Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a control method, device, bathroom fixture, and storage medium for bathroom fixtures. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of smart bathroom technology, the application of touch buttons in bathroom products such as showers can enhance the user experience, improve the technological feel of the products, and increase market competitiveness.

[0003] Currently, most bathroom fixtures use traditional button control structures, which generally have poor anti-interference capabilities in the humid and watery environment of the bathroom. The touch buttons used in some showers and other bathroom fixtures are easily affected by external factors such as water droplets, water flow, and water mist. When liquid splashes onto the button area, it is easy to cause false detection, causing the detection signal to reach the trigger threshold, which in turn causes the button to be triggered erroneously, resulting in abnormal switching of water outlet modes, accidental opening of water circuits, and other phenomena, which seriously affect the stability, safety, and user experience of the bathroom fixtures. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a control method, device, bathroom fixture, and storage medium for bathroom fixtures, in order to solve the problem that conventional touch buttons are easily triggered or malfunction due to water impact caused by their physical characteristics.

[0006] Optionally, determine whether the corresponding valid touch button and / or invalid touch button has been falsely triggered based on valid and invalid touch signals, including: If at least two valid touch signals generated by valid touch buttons are detected, it is determined that the corresponding two valid touch buttons have been falsely triggered. If an invalid touch signal generated by an invalid touch button and a valid touch signal generated by a corresponding valid touch button located at the edge are detected, it is determined that the invalid touch button and the corresponding valid touch button located at the edge have been mistakenly triggered. If only one valid touch signal or one invalid touch signal is detected, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button was not accidentally triggered.

[0007] Optionally, determine whether a valid or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered based on the cumulative trigger time, including: If the cumulative trigger time is less than the first set time, or the cumulative trigger time is greater than the second set time, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered. If the cumulative trigger time is greater than or equal to the first set time and less than the second set time, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been mistakenly triggered.

[0008] Optionally, after determining that it has not been falsely triggered, the following steps are also included: Obtain the signal detection value corresponding to a valid or invalid touch signal; If the signal detection value reaches the set detection threshold, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been triggered by mistake. If the signal detection value does not reach the set detection threshold, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered.

[0009] Optionally, bathroom control methods may also include: If it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button has not been triggered by mistake, the button control logic corresponding to the valid touch button is executed. If it is determined that the corresponding invalid touch button was not accidentally triggered, the button control logic will not be executed.

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0021] Figure 1This invention provides a flowchart of a bathroom control method. This embodiment is applicable to situations where false triggering occurs due to effective waterproofing interference during or after use of various types of bathrooms. The bathroom control method can be executed by a bathroom control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. The bathroom control device can be configured in various types of bathrooms, including but not limited to bathroom cabinets, shower heads, shower heads, shower screens, bathtubs, etc. This embodiment does not impose any special limitations on them.

[0022] In this embodiment, the bathroom fixture includes a switch control device. The switch control device is used to receive user operations, such as controlling the bathroom fixture's start / stop, temperature adjustment, or mode selection. The switch control device includes valid touch buttons and invalid touch buttons. It is understood that when a valid touch button is pressed, it executes the corresponding button control logic, while when an invalid touch button is pressed, it does not execute any button control logic, i.e., it does not perform any operation. The invalid touch button is located on one side of the valid touch button at the edge, and its icon is not displayed on the bathroom product's appearance. It is known that the invalid touch button is used in conjunction with the valid touch button in the corresponding position to determine whether it has been accidentally triggered.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method for this bathroom includes: S110. After detecting a valid touch signal generated by a valid touch button and / or an invalid touch signal generated by an invalid touch button, determine whether the corresponding valid touch button and / or invalid touch button has been accidentally triggered based on the valid touch signal and the invalid touch signal.

[0024] As can be seen, a valid touch button will generate and output a valid touch signal when it is touched. Similarly, an invalid touch button will generate and output an invalid touch signal when it is touched. The above-mentioned touch can be a manual operation by the user or an impact from water flow.

[0025] Specifically, when more than two valid touch signals are detected, it can be determined that the situation is due to water flow impact, that is, the two corresponding valid touch buttons are determined to be falsely triggered. It can be understood that the number of valid touch buttons in a bathroom is usually between 2 and 5. For example, the number of valid touch buttons can be, but is not limited to, 3 or 4. Therefore, when any two valid touch buttons are detected to be impacted by water flow, two valid touch signals can be generated at this time, and the above two valid touch buttons are determined to be falsely triggered.

[0026] Based on this, considering the case where only the effective touch button on the edge is impacted by water flow, in this embodiment, in order to more accurately distinguish whether the false trigger is caused by water flow impact, an invalid touch button is set on one side of the effective touch button located on the edge, so as to avoid the possibility that when the effective touch button located on the edge is impacted by water flow, only one effective touch signal may be generated, and thus the false trigger of the effective touch button being impacted by water flow cannot be accurately identified.

[0027] Furthermore, after detecting a valid touch signal generated by a valid touch button and an invalid touch signal generated by an invalid touch button, it can be understood that the valid touch button at this time is the touch button located on the edge that corresponds to the invalid touch button, and the valid touch signal is generated by the valid touch button located on the edge. If two touch signals are received at this time, it can be considered that the generation of the above-mentioned valid touch signal and invalid touch signal is falsely triggered, that is, it is determined that the invalid touch button and the corresponding valid touch button located on the edge are falsely triggered.

[0028] It should be noted that, considering the size of the water flow impact area, the judgment of false triggering when both valid touch signals from valid touch buttons and invalid touch signals from invalid touch buttons are detected also applies when at least one valid touch button is detected. That is, in addition to the valid touch button located at the edge corresponding to the invalid touch button generating a valid touch signal, other valid touch buttons may also be detected simultaneously. In this case, not only are valid and invalid touch signals detected simultaneously, but at least two valid touch signals are detected, which can also determine that the invalid touch button, as well as the corresponding valid touch button located at the edge and other valid touch buttons, have all been falsely triggered.

[0029] In this embodiment, if only one valid touch signal is detected, it can be temporarily determined that the corresponding valid touch button has not been falsely triggered. Further determination of whether the valid touch button is currently being pressed normally or falsely triggered is then made based on the cumulative trigger time and the corresponding signal detection value. The specific method is described in the false trigger determination section below, and will not be repeated here. If only an invalid touch signal is detected, it can be determined that the corresponding invalid touch button has not been falsely triggered.

[0030] S120. After determining that no accidental triggering has occurred, obtain the cumulative triggering time length corresponding to the valid or invalid touch button, and determine whether the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has been accidentally triggered based on the cumulative triggering time length.

[0031] In one embodiment, in step S110, if it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been mistakenly triggered, the cumulative trigger time length corresponding to the valid touch button is obtained, or the cumulative trigger time length corresponding to the invalid touch button is obtained. It can be understood that at this time, the cumulative trigger time length corresponding to the valid touch button or invalid touch button can be obtained by timing in the same way. This embodiment does not impose any special restrictions on the timing method of the cumulative trigger time length.

[0032] Specifically, if the cumulative trigger time is less than the first set time, it can be assumed that a water droplet has fallen on a valid or invalid touch button, generating a corresponding valid or invalid touch signal. However, if the trigger time of the corresponding valid or invalid touch signal is short, it is determined that the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered.

[0033] The first set time length is a threshold for the trigger time length to determine whether a valid or invalid touch button is accidentally triggered. The first set time length can be selected and set based on the time length during which the corresponding button control logic will be executed when a valid or invalid touch button is pressed normally. In this embodiment, there is no special limitation on the specific value of the first set time length. Optionally, the first set time length can be 100 milliseconds.

[0034] Furthermore, if the cumulative trigger time is longer than the second set time, it can be considered that the water flow is continuously falling on the valid or invalid touch button to generate the corresponding valid or invalid touch signal, or that water droplets remain on the valid or invalid touch button to generate the corresponding valid or invalid touch signal. Although the trigger time of the corresponding valid or invalid touch signal is relatively long, it can still be determined that the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered.

[0035] Similarly, the second set time length is the threshold for the trigger time length to determine whether a valid or invalid touch button is accidentally triggered. The second set time length can be selected and set based on the time length during which the corresponding button control logic will be executed when a valid or invalid touch button is pressed normally. In this embodiment, there is no special limitation on the specific value of the second set time length. Optionally, the second set time length can be 1000 milliseconds.

[0036] Furthermore, if the cumulative trigger time is greater than or equal to the first set time and less than the second set time, it can be determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been mistakenly triggered. At this time, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is pressed normally, or whether it is a water droplet or a water flow that falls briefly. Then, the signal detection value corresponding to the valid touch signal or invalid touch signal can be obtained, and the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button can be determined based on the signal detection value.

[0037] Since the signal detection value of the trigger signal generated by the user pressing the touch button is much greater than the signal detection value of the trigger signal generated by the water droplet or water flow falling on the touch button, in this embodiment, if the signal detection value reaches the set detection threshold, that is, the signal detection value corresponding to the valid touch signal or the invalid touch signal can be identified as the user triggering the button action, then it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been mistakenly triggered.

[0038] If the signal detection value does not reach the set detection threshold, that is, the signal detection value corresponding to the valid touch signal or the invalid touch signal can be identified as a false action caused by water droplets or water flow falling on the touch button, then it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been falsely triggered.

[0039] In another embodiment, after determining in step S110 that the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has not been falsely triggered, the signal detection value corresponding to the valid or invalid touch signal can be directly obtained, and the determination of whether the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has been falsely triggered can be based on the signal detection value. Specifically: if the signal detection value reaches a set detection threshold, it is determined that the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has not been falsely triggered; if the signal detection value does not reach the set detection threshold, it is determined that the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has been falsely triggered. Based on the above, after determining that the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has not been falsely triggered, step S120 can be further executed to obtain the trigger cumulative time length corresponding to the valid or invalid touch button, and the determination of whether the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has been falsely triggered can be based on the trigger cumulative time length.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, if it is determined in steps S110 and S120 that the corresponding valid touch button has not been accidentally triggered, that is, the valid touch button is pressed normally by the user, then the button control logic corresponding to the valid touch button is executed; for example, if the function corresponding to the valid touch button is to turn off the bathroom, then the button control logic for turning off the bathroom is executed.

[0041] In steps S110 and S120, it is determined that the corresponding invalid touch button was not accidentally triggered. Since the invalid touch button does not have any actual operation function in the bathroom of this embodiment, the button control logic is not executed.

[0042] The technical solution of this invention includes a bathroom fixture with a switch control device. The switch control device includes a valid touch button and an invalid touch button. The invalid touch button is located on one side of the valid touch button at the edge. The control method for the bathroom fixture includes: after detecting a valid touch signal generated by the valid touch button and / or an invalid touch signal generated by the invalid touch button, determining whether the corresponding valid touch button and / or invalid touch button has been falsely triggered based on the valid touch signal and the invalid touch signal; after determining that it has not been falsely triggered, obtaining the cumulative trigger time length corresponding to the valid touch button or invalid touch button, and determining whether the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been falsely triggered based on the cumulative trigger time length. This invention solves the problem that conventional touch buttons are easily falsely triggered or malfunction due to water impact caused by their physical characteristics, effectively avoiding false triggering of bathroom touch buttons, improving the bathroom fixture's interference resistance, operational reliability in humid environments, and user experience.

[0043] Based on the same inventive concept Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a bathroom control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment, even if only one valid touch signal is detected, temporarily assumes that the corresponding valid touch button has not been mistakenly triggered. However, it can further determine whether the valid touch button is currently being pressed normally or mistakenly triggered based on the cumulative trigger time length corresponding to the valid touch signal and the corresponding signal detection value, thus providing an optional implementation method. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the control method for this bathroom includes: S210, Detect a valid touch signal generated by a valid touch button and / or an invalid touch signal generated by an invalid touch button.

[0044] S221. If at least two valid touch signals generated by valid touch buttons are detected, it is determined that the corresponding two valid touch buttons have been erroneously triggered.

[0045] S222. If an invalid touch signal generated by an invalid touch button and a valid touch signal generated by a corresponding valid touch button located at the edge are detected, it is determined that the invalid touch button and the corresponding valid touch button located at the edge are mistakenly triggered.

[0046] S223. If only one valid touch signal or one invalid touch signal is detected, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been accidentally triggered.

[0047] S230: Obtain the cumulative trigger time length corresponding to a valid or invalid touch button.

[0048] Specifically, after determining that the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has not been mistakenly triggered, the system further obtains the cumulative trigger time length corresponding to the valid or invalid touch button.

[0049] S241. If the cumulative trigger time is less than the first set time or greater than the second set time, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered.

[0050] For example, if the first set time length is 100 milliseconds and the second set time length is 1000 milliseconds, if the cumulative trigger time length is less than 100 milliseconds or greater than 1000 milliseconds, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered.

[0051] S242. If the cumulative trigger time is greater than or equal to the first set time and less than the second set time, then it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been mistakenly triggered.

[0052] For example, if the first set time length is 100 milliseconds and the second set time length is 1000 milliseconds, and the cumulative trigger time length is greater than or equal to 100 milliseconds and less than 1000 milliseconds, then it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been mistakenly triggered.

[0053] S250: Obtain the signal detection value corresponding to a valid touch signal or an invalid touch signal.

[0054] Among them, the signal detection value corresponding to the valid touch signal or invalid touch signal is a value converted into a value when the touch button is pressed. Taking the valid touch button as a capacitive touch button as an example, the signal detection value corresponding to the valid touch signal or invalid touch signal is the amount of capacitance change detected in real time.

[0055] Furthermore, based on the signal detection value, it can be determined whether the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has been pressed. In this embodiment, it can be further determined based on the signal detection value that the subject of pressing the valid or invalid touch button is user operation or water droplet.

[0056] S260. Determine whether the signal detection value has reached the set detection threshold. If yes, proceed to step S271; otherwise, proceed to step S272.

[0057] The detection threshold is set to determine whether a valid or invalid touch button is pressed as a user operation or a water droplet signal. The detection threshold can be set based on experimental calibration. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific value of the detection threshold.

[0058] For example, taking a capacitive touch button as an example, if the user triggers the button action, pressing the capacitive touch button will generate a large capacitance change and form a corresponding signal detection value. If the erroneous action is caused by a water droplet or water flow falling on the touch button, it will generate a small capacitance change and form a corresponding signal detection value. It can be seen that the corresponding detection threshold can be a capacitance change threshold that distinguishes the two situations. Based on the type and working principle of the effective touch button, the detection threshold can be set to the corresponding data value. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0059] S271. Determine whether the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been accidentally triggered.

[0060] Specifically, if the signal detection value reaches the set detection threshold, step S271 is executed, that is, it is determined whether the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered.

[0061] S272. Determine whether the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered.

[0062] If the signal detection value does not reach the set detection threshold, then step S272 is executed, that is, it is determined whether the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered.

[0063] The technical solution of this invention, when only one valid touch signal is detected, further determines whether the valid touch button is currently being pressed normally or mistakenly triggered based on the cumulative trigger time length corresponding to the valid touch signal and the corresponding signal detection value. By setting a reasonable detection threshold, the signal detection value corresponding to the change caused by water droplets falling on the button does not reach the set detection threshold. Only when the user makes a valid touch will the signal detection value reach or exceed the set detection threshold, thereby outputting a valid trigger signal. This effectively avoids malfunctions caused by interference from water droplets, water mist, etc., and improves the working reliability of showers and other bathroom fixtures in humid environments and enhances the user experience.

[0064] Based on the same inventive concept Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a bathroom control device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The bathroom includes a switch control device, which includes a valid touch button and an invalid touch button. The invalid touch button is located on one side of the valid touch button at the edge, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the control device for this bathroom includes: The first trigger judgment module 310 is used to determine whether the corresponding valid touch button and / or invalid touch button is mistakenly triggered based on the valid touch signal and invalid touch signal after detecting a valid touch signal generated by a valid touch button and / or an invalid touch signal generated by an invalid touch button. The second trigger judgment module 320 is used to obtain the cumulative trigger time length corresponding to the valid or invalid touch button after determining that it has not been triggered by mistake, and to determine whether the corresponding valid or invalid touch button has been triggered by mistake based on the cumulative trigger time length.

[0065] Optionally, based on valid and invalid touch signals, it can be determined whether the corresponding valid touch button and / or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered, specifically for: If at least two valid touch signals generated by valid touch buttons are detected, it is determined that the corresponding two valid touch buttons have been falsely triggered. If an invalid touch signal generated by an invalid touch button and a valid touch signal generated by a corresponding valid touch button located at the edge are detected, it is determined that the invalid touch button and the corresponding valid touch button located at the edge have been mistakenly triggered. If only one valid touch signal or one invalid touch signal is detected, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button was not accidentally triggered.

[0066] Optionally, the system can determine whether a valid or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered based on the cumulative trigger time. Specifically, this can be used for: If the cumulative trigger time is less than the first set time, or the cumulative trigger time is greater than the second set time, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered. If the cumulative trigger time is greater than or equal to the first set time and less than the second set time, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been mistakenly triggered.

[0067] Optionally, after determining that it has not been falsely triggered, the following steps are also included: Obtain the signal detection value corresponding to a valid or invalid touch signal; If the signal detection value reaches the set detection threshold, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has not been triggered by mistake. If the signal detection value does not reach the set detection threshold, it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button or invalid touch button has been mistakenly triggered.

[0068] Optionally, the bathroom control device may also include: The bathroom control module is used to execute the button control logic corresponding to the valid touch button if it is determined that the corresponding valid touch button has not been triggered by mistake. If it is determined that the corresponding invalid touch button was not accidentally triggered, the button control logic will not be executed.

[0069] The bathroom control device provided in the embodiments of the present invention can execute the bathroom control method provided in any embodiment of the present invention, and has the corresponding functional modules and beneficial effects for executing the bathroom control method.

[0070] Based on the same inventive concept, the bathroom fixture provided in this embodiment includes a switch control device. The switch control device includes an active touch button and an inactive touch button. The inactive touch button is located on one side of the active touch button located at the edge. Optionally, the active touch button can be a capacitive touch button. If the switch control device adopts a capacitive touch button, it has the advantages of long service life, waterproof and moisture-proof, sensitive operation, and simple appearance.

[0071] To ensure the accuracy of bathroom control, the number of valid and invalid touch buttons can be set to be the same. At the same time, valid and invalid touch buttons should be set in a one-to-one correspondence to ensure accurate detection of false triggers for each valid touch button.

[0072] Understandably, considering component costs, it is possible to set only one invalid touch button for each valid touch button located at the edge. For example, if the valid touch buttons are arranged horizontally in a single line, which is intuitive, neat, and ergonomic, then two invalid touch buttons can be set, one on each side of the valid touch buttons at the two ends of the horizontal arrangement. If the valid touch buttons are arranged vertically in a single line, then two invalid touch buttons can be set on each side of the valid touch buttons at the two ends of the vertical arrangement.

[0073] Additionally, it should be noted that if the valid touch buttons are arranged in a matrix (e.g., 2×2, 3×1, etc.), one or more corresponding invalid touch buttons can be set on one side of the valid touch buttons at the edge to ensure accurate detection of false triggers for each valid touch button and achieve precise control of the bathroom. Similarly, if the valid touch buttons are arranged in an arc / ring or dispersed manner, the number and position of invalid touch buttons can be selected according to requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on them.

[0074] For example, see Figure 4 As shown, taking a bathroom shower as an example, the shower has four valid touch buttons, namely Touch2, Touch3, Touch4, and Touch5. Correspondingly, invalid touch buttons Touch1 and Touch6 are set on one side of the valid touch button Touch2 and the valid touch button Touch5 located on the edge, so as to ensure accurate detection of false triggering of each valid touch button.

[0075] Based on the same inventive concept Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a bathroom fixture 410 that can be used to implement an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 5As shown, the bathroom fixture 410 also includes at least one processor 411 and a memory, such as a read-only memory (ROM 412) or a random access memory (RAM 413), communicatively connected to the at least one processor 411. The memory stores computer programs executable by the at least one processor. The processor 411 can perform various appropriate actions and processes based on the computer program stored in the ROM 412 or loaded from storage unit 418 into the RAM 413.
