The invention provides a control method of a self-service washing machine door lock. The control method is applied to a server, and includes the following steps: the delay time of door opening sent bya client is received, wherein the delay time of door opening refers to the time after the washing process is finished; after a washing event is finished, whether the delay time of door opening expires or not is judged; if not, an unlocking instruction sent by the client is received, and a washing machine is controlled to open the door lock according to the instruction. According to the control method of the self-service washing machine door lock, washing machines in a washhouse can be efficiently utilized, and if users fail to take out clothes in time after washing is finished, the users needto reserve the delay time and pay for continued occupation of the washing machine.

This invention discloses a method for rapid order retrieval and verification at hotel self-service kiosks, specifically relating to the field of hotel self-service terminal technology. It addresses the problems of inaccurate order retrieval, mismatched identity verification and order matching, and difficulty in accurately releasing orders when order statuses are out of sync, presenting challenges in existing hotel self-service kiosks under abnormal order scenarios. By constructing a continuous processing mechanism encompassing retrieval anchor group generation, initial candidate order recall, candidate order clustering and narrowing, conflict fingerprint extraction, multi-path verification, and service release control, the method achieves effective narrowing, accurate identification, hierarchical verification, and controlled release of target orders even in complex scenarios involving multiple order channels, incomplete correspondence between booking and arrival parties, delayed order status updates, and missing or inconsistent contact information. This improves the retrieval accuracy and release reliability of hotel self-service kiosks in abnormal order scenarios.

This application relates to the field of patient guidance technology, specifically a patient guidance method and system based on a self-service robot. The system employs a path planning + real-time status monitoring approach for patient guidance. First, a multi-dimensional planning strategy is used for path planning to avoid potentially congested areas as much as possible. Then, to address potential road congestion, a 3D grid map of the hospital is constructed to achieve precise navigation across floors. Radar-visual perception and a grid occupancy model are deeply integrated to analyze dynamic environmental information in real time. Based on the comprehensive recognition results of the grid ahead, the system intelligently determines the congestion status and dynamically selects a strategy of continuing, dynamically traversing, detouring, or waiting. Dynamic traversal uses a risk-deviation scoring mechanism to balance safety and path efficiency. This effectively solves the obstacle avoidance problem in highly dynamic pedestrian environments, significantly improving patient guidance efficiency, traffic reliability, and patient experience, providing a verifiable and implementable intelligent patient guidance solution for smart hospitals.
