The embodiment of the invention also provides a storage medium (computer readable storage medium). The storage medium herein stores one or more programs. Among others, the storage medium may include volatile memory, such as random access memory; the memory may also include non-volatile memory, such as read-only memory, flash memory, a hard disk, or a solid state disk; the memory may also comprise a combination of memories of the kind described above.

When one or more programs in the storage medium are executable by one or more processors, the control method of the washing machine performed at the control device side as described above is implemented.

The processor is used for executing the control program of the washing machine stored in the memory so as to realize the following steps of the control method of the washing machine executed on the control device side:

acquiring a signal that washing is finished; detecting the state of the articles in the washing machine; when the object containing state is empty, the cleaning device is controlled to clean the top cover plate.

In one possible embodiment, the state of action of the cap is monitored; and executing the step of detecting the object containing state in the washing machine after the action state of the top cover is monitored to be that the top cover is opened firstly and then closed.

In one possible embodiment, the current weight of the washing machine is obtained; judging whether the current weight is larger than a preset weight or not; and when the current weight is not more than the preset weight, determining that the containing state is empty.

Those of skill would further appreciate that the various illustrative components and algorithm steps described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be implemented as electronic hardware, computer software, or combinations of both, and that the various illustrative components and steps have been described above generally in terms of their functionality in order to clearly illustrate this interchangeability of hardware and software. Whether such functionality is implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the implementation. Skilled artisans may implement the described functionality in varying ways for each particular application, but such implementation decisions should not be interpreted as causing a departure from the scope of the present invention.

The steps of a method or algorithm described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be embodied in hardware, a software module executed by a processor, or a combination of the two. A software module may reside in Random Access Memory (RAM), memory, Read Only Memory (ROM), electrically programmable ROM, electrically erasable programmable ROM, registers, hard disk, a removable disk, a CD-ROM, or any other form of storage medium known in the art.

It should be understood that the above examples are only for clarity of illustration and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments. And obvious variations or modifications therefrom are within the scope of the invention.
