[0003] In real life, people can manually set the operating mode (such as temperature and fan speed) of air conditioners via remote control or user terminal. The air conditioner then adjusts its functions according to the user's preset settings, such as sleep mode or high fan speed. However, practice has shown that existing air conditioner control methods still require manual intervention and are limited to the current temperature and time, failing to achieve true intelligence and thus unable to provide users with an accurate and comfortable environment. Therefore, proposing a solution to improve the intelligence of air conditioner control and provide users with an accurate and comfortable environment is particularly important.

[0089] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0090] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or end that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or ends.
[0091] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0092] This invention discloses an automatic control method and apparatus for intelligent air conditioning equipment. It can automatically generate targeted equipment control parameters for the intelligent air conditioning equipment based on collected information from the current area, such as environmental information and personnel categories. The method and apparatus then automatically and dynamically control the operation of the intelligent air conditioning equipment based on these parameters. This improves the intelligence of the intelligent air conditioning equipment's control, meets the environmental comfort needs of different groups of people, and eliminates the need for manual control by the user. Even when the user is asleep, it can still provide an accurate and comfortable environment, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, by accurately controlling the intelligent air conditioning equipment based on the current environmental information and personnel information (such as personnel categories), it also reduces the waste of electricity. The following sections provide detailed explanations.
[0093] Example 1
[0094] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an automatic control method for an intelligent air conditioning device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The described method can be applied to the automatic control device of a smart air conditioning unit. This automatic control device may include the smart air conditioning unit or a corresponding server. The automatic control device can communicate with user terminals and / or other smart devices in the current area (e.g., smart vacuum cleaners, smart image acquisition devices, etc.). User terminals include, but are not limited to, smart wearable devices (e.g., smart fitness trackers) and / or smartphones (Android phones, iOS phones, etc.). This embodiment of the invention does not impose limitations. Figure 1 As shown, the automatic control method of this intelligent air conditioning device may include the following operations:
[0095] 101. Collect information about the current area, including personnel information and environmental information. The personnel information includes the personnel categories in the current area.
[0096] In this embodiment of the invention, the personnel category in the current area includes one or more combinations of gender, age group, and physical condition; the environmental information of the current area includes one or more combinations of ambient temperature, ambient humidity, concentration of key gases, and odor; wherein, the key gases in the current area include, but are not limited to, carbon dioxide and / or oxygen; furthermore, the information of the current area also includes the solar term information of the current area, wherein the solar term information of the current area includes the solar term type of the current area, which includes one of the summer type, spring type, winter type, and autumn type. By collecting more information about the current area, the accuracy of the equipment control parameters generated by the intelligent air conditioning device can be improved, further contributing to providing a more comfortable environment for people and different groups of people.
[0097] In this embodiment of the invention, the information collection methods for the current area can optionally include user input and device collection. User input indicates that the information is sent to the automatic control device by a person through their user terminal, such as categories like "male" or "elderly." Device collection indicates that the information is recognized by the automatic control device through a recognition device. The recognition device can be integrated into the automatic control device or operate independently. The recognition device includes, but is not limited to, one or more combinations of voice recognition devices (e.g., recognizing the keyword "child" in the voice output of a person in the current area), voiceprint recognition devices, image recognition devices, and environmental recognition devices. By collecting information from the current area through multiple methods, more comprehensive information can be obtained, thereby improving the accuracy of the device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning equipment.
[0098] It should be noted that the personnel category in the current area can refer to an individual, such as Xiaohong or Xiaoming, or it can represent a group of multiple people, such as a female group consisting of Xiaohong and Xiaolan. This embodiment of the invention does not limit this.
[0099] 102. Based on the information included in the current area, generate device control parameters that match the information of the current area.
[0100] In this embodiment of the invention, the device control parameters include temperature control parameters and mode control parameters. The mode control parameters include sleep mode control parameters or non-sleep mode control parameters. Further, the device control parameters also include fan speed control parameters and / or air outlet mode control parameters. The air outlet mode of the intelligent air conditioning device is a mode formed by the movement of the air guide vane and / or the front panel of the intelligent air conditioning device. The air outlet mode of the intelligent air conditioning device includes one of the following: horizontal air outlet mode, vertical air outlet mode, and all-area air outlet (all-around air outlet) mode. The movement of the air guide vane and the movement of the front panel of the intelligent air conditioning device both include moving and / or rotating, and the movement of the air guide vane and the front panel of the intelligent air conditioning device both include one of upward movement, downward movement, forward movement, and backward movement. Therefore, the more content included in the device control parameters, the better the control accuracy of the intelligent air conditioning device.
[0101] 103. Control the operation of the intelligent air conditioning equipment in the current area based on the generated equipment control parameters.
[0102] It is evident that implementation Figure 1 The described correction method can automatically generate targeted control parameters for smart air conditioning devices by collecting information from the current area, such as environmental information and personnel categories. It then automatically and dynamically controls the operation of the smart air conditioning devices based on these parameters, improving the control intelligence of the devices and meeting the environmental comfort needs of different groups of people. Users do not need to manually control the devices; even when asleep, the system provides an accurate and comfortable environment, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, by accurately controlling the smart air conditioning devices based on current environmental and personnel information (such as personnel categories), it also reduces the waste of electricity.
[0103] In an optional embodiment, based on the content included in the determined information of the current region, device control parameters matching the information of the current region are generated, including:
[0104] Based on the information included in the current area, determine the perceptual information that matches the people in the current area. The perceptual information that matches the people in the current area includes the comfortable perceived temperature that matches the people in the current area.
[0105] Based on the content of the perception information matched with the personnel in the current area, generate equipment control parameters that match the information of the current area.
[0106] In this optional embodiment, the device control parameters matching the information of the current area include environmental control parameters. Furthermore, the perceived information matching the personnel in the current area also includes perceived wind conditions matching the personnel in the current area. In this case, the device control parameters matching the information of the current area also include wind speed control parameters and / or airflow mode control parameters.
[0107] In this optional embodiment, the comfort-perceived temperature matched to people in the current area includes the initial comfort-perceived temperature matched to people in the current area or the comfort-perceived temperature of the intelligent air conditioning device during operation. Different categories of people correspond to different comfort-perceived temperatures; for example, the relationship between the comfort-perceived temperature T1 for adult men, T2 for adult women, and T3 for children is T2>T1>T3. Furthermore, different solar terms correspond to different comfort-perceived temperatures, and the comfort-perceived temperature corresponding to winter is lower than that corresponding to summer. For example, in summer, the comfort-perceived temperature for adult women is 27.5℃, while in winter it is 24.5℃. Further still, different environmental humidity levels correspond to different comfort-perceived temperatures; for example, at an ambient humidity of 55% RH, the comfort-perceived temperature for adult women is 27.5℃, and at an ambient humidity of 85% RH, the comfort-perceived temperature for adult women is 25.5℃.
[0108] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can generate the device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning equipment by using the perception information of people in the current area, such as the comfort perception temperature, thereby improving the accuracy of the generation of the device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning equipment and thus providing a personalized and matched comfortable environment for people in the current area.
[0109] In another optional embodiment, based on the content included in the determined information of the current area, perceptual information matching the personnel in the current area is determined, including:
[0110] When the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1, calculate the average comfort temperature corresponding to each personnel category in the current area, and use this as the perception information matching the personnel in the current area; or,
[0111] When the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1 and the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area includes multiple air outlet zones, the comfort perception temperature corresponding to each personnel category in the current area is determined as the perception information matching the personnel in the current area, and each air outlet zone of the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area has corresponding personnel category perception information; or,
[0112] When the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1 and the number of personnel categories in the current area is odd, determine the comfortable perceived temperature corresponding to all personnel categories in the current area, and select the comfortable perceived temperature with the median value from all the comfortable perceived temperatures corresponding to all personnel categories as the perception information matching the personnel in the current area; or,
[0113] When the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1, determine the sensitivity of personnel in each personnel category to information in the current area, and select the comfortable perceived temperature of the personnel category (such as the children category) with the highest sensitivity from all personnel categories as the perceived information to match the personnel in the current area. This information includes temperature and / or dust.
[0114] For example, if area A has personnel category a and personnel category b, and the comfortable perceived temperature corresponding to personnel category a is 28.9℃ and the comfortable perceived temperature corresponding to personnel category b is 27.5℃, then the comfortable perceived temperature matching area A is (28.9℃ + 27.5℃) ÷ 2 = 28.2℃; or if the smart air conditioning device in area A has two independent air outlet areas c1 and c2, then 28.9℃ and 27.5℃ are both comfortable perceived temperatures matching area A, with air outlet area c1 corresponding to 28.9℃ and c2 corresponding to 27.5℃; or if area A also includes personnel category d, and the comfortable perceived temperature corresponding to personnel category d is 26.5℃, then the comfortable perceived temperature matching area A is 27.5℃; or if personnel category d is the most sensitive to temperature, then the comfortable perceived temperature matching area A is 26.5℃.
[0115] As can be seen, this optional embodiment improves the efficiency of determining the comfort perception temperature matching the people in the current area when there are multiple personnel categories in the current area, and enriches the intelligent functions of the automatic control device by using the average comfort perception temperature of all personnel categories, or the comfort perception temperature of multiple personnel categories when the intelligent air conditioning device has multiple air outlet areas, or the comfort perception temperature with the middle value when there are an odd number of categories in the current area, or the comfort perception temperature corresponding to the personnel category most sensitive to temperature and / or dust, as the comfort perception temperature matching the people in the current area (i.e., as the temperature control parameter for generating the intelligent air conditioning device).
[0116] In another optional embodiment, based on the content included in the determined information of the current area, perceptual information matching the personnel in the current area is determined, including:
[0117] If the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1, determine whether the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area is in working condition.
[0118] When it is determined that the smart air conditioning device in the current area is in working state, the working mode of the smart air conditioning device in the current area is determined, and it is determined whether the working mode of the smart air conditioning device in the current area is used to indicate that the smart air conditioning device in the current area is working alternately. Alternating working is used to indicate that the smart air conditioning device in the current area works in turn for a preset duration corresponding to the comfort perception temperature of each person category in all personnel categories. Each personnel category has a corresponding preset duration.
[0119] When the judgment result is yes, determine the number of times the comfort perception temperature corresponding to each personnel category will rotate within the interval between the start time and the current time when the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area starts working in working mode.
[0120] The average comfort temperature for all personnel categories is calculated based on the number of shifts for each personnel category and the comfort temperature for each personnel category. This average comfort temperature is then used as the perception information to match the personnel in the current area.
[0121] In this optional embodiment, when the number of shifts corresponding to the comfort perception temperature of each personnel category reaches a preset number of shifts (e.g., 4 times), the operation described above, which calculates the average comfort perception temperature of all personnel categories based on the number of shifts corresponding to the comfort perception temperature of each personnel category and the comfort perception temperature of each personnel category, is triggered as the perception information matching the personnel in the current area.
[0122] In this optional embodiment, when the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1 and is odd, and the number of shifts corresponding to the comfort perception temperature of each personnel category reaches a preset number of shifts (such as 4 times), the comfort perception temperature at the middle value is used as the perception information matching the personnel in the current area.
[0123] For example, in area A, there are two personnel categories: a and b. The perceived comfort temperature for personnel category a is 28.9℃, and the perceived comfort temperature for personnel category b is 27.5℃. The smart air conditioning device first operates at 28.9℃ for 10 minutes, then at 27.5℃ for 10 minutes, continuously alternating between 28.9℃ and 27.5℃. If 28.9℃ is used 5 times and 27.5℃ is used 4 times, then the perceived comfort temperature matching area A is (28.9℃*5+27.5℃*4)÷9≈28.3℃.
[0124] As can be seen, in this optional embodiment, when there are multiple personnel categories in the current area and the smart air conditioning device is in working state, by combining the comfort perception temperature corresponding to each personnel category with the number of times the comfort perception temperature corresponding to each personnel category is used, the final comfort perception temperature matched to the personnel in the current area can be determined, which can improve the accuracy of obtaining the comfort perception temperature matched to the personnel in the current area, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the comfort temperature that meets the needs of different categories of personnel.
[0125] In yet another optional embodiment, the personnel information for the current area also includes the location of personnel corresponding to each personnel type; the method may further include the following operations:
[0126] Based on the location of the person corresponding to each person type, determine the air outlet area that matches the location of the person corresponding to each person type from multiple air outlet areas of the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area;
[0127] Specifically, based on the content of the information in the determined current region, device control parameters matching the information in the current region are generated, including:
[0128] Based on the information of the current area and the air outlet area matching the personnel location for each personnel type, generate the equipment control parameters corresponding to the air outlet area matching the personnel location for each personnel type.
[0129] In this optional embodiment, the total air outlet area of the intelligent air conditioning device consists of multiple air outlet zones, each with a corresponding front panel and air guide plate, and each air outlet zone can be controlled independently. This facilitates providing a suitable comfortable environment for different types of people.
[0130] For example, a smart air conditioning device has two air outlet areas, namely air outlet area A1 and air outlet area A2. People of type a are closer to air outlet area A1 and people of type b are closer to air outlet area A2. Then air outlet area A1 is used to provide a comfortable environment for people of type a, and air outlet area A2 is used to provide a comfortable environment for people of type b.
[0131] As can be seen, this optional embodiment generates equipment control parameters for the intelligent air conditioning device by combining the environmental information and personnel information of the current area with the air outlet area of the intelligent air conditioning device matched with the personnel location corresponding to different personnel categories. This can further improve the accuracy of generating equipment control parameters for the intelligent air conditioning device, thereby providing a comfortable environment for different types of personnel and further enriching the intelligent functions of the automatic control device.
[0132] In yet another alternative embodiment, the method may further include the following operations:
[0133] Determine whether feedback information regarding the current working status of the smart air conditioning device has been received;
[0134] When feedback information regarding the current working status of the intelligent air conditioning device is received, the device control parameters corresponding to the current working mode of the intelligent air conditioning device are corrected based on the received feedback information to obtain the corrected device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning device. Among them, the corrected device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning device include the corrected temperature control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning device, which include the temperature control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning device at the next working moment or the temperature control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning device at the next start.
[0135] In this optional embodiment, the feedback information may include information uploaded by a user terminal worn by the person (e.g., a smart bracelet) and / or information reported by people in the current area. The information uploaded by the user terminal includes, but is not limited to, one or more of sleep quality, body surface temperature, heart rate, metabolism, and sleep stage. The information reported by people in the current area includes, but is not limited to, one or more of perceived temperature feedback, perceived wind speed feedback, and perceived airflow direction of the smart air conditioning device. The methods of reporting information by people in the current area include one or more combinations of voice reporting, reporting via the remote control of the smart air conditioning device, and reporting directly on the touch screen of the smart air conditioning device. Furthermore, the feedback information also includes information from the previous or current operation of the smart air conditioning device, such as horizontal cooling, all-area air cooling, and environmental information. The more content included in the feedback information, the more beneficial it is to improving the accuracy of the device control parameters correction of the smart air conditioning device. It should be noted that the time when the person inputs the feedback information can include any time after the smart air conditioning device enters the target operating mode, or any time after the smart air conditioning device ends the target operating mode; this embodiment of the invention does not limit this.
[0136] In this optional embodiment, the modified control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning device may also include modified fan speed control parameters and / or air outlet mode control parameters. The more modified control parameters there are, the better the control accuracy of the intelligent air conditioning device will be, thereby providing a more precise and comfortable environment for people.
[0137] As can be seen, this optional embodiment, during the operation of the intelligent air conditioning device in the corresponding working mode or when the intelligent air conditioning device ends the corresponding working mode, combines the feedback of the intelligent air conditioning device in this operation to revise the device control parameters again, thereby obtaining more accurate device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning device, and thus further providing people with a more comfortable environment.
[0138] In yet another alternative embodiment, the method may further include the following operations:
[0139] When it is detected that a person in the current area is in a bed or recliner, the physiological information sent by the user terminal of the person in the current area is obtained, and it is determined whether the person in the current area is beginning to fall asleep based on the obtained physiological information.
[0140] When it is determined that the people in the current area are beginning to fall asleep, the above-mentioned operation of controlling the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area to work is executed based on the generated equipment control parameters.
[0141] In this optional embodiment, the physiological information of the person in the current area includes, but is not limited to, metabolic rate, heart rate, respiratory rate, and at least one of eyes being closed or open. Furthermore, the physiological information of the person in the current area is reported by a smart wearable device worn by the person in the current area.
[0142] As can be seen, this optional embodiment determines the current state of a person by combining the parameters reported by the smart wearable device worn by the person, and only executes the sleep control mode of the smart air conditioning device when the person is in a sleep state. This can improve the control accuracy of the sleep control mode of the smart air conditioning device, thereby providing a matching sleep environment for the people in the current area.
[0143] Example 2
[0144] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another automatic control method for an intelligent air conditioning device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The described method can be applied to the automatic control device of a smart air conditioning unit. This automatic control device may include the smart air conditioning unit or a corresponding server. The automatic control device can communicate with user terminals and / or other smart devices in the current area (e.g., smart vacuum cleaners, smart image acquisition devices). The user terminals include, but are not limited to, smart wearable devices (e.g., smart fitness trackers) and / or smartphones (Android phones, iOS phones, etc.). Figure 2 As shown, the automatic control method of this intelligent air conditioning device may include the following operations:
[0145] 201. Collect information about the current area, including personnel information and environmental information. The personnel information includes the personnel categories in the current area.
[0146] 202. When personnel of a certain category in the current area are not asleep, collect information on the activities of the personnel corresponding to that category.
[0147] In this embodiment of the invention, the non-sleep state may optionally include one of the following: a leisure state, a work state, or a high-intensity labor state. The leisure state is a state where the person is seated, requiring little physical exertion and involving only minor mental activity, such as reading or watching a movie; the work state is a state where the person is seated, requiring little physical exertion and involving significant mental activity, such as writing or analyzing data; and the high-intensity labor state is a state where the person is standing and requires considerable physical exertion, such as doing housework or exercising.
[0148] 203. Determine the metabolic status corresponding to the personnel category based on the collected personnel activity data.
[0149] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, for the same category of personnel, different activity levels correspond to different metabolic states, and different metabolic states correspond to different comfort-perceived temperatures, i.e., different device control parameters for intelligent air conditioning equipment. Specifically, the comfort-perceived temperatures decrease sequentially from leisure state to working state to high-intensity labor state.
[0150] 204. Based on the metabolic status corresponding to the personnel category and the information included in the current area, generate equipment control parameters that match the information of the current area.
[0151] 205. Control the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area to operate based on the generated equipment control parameters.
[0152] In this embodiment of the invention, it should be noted that for other related descriptions of steps 201, 204 and 205, please refer to the detailed description of steps 101-103 in Embodiment 1. These descriptions will not be repeated in this embodiment of the invention.
[0153] As can be seen, the embodiments of the present invention can also combine the environmental information and personnel information of the current area with the metabolic status of personnel activities in the current area to generate dynamic equipment control parameters for intelligent air conditioning equipment. This can further improve the accuracy of generating dynamic equipment control parameters for intelligent air conditioning equipment, thereby improving the dynamic control accuracy of intelligent control equipment, providing personnel with a more precise and comfortable environment, and further enhancing the user experience.
[0154] It is evident that implementation Figure 2The described correction method can automatically generate targeted control parameters for smart air conditioning devices by collecting information from the current area, such as environmental information and personnel categories. It then automatically and dynamically controls the operation of the smart air conditioning devices based on these parameters, improving the control intelligence of the devices and meeting the environmental comfort needs of different groups of people. Users do not need to manually control the devices; even when asleep, the system provides an accurate and comfortable environment, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, by accurately controlling the smart air conditioning devices based on current environmental and personnel information (such as personnel categories), it also reduces the waste of electricity.
[0155] In an optional embodiment, the method may further include the following operations:
[0156] Collect the airflow speed of smart air conditioning devices in the current area, and query the average comfortable perceived temperature based on the personnel category;
[0157] In this optional embodiment, optionally, based on the metabolic status corresponding to the personnel category and the content included in the determined information of the current area, device control parameters matching the information of the current area are generated, including:
[0158] Based on the metabolic status of the personnel category, the airflow speed of the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area, the average comfort perception temperature matched to the personnel category, and the information included in the current area, equipment control parameters that match the information of the current area are generated.
[0159] In this optional embodiment, different personnel categories correspond to different average perceived comfort temperatures. Regardless of the solar term type, the perceived comfort temperature for the same personnel category increases with increasing airflow speed, eventually stabilizing. Furthermore, there is a corresponding relationship between the perceived comfort temperatures for different personnel categories. For example, the perceived comfort temperature for adult males is Tm, for adult females it is Tf, for the elderly it is Ts, and for children it is Tk. In summer, with the airflow speed of the smart air conditioner at 0.2 m / s, Tf > Ts > Tk > Tm. In a leisure state, Ts = Tf - 0.1℃, Tk = Tf - 0.5℃, and Tm = Tf - 0.8℃. In winter, with the airflow speed of the smart air conditioner at 0.2 m / s, Tm > Tf > Ts > Tk, meaning that in winter, in a leisure state, Tf = Tm - 0.7℃, Ts = Tm - 1℃, and Tk = Tm - 1.4℃.
[0160] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can further combine the air outlet speed of the intelligent air conditioning device to generate the device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning device, which can further improve the accuracy of the generation of the device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning device, thereby providing a more suitable and comfortable environment for the people in the current area.
[0161] In another alternative embodiment, the method may further include the following steps:
[0162] Assign a corresponding weight value to each piece of information in the current region based on the personnel category in the current region;
[0163] In this optional embodiment, optionally, based on the content included in the determined information of the current region, device control parameters matching the information of the current region are generated, including:
[0164] Based on the content of the information in the current region and the weight value corresponding to each content in the current region, generate device control parameters that match the information in the current region.
[0165] In this optional embodiment, optionally, device control parameters that match the information of the current area can also be generated by combining the metabolic status of the personnel category and / or the personnel location and / or wind speed corresponding to the personnel category.
[0166] In this optional embodiment, the weight values corresponding to each content in the information collected in the current area differ for different personnel categories, but the sum of the weight values corresponding to each content in the information of the current area is equal to 1. For example, if the body constitution category is cold, the weight value corresponding to the ambient temperature is greater than the weight value corresponding to the body constitution category is non-cold; at the same age, if the gender category is female, the weight value corresponding to the ambient temperature is greater than the weight value corresponding to the body constitution category is male.
[0167] As can be seen, this optional embodiment can assign corresponding weight values to the information content of the current area according to different categories of people, which can improve the accuracy of setting the weight values corresponding to the corresponding personnel categories. Furthermore, by combining the weight values assigned to the information content of the current area with the collected information, it can generate equipment control parameters for smart air conditioning devices suitable for the personnel category, thereby providing a precise and comfortable environment for the corresponding personnel and further enhancing the user experience.
[0168] The following example uses the current area as a room, where the smart air conditioning unit has two independent air outlets, and the people in the current area are a father and his 5-year-old son, both of whom are asleep:
[0169] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of a scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the father and son are sleeping in bed together. A smart air conditioner is located at the foot of the bed and has two air outlet areas: outlet area 1 and outlet area 2. Outlet area 1 is closer to the son, and outlet area 2 is closer to the father. Currently, it is summer, and the son's preferred comfortable temperature is 26.5℃, while the father's is 25.8℃. The room's humidity is 67% RH, and the ambient temperature is 26.7℃. Therefore, outlet area 1 outputs a temperature of 26.5℃, and outlet area 2 outputs a temperature of 25.8℃. The system continues to monitor environmental information such as room temperature and humidity, as well as physiological information such as the father's and son's body temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate. Neither the father nor the son is covered by a blanket. If the smart air conditioner is in deep sleep mode (4:00-6:00 AM), and the corresponding temperature control parameter for this deep sleep stage is 28.5℃, but the detected body temperatures of the father and / or son are 37.5℃ and 37.2℃ respectively, with slight sweating, and the room temperature is 27.1℃ and the humidity is 51% RH, then the system automatically adjusts the output temperature of air outlet 1 to 26.1℃ and the output temperature of air outlet 2 to 25.4℃. It continues to monitor room information and adjusts the smart air conditioner's control parameters accordingly to provide a comfortable environment for the father and son.
[0170] Example 3
[0171] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic control device for an intelligent air conditioning system disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 The described device may include a smart air conditioning unit or a server corresponding to the smart air conditioning unit. The automatic control device of the smart air conditioning unit can communicate with user terminals and / or other smart devices in the current area (such as smart vacuum cleaners, smart image acquisition devices, etc.). The user terminals include, but are not limited to, smart wearable devices (such as smart fitness trackers) and / or smartphones (Android phones, iOS phones, etc.). Figure 3 As shown, the device may include:
[0172] The data acquisition module 301 is used to collect information about the current area, including personnel information and environmental information. The personnel information includes the personnel categories in the current area.
[0173] The generation module 302 is used to generate device control parameters that match the information of the current area based on the content of the information of the current area.
[0174] The control module 303 is used to control the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area to operate based on the generated equipment control parameters.
[0175] In this embodiment of the invention, optionally, the personnel category in the current area includes one or more combinations of gender category, age group category, and physical condition category; the environmental information of the current area includes one or more combinations of the current area's ambient temperature, current area's ambient humidity, current area's concentration of key gases, and current area's odor.
[0176] Furthermore, the information for the current region also includes the solar term information for the current region. The solar term information for the previous region includes the solar term type for the current region, which includes one of the following: summer type, spring type, winter type, and autumn type.
[0177] It is evident that implementation Figure 3 The described automatic control device for intelligent air conditioning equipment automatically generates targeted control parameters for the intelligent air conditioning equipment by collecting information from the current area, such as environmental information and personnel categories. Based on these parameters, it dynamically controls the operation of the intelligent air conditioning equipment, improving its control intelligence and meeting the environmental comfort needs of different groups of people. Users do not need to manually control the equipment; even when asleep, it provides an accurate and comfortable environment, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, by accurately controlling the intelligent air conditioning equipment based on current environmental and personnel information (such as personnel categories), it also reduces the waste of electricity.
[0178] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the generation module 302 includes:
[0179] The determination submodule 3021 is used to determine the perception information matching the people in the current area based on the content of the determined information of the current area. The perception information matching the people in the current area includes the comfort perception temperature matching the people in the current area.
[0180] The generation submodule 3022 is used to generate equipment control parameters that match the information of the current area based on the content of the perception information matched with the personnel in the current area.
[0181] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described intelligent air conditioning equipment's automatic control device can generate equipment control parameters based on the sensory information of people in the current area, such as comfort-sensing temperature, thereby improving the accuracy of the generated equipment control parameters and providing a personalized and comfortable environment for people in the current area.
[0182] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the specific method by which the determining submodule 3021 determines the perception information matching the personnel in the current area based on the content of the determined information of the current area is as follows:
[0183] When the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1, calculate the average comfort temperature corresponding to each personnel category in the current area, and use this as the perception information matching the personnel in the current area; or,
[0184] When the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1 and the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area includes multiple air outlet zones, the comfort perception temperature corresponding to each personnel category in the current area is determined as the perception information matching the personnel in the current area, and each air outlet zone of the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area has corresponding personnel category perception information; or,
[0185] When the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1 and the number of personnel categories in the current area is odd, determine the comfortable perceived temperature corresponding to all personnel categories in the current area, and select the comfortable perceived temperature with the median value from all the comfortable perceived temperatures corresponding to all personnel categories as the perception information matching the personnel in the current area; or,
[0186] When the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1, determine the sensitivity of personnel in each personnel category to information in the current area, and select the comfortable perceived temperature of the personnel category with the highest sensitivity from all personnel categories as the perceived information matched with the personnel in the current area. This information includes temperature and / or dust.
[0187] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The described automatic control device for intelligent air conditioning equipment can also improve the efficiency of determining the comfort perception temperature matched to the people in the current area when there are multiple categories of people, by using the average comfort perception temperature of all categories of people, or the comfort perception temperature of multiple categories of people when the intelligent air conditioning equipment has multiple air outlet areas, or the comfort perception temperature with the middle value when there are an odd number of categories in the current area, or the comfort perception temperature corresponding to the category of people most sensitive to temperature and / or dust as the comfort perception temperature matched to the people in the current area (i.e., as the temperature control parameter used to generate the intelligent air conditioning equipment), and enrich the intelligent functions of the automatic control device.
[0188] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the specific method by which the determining submodule 3021 determines the perception information matching the personnel in the current area based on the content of the determined information of the current area is as follows:
[0189] If the number of personnel categories in the current area is greater than 1, determine whether the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area is in working condition.
[0190] When it is determined that the smart air conditioning device in the current area is in working state, the working mode of the smart air conditioning device in the current area is determined, and it is determined whether the working mode of the smart air conditioning device in the current area is used to indicate that the smart air conditioning device in the current area is working alternately. Alternating working is used to indicate that the smart air conditioning device in the current area works in turn for a preset duration corresponding to the comfort perception temperature of each person category in all personnel categories. Each personnel category has a corresponding preset duration.
[0191] When the judgment result is yes, determine the number of times the comfort perception temperature corresponding to each personnel category will rotate within the interval between the start time and the current time when the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area starts working in working mode.
[0192] The average comfort temperature for all personnel categories is calculated based on the number of shifts for each personnel category and the comfort temperature for each personnel category. This average comfort temperature is then used as the perception information to match the personnel in the current area.
[0193] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The automatic control device of the described intelligent air conditioning equipment can also determine the final comfort temperature matched to the people in the current area when there are multiple personnel categories in the current area and the intelligent air conditioning equipment is in working state. This is achieved by combining the comfort perception temperature corresponding to each personnel category with the number of times the comfort perception temperature corresponding to each personnel category is used. This improves the accuracy of obtaining the comfort perception temperature matched to the people in the current area, thereby improving the accuracy of obtaining the comfort temperature that meets the needs of different personnel categories.
[0194] In yet another optional embodiment, the personnel information for the current area also includes the location of personnel corresponding to each personnel type. And, as... Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes:
[0195] The first determining module 304 is used to determine the air outlet area that matches the personnel location corresponding to each personnel type from multiple air outlet areas of the smart air conditioning device in the current area.
[0196] Specifically, the generation module 302 generates device control parameters that match the information of the current region based on the determined information of the current region in the following way:
[0197] Based on the information of the current area and the air outlet area matching the personnel location for each personnel type, generate the equipment control parameters corresponding to the air outlet area matching the personnel location for each personnel type.
[0198] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The automatic control device of the described intelligent air conditioning equipment can also generate equipment control parameters for the intelligent air conditioning equipment by combining the environmental information and personnel information of the current area with the air outlet area of the intelligent air conditioning equipment corresponding to the personnel location of different personnel categories. This can further improve the accuracy of generating equipment control parameters for the intelligent air conditioning equipment, thereby providing a comfortable environment for different types of personnel and further enriching the intelligent functions of the automatic control equipment.
[0199] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the acquisition module 301 is also used to collect the activity status of personnel corresponding to the personnel category when the personnel of the current area are in a non-sleep state, before the generation module 302 generates the device control parameters that match the information of the current area based on the content of the information of the current area.
[0200] And, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes:
[0201] The second determining module 305 is used to determine the metabolic status corresponding to the personnel category based on the collected personnel activity data.
[0202] Specifically, the generation module 302 generates device control parameters that match the information of the current region based on the determined information of the current region in the following way:
[0203] Based on the metabolic status corresponding to the personnel category and the information included in the current area, generate equipment control parameters that match the information of the current area.
[0204] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The automatic control device of the described intelligent air conditioning equipment can also generate dynamic equipment control parameters for the intelligent air conditioning equipment by combining the environmental information and personnel information of the current area with the metabolic status of personnel activities in the current area. This can further improve the accuracy of the generation of dynamic equipment control parameters for the intelligent air conditioning equipment, thereby improving the dynamic control accuracy of the intelligent control equipment, providing a more precise and comfortable environment for personnel, and further enhancing the user experience.
[0205] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the data acquisition module 301 is also used to acquire the air outlet speed of the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area and query the average comfort perceived temperature matching the personnel category.
[0206] Specifically, the generation module 302 generates equipment control parameters that match the information of the current area based on the metabolic status corresponding to the personnel category and the content of the determined information of the current area, in the following way:
[0207] Based on the metabolic status of the personnel category, the airflow speed of the smart air conditioning equipment in the current area, the average comfort perception temperature matched to the personnel category, and the information included in the current area, equipment control parameters that match the information of the current area are generated.
[0208] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The automatic control device of the described intelligent air conditioning equipment can further combine the air outlet speed of the intelligent air conditioning equipment to generate equipment control parameters, which can further improve the accuracy of the generation of equipment control parameters, thereby providing a more suitable and comfortable environment for people in the current area.
[0209] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes:
[0210] The judgment module 306 is used to determine whether feedback information regarding the current working status of the intelligent air conditioning device has been received.
[0211] The correction module 307 is used to correct the device control parameters of the current working mode of the intelligent air conditioner based on the received feedback information when the judgment module 306 determines that feedback information regarding the current working status of the intelligent air conditioner has been received, thereby obtaining the corrected device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioner. The corrected device control parameters of the intelligent air conditioner include the corrected temperature control parameters of the intelligent air conditioner, which may include the temperature control parameters for the next working moment of the intelligent air conditioner or the temperature control parameters for the next startup of the intelligent air conditioner.
[0212] It is evident that implementation Figure 4 The automatic control device of the described intelligent air conditioning equipment can also, during the operation of the intelligent air conditioning equipment in a corresponding working mode or when the intelligent air conditioning equipment ends the corresponding working mode, adjust the equipment control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning equipment again based on the feedback of the current operation, so as to obtain more accurate equipment control parameters of the intelligent air conditioning equipment, thereby providing a more comfortable environment for people.
[0213] Example 4
[0214] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic control device for another intelligent air conditioning unit disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention.
