[0002] Currently, when customers buy air conditioners in stores, they can only listen to the sales staff introduce the advantages and disadvantages, and cannot experience the scene of the air conditioner being installed in the room, which affects the customer's purchasing experience.

[0003] This technology discloses a VR (Virtual Reality)-based scenario-based air conditioning operation experience system, including an experience room that simulates air conditioning operation scenarios based on user-set parameters, allowing users to experience different air conditioning operation scenarios. An operating device, using a joystick and buttons, simulates the user's position movement within the virtual scene, and allows parameter settings to be made within the VR device. The VR device establishes a virtual space and a spatial coordinate system, allowing the user to move within the virtual space from a first-person perspective, enabling real-time changes in the user's relative position to the air conditioner. A parameter menu is displayed for users to set parameters via the operating device. A data processing device collects, processes, and calculates various parameters to control the operating state of the environmental control equipment. The environmental control equipment adjusts the environment based on the environmental parameters provided by the data processing device, ensuring that the environmental parameters around the user reach the calculated parameters. The operating device, VR device, and environmental control equipment are set up within the experience room. This experience system can simulate the actual operating environment of the air conditioner, providing users with a scenario-based experience.

[0042] Optionally, the air conditioner demonstration device also includes a parameter sensor module 107. The parameter sensor module 107 is installed between the ceiling and the floor of the demonstration room and is used to detect the temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, fragrance concentration, and noise level of the demonstration room.

[0043] Optionally, the VR module includes VR glasses that can be worn by the user and a VR controller that can be held by the user. The VR glasses are equipped with a VR interface 201 that displays the VR experience room. Specifically, the VR experience room is equipped with a VR air conditioner 202 and a parameter distribution cloud map 203, which is used to display the temperature distribution, humidity distribution, fragrance parameters, and noise parameters of the VR experience room. More specifically, the parameter distribution cloud map 203 is positioned to the right of the VR interface 203, covering the VR experience room, and its transparency is 40% lower than that of the VR experience room, allowing for controlled adjustment of clarity and zoom setting.

[0044] Optionally, the experience room can be 4m long, 3m wide, and 3m high.

[0045] The air conditioner demonstration device provided in this embodiment allows for the demonstration of multiple different air conditioner models by utilizing the temperature control module, humidity control module, noise control module, fan module, and fragrance module moving along a slide rail. This single device, installed only in a test room, reduces the workload of air conditioner installation. Furthermore, it facilitates simulating the physical sensations of air conditioners installed in different rooms, thereby enhancing the user's purchasing experience.

[0046] Combination Figure 3 As shown, this disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner demonstration device, including:

[0047] S301, the air conditioner demonstration device determines the scene of the VR experience room based on the VR identity of the user in the experience room.

[0048] S302, the air conditioner demonstration device sets indoor environmental parameters according to the scene, VR identity, and target of the VR experience room, and controls the temperature control module, humidity control module, noise control module, fan module, and fragrance module to run along the slide rail so that the user's physical experience is the same as that of the VR identity.

[0049] The method for controlling an air conditioner demonstration device provided in this disclosure sets indoor environmental parameters based on the VR experience room scene, VR identity, and target. It controls the operation of temperature control, humidity control, noise control, fan module, and fragrance module along a slide rail to ensure the user's physical sensations are identical to those of the VR user. This allows the buyer, acting as a substitute for a specific target group sensitive to environmental conditions, to virtually experience the physical sensations of an air conditioner installed in an actual room, thereby enhancing the user's purchasing experience.

[0050] Optionally, VR identities can include any of the following: dancer, kindergarten child, pregnant woman, fitness enthusiast, or rheumatism patient. This allows buyers to virtually experience the physical sensations of an air conditioner installed in an actual room, thus enhancing the user's purchasing experience, by representing various different target groups with specific environmental sensitivities.

[0051] Optionally, the VR experience room scenarios may include any of the following: dancers practicing in a dance studio; children playing indoors; a pregnant woman sitting on a sofa in the living room; fitness enthusiasts exercising in a gym; or a person with rheumatism in a room during the rainy season or a change of seasons. This allows potential buyers to virtually experience the physical sensations of an air conditioner installed in a real room, rather than targeting specific groups sensitive to environmental sensitivities, thus enhancing the user's purchasing experience.

[0052] Optionally, the air conditioner demonstration device determines the VR experience room scene based on the user's VR identity in the experience room. For example: if the user's VR identity is a dancer, the air conditioner demonstration device determines the VR experience room scene to be a dancer practicing in a dance studio. If the user's VR identity is a kindergarten child, the air conditioner demonstration device determines the VR experience room scene to be a child playing indoors. If the user's VR identity is a pregnant woman, the air conditioner demonstration device determines the VR experience room scene to be a pregnant woman sitting on a sofa in the living room. If the user's VR identity is a fitness enthusiast, the air conditioner demonstration device determines the VR experience room scene to be a fitness enthusiast exercising in a gym. If the user's VR identity is a rheumatism patient, the air conditioner demonstration device determines the VR experience room scene to be a rheumatism patient in a room during the rainy season or seasonal changes. This allows buyers to virtually experience the physical sensations of the air conditioner installed in different scenarios in a real room, representing various target groups with specific environmental sensitivities, thereby improving the user's purchasing experience.

[0053] Optionally, the air conditioner demonstration device sets indoor environmental parameters based on the VR experience room scene, VR identity, and target, and controls the operation of the temperature control module, humidity control module, noise control module, fan module, and fragrance module along the slide rail. Specifically: when the VR identity is a dancer, the VR experience room scene is a dancer practicing in a dance studio, and the target indoor environmental parameters are set to the first actual environmental parameters, the air conditioner demonstration device controls the operation of the temperature control module, humidity control module, noise control module, fan module, and fragrance module along the slide rail, so that the demonstration operation parameters of the air conditioner demonstration device are the first demonstration operation parameters. When the VR identity is a child in kindergarten, the VR experience room scene is a child playing indoors, and the target indoor environmental parameters are set to the second actual environmental parameters, the air conditioner demonstration device controls the operation of the temperature control module, humidity control module, noise control module, fan module, and fragrance module along the slide rail, so that the demonstration operation parameters of the air conditioner demonstration device are the second demonstration operation parameters. When the VR identity is a pregnant woman, the VR experience room scenario is a pregnant woman sitting on a sofa in the living room, and the target indoor environmental parameter is set as the third actual environmental parameter, the air conditioner demonstration device controls the temperature control module, humidity control module, noise control module, fan module, and fragrance module to move along the slide rail, so that the demonstration operation parameter of the air conditioner demonstration device is the third demonstration operation parameter. When the VR identity is a fitness enthusiast, the VR experience room scenario is a fitness enthusiast exercising in a gym, and the target indoor environmental parameter is set as the fourth actual environmental parameter, the air conditioner demonstration device controls the temperature control module, humidity control module, noise control module, fan module, and fragrance module to move along the slide rail, so that the demonstration operation parameter of the air conditioner demonstration device is the fourth demonstration operation parameter. When the VR identity is a rheumatism patient, the VR experience room scenario is a rheumatism patient in a room during the rainy season or seasonal change, and the target indoor environmental parameter is set as the fifth actual environmental parameter, the air conditioner demonstration device controls the temperature control module, humidity control module, noise control module, fan module, and fragrance module to move along the slide rail, so that the demonstration operation parameter of the air conditioner demonstration device is the fifth demonstration operation parameter. This allows for the setting of indoor environmental parameters based on different VR experience room scenarios, VR identities, and targets. It also enables the control of temperature, humidity, noise, fan, and fragrance modules along the sliding rails, ensuring that the user's physical experience mirrors that of their VR identity. This facilitates virtual experiences of air conditioners in various scenarios within real rooms for different environmentally sensitive target groups, thereby enhancing the user's purchasing experience.

[0054] Optionally, before the air conditioner demonstration device sets indoor environmental parameters based on the VR experience room scene, VR identity, and target, and controls the temperature control module, humidity control module, noise control module, fan module, and fragrance module to run along the slide rail, it also includes: the air conditioner demonstration device determining the demonstration operation parameters of the air conditioner demonstration device, using the formula S1 / S2 = P1 / P2. Where S1 is the area of ​​the VR experience room, S2 is the area of ​​the actual experience room where the air conditioner demonstration device is located, P1 is the target-set indoor environmental parameters, and P2 is the demonstration operation parameters or actual environmental parameters of the air conditioner demonstration device. This facilitates a better virtual experience of the air conditioner's physical sensations under different scenarios in an actual room, allowing users to feel as if they are actually there, thereby improving the user's purchasing experience.

This helps to better determine the start time of the experience, making the scene experienced by the user more realistic.

[0056] Optionally, before determining the scene of the VR experience room based on the user's VR identity in the experience room, the air conditioner demonstration device also includes receiving the user's VR identity sent by the VR module. This helps to better determine the user's VR identity, thereby facilitating a better virtual experience of the air conditioner's tactile sensations in different scenarios within an actual room, making the user feel as if they are actually there, and ultimately improving the user's purchasing experience.

[0057] Optionally, before determining the scene of the VR experience room based on the user's VR identity in the experience room, the air conditioner demonstration device also includes receiving target-setting indoor environmental parameters sent by the VR module. This helps to better determine the target-setting indoor environmental parameters, thereby facilitating a better virtual experience of the air conditioner's physical sensations under different scenarios in an actual room, making the user feel as if they are actually there, and ultimately improving the user's purchasing experience.

[0058] Optionally, the target indoor environmental parameters include: target temperature, target humidity, target wind speed, target wind direction, target fragrance concentration, and target noise level.

The fifth target set of indoor environmental parameters includes: fifth target set temperature, fifth target set humidity, fifth target set wind speed, fifth target set wind direction, fifth target set fragrance concentration, and fifth target set noise level. This helps to better determine the target set indoor environmental parameters for different users.

[0059] Optionally, the demonstration operation parameters include: demonstration operation temperature, demonstration operation humidity, demonstration operation wind speed, demonstration operation wind direction, demonstration operation fragrance concentration, and demonstration operation noise intensity. The first demonstration operation parameters include: first demonstration operation temperature, first demonstration operation humidity, first demonstration operation wind speed, first demonstration operation wind direction, first demonstration operation fragrance concentration, and first demonstration operation noise intensity.
