    [0022] The specific aspects of the present disclosure, which have been illustrated by the accompanying drawings described above, will be described in detail below. These accompanying drawings and description are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any manner, but to explain the concept of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art via referencing specific aspects.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION



    [0023] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary aspects, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of illustrative aspects do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.

    [0024] The terminology in the present disclosure is for the purpose of describing specific aspects only and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. As used in the present disclosure and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "said" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It shall also be understood that the term "and/or" used herein are intended to signify and include any or all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

    [0025] It should be understood that, although terms first, second, third and the like may be used herein to describe various information, the information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one category of information from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, first information may also be called as second information, and similarly, second information may also be called as first information. This depends on a context. As used herein, the term "if' may be understood to mean "when" or "upon" or "in response to determining" depending on the context.

    [0026] An existing hair trimming apparatus may drive a cutting tool to rotate through a motor. For example, for a reciprocating shaver, a rotating speed of its motor is high and the motor rotating at a high speed may drive blades swinging leftwards and rightwards to easily and rapidly implement complete shaving.

    [0027] However, the inventor finds that a rotating speed of a hair trimming apparatus in a related art is relatively undiversified and may not meet a requirement of a user. In order to solve the problems existing in the related art, a method and device for controlling a hair trimming apparatus are provided.

    [0028] The technical solutions provided by the aspects of the present disclosure will be described below with specific examples.

    [0029] As illustrated in Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, according to an aspect of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 illustrates an application scenario of a method for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, according to an aspect of the present disclosure. The method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus may be applied to the hair trimming apparatus, for example, a shaver. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus may include the following steps 110-120.

    [0030] In Step 110, a hair characteristic parameter of hair to be trimmed is detected, wherein the hair characteristic parameter may represent a characteristic of the hair to be trimmed.

    [0031] In the aspect of the present disclosure, the characteristic of the hair to be trimmed may include, but not limited to: a hair density, and/or a hair thickness, and/or hair hardness and the like.

    [0032] In Step 120, a blade operating parameter of the hair trimming apparatus for trimming the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed.

    [0033] In the aspect of the present disclosure, the blade operating parameter includes, but not limited to: a blade rotating speed, and/or a blade rotating duration, and/or blade sharpness and the like.

    [0034] For example, when the hair density, the hair thickness or the hair hardness is higher, a higher blade rotating speed may be determined to improve hair trimming efficiency; and when the hair density, the hair thickness or the hair hardness is lower, a smaller blade rotating speed may be determined to save energy, reduce loss of the apparatus and the like.

    [0035] In Step 130, a blade of the hair trimming apparatus is controlled to operate according to the blade operating parameter to trim the hair to be trimmed.

    [0036] In the aspect, the hair trimming apparatus includes, but not limited to: a shaver, a haircutter, a pet shaver and the like. The hair trimming apparatus of the present disclosure may be applied to hair trimming of a person (a male, a female, an adult and a child), a pet or the like. For example, the hair trimming apparatus is a hair trimmer for a pet. Since the pet has fragile skin and hair on the back and the abdomen usually have different hardness, densities and the like, according to the present disclosure, proper blade operating parameters may be determined for hair characteristic parameters of hair at different parts.

    [0037] In an exemplary scenario, as illustrated in Fig. 2, a user and a shaver used as a hair trimming apparatus are included. When the shaver trims beards of the user, a hair characteristic parameter of the beards may be detected at first, then a blade operating parameter of the shaver is determined according to the detected hair characteristic parameter, and finally, a blade of the shaver is controlled to operate according to the determined blade operating parameter to trim the beards of the user.

    [0038] From the above example, it can be seen that: the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is detected, the blade operating parameter of the hair trimming apparatus for trimming the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed, the blade of the hair trimming apparatus is controlled to operate according to the determined blade operating parameter to trim the hair to be trimmed, and then the hair trimming apparatus may automatically adjust a proper blade operating parameter for operation according to the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed, so that hair trimming efficiency is improved, resource loss is also reduced, and the user's satisfaction is also improved.

    [0039] As illustrated in Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is a flow chart illustrating another method for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, according to an aspect of the present disclosure. The method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus may be applied to the hair trimming apparatus and is implemented on the basis of the method illustrated in Fig. 1. When Step 110 is executed, as illustrated in Fig. 3, the method includes the following Step 310 and/or Step 320.

    [0040] In Step 310, an image of the hair to be trimmed is captured through a camera to obtain a hair picture, and image analysis is performed on the obtained hair picture to obtain the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed.

    [0041] In the aspect of the present disclosure, the camera may be arranged on the hair trimming apparatus. When the hair is required to be trimmed, the hair picture may be captured through the camera, and then image analysis is performed on the hair picture, thereby determining at least one of the hair density, hair thickness or hair hardness of the hair to be trimmed.

    [0042] In Step 320, the hair to be trimmed is detected through a sensor to obtain sensing data, and the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the obtained sensing data.

    [0043] In the aspect of the present disclosure, the sensor may be arranged on the hair trimming apparatus. When the hair is required to be trimmed, the hair to be trimmed may be detected through the sensor to obtain the sensing data, and then at least one of the hair density, hair thickness or hair hardness of the hair to be trimmed are determined according to the obtained sensing data.

    [0044] The sensor arranged on the hair trimming apparatus may include, but not limited to, a density sensor, and/or a pressure sensor and the like. In the aspect, the density sensor may directly detect the hair density in the hair characteristic of the hair to be trimmed, and the pressure sensor may indirectly deduce the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed according to a sensed resistance value.

    [0045] From the exemplary aspect, it can be seen that: the hair to be trimmed may also be photographed through the camera to obtain the hair picture; image analysis is performed on the obtained hair picture to obtain the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed; and/or the hair to be trimmed is detected through the sensor to obtain the sensing data, and the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the obtained sensing data. Therefore, implementation modes for detecting the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed are enriched, and automatic detection efficiency of the hair trimming apparatus is further improved.

    [0046] As illustrated in Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is a flow chart illustrating another method for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, according to an aspect of the present disclosure. The method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus may be applied to the hair trimming apparatus and is implemented on the basis of the method illustrated in Fig. 3, wherein the sensor is a pressure sensor, and the sensing data is a resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor. When the operation that the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the sensing data in Step 320 is executed, the following Steps 410-420 may be included.

    [0047] In Step 410, a first preset correspondence between resistance values and hair characteristic parameters is acquired.

    [0048] In the aspect of the present disclosure, the first correspondence may be set in advance. After the hair trimming apparatus detects the hair to be trimmed through the pressure sensor to obtain the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor, the hair trimming apparatus may directly obtain the hair density, and/or hair thickness, and/or hair hardness and the like of the hair to be trimmed according to the first correspondence.

    [0049] In Step 420, the hair characteristic parameter corresponding to the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor is determined according to the first correspondence.

    [0050] From the exemplary aspect, it can be seen that the hair characteristic parameter corresponding to the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor may be directly determined according to the first preset correspondence between the resistance value and the hair characteristic parameter, so that automatic detection efficiency of the hair trimming apparatus is improved.

    [0051] As illustrated in Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is a flow chart illustrating another method for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, according to an aspect of the present disclosure. The method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus may be applied to the hair trimming apparatus and is implemented on the basis of the method illustrated in Fig. 3, wherein the sensor is a pressure sensor, and the sensing data is a resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor. When the operation that the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the sensing data in Step 320 is executed, the following Steps 510-520 may be included.

    [0052] In Step 510, it is determined whether the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor is larger (i.e., greater) than a first preset resistance threshold value, if YES, Step 520 is executed, and if NO, Step 530 is executed.

    [0053] In the aspect of the present disclosure, the first preset resistance threshold value may be set in advance and is configured to distinguish different hair characteristic parameters. Moreover, when the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor is larger than the first preset resistance threshold value, it is indicated that the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor is larger, and also indicated that the hair density, and/or hair thickness, and/or hair hardness and the like of the hair to be trimmed are also higher, and the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is defined as a first characteristic parameter.

    [0054] In Step 520, the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined to be the first characteristic parameter.

    [0055] In Step 530, it is determined whether the resistance value is smaller (i.e., less) than a second preset resistance threshold value, and the second preset resistance threshold value is smaller than the first preset resistance threshold value. If YES, Step 540 is executed, and if NO, Step 550 is executed.

    [0056] In the aspect of the present disclosure, the second preset resistance threshold value may be set in advance and is configured to distinguish different hair characteristic parameters. Moreover, when the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor is smaller than the second preset resistance threshold value, it is indicated that the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor is smaller, and also indicated that the hair density, and/or hair thickness, and/or hair hardness and the like of the hair to be trimmed are also smaller, and the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is defined as a second characteristic parameter. When the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor is between the first preset resistance threshold value and the second preset resistance threshold value, the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed may be defined as a third characteristic parameter.

    [0057] In Step 540, the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined to be the second characteristic parameter.

    [0058] In Step 550, the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined to be the third characteristic parameter.

    [0059] From the exemplary aspect, it can be seen that the resistance value sensed by the pressure sensor is compared with the first preset resistance threshold value and the second preset resistance threshold value, and different characteristic parameters are determined according to different comparison results, so that the automatic detection efficiency of the hair trimming apparatus is improved.

    [0060] As illustrated in Fig. 6, Fig. 6 is a flow chart illustrating another method for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, according to an aspect of the present disclosure. The method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus may be applied to the hair trimming apparatus and is implemented on the basis of the methods illustrated in Fig. 1 to Fig. 5. When Step 120 is executed, as illustrated in Fig. 6, the method may include the following Steps 610-620.

    [0061] In Step 610, a second preset correspondence between hair characteristic parameters and blade operating parameters is acquired.

    [0062] In the aspect of the present disclosure, the second correspondence may be set in advance. After the hair trimming apparatus detects the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed, the blade rotating speed, and/or the blade rotating duration, and/or the blade sharpness and the like may be directly obtained according to the second correspondence.

    [0063] In Step 620, the blade operating parameter corresponding to the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the second correspondence.

    [0064] From the exemplary aspect, it can be seen that the second preset correspondence between the hair characteristic parameter and the blade operating parameter may be acquired and the blade operating parameter corresponding to the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the second correspondence, so that infinite adjustment of the hair trimming apparatus is implemented, different requirements of the user are met, and the user's satisfaction is improved.

    [0065] Fig. 7 is a flow chart illustrating another method for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, according to an aspect of the present disclosure. The method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus may be applied to the hair trimming apparatus and is implemented on the basis of the methods illustrated in Fig. 1 to Fig. 5. When Step 120 is executed, as illustrated in Fig. 7, the method may include the following Steps 710-720.

    [0066] In Step 710, a third preset correspondence between hair characteristic parameters and blade operating modes is acquired, wherein different blade operating modes correspond to different blade operating parameters, and the hair trimming apparatus includes at least two blade operating modes.

    [0067] In the aspect of the present disclosure, the blade operating parameter may include, but not limited to, the blade rotating speed, and/or the blade rotating duration, and/or the blade sharpness and the like.

    [0068] For example, the hair trimming apparatus has multiple types of blades. Since the blades are excessively sharp and may easily hurt skin of a user, for example, when the hair hardness is not so high, a blade with low sharpness may be preferably selected.

    [0069] In addition, a blade rotating mode may involve multiple blade operating parameters. For example, in one mode, a rotating speed is high but the blade is not so sharp (it may be a high/medium/low-rotating speed mode).

    [0070] In Step 720, a blade operating parameter corresponding to the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the third correspondence.

    [0071] From the exemplary aspect, it can be seen that the third preset correspondence between the hair characteristic parameter and the blade operating mode is acquired and the blade operating parameter corresponding to the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the third correspondence, so that gear shifting adjustment of the hair trimming apparatus is implemented, different requirements of the user are met, and the user's satisfaction is improved.

    [0072] Correspondingly to the aspects of the method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus, the present disclosure further provides an aspect of a device for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, which is configured to execute the method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus mentioned above.

    [0073] As illustrated in Fig. 8, Fig. 8 is a block diagram of a device for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, according to an aspect of the present disclosure. The device may be applied to the hair trimming apparatus, and is configured to execute a method for controlling the hair trimming apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1. The device may include a detection module 81, a parameter determination module 82 and a control module 83.

    [0074] The detection module 81 may be configured to detect a hair characteristic parameter of hair to be trimmed, wherein the hair characteristic parameter is configured to represent a characteristic of the hair to be trimmed.

    [0075] The parameter determination module 82 may be configured to determine a blade operating parameter of the hair trimming apparatus for trimming the hair to be trimmed according to the hair characteristic parameter.

    [0076] The control module 83 may be configured to control a blade of the hair trimming apparatus to operate according to the blade operating parameter to trim the hair to be trimmed.

    [0077] From the exemplary aspect, it can be seen that: the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed is detected, the blade operating parameter of the hair trimming apparatus for trimming the hair to be trimmed is determined according to the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed, the blade of the hair trimming apparatus is controlled to operate according to the determined blade operating parameter to trim the hair to be trimmed, and then the hair trimming apparatus may automatically adjust a proper blade operating parameter for operation according to the hair characteristic parameter of the hair to be trimmed, so that hair trimming efficiency is improved, resource loss is also reduced, and satisfaction of a user is also improved.

    [0078] As illustrated in Fig. 9, Fig. 9 is a block diagram of another device for controlling a hair trimming apparatus, according to an aspect of the present disclosure. The device may be applied to the hair trimming apparatus and is implemented on the basis of the device illustrated in Fig. 8. The detection module 81 may include at least one of a first detection submodule 91 or a second detection submodule 92.
