Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a clothing processing device, control method, control apparatus and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the rapid development of washing technology, washing machines have become increasingly feature-rich in programs and functions, and their operation has become more complex. Users often need to perform complex parameter settings to achieve their washing needs.
[0003] Some models in related technologies have a program memory function, which remembers the program executed each time it finishes. However, users do not need to use the memory function for every use. If they want to use the original program for the next wash, they need to manually change the remembered program back to the original one.
[0004] Therefore, both washing machines with and without program memory functions are complicated to operate, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a garment processing device, a control method, a control apparatus, and a storage medium.
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a control method for a garment processing device, comprising:

[0011] In some embodiments, it also includes:
[0012] If the parameter information of this clothing processing procedure is confirmed to be the same as the parameter information of the clothing processing procedure with the program memory function, no program memory prompt will be output.
[0013] In some embodiments, the output program memory prompts include:
[0014] Control the output program memory prompts of clothing handling equipment and / or floor cleaning equipment.
[0015] In some embodiments, obtaining the clothing processing program execution instructions and outputting program memory prompts includes:
[0016] Obtain the clothing processing program execution instruction, determine the preset clothing processing program or parameters corresponding to the clothing processing program execution instruction, and output the program memory prompt.
[0017] In some embodiments, it also includes:
[0018] Obtain non-memory feedback information and do not perform operations that use the parameter information of this clothing processing procedure as the clothing processing procedure's memory function.
[0019] In some embodiments, it also includes:
[0020] If the number of consecutive output program memory prompts reaches a preset number and no feedback information is received, the system will detect whether the clothing processing device has activated the program memory function.
[0021] If the clothing processing device activates the program memory function, the parameter information of the current clothing processing program will be used as the clothing processing program parameter information of the program memory function; or, if the clothing processing device does not activate the program memory function, the operation of using the parameter information of the current clothing processing program as the clothing processing program parameter information of the program memory function will not be performed.
[0022] Secondly, this application provides a control device for a garment processing equipment, comprising:
[0023] The prompt module is used to obtain the running instructions of the clothing processing program and output the program's memory prompts;
[0024] The memory module is used to obtain memory feedback information and use the parameter information of the current clothing processing procedure as the clothing processing procedure parameter information of the program memory function.
[0025] Thirdly, this application provides a storage medium storing a clothing processing device control program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the clothing processing device control method as described in the first aspect.
[0026] Fourthly, this application provides a garment processing device, which further includes a processor and a memory. The processor executes the steps of the method described in the first aspect by calling a program or instruction stored in the memory.
[0027] The technical solution provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0028] The control method for the garment processing equipment provided in this application, after obtaining the garment processing program execution instruction, outputs a program memory prompt. If the user memorizes the program based on the prompt, the garment processing equipment, upon receiving the memory feedback information, will use the parameter information of the current garment processing program as the parameter information of the memorized program, regardless of whether the garment processing equipment has activated the program memory function. This means the parameter information of the current garment processing program is recorded so that the user can use the memorized parameter information the next time they start the garment processing equipment. The control method for the garment processing equipment provided in this application enables both garment processing equipment with and without program memory functions to memorize programs on demand, and optimizes existing program memory functions, avoiding the problem in related technologies where the program is memorized after each run, requiring users to make adjustments for subsequent uses.

[0035] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0036] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0037] Some garment processing devices in related technologies have a program memory function, which remembers the program executed each time it is completed. However, users do not need to use the memory function for every use. If they want to use the original program for the next wash, they need to manually change the remembered program back to the original one.
[0038] In addition, some models of clothing processing equipment in related technologies do not have a program memory function, so users have to manually select commonly used programs and parameters every time they do laundry, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0039] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, this application provides a control method for a garment processing device.
[0040] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a garment processing device provided in an embodiment of this application. This control method is applicable to application scenarios requiring control of garment processing equipment. This method can be executed by a control device for the garment processing equipment provided in this embodiment, and this control device can be implemented using software and / or hardware. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Figure 1 As shown, the control method for the garment processing equipment includes:
[0041] S110: Obtain the running instructions for the clothing processing program and output the program memory prompts.
[0042] After the garment processing equipment is started, the user selects a garment processing program, at which point a program memory prompt can be output. This program memory prompt can be in the form of voice and / or text. For example, a voice prompt might ask, "Do you want to remember this program and parameter settings?" This application embodiment does not limit the form of the program memory prompt.
[0043] S120. Obtain memory feedback information and use the parameter information of this clothing processing procedure as the clothing processing procedure parameter information of the program memory function.
[0044] If the user replies with "memorize," then the memory feedback information can be obtained. Memory feedback information refers to the feedback information obtained by the garment processing device when the user replies with "memorize." Regardless of whether the garment processing device had previously activated the program memory function, it memorizes the program, using the parameter information of the current garment processing program as the memory program parameter information so that the user can use the memorized garment processing program parameter information the next time they start the garment processing device.
[0045] The control method for clothing processing equipment provided in this application enables both clothing processing equipment with and without program memory functions to memorize programs on demand. Therefore, for clothing processing equipment that previously lacked program memory, the control method provided in this application can also memorize clothing processing programs according to user needs, solving the problem in related technologies where users have to manually select frequently used programs and parameters each time they use the clothing processing equipment. Furthermore, this application optimizes the existing program memory function by outputting a program memory prompt after the user selects a clothing processing program, indicating whether the user needs to memorize it. This achieves the effect of memorizing clothing processing programs on demand, avoiding the problem in related technologies where the program is memorized after each run, requiring users to adjust it for subsequent uses.
[0046] In some embodiments, outputting program memory prompts includes: outputting program memory prompts for controlling garment handling equipment and / or floor cleaning equipment.
[0047] In some feasible implementations, after the garment processing equipment is started and the user selects a garment processing program, the embodiments of this application can control the garment processing equipment to output a program memory prompt to indicate whether the user chooses to memorize the garment processing program. If the garment processing equipment has a voice playback device, the program memory prompt can be in the form of a voice prompt. Optionally, the display device of the garment processing equipment can also be used to provide text prompts.
[0048] Accordingly, users can provide feedback based on the program's memory prompts. The clothing processing equipment can include a voice receiving device to acquire the memory feedback information in the form of voice. The memory feedback information is, for example, the user's voice reply of "memorize".
[0049] In some feasible implementations, the clothing handling device and the floor cleaning device in the embodiments of this application can communicate to achieve data interaction.
[0050] In this embodiment, after the clothing processing equipment is started and the user selects a clothing processing program, the clothing processing equipment can control the floor cleaning equipment (e.g., a robot vacuum cleaner) to output a program memory prompt, indicating whether the user wants to remember the clothing processing program. If the floor cleaning equipment has a voice playback device, the program memory prompt can be in the form of a voice prompt, such as controlling the floor cleaning equipment to voice prompt "Do you want to remember this program and parameter settings?"
[0051] Correspondingly, users can provide feedback based on the program's memory prompts. The floor cleaning equipment can include a voice receiving device to acquire memory feedback information in the form of voice and send it to the clothing processing equipment. The memory feedback information is, for example, a voice reply of "memorize" given by the user, so that the clothing processing equipment can use the parameter information of this clothing processing program as the clothing processing program parameter information of the program memory function after acquiring the memory feedback information.
[0052] In some embodiments, obtaining the clothing processing program execution instructions and outputting program memory prompts includes:
[0053] Obtain the clothing processing program execution instructions, determine that the parameter information of this clothing processing program is different from the parameter information of the clothing processing program in the program memory function, and output the program memory prompt.
[0054] In some embodiments, the method further includes: determining that the parameter information of the current clothing processing procedure is the same as the parameter information of the clothing processing procedure in the program memory function, and not outputting a program memory prompt.
[0055] In this embodiment of the application, after the garment processing equipment is started and the user selects a garment processing program, the parameter information of the garment processing program selected by the user is first compared with the parameter information of the garment processing program in the program memory function, and it is detected whether the parameter information of the garment processing program selected by the user is the same as the parameter information of the garment processing program in the program memory function.
[0056] If the parameters of the current clothing processing procedure differ from those of the clothing processing procedure with the program memory function, a program memory prompt will be output to indicate to the user whether they need to memorize the information.
[0057] If the parameters of the current clothing processing procedure are the same as those in the program memory function, it means that the user wants to use the clothing processing procedure parameters previously recorded by the program memory function. If the current recording is also the same as the previous recording, there is no need to record it, so there is no need to output a program memory prompt.
[0058] For example, if the program memory function's clothing processing type is "cotton / linen wash," and the user selects "wool wash" this time, then the parameters of this clothing processing program differ from those in the program memory function. Therefore, a program memory prompt needs to be displayed to indicate whether the user needs to remember the parameters of this clothing processing program. As another example, if the program memory function's clothing processing type is "cotton / linen wash," and the user selects "cotton / linen wash" this time, but changes the washing temperature to a different value than the previously remembered "cotton / linen wash" temperature, then the parameters of this clothing processing program also differ from those in the program memory function. Again, a program memory prompt needs to be displayed to indicate whether the user needs to remember the parameters of this clothing processing program.
[0059] In some embodiments, obtaining the clothing processing program execution instructions and outputting program memory prompts includes:
[0060] Obtain the clothing processing program execution command, determine the preset clothing processing program or parameters corresponding to the clothing processing program execution command, and output the program memory prompt.
[0061] This application embodiment can pre-set preset clothing processing programs or parameters. When the clothing processing equipment starts and the user selects a clothing processing program, if the selected program or modified parameters belong to the preset program or parameters, a program memory prompt is output to indicate whether the user wants to memorize it. Specifically, the clothing processing program execution command is obtained, and if it is determined that the command corresponds to a preset program or parameters, a program memory prompt is output. Since programs with relatively fixed parameters such as camera lens self-cleaning parameters and downlight parameters, and programs with infrequent use, do not need to be memorized, this application embodiment can exclude these programs and pre-set preset clothing processing programs or parameters. If the user selects a program or modifies parameters that belong to the preset program or parameters, a program memory prompt is output to indicate whether the user wants to memorize it.
[0062] In some embodiments, it also includes:
[0063] Obtain non-memory feedback information and do not perform operations that use the parameter information of this clothing processing procedure as the clothing processing procedure's memory function.
[0064] If the user replies "Do not remember," it means the user does not want to record the parameter information of this garment processing procedure, and does not want to run the same parameter information the next time the garment processing device is started. Based on the user's reply of "Do not remember," non-memory feedback information can be obtained. Non-memory feedback information refers to the feedback information obtained by the garment processing device when the user replies "Do not remember." Regardless of whether the garment processing device previously had its program memory function enabled, it will not remember the program. If the garment processing device previously had its program memory function enabled, it will retain the previously remembered program parameter information. If the garment processing device previously did not have its program memory function enabled, it will not remember the current program parameters.
[0065] In some embodiments, it also includes:
[0066] Based on the number of consecutive output program memory prompts reaching a preset number, and without receiving any feedback information, the system checks whether the clothing processing equipment has activated the program memory function.
[0067] If the garment processing equipment activates its program memory function, the parameter information of the current garment processing program will be used as the parameter information of the garment processing program in the program memory function; or, if the garment processing equipment does not activate its program memory function, the operation of using the parameter information of the current garment processing program as the parameter information of the garment processing program in the program memory function will not be performed.
[0068] If the user does not respond after the program memory prompt is output, the garment processing equipment will not receive feedback information. If the number of consecutive program memory prompts is output a preset number, and no memory feedback information is received, it can be checked whether the garment processing equipment has activated the program memory function. If the garment processing equipment has activated the program memory function, it means that the garment processing equipment has a program memory function. Since the user has not responded, it can execute according to the original logic of the program memory function, that is, it will memorize according to the original program memory function requirements, and use the parameter information of this garment processing program as the garment processing program parameter information of the program memory function.
[0069] If the number of consecutive output program memory prompts reaches a preset number, and no feedback is received, it indicates that the clothing processing device has not activated the program memory function, meaning the clothing processing device does not have a program memory function. Since the user has not responded, the clothing processing device's original logic does not remember program parameters, and since no response has been received from the user requesting memory, the operation of using the parameter information of this clothing processing program as the clothing processing program parameter information for the program memory function will not be executed.
[0070] The preset number of times can be set according to actual needs, for example, 3 times. This application embodiment does not limit the number of preset times.

[0072] S210, Obtain the instructions to run the clothing processing program.
[0073] S220. Determine that the parameter information of this clothing processing procedure is different from the parameter information of the clothing processing procedure in the program memory function, and output the program memory prompt.
[0074] S230. Determine that the parameter information of this clothing processing procedure is the same as the parameter information of the clothing processing procedure with the program memory function, and do not output the program memory prompt.
[0075] S240. Obtain memory feedback information and use the parameter information of this clothing processing procedure as the clothing processing procedure parameter information of the program memory function.
[0076] S250: Obtain non-memory feedback information and do not perform the operation of using the parameter information of this clothing processing procedure as the clothing processing procedure parameter information of the program memory function.
[0077] S260. Based on the fact that the number of consecutive output program memory prompts has reached a preset number and no feedback information has been received, the system detects whether the clothing processing device has activated the program memory function.
[0078] S270. Based on the activation of the program memory function of the clothing processing device, the parameter information of the current clothing processing program is used as the clothing processing program parameter information of the program memory function.
[0079] S280. Since the clothing processing device has not activated the program memory function, the operation of using the parameter information of the current clothing processing program as the clothing processing program parameter information of the program memory function is not performed.
