[0011] Figure 1 is a flowchart 1 of a control method for an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment can be applied when a home appliance is controlled to select a target program using a virtual function interface displayed in the target projection area and to execute the target program. The control method for the apparatus according to this embodiment can be executed by a control device for the apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and this device can be implemented in software and / or hardware and integrated into an electronic device that executes this method. The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may be a home appliance on which a laser projection assembly is installed. The home appliance may be a washing machine, a dryer, or a heating and cooling appliance, and this embodiment will describe the control method for the apparatus according to the present invention using a washing machine as an example.

[0012] Referring to Figure 1, the method of this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the following steps.

[0013] In S110, a virtual functional interface is generated by the laser projection assembly, and the virtual functional interface is displayed in the target projection area.

[0014] Here, the laser projection assembly is configured to project a virtual function interface onto a target projection area. The laser projection assembly can be positioned at any location on the body of the washing machine, such as the middle or upper end of the washing machine body, and may be mounted on any side of the exterior of the washing machine. The user can flexibly adjust the mounting position and angle of the laser projection assembly according to the actual mounting situation of the washing machine. The target projection area is any empty area on the body of the washing machine, for example, on the empty housing on the exterior front of the washing machine. The shape of the area is not limited, but is preferably rectangular. The virtual function interface includes not only the functions of all the physical buttons on the washing machine (e.g., water volume, temperature, washing mode, washing time, and number of rinses), but also other functions (e.g., scheduled washing and user call for washing completion).

[0015] In one embodiment, before generating a virtual function interface by a laser projection assembly, when a user washes clothes using a washing device, triggering a physical button or a virtual button corresponding to the power-on function in the washing device, and when detecting that the power-on function of the washing device has been triggered, the washing device further includes performing a power-on operation in response to the triggering operation of the power-on function and controlling the laser projection assembly to turn on.

[0016] In one embodiment, the laser projection assembly includes a first light beam unit and an image generator. The first light beam unit may be an infrared light emitting diode (LED) light source or an infrared laser diode (LD) light source, and the image generator may be an optical device fabricated using digital light processing (DLP) technology or liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) technology.

[0017] In one embodiment, generating a virtual function interface by a laser projection assembly and displaying the virtual function interface in a target projection area includes generating a visible light beam by the first light beam unit and incidenting the visible light beam on the image generator, generating a virtual function interface by the image generator, projecting the target projection area onto the blank housing on the front of the washing device, projecting the virtual function interface onto the target projection area based on the visible light beam, and realizing laser-displaying a virtual button interface within the target projection area. In other embodiments, the visible light beam can be collimated and the collimated visible light beam can be incidented on the image generator.

[0018] In one embodiment, the laser projection assembly further includes a second light beam unit. After displaying a virtual function interface in the target projection area, the second light beam unit generates an infrared light beam and projects the infrared light beam onto the target projection area by emitting a parallel infrared light beam within the range of the target projection area. Here, the size of the infrared light beam matches the size of the visible light beam.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, it is a side schematic view of the laser projection assembly. In the figure, reference sign A is the first light beam unit, reference sign B is the second light beam unit. The first light beam unit A generates a visible light beam, carries the virtual function interface and projects it onto the target projection area. The second light beam unit B generates an infrared light beam and also projects the infrared light beam onto the target projection area.

[0020] In S120, a selection operation on the virtual function interface is received to determine the target program, and the home appliance is controlled to execute the target program.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present application, the user selects washing parameters (such as water level, temperature, number of rinses, etc.) executed from the virtual function interface. The washing device recognizes the user's selection operation, determines the washing parameters selected by the user, and sets the washing parameters selected by the user as the target program. Then, the washing device is controlled to execute the target program to complete the clothing washing task.

[0022] In one embodiment, the method for recognizing the user's selection operation to obtain the target program may be that an image acquisition assembly is arranged on the side of the laser projection assembly. When the user performs a selection operation on the virtual function interface, the image acquisition assembly acquires an image of the target projection area, recognizes the acquired image to obtain the operation content selected by the user, and determines the target program.

[0023] The technical solution according to this embodiment generates a virtual function interface using a laser projection assembly, displays the virtual function interface in a target projection area, receives selection operations on the virtual function interface to confirm the target program, and controls the home appliance to execute the target program. In this application, by placing a laser projection assembly on the home appliance, the laser projection assembly displays the virtual function interface within the target projection area, and further recognizes the user's operations on the virtual function interface using an image acquisition assembly, thereby acquiring the target program to be executed, and controlling the home appliance to execute the target program. The home appliance of this application does not have a physical function panel, and the installation of the program to be executed on the home appliance is realized by a virtual function interface. In this way, the panel space of the home appliance can be saved, further reducing the product volume of the home appliance, reducing the space occupied by the home appliance, and improving the user experience of using the home appliance.

[0024] The control method for the device according to the embodiment of the present application will be further described below, and Figure 3 is flowchart 2 of the control method for the device according to the embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is an optimized version based on the above embodiment, and as a specific optimization, this embodiment will explain in detail the process of determining the target program based on the user's selection operation on the virtual function interface.

[0025] Referring to Figure 3, the method of this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, the following steps.

[0026] In S210, the first light beam unit detects whether or not human features are present within the infrared light beam range.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present invention, the first light beam unit is configured not only to generate a visible light beam and project it onto a target projection area while carrying a virtual functional interface, but may also have an infrared detection function, and the first light beam unit is further configured to receive an infrared reflection signal of an infrared light beam. The human feature may be a finger or palm, or a stylus.

[0028] When a user uses the washing machine to wash clothes, they tap the power button on the washing machine, which controls the laser projection assembly to turn it on. The laser projection assembly projects a virtual function interface onto the washing machine's casing. After the projection is complete, it activates the infrared detection function to detect whether the user's physical features (e.g., fingers) are within the range of the infrared light beam.

[0029] In S220, if the user's physical characteristics appear within the range of the infrared light beam, the infrared reflected signal reflected by the physical characteristics is received.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first light beam unit detects that a human feature (e.g., a finger) is present within the range of the infrared light beam, the human feature reflects some infrared light when it appears in front of the infrared light beam, and the first light beam unit receives the infrared reflection signal reflected by the human feature. If no human feature is detected within a first set time (e.g., T1), the laser projection assembly is turned off, and if the user has not triggered the washing machine's power button within a second set time (e.g., T2), the washing machine is directly powered off. When the user triggers the washing machine's power button again, the laser projection assembly is turned on again.

[0031] In S230, false touch detection is performed on the infrared reflection signal, and then the detection result is acquired.

[0032] In one embodiment, after performing false touch detection on an infrared reflection signal, obtaining the detection result includes: obtaining a first infrared reflection signal corresponding to a predetermined number of detection cycles (e.g., 3 times); determining the corresponding first position information in the target projection area of ​​the human body feature based on the first infrared reflection signal; determining whether or not a position change has occurred in the first position information; and, if a position change has occurred, determining that the detection result is not a false touch.

[0033] When the first light beam unit receives an infrared reflection signal reflected by the human body feature, it records the position of the human body feature in the target projection area at that time. This is recorded once every second set time (e.g., T2, i.e., one detection cycle). If no positional movement occurs within the first set time (e.g., T1, T1 > 3 * T2), i.e., if no positional movement is recorded at least three times, it is determined to be a false touch, and the reflected signal is re-detected until a new position signal appears. If a positional change occurs, the detection result is confirmed to be a non-false touch.

[0034] In S240, if the detection result is not a false touch, the operation content information in the virtual function interface is determined based on the infrared reflection signal, and the target program is determined based on the operation content information.

[0035] In one embodiment, determining operation content information in a virtual function interface based on infrared reflection signals includes: determining corresponding positional information in the target projection area of ​​human body features based on infrared reflection signals received within each detection cycle within a series of consecutive detection cycles following the current detection cycle, acquiring multiple positional information; fitting the multiple positional information to obtain a fitting result; and, if the fitting result is a straight line, matching the multiple positional information with the positions of candidate operation content in the virtual function interface to determine operation content information corresponding to the multiple positional information.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, a two-dimensional coordinate system can be created with the center or lower left corner of the target projection position as the origin, and the multiple positional information may be two-dimensional coordinate data in the two-dimensional coordinate system, and the position of each candidate operation may also be two-dimensional coordinate data in the two-dimensional coordinate system.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, by matching the 2D coordinate data of multiple location information with the 2D coordinate data corresponding to multiple candidate operation contents on a one-to-one basis, the operation contents corresponding to each of the multiple location information can be determined, and the target program can be determined by combining the multiple operations.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the positions of human body features in the target projection area are recorded within a third set time (e.g., T3, T3 > 3 * T2), and these are designated as X1, X2, X3, ..., Xn. It is determined whether the N positions approximate a straight line. If they approximate a straight line, it is considered to be a slide of a human finger. If they do not approximate a straight line, the first set time is waited for further. If no deviation occurs within the first set time, it is determined to be a false touch, the record is cleared, and a new infrared reflection signal is waited for, and the above process is executed.

[0039] The proposed technology according to this embodiment involves a first optical beam unit detecting whether or not human features are present within the infrared light beam range. If the first optical beam unit detects that human features are present within the infrared light beam range, it receives the infrared reflection signal reflected by the human features, performs false touch detection on the infrared reflection signal, obtains the detection result, and if the detection result is not a false touch, determines the operation content information in the virtual function interface based on the infrared reflection signal, and determines the target program based on the operation content information. In this application, the first optical beam unit recognizes the user's operation content in the virtual function interface and further obtains the target program to be executed. The home appliance of this application does not have a physical function panel, and the installation of the program to be executed in the home appliance is realized through a virtual function interface. In this way, the panel space of the home appliance can be saved, the product volume of the home appliance can be reduced, the space occupied by the home appliance can be reduced, and the user's experience of using the home appliance can be improved.

[0048] In one embodiment, the control device of the device may further include an assembly-on module configured to control the laser projection assembly to turn on if it detects that the power-on function of the home appliance has been triggered before the laser projection assembly generates a virtual function interface.
