Fig. 1 is a system structure diagram of a shared washing machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 1, a server 110 is associated with a plurality of laundry rooms 120, each laundry room is provided with a plurality of shared washing machines, and the shared washing machines and the server communicate with each other through WiFi, 4/5G, or wired communication. The user makes an appointment for sharing the washing machine through the client 130; the laundry room manager performs background management on the shared washing machine through the shared washing machine management platform 140.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a control method for a shared washing machine according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a server side, and as shown in fig. 1, the control method for a shared washing machine includes the following steps.

Step 210: status information of all the shared laundry machines is acquired.

In the embodiment of the application, the shared washing machine is communicated with the server, and the state information of the shared washing machine is sent to the server. The state information of the shared washing machine comprises a use state, an idle state and a reservation state, and the server side can acquire and send the state information of all the shared washing machines in a future period of time to the client side. For example, sharing the status information of the laundry machine within 3, 5 or 7 days in the future. The server can acquire the states of all the shared washing machines in different positions and different types in real time, and a user can conveniently know and reserve the corresponding shared washing machine in time. The shared washing machine provided by the embodiment is mainly provided for only one reservation user to use in the same time period.

Step 220: and receiving the demand information sent by the client according to the state information.

In the embodiment of the application, a user checks the state information of all the shared washing machines in a future period of time through a client, and then sends the required information to a server through the client based on the washing requirements of the user. The demand information may include a desired start time, a desired end time, i.e., a desired use period of the shared laundry machine set by the user. The requirement information can also comprise the function types of the washing machine, such as washing, drying and high-temperature disinfection, so that the follow-up server side can match the washing machine with the user and can reserve the washing machine. The demand information may further include a target washing machine, i.e., a washing machine that the user directly designates to use.

Step 230: and generating and sending a reservation order to the client according to the demand information, wherein the reservation order comprises the identification of the target washing machine and the target starting time.

In the embodiment of the application, after the user knows the shared washing machine state information, the user can adjust the reserved time period of the washing machine, namely, the target starting time and the target ending time are determined. For example, if the expected time period of the user is 16:00-18:00, but there is no laundry machine reserved between 16:00-17:00, the user may determine the target time period to be 17: 00-18:00.

In the embodiment of the application, when the demand information only comprises the expected starting time and the expected ending time, the server side can allocate a full-function washing machine, namely a target washing machine, to the user according to the expected use time period of the user so as to meet the functional requirements of the washing machine with various possibilities of the user; when the requirement information further comprises the function type of the washing machine, the server side can allocate one washing machine for the user according to the function requirement of the washing machine of the user, if the user desires to use the washing and high-temperature disinfection functions, the server side can allocate one washing machine with the washing and high-temperature disinfection functions for the user; when the demand information further comprises the target washing machine, the server directly occupies the expected use time period of the target washing machine specified by the user.

And after the server distributes the target washing machine for the user or the user specifies the target washing machine according to the demand information, the server occupies the expected time period of the target washing machine to generate the reservation order. The reservation order includes a target start time, a target end time, an identification of the target-sharing laundry machine, and the like.

Step 240: and receiving an unlocking instruction sent by the client or the target washing machine.

In the embodiment of the application, the user can unlock the target washing machine only when arriving at the site where the target washing machine is located. The user can scan the unlocking two-dimensional code on the target washing machine through the client so that the client sends an unlocking instruction to the server. The user can also input the password on the target washing machine, so that the target washing machine sends an unlocking instruction to the server side.

Step 250: and if the difference value between the moment of receiving the unlocking instruction and the target starting moment is within a preset range, sending a working instruction to the target washing machine so as to unlock the target washing machine.

In the embodiment of the application, the preset range is the unlocking waiting time, and is set to be 5min, for example. If the expected starting time of the user is 13:00, the user only needs to reach the target washing machine site before 13:05 and sends an unlocking instruction, the server side can be triggered to send a working instruction to the target washing machine, and the target washing machine enters a standby state.

Step 260: and if the difference between the moment of receiving the unlocking instruction and the target starting moment exceeds a preset range, canceling the reservation order.

In the embodiment of the application, if the user does not send the unlocking instruction within a period of time after the target starting moment, the reservation order of the user is cancelled, the state information of the target washing machine is modified to be in the idle state, and the target washing machine is prevented from being occupied inefficiently for a long time.

According to the method and the device, the target washing machine can be distributed for the user according to the user requirement, and the unlocking waiting time is set, so that the user can successfully unlock the shared washing machine within a period of time after the target starting moment, the user is not limited to unlocking the shared washing machine before the target starting moment, and good service experience is provided for the user.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a control method for a shared washing machine according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a server side, and as shown in fig. 3, the control method for a shared washing machine includes the following steps.

The steps 310-360 are the same as the steps 210-260, and are not described herein again.

Step 370: and acquiring the end time of the last washing program of the target washing machine.

Step 380: prompting a user to set a current washing program of the target washing machine according to the current remaining available time length of the target washing machine so as to enable the running time length of the current washing program to be less than or equal to the current remaining available time length;

and the current remaining available time length is the difference between the target end time and the end time of the last washing program of the target washing machine.

In the embodiment of the application, after the user successfully unlocks the target washing machine, the server side monitors the washing program set by the user. The washing program may be a one-time complete washing task, for example, the user washes the clothes twice, the first washing program washes a barrel of light-colored clothes, and the second washing program washes a barrel of dark-colored clothes. If the total washing program time length set by the user is longer than the target use time length (the difference between the target ending time and the target starting time), the target washing machine and/or the client can send out an alarm in an acousto-optic and electric mode to prompt the user to set the washing program only within the target use time length range. Specifically, after the user runs the last washing program, the server side judges whether the current remaining usable time is 0, that is, whether the target use time is used up. If yes, ending the reservation order, locking the target washing machine again, and waiting for reservation of the next user; if not, the user is supported to continue to set the current washing program, but the running time of the current washing program set by the user is required to be less than or equal to the current remaining available time, otherwise, the target washing machine and/or the client can send an alarm in an acousto-optic and electric mode to prompt the user to reset the current washing program.

The embodiment of the application prompts a user to set a proper washing program, ensures that the running time of the washing program actually used by the user does not exceed a target time period, gives a warm prompt to the current reservation user under the condition of not influencing the use of other subsequent reservation users, and improves the use experience of the user.

In an embodiment of the present application, the reservation order comprises a fee order.

In the embodiment of the application, in order to avoid the situation that the washing machine resources are wasted due to the fact that a user reserves the washing machine but does not use the washing machine, a cost order is generated in the target use time period of the server side, the function type of the target washing machine and the like, and the cost order is sent to the client side. The cost order can be pre-paid cost, and can be used for performing more-reduction and less-compensation subsequently according to the condition that the user actually uses the target washing machine, for example, a final cost bill is generated according to the actual use time length, the actually used washing program and the like, and the final cost bill and the cost order are compared to perform more-reduction and less-compensation on the user.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a control method for a shared washing machine according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to a server side, and as shown in fig. 4, the control method for the shared washing machine includes the following steps.

The steps 410-430 are the same as the steps 210-230, and are not described herein again.

Step 440: if the payment success information of the expense order is received within the preset time length after the expense order is sent, the reservation order takes effect.

In the embodiment of the application, if the user pays for the reservation order within the time limit, the requirement of the user is considered to be the real requirement, the target washing machine is occupied in the target use time period, and the state information is set to be in the reservation state.

Step 450: and if the payment success information of the expense order is not received in the preset time length after the expense order is sent, canceling the reservation order.

In the embodiment of the application, if the user does not pay for the reservation order within the time limit, the requirement of the user is considered to be a pseudo requirement, the reservation order of the user is cancelled, and the state of the target washing machine in the target use time period is set to be an idle state.

The steps 460-480 are the same as the steps 240-260, respectively, and are not described herein again.

In the embodiment of the application, the server side charges in advance before the user actually uses the target washing machine, so that the real washing requirement is screened out, and the washing machine is prevented from being occupied inefficiently and wasting resources.

In the embodiment of the application, the shared washing machine can be unlocked in a mode of unlocking the two-dimensional code or the digital code. Correspondingly, the reserved order comprises an unlocking two-dimensional code or a digital password, and the unlocking two-dimensional code or the digital password respectively corresponds to the reserved order one by one and serves as a certificate for the user to unlock the target washing machine.

When the shared washing machine is unlocked in the unlocking two-dimensional code mode, the reservation order includes the unlocking two-dimensional code, fig. 5 is a flowchart of receiving an unlocking instruction sent by the client according to the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, receiving the unlocking instruction sent by the client includes the following steps.

Step 510: and when the reservation order becomes the next order to be executed of the target washing machine, sending the unlocking two-dimensional code to the target washing machine so that the target washing machine displays the unlocking two-dimensional code.

Step 520: and receiving an unlocking instruction sent by the client, wherein the unlocking instruction comprises the scanning moment of the unlocking two-dimensional code and the identity information of the client.

Step 530: and performing identity verification on the client according to the unlocking instruction and the reservation order.

In the embodiment of the application, the server side generates the corresponding unlocking two-dimensional code for the reserved order, when the reserved order becomes the next order to be executed of the target washing machine, the target washing machine displays the unlocking two-dimensional code, and a user can scan the unlocking two-dimensional code through the client side and report the scanning time of the unlocking two-dimensional code and the identity information of the client side. The unlocking two-dimensional code is displayed on the target washing machine, so that a user can unlock the washing machine only on the site of the target washing machine, and only when the identity information of the client in the unlocking instruction corresponds to the identity information of the client in the reservation order, the client scanning the unlocking two-dimensional code passes the identity verification, namely, only the user who really makes a reservation for the target washing machine can use the target washing machine.

When the shared washing machine is unlocked in a digital password mode, the reservation order comprises a digital password, and the receiving of the unlocking instruction sent by the target washing machine comprises the following steps:

after the reservation order takes effect, sending a digital password to the client;

receiving an unlocking instruction sent by a target washing machine, wherein the unlocking instruction comprises password input time and a digital password;

and performing identity verification on the client according to the unlocking instruction and the reservation order.

In the embodiment of the application, a user checks that a server terminal distributes a digital password for a reserved order through a client terminal, then the digital password is input into a target washing machine, the target washing machine reports the time when the user inputs the digital password and the password input by the user to the server terminal, and the server terminal checks whether the password input by the user is consistent with the generated digital password, so that whether the user associated with the reserved order unlocks the target washing machine is verified.

Step 820: sending demand information to a server side according to the state information;

in the embodiment of the application, the user checks the state information of all the shared washing machines in a future period of time through the client, and then sends the requirement information to the server through the client based on the washing requirements of the user. The demand information may include a desired start time, a desired end time, i.e., a desired use period of the shared laundry machine set by the user. The requirement information can also comprise the function types of the washing machine, such as washing, drying and high-temperature disinfection, so that the follow-up server side can match the washing machine with the user and can reserve the washing machine. The demand information may further include a target washing machine, i.e., a washing machine that the user directly designates to use.

Step 830: and receiving a reservation order generated by the server according to the demand information.

In the embodiment of the application, the server side generates the reservation order according to the demand information of the user, and the client side receives the reservation order, so that the target use time period of the client side and the target sharing washing machine identification and other information are determined.

Step 840: and sending an unlocking instruction to the server side according to the reservation order.

In the embodiment of the application, when the shared washing machine adopts an unlocking mode of unlocking the two-dimensional code, after a user reaches a target washing machine, the unlocking two-dimensional code is scanned through the client, and an unlocking instruction is sent to the server.

Step 910: the target washing machine reservation function is turned on.

Step 920: the target washing machine display screen displays the time length from the next reservation order to be executed.

Step 930: the client receives the demand information and sends the demand information to the server;

step 940: and the server side generates and sends the first reservation order to the client side according to the demand information.

Step 950: if the payment success information of the first reservation order is received within the preset time length after the first reservation order is sent, the first reservation order takes effect; and if the payment success information of the first reservation order is not received in the preset time length after the first reservation order is sent, canceling the first reservation order.

Step 960: and when the first reservation order becomes the next reservation order to be executed of the target washing machine, the server side acquires the idle remaining time of the target washing machine.

Step 970: and the shared washing machine counts down to display the idle remaining time sent by the server side.

Step 980: and when the idle remaining time is 0, the target washing machine counts down according to the unlocking waiting time.

Step 990: and if the target washing machine is unlocked by the user on site before the countdown of the unlocking waiting time is 0, the server side unlocks the washing machine, and the target washing machine sequentially runs the washing programs set by the user within the remaining available time range until all the washing programs of the user are run.

Step 9100: if the user does not unlock the target washing machine on site before the countdown of the unlocking waiting time is 0, the server cancels the first reservation order and recalculates the reservable time of the target washing machine.

Step 9110: and when the remaining available time length is 0, locking the target washing machine by the server, recalculating the time length of the target washing machine from the next reservation order to be executed, and sending the recalculated time length to the target washing machine.
