[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the hardware operating environment involved in one embodiment of an air conditioning control device.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the hardware operating environment of the air conditioning control device may include: a processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU). The hardware operating environment of the air conditioning control device may also include a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005. The communication bus 1002 is used to realize communication between these components. The user interface 1003 may include a display screen and an input unit such as a keyboard; optionally, the user interface 1003 may also include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface. The network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface (such as Wireless Fidelity, Wi-Fi). The memory 1005 may be high-speed random access memory (RAM) or stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk storage device. The memory 1005 may also optionally be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0028] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the hardware operating environment of the air conditioning control device. The hardware operating environment of the air conditioning control device may include more or fewer components than shown, or a combination of certain components, or different component arrangements.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the memory 1005, which serves as the storage medium, may include an operating system, a data storage module, a network communication module, a user interface module, and an air conditioning control program.

[0030] This invention proposes an air conditioning control method, referring to... Figure 2 The air conditioning control method includes the following steps: Step S100, acquiring current occupant data and current environmental data; S200, determining the air conditioning target state based on the current occupant data and the current environmental data; S201, adjusting the air conditioning operating state based on the air conditioning target state. This air conditioning control method can adjust the air conditioning according to the current occupant data and current environmental data, which is more conducive to adapting the air conditioning to different occupants, that is, avoiding adjusting the vehicle interior temperature to a uniform temperature according to the input target problem, thereby improving the occupant's user experience.

[0031] Optionally, the current occupant data includes at least one of the following: number of people, occupant distribution, and occupant attribute information. The occupant attribute information includes at least one of the following: age, mood, heart rate, respiratory rate, fatigue level, and clothing index. The current environmental data includes at least one of the following: light intensity, rainfall, outside temperature, occupant body surface temperature, PM2.5 data, door opening / closing degree, window opening / closing degree, altitude, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and ultraviolet radiation intensity. The step of adjusting the air conditioning operating state according to the air conditioning target state includes adjusting the air conditioning compressor state (e.g., air volume, on / off state), adjusting the air vents (e.g., opening / closing degree, air angle), adjusting the windows (e.g., sunshade lifting, window lifting), adjusting the seats (e.g., seat heating, seat air blowing), adjusting the internal / external circulation system, adjusting the purification system (e.g., PM2.5 purification system), and adjusting the fragrance system.

[0032] Information on the number of people and occupant distribution can be obtained through image recognition after being captured by an in-vehicle camera. Occupant attribute information, including age, mood, fatigue level, and clothing index, can be pre-identified by recognizing corresponding image characteristics (such as facial wrinkles, expressions of coldness or irritability, eye squinting, and the brightness of facial oiliness, as well as clothing type). Different ages, moods, fatigue levels, and clothing indices can then be assigned based on these image characteristics. Heart rate, respiratory rate, and current environmental data can be obtained through appropriate sensing devices, such as heart rate monitors, wristbands, light sensors, rain sensors, outside temperature sensors, infrared sensors, PM2.5 sensors, and vehicle status sensors, to obtain information on heart rate, respiratory rate, light intensity, rainfall, outside temperature, occupant body surface temperature, PM2.5 levels, door opening / closing degree, and window opening / closing degree, respectively. Some information can also be obtained via the network, such as altitude, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and ultraviolet radiation intensity, which can be obtained by connecting to the network based on the vehicle's current location.

[0033] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment of the air conditioning control method of the present invention, the step of determining the air conditioning target state based on the current occupant data and the current environment data includes: Step S210, determining the first score of the current occupant data and the second score of the current environment data according to a preset assignment relationship; taking the emotional information in the occupant attribute information of the current occupant data as an example, the occupant's expressions can be sorted in advance from most uncomfortable to most comfortable, and then corresponding to a preset comfort range according to positive scores, such as corresponding to various expressions in advance according to scores from 0 to 10. The degree of realism of the preset assignment relationship to the actual situation can be improved by machine learning. Step S220, performing a weighted summation on the first score and the second score, wherein the weighting coefficient can be pre-integrated based on the actual data; Step S230, determining the air conditioning target state based on the obtained weighted summation result. Determining the air conditioning target state based on the obtained weighted summation result can comprehensively consider more information related to the vehicle, which is more conducive to improving the comfort of the occupants from more angles and more comprehensively.

[0034] Optionally, when the current member data includes number of people, passenger distribution information, and passenger attribute information, the step of determining the first score of the current passenger data and the second score of the current environment data according to a preset assignment relationship includes: determining the first score of the current passenger data according to the passenger attribute information, wherein the data dimension of the first score is greater than or equal to 1, and the age information, the emotion information, the heart rate information, the respiratory rate information, the fatigue level information, and the clothing index information each correspond to a data dimension; the step of weighted summation of the first score and the second score includes: determining a weight series according to the number of people and passenger distribution information, wherein the weight series includes a weight coefficient corresponding to each data dimension.

[0035] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment of the air conditioning control method of the present invention, the air conditioning control method further includes: if the first score is outside the first preset comfort range and / or the second score is outside the second preset comfort range, then the step of adjusting the air conditioning operation state according to the air conditioning target state (step S300) includes: step S310, determining the air conditioning change gradient according to the air conditioning target state to gradually change the air conditioning state. The aforementioned first preset comfort range and second preset comfort range can be corresponding to positive scores, such as scores from 0 to 10, with 0 to 3 points being outside the comfort range. If the first score is outside the first preset comfort range, it indicates that the occupant's state is relatively unstable, such as being angry; if the second score is outside the second preset comfort range, it indicates that the external environment is relatively harsh, such as high temperature weather; at this time, determining the air conditioning change gradient according to the air conditioning target state to gradually change the air conditioning state can avoid quantities that are prone to sudden changes in the current occupant data, such as emotions, causing drastic changes in air conditioning operation and shortening the lifespan of the air conditioning; it can also avoid occupants mistaking their own needs for rapid cooling due to emotional information such as impatience, thereby reducing the risk of occupants catching a cold. In addition, the air conditioning control method at this time can gradually adapt to the current environmental data by determining the way the air conditioning changes gradient to gradually change the air conditioning state, reducing the need for the occupants' bodies to quickly adapt to the environmental conditions, and avoiding the rapid adjustment of the occupants' bodies, such as avoiding the air conditioning from adjusting to extremely low temperatures in a very short time.

[0036] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment of the air conditioning control method of the present invention, the air conditioning control method further includes: step S250, displaying the target state of the air conditioning, such as displaying it through the instrument panel or the in-vehicle screen, or broadcasting it through voice, thereby increasing interaction with the members.

[0037] Optionally, the air conditioning control method further includes: after the step of displaying the air conditioning target state (step S250) and before the step of adjusting the air conditioning operating state according to the air conditioning target state (step S300), acquiring occupant update data, wherein the occupant update data includes at least one of emotion information, heart rate information, respiratory rate information, and fatigue level information (step S260); and adjusting the air conditioning target state according to the comparison value between the occupant update data and the current occupant data (step S270).

[0038] If passengers are emotionally agitated (e.g., agitated or impatient), their subjective expectations of the air conditioning's operating status are often less objective, such as a very low temperature. In this case, displaying the target air conditioning status and then obtaining updated passenger data can help alleviate their emotions (excitement or impatience), thus making their subjective expectations of the air conditioning's operating status more objective and better suited to their physical needs.

[0039] It should be noted that the above methods and steps can be used in combination as long as they do not contradict each other.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also provides an air conditioning control device, comprising: an acquisition module 20 for acquiring current occupant data and current environmental data; a determination module 30 for determining a target air conditioning state based on the current occupant data and the current environmental data; and an adjustment module 40 for adjusting the air conditioning operating state based on the target air conditioning state. The air conditioning control device can adjust the air conditioning according to the current occupant data and the current environmental data, making it more suitable for different occupants and improving their user experience.

[0041] The air conditioning control device corresponding to the present invention includes: a memory, a processor, and an air conditioning control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the air conditioning control program is configured to implement the steps of the above-described air conditioning control method.

[0042] The present invention also provides a driving device, such as a gasoline vehicle, an electric vehicle, or a hybrid vehicle, the driving device including an air conditioner, the air conditioner being used to operate according to the above-described air conditioning control method.

[0043] The present invention also provides a computer storage medium storing an air conditioning control program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described air conditioning control method.
