[0041] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a first embodiment of an air conditioner control method. This control method includes:

[0042] Step S110, acquiring the body surface temperature TP0 when the user starts to sleep through the wearable device;

[0043] The wearable device may include a bracelet, a smart watch, and other devices worn on the human body and in contact with human skin. The embodiment of the present invention is preferably a bracelet. The wearable device is provided with a temperature sensor for collecting the body surface temperature of the wearable device. It can be understood that if the wearable device is worn, the wearable device detects and obtains the body surface temperature of the human body; if the wearable device is not worn, the wearable device detects and obtains the temperature of the surrounding environment.

[0044] In an example, the judgment of the user starting to fall asleep can be determined by the sleep mode o...

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method of an air conditioner. The control method comprises the steps of: obtaining a body surface temperature TP0 of an user beginning to sleep through wearable equipment; obtaining a body surface temperature TP1 of the user after sleeping through the wearable equipment by every preset time interval; obtaining a metabolic rate of the user at present according to the body surface temperature TP0 and the body surface temperature TP1; and adjusting a set temperature of the air conditioner according to the metabolic rate of the user at present. The invention further discloses the air conditioner. The control method adjusts the set temperature of the air conditioner based on the change of the metabolic rate when a human body sleeps, and can accurately determine a human body comfortable environment to satisfy the human body comfort requirement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioner and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance for people because they can adjust the temperature and humidity in the room. However, in actual use, different human bodies have different requirements for indoor temperature and humidity, especially during sleep. Therefore, along with the improvement of people's life, people begin to seek to provide comfortable sleep environment by air conditioner. The traditional air conditioner control value considers the influence of temperature and humidity on people. However, in the process of air-conditioning research, it was found that the impact parameters of the sleeping environment include other parameters, such as the human metabolic rate. Therefore, the traditional air conditioner cannot accurately match the comfortable environment require...
