Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a system for determining water consumption of a household appliance according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, the system may include a server 110, an electric home appliance 120, and a terminal 130. The server 110 and the home device 120 establish a wired or wireless communication connection, and the home device 120 and the terminal 130 establish a wired or wireless communication connection.

Alternatively, the server 110 may be a server, or may be a server cluster composed of several servers, or may also be a cloud computing service center. The household appliance can be a dish washer, a washing machine, a humidifier or a floor washing machine and the like. The terminal 130 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal or a wearable device. For example, referring to fig. 1, the home device 120 can be a dishwasher and the terminal 130 can be a mobile phone.

It is understood that the terminal 130 may have a water consumption query Application (APP) installed therein, and the server 110 may query a background server of the APP for the water consumption.

The present embodiment provides a method for determining water consumption of an electric home appliance, which can be applied to a server, such as the server 110 in the system shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 2, the method includes:

step 101, receiving a plurality of pieces of work log data sent by the household appliance at a plurality of different running times after the household appliance is started.

In the embodiment of the application, after the household appliance is started, the working log data can be generated in the running process. The household appliance can send the working log data of the current running time to the server at intervals of a fixed time length. The work log data sent at each running time comprises: the on-off state of the household appliance at the running time, the running stage at the running time, and the water consumption of the household appliance in the time period from the start to the running time. The on-off state of the household appliance is an on-off state or an off-off state.

Alternatively, for household appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines, the operation phases may include at least two of the following phases: a pre-washing stage, a main washing stage, a rinsing stage, a drying stage and the like. For household appliances such as humidifiers, the operation phases thereof may include at least two of the following phases: a heating stage, an evaporation stage, a diffusion stage, etc. For household appliances such as a scrubber, the operation phases can include at least two of the following phases: water inlet stage, cleaning stage, sucking stage, sewage treatment and the like.

Step 102, determining the average value of the water consumption of the household appliance in the target operation stage as the water consumption of the household appliance in the current operation process.

The target operation stage is the last operation stage before the shutdown state of the household appliance in the current operation process. The water consumption in the working log data reported by the household appliance is the total water consumption after the household appliance is started, so that the water consumption of the household appliance in the last operation stage before the household appliance is turned off can be reflected in the water consumption of the household appliance in the operation process.

Correspondingly, in this embodiment of the application, the server may calculate an average value of water consumption of the household appliance at a target operation stage in the current operation process based on the work log data sent by the household appliance, and determine the average value as the water consumption of the household appliance in the current operation process.

Step 103, receiving a first water volume query request sent by a terminal bound with the household appliance.

In the embodiment of the application, when a user needs to query the water consumption of the household appliance, a query operation (for example, clicking a query icon) may be performed in the water consumption query APP of the terminal bound to the household appliance. The terminal may transmit a first water volume inquiry request to the server in response to the inquiry operation. The server can further receive a first water volume query request sent by the terminal.

And 104, sending the water consumption of the household appliance in a plurality of different statistical stages within a first statistical time period to the terminal based on the first water quantity inquiry request.

The water consumption of each statistical stage is the sum of the water consumption of the household appliance in each operation process in the statistical stage, and the duration of the first statistical time period is longer than that of each statistical stage. The water usage of the server sent to the terminal at a number of different statistical stages can be used for display by the terminal.

Alternatively, the first statistical period may be a period determined by the server based on the time at which the first water volume inquiry request is received (i.e., the request reception time). For example, the first statistical period may be a period of fixed duration prior to and from the request receipt time. Or, the first statistical time period may be carried in the first water volume query request.

Assuming that the duration of the first statistical period is one year, the duration of each statistical phase may be one month, i.e., the first statistical period may include 12 statistical phases. Wherein, the water consumption of each statistical stage is the sum of the water consumption of the household electrical appliance in each operation process within one month.

To sum up, the embodiment of the application provides a method for determining water consumption of a household appliance, and a server can determine the water consumption of the household appliance in each operation process based on the work log data sent by the household appliance. Therefore, the accuracy of the water consumption counted by the server can be ensured to be higher. And the server can also send the water consumption of the household appliance in a plurality of different statistical stages within the first statistical time period to the terminal based on the water consumption inquiry request sent by the terminal. Therefore, the water consumption of the household appliance at a plurality of different statistical stages can be inquired by a user through the terminal, and the flexibility of water consumption inquiry is effectively improved.

The present embodiment provides another method for determining water consumption of an electrical home appliance, which can be applied to a server, such as the server 110 in the system shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 3, the method includes:

step 201, receiving a plurality of work log data sent by the home appliance at a plurality of different running times after the home appliance is started.

In the embodiment of the application, after the household appliance is started, the working log data can be generated in the running process. The household appliance can send the working log data of the current running time to the server at intervals of a fixed time length. Correspondingly, the server can receive a plurality of pieces of work log data sent by the household appliance at a plurality of different running moments after the household appliance is started.

The work log data sent by the household appliance at each running time after the household appliance is started comprises: the on-off state of the household appliance at the running time, the running stage at the running time, and the water consumption of the household appliance in the time period from the start to the running time. The on-off state of the household appliance is an on-off state or an off-off state.

It is understood that the various parameters in the work log data may be arranged in a predetermined fixed order. Moreover, the working log data can be used for different identifiers (such as numbers) to represent the on-off state, and different identifiers can be used for representing different operation stages. For example, 0 indicates a power-off state and 1 indicates a power-on state.

It can also be understood that the duration of any operation phase of the home appliance may be greater than the fixed duration, that is, the home appliance may report at least two pieces of work log data in each operation phase.

For example, assume that the home appliance is a dishwasher and the fixed duration is 30 seconds. The dishwasher may transmit the work log data of the current operation time to the server every 30 seconds, see table 1. In the work log data reported by the dish-washing machine, the first field is used for carrying the equipment identification of the dish-washing machine. The second field is used to carry the running time of the dishwasher. The third field is used for carrying the on-off state of the dishwasher, and when the content of the third field is '0', the dishwasher is in the off state; when the content of the third field is "1", it indicates that the dishwasher is in an on state. The fourth field is used to carry the operating mode of the dishwasher. The fifth field is used to carry the operational status of the dishwasher. The sixth field is used for carrying the operation stage of the dishwasher, and when the content of the sixth field is '0', the dishwasher is in the pre-washing stage; when the content of the sixth field is '1', the dishwasher is in the main washing stage; when the content of the sixth field is '3', the dishwasher is in a rinsing stage; when the content of the sixth field is '4', the dishwasher is in a drying stage; when the content of the sixth field is "255", it indicates that the dishwasher is in a shutdown state or in an operation state not in operation. The seventh field is used to carry the water usage of the dishwasher from start-up to the current running time, which may be in liters (L).

Referring to table 1, assuming that the home appliance is a dishwasher of which the appliance identification is 001, it can be seen from the log data shown in table 1 that the dishwasher is in an on state at an operation time 2021/7/206:18:00, an operation phase at the operation time is a main wash phase, and a water amount from the on state to the operation time (i.e., 2021/7/206:18:00) is 10.7 liters.

TABLE 1

Step 202, according to the sequence of the running time of the plurality of working log data, sequencing the plurality of log data.

After receiving a plurality of pieces of work log data sent by the home appliance at a plurality of different running times after being started, the server may sort the plurality of pieces of work log data according to the sequence of the running times in the plurality of pieces of work log data. Therefore, sequential processing of the plurality of pieces of work log data can be facilitated.

Referring to table 1, the work log data reported by the home device may include the current operation time of the home device. The household appliance can send the working log data of the current running time to the server according to the sequence of the time. It can be understood that when the home appliance device sends a plurality of pieces of work log data to the server at a plurality of different running times after being started, a wired or wireless communication link for transmitting the plurality of pieces of work log data has network delay, so that the sequence of the plurality of pieces of work log data received by the server is different from the sequence of the plurality of pieces of work log data sent by the home appliance device. Therefore, the server needs to sort the plurality of pieces of work log data according to the sequence of the running times in the plurality of pieces of work log data.

And 203, determining the average value of the water consumption of the household appliance in the target operation stage and in the operation state as the water consumption of the household appliance in the current operation process.

In this embodiment of the present application, the work log data reported by the home device at each operation time may further include: the home appliance is in the working state at the running time. The operating state may include one of the following states: a power-up state, a mode selection state, an operational state, and a suspend state. The target operation phase is the last operation phase of the household appliance before the household appliance is in the power-off state.

The water consumption in the working log data reported by the household appliance is the total water consumption after the household appliance is started, so that the water consumption of the household appliance in the last operation stage before the household appliance is turned off can be reflected in the water consumption of the household appliance in the operation process. It will be appreciated that the home device is not consuming water when the home device is in the powered-up state, the mode selection state, or the suspended state, i.e., the home device will only consume water when in the operational state. Based on the analysis, the server can determine the water consumption of the household appliance in the current running process based on the water consumption of the household appliance in the target running stage and in the running state.

And because the household appliance reports a plurality of pieces of work log data in the target operation stage, in order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the water consumption obtained by statistics, the server can calculate the average value of the water consumption of the household appliance in the target operation stage and in the operation state based on the plurality of pieces of work log data. And, the average value can be determined as the water consumption of the household appliance in the current operation process.

For example, referring to table 1, it can also be seen that a fifth field in the work log data reported each time by the dishwasher may be used to carry the working state of the dishwasher, and when the content of the fifth field is "1", it indicates that the dishwasher is in a power-on state; when the content of the fifth field is '2', the dishwasher is in a mode selection state; when the content of the fifth field is '3', the dishwasher is in a running state; when the content of the fifth field is "4", it means that the dishwasher is in a pause state.

Based on the work log data shown in table 1, the dishwasher is in the on state for the period from 7/20/6: 15:00 in 2021 to 7/20/6: 27:00 in 2021, and in the on state for the operating period, the dishwasher is in the off state for 7/20/7/6: 27:30 in 2021. Thus, the server may determine the time period between 7/20/2021 and 6/15: 00/20/7/20/2021 as one operation process of the dishwasher.

The work log data for the dishwasher during this run may be as shown in table 2. Referring to table 2, it can be known that the last operation phase of the dishwasher before the shutdown state is a drying phase, and thus the server may determine the drying phase as a target operation phase of the dishwasher. Then, the server can obtain the water consumption corresponding to the working log data with the startup and shutdown state of 1, the working state of 3 and the running stage of 4 in the running process, and calculate the average value of the obtained water consumption to be 13.3 liters. The average value is 13.3 liters, namely the water consumption of the household appliance in the running process.

TABLE 2

And 204, correspondingly storing the equipment identification of the household appliance, the water consumption of the household appliance in each running process and the running mode of the household appliance in each running process.

As can be seen by referring to table 1, the work log data reported by the home appliance at each operation time may further include: the device identifier of the home device and the operation mode of the home device at the operation time. After the server calculates the water consumption of the household appliance in each running process, the server can correspondingly store the equipment identification of the household appliance, the water consumption of the household appliance in each running process and the running mode of the household appliance in each running process. That is, the server may record a correspondence between the device identifier of the home appliance and the water consumption of the home appliance in each operation process, and an operation mode of the home appliance in each operation process.

The device identifier of the home device is a character string for uniquely indicating the home device, and the character string may be a production serial number or a physical address of the home device. The operating mode of the home device may be selected by a user from a plurality of alternative modes upon starting the home device.

For example, for dishwashers and washing machines, the operating mode may include one of the following modes: intelligent washing, energy-saving washing, daily washing, sterilization washing and the like. For a scrubber, the operational modes may include: a double open mode of floor washing and drying, a single floor washing mode, a single drying mode and the like. For a humidifier, the operational modes may include: a sterilization mode, an intelligent mode, a constant humidity mode and the like.

With continued reference to tables 1 and 2, the first field in the log data reported by the dishwasher may carry the device identifier of the dishwasher. The fourth field is used to carry the operating mode of the dishwasher. And when the content of the fourth field is '1', the dishwasher is in the intelligent washing mode; when the content of the fourth field is '2', the dishwasher is in an energy-saving washing mode; when the content of the fourth field is '3', the dishwasher is in a daily washing mode; when the content of the fourth field is "4", it indicates that the dishwasher is in the sterilizing washing mode.

Optionally, the server may record a device identifier of the home appliance, a water consumption amount of the home appliance in each operation process, and a start time of the home appliance in each operation process in a correspondence relationship between operation modes of the home appliance in each operation process. The starting time is the running time of reporting the working log data to the server for the first time after the household appliance is started.

For example, referring to table 3, assuming that the household appliance is a dishwasher with device identification 001, for the first operation process of the dishwasher at 20 days 7 months 2021, the server may record the device identification of the dishwasher as 001, and the turn-on time of the dishwasher is: 20/7/20/6: 15:00 in 2021. The selected operation mode of the dishwasher in the operation process is 'intelligent washing', and the water consumption in the operation process is 13.3L. For the second run of the dishwasher on 20/7/2021, the server may record the device identification of the dishwasher as 001, and the turn-on time of the dishwasher is: 20/7/20/19/14/30 in 2021. The selected operation mode of the dishwasher during this operation is "daily washing", and the amount of water used in the dishwasher during this operation is 5.6L.

TABLE 3

Device identification	Moment of opening	Mode of operation	Water consumption/L
				001	2021/7/20 6:15:00	1	13.3
001	2021/7/20 19:14:30	3	5.6

Step 205, receiving a first water volume query request sent by a terminal bound with the household appliance.

Optionally, the first water volume query request may further include the first query time. The first query time may be input by the user in the water consumption query APP, or may be selected by the user among a plurality of alternative times provided by the water consumption query APP.

Since the server can receive and store the work log data reported by the plurality of household appliances, in order to determine the household appliance to be queried, the first water volume query request may further include an appliance identifier of the household appliance.

It can be understood that the binding of the terminal and the home device means: and recording the corresponding relation between the user account logged in the terminal and the equipment identifier of the household appliance in the server. For example, the water consumption query APP of the terminal may obtain the device identifier of the home appliance through a wired or wireless communication connection (e.g., bluetooth) with the home appliance. And then, the terminal can send the equipment identification of this tame electric installation and the user account who logs in the water consumption inquiry APP to the server, and the server can record the equipment identification of this tame electric installation and the relation of user account, realizes binding of this tame electric installation and this terminal. The user account number logged in the water consumption inquiry APP can be bound with the household appliances.

For example, assume that the home device is a dishwasher with device identification 001. Referring to fig. 5, a user may select a dishwasher, denoted 001, at a query interface for a water usage query APP, entering or selecting a first query time in a query input box: 20/7/2021 and click the query button. The terminal may transmit the first water volume inquiry request to the server in response to an inquiry operation of the user. The first water volume query request comprises: device identification of dishwasher to be queried: 001, and first query time: 20/7/2021.

And step 206, determining the water consumption of the household appliance indicated by the device identification in a plurality of different statistical stages within the first statistical time period from the stored water consumption of different household appliances based on the device identification of the household appliance contained in the first water quantity inquiry request.

The water consumption of each statistical stage is the sum of the water consumption of the household appliance in each operation process in the first statistical time period, the duration of the first statistical time period is longer than that of each statistical stage, and the durations of the statistical stages are the same. For example, assuming that the first statistical period is one year, the duration of each statistical phase may be one month, i.e., the first statistical period may include 12 statistical phases. Alternatively, assuming that the first statistical period is one month, the duration of each statistical phase may be one day, i.e., the first statistical period may include 30 or 31 statistical phases.

After receiving a first water quantity query request sent by the household appliance, the server can acquire the water consumption of the household appliance in each running process from the stored water consumption of different household appliances based on the device identification of the household appliance in the first water quantity query request. And for each statistical stage in the first statistical time period, the server may sum the water consumption of the household appliance in each operation process in the statistical stage, so as to obtain the water consumption of the household appliance in the statistical stage.

As a possible example, the first statistical period may be included in the first water volume inquiry request, i.e. the user of the terminal may set the first statistical period by himself.

As another possible example, the first water volume query request includes a first query time, and the server may determine a first statistical period of time at which the first query time is located. The duration of the first statistical period may be a fixed duration pre-configured in the server, or may also be sent to the server by the terminal based on the configuration of the user, that is, the user may manually select the duration of the first statistical period.

For example, if the duration of the first statistical period is one week, the duration of each statistical phase may be one day. Assume that the first query time in the first water volume query request is: on 20/7/2021, the server may determine that the first statistical period is one week of 20/7/2021, i.e., 7/19/2021 to 25/7/2021. Also, the server may calculate the amount of water used by the dishwasher each day of the week. The water consumption calculated by the server can be referred to fig. 5. As shown in fig. 5, the water consumption of the dishwasher at 7-19/7/2021 is 10.9L, the water consumption of the dishwasher at 7-20/7/18.9L, and the water consumption of the dishwasher at 21/7/2021 is 12.2L.

If the first statistical period is one month, the duration of each statistical phase may be one day. Assume that the first query time in the first water volume query request is: on 20/7/2021, the server may determine that the first statistical period is january of 20/7/2021, i.e., 31/7/2021 to 31/7/2021. Also, the server may calculate the amount of water used by the dishwasher each day during the month. The water consumption calculated by the server can be referred to fig. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the water consumption of the dishwasher in 1 day of 7 months is 13.9L, the water consumption of the dishwasher in 12 days of 7 months is 0, and the water consumption of the dishwasher in 31 days of 7 months is 9.9L.

If the first statistical period is one year, the duration of each statistical phase may be one month. Assume that the first query time in the first water volume query request is: on 20/7/2021, the server may determine that the first statistical period is one year of 20/7/2021, i.e., 31/3/1/2021/12/2021. Also, the server may calculate the amount of water used by the dishwasher each month during the year. The water consumption calculated by the server can be referred to fig. 7. As shown in FIG. 7, the water consumption of the dishwasher is 100.8L in 1 month and 361.8L in 7 months. Since the statistical phase after 7 months has not yet occurred, the water usage was 0 from 8 months to 12 months of 2021.

It will be appreciated that the first statistical period may also be a fixed duration period prior to the first query time. For example, assuming that the fixed duration is one month and the first query time is 20/7/2021, the first statistical period may be 20/6/2021 to 20/7/2021.

Step 207, sending the water consumption of the plurality of different statistical stages to the terminal.

After the server determines the water consumption of a plurality of different statistics stages in the first statistics period, the water consumption of the plurality of different statistics stages can be sent to the terminal for the terminal user to check. Alternatively, the terminal can display the water usage for the plurality of different statistical stages in the form of a line graph.

For example, assume that the home device is a dishwasher with a device identifier of 001, and the first query time 2021 is 20/7/2021. If the first statistical period is one week, the water consumption of the server in a plurality of different statistical stages sent to the terminal may refer to fig. 5, and after the terminal receives the water consumption sent by the server, a line graph as shown in fig. 5 may be displayed.

If the first statistical time interval is one month, the water consumption of the server in a plurality of different statistical stages sent to the terminal can refer to fig. 6, and after the terminal receives the water consumption sent by the server, a line graph as shown in fig. 6 can be displayed.

If the first statistical time interval is one year, the water consumption of the server in a plurality of different statistical stages sent to the terminal can refer to fig. 7, and after the terminal receives the water consumption sent by the server, a line graph as shown in fig. 7 can be displayed.

And step 208, receiving a second water quantity inquiry request sent by the terminal.

And the second water quantity inquiry request is used for acquiring the water consumption of the household appliance in different operation modes. In this embodiment, when a user needs to query the water consumption of the household appliance in different operation modes, a query operation (for example, clicking a query icon) may be performed in the water consumption query APP of the terminal bound to the household appliance. The terminal may transmit a second water volume inquiry request to the server in response to the inquiry operation.

Optionally, the second water consumption query request may further include a second query time, which may be input by the user in the water consumption query APP, or may be selected by the user from a plurality of alternative times provided by the water consumption query APP.

Since the server can receive and store the work log data reported by the plurality of household appliances, in order to determine the household appliance to be queried, the second water volume query request may further include an appliance identifier of the household appliance.

And step 209, determining the average water consumption of the household appliance in each operation mode in the second statistical time period based on the second water quantity inquiry request.

After receiving a second water quantity query request sent by the household appliance, the server can acquire the water consumption and the operation mode of the household appliance in each operation process in a second statistical time period from the stored water consumption of different household appliances based on the device identification of the household appliance in the second water quantity query request. Then, for each operation mode, the server may average the water consumption of the household appliance in each operation process in the operation mode, so as to obtain the average water consumption of the household appliance in the operation mode.

As a possible example, the second statistical period may be included in the second water volume inquiry request, i.e., the user of the terminal may set the second statistical period by himself.

As another possible example, the second water volume inquiry request includes a second inquiry time, and the server may determine a second statistical period at which the second inquiry time is located. The duration of the second statistical period may be a fixed duration pre-configured in the server, or may also be sent to the server by the terminal based on the configuration of the user, that is, the user may manually configure the duration of the second statistical period.

Alternatively, if the second statistical period is one year, the server may determine the average water consumption of the home device in each operation mode within the one year of the second query time. If the second statistical time period is one month, the server may determine an average water consumption of the home appliance in each operation mode within one month of the second query time. It will also be appreciated that the second statistical period may also be a fixed duration period prior to the second query time. For example, assuming that the fixed duration is one month and the second query time is 20/7/2021, the second statistical period may be 20/6/2021 to 20/7/2021.

For example, assuming that the electric device is a dishwasher with a device identifier of 001, the duration of the second statistical period is one month, and the second query time in the second water volume query request is: 20/7/2021. The server may determine that the second statistical period is one month of 20 days 7-2021, i.e., 31 days 7-7 months 7-2021. Also, the server may calculate an average water usage for each mode of operation of the dishwasher over the month. The average water consumption of each operation mode calculated by the server can refer to fig. 8, as shown in fig. 8, the average water consumption of the dishwasher in the intelligent washing mode is 12.43 liters, the average water consumption of the dishwasher in the energy-saving washing mode is 10.14 liters, the average water consumption of the dishwasher in the daily washing mode is 9.2 liters, and the average water consumption of the dishwasher in the sterilizing washing mode is 12.85 liters.

And step 210, sending the average water consumption of the household appliance in different operation modes within a second statistical time period to the terminal.

After the server determines the average water consumption of the household appliance in each operation mode within the second statistical time period, the server can send the average water consumption in each operation mode to the terminal so as to be checked by the terminal user. Optionally, the terminal can display the average water consumption of the household appliance in different operation modes in the second statistical time period in the form of a line graph.

For example, assume that the powered device is a dishwasher with device identification 001, and the second query time is: 20/7/2021. If the duration of the second statistical period is one month, the average water consumption in different operation modes sent by the server to the terminal may refer to fig. 8. After the terminal receives the water consumption sent by the server, a line graph as shown in fig. 8 can be displayed.

It should be understood that, the sequence of the steps of the method for determining the water consumption of the household electrical appliance provided in the embodiment of the present application may be appropriately adjusted, and the steps may also be increased or decreased according to the circumstances. For example, step 204, and steps 208 through 210 described above may be deleted as appropriate. Alternatively, steps 208 to 210 may be performed before step 207. Still alternatively, the above step 202 may be deleted as appropriate. Any method that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application is covered by the protection scope of the present application, and thus the detailed description thereof is omitted.
