[0050] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0051] This embodiment provides a clothing processing device. There are many types of clothing processing devices. Functionally, they typically include washing machines, dryers, spin dryers, and garment care machines. Washing machines are used to automatically wash clothes, dryers are used to dry washed clothes, spin dryers are used to dehydrate washed clothes, and garment care machines can perform special treatments on clothes, such as wrinkle removal and odor removal.
[0052] The following description uses a washing machine as an example to illustrate the embodiment; other clothing processing devices can be considered similarly.
[0053] Please see Figure 1 The garment processing device includes a display screen 1 and a processor connected to the display screen 1. The display screen 1 is an indispensable component of modern equipment, responsible for converting digital signals into visual information and providing users with an intuitive interactive interface. As the user interface of the garment processing device, the display screen 1 provides a graphical user interface that can display all available functions, program options, status information, and operation instructions. Users can intuitively understand the various functions of the garment processing device through icons, text, images, and other elements on the display screen 1.
[0054] Understandably, display screen 1 can be a simple display device or a touchscreen with integrated touch functionality. To provide a more direct and convenient user interaction method, this embodiment describes display screen 1 as a touchscreen. With the touchscreen configuration, users do not need additional physical buttons and can operate directly through display screen 1, such as selecting washing / drying programs, selecting clothing types, washing modes, drying times, etc., as well as starting, pausing, or stopping the process. In other embodiments, display screen 1 may also be merely a display device, and users can operate it through physical buttons; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0055] The processor can receive user commands from display screen 1, parse and process them, and manage the content displayed on display screen 1 to ensure that the user interface can be updated in a timely manner to reflect the current status of the clothing processing device and user operations.
[0056] Please continue reading. Figure 1The display screen 1 is configured to display at least one garment processing item 10 and execution selection items 20 corresponding to the at least one garment processing item 10. The garment processing item 10 may be, for example, a washing / drying program, rinsing, spin-drying, or drying. Simultaneously, the display screen 1 also displays the execution selection items 20 corresponding to these garment processing items 10, such as start, pause, stop, and mode selection.
[0057] The processor is configured to execute at least one processing program corresponding to clothing processing item 10 when execution option 20 is triggered. This can provide convenience for users by allowing them to access frequently used or favorite programs, or even a smart program specifically designed for the clothing processing device. Users no longer need to select clothing processing item 10 first and then click execution option 20 to run the corresponding processing program. Instead, they can simply click execution option 20 to run the processing program corresponding to clothing processing item 10. Execution option 20 is directly associated with clothing processing item 10, improving the response speed and efficiency of the clothing processing device, reducing operation steps, lowering the difficulty of operation, and making operation more convenient.
[0058] In practical use, the AI intelligent function of garment handling devices is widely used. Taking AI intelligent washing as an example, AI intelligent washing can automatically sense the amount of laundry through built-in intelligent sensors and inject the appropriate amount of washing water and automatically add the appropriate amount of detergent or fabric softener. This intelligent adjustment ensures washing effect while improving washing efficiency and saving resources. AI intelligent washing simplifies the laundry process. Users only need to put the clothes into the garment handling device, start the AI intelligent washing mode, and can confidently let the garment handling device complete the subsequent work, enjoying a convenient laundry experience. Therefore, users have ample reason to prioritize the AI intelligent washing function. Understandably, when the garment handling device is a dryer, its AI intelligent function is AI intelligent drying; when the garment handling device is a garment care device, its AI intelligent function is AI intelligent care.
[0059] Furthermore, since the display screen 1 directly displays at least one execution selection option 20 associated with the clothing processing item 10, the user only needs to trigger the execution selection option 20. The processor is configured to execute the processing program corresponding to the clothing processing item 10 when the execution selection option 20 is triggered; that is, the processor can quickly start the corresponding processing program after receiving the trigger signal of the execution selection option 20. When facing the clothing processing item 10 displayed intuitively on the display screen 1, the user can quickly trigger the associated execution selection option 20. Since the processor is specially configured to execute the corresponding processing program immediately when the execution selection option 20 is triggered, the user does not need to perform any additional confirmation steps, thus achieving extreme simplification of operation.
[0060] This embodiment reduces the complexity of user operation and improves the response speed and efficiency of the garment processing device. Users can run the processing program corresponding to at least one garment processing item 10 with just one click, making the operation smoother and faster.
[0061] It should be noted that the above-mentioned at least one clothing processing item 10 can refer to: when the clothing processing device is a washer-dryer set device, it has two clothing processing items 10, which are respectively set with AI intelligent washing and AI intelligent drying. Users can click on the execution selection item 20 corresponding to the two clothing processing items 10 respectively.
[0062] Understandably, when the clothing device has not yet started any program, the execution option 20 corresponding to the clothing processing item 10 refers to the start option.
[0063] The selection option 20 is configured to have a display effect that stands out from other areas on the display screen 1. In one configuration, the selection option 20 is configured to have a higher brightness than other areas on the display screen 1. The higher brightness of the selection option 20 makes it more eye-catching on the display screen 1, quickly attracting the user's attention and providing a more intuitive interactive experience, allowing the user to quickly identify and select it. Furthermore, the high brightness of the selection option 20 ensures clear visibility even in low-light or low-visibility environments, which improves the user-friendliness and ease of use of the clothing handling device for elderly users with poor eyesight.
[0064] In another configuration, the execution selection 20 is configured to have a graphical frame. As a visual element, the graphical frame makes the execution selection 20 more prominent on the display screen 1 and provides a clear boundary for the execution selection 20, helping users to more intuitively identify the click area and improving the accuracy of the operation.
[0065] Understandably, option 20 can also be configured to have a highlight and graphic frame, or to display content in bold, or to display content in a color different from the display content color of other areas of display screen 1, or to be a random combination of the above highlighting methods. This application does not limit this.
[0066] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the execution selection item 20 includes a first execution selection item 21, and the display screen 1 includes a first display unit 100 and a second display unit 200. Specifically, the first display unit 100 is configured to display the first clothing processing item 11 in the clothing processing item 10 and the first execution selection item 21 corresponding to the first clothing processing item 11. The processor is configured to execute the first processing program corresponding to the first clothing processing item 11 when the first execution selection item 21 is triggered, so that the user can intuitively see the selected processing item and its start button during operation, which simplifies the operation process and improves the user's efficiency.
[0067] The first clothing processing item 11 can be the clothing processing item 10 with better processing effect, such as the AI smart item mentioned above. The first clothing processing item 11 and its corresponding first execution selection item 21 are configured on the home page 1A of the display screen 1. By placing the recommended first clothing processing item 11 on the home page 1A of the display screen 1, the user can quickly start the first processing program without having to go through multiple layers of menus, which simplifies the operation process and improves the user experience.
[0068] The second display unit 200 is configured to display at least one second garment processing item 12 among the garment processing items 10 to enhance user choice and operational flexibility. The at least one second garment processing item 12 can be arranged sequentially in a horizontal direction according to a pre-selection order. Each second garment processing item 12 represents a processing option provided by the garment processing device other than the first garment processing item 11. For example, when the first garment processing item 11 is AI intelligent washing, the second display unit 200 can display at least one second garment processing item 12, including mixed wash, quick wash, fast wash, large item washing, etc. Each second garment treatment item 12 corresponds to a specific washing mode. Users can select the second garment treatment item 12 that suits their needs through the second display unit 200 of the display screen 1. Specifically, when users want to perform mixed washing, they can select the "mixed washing" second garment treatment item 12 on the second display unit 200. Users can select the appropriate second garment treatment item 12 according to the material, color and degree of stain of the garments, thereby improving the washing effect and garment care.
[0069] The second display unit 200 is also configured to display the duration information corresponding to the second garment processing item 12, aiming to provide users with a detailed data overview. The second garment processing item 12 and its corresponding duration information are arranged adjacent to each other on the display screen 1. Specifically, each second garment processing item 12 is immediately followed by its scheduled duration information. This layout aims to provide users with an intuitive reference, allowing them to immediately see the corresponding processing time when selecting the second garment processing item 12, thus making a more suitable choice. For example, when the second garment processing item 12 is "mixed wash," its corresponding duration information is displayed as "53 minutes"; when selecting the "quick wash" mode, the corresponding duration information is "15 minutes"; and when selecting the "rapid wash" mode, the duration information is displayed as "30 minutes." This detailed time information display allows users to select the most suitable second garment processing item 12 based on their personal time schedule and garment processing needs.
[0070] Furthermore, to further highlight the duration information and increase user attention, the display size of the duration information was designed to be larger than the display size of the second clothing processing item 12. This visual difference, by increasing the font or icon size of the duration information, ensures that users can quickly identify and read the key duration information during operation.
[0071] Due to the limited size of the display interface of the second display unit 200, and the fact that there are multiple second clothing processing items 12, not all second clothing processing items 12 can be fully displayed on the second display unit 200 at once when there are a large number of second clothing processing items 12. Therefore, the second display unit 200 is specially configured to display at least one preset number of third clothing processing items 13 from the second clothing processing items 12. The preset number can be three, four, or five, and this application does not limit this. With this design, even when the size of the second display unit 200 is limited, the user can easily access and select all available second clothing processing items 12.
[0072] Specifically, when a sliding command is input for the second display unit 200, the sliding command refers to a gesture operation performed by the user on the second display unit 200. The command can be a horizontal left or right swipe, or a vertical up or down swipe, depending on the arrangement of more than a preset number of second clothing processing items 12. This application does not limit this. The processor determines the preset number of third clothing processing items 13 to be displayed according to the arrangement order of the second clothing processing items 12 in at least one of the second clothing processing items 12. For example, if multiple second clothing processing items 12 are arranged horizontally, and the second clothing processing items 12 are arranged in the order of "mixed wash", "quick wash", "express wash" and "large items", and the preset number of third clothing processing items 13 is three, then before the user performs any sliding operation, the second display unit 200 will display "mixed wash", "quick wash" and "express wash". When the user performs a left swipe, the last displayed second garment processing item 12 is replaced by the next second garment processing item 12, while the leftmost second garment processing item 12 disappears from the second display unit 200. The processor updates the displayed content to "Quick Wash," "Rapid Wash," and "Large Items" according to the arrangement order. The second display unit 200 can display a third garment processing item 13 based on the user's swipe command. Understandably, the second display unit 200 displays the third garment processing item 13, which refers to a preset number of subsets selected from the second garment processing items 12.
[0073] It should be noted that the first display unit 100 is locked in the display area of the display screen 1, located on the side of the second display unit 200. It is known that the first display unit 100 is configured to display the commonly used first clothing processing item 11 and the first execution selection item 21. Fixing the position of the first display unit 100 helps the user to quickly start the first processing program without having to search for the relevant function keys on the display screen 1, thus improving the smoothness of operation.
[0074] Furthermore, it helps users develop operating habits, ensuring that the first display unit 100 remains in the same position even in different usage scenarios. This allows users to quickly locate and trigger the first execution selection option 21, improving operational efficiency. Locking the position of the first display unit 100 helps to more rationally plan the spatial layout on the display screen 1, enabling the second display unit 200 to flexibly display different information as needed without worrying about positional conflicts with the first display unit 100.
[0075] For example, the first display unit 100 and the second display unit 200 can be arranged adjacent to each other in a horizontal direction. The first display unit 100 is configured to be locked to the left of the second display unit 200. When operating, the user can naturally start from the left and first come into contact with the first execution selection item 21 of the first clothing processing item 11. This not only conforms to the reading and operation habits of most users, but also makes the operation interface of the clothing processing device more intuitive and easy to understand. In addition, this horizontally adjacent arrangement also provides sufficient space for the second display unit 200 to display at least one second clothing processing item 12, thereby realizing a user interface that is both efficient and flexible.
[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first display unit 100 is further configured to display parameter selection items 22 for the first garment treatment item 11. The parameter selection items 22 and the first execution selection item 21 can be arranged alternately in the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. The processor is configured to control the display screen 1 to display the first parameter adjustment page 1B of the first garment treatment item 11 when the parameter selection item 22 is triggered. The first parameter adjustment page 1B is configured to display the parameter value adjustment selection item 221 and the first execution selection item 21 corresponding to the first garment treatment item 11. That is, by displaying detailed parameter adjustment functions corresponding to the first garment treatment item 11 on the display screen 1, users can personalize the settings for the first garment treatment item 11 according to the garment material, degree of staining, and personal preferences, thereby improving washing results and satisfaction. Simultaneously, the placement of the first execution selection item 21 on the first parameter adjustment page 1B ensures that after completing the parameter value setting, the user can start the first processing procedure of the first garment treatment item 11 with one click without returning to the previous page, allowing the garment treatment device to immediately execute according to the personalized settings, thereby optimizing the user operation process and enhancing the user experience.
[0077] Specifically, the first parameter adjustment page 1B can display at least one parameter value adjustment option 221. Taking the first garment processing item 11 as AI intelligent washing as an example, the parameter value adjustment option 221 can be at least one of the following: intelligent laundry detergent slider, intelligent fabric softener slider, current washing time slider, current rinsing times slider, and current washing temperature slider. It can also be other configured parameter value adjustment options 221. In one setting, at least one parameter value adjustment option 221 is arranged sequentially in a preset order along the horizontal direction. When the user slides along the horizontal direction, i.e., slides to the left or to the right, multiple parameter value adjustment options 221 move, thereby displaying the previously undisplayed parameter value adjustment options 221 on the first parameter adjustment page 1B. In another setting, the first parameter adjustment page 1B displays a preset number of parameter value adjustment options 221, and multiple preset numbers of parameter value adjustment options 221 are arranged vertically. Only one set of preset numbers of parameter value adjustment options 221 is displayed on the first parameter adjustment page 1B, and other sets may not be displayed. When the user slides vertically, that is, slides up or down, the other preset numbers of parameter value adjustment options 221 that are not displayed will be displayed on the first parameter adjustment page 1B.
[0078] Users can intuitively browse and set the parameter values adjustment options 221 that need to be operated or modified. Each parameter value adjustment option 221 is configured with a vertical sliding adjustment function. Understandably, each parameter value adjustment option 221 is configured with indicator arrows, including an upward indicator arrow and a downward indicator arrow, used to indicate to the user to increase or decrease the parameter value of the first garment treatment item 11, respectively. Taking the parameter value adjustment option 221 as the current number of rinses as an example, the user can increase or decrease the number of rinses by sliding vertically upwards; when the user slides vertically downwards, the current number of rinses increases; when the user slides vertically downwards, the current number of rinses decreases. Users can quickly adjust the parameter values of the first garment treatment item 11 through simple sliding operations, providing an intuitive, convenient, and personalized garment treatment operation method.
[0079] Please continue reading. Figure 2In this embodiment, the first execution option 21 is locked to one side of the parameter value adjustment option 221 on the first parameter adjustment page 1B, allowing the user to quickly and intuitively access the first execution option 21 when adjusting parameters, thereby improving operational efficiency. Specifically, the first execution option 21 is located on the left or right side of the first parameter adjustment page 1B, depending on the user's operating habits and the specific interface design. For example, if the parameter value adjustment option 221 is located on the right side of the page, then the first execution option 21 is locked on the right side, arranged side by side with the parameter value adjustment option 221. In this way, after adjusting the parameter value, the user can immediately use the adjacent first execution option 21 to start or stop the clothing processing process without having to perform additional searches or movements on the interface, thereby reducing operation steps and time.
[0080] The first parameter adjustment page 1B can display at least one first automatic sensing selection item 1B1. The first automatic sensing selection item 1B1 and the first execution selection item 21 can be arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction so that users can operate them conveniently. By clicking the first automatic sensing selection item 1B1, the clothing processing device will automatically match and adjust the parameter values of the selection item 221 to a suitable setting according to the characteristics of the first clothing processing item 11 and the clothing placed inside, thereby improving the intelligence level of the clothing processing device and providing users with a more intelligent and worry-free user experience.
[0081] Optionally, the first display unit 100 is also configured to display first additional information, which may be located below the first garment processing item 11. The first additional information may include the geographical coordinates or area name of the location of the garment processing device, real-time indicators such as local water hardness and pH value, and weather-related information such as current ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation probability. This allows the user to obtain additional information related to the garment processing environment on the display screen 1, enhancing the user's control over the garment processing process and their expectations for the washing effect.
[0082] Optionally, the second display unit 200 is also configured to display second additional information, which may be an AI function activation indicator, a signal indicator, and a system time. The AI function activation indicator is used to indicate whether the clothing processing device is in an intelligent assistance function activation state. The signal indicator is used to indicate the current wireless signal strength or network connection status of the clothing processing device. The system time is used to display the time in real time. The second additional information may be located in a corner of the second display unit 200 to avoid interfering with the user's selection and operation of the second clothing processing item 12. This information may be presented in the form of icons, text, or a combination thereof, so that the user can quickly obtain relevant information and maximize the use of the limited display space of the second display unit 200.
[0083] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the display screen 1 is further configured to display a first execution page 1C of the first garment processing item 11 when executing the first processing procedure. The first execution page 1C includes first execution progress information 1C1 and first control selection item 1C2 of the first garment processing item 11. The first execution progress information 1C1 includes, but is not limited to, the remaining processing time, the current processing stage, and possible warnings or prompts. This information is displayed intuitively in graphical or textual form. By providing the first execution page 1C, users can understand the current processing status and monitor the garment processing process in real time, and adjust the processing procedure as needed, thereby enhancing the interaction between the user and the device.
[0084] The first control option 1C2 allows users to intervene during the process, such as pausing, restarting, or terminating the first processing procedure. In case of an emergency, the procedure can be paused immediately, ensuring flexibility and security in use.
[0085] Please continue reading. Figure 4 The first execution page 1C also includes a first clothing addition option 1C3. The main function of the first clothing addition option 1C3 is to allow the user to open the dispensing port to add any missed clothing during the first processing procedure of the clothing processing device. When the user clicks the first clothing addition option 1C3, the clothing processing device will automatically pause the current first processing procedure and unlock the dispensing port so that the user can safely add clothing. Once the user has finished adding clothing and closed the dispensing port, the clothing processing device will automatically resume the first processing procedure before the pause and continue to execute the remaining first processing procedure, so that the user no longer needs to wait for the first processing procedure to complete before adding any missed clothing, thus saving time and resources.
[0086] It should be noted that the first execution progress information 1C1 includes the name of the first clothing processing item 11 and the corresponding countdown information 1C11. The name of the first processing item and the corresponding countdown information 1C11 are located in the central area of the first execution page 1C, so that users can quickly and directly obtain key information. The real-time updated countdown provides users with an approximate time for processing completion, thereby improving the user experience.
[0087] The first execution progress information 1C1 also includes a visual progress indicator 1C12, which is located at the bottom of the first execution page 1C. The visual progress indicator 1C12 is essentially a progress bar. This progress bar is designed to provide users with real-time progress information for the first processing step, especially when the process includes multiple consecutive processing stages. When the first processing step includes multiple processing stages, the names of the corresponding processing stages are marked at different positions on the progress bar. Specifically, assuming the first processing step includes three processing stages—"washing," "rinsing," and "spinning"—the progress bar will display these stage names in text form at the corresponding positions. As the first processing step executes, the progress bar will gradually extend from left to right using bright colors or high-contrast visual elements, based on the current processing stage and time progress. The extension of the progress bar is synchronized with the real-time progress of the processing step, thus intuitively showing the user the current processing stage of the first processing step.
[0088] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the display screen 1 is also configured to display a first completion page 1D of the first clothing processing item 11 when the first processing procedure is completed. The first completion page 1D includes energy consumption parameter information 1D1 of the first clothing processing item 11. When the clothing processing device is a washing machine, the energy consumption parameter information 1D1 of the first clothing processing item 11 is displayed as water consumption and power consumption. When the clothing processing device is a dryer, the power consumption of the first clothing processing item 11 and the status of the filter are displayed. This information can be presented in the form of icons, text or a combination thereof for user reference.
[0089] The first completion page 1D also includes a completion prompt and the total completion time of the first garment processing item 11. The completion prompt is specifically displayed as "XX (i.e., the name of the first garment processing item 11) has been completed," providing the user with immediate feedback on the end of the first processing procedure and enhancing the user's understanding of the processing process. The design of the first completion page 1D realizes the transmission of information throughout the entire process from the start to the end of processing, forming a complete operation loop and improving the functional integrity of the display screen 1.
[0090] The first completed page 1D also includes intelligently generated usage suggestions based on the results of the first processing procedure. This information is designed to guide users in subsequent operations or maintenance. The intelligently generated usage suggestions provide users with solutions or maintenance recommendations, enhancing the intelligence level of the garment handling device and the user experience. Examples of usage suggestions include: "Drum self-cleaning: Wash recommended," to guide users in equipment maintenance.
[0091] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the display screen 1 is also configured to display an animation or background image matching the first garment processing item 11 on the first execution page 1C and / or the first completion page 1D. On the first execution page 1C, the animation or background image corresponds to the currently performing first garment processing item 11. For example, when the first garment processing item 11 is "quick wash," a wavy flowing animation is displayed. It should be noted that on the first execution page 1C, the animation or background image is overlaid at the bottom of the first execution progress information 1C1, the first control selection item 1C2, the first garment addition selection item 1C3, and the visual progress indicator 1C12 of the first garment processing item 11. This allows the animation or background image to serve as the underlying visual element, enhancing the aesthetics of the first execution page 1C and / or the first completion page 1D, while the progress information, control selection items, and visual progress indicator 1C12 serve as upper-level elements, overlaid on top, ensuring that key information on the page remains clearly visible.
[0092] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, when a selection command for selecting the second garment treatment item 12 is input, the display screen 1 is configured to display a second parameter adjustment page 2B for the second garment treatment item 12. The second parameter adjustment page 2B includes parameter value adjustment selection items 221 and a second execution selection item 2B1 corresponding to the second garment treatment item 12. That is, by displaying detailed parameter adjustment functions corresponding to the second garment treatment item 12 on the display screen 1, users can personalize the second garment treatment item 12 according to the garment material, degree of staining, and personal preferences, thereby improving washing effect and satisfaction. At the same time, the placement of the second execution selection item 2B1 in the second parameter adjustment page 2B ensures that after the user completes the parameter value setting, they can start the second garment treatment item 12 with one click without returning to the previous page, so that the garment treatment device can immediately execute according to the personalized settings, thereby optimizing the user operation process and enhancing the user experience.
[0093] The processor is configured to execute the second processing program corresponding to the second clothing processing item 12 when the second execution option 2B1 is triggered. That is, after receiving the trigger signal of the second execution option 2B1, the processor can quickly start the corresponding second processing program. Because the processor is specifically configured to execute the corresponding second processing program immediately when the second execution option 2B1 is triggered, the user does not need to return to the previous page for the second processing program to start immediately. It should be noted that the second parameter adjustment page 2B can be the same as or similar to the first parameter adjustment page 1B, and will not be described further here.
[0094] The second parameter adjustment page 2B can display at least one second automatic sensing selection item 2B2. The second automatic sensing selection item 2B2 and the second execution selection item 2B1 can be arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction so that users can operate conveniently. By clicking the second automatic sensing selection item 2B2, the clothing processing device will automatically match and adjust the parameter value of the selection item 221 to a suitable setting according to the characteristics of the second clothing processing item 12 and the clothing put in. This improves the intelligence level of the clothing processing device and provides users with a more intelligent and worry-free user experience.
[0095] In some embodiments, the display screen 1 is further configured to display an animation or background image matching the first garment processing item 11 on the first parameter adjustment page 1B, and the display screen 1 is further configured to display an animation or background image matching the second garment processing item 12 on the second parameter adjustment page 2B. For example, when the second garment processing item 12 is "quick wash", an animation of a clock hand moving is displayed, and when the second garment processing item 12 is "wool", a wool sweater background image is displayed. The relevant animation or background image is overlaid at the bottom, which will not be described in detail here.
