Washing machine control method, and washing machine

Abstract

A washing machine includes a local control mode and a remote control mode implemented through an intelligent terminal. The washing machine authorizes/forbids the intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine according to state information of the washing machine after receiving a remote control request transmitted by a local machine or the intelligent terminal. When the state information of the washing machine conforms to a condition for remote control, the washing machine authorizes the intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine. When the state information of the washing machine does not conform to the condition for remote control, the washing machine forbids the intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine. The control method is applicable to the field of Internet of Things washing machines, and may effectively guarantee the safety of the Internet of Things washing machine in the remote control and avoid occurrence of safety accidents.

         6 . The method for controlling the washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein: a plurality of intelligent terminals are provided; the washing machine authorizes one intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine at one time, and a remote control request transmitted by a non-authorized intelligent terminal is pushed to the intelligent terminal authorized to ask the intelligent terminal authorized to confirm an authorization. 
     
     
         7 . The method for controlling the washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein: the intelligent terminal is in communication connection with the washing machine; the washing machine transmits the state information of the washing machine to the intelligent terminal, and the intelligent terminal displays the state information of the washing machine in real time; and the intelligent terminal transmits a remote control instruction to control a working state of the washing machine after being authorized by the washing machine. 
     
     
         8 . The method for controlling the washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein: the local control mode is a control mode in which a control instruction is input through an operation interface of the local machine to control an operation state of the washing machine, and the remote control mode is a control mode in which the control instruction is input through the intelligent terminal to wirelessly control the operation state of the washing machine; and the local control mode and the remote control mode have different priority levels. 
     
     
         9 . The method for controlling the washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein if the washing machine authorizes one intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine, and is executing or has executed the control instruction from the one intelligent terminal, the priority level of the remote control mode of the one intelligent terminal is higher than the priority level of the local control mode; and the local machine is input the control instruction to control the working state of the washing machine after being authorized by the intelligent terminal. 
     
     
         10 . A washing machine using the washing machine control method according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         11 . The method for controlling the washing machine according to  claim 2 , wherein: the washing machine determines whether the door cover of the washing machine is in a closed state after receiving the remote control request, and
 the washing machine controls a door lock to be locked and authorizes the intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine if a determination result is YES, or forbids the intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine if the determination result is NO.   
     
     
         12 . The method for controlling the washing machine according to  claim 4 , wherein: when the user closes the door cover, the washing machine controls the door lock to be locked, and authorizes the intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine. 
     
     
         13 . The method for controlling the washing machine according to  claim 2 , wherein: the washing machine comprises an upper washing drum and a lower washing drum;
 the washing machine determines whether a door cover of the lower washing drum of the washing machine is in the closed state after receiving the remote control request transmitted by the local machine or the intelligent terminal,   if a determination result is YES, the washing machine controls the door lock of the lower washing drum to be locked and authorizes the intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine, or   if the determination result is NO, the washing machine forbids the intelligent terminal to remotely control the washing machine, and pushes the information that indicates the authorization failure to the washing machine and/or the intelligent terminal, and prompts the user to close the door cover of the lower washing drum.   
     
     
         14 . The method for controlling the washing machine according to  claim 3 , wherein: the washing machine comprises an upper washing drum and a lower washing drum;
