other people's view and disclose their privacy when using commercial washing equipment outside.

[0066] Therefore, this application proposes a method for covering the observation window of commercial washing and care equipment, mainly by setting the observation window to electrically controlled atomized glass, which is transparent when powered on and atomized when powered off. In this way, the switching of the observation window between atomization and transparency can be achieved by controlling the power on and off states of the electrically controlled atomized glass. It is worth noting that in this application, when it is determined based on the first identity information sent by the user terminal that the user terminal is using the commercial washing and care equipment for the first time, it is necessary to explain the working principle of the electrically controlled atomized glass to the user terminal, and guide the user to input the power-off duration of the electrically controlled atomized glass, and then control the electrically controlled atomized glass to be in a power-off state within the power-off duration after the start of clothing washing, so that the observation window is atomized.

[0067] The following combination Figure 1 , the application scenarios of this application are described in detail.

[0068] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a commercial cleaning equipment provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the scene includes a commercial washing and care device 110 and a user terminal 120, wherein the commercial washing and care device 110 includes an observation window 111, and the observation window 111 is an electrically controlled atomized glass.

[0069] The observation window 111 is used to observe the clothes in the commercial washing and care equipment 110. The observation window 111 is generally provided in conjunction with the commercial washing and care equipment 110 so that the user can check the washing process and results of the clothes at any time. The observation window 111 is an electrically controlled atomized glass, which can switch between transparent and atomized according to the power on and off state. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, when the power is on, the observation window 111 is transparent, and the user can observe the internal situation of the device through the observation window 111, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, when the power is off, the observation window 111 is in a fogged state, and the user cannot observe the internal situation of the device through the observation window 111.

[0070] The user terminal 120 may send the first identity information and the washing request to the commercial washing device 110 so that the commercial washing device 110 can determine whether the user terminal 120 is using the device for the first time.

[0071] If the commercial washing and care equipment 110 does not find the first identity information of the user terminal 120 in the memory, it is necessary to explain to the user terminal 120 the working principle of the electrically controlled fogging glass on the commercial washing and care equipment 110 so that the user terminal 120 can know the new functions of the equipment and prompt the user terminal 120 to set the power-off duration of the electrically controlled fogging glass.

[0072] After receiving the power-off duration set by the user terminal 120, the commercial washing and care equipment 110 will generate a privacy protection request to control the electrically controlled fogging glass to be in a power-off state within the power-off duration after the start of clothing washing, and fog the observation window 111 to protect user privacy.

[0073] The cooperation between the above devices can not only realize the switching of the observation window between the fogged state and the transparent state, but also protect the user's privacy and security through the fogged observation window.

[0074] The following specific embodiments are used to describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be implemented independently or in combination with each other. For the same or similar concepts or processes, some embodiments may not be described in detail.

[0075] Figure 3 A privacy protection method provided in this application embodiment Figure 1 .like Figure 3 As shown, the method is applied to commercial cleaning equipment, which includes an observation window, which is an electrically controlled atomized glass. The method includes:

[0076] S301: Receive first identity information and a care request sent by a user terminal.

[0077] In the above solution, when a user needs to wash clothes, he or she will send a washing request and the identity information of the user terminal. The washing request is used to instruct the commercial washing equipment to wash clothes, and the identity information is used to indicate the user's identity so that the equipment can determine whether it is a new or old user.

[0078] S302: Determine whether the memory stores the first identity information, wherein the memory stores the first identity information of the user terminal that has used the commercial cleaning equipment.

[0079] In this step, the identity information of any user terminal that has used commercial cleaning equipment will be automatically stored in the device memory, which makes it easier for the device to determine the user's identity.

[0080] S303: If not, send a first prompt message to the user terminal, where the first prompt message is used to prompt the user terminal to set a power-off duration of the electrically controlled atomized glass and explanation information of the electrically controlled atomized glass.

[0081] In the above scheme, if the identity information of the user terminal is not stored in the device memory, it means that the user terminal is using the device for the first time and is a new user. At this time, it is necessary to introduce the privacy protection function of the device to the user terminal, that is, the operating mechanism of the electric-controlled fogging glass, etc., and at the same time prompt the user to set the power-off time to protect privacy.

[0082] During the specific implementation process, in order to facilitate users to set a more appropriate power-off duration, the washing and care duration can be determined based on the washing and care request of the user terminal, and the washing and care duration can be notified to the user terminal so that the user terminal can determine the power-off duration based on the washing and care duration. Of course, multiple recommended power-off durations can also be generated based on the washing and care duration and displayed to the user terminal for the user terminal to choose independently.

[0083] S304: Obtain the power-off duration set by the user terminal, and generate a privacy protection request based on the power-off duration.

[0084] In this step, after the user terminal sets the power-off duration, the device will automatically generate a privacy protection request for the user terminal. This privacy protection request includes the power-off duration, and the device can perform privacy protection based on the privacy protection request.

[0085] During the specific implementation process, after understanding the working principle of the electrically controlled fogging glass, the user terminal may not need privacy protection, and can directly wash clothes at this time. For example, if the power-off duration set by the user terminal is not obtained, the clothes in the commercial washing equipment are washed according to the washing request, and the electrically controlled fogging glass is controlled to remain powered on to make the observation window transparent.

[0086] S305: Wash and care the clothes in the commercial washing and care equipment according to the washing and care request and the privacy protection request, and at the same time control the electrically controlled atomizing glass to be in a power-off state within the power-off time so that the observation window is atomized.

[0087] In the above solution, the commercial washing and care equipment washes and cares the clothes in the equipment based on the washing and care request of the user terminal. After the washing and care starts, the electrically controlled atomized glass is controlled to be in a power-off state within the time period set by the user terminal.

[0088] S306: If yes, determine whether the washing and care request carries a privacy protection request.

[0089] In this step, if the identity information of the user terminal is stored in the device memory, it means that the user terminal is not using the device for the first time and is an old user. At this time, there is no need to introduce the privacy protection function of the device to the user terminal. It is assumed that the user terminal knows this function. At this time, directly check whether the washing and care request carries a privacy protection request.

[0090] During the specific implementation process, some user terminals may be old users who have never used the privacy protection function. In order to prevent users from forgetting the existence of this function, these user terminals can be marked. When the marked user terminals use commercial cleaning equipment, they can be explained again.

[0091] S307: If the washing and care request does not include a privacy protection request, the clothes in the commercial washing and care equipment are washed and care according to the washing and care request, and at the same time, the electrically controlled atomized glass is controlled to remain powered on to make the observation window transparent.

[0092] In the above scheme, if there is no privacy protection request in the washing request, it is considered that the user terminal does not need privacy protection. At this time, the commercial washing equipment directly washes clothes according to the washing request, and the electrically controlled fogging glass continues to maintain the default power-on state.

[0093] S308: If the washing and care request carries a privacy protection request, obtain the power-off duration in the privacy protection request.

[0094] In this step, if there is a privacy protection request in the care request, it is considered that the user terminal needs privacy protection, and the power-off duration set by the user terminal can be obtained from the privacy protection request.

[0095] S309: Wash and care the clothes in the commercial washing and care equipment according to the washing and care request and the privacy protection request, and at the same time control the electrically controlled atomizing glass to be in a power-off state within the power-off time so that the observation window is atomized.

[0096] Same as step S305.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, first, it is determined whether the user terminal is a new user terminal through the identity information of the user terminal. If it is a new user terminal, an explanatory information that the electrically controlled fogging glass can fog after power failure to block the line of sight will be sent to the user terminal, and the user terminal will be prompted to set the power-off time of the electrically controlled fogging glass. After obtaining the set power-off time, the commercial washing and care equipment is started to wash clothes according to the washing and care request, and the electrically controlled fogging glass is controlled to be in a power-off state within the power-off time after the equipment is started, so as to block the internal situation of the commercial washing and care equipment and protect the user's privacy. If it is an old user terminal, it is directly checked whether the washing and care request sent by the user terminal carries a privacy protection request. If it carries a privacy protection request, the electrically controlled fogging glass is controlled to be powered off according to the privacy protection request while washing the clothes. If it does not carry a privacy protection request, the clothes are directly washed according to the washing and care request and the electrically controlled fogging glass is kept powered on.

[0098] The following combination Figure 4 The specific embodiments illustrate the implementation process of extending the power-off period for the user terminal after controlling the electrically controlled atomized glass to be in a power-off state within the power-off period in the privacy protection method of the present application.

[0099] Figure 4 A privacy protection method provided in this application embodiment Figure 2 .like Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0100] S401. When the remaining power-off time is the preset time, obtain the remaining washing and care time.

[0101] In this step, the power-off duration set by the user terminal may not cover the entire washing and care process, and there is still a risk of user privacy leakage. At this time, the power-off duration needs to be calibrated, and the washing and care time is more appropriate based on the calibration.

[0102] S402: Determine whether the remaining washing and care time is zero.

[0103] In the above scheme, when the power outage time is running out, the washing and care process needs to be clarified. The washing and care process can be intuitively reflected in the remaining washing and care time. Whether the remaining washing and care time is zero or not means whether the washing and care is completed or not.

[0104] S403: If yes, send a second prompt message to the user terminal, where the second prompt message is used to prompt that the electrically controlled atomized glass will resume power after a preset time.

[0105] In this step, if the remaining washing time is zero, it means that the clothes have been washed and the entire washing process protects the user's privacy very well. However, the clothes are still placed in the commercial washing equipment. If the user cannot take them away in time, there will still be a risk of leaking user privacy. It is necessary to inform the user of the remaining time of the terminal privacy protection function in a timely manner.

[0106] In order to enable the user terminal to have exclusive control over the commercial washing and care equipment, in the specific implementation process, the first identity information and the commercial washing and care equipment can be associated and stored before washing the clothes in the commercial washing and care equipment; before controlling the electrically controlled fogging glass to restore the power state, the second identity information of the user terminal is obtained, and the first identity information associated and stored in the commercial washing and care equipment is obtained; the second identity information is verified according to the first identity information, and only after the verification passes, the user terminal is allowed to control the power on and off state of the electrically controlled fogging glass.

[0107] S404: Obtain processing operation information of the user terminal for the second prompt information, where the processing operation information includes continuing privacy protection or canceling privacy protection.

[0108] In the above solution, after informing the user terminal of the remaining time that the electrically controlled atomized glass will remain in the power-off state, the user terminal will make two decisions based on its own situation: one is to continue protecting privacy, and the other is not to continue protecting privacy.

[0109] S405: If the processing operation information is to continue privacy protection, obtain the first location information of the user terminal and the second location information of the commercial washing and care equipment.

[0110] In this step, if the user terminal wants to continue to protect privacy, it is necessary to calculate the time it takes for the user to rush from the current location to the location of the device, and extend the power-off time based on this time.

[0111] S406: Determine the displacement duration according to the first position information and the second position information, and determine the on / off state of the electrically controlled atomized glass according to the displacement duration and the preset duration.

[0112] In the above scheme, after calculating the user's displacement duration based on the user's current location and the location of the device, the extended power outage time can be calculated based on the displacement duration and the remaining power outage time (i.e., the preset duration), and then the electrically controlled fogging glass can be controlled to continue to remain in the power-off state during the extended power-off time, and restore power after the extended power-off time.

[0113] S407: If the processing operation information is to cancel the privacy protection, the electrically controlled atomized glass is controlled to resume power after a preset time.

[0114] In this step, if the user terminal does not want to continue to protect privacy, the power state of the electrically controlled atomized glass is directly restored after the remaining power-off time reaches zero, making the observation window transparent.

[0115] S408: If not, determine the delayed power-off duration based on the remaining washing and care time and the preset time.

[0116] In the above scheme, if the remaining washing and care time is not zero, it means that the clothes have not been washed and cared for at this time. The user turns on the privacy protection function at least to ensure that the observation window can be blocked during the entire clothing washing process. In view of this, delayed privacy protection can be actively performed for the user terminal. At this time, the delayed power-off time can be calculated based on the remaining washing and care time and the remaining power-off time. The delayed power-off time can be the difference between the remaining washing and care time and the remaining power-off time, or it can be slightly larger than the difference.

[0117] S409: Generate and send a first fee order to the user terminal according to the delayed power outage duration.

[0118] In this step, if delayed privacy protection is to be performed for the user terminal, the user terminal will be required to pay an additional fee, and this additional fee is determined according to the length of the delayed power outage.

[0119] S410. In response to the confirmation information of the user terminal for the first fee order, after the preset time period, the electrically controlled atomized glass is controlled to continue to remain in the power-off state within the delayed power-off time period, and a second prompt message is sent to the user terminal when the remaining delayed power-off time period is the preset time period.

[0120] In the above scheme, after the user terminal pays the additional fee, it can continue to control the electric-controlled fogging glass protection power-off state after the remaining power-off time is zero, until the remaining delayed power-off time is zero. Of course, when the remaining delayed power-off time reaches the preset time again, the user terminal can be informed in advance so that the user terminal can make reasonable arrangements according to its own situation. The specific implementation method is the same as steps S404-step S407.

[0121] In an embodiment of the present application, the remaining washing time is used to determine whether the privacy protection function of the user terminal completely covers the entire washing process, and when it fails to fully cover the process, the power-off time of the user terminal is actively delayed, making the privacy protection function more intelligent and convenient, thereby improving user satisfaction with commercial washing equipment.

[0122] The following combination Figure 5 The specific embodiments illustrate the implementation process of determining the on and off state of the electrically controlled atomized glass according to the displacement duration and the preset duration in the privacy protection method of the present application.

[0123] Figure 5 A privacy protection method provided in this application embodiment Figure 2 .like Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0124] S501: Determine whether the displacement duration is greater than a preset duration.

[0125] In this step, as mentioned in the above embodiment, if the user terminal wants to continue to protect privacy, it is necessary to calculate the displacement time required for the user to rush from the current location to the location of the device, and determine the power on and off status of the electrically controlled fogging glass based on the relationship between the displacement time and the remaining power off time (i.e., the preset time).

[0126] S502: If yes, calculate the difference between the displacement duration and the preset duration, and generate and send a second fee order to the user terminal based on the difference.

[0127] In the above scheme, if the displacement duration is longer than the preset duration, it means that the electrically controlled fogging glass will be restored to the power-on state while the user is rushing from the current location to the location of the device, and there is a risk of leakage of user privacy. At this time, in order to protect the privacy security of the user before arriving at the location of the device and taking out the clothes, it is necessary to extend the power-off time for the user. The extended time can be the difference between the displacement time and the preset time.

[0128] S503: In response to the confirmation information of the user terminal for the second fee order, after the preset time period, the electrically controlled atomized glass is controlled to remain in the power-off state for the difference time period.

[0129] In this step, the second fee order is an additional fee order generated based on the difference duration. After the user terminal pays the second fee order, the electric-controlled fogging glass protection power-off state can continue to be controlled after the remaining power-off duration is zero until the remaining difference duration is zero.

[0130] S504: If not, control the electrically controlled atomized glass to resume power after a preset time.

[0131] In the above scheme, if the displacement time is less than or equal to the preset time, it means that the electrically controlled fogging glass will not be restored to the power state during the user's rush from the current location to the location of the equipment. If the user arrives in time and takes out the clothes, there will be no risk of privacy leakage. In order to encourage users to take out clothes in time to ensure the circulation and use of commercial washing equipment, the electrically controlled fogging glass can be directly restored to the power state after the remaining power-off time is zero, making the observation window transparent.

[0132] In an embodiment of the present application, by calculating the relationship between the displacement time of the user from the current location to the location of the device and the remaining power-off time, it is determined whether the electrically controlled fogging glass will be restored to the power state before the user arrives at the location of the device, thereby ensuring the privacy and security of the user during the process of traveling to the location of the device.

[0133] In summary, the privacy protection method provided by the embodiment of the present application sets the observation window to an electrically controlled atomized glass. Since the electrically controlled atomized glass is in a transparent state when powered on and in an atomized state when powered off, the switching between the atomized and transparent observation window can be achieved by controlling the power on and off state of the electrically controlled atomized glass. It is worth noting that in the present application, if it is determined based on the first identity information sent by the user terminal that the user terminal is using commercial washing and care equipment for the first time, it is necessary to explain the working principle of the electrically controlled atomized glass to the user terminal, and guide the user to input the power off duration of the electrically controlled atomized glass, and then control the electrically controlled atomized glass to be in a power off state within the power off duration after the start of clothing washing and care, so that the observation window is atomized. If it is determined based on the first identity information sent by the user terminal that the user terminal is not using commercial washing and care equipment for the first time, it is directly checked whether the washing and care request sent by the user terminal carries a privacy protection request. If it carries it, the electrically controlled atomized glass is controlled to be powered off according to the privacy protection request while washing and care for the clothes. If it does not carry it, the clothes are directly washed and care for the clothes according to the washing and care request and the electrically controlled atomized glass is kept powered on.
