AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing water dispensers are prone to overflowing when users are not paying attention, which reduces the user experience.
Method used
Using an infrared sensor, a first camera, and a second camera in conjunction with a controller, the water dispenser achieves intelligent water dispensing control by sensing the approach of a person and capturing images of their face and the water storage container. This includes water temperature adjustment and liquid level detection to prevent overflow.
Benefits of technology
It enables intelligent water dispensing in water dispensers, improving user experience, ensuring water temperature is suitable for individual needs, preventing water overflow, and saving water resources.

Abstract
The present application is applied to the field of water dispensers, and provides a water dispenser, a water dispensing volume control method and apparatus, a device control method and apparatus, and a storage medium. The water dispensing volume control method comprises: acquiring an initial grayscale image of a water storage container, and performing feature filtering on the initial grayscale image to obtain a target grayscale image; determining a pixel contour set from the target grayscale image, and performing contour fitting on a target pixel contour in the pixel contour set, so as to determine a characteristic circle set of the water storage container; and determining a water volume capacity of the water storage container on the basis of the characteristic circle set, so as to obtain a single water dispensing volume of the water dispenser for the water storage container, and on the basis of the single water dispensing volume, generating a water dispensing control instruction to control the water dispenser to dispense water to the water storage container, so as to realize automatic control of the water dispensing volume of the water dispenser, thereby improving the user experience.
