Optionally, the camera device may acquire a first image within a preset range of the clothes drying apparatus in real time, and then determine that the first image includes the image of the first user. For example, when a moving object exists in a preset range of the clothes drying device, the camera device may acquire a plurality of first images, and the clothes drying device determines an image including a child in the plurality of first images.

Alternatively, the image of the first user may be determined according to the following possible implementations: and processing the first image through a preset model, and judging whether the first image comprises the image of the first user. The preset model is obtained by learning a plurality of groups of samples, each group of samples comprises a plurality of sample first images and a plurality of sample second images, and the sample second images comprise images of a first user. The sets of samples may be pre-labeled samples. For example, a plurality of sample second images may be manually annotated in a plurality of sample first images, resulting in a set of samples comprising the plurality of sample first images and the plurality of sample second images. In this way, multiple sets of samples can be obtained. For example, the sets of samples may be as shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

Multiple sets of samples	First image of sample	Second image of sample
			First set of samples	Sample image 1	Sample image A
Second set of samples	Sample image 2	Sample image B
			Third group of samples	Sample image 3	Sample image C
……	……	……

It should be noted that table 1 illustrates the sets of samples by way of example only, and does not limit the sets of samples.

For example, if the images in the input preset model include a sample image 1 and a sample image a, the preset model may determine that the sample image a includes the image of the first user; if the image in the input preset model comprises the sample image 2 and the sample image B, the preset model can determine that the sample image B comprises the image of the first user; if the images in the input preset model include the sample image 3 and the sample image C, the preset model may determine that the sample image C includes the image of the first user.

Optionally, when the motor speed of the drum is greater than the first threshold, the drying device is controlled to reduce the motor speed of the drum, so that the motor speed of the drum is less than or equal to the first threshold. The first threshold may be a preset rotation speed threshold. For example, when the equipment state of the clothes drying equipment is the working state, if the rotating speed of the motor of the roller is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the motor of the roller does not need to be controlled; if the motor rotating speed of the roller is greater than the first threshold value, the clothes drying equipment is controlled to reduce the motor rotating speed of the roller, so that potential safety hazards to children cannot be caused by the roller.

Optionally, when the motor speed of the fan is less than the second threshold, the clothes drying device is controlled to increase the motor speed of the fan, so that the motor speed of the fan is greater than or equal to the second threshold. For example, when the equipment state of the clothes drying equipment is the working state, if the rotating speed of the motor of the fan is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the motor of the fan does not need to be controlled; if the motor rotating speed of the fan is smaller than the second threshold value, the clothes drying equipment is controlled to increase the motor rotating speed of the fan, so that residual hot air in the roller can be quickly discharged by the fan, and potential safety hazards of high-temperature gas to children are avoided.

In this kind of condition, when children are close the drying equipment, and the equipment status of drying equipment is operating condition, can control the drying equipment locking lock, stop heating, reduce the rotational speed of cylinder, improve the rotational speed of fan for drying equipment under operating condition can not cause the injury to children, and then has improved the security of drying equipment.
