[0029] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0030] The term "correspondence" can refer to an association or binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association or binding relationship between A and B.

[0031] In this embodiment of the disclosure, a smart device refers to a smart product formed by introducing microprocessors, sensor technology, and network communication technology into home appliances. It has the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent sensing, and intelligent application. The operation of a smart device often relies on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, a smart device can be connected to an electronic device to enable users to remotely control and manage the smart device.

[0032] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the mobile device may include, for example, a mobile phone, a smart home device, a wearable device, a smart mobile device, a virtual reality device, or any combination thereof, wherein the wearable device includes, for example, a smartwatch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, etc.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; combined with Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, a method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, comprising:

[0034] S11, the air conditioner obtains the current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment in the gym.

[0035] S12, the air conditioner determines the target control scheme for the air conditioner in the fitness room based on the current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment.

[0036] S13, the air conditioning control executes the target control scheme.

[0037] In this solution, the air conditioner can obtain the current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment in the gym. The current time information can be any time of day, such as 3:00 PM. The fitness equipment in the gym can include equipment such as exercise bikes and treadmills. The operating status of the fitness equipment can be semi-open, open, or closed. A semi-open state means that some of the fitness equipment can be turned on, while others cannot. An open state means that all the fitness equipment in the gym can be turned on. A closed state means that all the fitness equipment in the gym cannot be turned on.

[0038] Understandably, the operating status of the fitness equipment in a gym varies depending on the time of day, and consequently, the fitness status of gym-goers also differs, requiring different fitness environments. Therefore, in this solution, after the air conditioner obtains the current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment, a more reasonable target control scheme for the gym's air conditioning can be determined based on this information. Furthermore, by controlling the air conditioner to execute this target control scheme, the environment in the gym can be adjusted more intelligently.

[0039] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure acquires current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment in the gym; determines a target control scheme for the air conditioner based on the current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment; and controls the air conditioner to execute the target control scheme. This scheme, by combining the acquired current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment, can determine a more reasonable target control scheme for the air conditioner in the gym, and, while controlling the air conditioner to execute the target control scheme, can more intelligently adjust the environment in the gym, allowing fitness enthusiasts to experience a more comfortable fitness environment.

[0040] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a target control scheme provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; combined with Figure 2 As shown, optionally, in step S12, the air conditioner determines the target control scheme for the air conditioner in the fitness room based on the current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment, including:

[0041] S21, when the current time information is within the first preset time period and the fitness equipment is in a semi-open state, the air conditioner obtains the number of users in the fitness room.

[0042] S22, the air conditioner determines its target control scheme based on the number of users in the gym.

[0043] In this scheme, the first preset time period can be 6:00-16:00. A semi-open state means that some fitness equipment in the gym can be turned on, while others cannot. Specifically, the air conditioner can acquire user count information within the gym during the first preset time period, when the fitness equipment is in a semi-open state. The air conditioner can acquire this user count information through its associated image sensor. This image sensor can be integrated into the air conditioner or be a separate device associated with it. The user count information can represent the number of users. Furthermore, after acquiring the user count information, the air conditioner can determine its target control scheme based on this information. This scheme allows for a more reasonable target control scheme for the gym's air conditioning system, taking into account the number of people in the gym.

[0044] Optionally, S22, the air conditioner determines its target control scheme based on the number of users in the gym, including:

[0045] If the number of users in the gym is the first, the air conditioner sets its temperature, humidity, and airflow speed to the first set. If the number of users in the gym is the second, the air conditioner sets its temperature, humidity, and airflow speed to the second set. If the number of users in the gym is the third, the air conditioner sets its temperature, humidity, and airflow speed to the third set. If the number of users in the gym is the fourth, the air conditioner sets its temperature, humidity, and airflow speed to the fourth set. If the number of users in the gym is the fifth, the air conditioner sets its temperature, humidity, and airflow speed to the fifth set.

[0046] In this scheme, the order is: first quantity < second quantity < third quantity < fourth quantity < fifth quantity; first temperature > second temperature > third temperature > fourth temperature > fifth temperature; first humidity > second humidity > third humidity > fourth humidity > fifth humidity; first wind speed > second wind speed > third wind speed > fourth wind speed > fifth wind speed. Specifically, if the number of users in the gym is the first quantity, the air conditioner can determine its set temperature as the first temperature, set humidity as the first humidity, and set the air outlet wind speed as the first wind speed. As an example, the first quantity can be an integer less than 5 and greater than 0, the first temperature can be 27℃, the first humidity can be 52%, and the first wind speed can be 5 m / s. If the number of users in the gym is the second quantity, the air conditioner can determine its set temperature as the second temperature, set humidity as the second humidity, and set the air outlet wind speed as the second wind speed. As an example, the second quantity can be an integer less than 11 and greater than 5, the second temperature can be 26℃, the second humidity can be 50%, and the second wind speed can be 4.5 m / s. If the number of users in the gym is a third number, the air conditioner will set its temperature, humidity, and airflow speed to a third set value. For example, the third number can be an integer less than 16 and greater than 10, the third temperature can be 25℃, the third humidity can be 48%, and the third airflow speed can be 4 m / s. If the number of users in the gym is a fourth number, the air conditioner will set its temperature, humidity, and airflow speed to a fourth set value. For example, the fourth number can be an integer less than 21 and greater than 15, the fourth temperature can be 24℃, the fourth humidity can be 46%, and the fourth airflow speed can be 3.5 m / s. If the number of users in the gym is a fifth number, the air conditioner will set its temperature, humidity, and airflow speed to a fifth set value. For example, the fifth number can be an integer less than 31 and greater than 20, the fifth temperature can be 23℃, the fifth humidity can be 44%, and the fifth airflow speed can be 3 m / s. This allows for a more precise determination of the target control scheme for the gym's air conditioning system by combining information on the number of users in the room. In one optimized scheme, if the gym's air conditioning system is a floor-standing unit with two air outlets (upper and lower), the target control scheme includes: controlling the air outlet guide plate of the upper outlet to be at a 45° angle to the ceiling, and controlling the lower outlet to blow air directly. This scheme promotes the circulation of air in the gym, allowing users to experience gentler, non-irritating, and fresher air.

[0047] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure embodiment; combined with Figure 3As shown, optionally, in step S22, the air conditioner determines its target control scheme based on the number of users in the gym room, including:

[0048] S31, the air conditioner compares the number of users in the gym with the preset number.

[0049] S32, if the number of users in the gym is not less than the preset number, control the air conditioner to turn on the ultraviolet sterilization module to eliminate bacteria in the gym environment.

[0050] In this solution, the air conditioner can be equipped with an ultraviolet (UV) sterilization module. This UV sterilization module can be an AeroShield (UV irradiation device), which works by irradiating the upper part of the room with UVC, forming a layer of UV light on the ceiling surface above 2.1m. This UV light circulates through natural convection, eliminating airborne bacteria and improving the air quality. Regarding safety, because it uses a louvered structure that only irradiates UV light horizontally, the human body is not directly exposed to UV light, making it safe. Specifically, the air conditioner can compare the number of users in the gym with a preset number. Here, the preset number can be 11 people. Furthermore, if the number of users in the gym is not less than 11, the air conditioner can be controlled to activate the UV sterilization module, thereby eliminating bacteria in the gym environment. In an optimized solution, if the air conditioner is also associated with a bacterial monitoring module, the activation duration of the UV sterilization module can be determined by combining the bacterial type information obtained from the bacterial monitoring module. As an example, if the bacterial type information is *E. coli*, the UV sterilization module will be activated for 20 minutes; if the bacterial type information is *Proteus*, the UV sterilization module will be activated for 30 minutes; if the bacterial type information is *Staphylococcus aureus*, the UV sterilization module will be activated for 40 minutes; if the bacterial type information is *Staphylococcus albus*, the UV sterilization module will be activated for 50 minutes; and if the bacterial type information is *Bacillus subtilis*, the UV sterilization module will be activated for 60 minutes. This solution, combined with the bacterial type information obtained from the bacterial monitoring module, allows for a more precise determination of the UV sterilization module's activation duration, thereby addressing bacterial growth issues in the gym promptly and reducing the adverse effects of bacteria on gym users.

[0051] Optionally, in step S12, the air conditioner determines a target control scheme for the indoor air conditioning based on current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment, including:

[0052] When the current time information is within the second preset time period and the fitness equipment is in the off state, the air conditioner determines that the target control scheme for the air conditioner in the fitness room is to run the ultraviolet sterilization module according to the preset sterilization strategy; wherein, the second preset time period is earlier than the first preset time period, and the preset sterilization strategy includes running the ultraviolet sterilization module periodically according to the preset duration.

[0053] In this solution, the second preset time period can be from 23:00 to 6:00. The "off" status of the fitness equipment means that all fitness equipment in the gym cannot be turned on. Specifically, the air conditioner can be equipped with an ultraviolet (UV) sterilization module. When the current time information falls within the second preset time period and the fitness equipment is off, the air conditioner determines that the target control scheme for the gym's air conditioning is to operate the UV sterilization module according to a preset sterilization strategy. Here, the preset sterilization strategy includes periodically operating the UV sterilization module according to a preset duration. As an example, the preset sterilization strategy could be to activate the UV sterilization module on average every 2 hours, with each activation lasting 10 minutes. This solution allows for thorough disinfection of bacteria in the gym by periodically operating the UV sterilization module during periods of low foot traffic and when the fitness equipment is unusable. In an optimized solution, the air conditioner can also be set to a temperature of 20℃~22℃ and a humidity of 45%~50%, while simultaneously activating the fresh air mode. This solution effectively prevents bacterial growth while ensuring the environmental quality of the gym.

[0054] Optionally, in step S12, the air conditioner determines a target control scheme for the indoor air conditioning based on current time information and the operating status of the fitness equipment, including:

[0055] When the current time information is within the third preset time period and the fitness equipment is in the open operating state, the air conditioner determines that the target control scheme for the air conditioner in the fitness room is to control the air conditioner to display the bacterial information in the environment on the fitness equipment used by the user while turning on the ultraviolet sterilization module.

[0056] In this scheme, the third preset time period can be 16:00-23:00. Understandably, this is the time period with the highest number of group classes and the largest flow of people in the gym, and the gym equipment is in an open state. Here, "open state" means that all gym equipment can be turned on. Thus, when the current time information falls within the third preset time period and the gym equipment is in an open state, the air conditioner's target control scheme is to control the air conditioner to activate the ultraviolet sterilization module while displaying environmental bacterial information to the gym equipment used by the user. Here, bacterial information can include the number and location of bacteria. This scheme allows gym users to be aware of the bacterial information in the environment during their workout. The air conditioner's target control scheme can also include setting the set temperature to 23℃, the set humidity to 45%, and the set airflow speed to 3.5m / s. This facilitates providing a more comfortable indoor environment for gym users. Optionally, if the exercise equipment used by the fitness enthusiast is a stationary bike and the exercise helmet worn by the fitness enthusiast detects a head wind speed greater than 1 m / s, the opening and closing angle of the air conditioner's air outlet deflector can be adjusted until the head wind speed detected by the exercise helmet is lower than 1 m / s. This solution reduces the head injury caused by strong winds blowing directly on the fitness enthusiast.

[0057] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure embodiment; combined with Figure 4 As shown, optionally, after controlling the air conditioner to execute the target control scheme, the following is also included:

[0058] S41: When a user enters the gym, the air conditioner obtains information about the user's current behavior.

[0059] S42, when the behavior information indicates that the user is about to use the fitness equipment, the air conditioner pushes the usage precautions for the fitness equipment to the display interface of the user's associated mobile device.

[0060] In this solution, when a user enters the gym, the air conditioner obtains the user's current behavior information through its associated image acquisition device. If the behavior information indicates that the user is about to use the fitness equipment, the air conditioner pushes the corresponding usage instructions for the fitness equipment to the display interface of the user's associated mobile device. These usage instructions can include pre-use preparation, in-use precautions, and post-use precautions. This solution helps the user better understand how to use the fitness equipment, ensuring a good user experience. In an optimized solution, if the fitness equipment is a stationary bike, the user's usage guidance information can also be pushed to the stationary bike's display screen. This guidance information refers to the cycling resistance and seat height suitable for the user's fitness level. This helps the user use the stationary bike more effectively and achieve better fitness results.
