The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and intended to be used for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

A control method, apparatus, and system of a home appliance according to an embodiment of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of a home appliance according to an embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the control method of the home device in this embodiment may be applied to a control system of the home device, where the control system may include a control device and a control center, the control device may include a detection module, a shooting module, a determination module, a generation module, and a sending module, when the control system of the home device is applied to a single home, the control device in the control system may be disposed at a garage door of the home, or at another position where a vehicle can be shot, and the control center may be disposed inside the home or outside the home, and the control center is connected to the control device.

In this embodiment, taking the control of the home appliance when the control system of the home appliance is applied to a single household as an example, as shown in fig. 1, the control method of the home appliance may include:

and S110, when the vehicle is detected to enter the shooting range, shooting the vehicle to acquire a shot image of the vehicle.

Specifically, whether a vehicle enters a shooting range or not can be detected in real time, the shooting range can be understood that the vehicle can be shot when an object enters the shooting range, and the vehicle can be shot when the vehicle enters the shooting range to obtain a shot image of the vehicle. It is understood that the shot images can be photos or videos, the number of the shot images can be one or more, and the format (such as photo format, video format, etc.) and the number of the shot images can be set accordingly according to the actual application.

For example, if the control method is applied to a control system of a household device, and the control system is applied to a single household, whether a vehicle enters a garage can be detected in real time through a control device arranged at a garage door of the single household in the system, and when the vehicle is detected to enter the garage, the vehicle is shot to obtain a shot image of the vehicle.

And S120, determining the driving direction of the vehicle according to the shot image, and generating corresponding vehicle access condition information according to the driving direction.
