Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0078] To cater to consumers' demand for diversified product functions, electronic devices across various industries are becoming increasingly feature-rich and are being updated at an ever-accelerating pace, greatly enriching and facilitating people's daily lives. However, due to the diversification of electronic device functions, consumers often lack understanding of some functions and operating procedures to meet their needs. To understand the functions and performance of electronic devices, manufacturers typically provide both paper and electronic instruction manuals, which consumers need to consult to determine the specific functions and operating procedures of the device.

[0079] However, paper manuals are prone to loss, while electronic manuals suffer from deficiencies in readability and intuitiveness. Furthermore, when encountering operational difficulties or equipment malfunctions, both existing paper and electronic manuals require users to search for corresponding solutions, making it difficult for users to quickly and accurately provide the solutions they need. Additionally, current product manuals are lengthy and involve specialized knowledge, requiring users to spend considerable time searching and looking up the necessary information, resulting in users not obtaining the required information in a timely manner.

[0080] Therefore, the existing instruction manual display method has the problem of failing to provide users with the required information in a timely manner.

[0081] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a method for displaying an electronic instruction manual. Figure 1 A schematic diagram illustrating a display method for an electronic instruction manual provided in this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the interactive objects of this application include a smart home appliance 101 and a terminal device 102. Both the smart home appliance 101 and the terminal device 102 are equipped with NFC modules and perform near-field communication via these modules. Additionally, the smart home appliance 101 and the terminal device 102 can also establish a communication connection via a wireless network. For example, the smart home appliance 101 can establish a communication connection with the terminal device 102 via home WiFi (Wireless Fidelity).

[0082] Figure 1The smart home appliances 101 mentioned above can be, for example, smart water heaters, smart clothing processing equipment, smart speakers, smart air conditioners, smart humidifiers, and smart TVs. The terminal devices can be, for example, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, handheld computers, wearable devices, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs) or personal digital assistants (PDAs).

[0083] Based on the aforementioned application scenarios, this application establishes near-field communication with the terminal device via an NFC module, determines the corresponding target electronic manual based on the instruction manual confirmation message, and then displays the target electronic manual. This method triggers the electronic manual display process via the NFC module, and then provides the user with the corresponding target electronic manual based on the instruction manual confirmation message. This avoids users spending a significant amount of time searching and querying for the required information, achieving the technical effect of providing users with the information they need in a timely and accurate manner.

[0084] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0085] Figure 2 The flowchart of an electronic instruction manual display method provided in this application Figure 1 The execution entity in this embodiment can be, for example, a... Figure 1 The smart home appliance shown in the embodiment is equipped with an NFC module, which is used for near-field communication with terminal devices. Figure 2 As shown, the electronic instruction manual display method provided in this embodiment is applied to smart home appliances, and the method includes:

[0086] S201: When near-field communication is established with the terminal device through the NFC module, the corresponding target electronic instruction manual is determined based on the instruction manual determination message.

[0087] Specifically, when the terminal device approaches the NFC module of a smart home appliance, it triggers the establishment of near-field communication between the smart home appliance's NFC module and the terminal device's NFC module. Once an NFC connection is established between the smart home appliance and the terminal device, a manual specification confirmation message is obtained, and the corresponding target electronic manual specification is determined based on this message. The manual specification confirmation message corresponds one-to-one with the target electronic manual specification, and the message originates from either the smart home appliance or the terminal device; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0088] Optionally, the instruction manual may determine the message based on the user's needs or the current operating status of the smart home appliance; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0089] This method triggers the process through the NFC module and determines the corresponding target electronic manual based on the instruction manual determination message. Users do not need to consult and search the manual according to their needs to obtain the required information, which simplifies the process of users obtaining the required manual. Based on the instruction manual determination message, it provides users with the required electronic manual in a timely and accurate manner.

[0090] Understandably, smart home appliances are equipped with an NFC sensing area, which contains at least one NFC module. This NFC module integrates an NFC chip and an NFC antenna. Additionally, the NFC module can store the target electronic instruction manual corresponding to the instruction manual identification message. Optionally, the target electronic instruction manual can also be stored in the smart home appliance's memory.

[0091] S202: Display the target electronic instruction manual on the display interface of the smart home appliance, or send the target electronic instruction manual to the terminal device so that the terminal device displays the target electronic instruction manual.

[0092] Optionally, after obtaining the target electronic manual, the content of the manual can be displayed to the user through the smart home appliance's display interface; alternatively, the target electronic manual can be sent to a terminal device, which will then display it. This method presents the target electronic manual to the user intuitively and accurately, improving not only the display efficiency but also the user experience of the smart home appliance.

[0093] Understandably, the two display methods for the target electronic manual described above can be used simultaneously, or the display operations can be performed according to the user's needs. This application does not limit the display method of the target electronic manual.

[0094] The electronic instruction manual display method provided in this embodiment establishes near-field communication with the terminal device through an NFC module, determines the corresponding target electronic instruction manual based on the instruction manual determination message, and then displays the target electronic instruction manual to the user. This provides the user with the target electronic instruction manual, avoiding the user spending a lot of time searching for the required information, and achieving the technical effect of providing the user with the required target electronic instruction manual in a timely and accurate manner.

[0095] Figure 3 The flowchart of an electronic instruction manual display method provided in this application Figure 2 .like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment... Figure 2Based on the embodiments, this paper details a possible implementation of determining the corresponding target electronic manual based on the specification determination message. The electronic manual display method shown in this embodiment includes:

[0096] S301: Determine the specification determination message; wherein the specification determination message is any one of the following: user button operation, the operating status of the smart home appliance, and the NFC identifier corresponding to the NFC module.

[0097] Specifically, when NFC communication is triggered between the smart home appliance and the terminal device, a manual instruction manual confirmation message is triggered. The method for determining this message includes: obtaining the user's current operation on the smart home appliance, which may be a button press; or, obtaining the operating status of the smart home appliance and generating the manual instruction manual confirmation message based on that status; or, obtaining the NFC identifier corresponding to the smart home appliance's NFC module, which indicates the smart home appliance's function and is associated with the corresponding electronic manual. The NFC identifier can be determined through NFC communication interaction between the smart home appliance and the terminal device.

[0098] S302: If the instruction manual determines that the message is a user's key operation, determine the function key corresponding to the key operation, and use the electronic instruction manual corresponding to the function key as the target electronic instruction manual.

[0099] After bringing the terminal device close to the NFC module of the smart home appliance, the user can operate the buttons on the smart home appliance. For example, if the user wants to view the instruction manual corresponding to button 1, the user can bring the terminal device close to the NFC module of the smart home appliance to establish an NFC connection between the smart home appliance and the terminal device. After the two establish an NFC connection, the user can click button 1 to view the instruction manual corresponding to button 1.

[0100] At this point, smart home appliances can recognize the user's button operations to determine the corresponding function buttons, and then determine the corresponding electronic instruction manual based on those function buttons.

[0101] In one possible implementation, each function key corresponds to different keyword information, which is associated with a corresponding electronic manual. This electronic manual is a description of the function of the corresponding key. The electronic manual includes, but is not limited to, descriptions of the function keys' functions, parameter descriptions, and standard operating procedures.

[0102] After recognizing the user's key press operation, this method determines the corresponding function key based on the key press operation, and then identifies the electronic manual associated with that function key as the target electronic manual. This achieves the goal of providing the user with timely and accurate electronic manuals for the function keys according to the user's needs, saving the user the time of flipping through electronic manuals to find the corresponding explanations for the function keys, and helping to improve user satisfaction with smart home appliances.

[0103] S303: If the instruction manual determines that the message is the NFC identifier corresponding to the NFC module, determine the function key corresponding to the NFC identifier, and use the electronic instruction manual corresponding to the function key as the target electronic instruction manual.

[0104] When the terminal device is close to the NFC module of the smart home appliance, the smart home appliance obtains the NFC identifier of the NFC module. That is, at this time, the instruction manual identifies the message as the NFC identifier, then identifies the function button corresponding to the NFC identifier, and identifies the electronic instruction manual associated with the function button as the target electronic instruction manual.

[0105] For example, in the case of a smart home appliance like a water heater, when a terminal device is brought close to the temperature adjustment button on the water heater, NFC communication between the smart home appliance and the terminal device is triggered. At this time, the instruction manual identifies the message as a first NFC identifier. Then, based on the temperature adjustment button corresponding to the first NFC identifier, the electronic instruction manual associated with that temperature adjustment button is identified as the target electronic instruction manual. This electronic instruction manual can be stored in the smart home appliance's memory or in the corresponding NFC module. This application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0106] In this step, the number of NFC modules in the smart home appliance can be multiple, and each NFC module stores a corresponding NFC identifier and the device model of the smart home appliance. Each NFC identifier corresponds to a different function button, and each function button is associated with a corresponding electronic instruction manual.

[0107] Understandably, multiple NFC modules can be integrated into a single sensing area or distributed across multiple areas of a smart home appliance. Therefore, after the smart home appliance's NFC module senses the proximity of the terminal device and establishes near-field communication, the smart home appliance can determine the corresponding NFC module based on the positional relationship between the multiple NFC modules and the terminal device, and use the NFC identifier corresponding to that NFC module as the confirmation message for this specification.

[0108] For example, the NFC sensing area contains four NFC modules. When a user brings the terminal device close to the first NFC module in the NFC sensing area of ​​a smart home appliance, the first NFC identifier corresponding to the first NFC module is identified as the confirmation message in this manual.

[0109] S304: If the instruction manual determines that the message is the operating status of the smart home appliance, determine whether the smart home appliance has a malfunction based on the operating status.

[0110] In particular, when the terminal device is close to the NFC module of the smart home appliance and no user button operation or NFC identifier is received, the instruction manual confirms that the message can also indicate the operating status of the smart home appliance. This operating status includes the current operating functions and parameters of the smart home appliance.

[0111] Specifically, when the terminal device is close to the NFC module of a smart home appliance, the smart home appliance recognizes the user's button operation and the NFC identifier of the NFC module. At this point, the instruction manual confirmation message is activated, triggering the instruction manual display function. That is, based on this activation status, it is determined whether the smart home appliance is faulty, and then based on the determination result, the corresponding target electronic instruction manual is determined.

[0112] In one possible implementation, after the smart home appliance establishes near-field communication with the terminal device via the NFC module, it obtains the current operating status. Based on the currently operating function in this status, it determines the normal operating parameter range corresponding to that function, and then judges whether the operating parameters are within the normal operating parameter range to determine whether the smart home appliance is faulty. That is, if the operating parameters are within the normal operating parameter range, the smart home appliance is determined to be in normal operating condition; if the operating parameters are not within the normal operating parameter range, the smart home appliance is determined to be faulty.

[0113] Optionally, an electronic manual can be determined based on the current operating function corresponding to the operating status. This electronic manual includes parameter ranges corresponding to different types of fault states. By comparing the operating parameters in the operating status with the parameter ranges corresponding to the different types of fault states, the current fault type of the smart home appliance can be determined.

[0114] S305: If so, the electronic instruction manual corresponding to the fault shall be used as the target electronic instruction manual.

[0115] The electronic instruction manual corresponding to the fault is used to indicate the solution to the fault.

[0116] Optionally, if a fault is determined in step S305, a fault identifier corresponding to the fault is generated, and this identifier is associated with a corresponding fault solution, which is then identified as the target electronic manual. Furthermore, different fault types correspond to different fault identifiers, and each fault identifier is associated with a different solution; therefore, different faults of the smart home appliance correspond to different target electronic manuals.

[0117] This method determines whether a smart home appliance is malfunctioning based on its operating status, and then identifies the target electronic manual based on the malfunction, avoiding the need for users to consult the manual to identify the fault and its solution. Furthermore, smart home appliance manuals involve specialized technical knowledge, making it difficult for ordinary users to obtain correct troubleshooting solutions from them. Therefore, this method achieves the technical effect of providing users with timely and accurate solutions to malfunctions, further improving the user experience of smart home appliances.

[0118] S306: If not, then determine the corresponding running program based on the running status, and use the electronic instruction manual of the running program as the target electronic instruction manual.

[0119] The program includes running functions and running processes.

[0120] Optionally, if step S305 determines that the smart home appliance is not faulty, the operating program corresponding to the operating state of the smart home appliance is determined based on the operating state of the appliance. Then, based on the operating functions in the operating program, the electronic manual corresponding to the operating function is determined, and this electronic manual is designated as the target electronic manual. The target electronic manual includes the operating parameters and operating procedures corresponding to the operating state.

[0121] S307: Display the target electronic instruction manual on the display interface of the smart home appliance, or send the target electronic instruction manual to the terminal device so that the terminal device displays the target electronic instruction manual.

[0122] Optionally, two methods are provided here for sending the target electronic instruction manual to the terminal device: sending the target electronic instruction manual to the terminal device via the NFC module; or sending the target electronic instruction manual to the terminal device via the server corresponding to the smart home appliance.

[0123] Optionally, in Figure 2 Based on the embodiments, in order to ensure that the communication object of the smart home appliance is a trusted terminal device, before establishing near-field communication with the terminal device through the NFC module, the method further includes: when the NFC module receives a communication request sent by the terminal device, determining the device identifier of the terminal device from the communication request; if the device identifier is included in the device permission list of the smart device, then establishing a near-field communication channel between the smart home appliance and the terminal device through the NFC module.

[0124] Optionally, before triggering the confirmation message via the NFC module through the smart home appliance, a communication request is received from the terminal device. This communication request includes the device identifier of the terminal device to determine whether the device identifier exists in the smart home appliance's device permission list. If the device identifier exists in the device permission list, a near-field communication channel is established with the terminal device via the NFC module. This method verifies the communication permissions of the terminal device based on the communication request sent by the terminal device before initiating the instruction manual display process, ensuring the communication security of the smart home appliance.

[0125] Understandably, the aforementioned communication requests include, but are not limited to, device identifiers for terminal devices and user manual requirements. In determining the target electronic manual, the manual requirements outlined in the communication requests can be used to further determine whether the target electronic manual is the one the user needs, ensuring that the user's manual requirements are accurately and promptly met.

[0126] The electronic instruction manual display method provided in this embodiment determines the target electronic instruction manual based on user button operations, the operating status of the smart home appliance, and the NFC identifier corresponding to the NFC module. First, when the instruction manual determination message is a user button operation, the function key corresponding to the button operation is identified, and the electronic instruction manual corresponding to that function key is selected as the target electronic instruction manual. Second, when the instruction manual determination message is an NFC identifier, the function key corresponding to that NFC identifier is identified, and the electronic instruction manual corresponding to that function key is selected as the target electronic instruction manual. Furthermore, when the instruction manual determination message indicates the operating status of the smart home appliance, the system determines whether the smart home appliance is faulty based on this operating status. If the smart home appliance is faulty, the electronic instruction manual corresponding to the fault is selected as the target electronic instruction manual. When the smart home appliance is operating normally, the system selects the operating program corresponding to the operating status as the target electronic instruction manual. This method directly provides the user with the corresponding target electronic instruction manual based on button operations, the operating status of the smart home appliance, and the NFC identifier. When the smart home appliance is faulty, it provides the user with a target electronic instruction manual containing fault solutions, achieving the technical effect of providing users with the necessary information in a timely and accurate manner, which helps improve user satisfaction with smart home appliances.

[0127] Figure 4 The flowchart of an electronic instruction manual display method provided in this embodiment Figure 3 .like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment... Figure 2-3 Based on the embodiments, a possible implementation of determining the corresponding target electronic manual based on the specification determination message is described in detail. The electronic manual display method shown in this embodiment includes:

[0128] S401: Determine the current operating parameters of the smart home appliance, and based on the current operating parameters and the instruction manual, determine the target operating parameters corresponding to the target program from the current operating parameters.

[0129] The current operating parameters include multiple performance parameters of the smart home appliance, and the instruction manual specifies that the message includes the target program and at least one functional parameter corresponding to the target program.

[0130] Optionally, the current operating parameters of the smart home appliance are obtained, and at least one functional parameter in the message is determined according to the instruction manual. The current parameter value corresponding to the at least one performance parameter is determined from the current operating parameters, and the current parameter value is determined as the target operating parameter corresponding to the target program.

[0131] For example, in the scenario where the smart home appliance is a water heater, the instruction manual specifies that the target program in the message is temperature adjustment, with functions including heating temperature, heating time, and heat preservation time. First, the current operating parameters of the water heater are obtained, and the current temperature, current heating time, and current heat preservation time are determined from these parameters. Then, the current temperature, current heating time, and current heat preservation time are determined as the target operating parameters corresponding to the temperature adjustment function.

[0132] S402: Determine the optimal running parameters corresponding to the target program.

[0133] The optimal operating parameters are determined based on multiple historical operating parameters, or based on the electronic manual of the target program.

[0134] Optionally, multiple historical operating parameters corresponding to the target program are obtained, and the frequency of the target program at each of the historical operating parameters is calculated. Then, based on this frequency, the parameter value corresponding to the highest frequency is determined as the optimal operating parameter. For example, for a water heater, the optimal parameter for heating time, determined based on historical operating parameters, is 20 minutes. This method captures users' usage habits of smart home appliances through historical operating parameters and determines the optimal operating parameters based on these habits, which helps provide users with more suitable operating parameters and improves their user experience with smart home appliances.

[0135] Alternatively, another method for determining optimal operating parameters is provided here. First, based on the target program, determine the corresponding electronic manual for the target program, and then, based on the target operating parameters, determine the corresponding optimal operating parameters in the electronic manual. These optimal operating parameters can also be within the standard operating parameter range. This method determines the optimal operating parameters based on the electronic manual corresponding to the target program, preventing users from adjusting the operating parameters outside the standard operating parameter range, which could lead to equipment damage or reduced equipment lifespan.

[0136] S403: If the optimal operating parameters and the target operating parameters do not match, generate an adjustment strategy based on the optimal operating parameters and the target operating parameters.

[0137] Optionally, after determining the optimal operating parameters, it is determined whether the corresponding target operating parameters match the optimal operating parameters. If the target operating parameters do not match the optimal operating parameters, an adjustment strategy for the target operating parameters is generated based on the optimal operating parameters. For example, if the optimal operating parameter for heating time is 20 minutes and the target operating parameter is 60 minutes, then the adjustment strategy generated based on the optimal operating parameters is: it is recommended to adjust the heating time to 20 minutes.

[0138] Understandably, when the target operating parameters match the optimal operating parameters, feedback information is generated based on the target operating parameters and sent to the terminal device. This feedback information includes, but is not limited to, the device model, the target operating parameters, and the optimal operating parameters.

[0139] S404: The adjustment strategy and the electronic instruction manual of the target program shall be used as the target electronic instruction manual.

[0140] Optionally, after generating an adjustment strategy for the target program in step S403 above, a target electronic manual is generated based on the adjustment strategy and the electronic manual corresponding to the target program.

[0141] Understandably, when feedback information is generated in step S403 above, the feedback information can be sent directly to the terminal device, or a target electronic manual can be generated based on the feedback information and the electronic manual corresponding to the target program.

[0142] The electronic instruction manual display method provided in this embodiment determines the current operating parameters of the smart home appliance, and based on these parameters and the instruction manual, determines the target operating parameters corresponding to the target program. Furthermore, it determines the optimal operating parameters for the target program. If the optimal operating parameters and the target operating parameters do not match, it generates an adjustment strategy based on the optimal and target operating parameters, and then uses the adjustment strategy and the electronic instruction manual of the target program as the target electronic instruction manual. The optimal operating parameters are determined through multiple historical operating parameters corresponding to the target program, or through the electronic instruction manual of the target program. This method, on the one hand, captures the user's usage habits of the smart home appliance, providing users with more adaptable operating parameters; on the other hand, it provides users with standard and safe operating parameters based on the electronic instruction manual, avoiding the problem of users accidentally adjusting or incorrectly setting operating parameters.
