Control method and apparatus for household electrical appliance

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method and apparatus for a household electrical appliance. The control method comprises following steps that a microphone module receives voice information, and an infrared sensor detects whether a heat source change meeting preparatory conditions is in front of the household electrical appliance; an image collecting and identifying module is started after voice information decibels are larger than preparatory decibel thresholds or when the infrared sensor detects that the heat source change meets the preparatory conditions; the image collecting and identifying module performs face detection so as to determine whether a user faces the household electrical appliance; a voice recognition module is started if the user faces the household electrical appliance; and the voice recognition module is controlled to receive user voice commands and recognize the commands, or the image collecting and identifying module directly collects gesture or mouth motions of the user and identifies the motions. By employing the control method and the control apparatus for the household electrical appliance, the household electrical appliance can be controlled more naturally and more conveniently without the use of mobile phone APP and networks, and the user usage experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a control method and device for household appliances. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of the level of informatization, more and more home appliances are gradually becoming intelligent. Compared with traditional home appliances, smart home appliances can be connected together through a home LAN, connected to the manufacturer's service site through a home gateway interface, and finally connected to the Internet to share information; It automatically responds to different environments without manual operation, which brings convenience to users. [0003] At present, there are mainly two control methods for smart home appliances: the first one is to install the corresponding APP on the mobile phone and use WIFI or the Internet to control the smart home appliances; the second is to use the voice recognition module in the smart home ap...
