[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the embodiments of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0032] This application discloses a home appliance linkage method and related products based on a massage chair. It can automatically rotate the massage chair when other home appliances are used on it, simplifying the chair's rotation adjustment. A detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please see Figure 1, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of a home appliance linkage method based on a massage chair, as disclosed in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a massage chair 10 and a home appliance 20, which are communicatively connected. The massage chair 10 may include a seat body 110 and a rotating shaft 120. One end of the rotating shaft 120 is rotatably connected to the seat body 110, and the other end is rotatably connected to the ground. The rotating shaft 120 is used to rotate the seat body 110, thereby changing its orientation. The seat body 110 can detect the device information of the home appliance 20 and determine the placement area of ​​the home appliance 20 based on this information. The seat body 110 determines the target rotation angle based on the placement area of ​​the home appliance 20, and controls the rotating shaft 120 according to this target rotation angle, causing the rotating shaft 120 to rotate the seat body 110 through the target rotation angle, thus orienting it toward the home appliance.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a home appliance linkage method disclosed in an embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to... Figure 1 Massage chair 10. (Example) Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0035] 210. The main body of the chair detects the equipment information of the home appliances and determines the placement area of ​​the home appliances based on the equipment information.

[0036] In this embodiment, the home appliance can receive a start command, which can be manually input by the user or input via a remote control or other device. Upon receiving the start command, the home appliance begins operation and simultaneously sends its own device information to the massage chair.

[0037] In this embodiment, after the massage chair detects the device information of the home appliance, the seat body in the massage chair determines the placement area of ​​the home appliance based on the detected device information.

[0038] Home furnishings and chairs can divide the room into zones. After the zones are divided, the chairs and furniture can determine their placement areas based on the zones they are in. Specifically, they can detect their own zones through cameras or sensors; or the chairs and furniture can display a zone division diagram of the room through a display screen or other display components, and then receive the zone information input by the user based on the displayed zone division diagram to determine the placement area of ​​the furniture.

[0039] In some embodiments, the massage chair may be equipped with sensor devices, which may include at least a weight sensor and a temperature sensor.

[0040] The process of detecting equipment information for home appliances, including the main body of the chair, may include the following steps:

[0041] The seat body detects the weight and temperature on the seat body through sensor devices. If the weight is greater than or equal to a preset weight threshold and / or the temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature threshold, the seat body determines that the user is on the seat body and activates the detection function to detect the device information of the home appliance.

[0042] By implementing the above-described method, the chair body can activate the detection of home appliance information only when a user is on the chair body, thereby adjusting the orientation of the chair body on the massage chair. This avoids the massage chair automatically adjusting the orientation of the chair body when the user is not on the massage chair, effectively reducing the power consumption of the massage chair.

[0043] In some embodiments, device information includes device identifier and output information;

[0044] The main body of the chair determines the placement area of ​​home appliances based on the equipment information, including:

[0045] The main body of the seat determines the type of home appliance based on the device identification, and then determines the target sensing device based on the device type;

[0046] The main body of the chair detects the output information through a target sensing device and determines the placement area of ​​the home appliances based on the output information.

[0047] In this embodiment of the application, the device information sent from the home appliance to the massage chair may include at least a device identifier and output information. The device identifier corresponds one-to-one with the home appliance. For example, if the home appliance is a television, the device identifier may be "television"; if the home appliance is an air conditioner, the device identifier may be "air-conditioner"; if the home appliance includes two air conditioners, the device identifiers may be "air-conditioner1" and "air-conditioner2" respectively.

[0048] After detecting the device identifier of a home appliance, the chair body can determine the device type based on the identifier. Generally, device types can be categorized according to the input / output format and content of the output. For example, a television and speakers can both be output devices, and their output content is multimedia data; therefore, a television and speakers can be the same device type. However, a television and an air conditioner can both be output devices, but the television outputs multimedia data while the air conditioner outputs either cooling or heating; therefore, they may not be the same device type. Specifically, the user can pre-classify other home appliances on the massage chair, and the massage chair stores the device identifiers for each of the different device types. The chair body can then match the detected home appliance's device identifier with the stored identifiers for each of the different device types to determine the device type of the detected home appliance.

[0049] The massage chair is equipped with various sensors. After determining the type of home appliance, the chair body identifies the appropriate sensor, known as the target sensor. The chair body then detects the output information from the home appliance using the target sensor and determines its placement area based on this information. The output information is not necessarily in data format. For example, if the home appliance is an air conditioner, the chair body can determine whether the target sensor is a temperature sensor or a gas sensor, and use these sensors to detect the air conditioner's vents, thus determining its placement area. If the home appliance is a television, the chair body can determine whether the target sensor is a sound sensor or a camera, and use either the sound sensor to detect the location of the sound source or the camera to detect the location of the display showing multimedia data, thus determining the television's placement area.

[0050] By using the above embodiments, the sensing device used for detection can be determined according to the type of home appliances, thereby detecting the placement area of ​​the home appliances and improving the accuracy of the determined placement area of ​​the home appliances.

[0051] 220. The target rotation angle of the seat body is determined according to the placement area.

[0052] In this embodiment, the seat body can determine the target rotation angle of the seat body according to the placement area of ​​the home equipment. The seat body determines the angle between the current orientation of the seat body and the home equipment according to the placement area of ​​the home equipment. The massage chair determines the target rotation angle of the massage chair according to the determined target orientation of the seat body and the angle between the current orientation of the massage chair and the home equipment.

[0053] 230. Rotate the main body of the seat by the target rotation angle so that the rotated main body of the seat faces the home appliance.

[0054] In this embodiment, the seat body controls the rotation axis according to the determined target rotation angle, so that the rotation axis drives the seat body to rotate, and after the rotation axis drives the seat body to rotate through the target rotation angle, the seat body faces the home equipment that the user wants to use.

[0055] By using the above embodiments, the massage chair can be automatically turned when other home appliances are used on it, simplifying the way the massage chair is turned.

[0056] In some embodiments, the process of rotating the seat body by a target rotation angle to bring the rotated seat body toward the home appliance includes:

[0057] If a rotation angle adjustment command is received, the seat body controls the rotation axis to continue rotating or stop, calculates the angle difference between the rotation angle already rotated and the target rotation angle, and binds the angle difference to the home appliance;

[0058] Once the seat body detects the device information of the same home appliance again and determines the placement area of ​​the home appliance based on the device information, the seat body determines the target rotation angle of the seat body based on the placement area and the angle difference of the binding.

[0059] In this embodiment, the seat body can record the angle of the user's desired seat body orientation, and determine the target rotation angle based on the recorded angle of the user's desired seat body orientation when using the same home appliance again. This allows the seat body to be rotated to the user's desired orientation more effectively, thus improving the intelligence level of the massage chair.

[0060] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another home appliance linkage method disclosed in an embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to... Figure 1 Massage chair 10. Home appliances may include multimedia output devices, environmental control devices, and other devices. The main body of the massage chair includes at least a head area and a body area, which are movably connected. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0061] 310. The main body of the chair detects the equipment information of the home appliances and determines the placement area of ​​the home appliances based on the equipment information.

[0062] 320. If the home appliance is a multimedia output device, the massage chair determines the target rotation angle of the massage chair based on the current orientation of the seat body and the placement area of ​​the home appliance.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the chair body determines that the home appliance is a multimedia output device, the chair body determines the target rotation angle of the chair body based on the current orientation of the chair body and the placement area of ​​the home appliance. The multimedia output device includes devices such as a television, speakers, and projection screens. For example, when the home appliance is a speaker, the chair body determines the speaker as a multimedia output device. At this time, the chair body can establish a virtual horizontal coordinate system in the room where the massage chair and the home appliance are located. The chair body determines its orientation in the virtual horizontal coordinate system, which is the current orientation of the chair body, such as 90°. The chair body then determines a shortest path, such as 45°, based on the placement area of ​​the speaker and the massage chair. The minimum angle between this shortest path and the orientation of the chair body in the virtual coordinate system is the target rotation angle of the chair body, 45°.

[0064] In this embodiment of the application, when the home appliance is a multimedia output device, the target rotation angle is determined based on the current orientation of the seat body and the placement area of ​​the home appliance, which can improve the efficiency and accuracy of determining the target rotation angle.

[0065] In some embodiments, if the home appliance is an environmental control device, the seat body determines the target rotation angle of the seat body based on the current orientation of the seat body and the reverse area, wherein the distance between the reverse area and the massage chair is a first distance, the distance between the placement area and the massage chair is a second distance, the first distance and the second distance are equal, and the reverse area, the massage chair and the placement area are located on a straight line.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the chair body determines that the home appliance is an environmental control device, the chair body determines the target rotation angle of the chair body based on its current orientation and the opposing area. The environmental control device includes at least air conditioners, heaters, and humidifiers. The opposing area is aligned with the placement area of ​​the massage chair and the home appliance, and the massage chair is located between the opposing area and the placement area of ​​the home appliance. For example, when the home appliance is an air conditioner, the massage chair determines that the air conditioner is the environmental control device. In this case, the chair body can establish a virtual horizontal coordinate system in the room where the massage chair and the home appliance are located. The chair body determines its orientation in the virtual horizontal coordinate system, which is its current orientation, such as 90°. The seat body then determines a shortest path based on its own placement area and the opposite area. For example, the seat body determines a first shortest path of 60° based on the placement area of ​​the air conditioner and the placement area of ​​the massage chair. Then, the seat body determines a second shortest path of -120° based on the direction area of ​​the air conditioner and the placement area of ​​the massage chair. The minimum angle between this second shortest path and the orientation of the seat body in the virtual coordinate system is the target rotation angle of the seat body, which is 150°.

[0067] In some embodiments, if the home appliance is another type of appliance, the seat body determines the target rotation angle to be 0.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the seat body determines that the home appliance is another device, the seat body directly sets the target rotation angle to 0°. The other devices include at least smart doors, smart curtains, and smart chandeliers. For example, when the home appliance is a smart door, the seat body determines that the smart door's home appliance is another device. In this case, the seat body does not need to change its orientation to face or turn away from the smart door; therefore, the seat body directly sets the target rotation angle to 0°, meaning there is no need to control the seat body to rotate.

[0069] In the above embodiments, when the home appliance is an environmental control device, the determined target rotation angle allows the massage chair's main body to face away from the home appliance, preventing the user from being directly exposed to the airflow from the appliance, such as an air conditioner. When the home appliance is another output device, there is no need to adjust the orientation of the main body, reducing the massage chair's power consumption. In summary, this improves the user experience when using different home appliances on the massage chair while reducing unnecessary power consumption.

[0070] 330. Rotate the main body of the seat by the target rotation angle so that the rotated main body of the seat faces the home appliance.

[0071] 340. If the home appliance is a multimedia output device, the main body of the chair obtains the height information of the multimedia output component in the smart home.

[0072] In this embodiment, if the home appliance is a multimedia output device, after the massage chair changes its target orientation so that the chair body faces the home appliance, the massage chair also acquires the height information of the multimedia output components in the smart home. These multimedia output components are parts of the home appliance used to output multimedia content, such as the monitor in a television, the speaker in a speaker, and the projection screen in a projector. Specifically, the chair body can determine the height information of the multimedia output components in the home appliance through a camera or sensor. For example, the chair body can use a camera to capture images of the television monitor and the wall where the monitor is located, and then determine the height of a point on the monitor through image recognition.

[0073] 350. The seat body adjusts the head area according to the height information of the multimedia output component so that the vertical height of the head area is equal to the height of the multimedia output component.

[0074] In this embodiment, the massage chair's seat body includes a head area and a main body area. The main body area can be further divided into at least two areas, which are not specifically limited here. After obtaining the height information of the multimedia output component in the home appliance, the seat body controls the head area based on this height information. Specifically, the height of the head area on the seat body can be adjusted by folding or flattening the seat body, so that the height of a certain point in the head area of ​​the seat body is equal to the height of a certain point in the multimedia output component of the home appliance. The point in the head area of ​​the seat body and the point in the multimedia output component of the home appliance can be fixed and set by the user, which is not specifically limited here.

[0075] By adopting the above embodiments, the head height of the user can be adjusted by adjusting the head area of ​​the main body of the seat, thereby enabling the user to better receive multimedia content output by the home device and further improving the user experience.

[0076] In some embodiments, a smart massage pad is provided on the massage chair, and the massage chair is communicatively connected to the smart massage pad. The smart massage pad has at least a head support portion and a main support portion, with a deformable area between the head support portion and the main support portion. The deformable area includes an airbag. The head support portion of the smart massage pad corresponds to the head area on the seat body of the massage chair, and the main support portion of the smart massage pad corresponds to the main body area on the massage chair. Adjusting the head area of ​​the seat body according to the height information of the multimedia output component may include the following steps:

[0077] The rotation angle corresponding to the head area is detected by sensing devices.

[0078] The rotation angle is sent to the smart massage pad so that the smart massage pad adjusts the total amount of gas in the airbags in the deformation area between the head support and the main support according to the rotation angle.

[0079] In this embodiment, the smart massage pad is communicatively connected to the massage chair. This connection can be wireless, such as via Bluetooth, WiFi, or a mobile network, or it can be wired; no specific limitation is made here. The smart massage pad can receive rotation angles sent by the massage chair. The rotation angle refers to the angle difference between the angle of the head area on the main body of the massage chair before and after height adjustment. The area angle is the angle between the head area and the main body area of ​​the massage chair.

[0080] In this embodiment of the application, for obtaining the rotation angle corresponding to the head area, the massage chair can be equipped with a sensing device for measuring angular velocity, such as a gyroscope or an angular velocity sensor such as an MPU6050 module. The rotation angle corresponding to each folding area is calculated by measuring the angular velocity of each folding area on the massage chair.

[0081] In this embodiment, after receiving the rotation angle sent by the massage chair, the smart massage pad adjusts the total gas volume in the airbags within the deformable area between the head support and the main support based on the rotation angle. The smart massage pad may include a smart massage pad control module, which specifically includes an air pressure detector, an air pump, and air valves. The smart massage pad uses the air pressure detector to detect the real-time air pressure value of the airbags within the deformable area to determine the current total gas volume. After determining the current total gas volume based on the detected real-time air pressure value, the smart massage pad control module can control one or more air valves on the airbag to open, and control the air pump to adjust the total gas volume in the airbag through the opened air valves. During the adjustment of the total gas volume in the airbag, the smart massage pad can use the air pressure detector to detect the real-time air pressure value of the airbag to determine the real-time total gas volume. When the total gas volume of the airbag is adjusted to a preset range or preset value, the smart massage pad control module can control one or more air valves on the airbag to close and stop the air pump. For example, during the height adjustment of the head area of ​​the massage chair's seat body, the angle between the head area and the main body area can increase or decrease. When the angle decreases, the head support and main body support on the smart massage pad gradually move closer together; when the angle increases, they gradually move further apart. In other words, when the angle decreases, the airbags in the deformation area are compressed. Since the airbags are sealed spaces, their volume decreases relatively. After the head area height is adjusted, the real-time air pressure of the airbags in the deformation area of ​​the smart massage pad increases, causing the deformation area of ​​the smart massage pad, as well as the head support and main body support, to deform. At this point, the smart massage pad needs to open the air valve on the airbag in the deformation area and control the air pump to deflate the airbag, thereby reducing the total amount of gas in the target airbag. When the angle between the head support and the main support increases, the airbags in the deformation area deploy. Since the airbags are enclosed spaces, their volume increases. After the head area height on the massage chair's main body is adjusted, the real-time air pressure in the airbags within the deformation area of ​​the smart massage pad decreases, causing the deformation area of ​​the smart massage pad, as well as the head support and main support, to wrinkle and deform. At this point, the smart massage pad needs to open the air valve on the airbag and control the air pump to inflate the airbag, thereby increasing the total amount of gas in the airbag.

[0082] Using the above embodiments, a smart massage pad can be installed on the massage chair to improve comfort. When the head area of ​​the main body of the chair is adjusted, the smart massage pad can be adjusted accordingly to avoid excessive pressure on the smart massage pad and further improve comfort.

[0083] 360°, detecting the distance between the seat body and home appliances.

[0084] In this embodiment, if the type of home appliance is a multimedia output device, after adjusting the head area of ​​the massage chair body so that the height of the head area of ​​the chair body is equal to the height of the multimedia output component in the home appliance, the chair body also detects the straight-line distance between the massage chair and the home appliance. Specifically, the chair body can use a sensing device to detect the distance between the massage chair and the home appliance. For example, the chair body can use an ultrasonic sensor to emit ultrasonic waves to the location of the home appliance, and determine the straight-line distance between the massage chair and the home appliance by the ultrasonic wave return time.

[0085] In this embodiment of the application, the distance between the massage chair and the home appliance can specifically be the distance between a point on the massage chair and a point on the home appliance. Both the point on the massage chair and the point on the home appliance can be preset by the user.

[0086] 370. If the distance is greater than the distance threshold, a control signal is sent to the home appliance to increase the volume and / or brightness of the multimedia output by the home appliance.

[0087] In this embodiment, after the seat body determines the straight-line distance between itself and the home appliance, the seat body compares this distance value with a preset distance threshold. If the distance value is less than or equal to the distance threshold, the seat body does not need to send a control signal to the home appliance. If the distance value is greater than the distance threshold, the seat body generates and sends a control signal to the home appliance. After receiving the control signal, if the multimedia output by the home appliance is audio, the home appliance increases the volume of the output audio according to the control signal. If the multimedia output by the home appliance is video, the home appliance increases the volume and brightness of the output audio according to the control signal. If the multimedia output by the home appliance is an image, the home appliance increases the brightness of the output image according to the control signal.

[0088] Using the above embodiments, when the distance between the seat body and the massage chair and the home appliance is too large, the control of the home appliance to increase the volume and / or brightness of the output multimedia can improve the output effect of the multimedia and avoid the situation where the user cannot receive the multimedia content well due to the excessive distance.

[0089] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first embodiment of the massage chair disclosed in this application. In this embodiment, the massage chair includes a seat body and a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the seat body, and the other end is rotatably connected to the ground. The rotating shaft is used to drive the seat body to rotate. Figure 4 As shown, the seat body 400 may include: an information detection unit 410, an angle determination unit 420, and a rotation control unit 430.

[0090] The information detection unit 410 is used to detect the equipment information of home appliances and determine the placement area of ​​the home appliances based on the equipment information.

[0091] Angle determination unit 420 is used to determine the target rotation angle of the massage chair based on the placement area.

[0092] The rotation control unit 430 is used to rotate the target rotation angle so that the rotated seat body faces the home appliance.

[0093] In some embodiments, the massage chair may be equipped with sensor devices, which may include at least a weight sensor and a temperature sensor.

[0094] The information detection unit 410 is also used for:

[0095] The massage chair is monitored by sensor devices to detect the weight and temperature. If the weight is greater than or equal to a preset weight threshold and / or the temperature is greater than or equal to a preset temperature threshold, the user is confirmed to be on the massage chair, and the detection function is activated to detect the device information of the home appliance.

[0096] By implementing the above-described method, the chair body can activate the detection of home appliance information only when a user is on the chair body, thereby adjusting the orientation of the chair body on the massage chair. This avoids the massage chair automatically adjusting the orientation of the chair body when the user is not on the massage chair, effectively reducing the power consumption of the massage chair.

[0097] In some embodiments, device information includes device identifier and output information;

[0098] The information detection unit 410 is also used for:

[0099] The device type of the home appliance is determined based on the device identification, and the target sensing device is determined based on the device type.

[0100] The target sensing device detects the output information and determines the placement area of ​​home appliances based on the output information.

[0101] The system can determine the appropriate sensors for detection based on the type of home appliances, thereby improving the accuracy of identifying the placement area of ​​the home appliances.

[0102] In some embodiments, the angle determining unit 420 is further configured to:

[0103] If the home appliance is a multimedia output device, the target rotation angle of the chair body is determined based on the current orientation of the chair body and the placement area of ​​the home appliance.

[0104] When the home appliance is a multimedia output device, the determined target rotation angle allows the massage chair's main body to face the home appliance, enabling the user to better receive the multimedia content output by the home appliance.

[0105] In some embodiments, the angle determining unit 420 is further configured to:

[0106] If a rotation angle adjustment command is received, the seat body controls the rotation axis to continue rotating or stop, calculates the angle difference between the rotation angle already rotated and the target rotation angle, and binds the angle difference to the home appliance;

[0107] Once the seat body detects the device information of the same home appliance again, and determines the device type and placement area of ​​the home appliance based on the device information, the seat body determines the target rotation angle of the seat body based on the placement area and the angle difference of the binding.

[0108] In this embodiment, the seat body can record the angle of the user's desired seat body orientation, and determine the target rotation angle based on the recorded angle of the user's desired seat body orientation when using the same home appliance again. This allows the seat body to be rotated to the user's desired orientation more effectively, thus improving the intelligence level of the massage chair.

[0109] Among them, implementation Figure 4 The seat shown can automatically turn the massage chair when other home appliances are used on it, simplifying the way the massage chair is turned.

[0110] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment of the massage chair disclosed in this application. Figure 5 The massage chair shown is made of Figure 4 The massage chair shown is an optimized version. Figure 4 Compared to the seat body shown, Figure 5 The seat body shown may also include:

[0111] The seat body includes at least a head area and a main body area, which are movably connected;

[0112] The height adjustment unit 404 is used to rotate the target rotation angle in the rotation control unit 430 so that the rotated seat body faces the home device. If the home device is a multimedia output device, the height information of the multimedia output component in the smart home is obtained.

[0113] The head area is adjusted according to the height information of the multimedia output component so that the vertical height of the head area is equal to the height of the multimedia output component.

[0114] The ability to adjust the head area of ​​the seat body and thus the user's head height allows for better reception of multimedia content from home appliances, further enhancing the user experience.

[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the main body of the seat also includes:

[0116] The signal amplification unit 405 is used to detect the distance between the head region and the home appliance after the height adjustment unit 404 controls the head region to move according to the height information of the multimedia output component so that the height of the head region in the vertical direction is equal to the height of the multimedia output component.

[0117] If the distance is greater than the distance threshold, a control signal is sent to the home appliance to increase the volume and / or brightness of the multimedia output by the home appliance.

[0118] When the distance between the massage chair and home appliances is too large, controlling the home appliances to increase the volume and / or brightness of the multimedia output can improve the multimedia output effect and prevent users from not being able to receive multimedia content well due to excessive distance.

[0119] In some embodiments, a smart massage pad is provided on the massage chair, and the massage chair is communicatively connected to the smart massage pad. The smart massage pad has at least a head support portion and a main body support portion, and a deformable area is provided between the head support portion and the main body support portion. The deformable area includes an airbag. The head support portion of the smart massage pad is correspondingly disposed to the head area on the seat body of the massage chair, and the main body support portion of the smart massage pad is correspondingly disposed to the main body area on the massage chair.

[0120] The height adjustment unit 404 is also used for:

[0121] The rotation angle corresponding to the head area is detected by sensing devices.

[0122] The rotation angle is sent to the smart massage pad so that the smart massage pad adjusts the total amount of gas in the airbags in the deformation area between the head support and the main support according to the rotation angle.

[0123] The ability to install a smart massage pad on a massage chair enhances comfort. When the head area of ​​the massage chair is adjusted, the smart massage pad can adjust accordingly, preventing excessive pressure and further improving comfort.

[0140] In some embodiments, the seat body includes at least a head area and a body area, and the head area and the body area are movably connected.

[0141] After controlling the rotation axis according to the target rotation angle to change the target orientation of the seat body, the processor 620 also performs the following steps:

[0142] If the home appliance is a multimedia output device, then obtain the height information of the multimedia output component in the smart home.

[0143] The head area is adjusted according to the height information of the multimedia output component so that the vertical height of the head area is equal to the height of the multimedia output component.

[0144] In some embodiments, after the processor 620 controls the head region to move according to the height information of the multimedia output component so that the vertical height of the head region is equal to the height of the multimedia output component, the processor 620 further performs the following steps:

[0145] Detect the distance between the device and the home appliance;
