[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0025] Understandably, the current technology for dual-line clothes drying racks is not very intelligent. Their control methods are still at a relatively basic manual operation stage. Users need to manually control different single lines, which makes it impossible to achieve unified coordination and intelligent linkage management of dual-line clothes drying racks. There are obvious shortcomings in intelligent sensing, automatic control and environmental adaptation, which affects the user experience.
[0026] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention receives control operation signals, performs delayed initial monitoring and capturing, and acquires initial capturing data. The initial capturing data is then identified to determine the current control environment, current user location, and current user height. Based on the current user location, either the first or second clothes drying rack is selected from the dual-line drying racks, and initial single control is performed on the selected rack based on the current control environment and current user height. Subsequent monitoring and capturing are then performed to acquire subsequent capturing data, which is then identified to determine if a control adjustment scenario exists. If a control adjustment scenario exists, subsequent dual control is performed on both the selected and unselected clothes drying racks, and after a preset default duration, return control is performed. This delayed initial monitoring and capturing, identification of the current control environment, current user location, and current user height, initial single control of the selected clothes drying rack, subsequent monitoring and capturing, identification and determination of control adjustment scenarios, and subsequent dual control and return control of the first and second clothes drying racks effectively improve the intelligent sensing, automatic control, and environmental adaptation capabilities of the dual-line clothes drying rack, thereby enhancing the user experience.
[0027] Figure 1 A flowchart of the method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0028] Specifically, the power control method for the integrated module of the dual-line clothes drying rack includes the following steps: Step S101: Receive control operation signal, perform delayed initial monitoring and shooting, and acquire initial shooting data.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, when the current user performs any click operation on the touch panel, a control operation signal is triggered. By receiving the control operation signal and determining the lag period, an initial monitoring command is generated after the lag period, and then the initial monitoring command is responded to to perform the delayed initial monitoring and shooting to obtain the initial shooting data.
[0030] Understandably, the initial monitoring and shooting process involves binocular imaging.
[0031] Specifically, Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating the delayed initial monitoring and capturing process in the method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, receiving the control operation signal, performing delayed initial monitoring and capturing, and acquiring initial capturing data specifically includes the following steps: Step S1011: Receive control operation signal; Step S1012: Determine the lag period; Step S1013: Generate an initial monitoring command based on the lag period; Step S1014: In response to the initial monitoring command, perform delayed initial monitoring and capture to obtain initial capture data.
[0033] Specifically, the lag time period is determined dynamically based on historical data of user operation habits or preset default values. For example, a default lag time range (such as 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds) can be built in and adaptively adjusted according to the average response interval of the user's previous multiple operations. The "latency generation of initial detection command" is implemented by an independent timing control module. After receiving the control operation signal, the module starts an internal timer and sends a trigger signal to the image acquisition device (binocular camera) after the latency period is reached.
[0034] Furthermore, the power control method for the dual-line clothes drying rack integrated module also includes the following steps: Step S102: Identify the initial shooting data to determine the current control environment, current user location, and current user height.
[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the current control environment is determined by performing environmental brightness recognition on the initial shooting data, the current user position is determined by performing user location recognition on the initial shooting data, and the current user height is determined by performing user height recognition on the initial shooting data.
[0036] It is understandable that since the initial shooting data was obtained through binocular shooting, the current user's height can be identified through the principle of binocular recognition.
[0037] Specifically, Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating the identification of initial captured data in the method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, identifying the initial shooting data and determining the current control environment, current user location, and current user height specifically includes the following steps: Step S1021: Perform ambient brightness recognition on the initial shooting data to determine the current control environment; Step S1022: Perform user location identification on the initial shooting data to determine the current user location; Step S1023: Perform user height recognition on the initial shooting data to determine the current user height.
[0039] Specifically, the "ambient brightness recognition" is achieved by performing grayscale value statistical analysis on the image pixels of the initial shooting data. Specifically, the image can be divided into multiple regions, and the overall average brightness can be calculated or the average brightness of a specific region (such as the core area of user activity) can be selected as the ambient brightness feature value. The "user height recognition based on initial shooting data" can be achieved using the principle of binocular vision. By simultaneously acquiring images from two cameras, the positions of the user's head and feet in the image can be identified. Combining known binocular camera parameters (such as focal length and baseline distance) and camera calibration data, the coordinates of the user's head and feet in three-dimensional space can be determined through parallax calculation, thereby calculating the user's actual height.
[0040] Furthermore, the power control method for the dual-line clothes drying rack integrated module also includes the following steps: Step S103: Based on the current user location, select either the first or second clothes drying rack from the dual-line clothes drying racks, and perform initial single control on the selected clothes drying rack according to the current control environment and the current user height.
[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the current user's location, a first clothes drying rack or a second clothes drying rack is selected from the dual-line clothes drying racks. The second clothes drying rack is located directly above the current user's location. Simultaneously, the clothes drying descent height is planned according to the current user's height. Then, based on the previous control environment, it is determined whether ambient lighting is needed. If it is determined that ambient lighting is not needed, the selected clothes drying rack is directly lowered according to the clothes drying descent height. If it is determined that ambient lighting is needed, the selected clothes drying rack is controlled for both lighting and descent according to the clothes drying descent height.
[0042] Specifically, Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating the initial single control of a selected clothes drying rack in the method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of selecting either a first or second clothes drying rack from the dual-line clothes drying racks based on the current user location, and performing initial single control on the selected clothes drying rack based on the current control environment and the current user height, specifically includes the following steps: Step S1031: Based on the current user location, select either the first or second clothes drying rack from the dual-line clothes drying racks; Step S1032: Plan the clothes-drying height according to the current user's height; Step S1033: Determine whether ambient lighting is required based on the current control environment; Step S1034: When ambient lighting is not required, the selected clothes drying machine is directly lowered according to the clothes drying height. Step S1035: When ambient lighting is required, the selected clothes drying machine is illuminated and its descent is controlled according to the clothes drying descent height.
[0044] Specifically, based on the current user location, select either the first or second clothes drying rack from the dual-line drying rack options. The specific steps include: The current user location information is obtained by performing user location identification on the initial shooting data; the current user location coordinates are then extracted from the current user location information. The preset installation position and spatial layout parameters of the first clothes drying rack are obtained from the initial shooting data; the center coordinates and effective working area boundary parameters of the first clothes drying rack are obtained from the preset installation position and spatial layout parameters of the first clothes drying rack to obtain the position parameters of the first clothes drying rack; the center coordinates and effective working area boundary parameters of the second clothes drying rack are obtained in the same way to obtain the position parameters of the second clothes drying rack. Using the current user's location coordinates and the location parameters of the first clothes drying rack, the relative positional relationship between the current user's location and the first clothes drying rack is calculated through spatial geometric relationships to verify whether the current user is within the effective working area of the first clothes drying rack and to obtain the effective projection state of the first clothes drying rack. Using the current user's location coordinates and the second clothes drying rack's location parameters, the relative positional relationship between the current user's location and the second clothes drying rack is calculated through spatial geometric relationships to verify whether the current user is within the effective working area of the second clothes drying rack and to obtain the effective projection state of the second clothes drying rack. By comparing the effective projection states of the first clothes drying rack and the second clothes drying rack, the clothes drying rack whose effective working area best matches the current user's location is determined, and a priority selection mark is obtained. The first and second clothes drying racks can be selected by prioritizing the selection indicator.
[0045] Furthermore, by obtaining the user's location coordinates and the preset spatial parameters of the first and second clothes drying machines, the present invention calculates the relative positions of the user and the first and second clothes drying machines using spatial geometric relationships, thereby determining whether the user is in their respective effective working areas, and comparing the effective projection states of the two, and finally intelligently selecting the most suitable clothes drying machine based on the priority selection identifier, the present invention realizes adaptive device selection based on the user's real-time location, significantly improving the system's response accuracy and ease of operation, and enhancing the naturalness of human-computer interaction and scene adaptability.
[0046] Specifically, based on the current control environment, determine whether ambient lighting is needed. The specific steps include: Based on the initial shooting data, the ambient brightness is identified to obtain the current ambient brightness dataset; Based on the preset main brightness parameters, the ambient brightness feature values are extracted from the current ambient brightness dataset. By pre-setting the baseline brightness threshold under typical indoor lighting conditions based on user operation requirements under different environmental conditions in historical data, the baseline brightness reference value for the current scene is obtained. Within a preset comparison time, the ambient brightness characteristic value is compared with the reference brightness value of the current scene: if the ambient brightness characteristic value is continuously lower than the reference brightness value within the preset comparison time, and the difference between the ambient brightness characteristic value and the reference brightness value of the current scene exceeds the preset tolerance range, then a preliminary judgment result of the ambient lighting requirement is generated. Using the current user location information, the selected clothes drying rack's preset installation location, and the selected clothes drying rack's spatial layout parameters, the vertical projection relationship between the current user and the selected clothes drying rack is calculated through spatial geometric relationships to obtain the user's projected position; Based on the user's projection position and current height, the system uses preset effective operating area boundary parameters to determine whether the current user is located within the effective operating space below the selected clothes drying rack, and generates a confirmation result of the effective lighting area. If both the preliminary assessment of ambient lighting needs and the confirmation of the effective lighting area are affirmative, then ambient lighting is deemed necessary; otherwise, it is not.
[0047] Furthermore, this invention comprehensively analyzes ambient brightness and user location. First, based on a continuous comparison of a preset brightness threshold and real-time ambient brightness data, it initially determines that lighting needs to be turned on when the light is insufficient and exceeds the tolerance range. Then, by combining the user's projection position and height information, it accurately determines whether the user is within the effective operating space under the clothes drying rack. Finally, it combines lighting requirements with user location verification, and only activates ambient lighting when both conditions are met. This avoids energy waste caused by ineffective lighting, ensures user safety and convenience in low-light conditions, and improves the system's environmental adaptability and intelligent service level.
[0048] Furthermore, the acquisition of the "reference value of the current scene's baseline brightness" can be achieved in advance by experimentally determining the comfortable brightness threshold for users to perform clothes-drying operations under different typical weather conditions (such as sunny days, cloudy days, and nights) and different indoor lighting conditions. A lookup table is then constructed and stored in the system. The system matches the corresponding baseline brightness reference value from the lookup table based on real-time time information or by making a preliminary judgment on the approximate weather conditions through image recognition.
[0049] Specifically, the "planning the clothes drying height according to the current user's height" can be achieved through formulaic logic: Clothes drying height = User height × Adjustment coefficient + Base height offset; The adjustment coefficient can be set according to the general ratio of the average length of a user's arm to their height (e.g., 0.6~0.8). The base height offset is a preset constant value used to compensate for the expected operating space between the user's arm and the clothesline when the user raises their arm. This height planning ensures that the clothesline is lowered to a comfortable height for the user to hang and retrieve clothes.
[0050] Specifically, using the current user location information, the selected clothes drying rack's preset installation location, and the selected clothes drying rack's spatial layout parameters, the vertical projection relationship between the current user and the selected clothes drying rack is calculated through spatial geometric relationships to obtain the user's projected position. Specific steps include: A relative spatial coordinate system is constructed based on the current user location information and the preset installation location of the selected clothes drying rack; In the relative spatial coordinate system, the spatial layout parameters of the first clothes drying rack are used as the projection baseline; the current user's location information is mapped to the relative spatial coordinate system through coordinate transformation to obtain the user's relative coordinates; Using the projection baseline and the user's relative coordinates, the vertical projection point of the user's position on the projection baseline is calculated through spatial vector relationships to obtain the coordinates of the vertical intersection point; Calculate the projection components of the vertical intersection point coordinates along the projection baseline direction, compare the projection components with the starting and ending coordinates of the projection baseline to determine whether the vertical intersection point actually falls within the line segment range of the projection baseline, and determine the positional relationship between the vertical intersection point coordinates and the projection baseline. The effective projection range is determined based on the selected clothes drying rack spatial layout parameters; the positional relationship between the vertical intersection point coordinates and the projection baseline, as well as the effective projection range, is used to verify whether the vertical intersection point is located within the selected clothes drying rack's effective working area, and the verification result of the projection point's validity is obtained; after the verification is passed, the vertical intersection point coordinates are converted in reverse to the actual projection position in the space to obtain the actual projection position; the actual projection position is used as the user's projection position.
[0051] Furthermore, this invention constructs a relative spatial coordinate system centered on the clothes dryer, accurately mapping the user's actual position to relative coordinates. It then uses spatial vector relationships to calculate the user's vertical projection point on the clothes dryer's projection baseline. By analyzing the positional relationship between the projection point and the baseline, and its projection range within the effective working area, the system achieves precise positioning and validity verification of the user's projection position. Finally, through coordinate inverse transformation, the actual projection position is obtained. This series of spatial geometric calculations provides a precise data foundation for subsequent judgment of the user's operating area, improving the accuracy of the clothes dryer's perception of the user's position and the reliability of system control.
[0052] Furthermore, the power control method for the dual-line clothes drying rack integrated module also includes the following steps: Step S104: Perform subsequent monitoring and shooting, acquire subsequent shooting data, and identify the subsequent shooting data to determine whether there is a control and adjustment scene.
[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, subsequent monitoring and shooting are performed to obtain subsequent shooting data. By identifying the user position through the subsequent shooting data, the real-time user position is determined. Then, the real-time user position is analyzed to determine whether there is a control and adjustment scenario. Specifically, if the real-time user position is directly below the first clothes drying rack, it is determined that there is a control and adjustment scenario; otherwise, it is determined that there is no control and adjustment scenario.
[0054] Understandably, the subsequent monitoring and filming process is a monocular filming process.
[0055] Specifically, the process of conducting subsequent monitoring and shooting, acquiring subsequent shooting data, and identifying the subsequent shooting data to determine whether a control and adjustment scenario exists includes the following steps: Subsequent monitoring and imaging will be conducted, and the captured image sequence will be obtained through the acquisition equipment; By using template matching technology, user location recognition processing is performed on the captured image sequence to determine the user's spatial coordinates within the shooting range and obtain user location data with timestamps. Based on the selected clothes drying rack's preset installation location and spatial layout parameters, combined with timestamped user location data, the relative distance and orientation between the user's location and the selected clothes drying rack's location are calculated through spatial geometric relationships, thus obtaining the relationship between the user's location and the selected clothes drying rack's location. Based on the positional relationship between the user and the selected clothes drying rack and using the preset effective operating area boundary parameters, it is determined whether the user's vertical projection falls completely within the preset operating area directly below the selected clothes drying rack, and the result of the user's projection area conformity judgment is obtained. The system presets a comfortable operating range based on the user's current height; it then verifies whether the user is within an effective operating space range based on the user's projection area conformity judgment result and the comfortable operating range, thus obtaining the user's operating space validity verification result. By utilizing the user operation space validity verification results and timestamped user location data, the system monitors the user's dwell time in the current valid operation space: when the dwell time reaches a preset stable operation threshold, a definite identifier with a controllable and adjustable scenario is generated; otherwise, a definite identifier without a controllable and adjustable scenario is generated.
[0056] Furthermore, this invention continuously collects user dynamic image sequences, uses template matching technology to accurately locate the user's spatial coordinates and record timestamps, calculates the relative positional relationship between the user and the device by combining preset parameters of the clothes drying rack, and then determines whether the user's vertical projection completely falls into the preset operation area. It also verifies the effectiveness of the operation space by considering the user's height and the comfortable range set within the user's height. Finally, it accurately generates a judgment label for the control and adjustment scenario by monitoring whether the user's continuous stay time in the effective space reaches a stable threshold. This achieves intelligent recognition and scenario discrimination of the user's true operation intention, effectively improving the accuracy of the system response and the natural fluency of human-computer interaction.
[0057] Furthermore, the power control method for the dual-line clothes drying rack integrated module also includes the following steps: Step S105: When there is a control adjustment scenario, perform subsequent dual control on the selected clothes drying rack and the unselected clothes drying rack, and perform return control after the preset default duration period.
[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, when a control and adjustment scenario is determined, the selected clothes drying rack is directly raised. After the direct raising control of the selected clothes drying rack is completed, the unselected clothes drying rack is directly lowered, or the unselected clothes drying rack is controlled for lighting and lowering. Then, the waiting duration is recorded and compared with a preset default duration. After the waiting duration exceeds the preset default duration, the unselected clothes drying rack is controlled to return to its original position. At this point, the entire control process of the dual-line clothes drying rack is completed.
[0059] Specifically, Figure 5 The flowchart of the subsequent dual control and homing control in the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0060] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of performing subsequent dual control on the selected clothes drying rack and the unselected clothes drying rack in a control and adjustment scenario, and performing return control after a preset default duration period, specifically includes the following steps: Step S1051: When there is a control adjustment scenario, the selected clothes drying rack is directly raised. Step S1052: After completing the direct upward control of the selected clothes drying rack, perform direct downward control on the unselected clothes drying rack. Step S1053: After completing the direct descent control of the unselected clothes drying rack, record the waiting duration; Step S1054, or, after completing the direct upward control of the selected clothes drying rack, perform lighting and downward control on the unselected clothes drying rack; Step S1055: After completing the lighting and descent control for the unselected clothes drying rack, record the waiting duration; Step S1056: After the waiting time exceeds the preset default duration, return the unselected clothes drying rack to its original position.
[0061] Specifically, the "return control" refers to raising the unselected clothes dryer to a preset initial storage position, which is usually near the ceiling to avoid obstructing indoor space activities. The "default duration" in the "waiting duration exceeds the preset default duration" trigger condition of the return control can be set according to the average operation time of hanging and taking clothes (e.g., 30 seconds to 2 minutes), and users can make personalized adjustments through system settings.
[0062] Furthermore, Figure 6 An application architecture diagram of the system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0063] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power control system of the dual-line clothes drying rack integrated module includes: The initial monitoring and imaging unit 101 is used to receive control operation signals, perform delayed initial monitoring and imaging, and acquire initial imaging data.
[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, when the current user performs any click operation on the touch panel, a control operation signal is triggered. The initial monitoring and shooting unit 101 receives the control operation signal, determines the lag period, and then generates an initial monitoring command after the lag period. In response to the initial monitoring command, it performs delayed initial monitoring and shooting to obtain initial shooting data.
[0065] The initial shooting recognition unit 102 is used to recognize the initial shooting data and determine the current control environment, the current user location, and the current user height.
[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, the initial shooting recognition unit 102 determines the current control environment by performing environmental brightness recognition on the initial shooting data, determines the current user position by performing user position recognition on the initial shooting data, and determines the current user height by performing user height recognition on the initial shooting data.
