Abstract

The application provides an electric hair dryer interaction method, a computer program product and an electric hair dryer. The method is applied to an electric hair dryer with a display screen and includes the following steps: obtaining a start-up signal of the electric hair dryer, starting the electric hair dryer according to the start-up signal and starting timing; simultaneously displaying a single use duration and an accumulated use duration in the display screen of the electric hair dryer; obtaining a preset timeout reminder duration threshold, comparing the single use duration with the timeout reminder duration threshold; if the single use duration is less than a first preset duration from the timeout reminder duration threshold, a first reminder signal is generated; if the single use duration is less than a second preset duration from the timeout reminder duration threshold, a second reminder signal is generated; and if the single use duration exceeds the timeout reminder duration threshold, a third reminder signal is generated. Thus, three dynamic reminders can be triggered based on the three reminder signals at three time points, and the individualized reminder needs of users are met.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to an interactive method for a hair dryer, a computer program product, and a hair dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Hair dryers are a common hair styling tool in daily life, and the duration of their use directly affects the safety and lifespan of the device. Prolonged continuous use of a hair dryer can easily lead to motor overheating, shortening the device's lifespan, and may also cause damage to the user's scalp and hair due to excessive heat.

[0003] Existing hair dryers typically use a fixed-duration timer mechanism for timeout reminders (such as automatic shutdown or alarm reminders after 10 or 15 minutes). However, this timer mechanism only provides reminders after the hair dryer has been used for a fixed period, often failing to accommodate all user scenarios and individualized reminder needs, thus impacting user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to enable a hair dryer to provide dynamic timeout reminders.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an interactive method for a hair dryer, applicable to hair dryers with a display screen, comprising the following steps: S1. Obtain the power-on signal of the hair dryer, start the hair dryer and start timing according to the power-on signal; S2. The display screen of the hair dryer simultaneously displays the duration of a single use and the cumulative duration of use; S3. Obtain a preset timeout reminder duration threshold, and compare the single usage duration with the timeout reminder duration threshold: if the single usage duration is less than a first preset duration, generate a first reminder signal; if the single usage duration is less than a second preset duration, generate a second reminder signal; if the single usage duration exceeds the timeout reminder duration threshold, generate a third reminder signal.

[0006] Furthermore, in step S3, the second preset duration is less than the first preset duration.

[0007] Furthermore, in step S3, the first reminder signal is a first color change signal, the second reminder signal is a second color change signal, and the third reminder signal is a third color change signal.

[0008] The present invention also provides a computer program product, which includes a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the above-described hair dryer interaction method.

[0009] The present invention also provides a hair dryer, including a hair dryer, a handle, a display screen and a controller. The hair dryer and the handle are integrated. The hair dryer contains a fan assembly and a heating assembly. The display screen is located on the handle. The controller is electrically connected to the display screen, the fan assembly and the heating assembly respectively. The controller includes a memory and a processor connected to each other. The memory stores the above-mentioned computer program product.

[0010] Furthermore, it includes a power button electrically connected to the controller, the power button being mounted on the handle.

[0011] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: When the single use duration of the hair dryer is less than a first preset duration, less than a second preset duration, or exceeds the timeout reminder duration threshold, the present invention generates a first reminder signal, a second reminder signal, or a third reminder signal respectively. In this way, three dynamic reminders can be triggered based on three reminder signals at three different times, instead of only issuing a timeout reminder after the hair dryer usage duration exceeds the timeout reminder duration threshold, which can meet the user's personalized reminder needs.

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0016] This embodiment provides a hair dryer, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a blower 1, a handle 2, a display screen 3, a power button 4, and a controller (not shown). The blower 1 and handle 2 are integrated, and the display screen 3 and power button 4 are mounted on the handle 2. The blower 1 contains a fan assembly and a heating assembly, which work simultaneously to blow out hot air. The controller is specifically an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), located inside the handle 2. The controller is electrically connected to the display screen 3, power button 4, fan assembly, and heating assembly. The controller includes an interconnected memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, which, when executed by the processor, implements... Figure 2The steps in the hair dryer interaction method shown are specifically the following steps S1, S2 and S3.

[0017] S1. Obtain the power-on signal of the hair dryer, start the hair dryer and start timing according to the power-on signal.

[0018] When using the hair dryer, the user first turns on the power button 4. The controller receives the power-on signal from the power button and then activates the fan and heating components in the blower tube 1 according to the power-on signal, thereby starting the hair dryer. At the same time, the controller starts the internal timing module to start timing and obtain the single usage time of the hair dryer.

[0019] S2. The display screen of the hair dryer simultaneously displays the duration of a single use and the cumulative duration of use.

[0020] The controller's memory stores historical usage data, including the cumulative usage time obtained by summing up the duration of each single use of the hair dryer. When the hair dryer starts working, the controller retrieves the duration of the single use from the timing module and the cumulative usage time from the memory, and then displays both the single usage time and the cumulative usage time simultaneously on the hair dryer's display screen 3 for the user to view in real time. In this embodiment, the display screen 3 is an LED color screen, which is a display device that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to form numbers or symbols, capable of displaying rich colors and complex information, and supporting color changes.

[0021] S3. Obtain the preset timeout reminder duration threshold, and compare the single usage duration with the timeout reminder duration threshold: if the single usage duration is less than the first preset duration, generate a first reminder signal; if the single usage duration is less than the second preset duration, generate a second reminder signal; if the single usage duration exceeds the timeout reminder duration threshold, generate a third reminder signal.

[0022] The controller's memory stores a preset timeout reminder duration threshold (e.g., 10 minutes). When the hair dryer starts working, the controller retrieves the preset timeout reminder duration threshold from the memory, then compares the real-time retrieved single-use duration with the preset timeout reminder duration threshold. Based on the comparison result, it generates different reminder signals and controls the display screen 3 to send different reminders to the user. Specifically: If the duration of a single use is less than the first preset duration (e.g., 3 minutes), meaning the hair dryer's single use lasts 7 minutes, then the single use duration is close to the timeout reminder threshold (10 minutes). Therefore, the controller generates a first reminder signal and controls the display screen 3 to send a reminder to the user. This first reminder signal is a first color change signal; after generating the first reminder signal, the controller controls the display screen 3 to change its display color (e.g., to yellow) to send a reminder to the user that the timeout is approaching.

[0023] If the duration of a single use is less than the second preset duration (e.g., 1 minute) of the timeout reminder threshold, meaning the hair dryer's single use lasts 9 minutes, then the single use duration is very close to the timeout reminder threshold (10 minutes). Therefore, the controller generates a second reminder signal and controls the display screen 3 to send a reminder to the user. This second reminder signal is a second color change signal; after generating it, the controller controls the display screen 3 to change its display color (e.g., to orange) to send a reminder to the user that the timeout is very close.

[0024] If the duration of a single use exceeds the timeout reminder threshold, i.e., the single use of the hair dryer lasts for 10 minutes, the controller generates a third reminder signal and controls the display screen 3 to send a reminder to the user. This third reminder signal is a third color change signal; after generating the third reminder signal, the controller controls the display screen 3 to change its display color (e.g., to red) to send a timeout reminder to the user.

[0025] In summary, when the duration of a single use of the hair dryer is less than the first preset duration, less than the second preset duration, or exceeds the timeout reminder threshold, a first reminder signal, a second reminder signal, or a third reminder signal is generated respectively, and the display screen 3 is controlled to send different reminders to the user. In this way, three dynamic reminders can be triggered based on three reminder signals at three different times, instead of only issuing a timeout reminder after the hair dryer usage time exceeds the timeout reminder threshold, which can meet the user's personalized reminder needs.

[0026] In other embodiments, the hair dryer is also equipped with an indicator light that is electrically connected to the controller. The first reminder signal, the second reminder signal, and the third reminder signal generated by the controller are respectively the first light flashing signal, the second light flashing signal, and the third light flashing signal at different frequencies. After generating the first reminder signal, the second reminder signal, or the third reminder signal, the controller controls the indicator light to flash at different frequencies to issue different reminders to the user.

[0027] In other embodiments, the hair dryer is also equipped with a voice player electrically connected to the controller. The first reminder signal, the second reminder signal, and the third reminder signal generated by the controller are respectively the first voice signal, the second voice signal, and the third voice signal corresponding to different voices. After generating the first reminder signal, the second reminder signal, or the third reminder signal, the controller controls the voice player to play different voices to issue different reminders to the user.

[0028] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of patent protection. Any non-substantial changes or substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention will still fall within the scope of patent protection.
