The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art, and to provide a control method for a home appliance, which does not select a parameter item from the beginning after adjusting a parameter value to a maximum value or a minimum value, thereby preventing a user from selecting a required parameter item only by adjusting for many times, and bringing convenience to the user in adjusting the parameter item.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the technical scheme that:
the household appliance receives an adjusting instruction, after the parameter value of the working parameter is adjusted to the extreme value, the household appliance receives the adjusting instruction again, and the extreme value is kept selected or the parameter value is reversely adjusted from the current extreme value.
In the scheme, after the parameter item is adjusted to the extreme value, for example, after the parameter item is adjusted to the maximum value, the parameter item is not selected again, so that the condition that the user can adjust the required parameter item only by multiple times of adjustment is avoided, and the invention designs that when the parameter item reaches the extreme value and the user continues to input the same increasing or decreasing instruction, the parameter item is not selected from the beginning, but is kept at the extreme value, so as to remind the extreme value of the parameter item of the user, the user can basically determine the required parameter item according to the extreme value, and then the parameter item can be adjusted in the opposite direction to select the required parameter value.
Preferably, the parameter value of the operating parameter is controlled by a single adjustment command, and when the household appliance receives the single adjustment command, the household appliance controls to increase/decrease the parameter value, and when the parameter value reaches an extreme value and receives the single adjustment command again, the household appliance keeps selecting the extreme value, or reversely adjusts the parameter value from the current extreme value.
In the scheme, the household appliance can realize the adjustment of the parameter value only by receiving a single adjustment instruction without a plurality of control instructions, thereby simplifying the structure of a control panel of the household appliance, and the convenience of parameter adjustment is not influenced by the scheme of reversely adjusting the parameters.
Preferably, after receiving a single adjustment instruction, the household appliance first determines whether the current parameter value reaches an extreme value, if so, controls the extreme value to adjust the parameter value reversely, otherwise, executes the adjustment instruction.
In the above scheme, after receiving a single adjustment instruction, the home appliance performs logic analysis, and determines whether to execute the adjustment instruction or change the adjustment instruction according to whether the parameter value is an extreme value.
Preferably, the home appliance includes a plurality of parameter keys, each parameter key corresponds to a parameter item of the working parameter of the home appliance, when any parameter key is triggered, a single adjustment instruction for adjusting the parameter value of the corresponding parameter item is generated, and when a parameter key is triggered to adjust the parameter value to an extreme value, the parameter key is triggered again, and the home appliance controls the reverse adjustment of the parameter value.
In the above scheme, each parameter key corresponds to different parameter items, for example, in a washing machine, the parameter keys include a water temperature key, a water level key, a washing strength key and the like, thereby ensuring that a user adjusts each working parameter.

In the above scheme, when the household appliance primarily adjusts the working parameter to the extreme value, the single adjustment instruction is received for multiple times to keep the selected extreme value, so as to prompt the user, the user can know that the current parameter is the extreme value, and can keep selecting the extreme value when the user needs to do not adjust the working parameter any more, thereby avoiding that the user does not know that the current parameter is the extreme value and continues to adjust the working parameter, so that the working parameter directly jumps from the current extreme value to another extreme value, and the user needs to perform adjustment operation of the working parameter in the full range again when the user wants to adjust the working parameter to the current extreme value again.
In another scheme, the parameter value of the working parameter is controlled and adjusted by a first adjusting instruction for controlling the parameter value to increase and a second adjusting instruction for controlling the parameter value to decrease, the household appliance receives the first adjusting instruction, and after the parameter value is adjusted to an extreme value, the household appliance receives the first adjusting instruction again, and the parameter value is kept unchanged until the second adjusting instruction is received.
In the scheme, the household appliance can receive two adjusting instructions, so that parameter values can be adjusted in different directions at any time, and the process of adjusting the parameter values is flexible and convenient.
After receiving the first adjusting instruction/the second adjusting instruction, the household appliance firstly judges whether the current parameter value reaches an extreme value, if so, the parameter value is controlled to be unchanged, otherwise, the first adjusting instruction/the second adjusting instruction is executed.
In the above scheme, after receiving the adjustment instruction, the household appliance performs logic analysis to judge whether to execute the adjustment instruction, and when the parameter value reaches an extreme value, the household appliance does not execute the adjustment instruction, so that the parameter value cannot be mutated, and the user can conveniently adjust the parameter value.

The following describes embodiments of the present invention in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in a specific case to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for controlling a home appliance, in which the home appliance receives an adjustment command, adjusts a parameter value of a working parameter to an extreme value, and then receives the adjustment command again, and then keeps selecting the extreme value or adjusts the parameter value reversely from the current extreme value. In the invention, after the parameter value is adjusted to the extreme value, for example, after the parameter value is adjusted to the maximum value, the parameter value is not selected again, so that the condition that the user does not need to adjust the required parameter value for many times when not knowing the maximum value and the minimum value is avoided.
Example one
The present embodiment provides a method for controlling a home appliance, where a parameter value of a working parameter is controlled by a single parameter adjustment instruction, the home appliance receives the single adjustment instruction to control increasing/decreasing the parameter value, and when the parameter value reaches an extreme value and receives the single adjustment instruction again, the home appliance keeps selecting the extreme value, or reversely adjusts the parameter value from the current extreme value. The household appliance can realize the adjustment of the parameter value only by receiving a single adjustment instruction without a plurality of control instructions, thereby simplifying the structure of a control panel of the household appliance, not influencing the convenience of parameter adjustment through a scheme of reversely adjusting the parameter, and avoiding the condition that a user needs to adjust the parameter value from the beginning by keeping a selected extreme value.
After receiving a single adjusting instruction, the household appliance firstly judges whether the current parameter value reaches an extreme value, if so, the parameter value is controlled to be reversely adjusted by the extreme value, otherwise, the adjusting instruction is executed. After receiving the single adjusting instruction, the household appliance performs logic analysis, and determines whether to execute the adjusting instruction or change the adjusting instruction according to whether the parameter value is an extreme value.
The household appliance comprises a plurality of parameter keys, each parameter key corresponds to one parameter item of the working parameters of the household appliance, when any parameter key is triggered, a single adjusting instruction for adjusting the parameter value of the corresponding parameter item is generated, when the parameter key is triggered to adjust the parameter value to an extreme value, the parameter key is triggered again, and the household appliance controls the reverse adjusting parameter value; each parameter key corresponds to different parameter items, for example, in a washing machine, the parameter keys comprise a water temperature key, a water level key, a washing strength key and the like, so that the user is ensured to adjust each working parameter.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: the household appliance is provided with a parameter key 3 for controlling the adjustment of the parameter value in the set direction, if the parameter key 3 is triggered, an adjustment instruction is generated, the household appliance is controlled to adjust the parameter value in the corresponding direction, and when the parameter value reaches an extreme value, the parameter key 3 is triggered again/the parameter key 3 keeps a trigger state, and then the household appliance reversely adjusts the parameter value from the current extreme value.
Wherein the parameter key 3 can be designed based on the triggering times as follows: when the parameter key 3 is triggered once, the parameter value is controlled to adjust one parameter unit to the set direction; when the parameter value reaches the extreme value, the parameter key 3 is triggered again, and the parameter value is controlled to reversely adjust one parameter unit; when the parameter value is adjusted by adopting a key-press mode, the parameter value can be adjusted by one parameter unit in the corresponding direction every time the key-press is triggered.
In another scheme, when the adjustment of the parameter value is not based on the number of times of key triggering but the time of key triggering, the parameter item is continuously changed towards the corresponding direction when the key is in a triggering state, so that the user can quickly adjust the parameter item, and the method is particularly suitable for the condition of large parameter range. And when the parameter key 3 is in a trigger state, controlling the parameter values to sequentially and continuously adjust the parameter values in a set direction, and when the parameter values reach an extreme value, the parameter key 3 is still in the trigger state, and then, reversely and sequentially and continuously adjusting the parameter values by the household appliance.
Taking a washing machine as an example, as shown in fig. 1, a control panel of the washing machine includes a plurality of parameter keys 3: for example, a water temperature key (for adjusting a water temperature parameter), a water level key (for adjusting a water level parameter), a washing liquid (for adjusting a put-in amount parameter), a washing key (for adjusting a washing intensity parameter or a washing duration parameter), each parameter key 3 corresponding to one parameter item of the working parameters, and when a certain parameter key 3 is triggered, an adjusting instruction of the corresponding parameter item is generated, and the parameter value of the corresponding parameter item is controlled to be adjusted in a set direction.
When the parameter value of a certain parameter item is adjusted to the extreme value, the parameter key 3 is triggered again/the parameter key 3 keeps the trigger state, and then the household appliance reversely adjusts the parameter value from the current extreme value.
In order to prompt the user that the current parameter value reaches the extreme value and prevent the user from missing the extreme value during the adjustment of the parameter, the present embodiment provides another parameter value adjustment scheme: the household appliance receives the single adjusting instruction to adjust the working parameter value to an extreme value, then receives the single adjusting instruction for N times, the extreme value is kept selected, and when the household appliance receives the single adjusting instruction for the (N + 1) th time, the reverse adjusting parameter value is controlled; preferably, N is more than or equal to 1. When the household appliance primarily adjusts the working parameter to be the extreme value, the single adjusting instruction is received for multiple times to keep the selected extreme value, so that a prompt is given to a user, the user can know that the current parameter is the extreme value, and can not adjust the working parameter any more and keep selecting the extreme value when in need, thereby avoiding that the user does not know that the current parameter is the extreme value and continues to adjust the working parameter, so that the working parameter directly jumps to another extreme value from the current extreme value, and the user needs to perform the adjustment operation of the working parameter in the whole range again when the user wants to adjust to the current extreme value again.
Example two
In the second embodiment, the parameter value of the working parameter of the household appliance is controlled and adjusted by the first adjustment instruction for controlling the increase of the parameter value and the second adjustment instruction for controlling the decrease of the parameter value, the household appliance can receive the two adjustment instructions respectively, the two adjustment instructions control the increase and decrease of the parameter value respectively, the household appliance receives one adjustment instruction, after the working parameter value is adjusted to the extreme value, the household appliance receives the adjustment instruction again, and the parameter value is kept unchanged until another adjustment instruction is received.
In the scheme, the household appliance can receive the two adjusting instructions, so that the parameter values can be adjusted in different directions at any time, and the process of adjusting the parameter values is flexible and convenient.
The household appliance receives an adjusting instruction, firstly judges whether the current parameter value reaches an extreme value, if so, the parameter value is controlled to be unchanged, otherwise, the adjusting instruction is executed.
In the above scheme, after receiving the adjustment instruction, the household appliance performs logic analysis to judge whether to execute the adjustment instruction, and when the parameter value reaches an extreme value, the household appliance does not execute the adjustment instruction, so that the parameter value cannot be mutated, and the user can conveniently adjust the parameter value.
In another scheme: the parameter value of the working parameter of the household appliance is controlled and adjusted by a first adjusting instruction for controlling the working parameter to increase and a second adjusting instruction for controlling the working parameter to decrease, the household appliance can respectively receive the two adjusting instructions, the two adjusting instructions respectively control the working parameter to increase and decrease, the household appliance receives one adjusting instruction, the adjusting instruction is received again after the working parameter value is adjusted to the extreme value, and then the working parameter value is reversely adjusted by the current extreme value. After the parameter value reaches the extreme value, the household appliance receives the previous adjusting instruction again to adjust the parameter value in the corresponding reverse direction, and the user can select the required parameter value conveniently.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: household electrical appliances include a plurality of parameter keys 3, still include first adjustment key 1 and second adjustment key 2 simultaneously, first adjustment key 1 and second adjustment key 2 are the control key that is used for respectively to increase and reduce direction adjustment parameter value: the method comprises the following specific steps:
the household appliance comprises a first adjusting key 1 and a second adjusting key 2 which respectively adjust parameter values in an increasing direction and a decreasing direction, when a certain adjusting key is triggered, an adjusting instruction for adjusting the parameter values of working parameters in the corresponding direction is generated, the household appliance is controlled to adjust the parameter values in the direction, when the parameter values reach an extreme value, the adjusting key is triggered again/the adjusting key keeps a triggering state, and then the household appliance is controlled to reversely adjust the parameter values/keep selecting the extreme value.
In this embodiment, by setting the first adjustment key 1 and the second adjustment key 2, a user can conveniently and reversely adjust the parameter value at any time in the process of adjusting the parameter value. The scheme makes the process of adjusting the parameter value flexible and convenient.
In one embodiment, after triggering the first adjustment key 1 to adjust the parameter value to the extreme value, the first adjustment key 1 is triggered again/the first adjustment key 1 keeps the triggered state, and then the household appliance keeps selecting the extreme value until the household appliance adjusts the parameter value in the second direction when the second adjustment key 2 is triggered. In the scheme, after the parameter value reaches the extreme value, the adjusting key in the corresponding direction does not work any more, and the user can only select another adjusting key to adjust the parameter value in the other direction.
If the water level parameters comprise 10 gears, the user does not know the maximum water level parameter value and wants to select a higher water level, so the user triggers the first adjusting key 1 to gradually increase the water level parameters, when the water level parameters reach 10, the user triggers the first adjusting key 1 again, the water level parameter value 10 is unchanged, the user can know that the water level reaches the maximum value, and at the moment, the user can slightly retreat a plurality of water level parameters by triggering the second adjusting key 2 to select the required water level parameter value 8.
In another scheme, the household appliance comprises a touch key, the touch key is slid towards different directions to respectively generate adjusting instructions for increasing and decreasing parameter values, when the adjusting parameter value of the touch key is slid towards one direction to reach an extreme value, the touch key is slid towards the direction again, and the household appliance controls the reverse adjusting parameter value or the household appliance control parameter value to be unchanged.
EXAMPLE III
The third embodiment provides a new scheme based on the second embodiment: when the adjusting parameter value of a certain adjusting key is triggered to reach an extreme value, the adjusting key is triggered again, the household appliance judges whether the continuous triggering frequency of the adjusting key is greater than a set value N, if so, the household appliance adjusts the parameter value in the direction corresponding to the adjusting key to circulate to another extreme value or reversely adjusts one parameter unit, otherwise, the household appliance keeps selecting the extreme value.
Of course said N is at least greater than 1, preferably 3 to 4. The design of the scheme meets the habits of different customers, the condition that the parameter item keeps an extreme value is designed, namely the frequency of continuously triggering the adjusting key by the user, when the user continuously triggers the key for adjusting the parameter item to one side of the extreme value for multiple times, the user is judged to select the parameter item again, and the adjustable parameter item is the other extreme value in the range of the parameter item, so that the aim of quickly adjusting the parameter item is achieved. Preferably, N is smaller than the number of parameter values of the corresponding parameter item, so as to facilitate the user to quickly control the parameter value to be switched to another extreme value.
For example, the parameter range of a certain parameter item has 1-10 and 10 levels, when the user selects the 10 level, the increase key is pressed again, the display interface keeps displaying 10, and when the user continuously presses the key for 3 times (N is less than 10 and is 3), the display interface switches the parameter item to 1, so that the quick switching operation of the user is facilitated, and the minimum value of 1 can be selected without pressing the decrease key for 9 times.
Taking a washing machine as an example, after a user triggers the first adjusting key 1 (increase key) to adjust the maximum value of the water temperature parameter value of the washing machine, the first adjusting key 1 is triggered again, the washing machine is kept at the maximum value, but the user wants to select the minimum value, at the moment, the user can continuously trigger the first adjusting key 1 for 3 times, the water level parameter can be directly adjusted to be the minimum value 1, wherein the range of the water level parameter value is 1-10, so that when the user is at the maximum value, the user does not need to trigger the first adjusting key 1 for nine times to select the water level parameter value to be 1, and only needs to continuously trigger the first adjusting key 1 for 3 times to quickly adjust the parameter value to be the lowest parameter value 1.
In this embodiment, in order to satisfy habits of different customers, a condition that the parameter value maintains an extremum is designed, that is, the number of times that the user continuously triggers the adjustment key is determined, when the user continuously triggers the key for adjusting the parameter value to one side of the extremum for multiple times, it is determined that the user needs to select the parameter item again, and at this time, the adjustable parameter item is another extremum in the parameter item range, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly adjusting the parameter item.
In another scheme, after the parameter value of the household appliance is adjusted by triggering a certain adjusting key to reach an extreme value, the adjusting key is still in a triggering state/the adjusting key is triggered again, the household appliance judges whether the time length of the adjusting key keeping the triggering state is greater than a set value T or not after the parameter value reaches the extreme value, if so, the household appliance adjusts the parameter value to be another extreme value and sequentially and continuously adjusts the parameter value in the direction corresponding to the adjusting key, or the household appliance reversely and sequentially adjusts the parameter value, otherwise, the household appliance keeps selecting the extreme value.
Further, after the first adjustment key 1 is continuously triggered to enable the household appliance to adjust the parameter value in the second direction in the reverse direction, the second adjustment key 2 is triggered, the first adjustment key 1 is triggered again, and then the household appliance controls to adjust the parameter value in the first direction corresponding to the first adjustment key 1.
In the above scheme, in the process of reversely adjusting the parameter item, after the second adjusting key 2 is triggered, the first adjusting key 1 is triggered, the household appliance does not control the parameter value to reversely select the parameter value any more, and the household appliance is restored to the normal state: i.e. adjusting the parameter item to the direction corresponding to the adjustment key. The scheme can facilitate exiting the reverse mode and recovering normal operation in the process of reversely selecting the parameter items.
It should be noted that the first adjustment key 1 and the second adjustment key 2 defined in this embodiment may be mechanical keys, touch keys, or touch key touch areas displayed on a touch display screen.
Example four
In the fourth embodiment, the household appliance includes the display unit 4, the display unit 4 displays the parameter value of the current working parameter, and when the parameter value reaches the extremum, the display unit 4 displays the extremum in a highlighted format.
In the scheme, the extreme value is displayed in a highlighted format to prompt a user, so that the user can conveniently select and adjust the target parameter value.
Preferably, the display section 4 displays the extremum by changing a font size and/or a font flicker and/or a font color change and/or a font marking.
The display part 4 displays the extreme value by changing the font size, for example, when the extreme value is reached, the digital font changes to be larger or smaller, which may cause the user to notice that the parameter item has reached the extreme value.
And/or the display part 4 prompts the user that the parameter item reaches the extreme value in a font flashing mode.
And/or the display part 4 prompts the user that the parameter item reaches the extreme value in a font color changing mode.
And/or the display part 4 prompts the user that the parameter item reaches the extreme value in a mode of marking the font, and if the extreme value is displayed, a special symbol is displayed at the same time for identification.
Of course, the user may be prompted in other ways, such as by setting a speaker, indicator lights, and the like.
A more preferable mode is that a progress display bar is arranged on the display interface, and the progress display bar displays the position of the parameter item range where the current parameter item is located, so that a user can conveniently know the position where the current parameter item is located, and the user is assisted in selecting a required parameter value.
EXAMPLE five
In the fifth embodiment, after receiving that the user puts in clothes, the household appliance identifies the clothes information, automatically generates recommended values of various parameter items according to the clothes information, and receives parameter items required by the user to adjust on the basis of the recommended values. In the scheme, the household appliance displays the recommended parameter item which is close to the actual value required by the user, the household appliance displays the recommended parameter item, and then the user can continuously adjust the parameter value on the basis of the recommended value.
Furthermore, the household appliance comprises a plurality of parameter items, each parameter item has a different parameter range, and a user often needs to select a required parameter value for each parameter item, so that more time is wasted.
To further refine the solution, the solution is only applied to the unadjusted parameter item, for example, after a certain parameter item is adjusted, the user adjusts another parameter, the previous parameter item is not changed, and only the parameter value is changed according to the matching from the unadjusted parameter item.
Example six
In this embodiment six, when adjusting parameter value to extreme value at home, the suggestion user prevents that user's misoperation from leading to wasted time, and is specific: when the household appliance adjusts the parameter value to the extreme value, the household appliance controls the user to be prompted in a visual prompting mode and/or an auditory prompting mode and/or a tactile prompting mode; in the invention, in the process of adjusting the working parameters by the user, when the working parameters are detected to be adjusted to the extreme value, the household appliance prompts the user, and the user know the current parameter value to reach the extreme value and can not increase or decrease continuously, so that the situation that the user does not know the current parameter as the extreme value and also continuously adjusts the working parameters like the prior art is effectively avoided, the working parameters directly jump to another extreme value from the current extreme value, and the user needs to perform adjustment operation of the working parameters in a full range again for the purpose of adjusting to the current extreme value again.
In this embodiment, the parameter value of the home appliance includes an extreme value and a next extreme value adjacent to the extreme value, and when the next extreme value is adjusted to the extreme value, the home appliance controls to prompt the user in a visual prompt manner and/or an auditory prompt manner and/or a tactile prompt manner. When the secondary extreme value is transited to the extreme value, the household appliance carries out prompt once, so that the user can know that the parameter value reaches the extreme value.
EXAMPLE seven
The present embodiment explains the manner of prompting a home appliance:
the scheme for visual cues: the household appliance comprises a display part, the display part displays the adjusted parameter value, and the household appliance prompts a user by changing the display format of the display part. Specifically, when the parameter value is adjusted from the secondary extreme value to the extreme value, the display part changes the brightness and/or the color and/or the font size and/or the flicker frequency to prompt the user that the parameter value reaches the extreme value. In the scheme, the display part is used for displaying and prompting the user while displaying the parameter value, and is simple and practical.
Scheme for auditory cues: the household appliance comprises a sound production device, and the household appliance produces sound or changes the sound to prompt a user. When the parameter value is adjusted to the extreme value from the secondary extreme value, the sound generating device changes the size and/or frequency and/or tone of the sound to prompt the user that the parameter value reaches the extreme value. In this scheme, through the sound generating mechanism suggestion user, even the user does not see the display part, also can hear the tip information, ensure to give back the tip information to the user, the generating mechanism can be the speaker or other vocal devices that set up on household electrical appliances.
Scheme for tactile cues: the household appliance comprises a vibration module, and the household appliance prompts a user through vibration of the vibration module or change of a vibration mode. When the parameter value is adjusted to the extreme value from the secondary extreme value, the vibration module changes the vibration intensity and/or frequency to prompt the user that the parameter value reaches the extreme value. In the scheme, when a user adjusts a parameter value, the household appliance needs to be touched, and the vibration module vibrates the visible prompt information to feed back to the user. Preferably, the vibration module can be arranged on a household electrical operation panel, and when a user adjusts an instruction on the operation panel, the vibration module vibrates, so that the hand of the user can feel vibration, and the user can know corresponding prompt information.
Of course, the above three schemes for prompting the user are provided, and these schemes can be used alone or in combination with each other to enhance the prompting effect.
Example eight

The parameter values of the household appliance comprise a secondary maximum value, a secondary minimum value and a plurality of intermediate values between the secondary maximum value and the secondary minimum value, and when the intermediate values are adjusted to the secondary maximum value/the secondary minimum value, the household appliance prompts a user in a visual prompting mode and/or an audible prompting mode and/or a tactile prompting mode. When the intermediate value is adjusted to the next extreme value, the household appliance also prompts the user, and the user can know that the extreme value is about to be reached in advance, so that the user can select good working parameters earlier.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: when the household appliance is adjusted to the sub-maximum value/sub-minimum value from the intermediate value, the household appliance prompts the user in a first prompting mode, and when the household appliance is adjusted to the extreme value from the sub-maximum value, the household appliance prompts the user in a second prompting mode different from the first prompting mode. The household appliance can help the user to select the working parameters as early as possible through the simple first prompt mode and the second prompt mode, and compared with the mode that the user is only prompted in an extreme value, the scheme has a better prompt effect.
The household appliance prompts a user in a first prompting mode, and the prompting comprises the following steps: the household appliance control display screen displays the sub-extreme value in a first display format; the household appliance prompts the user in a second prompting mode, and the prompting comprises the following steps: the household appliance control display part displays the extreme value in a second display format, and the brightness, the color, the font size and the flicker frequency of the parameter values displayed in the first display format are different from those displayed in the second display format.

In the scheme, the adjacent parameter values are displayed through the gradually changed display format, so that the user can know the position of the current working parameter in the total parameter range, and can be helped to select the required working parameter as soon as possible.
Preferably, the gradual change of the display format includes gradual change of the brightness and/or color and/or font size and/or flashing frequency of the display parameter values. For example, in the process of adjusting each parameter value once, the font of the parameter value displayed by the display part becomes larger once or becomes smaller sequentially, or the color gradually changes sequentially, or the frequency of the flicker increases/decreases sequentially.
Example ten
In the tenth embodiment, a control process for reversely adjusting the operating parameters is described:
when the parameter value is reversely adjusted from the maximum value, the household appliance detects whether the parameter value is adjusted to the minimum value/the minimum value, if so, the household appliance controls to prompt the user in a visual prompt mode and/or an auditory prompt mode and/or a tactile prompt mode. In the process of reversely adjusting the parameter values, the condition that the reversely-adjusted working parameters are actively adjusted by the user is considered, so that in the process of reversely adjusting the parameter values by the extreme values, the display format of each parameter value is kept constant until the parameter values reach the extreme value or the next extreme value on the other side, the user is prompted, the process is simple, and the operation judgment of the user is not influenced.
Preferably, the display part displays the maximum value in a second display format, and in the process of reversely adjusting the parameter value from the maximum value, the display part keeps the second display format to display each parameter value before adjusting the parameter value to the minimum value/the minimum value, and the display part changes the display format to prompt the user when adjusting the parameter value to the minimum value/the minimum value.
In the above scheme, in the process of reversely adjusting the parameter value, the display format of the display part is kept consistent with the display format of the extreme value, so that the effect of prompting the user is not provided.
EXAMPLE eleven
The eleventh embodiment provides a scheme for combining prompt display and extremum adjustment, which specifically includes:
the parameter value of the working parameter of the household appliance is controlled by a single adjusting instruction, when the household appliance receives the single adjusting instruction, the display part increases/decreases the displayed parameter value, and when the parameter value reaches a secondary extreme value and receives the single adjusting instruction again, the display part changes the display format to display the extreme value.
The household appliance receives the single adjusting instruction, firstly judges whether the current parameter value is the next extreme value, if so, the display part displays the extreme value in a first display format, otherwise, the display part displays the adjusted parameter value in a second display format.
When the display part displays the extreme value in the second format and receives the single adjusting instruction again, the display part switches the first display format to reversely display the parameter value.
When the parameter value reaches a sub-extreme value and the household appliance receives the single adjusting instruction, the display part switches the first display format to display the extreme value, when the household appliance receives the single adjusting instruction for N times, the display part keeps displaying the extreme value in the first display format, and when the household appliance N +1 receives the single adjusting instruction, the display part switches the adjusted parameter value in the second display format to be reversely displayed.
Preferably, the first display format and the second display format display fonts with different sizes and/or font colors and/or font brightnesses.
Preferably, the first display format displays the fonts in a blinking manner.
When the household appliance receives a single adjustment instruction to sequentially adjust the parameter values, the display part sequentially displays the adjusted parameter values in corresponding display formats, and the parameter values at least close to the extreme value and the display formats of the extreme value gradually change;
preferably, the sequentially fading of the display format includes sequentially fading the font size and/or the font color and/or the font brightness of the display parameter value.
The household appliance comprises a plurality of parameter keys, each parameter key corresponds to one parameter item of the working parameters of the household appliance, when any parameter key is triggered, a single adjusting instruction for adjusting the parameter value of the corresponding parameter item is generated, when a certain parameter key is triggered to adjust the parameter value to an extreme value, the display part changes the display format to display the extreme value, and when the parameter key is triggered again, the display part reversely displays the parameter value in the corresponding display format.
In another scheme, the parameter value of the working parameter is controlled and adjusted by a first adjusting instruction for controlling the parameter value to increase and a second adjusting instruction for controlling the parameter value to decrease, the household appliance receives the first adjusting instruction/the second adjusting instruction, and after the parameter value is adjusted to an extreme value, the household appliance receives the first adjusting instruction/the second adjusting instruction again, and the display part keeps the corresponding display format to display the extreme value until the second adjusting instruction/the first adjusting instruction is received.
When the household appliance receives the first adjusting instruction/the second adjusting instruction, whether the current parameter value is a maximum value/a minimum value or not is judged, if yes, the maximum value/the minimum value is displayed in the current display format, and if not, the adjusted parameter value is displayed in the corresponding display format.
The household appliance comprises a first adjusting key and a second adjusting key, the first adjusting key is triggered to generate the first adjusting instruction, the second adjusting key is triggered to generate the second adjusting instruction, when the value of an adjusting parameter triggering any parameter adjusting key reaches an extreme value, the adjusting key is triggered again, and the display part keeps displaying the extreme value in a corresponding format.
Or the household appliance comprises a touch key, the touch key is slid towards the first direction to generate the first adjusting instruction, the touch key is slid towards the second direction to generate the second adjusting instruction, and the display part sequentially displays the parameter values in a gradient format in the process of adjusting the parameter values by sliding the touch key towards the first direction/the second direction.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
