According to the control method of the household appliance provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the connection functional module is detected on the connection interface of the household appliance, the configuration information of the functional module is acquired, the control information of the functional module is acquired according to the configuration information, and the functional module is further controlled to execute the preset appliance function. Therefore, the user can flexibly configure the functional modules contained in the household appliance according to the self requirement, the development difficulty of the household appliance is reduced, and the development efficiency of the household appliance is improved.
In some embodiments, S400 comprises:
the function module executes the preset electric appliance function according to the control information carried by the function module.
For example, when the function module is a voice collecting module, after the function module is connected with the connection interface of the household appliance, the voice information in the environment can be automatically collected through the control information carried by the function module, and the voice information in the environment is converted into a voice control signal. Here, the voice control signal may be used to control other function modules connected to the home appliance to perform corresponding appliance functions.

After the functional module is connected with the connecting interface of the household appliance, the functional module can independently execute the preset appliance function. Therefore, the quantity of control information required to be stored by the household appliance is reduced, and the storage requirement of the household appliance is reduced.
In some embodiments, S400 comprises:
the household appliance controls the function module to execute the preset appliance function according to the control information acquired from the function module.
For example, when the home appliance is connected to the function module, the home appliance may actively obtain the control information from the function module, and then the home appliance may control the function module through the control information.
For example, when the functional module is a heating module, the home appliance acquires a control program for the heating module when the home appliance is connected to the heating module. And then the household appliance calls a control program of the heating module according to the received operation of the user, and controls the heating module to execute the heating function.

The display configuration parameters may include parameters describing the functions of the functional modules. The household appliance can display the function buttons for controlling the function module to work through the display module.
The cooking apparatus including the cavity is described as an example. The cooking equipment comprises a control module, a display module, a heating module, an entity key input module, a temperature sensor module, an image acquisition module, a cavity for containing food and a shell. Wherein:
the key included in the entity key input module is at least partially exposed outside the shell and used for receiving the operation of a user, generating a corresponding operation signal based on the operation of the user and sending the operation signal to the control module.
And the display module comprises a display screen, and the display surface of the display screen is exposed outside the shell and used for displaying the function buttons of the support function of the cooking equipment after the cooking equipment is started. For example, when the cooking device can cook rice, soup and porridge, the display module displays three functional buttons of 'cooking', 'soup cooking' and 'porridge cooking'.
And the heating module is positioned below the cavity, is connected with the control module and is used for heating food in the cavity.
And the temperature sensor module is positioned in the cavity and used for acquiring the temperature information of the cavity and sending the acquired temperature information to the control module.
And the control module is used for obtaining the input operation corresponding to the operation signal according to the operation signal of the user.
For example, the user clicks the entity key corresponding to the "rice cooking" function button in the entity key input module, and the control module knows that the input operation is the rice cooking request operation according to the operation signal, and the user needs to cook rice. The control module realizes the cooking function through the heating module according to the input operation, and obtains the predicted end time of the current operation according to the temperature information collected by the temperature sensor module.
For another example, when a user touches a function button on the display screen, a sensor assembly in the display module receives a command input by the user and sends the command to the control module. And the control module generates a control signal according to the instruction and the preset corresponding relation between the function button and the control program, and calls the corresponding control program to execute corresponding operation. For example, when a user touches a "rice cooking" function button on a display screen of the cooking device, the control module learns that the instruction is a rice cooking instruction, and generates a rice cooking control signal to enable the cooking device to perform a rice cooking operation. Wherein, the preset corresponding relationship may include: function buttons versus operating parameters in the control program. The operating parameters may include: power, time, etc.
In some embodiments, the cooking apparatus may further comprise an image capture module, such as a camera.

The control module identifies the type of the food contained in the cavity according to the image information, and executes corresponding operation on the identified type of the food according to a preset rule. Wherein, the preset rule can be set according to the requirement of a user, for example, if the food in the cavity is meat or vegetables, the soup cooking operation is carried out; if the food is rice, performing cooking operation; if the food is coarse cereals, the porridge cooking operation is carried out.
In some embodiments, the cooking apparatus may further include an audio output module. The audio output module may specifically include: a loudspeaker. The audio output module is located in a shell of the cooking equipment, connected with the control module and used for outputting audio prompt information according to a preset strategy.

For example, when the display configuration parameter includes the search parameter, the control module obtains a function button parameter of the function module according to the search parameter, and searches the matched function button from the local storage module according to the function button parameter of the function module.
When the display configuration parameters comprise the parameter packet of the function button, the control module directly obtains the corresponding function button parameters for display according to the parameter packet, and controls the display module to display the corresponding function button. Wherein the function button parameter is used for representing the physical size of the function button, the position in the display area of the display module, the display brightness of the function button, the color of the function button and the like.
