For example, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at … …" or "when … …" or "in response to a determination", depending on the context.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a method for controlling the operation of a facial cleanser according to an exemplary embodiment may be applied to an electric facial cleanser, the method including:

in step 11, determining a current face area to which a current action part of the facial cleanser belongs;

when a user uses the face cleanser to prepare for cleansing facial skin, the currently active site of the face cleanser includes: the face part that the cleaning head of facial cleaning appearance is current to contact, or, the cleaning head of facial cleaning appearance is located facial top, the facial part that will contact promptly.

And step 11, determining which human face area the current action part of the facial cleanser belongs to. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the implementation of step 11 may at least include the following modes:

in the first mode, image information of a current action part is obtained through a camera, and a current face area to which the current action part belongs is determined according to the image information;

in the embodiment of the disclosure, the facial cleaning instrument can shoot an amplified image of pores or scales of the currently acting part through the built-in camera, and obtain physiological characteristic information of the part according to the amplified image, so as to determine the current face area to which the currently acting part belongs.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the human face may be divided into a plurality of different regions according to the physiological characteristics of the skin of the human face. For example, the pores in the forehead and nose grow upwards, while the pores in the cheek of the face grow downwards; and because the pore growth directions of the cheek parts of the human face are distributed in an outward 45-degree mirror image mode by taking the nose bridge as a center, the whole human face can be divided into three regions, namely a left face region, a right face region and a T-shaped region formed by the forehead and the nose bridge.

After the physiological characteristics of the current face area are determined by adopting the camera, the current face area to which the current action part belongs can be determined according to the physiological characteristic information of the face skin. For example, when the facial cleanser camera shoots that pores of the currently acting part grow upwards, the current face region can be determined to be a T-shaped region of the face.

In the second mode, the relative position of the face cleaning instrument relative to the bridge of the nose is obtained through an infrared sensor, and the current face area is determined according to the relative position;

the facial cleaning instrument can acquire the relative position information of the currently acting part relative to the nose bridge through the infrared sensor. For example, when the face cleanser is located on the left side of the bridge of the nose, it can be determined that the currently applied portion of the face cleanser belongs to the left face region. When the face cleaning instrument is positioned on the right side of the nose bridge, the currently acting part of the face cleaning instrument can be determined to belong to the right face area. When the face cleaning instrument is positioned above the nose bridge, the current action part of the face cleaning instrument can be determined to belong to the T-shaped area of the face.

Of course, the face cleaning device can also determine the current face area by combining the two modes. For example, after physiological feature information of a current acting part and a relative position relative to a nose bridge are obtained according to a camera and an infrared sensor of the face cleaning instrument, a preset region comparison table is inquired to determine a current face region, and the preset region comparison table comprises a corresponding relation between a preset face region and the feature information.

For example, the area comparison table may be as shown in table one:

watch 1

After the face cleaning instrument acquires the physiological characteristic information of the current acting part and the relative position of the current acting part relative to the nose bridge, the first table can be inquired, and the current face area where the current acting part is located can be accurately determined.

The characteristic information of the current action part acquired by the facial cleaning instrument is assumed as follows: pores grow downward, on the left side of the nasal bridge; and inquiring the table I to know that the current action part of the facial cleanser belongs to the left face area.

The third mode is that voice information sent by a user during face cleaning is collected, and a current face area to which a current action part belongs is determined according to a sound source direction included by the voice information;

in the embodiment of the disclosure, the facial cleaning instrument may be provided with a voice collecting device for collecting voice information emitted by a user during facial cleaning, sound spectrums of sound sources from different directions have different rules according to related knowledge, the relative position of the facial cleaning instrument with respect to the mouth is determined according to the sound spectrum characteristics of the different biogenic directions, and then the face area to which the current action part belongs is determined according to the relative position.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the current face region to which the current acting part belongs may also be determined according to the content of the voice information collected by the face cleaning apparatus. For example, user a says to the surrounding people when using the face cleanser to clean: "I feel a little coarser pore on my nose! Or, one acne grows on the left face of the Chinese character, and other voice information. After the face cleaning instrument collects the voice information, the currently acting part of the face cleaning instrument can be determined to be the bridge of the nose or the left face through a built-in voice recognition module.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, a voice assistant may be further built in the facial cleaning apparatus, and when the facial cleaning apparatus is started, a voice prompt message, such as "please explain the current cleaning part", is sent, and after hearing the voice prompt message, the user answers the voice message, such as "left face", or "forehead", and so on. After the face cleaning instrument receives the voice information, the current face area to which the current action part belongs is determined through the voice recognition module.

And in the fourth mode, the current face area to which the current acting part belongs is determined by detecting a preset function button triggered by a user.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the face cleaning instrument or the APP for controlling the face cleaning instrument can be provided with a plurality of function buttons corresponding to the face areas. When the user triggers the button, the face cleaning instrument is controlled to start a face cleaning mode of the preset face area.

Still taking the above three preset human face regions as an example, three function buttons may be preset on the face cleaning apparatus corresponding to the above three regions. The corresponding relationship between the function buttons and the preset face area can be as shown in table two:

push button	Face region
		Push button 1	T type zone (forehead and nose)
Push button 2	Left face area
		Push button 3	Right face area

Watch two

The function buttons may be physical buttons or virtual function buttons displayed through a touch screen. Each function button corresponds to a preset face area. When the face cleaning instrument detects that the user triggers one of the buttons, the current acting part belongs to which current face area can be determined. For example, when the face cleaning instrument detects that the user triggers the button 1, it can be determined that the currently acting part of the face cleaning instrument belongs to the T-shaped region.

In step 12, determining a target working mode of the face cleaning instrument according to the current face area;

in the embodiment of the disclosure, a preset working mode list can be arranged inside the face cleaning instrument. The preset working mode list records the corresponding relation between the preset face area and the working mode.

Step 12 may specifically be: and inquiring the preset working mode list according to the current face area, and determining a target working mode corresponding to the current face area. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the parameter adjustment related to the working mode of the facial cleansing apparatus may include: the included angle between the brush hair and the plane of the cleaning head and the vibration direction of the brush hair.

Still taking the three preset face regions, i.e. the T-shaped region, the left face region, and the right face region as an example, the preset working mode list may be as shown in table three:

watch III

When cleaning the T-shaped area, the face cleaning apparatus can be adjusted to the first operation mode, i.e. the brush on the cleaning head forms a certain included angle α with the cleaning head plane AB, for example, α equals 45 degrees, or α equals 60 degrees, so that the brush inclines downwards to fit the pores of the part, as shown in fig. 2 (a).

For the left face area, because the pores in the area are opened downwards at 45 degrees, the optimal cleaning mode is that the bristles of the electric face cleaning instrument rotate clockwise, and the area is massaged from the left side of the nasal wing in a looping manner from inside to outside and from bottom to top, so as to achieve the optimal cleaning effect of the left face area.

Correspondingly, for the right face area, the pore growth direction is distributed in a mirror image with the pore growth direction of the left face area, therefore, the optimal cleaning mode of the right face area is that the bristles of the electric face cleaning instrument rotate anticlockwise, the area is massaged from the right nasal wing in a looping mode from inside to outside and from bottom to top, so as to achieve the optimal cleaning effect of the right face area.

It should be noted here that, according to physiological characteristics of different parts of a human face, an entire human face may be divided into more regions according to a more detailed division standard, for example, the entire human face further includes a chin region, an eyelid region, and the like.

And step 13, controlling the face cleaning instrument to clean the face according to the target working mode.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the current face area includes any one of the following items: the nose bridge comprises a T-shaped area, a left face area and a right face area, wherein the T-shaped area comprises a forehead and a nose bridge. Step 13 may work in any of the following ways:

when the current face area is the T-shaped area, controlling the face cleaning instrument to work according to a first working mode;

when the current face area is the left face area, controlling the face cleaning instrument to work according to a second working mode;

and when the current face area is the right face area, controlling the face cleaning instrument to work according to a third working mode.

The contents of the first, second and third operation modes are shown in table three.

The above is a detailed description of the cleansing apparatus as an execution main body. Those skilled in the art should understand that the method can also be applied to other user terminals, and the user terminal can be a smart phone, a wearable device, a tablet computer, and the like. An APP, such as the APP named as a face cleaning instrument, can be installed in the user terminal and used for controlling the face cleaning instrument to work.

Referring to fig. 3-1, an application scenario diagram for controlling the operation of the facial cleaning apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment is shown, in a case where the user terminal 100 establishes a communication connection with the electric facial cleaning apparatus 200, a user may implement wireless remote control of the electric facial cleaning apparatus 200 by triggering a user operation entry provided by an application interface of the facial cleaning apparatus APP, and the electric facial cleaning apparatus 200 itself may not be provided with any keys for convenient use and cleaning.

During specific work, the electric face cleaning instrument 200 only needs to send the sensed facial feature information to the user terminal 100, and the subsequent processes of determining the current face area and the target working mode are all executed by the user terminal 100. After the user terminal 100 determines the target operation mode, a control command is transmitted to the electric facial cleaning apparatus 200 to control the electric facial cleaning apparatus 200 to operate according to the target operation mode.

In the application scenario shown in fig. 3-1, the user terminal 100 is responsible for distinguishing the current face area to which the current action area of the face cleaning apparatus belongs, determining a target working mode according to the current face area, generating a corresponding control command according to the determined target working mode, sending the control command to the electric face cleaning apparatus, and controlling the face cleaning apparatus to work according to the target working mode, thereby effectively saving the computing resources of the electric face cleaning apparatus.

Referring to fig. 3-2, another illustrative application scenario for controlling the operation of a facial cleanser in accordance with an exemplary embodiment includes: the face cleaning device comprises a user terminal 100, an electric face cleaning instrument 200 and a server 300. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the user terminal may be any intelligent terminal having an internet access function, and for example, may be embodied as an electronic device such as a smart phone, a PDA (Personal digital assistant), a tablet computer, and a wearable device. The server can be an application server, a server cluster or a cloud platform. In the specific implementation process, the electric face cleaning instrument, the user terminal and the server are independent from each other and are mutually connected, so that the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is jointly implemented.

Compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 3-1, the user terminal 100 may send the facial characteristic information sent by the electric facial cleaning apparatus 200 to the remote application server 300 through the wireless network, and the application server 300 determines the current face area to which the current action part of the facial cleaning apparatus belongs, and determines the target working mode according to the current face area; and then, the control command generated according to the target working mode is transmitted to the user terminal 100, and the user terminal 100 forwards the control command to the electric face cleaning instrument 200 to control the face cleaning instrument 200 to work according to the target working mode. In the application scene, the main operation process is carried out at the application user server, so that the computing resources and the storage resources of the electric face cleaning instrument and the user terminal are saved, and the requirements on the computing performance of the electric face cleaning instrument and the user terminal are reduced.

Referring to fig. 4, another flowchart of a method for controlling the operation of the facial cleaning apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment may further include, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 1:

in step 14, user usage information of the facial cleansing apparatus is acquired, and a user usage record is generated.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the user usage information may include: the using time, the cleaning duration of each area, the acting force, the rotating speed of the bristles and the like.

For each use process of the user, the face cleaning instrument can record the use information in the use process to generate a user use record. Or, the facial cleansing apparatus uploads the usage information to a user terminal, or uploads the user usage information to an application server through the user terminal, and a user usage record of the facial cleansing apparatus is generated according to the user usage information at the user terminal side or the application server side, and the user usage record may include: the equipment mark of the face cleaning instrument and the user use information can also record the material and other information of the brush hair. It should be noted here that, for a product suitable for a specific person, such as a face cleaning apparatus, the device identifier may represent the identity of the user.

In step 15, counting the user usage records of the face cleaning instrument within a preset time period, and generating working modes corresponding to the face areas and conforming to the habits of the user;

in the embodiment of the disclosure, the user terminal or the server may store the usage record of the facial cleansing apparatus of the user, such as the usage record within one year. From the historical usage records, the usage habits of the user using the face cleaning apparatus, such as the cleaning power of a certain area, the cleaning duration of a certain area, the average duration of facial cleaning, what material of the brush bristles the user prefers to use, such as a silicone brush or latex foam, what value the user prefers to adjust the rotation rate of the brush bristles to when cleaning a certain area, and the like, can be analyzed by using related techniques. And setting the parameters of the facial cleaning instrument used by the user as the parameters in the recommended working mode.

For example, taking a statistical user fragrance-less facial cleanser usage record as an example, when a user fragrance is found to be cleaning the left face area, it is customary to adjust the rotation rate of the bristles to: 300 revolutions per minute. Then, the above-mentioned parameter is set as one parameter in the recommended operation mode.

And when the user uses the face cleaning instrument to clean the preset face area, controlling the face cleaning instrument to work according to the working mode corresponding to the face area and conforming to the habit of the user.

For example, when the clean face region of face appearance is used to little fragrant, except working according to above-mentioned second mode, still set up the rotation rate of brush hair automatically to accord with the little fragrant use habit of user, avoid the user to set up the rotation rate of above-mentioned brush hair manually again, improve the intelligent degree of face appearance control, and then promote the user experience of electronic face appearance.

In the method, the user terminal or the server can count the user record of the face cleaning instrument within a preset time period, generate the working modes corresponding to the face areas and conforming to the habits of the user, and control the face cleaning instrument to work by combining the target working modes, so that the work of the face cleaning instrument can meet the personalized requirements of the user, and the convenience and the intelligent degree of the face cleaning instrument are improved. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be a situation in real life, for example, a user may make a thick makeup less fragrant in a certain day, and the cleaning force needs to be increased when cleaning the face, and if the face cleaning apparatus is controlled to clean the face according to the working mode according to the habit of the user, the actual demand of the user in the same day may not be satisfied. For such a situation, after the face area to which the current acting part of the facial cleaning apparatus belongs is determined, the working mode according with the habit of the user may be recommended to the user, and as shown in fig. 5, an information prompt window 101 for prompting the user whether to adopt the recommended working mode is displayed in the facial cleaning apparatus application interface of the user terminal 100. After receiving the confirmation instruction triggered by the user, the user terminal 100 works according to the recommended working mode, otherwise, the user terminal jumps to a manual rotation rate setting page to set the rotation rate of the bristles defined by the user, and the intelligent degree and the user experience of the face cleaning instrument are enhanced.

Referring to fig. 6, a flowchart of another method for controlling the operation of a facial cleansing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment is shown, and based on the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the method may further include:

in step 16, detecting the current state parameters of the face cleaning instrument;

in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the current state parameter of the facial cleansing apparatus may include at least one of the following: the accumulated cleaning time of the face cleaning, the action force of the face, the use time of the cleaning head and other information.

The accumulated cleaning time of the current face cleaning is the sum of the cleaning time of each area when the user uses the face cleaning instrument to clean the face once. The detection method can be as follows: when the face cleaning instrument starts to work, a timer can be started to calculate the accumulated cleaning time t of the face cleaning instrument. For example, assuming that the cleaning time period of the T-shaped area is 1 minute, the left face area takes 1.5 minutes, and the right face area takes 1.5 minutes, the cumulative cleaning time period T of the present facial cleanser is 1+1.5+ 1.5-4 minutes.

The facial action force can be detected by a pressure sensor arranged in the face cleaning instrument.

The length of time that the cleaning head is used can be calculated according to the replacement record of the cleaning head, for example, the last time the cleaning head was replaced is 2016, 6, month and 5 days, and the current time is: 2016, 8, 5 days, the cleaning head is used for 2 months.

In step 17, when the current state parameter exceeds a preset threshold, a warning message is sent out.

The terminal, the server or the face cleaning instrument can set corresponding threshold values for various parameters in the face cleaning instrument. And comparing the state parameters acquired in real time with corresponding preset thresholds, and sending reminding information to a user in the modes of voice, animation, video, vibration and the like when the state parameters reach the preset thresholds.

For example, when the face cleaning instrument is used for cleaning the face, the whole cleaning process is preferably controlled within 3-5 minutes; the face washing time is too long, the kneaded dirt is kneaded into the skin, and the face cleaning time is too long, so that excessive cleaning is caused, the necessary sebum on the face is cleaned, and the face is dry. Therefore, in order to prevent the above situation from occurring, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a cleaning time threshold may be preset according to personal experience, for example, 5 minutes, and when the cumulative usage time of the user using the face cleaning apparatus once exceeds 5 minutes, the first reminding message may be sent out in a manner of voice, animation, vibration, etc. to remind the user that the cleaning time is too long. For example, the first reminder message may be "owner, too long can injure the skin! ".

When the force of the bristles of the face cleaning instrument acting on the skin of the human face is too large, the skin is easily discomforted. Further, due to the difference of sebum thickness and sebaceous gland contained in different face areas, if the same cleaning force is used, the aging of the skin or the generation of wrinkles is accelerated if the force is too large for the thinner areas of the skin such as the forehead and the eye curtain areas.
