[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 4 An air conditioner control method, device, air conditioner and storage medium of the present invention are described.

[0038] Figure 1 is one of the flow charts of the air conditioner control method provided by the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: step 110, step 120, step 130 and step 140.

[0039] Step 110, determining the user's emotion information based on the user's voice information;

[0040] Specifically, the voice information described in the embodiment of the present invention may include information such as the user's voice frequency, decibel value, speaking speed, and intonation.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, a voice recognition module may be provided in the air conditioner to collect the user's voice information through the voice recognition module. For example, the voice recognition module may be set to collect the user's voice information every 10 minutes or 30 minutes.

[0042] The emotional information described in the embodiment of the present invention may include human emotions such as happiness, peace, anger, rage, sadness, depression, etc.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the user's voice information, including the user's voice frequency, decibel value, speaking speed, intonation, etc., can be judged by the voice recognition module to determine the user's emotional information. For example, when the user's voice frequency is low, the decibel value is small, the speaking speed is slow, and the intonation is low, the user's emotion can be determined to be peaceful; when the user's voice frequency is high, the decibel value is high, the speaking speed is fast, and the intonation is high, the user's emotion can be determined to be happy or angry.

[0044] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, an emotion recognition system using AI technology may also be used, which may extract audio feature information from the user's voice information after receiving the user's voice information sent by the voice recognition module, and input the audio feature information into an existing trained emotion classification neural network model for classification and matching to obtain a model classification result, thereby determining the user's emotional information.

[0045] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the user's emotional information can also be obtained through face recognition technology. The recognition process can be executed on the controller of the air conditioner or outside the controller of the air conditioner. For example, the user's emotional information is recognized on a cloud server, and the recognized user emotional information is sent to the controller of the air conditioner. The controller can then determine the user's emotional information.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, the user's emotional information can also be determined by facial expression recognition methods such as a random forest algorithm, an expression feature dimensionality reduction method, or an expression classification method based on a support vector machine (SVM).

[0047] In another embodiment of the present invention, a wearable device for emotion recognition can also be used. By monitoring the user's physiological data, such as heart rate, electrocardiogram, skin electricity, etc., different classifiers are used to perform emotion recognition on the characteristic parameters of the user's physiological data to determine the user's emotional information. For example, in fear, the heart rate changes significantly faster than sadness and peace. There are significant differences in the high-frequency components of heart rate variability between happy, sad, disgusted and peaceful emotional states. Skin electricity is usually closely related to the degree of emotional activation, and is also an effective indicator for identifying basic emotions. Negative emotions such as depression and anxiety will significantly affect skin electricity.

[0048] Step 120, outputting first interaction information according to the user's emotion information;

[0049] Specifically, the first interaction information described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the suggestive interaction information outputted for the determined user emotion information, which may be in the form of interactive voice, text information or image information.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first interactive information is interactive voice, its output form may be in the form of voice broadcast, such as the content of the first interactive information may be broadcasted three times continuously;

[0051] When the first interactive information is text information or image information, the air conditioner can be interconnected with the user's electronic device through the Internet of Things technology, and the first interactive information can be sent to the electronic device used by the user, such as the text information or image information can be sent to the user's mobile phone or tablet computer. In order to serve as a reminder, the user's electronic device can also be triggered to vibrate or voice broadcast at the same time.

[0052] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the user's emotional information is sadness, the first interaction information may be a voice or text message used to soothe the user's sadness. For example, the first interaction information may specifically be: "You are feeling a little low now, do you want a warm hug?"; and when it is determined that the user's emotional information is anger, the first interaction information may be a voice or text message used to alleviate the user's anger. For example, the first interaction information may specifically be: "You are feeling a little out of control now, do you need to calm down?"

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, in the process of determining the user's emotional information, when it is determined through two or more consecutive detections that the user's emotional information has no obvious change, the first interaction information may not be output and the user will not be disturbed; and when it is determined that the user's emotional information has obvious changes, the first interaction information is output.

[0054] Step 130, receiving a first input from a user, where the first input is used to input first feedback information of the first interaction information;

[0055] Specifically, the first feedback information described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to feedback information input by the user in response to the first interaction information, which may represent that the user accepts the suggestion of the first interaction information.

[0056] The first input described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to an operation of inputting first feedback information.

[0057] The first input may be expressed in at least one of the following ways:

[0058] First, the first input may be a touch input, including but not limited to editing operations such as click input, slide input, and press input.

[0059] In this embodiment, receiving the user's first input can be expressed as receiving the user's first input in the display area of ​​the electronic device display screen, and then automatically sending the first input to the air conditioner. The controller of the air conditioner can receive the user's first input.

[0060] Secondly, the first input may be a physical key input.

[0061] In this embodiment, a physical button for quickly replying to the first interactive information is provided on the terminal body, and receiving the user's first input can be manifested as the electronic device receiving the first input of the user pressing the corresponding physical button, and then automatically sending the first input to the air conditioner. The controller of the air conditioner can receive the user's first input.

[0062] Third, the first input may be voice input.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the first interactive information is specifically "Your mood is a little out of control now, do you need to calm down", the first feedback information can be triggered by receiving the user's voice, such as "okay", "yes", "okay", "good", "OK" and other voices with affirmative semantics.

[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, the first input may also be in other forms, which may be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.

[0065] Step 140: In response to the first input, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to a second operating mode.

[0066] Specifically, the first operation mode described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the current operation mode of the air conditioner.

[0067] The second operation mode described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a preset operation mode corresponding to the first feedback information input by the user to the first interaction information.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the user's emotional information is sadness, the first interactive information output may be "You are feeling a little low right now, would you like a warm hug?" If the first feedback information input by the user is "Yes", then in response to the first input, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to a second operating mode for increasing the indoor temperature, for example, by increasing the set indoor temperature parameters to soothe the user's sad emotions.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the user's emotional information is anger, the first interactive information output may be "Your mood is a little out of control now, do you need to calm down?" If the first feedback information input by the user is "Yes", then in response to the first input, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to a second operating mode for lowering the indoor temperature, for example, lowering the set indoor temperature parameters to alleviate the user's anger.

[0070] The air conditioner control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention obtains the user's voice information and determines the user's emotional information based on the user's voice information; thereby outputting first interaction information according to the user's emotional information; through the user's first input, the first input is used to input first feedback information of the first interaction information, and the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the second operating mode. When the user has emotional fluctuations, the air conditioner can be controlled by actually considering the user's real needs, increasing emotional interaction with the user, adjusting the indoor air environment of the user, and increasing the user's comfort, thereby effectively alleviating the user's emotional fluctuations, reducing the adverse effects of the user's emotional fluctuations, and providing a good user experience.

[0071] Based on the content of the above embodiment, as an optional embodiment, in response to the first input, after adjusting the current first operating mode of the air conditioner to the second operating mode, the method further includes:

[0072] When the operation time of the air conditioner in the second operation mode exceeds the target time threshold, the air conditioner is adjusted from the second operation mode to the first operation mode.

[0073] Specifically, the target time threshold described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to a system default time threshold, or a user-set time threshold, which may specifically be 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or the like.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the second operating mode, when the operating time of the air conditioner in the second operating mode exceeds the target time threshold, such as 30 minutes, the air conditioner is adjusted from the second operating mode to the first operating mode. That is to say, when the operating time of the air conditioner in the second operating mode exceeds the target time threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to be adjusted to the first operating mode previously selected by the user.

[0075] It is understandable that after the user has emotional fluctuations, the indoor air environment can be changed and the user's comfort can be improved by running the air conditioner in the second operating mode. When the operating time of the air conditioner in the second operating mode exceeds the target time threshold, the user's emotions can be better alleviated. At this time, the user's various physiological characteristics can be restored to the level before the emotional fluctuations. Therefore, adjusting the air conditioner to the first operating mode at this time can give the user a better sense of comfort.

[0076] The method of the embodiment of the present invention takes into account the user's emotional fluctuations and physical characteristics. After the air conditioner operates in the second operating mode for more than the target time threshold, the indoor environment state is favorably adjusted, the user's emotional fluctuations are better alleviated, and the user's physiological characteristics are restored. By adjusting the air conditioner from the second operating mode back to the first operating mode previously selected by the user, it can be ensured that the user is still in a comfortable state after the emotion is alleviated, thereby ensuring the user's comfort and improving the user experience.

[0077] Based on the content of the above embodiment, as an optional embodiment, adjusting the current first operating mode of the air conditioner to the second operating mode includes:

[0078] When it is determined that the user's emotional information is the first emotional information, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the second operating mode; the target operating parameter of the air conditioner in the second operating mode is the first target threshold value, so that the current indoor temperature increases.

[0079] Specifically, the first emotion information described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to emotion information used to characterize the user's low mood, which may include sadness, depression, etc.

[0080] The target operating parameters described in the embodiment of the present invention refer to the operating parameters of the air conditioner used to adjust the current indoor temperature, which may specifically be the set temperature of the air conditioner, the air outlet speed of the indoor unit, the position of the air guide plate, etc.

[0081] The first target threshold value described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the parameter threshold value of the preset target operating parameter, which can be the parameter threshold value of the system default or the parameter threshold value customized by the user later, which can be used to increase the current indoor temperature. When the target operating parameter is the set temperature of the air conditioner, the first target threshold value can be obtained by adding the current set temperature of the air conditioner to the floating temperature threshold value, wherein the floating temperature threshold value can be 0.5°C, 1°C, 2°C, etc.; when the target operating parameter is the air outlet speed of the indoor unit, the first target threshold value can be the wind speed threshold value after reducing the wind speed gear on the basis of the current air outlet speed of the indoor unit, such as the wind speed after reducing one gear.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the user's emotional information is the first emotional information, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the second operating mode. The target operating parameter of the air conditioner in the second operating mode is the first target threshold value, and by adjusting the target operating parameter of the air conditioner to the first target threshold value, the current indoor temperature can be increased.

[0083] More specifically, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the user's emotional information is the first emotional information, such as depression, the first interactive information may be "You are feeling a little depressed now, do you want a warm hug?" Through the user's first input, the input first feedback information may be an affirmative voice such as "yes", and in response to the first input, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the second operating mode;

[0084] In the second operating mode, regardless of whether the air conditioner is in cooling or heating mode, the target operating parameters of the air conditioner can be adjusted to the first target threshold, that is, 0.5°C can be added to the current set temperature of the air conditioner, and the current indoor unit air outlet wind speed can be reduced by one level. At the same time, the sound source positioning module can be used to locate the user's position in the room, so as to adjust the air guide plate not to blow directly at the user, thereby adjusting the indoor ambient temperature and increasing the current indoor temperature appropriately, which helps to relieve the user's depression.

[0085] The method of the embodiment of the present invention, by determining that the user's emotional information is the first emotional information representing the user's low mood, adjusts the current first operating mode of the air conditioner to a pre-set second operating mode, adjusts the target operating parameters of the air conditioner to the first target threshold, controls the current indoor temperature to rise, helps to calm the user's physiological indicators under the first emotional information, alleviates the user's emotional fluctuations, and improves the user experience.

[0086] Based on the content of the above embodiment, as an optional embodiment, adjusting the current first operating mode of the air conditioner to the second operating mode includes:

[0087] When it is determined that the user's emotional information is the second emotional information, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the second operating mode; the target operating parameter of the air conditioner in the second operating mode is the second target threshold value, so as to reduce the current indoor temperature.

[0088] Specifically, the second emotion information described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to negative emotion information used to characterize the user's inner irritability, which may include anger, irritation, etc.

[0089] The second target threshold value described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the parameter threshold value of the preset target operating parameter, which can be the parameter threshold value of the system default or the parameter threshold value customized by the user later, which can be used to reduce the current indoor temperature. When the target operating parameter is the set temperature of the air conditioner, the second target threshold value can be obtained by subtracting the floating temperature threshold value from the current set temperature of the air conditioner, wherein the floating temperature threshold value can be 0.5°C, 1°C, 2°C, etc.; when the target operating parameter is the air outlet speed of the indoor unit, the second target threshold value can be the wind speed threshold value after adding the wind speed gear on the basis of the current air outlet speed of the indoor unit, such as the wind speed after adding one gear.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the user's emotional information is the second emotional information, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the second operating mode. The target operating parameter of the air conditioner in the second operating mode is the second target threshold value, and by adjusting the target operating parameter of the air conditioner to the second target threshold value, the current indoor temperature can be reduced.

[0091] More specifically, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the user's emotional information is the second emotional information, such as anger, the first interactive information may be "You are feeling a little out of control now, do you need to calm down?" Through the user's first input, the input first feedback information may be an affirmative voice such as "Yes", and in response to the first input, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the second operating mode;

[0092] At this time, in the second operating mode, no matter whether the air conditioner is in cooling or heating mode, the target operating parameters of the air conditioner can be adjusted to the second target threshold, that is, the current set temperature of the air conditioner can be reduced by 1°C, and the current indoor unit air outlet wind speed can be increased by one level. At the same time, the sound source positioning module can be used to locate the user's position, and then the air guide plate can be adjusted to blow directly to the user, so as to adjust the indoor ambient temperature and control the current indoor temperature to decrease appropriately, which helps to alleviate the user's anger and enable the user's emotions to be stabilized more quickly.

[0093] The method of the embodiment of the present invention, by determining that the user's emotional information is the second emotional information representing the user's inner irritability, adjusts the current first operating mode of the air conditioner to a pre-set second operating mode, adjusts the target operating parameters of the air conditioner to the second target threshold, controls the current indoor temperature to decrease, helps to calm the user's physiological indicators under the second emotional information, alleviates the user's emotional fluctuations, and improves the user experience.

[0094] Based on the content of the above embodiment, as an optional embodiment, after outputting the first interaction information according to the emotion information of the user, the method further includes:

[0095] receiving a second input from a user, where the second input is used to input second feedback information of the first interaction information;

[0096] In response to the second input, the current first operation mode of the air conditioner is maintained unchanged, and second interaction information is output.

[0097] Specifically, the second feedback information described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to feedback information input by the user in response to the first interaction information, which may indicate that the user does not accept the suggestion of the first interaction information.

[0098] For example, when the first interactive information is specifically "You are feeling a little out of control now, do you need to calm down?", the second feedback information may specifically be information with negative semantics such as "No", "Not needed", "Not good", "No", etc.

[0099] The second input described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to an operation of inputting second feedback information.

[0100] The second input may also be expressed as at least one of the three modes described for the first input, which will not be elaborated in the present invention.

[0101] The second interaction information described in the embodiment of the present invention refers to interaction information for the second input and output of the user, which may specifically be in the form of interactive voice, text information, or image information.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the second interaction information is an interactive voice, its output form may be a voice broadcast, such as the content of the second interaction information may be broadcasted three times in succession;

[0103] When the second interactive information is text information or image information, the air conditioner can also be interconnected with the user's electronic device through the Internet of Things technology, and the second interactive information can be sent to the user's electronic device, such as the user's mobile phone or tablet computer. In order to serve as a reminder, the user's electronic device can also be triggered to vibrate or voice broadcast at the same time.

[0104] Exemplarily, when it is determined that the user's emotional information is sadness, the second interaction information may be a voice or text message used to soothe the user's sadness. For example, the second interaction information may specifically be: "Happiness is not eternal, and neither is pain." When it is determined that the user's emotional information is anger, the second interaction information may be a voice or text message used to alleviate the user's anger. For example, the second interaction information may specifically be: "Look more at other people's strengths, and you will become more and more lovely."

[0105] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, after outputting the first interaction information based on the user's emotional information, the user's second input is received, and the second input can be used to determine whether the user rejects the air conditioner adjustment suggestion given in the first interaction information. In response to the second input, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner can be kept unchanged, and the second interaction information can be output to increase interaction with the user.

[0106] The method of the embodiment of the present invention takes the user's actual emotional feelings into consideration. After outputting the first interaction information based on the user's emotional information, it receives the user's second input to determine whether the user rejects the air conditioner adjustment suggestion given in the first interaction information. In response to the second input, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is kept unchanged and the second interaction information is output, thereby increasing interaction with the user and helping to improve the user's experience.

[0107] Based on the content of the above embodiment, as an optional embodiment, after outputting the first interaction information according to the emotion information of the user, the method further includes:

[0108] When no user input is received within the target time period, the current first operation mode of the air conditioner is maintained unchanged, and the second interaction information is output.

[0109] Specifically, the target time period described in the embodiment of the present invention may be a time period threshold value set by the system by default, or a time period threshold value set by the user later, which may be set to 30 seconds or 1 minute.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the first interaction information is output according to the user's emotional information, if no input from the user is received within the target time period, such as 30 seconds, it means that the user may have walked out of the room, or the user may be too depressed and does not want to reply or disturb. At this time, the current first operating mode of the air conditioner is maintained unchanged, the current indoor environment is not changed, and the second interaction information is output.

[0111] Exemplarily, in an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the user's emotional information is sad, the first interactive message may specifically be: "You are feeling a little low now, do you want a warm hug?"
