[0007] In the embodiment of the present application, for the scenario of using the air conditioner after bathing, the user whether has finished bathing can be accurately judged based on the bathing device state and the position of the user, and the target mode is automatically entered after the user has finished bathing, so that the user is relieved from manually switching the target mode, and the user operation is simplified.

[0008] In some embodiments, the target user is determined in the preset working area corresponding to the air conditioner, including: determining N users located in the preset working area, N being a positive integer; and determining a user closest to the air conditioner from the N users as the target user.

[0009] In the embodiments of the present application, since the target user is a user using the target mode, the user closest to the air conditioner is determined as the target user, which can ensure that the determined target user is more reasonable and accurate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the target user is determined in the preset working area corresponding to the air conditioner, including: determining M users located in the preset working area, M being a positive integer; obtaining body temperature information of each of the M users; and determining a user whose body temperature information satisfies a preset body temperature range as the target user.

[0030] In view of the technical problems in the related art that the air conditioner cannot meet the change of user's demand for the use of the air conditioner, and the user experience is poor, the embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner control method, device, air conditioner and readable storage medium. After the air conditioner enters a target mode, the user feature information of a target user in a preset working area is obtained, and the operating parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted, so that the operating parameters of the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the change of the user feature information, and the use demand of the user for the air conditioner is met.

[0031] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] 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.

[0033] The air conditioning control method provided in this specification will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] 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:

[0035] S101: Control the air conditioner to enter the target mode;

[0036] S102: In the target mode, the target user is identified in the preset working area corresponding to the air conditioner, and the user characteristic information of the target user is obtained;

[0037] S103: Adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the user characteristic information.

[0038] The air conditioning control method provided in the embodiments of this specification can be applied to various scenarios, such as when a user uses the air conditioner after showering, or when a user enters the air-conditioned environment from a space with a large temperature difference (such as a space with a high temperature or a space with a low temperature). For ease of explanation, the scenario of a user using the air conditioner after showering is used as an example to describe the air conditioning control method provided in the embodiments of this specification.

[0039] In step S101, the target mode can be a mode that allows the air conditioner's operating parameters to be adjusted according to user needs. In this target mode, the air conditioner's operating parameters are variable, not fixed. Controlling the air conditioner to enter the target mode can be achieved in several ways, some of which are explained below.

[0040] The first method: respond to the user's selection of the target mode and enter the target mode.

[0041] Specifically, the user can select the target mode through an air conditioner remote controller, a control panel arranged on the air conditioner, an air conditioner control application installed on a user terminal, voice control, or the like. After detecting the selection operation of the user, the air conditioner enters the target mode.

[0042] The second mode: obtaining a device state of a bathing-related device located in a preset bathing area; when the device state is an end working state and it is detected that a user leaves the preset bathing area, controlling the air conditioner to enter the target mode.

[0043] The second mode is for a scenario in which the user uses the air conditioner after bathing. It should be noted that in the scenario in which the user uses the air conditioner after bathing, the user's body temperature rises after bathing, and especially after taking a bath in summer, many users use the air conditioner to cool down after bathing. Therefore, after detecting that the user finishes bathing, the air conditioner can be automatically controlled to enter the target mode.

[0044] Specifically, the preset bathing area can be an area in which the user bathes, for example, a bathroom, a shower room, or the like. The bathing-related device can include, but is not limited to, a bathtub, a shower head, a warm air device, and a ventilation device. These bathing-related devices can exchange data with the air conditioner, for example, the bathing-related device and the air conditioner can be directly connected in communication, or the bathing-related device and the air conditioner are both connected to a central control device, and data is forwarded through the central control device.

[0045] When the user bathes, the bathing-related device is started, and after the bathing is completed, the bathing-related device is turned off. In the embodiment of the present specification, the bathing-related device uploads its working state. When it is detected that the device state of the bathing-related device is an end working state, it can be determined that the user finishes bathing. In addition, the user can also turn off the bathing-related device during bathing. To prevent misjudgment, it can be determined that the user finishes bathing only after the end working state of the bathing-related device lasts for a certain period of time. After the user finishes bathing, to meet the user's demand for using the air conditioner, the air conditioner can be controlled to enter the target mode.

[0046] Further, a human body recognition sensor, for example, an infrared sensor, a laser radar, or the like, can be arranged in the preset bathing area to detect whether the user leaves the preset bathing area. If the state of the bathing-related device is an end working state and it is detected that the user leaves the preset bathing area, it indicates that the user finishes bathing. At this time, the air conditioner can be controlled to enter the target mode.

[0047] Further, in the embodiment of the present specification, a human body recognition sensor can also be arranged in the space where the air conditioner is located to detect whether a user enters the space. When it is detected that the user leaves the preset bathing area and the user enters the space where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the target mode.

[0048] After the air conditioner enters the target mode, a target user using the target mode is determined through step S102. For example, if the target mode is a post-shower working mode, the target user can be a user who has finished showering.

[0049] In step S102, the preset working area can be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset working area can be located within the air outlet range of the air conditioner, and the distance between the air conditioner and the area is less than a preset distance, which can be 2 m, 1.5 m, etc., which is not limited herein. In the embodiments of the present specification, since there can be multiple users in the preset working area, and some users are not the user using the target mode, it is necessary to determine the target user from the multiple users. The target user can be determined in multiple ways, two of which are described below.

[0050] The first way is to determine N users located in the preset working area, N being a positive integer; and determine the user closest to the air conditioner from the N users as the target user.

[0051] Specifically, an image sensor can be provided on the air conditioner, and image information including the preset working area can be collected through the image sensor. After the collected image information is identified, the preset working area and N users located in the preset working area are identified from the image information. Alternatively, a laser radar can be provided on the air conditioner, and point cloud data including the preset working area can be obtained. Based on the point cloud data, a model of the environment where the air conditioner is located can be established, and N users located in the preset working area can be determined in the established model. If there is only one user in the preset working area, the user can be determined as the target user. If there are multiple users in the preset working area, the distance between each user and the air conditioner can be further determined, for example, through a radar or an infrared sensor provided on the air conditioner to determine the distance between each user and the air conditioner, and the user closest to the air conditioner is determined as the target user.

[0052] It should be noted that the above example of the user using the target mode after showering is used. After showering, the user's body temperature rises, especially in summer, and many users have the need to use the air conditioner to cool down after showering. Therefore, after showering, the target user will usually actively approach the air conditioner so that the air outlet of the air conditioner can directly blow on himself to achieve the purpose of rapid cooling. Considering the needs of the user, the scheme of the embodiments of the present specification can determine the user closest to the air conditioner in the preset working area as the target user, and adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the relevant information of the target user. To meet the user's needs for using the air conditioner.

[0053] Further, the target user can be a user who stays in the preset working area for a period of time. If the user stays in the preset working area for a short time, it is very likely that the user only passes through the preset working area and does not want to use the air conditioner in the target mode. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present specification, when determining the target user, at least one user who stays in the preset working area for a time greater than a threshold value can be determined first, and then the user closest to the air conditioner is selected as the target user from the at least one user. The threshold value can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited here.

[0054] The second mode is: determining M users located in the preset working area, M being a positive integer; obtaining body temperature information of each of the M users; and taking a user whose body temperature information satisfies a preset body temperature range as the target user.

[0055] Specifically, the M users located in the preset working area can be determined according to the description in the first mode above, which will not be repeated here. In the embodiment of the present specification, a body temperature detection device can also be provided to detect the body temperature information of each user located in the preset working area. It should be noted that the body temperature of a human body is usually maintained within a normal body temperature range, for example, the normal body temperature collected by the body temperature detection device is 32-35°C. Since the target user usually has a higher or lower current body temperature, the air conditioner needs to cool or heat the body temperature, and therefore the preset body temperature range can be a non-normal body temperature range. In the specific implementation process, the preset body temperature range can be set according to actual needs, for example, the preset body temperature range can be greater than 35°C or less than 32°C.

[0056] Taking the preset body temperature range as an example, for example, the preset body temperature range is greater than 35°C, which can indicate to some extent that the user can have just taken a bath and the body temperature is high, or the user can have entered the preset working area from a place with a higher temperature (for example, from the outdoor with a higher temperature to the preset working area). At this time, it can be considered that the user has a demand for using the air conditioner to cool, and therefore the user can be taken as the target user.

[0057] Similarly, taking the preset body temperature range as an example, for example, the preset body temperature range is less than 32°C, which can indicate to some extent that the user has entered the preset working area from a place with a lower temperature. At this time, it can be considered that the user has a demand for using the air conditioner to heat, and therefore the user can be taken as the target user.

[0058] After the target user is determined, user feature information of the target user is acquired, wherein the user feature information is used to represent the use demand of the target user for the air conditioner, including but not limited to position information, body temperature information, gesture information of the target user. Specifically, when the body temperature information of the user meets a preset condition, the user performs a specific gesture, or the user is in a specific position, it may represent that the user has a specific use demand for the air conditioner.

[0059] In step S103, based on different user feature information, the operation parameters of the air conditioner can be adjusted correspondingly. Next, taking the user feature information as the position information, the gesture information and the body temperature information as examples, the adjustment of the operation parameters of the air conditioner is described respectively.

[0060] When the user feature information is the position information of the target user, the operation parameters of the air conditioner can be adjusted in the following manner: based on the position information of the target user, the air deflection direction of the air conditioner is determined, the air deflection direction is the direction of directly blowing the target user; based on the air deflection direction, the air conditioner is controlled to perform air supply, so that the air outlet of the air conditioner follows the target user.

[0061] Specifically, for the target user who has a demand of directly blowing the air outlet of the air conditioner, for example, the target user wants to quickly cool down, the air deflection direction of the air conditioner can be determined based on the position information of the target user. In the specific implementation process, the angle of the air deflection plate of the air conditioner can be calculated based on the position of the target user, so that the air deflection direction is the direction of aiming at the target user. In addition, since the target user may move, the position information of the target user is acquired in real time, and therefore the air deflection direction is also adjusted in real time according to the change of the position of the target user.

[0062] It should be noted that the user can set the air deflection direction in the target mode, for example, the user can set the air deflection direction in the target mode as the direction of directly blowing the user, so that after entering the target mode, the air deflection direction directly blows the target user. If the user sets the air deflection direction in the target mode as the direction of avoiding the user, then after entering the target mode, the position information of the target user is acquired, and then based on the position information of the target user, the air deflection direction is adjusted as the direction of avoiding the target user.

[0063] When the user feature information is the gesture information of the target user, the operation parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted in the following manner: based on a first preset corresponding relationship between the gesture information and the air deflection direction, the air deflection direction corresponding to the gesture information of the target user is determined; based on the air deflection direction corresponding to the gesture information of the target user, the air conditioner is controlled to perform air supply.

[0064] Specifically, the first preset correspondence relationship can be preconfigured. For example, based on user demand, the air guide direction can be divided into two types, one is the direction of directly blowing at the user, and the other is the direction of avoiding the user. For each air guide direction, corresponding gesture information is configured. For example, the gesture information corresponding to the direction of directly blowing at the user is waving or waving the hand, and the gesture information corresponding to the direction of avoiding the user is holding the arm horizontally. The gesture information of the target user is identified by an image sensor, a laser radar sensor or the like arranged on the air conditioner, and the identified gesture information of the target user is compared with the gesture information already configured in the first preset correspondence relationship. For example, the gesture information of the target user is sequentially compared with the configured gesture information, and if the similarity calculation result is greater than a preset similarity, it is determined that the gesture information of the target user is the configured gesture information. Further, based on the first preset correspondence relationship, the air guide direction corresponding to the gesture information is determined, and the air conditioner is controlled to operate in the air guide direction.

[0065] When the user feature information is the body temperature information of the target user, the operation parameter of the air conditioner is adjusted in the following manner: based on a second preset correspondence relationship between the body temperature information and the set temperature, a target set temperature corresponding to the body temperature information of the target user is determined; and the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the target set temperature.

[0066] Specifically, the second preset correspondence relationship can be preconfigured. For example, when the body temperature information is higher than 35 DEG C, the corresponding set temperature is 24 DEG C, and when the body temperature information is lower than or equal to 35 DEG C, the corresponding set temperature is 22 DEG C. The set temperature can ensure that the temperature difference between the user's body temperature and the set temperature is not too large, so as to avoid causing the user to feel uncomfortable.

[0067] In the specific implementation process, the body temperature information of the target user can be obtained by a body temperature detection device. For example, the body temperature information of the target user is 35.5 DEG C, and the target set temperature corresponding to 35.5 DEG C is obtained by searching the second preset correspondence relationship. 24 DEG C, further, the current set temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted to 24 DEG C. Of course, the specific values of the body temperature information and the set temperature in the second preset correspondence relationship can be set according to actual needs, which are not limited here.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, it is considered that the target user uses the target mode of the air conditioner, and the purpose is to quickly cool or heat himself through the air conditioner. Therefore, in the specific implementation process, after the target user is determined from the preset working area, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at a target air speed in a first preset time, wherein the target air speed is greater than the air speed before entering the target mode.

[0069] For example, if the target user is a user who uses the target mode after bathing, the target user expects the air conditioner to concentrate on himself and blow strong wind to quickly cool down after receiving the bathing. The first preset time length can be the time length of concentrating on the target user and blowing strong wind. The first preset time length can be set by the user or configured by the system, which is not limited here.

[0070] Generally, after starting, the air conditioner usually runs in the default mode or the mode used when the last time it is turned off. When the target user uses the target mode, the mode of the air conditioner needs to be switched from the mode at startup to the target mode. It should be noted that since the target mode can be regarded as the mode of the user in a specific scenario (such as the scenario of using the air conditioner after bathing), the frequency of use is lower than that of other commonly used modes. Therefore, the air conditioner can be set not to use the target mode as the startup mode of the air conditioner when starting to ensure the daily air conditioner use demand and avoid frequent mode switching of the user when using the air conditioner daily. In this way, before entering the target mode, the air speed of the air conditioner can be obtained first, and the target air speed after entering the target mode can be determined according to the air speed, wherein the target air speed is greater than the air speed before entering the target mode, so as to achieve strong air speed.

[0071] In addition, the target air speed can also be pre-configured in addition to being determined by the above-mentioned method. For example, the system pre-configures a corresponding target air speed for the target mode, which is greater than the preset air speed; or the target user can set the target air speed according to his own needs, for example, the target user sets the target air speed to the strong wind gear. Of course, the target air speed can also be determined by other methods, which will not be exemplified one by one here.

[0072] It should be understood that the adjustment methods of the air conditioner running parameters mentioned above can be combined with each other. For example, after detecting the target user, the current set temperature can be determined according to the body temperature information of the target user, and at the same time, the guide direction is aimed at the target user according to the position information of the target user, and strong air supply is performed for a first preset time length. Through the mutual combination of the adjustment methods of the air conditioner running parameters, the user demand can be better met.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present specification, it is considered that the target user will not use the target mode for a long time. For example, after the user after bathing uses the target mode to achieve the effect of cooling, if the user continues to use the target mode to make the air conditioner blow directly at a strong wind speed, the user's discomfort may be increased. Therefore, in the specific implementation process, after the air conditioner runs for a second preset time length at the adjusted operating parameter, the air conditioner is controlled to exit the target mode. After exiting the target mode, the air conditioner can run at the operating parameter before entering the target mode or run at a preconfigured operating parameter, which is not limited here. It should be noted that the second preset time length can be set according to actual needs, for example, the second preset time length can be 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.

[0074] In order to better understand the air conditioner control method provided by the embodiments of the present specification, the following will take the scene of using the air conditioner after bathing as an example to describe the air conditioner control method provided by the embodiments of the present specification: after the user finishes bathing, the user needs to use the air conditioner for rapid cooling. After the air conditioner enters the target mode, if the target user is detected in the preset working area, it indicates that the target user has finished bathing and is close to the air conditioner and wants the air conditioner to blow concentratedly on the target user. The air conditioner determines the current set temperature according to the collected body temperature information of the target user, and at the same time, determines the air guide direction as the direction of aiming at the target user according to the collected position information of the target user. The air conditioner blows at a strong wind speed aiming at the user at the set temperature, and when the user position information changes, the air guide direction is adjusted in real time to realize that the air guide direction follows the user movement; when the user gesture is detected, the gesture is recognized and the operation corresponding to the gesture is performed. After the air conditioner runs for a preset time length at the adjusted operating parameter, the target mode is exited, and the air conditioner runs according to the state before entering the target mode.
