[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 The air conditioning control method, device, electronic device, storage medium and product provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0043] The air conditioning control method provided in the embodiments of the present invention may be executed by an electronic device or software, a functional module, or a functional entity within the electronic device that is capable of implementing the air conditioning control method. In the embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device includes, but is not limited to, a cabinet air conditioner (hereinafter referred to as an air conditioner). It should be noted that the aforementioned execution entities do not constitute limitations on the present invention.

[0044] Figure 1 This is one of the flow charts of the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, including but not limited to the following steps:

[0045] First, in step S1, user location information and indoor environment modeling information are obtained.

[0046] The infrared sensor can be used to collect indoor sensing information, and the air conditioner can process the indoor sensing information to obtain the user's location information. The user location information is the user's current location.

[0047] The indoor environment modeling information is a three-dimensional model of the indoor environment, which can be input in advance by the user.

[0048] Furthermore, in step S2, the blowing angle of the air guide plate is determined according to the user position information and the environment modeling information.

[0049] Based on the environmental modeling information, multiple preset reflective surfaces can be determined indoors. These can be walls or cabinet surfaces located in appropriate locations to reflect the air from the air conditioner toward the user. These preset reflective surfaces can also be selected by the user during pre-configuration.

[0050] Direct air blowing will cause users to feel uncomfortable, but in the avoidance mode, it takes a certain amount of time to put users in a comfortable environment. The present invention can adopt an indirect blowing method.

[0051] Figure 2 is a top view of the air conditioning control scene provided by the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, since the incident angle is equal to the reflection angle, the blowing path corresponding to each preset reflecting surface is determined according to the user location information and the position of the air conditioner; the blowing path is the path that the wind blown out by the air conditioner is reflected by the preset reflecting surface and blown to the user's location.

[0052] To ensure effective ventilation, the shortest target air path is determined among all air paths. The air guide's angle is then determined based on this target air path. This solves the pain point of users experiencing direct airflow from air conditioners, ensuring that airflow reaches them without requiring them to wait for the entire room to cool down. Comfort is achieved instantly when the air conditioner is turned on.

[0053] The air conditioning control method provided by the present invention utilizes environmental modeling information to assist in blowing air, flexibly adjusts the blowing angle of the air conditioner, and thus effectively meets the user's demand for blowing air from the air conditioner.

[0054] Optionally, the user location information is determined by using the indoor sensing information when it is determined that there is a user in the room based on the indoor sensing information;

[0055] The indoor sensing information is collected by the sensor at a preset frequency.

[0056] The sensor may be an infrared sensor that collects indoor sensing information in real time at a preset frequency. The preset frequency can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

[0057] After the air conditioner obtains the indoor sensing information collected by the infrared sensor, it processes the indoor sensing information and calculates the user's location information when it is determined that there is a user in the room.

[0058] Optionally, determining the blowing angle of the air deflector according to the user position information and the environment modeling information includes:

[0059] Determining all preset reflective surfaces in the room according to the environmental modeling information;

[0060] Determining, based on the user location information, blowing paths corresponding to the preset reflective surfaces;

[0061] Determine the target blowing path with the shortest length among all blowing paths;

[0062] The blowing angle is determined according to the target blowing path.

[0063] Based on the environmental modeling information, multiple preset reflective surfaces can be determined indoors. These can be walls or cabinet surfaces located in appropriate locations to reflect the air from the air conditioner toward the user. These preset reflective surfaces can also be selected by the user during pre-configuration.

[0064] Direct air blowing will cause users to feel uncomfortable, but in the avoidance mode, it takes a certain amount of time to put users in a comfortable environment. The present invention can adopt an indirect blowing method.

[0065] Since the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, the blowing path corresponding to each preset reflecting surface is determined based on the user location information and the position of the air conditioner; the blowing path is the path that the wind blown out by the air conditioner is reflected by the preset reflecting surface and blown to the user's location.

[0066] To ensure effective ventilation, the shortest target air path is determined among all air paths. The air guide's angle is then determined based on this target air path. This solves the pain point of users experiencing direct airflow from air conditioners, ensuring that airflow reaches them without requiring them to wait for the entire room to cool down. Comfort is achieved instantly when the air conditioner is turned on.

[0067] According to the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention, environmental conditions are fully utilized to assist the air conditioner in indirectly blowing air to the user, and the blowing angle of the air conditioner is flexibly adjusted, thereby effectively meeting the user's demand for air conditioning blowing.

[0068] Optionally, determining the blowing path corresponding to each preset reflective surface according to the user location information includes:

[0069] Determining a reflection position on each preset reflection surface according to the user position information;

[0070] The blowing paths corresponding to the preset reflecting surfaces are determined according to the user position information and the reflection positions of the preset reflecting surfaces.

[0071] According to the user location information and the position of the air conditioner, a reflection position can be determined on each preset reflection surface. After the air outlet of the air conditioner is determined to blow towards each reflection position, it is reflected by each preset reflection surface and blown to the user's location. The direction of the blowing is the blowing path, and multiple blowing paths can be obtained.

[0072] Optionally, after determining the adjustment angle of the air deflector, the following operations are further performed according to the preset frequency:

[0073] Get new indoor sensing information;

[0074] When it is determined that a user is present indoors using the new indoor sensing information, new user location information is determined based on the new indoor sensing information;

[0075] A new blowing angle of the air guide plate is determined according to the environmental modeling information and the new user position information.

[0076] After determining the adjustment angle of the air deflector, new indoor sensing information is received and processed. When it is determined that there is a user indoors, new user location information of the user is calculated.

[0077] Based on the environmental modeling information, multiple preset reflective surfaces can be determined indoors. These can be walls or cabinet surfaces located in appropriate locations to reflect the air from the air conditioner toward the user. These preset reflective surfaces can also be selected by the user during pre-configuration.

[0078] Direct air blowing will cause users to feel uncomfortable, but in the avoidance mode, it takes a certain amount of time to put users in a comfortable environment. The present invention can adopt an indirect blowing method.

[0079] Since the incident angle is equal to the reflection angle, the new blowing path corresponding to each preset reflecting surface is determined according to the new user position information and the position of the air conditioner.

[0080] To ensure the blowing effect, a new target blowing path with the shortest length is determined among all new blowing paths; and then a new blowing angle of the air guide plate of the air conditioner is determined based on the new target blowing path.

[0081] According to the air-conditioning control method provided by the present invention, the user's position can be monitored in real time, and the air-conditioning wind direction can be flexibly adjusted to solve the pain point of the air-conditioning blowing directly on the user. The air-conditioning can blow to the user without directly blowing the user, and the user does not need to wait for the temperature of the entire room to drop. The user can feel comfortable as soon as the air-conditioning is turned on.

[0082] Figure 3 This is the second flow chart of the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0083] After the cabinet air conditioner (cabinet for short) is turned on, multiple designated walls can be determined as preset reflection surfaces, and then combined with the user position and the air conditioner position, the blowing path corresponding to each preset reflection surface can be obtained, and then the blowing angle of the air guide plate can be calculated according to the shortest blowing path, so that the wind can be blown indirectly to the user.

[0084] The air conditioning control device provided by the present invention is described below. The air conditioning control device described below and the air conditioning control method described above can be referenced to each other.

[0085] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioning control device provided by the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0086] Acquisition module 401, used to acquire user location information and indoor environment modeling information;

[0087] The determination module 402 is configured to determine the blowing angle of the air guide plate according to the user position information and the environment modeling information.

[0088] First, the acquisition module 401 acquires user location information and indoor environment modeling information.

[0089] The infrared sensor can be used to collect indoor sensing information, and the air conditioner can process the indoor sensing information to obtain the user's location information. The user location information is the user's current location.

[0090] The indoor environment modeling information is a three-dimensional model of the indoor environment, which can be input in advance by the user.

[0091] Furthermore, the determination module 402 determines the blowing angle of the air guide plate according to the user position information and the environment modeling information.

[0092] Based on the environmental modeling information, multiple preset reflective surfaces can be determined indoors. These can be walls or cabinet surfaces located in appropriate locations to reflect the air from the air conditioner toward the user. These preset reflective surfaces can also be selected by the user during pre-configuration.

[0093] Direct air blowing will cause users to feel uncomfortable, but in the avoidance mode, it takes a certain amount of time to put users in a comfortable environment. The present invention can adopt an indirect blowing method.

[0094] Since the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, the blowing path corresponding to each preset reflecting surface is determined based on the user location information and the position of the air conditioner; the blowing path is the path that the wind blown out by the air conditioner is reflected by the preset reflecting surface and blown to the user's location.

[0095] To ensure effective ventilation, the shortest target air path is determined among all air paths. The air guide's angle is then determined based on this target air path. This solves the pain point of users experiencing direct airflow from air conditioners, ensuring that airflow reaches them without requiring them to wait for the entire room to cool down. Comfort is achieved instantly when the air conditioner is turned on.

[0096] The air conditioning control method provided by the present invention utilizes environmental modeling information to assist in blowing air, flexibly adjusts the blowing angle of the air conditioner, and thus effectively meets the user's demand for blowing air from the air conditioner.

[0097] Optionally, the determining module is specifically configured to:

[0098] Determining all preset reflective surfaces in the room according to the environmental modeling information;

[0099] Determining, based on the user location information, blowing paths corresponding to the preset reflective surfaces;

[0100] Determine the target blowing path with the shortest length among all blowing paths;

[0101] The blowing angle is determined according to the target blowing path.

[0102] Based on the environmental modeling information, multiple preset reflective surfaces can be determined indoors. These can be walls or cabinet surfaces located in appropriate locations to reflect the air from the air conditioner toward the user. These preset reflective surfaces can also be selected by the user during pre-configuration.

[0103] Direct air blowing will cause users to feel uncomfortable, but in the avoidance mode, it takes a certain amount of time to put users in a comfortable environment. The present invention can adopt an indirect blowing method.

[0104] like Figure 2 As shown, since the incident angle is equal to the reflection angle, the blowing path corresponding to each preset reflecting surface is determined according to the user location information and the position of the air conditioner; the blowing path is the path that the wind blown out by the air conditioner is reflected by the preset reflecting surface and blown to the user's location.

[0105] To ensure effective ventilation, the shortest target air path is determined among all air paths. The air guide's angle is then determined based on this target air path. This solves the pain point of users experiencing direct airflow from air conditioners, ensuring that airflow reaches them without requiring them to wait for the entire room to cool down. Comfort is achieved instantly when the air conditioner is turned on.

[0106] The air conditioning control device provided by the present invention fully utilizes environmental conditions to assist the air conditioning in indirectly blowing air to the user, flexibly adjusts the air conditioning blowing angle, and thus effectively meets the user's demand for air conditioning blowing.
