Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of a refrigerator on which function keys are provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the control method of the refrigerator may include the following steps S102 to S108.
Step S102: and acquiring target selection operation received by the function key, and selecting a control target corresponding to the target selection operation.
In this step, the target selection operation may be an instantaneous pressing operation, but may be another type of operation set in advance. And each time the target selection operation received by the function key is obtained, a control target corresponding to the target selection operation can be selected. In general, a refrigerator has a plurality of objects, for example, a freezing chamber, a refrigerating chamber, a temperature changing chamber, and a special function, which may be arranged in a certain order, for example, a first object selection operation corresponds to the freezing chamber, a second object selection operation corresponds to the refrigerating chamber, a third object selection operation corresponds to the temperature changing chamber, and a fourth object selection operation corresponds to the special function. And, the target selection operation may perform a loop selection of the above target, for example, the fifth target selection operation corresponds again to the freezing chamber. The object selection operation may also be understood as an object finding operation, i.e. finding an object to be controlled.
Step S104: and acquiring a target determination operation of a control target received by the function key, and determining the control target.
In this step, the targeting operation may be a long press operation, and a long time may be set, for example, an arbitrary value between 3 to 5 seconds, but of course, may be another type of operation set in advance. The control target is determined, i.e. the found target is validated for controlling the target.
Step S106: and acquiring operation mode selection operation of a control target received by the function key, and selecting an operation mode corresponding to the operation mode selection operation.
In this step, each object may have a plurality of operation modes, for example, the freezing chamber, the refrigerating chamber, and the temperature changing chamber may have a plurality of temperature shift stages, and specifically, for example, the temperature shift stages may include a strong stage, a medium-strong stage, a medium stage, a weak stage, and the like, and the special functions may include a quick freezing function, an intelligent function, an interconnection function, turning off all the special functions, and the like. The quick-freezing function is that the refrigerator automatically exits after continuously running for a certain period of time at a certain temperature, and the certain temperature can be set, for example, at-28 ℃, and the certain period of time can also be set, for example, 50 hours; the intelligent function is that the refrigerating chamber is automatically set to a first preset temperature, for example, 5 ℃, the freezing chamber is automatically set to a second preset temperature, for example, 18 ℃ below zero, and the temperature changing chamber is normally controlled; the interconnection function, namely the refrigerator automatically enters a network configuration mode, the refrigerator can be connected with the network through an application management program, and after the connection is successful, the application management program controls the refrigerator through the network. The operation mode selection operation may be an instantaneous pressing operation, but may be other types of operation that are preset. In general, the operation modes of each object may be arranged in a certain order, for example, under a special function, the first operation mode selection operation corresponds to the quick-freezing function, the second operation mode selection operation corresponds to the intelligent function, the third operation mode selection operation corresponds to the interconnection function, the fourth operation mode selection operation corresponds to the closing of all special functions, and the operation mode selection operation may perform a cyclic selection on the operation modes, for example, the fifth operation mode selection operation corresponds to the quick-freezing function again. The user can know the selected targets and the running modes of the targets according to the preset arrangement sequence.
Step S108: and acquiring a mode determining operation of the operation mode received by the function key, determining the operation mode of the control target, and enabling the control target to operate according to the operation mode. In this step, the mode determination operation may be a long press operation, and a long time may be set, for example, an arbitrary value between 3 to 5 seconds, but of course, may be another type of operation set in advance.
In this embodiment, a target selection operation received by a function key is acquired, and a control target corresponding to the target selection operation is selected; acquiring target determining operation of a control target received by a function key, and determining the control target; acquiring operation mode selection operation of a control target received by a function key, and selecting an operation mode corresponding to the operation mode selection operation; the method and the device have the advantages that compared with the scheme of adopting the display panel to adjust the operation mode of the refrigerator, the display panel is not needed, the cost is low, the space occupied by the function keys relative to the display panel is small, the installation position on the refrigerator is not limited, and the advantage of the method and the device is particularly obvious for some refrigerators with smaller volumes. In this embodiment, although only the targets and corresponding operation modes such as the freezing chamber, the refrigerating chamber, the temperature changing chamber and the special functions are listed, it is needless to say that other targets and corresponding modes such as mother and infant, rare products, rapid cooling, holidays and zero degree can be included, and the targets and the corresponding modes are not listed here.
In one embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator is also provided with a prompt module;
after the step of selecting the control target corresponding to the target selection operation, the method may further include:
the control prompt module outputs first prompt information corresponding to the control target;
after the step of selecting the operation mode corresponding to the operation mode selection operation, the method may further include:
and the control prompt module outputs second prompt information corresponding to the operation mode.
In this embodiment, after the step of selecting the control target corresponding to the target selection operation, the control prompt module outputs first prompt information corresponding to the control target, so that the user knows the specific content of the selected control target according to the first prompt information, for example, the control target is a freezing chamber; after the step of selecting the operation mode corresponding to the operation mode selection operation, the control prompt module outputs second prompt information corresponding to the operation mode, so that a user knows the specific content of the selected operation mode, for example, the strong gear of the temperature of the freezing chamber according to the second prompt information. The mode can enable a user to easily know the selected control target and the operation mode of the control target, so that the user does not need to consider the arrangement sequence of each target and the corresponding operation mode. It can be understood that the first prompt information corresponding to different control targets is different. The second prompt information corresponding to the different operation modes is also different. The first hint information and the second hint information are also different.
In one embodiment of the invention, the prompting module is a status indicator light;
the step of outputting the first prompt information corresponding to the control target by the control prompt module may include:
the control state indicator lamp is displayed according to a first display mode corresponding to the control target;
the step of controlling the prompt module to output the second prompt information corresponding to the operation mode may include:
and controlling the status indicator lamp to display according to a second display mode corresponding to the operation mode.
In this embodiment, the status indicator may display red, green, blue, white, etc. colors, and each color may be in a state of normal lighting, breathing, blinking, etc. The control status indicator lamp is displayed according to a first display mode corresponding to a control target, for example, the freezing chamber is normally bright corresponding to red, the refrigerating chamber is normally bright corresponding to green, the temperature changing chamber is normally bright corresponding to white, and the special function is normally bright corresponding to blue. The control status indicator lamp displays according to a second display mode corresponding to the operation mode, for example, the strong gear corresponds to red flickering, the medium gear corresponds to red-green alternate flickering, the medium gear corresponds to green flickering, the weak medium gear corresponds to green-white alternate flickering, the weak gear corresponds to white flickering, the quick-freezing function corresponds to red respiration, the intelligent function corresponds to green respiration, the interconnection function corresponds to white respiration, and all special functions are closed to correspond to blue respiration. The user can easily know the selected target and the operation mode corresponding to the target according to the display mode of the status indicator lamp. Of course, the prompting module can also be a voice module, and the specific contents of the target and the corresponding operation mode selected by the user are prompted in a voice broadcasting mode.
In one embodiment of the present invention, before the step of obtaining the target selection operation received by the function key, the method may further include:
controlling the refrigerator to enter a control target selection menu according to a first preset mode; wherein the control target selection menu includes at least one selectable target;
the step of selecting the control target corresponding to the target selection operation may include:
selecting a control target corresponding to the target selection operation from the control target selection menu;
after the step of determining the control target, it may further include:
controlling the refrigerator to enter an operation mode selection menu of a control target; wherein the operating mode selection menu includes at least one selectable mode;
the step of selecting the operation mode corresponding to the operation mode selection operation may include:
and selecting an operation mode corresponding to the operation mode selection operation from the operation mode selection menu.
In this embodiment, the selectable targets included in the control target selection menu may refer to the above-described embodiments, and may include targets such as a freezing chamber, a refrigerating chamber, a temperature changing chamber, and a special function. The optional modes of the targets included in the operation mode selection menu may also refer to the above embodiments, and will not be described herein. Before the step of acquiring the target selection operation received by the function key, controlling the refrigerator to enter a control target selection menu according to a first preset mode so as to ensure that the acquired operation received by the function key is the target selection operation, and after the step of determining the control target, controlling the refrigerator to enter an operation mode selection menu of the control target so as to ensure that the acquired operation received by the function key is the operation mode selection operation.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of controlling the refrigerator to enter the control target selection menu according to the first preset manner may include:
and acquiring a starting instruction of the refrigerator, and enabling the refrigerator to enter a control target selection menu in response to the starting instruction.
In this embodiment, a start instruction of the refrigerator is obtained, and in response to the start instruction, the refrigerator can be made to enter a state of a control target selection menu in advance, so that it is ensured that an operation performed by a user on a function key is a target selection operation, and the mode of entering the control target selection menu does not increase additional operations of the user, so that use experience of the user is improved.
In one embodiment of the present invention, after the step of causing the control target to operate in the operation mode, it may further include:
and controlling the refrigerator to enter a control target selection menu according to a second preset mode.
In this embodiment, after the step of enabling the control target to operate according to the operation mode, the refrigerator is controlled to enter the control target selection menu according to the second preset mode, so that the user can reselect a new control target, and the use experience of the user is improved.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of controlling the refrigerator to enter the control target selection menu according to the second preset manner may include:
judging whether the function key receives operation mode selection operation of a control target in a preset time period;
if not, the refrigerator is made to enter a control target selection menu.
In this embodiment, it is determined whether the function key receives the operation mode selection operation of the control target within the preset time period, and if not, the refrigerator is caused to enter the control target selection menu, so that the user can reselect a new control target, and the use experience of the user is improved. The preset time period may be any value between 30 and 60 seconds, for example, 45 seconds, 55 seconds, etc.
In one embodiment of the present invention, if the function key receives the operation mode selection operation of the control target within the preset time period, the step of selecting the operation mode selection operation from the operation mode selection menu as the corresponding operation mode is re-executed.
In this embodiment, when the user selects the operation mode, a situation of wrong selection may occur. If the function key receives the operation mode selection operation of the control target within the preset time period, the step of selecting the operation mode corresponding to the operation mode selection operation from the operation mode selection menu is re-executed, so that the user can conveniently re-select when the situation of wrong selection occurs.
In some other embodiments of the present invention, the step of controlling the refrigerator to enter the control target selection menu according to the second preset manner may include determining whether the function key receives a preset designation operation, and if so, causing the refrigerator to enter the control target selection menu. The preset specified operation may be a long press operation, and the duration of the long press operation may be set. It is understood that the preset designating operation and the mode determining operation may be the same operation, that is, the operation mode of the control target is determined while the refrigerator is brought into the control target selection menu.
In one embodiment of the invention, the refrigerator is also provided with a sound production module;
after the step of obtaining the target selection operation received by the function key, the method may further include:

and controlling the sounding module to emit a fourth sound signal.
In this embodiment, the sounding module may be a buzzer. The first sound signal, the second sound signal, the third sound signal, and the fourth sound signal may be the same or different. After the step of acquiring the target selection operation received by the function key, the sounding module is controlled to emit a first sound signal, for example, the buzzer is controlled to make a sound, after the step of acquiring the target determination operation of the control target received by the function key, the sounding module is controlled to emit a second sound signal, after the step of acquiring the operation mode selection operation of the control target received by the function key, the sounding module is controlled to emit a third sound signal, after the step of acquiring the mode determination operation of the operation mode received by the function key, the sounding module is controlled to emit a fourth sound signal, so that a user knows that the user successfully operates the function key, the possibility of misoperation of the user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.
In some other embodiments of the invention, the operating mode of a particular function in one of the targets is in a locked state, i.e., an uncontrollable state, while the operating mode of the particular function in the other targets is in an operating state. For example, the temperature of the freezer compartment may not be adjustable while operating according to a specific function of the quick-freeze function. Specifically, when the operation mode selection operation of the control target received by the function key is obtained, the operation mode corresponding to the selected operation mode selection operation is a certain temperature gear of the freezing chamber, the sounding module can be controlled to send out an invalid prompting signal, for example, the buzzer is controlled to send out sound continuously for many times, the invalid prompting signal is only different from the first sound signal to the fourth sound signal which prompt the user to know that the user successfully operates the function key in the above embodiment, and likewise, the prompting module can be controlled to output invalid prompting information to prompt the user to be inoperable, and the invalid prompting information is different from the first prompting information and the second prompting information in the above embodiment. For another example, when operating in a special function intelligent mode, neither the freezer nor refrigerator compartment temperatures are adjustable. Specifically, when the operation mode corresponding to the operation mode selection operation is a certain temperature gear of the freezing chamber or the refrigerating chamber, the buzzer can be controlled to send out an invalid prompting signal, for example, sound is continuously sent out for a plurality of times, and likewise, the prompting module can be controlled to output invalid prompting information to prompt a user to be inoperable.
