Detailed ways

This embodiment provides a control device and a control method for a refrigerator, which are used for intelligently controlling a refrigerator with a network transmission function. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application environment architecture of a control device for a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention. The refrigerator 110 to which the refrigerator control device in this embodiment is applied can perform data interaction with the home appliance management cloud server 130 and the mobile terminal 120 bound to the user through the network. Connect directly to the cloud server 130, or use the mobile terminal as a transit node for the communication between the refrigerator 110 and the cloud server 130, and the refrigerator 110 communicates with the mobile terminal 120 through a predetermined communication method (including but not limited to wireless network, bluetooth, infrared, etc.) , the mobile terminal 120 communicates with the home appliance management cloud server 130 .

The operating data of the refrigerator 110 is stored in the cloud server 130 in advance, such as the binding relationship between the mobile terminal 120 and the refrigerator 110 . In this embodiment, multiple operating modes of the refrigerator 110 are stored in the cloud server 130, and each set of operating modes of the refrigerator includes multiple control parameters of the refrigerator, such as the set temperature and set humidity of each compartment of the refrigerator 110, Defrost conditions, refrigeration power, quick freezing conditions, silent time, air supply volume, and food preservation reminder conditions. The specific content of the control parameters may be determined according to the functions configured on the refrigerator 110 .

The inventor summarized and analyzed a large number of refrigerator usage data, and found that the control parameters used by the refrigerator 110 are related to the geographical area where it is installed, that is to say, users in the same area have a higher probability of using the same control parameters for the refrigerator. There are many reasons for this rule. For example, the eating habits of users in the same area are basically the same, so the types of food stored in the refrigerator 110 are relatively consistent. It is necessary to use the same control parameters to control the refrigerator. For example, for coastal areas, storage There is more demand for seafood products; for areas that are used to eating meat, there is more demand for storing meat products; for some areas, there is more demand for storing dry products, so when users use the refrigerator, they will adjust the refrigerator to meet the requirements for storing food. Under storage requirements. On the other hand, the environmental conditions in the same area are the same, for example, the influence of the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity on the refrigerator is also consistent, which will also cause the user to make the same adjustments to the refrigerator. Based on this discovery, the refrigerator control device and control method of this embodiment are proposed, which facilitates the user to set up the refrigerator, improves the convenience of using the refrigerator, and meets the requirements of the user.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a refrigerator control device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The refrigerator control device 200 can be installed in the above refrigerator 110 to directly adjust according to the operation status of the refrigerator 110 . In another embodiment, the refrigerator control device 200 may also be set in the mobile terminal 120 bound to the refrigerator 110 , and the mobile terminal 120 remotely controls the refrigerator 110 . The refrigerator control device 200 may generally include: a location acquisition module 210 , a mode query module 220 , a mode reception module 230 , and a control module 240 .

The location obtaining module 210 obtains the installation location information of the refrigerator. There are many ways to obtain the installation location information. An optional implementation method is: extract the refrigerator's logo, query the after-sales information of the refrigerator according to the logo, and extract the installation location information in the after-sales information. Each refrigerator can be assigned a unique identification code before leaving the factory. This identification can be used as an index of refrigerator data. When the refrigerator is sold and after-sales maintenance, the identification and refrigerator information can be stored accordingly. The refrigerator information may include sales channels, after-sales maintenance locations, and the like. Therefore, the installation location of the refrigerator can be determined through the after-sales information. For example, it can be obtained by querying the after-sales system database according to the identifier of the refrigerator.

The second method for the location obtaining module 210 to obtain the installation location information is: obtain the refrigerator network address (for example, IP address), and query the corresponding location information according to the refrigerator network address. The IP address of the network device can determine the corresponding information of the network service provider, and further determine the general location of the network device, so the location acquisition module 210 can determine the general installation location of the refrigerator through the network address. For example, the IP address in the data packet of the refrigerator is obtained, and the location corresponding to the IP address is queried.

The third method for the location obtaining module 210 to obtain the installation location information is: to obtain the location information of the mobile terminal bound to the refrigerator, and use the location information of the mobile terminal as the installation location of the refrigerator. Generally, mobile terminals are equipped with a positioning device (such as GPS), so the positioning device of the mobile terminal or the location information of its base station can be used for positioning, and the location information of the mobile terminal can be used as the installation location of the refrigerator.

The execution process of the cloud server 130 may include: extracting the location information in the query request, or querying the installation location information of the refrigerator according to the information of the refrigerator; determining the area where the refrigerator is located according to the location information; querying the operating mode of the refrigerator matching the area where the refrigerator is located, One or more sets of refrigerator operation modes with the highest matching degree are taken as the recommended operation modes. Since the above-mentioned installation information may be geographical point location information such as address or latitude and longitude, the cloud server 130 needs to first determine the area where the location point is located, such as the city where the refrigerator is installed, the community where it is located, and the like. The factors considered in the matching process may include the number of times of use, distance, favorable rate, etc. The recommended operation mode may be the operation mode of the most used refrigerators in the area, the operation mode used by other refrigerators closest to the refrigerator; the operation mode with the highest favorable rate of refrigerator users. The cloud server can choose one of the above factors or combine multiple factors to match the operation mode of the refrigerator.

The mode receiving module 230 may be configured to receive one or more sets of recommended operation modes matched by the cloud server 130 according to the query request, for selection by the user of the refrigerator. The mode receiving module 230 may display the recommended running mode returned by the cloud server 130 in an intuitive manner. For example, various icons reflecting the control parameters of the refrigerator are designed in advance, and the contents of the above operating modes are output to the user so that the user can choose. These icons need to meet the needs of users to directly associate with the corresponding use requirements or use scenarios to improve the degree of recognition. The above information about the recommended operation mode may be displayed on a display screen of the refrigerator or a display screen of a mobile terminal bound to the refrigerator.

The control module 240 is configured to control the refrigerator according to the selected control parameters of the recommended operation mode. After determining the operation mode to be used, the control parameters of the operation mode can be saved to the main control board of the refrigerator, and the refrigerator automatically adjusts the operation state according to these control parameters. In the case that the above mode receiving module 230 only receives a set of recommended operating modes, the recommended operating mode can be used directly after confirmation without user selection. An optional execution process of the control module 240 is: obtain the user's selection operation on the recommended operation mode, and extract the control parameters of the selected recommended operation mode; Make adjustments.

The control device 200 of the refrigerator in this embodiment determines the corresponding recommended operating mode according to the installation position of the refrigerator, and the recommended operating mode automatically matches the eating habits and environmental conditions of the area where the refrigerator is located, so that the refrigerator automatically operates in a state that can meet the requirements of the user. In this state, the inconvenience caused by a large number of settings to the user is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

In order to further improve the control flexibility of the refrigerator, the control device 200 of the refrigerator in this embodiment can also provide some customers with special requirements to modify the custom operating mode. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a refrigerator control device 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The refrigerator control device 200 can add a setting operation acquisition module 250 and a mode modification module 260 on the basis of the previous embodiment.

The operation acquisition module 250 can acquire the user's selection operation on the recommended operation mode, and extract the control parameters of the selected recommended operation mode, so as to adjust the operation state of the refrigerator according to the control parameters of the selected recommended operation mode. When the display screen of the refrigerator is used to output the information of the recommended operation mode, the operation obtaining module 250 can obtain the user's selection operation through the refrigerator's man-machine interface (eg, touch screen, buttons, etc.). In the case of using the display screen bound to the refrigerator to output the information of the recommended operating mode, the operation acquisition module 250 can also use the man-machine interface of the mobile terminal to acquire the user's selection operation, and transmit the user's selection to the refrigerator. .

The mode modifying module 260 can be configured to obtain the user's modifying operation of the control parameters in the recommended operating mode through the man-machine interface of the refrigerator or the mobile terminal, and control the refrigerator according to the modified control parameters. Therefore, the mode modification module 260 is suitable for users who have a certain understanding of refrigerators, so that these users can adjust the control parameters. Furthermore, the mode modification module 260 can also generate a custom operating mode according to the modified control parameters, and upload the custom operating mode to the cloud server for use by other users, and enrich the cloud server by utilizing the refrigerator operating modes shared by users. The data.

The specific content of the control parameters can be determined according to the functions configured by the refrigerator.

In step S402, the installation location of the refrigerator can be determined in various ways. An optional implementation method for determining the installation location of the refrigerator is: extracting the logo of the refrigerator, querying the after-sales information of the refrigerator according to the logo, and extracting the installation location information in the after-sales information . Each refrigerator can be assigned a unique identification code before leaving the factory. This identification can be used as an index of refrigerator data. When the refrigerator is sold and after-sales maintenance, the identification and refrigerator information can be stored accordingly. The refrigerator information may include sales channels, after-sales maintenance locations, and the like. Therefore, the installation location of the refrigerator can be determined through the after-sales information. For example, it can be obtained by querying the after-sales system database according to the identifier of the refrigerator.

The second way to determine the installation location of the refrigerator is to obtain the network address (for example, IP address) of the refrigerator, and query the corresponding location information according to the network address of the refrigerator. The IP address of the network device can determine the corresponding information of the network service provider, and further determine the general location of the network device, so the location acquisition module 210 can determine the general installation location of the refrigerator through the network address. For example, the IP address in the data packet of the refrigerator is obtained, and the location corresponding to the IP address is queried.

A third way of determining the installation location of the refrigerator is: acquiring location information of a mobile terminal bound to the refrigerator, and using the location information of the mobile terminal as the installation location of the refrigerator. Generally, mobile terminals are equipped with a positioning device (such as GPS), so the positioning device of the mobile terminal or the location information of its base station can be used for positioning, and the location information of the mobile terminal can be used as the installation location of the refrigerator.

The operation mode query request generated and sent in step S404 may include refrigerator information such as refrigerator identification, refrigerator model, and the installation location information determined above, for the cloud server to perform matching.

Since the above-mentioned installation information may be geographical point location information such as address or latitude and longitude, the cloud server needs to first determine the area where the location point is located, such as the city where the refrigerator is installed, the community where it is located, and the like. The factors considered in the matching process may include: the operating mode of the most used refrigerators in the area, the operating modes used by other refrigerators closest to the refrigerator, and the operating mode with the highest favorable rate of refrigerator users. The cloud server can choose one of the above factors or combine multiple factors to match the operation mode of the refrigerator.

Step S406 may be configured to receive one or more recommended operation modes from the cloud server according to the query request for selection by the user of the refrigerator. In an optional example, the recommended running mode returned by the cloud server may be displayed in an intuitive manner. For example, various icons reflecting the control parameters of the refrigerator are designed in advance, and the contents of the above operating modes are output to the user so that the user can choose. These icons need to meet the needs of users to directly associate with the corresponding use requirements or use scenarios to improve the degree of recognition. The information of the above-mentioned recommended operation mode may be displayed by a display screen of the refrigerator or a display screen of a mobile terminal bound to the refrigerator. When the cloud server returns multiple sets of recommended operating modes, it can output to the user one by one according to the predetermined priority for the user to choose; when the cloud server returns only one set of recommended operating modes, it can directly output the control parameters of the recommended operating mode for User confirmation.
