[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0036] As the background technology indicates, users may face risks of electric shock and burns when using induction cookers, especially younger users such as elementary school students. To avoid these risks, there is an urgent need for a method that can monitor and control the operating status of the induction cooker.

[0037] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide an induction cooker control method and an air conditioner controller. The air conditioner controller monitors whether the induction cooker is leaking electricity and whether the user of the induction cooker is being burned. When the induction cooker is leaking electricity or the user is being burned, the air conditioner controller can cut off the power supply to the induction cooker to avoid the risk of electric shock and burns from using the induction cooker.

[0038] See Figure 1 This invention illustrates an induction cooker control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This method is applicable to an air conditioner controller installed in a target air conditioner, where the target air conditioner and the induction cooker are located in the same spatial area (such as a kitchen area). The induction cooker control method includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S101: When the induction cooker is detected to be turned on, the circuit control module of the induction cooker is called to obtain the circuit operation information of the induction cooker.

[0040] It should be noted that the target air conditioner's controller and the induction cooker exchange data (or communicate) through a wireless communication module.

[0041] In the specific implementation of step S101, when the induction cooker is turned on, the circuit control module of the induction cooker sends the start information to the air conditioner controller through the wireless communication module; after receiving the start information, the air conditioner controller determines that the induction cooker is turned on.

[0042] After detecting that the induction cooker is turned on, the air conditioner controller obtains the circuit operation information of the induction cooker by calling the circuit control module of the induction cooker. Specifically, the circuit control module of the induction cooker obtains the circuit operation information of the induction cooker and sends the obtained circuit operation information to the air conditioner controller through the wireless communication module. The air conditioner controller can monitor the circuit operation status of the induction cooker based on the circuit operation information.

[0043] Step S102: Locate the target user using the induction cooker and call the infrared module on the target air conditioner to scan the surface temperature of various parts of the target user's body.

[0044] In the specific implementation step S102, after the air conditioner controller detects that the induction cooker is turned on, the air conditioner controller calls the specific detection device of the target air conditioner to scan the space area where the induction cooker is located in order to locate the target user using the induction cooker.

[0045] In some embodiments, the specific detection device may be a device capable of locating a user, such as millimeter-wave radar or a camera. For example, after detecting that an induction cooker is turned on, the air conditioner controller calls the millimeter-wave radar of the target air conditioner to scan the kitchen area in order to locate the target user who is using the induction cooker.

[0046] After locating the target user, the air conditioner controller calls the infrared module on the target air conditioner to scan the surface temperature of various parts of the target user's body. In other words, the infrared module on the target air conditioner scans the surface temperature of the target user's entire body.

[0047] Step S103: If the circuit operation information contains a leakage signal, send a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker.

[0048] In some embodiments, the circuit operation information includes signals that characterize the operating status of the induction cooker. When the induction cooker experiences a leakage current, the circuit operation information includes a corresponding leakage current signal.

[0049] In the specific implementation of step S104, if the circuit operation information contains a leakage signal, that is, if the induction cooker is leaking electricity, the air conditioner controller sends a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker; specifically, the air conditioner controller sends a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker through the wireless communication module, and the circuit control module responds to the power cut-off command to disconnect the power supply to the induction cooker, thereby avoiding the risk of electric shock.

[0050] In some embodiments, if the circuit operation information includes a leakage signal, the air conditioner controller calls the target air conditioner's display screen and / or speaker to output a leakage warning message to prompt the user to repair the induction cooker. For example, if the circuit operation information includes a leakage signal, the air conditioner controller calls the target air conditioner's display screen to display the leakage warning message "Induction cooker is experiencing a leakage problem," and calls the target air conditioner's speaker to play the leakage warning message "Induction cooker is experiencing a leakage problem."

[0051] In some embodiments, if the circuit operation information contains a leakage signal, the air conditioner controller calls the wireless communication module of the target air conditioner to send a leakage warning message to a specific object, which may be a mobile terminal pre-bound to the target air conditioner.

[0052] It should be noted that if the circuit operation information includes a leakage signal, the aforementioned processing steps such as cutting off the power supply to the induction cooker, outputting leakage warning information, and sending leakage warning information can be performed simultaneously, or the power supply to the induction cooker can be cut off first, followed by outputting and sending leakage warning information. The specific order of execution of the aforementioned processing steps is not limited here.

[0053] Step S104: If the surface temperature of any part of the human body is greater than the temperature threshold, output a safety warning message, or send a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker.

[0054] In the specific implementation step S104, after the air conditioner controller obtains the surface temperature of each part of the target user's body, it compares the surface temperature of each part of the target user's body with a temperature threshold. When the surface temperature of any part of the target user's body exceeds the temperature threshold, the air conditioner controller outputs a safety warning message, or the air conditioner controller sends a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker.

[0055] In some embodiments, if the surface temperature of any part of the target user's body (equivalent to the surface temperature of a local area of ​​the body) is greater than a first temperature threshold and less than or equal to a second temperature threshold, indicating that the target user is at risk of being burned, the air conditioning controller will invoke the target air conditioner's display screen and / or speaker to output a safety warning message. For example, when the surface temperature of any part of the target user's body is greater than 40°C and less than or equal to 50°C, the air conditioning controller will invoke the target air conditioner's display screen and / or speaker to output a safety warning message: "There is a risk of burns, please be careful."

[0056] In other embodiments, if the surface temperature of any part of the target user's body exceeds a second temperature threshold, indicating that the target user has been burned, the air conditioner controller sends a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker. For example, when the surface temperature of any part of the target user's body exceeds 50°C, the air conditioner controller sends a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker.

[0057] In some embodiments, if the surface temperature of any part of the target user's body exceeds a second temperature threshold, the air conditioning controller invokes the target air conditioner's display screen and / or speaker to output a burn warning message to alert the target user that they have been burned. For example, when the surface temperature of any part of the target user's body exceeds 50°C, the air conditioning controller invokes the target air conditioner's display screen and / or speaker to output a burn warning message: "You have been burned, please seek medical attention immediately."

[0058] It should be noted that if the surface temperature of any part of the target user is greater than the second temperature threshold, the aforementioned steps of cutting off the power supply to the induction cooker and outputting the burn warning message can be performed simultaneously, or the power supply to the induction cooker can be cut off first and then the burn warning message can be output. The specific order of execution of the aforementioned steps is not limited here.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the air conditioner controller monitors whether the induction cooker is leaking electricity and whether the user of the induction cooker is being burned. If the induction cooker is leaking electricity or the user is being burned, the air conditioner controller can cut off the power supply to the induction cooker to avoid the risk of electric shock and burns from using the induction cooker.

[0060] Through the above embodiments of the present invention Figure 1 As can be seen from the content, the air conditioner controller can detect whether the induction cooker is leaking electricity, and it can also detect whether the user of the induction cooker will be burned; the following are examples of how... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The flowchart shown illustrates, for example, how to monitor whether an induction cooker is leaking electricity and whether the user of the induction cooker is burned.

[0061] Please see Figure 2 The flowchart for monitoring whether an induction cooker is leaking electricity, provided by an embodiment of the present invention, includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S201: The air conditioner controller obtains the circuit operation information of the induction cooker sent by the circuit control module of the induction cooker.

[0063] In the specific implementation step S201, after the induction cooker is turned on, the circuit control module of the induction cooker performs leakage current detection to obtain the circuit operation information of the induction cooker; the circuit control module of the induction cooker sends the circuit operation information to the air conditioner controller.

[0064] Step S202: If the air conditioner controller determines that the circuit operation information contains a leakage signal, the air conditioner controller sends a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker.

[0065] Step S203: The air conditioner controller calls the target air conditioner's display screen and / or speaker to output leakage warning information.

[0066] Through steps S201 to S203, the air conditioner controller can monitor whether the induction cooker is leaking electricity. When the induction cooker is leaking electricity, the air conditioner controller can cut off the power supply to the induction cooker to avoid the risk of electric shock from using the induction cooker.

[0067] Please see Figure 3 The flowchart for monitoring whether a user of an induction cooker is burned, provided by an embodiment of the present invention, includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S301: The air conditioner controller locates the target user using the induction cooker and calls the infrared module on the target air conditioner to scan the surface temperature of various parts of the target user's body.

[0069] Step S302: If the surface temperature of any part of the human body is greater than 40°C and less than or equal to 50°C, the air conditioner controller calls the target air conditioner's display screen and / or speaker to output a safety warning message.

[0070] Step S303: If the surface temperature of any part of the human body is greater than 50°C, the air conditioner controller sends a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker.

[0071] Through steps S301 to S303, the air conditioner controller can monitor whether the user of the induction cooker is burned. If the user of the induction cooker is burned, the air conditioner controller can cut off the power supply to the induction cooker to avoid the risk of burns caused by using the induction cooker.

[0073] The monitoring unit 401 is used to detect when the induction cooker is turned on and call the circuit control module of the induction cooker to obtain the circuit operation information of the induction cooker.

[0074] The scanning unit 402 is used to locate the target user using the induction cooker and call the infrared module on the target air conditioner to scan the surface temperature of various parts of the target user's body.

[0075] In a specific implementation, the scanning unit 402 used to locate the target user using the induction cooker is specifically used to: call a specific detection device of the target air conditioner to scan the spatial area where the induction cooker is located, so as to locate the target user using the induction cooker.

[0076] The first processing unit 403 is used to send a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker if the circuit operation information contains a leakage signal.

[0077] Preferably, the first processing unit 403 is further configured to: if the circuit operation information contains a leakage signal, invoke the display screen and / or speaker of the target air conditioner to output leakage warning information.

[0078] The second processing unit 404 is used to output a safety warning message if the surface temperature of any part of the human body is greater than a temperature threshold, or to send a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker.

[0079] In a specific implementation, the second processing unit 404 is specifically used to: if the surface temperature of any human body part is greater than the first temperature threshold and less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, call the display screen and / or speaker of the target air conditioner to output safety warning information; if the surface temperature of any human body part is greater than the second temperature threshold, send a power cut-off command to the circuit control module of the induction cooker to cut off the power supply to the induction cooker.

[0080] Preferably, the second processing unit 404 is further configured to: if the surface temperature of any part is greater than the second temperature threshold, invoke the display screen and / or speaker of the target air conditioner to output burn warning information.
