In this regard, each block in the flowchart or block diagrams may represent a module, segment, or portion of code that contains one or more functions for implementing the specified logical function(s) executable instructions. In some alternative implementations, the functions noted in the blocks may occur out of the order noted in the figures. For example, two blocks in succession may, in fact, be executed substantially concurrently, or the blocks may sometimes be executed in the reverse order, depending upon the functionality involved. In the descriptions corresponding to the flowcharts and block diagrams in the accompanying drawings, operations or steps corresponding to different blocks may also occur in different sequences than those disclosed in the description, and sometimes there is no specific relationship between different operations or steps. order. For example, two consecutive operations or steps may, in fact, be performed substantially concurrently, or they may sometimes be performed in the reverse order, depending upon the functionality involved. Each block of the block diagrams and/or flowchart illustrations, and combinations of blocks in the block diagrams and/or flowchart illustrations, can be implemented in special purpose hardware-based systems that perform the specified functions or actions, or special purpose hardware implemented in combination with computer instructions.

Claims (10)

1. A method for controlling an appliance, comprising:

acquiring gesture information of a user under the condition that the user is determined to be performing a control action;

determining a control intention of the user according to the gesture information;

and generating a control instruction determined according to the control intention, and executing a control operation corresponding to the control instruction.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the gesture information comprises hand morphology information and hand direction information;

determining the control intention of the user according to the gesture information comprises the following steps:

determining the controlled function type of the household appliance according to the hand form information;

and determining control content information matched with the hand direction information in the determined controlled function type.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein determining the type of controlled function of the home device based on the hand form information comprises:

determining the controlled function type to be sliding control under the condition that the hand shape information indicates that the hand of the user is in a fist shape;

and determining the controlled function type as start-stop control when the hand shape information indicates that the hand of the user is in an unfolded state.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the hand direction information comprises a user's finger direction;

determining control content information matched with the hand direction information in the determined controlled function type, wherein the control content information comprises:

and determining the sliding direction intended by the user according to the finger direction of the user under the condition that the controlled function type is determined to be sliding control.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the hand direction information comprises a palm orientation of the user;

determining control content information matched with the hand direction information in the determined controlled function type, wherein the control content information comprises:

and determining whether the user intends to enter the selected program or exit the selected program according to the palm orientation of the user under the condition that the controlled function type is determined to be start-stop control.

6. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the home appliance device is provided with an ultrasonic module comprising an ultrasonic transmitting part and an ultrasonic receiving part; the acquiring gesture information of the user comprises:

controlling the ultrasonic wave emitting part to emit electromagnetic waves to a related area;

and determining gesture information of the user according to the electromagnetic wave information detected by the ultrasonic wave receiving part.

7. The method according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the home appliance device is provided with a smart screen, and the smart screen comprises a touch component;

determining that the user is performing the control action by:

when the household appliance is in an open state, behavior information detected by the intelligent screen is acquired;

and determining that the user is performing control action when the touch control component detects the touch control operation of the user.

8. An apparatus for controlling an appliance comprising a processor and a memory storing program instructions, wherein the processor is configured to perform the method for controlling an appliance of any of claims 1 to 7 when executing the program instructions.

9. An electric household appliance comprising a device for controlling an electric household appliance according to claim 8.
