[0002] In recent years, with the development of internet information technology, more and more users are choosing to exercise at home. Home fitness allows users to engage in fitness activities without having to travel or enter public places such as gyms or stadiums.

[0003] During exercise, whether aerobic or anaerobic, the body consumes energy. The process of metabolizing carbohydrates and fats also consumes a significant amount of oxygen. Therefore, specialized fitness venues typically have staff responsible for air conditioning to ensure that people don't experience discomfort due to oxygen deficiency during exercise.

[0004] However, when exercising at home, users usually close doors, windows, and air conditioning to avoid physical discomfort caused by drafts during exercise; but exercising in a confined space can also easily lead to physical discomfort caused by lack of oxygen. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0033] In this embodiment of the disclosure, smart home appliances refer to home appliances formed by introducing microprocessors, sensor technology and network communication technology into home appliances. They have the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent sensing and intelligent application. The operation of smart home appliances often relies on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet and electronic chips. For example, smart home appliances can be connected to electronic devices to enable users to remotely control and manage smart home appliances.

[0034] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal device refers to an electronic device with wireless connectivity. The terminal device can communicate with the aforementioned smart home appliances by connecting to the internet, or directly via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other methods. In some embodiments, the terminal device may be, for example, a mobile device, a computer, or an in-vehicle device built into a hovercraft, or any combination thereof. Mobile devices may include, for example, mobile phones, smart home devices, wearable devices, smart mobile devices, virtual reality devices, or any combination thereof. Wearable devices may include, for example, smartwatches, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc.

[0035] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure includes: when a user is detected to be moving indoors, acquiring the user's physiological parameter information and outdoor environmental information; determining an indoor ventilation strategy for a related time period based on the physiological parameter information and outdoor environmental information; and controlling the air conditioner and / or associated devices of the air conditioner to execute the indoor ventilation strategy.

[0036] In this embodiment, the associated device of the air conditioner can be a smart door / window or other air handling equipment with fresh air exchange function besides the air conditioner; the associated device can be a smart device that operates independently of the air conditioner and realizes the function of fresh air exchange in the indoor environment. The smart door / window can be opened in a controlled manner to ventilate the indoor environment. Optionally, when the smart door / window is open, its opening degree can be adjusted, that is, the amount of air exchanged by the smart door / window for the indoor environment can be adjusted.

[0037] Optionally, the entity performing the above steps can be an air conditioner, and both the air conditioner and associated devices are smart home appliances. The air conditioner and associated devices are communicatively connected, thus enabling information transmission between them. Specifically, when the air conditioner detects a user moving indoors, it acquires the user's physiological parameters and outdoor environmental information; based on the physiological parameters and outdoor environmental information, the air conditioner determines an indoor ventilation strategy for a specific time period; the air conditioner executes this indoor ventilation strategy, and / or controls its associated devices to execute the indoor ventilation strategy.

[0038] Optionally, the air conditioner may also have an associated server, which can be deployed on a cloud server or a separately configured smart gateway. The server has communication connections with both the air conditioner and associated devices, enabling information transmission between the server and the air conditioner, as well as between the server and associated devices. Specifically, when the server determines that a user is exercising indoors, it acquires the user's physiological parameters and outdoor environmental information. Based on these parameters, the server determines an indoor ventilation strategy for a specific time period. The server then sends the control command corresponding to the determined ventilation strategy to the air conditioner and / or its associated devices, causing the air conditioner to execute the ventilation strategy, and / or its associated devices to execute the ventilation strategy.

[0039] Based on the aforementioned communication connection relationship between the air conditioner and related devices, this disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the device for controlling the air conditioner includes:

[0040] S01. When a user is detected exercising indoors, obtain the user's physiological parameters and outdoor environmental information.

[0041] S02. Based on physiological parameter information and outdoor environmental information, determine the indoor ventilation strategy for the relevant time period.

[0042] S03. Control the air conditioning and / or associated equipment to implement indoor ventilation strategies.

[0043] The method for controlling air conditioning provided in this disclosure first obtains the physiological parameter information of a user exercising indoors, then determines the indoor ventilation strategy for a related time period based on the user's physiological parameter information and outdoor environmental information, and then controls the corresponding equipment with indoor ventilation function based on the determined indoor ventilation strategy, so as to realize the linkage and cooperation of the air conditioner and its related equipment, provide sufficient oxygen for the user exercising indoors during exercise, avoid the occurrence of hypoxia caused by the user exercising in a closed space, thereby meeting the user's oxygen demand during exercise and improving the user's comfort during exercise.

[0044] Optionally, the outdoor environmental information includes current season information; based on the exercise process information and the outdoor environmental information, the indoor ventilation strategy for the relevant time period is determined, including: if the outdoor environmental information indicates that the current season information matches the preset ventilation season, the user's current exercise stage is determined; based on the user's current exercise stage and physiological parameter information, the indoor ventilation strategy for the relevant time period is determined.

[0045] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the air conditioner or the server stores a preset ventilation season. The preset ventilation season can be the initial setting pre-stored at the factory of the air conditioner, or it can be a setting that the user changes through the application associated with the air conditioner.

[0046] Combination Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, including:

[0047] S11. If the outdoor environmental information indicates that the current season information matches the preset ventilation season, determine the user's current exercise stage.

[0048] S12. Determine the indoor ventilation strategy for the relevant time period based on the user's current exercise stage and physiological parameter information.

[0049] The method for controlling air conditioning provided in this disclosure first checks whether the current season matches the preset ventilation season. If the current season information matches the preset ventilation season, the indoor ventilation strategy for the relevant time period is determined based on the user's current exercise stage and physiological parameter information. In this way, if the current season information does not match the preset ventilation season, the subsequent indoor ventilation strategy judgment is not required, which can effectively simplify the control logic of the air conditioner.

[0050] Optionally, the outdoor environmental information also includes weather information; based on the user's current exercise stage and physiological parameter information, an indoor ventilation strategy is determined for the relevant time period, including: if the user's exercise stage meets the ventilation conditions, an indoor ventilation strategy is determined based on the blood oxygen concentration parameter in the weather information and physiological parameter information; if the user's exercise stage does not meet the ventilation conditions, an indoor ventilation strategy is determined again based on the blood oxygen concentration parameter in the weather information and physiological parameter information after a first preset time period.

[0051] In practical applications, it is not suitable for users to be in a well-ventilated environment after strenuous exercise. When users have just finished strenuous exercise, their pores are open, and ventilation at this time can have an adverse effect on their health. Therefore, the air conditioner determines whether the user is in a physical stage that is not suitable for air conditioning by using the user's blood oxygen concentration parameter. In other words, it determines the user's exercise stage by using the user's blood oxygen concentration parameter, and then determines whether the user's physical condition is suitable for indoor ventilation based on the exercise stage.

[0052] Optionally, an indoor ventilation strategy can be determined based on the blood oxygen concentration parameter in the weather information and physiological parameter information, including: when the weather information indicates that the outdoor weather is bad, controlling the air conditioner to turn on the fresh air function based on the blood oxygen concentration parameter; when the weather information indicates that the outdoor weather is sunny, determining the indoor ventilation strategy based on the type of exercise the user is currently engaged in and the blood oxygen concentration parameter.

[0053] Furthermore, the method for controlling the air conditioner also includes: determining the outdoor environmental change trend based on detected weather information; determining a target ventilation plan for the indoor environment based on the environmental change trend; and, if the target ventilation plan includes opening smart doors and windows, sending a confirmation request to the user to open the smart doors and windows; and opening the smart doors and windows upon receiving confirmation feedback from the user.

[0054] Combination Figure 3 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, including:

[0055] S21. Analyze weather information if the user's current activity stage meets ventilation requirements.

[0056] S22. When the weather information indicates that the outdoor weather is severe, control the air conditioner to turn on the fresh air function based on the blood oxygen concentration parameter.

[0057] This effectively avoids situations where the target ventilation plan determined by the air conditioner or service provider does not meet the expectations of users indoors. Even if it is determined that the user's body can withstand ventilation, the target ventilation plan is determined and implemented based on the weather conditions, so that the operation status and effect of the air conditioner and smart doors and windows better meet the expectations of users indoors.

[0058] Combination Figure 4 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, including:

[0059] S31. If the user's current exercise phase does not meet ventilation conditions, analyze the weather information after waiting for the first preset time.

[0060] S32. When the weather information indicates that the outdoor weather is sunny, determine the indoor ventilation strategy based on the type of exercise the user is currently engaged in and the blood oxygen concentration parameters.

[0061] Optionally, the outdoor environmental change trend includes the change trend of the target parameter type representing the outdoor environmental conditions; determining the outdoor environmental change trend based on the detected weather information includes: obtaining the weather forecast content submitted by the server associated with the air conditioner; determining multiple parameter values ​​of the target parameter type detected in the associated time period from the weather forecast content; and analyzing the change trend of the parameter values ​​of the target parameter type in the associated time period based on the detected multiple parameter values.

[0062] In this solution, the target parameter type may include outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor ambient humidity, wind force, air quality index, etc. Optionally, the associated time period can be a future time period. From the weather forecast content, multiple parameter values ​​of the target parameter type detected within the associated time period are determined, including: obtaining multiple values ​​of outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor ambient humidity, wind force, or air quality index in the future time period from the weather forecast content, so that the air conditioner or server can predict the changing trend of outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor ambient humidity, wind force, or air quality index in the future time period based on the obtained multiple values.

[0063] Optionally, determining multiple parameter values ​​of the target parameter type in the associated time period includes: determining the target parameter type and dividing the associated time period into multiple sub-time periods; and detecting the parameter values ​​of the target parameter type in each sub-time period.

[0064] Specifically, the target parameter type can be determined as follows: obtain the user's submitted environmental maintenance expectations; determine the target parameter type based on the environmental maintenance expectations. The environmental maintenance expectations can include the user's desired goals for the indoor environment; for example, if the user's desired indoor environment goal is to achieve the target ambient temperature of the air conditioner, then the target environmental parameter type can be the outdoor ambient temperature; if the user's desired indoor environment goal is to keep the indoor environment dry, then the target environmental parameter type can be the outdoor ambient humidity; if the user's desired indoor environment goal is to keep the indoor environment clean, then the target environmental parameter type can be the air quality index and wind speed.

[0065] Optionally, the associated time period can be evenly divided into multiple sub-time periods. The air conditioning system can then analyze the changing trends of the target parameter type's parameter values ​​across the associated time periods based on the values ​​of the target parameter type within each of the multiple sub-time periods.

[0066] Optionally, the multiple parameter values ​​also include the parameter value of the target parameter type at the current time; based on the detected multiple parameter values, the changing trend of the parameter value of the target parameter type in the associated time period is analyzed, including: comparing the parameter value of the target parameter type in each sub-time period with the parameter value of the target parameter type at the current time; and determining the changing trend of the parameter value of the target parameter type in the associated time period based on the comparison results.

[0067] Optionally, when the target parameter type is the air quality index level, the target ventilation scheme for the indoor environment is determined based on the environmental change trend, including: determining the target ventilation method and target ventilation time of the target ventilation scheme according to the change trend of the air quality index level in the relevant time period.

[0068] Optionally, based on the changing trend of the air quality index level over the associated time period, the target ventilation method and target ventilation time of the target ventilation plan are determined, including: if the air quality index level at the current moment meets the preset index level and the air quality index level at any detection moment within the associated time period meets the preset index level, the target ventilation plan is determined to be to open smart doors and windows for ventilation at a first preset time and continue for a first preset duration; if the air quality index level at the current moment meets the preset index level and the air quality index level at least at one moment within the associated time period does not uniformly meet the preset index level, the target ventilation plan is determined to be to open smart doors and windows for ventilation at a second preset time and continue for a first preset duration; if the air quality index level at the current moment does not meet the preset index level and the air quality index level at least at one moment within the associated time period does not uniformly meet the preset index level, the target ventilation plan is to activate the fresh air ventilation function of the air conditioner at a first preset time and continue for a second preset duration; wherein, the first preset duration is shorter than the second preset duration.

[0069] In this way, different ventilation schemes are implemented based on different outdoor environmental change trends. This not only solves the problem of limited ventilation volume when relying solely on air conditioning, but also addresses the issue of indoor environments not meeting user expectations due to constantly open doors and windows. This effectively solves the problems caused by using only a single ventilation method. Through the coordinated operation of smart doors and windows and air conditioning, users are provided with convenient operation in terms of indoor ventilation. This not only ensures users' ventilation needs for the indoor environment, but also maintains the target environmental parameters and hygiene of the indoor environment, improving the comfort of users during indoor activities.

[0070] Optionally, the associated devices include smart doors and windows; based on the user's current exercise type and blood oxygen concentration parameters, an indoor ventilation strategy is determined, including: opening smart doors and windows for indoor ventilation when the user's current exercise type has a first reference characteristic and the blood oxygen concentration parameter is less than a first concentration threshold; and activating the air conditioner's fresh air function when the user's current exercise type has a second reference characteristic and the blood oxygen concentration parameter is less than the first concentration threshold.

[0071] Optionally, controlling the air conditioner to activate the fresh air function based on the blood oxygen concentration parameter includes: controlling the air conditioner to operate at a first ventilation rate for ventilation when the blood oxygen concentration parameter is less than a first concentration threshold; controlling the air conditioner to operate at a second ventilation rate for ventilation when the blood oxygen concentration parameter is greater than or equal to the first concentration threshold and less than a second concentration threshold; and controlling the air conditioner to deactivate the fresh air function when the blood oxygen concentration parameter is greater than or equal to the second concentration threshold; wherein the first concentration threshold is less than the second concentration threshold; and the first ventilation rate is greater than the second ventilation rate.

[0072] In this way, by obtaining the blood oxygen concentration parameters of users exercising indoors, the ventilation rate of the air conditioning fresh air function can be controlled to provide sufficient oxygen for users exercising indoors, avoid the occurrence of hypoxia caused by users exercising in a closed space, thereby meeting the oxygen demand of users during exercise and improving the comfort of users during exercise.

[0073] In some embodiments, where the physiological parameter information includes heart rate data of the user at multiple moments during exercise, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: acquiring image capture information of the user during exercise; obtaining a coordination evaluation of the user's actions during exercise based on the image capture information; and generating exercise adjustment suggestions for the user based on the heart rate data at multiple moments and the coordination evaluation.

[0074] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the image capture information belongs to the user's motion process information; in some examples, the motion process information may also include physiological detection parameters acquired during the motion process; in other examples, the motion process information may also include other state information that can characterize the user's process status, determined based on the aforementioned physiological detection parameters and image capture information. Optionally, determining the user's fatigue information based on the user's physiological detection parameters and / or image capture information during the motion process includes: determining the user's coordination information for the preset fitness movements in the initial assistance strategy based on the image capture information; determining the user's fatigue information based on the coordination information and physiological detection parameters; determining correction information for the current exercise mode based on the fatigue information; and then adjusting the initial assistance strategy executed in the current exercise mode according to the correction information, so that the air conditioner runs the adjusted optimized assistance strategy in the current exercise mode.

[0075] Optionally, the air conditioner may be equipped with a wide dynamic range camera, so that the image capture information obtained by the air conditioner through the wide dynamic range camera can accurately capture every action image during the user's movement, so that the air conditioner or the server can perform further information processing and judgment based on the image capture information.

[0076] Optionally, the wide dynamic range camera has an ultra-wide-angle lens. In this way, equipping the air conditioner with a wide dynamic range camera not only improves low-light imaging capabilities, ensuring that even in dimly lit indoor environments, the air conditioner can effectively capture images of every movement the user makes, but also ensures that the captured image information can capture large movements of the user hundreds of times per second, allowing the air conditioner to judge the accuracy of the user's movements based on the captured image information.

[0077] Furthermore, after generating exercise adjustment suggestions for users, these suggestions can be pushed to them. Based on image capture information from a wide dynamic range camera and reference image information for each preset fitness movement pre-stored in the air conditioner's database, the user's coordination level for the preset fitness movements in the initial assistance strategy can be obtained by comparing the captured image information and the reference image information. Since the user's coordination level in completing the preset fitness movements is correlated with their fatigue level, combined with physiological parameters such as heart rate data, the user's fatigue level can be determined. Thus, by combining the user's coordination level in completing the preset fitness movements with the physiological parameters during the movement, the determined fatigue level information more accurately reflects the user's current fatigue level. This allows for monitoring of the exercise process of users exercising at home, timely reminders to adjust exercise goals based on the user's actual exercise status, and helps users develop good exercise habits even without professional coaching. It addresses the issue of users not fully understanding their own exercise status and improves the user's home fitness experience through air conditioning-assisted fitness.

[0078] Combination Figure 5 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, including:

[0079] S41. Obtain image capture information of the user during movement.

[0080] S42. Based on image capture information, obtain an evaluation of the coordination of the user's actions during the movement.

[0081] S43. Based on heart rate data and coordination evaluation at multiple times, generate exercise adjustment suggestions for the user.

[0082] Optionally, the assistive strategies in the exercise mode include recommending the type of exercise the user should perform, as well as the load level and duration of the exercise type the user should perform; and determining correction information for the current exercise mode based on fatigue information, including: reducing the load level of the exercise type the user is currently performing, and / or reducing the duration required for the user to perform the exercise type, if the fatigue information indicates that the user's fatigue level is greater than the reference value.

[0083] The load level of the exercise type can be used to characterize the difficulty coefficient of a user performing a preset fitness movement in a standard manner; or, the load level of the exercise type can also be used to characterize the energy consumption level of a user performing a preset fitness movement in a standard manner.

[0084] In this embodiment of the disclosure, reducing the load level of an exercise type may include adjusting a preset fitness movement with high energy consumption to a preset fitness movement with low energy consumption, or adjusting a preset fitness movement with a high difficulty level to a preset fitness movement with a low difficulty level. Reducing the duration required for the user to perform an exercise type means not changing the preset fitness movement, but reducing the number of times the preset fitness movement is performed or the duration of each performance of the preset fitness movement as set in the initial assistance strategy.

[0085] In some embodiments, after acquiring image capture information of the user during exercise, the air conditioning-assisted fitness method further includes: inputting the image capture information into a target model for evaluating the standard of fitness movements to obtain the evaluation result of the target model on the user's current fitness movements; and issuing a correction reminder to the user if the evaluation result indicates that the standard of the user's current fitness movements is lower than a preset limit.

[0086] Optionally, the evaluation result of the current fitness movement can also be determined by comparing the captured image information with the reference image information pre-stored by the air conditioner; determining the evaluation result of the current fitness movement based on the comparison result; and issuing a correction reminder to the user if the evaluation result indicates that the standard of the user's current fitness movement is lower than a preset limit. The preset limit can be the standard reference value corresponding to each preset fitness movement pre-stored by the air conditioner.

[0087] Specifically, determining the assessment result for the current fitness movement based on the comparison results may also include: determining the error type of the user's movement based on the comparison results between the image capture information and the reference image information pre-stored by the air conditioner, and determining the adverse effects on the body parts corresponding to the error type from the motion information database; so that when the air conditioner issues a correction reminder to the user, it includes a prompt about the error type of the user's current movement and which specific part of the user's body the error movement will cause damage to.

[0088] In some embodiments, before acquiring the user's exercise process information, the air conditioning-assisted fitness method further includes: acquiring the user's initial exercise information; determining the initial assistance strategy to be executed in this exercise mode based on the initial exercise information; wherein the initial exercise information includes the user's basic personal information and exercise expectation information submitted by the user.

[0089] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the exercise expectation information can be used to characterize the weight loss or body shaping goals that the user wants to achieve through exercise.

[0090] Combination Figure 5 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for air conditioning-assisted fitness is provided, including:

[0091] S41. Obtain the user's initial motion information.

[0092] S42. Based on the initial motion information, determine the initial auxiliary strategy to be executed in this motion mode.

[0093] In this way, before entering exercise mode, the air conditioner collects the user's initial exercise information and then generates an initial assistance strategy based on the user's submitted initial exercise information. This ensures that the initial assistance strategy on which the exercise mode is based fully considers the user's basic personal conditions and exercise goals, providing a reliable information foundation for the air conditioner to further optimize its assistance strategy for the user's fitness.

[0094] In some embodiments, the basic personal information includes the user's body fat percentage data; after obtaining the user's initial exercise information, the air conditioning-assisted fitness method further includes: determining the user's exercise volume information under the current exercise mode based on the exercise process information; and determining dietary recommendations for the user based on the user's body fat percentage data, exercise expectation information, and exercise volume information.

[0095] Optionally, based on the user's body fat percentage data, exercise expectation information, and exercise volume information, dietary recommendations for the user can be determined. This may include: obtaining a dietary information database containing multiple exercise recipes and associated conditional information for each exercise recipe, wherein the conditional information is related to the user's body fat percentage data, weight loss goal, and exercise volume; after determining the user's exercise volume information for the current exercise mode, determining a target exercise recipe related to the user's body fat percentage data, weight loss goal, and the aforementioned exercise volume from the dietary information database; and pushing this target exercise recipe to the user as a dietary recommendation.

[0096] Combination Figure 6 As shown, this disclosure provides an apparatus for controlling an air conditioner, including a processor 100 and a memory 101.
