In a case where the first contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the user is in a lying posture on the smart mattress and has not gotten up yet. The current running mode of the air conditioner is adjusted, and the user is gradually woken up by the air conditioner. By taking the first contact area of the smart mattress as a basis to determine whether the user gets up, the possibility of false triggering of the wake-up mode in the process of waking up the user to get up by the air conditioner is reduced.

[0031] In order to enable a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are only used for reference and do not limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the following technical description, in order to facilitate explanation, a plurality of details are provided to provide a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, one or more embodiments can still be implemented without these details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices can be simplified to facilitate the drawings.

It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0033] Unless otherwise specified, the term "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the character " / " represents an "or" relationship between the objects before and after it. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0035] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, which means that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B, the three relationships.

[0036] The term "corresponding" can refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. A and B correspond to each other means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.

[0037] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the smart home appliance refers to a home appliance product formed after introducing microprocessors, sensor technology, network communication technology into home appliances, having the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception and intelligent application. The operation process of the smart home appliance often depends on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet and electronic chips. For example, the smart home appliance can realize remote control and management of the smart home appliance by connecting electronic devices.

[0038] In the disclosed embodiments, the terminal device refers to an electronic device with wireless connection function. The terminal device can be connected to the smart home appliance through the Internet, or can be directly connected to the smart home appliance through Bluetooth, WiFi, or the like. In some embodiments, the terminal device is, for example, a mobile device, a computer, or a built-in vehicle device in a hovercar, or any combination thereof. The mobile device can 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. The wearable device can include, for example, a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, or the like.

[0039] As an air conditioning device, the air conditioner is often used for cooling in summer and heating in winter, and is in a state of non-use in other seasons. With the development of intelligent technology, the air conditioner has more and more detection and control functions, and becomes a kind of smart home appliance. Through linkage, the parameters detected by the associated smart home appliance can be obtained, the associated smart home appliance can be controlled, and the parameters and control results can be pushed to the terminal device. As a new smart home appliance, the smart mattress can detect the contact area of the user and send it to the associated smart home appliance, so that the smart home appliance can perform corresponding actions.

[0040] The disclosed embodiments provide an air conditioner linked with a smart mattress, which includes a millimeter wave radar sensor, an infrared temperature sensor (or a thermal imager, a camera, etc.), a ranging sensor, an indoor temperature sensor, and a concentration sensor. The millimeter wave radar sensor is used to detect the heart rate and breathing rate of the user, so that the air conditioner obtains the sleep state of the user. The infrared temperature sensor is used to detect the body surface temperature of the user in the area, to determine the parts exposed and covered by the user when sleeping, so that the air conditioner adjusts the angle of the air deflector. The ranging sensor is used to detect the distance between the air conditioner and the user, so that the air conditioner determines whether the user has really got up. The indoor temperature sensor is used to detect the indoor environment temperature, so that the air conditioner determines the appropriate air outlet temperature. The concentration sensor is used to detect the indoor carbon dioxide concentration. The air conditioner also has a fresh air function, which cooperates with the concentration sensor to introduce outdoor fresh air into the room through the internally arranged fresh air fan to wake up the user.

[0041] In combination with Figure 1 The disclosed embodiments provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, which includes:

[0042] In S210, the air conditioner obtains the current time.

[0043] In S220, in a case where it is determined that the current time meets the wake-up condition, the air conditioner acquires the first contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0044] S230, in a case where the first contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the air conditioner adjusts a current operation mode.

[0045] By using the method for controlling the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the current time is obtained, and it is determined whether the user needs to be woken up. In a case where it is determined that the current time meets the wake-up condition, the time when the user gets up has approached, the first contact area of the user on the smart mattress is obtained. In a case where the first contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the user is in a lying posture on the smart mattress and has not gotten up yet. The current operation mode of the air conditioner is adjusted, and the user is gradually woken up by the air conditioner. By taking the first contact area of the smart mattress as a basis to determine whether the user gets up, the possibility of false triggering of the wake-up mode in the process of waking up the user by the air conditioner is reduced. At the same time, since the user is woken up by the air conditioner, the user is prevented from being startled by the sudden playing of an alarm clock, and the effect of waking up the user is improved.

[0046] The area threshold mentioned above refers to the area occupied by the user in a lying posture on the smart mattress. Since the body shape of each user is different, the smart mattress can adapt to the area occupied by the user in a lying posture through statistical and learning methods. Alternatively, since the area occupied by the sitting posture and the lying posture on the smart mattress is quite different, the area threshold can be set between the areas occupied by the sitting posture and the lying posture (determined through experimental data).

[0047] In combination with Figure 2 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide another method for controlling an air conditioner, which comprises the following steps:

[0048] S210, the air conditioner obtains a current time.

[0049] S211, the air conditioner obtains a set time of the user.

[0050] S212, the air conditioner determines that the difference between the set time and the current time is an interval duration.

[0051] S213, in a case where the interval duration is less than or equal to a preset duration, the air conditioner determines that the current time meets a wake-up condition.

[0052] S220, the air conditioner obtains a first contact area of the user on a smart mattress.

[0053] S230, in a case where the first contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the air conditioner adjusts a current operation mode.

[0054] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the interval length between the current time and the set time of the user by obtaining the current time and the set time of the user. In the case that the interval length is less than or equal to the preset length, the current time has reached the time for pre-waking up the user, and it is determined that the current time meets the wake-up condition. By starting to wake up the user before the set time, the speed of the air conditioner in waking up the user and the delay of the user when getting up are taken into account, and the reliability of the air conditioner in waking up the user to get up is improved.

[0055] Optionally, the air conditioner in step S211 obtains the set time of the user, which can be that the air conditioner obtains the set time of the user set in the terminal device in a linkage manner. Alternatively, the set time of the user can be input by the user to the air conditioner through the terminal device and stored by the air conditioner. Alternatively, the set time of the user can be input by the user to the air conditioner through the remote controller. In this way, the user can make the air conditioner obtain the set time in multiple ways, increase the diversity of the user alarm setting method, and thus improve the applicability of the air conditioner.

[0056] Optionally, the preset length is in the range of [5, 10] min. Preferably, the preset length is 6 min, 7 min or 8 min. In this way, when the preset length is in the above range, the speed of the air conditioner in waking up the user and the delay of the user when getting up can be taken into account, so that the air conditioner wakes up the user before and after the set time.

[0057] In combination with Figure 3 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling the air conditioner, which comprises:

[0058] S210, the air conditioner obtains the current time.

[0059] S220, in the case that the current time meets the wake-up condition, the air conditioner obtains the first contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0060] S231, in the case that the first contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the air conditioner obtains the sleep state of the user.

[0061] S240, in the case that the sleep state is the light sleep state, the air conditioner adjusts the current running mode to the first wake-up mode, and returns to step S220.

[0062] S250, in the case that the sleep state is the deep sleep state, the air conditioner adjusts the current running mode to the second wake-up mode, and returns to step S231.

[0063] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can obtain the sleep state of the user when waking up the user, and determine the wake-up mode according to the sleep state. In the light sleep state, the user is easy to wake up, and the user is woken up to get up in the first wake-up mode. In the deep sleep state, the user is difficult to wake up, and the user is woken up to the light sleep state in the second wake-up mode. By waking up the user in different wake-up modes in different sleep states of the user, the discomfort of the user after getting up is reduced, thereby improving the effect of the air conditioner on waking up the user to get up.

[0064] Optionally, the air conditioner obtaining the sleep state of the user in step S231 comprises: the air conditioner detecting the heart rate and the breathing frequency of the user. In the case that the heart rate is less than the heart rate threshold and the breathing frequency is less than the deep sleep breathing frequency threshold, the air conditioner determines that the user is in the deep sleep state. In the case that the heart rate is less than the heart rate threshold and the breathing frequency is greater than or equal to the deep sleep breathing frequency threshold, or the heart rate is greater than or equal to the heart rate threshold, the air conditioner determines that the user is in the light sleep state. The deep sleep breathing frequency threshold is less than the light sleep breathing frequency threshold, and the wake state is regarded as the light sleep state. In this way, the heart rate and the breathing frequency of the user are detected by the millimeter wave radar sensor, and the sleep state of the user can be accurately determined according to the heart rate and the breathing frequency of the user, so that the air conditioner selects the appropriate wake-up mode.

[0065] In combination Figure 4 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0066] S210, the air conditioner obtains the current time.

[0067] S220, in the case that the current time meets the wake-up condition, the air conditioner obtains the first contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0068] S231, in the case that the first contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the air conditioner obtains the sleep state of the user.

[0069] S232, the indoor temperature sensor detects the indoor environment temperature.

[0070] S241, in the case that the sleep state is the light sleep state, the air conditioner controls the indoor fan to run in a constant speed mode.

[0071] S242, the air conditioner obtains the first area angle of the user.

[0072] S243, the air conditioner adjusts the angle of the air deflector to the first area angle.

[0073] S244, the air conditioner determines the difference between the indoor environment temperature and the adjusted temperature as the outlet air temperature, and returns to step S220.

[0074] S251, in the case where the sleep state is a deep sleep state, the air conditioner controls the indoor fan to run in a variable speed mode.

[0075] S252, the air conditioner obtains a second area angle of the user.

[0076] S253, the air conditioner adjusts the angle of the air deflector to the second area angle.

[0077] S254, the air conditioner determines the indoor environment temperature as the outlet temperature, and returns to step S231.

[0078] By using the method for controlling the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the sleep state is a light sleep state, since the user has a strong perception of the fixed wind speed, the indoor fan is controlled to run in a constant speed mode (for example, 700 rpm, 800 rpm or 900 rpm). After the first area angle is determined, the angle of the air deflector is adjusted to the first area angle, so that the part of the user's skin exposed to the air outlet of the air conditioner is stimulated to stimulate the user's perception. The air outlet is performed at an outlet temperature lower than the indoor environment temperature, so that the user feels the change of temperature, and then changes from the light sleep state to the wake state. In the case where the sleep state is a deep sleep state, if the user is awakened in the same way as in the light sleep state, the user will have a strong desire to get up, and the sudden stimulation of awakening will make the user feel uncomfortable. The indoor fan is controlled to run in a variable speed mode (for example, gradually changes from 300 rpm to 800 rpm within 5 minutes), so that the user gradually feels the change of the wind volume, and changes the sleep state. After the second area angle is determined, the angle of the air deflector is adjusted to the second area angle, so as to reduce the influence of the air outlet of the air conditioner on the part of the user's skin exposed, thereby reducing the stimulation of the user's perception. The air outlet is performed at the indoor environment temperature as the outlet temperature, so as to reduce the stimulation of the temperature change to the user. By adjusting the wind speed, the outlet angle and the outlet temperature in different sleep states, the degree of stimulation to the user is changed, the influence on the user is reduced, and the effect of the air conditioner in awakening the user to get up is improved.

[0079] Optionally, the value range of the adjustment temperature is [3, 5]℃. Preferably, the value of the adjustment temperature is 3.5℃, 4℃ or 4.5℃. In this way, when the value of the adjustment temperature is in the above range, the problem of cold caused by the air conditioner greatly reducing the temperature to awaken the user to get up can be avoided. At the same time, the temperature reduction amplitude can stimulate the user's perception, so as to facilitate the user to change from the light sleep state to the wake state and then get up, thereby improving the effect of the air conditioner in awakening the user to get up.

[0080] Optionally, the air conditioner in step S242 obtains the first area angle of the user, and the air conditioner in step S252 obtains the second area angle of the user, by detecting the temperature of the exposed and covered parts of the user's skin through an infrared temperature sensor, determining the first area angle according to the exposed part, and determining the second area angle according to the covered part. In this way, the air conditioner can blow towards the part of the user's skin exposed in the light sleep state to stimulate, and blow towards the part of the user's skin covered in the deep sleep state to reduce stimulation, thereby improving the effect of the air conditioner on waking up the user to get up.

[0081] In combination Figure 5 As shown in the embodiments of the present disclosure, another method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, comprising:

[0082] S210, the air conditioner obtains the current time.

[0083] S220, in the case where it is determined that the current time meets the wake-up condition, the air conditioner acquires the first contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0084] S231, in the case where the first contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the air conditioner obtains the sleep state of the user.

[0085] S233, the concentration sensor detects the indoor carbon dioxide concentration.

[0086] S234, the infrared temperature sensor detects the body surface temperature of the user.

[0087] S235, the air conditioner determines whether the fresh air opening condition is met according to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the body surface temperature.

[0088] S246, in the case where the sleep state is a light sleep state and the fresh air opening condition is met, the air conditioner controls the fresh air fan to operate in a constant speed mode.

[0089] S242, the air conditioner obtains the first area angle of the user.

[0090] S243, the air conditioner adjusts the angle of the air deflector to the first area angle, and returns to step S220.

[0091] S247, in the case where the sleep state is a light sleep state and the fresh air opening condition is not met, the air conditioner controls the indoor fan to operate in a constant speed mode, and executes step S242.

[0092] S256, in the case where the sleep state is a deep sleep state and the fresh air opening condition is met, the air conditioner controls the fresh air fan to operate in a variable speed mode.

[0093] S252, the air conditioner obtains the second area angle of the user.

[0094] S253, the air conditioner adjusts the angle of the air deflector to the second area angle, and returns to step S231.

[0095] S257, in the case that the sleep state is the deep sleep state and the fresh air opening condition is not met, the air conditioner controls the indoor fan to run in the variable speed mode, and executes step S252.

[0096] By using the method for controlling the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, since there is a certain temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor environment temperatures, only through the fresh air mode to wake up the user to get up may cause the discomfort of the user. According to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the body surface temperature, it is determined whether the fresh air opening condition is met, so as to determine whether to wake up the user to get up through the fresh air fan or the indoor fan. When the user is woken up to get up in the way of introducing fresh air, since the user has a strong perception of the fixed wind speed in the light sleep state, the fresh air fan is controlled to run in the constant speed mode. In the deep sleep state, the user has a strong perception of the variable wind speed, the fresh air fan is controlled to run in the variable speed mode, and the sleep state is gradually changed. The user is woken up to get up in the way of introducing fresh air, which reduces the power consumption of the air conditioner and improves the indoor air quality, and meanwhile improves the effect of waking up the user to get up by the air conditioner.

[0097] Optionally, the air conditioner in step S235 determines whether the fresh air opening condition is met according to the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the body surface temperature, including: in the case that the indoor carbon dioxide concentration is greater than the concentration threshold value and the body surface temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold value, the air conditioner determines that the fresh air opening condition is met. In the case that the indoor carbon dioxide concentration is less than or equal to the concentration threshold value, or the indoor carbon dioxide concentration is greater than the concentration threshold value and the body surface temperature is less than the temperature threshold value, the air conditioner determines that the fresh air opening condition is not met. In this way, in the case that the indoor carbon dioxide concentration is greater than the concentration threshold value, the user is woken up to get up in the way of introducing fresh air, and the indoor air quality is improved. In the case that the indoor carbon dioxide concentration is less than or equal to the concentration threshold value, the user is woken up to get up in the way of indoor air conditioning, and the indoor air is prevented from being polluted by the outdoor air. When the fresh air is introduced, the body surface temperature of the user changes due to the existence of the temperature difference. In the case that the body surface temperature is less than the temperature threshold value, the outdoor environment temperature is too low, which may cause the user to catch a cold, and the way of introducing fresh air to wake up the user to get up is abandoned. Whether to introduce fresh air is determined by the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and the body surface temperature, which reduces the power consumption of the air conditioner and improves the indoor air quality, and meanwhile improves the effect of waking up the user to get up by the air conditioner.

[0098] Optionally, the temperature threshold is in a range of [29, 33] degrees Celsius. Preferably, the temperature threshold is 30 degrees Celsius, 31 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Celsius. The concentration threshold is in a range of [800, 1200] ppm. Preferably, the concentration threshold is 900 ppm, 1000 ppm, or 1100 ppm. In this way, when the temperature threshold is in the above range, the outdoor environment temperature has a greater impact on the user's body surface temperature, and the fresh air makes the user feel uncomfortable. When the concentration threshold is in the above range, the indoor air quality is poor, which causes the user to feel uncomfortable. By selecting the values of the temperature threshold and the concentration threshold in the appropriate range, the influence of the outdoor environment temperature and the indoor air quality on the user's health can be reduced, and the effect of the air conditioner in waking up the user to get up is improved.

[0099] In combination Figure 6 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide another method for controlling an air conditioner, which comprises:

[0100] In S210, the air conditioner obtains the current time.

[0101] In S220, in a case where the current time meets the wake-up condition, the air conditioner acquires the first contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0102] In S230, in a case where the first contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the air conditioner adjusts the current operation mode.

[0103] In S260, the air conditioner acquires the second contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0104] In S270, in a case where the second contact area is less than the area threshold, the ranging sensor detects the current distance between the air conditioner and the user.

[0105] In S280, the air conditioner adjusts the current operation mode according to the current distance.

[0106] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure acquires the second contact area of the user on the smart mattress after the air conditioner adjusts the current mode for the first time, and determines whether the user gets up. In a case where the second contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the user is still in a lying posture, and the user is continued to be woken up according to the previous operation mode. In a case where the second contact area is less than the area threshold, the user is no longer in a lying posture, and may sit on the smart mattress or has gotten up. The ranging sensor detects the current distance between the air conditioner and the user to determine whether the user moves, so as to adjust the current operation mode. By detecting the distance between the user after the user gets up, the current operation mode is adjusted to prevent the user from falling asleep again, and the effect of the air conditioner in waking up the user to get up is improved.

[0107] In combination Figure 7As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0108] S210, the air conditioner obtains a current time.

[0109] S220, in the case where it is determined that the current time meets the wake-up condition, the air conditioner acquires a first contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0110] S230, in the case where the first contact area is greater than or equal to an area threshold, the air conditioner adjusts a current operation mode.

[0111] S236, the air conditioner stops receiving signals of a remote controller.

[0112] S260, the air conditioner acquires a second contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0113] S270, in the case where the second contact area is less than the area threshold, a ranging sensor detects a current distance between the air conditioner and the user.

[0114] S281, the air conditioner determines a distance difference value between the current distance and a historical distance.

[0115] S282, in the case where the distance difference value is less than or equal to a distance threshold, the air conditioner keeps the current operation mode unchanged and returns to step S270.

[0116] S283, in the case where the distance difference value is greater than the distance threshold, the air conditioner adjusts the current operation mode to an initial operation mode.

[0117] S284, the air conditioner starts receiving signals of the remote controller.

[0118] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can prevent the user from forcibly shutting down the air conditioner and thus failing to wake up when the user does not get up. When the current distance and the historical distance are relatively close, the user is awake and sits up, but has the possibility of falling asleep again. At this time, the current operation mode is kept unchanged to prevent the user from falling asleep again. When the current distance and the historical distance are relatively far apart, the user has gotten up and moved, the current operation mode is adjusted to the initial operation mode (the operation mode before the current time) and the air conditioner starts receiving signals of the remote controller. By determining whether the user has truly gotten up according to the distance difference value, the user is prevented from falling asleep again, and the effect of waking up the user by the air conditioner is improved.

[0119] The historical distance is the current distance in the previous detection process (for example, detected once per second).

[0120] Optionally, the distance threshold is in a range of [0.4, 1] m. Preferably, the distance threshold is 0.6 m, 0.7 m or 0.8 m. In this way, when the distance threshold is in the above range, the case that the user moves slowly when getting up can be considered, and false determination that the user has not gotten up can be prevented.

[0121] In combination Figure 8 As shown in the drawings, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0122] S210, the air conditioner obtains a current time.

[0123] S220, in a case where it is determined that the current time meets a wake-up condition, the air conditioner acquires a first contact area of a user on a smart mattress.

[0124] S230, in a case where the first contact area is greater than or equal to an area threshold, the air conditioner adjusts a current operation mode.

[0125] S260, the air conditioner acquires a second contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0126] S270, in a case where the second contact area is less than the area threshold, a ranging sensor detects a current distance between the air conditioner and the user.

[0127] S280, the air conditioner adjusts the current operation mode according to the current distance.

[0128] S290, the air conditioner obtains the current time again.

[0129] S300, in a case where it is determined that the current time meets a secondary wake-up condition, the air conditioner acquires a third contact area of the user on the smart mattress.

[0130] S310, in a case where the third contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the air conditioner adjusts the current operation mode to a third wake-up mode, and returns to step S300.

[0131] S320, in a case where the third contact area is less than the area threshold, the air conditioner adjusts the current operation mode to an initial operation mode.

[0132] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to obtain the third contact area of the user on the smart mattress when the secondary wake-up condition is met at the current time, so as to prevent the user from falling asleep again after getting up and moving. In the case that the third contact area is greater than or equal to the area threshold, the user has fallen asleep again and is in a light sleep state or a wake state, and the current operation mode is adjusted to the third wake-up mode to wake up the user. In the case that the third contact area is less than the area threshold, it is determined that the user has gotten up, and the current operation mode is adjusted to the initial operation mode. The state of the user is detected again at a certain time after the user gets up, and the secondary wake-up is performed when it is determined that the user falls asleep again, thereby improving the effect of the air conditioner on waking up the user to get up.

[0133] Optionally, the determination that the current time meets the secondary wake-up condition in step S300 comprises: the air conditioner determining that a difference between the current time and the set time is a secondary time length. In the case that the secondary time length is greater than or equal to a preset time length, the air conditioner determines that the current time meets the secondary wake-up condition. In this way, by determining the secondary time length between the current time and the set time, it is determined whether the user has truly gotten up after exceeding the set time. In the case that the secondary time length is greater than or equal to the preset time length, the current time has exceeded the time for waking up the user at the latest, and it is determined that the current time meets the secondary wake-up condition. By considering the secondary time length of the user falling asleep again after getting up, the user is woken up again after the set time, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner on waking up the user to get up.

[0134] Optionally, the adjustment of the current operation mode to the third wake-up mode by the air conditioner in step S310 comprises: the air conditioner controlling the indoor fan to operate at the highest speed. The air conditioner controls the air deflector to rotate between the maximum angle and the minimum angle. The air conditioner determines the lowest temperature as the outlet air temperature. The lowest temperature can be the minimum temperature value that can be set in the remote controller, or can be the minimum temperature value in the wake-up mode. In this way, since the preset time length is short, the user is still in a wake state or a light sleep state even if the user falls asleep again. At this time, the user is quickly stimulated by the outlet air with high intensity, so that the user feels uncomfortable and quickly wakes up and gets up, thereby improving the effect of the air conditioner on waking up the user to get up.
