[0063] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0064] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, the term "comprise" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0065] The terms "first," "second," and so forth, used herein are used to distinguish similar objects, not to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that such terms are interchangeable where appropriate, allowing embodiments of the present invention to be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and so forth generally distinguish objects of a single type, and do not limit the number of objects. For example, the first object may be one or more. Furthermore, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the connected objects.

[0066] The following combination Figures 1-8 The present invention describes a control method for a household appliance combination, a household appliance, an electronic device, and a storage medium.

[0067] Figure 1 This is one of the flow charts of the control method of the household appliance combination provided by the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is applied to the user terminal, including but not limited to the following steps:

[0068] Step 101: Receive a first operation of a user on a control interface.

[0069] Among them, household appliances include but are not limited to one or more household appliances such as refrigerators, microwave ovens, ovens, televisions, stereos, washing machines, and sweeping robots.

[0070] Among them, multiple home appliances constitute an appliance combination and establish a communication connection with the background server.

[0071] Furthermore, multiple home appliances of different numbers and types can form an appliance combination. Multiple home appliances can communicate with each other through communication modules installed on each home appliance. The home appliance combination composed of multiple home appliances is connected to the backend server through the communication module. The home appliance combination can also establish a communication connection with the backend server by communicating with the router.

[0072] It should be noted that for a home appliance combination consisting of multiple home appliances to communicate with the backend server through the communication module, each home appliance in the home appliance combination can establish a direct communication connection with the backend server. Alternatively, only one or some of the home appliances in the home appliance combination can be connected to the backend server through the communication module to establish a direct communication connection. The remaining home appliances in the home appliance combination that are not connected to the backend server can establish communication with the backend server through the home appliances that are already directly connected to the backend server, thereby achieving a communication connection with the backend server. The present invention does not limit the method of establishing a communication connection between each home appliance in the home appliance combination and the backend server.

[0073] Among them, device icons corresponding to multiple home appliances are displayed on the control interface, and the layout positions of the device icons on the control interface are related to the actual positions of the home appliances.

[0074] It should be noted that when the user terminal displays device icons corresponding to multiple home appliances on the control interface, the actual locations of the home appliances can be obtained in advance from the background server or the local storage of the user terminal, and the layout positions of each device icon on the control interface can be determined based on the actual locations of the multiple home appliances.

[0075] For example, when multiple home appliances are placed in a single row, the layout position of each device icon on the control interface can be determined by using sequential numbering; when multiple home appliances are placed in multiple rows, the layout position of each device icon on the control interface can be determined by using a labeling method similar to a digital matrix; when multiple home appliances are placed irregularly, the layout position of each device icon on the control interface can be determined by using map labeling.

[0076] This embodiment does not limit the method for determining the layout position of the device icon on the control interface.

[0077] Each function control icon corresponds to a device function of the home appliance. Accordingly, each first driving instruction pre-associated with each function control icon is used to control the home appliance to execute a corresponding device function.

[0078] The functions associated with the function control icons include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following functions: turning on, turning off, adjusting the operating temperature, switching operating modes, playing voice, playing videos, etc. Accordingly, the first driving instructions pre-associated with the function control icons are used to control the home appliance to perform, but are not limited to, turning on, turning off, adjusting the operating temperature, switching operating modes, playing voice, playing videos, etc.

[0079] For example, if function control icon A is related to turning on a home appliance, then the first drive instruction a corresponding to function control icon A is used to control the home appliance to turn on. If function control icon B is related to switching an operating mode, then the first drive instruction b corresponding to function control icon B is used to switch the operating mode of the home appliance.

[0080] The first operation is an operation in which the user triggers a function control icon on the control interface.

[0081] Specifically, the control interface of the user terminal displays device icons corresponding to multiple home appliances, with the placement of the device icons on the control interface corresponding to the actual locations of the home appliances. The control interface within the user terminal also displays at least one function control icon. After a user triggers any function control target on the control interface, i.e., performs a first operation, the user terminal receives the first operation and executes subsequent steps of the home appliance combination control method based on the first operation.

[0082] Step 102: In response to the first operation, the backend server distributes the first driving instruction to each home appliance in the home appliance combination.

[0083] The first driving instruction is associated with a function control icon on the control interface.

[0084] Specifically, the user terminal receives the first operation of the user triggering any function control icon on the control interface, and sends the first driving instruction associated with the triggered function control icon to the background server, which is forwarded to each home appliance device in the home appliance combination by the background server, thereby responding to the first operation and distributing the first driving instruction to each home appliance device in the home appliance combination through the background server.

[0085] It should be noted that the user terminal referred to in the present invention refers to a terminal device that can receive and respond to user operations, can execute the steps of the home appliance combination control method referred to in the present invention, has functions such as data connectivity, wired communication connection, or wireless communication connection, has certain data storage and processing capabilities, and can ultimately achieve control of the home appliance combination. The present invention does not limit the specific form of the user terminal.

[0086] For example, the user terminal may be one or more terminal devices such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, PDA, in-vehicle electronic device, wearable device, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook or personal digital assistant (PDA).

[0087] It should be noted that the background server referred to in the present invention refers to a device capable of receiving drive instructions sent by a user terminal and forwarding the received drive instructions to each home appliance in the home appliance combination. It has certain data storage and processing capabilities and can ultimately control the home appliance combination. The present invention does not limit the specific form of the background server.

[0088] For example, the backend server can be one or more of a cloud server, an Internet of Things platform, a data center, and an application server, and can be either a physical server or a virtualized server.

[0089] The control method for a home appliance combination provided by the present invention clearly distinguishes each home appliance of different types and models in the home appliance combination by distributing device icons related to the actual positions of multiple home appliances in the home appliance combination on the control interface of the user terminal. The user can uniformly remotely control the operation of all home appliances in the home appliance combination by triggering the function control icons in the control interface, thereby improving remote control efficiency and user operating experience.

[0090] Figure 2 This is the second flow chart of the control method of the household appliance combination provided by the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, after receiving the first operation of the user on the control interface, the method further includes:

[0091] Determining, according to the function control icon corresponding to the first operation, a device function to be controlled and executed;

[0092] Filtering a target home appliance that supports the device function from the plurality of home appliances;

[0093] Displaying a device icon corresponding to the target home appliance on the control interface;

[0094] In response to the first operation, the first driving instruction is distributed to the target home appliance through the background server.

[0095] Specifically, after the user terminal receives the first operation of the user triggering any function control icon on the control interface, it determines the device function that needs to be controlled and executed based on the device function corresponding to the function control icon, and automatically selects several home appliances that support this device function from the home appliance combination and uses them as target home appliances.

[0096] Furthermore, the layout position of the device icon corresponding to each home appliance in the home appliance combination on the control interface has been determined in advance based on the actual position of the home appliance. Then, after the user terminal determines the target home appliance, the device icon corresponding to the target home appliance is automatically displayed on the control interface, and then the home appliance that will execute the selected device function is displayed to the user, and the first drive instruction pre-associated with the function control icon is automatically distributed to all target home appliances through the background server, so as to finally enable the target home appliance to execute the device function selected by the user.

[0097] With the improvement of living standards, many families will purchase multiple smart home appliances for combined use.

[0098] First, let's take a household appliance consisting of three smart refrigerators as an example. To control the refrigerator compartment temperatures of all three smart refrigerators simultaneously, the user simply clicks the refrigerator compartment temperature adjustment function control icon on the user terminal's control interface. The user terminal automatically selects the smart refrigerators that support refrigerator compartment temperature adjustment from the three smart refrigerators based on their device functionality. The user terminal then displays the device icons for the three smart refrigerators on the control interface, prompting the user to adjust the refrigerator compartment temperatures. The user then distributes the first drive instruction for adjusting the refrigerator compartment temperature to the three smart refrigerators via the backend server.

[0099] Secondly, take an example of a home appliance combination consisting of a refrigerator, a television, an air conditioner, and a Bluetooth speaker. Now each device in the home appliance combination is on, and the user is about to go out, so the TV, air conditioner, and Bluetooth speaker except the refrigerator need to be turned off. At this time, the user directly clicks the "temporary leave off" function control icon on the control interface of the user terminal. Since the refrigerator does not need to be turned off when the user is away, after receiving the first operation of the user clicking the "temporary leave off" function control icon, the user terminal automatically filters out the TV, air conditioner, and Bluetooth speaker that can be turned off as the target home appliances, and displays the corresponding device icons on the control interface to prompt the user that the devices to be turned off are the TV, air conditioner, and Bluetooth speaker, and distributes the first drive instruction of "temporary leave off" to the TV, air conditioner, and Bluetooth speaker through the background server.

[0100] It should be noted that displaying the device icon corresponding to the target home appliance on the control interface may specifically include flashing the device icon corresponding to the target home appliance, displaying the device icon corresponding to the target home appliance in a different color, appropriately enlarging the device icon corresponding to the target home appliance, or specifically displaying it via a pop-up window. The present invention does not impose any limitation on the manner in which the device icon corresponding to the target home appliance is displayed on the control interface.

[0101] The control method for a home appliance combination provided by the present invention, after the user triggers the function control icon and selects the device function that needs to be controlled and executed on the home appliance combination, the user terminal automatically filters out home appliances that support the corresponding function in the home appliance combination as target home appliances, thereby realizing unified and batch control of the home appliance combination, and displaying the device icons corresponding to the target home appliances on the control interface of the user terminal, thereby intuitively showing the user the home appliances that are about to execute the corresponding functions and their corresponding actual locations, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0102] Figure 3 This is the third flow chart of the control method of the household appliance combination provided by the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, after displaying the device icon corresponding to the target home appliance on the control interface, the method further includes:

[0103] Displaying a list of device icons corresponding to the target home appliance in a first pop-up window on the control interface, and prompting the user to select an icon in the first pop-up window;

[0104] receiving a second operation performed by the user on the first pop-up window, where the second operation is an operation of selecting at least one device icon in the device icon list;

[0105] In response to the second operation, the first driving instruction is distributed to the target home appliance corresponding to the selected device icon through the background server.

[0106] Specifically, in one embodiment, after the user terminal receives the first operation of the user triggering the function control icon, it automatically filters the target home appliance devices that support the device function corresponding to the triggered function control icon in the home appliance combination, and displays the device icon corresponding to the target home appliance device on the control interface. It does not automatically distribute the first driving instruction to the target home appliance device, but waits for the user's second operation on the device icon before sending the first driving instruction.

[0107] That is, the user terminal displays a list of device icons corresponding to the target home appliance in a first pop-up window on the control interface and prompts the user to select an icon in the first pop-up window. After the user performs a second operation, namely, selects at least one device icon from the device icon list in the first pop-up window, the user terminal receives and responds to the second operation, distributing the first drive instruction corresponding to the function control icon triggered by the user's first operation to the target home appliance corresponding to the device icon selected by the user in the second operation.

[0108] For example, consider a household appliance system consisting of three side-by-side smart refrigerators, A, B, and C. Refrigerator A is primarily used to store pre-packaged food products, refrigerator B is primarily used to store fresh agricultural products and vegetables that need to be kept fresh, and refrigerator C is primarily used to store poultry and livestock food. Since smart refrigerators A, B, and C primarily store different items, the operating temperature requirements for the refrigerator compartments of smart refrigerators A, B, and C are also different. In this case, after the user selects the function control icon for adjusting the refrigerator compartment operating temperature, the user terminal will, upon receiving the user's second operation selecting a device icon from smart refrigerators A, B, or C, send a first drive instruction for adjusting the refrigerator compartment operating temperature to the corresponding smart refrigerator. For example, if the user triggers the first operation to control the refrigerator compartment operating temperature to 10°C and, in the second operation, selects the device icon corresponding to smart refrigerator B, the user terminal will send the first drive instruction for controlling the refrigerator compartment operating temperature to 10°C to smart refrigerator B.

[0109] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the control method of the home appliance combination provided by the present invention to be applicable only to the scenario described in this embodiment, but is intended to better illustrate that the specific operating parameters of different home appliances will change in response to different situations. Accurately controlling each home appliance in the home appliance combination requires that the operating parameters of each home appliance in the home appliance combination can adapt to its specific working conditions, which should not be regarded as a limitation of the present invention.

[0110] It should be noted that, generally speaking, the control method for a home appliance combination provided by the present invention automatically sends a first drive instruction to all target home appliances in the combination that support the device function selected by the user after receiving a first user operation. However, to better adapt to the operating conditions of each home appliance in the combination, the user can enable the receiving function of a second operation on the user terminal. In this case, the user terminal will wait for the user to perform the second operation before sending the first drive instruction to the target home appliances in the combination.

[0111] It should be noted that the method of prompting the user to select an icon in the first pop-up window may be any of text prompts, voice prompts, icon flashing prompts, border bolding prompts, shadow effect prompts, animation effect prompts, etc., and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0112] The control method of the home appliance combination provided by the present invention enables the user to select several home appliances that need to be specifically controlled to perform related functions from the home appliances that support the functions selected by the user terminal, which have been preliminarily screened out. That is, on the premise of clearly distinguishing each device in the home appliance combination, the home appliance combination can be controlled more finely, thereby improving the user's operational experience in controlling the home appliance combination.

[0113] Figure 4 This is a fourth flow chart of the control method of the household appliance combination provided by the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, when device icons corresponding to a plurality of home appliances are displayed on the control interface, the method further includes:

[0114] receiving a third operation of the user on the control interface, wherein the third operation is an operation of selecting any target device icon from all device icons;

[0115] In response to the third operation, a second pop-up window is generated on the control interface, wherein the second pop-up window displays a function control icon for controlling the home appliance corresponding to the target device icon;

[0116] receiving a fourth operation performed by the user on the second pop-up window, where the fourth operation is an operation of triggering any of the function control icons;

[0117] In response to the fourth operation, a second driving instruction is sent to the home appliance corresponding to the target device icon through the background server.

[0118] The target device icon refers to the device icon corresponding to the home appliance that the user wants to control in the home appliance combination.

[0119] In one embodiment, the user does not perform the first operation of triggering the function control icon, but instead performs the third operation of selecting any device icon from all device icons displayed on the control interface, thereby performing a single control on a certain home appliance in the home appliance combination.

[0120] Specifically, the user selects the target device icon corresponding to the home appliance that needs to be controlled on the control interface based on the actual location of the home appliance. The user terminal receives and responds to the third operation of selecting the target device icon, and generates a second pop-up window on the control interface. The generated second pop-up window displays the function control icon for controlling the home appliance corresponding to the target device icon.

[0121] Furthermore, after the user triggers any function control icon displayed on the second pop-up window, the user terminal receives and responds to the fourth operation of triggering any function control icon in the second pop-up window, and then sends the second driving instruction corresponding to the triggered function control icon through the background server to the home appliance corresponding to the device icon selected by the user in the third operation, thereby performing single control on the home appliance.

[0122] In the home appliance combination control method provided by the present invention, if a user clicks a function control icon on a control interface, the user terminal automatically selects several home appliances in the home appliance combination that support the function control icon and sends a first drive instruction to these home appliances to batch control these home appliances to perform a specific function. If the icon clicked by the user on the control interface is a device icon, the user terminal automatically displays a second pop-up window specifically for the home appliance corresponding to the target device icon, thereby controlling a single home appliance in the home appliance combination.

[0123] In one embodiment, the second pop-up window covers the control interface.

[0124] By setting the second pop-up window to cover the entire control interface, users can be prevented from accidentally touching the function control icons displayed on the control interface, while displaying more detailed basic information, function control icons and other content of the target home appliance.

[0125] The control method for a home appliance combination provided by the present invention provides the user with a second pop-up window for individually controlling the home appliance corresponding to the device icon when the user selects any device icon on the control interface, thereby enabling the user to individually control any home appliance in the home appliance combination while clearly distinguishing each home appliance in the home appliance combination, greatly improving the flexibility and accuracy of the home appliance combination control method, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0126] Based on the above embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the control method of the home appliance combination provided by the present invention further includes:

[0127] Determining an arrangement order of the plurality of household electrical appliances;

[0128] Determining, according to the arrangement order, the layout positions of the device icons corresponding to the plurality of home appliances on the control interface;

[0129] The arrangement order is determined by the order in which detection signals uploaded by each home appliance are received, wherein the detection signals are generated when a position sensor located on the home appliance detects a user passing by;

[0130] Alternatively, the arrangement order is manually set by a user.

[0131] The position sensor includes, but is not limited to, one or more sensors such as infrared sensors, microwave sensors, laser sensors, and acoustic wave sensors. Each appliance in the home appliance assembly is provided with a position sensor, which can be installed on the front door, side wall, or chassis of the appliance.

[0132] Specifically, in one embodiment, each home appliance in the home appliance combination is provided with a position sensor. When a user passes by the home appliance, the user will be detected by the position sensor. The position sensor generates a detection signal in real time and uploads the detection signal to the background server in real time through the communication module on the home appliance. The user terminal obtains the detection signal uploaded by each home appliance from the background server, and determines the arrangement order of multiple home appliances according to the sequence of these detection signals, and then determines the layout positions of the device icons corresponding to the multiple home appliances on the control interface according to the arrangement order.

[0133] In one embodiment, the user terminal stores the arrangement order of the plurality of home appliances in a local memory and / or uploads it to a backend server for the user terminal to use in generating a control interface when the user remotely controls the combination of home appliances.

[0134] In one embodiment, the detection signal is generated when a position sensor located on the home appliance detects that a user touches the position sensor.

[0135] The position sensor herein includes but is not limited to one or more sensors such as a capacitive sensor, a pressure sensor, and a touch sensor.

[0136] In one embodiment, after the user moves the actual position of any home appliance, or finds that the layout position of the device icon on the control interface does not match the actual position, the user triggers the "update icon position" function control icon on the control interface, turns on the position sensor on each home appliance, and determines the arrangement order of the multiple home appliances according to any one of the methods provided in the above embodiments, and then determines the layout positions of the device icons corresponding to the multiple home appliances in the home appliance combination on the control interface.

[0137] In one embodiment, each home appliance in the home appliance combination is affixed with a barcode and / or a QR code, and the user uses a user terminal to scan the barcode and / or QR code. The user terminal determines the arrangement order of multiple home appliances in the home appliance combination based on the order in which the user terminal scans the barcode and / or QR code.

[0138] The control method for a home appliance combination provided by the present invention determines the layout position of the device icon on the control interface according to the arrangement order of multiple home appliances in the home appliance combination, that is, the layout position of the device icon is laid out or updated on the control interface to mark the actual position of the home appliance, thereby establishing a connection between the device icon on the control interface and the actual position of the home appliance for the user, thereby enabling the user to clearly distinguish each home appliance in the home appliance combination and accurately control the home appliance.

[0139] Based on the above embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the control method of the home appliance combination provided by the present invention further includes:

[0140] At least one work task icon is also displayed on the control interface, and the work task icon is pre-associated with different work tasks;

[0141] Correspondingly, receiving a fifth operation of the user on the control interface, wherein the fifth operation is an operation of triggering any of the work task icons;

[0142] In response to the fifth operation, the background server sends a third driving instruction to the home appliance corresponding to the work task icon to drive the indicator device to cooperate with the work task to open and close; the indicator device is set on the home appliance.

[0143] A work task is a purposeful series of activities that a user can complete using a combination of home appliances, whether of the same or different types or models. For example, a work task can be one or more of the following: baking, cleaning, screening, and store display.

[0144] Among them, one work task icon corresponds to one work task.

[0145] Correspondingly, each third driving instruction for driving the indicating device to coordinate with the opening and closing of the work task is pre-associated with a work task icon corresponding to a work task.

[0146] Among them, the third driving instruction includes both a driving instruction for controlling the indicator device on a single household appliance to open and close in accordance with a work task, and a driving instruction for controlling each indicator device on multiple household appliances to open and close in accordance with a certain sequence in accordance with a work task. The third driving instruction can be either a single driving instruction or a collection of multiple driving instructions.

[0147] The indication device includes, but is not limited to, one or more of a voice indication device, a light indication device, or a combination thereof.

[0148] Specifically, the user triggers any work task icon displayed on the control interface, the user terminal receives and responds to the fifth operation of triggering the work task icon, sends the third drive instruction corresponding to the triggered work task icon to the background server, and the background server distributes it to the home appliances that jointly complete this work task, driving the indicator device set on the home appliance to cooperate with the work task to open and close.

[0149] For example, let's assume the bread baking task is a single light indicator. A user triggers the "baking" task icon on the user terminal's control page. The user terminal receives and responds to this action, sending a third drive instruction to the smart refrigerator, smart thermo-hygrometer, and smart oven.

[0150] After the smart refrigerator, smart thermometer and hygrometer, and smart oven receive the third driving instruction respectively, the smart refrigerator first controls the light indicator device to turn on and keep the light on. At this time, the light indicator devices on the smart thermometer and hygrometer and the smart oven are in the off state, thereby prompting the user to take out various materials for baking bread from the smart refrigerator.

[0151] After the user takes out various ingredients for baking bread from the smart refrigerator, the light indicator on the smart refrigerator goes out, while the light indicator on the smart thermometer and hygrometer turns on and keeps the light on. The light indicator on the smart oven remains off, prompting the user to use the smart thermometer and hygrometer to check whether the temperature and humidity of the dough are appropriate after kneading the dough.

[0152] After the user completes the dough kneading steps, the light indicator on the smart thermometer and hygrometer goes out, while the light indicator on the smart oven turns on and remains on. At this time, the light indicators on the smart refrigerator and the smart thermometer and hygrometer are off, thereby reminding the user to put the bread to be baked in the oven.

[0153] After the user puts the bread to be baked into the oven, the light indicator on the smart oven goes out, and the light combination prompts that the task of baking the bread is finally completed.

[0154] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the control method of the home appliance combination provided by the present invention to only completing the steps described in this embodiment, but is intended to better illustrate how the present invention prompts users to use the home appliance combination to complete corresponding work tasks by setting a combination of indicator devices, and should not be regarded as a limitation of the present invention.

[0155] In another embodiment, the control method of the home appliance combination provided by the present invention is used to complete the display task of the home appliance store.

[0156] Specifically, a home appliance store provides a tablet to customers entering the store. When a customer walks into the refrigerator sales area, they will see a wide variety of refrigerators of different brands, categories, and models. Since the device icons displayed on the tablet control interface are aligned with the actual placement of the refrigerators, customers can use the device icons to connect to the actual refrigerators on display, allowing them to clearly distinguish each refrigerator.

[0157] Furthermore, if the customer clicks on any device icon on the control interface, a second pop-up window will display in detail the basic information of the refrigerator corresponding to the device icon and the function control icons corresponding to the device functions that can be achieved, so that the customer can fully understand the performance parameters of the corresponding refrigerator.

[0158] In addition, if customers want to know which refrigerators in the refrigerator sales area can realize the function of remotely controlling the working temperature of the refrigerator compartment, as long as the technical staff of the store adds the instruction to control the opening and closing of the light indicator device in the first drive instruction pre-associated with the function control icon, then the customer only needs to click the "Adjust the working temperature of the refrigerator compartment" function control icon on the control interface, and the light indicator device set on the refrigerator that supports the remote control adjustment of the working temperature of the refrigerator compartment will light up, vividly showing the function of the refrigerator to the user.

[0159] The control method of the home appliance combination provided by the present invention provides an indication device on the home appliance equipment that can cooperate with the user to complete work tasks according to driving instructions.
