[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling a cabinet air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; combined with Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, a method for controlling a cabinet air conditioner is provided, comprising:

[0035] S11, when the touch panel of the cabinet air conditioner receives the power on / off command of the cabinet air conditioner, the cabinet air conditioner obtains the current time information and the location information of the target user.

[0036] S12, the cabinet air conditioner determines the target user's control intention information based on the current time information and / or the target user's location information.

[0037] S13, if the control intent information indicates that there is no intention to turn on or off, the cabinet air conditioner controls itself to stop executing the on / off commands received from the touch panel.

[0038] In this solution, the target user can be the user closest to the air conditioner unit, or the highest-priority user in the household. The air conditioner's power-on / off command can be either a power-on command or a power-off command. This command can be generated by the target user touching the power button or the power-on / off trigger area on the touch panel. Alternatively, the power-on / off command can also be generated due to environmental dust or other interference affecting the button or trigger area. For example, a significant amount of dust settling on the power-on trigger area of ​​the touch panel can generate a power-on command. Thus, upon receiving the power-on / off command on the touch panel, the air conditioner can obtain the current time and the target user's location information. Specifically, the air conditioner can obtain the current time information through the target user's mobile device, and its location information through its associated radar module. This solution enables accurate acquisition of both time information and the target user's location information. In another scenario, when the touch panel of the floor-standing air conditioner receives a power-on / off command, it can also determine if the current time is within the target user's work hours. If it is, it's estimated the user is not home, and the associated image acquisition module captures images of the environment surrounding the air conditioner to determine if an intruder has entered the home. If an intruder is detected, an intrusion alert is promptly sent to the user to ensure their property safety. In an optimized solution, when the touch panel receives a power-off command, the ambient temperature is also collected by the air conditioner's environmental acquisition device. If the temperature is below the set temperature, a power-off confirmation is sent to the user to verify the command's authenticity. This approach accurately identifies erroneous power-off commands, preventing accidental power-offs due to poor control panel interference.

[0039] Furthermore, after the air conditioner unit obtains the current time information and the target user's location information, it can determine the target user's control intention information by combining the current time information and / or the target user's location information. Specifically, this includes three scenarios: First, the target user's control intention information can be determined by combining the current time information. Second, the target user's control intention information can be determined by combining the target user's location information. Third, the target user's control intention information can be determined by combining the current time information and the target user's location information. Here, if both the current time information and the target user's location information indicate that the user intends to turn the unit on or off, the control intention information is determined to be "intention to turn on or off"; if both the current time information and / or the target user's location information indicate that the user does not intend to turn the unit on or off, the control intention information is determined to be "no intention to turn on or off". This solution allows for the accurate determination of the target user's control intention information by combining the current time information and the target user's location information.

[0040] Furthermore, if the control intent information indicates that there is no intention to turn on or off, the cabinet air conditioner will stop executing the on / off commands received from the touch panel.

[0041] The method for controlling a cabinet air conditioner provided in this disclosure involves obtaining current time information and the location information of the target user when the air conditioner receives a power-on / off command on the touch panel of the cabinet air conditioner. Based on the current time information and / or the target user's location information, the control intention information of the target user is determined. If the control intention information indicates no power-on / off intention, the cabinet air conditioner is controlled to stop executing the power-on / off command received from the touch panel. This approach can accurately determine the target user's control intention information by combining the current time information and / or the target user's location information. This allows the cabinet air conditioner to stop executing the power-on / off command received from the touch panel when the target user does not have a power-on / off intention, effectively avoiding accidental power-on / off switching due to poor anti-interference capabilities of the control panel, and further achieving precise control of the cabinet air conditioner.

[0042] Optionally, in step S12, the cabinet air conditioner determines the target user's control intent information based on the current time information, including:

[0043] The floor-standing air conditioner obtains the target user's on / off habits. If the current time information matches the target user's on / off habits, the floor-standing air conditioner determines that the target user's control intention is to turn the unit on or off. If the current time information does not match the target user's on / off habits, the floor-standing air conditioner determines that the target user's control intention is not to turn the unit on or off.

[0044] In this solution, the on / off habits of the floor-standing air conditioner can be defined as its on / off cycle and / or the time period during which the target user turns the air conditioner on or off. Specifically, the floor-standing air conditioner can extract the target user's on / off habits from historical usage information recorded in its memory. Thus, if the current time information matches the target user's on / off habits, the floor-standing air conditioner determines that the target user's control intention is to turn the air conditioner on or off. For example, if the current time information matches the floor-standing air conditioner's on / off cycle and / or falls within the time period during which the target user turns the air conditioner on or off, the floor-standing air conditioner determines that the target user's control intention is to turn the air conditioner on or off. Conversely, if the current time information does not match the target user's on / off habits, the floor-standing air conditioner determines that the target user's control intention is not to turn the air conditioner on or off. For example, if the current time information does not match the floor-standing air conditioner's on / off cycle and / or does not fall within the time period during which the target user turns the air conditioner on or off, the floor-standing air conditioner determines that the target user's control intention is not to turn the air conditioner on or off. This solution can combine current time information with the target user's on / off habits for the cabinet air conditioner to more accurately determine the target user's control intention information.

[0045] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a method for determining control intent information provided in an embodiment of this disclosure; combined with Figure 2 As shown, optionally, in step S12, the cabinet air conditioner determines the target user's control intention information based on the target user's location information, including:

[0046] S21, the cabinet air conditioner determines the distance information between the target user and the cabinet air conditioner based on the target user's location information.

[0047] S22, the cabinet air conditioner determines the target user's control intention information based on the distance information between the target user and the cabinet air conditioner.

[0048] In this solution, the floor-standing air conditioner can determine the distance between the target user and the air conditioner by combining the target user's location information. Specifically, the air conditioner can obtain its location information through its associated radar module, and calculate the distance between the target user and the air conditioner by combining the location information of both. Furthermore, after determining the distance between the target user and the air conditioner, the air conditioner can further determine the target user's control intention information by combining this distance information. This solution allows for a more accurate determination of the target user's control intention information by combining the distance information between the target user and the air conditioner.

[0049] Optionally, in step S22, the cabinet air conditioner determines the target user's control intention information based on the distance information between the target user and the cabinet air conditioner, including:

[0050] If the distance between the target user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to a distance threshold, the air conditioner determines that the target user's control intention is to turn the unit on or off; if the distance between the target user and the air conditioner is greater than the distance threshold, the air conditioner determines that the target user's control intention is not to turn the unit on or off.

[0051] In this solution, a distance threshold can be pre-stored in the air conditioner unit. As an example, the distance threshold can be 0.8 meters. Understandably, the greater the distance between the target user and the air conditioner unit, the less likely the target user is to touch the touch panel. Therefore, if the distance between the target user and the air conditioner unit is less than or equal to 0.8 meters, it can be determined that the target user is likely to touch the touch panel, and the air conditioner unit can determine that the target user's control intention is to turn the unit on or off. Similarly, if the distance between the target user and the air conditioner unit is greater than 0.8 meters, it can be determined that the target user is not likely to touch the touch panel, and the target user's control intention is not to turn the unit on or off. This solution, by combining the distance information between the target user and the air conditioner unit, can more accurately determine the target user's control intention information.

[0052] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another method for determining control intent information provided in this disclosure embodiment; optionally, when the distance information between the target user and the cabinet air conditioner is less than or equal to a distance threshold, the cabinet air conditioner determines that the target user's control intent information indicates the presence of a power-on / off intent, including:

[0053] S31, if the distance between the target user and the cabinet air conditioner is less than or equal to the distance threshold, the cabinet air conditioner sends a power on / off confirmation message to the target user.

[0054] S32, upon receiving feedback from the target user confirming the start / stop operation, the cabinet air conditioner determines that the target user's control intention information indicates the presence of a start / stop intention.

[0055] In this solution, when the distance between the target user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to a distance threshold, the air conditioner sends a power-on / off confirmation message to the target user. Specifically, the air conditioner can send the confirmation message to the display interface of the nearest appliance to the target user, or it can send it to the user's mobile device via email or SMS. As an example, the confirmation message could be "Should I turn on the air conditioner? Or should I turn it off?" Upon receiving confirmation from the target user, the air conditioner determines that the user intends to power on / off. This solution further integrates the user's feedback to more accurately determine their control intent. In an optimized solution, when the distance between the target user and the air conditioner is less than or equal to the distance threshold, the air conditioner can also determine the duration the user stays at that location. If the duration exceeds a preset time, the air conditioner determines that the user intends to power on / off. Here, the duration could be 3 minutes. In this way, the misjudgment of the control intention information caused by the target user passing by the air conditioner unit can be avoided.

[0056] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another method for controlling a cabinet air conditioner provided in this disclosure embodiment; combined with Figure 4 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another method for controlling a cabinet air conditioner is also provided, including:

[0057] S41, when the control intent information indicates that there is no intention to turn the unit on or off, the cabinet air conditioner obtains environmental interference information around the touch panel.

[0058] S42, the cabinet air conditioner pushes environmental interference information to the target user to remind the target user to clean up environmental interference objects.

[0059] In this solution, when the control intent information indicates no intention to turn the unit on or off, the floor-standing air conditioner acquires environmental interference information from the area surrounding the touch panel. This environmental interference information can include information about environmental contaminants, ambient temperature, and ambient humidity. Specifically, environmental contaminants include floating particles such as dust and willow catkins. Furthermore, the floor-standing air conditioner can push this environmental interference information to the target user to remind them to clean up any contaminants. This solution ensures that the target user is quickly informed of the environmental interference information, enabling them to implement corresponding cleaning strategies and effectively preventing the floor-standing air conditioner from misjudging whether to turn on or off.

[0060] Optionally, embodiments of this disclosure also provide another method for controlling a cabinet air conditioner, including:

[0061] When the control intent information indicates that there is no intention to turn the unit on or off, the cabinet air conditioner performs a sensitivity test on the touch panel to obtain the test results.

[0062] Based on the test results, the touch panel of the cabinet air conditioner is adjusted or replaced.

[0063] In this solution, when the control intent information indicates no power-on / off intention, the floor-standing air conditioner performs a sensitivity test on the touch panel to obtain the test results. These results can be categorized as normal sensitivity, high sensitivity, or low sensitivity. Furthermore, after obtaining the test results, the floor-standing air conditioner can adjust or replace the touch panel based on these results. This solution effectively adjusts the sensitivity of the touch panel to prevent malfunctions caused by poor touch panel interference from recurring.

The determination module 52 is configured to determine the control intention information of the target user based on the current time information and / or the location information of the target user. The control module 53 is configured to control the cabinet air conditioner to stop executing the power-on / off command received from the touch panel when the control intention information indicates that the target user does not have a power-on / off intention.

[0065] The device for controlling a cabinet air conditioner provided in this disclosure obtains current time information and the location information of the target user when a power-on / off command is received from the touch panel of the cabinet air conditioner. Based on the current time information and / or the target user's location information, the device determines the target user's control intention information. If the control intention information indicates no power-on / off intention, the device stops executing the power-on / off command received from the touch panel. This approach can accurately determine the target user's control intention information by combining current time information and / or the target user's location information. This allows the device to stop executing the power-on / off command received from the touch panel when the target user does not have a power-on / off intention, effectively avoiding accidental power-on / off switching due to poor anti-interference capabilities of the control panel, and further achieving precise control of the cabinet air conditioner.

The processor 100 can call logical instructions in the memory 101 to execute the method for controlling the cabinet air conditioner described in the above embodiment.

[0067] Furthermore, the logic instructions in the aforementioned memory 101 can be implemented as software functional units and, when sold or used as independent products, can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium.

[0071] The cabinet air conditioner provided in this embodiment obtains current time information and the target user's location information when a power-on / off command is received on the touch panel of the cabinet air conditioner. Based on the current time information and / or the target user's location information, the control intention information of the target user is determined. If the control intention information indicates no power-on / off intention, the cabinet air conditioner is controlled to stop executing the power-on / off command received on the touch panel.
