Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household appliances, and particularly relates to an air conditioning control method, device, air conditioner, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the number of pets has been increasing year by year, and pet owners are showing greater care for their pets. Statistics show that a significant number of owners still leave the air conditioning on for their pets after leaving home. However, current air conditioning systems operate according to preset parameters, such as set temperature and fan speed. This single and fixed operating mode fails to meet the needs of pets. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve, at least to some extent, the technical problem in the related art that the single and fixed operation mode of air conditioners cannot meet the needs of pets for air conditioning, and provides an air conditioning control method, device, air conditioner and readable storage medium.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioning control method, comprising: acquiring the location information of a pet; and adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on an air conditioning control strategy corresponding to the location information.

[0005] In this embodiment of the invention, by using the pet's location information and different air conditioning operating parameters, the room air is purified while the pet's comfort is ensured.

[0006] In some implementations, adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the air conditioner control strategy corresponding to the location information includes: adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to a first air conditioner control strategy when the location information is within a preset space corresponding to the air conditioner; and adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to a second air conditioner control strategy when the location information is outside the preset space.

[0007] In this embodiment of the invention, when the pet is within a preset space, a first air conditioning control strategy is employed to meet the pet's air conditioning needs. When the pet is outside the preset air space, a second air conditioning control strategy is employed to achieve air purification and circulation in the absence of pets. Employing different air conditioning control strategies under different conditions improves the intelligence of the air conditioning control.

[0008] In some implementations, adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the air conditioning control strategy corresponding to the location information includes: obtaining a target air quality index within the preset space; when the target air quality index is greater than a first threshold, controlling the air conditioner to periodically execute the air conditioning function corresponding to the target air quality index based on a preset correspondence between the air quality index and the air conditioning function, until the target air quality index is lower than a second threshold, wherein the second threshold is less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0009] In this embodiment of the invention, when the target air quality is poor, the air conditioning function is turned on until the target air quality returns to normal, thus achieving automatic adjustment of air quality and improving the comfort of pets.

[0010] In some implementations, adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the first air conditioning control strategy includes: when the target air quality index is lower than the first threshold, controlling the air conditioner to periodically execute an air conditioning function corresponding to the target air quality index, wherein the running time of the air conditioning function is a first running time.

[0011] In this embodiment of the invention, when the pet is in a preset space, the operating time of the air conditioning function is controlled to be a first operating time, which is to match the pet's habits, taking into account the pet's comfort.

[0012] In some implementations, adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the second air conditioning control strategy includes: when the target air quality index is lower than the first threshold, controlling the air conditioner to periodically execute an air conditioning function corresponding to the target air quality index, wherein the running time of the air conditioning function is a second running time, and the second running time is less than the first running time.

[0013] In this embodiment of the invention, when the pet is outside the preset space, there is no need to extend the running time of the air conditioning function; instead, it runs for a second running time that is shorter than the first running time, thus saving resources.

[0014] In some implementations, adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the first air conditioning control strategy includes controlling the air conditioner to supply air at a first fan speed; adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the second air conditioning control strategy includes controlling the air conditioner to supply air at a second fan speed, wherein the second fan speed is greater than the first fan speed.

[0015] In this embodiment of the invention, when the pet is outside the preset space, the air conditioner's fan speed is increased to achieve rapid air circulation and purification; when the pet is inside the preset space, the air conditioner's fan speed is decreased to ensure the pet's comfort.

[0016] In some implementations, adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to a first air conditioning control strategy includes: determining a first air guide vane adjustment range for the air conditioner based on the location information, wherein the first air guide vane adjustment range is a range that avoids the area where the pet is located; and controlling the air conditioner to deliver air within the first air guide vane adjustment range. Adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to a second air conditioning control strategy includes: determining a second air guide vane adjustment range for the air conditioner, wherein the second air guide vane adjustment range is the maximum adjustment range of the air guide vane.

[0017] In this embodiment of the invention, when the pet is in the preset space, the airflow is avoided from blowing on the pet; when the pet is outside the preset space, the air guide plate is oscillated to the maximum extent to agitate the air and accelerate air circulation.

[0018] In some implementations, the method further includes: determining the target species of the pet; determining the target environmental parameters corresponding to the target species based on the correspondence between pet species and environmental parameters; and adjusting the environmental setting parameters of the air conditioner based on the target environmental parameters.

[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, different environmental parameters are set for different pet species to increase the pets' comfort.

[0020] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioning control device, comprising: an acquisition module for acquiring location information of a pet; and an adjustment module for adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on an air conditioning control strategy corresponding to the location information.

[0021] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioner, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the method described in any embodiment of the first aspect.

[0022] Fourthly, embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method provided in the first aspect. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the air conditioner in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0027] In view of the technical problem that the single and fixed operation mode of air conditioners in related technologies cannot meet the needs of pets for air conditioning, an air conditioning control method, device, air conditioner and readable storage medium are provided. The air conditioning control strategy corresponding to the location information of the pet is determined by using the pet's location information to adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0030] The air conditioning control method provided by the embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of an air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of this specification. The method includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S101: Obtain the pet's location information;

[0033] Step S102: Adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the air conditioner control strategy corresponding to the location information.

[0034] The methods provided in the embodiments of this specification can be applied to air conditioners or to IoT central control devices that can control air conditioners. No limitation is made here. For ease of explanation, the embodiments of this specification are described using an air conditioner as an example.

[0035] In step S101, a user can keep one or more pets. When there are multiple pets, the pets mentioned in step S101 can refer to all pets or a specific pet among the multiple pets. For example, if a user keeps both a cat and a dog, in one embodiment, both the cat and the dog can be considered as pets using air conditioning. In this case, obtaining the pet's location information includes obtaining the cat's location information and obtaining the dog's location information. In another embodiment, only the dog is considered as a pet using air conditioning. In this case, obtaining the pet's location information means obtaining the dog's location.

[0036] Pet location information can be obtained through sensors installed on the air conditioner, including but not limited to cameras, LiDAR, and infrared sensors. These sensors can collect environmental data of the space where the air conditioner is located, such as environmental images and point cloud data. Pet recognition is then performed based on the collected environmental data. If the pet is identified in the environmental data, it indicates that the pet is within the space where the air conditioner is located; if the pet is not identified, it indicates that the pet is outside the space. Furthermore, the pet's specific location can be accurately determined based on the environmental data, such as the pet's exact distance from the air conditioner, and this specific location can be used as the pet's location information.

[0037] Of course, sensors can also be placed in other locations within a user's home, and these sensors can communicate with the air conditioner. For example, a camera could be installed in each room of the user's home, with each camera capturing image information for its corresponding room. If the image information captured by one of the cameras contains a pet, it can be determined that the pet is located in the room where that camera is located. Furthermore, based on whether the camera is located in the same room as the air conditioner, it can be determined whether the pet is actually in the room where the air conditioner is located.

[0038] In step S102, different air conditioning control strategies can correspond to different pet location information. In this embodiment, the pet's location is divided into two types: one is located within a preset space corresponding to the air conditioner, and the other is located outside a preset space corresponding to the air conditioner. It should be noted that the preset space can be set according to actual needs, for example, the preset space is the room where the air conditioner is located, or the preset space is a space at a preset distance from the air conditioner, etc.

[0039] In the specific implementation process, when the location information is within the preset space corresponding to the air conditioner, the operating parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted according to the first air conditioner control strategy; when the location information is outside the preset space, the operating parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted according to the second air conditioner control strategy.

[0040] Specifically, the first and second air conditioning control strategies can be partially the same or completely different. These strategies can be system-configured control strategies or user-defined strategies based on actual needs. The first and second air conditioning control strategies can include pre-set parameters or specific adjustment logic based on the pet's actual condition.

[0041] It should be noted that because pets are quite sensitive to air quality, the fresh air function and / or purification function of the air conditioner are needed to ventilate, sterilize, and disinfect the indoor air. In the embodiments of this specification, air quality can be improved in the following way: obtaining the target air quality index in the preset space; when the target air quality index is greater than a first threshold, based on the preset correspondence between the air quality index and the air conditioning function, controlling the air conditioner to periodically execute the air conditioning function corresponding to the target air quality index until the target air quality index is lower than a second threshold.

[0042] Specifically, target air quality indicators may include, but are not limited to, the carbon dioxide content and PM2.5 content within a preset space, with the preset conditions being the range corresponding to the standard air quality indicators. The air conditioning functions activated when these indicators exceed the standard may also differ. For example, when the carbon dioxide content in the air exceeds the standard, the activated air conditioning function is the fresh air function; when the PM2.5 content in the air exceeds the standard, the activated air conditioning function is the purification function. The purification function may include ultraviolet sterilization and negative ion purification. Therefore, based on the air quality indicators that the air conditioning functions can improve, a preset correspondence between air conditioning functions and air quality indicators can be established.

[0043] The first and second thresholds can be set according to actual needs. For example, the first and second thresholds can be equal, or the first threshold can be greater than the second threshold; there is no limitation here. Furthermore, the first and second thresholds can differ for different air quality indicators. For instance, when the target air quality indicator is carbon dioxide content, the corresponding first threshold can be A, and the second threshold can be B, where A is greater than B; when the target air quality indicator is PM2.5 content, the corresponding first threshold can be C, and the second threshold can be D, where C is greater than D, and C is different from A, and B is also different from D.

[0044] In practice, when the target air quality indicator is carbon dioxide content, if the carbon dioxide content is higher than the first threshold, the fresh air function is activated until the carbon dioxide content falls below the second threshold, at which point the fresh air function is deactivated. When the target air quality indicator is PM2.5 content, if the PM2.5 content is higher than the first threshold, the purification function is activated until the PM2.5 content falls below the second threshold, at which point the fresh air function is deactivated.

[0045] In order to improve air quality while ensuring the comfort of pets, the control strategies for the fresh air function and / or purification function may differ depending on whether the pet is inside or outside the preset space in the embodiments of this specification.

[0046] When a pet is in a preset space, the pet's air quality requirements can be met through the following steps: when the target air quality index is lower than the first threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to periodically execute the air conditioning function corresponding to the target air quality index, wherein the running time of the air conditioning function is the first running time.

[0047] When a pet is outside a preset space, the pet's air quality needs can be met through the following steps: when the target air quality index is lower than the first threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to periodically execute the air conditioning function corresponding to the target air quality index, wherein the running time of the air conditioning function is a second running time, and the second running time is less than the first running time.

[0048] Specifically, when the target air quality indicator is carbon dioxide content, if the carbon dioxide content in the preset space is lower than the first threshold (i.e., less than the preset carbon dioxide content), the fresh air function will be periodically activated. When the target air quality indicator is PM2.5, if the PM2.5 content in the preset space is lower than the first threshold (i.e., less than the preset PM2.5 content), the purification function will be periodically activated.

[0049] Taking a room with an air conditioner as an example, when a pet is in the air-conditioned room, it means the pet is active in that room. Pet activity affects air quality; for example, it increases the carbon dioxide content and the number of bacteria in the air. Therefore, when the pet is in the air-conditioned room, the operating time of the fresh air and purification functions can be extended. When the pet is outside the air-conditioned room, because the pet's activity has a smaller impact on the air quality in the preset space, the operating time of the fresh air and purification functions can be shorter than when the pet is in the preset space; that is, the second operating time is shorter than the first operating time.

[0050] Both the first and second runtimes can be preset, for example, the first runtime is 10 minutes and the second runtime is 5 minutes. Alternatively, only the second runtime can be set, for example, the second runtime is 6 minutes. The first runtime is then automatically adjusted based on the pet's activity level. For example, if the pet's activity level is high, the runtime can be extended accordingly; if the pet's activity level is low, the runtime can be appropriately reduced.

[0051] In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of air circulation and ensure the comfort of pets, the embodiments of this specification can also adjust the air conditioner's fan speed and the range of air guide plate adjustment in different ways depending on whether the pet is in a preset space.

[0052] Regarding the adjustment of the air conditioner's fan speed: when the pet is inside the preset space, the air conditioner is controlled to deliver air at a first fan speed; when the pet is outside the preset space, the air conditioner is controlled to deliver air at a second fan speed, wherein the second fan speed is greater than the first fan speed.

[0053] Regarding the adjustment range of the air conditioner's air guide vane: when the pet is within the preset space, based on the location information, the first air guide vane adjustment range is determined, which is the range that avoids the area where the pet is located; when the pet is outside the preset space, the second air guide vane adjustment range is determined, which is the maximum adjustment range of the air guide vane.

[0054] Specifically, taking the room where the air conditioner is located as an example, if the pet is not in the room, to quickly circulate the air, the airflow can be increased and the air deflector adjusted. The maximum adjustment range of the air deflector can be used as the second adjustment range to adjust the airflow direction, thereby stirring the indoor air and increasing indoor air circulation. Especially when the air conditioner's purification function is activated, to maximize the sterilization and purification of the indoor air and allow more air to flow through the purification module corresponding to the purification function, the airflow can also be increased and the air deflector's oscillation range expanded when the air conditioner's purification function is activated.

[0055] When a pet is in a room with an air conditioner, considering that pets dislike being directly exposed to drafts, the first air deflector adjustment range can be set to avoid the area where the pet is located. Additionally, considering that strong airflow is not pet-friendly, a lower fan speed can be used when the pet is in the air-conditioned room. That is, the first fan speed of the air conditioner when the pet is in the designated space should be lower than the second fan speed when the pet is outside the designated space. The first and second fan speeds can be preset or determined based on the fan speed before entering the first or second air conditioning control strategy. For example, if the air conditioner's initial fan speed is used before entering the first control strategy, this initial fan speed remains unchanged after entering the first control strategy. After entering the second control strategy, the fan speed is increased from the initial speed, meaning the second fan speed is greater than the initial fan speed. The increase in fan speed can be set as needed.

[0056] It should be noted that different types of pets have different preferred living environments. For example, the ideal temperature for cats is 26-28 degrees Celsius, while for dogs it is 24-26 degrees Celsius. Therefore, to ensure the comfort of different types of pets, this embodiment may further include the following steps: determining the target pet species; determining the target environmental parameters corresponding to the target pet species based on the correspondence between pet species and environmental parameters; and adjusting the environmental setting parameters of the air conditioner based on the target environmental parameters.

[0057] Specifically, images of the pet can be captured using an image sensor, and image recognition can be performed on the captured images to determine the target pet species. The correspondence between pet species and environmental parameters can be pre-set, where environmental parameters can include temperature, humidity, and other parameters. Based on this correspondence, the target environmental parameters corresponding to the target species can be determined. For example, if the target species is a cat, the corresponding target environmental parameters are a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and humidity below 60%, then the air conditioner's environmental settings will be adjusted to a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and humidity below 60%.

[0058] The air conditioning control method provided in the embodiments of this specification can be applied when the user is away from home. Specifically, when the user is at home, they can manually adjust various operating parameters of the air conditioner for their pet. When the user leaves home, the air conditioner can be controlled using the method described in this embodiment. Before obtaining the pet's location information, it is also possible to detect whether the user is away from home. For example, a sensor can be used to detect whether anyone is home. If everyone is away, the air conditioning control method provided in the embodiments of this specification is executed.

[0059] Furthermore, corresponding modes can be set for the aforementioned air conditioning control strategies for pets, such as a pet care mode. The air conditioning control strategies described above can all be considered as air conditioning control strategies under the pet care mode. Therefore, the air conditioner can be first controlled to enter the pet care mode, and then the air conditioning control method provided in the embodiments of this specification can be executed under the pet care mode. It should be noted that entering the pet care mode can be done manually by the user through the air conditioner remote control, air conditioner control panel, air conditioning control application installed on the user terminal, voice control, etc., or it can be automatically entered after detecting that the user has left the house; this is not limited here.

[0060] In summary, the method provided in the embodiments of this specification detects the pet's location and suitable environmental parameters, and adjusts the air conditioner's operating parameters according to the pet's needs for air conditioning use. This ensures both room air purification and the pet's comfort, allowing the pet to live comfortably even when no one is home.
