[0098] It should be noted that this application can also be applied to shopping mall scenarios, school scenarios, and office scenarios. This application embodiment does not limit the specific application scenarios; the above are just examples.

[0099] The technical solutions of this application and how the technical solutions of this application solve the above-mentioned technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0100] For example, Figure 2 is a flowchart of a cleaning equipment control method provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 2, the cleaning equipment control method is applied to the controller of the cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment control method includes the following steps:

[0101] S201. During the execution of the current cleaning task, a first control instruction is received. The first control instruction is an instruction to perform supplementary cleaning on a designated area in the work area that has been cleaned in the current cleaning task. The designated area is an area marked on the display interface of the smart terminal. The smart terminal is communicatively connected to the cleaning equipment.

[0102] In this embodiment of the application, the designated area may include an area that was previously blocked by an obstacle and subsequently moved by the user. It may also include areas that have been missed or areas with poor cleaning effect. This embodiment of the application does not specifically limit the scenario of the designated area.

[0103] For example, when the cleaning device performs a preset cleaning task, it can clean the area to be cleaned according to a preset path or cleaning strategy. This application is an embodiment and does not limit the specific content corresponding to the preset path or cleaning strategy. For example, the preset path is a bow-shaped cleaning path.

[0104] Further, if a user finds that an area was previously blocked by an obstacle and was subsequently moved by the user during the current cleaning task performed by the cleaning device, the user can use an application or control interface on a smart terminal, such as a smartphone or tablet, to delineate the designated area that needs to be cleaned.

[0105] Further, the application generates a first control command containing the designated area, and then the smart terminal wirelessly...The communication sends the first control command to the controller of the cleaning equipment, which receives the first control command from the smart terminal via wireless communication.

[0106] Wherein, the user can circle a designated area on the cleaning map with his finger to mark it as the designated area that needs to be cleaned. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the operation method of the user determining the designated area on the smart terminal. For example, other touch operations can also be used to determine the designated area.

[0107] S202, Based on the first control command, control the cleaning equipment to move to the designated area to perform supplementary cleaning on the designated area.

[0108] Based on the first control command, the cleaning equipment can be immediately controlled to move to the designated area for supplementary cleaning, or it can be controlled to move to the designated area for supplementary cleaning after the cleaning equipment has completed the current cleaning task, or it can be controlled to move to the designated area for supplementary cleaning at any time. For example, if the cleaning of area 1 is completed during the current cleaning task, and area 2 is to be cleaned in the original order, the cleaning equipment can be controlled to move to the designated area for supplementary cleaning instead of cleaning area 2 first. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the timing of controlling the cleaning equipment to move to the designated area.

[0109] Optionally, after completing the supplementary cleaning of the designated area, the cleaning equipment can be controlled to continue moving to the work area that has not been cleaned in the current cleaning task to perform cleaning.

[0110] For example, after the controller of the cleaning equipment receives the first control command from the smart terminal device, the cleaning equipment can parse the first control command, parse out the information of the designated area, and then adjust its cleaning path to move to the designated area to perform supplementary cleaning to ensure that the area is thoroughly cleaned. After performing supplementary cleaning on the designated area, it continues to move to the work area that has not been cleaned in the current cleaning task to perform cleaning.

[0111] Optionally, after completing the supplementary cleaning of the designated area, the cleaning equipment can also be controlled to stop performing any cleaning tasks, or, after a certain interval, the cleaning equipment can be controlled to move to the work area that has not been cleaned in the current cleaning task to perform cleaning. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the actions performed by the cleaning equipment after completing the supplementary cleaning of the designated area.

[0112] In this way, users can adjust the working area of ​​the cleaning equipment in real time according to the actual situation, flexibly responding to emergencies in the household life instruction manual (page 8 / 23, CN 121549726 A). In particular, users can promptly identify and handle areas that need supplementary cleaning. Through supplementary cleaning, the designated area can be thoroughly cleaned, and after completing supplementary cleaning, the cleaning equipment can automatically continue the unfinished cleaning tasks, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the entire cleaning process and improving cleaning efficiency. In this application, users can...Smart terminals can conveniently control cleaning equipment and target specific areas for cleaning, improving user satisfaction and user experience.

[0113] Optionally, the specified area may include areas that have been missed during cleaning, areas that have been moved away by the user due to obstacles, etc. Areas that have been missed during cleaning refer to areas that have not been cleaned in areas that have already been cleaned by the cleaning equipment, such as a corner that has not been cleaned. Areas that have been moved away by the user due to obstacles refer to areas that were previously blocked by obstacles and were subsequently moved away by the user, such as areas exposed after furniture has been moved away. This application embodiment does not limit the specific scenarios for areas that have not been cleaned.

[0114] For example, after the controller of the cleaning equipment receives the first control command from the smart terminal, the controller can parse the first control command, parse out the information of the specified area that has been moved away by the user due to obstacles, and then adjust the cleaning path of the cleaning equipment to return to the specified area and perform a supplementary cleaning task in the specified area to ensure that the area is thoroughly cleaned.

[0115] In this way, users can promptly identify and address areas that have been missed during cleaning or areas that have been moved away due to obstacles. During the cleaning process, by supplementing cleaning tasks, problem areas can be flexibly remedied, ensuring the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the entire cleaning task, avoiding any omissions, and eliminating the need to rearrange cleaning tasks.

[0116] Optionally, the designated area is an area where the degree of dirt exceeds a preset threshold.

[0117] In this embodiment, an area where the degree of dirt exceeds a preset threshold indicates that the cleaning effect does not meet the user's needs, such as areas where stains or a large amount of garbage remain after cleaning. The preset threshold is used to determine whether a designated area needs to be cleaned again. This embodiment does not specifically limit the size of the preset threshold; it can be set based on user needs.

[0118] Wherein, the area where the cleaning effect does not meet the user's needs refers to the area where, after one or more cleanings by the cleaning equipment, the cleaning effect still does not meet the user's expected cleaning effect, or the cleaning effect is poor or incomplete, such as an area still having obvious dust or stains. This application embodiment does not limit the scenario of the area where the cleaning effect does not meet the user's needs.

[0119] In this application, for areas where the degree of dirt is greater than a preset threshold, the smart terminal can generate a first control instruction for the area that needs to be cleaned again.

[0120] For example, after the controller of the cleaning equipment receives the first control instruction from the smart terminal, the controller can parse the first control instruction, identify the designated area that needs to be cleaned again, and then adjust the cleaning path of the cleaning equipment, return to the designated area, and perform the cleaning task again on the designated area to ensure that the area achieves the cleaning effect expected by the user.

[0121] It should be noted that when the cleaning equipment cleans the designated area again, the cleaning strategy used can be the same as that used by the user.The cleaning strategy used in the previous cleaning of the designated area can be the same or different, that is, the user can also specify it. The strategy to be used for re-cleaning the designated area is sent based on the smart terminal. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the cleaning strategy used for re-cleaning.

[0122] In this way, the user can adjust the working area of ​​the cleaning equipment at any time according to the actual situation, flexibly deal with emergencies in family life. In particular, the user can promptly discover and deal with areas where the degree of dirt is greater than the preset threshold. Through the re-cleaning operation, it can be ensured that all areas achieve the cleaning effect expected by the user, and improve the overall cleaning quality. In this application, the user can conveniently control the cleaning equipment through the smart terminal to ensure that the cleaning effect meets expectations and improve user satisfaction and user experience. Instruction manual 9 / 23 pages 12 CN 121549726 A

[0123] Optionally, the designated area is the area that the cleaning component of the cleaning device has not entered when it is in the second position; based on the first control command, the cleaning device is controlled to move to the designated area to perform supplementary cleaning on the designated area, including:

[0124] Based on the first control command, the cleaning device is controlled to move to the designated area, and the cleaning component of the cleaning device is controlled to switch from the second position to the first position to perform supplementary cleaning on the designated area.

[0125] For example, when the cleaning device performs a cleaning task on a certain area according to a preset cleaning mode, the cleaning device's cloth assembly and / or side brush assembly are in the second position, such as the outward position, i.e., the cloth assembly and / or side brush assembly protrudes a large part of the machine body. At this time, if there is a narrow area in the area, such as a passageway, the cloth assembly and / or side brush assembly cannot enter the passageway for cleaning when it is in the second position, which will result in some uncleaned areas in the area. However, the user finds that when the cloth assembly and / or side brush assembly are in the first position, i.e., the inward position, they can enter the passageway for cleaning.

[0126] Further, the user defines the passageway as a designated area based on the smart terminal, and generates a first control command based on the smart terminal to control the cleaning components of the cleaning device to switch from the second position to the first position. Further, the first control command is sent to the controller of the cleaning device to control the cleaning device to move to the designated area, and after the cleaning components of the cleaning device switch from the second position to the first position, to perform supplementary cleaning on the designated area.

[0127] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the type of the designated area corresponding to the switching of the required cleaning component from the second position to the first position. For example, the designated area can also be an area where the cleaning component of the cleaning device is in the second position and is prone to scratching obstacles.

[0128] In this way, for areas that the cleaning component of the cleaning device cannot access when in the previous working mode, after user confirmation, it is determined that changing the position of the cleaning component of the cleaning device allows access to that area for cleaning, so that the user can...The working mode of the cleaning equipment can be adjusted at any time according to the actual situation to ensure that no cleaning area is missed, thus guaranteeing the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning task, especially in complex environments.

[0129] Optionally, supplementary cleaning of a designated area includes:

[0130] receiving a supplementary cleaning strategy sent by a smart terminal, or identifying the cleaning needs of a designated area and determining a supplementary cleaning strategy based on the cleaning needs;

[0131] performing supplementary cleaning of the designated area based on the supplementary cleaning strategy.

[0132] In this embodiment, the supplementary cleaning strategy is used to indicate the cleaning mode, cleaning intensity, and cleaning path corresponding to the cleaning of the designated area. The cleaning mode includes multiple cleaning modes such as deep cleaning, quick cleaning, carpet cleaning, dry cleaning, and wet cleaning. This embodiment does not limit the specific strategy corresponding to the supplementary cleaning strategy.

[0133] Optionally, the user can select or set a supplementary cleaning strategy on the smart terminal so that the smart terminal sends the selected supplementary cleaning strategy and the first control command to the controller of the cleaning equipment.

[0134] Optionally, identifying the cleaning needs of the supplementary cleaning area can be based on at least one sensor, using artificial intelligence algorithms to identify the cleaning needs of the supplementary cleaning area, such as the material, degree of dirt, and type of stains, and then automatically determining the most suitable supplementary cleaning strategy based on the identified cleaning needs.

[0135] Further, the controller of the cleaning equipment parses the first control command and the supplementary cleaning strategy, adjusts the cleaning path and cleaning mode of the cleaning equipment, and performs supplementary cleaning on the designated area.

[0136] In this way, users can select or set supplementary cleaning strategies according to their own needs and preferences to achieve personalized cleaning solutions, or by determining the supplementary cleaning strategy based on cleaning needs, it can ensure that the designated area receives the most suitable cleaning treatment and improve the cleaning effect; thus, users can flexibly adjust the supplementary cleaning strategy, and the cleaning equipment can also automatically identify cleaning needs and flexibly respond to different cleaning scenarios.

[0137] It should be noted that the instruction operation of the first control command can be a one-time operation, or the instruction of the first control instruction manual (page 10 / 23, CN 121549726 A) can be saved and, when encountering a designated area later, the designated area can be avoided according to the previous control logic. The control logic includes controlling the walking path of the cleaning equipment and / or the cleaning strategy. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the content corresponding to the control logic.

[0138] Optionally, the first control command is a single-use control command.

[0139] For example, the smart terminal generates the first control command based on the user's touch operation. In addition to containing information about the designated area, the first control command is also marked as single-use, so that it is only effective during the current cleaning task.

[0140] Further, after receiving the first control command from the smart terminal, the controller of the cleaning equipment controls the cleaning equipment to move.After the cleaning device completes the supplementary cleaning of the designated area, the first control command will become invalid. That is, when the next cleaning task begins, the cleaning device will no longer automatically move to the previously designated area for supplementary cleaning unless the user sends a new first control command.

[0141] In this way, the single-use control command avoids the complexity of persistent settings. Users do not need to worry about long-term impact on the working path of the cleaning device, so that users only need to send the first control command when needed. The operation is simple, and the cleaning device can be controlled to supplement the designated area for cleaning at any time.

[0142] Optionally, the method further includes: storing the first control command so that the first control command can be directly invoked when the designated area is encountered again.

[0143] In this application embodiment, the cleaning device or smart terminal can store the first control command. The storage location can be the internal memory of the cleaning device, the storage space of the smart terminal, or cloud storage. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0144] The stored information may include the coordinates or location data of the designated area, as well as the related metadata of the command, such as the generation time, user annotation information, etc. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the stored information.

[0145] For example, when the next cleaning task begins, the user can choose to directly call the previously stored first control command to avoid repetitive operations, or open the control application on the smart terminal and select the previously stored command for a specific area without touch operation.

[0146] Optionally, the user can update or delete the stored first control command at any time as needed to flexibly respond to changes in family life.

[0147] In this way, the user does not need to manually set up supplementary cleaning for a specific area every time, saving time and effort and improving operational efficiency. The user can also conveniently call the previously stored command, which is simple to operate, and the stored control command can be quickly called, simplifying the user's operation steps and improving user experience and satisfaction.

[0148] Optionally, the defined area is determined by the user's touch operation on the display interface of the smart terminal; the touch operation includes any of the following: box selection operation, single click operation, double click operation, long press operation, swipe operation, drag and drop operation, and multi-finger operation.

[0149] The box selection operation allows the user to press and hold a point on the screen and drag their finger to form a rectangle. The area within the rectangle is the area selected by the user. The rectangle can also be replaced with other shapes, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0150] The single-click operation allows the user to click a point on the screen. The smart terminal uses the clicked point as the center of the designated area and generates a circular or square area of ​​default size, which is the area selected by the user.

[0151] The double-click operation allows the user to quickly double-click a point on the screen. The smart terminal uses the double-clicked point as the center of the designated area.The center of the specified area is determined, and a larger or predefined circular or square area is generated, which is the designated area selected by the user. (Instruction manual, 11 / 23 pages, 14 CN 121549726 A)

[0152] A long press operation allows the user to long press a point on the display interface until a selection menu or a designated area marker appears. The smart terminal uses the long-pressed point as the center of the designated area and generates an area that the user can adjust in size; this area is the designated area selected by the user.

[0153] A swipe operation allows the user to swipe their finger on the display interface to form a path. The smart terminal marks the area within a certain range on both sides of the swipe path as the designated area.

[0154] A drag-and-drop operation allows the user to press and hold a point on the display interface and then drag their finger to another point to form a rectangular or other shaped area. The smart terminal marks the area between the starting point and the ending point as the designated area.

[0155] Multi-finger operation allows users to operate on the display interface using two or more fingers, such as zooming in, zooming out, or rotating. The smart terminal then generates an area of ​​a specific shape and size based on the multi-finger operation, which is the designated area selected by the user.

[0156] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the implementation methods for determining the designated area using the various touch operations described above. The above are merely illustrative examples, and other implementation methods can also be used to determine the designated area, which will not be described in detail here.

[0157] Therefore, by performing the various touch operations described above on the display interface, the embodiments of this application enable users to flexibly and conveniently determine the designated area that needs supplementary cleaning.

[0158] Optionally, the display interface includes at least a cleaning map; the cleaning map includes multiple cleaning areas; each cleaning area can display its cleaning status for the user to view.

[0159] In this embodiment of the application, the cleaning map can display the layout of various areas, including multiple cleaning areas such as the living room, bedroom, and kitchen. Each cleaning area can display its current cleaning status on the cleaning map, such as cleaned, not cleaned, or being cleaned. In this way, users can view the status of each cleaning area through the display interface, understand the progress of the cleaning task, and judge the cleaning effect of the area after cleaning.

[0160] In this way, users can monitor the progress of the cleaning task in real time through the display interface, understand the cleaning status of each area, and adjust the working area of ​​the cleaning equipment at any time according to the actual situation to flexibly deal with emergencies in family life. The display interface is intuitive and easy to use, and users can operate it conveniently, improving user experience and satisfaction.

[0161] For example, Figure 3 is a flowchart of another cleaning equipment control method provided in this embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 3, the cleaning equipment control method is applied to the controller of the cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment control method includes the following steps:

[0162] S301. During the execution of the current cleaning task, a second control instruction is received. The second control instruction is an instruction to avoid a specific area. The specific area is an area that does not need to be cleaned, as defined on the display interface of the smart terminal. The smart terminal is connected to the cleaning equipment.

[0163] In this embodiment, the area that does not need to be cleaned refers to the area that the user determines does not need to be cleaned by the cleaning equipment, such as an area that has already been cleaned, an area where valuable or fragile items are placed, an area that is currently in use, etc. An area that is currently in use refers to an area that the user is using or that the user finds is being used by other people or pets, such as an area where children play, an area where the user is exercising, etc. This embodiment does not limit the specific area.

[0164] For example, if the user finds that an area does not need to be cleaned or is currently in use during the execution of the current cleaning task by the cleaning equipment, for example, if someone is active in the living room area, the user can determine that the living room area needs to be avoided through an application or control interface on a smart terminal, such as a smartphone or tablet.

[0165] Further, the application generates a second control command including the living room area, and then the smart terminal sends the second control command to the controller of the cleaning equipment via wireless communication. The controller of the cleaning equipment receives the second control command from the smart terminal on page 12 / 23 of the specification, CN 121549726 A, via wireless communication.

[0166] Wherein, the user can circle the living room area on the cleaning map with their finger and mark it as a specific area to be avoided. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the operation method of the user determining the specific area on the smart terminal. For example, other touch operations can also be used to determine the specific area.

[0167] S302. Based on the second control command, control the cleaning equipment to avoid the specific area.

[0168] For example, after the controller of the cleaning equipment receives the second control command from the smart terminal, the controller can parse the second control command, identify the living room area to be avoided, and then control the cleaning equipment to avoid the specific area.

[0169] Optionally, if the cleaning equipment avoids the specific area, it can continue to perform the cleaning task of the remaining area to ensure cleaning efficiency and effect, or it can stop performing the cleaning task. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0170] Therefore, users can adjust the working area of ​​the cleaning equipment in real time according to the actual situation, flexibly respond to emergencies in family life, and improve the intelligence and adaptability of the cleaning equipment. In particular, users can conveniently control the cleaning equipment to avoid specific areas through smart terminals, which is simple to operate and improves user experience and satisfaction. In this application, the cleaning equipment can respond to the control commands generated by the smart terminal and avoid the area being used during the cleaning task.To prevent cleaning equipment from entering areas in use, reduce interference with people and pets, avoid potential collision and injury risks, and avoid areas that do not need cleaning, thereby reducing the working time and energy consumption of the cleaning equipment and extending its battery life and lifespan.

[0171] Optionally, the second control command is a single-use control command.

[0172] For example, the smart terminal can generate a second control command based on the user's touch operation. In addition to containing information about a specific area, the second control command can also be marked as single-use, making it effective only during the current cleaning task.

[0173] Further, after receiving the second control command from the smart terminal, the controller of the cleaning equipment controls the cleaning equipment to avoid the specific area. After the cleaning equipment completes the current cleaning task, the second control command will become invalid. That is, when the next cleaning task begins, the cleaning equipment will no longer avoid the previously specified specific area unless the user sends a new second control command.

[0174] In this way, the single-use control command avoids the complexity of persistent settings. The user does not need to worry about long-term impact on the working path of the cleaning equipment, so that the user only needs to send the second control command when needed. The operation is simple, and the cleaning equipment can be controlled to avoid the specific area at any time.

[0175] Optionally, the method further includes: storing the second control instruction so that it can be directly invoked when a specific area is encountered again.

[0176] It is understood that the storage and usage of the second control instruction are similar to those of the first control instruction. For details, please refer to the description of the first control instruction, which will not be repeated here.

[0177] In this way, the user does not need to manually set the area to avoid each time, saving time and effort and improving operational efficiency. The user can also conveniently recall previously stored instructions, making the operation simple. The stored control instructions can be quickly recalled, simplifying the user's operation steps and improving user experience and satisfaction.

[0178] Optionally, the defined area is determined by the user's touch operation on the display interface of the smart terminal; the touch operation includes any of the following: box selection operation, single click operation, double click operation, long press operation, swipe operation, drag and drop operation, and multi-finger operation.

[0179] It should be noted that the implementation method and effect of generating the touch operation corresponding to the second control command are similar to the implementation method and effect of generating the touch operation corresponding to the first control command (page 13 / 23 of the specification, CN 121549726 A). For details, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0180] Optionally, the display interface includes at least a cleaning map; the cleaning map includes multiple cleaning areas; each cleaning area can display the cleaning status for the user to view.

[0181] It should be noted that the definition and effect of the cleaning map required for generating the second control command are similar to those for generating the first control command.The definition and effect of the cleaning map required when issuing the command are similar. For details, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0182] For example, FIG4 is a flowchart of another cleaning equipment control method provided in the embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG4, the cleaning equipment control method is applied to the controller of the cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment control method includes the following steps:

[0183] S401. During the execution of the current cleaning task, a third control command is received. The third control command is a command to focus on cleaning the first area. The first area is the area that needs to be cleaned with increased cleaning intensity on the display interface of the smart terminal. The first area is either the area being cleaned or the area that has not been cleaned. The smart terminal is communicatively connected to the cleaning equipment.

[0184] Wherein, the area that has not been cleaned includes the area that has not been cleaned corresponding to the execution of the current cleaning task and the area that has not been cleaned corresponding to the current cleaning task.

[0185] In this embodiment, the area requiring enhanced cleaning refers to the area that needs focused cleaning to meet cleanliness requirements, such as areas with stubborn stains, areas where pets are active, or areas used frequently. This embodiment does not limit the specific scenarios for areas requiring enhanced cleaning.

[0186] It should be noted that the implementation processes of S401 and S201 are similar. For details, please refer to the description of S201. However, S401 determines the first area, and the smart terminal generates a third control command.

[0187] S402: Based on the third control command, control the cleaning device to clean the first area multiple times.

[0188] It should be noted that the implementation processes of S402 and S202 are similar. For details, please refer to the description of S202. However, S202 controls the cleaning device to perform supplementary cleaning, while S402 controls the cleaning device to perform multiple cleaning operations.

[0189] It should be noted that the cleaning strategy used by the cleaning device to clean the first area multiple times can be the same as or different from the cleaning strategy used in other areas. That is, the user can also specify the strategy to be used for cleaning the first area multiple times based on the smart terminal. The strategy used for multiple cleanings can also correspond to various types of cleaning strategies. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the cleaning strategy used for multiple cleanings.

[0190] Optionally, after completing multiple cleanings of the first area, the cleaning device can be controlled to stop performing any cleaning tasks, or, after a certain interval, the cleaning device can be controlled to continue performing the current cleaning task. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the actions performed by the cleaning device after completing multiple cleanings of the first area.

[0191] In this way, the user can adjust the working area of ​​the cleaning device at any time according to the actual situation, flexibly respond to emergencies in family life, especially the user can focus on cleaning stubborn stains or frequently used areas, and perform multiple cleanings.The operation ensures that key areas are thoroughly cleaned, improving the overall cleaning quality. In this application, users can conveniently control the cleaning equipment through a smart terminal to ensure that the cleaning effect meets expectations, improving user satisfaction and user experience.

[0192] Optionally, the third control instruction is a single-use control instruction.

[0193] It should be noted that the third control instruction and the first control instruction have similar implementation principles when they are single-use. For details, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0194] In this way, by using the single-use third control instruction, users can flexibly and conveniently control the cleaning equipment to clean the first area multiple times, ensuring the efficient, safe and personalized execution of the cleaning task. The single-use control instruction avoids the complexity of persistent settings, and users do not need to worry about long-term impact on the working path of the cleaning equipment. The single-use control instruction ensures that the cleaning equipment only performs cleaning again in the current task, saving time and resources.

[0195] Optionally, the method further includes: storing the third control instruction so that it can be directly invoked when the first area is encountered again.

[0196] It is understood that the storage and usage of the third control instruction are similar to those of the first control instruction. For details, please refer to the description of the first control instruction, which will not be repeated here.

[0197] In this way, the user does not need to manually set up multiple cleanings of the first area each time, saving time and effort and improving operational efficiency. The user can also conveniently recall previously stored instructions, making the operation simple. The stored control instructions can be quickly recalled, simplifying the user's operation steps and improving user experience and satisfaction.

[0198] Optionally, during the execution of the current cleaning task, the cleaning component of the cleaning device is in the second position; based on the third control instruction, controlling the cleaning device to perform multiple cleanings of the first area includes:

[0199] Based on the third control instruction, controlling the cleaning device to move to the first area and controlling the cleaning component of the cleaning device to switch from the second position to the first position to perform multiple cleanings of the first area.

[0200] In this application, during the current cleaning task, the cleaning component of the cleaning device is in the second position. However, if the user needs to clean the first area multiple times, but finds that if the cleaning component is in the second position, it may not be able to enter the first area or may easily scratch obstacles in the first area, the user defines the first area based on the smart terminal and generates a third control command based on the smart terminal to control the cleaning component of the cleaning device to switch from the second position to the first position. Furthermore, the third control command is sent to the controller of the cleaning device to control the cleaning device to move to the first area and control the cleaning...After the cleaning component of the cleaning device switches from the second position to the first position, it cleans the first area multiple times.

[0201] In this way, the user can flexibly define the area that needs to be cleaned multiple times through the smart terminal according to actual needs, and control the position of the cleaning component of the cleaning device, so that the cleaning device can better adapt to different cleaning tasks and environments. In addition, by switching the position of the cleaning component, the cleaning device can avoid scratching obstacles when entering a specific area, reducing damage to the equipment and furniture, and improving the safety of the cleaning process.

[0202] Optionally, the defined area is determined by the user's touch operation on the display interface of the smart terminal; the touch operation includes any one of the following: box selection operation, single click operation, double click operation, long press operation, swipe operation, drag and drop operation, and multi-finger operation.

[0203] It should be noted that the implementation method and effect of generating the touch operation corresponding to the third control command are similar to the implementation method and effect of generating the touch operation corresponding to the first control command. For details, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0204] Optionally, the display interface includes at least a cleaning map; the cleaning map includes multiple cleaning areas; each cleaning area can display the cleaning status for the user to view.

[0205] It should be noted that the definition and effect of the cleaning map required to generate the third control command are similar to the definition and effect of the cleaning map required to generate the first control command. For details, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0206] For example, FIG5 is a flowchart of another cleaning equipment control method provided in the embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG5, the cleaning equipment control method is applied to the controller of the cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment control method includes the following steps: Specification 15 / 23 pages 18 CN 121549726 A

[0207] S501. During the execution of the current cleaning task, a fourth control command is received. The fourth control command is an instruction to temporarily clean the second area; the second area is an area defined on the display interface of the smart terminal. The smart terminal is communicatively connected to the cleaning equipment.

[0208] S502. Based on the fourth control command, the cleaning equipment is controlled to temporarily clean the second area.

[0209] In this embodiment, the control of the cleaning equipment to perform temporary cleaning of the second area is determined based on the user's temporary needs. This temporary need allows the cleaning equipment to respond more flexibly to the user's immediate needs. Thus, after the cleaning equipment receives the fourth control command, it immediately moves to the second area for cleaning without waiting for the previous cleaning task to be completed, and without affecting the progress of the entire cleaning task. After the second area is cleaned, cleaning can continue based on the previous cleaning task.

[0210] It should be noted that in this application, only the cleaning order of the second area is determined, that is, the cleaning of the second area...The order is set to the highest priority. The cleaning order determined before the cleaning equipment performs the cleaning task is not specifically adjusted in this embodiment. It can continue to be used after the second area is cleaned, or it can be adjusted adaptively.

[0211] For example, the cleaning order determined before the cleaning equipment performs the cleaning task is area 1-area 2-area 3. The fourth control instruction indicates that the second area is area 2, that is, area 2 needs to be processed first. At this time, the cleaning order of the second area controlled by the fourth control instruction can be area 2-area 1-area 3, or it can be area 2-area 1-area 2-area 3. The fourth control instruction only controls the second area to have the highest priority and performs cleaning first. The cleaning order of other areas is not limited.

[0212] It should be noted that the implementation process of S501 and S201 is similar. For details, please refer to the description of S501. However, the second area determined by S501 is the fourth control instruction generated by the smart terminal. The fourth control instruction is used to control the cleaning equipment to adjust the cleaning order of the second area.

[0213] For example, after the controller of the cleaning equipment receives the fourth control instruction from the smart terminal, the controller can parse the fourth control instruction, identify the adjusted cleaning sequence, and then control the cleaning equipment to clean the second area according to the adjusted cleaning sequence to ensure that the user's temporary needs are met.

[0214] Therefore, the user can temporarily adjust the cleaning sequence according to the actual situation to flexibly deal with emergencies in family life. By prioritizing the cleaning of the second area, it can be ensured that important areas are cleaned in a timely manner, improving the overall cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, by temporarily adjusting the cleaning sequence of the second area, it can be avoided that the cleaning equipment cleans specific areas at inappropriate times, improving the safety and comfort of family members. In this application, the user can conveniently control the cleaning equipment through the smart terminal to ensure that the cleaning effect meets expectations, thereby improving user satisfaction and user experience.

[0215] Optionally, the fourth control instruction is a single-use control instruction.

[0216] It should be noted that the implementation principle of the fourth control instruction is similar to that of the first control instruction when it is single-use. For details, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0217] Thus, by using the single-use fourth control command, users can flexibly and conveniently control the cleaning equipment to adjust the cleaning sequence of the second area, ensuring efficient, safe, and personalized execution of the cleaning task. Furthermore, the single-use control command avoids the complexity of persistent settings, eliminating concerns about long-term impact on the cleaning equipment's work path. The single-use control command also ensures that the cleaning equipment only performs re-cleaning within the current task, saving time and resources.

[0218] Optionally, the method further includes: storing the fourth control command so that it can be directly invoked the next time the second area is encountered.

[0219] It is understood that the storage and usage of the fourth control instruction are similar to those of the first control instruction. For details, please refer to the description of the first control instruction, which will not be repeated here. Manual 16 / 23 pages 19 CN 121549726 A

[0220] In this way, the user does not need to manually set the cleaning order of the second area every time, saving time and effort and improving operational efficiency. The user can also conveniently call the previously stored instructions, making the operation simple. The stored control instructions can be quickly called, simplifying the user's operation steps and improving user experience and satisfaction.

[0221] Optionally, based on the fourth control instruction, controlling the cleaning device to adjust the cleaning order of the second area to perform temporary cleaning of the second area includes:

[0222] Determining the third area corresponding to the current cleaning task; the third area includes at least the area that has not been cleaned;

[0223] Determining the second area to be temporarily cleaned based on the fourth control instruction;

[0224] Adjusting the cleaning order of the second area to be before the cleaning order of the third area to perform temporary cleaning of the second area.

[0225] In some embodiments, the cleaning order of each area before the cleaning task is determined to be area 1-area 2-area 3. If the third area corresponding to the current cleaning task is determined to be area 1, and the second area to be temporarily cleaned is determined to be area 2 based on the fourth control instruction, then the cleaning order of area 2 is adjusted to be before the cleaning order of area 1, and a new cleaning order is generated as area 2-area 1-area 3.

[0226] Wherein, area 1 may be partially cleaned and partially uncleaned. In this case, the new cleaning order can be area 2-area 1 uncleaned area-area 3, or area 2-area 1 (all cleaned areas)-area 3. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this. When cleaning the uncleaned area of ​​area 1, the cleaning device can return to the position point corresponding to when cleaning area 1 was stopped. At this position point, it can continue to clean along the previous cleaning path. In this way, the previously cleaned area does not need to be cleaned again, saving cleaning time and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0227] In some other embodiments, the cleaning order of each area before the cleaning task is determined to be Area 1-Area 2-Area 3. If the third area corresponding to the current cleaning task is determined to be Area 1, and the second area to be temporarily cleaned is determined to be Area 4 based on the fourth control instruction, then the cleaning order of Area 4 is adjusted to be before the cleaning order of Area 1, generating a new cleaning order of Area 4-Area 1-Area 2-Area 3.

[0228] Correspondingly, the cleaning process of Area 1 is similar to that in the above embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0229] Therefore, by adjusting the cleaning order of the second area, the embodiments of this application can ensure that critical areas are cleaned in a timely manner.And priority cleaning, optionally, after prioritizing the cleaning of the second area, the cleaning device can still continue to clean the third area to ensure that all uncleaned areas are cleaned.

[0230] Optionally, temporary cleaning of the second area includes:

[0231] receiving a cleaning strategy sent by the smart terminal, and performing temporary cleaning of the second area based on the cleaning strategy; the cleaning strategy is determined based on the user's temporary needs.

[0232] In the embodiments of this application, the fourth control instruction includes information on the adjusted cleaning order of the second area and the cleaning strategy of the second area. The cleaning strategy can be any cleaning mode, cleaning intensity, and cleaning path specified by the user, etc., and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0233] In this way, by specifying the cleaning strategy for the second area by the user, personalized, targeted, and efficient cleaning of the second area can be achieved, ensuring that the cleaning task meets the current needs.

[0234] Optionally, the defined area is determined by the user's touch operation on the display interface of the smart terminal; the touch operation includes any of the following: box selection operation, single click operation, double click operation, long press operation, swipe operation, drag and drop operation, and multi-finger operation.

[0235] Drag and drop operations can be performed by a user long-pressing a cleaning area and then dragging it to a new position to reorder it. For example, a user can long-press a cleaning area and then drag it to the top of the list to increase its priority. (Instruction manual 17 / 23 pages 20 CN 121549726 A)

[0236] Slide operations can be performed by a user sliding their finger on a cleaning area to display more options, such as marking it as high priority. A user can slide a cleaning area to the right to mark it as high priority.

[0237] Single-click operations can be performed by a user tapping a cleaning area to select it and then using a button or menu option on the screen to change its priority. For example, a user can tap a cleaning area and then select the "Mark as High Priority" button.

[0238] Double-click operations can be performed by a user quickly double-clicking a cleaning area to directly mark it as high priority or to perform other priority adjustments. For example, a user can double-click a cleaning area to mark it as high priority.

[0239] Long-press operations can be performed by a user long-pressing a cleaning area to display a context menu and then selecting a priority adjustment option. For example, a user can long-press a cleaning area and then select the "Priority Sort" option.

[0240] Box selection operation can be performed by the user using multi-select gestures, such as long-pressing and dragging or using checkboxes to select multiple cleaning areas, and then batch adjusting their priority.

[0241] Multi-finger operation can be performed by the user using two or more fingers on the screen simultaneously to select multiple cleaning areas and adjust their order.

[0242] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application implement the above-mentioned various touch operations to adjust the cleaning order of cleaning areas.The current method is not specifically limited; the above is only an example. The cleaning order can also be adjusted based on other implementation methods, which will not be described one by one here.

[0243] Therefore, by performing the above-mentioned various touch operations on the display interface, the user can flexibly and conveniently determine the second area to be temporarily cleaned and adjust the cleaning order of the second area.

[0244] Optionally, the display interface includes at least a cleaning map; the cleaning map includes multiple cleaning areas; each cleaning area can display the cleaning status for the user to view.

[0245] It should be noted that the definition and effect of the cleaning map required to generate the fourth control command are similar to the definition and effect of the cleaning map required to generate the first control command. For details, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0246] It should be noted that the way to enter the display interface is to set a "flexible cleaning mode" button on the application interface of the smart terminal. After the user clicks the button, he / she can enter the visualization page to perform various operations.

[0247] After each operation, the application can also provide feedback to the user through pop-ups or sound prompts to confirm that the operation has been successful, and update the task status in real time in the task progress bar, such as "Living room has been set as priority cleaning" or "Kitchen angle cleaning in progress".

[0288] The smart terminal is communicatively connected to the cleaning equipment; the smart terminal is used to send control commands to the controller;

[0289] The controller is used to execute the method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0290] The control instructions include a first control instruction, a second control instruction, a third control instruction, and a fourth control instruction; correspondingly, controlling the cleaning equipment to perform corresponding actions based on the control instructions includes: controlling the cleaning equipment to avoid a specific area, controlling the cleaning equipment to move to a designated area for supplementary cleaning of the designated area, controlling the cleaning equipment to clean the first area multiple times, and controlling the cleaning equipment to perform temporary cleaning of the second area.

[0292] Optionally, the control instructions are determined by the user selecting the area type on the display interface of the smart terminal. Instruction manual, pages 20 / 23, CN 121549726 A

[0293] In the embodiments of this application, the area type includes a designated area, a specific area, a first area, and a second area. Selecting the area type refers to determining which control command to generate in response to a user's selection operation on the display interface of the smart terminal.

[0294] In some embodiments, in response to a user's operation of clicking or selecting a cleaning area on the display interface of the smart terminal, such as in a cleaning map, multiple icon options pop up in the upper right corner or adjacent area of ​​the cleaning area. These multiple icon options are used to instruct the user to select which area to perform the corresponding action. For example, if there are four icons, the first icon indicates selecting a designated area for supplementary cleaning, the second icon indicates selecting a specific area to avoid, the third icon indicates selecting the first area for multiple cleanings, and the fourth icon indicates selecting the second area for priority cleaning.

[0295] Further, after the user selects an icon to determine the area type, a touch operation can be performed to define the area's range.The operation generates corresponding control commands. The touch operation for defining the area can be referred to the description in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0296] In other embodiments, different shapes of box selection operations can be used to determine which area to select for corresponding actions. For example, a circular box selection operation indicates the selection of a specified area for supplementary cleaning, a rectangular box selection operation indicates the selection of a specific area to avoid, a triangular box selection operation indicates the selection of a first area for multiple cleanings, and a hexagonal box selection operation indicates the selection of a second area for priority cleaning. After the user selects the area type based on the shape selection area, a touch operation for defining the area can be performed, thereby generating corresponding control commands. The touch operation for defining the area can be referred to the description in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0297] It should be noted that the operation method for the user to select the area type in this application embodiment is not specifically limited. The above is only an example.

[0298] In this way, for different cleaning needs of the user, the type of area to be cleaned or avoided can be selected on the display interface of the smart terminal to determine the type of control command generated, so as to control the cleaning equipment to perform different actions.
