step S10, acquiring the state of the appliance body 10;

in step S20, the light strip 20 is controlled to display different color characteristics according to the state of the electrical appliance body 10.

According to the light interaction method, different color characteristics are presented through the light strips 20 according to different states of the household appliance 100, a user can know the state of the household appliance 100 through the light strips 20 conveniently, and man-machine interaction modes are enriched.

In particular, the household appliance 100 may be a cooking-related appliance used during or after cooking, and may be of various types, including but not limited to an oven, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, a sterilizer, a refrigerator, and the like. The user can obtain the state of the electric appliance body 10 in time, the user can conveniently perform the next operation according to the state in time, compared with the existing mode of simply indicating the state of the electric appliance body by using a single bulb, the light interaction method provided by the embodiment of the invention enables the content of light interaction to be richer, compared with the mode of indicating the state of the electric appliance body by using characters, the light interaction method provided by the embodiment of the invention is more intuitive, and the user can conveniently and quickly know the state of the household electric appliance 100 through different color characteristics.

The household appliance 100 may further include a main control panel 50 and a speaker 40, wherein the main control panel 50 is electrically connected to the speaker 40 and the light strip 20. The main control board 50 obtains the state of the electrical appliance body 10, and controls the light strip 20 to present different color characteristics according to the state of the electrical appliance body 10. The main control panel 50 can also control the speaker 40 to play audio according to the state of the appliance body 10.

The state of the electric appliance body 10 is various, and taking the electric appliance 100 as an oven as an example, the electric appliance 100 can be in a baking state, a baking completion state, a power-on state, a standby state, a power-off state, a fault state, and the like, and is not limited herein.

Color characteristics refer to characteristics made up of different colors of the light strip 20. The color characteristics may include different hues of the lamp strip 20, different saturation of the lamp strip 20, and different brightness of the lamp strip 20, where the brightness of the lamp strip 20 is the brightness of the lamp strip 20, and the greater the brightness of the lamp strip 20 is, the stronger the effect of prompting the user to pay attention to the household appliance 100 is, so that when a fault, an emergency, and the like occur, the brightness of the lamp strip 20 is the maximum, so as to prompt the user to solve the fault, the emergency, and the like in time.

In some embodiments, the light strip 20 includes a plurality of emitters for emitting colored light when activated, the color characteristics being determined by the on and off states of the plurality of emitters.

Thus, the luminous elements can be adjusted to emit light with different colors according to requirements, so that abundant color features which can be used for interaction are formed in a combined mode.

Specifically, the light strip 20 includes a large number of light emitting elements, which may be 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200, etc., and is not limited herein. The light emitting member may be an LED lamp. In the prior art, the technology of the LED lamp is mature, the hue and saturation can be adjusted within a certain range, and the LED lamp can be controlled by the main control board 50 simply.

There are many colors that the light-emitting member can emit when it is turned on, which may be white, red, orange, yellow, blue, purple, green, etc., and they are not listed here.

The on-off state of the light emitting element includes not only the on-state or the off-state of the light emitting element, but also the hue, saturation and lightness of the light emitting element in the on-state, i.e., the color characteristics are determined by whether each light emitting element is in the on-state or the off-state, and in the on-state, the hue, saturation and lightness of each light emitting element. It will be appreciated that although the light emitting member does not emit light when in the off state, the light emitting member itself is solid and has a color, so that the color characteristics can be determined even if the light emitting member is entirely in the off state.

Further, the household appliance 100 comprises a display screen 30, and the light interaction method comprises:

step S30, according to the state of the electrical appliance body 10, controlling the display screen 30 to display a corresponding graphical user interface, where the display duration of the graphical user interface is related to the duration of the color feature presented by the light strip 20.

Therefore, the user can know the state of the electrical appliance body 10 through the display screen 30 and the light strip 20, and the user can conveniently and clearly know the state of the electrical appliance body 10.

Specifically, the display 30 may be an LED display 30, a liquid crystal display 30, or the like, and is not particularly limited herein. The display screen 30 may be electrically connected with the main control board 50 such that the main control board 50 controls the display screen 30 to display a corresponding image user interface.

It should be noted that, the steps S20 and S30 should be performed simultaneously, so that the display 30 and the light strip 20 indicate the status of the appliance body 10 and end the indication simultaneously.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, step S20 includes:

in step S21, when the electrical apparatus body 10 is in the first state, the on/off states of the plurality of light emitting elements are controlled according to the first timing sequence, so that the light strip 20 presents a color feature extending from the middle to the two ends.

Therefore, the user can know that the electric appliance body 10 is in the first state conveniently.

Specifically, controlling the on-off states of the plurality of light emitting elements according to the first timing sequence so that the light strip 20 presents a color feature extending from the middle to the two ends means that in the first timing sequence, the light emitting element located in the middle of the light strip 20 is first turned from the off state to the on state, and then the light emitting element located near the middle of the light strip 20 is turned from the off state to the on state, and the plurality of light emitting elements are gradually turned from the off state to the on state along the direction from the middle of the light strip 20 to the two ends of the light strip 20. Thus, compared with the case that a plurality of light emitting elements are turned on simultaneously, the lighting strip 20 is more beautiful and has a visual effect of gradually waking up. Taking the example where the light strip 20 includes 500 light emitting elements and the 500 light emitting elements are arranged in a manner of 2 × 250, the embodiment of the present invention may be that the 125 th and 126 th light emitting elements in each row are turned from the off state to the on state, then the 124 th and 127 th light emitting elements are turned from the off state to the on state, and so on, and gradually the 1 st and 250 th light emitting elements are turned from the off state to the on state.

The first state may be a state in which the electric appliance main body 10 is turned on from off, or a state in which the electric appliance main body is turned off from standby, or another state of the electric appliance main body 10. In the same embodiment, the first state includes a state where the motor body 10 is turned on from the off state and a state where the electric appliance main body 10 is turned off from the standby state to the standby state, which condition of the motor body 10 in the first state can be distinguished through the color displayed by the light strip 20, and which condition of the motor body 10 in the first state can be distinguished through the length of time that the light strip 20 extends from the middle to both ends. For example, when the electrical apparatus body 10 is turned on from off, the light strip 20 emits orange light and exhibits a color characteristic that the middle extends towards the two ends, and when the electrical apparatus body 10 is turned off from standby, the light strip 20 emits yellow light and exhibits a color characteristic that the middle extends towards the two ends; for another example, when the electrical apparatus body 10 is turned on from off, the time of the process of extending the light strip 20 from the middle to the two ends is 1 second, and when the electrical apparatus body 10 is turned off from standby, the time of the process of extending the light strip 20 from the middle to the two ends is 0.5 second.

It should be noted that, after the motor body 10 is switched from the power-off state to the power-on state or from the standby state to the contact standby state, if no other instruction is received within a certain time, the motor body 10 may be in the standby state after being switched on, that is, the standby state.

The time of the first timing may be 0.5 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, or the like. For the sake of convenience of distinction, in fig. 4, the light emitting member in the on state is framed in a dotted line.

In this embodiment, after the light emitting member is in the on state, the colors of the light emitting members may be the same or different, and the colors of the light emitting members may be red, orange, pink, and the like, which is not limited herein.

It is worth noting that the display 30 may display the corresponding graphical user interfaces in a first timing sequence simultaneously with the light strip 20. For example, the electrical appliance body 10 is in a state from power off to power on, the light strip 20 proceeds to step S21, and the display screen 30 displays a corresponding power-on animation. For another example, when the electrical apparatus body 10 is in a state from standby to standby release, the light strip 20 goes to step S21, and the display 30 displays a corresponding standby release animation.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5, step S20 includes:

in step S23, when the electrical apparatus body 10 is in the second state, the on-off states of the plurality of light emitting elements are controlled according to the second timing sequence, so that the light strip 20 presents a color characteristic gradually changing back and forth between two colors.

Therefore, the user can know that the electric appliance body 10 is in the second state conveniently.

Specifically, controlling the on/off states of the plurality of light emitting elements according to the second timing sequence to make the light strip 20 exhibit a color characteristic of gradually changing back and forth between two colors means that in a certain period, the plurality of light emitting elements are controlled according to the second timing sequence to gradually change from one color to another color, and then gradually change from another color to the previous color, and a plurality of periods are repeated. Taking the colors of blue and cyan as an example, the plurality of light-emitting elements are gradually changed from blue to cyan and then gradually changed from cyan to blue, thereby completing a period. It is to be noted that by gradual, it is meant that during the complete change of blue to cyan, the light emitting element will also exhibit an intermediate color between blue and cyan.

The second state may be a cooking state of the electric appliance body 10, a disinfection state of the electric appliance body 10, or a cleaning state of the electric appliance body 10, which is not limited herein. In the same embodiment, when the second state includes the cooking state of the appliance body 10 and the deodorization state of the appliance body 10, what kind of situation that the appliance body 10 is in the second state can be distinguished by that the two colors displayed by the light strips 20 are different under different situations. For example, when the electric appliance body 10 is in the cooking state, the plurality of light emitting elements gradually change from orange to yellow and then gradually change from yellow to orange in a certain period, and a plurality of periods are repeated, and when the electric appliance body 10 is in the deodorization state, the plurality of light emitting elements gradually change from blue to purple and then gradually change from purple to blue in a certain period, and a plurality of periods are repeated.

The time of a certain period may be 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, etc., which are not listed here. The two colors are varied, and may be yellow and orange, blue and purple, red and pink, which are not listed here. Preferably, the two colors belong to the same color family, so that the gradual change is more beautiful. When the second state is the cooking state of the electric appliance body 10, the two colors may both be warm tone colors, so that the user can easily think about the current cooking state of the electric appliance body 10 according to the colors; in the case that the second state is the cleaning/disinfecting/deodorizing state of the electric appliance body 10, the two colors may both be cool-tone colors, so that the user can easily think about the current cleaning/disinfecting/deodorizing state of the electric appliance body 10 according to the colors, and the specific colors of the two colors may be adjusted according to the specific second state, which is not listed herein.

It should be noted that the display 30 may display the corresponding graphical user interface according to the second time sequence and cyclically display according to a certain period simultaneously with the light strip 20. For example, the electric appliance body 10 is in a cooking state, the plurality of light emitting members proceed to step S23, and the display 30 displays a corresponding animation during cooking. For another example, the electric appliance body 10 is in the sterilization state, the plurality of light emitting members proceed to step S23, and the display 30 displays the corresponding animation during sterilization.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, step S20 includes:

in step S25, when the electrical apparatus body 10 is in the third state, the on-off states of the plurality of light emitting elements are controlled to make the light strip 20 exhibit the color characteristics of one color of light.

Therefore, the user can know that the electric appliance body 10 is in the third state conveniently.

Specifically, the third state may be a cooking completion state of the electric appliance body 10, a sterilization completion state of the electric appliance body 10, or a cleaning completion state of the electric appliance body 10, which is not listed here. In the same embodiment, when the third state includes the cooking completion state of the electrical appliance body 10 and the disinfection completion state of the electrical appliance body 10, what kind of situation that the electrical appliance body 10 is in the third state can be distinguished through the color difference displayed by the light strip 20. For example, when the electric appliance body 10 is in the cooking completion state, the plurality of light emitting members appear orange, and when the electric appliance body 10 is in the sterilization completion state, the plurality of light emitting members appear blue.

The time for which the plurality of luminous members exhibit one color light may be 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, etc., and is not particularly limited herein.

There are many types of the light of one color, which may be blue, orange, etc., and is not particularly limited herein. In order to facilitate the user to notice the state of the electric body, the brightness of the plurality of light emitting members may be the maximum brightness of the light emitting members.

It is worth noting that the display screen 30 may display a corresponding graphical user interface. For example, the electric appliance body 10 is in the cooking completion state, the plurality of light emitting members proceed to step S25, and the display 30 displays the corresponding cooking completion animation. For another example, when the electric appliance body 10 is in the sterilization completion state, the plurality of light emitting members proceed to step S25, and the display 30 displays the corresponding sterilization completion animation.

It should be noted that, although the time after the electric appliance body 10 finishes cooking can be counted as the cooking completion state, since it is expensive to display the color characteristics of the cooking completion all the time, the cooking completion state of the embodiment can be set to be a period of time after the electric appliance body 10 finishes cooking, and after the period of time, if no other instruction is received, the cooking completion state is ended, and the electric appliance body 10 can enter a standby state, i.e., a standby state after being started. Disinfection completion status, cleaning completion status, and the like.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, step S20 includes:

in step S27, when the electrical apparatus body 10 is in the fourth state, the on-off states of the plurality of light emitting elements are controlled so that the light strip 20 presents a color characteristic that the color block moves circularly along the light strip.

Therefore, the user can know that the electric appliance body 10 is in the fourth state conveniently.

Specifically, the color block means that a plurality of adjacent light-emitting members which exhibit the same color can be regarded as one color block according to the visual effect. For ease of understanding, the following examples are given. In one embodiment, the light strip 20 includes 250 single-row arranged light emitting elements, and when the electrical appliance body 10 is in the fourth state, the light emitting elements arranged at positions 1, 2, and 3 are all blue, then the position 1 is no longer blue, the position 4 is blue, then the position 2 is no longer blue, the position 5 is blue, and so on, until the light emitting elements arranged at positions 248, 249, and 250 are blue, then the positions 248, 249, and 250 are no longer blue in sequence, and the cycle is ended, so the visual effect is that the blue color block occupying three light emitting elements gradually moves along the direction of the light strip 20.

In addition to the light emitting elements presenting the color blocks, the remaining light emitting elements may be in an off state, and the remaining light emitting elements may also be in an on state and present a color different from the color blocks, which is not specifically limited herein.

The fourth state can be the state that the electric appliance body 10 is connected with WiFi, and the fourth state also can be the state that the electric appliance body 10 is connected with the cell-phone, and this is not a list here. In the same embodiment, the fourth state includes a state where the electrical appliance body 10 is connected to the WiFi and a state where the electrical appliance body 10 is connected to the mobile phone, which condition of the electrical appliance body 10 in the fourth state can be distinguished through different colors of the color block, which condition of the electrical appliance body 10 in the fourth state can also be distinguished through a time length of the single circular movement of the color block along the light strip, which condition of the electrical appliance body 10 in the fourth state can also be distinguished through a time length of the remaining light emitting members of the light emitting members which are removed to present the color block, and which condition of the electrical appliance body 10 in the fourth state is not listed in this case.

The fourth state can appear in the scene that the user operated electrical apparatus body 10, waited for electrical apparatus body 10 to react, and the visual effect among the present embodiment is, the colour piece slides in the extending direction along lamp area 10, so can give a dynamic feedback for the user, increases the patience that the user waited for.

The time for a single cycle of the color block along the light strip may be 4 seconds, 5 seconds, 6 seconds, 7 seconds, etc., and is not particularly limited herein.

It is worth noting that the display screen 30 may display a corresponding graphical user interface. For example, the electrical appliance body 10 is in a WiFi connection state, the plurality of light emitting elements perform step S27, and the display screen 30 displays corresponding WiFi connection animation; for another example, the electrical appliance body 10 is in a state of being connected to a mobile phone, the plurality of light emitting elements proceed to step S27, and the display 30 displays corresponding animation of being connected to the mobile phone.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, step S20 includes:

in step S29, when the electrical apparatus body 10 is in the fifth state, the on-off states of the plurality of light emitting elements are controlled so that the light strip 20 exhibits a color characteristic that a portion of the light strip 20 and the rest of the light strip 20 are alternately switched.

Therefore, the user can know that the electric appliance body 10 is in the fifth state conveniently.

Specifically, under the condition that the electrical apparatus body 10 is in the fifth state, a part of the light emitting elements of the light strip 20 is in an on state, the rest of the light strip 20 is in an off state, then the light emitting elements which are just in the on state are turned off, and the light emitting elements which are just in the off state are turned on. For ease of understanding, the following distance description is made. In one embodiment, the light strip 20 includes 250 light emitting elements arranged in a single row, and when the electrical appliance body 10 is in the fifth state, the light emitting element located at positions 1 to 125 is in the on state, and the light emitting element located at positions 126 to 250 is in the off state, and then the light emitting element located at positions 1 to 125 is in the off state, and the light emitting element located at positions 126 to 250 is in the on state.

The fifth state may be a state in which the electric appliance main body 10 is in a failure, or a state in which the electric appliance main body 10 detects an abnormality, which is not listed here. The fifth state can be applied to a situation where the appliance body 10 needs to give an alarm to a user, and the light emitting elements on the light strip 20 are turned on or off alternately, so that the user is more likely to notice an abnormal condition of the appliance body 10.

There are many ways to relate the portion of the light strip 20 to the remaining portion, for example, the light strip 20 is divided into two sections, and the light emitting elements on the two sections of light strip 20 are alternately turned on and off; for another example, the light strip 20 is divided into 8 segments arranged linearly, and the light emitting elements of the light strip segments located at odd numbers are alternately switched with the light emitting elements of the light strip segments located at even numbers.

The color of the illuminating member may be various, such as red, orange, yellow, etc., and is not limited in particular.

It is worth noting that the display screen 30 may display a corresponding graphical user interface. For example, the electric appliance main body 10 is in a failure state, the plurality of light emitting members proceed to step S29, and the display 30 displays a corresponding failure animation. The home appliance 100 may further include a speaker 40, and when the appliance body 10 is in a failure state, the speaker 40 may issue an alarm together to alert a user to the failure.

Referring to fig. 9, a first state is a power-on process state of the electrical appliance body 10, a second state is a cooking state of the electrical appliance body 10, a third state includes a cooking completion state and a cleaning/disinfecting/deodorizing completion state, a fourth state includes a mobile phone binding state and a WiFi connection state, and a fifth state is an alarm state, as an example, fig. 9 is a flowchart of the present embodiment.
