[0028] The term "corresponding" can refer to an association or binding relationship, A corresponding to B means that there is an association or binding relationship between A and B.

[0029] In addition, the term "set" should be broadly understood.

[0030] It should be noted that the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0031] The air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a camera, a radar sensor and a processor. The camera is configured to capture indoor images. The radar sensor is configured to detect the position of the pet and a target position. The processor is electrically connected to the camera and the radar sensor. The processor can receive and identify the indoor images captured by the camera, detect and calculate the hair floating rate, receive the data of the radar sensor to determine the position of the pet and the target position, and control the operation of the air conditioner to remove the hair of the pet floating in the indoor air.

[0032] In combination with the air conditioner described above, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling the air conditioner.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0034] In S101, the processor determines the position of the pet.

[0035] In S102, the processor detects the hair floating rate of a plurality of regions around the position and determines a first region with the maximum hair floating rate. The plurality of regions are spatial regions.

[0036] The spatial regions can be divided according to the rotation angle of the camera. If the rotation angle of the camera is 0°-180°, the region corresponding to the region photographed by the camera every 20° rotation can be set as one region. The spatial regions can also be divided according to the rotation angle of the camera and the air outlet width of the air conditioner. Since the air outlet width is the largest when the air conditioner blows air to the front, the air outlet width becomes smaller and smaller as the vertical air deflector rotates left and right. Therefore, the plurality of regions can be determined according to the change of the air outlet width in combination with the rotation angle of the camera. For example, the air outlet width of the air conditioner is the largest when the camera rotates to 90°, and the air outlet width of the air conditioner is the smallest when the camera rotates to 0° and 180°. Therefore, the shooting angle can be set to 0°, 5°, 13°, 25°, 40°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 140°, 155°, 167°, 175° and 180°, and the region corresponding to the region photographed at each angle corresponds to one region. Of course, other ways of dividing regions can also be used according to requirements.

[0037] In S103, the processor controls the operation of the air conditioner to remove the hair in the first region.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the pets of the cat family and the dog family often have the phenomenon of hair loss in daily life, especially in the case of intense exercise, the hair falling and floating in the indoor air will increase. The air conditioner can detect the hair floating rate in the air in the region around the pet, control the air conditioner to remove the hair in the region with the maximum hair floating rate. Thus, the pet hair floating in the indoor air can be effectively cleaned, and the pet hair can be reduced.

[0039] Optionally, the processor determining the pet's location includes: a camera capturing indoor images. The processor identifying the captured images to determine the amount of hair floating in the room. If there is floating hair in the room, the processor identifies the pet's location. Image recognition technology can be used to identify hair in the captured indoor images. Indoor images can be captured at regular intervals. Image capture can also be set to occur by time period. If there is floating hair in the room, it indicates that the pet may be running, jumping, or shaking indoors. In this case, there is a relatively large amount of floating hair near the pet's location. Thus, by detecting the hair floating rate in the air around the pet, the air conditioner is controlled to remove hair in the area with the highest hair floating rate. This effectively removes pet hair floating in the indoor air, reducing the amount of pet hair that falls everywhere.

[0040] Optionally, the presence of floating hair in a room is when the hair floating rate in any indoor area is greater than a set hair floating rate threshold. In this way, the operation of the air conditioner can be reduced when the hair floating rate is low, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0041] Optionally, the processor detecting the hair floating rate of multiple areas around the position includes: the camera collecting images of N areas around the position, where N is an integer greater than 1. The processor divides the image of the i-th area into n blocks, where i=1, ..., N. The processor identifies the number m of blocks containing hair in the image of the i-th area i Processor Computing Get the hair floating rate β of the i-th region i . Each area corresponds to an image. The value range of N can be [2, 10]. Optionally, N is 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10. The value of N can be set independently according to needs. The value range of n can be [50, 200]. Optionally, n is 50, 100 or 200. In this way, the hair floating situation in each area can be accurately reflected, and the accuracy of hair floating rate detection is improved. Therefore, by controlling the air conditioner to start hair removal in the area with the largest hair floating rate. Furthermore, it can effectively clean the pet hair floating in the indoor air and reduce the pet hair from falling everywhere.

[0042] Optionally, the processor controlling the operation of the air conditioner includes: the processor determining a target location based on the first area; and the processor controlling the air conditioner to blow air to direct pet hair in the first area toward the target location. The target location is a location on the ground corresponding to the first area. Thus, by blowing the pet hair toward a fixed target location, the amount of pet hair that falls everywhere can be reduced.

[0043] Combine Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0044] In S201, the processor determines the position of the pet.

[0045] In S202, the processor detects the hair floating rate of a plurality of areas around the position, and determines a first area with the maximum hair floating rate.

[0046] In S203, the processor determines a target position according to the first area.

[0047] In S204, the processor controls the air conditioner to blow the hair in the first area to the target position.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cat and dog pets often have hair loss in daily life, especially in the case of intense exercise. The hair falling and floating in the indoor air will increase. The air conditioner detects the hair floating rate in the air around the pet area, determines an area with the maximum hair floating rate, and blows the hair to a target position corresponding to the area through air supply. Thus, the pet hair floating in the indoor air can be effectively cleaned, and the pet hair falling everywhere can be reduced.

[0049] Optionally, the processor determining the target position according to the first area comprises: the radar sensor detects a ground position corresponding to the first area, and obtains a plurality of open ground positions. The processor determines the open ground position farthest from the air conditioner as the target position. The radar sensor can detect whether the indoor ground position corresponding to the first area is open, so that the open ground position can be determined. Since the detected open ground position area may be large, it is not conducive to determine the target position. Therefore, the processor can divide the detected open ground position into a plurality of open ground positions according to the requirement. Since the floating hair in the first area needs to be blown to the target position, if the target position is too close to the air conditioner, the air conditioner can only blow the hair floating in the air between the target position to the target position. Therefore, the open ground position farthest from the air conditioner is determined as the target position. In this way, most of the floating hair in the first area can be blown to the target position, and the floating hair can be concentrated and processed. Thus, the pet hair floating in the indoor air can be effectively cleaned, and the pet hair falling everywhere can be reduced.

[0050] Optionally, the processor controls the air conditioner to blow air, including: the processor determines a blowing angle according to the target position; and the processor adjusts the angle of the air deflector according to the blowing angle, and starts the blowing operation. The blowing angle is an angle of blowing air to the target position. In this way, the air outlet of the air conditioner can blow air to the target position. In the process of falling of the hair floating in the first area, the hair can be blown to the target position along with the blowing operation of the air conditioner. Thus, the pet hair floating in the indoor air can be effectively cleaned, and the pet hair falling everywhere can be reduced.

[0051] Optionally, the processor controls the air conditioner to blow air, including: in a case where the blowing operation reaches a first time length, the processor stops the blowing operation. The first time length is [3min, 30min]. Optionally, the first time length is 3min, 10min, 20min or 30min. In this way, in the process of falling of the hair floating in the first area, the hair can be blown to the target position along with the continuous blowing operation of the air conditioner. Thus, the pet hair floating in the indoor air can be effectively cleaned, and the pet hair falling everywhere can be reduced.

[0052] Optionally, the processor controls the air conditioner to blow air, including: in a case where the blowing operation reaches a first time length, the processor detects a hair floating rate of the first area. In a case where the hair floating rate is less than a third hair floating rate threshold, the processor stops the blowing operation. The third hair floating rate threshold is [5%, 20%]. Optionally, the third hair floating rate threshold is 5%, 10% or 20%. In this way, it can be ensured that the hair floating rate in the first area has been reduced before the blowing operation is stopped, and no new hair floating is generated due to shaking or jumping of the pet. Thus, the pet hair floating in the indoor air can be effectively cleaned, and the pet hair falling everywhere can be reduced.

[0053] Optionally, before the processor controls the air conditioner to blow air, the method further includes: the processor controls the air conditioner to perform a humidification operation, and blows the air flow after humidification to above the first area. In this way, the air flow after humidification falling above the first area can humidify the hair in the first area, and the hair floating in the first area will not be disturbed by the air flow. The falling speed of the humidified hair is accelerated, and in the process of falling of the hair floating in the first area, the hair can be blown to the target position along with the blowing operation of the air conditioner. Thus, the pet hair floating in the indoor air can be cleaned faster, and the pet hair falling everywhere can be reduced.

[0054] In combination with Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0055] S301, the processor determines the position of the pet.

[0056] S302, the processor detects the hair floating rate of multiple areas around the position, and determines a first area with the maximum hair floating rate.

[0057] S303, the processor determines a target position according to the first area.

[0058] S304, the processor controls the air conditioner to run in a humidification mode, and blows the air flow after humidification to above the first area.

[0059] S305, the processor controls the air conditioner to blow the hair in the first area to the target position.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the cat and dog pets often have hair loss in daily life, especially in the case of intense exercise, and the hair falling and floating in the indoor air will increase. The air conditioner detects the hair floating rate in the air of the area around the pet, determines an area with the maximum hair floating rate, and the air conditioner humidifies the hair in the first area through the humidification mode. The falling speed of the humidified hair is accelerated, and in the process of falling of the floating hair, the hair can be blown to the target position by the air supply operation of the air conditioner. Therefore, the cleaning of the pet hair floating in the indoor air can be accelerated, and the falling of the pet hair everywhere can be reduced.

[0061] In combination with Figure 4 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide another method for controlling the air conditioner, which comprises the following steps:

[0062] S401, the processor determines the position of the pet.

[0063] S402, the processor detects the hair floating rate of multiple areas around the position, and determines a first area with the maximum hair floating rate.

[0064] S403, the processor controls the air conditioner to run in a humidification mode, and blows the air flow after humidification to above the first area.

[0065] S404, the processor determines a target position according to the first area.

[0066] S405, the processor controls the air conditioner to blow the hair in the first area to the target position.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since cats and dogs often shed hair in daily life, especially in the case of intense exercise, the amount of hair floating in the indoor air will increase. The air conditioner determines the area with the most floating hair by detecting the floating rate of hair in the air in the area around the pet. The air conditioner humidifies the hair in the first area by humidifying operation. The falling speed of the humidified hair is accelerated. In the process of falling of the floating hair, the hair can be blown to the target position by the air supply operation of the air conditioner. Thus, the cleaning of the floating pet hair in the indoor air can be accelerated, and the falling of the pet hair everywhere can be reduced.

[0068] Optionally, the processor controls the humidifying operation of the air conditioner, including: the processor determines the air outlet speed according to the floating rate of hair. The processor determines the air outlet angle according to the first area. The processor adjusts the fan speed and the angle of the air deflector according to the air outlet speed and the air outlet angle, and starts the humidifying operation. The humidifying of the hair in the first area requires adjusting the air outlet angle so that the air outlet of the air conditioner blows the humidified air flow to the upper side of the first area. In this way, the floating hair in the first area will not float everywhere due to the air outlet of the air conditioner. The falling speed of the humidified hair is accelerated. After the humidifying operation is completed, in the process of falling of the floating hair in the first area, the hair can be blown to the target position by the air supply operation of the air conditioner. Thus, the cleaning of the floating pet hair in the indoor air can be accelerated, and the falling of the pet hair everywhere can be reduced.

[0069] Optionally, the processor controls the humidifying operation of the air conditioner, including: in the case that the humidifying operation reaches a second time length, the processor closes the humidifying operation. The value of the second time length is [1min, 10min]. Optionally, the second time length is 1min, 5min, 8min or 10min. In this way, the falling speed of the humidified hair is accelerated. After the humidifying operation is completed, in the process of falling of the floating hair in the first area, the hair can be blown to the target position by the air supply operation of the air conditioner. Thus, the cleaning of the floating pet hair in the indoor air can be accelerated, and the falling of the pet hair everywhere can be reduced.

[0070] Optionally, the processor determines the air outlet wind speed according to the hair floating rate, including: in the case that the hair floating rate is greater than or equal to a first hair floating rate threshold, the processor determines the air outlet wind speed as a high wind speed; in the case that the hair floating rate is greater than or equal to a second hair floating rate threshold and less than the first hair floating rate threshold, the processor determines the air outlet wind speed as a medium wind speed; and in the case that the hair floating rate is less than the second hair floating rate threshold, the processor determines the air outlet wind speed as a low wind speed. The first hair floating rate threshold is greater than the second hair floating rate threshold. The first hair floating rate threshold is [60%, 80%]. Optionally, the first hair floating rate threshold is 60%, 70% or 80%. The second hair floating rate threshold is [30%, 50%]. Optionally, the second hair floating rate threshold is 30%, 40% or 50%. The higher the air outlet wind speed, the faster the humidification speed of the floating hair. In this way, the floating hair can be quickly humidified in the case that there is a large amount of floating hair. After the humidification operation is completed, the floating hair in the first area can be blown to the target position by the air supply operation of the air conditioner during the process of falling. Thus, the cleaning of the pet hair floating in the indoor air can be accelerated, and the pet hair can be prevented from falling everywhere.

[0071] Optionally, in the case of the humidification operation of the air conditioner, different air outlet wind speeds can correspond to different operation time lengths. The higher the air outlet wind speed, the shorter the corresponding operation time length. In this way, the waiting time of the humidification operation can be reduced, and the pet hair can be prevented from falling everywhere.

[0072] Optionally, after the processor controls the operation of the air conditioner, the method further includes: the processor detects the indoor humidity. In the case that the indoor humidity is greater than a first humidity threshold, the processor starts the dehumidification operation. In the case that the indoor humidity is less than a second humidity threshold, the processor stops the dehumidification operation. After the humidification operation of the air conditioner, the indoor humidity can be too large. At this time, the indoor humidity is detected, and the dehumidification operation is started in the case that the humidity is too large. In this way, the pet or the indoor person can feel more comfortable.

[0073] In combination with Figure 5 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0074] S501, a processor determines the position of a pet.

[0075] S502, the processor detects the hair floating rate of a plurality of areas around the position, and determines a first area with the maximum hair floating rate.

[0076] S503, the processor controls the air conditioner to perform a humidification operation, and blows the humidified air flow above the first area.

[0077] S504, the processor determines a target position according to the first area.

[0078] S505, the processor controls the air conditioner to blow the hair in the first area to the target position.

[0079] S506, the processor detects the indoor humidity.

[0080] S507, in the case that the indoor humidity is greater than a first humidity threshold, the processor starts a dehumidification operation.

[0081] S508, in the case that the indoor humidity is less than a second humidity threshold, the processor stops the dehumidification operation.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since cats and dogs often shed hair in daily life, especially in the case of intense exercise, the amount of hair floating in the indoor air will increase. The air conditioner determines the area with the most floating hair by detecting the floating rate of hair in the air in the area around the pet. The air conditioner humidifies the hair in the first area through a humidification operation. The falling speed of the humidified hair is accelerated, and in the process of falling of the floating hair, the hair can be blown to the target position by the air supply operation of the air conditioner. Thus, the cleaning of the floating pet hair in the indoor air can be accelerated, and the falling of pet hair everywhere can be reduced. At the same time, the indoor humidity is detected, and dehumidification is performed in the case of excessive humidity. In this way, the pet or the indoor personnel can feel more comfortable.

[0083] Optionally, after the processor controls the operation of the air conditioner, the method further includes: the processor sends the target position to a sweeping robot, so that the sweeping robot operates to the target position to sweep the ground. In this way, the hair at the target position can be swept, and the user experience is better.

[0084] Optionally, after the processor controls the operation of the air conditioner and removes the hair in the first area, the method further includes: the processor detects the remaining areas and controls the operation of the air conditioner to sequentially remove the hair in each area. In this way, most of the floating hair in the room can be removed. Thus, the floating pet hair in the indoor air can be effectively cleaned, and the falling of pet hair everywhere can be reduced.

[0085] In the actual operation of the air conditioner, another method for controlling the air conditioner is as shown in Figure 6 , which includes:

[0086] S601, an indoor image is collected.

[0087] S602, the collected image is identified to obtain the floating state of hair in the indoor.

[0088] S603, in the case that there is floating hair in the indoor, the position of the pet is identified.

[0089] S604, detect the hair floating rate of multiple regions around the position, and determine a first region with the maximum hair floating rate. If the hair floating rates of four regions around the position of the pet are 40%, 45%, 60% and 75% respectively, the region with the hair floating rate of 75% is determined as the first region.

[0090] S605, control the air conditioner to run in the humidification mode, and blow the air flow after humidification to above the first region. If the air outlet wind speed of the humidification mode is high wind speed in the case that the hair floating rate is greater than or equal to 70%, the humidification is run in the high wind speed in the case that the hair floating rate of the first region is 75%.

[0091] S606, in the case that the humidification mode runs for a second time length, the humidification mode is turned off. If the second time length is 5 minutes, the humidification mode is turned off after running for 5 minutes.

[0092] S607, detect the ground position corresponding to the first region, and obtain multiple open ground positions.

[0093] S608, determine the open ground position farthest from the air conditioner as a target position.

[0094] S609, control the air conditioner to blow air, and blow the hair in the first region to the target position.

[0095] S610, in the case that the air blowing mode runs for a first time length, the air blowing mode is turned off. If the first time length is 15 minutes, the air blowing mode is turned off after running for 15 minutes.
