Description

Method and device for controlling household appliance, household appliance and storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of intelligent home appliance technologies, and for example, to a method and an apparatus for controlling a home appliance, and a storage medium.

Background

In the age of the internet of things, everything is interconnected. Different members of the family have different use habits, which brings certain inconvenience to the operation of household appliances. For example, some people have high temperature resistance, and bath at 42 ℃ is just suitable; some people have a somewhat lower temperature resistance, with a suitable temperature of 38 ℃. People like to open the exhaust fan in the whole process, so that hot air is exhausted at any time, and a clear and transparent environment is kept in the bathroom all the time; some people like to wash and then turn on the exhaust fan, so that the people feel sauna all the time. Therefore, after different family members are washed, another person must adjust the parameters again, and the operation is unacceptable in the smart home era.

The existing method for starting the linkage between the household appliances comprises the following steps: and reading fingerprint information of the linkage opener, and if the fingerprint information of the linkage opener is matched with preset fingerprint information, sending a scene execution command to all household appliances in the scene, and opening and/or closing the household appliances in the scene.

In the method, the household appliance is controlled in a fingerprint matching mode. However, for a humid environment such as a bathroom, the recognition rate of fingerprints is low and the cost of the fingerprint recognition device is high. In addition, in the prior art, a mode of determining the user identity by a camera so as to control household appliances is adopted, but the camera is easy to cause privacy disclosure and is not suitable for private places. In the prior art, a height measuring sensor is adopted to determine the identity of a user so as to control household appliances, but if the heights of family members are close to each other, the accuracy rate of determining the identity of the family members is greatly reduced, and in addition, the cost of additionally installing the sensor is needed.

Disclosure of Invention

The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments. This summary is not an extensive overview nor is intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope of such embodiments but rather as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.

It should be understood that the data so used may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances such that embodiments of the present disclosure described herein may be made. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

The term "plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the character "/" indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an or relationship. For example, A/B represents: a or B.

The term "and/or" is an associative relationship that describes objects, meaning that three relationships may exist. For example, a and/or B, represents: a or B, or A and B.

The term "correspond" may refer to an association or binding relationship, and a corresponds to B refers to an association or binding relationship between a and B.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the home appliance is an intelligent home appliance. The intelligent household appliance is a household appliance formed by introducing a microprocessor, a sensor technology and a network communication technology into the household appliance, has the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception and intelligent application, and the operation process of the intelligent household appliance usually depends on the application and processing of modern technologies such as internet of things, internet and electronic chips, for example, the intelligent household appliance can be connected with the electronic equipment to realize the remote control and management of a user on the intelligent household appliance.

The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a household electrical appliance, including: an apparatus body and an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader. The RFID reader is arranged on the equipment body and can read the RFID label information outside the equipment body. The user wears a garment having an RFID tag thereon. And the user writes the information representing the identity of the user into the RFID tag through the mobile client and stores the information to the server. And after the RFID reader reads the RFID label information, the RFID label information is uploaded to the server side. And the server side matches the user identity according to the RFID label information. The household appliances can be washing machines, water heaters, toilets, magic mirrors, exhaust fans and other appliances. The RFID reader can be installed on any household appliance.

Take the example of an RFID reader mounted on a washing machine. As shown in fig. 2 to 5, the body 10 includes: a shell 11, an outer cylinder 12, an inner cylinder 13 and a door 14. The front surface of the housing 11 is provided with a window 16, and a user can take and put the laundry through the window 16. The outer cylinder 12 is disposed in the housing 11. The inner cylinder 13 is rotatably provided in the outer cylinder 12. The door 14 is connected to the case 11 so as to be openable and closable. The door 14 is disposed corresponding to the window 16, and when the door 14 is closed, the door 14 covers the window 16. A seal ring 17 is provided between the housing 11 and the outer cylinder 12. When the door 14 is closed, the door ring 15 of the door 14 is in close contact with the gasket 17. The sealing ring 17 can ensure that the water in the washing machine can not flow out of the outer cylinder 12 or the washing machine.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the RFID reader 20 is one, and is disposed at the lowest position of the inner ring of the door ring 15. To avoid the installation location being too high to read the RFID tag information. When the door 14 is closed, the shape of the inner lobe 40 of the RFID reader 20 within the inner barrel 13 is shown in FIG. 2. The RFID reader 20 reads RFID tag information of laundry in the washing machine, and the RFID tag is written in advance or associated with information such as material, color, size, user role, and the like of the laundry. By reading the RFID tag information, the washing machine is matched to an appropriate washing program. When the door 14 is opened, the outer lobe 30 of the RFID reader 20 outside the housing 11 is shaped as shown in fig. 3. The door 14 is rotated beyond 90 deg., and the RFID reader 20 cannot read the RFID tag information from the fabric items inside the drum 13. But can just read the RFID tag information of the user wearing clothes outside the washing machine to acquire the identity of the clothes-taking user. The RFID signal of the clothes in the washing machine is different from the RFID signal of the clothes worn by the clothes taking user. Specifically, the RFID tags of the clothes in the washing machine periodically pass through the RFID reader 20, and the signal strength periodically fluctuates. But the RFID signal intensity of the clothes worn by the clothes taking user is basically stable, or the RFID signal intensity disappears for a long time after the RFID signal intensity appears. Based on this difference, the RFID reader 20 can distinguish between the RFID signal of the laundry in the washing machine and the RFID signal of the laundry worn on the user of the taking clothing. Moreover, since the RFID tag information of the laundry in the drum 13 is recorded during the washing process, the RFID tag information of the laundry worn by the newly-appeared user can be easily recognized when the door 14 is opened.

Alternatively, two RFID readers 20 are provided, each being disposed at the lowermost position of the grommet 17. To avoid the installation location being too high to read the RFID tag information. One of the RFID readers 20 reads only the RFID tag information of the laundry inside the washing machine, and its inner lobe 40 located inside the drum 13 is shaped as shown in fig. 4. Another RFID reader 20 reads only RFID tag information of clothes worn on a user who takes clothes outside the washing machine, and an outer lobe 30 of which outside the housing 11 has a shape as shown in fig. 4 and 5. The two RFID readers 20 each perform their own functions, and read information is completely independent and does not interfere with each other. In this way, the problem of inaccurate discrimination between the RFID signal of the clothes in the washing machine and the RFID signal of the clothes worn by the clothes-taking user through one RFID reader 20 can be avoided.

Note that, since the washing machine washing clothes are provided with RFID tags, two RFID readers 20 may be provided on the washing machine. Similarly, two RFID readers 20 may be provided on the dryer. That is, two RFID readers 20 may be provided to each home appliance having a function of treating laundry. For home appliances that do not have a function of treating laundry, such as home appliances like a magic mirror, a water heater, a toilet, a ventilator, etc., only one RFID reader 20 needs to be provided.

The identification distance of the RFID reader 20 may be up to 7 m. Therefore, in a certain area, only one home device is provided with the RFID reader 20. For example, the area is a toilet, and household appliances such as a washing machine, a toilet, a water heater, and an exhaust fan are generally provided in the toilet. Only the installation location of the RFID reader 20 or the RFID reader 20 on the existing washing machine needs to be modified. The RFID reader 20 does not need to be additionally arranged on other household appliances, so that the cost is greatly reduced, and the industrialization is easier.

Referring to fig. 6, the present embodiment discloses a method for determining a habit scheme of a user using an electric home appliance, including:

s601, the server responds to the RFID label information read by the household appliance in the target area, and determines the identity of the target user wearing the clothes with the RFID label.

S602, the server side obtains each household appliance used by the target user.

S603, the server records the use habits of the target user using each household appliance, and associates the identity of the target user with the use habits of each household appliance to form a habit scheme for the target user to use the target household appliance.

First, the service end collects the habits of the user in using the household appliance. The user associates the RFID tag information on the clothes of the user with information capable of representing different user identities through the mobile client and uploads the information to the server. And reading the RFID label information in the area where the household appliance is located by the household appliance provided with the RFID reader. An RFID reader may read RFID tag information present within an area of range. This region is the target region. And when the user enters the target area, the user is the target user. The RFID reader can read the RFID tag information on the target user's clothing. And then the RFID reader uploads the read RFID label information to the server. And the server responds to the RFID label information read by the RFID reader, matches the identity associated with the RFID label information from the association relationship between the RFID label information and the user identity, and thus determines the identity of the target user. When the target user has an operation intention on the home device in the target area, it indicates that the target user is using the home device. The operation intentions include pressing a key, opening a valve, opening a cover, opening a door and the like. For example, when the target user presses a switch of the exhaust fan, the target user has an operation intention on the exhaust fan, that is, the target user is using the exhaust fan; when the target user opens the toilet lid or sits on the toilet seat, the target user has an operational intention on the toilet, i.e., the target user is using the toilet; when the target user has an operation intention on one or more household appliances, the server acquires the household appliance or household appliances and records the use habits of the target user. The usage habits include settings for the home appliance operation mode, parameters, etc. by the target user when using the home appliance. The setting of the operation parameters of the household appliance comprises setting of the operation time, temperature, rotating speed, brightness and the like of the household appliance. And the server associates the use habits of the target user using each household appliance with the identity of the target user. Thus, a custom scheme for the user to use the home appliance is formed.

Optionally, when the server records the habit schemes of the target user for using the respective home appliances, the habit schemes of the target user for using the home appliances within the preset time period may be recorded. For example, the target user's usage pattern of the home device may be recorded for a week or a month. When controlling the household appliances related to the temperature, the server records the habit schemes of the target user for using each household appliance, and can determine the season of each household appliance used by the target user. And then the habit of the target user for using the household appliance in various seasons is associated with the seasons. The target user's usage habit collection is updated in a seasonal period. Specifically, the season can be counted according to the calendar season of the lunar calendar and the weather. Further, under the condition that the average air temperature of the continuous preset days is lower than the first temperature threshold value, determining the season to be winter; and determining the season to be spring or autumn when the average air temperature of the continuous preset days is higher than or equal to the first temperature threshold and lower than the second temperature threshold. And determining the season as summer in the case that the average air temperature of the continuous preset days is higher than or equal to the second temperature threshold. Optionally, the first temperature threshold is 10 ℃ and the second temperature threshold is 20 ℃. Thus, when the household appliance related to the temperature is used, the temperature of the household appliance is required to be different when the household appliance is used by a user in different seasons. The use habits of the user are recorded according to seasons and are associated with the household appliances, so that the follow-up intelligent control on the household appliances is more accurate. It should be noted that the first temperature threshold and the second temperature may be adaptively adjusted according to different regions. Optimally, the habit of the user to use the household appliance is related to the ambient temperature of the target area. For example, when a user uses a water heater, if the ambient temperature is high, the user may be used to use a low water temperature; if the ambient temperature is low, the user will be used to use a high water temperature. Therefore, when the user uses the home appliance, the current ambient temperature of the target area is acquired. And associating the environmental temperature of the target area with the habit scheme of the user using the household appliance under the current environmental temperature.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 7, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for determining a habit scheme of a user using an electrical home appliance, including:

and S611, responding to the RFID label information read by the household appliance in the target area by the server.

And S621, under the condition that a plurality of RFID label information exist, the server side determines the identity of the user corresponding to each RFID label information.

S631, the server side sends inquiry information to the user corresponding to each RFID label information.

S641, the server determines the identity of the target user according to the response information of the user corresponding to each RFID tag information.

S602, the server side obtains each household appliance used by the target user.

First, the service end collects the habits of the user in using the household appliance. The user associates the RFID label information on the clothes worn by the user with the information capable of representing the identity of the user through the mobile client, and uploads the information to the server. And reading the RFID label information in the area where the household appliance is located by the household appliance provided with the RFID reader. An RFID reader may read RFID tag information present within an area of range. This region is the target region. And when the user enters the target area, the user is the target user. The RFID reader can read the RFID tag information on the target user's clothing. And then the RFID reader uploads the read RFID label information to the server. In some special cases, the RFID reader may read multiple RFID tag information. For example, there are multiple users in the target area, or the users bring clothes of several other users to be washed, but do not put into the washing machine. In these cases, the RFID reader is caused to read a plurality of RFID tag information. In these cases, the server first determines the identity of the corresponding user according to the information of each RFID tag. And then sends inquiry information to each corresponding user. After receiving the query, the user can respond in a manner corresponding to the query manner. The manner of sending the query information to the user and the manner of responding to the user may be as described in the above embodiments, and details are not described here. And the server determines the identity of the user who uses the household electrical appliance in the target area and uses the response information as the identity of the target user. When the target user has an operation intention on the home device in the target area, it indicates that the target user is using the home device. When the target user has an operation intention on one or more household appliances, the server acquires the household appliance or household appliances and records the use habits of the target user. And the server associates the use habits of the target user using each household appliance with the identity of the target user. Thus, a custom scheme for the user to use the home appliance is formed. Therefore, a plurality of RFID label information can be read at the RFID reader, and the server inquires the user to determine whether the user wants to use the household appliance, so that the identity of the target user can be accurately determined. It should be noted that, for the specific processes in step S602 and step S603, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described here.

Alternatively, when a user brings several other users' clothes to be washed but does not put into the washing machine, the RFID reader reads a plurality of RFID tag information. Since the user moves about, the signal read by the RFID reader is ignored. The laundry is usually placed at a certain position by the user, i.e. the laundry is still, so the signal strength read by the RFID reader is not changed. Therefore, the server acquires the strength of the RFID tag signal. If the RFID label signal is suddenly strong and weak, determining that the clothes are worn by the user; and if the signal intensity of the RFID tag is not changed, determining that the clothes are to be washed. Therefore, inquiry information does not need to be sent to the user, so that the non-inductive use of the household appliance by the user is realized, and the intellectualization of the use of the household appliance is more prominent.

As shown in fig. 8, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an electrical home appliance, including:

s801, the server responds to the RFID label information read by the household appliance in the target area, and the identity of the target user wearing the clothes with the RFID label is determined.

S802, the server determines a habit scheme of the target user for using the target household appliance according to the identity of the target user and one or more target household appliances used by the target user.

And S803, the server controls the target household appliance to operate according to the habit scheme that the target user uses the target household appliance.

After a habit scheme that a user uses the household appliance is formed, when the user uses the related household appliance again, the server side can intelligently control the operation of the household appliance. Specifically, when a user enters a target area, an RFID reader on the household appliance reads RFID tag information on clothes worn by the user and uploads the information to the server. And the server matches the identity associated with the read RFID label information according to the association relationship between the RFID label information and the user identity, so as to determine the identity of the target user. And then determining the habit scheme of the target household appliance used by the target user according to the identity of the target user and one or more target household appliances used by the target user and based on the previous collection of the habit schemes of the household appliance used by the user. And then controlling the target household appliance to operate according to the determined habit scheme.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the identity of a user is determined through an RFID tag on clothes worn by a target user, and then a habit usage scheme for the target household appliance is called according to the identity of the target user, so that the operation scheme of the target household appliance is matched with the historical usage habit of the target user. The operation of the household appliance is intelligentized without the need of the user to adjust the household appliance in person. Moreover, when the target user identity is identified, a camera identification scheme is abandoned, and privacy violation is avoided. Especially for places with higher privacy degree such as a washroom and a bathroom, the privacy disclosure can be better avoided. In addition, in places with high humidity, such as sensitive operations like fingerprint identification, the identification rate is poor. And the identity recognition is carried out based on the RFID label information, the influence of humidity is avoided, and the influence of the height of a user is avoided, so that the recognition accuracy can be improved. In addition, the use process is completely noninductive, and intelligent control is highlighted.

Alternatively, in the case where a washing machine exists in the target area, only the RFID reader or the installation location of the RFID reader on the existing washing machine needs to be modified. And RFID readers do not need to be additionally arranged on other household appliances, so that the cost is greatly reduced, and the industrialization is easier.

Optionally, the server determines the identity of the target user wearing the clothing with the RFID tag in response to the RFID tag information read by the home appliance in the target area, including:

and the server determines the identity corresponding to the target user according to the association relationship between the RFID tag information and the identity of the user wearing the RFID tag clothes.

As mentioned above, the server pre-stores the association relationship between the RFID tag information and the identity of the user wearing the RFID tag clothing. Based on the association relationship, the identity corresponding to the target user can be determined through the RFID label information. For example, the specific association relationship can be seen in table 1.

RFID tag information	Identity of target user
		XXXX	A
YYYY	B
		ZZZZ	C

TABLE 1

As shown in table 1, if the information read by the RFID is XXXX, the server may determine that the identity of the target user is a according to the association relationship. Therefore, the identity corresponding to the target user can be determined based on the association relationship between the RFID label information and the user identity, and the identification accuracy is high. Moreover, compared with the technical scheme of using a camera for identification, the privacy of the user is protected.

Optionally, the server determines, according to the identity of the target user and one or more target home devices used by the target user, a habit scheme for the target user to use the target home device, including:

and the server determines the habit scheme of the target user for using the target household appliance equipment according to the incidence relation between the user identity and the habit scheme of the user for using the household appliance equipment.

As described above, the server pre-stores the association relationship between the user identity and the habit scheme of using the home appliance. Based on the association relationship, the habit scheme of the target user for using the target household appliance can be determined. For example, the specific association relationship can be seen in table 2.

TABLE 2

As shown in table 2, if the information read by the RFID is XXXX, the server may determine that the identity of the target user is a according to the association relationship. If the user A uses the exhaust fan at the moment, the habitual scheme that the user A uses the exhaust fan is determined to be that the rotating speed of the exhaust fan is low through the incidence relation, and then the rotating speed of the exhaust fan is automatically controlled to be low. If the information read by the RFID is ZZZZZZ, the server side can determine that the identity of the target user is C according to the association relationship. If the user C is taking a bath, that is, using the shower device, the user C is determined to use the water heater temperature, the shower head and the shower head water outlet mode through the above-mentioned correlation, so that the water heater temperature is controlled to be 35 ℃, the shower head flow rate is controlled to be high, and the shower head water outlet mode is controlled to be the mixed mode. Of course, the user's identity may also be associated with using the exhaust fan during or after bathing when the user has taken a bath. Therefore, the identity corresponding to the target user can be determined based on the association relationship between the RFID label information and the user identity. Based on the incidence relation between the user identity and the habit scheme of using the household appliance, the use habit of the target user on the target household appliance can be determined, and therefore the target household appliance is controlled to operate according to the habit of the target user. Therefore, the running of the target household appliance is matched with the target user in a personalized way, and the user experience is more intelligent.

Optionally, when the server controls the home devices related to the temperature, the season in which the target user uses each home device is determined. And determining a habit scheme of the target user for using the target household appliance in the current season according to the association relation between the habit of the target user for using the household appliance in each season and the season. And then the server controls the target household appliance to operate according to the determined habit scheme. Therefore, the operation of the target household appliance is matched with the use habit of the target user in the current season, and the service end can more accurately control the operation scheme of the target household appliance.

Optionally, when the server controls the home appliance related to the temperature, the ambient temperature of the target area is determined first. And determining a habit scheme of the target user for using the target household appliance at the current ambient temperature according to the incidence relation between the habit of the target user for using the household appliance at different ambient temperatures and the ambient temperature. And then the server controls the target household appliance to operate according to the determined habit scheme. Therefore, the operation of the target household appliance is matched with the use habit of the target user at the current environment temperature, and the control of the service end on the operation scheme of the target household appliance is more in line with the habit requirements of the user.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 9, the determining, by the server, a target home device used by the target user includes:

s901, the server side obtains the state information of the household electrical appliance.

And S902, when the state information of the household appliance shows that the target user has the operation intention on the household appliance, the server side determines the household appliance as the target household appliance used by the target user.

And acquiring the state information of the household appliance. For example, the load bearing state of the toilet, the opening and closing state of a shower valve and the state of an exhaust switch are obtained. And when the state information of the household appliance indicates that the target user has the operation intention on the household appliance, determining that the household appliance is the target household appliance used by the target user. For example, when the load of the toilet bowl is larger than a preset value, when a shower valve is in an open state, and when a switch of an exhaust fan is in an open state, indicating that a user has an operation intention, the toilet bowl, the shower, the water heater and the exhaust fan are determined as target household appliances. In this way, compared with the method that the operation action of the user on the household appliance is monitored through the camera to judge whether the household appliance is used, the method that whether the target user uses the household appliance is judged through the state information of the household appliance, and the privacy of the user can be protected. And the problem that the user action is wrongly judged probably when the user action is monitored by the camera can be reduced, so that the judgment accuracy is improved, and the control intelligence of the household appliance is improved.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 10, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an electric home appliance, including:

and S1001, the server responds to the RFID label information read by the household appliance in the target area, and determines the identity of the target user wearing the clothing with the RFID label.

S1002, the server determines a habit scheme of the target user for using the target household appliance according to the identity of the target user and one or more target household appliances used by the target user.

And S1003, the server controls the target household appliance to operate according to a habit scheme that the target user uses the target household appliance.

And S1004, the server side acquires the operation scheme of the target household appliance used by the target user at this time.

S1005, when the target user changes the operation scheme of the target household electrical appliance, the server stores the current operation scheme of the target household electrical appliance as the default operation scheme of the target household electrical appliance when the target user uses the target household electrical appliance again.

And after the server determines the habit scheme of using the target household appliance according to the identity of the target user, the server controls the target household appliance to operate according to the habit scheme. In the process that the target user uses the target household appliance, the server side obtains the operation scheme that the target user uses the target household appliance in real time. And if the target user does not adjust the operation scheme of the target household appliance in the process of using the target household appliance, the target household appliance continues to operate according to the matched habit scheme. If the target user adjusts some operation parameters or modes of a certain user of the target household appliance in the process of using the target household appliance, the target household appliance operates according to the parameters adjusted by the target user. Meanwhile, the service end updates the corresponding operation parameters or modes. And replacing the original habit scheme with the operation scheme adjusted by the target user. For example, when user A uses the toilet, the conventional solution is to adjust the temperature of the toilet seat to 20 ℃. When the user A uses the closestool, the temperature of the closestool ring is adjusted to 22 ℃. The server replaces the toilet seat temperature from 20 ℃ to 22 ℃. When the user A uses the closestool next time, the temperature of the closestool ring is automatically controlled to be 22 ℃. In this way, when the target household appliance is used next time by the target user, the server side calls the operation scheme adjusted when the target household appliance is used by the target user last time, and controls the target household appliance to operate according to the adjusted scheme. Therefore, the habit scheme of the target household appliance is correspondingly changed according to the change of the habit of the target user, and the operation of the target household appliance is more consistent with the habit of the target user. It should be noted that, for the specific processes of step S1001, step S1002, and step S1003, reference may be made to the above embodiments, and details are not described here again.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 11, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an electrical home appliance, including:

and S811, responding to the RFID label information read by the household appliance in the target area by the server.

And S821, under the condition that a plurality of RFID label information exist, the server side determines the identity of the user corresponding to each RFID label information.

And S831, the server side sends inquiry information to the users corresponding to the RFID label information.

And S841, the server determines the identity of the target user according to the response information of the user corresponding to each RFID label information.

After the habit scheme of using the household electrical appliance by the user is formed, when the user uses the related household electrical appliance again, the operation of the household electrical appliance can be controlled. Specifically, when a user enters a target area, an RFID reader on the household appliance reads RFID tag information on clothes worn by the user and uploads the information to the server. In some special cases, the RFID reader may read multiple RFID tag information. For example, there are multiple users in the target area, or the users bring clothes of several other users to be washed, but do not put into the washing machine. In these cases, the RFID reader is caused to read a plurality of RFID tag information. In these cases, the server first determines the identity of the corresponding user according to the information of each RFID tag. And then sends inquiry information to each corresponding user. The mode of sending the query information to the user may be that the server side pushes the query information to the user through the mobile client, or that the server side controls the household appliance with the voice function or the smart sound box to send the voice query to the user. After receiving the query, the user can respond in a manner corresponding to the query manner. For example, if it is the mobile client that pushes the query information to the user, the user can answer on the mobile client whether to use the home device in the target area. If the household appliance or the intelligent sound box with the voice function sends the voice inquiry to the user, the user can directly answer whether the household appliance in the target area needs to be used or not in a speaking mode. And the server determines the identity of the user who uses the household electrical appliance in the target area and uses the response information as the identity of the target user. Or, when the user brings several other pieces of clothes to be washed but does not put into the washing machine, the user does not need to send inquiry information, but the user can judge whether the clothes are clothes worn by the user or clothes to be washed according to the strength of the signals of the plurality of RFID tags read by the RFID reader. If the RFID label signal is suddenly strong and weak, determining that the clothes are worn by the user; and if the signal intensity of the RFID tag is not changed, determining that the clothes are to be washed. And determining the user identity corresponding to the RFID label with the fluctuating signal intensity as the identity of the target user. And then determining a habit scheme of the target household appliance used by the target user according to the identity of the target user and one or more target household appliances used by the target user and based on the previous collection of the use habits of the user. And then controlling the target household appliance to operate according to the determined habit scheme. Therefore, a plurality of RFID label information can be read at the RFID reader, and the server inquires the user to determine whether the user wants to use the household appliance, so that the identity of the target user can be accurately determined. It should be noted that, for the specific processes in step S802 and step S803, reference may be made to the above embodiments, and details are not described here again.

Alternatively, if multiple users use home devices in the target area, the users may select a home device to be used on the mobile client before using the home device, and associate their own identity with the home device to be used. Thereafter, when the RFID reader reads RFID tag information corresponding to the user identity within the target area, the controller no longer sends interrogation information to the plurality of users. Namely, the controller directly controls the household appliances to be used by a plurality of users to run the habit schemes corresponding to the users. Thus, the operation is noninductive and more intelligent.

As shown in fig. 12, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an apparatus for controlling a home device, including: a first determination module 121, a second determination module 122, and a control module 123. The first determining module 121 is configured to determine the identity of a target user wearing the RFID-tagged garment in response to the RFID tag information read by the home appliance in the target area. The second determining module 122 is configured to determine a habit scheme of the target user to use the target home device according to the identity of the target user and one or more target home devices used by the target user. The control module 123 is configured to control the target home device to operate according to a target user's usage pattern of the target home device.

By adopting the device for controlling the household electrical appliance provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the identity for use is determined by the RFID label on the clothes worn by the target user, and then the habit use scheme of the target household electrical appliance is called according to the identity of the target user, so that the operation scheme of the target household electrical appliance is matched with the historical use habit of the target user. The operation of the household appliance is intelligentized without the need of the user to adjust the household appliance in person. Moreover, when the target user identity is identified, a camera identification scheme is abandoned, and privacy violation is avoided. Especially for places with higher privacy degree such as a washroom and a bathroom, the privacy disclosure can be better avoided. In addition, in places with high humidity, such as sensitive operations like fingerprint identification, the identification rate is poor. And the identity recognition is carried out based on the RFID label information, the influence of humidity is avoided, and the influence of the height of a user is avoided, so that the recognition accuracy can be improved.
