[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0033] S11, the air conditioner obtains user behavior information.

[0034] S12: When the behavior information indicates that the user is in a disease state, the air conditioner determines an essential oil release plan of the essential oil module according to the behavior information.

[0035] S13, the air conditioning control essential oil module executes the essential oil release plan.

[0036] In the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, behavioral information refers to the user's behavior and actions. For example, user behavioral information may include frequent tossing and turning on a smart mattress. In one example, a server can acquire user behavioral information collected by connected smart home devices. Here, smart home devices may include smart mattresses, smart toilets, smart TVs, smart refrigerators, and the like. The server can be a cloud-based server. After acquiring user behavioral information collected by multiple smart home devices, the server sends the user behavioral information to the air conditioner so that the air conditioner can acquire the user behavioral information. This solution effectively acquires user behavioral information collected by smart home devices directly or indirectly connected to the air conditioner, facilitating the determination of the user's condition based on the user behavioral information. Furthermore, if the behavioral information indicates that the user is suffering from an illness, the essential oil release schedule of the essential oil module is determined based on the behavioral information. Specifically, determining that the user's behavioral information indicates an illness can be determined in various ways. In one example, the frequency of use of a user's smart home devices can be collected within a preset time period. If the collected usage frequency exceeds the preset frequency, the user is determined to be suffering from an illness. For example, the preset time period can be one hour, the smart home device can be a smart toilet, and the preset frequency can be one time. If a user uses a smart toilet three times within an hour, and the frequency of their smart home usage is determined to be higher than a preset frequency, then the user's behavior information is determined to indicate a medical condition. In another example, if the smart home device is a smart mattress, and the mattress detects frequent tossing and turning for a preset period of time, which can be half an hour, then the user's behavior information is determined to indicate a medical condition. In an optimized solution, preset actions can be pre-stored. When user behavior information is collected indicating that the user has performed the preset action, the user is determined to be in a medical condition. For example, the preset actions can be sneezing or wiping the nose. Specifically, if the user behavior information collected by the smart home device is sneezing or wiping the nose, then the user behavior information is determined to indicate a medical condition. With this solution, the user's current condition, as indicated by the user behavior information, can be determined through various methods. Once the user's medical condition is determined, the user's behavior information can be further combined to determine an essential oil release regimen to alleviate the condition. Specifically, the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is provided with an essential oil module, which can be used to execute a predetermined essential oil release regimen. Specifically, the determined multiple target essential oils can be released into the environment where the air conditioner is located according to their ratio, so that the target essential oils can be spread in the environment where the air conditioner is located according to the determined ratio, effectively alleviating the user's short-term discomfort symptoms.Here, the essential oil module can be set at the air outlet of the air conditioner and include multiple box bodies, each of which can be a square structure with a top cover, and each box body is filled with different types of essential oils. When the essential oil module needs to release essential oil, it can determine the box body where the target essential oil is located, and control the stepper motor associated with the box body to adjust the top cover position of the target essential oil box body to adjust the opening area of ​​the box body opening located below the top cover to adjust the essential oil volatilization area of ​​the target essential oil.

[0037] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine whether the user is in a disease state through behavioral information, and when the user is in a disease state, combine the user's behavioral information to determine an essential oil release plan with a relief function, and control the essential oil module of the air conditioner to execute the plan, so that the determined essential oil with a relief function can be spread in the environment where the user is located, effectively alleviating the user's discomfort symptoms in a short period of time, and providing the user with a more convenient air conditioner control plan for alleviating the user's discomfort symptoms.

[0038] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a method for determining an essential oil release scheme provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 2 As shown, optionally, in S12, the air conditioner determines an essential oil release scheme of the essential oil module based on the behavior information, including:

[0039] S21, determining symptom information corresponding to the behavior information;

[0040] S22: The air conditioner determines a plurality of target essential oils having a relieving function and a mixing ratio of the plurality of target essential oils based on the symptom information.

[0041] In this solution, the air conditioner can pre-store the correspondence between behavior information and symptom information. For example, if the user's behavior information shows that they used the smart toilet more than once within an hour, the user's symptom information is determined to be diarrhea. If the user's behavior information shows that they frequently tossed and turned on the smart mattress for half an hour, the user's symptom information is determined to be insomnia. If the user's behavior information shows sneezing, runny nose, and coughing, the user's symptom information is determined to be a cold. In this way, by pre-storing the correspondence, the symptom information corresponding to the user's current behavior information can be effectively determined, allowing the air conditioner to more accurately determine the user's current condition. Furthermore, the air conditioner can pre-store the relationship between symptom information, target essential oils, and blending solutions. For example, if the user's symptom information is diarrhea, the target essential oil blending solution is a 1:2 ratio of patchouli to lemon; if the user's symptom information is insomnia, the target essential oil blending solution is a 1:1 ratio of lavender to tea tree oil; and if the user's symptom information is a cold, the target essential oil blending solution is a 1:2:1 ratio of lavender to peppermint to tea tree oil. In this way, the target essential oil and blending solution that can alleviate the user's current condition can be effectively determined based on the user's symptom information.

[0042] Optionally, in S22, the air conditioner determines multiple target essential oils with relief functions based on the symptom information, including: when the symptom information is diarrhea, determining the multiple target essential oils as patchouli and lemon; when the symptom information is insomnia, determining the multiple target essential oils as lavender and tea tree oil; when the symptom information is a cold, determining the multiple target essential oils as lavender, mint and tea tree oil.

[0043] In this solution, a correlation between symptom information and target essential oils can be established based on the therapeutic effects of different essential oils. Furthermore, based on the determined symptom information, a target essential oil associated with the user's symptom information can be matched against pre-stored correlations. This solution allows for more accurate determination of the target essential oil that can alleviate the user's current symptoms.

[0044] Optionally, in S22, the air conditioner determines a mixing ratio of multiple target essential oils, including:

[0045] S31, the air conditioner determines the symptom level corresponding to the symptom information;

[0046] S32: Determine the mixing scheme corresponding to the symptom level as the mixing scheme of multiple target essential oils.

[0047] In this solution, the correspondence between behavioral information and symptom levels can be pre-stored. For example, the association between the frequency of use of the smart toilet and the symptom level can be set. In one example, when the user uses the smart toilet once every three hours, the symptom level is determined to be mild diarrhea. When the user uses the smart toilet once every two hours, the symptom level is determined to be moderate diarrhea. When the user uses the smart toilet more than once per hour, the symptom level is determined to be severe diarrhea. With this solution, the symptom level corresponding to the user's behavioral information can be determined in combination with the pre-stored correspondence to more accurately determine the user's current situation. Furthermore, the ratio scheme of the target essential oil can be determined in combination with the pre-stored correspondence between the symptom level and the ratio scheme. In one example, the ratio scheme of the target essential oil corresponding to mild diarrhea is patchouli: lemon at a ratio of 1:2. The ratio scheme of the target essential oil corresponding to moderate diarrhea is patchouli: lemon at a ratio of 1:1. The target essential oil ratio for severe diarrhea is 2:1 of patchouli and lemon. This ratio is effectively combined with the user's symptom level to modify the target essential oil ratio and more effectively alleviate the user's current discomfort symptoms.

[0048] Optionally, S12, the air conditioner determines an essential oil release plan of the essential oil module, including: the air conditioner determines a target opening area of ​​the box body.

[0049] In this solution, the essential oil module can be installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner and include multiple boxes, for example, five. Each box can be a square structure with a top cover, and each box is filled with a different type of essential oil. When the essential oil module needs to release an essential oil, it can determine the box containing the target essential oil and control the stepper motor associated with the box to adjust the top cover position of the target essential oil box to adjust the opening area of ​​the box below the top cover to adjust the evaporation area of ​​the target essential oil. In this solution, the target opening area is specifically the opening area of ​​the box when the essential oil ratio is 1. For example, if the target essential oil ratio is 1:2, and the target opening area is determined to be M0, the opening area of ​​the box filled with patchouli is determined to be M0, and the opening area of ​​the box filled with lemon is determined to be 2M0. In this way, after determining the target opening area of ​​the box, the opening area of ​​the box filled with different essential oil types is determined to achieve different essential oil release ratios. At the same time, by changing the opening area of ​​different boxes, the volatilization speed of different types of essential oils can be effectively adjusted to spread a variety of target essential oils in the user's environment, effectively alleviating the user's discomfort in the short term.

[0050] Optionally, the target opening area of ​​the box body is determined by:

[0051] M=n1×M0-n2×V / V max ×M0

[0052] Among them, M is the target opening area of ​​the box, n1 is the first correction parameter, M0 is the maximum opening area of ​​the box, n2 is the second correction parameter, V is the current speed of the air conditioner fan, V max The maximum speed of the air conditioner fan.

[0053] In one example, the first correction parameter can be set to 0.5. The maximum opening area corresponding to different types of box bodies is different, and M0 can be determined based on the maximum opening area of ​​the box body. The second correction parameter can be set to 0.5. For example, if the current speed of the air conditioner fan is detected to be 500 rpm, and the speed range of the air conditioner is 500 rpm-1500 rpm, then the target opening area of ​​the box body is determined to be = 0.5M0-0.5×500 / 1500×M0=0.33M0. In this way, the target opening area of ​​the essential oil module box body is determined more accurately, so that the air conditioner can adjust the top cover position of the corresponding target essential oil box body in combination with the target opening area and the essential oil ratio scheme.

[0054] Figure 4 This is another schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0055] S41, the air conditioner obtains user behavior information.

[0056] S42: When the behavior information indicates that the user is in a disease state, the air conditioner determines an essential oil release plan of the essential oil module according to the behavior information.

[0057] S43, when aldehyde gas exists in the environment where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner controls itself to turn on the fresh air mode.

[0058] S44, the air conditioning control essential oil module executes the essential oil release plan.

[0059] In the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, to prevent the presence of residual essential oil in the air conditioner's environment before the essential oil release scheme is executed, the air conditioner can be controlled to control a gas sensor associated with the air conditioner to collect aldehyde gases in the air conditioner's environment. If aldehyde gases are present in the air conditioner's environment, the air conditioner is controlled to activate fresh air mode. This solution effectively exhausts the remaining essential oil in the air conditioner's environment to the outside through the air conditioner's fresh air mode, thus preventing the release effect of the essential oil release scheme from being affected.

[0060] Figure 5 This is another schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, combined with Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0061] S51, the air conditioner obtains user behavior information.

[0062] S52: When the behavior information indicates that the user is in a disease state, the air conditioner determines an essential oil release plan of the essential oil module according to the behavior information.

[0063] S53, the air conditioning control essential oil module executes the essential oil release plan.

[0064] S54: After a preset period of time, the air conditioner obtains the aldehyde gas content in its environment.

[0065] S55: When the aldehyde gas content is higher than a preset value, the air conditioner stops executing the essential oil release program.

[0066] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to ensure the safety of the implementation of the solution, it is necessary to monitor the aldehyde gas content in the environment where the air conditioner is located in real time to avoid the aldehyde gas content in the environment where the air conditioner is located exceeding the standard and affecting the health of the user. In one example, in order to save power resources, the aldehyde gas content in the environment can also be obtained after a preset time period. Here, the preset time period can be half an hour. And when the aldehyde gas content is higher than the preset value, the air conditioner stops executing the essential oil release plan. In this solution, the preset value can be set to 30mg / m 3 The aldehyde gas content in the air-conditioning environment is higher than 30mg / m 3 When the essential oil release program is stopped, it will protect the user's health and prevent the harm caused by excessive aldehyde gas to the body.

[0067] In actual applications, if the user's behavior information obtained is that the user repeatedly tosses and turns on the smart mattress for 30 minutes, it is determined that the user is in a disease state, and the symptom information corresponding to the user's behavior information is determined to be insomnia. Furthermore, it can be determined that the target essential oils for alleviating insomnia symptoms are lavender and tea tree oil, and the ratio of the target essential oils is determined to be spread into the environment where the air conditioner is located in a 1:1 manner. At the same time, the opening area of ​​the box where the lavender and tea tree oil are located can be determined to achieve release into the environment where the air conditioner is located through their respective openings, so that lavender and tea tree oil are spread in the user's environment in a ratio of 1:1, effectively improving the user's insomnia symptoms in a short period of time.

Control module 63 is configured to control the essential oil module of the air conditioner to execute the essential oil release scheme.

[0069] The device for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine whether the user is in a disease state through behavioral information, and when the user is in a disease state, determine an essential oil release plan with a relief function in combination with the user's behavioral information, and control the essential oil module of the air conditioner to execute the plan, so as to spread the determined essential oil with a relief function in the environment where the user is located, effectively alleviating the user's discomfort symptoms in a short period of time, and providing the user with a more convenient air conditioner control plan for alleviating the user's discomfort symptoms.
