[0049] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0051] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) 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 embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0052] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0053] With the advent of the smart era, more and more smart devices are playing a vital role in people's daily lives. Smart devices generally have a defined design lifespan. When the device and its components exceed this lifespan, problems inevitably arise due to component aging, such as increased noise, reduced functionality, and in severe cases, safety risks. Therefore, current technology typically stores the lifespan of the device and its components in the device's main control board. The main control board monitors the usage of each component and promptly alerts the user when the lifespan is reached.

[0054] However, when the main control board of the equipment fails and needs to be replaced, the new main control board does not store the usage cycles of all the equipment's components, which may result in the usage cycles of the equipment components being reset or discarded.

[0055] Therefore, this application proposes a method for determining the component usage period of a first electronic device. When the first electronic device is a non-IoT device, the component usage period of the first electronic device is stored on both the control element and the storage element. When the control element fails, the final usage period of the component can be determined based on the two component usage periods on the new control element and the storage element.

[0056] When the first electronic device is an IoT device, both the first electronic device and its associated second electronic device store the component lifecycle of the first electronic device. When the control element of the first electronic device fails, the final lifecycle of the component can be determined based on the two component lifecycles stored in the first and second electronic devices. In this way, even if the control element of the first electronic device fails, it ensures that the component lifecycle of the first electronic device is stored in another storage location, and the final lifecycle of the component can be obtained by combining the component usage information in the two storage locations.

[0057] The following is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 The application scenarios of this application will be explained.

[0058] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario provided by an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1As shown, the scenario includes a first electronic device, which is equipped with a control element 101 and a storage element 102, as well as multiple other elements, such as other element 1, other element 2, ... other element N.

[0059] The first electronic device acquires the first identification code of the control element 101 and the second identification code stored on the storage element 102. The identification code is used to identify the unique serial number of the control element 101. The first electronic device can acquire the identification codes stored on the two elements at certain time intervals; it can also acquire the identification codes stored on the two elements when a component is replaced. The component replacement mentioned above can be the replacement of the control element 101 or the replacement of non-control elements (storage element 102 and / or other elements).

[0060] If the first identification code and the second identification code are not equal, the first component usage cycle list stored on the control element 101 and the second component usage cycle list stored on the storage element 102 are obtained, wherein the component usage cycle list stores the usage cycle of at least one component of the first electronic device; based on the first component usage cycle list and the second component usage cycle list, the target component usage cycle list of the first electronic device is determined.

[0061] If the first identification code is not equal to the second identification code, it means that the control element 101 on the first electronic device has been replaced. The replaced control element 101 may carry the usage cycle of some components or it may not carry the usage cycle of any components. In this case, the usage cycle of the components on the control element 101 cannot be used as the sole criterion. It is necessary to combine the usage cycle of the components on the storage element 102 to determine the final usage cycle of the device components.

[0062] If the first identification code and the second identification code are equal, obtain the first component usage cycle list stored on the control element 101 and the second component usage cycle list stored on the storage element 102; for each component, if the first usage cycle in the first component usage cycle list is not equal to the second usage cycle in the second component usage cycle list, delete the second usage cycle and write the first usage cycle into the second usage cycle list.

[0063] If the first identifier code equals the second identifier code, it indicates that the control element 101 on the first electronic device has not been replaced. Based on this, if the first usage period in the first element usage period list stored on the control element 101 is not equal to the second usage period in the second element usage period list stored on the storage element 102, it may be that a non-control element on the first electronic device has been replaced, or that the control element 101 has failed to synchronize the element usage status with the storage element 102 in a timely manner, or that the storage element 102 has failed to update in a timely manner. In this case, the element usage period on the control element 101 shall prevail.

[0064] Based on the cooperation between the above components, it is possible not only to accurately identify whether the control element 101 has been replaced on the first electronic device, but also to ensure the effective storage and updating of component usage cycle data when the control element 101 or non-control element is replaced.

[0065] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario provided by an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the scenario includes a first electronic device 201 and a second electronic device 202. For example, the first electronic device 201 can be a clothing processing device, a robot vacuum cleaner, a dishwasher, etc.; the second electronic device 202 can be a repair device, a server, etc.

[0066] The first electronic device 201 acquires its own third identification code and the fourth identification code stored in the second electronic device 202. The second electronic device 202 is associated with the first electronic device 201, and the identification code is used to identify the unique serial number of the first electronic device 201. Similarly, the first electronic device 201 can acquire the above two identification codes at certain time intervals; it can also acquire the above two identification codes when a component is replaced on the first electronic device 201. The component replacement mentioned above can be a replacement of a control component or a replacement of a non-control component.

[0067] If the third and fourth identifiers are not equal, the third component usage cycle list stored on the first electronic device 201 and the fourth component usage cycle list stored on the second electronic device 202 are obtained, wherein the component usage cycle list stores the usage cycle of at least one component of the first electronic device 201; based on the third component usage cycle list and the fourth component usage cycle list, the target component usage cycle list of the first electronic device 201 is determined.

[0068] If the third identification code of the first electronic device 201 is not equal to the fourth identification code stored on the second electronic device 202, it means that the control element on the first electronic device 101 has been replaced. The replaced control element may carry the usage cycle of some elements or may not carry the usage cycle of any elements. In this case, the usage cycle of the elements on the first electronic device 201 cannot be used as the sole criterion. It is necessary to combine the usage cycle of the elements on the second electronic device 202 to determine the final usage cycle of the elements on the first electronic device 201.

[0069] If the third identifier and the fourth identifier are equal, the third component usage cycle list stored on the first electronic device 201 and the fourth component usage cycle list stored on the second electronic device 202 are used. For each component, if the third usage cycle in the third component usage cycle list is not equal to the fourth usage cycle in the fourth component usage cycle list, the fourth usage cycle is deleted and the third usage cycle is written into the fourth usage cycle list.

[0070] If the third identifier code equals the fourth identifier code, it indicates that the control element on the first electronic device 201 has not been replaced. Based on this, if the third usage period in the third element usage period list stored on the first electronic device 201 is not equal to the fourth usage period in the fourth element usage period list stored on the second electronic device 202, it may be that a non-control element on the first electronic device 201 has been replaced, or that the first electronic device 201 has failed to synchronize element usage with the second electronic device 202 in a timely manner, or that the second electronic device 202 has failed to update in a timely manner. In this case, the element usage period on the first electronic device 201 shall prevail.

[0071] Based on the cooperation between the above-mentioned electronic devices, it is possible not only to accurately identify whether a control element has been replaced on the first electronic device 201, but also to ensure the effective storage and updating of the usage cycle data corresponding to the components on the first electronic device 201 when a control element or non-control element is replaced.

[0072] The technical solutions of this application and how they solve the aforementioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments may exist independently or in combination with each other. Identical or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] Figure 3 A flowchart of a method for determining the lifespan of a component provided in this application embodiment. Figure 1 .like Figure 3 As shown, the method is applied to a first electronic device, which is provided with a control element and a storage element. The method includes:

[0074] S301. Obtain the first identification code of the control element and the second identification code stored on the storage element. The identification code is used to identify the unique serial number of the control element.

[0075] In the above scheme, each control element has its own unique serial number, and the identification code can be used to identify the control element corresponding to the serial number. In this way, it can be determined whether the identification code of the control element itself is consistent with the identification code stored in the storage element.

[0076] S302, if the first identification code and the second identification code are not equal, obtain the first component usage cycle list stored on the control element and the second component usage cycle list stored on the storage element, wherein the component usage cycle list stores the usage cycle of at least one component of the first electronic device.

[0077] In this step, if the first identification code and the second identification code are inconsistent, it means that the serial number of the control element has changed, and it is very likely that the control element has been replaced. At this time, the element cycle data of the first electronic device needs to be determined by combining the data stored on the control element and the storage element respectively.

[0078] In the specific implementation process, if the first identifier code of the control element and the second identifier code stored on the storage element are equal, it means that the control element of the first electronic device has not changed. At this time, the component usage cycle of the first electronic device can be based on the content stored in the control element. For example, when the first identifier code and the second identifier code are equal, the first component usage cycle list stored on the control element and the second component usage cycle list stored on the storage element are obtained. For each component, when the first usage cycle in the first component usage cycle list is not equal to the second usage cycle in the second component usage cycle list, the second usage cycle is deleted and the first usage cycle is written into the second usage cycle list.

[0079] S303. Based on the first component usage cycle list and the second component usage cycle list, determine the target component usage cycle list for the first electronic device.

[0080] In the above scheme, since the control element has changed, the first element usage cycle list may contain cycle usage data stored on other electronic devices, or it may not store any data, or it may be the latest cycle usage data synchronized from all the elements of the first electronic device. In this case, it is necessary to combine the second element usage cycle list to determine the cycle of the first electronic device element.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, the control element of the first electronic device can store the usage cycle of at least one element on the first electronic device. By adding a storage location for the usage cycle of another element on the first electronic device, it can be ensured that the usage cycle of the element on the first electronic device will not be reset or discarded when the control element of the first electronic device is replaced.

[0082] The following is combined with Figure 3 The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation process of determining the target component usage cycle list of the first electronic device based on the first component usage cycle list and the second component usage cycle list in the component usage cycle determination method of this application.

[0083] Figure 4 A flowchart of a method for determining the lifespan of a component provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 .like Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0084] S401. Obtain the first usage cycle of each component from the first component usage cycle list.

[0085] In the above scheme, since the first component usage cycle list stores the usage cycle of at least one component of the first electronic device, the first usage cycle corresponding to each component can be obtained from it.

[0086] S402. Obtain the second usage cycle for each component from the second component usage cycle list.

[0087] In this step, similarly, the second element usage cycle list stored on the storage element stores the usage cycle of at least one element of the first electronic device. Therefore, the second usage cycle corresponding to each element can be obtained from it. By comparing the first usage cycle and the second usage cycle of each element, the final usage cycle of each element can be determined.

[0088] S403. For each element in the second element usage cycle list, if the first usage cycle of the element is obtained, the target usage cycle of the element is determined. The target usage cycle is the larger of the first usage cycle and the second usage cycle.

[0089] In the above scheme, since the first component usage cycle list is component cycle data stored in the control element, it may be stored on other electronic devices by the control element before, or it may be recently synchronized from all components of the first electronic device. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second component usage cycle list is used as a reference, and the first usage cycle corresponding to the first component usage cycle list is obtained for each component in the second component usage cycle list.

[0090] If a corresponding first usage period is obtained from the first component usage period list, the larger of the first usage period and the second usage period is taken as the target usage period. In this way, it can be ensured that the component usage period of the first electronic device is not underestimated, and the safety risks that may be caused by using components beyond their lifespan can be avoided.

[0091] Of course, in other embodiments, a threshold value can also be set to determine the target usage period of each component. For example, when the difference between the first usage period and the second usage period is less than or equal to the threshold value, the first usage period, the second usage period, or the average of the first usage period and the second usage period is used as the target usage period; when the difference between the first usage period and the second usage period is greater than the threshold value, the larger of the first usage period and the second usage period is used as the target usage period.

[0092] S404. Based on the target usage period of each component, obtain a list of target component usage periods.

[0093] In this step, after determining the target usage period of each component in the second component usage period list as a reference, a usage period list containing the usage status of all components on the first electronic device can be obtained.

[0094] S405. If the first usage cycle of a component is not obtained, the second usage cycle of the component in the second component usage cycle list shall be used as the target usage cycle.

[0095] In the above scheme, if the corresponding first usage cycle is not obtained from the first component usage cycle list, it means that the first component usage cycle list does not store the usage status of the corresponding component. The first component usage cycle list may be data previously stored on other electronic devices. In this case, the cycle data in the second component usage cycle list is directly used as the target cycle data.

[0096] S406. Based on the target usage period of each component, obtain a list of target component usage periods.

[0097] In this step, the first component usage cycle list may contain cycle usage data corresponding to components that do not exist in the second component usage cycle list. In this case, the second component usage cycle list shall still be used as the standard, and the cycle usage data corresponding to these components shall be directly discarded or deleted. This is because these components do not exist in the second component usage cycle list, that is, they do not exist on the first electronic device.

[0098] In this embodiment of the application, each element in the second element usage cycle list is used as a benchmark. By comparing the usage cycle data stored in the first element usage cycle list and the second element usage cycle list respectively, the usage cycle of each element is determined, thereby obtaining the element usage cycle of the first electronic device.

[0099] Figure 5 Flowchart of another component usage period determination method provided in the embodiments of this application Figure 1 .like Figure 5 As shown, the method is applied to a first electronic device, and the method includes:

[0100] S501. Obtain the third identification code of the first electronic device and the fourth identification code stored in the second electronic device, wherein the second electronic device is associated with the first electronic device, and the identification code is used to identify the unique serial number of the first electronic device.

[0101] In the above scheme, each first electronic device has its own unique serial number, and the identification code can be used to identify the first electronic device corresponding to the serial number. In this way, it can be determined whether the identification code of the first electronic device itself is consistent with the identification code stored in the second electronic device.

[0102] S502. If the third identifier and the fourth identifier are not equal, obtain the third component usage cycle list stored on the first electronic device and the fourth component usage cycle list stored on the second electronic device, wherein the component usage cycle list stores the usage cycle of at least one component of the first electronic device.

[0103] In this step, if the third and fourth identification codes are inconsistent, it means that the serial number of the first electronic device has changed, and it is very likely that the main control board of the first electronic device has been replaced. At this time, the component cycle data of the first electronic device needs to be determined by combining the data stored on the first and second electronic devices respectively.

[0104] In the specific implementation process, if the third identification code of the first electronic device is equal to the fourth identification code stored on the second electronic device, it means that the control element of the first electronic device has not changed. In this case, the component usage cycle of the first electronic device can be based on the content stored on the first electronic device. For example, when the third identification code and the fourth identification code are equal, the third component usage cycle list stored on the first electronic device and the fourth component usage cycle list stored on the second electronic device are used. For each component, when the third usage cycle in the third component usage cycle list is not equal to the fourth usage cycle in the fourth component usage cycle list, the fourth usage cycle is deleted and the third usage cycle is written into the fourth usage cycle list.

[0105] S503. Based on the third component usage cycle list and the fourth component usage cycle list, determine the target component usage cycle list of the first electronic device.

[0106] In the above scheme, since the control element of the first electronic device has changed, the third element usage cycle list may contain cycle usage data stored on other electronic devices, or it may not store any data, or it may be the latest cycle usage data synchronized from all the elements of the first electronic device. In this case, it is necessary to combine the fourth element usage cycle list to determine the cycle of the first electronic device element.

[0107] In this embodiment of the application, the main control board of the first electronic device can store the usage cycle of at least one component on the first electronic device. By storing the usage cycle of another component of the first electronic device on the second electronic device associated with the first electronic device, it can be ensured that the usage cycle of the component on the first electronic device will not be reset or discarded when the main control board of the first electronic device is replaced.

[0108] The following is combined with Figure 6 The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation process of determining the target component usage cycle list of the first electronic device based on the third component usage cycle list and the fourth component usage cycle list in the component usage cycle determination method of this application.

[0109] Figure 6 A flowchart of a method for determining the lifespan of a component provided in this application embodiment. Figure 2 .like Figure 6 As shown, the method includes:

[0110] S601. Obtain the third usage cycle for each component from the third component usage cycle list.

[0111] In the above scheme, since the third component usage cycle list stores the usage cycle of at least one component of the first electronic device, the third usage cycle corresponding to each component can be obtained from it.

[0112] S602. Obtain the fourth usage cycle for each component from the fourth component usage cycle list.

[0113] In this step, similarly, the fourth component usage cycle list stored on the second electronic device stores the usage cycle of at least one component of the first electronic device. Therefore, the fourth usage cycle corresponding to each component can be obtained from it. By comparing the third usage cycle and the fourth usage cycle of each component, the final usage cycle of each component can be determined.

[0114] S603. For each element in the fourth element usage cycle list, if the third usage cycle of the element is obtained, the target usage cycle of the element is determined. The target usage cycle is the larger of the third usage cycle and the fourth usage cycle.

[0115] In the above scheme, since the third component usage cycle list is component cycle data stored in the first electronic device, it may be stored on other electronic devices by the main control board of the first electronic device, or it may be recently synchronized from all components of the first electronic device. Therefore, in this embodiment, the third usage cycle corresponding to the third component usage cycle list is obtained for each component in the fourth component usage cycle list based on the fourth component usage cycle list.

[0116] If the corresponding third usage cycle is obtained from the third component usage cycle list, the larger of the third and fourth usage cycles is taken as the target usage cycle. In this way, it can be ensured that the component usage cycle of the first electronic device is not underestimated, and the safety risks that may be caused by using components beyond their lifespan can be avoided.

[0117] Of course, in other embodiments, a threshold value can also be set to determine the target usage period of each component. For example, when the difference between the third usage period and the fourth usage period is less than or equal to the threshold value, the third usage period or the fourth usage period or the average of the third and fourth usage periods is used as the target usage period; when the difference between the third usage period and the fourth usage period is greater than the threshold value, the larger of the third and fourth usage periods is used as the target usage period.

[0118] S604. Based on the target usage period of each component, obtain a list of target component usage periods.

[0119] In this step, after determining the target usage period of each component in the fourth component usage period list based on the fourth component usage period list, a usage period list containing the usage status of all components on the first electronic device can be obtained.

[0120] S605. If the third usage cycle of a component is not obtained, the fourth usage cycle of the target component in the fourth component usage cycle list shall be used as the target usage cycle.

[0121] In the above scheme, if the corresponding third usage cycle is not obtained from the third component usage cycle list, it means that the usage status of the corresponding component is not stored in the third component usage cycle list. The third component usage cycle list may be the data stored on other electronic devices before the new control element on the first electronic device. In this case, the cycle data in the fourth component usage cycle list is directly used as the target cycle data.

[0122] S606. Based on the target usage period of each component, obtain a list of target component usage periods.

[0123] In this step, the third component usage cycle list may contain cycle usage data corresponding to components that do not exist in the fourth component usage cycle list. In this case, the fourth component usage cycle list shall still be used as the standard, and the cycle usage data corresponding to these components shall be directly discarded or deleted. This is because these components do not exist in the fourth component usage cycle list, that is, they do not exist on the first electronic device.

[0124] In this embodiment of the application, each element in the fourth element usage cycle list is used as a benchmark. By comparing the usage cycle data stored in the third element usage cycle list and the fourth element usage cycle list respectively, the usage cycle of each element is determined, thereby obtaining the element usage cycle of the first electronic device.

[0125] In summary, the component lifecycle determination method provided in this application allows for the determination of component lifecycles based on the following: When the first electronic device is a non-IoT device, both the control element and the storage element store the component lifecycle of the first electronic device. When the control element fails, the final lifecycle of the component can be determined based on the two component lifecycles stored on the new control element and the storage element. When the first electronic device is an IoT device, both the first electronic device and the associated second electronic device store the component lifecycle of the first electronic device. When the control element of the first electronic device fails, the final lifecycle of the component can be determined based on the two component lifecycles stored on the first and second electronic devices.
