Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, the control unit is further provided with a storage module, the storage module is arranged inside or outside the main control unit 401, and the selection unit 700 directly or indirectly transmits the function codes, such as the function codes a, b, and c, to the storage module for storage. The storage module may also store the function codes that have been selected. The memory module may also be provided in each of the embodiments before or after the present example.
Through the configuration, the selected function code is sent to the driving unit, and the driving unit calls the target function program module corresponding to the function code, so that the existing target function in the main control chip is activated, a chip control program does not need to be written, and the use of the original household appliance function of a user is not influenced even if the function code is wrong. And the target function is directly activated through the function code, so that the updating time is short, and the plug and play function is realized. In addition, the function code is stored in a storage module (such as EEPROM), and the storage mode has small error probability and can be repeatedly erased and written.
Additionally, through the utility model discloses an above-mentioned embodiment configuration activation target function, the household electrical appliances fall the power back, need not to ask once more to activate target function, can be once and for all.
Specific forms of the function codes will be exemplified below. The function code in the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the form of the following example, and may be a letter, a target function unit ID, a number, a character string, or a combination thereof.
FIG. 12 illustrates a control flow diagram of function code, shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment.
In one possible implementation manner, the selection unit 700 stores function codes in advance, such as a code a, a code b, and a code c, where the code a corresponds to the target function a, the code b corresponds to the target function b, and the code c corresponds to the target function c. When the function code is set to 0, the target function corresponding to 0 is not activated, and when the function code is set to 1, the target function corresponding to 1 is activated.
Illustratively, in response to the attachment of the electronic control unit b, the selection unit 700 receives information that sets the code b to 1, that is, information that configures the target function b, sets the code b to 1, and sets the codes a and c to 0. The drive unit 800 starts reading the function code of the selected unit 700, alternatively the drive unit may read only code b set to 1, or may read code a, code b and code c separately or simultaneously, for example 010. The driving unit calls a target function program module b corresponding to the code b set to 1 from among target function program modules a, b, c preset in the driving unit 800 based on the read function codes, for example, based on the code b set to 1, the code a and the code c having a value of 0, to drive the target function b.
Thus, the activation of the target function of the attached target function unit can be achieved by updating several function codes, and the update time is short (for example, several tens of milliseconds in general).
The utility model provides a target function module a, b, c, function code a, b, c, chip control program a ', b ', c ' etc. are all the exemplification, do not do the restriction to quantity, both can be more than exemplary quantity, also can be less than exemplary quantity.
