The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
Hereinafter, a home appliance control method, apparatus and washing machine according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
At present, a user mainly clicks or touches a key on a household appliance control panel to perform control operation on the household appliance. For example, the user may select a washing mode, a washing time, etc. by clicking a key on the control panel of the washing machine. Moreover, as the functions of the household electrical appliance are increased, the control requirements are met by displaying a plurality of rows of keys on a control panel with limited area.
However, the operation is not smooth enough by clicking or touching the key selection function. In addition, for multi-line display keys, when one key is clicked or touched, other keys are easily triggered by mistake.
In order to solve the problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a home appliance, so as to select a control program through a sliding operation, improve the smoothness of the operation, and solve the problems that the control operation of the home appliance is not smooth and convenient enough and other control programs are easily triggered by mistake in the prior art.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a home appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The household appliance control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be used for household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators and the like.
As shown in fig. 1, the household appliance control method includes the following steps:
step 101, when the operation that a user clicks a power key is obtained, a control path is displayed with first brightness.
In this embodiment, the clicking operation of the user on the control panel can be monitored in real time, and when the clicking operation of the user is monitored, the key corresponding to the clicking operation is identified. When the operation that the user clicks the power key is monitored, the control path is displayed with first brightness. Wherein the shape of the control path may be annular, arcuate, linear, etc.
In the embodiment, after the user clicks the power key, the control path is displayed at a certain brightness, so that a prompt effect can be provided for the user, the user can find the control path quickly, and the display effect is enriched.
And 102, when the operation track of the user along the control path is acquired, displaying the control path with second brightness.
When the power key of the household appliance is turned on, the user can place a finger on the control path and slide along the control path. And when the household appliance monitors the sliding operation of the user along the control path and acquires the operation track of the user along the control path, displaying the control path with second brightness. Wherein the second brightness is higher than the first brightness.
Taking the control panel of the washing machine shown in fig. 2 as an example, fig. 2 includes two control paths, namely a circular path shown as 201 and an arc path shown as 202. When the finger of the user slides along the annular path, the annular path is displayed with the second brightness, and the display diagram is shown in fig. 3. In the embodiment, when the user operates the finger along the control path, the brightness of the control path is increased, the display effect is enriched, and the interestingness of the operation is increased.
And 103, lighting up the control program corresponding to the display position according to the position to which the end point of the operation track moves.
In this embodiment, a plurality of control programs may be provided along the control path inside or outside the control path. When the user finger slides along the control path, the sliding operation of the user finger is monitored in real time, and an operation track is obtained. And then, according to the position to which the end point of the operation track moves, lighting and displaying the control program corresponding to the position.
For example, when the user's finger performs a sliding operation on the circular path shown in fig. 2, if the position to which the end point of the operation trajectory is moved corresponds to the cloud program, the cloud program is lit up, and the display diagram is as shown in fig. 3.
As another possible implementation form, the user may also light up the display control program by clicking on the control program.
Taking the control panel of the washing machine shown in fig. 2 as an example, a plurality of control programs such as mixed washing, cloud program, cotton and linen, intelligent washing, quick washing 15' and the like are arranged along the control path at the inner side of the arc-shaped path or the outer side of the annular path. The user can select the control program through any one of the annular path, the arc-shaped path and the direct click control program, so that diversified selections are provided for the user, and different requirements of the user are met.
For example, if the user wants to select the quick wash 15 ', the user may place the hand in the annular region, slide along the ring to a position corresponding to the quick wash 15', place the hand on an arcuate path, slide to a position corresponding to the quick wash 15 ', or directly click on the quick wash 15'.
In this embodiment, the user can be prompted to select the control program by lighting up and displaying the control program.
And 104, when the operation that the user clicks the start key is obtained, controlling the running of the household appliance according to the lighted and displayed control program.
After the display control program is lightened, when the click operation of a user on a starting key on the control panel is monitored, the running of the household appliance is controlled according to the lightened display control program. For example, after a "quick wash" light-up display on the control panel of the washing machine, the user clicks the start button, at which time the washing machine executes a "quick wash" program.
When a user selects a control program through a control path, the control path may be divided into a plurality of control sections in order to improve the accuracy of selection and diversification of display. The method for controlling a home appliance according to another embodiment of the present invention is described below.
As shown in fig. 4, the household appliance control method includes the following steps:
in step 401, when an operation that a user clicks a power button is obtained, a control path is displayed with first brightness.
And 402, when the operation track of the user along the control path is acquired, displaying the control path with second brightness.
Steps 401 through 402 are similar to steps 101 through 102 in the aforementioned embodiment, and therefore are not described herein again.
In step 403, when the position of the end point of the operation track moves out of the control section corresponding to the previous control program, the backlight corresponding to the previous control program is turned off.
In this embodiment, the control path may be divided into a plurality of control sections according to the size, such as the radian or the length, of the control path and the number of the control programs, where each control section corresponds to one control program. And in the process of sliding operation of a user along the control path, monitoring the position to which the end point of the operation track is moved, and turning off the backlight corresponding to the previous control program when the position to which the end point of the operation track is monitored is moved out of the control section corresponding to the previous control program. The color of the backlight may be preset by a user, for example, the user may set the color through an application program capable of controlling the home appliance.
For example, the user performs a sliding operation along the arc-shaped path shown in fig. 2, and when the position of the monitored operation track end point moves out of the control segment corresponding to the cloud program, the white backlight corresponding to the cloud program is turned off.
In step 404, when the position of the end point of the operation track is moved into the control section corresponding to the next control program, the backlight corresponding to the next control program is turned on.
And when the position of the operation track terminal is monitored to move from the control section corresponding to the previous control program to the control section corresponding to the next control program, lightening the backlight corresponding to the next program.
For example, when the position of the operation track end point is moved into the control section corresponding to steam ironing by the control section corresponding to the cloud program, the green backlight of the steam ironing is lightened.
In step 405, when the operation of the user for clicking the start button is acquired, the operation of the home appliance is controlled according to the control program which is lighted and displayed.
Step 405 is similar to step 104 in the previous embodiment, and therefore will not be described herein again.
In the embodiment, the control path is divided into a plurality of control sections, the control sections correspond to the control programs, and when the position of the monitored operation track end point enters the control sections, the control program selected by the user is determined, so that the selection accuracy is improved.
As a possible implementation form, in the process of performing sliding operation along the control path, when the position of the operation track end point moves into the control section corresponding to the control program, the backlight is lightened, and when the operation track end point moves out of the control section, the backlight is extinguished, so that the display effect is more diversified, and the backlight color can be preset by a user, thereby meeting the personalized requirements of the user.
As another possible implementation form, when the position of the operation track end point moves to the control section corresponding to a certain control program and does not move any more, the backlight corresponding to the control section is turned on. For example, in fig. 2, when the user wants to select the quick wash 15 ', the user does not turn on the backlight when performing the sliding operation along the arc-shaped path, passing through the cloud program and steam ironing, and turns on the backlight of the quick wash 15 ' when entering the control segment corresponding to the quick wash 15 ' at the end point of the operation track and no longer moving.
Because the control program may have a plurality of control parameters, in order to improve the convenience of adjusting the control parameters, the corresponding control parameter values may be displayed according to the control parameters selected by the user. Taking the washing machine shown in fig. 5 as an example, when the user needs to adjust the values of the control parameters, the following home appliance control method is performed.
As shown in fig. 6, the home appliance control method includes the steps of:
step 601, when the operation that the user clicks the power key is obtained, displaying the control path with first brightness.
And step 602, when the operation track of the user along the control path is acquired, displaying the control path with second brightness.
Step 603, according to the position to which the end point of the operation track moves, lighting up the control program corresponding to the display position.
Steps 601-603 are similar to steps 101-103 in the aforementioned embodiment, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.
And step 604, displaying the information of the lighted and displayed control program in the area surrounded by the arc-shaped path and/or the annular path.
In this embodiment, the control path may comprise an arcuate path, or a circular path. That is, the control path is in either form. Of course, the control path may also include both arcuate and circular paths. For example, the control panel shown in FIG. 2, the control path includes an arcuate path and a circular path.
After the control program corresponding to the display position is lighted, information of the lighted control program can be displayed in the area surrounded by the arc-shaped path and/or the annular path. Wherein the displayed information may include an expected washing time period. In addition, the state information of the washing machine operation such as whether the child lock is started or not, the wireless connection state and the like can be displayed in the enclosed area.
The information of the selected control program is displayed in the area enclosed by the arc-shaped path and/or the annular path, so that the user can know the information of the selected control program, and the display is more humanized.
Step 605, when the operation of clicking the target control parameter of the plurality of control parameters is detected, lighting the backlight corresponding to the target control parameter.
In this embodiment, a display area for displaying a plurality of control parameters may be disposed on the control panel of the washing machine. For example, as shown in fig. 2, a control panel of the washing machine has a display area for displaying a plurality of control parameters such as washing, rinsing, dewatering, water level, and temperature.
In this embodiment, the display area of the control parameter can be detected in real time. And when the operation of clicking the target control parameter is detected, lightening the backlight corresponding to the target control parameter. Wherein, the color of the backlight can be preset by users.
For example, with the control panel of the washing machine shown in fig. 2, when the user's click on the operation of controlling the parameter washing is detected, the backlight of the washing is turned on as shown in fig. 3.
Step 606, reading the default value of the target control parameter in the lighted and displayed control program.
After the backlight of the target control parameter is lit, the default value of the target parameter is read from the selected control program. For example, the hybrid wash is a currently selected control program, and after the backlight of the target control parameter wash is turned on, the default value of the target control parameter wash is read from the hybrid wash control program, assuming that the default value of the wash is 1 time.
And step 607, replacing the displayed information with default values in the area surrounded by the arc-shaped path and/or the annular path.
And after the default values of the target control parameters are read, replacing the displayed information of the control program with the default values in the area enclosed by the arc-shaped path and/or the annular path. For example, in fig. 2, the expected washing time period of the mixed washing displayed in the area surrounded by the loop path is replaced with the default value of 1 time of washing.
In this embodiment, when the user selects a control program, information of the selected control program may be displayed in an area surrounded by the arc-shaped path or the circular path. When the user operates the control parameters of the selected control program again, the displayed information of the control program can be replaced by the default values of the target control parameters in the area enclosed by the arc-shaped path or the annular path. Thus, the display effect is further enriched.
Further, the user may also adjust the value of the target control parameter. When the user adjusts the value of the target control parameter, the home appliance control method performed by the washing machine further includes the steps of:
and 608, filling the control bar according to the default value.
In this embodiment, the control panel may further display a control bar in a display area for displaying a plurality of control parameters. As shown in fig. 2, a control bar 203 is included in the display area of the control panel.
In this embodiment, after the information of the control program displayed in the area surrounded by the arc-shaped path or the annular path is replaced with the default value, the control bar is filled according to the default value.
Specifically, when the default value is the maximum value of the value range of the target control parameter, the control bar is filled, so that the entire control bar is lit up. Or, according to the ratio of the default value to the maximum value and the length of the whole control bar, the length of the control bar needing to be lightened when the control parameter is the default value can be calculated. In fig. 2, the control bar may be filled from left to right when it is filled, so that the control bar lights up from left, as shown in fig. 3.
And step 609, when the operation of dragging the control bar is detected, determining the personalized value of the detailed control parameter according to the position to which the control bar is dragged.
In this embodiment, the user may adjust the value of the target control parameter by performing a dragging operation on the control bar. Specifically, the dragging operation on the control bar is detected in real time, and when the dragging operation of the control bar is detected, the length of the control bar to be lightened is calculated according to the position to which the control bar is dragged. And then, according to the calculated length of the control bar needing to be lightened, the maximum value of the control parameter and the length of the whole control bar, determining the individualized value of the detailed control parameter.
In addition, as shown in fig. 2, addition and subtraction symbols may be arranged at two ends of the control bar, and the value of the target control parameter may be adjusted by clicking the addition and subtraction symbols.
And step 610, refilling the control bar according to the personalized value.
