Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, and more specifically, to a method for linkage control of home appliance banquet mode and a home appliance beverage system. Background Technology

[0002] In modern family life, wine cabinets, refrigerators (including ice-making functions), and water purifiers have become essential components of a high-quality home beverage system. With rising living standards and increasing social demands, family gatherings are becoming more frequent. When hosting guests, hosts often need to complete several preparations simultaneously: cooling the wine to the appropriate serving temperature, preparing sufficient ice for cocktails or chilled drinks, and ensuring adequate drinking water. These three preparations correspond to three different devices: wine cabinets, refrigerator ice-making modules, and water purifiers. They are physically located close together (usually in the kitchen or dining area) and functionally interconnected, forming a complete beverage preparation process for entertaining guests.

[0003] However, managing the optimal serving temperature for red wine, the ice-making time, and the preheating / cooling of water in the water purifier all require a certain amount of lead time. It takes several minutes to several hours for red wine to cool from room temperature to its optimal serving temperature (approximately 16-18°C for red wine and 6-10°C for white wine / sparkling wine); refrigerators typically take several hours to produce enough ice; and water purifiers, if they need to provide drinking water at specific temperatures (such as hot water for tea or cold drinking water), also require a certain amount of preheating or cooling time. If users only begin operating each device upon the arrival of guests, they cannot complete all preparations in a short time, significantly diminishing the guest experience.

[0004] Currently, existing technologies for the coordinated control of wine coolers, refrigerators, and water purifiers mainly employ the following solutions: The first is the traditional solution where each device operates independently, requiring individual user intervention. In this solution, each device has its own independent control system and user interface, necessitating user intervention on each device. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and prone to errors. Furthermore, the lack of coordination between devices can lead to mismatches, such as wine being chilled but ice not yet prepared, or water being ready but wine still too hot. The second solution is a scheduled control scheme based on timed tasks. This allows users to preset timed tasks on the control panels or mobile apps of each device. However, users need to set timed tasks for each device separately, making the process still cumbersome and unable to proactively provide intelligent banquet preparation services. The time parameters for the three timed tasks need to be coordinated and matched by the user, lacking a unified, scenario-based scheduling capability. If the banquet time changes temporarily, the user needs to modify the reservation parameters for each device individually, resulting in a lack of flexibility in the reservation tasks. The third type is a simple device linkage solution based on a single trigger condition. This type of solution establishes simple trigger linkage between devices through IoT technology, but it lacks the ability to uniformly orchestrate multiple devices in a scenario-based manner. It cannot treat cooling, ice making, and water preparation as a whole scenario for unified triggering, scheduling, and status management.

[0005] Currently, in the existing home appliance banquet mode linkage control method, users have to switch between multiple devices, which is cumbersome, inefficient and prone to omissions; it cannot cope with temporary changes in banquet time and predict user needs, and lacks the flexibility, initiative and scenario-based unified arrangement capability of multiple devices. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for linkage control of home appliances in a banquet mode and a system for home appliances to drink beverages, so as to solve the technical problems of existing linkage control methods for banquet modes of home appliances, which are cumbersome in operation, inefficient and prone to omissions, and lack flexibility, initiative and scenario-based unified arrangement capabilities of multiple devices.

[0007] Firstly, this application provides a method for linkage control of home appliance banquet mode, applied to a home appliance beverage system. The home appliance beverage system includes a control module, a wine cabinet, a refrigerator, and a water purifier. The wine cabinet is used to adjust the appropriate drinking temperature of alcoholic beverages, the refrigerator is used to make ice, and the water purifier is used to adjust the water purification temperature. The control module is connected to the wine cabinet, the refrigerator, and the water purifier respectively. The home appliance banquet mode linkage control method includes:

[0008] Obtain the banquet trigger command;

[0009] Based on the banquet trigger command, obtain the current system status; the current system status includes the current wine cabinet status, the current refrigerator status, and the current water purifier status;

[0010] Based on the current status of the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier, and the preset scene arrangement template, generate the scene execution sequence;

[0011] Based on the execution sequence of the scenario, control the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier to work, and receive execution feedback information from the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier;

[0012] When the feedback information meets the first preset condition, output the banquet ready information.

[0013] In one implementation, the banquet trigger command includes a user-initiated trigger command, a device status-related trigger command, or a predictive automatic trigger command.

[0014] Based on the execution sequence of the scenario, the steps for controlling the operation of the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier include:

[0015] When the banquet trigger command is actively triggered by the user, the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier are controlled to operate for the banquet based on a fixed power.

[0016] When the banquet trigger command is a device status-related trigger command or a predictive automatic trigger command, the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier are controlled to preheat based on progressive power; the fixed power value is greater than the maximum power value in the progressive power.

[0017] In one implementation, the priority of user-initiated trigger commands is greater than the priority of device state-associated trigger commands, and the priority of device state-associated trigger commands is greater than the priority of predictive automatic trigger commands.

[0018] The home appliance banquet mode linkage control method also includes:

[0019] When the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier are operating based on progressive power, if a user-initiated command is received, the progressive power preheating operation of the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier will be switched to fixed power banquet operation.

[0020] If the device status-related trigger command and the predicted automatic trigger command are obtained within the first preset time, the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier will be controlled to preheat based on the trigger command obtained earlier among the device status-related trigger command and the predicted automatic trigger command.

[0021] In one embodiment, before switching the wine cooler, refrigerator, and water purifier from progressive power preheating to fixed power banqueting operation, the following steps are included:

[0022] Obtain the remaining execution time for the corresponding fixed-power banquet task;

[0023] After switching the wine cooler, refrigerator, and water purifier from progressive power preheating to fixed power for entertaining, the following steps are included:

[0024] Based on the remaining execution time, control the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier to operate at a fixed power level for entertaining guests.

[0025] In one embodiment, the home appliance banquet mode linkage control method further includes:

[0026] Obtain user behavior data for the corresponding home appliance beverage system;

[0027] Based on a preset association rule mining algorithm, user behavior data is processed to obtain the association rule matching confidence score;

[0028] Based on a pre-defined prediction model, user behavior data is processed to obtain the target prediction probability;

[0029] When the target prediction probability and the confidence level of the association rule match meet the second preset condition, an automatic prediction trigger instruction is generated.

[0030] In one implementation, the step of processing user behavior data based on a preset prediction model to obtain the target prediction probability includes:

[0031] Based on the LSTM prediction model, user behavior data is processed to obtain initial prediction probabilities;

[0032] Obtain the current context information of the corresponding home appliance beverage system;

[0033] User behavior data is format-converted to obtain structured text information, and the structured text information and current context information are processed based on the LLM model to obtain adjustment factors;

[0034] The initial prediction probability is adjusted based on the adjustment factor to obtain the target prediction probability.

[0035] In one implementation, the step of generating an automatic prediction trigger instruction when the target prediction probability and the association rule matching confidence score meet a second preset condition includes:

[0036] When the target prediction probability is greater than or equal to the first threshold and the confidence level of the association rule matching is greater than or equal to the second threshold, an automatic prediction trigger instruction is generated.

[0037] In one embodiment, the step of controlling the wine cooler, refrigerator, and water purifier to preheat based on progressive power includes:

[0038] Generate the estimated time of the banquet based on the device status associated with trigger commands or predicted automatic trigger commands.

[0039] The time between the current time and the expected time of the banquet shall be divided into at least a first time period and a second time period; any point in time in the first time period shall be shorter than any point in time in the second time period.

[0040] When the current time falls into the first time period, the wine cabinet is controlled to preheat based on the first power, the refrigerator is controlled to preheat based on the second power, and the water purifier is controlled to preheat based on the third power.

[0041] When the current time falls into the second time period, the wine cabinet is controlled to preheat based on the fourth power, the refrigerator is controlled to preheat based on the fifth power, and the water purifier is controlled to preheat based on the sixth power; the fourth power is greater than the first power, the fifth power is greater than the second power, and the sixth power is greater than the third power.

[0042] In one embodiment, the home appliance banquet mode linkage control method further includes:

[0043] If the current time is greater than the expected time of the banquet, and the difference between the current time and the expected time of the banquet is greater than the third threshold, and no user-initiated trigger command is obtained, then the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier will stop preheating.

[0044] Alternatively, if a user cancel command is received when the current time is less than the preset time, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier will be controlled to stop preheating.

[0045] Secondly, this application also provides a household appliance beverage system, including a control module, a wine cabinet, a refrigerator, and a water purifier. The wine cabinet is used to adjust the drinking temperature of alcoholic beverages, the refrigerator is used to make ice, and the water purifier is used to adjust the water temperature. The control module is connected to the wine cabinet, the refrigerator, and the water purifier respectively. The control module is used to execute the steps of the household appliance banquet mode linkage control method as described above.

[0046] One of the above technical solutions has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0047] The aforementioned home appliance banquet mode linkage control method is applied to a home appliance beverage system. This system includes a control module, a wine cabinet, a refrigerator, and a water purifier. The wine cabinet regulates the optimal drinking temperature for alcoholic beverages, the refrigerator makes ice, and the water purifier regulates the water temperature. The control module connects to the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier. It acquires a banquet trigger command and, based on this command, obtains the current system status, including the current wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier statuses. Based on these statuses and a preset scene arrangement template, it generates a scene execution sequence. According to the scene execution sequence, it controls the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier to operate and receives execution feedback information from them. When the execution feedback information meets a first preset condition, it outputs banquet ready information, allowing the user to use the temperature-controlled alcoholic beverages, ice, and drinking water. This application treats the banquet mode as a high-level control command with unified scene semantics. Users only need to trigger it once to automatically decompose the banquet scene objective into three parallel device-level sub-tasks: wine cabinet temperature adjustment, refrigerator ice making, and water purifier temperature adjustment. By using preset scene arrangement templates, the parallel execution and status synchronization of the three home appliances are realized, which simplifies the home appliance banquet operation process, improves the operation efficiency of the home appliance banquet mode, avoids missing any banquet node, and enhances the flexibility, initiative, and scenario-based multi-device unified arrangement capability of home appliance banquet control.

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0056] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application 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 for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover 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.

[0057] In addition, the term "multiple" should mean two or more.

[0058] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0059] In one embodiment, the home appliance banquet mode linkage control method provided in this application can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The household appliance beverage system shown includes a control module 10, a wine cabinet 20, a refrigerator 30, and a water purifier 40. The wine cabinet 20 is used to adjust the drinking temperature of alcoholic beverages, the refrigerator 30 is used to make ice, and the water purifier 40 is used to adjust the water temperature. The control module 10 is connected to the wine cabinet 20, the refrigerator 30, and the water purifier 40.

[0060] The control module 10 can be installed in a cloud-based IoT platform, a home smart gateway, or a home appliance with computing power (such as a wine cabinet 20, a refrigerator 30, or a water purifier 40). For example, the control module 10 can be the main control board of the wine cabinet 20, refrigerator 30, or water purifier 40. The control module 10 includes a memory and a processor. The memory is used to store information such as the current system status, preset scene arrangement templates, scene execution sequence, execution feedback information, and banquet readiness information. The processor is used to acquire the banquet trigger command; based on the banquet trigger command, acquire the current system status; the current system status includes the current status of wine cabinet 20, refrigerator 30, and water purifier 40; based on the current status of wine cabinet 20, refrigerator 30, and water purifier 40 and the preset scene arrangement template, generate the scene execution sequence; based on the scene execution sequence, control wine cabinet 20, refrigerator 30, and water purifier 40 to work, and receive execution feedback information from wine cabinet 20, refrigerator 30, and water purifier 40; when the execution feedback information meets the first preset condition, output banquet ready information.

[0061] The wine cabinet 20 can be a semiconductor refrigeration or compressor refrigeration wine cabinet 20, and the alcoholic beverages can be red wine, white wine, sparkling wine, or beer, etc. The wine cabinet 20 can adjust the appropriate drinking temperature of the alcoholic beverages according to their drinking requirements; for example, the wine cabinet 20 can adjust the appropriate drinking temperature for red wine to 16-18℃, and for white wine or sparkling wine to 6-10℃. The refrigerator 30 refers to a semiconductor refrigeration refrigerator 30 or a compressor refrigeration refrigerator 30 with ice-making function. The water purifier 40 refers to a water purification device with water purification and temperature regulation functions; for example, the water purifier 40 can be a countertop water purifier 40, a built-in water purifier 40, or a freestanding water purifier 40.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a method for linkage control of home appliances in a banquet mode is provided, which can be applied to applications such as... Figure 1 Taking the control module of the household appliance beverage system shown as an example, the linkage control method of the household appliance banquet mode includes:

[0063] Step S210: Obtain the banquet trigger command.

[0064] The banquet trigger command can be generated by the user's active operation, or it can be automatically generated by the system based on historical user behavior data. For example, a terminal device (such as a smartphone) may have an application with a corresponding banquet mode. The user operates the terminal device, selects the appropriate banquet mode, and the terminal device transmits the user's operation signal to the main control module of the appliance / beverage system. The main control module then generates the banquet trigger command based on the user's operation signal. Similarly, a wine cabinet, refrigerator, or beverage purifier may have an application with a user-operable banquet mode. The user operates the wine cabinet, refrigerator, or beverage purifier, selects the appropriate banquet mode, and the main control module of the appliance / beverage system generates the banquet trigger command based on the user's operation. Furthermore, the main control module may analyze historical user behavior data to predict the user's planned banquet time and then generate a corresponding banquet trigger command based on the planned banquet time.

[0065] Step S220: Obtain the current system status according to the banquet trigger command; the current system status includes the current wine cabinet status, the current refrigerator status, and the current water purifier status.

[0066] The current system status refers to the status of the corresponding household appliance in the home appliance beverage system. For example, the current status of a wine cabinet can be storage or cooling; the current status of a refrigerator can be cooling or non-ice-making; and the current status of a water purifier can be standby, water purification, or temperature control.

[0067] For example, based on the banquet trigger command, status query commands are sent to the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier, thereby obtaining the current status of the wine cabinet, the refrigerator, and the water purifier.

[0068] Step S230: Generate the scene execution sequence based on the current wine cabinet status, current refrigerator status, current water purifier status, and preset scene arrangement template.

[0069] The preset scene arrangement template is obtained based on system presets. For example, the preset scene arrangement template may include elements of the corresponding home appliance in the home appliance beverage system, target equipment, execution actions, target parameters, execution conditions, timeout thresholds, and completion judgment conditions. For example, the target equipment is a wine cabinet, a refrigerator, and a water purifier; the elements include a wine cabinet rapid cooling sub-task, a refrigerator ice-making acceleration sub-task, and a water purifier temperature adjustment sub-task; the execution actions include starting the rapid cooling mode for the corresponding wine cabinet, starting the ice-making acceleration mode for the corresponding refrigerator, and starting the cooling temperature adjustment mode for the corresponding water purifier; the target parameters include 16-18℃ (red wine) or 6-10℃ (white wine) for the corresponding wine cabinet, full or half ice trays for the corresponding refrigerator, and setting the water temperature and volume according to user preferences for the corresponding water purifier; the execution conditions include the online status of the corresponding wine cabinet. The conditions for completion include: the current temperature is greater than the first preset temperature; the corresponding refrigerator is online and the current ice production is less than the first preset ice production; the corresponding water purifier is online and the current water temperature / volume does not meet the preset target value; the timeout threshold may be 40 minutes for the corresponding wine cabinet, 120 minutes for the corresponding refrigerator, and 30 minutes for the corresponding water purifier; the completion judgment conditions may include: the actual measured temperature of the corresponding wine cabinet is less than or equal to the second preset temperature; the current ice production of the corresponding refrigerator is greater than or equal to the second preset ice production; the current water temperature of the corresponding water purifier falls within the preset temperature range and the current water volume is greater than or equal to the preset water volume.

[0070] Scene execution sequence refers to the task execution sequence of corresponding home appliances in a home appliance beverage system. For example, scene execution sequence can involve the parallel startup of wine cabinets, refrigerators, and water purifiers to ensure that they begin executing their respective sub-tasks at the same time reference, minimizing the overall completion time. Each sub-task executes independently, reports its status asynchronously, and does not block others. Alternatively, scene execution sequence can determine the order of sub-task execution based on execution conditions. If a sub-task is skipped because its execution conditions are not met (e.g., the wine cabinet is already within the target temperature range), it is not considered pending completion. The system records the skipped action and its reason (e.g., the reason is that the condition has been met and no execution is needed), and presents this information in the final feedback to the user. Furthermore, scene execution sequence can determine the order of sub-task execution based on priority and resource scheduling. For example, the execution priority of each sub-task can be set according to its impact on the banquet experience: alcoholic beverage cooling and ice making can be executed in parallel with equal priority; water preparation can start immediately after or slightly earlier (due to shorter preheating / cooling times). If resource competition occurs between devices (such as the total power limit of the household power grid), the system can adjust the load balance according to the preset priority.

[0071] Step S240: Control the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier to work according to the scene execution sequence, and receive execution feedback information from the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier.

[0072] The execution feedback information may include information such as pending startup, execution in progress, and execution completed.

[0073] For example, the control module sends control commands to the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier according to the execution sequence of the scenario, so that the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier start working according to the corresponding execution sequence. The wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier also provide execution feedback information to the control module in real time. The control module then receives the execution feedback information from the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier, and continuously tracks the execution progress of the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier.

[0074] Step S250: When the execution feedback information meets the first preset condition, output the banquet ready information.

[0075] For example, when the execution feedback information from the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier are all execution completion information, a banquet ready information is sent to the user through a terminal device (such as a smartphone), the display panel of the wine cabinet, the display panel of the refrigerator, or the display panel of the water purifier, thereby realizing the linkage control of the banquet mode of the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier.

[0076] In the above embodiments, a banquet trigger command is obtained; based on the banquet trigger command, the current system state is obtained; the current system state includes the current wine cabinet state, the current refrigerator state, and the current water purifier state; based on the current wine cabinet state, the current refrigerator state, the current water purifier state, and a preset scene arrangement template, a scene execution sequence is generated; based on the scene execution sequence, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier are controlled to work, and execution feedback information from the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier is received; when the execution feedback information meets a first preset condition, banquet ready information is output so that the user can use temperature-adjusted alcoholic beverages, ice cubes, and drinking water. This application treats the banquet mode as a high-level control command with unified scene semantics. Users only need to trigger it once to automatically decompose the banquet scene objective into three parallel device-level sub-tasks: wine cabinet temperature adjustment, refrigerator ice making, and water purifier temperature adjustment. By using preset scene arrangement templates, the parallel execution and status synchronization of the three home appliances are realized, which simplifies the home appliance banquet operation process, improves the operation efficiency of the home appliance banquet mode, avoids missing any banquet node, and enhances the flexibility, initiative, and scenario-based multi-device unified arrangement capability of home appliance banquet control.

[0077] In one embodiment, the banquet trigger instruction includes a user-initiated trigger instruction, a device status-related trigger instruction, or a predictive automatic trigger instruction.

[0078] User-triggered commands include one-click trigger commands and voice trigger commands. For example, when operating the display panel of a mobile phone or corresponding home appliance, clicking the "Hospitality Mode" button generates a one-click trigger command. Alternatively, when it's inconvenient for the user to manually operate the display panel of the mobile phone or corresponding home appliance, they can use voice commands (such as issuing a voice signal like "Prepare for a banquet" or "I want to entertain friends"), which will then trigger the control module to generate a voice trigger command.

[0079] Device status-related trigger commands are used to indicate that a user has the intention to host guests but has not yet explicitly triggered it. If a specific combination of home appliance statuses is detected (such as the wine cabinet door and refrigerator door opening sequentially within a short period), a device status-related trigger command is generated. Predictive automatic trigger commands are used to instruct the system to predict a user's potential need to host guests, and to automatically trigger preheating based on the prediction results.

[0080] In one example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the steps for controlling the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier to operate according to the scene execution sequence include:

[0081] Step S310: When the banquet trigger command is a user-initiated command, control the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier to perform banquet operations based on a fixed power.

[0082] The fixed power can be full power. For example, the acquired banquet trigger command is identified. If the banquet trigger command is a user-initiated command, then according to the scene execution sequence, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier are controlled to operate at full power to host the banquet, so that the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier can meet the banquet requirements as quickly as possible while meeting the scene execution sequence.

[0083] Step S320: When the banquet trigger command is a device status associated trigger command or a predicted automatic trigger command, control the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier to preheat based on progressive power; the value of the fixed power is greater than the maximum power value in the progressive power.

[0084] Among them, progressive power refers to phased power, which can divide the preset working time into at least two preheating stages. For example, the preheating stage includes a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage; progressive power is divided into the first stage power corresponding to the first stage, the second stage power corresponding to the second stage, and the third stage power corresponding to the third stage.

[0085] If the banquet trigger command is a device status-related trigger command or a predictive automatic trigger command, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier will preheat based on the first-stage power in the first stage; in the second stage, they will preheat based on the second-stage power; and in the third stage, they will preheat based on the third-stage power, thus achieving a gradual preheating process. It should be noted that the power in the first stage is less than the power in the second stage, and the power in the second stage is less than the power in the third stage.

[0086] In one embodiment, the priority of user-initiated commands is higher than the priority of device state-associated commands, and the priority of device state-associated commands is higher than the priority of predictive automatic commands.

[0087] In one example, the home appliance banquet mode linkage control method also includes:

[0088] When the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier are operating based on progressive power, if a user-initiated trigger command is received, the progressive power preheating operation of the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier will be switched to fixed power banquet operation; within a first preset time, if a device status-related trigger command and a predicted automatic trigger command are received, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier will be controlled to preheat based on progressive power according to the earlier trigger command among the device status-related trigger command and the predicted automatic trigger command.

[0089] For example, when the banquet trigger command is a device status-related trigger command or a predictive automatic trigger command, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier preheat based on progressive power. If a user-initiated trigger command is obtained during the preheating process, the progressive power preheating of the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier is switched to fixed power banquet mode based on the highest priority of the user-initiated trigger command, so that the preheating process is immediately upgraded to the formal banquet mode.

[0090] The first preset time can be obtained according to system presets. For example, if a device status-related trigger command is obtained first within the first preset time, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier are controlled to preheat at a progressive power based on the device status-related trigger command. If a predictive automatic trigger command is then obtained, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier continue to preheat at a progressive power. Alternatively, if a predictive automatic trigger command is obtained first within the first preset time, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier are controlled to preheat at a progressive power based on the predictive automatic trigger command. If a device status-related trigger command is then obtained, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier continue to preheat at a progressive power. In this way, when both the device status-related trigger command and the predictive automatic trigger command occur within the first preset time, they are combined into a single preheating trigger to avoid repeated execution.

[0091] In one example, the steps before switching the wine cooler, refrigerator, and water purifier from progressive power preheating to fixed power entertaining mode include:

[0092] Obtain the remaining execution time for the corresponding fixed-power banquet task.

[0093] For example, the remaining execution time of a fixed-power banquet task can be calculated based on the current equipment status of the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier.

[0094] In one example, the steps following the transition from progressive power preheating to fixed power banqueting mode for the wine cooler, refrigerator, and water purifier include:

[0095] Based on the remaining execution time, control the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier to operate at a fixed power level for entertaining guests.

[0096] For example, based on the remaining execution time of the corresponding wine cabinet, the system controls the wine cabinet to operate at a fixed power for entertaining guests; based on the remaining execution time of the corresponding refrigerator, the system controls the refrigerator to operate at a fixed power for entertaining guests; based on the remaining execution time of the corresponding water purifier, the system controls the water purifier to operate at a fixed power for entertaining guests. This ensures that when the user actively triggers the preheating process after it has started but before it is completed, the system does not restart the execution process. Instead, it recalculates the remaining execution time based on the current device status and accelerates the completion of the remaining part in a fixed power mode, ensuring the shortest overall preparation time and improving the efficiency of the home appliance entertaining mode.

[0097] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the home appliance banquet mode linkage control method also includes:

[0098] Step S410: Obtain user behavior data for the corresponding home appliance beverage system.

[0099] User behavior data may include banquet trigger record data, device parameter adjustment data, banquet event time, preceding behavior sequence data, and seasonal cycles. For example, banquet trigger record data may include trigger timestamps and trigger method data; device parameter adjustment data may include the target temperature, ice production capacity, water preparation temperature, and water preparation volume of each household appliance in each banquet mode; banquet event time may include days of the week, time periods (such as morning, noon, evening, and late night), and holidays; preceding behavior sequence data may include the operation records of each household appliance within a preset time before the banquet is triggered (such as the wine cabinet door being opened or the refrigerator door being opened); and seasonal cycles may include the distribution characteristics of banquet events throughout the four seasons.

[0100] Step S420: Based on the preset association rule mining algorithm, process the user behavior data to obtain the association rule matching confidence.

[0101] The preset association rule mining algorithm can be either the FP-Growth algorithm or the Apriori algorithm. For example, user behavior data includes: Friday, 18:00-20:00, sunny weather, corresponding to an association rule matching confidence level of 85% triggered by hosting a banquet; user behavior data includes: wine cabinet door open, 17:00-18:00, within a 5-minute interval, corresponding to an association rule matching confidence level of 72% triggered by hosting a banquet; user behavior data includes: date is a holiday, time is in the morning, corresponding to an association rule matching confidence level of 68% triggered by hosting a banquet.

[0102] Step S430: Based on the preset prediction model, process the user behavior data to obtain the target prediction probability.

[0103] For example, a pre-defined prediction model can be constructed based on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network.

[0104] By inputting user behavior data into a preset prediction model for processing, the target prediction probability is then output.

[0105] Step S440: When the target prediction probability and the confidence level of the association rule match meet the second preset condition, generate an automatic prediction trigger instruction.

[0106] For example, by comparing the target prediction probability with the corresponding threshold and the association rule matching confidence with the corresponding threshold, and based on the comparison results, when the target prediction probability and the association rule matching confidence meet the second preset condition, a preset automatic trigger command is generated, thereby controlling the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier to preheat based on progressive power.

[0107] In one example, step S440 includes: generating an automatic prediction trigger instruction when the target prediction probability is greater than or equal to a first threshold and the association rule matching confidence is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

[0108] For example, the first threshold can be set to 0.7, and the second threshold can be set to 0.6. When the target prediction probability is greater than or equal to 0.7 and the association rule matching confidence is greater than or equal to 0.6, it is determined to be a high-confidence prediction, and an automatic prediction trigger instruction is generated, immediately initiating the warm-up process. When the target prediction probability is greater than or equal to 0.7 and the association rule matching confidence is less than 0.6, it is determined to be a medium-confidence prediction, and a gradual low-power strategy is used to initiate the warm-up process. It should be noted that if the target prediction probability is less than 0.7, the warm-up is not initiated, and the user is required to trigger it.

[0109] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the steps for processing user behavior data based on a preset prediction model to obtain the target prediction probability include:

[0110] Step S510: Process the user behavior data according to the LSTM prediction model to obtain the initial prediction probability.

[0111] For example, an LSTM prediction model includes an input layer, hidden layers, and an output layer. The input layer receives a sequence of banquet events within a time window of length N (e.g., N=30 days), with the feature vector at each time step containing corresponding user behavior data. The hidden layer uses two LSTM units, each containing 64 neurons, to capture long-term dependencies and periodic patterns in the banquet event sequence. The output layer uses a fully connected layer with a sigmoid activation function, outputting the probability value p∈[0,1] of the banquet event occurring within a future time window of M minutes (e.g., M=60 minutes). For instance, the LSTM prediction model is trained using supervised learning with historical user behavior data, employing a binary cross-entropy loss function and using Adam as the optimizer. To prevent overfitting, a Dropout layer (dropout rate=0.2) and L2 regularization are introduced.

[0112] Step S520: Obtain the current context information of the corresponding home appliance beverage system.

[0113] The current context information may include the current time, current weather, and current calendar events, etc.

[0114] Step S530: Convert the user behavior data to obtain structured text information, and process the structured text information and the current context information based on the LLM model to obtain the adjustment factor.

[0115] Here, LLM (Large Language Model) refers to a large speech model. For example, an LLM module can be a TinyBERT model.

[0116] The user behavior data format is converted into structured text information. The structured text information and the current context information are then input into the LLM model for processing, and the adjustment factor is output.

[0117] Step S540: Adjust the initial prediction probability according to the adjustment factor to obtain the target prediction probability.

[0118] Adjustment factors are added to the initial predicted probability to adjust it, thereby obtaining the target predicted probability. This enables adaptive calibration for different user behavior patterns, further improving the accuracy of personalized predictions. For example, for users who frequently host banquets, the adjustment factor positively increases the preheating trigger sensitivity; for users who frequently host banquets, the adjustment factor negatively reduces the risk of false triggers.

[0119] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the steps for controlling the wine cooler, refrigerator, and water purifier to preheat based on progressive power include:

[0120] Step S610: Generate the estimated time of the banquet based on the device status associated with the trigger command or the predicted automatic trigger command.

[0121] The estimated time for the banquet can be obtained from system presets; for example, the estimated time for the banquet can be set to 30 minutes later.

[0122] Step S620: Divide the time between the current time and the expected time of the banquet into at least a first time period and a second time period; any time point in the first time period is shorter than any time point in the second time period.

[0123] For example, the first and second time periods are consecutive time periods. The first time period corresponds to a mild warm-up phase, and the second phase corresponds to a moderate pre-setting phase. In another example, the time between the current time and the expected time of the banquet can be divided into three consecutive time periods.

[0124] Step S630: When the current time falls into the first time period, control the wine cabinet to preheat based on the first power, the refrigerator to preheat based on the second power, and the water purifier to preheat based on the third power.

[0125] For example, the first power level can be set to 60%, the second power level to 70%, and the third power level to 50%. When the current time falls within the first time period, the wine cabinet cools down at 60% power, the refrigerator makes ice at 70% power, and the water purifier makes and adjusts the water temperature at 50% power.

[0126] Step S640: When the current time falls into the second time period, control the wine cabinet to preheat based on the fourth power, the refrigerator to preheat based on the fifth power, and the water purifier to preheat based on the sixth power; the fourth power is greater than the first power, the fifth power is greater than the second power, and the sixth power is greater than the third power.

[0127] For example, the fourth power setting can be set to 80%, the fifth power setting to 85%, and the sixth power setting to 75%. When the current time falls into the second time period, the wine cabinet cools down at 80% power, the refrigerator makes ice at 85% power, and the water purifier makes and adjusts the water temperature at 75% power.

[0128] In the above embodiments, the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier are controlled in stages to avoid the instantaneous current surge caused by the simultaneous jump of each household appliance from zero power to full power; the preheating process is executed silently in the background without generating additional user interference, thus improving the user experience.

[0129] In one embodiment, the home appliance banquet mode linkage control method further includes:

[0130] If the current time is greater than the estimated time of the banquet, and the difference between the current time and the estimated time of the banquet is greater than the third threshold, and no user-initiated trigger command is received, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier will stop preheating; or, if the current time is less than the preset time, and a user cancellation command is received, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier will stop preheating.

[0131] For example, the third threshold can be set to 30 minutes, meaning the prediction tolerance window is 30 minutes. After the current time reaches the predicted time for the banquet, the timer continues to run. If the current time exceeds the prediction tolerance window and the user has not yet triggered the banquet mode, meaning no user-initiated trigger command has been received, the prediction is deemed a failure. Consequently, the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier are stopped from preheating and restored to their preheating state.

[0132] When the current time is less than the preset time, the user can explicitly cancel the preheating or banquet mode by operating the corresponding home appliance or user terminal. If the user cancels the command, the wine cabinet, refrigerator and water purifier will stop preheating and be restored to their preheating state.

[0133] It should be understood that, although Figures 2 to 6 The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order in which these steps are executed, and they can be performed in other orders. Figures 2 to 6 At least some of the steps in the process may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0134] In one embodiment, this application also provides a home appliance banquet mode linkage control device, comprising:

[0135] The trigger command acquisition unit is used to acquire the banquet trigger command.

[0138] The execution unit is used to control the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier to work according to the execution sequence of the scenario, and to receive execution feedback information from the wine cabinet, refrigerator, and water purifier.

[0139] The condition judgment unit is used to output banquet ready information when the execution feedback information meets the first preset condition.

[0140] Specific limitations regarding the home appliance banquet mode linkage control device can be found in the limitations of the home appliance banquet mode linkage control method mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0141] In one embodiment, this application also provides a home appliance beverage system, including a control module 10, a wine cabinet 20, a refrigerator 30, and a water purifier 40. The wine cabinet 20 is used to adjust the drinking temperature of alcoholic beverages, the refrigerator 30 is used to make ice, and the water purifier 40 is used to adjust the water temperature. The control module 10 is connected to the wine cabinet 20, the refrigerator 30, and the water purifier 40 respectively.

[0143] Based on the control module 10 connected to the wine cabinet 20, refrigerator 30, and water purifier 40 respectively, the control module 10 obtains the banquet trigger command; according to the banquet trigger command, it obtains the current system status; the current system status includes the current status of the wine cabinet 20, the current status of the refrigerator 30, and the current status of the water purifier 40; according to the current status of the wine cabinet 20, the current status of the refrigerator 30, the current status of the water purifier 40, and the preset scene arrangement template, it generates the scene execution sequence; according to the scene execution sequence, it controls the wine cabinet 20, the refrigerator 30, and the water purifier 40 to work, and receives the execution feedback information from the wine cabinet 20, the refrigerator 30, and the water purifier 40; when the execution feedback information meets the first preset condition, it outputs the banquet ready information so that the user can use the temperature-adjusted alcoholic beverages, ice cubes, and drinking water.

[0144] In the above embodiments, the main control module treats the banquet mode as a high-level control command with unified scene semantics.
