[0014] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0015] It should be noted that the headings of any section / subsection provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this document, and embodiments of any type may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any way with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0016] In this document, unless explicitly stated otherwise, performing a step in response to A does not mean that the step is performed immediately after A, but may include one or more intermediate steps.

[0017] It should be noted that the acquisition, storage, and application of user personal information involved in the technical solution disclosed herein comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations and do not violate public order and good morals.

[0018] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0019] As briefly mentioned earlier, items pass through multiple stages during processing or logistics. For example, in bulk garment washing and care operations, clothes sequentially pass through disinfection rooms, laundry rooms, washing machines, and dryers, undergoing processes such as disinfection, overall washing, spot cleaning, drying, and ironing at each location. During these processing stages, clothes are prone to loss, requiring maintenance personnel to search for them at various locations. Failure to promptly pinpoint the location of the clothes can easily lead to loss or damage.

[0020] Currently, various laundry and care platforms compensate customers for lost or damaged clothing. For these platforms, compensation represents a significant expense; for customers, the amount often falls short of their expectations. When valuable items are lost or damaged, customers may file complaints due to dissatisfaction with the handling of the situation, leading to a negative customer experience.

[0021] This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for reporting location anomalies to address, or at least partially address, the aforementioned problems and other potential issues present in conventional solutions. According to various embodiments of this disclosure, by coupling the apparatus to an object, the apparatus can acquire location information indicating the object's current geographical location and duration information indicating the object's stay at that location. The location information and duration information are then compared with at least one preset location and a preset duration corresponding to that preset location. When the location information is inconsistent with at least one preset location or the duration information exceeds the preset duration corresponding to the object's current geographical location, the apparatus sends an alert indicating an abnormal object location to an external device (e.g., a server, computer, mobile phone, etc.) to remind maintenance personnel to conduct timely checks, thereby reducing the possibility of object loss or damage.

[0022] The following description will detail exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. For ease of description, clothing to be washed and cared for will be used as an example of the subject of this disclosure, and possible positional abnormalities that may occur during the washing and caring process and how to report such abnormalities will be explained. However, it should be understood that the methods and apparatus of this disclosure can also be applied to the operation or flow of any other suitable objects, and this disclosure does not limit this application.

[0023] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 that can be implemented according to embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, in environment 100, a device 200 for reporting location anomalies is connected to clothing 120 and is adapted to move with clothing to different locations (or areas) 110a, 110b, 110c... For example, when clothing 120 is undergoing washing and care treatment, device 200 can move with clothing 120 to different functional areas. In some embodiments, clothing 120 sequentially passes through areas such as a disinfection room, laundry room, washing machine, and dryer to perform corresponding disinfection, overall cleaning, spot cleaning, and drying and ironing operations in different areas to complete the cleaning process of clothing 120.

[0024] In some embodiments, the specific cleaning process for each garment can be determined based on the garment's attribute information. This attribute information may include the garment's type (e.g., shirt, pants), material (e.g., cotton, linen, leather), and degree of soiling. Based on this attribute information, a cleaning mode can be determined for each garment. This includes at least setting the cleaning operations required for the garment (i.e., the areas the garment needs to enter), the order of these operations (i.e., the order in which the garment enters multiple areas), and the duration of each operation (i.e., the time the garment needs to remain in each area). By using specific cleaning modes, each garment can be specifically cleaned and cared for, thereby improving the cleaning and care effect and reducing damage during the cleaning process.

[0025] Figure 2 A simplified schematic diagram is shown of a device 200 for reporting location anomalies according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. For example... Figure 2As shown, the device 200 includes a location determination module 210, a duration determination module 220, a parameter determination module 230, and an early warning module 240. The location determination module 210 is configured to determine the location information of the clothing's current geographical location. The duration determination module 220 is configured to determine the duration information of the clothing's stay at the current geographical location. The parameter determination module 230 is configured to determine at least one preset location and at least one preset duration corresponding to the preset location based on the clothing's attribute information. The early warning module 240 compares whether the location information is consistent with at least one preset location and / or whether the duration information exceeds the preset duration corresponding to the current geographical location.

[0026] In some embodiments, since the clothes need to come into contact with water during the washing and care process, the device 200 connected to the clothes also includes a waterproof module 250. For example, the waterproof module 250 covers the outside of the parameter determination module 230, the position determination module 210, the duration determination module 220, etc., and provides waterproof protection for the above modules.

[0027] In some embodiments, the device 200 further includes a connection module 260, which is coupled to the waterproof module 250 and connected to the clothing by means of magnetic attraction, snap fasteners, etc., thereby facilitating quick installation and removal of the device from the clothing.

[0028] The units included in device 200 can be implemented in various ways, including software, hardware, firmware, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, one or more units may be implemented using software and / or firmware, such as machine-executable instructions stored on a storage medium. In addition to or as an alternative to machine-executable instructions, some or all of the units in device 200 may be implemented at least partially by one or more hardware logic components. By way of example and not limitation, exemplary types of hardware logic components that may be used include field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), application-specific standard products (ASSPs), system-on-a-chip (SoCs), complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), and so on.

[0029] Figure 3 A block diagram of a method 300 for reporting location anomalies according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Figure 3 As shown, method 300 can be implemented at the second device 200. The following references... Figure 1 Environment 100 and Figure 2 The method 300 is described by means of the apparatus 200.

[0030] In box 310, device 200 determines at least one preset position of the object and at least one preset duration corresponding to the preset position based on the object's attribute information.

[0031] In some embodiments, the device 200 determines at least one preset location of the object and at least one preset duration corresponding to the preset location based on the attribute information of the clothing; the attribute information of the clothing may include the type, material, and degree of soiling of the clothing. In some embodiments, the at least one preset location includes a disinfection location for disinfecting the clothing, a first washing location for overall washing of the clothing, a second washing location for partial washing of the clothing, a drying location for drying the clothing, and an ironing location for ironing the clothing, etc.

[0032] In some embodiments, the attribute information of the clothing can be determined manually, for example, by a worker inspecting the clothing to be washed to determine the attribute information of the clothing. Then, the device 200 determines the washing process of the clothing to be washed based on the attribute information of the clothing (that is, at least one preset position that the clothing needs to pass through and at least one preset time corresponding to the preset position).

[0033] In some embodiments, the attribute information of clothing can also be automatically determined. For example, the passing clothing can be detected using methods such as visual detection technology to determine the attribute information of the clothing and further determine the washing and care process for the clothing to be washed.

[0034] In some embodiments, at least one preset position of the clothing and at least one preset duration corresponding to the preset position can be determined by other external devices different from the device 200, and at least one preset position and at least one preset duration corresponding to the preset position can be input into the device 200 by communication means such as near-field identification communication technology.

[0035] In frame 320, device 200 acquires location information of the geographic location of the indicated object and duration information of the duration the indicated object stays at the geographic location.

[0036] In some embodiments, the location determination module 210 of the device 200 sends the acquired location information indicating the current geographical location of the clothing to the warning module 240, and the duration determination module 220 sends the duration information indicating the clothing's stay at the current location to the warning module 240.

[0037] In some embodiments, the duration determination module 220 starts timing when the garment reaches a certain washing and care area (i.e., when the position of the garment remains unchanged). The duration determination module 220 stops timing when the current position of the garment begins to change again (e.g., when the garment leaves the current washing and care area), and starts timing again when the position information of the garment remains unchanged again.

[0038] In some embodiments, the duration determination module 220 can continuously maintain the timing state while the clothes are moving within a predetermined range centered on the current position, thereby avoiding repeated timing due to the small-range movement of the clothes within a certain washing and care area.

[0039] In box 330, device 200 issues a warning message for an object in response to a location information that is inconsistent with at least one preset location and / or a duration information that exceeds a preset duration corresponding to a geographic location.

[0040] In some embodiments, when the current location information of the device 200 does not belong to any preset location (i.e., it is not currently in any washing and care area), it can be considered that the clothing is currently in an abnormal state, and the warning module 240 can issue a warning message to remind staff to pay special attention to or check the clothing in a timely manner.

[0041] In some embodiments, the preset location may be a defined area. When the current location information of the device 200 falls within this defined area, it is considered that the current location information of the device 200 is consistent with the preset location.

[0042] It should be understood that the preset duration corresponding to the geographical location in this disclosure refers to the preset duration corresponding to the preset location matched by the current geographical location of the device. For example, the preset location matched by the current geographical location of device 200 is the drying area, and the preset duration of the drying area is 2 minutes. Therefore, if the clothing (i.e., device 200) remains in the drying area for more than 2 minutes (duration information), the clothing position is considered abnormal, and the device enters an early warning state. The early warning module 240 can issue an early warning message to remind staff to pay close attention to or promptly inspect the clothing. This reduces the risk of clothing damage caused by prolonged exposure to a particular washing and care process.

[0043] In some embodiments, the device 200 can communicate with external devices, and the early warning module 240 can send early warning information to the external devices. In some examples, the external devices may include remote servers, personal computers, and mobile devices such as mobile phones. By sending early warning information to external devices, relevant personnel can be alerted, enabling them to respond promptly to abnormal situations.

[0044] In some embodiments, the device 200 further responds to a location information that is inconsistent with a preset location and / or a duration information that exceeds a preset duration corresponding to a geographic location by sending first location information indicating the current location of the object to an external device.

[0045] While sending warning information to external devices, device 200 can also send primary location information indicating the current position of the clothing to external devices. This facilitates timely determination of the clothing's location by staff.

[0046] In some embodiments, the device 200, in response to obtaining location information of the object that is consistent with a preset location and duration information that does not exceed a preset duration corresponding to the preset location within a buffer period after issuing the warning information, issues a warning cancellation information for the object.

[0047] In response to not acquiring location information consistent with a preset location and duration information not exceeding a preset duration corresponding to the preset location within a buffer period after issuing a warning message, device 200 issues a warning message for the object. The warning message includes at least one of the following: second location information indicating the object's current location, visual cue information, auditory cue information, and tactile cue information.

[0048] When device 200 issues a warning message, it enters a warning state. At this time, device 200 starts timing. If, within the buffer time, the current location information of the clothing is detected again to match the preset location (e.g., the current location information of the clothing is within the area of ​​the preset location) and the duration does not exceed the preset duration corresponding to the preset location, then it is determined that the clothing has returned to the normal washing and care process. At this time, device 200 issues a warning cancellation message and removes the warning state.

[0049] If, within the buffer period, the current location information of the clothing does not match the preset location (e.g., the current location information of the clothing is within the area of ​​the preset location) and the duration does not exceed the preset duration corresponding to the preset location, it can be determined that the location or washing status of the clothing is abnormal. The device 200 issues a warning message and upgrades from a pre-warning state to a full alert state. This reminds staff to promptly check the location and washing status of the clothing, thereby reducing the possibility of clothing loss or damage caused by prolonged washing time in a certain area.

[0050] When staff remotely monitor the washing and care process of clothes through external devices, if the clothes turntable malfunctions (i.e., the location information is inconsistent with at least one preset location and / or the duration information exceeds the preset duration corresponding to the preset location matched with the current geographical location of the object), the device 200 enters a warning state. When the device 200 exceeds the buffer time in the warning state, the warning state of the device 200 is upgraded to an alarm state and a warning message is issued.

[0051] In some embodiments, the warning information includes at least one of the following: second location information indicating the current location of the object, visual cues, auditory cues, and tactile cues. In some embodiments, the device 200 further includes at least one of a light module, a sound module, and a vibration module. When the device 200 enters a warning state, it can control the operation of the light module, sound module, vibration module, etc., to emit visual, auditory, and tactile cues. This allows staff to quickly locate the current position of the clothing.

[0052] In some cases, when the position of the clothing becomes abnormal, device 200 issues a warning, and the position of the clothing does not change again during the subsequent buffer period. In this case, the first position information and the second position information are the same. In other cases, during the buffer period after device 200 issues the warning, the position information of the clothing continues to change continuously. In this case, the second position information is different from the first position information. When searching for the clothing, staff can infer the movement trajectory of the clothing based on the second position information and its change relative to the first position information, thereby quickly and accurately determining the position of the clothing.

[0053] In some embodiments, in response to a discrepancy between the location information and the first working range, the device 200 acquires the location information of the current geographical location of the indicated object at predetermined time intervals and sends the location information to an external device.

[0054] In some embodiments, after the garments are washed and cared for in the washing and care area, they are packaged and transported to the customer from the washing and care work area (also referred to as the garment's predetermined work area). At this time, the device 200 connected to the garment moves along with the garment. When the device 200 detects that the current location information is inconsistent with the first work area (i.e., the garment's current location is not within the washing and care work area), the device 200 can switch from an in-factory mode to an out-of-factory mode. In out-of-factory mode, the device 200 can send location information indicating the garment's current geographical location to an external device at predetermined time intervals, thereby monitoring the garment's logistics trajectory during its transport from the washing and care work area to the customer. The device 200 can send location information to the external device at predetermined intervals, and can then monitor the garment's logistics trajectory based on this location information, so that the garment can be accurately delivered to the customer, reducing the possibility of garment loss.

[0055] In some embodiments, once the customer receives the goods, they can confirm receipt on the software, at which point the washing and care process for the clothes ends, the device 200 receives an end command, and the connection module 260 disconnects from the clothes.
