Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical control technology, and more specifically, to a control method, control device, computer equipment, and medium for a humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Humidifiers can increase the moisture in the air, making dry air more humid and reducing discomfort caused by dry air, such as tight skin, dry mouth, cough, and colds.

[0003] Humidifiers typically use a specific fan speed to transport water vapor to locations further away from the humidifier, thus humidifying the air. However, if the fan speed is too high, the humidity near the humidifier may not reach the required level; conversely, if the fan speed is too low, the humidity in locations farther away from the humidifier may not reach the required level, resulting in uneven humidity levels in the air. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a humidifier control method, control device, computer equipment and medium to solve the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to uniformly humidify a large area.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for controlling a humidifier, including:

[0006] Based on the received uniform humidification command, multiple specified working levels, the running time of each specified working level, and the target humidification space are determined; the target humidification space is the humidification space composed of the humidification range of the multiple specified working levels.

[0007] Based on the running time of each working level, the humidifier is controlled to work back and forth between multiple designated working levels in a preset order to uniformly humidify the target humidification space.

[0008] Optionally, the uniform humidification command carries the multiple specified operating levels but does not carry the target humidification space; before the step of determining the multiple specified operating levels, the runtime of each specified operating level, and the target humidification space based on the received uniform humidification command, the control method further includes:

[0009] Receive selection instructions for multiple candidate operating modes of the humidifier, and determine multiple specified operating modes from the multiple candidate operating modes.

[0010] Optionally, the target humidification space is determined by the following steps:

[0012] The target humidification space is determined based on the humidification range of each specified working level.

[0013] Optionally, the uniform humidification command carries the target humidification space but does not carry the multiple specified operating levels; before the step of determining the multiple specified operating levels, the runtime of each specified operating level, and the target humidification space based on the received uniform humidification command, the control method further includes:

[0014] Receive selection instructions for multiple candidate humidification spaces of the humidifier, and determine multiple specified operating levels among the multiple candidate humidification spaces.

[0015] Optionally, the specified working level is determined through the following steps:

[0016] Based on the humidification range corresponding to the multiple candidate operating levels of the humidifier, multiple designated operating levels with humidification ranges located within the target humidification space are determined.

[0017] Optionally, the control method further includes:

[0018] If the humidity sensor of the humidifier detects that the humidity of the target humidification space has reached the preset requirement, the humidifier will be controlled to stop working.

[0019] Alternatively, if the water level in the humidifier is detected to be less than the preset water level, the humidifier will be controlled to stop working.

[0020] Optionally, the running time of the working mode is determined based on the output angle, output speed and humidification range of the water mist particles output by the humidifier at the lower working mode.

[0024] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a computer device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the above-described method.

[0025] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, performs the steps of the above-described method.

[0026] The humidifier control method provided in this application firstly determines multiple specified working levels, the running time of each specified working level, and the target humidification space based on the received uniform humidification command; the target humidification space is a humidification space composed of the humidification range of multiple specified working levels; then, based on the running time of each working level, the humidifier is controlled to work back and forth between multiple specified working levels in a preset order to uniformly humidify the target humidification space.

[0027] In some embodiments, in uniform humidification mode, by setting a corresponding running time for each working level, it is ensured that the water mist particles emitted by that working level can uniformly humidify the area between the highest output position of the water mist and the ground within the running time. By controlling multiple working levels to work in a cycle, it is possible to uniformly humidify the area between the highest output position of multiple working levels and the ground, resulting in more uniform air humidity within a large humidification range.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Humidifiers increase the humidity of the air around them. They typically have multiple operating speeds, each with a fixed fan speed. This fan speed transports the water mist particles (ultrafine particles) generated by the evaporation unit to a specific location. With a fixed operating speed, humidification can only be applied to the area corresponding to that speed. If the user needs to humidify other areas, they must manually select a different operating speed. However, blindly selecting a speed by the user will not accurately and evenly humidify the desired area.

[0037] Based on the above-mentioned deficiencies, this application provides a control method for a humidifier, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0038] S101, based on the received uniform humidification command, determine multiple specified working levels, the running time of each specified working level, and the target humidification space; the target humidification space is the humidification space composed of the humidification ranges of the multiple specified working levels;

[0039] S102, based on the running time of each working level, control the humidifier to work back and forth between multiple specified working levels in a preset order to uniformly humidify the target humidification space.

[0040] The humidifier control method of this application can be applied to the control device of the humidifier (the control device can be a circuit device for controlling the operation of the humidifier (e.g., a microcontroller, semiconductor chip, etc. loaded with a control program)) or to a terminal device that is connected to the humidifier wirelessly or via a wired connection.

[0041] In step S101 above, the humidifier can have multiple operating modes. These modes define how the humidifier operates. Operating modes can be based on operating time (e.g., sleep mode, where the humidifier automatically shuts off after a period of operation) or on humidification range (e.g., uniform humidification mode, where the humidifier humidifies the range desired by the user). The uniform humidification command controls the humidifier to operate in uniform humidification mode. In uniform humidification mode, the humidifier operates back and forth between multiple specified operating levels according to a preset order. The preset order is a pre-set arrangement of the various specified operating levels, such as from largest to smallest or from smallest to largest.

[0042] The designated operating level is the operating level that the humidifier needs to operate at after entering the uniform humidification mode. The operating level is used to characterize the blowing intensity (or blowing speed) of the humidifier. The humidifier uses the blown air to transport the atomized water mist particles to a location far away from the humidifier. However, because each water mist particle has a different radius (e.g., the radius of a water mist particle is 1-10 micrometers) and a different mass (e.g., the mass of a water mist particle is 4-10 micrograms), the transmission distance of different water mist particles is different at the same wind speed. Therefore, the corresponding humidification range can be determined according to the transmission distance of different water mist particles at a certain operating level. A humidifier includes an atomizing device and a fan. The atomizing device atomizes water into water mist particles, which then leave the water surface. These particles are carried by the airflow from the fan to another location in the air, thus humidifying the air. The stronger the fan, the farther the water mist particles are transported. Because the fan determines the transport location of the water mist particles, the operating setting controls the fan's airflow intensity, thereby controlling the transport distance. The transport distance at each operating setting is determined by the output speed of the water mist particles at that setting; a higher output speed results in a longer transport distance.

[0043] In this application, the transmission distance can be calculated using the following formula:

[0044]

[0045] Where S is the transmission distance, m is the mass of the water mist particles, and V v Let V be the velocity of the water mist particle at time v, V0 be the velocity of the water mist particle at the initial time, π be pi, r be the radius of the water mist particle, and η be the viscosity of the air.

[0046] The specific process of deriving the transmission distance includes the following steps:

[0047] 1) First, calculate air resistance using the following formula:

[0048] f=6πηrv; (Formula 2)

[0049] Where f is air resistance, π is pi, r is the radius of the water mist particle, η is the viscosity of air, and v is the velocity of the water mist particle.

[0050] 2) Use the following formula to calculate the acceleration of water mist particles in the air using air resistance:

[0051]

[0052] Where a is the acceleration of the water mist particle in the air, f is the air resistance, and m is the mass of the water mist particle.

[0053] 3) Based on formula 3 above, it can be transformed into the following formula:

[0054]

[0055] in, Let the second derivative of the velocity be used to express the acceleration. Let the first derivative of the distance represent the velocity, m be the mass of the water mist particle, f be the air resistance, π be pi, r be the radius of the water mist particle, and η be the viscosity of the air.

[0056] 4) At time t v Based on Equation 4, the following formula can be obtained within the period up to time t0:

[0057]

[0058] in, Let the second derivative of the velocity be used to express the acceleration. Let the first derivative of the distance represent the velocity, m be the mass of the water mist particle, π be pi, r be the radius of the water mist particle, η be the viscosity of the air, and t be the velocity. v Let v be the v-th time and t0 be the initial time.

[0059] 5) Based on the above formula 5, it can be converted into the following formula:

[0060]

[0061] in, The first derivative of the distance is represented as t v The speed of time, The first derivative of the distance represents the velocity at time t0 (i.e., the initial velocity), and ΔS is the velocity from time t0 to t... v The distance at time, m is the mass of the water mist particle, π is pi, r is the radius of the water mist particle, η is the viscosity of air, and tv Let v be the v-th time and t0 be the initial time.

[0062] 6) Based on the above formula 6, we can convert it into formula 1, which is the formula for calculating the transmission distance:

[0063]

[0064] Where S is the transmission distance, m is the mass of the water mist particles, and V v Let V be the velocity of the water mist particle at time v, V0 be the velocity of the water mist particle at the initial time, π be pi, r be the radius of the water mist particle, and v be the viscosity of the air.

[0065] In uniform humidification mode, the humidifier's operating time is controlled at each specified operating level; that is, the operating time of the fan in the humidifier is controlled at each specified operating level. The humidification range can be determined based on the transmission distance and angle of the water mist particles at each specified operating level in uniform humidification mode, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, at a certain fixed setting, water mist particles will only disperse within a relatively small and fixed area. That is, when the transmission speed of the water mist particles decreases to 0, they will no longer move horizontally but will only move towards the ground due to gravity. Thus, at a given operating setting, the water mist particles will only diffuse within a corresponding fixed area. The operating time is determined based on the humidification range of the humidifier at the specified operating setting, as well as the output angle and output speed of the water mist particles. The output angle determines the highest output position of the water mist particles in the air, and the operating time allows the water mist particles to diffuse evenly between the highest output position at the current operating setting and the ground. The humidification range is the range formed by the transmission distance of water mist particles with different radii and masses. The output angle can be determined based on the angle of the water mist particle output port of the humidifier, and the output speed can be determined by the blowing intensity of the humidifier's fan. Figure 2 As shown, the fan directs water mist particles from the outlet, causing them to travel through the air at the outlet's angle. Of course, due to gravity, the particles will fall downwards when their output speed reaches zero. The output angle can also be determined by the fan's blowing angle, and the output speed can be determined by the fan's blowing intensity, for example... Figure 3As shown, the fan device has a certain blowing angle (which can be determined by the angle of the air outlet). When the water mist particles obtained by the humidifier reach the air outlet of the fan device, the water mist particles will run in the air along the blowing angle of the air outlet. Of course, due to the influence of gravity, the water mist particles will fall downwards when the output speed reaches 0.

[0066] The running time of this application can be calculated using the following formula:

[0067]

[0068] Where t is the working time at the working setting in uniform humidification mode, m is the mass of the water mist particles, V is the output velocity of the water mist particles at the working setting, π is pi, r is the radius of the water mist particles, η is the viscosity of air, h is the highest output position of the water mist particles in the vertical direction at the working setting, and L is the farthest output position of the water mist particles in the horizontal direction at the working setting.

[0069] The furthest horizontal output position L of the aforementioned water mist particles at the working setting can be calculated using the following formula:

[0070] L=S cosσ=C1V cosσ; (Formula 8)

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] Where S is the transmission distance, L is the farthest output position of the water mist particle in the horizontal direction under the working mode, σ is the output angle of the water mist particle under the working mode, m is the mass of the water mist particle, V is the output velocity of the water mist particle under the working mode, π is pi, r is the radius of the water mist particle, η is the viscosity of air, C1 is the intermediate quantity, X1 is the maximum distance in the horizontal direction, and V1 is the initial velocity in the horizontal direction.

[0074] The highest output position h of the water mist particles in the vertical direction at the working setting can be calculated using the following formula:

[0075] h=S sinσ=C2V sinσ; (Formula 11)

[0076]

[0077]

[0078] Where S is the transmission distance, h is the highest output position of the water mist particle in the vertical direction at the working setting, σ is the output angle of the water mist particle at the working setting, m is the mass of the water mist particle, V is the output velocity of the water mist particle at the working setting, π is pi, r is the radius of the water mist particle, η is the viscosity of air, C2 is the intermediate quantity, X2 is the maximum distance in the vertical direction, and V2 is the initial velocity in the vertical direction.

[0079] In practice, upon receiving a uniform humidification command, the system first determines the multiple specified operating levels and humidification ranges of the humidifier after entering uniform humidification mode, as well as the target humidification space. The multiple specified operating levels can be included in the uniform humidification command or calculated based on the target humidification space. The target humidification space can also be included in the uniform humidification command or calculated based on the specified operating levels. The uniform humidification command may only include the multiple specified operating levels without specifying the target humidification space; or, it may include only the target humidification space without specifying the multiple specified operating levels; or it may include both the target humidification space and the multiple specified operating levels.

[0080] In uniform humidification mode, the runtime of each specified working level of the humidifier can be set when the humidifier is initially set (equivalent to the output angle of the water mist particles being fixed at each working level), or it can be determined according to the output angle of the water mist particles selected by the user. Because the output angle of the water mist particles is different, the transmission distance of the water mist particles is also different. The time consumed for the water mist particles to diffuse evenly between the highest output position and the ground at different transmission distances is different.

[0081] In step S102 above, after determining the specified working level and the running time of the specified working level of the humidifier in the uniform humidification mode through step S101, as well as the target humidification space, the humidifier will be controlled to work back and forth according to the preset order of multiple specified working levels based on the running time of each specified working level. This ensures that the highest output position corresponding to each working level and the ground can be uniformly humidified, and thus the highest output position corresponding to multiple levels and the ground form a large humidification range.

[0082] For example, a humidifier has 5 settings, with designated operating settings being settings 2, 3, and 4. The preset order is settings 2, 3, and 4. In uniform humidification mode, the humidifier first operates at setting 2. When the operating time of setting 2 reaches the corresponding running time, the humidifier switches to setting 3. When the operating time of setting 3 reaches the corresponding running time, the humidifier switches to setting 4. When the operating time of setting 4 reaches the corresponding running time, the humidifier switches to setting 3. When the operating time of setting 3 reaches the corresponding running time, the humidifier switches to setting 2. When the operating time of setting 2 reaches the corresponding running time, the humidifier switches to setting 3, and so on, to achieve uniform humidification of the target humidification space composed of the humidification ranges of settings 2, 3, and 4.

[0083] The humidifier control method provided in this application embodiment, through the above three steps, in uniform humidification mode, by setting a corresponding running time for each specified working level, ensures that the water mist particles emitted by the working level can uniformly humidify the area between the highest output position of the working level and the ground within the running time, and controls multiple working levels to work in a cycle, so that the area between the highest output position of multiple working levels and the ground can be uniformly humidified, and the air humidity is more uniform within a large humidification range.

[0084] The humidifier can have multiple operating levels, but in uniform humidification mode, not all operating levels of the humidifier need to be activated. The user can select the level they need. That is, the uniform humidification command carries the multiple specified operating levels but does not specify the target humidification space. Before step S101, the control method further includes:

[0085] Step 1011: Receive selection instructions for multiple candidate operating modes of the humidifier, and determine multiple specified target operating modes from the multiple candidate operating modes.

[0086] In step 1011 above, the first selection instruction is used to characterize the instruction of the specified working level selected by the user. The second selection instruction is used to determine multiple specified working levels required by the user among all working levels of the humidifier. The multiple specified working levels can be consecutive (for example, the first target working levels are 1, 2, and 3), or they can be non-consecutive (for example, the first target working levels are 1, 2, and 5).

[0087] Based on step 1011, which provides the user's desired operating level, the runtime corresponding to that operating level is determined. When determining the runtime, if the humidifier's output angle is fixed, the runtime for each operating level will also be fixed. In this case, it's unnecessary to calculate the runtime each time; the runtime for each operating level only needs to be set once. If the humidifier's output angle is not fixed when determining the runtime—meaning it can be adjusted adaptively according to the user's needs—the distance between the highest output position and the ground will differ depending on the output angle. Consequently, the time required to uniformly humidify the area between the highest output position and the ground will also vary, necessitating a re-determination of the runtime. Similarly, when the humidifier's output angle is fixed, the humidification range is also relatively fixed; that is, the highest output position for each operating level will not change. Therefore, after determining the desired operating level, the humidification range can be determined based on the highest output position of that specified operating level. When the output angle of the humidifier is not fixed, the highest output position corresponding to each working level will change with the different output angles. Therefore, when determining the humidification range, it is necessary to first determine the output position of the first target working level based on the output angle, and then determine the humidification range based on the output position of each first target working level.

[0088] In step 1031 above, multiple specified working levels are controlled to work in a cycle according to the determined running time of each specified working level. For example, the specified working levels are 1, 2, and 3. The running time of specified working level 1 is 2 minutes, the running time of specified working level 2 is 3 minutes, and the running time of specified working level 3 is 4 minutes. During the humidifier's cyclic operation, specified working level 1 is first controlled to run for 2 minutes, then specified working level 2 is controlled to run for 3 minutes, then specified working level 3 is controlled to run for 4 minutes, then specified working level 2 is controlled to run for 3 minutes, then specified working level 1 is controlled to run for 2 minutes, and so on. That is, during the process of controlling multiple specified working levels to work in a cycle, each working level will not work continuously.

[0089] Since each specified operating level has its own corresponding humidification range, the target humidification space can be determined using the humidification range of each specified operating level. In other words, the target humidification space is determined through the following steps:

[0090] Step 1012: Determine the humidification range for each specified operating level;

[0091] Step 1013: Determine the target humidification space based on the humidification range of each specified working level.

[0092] In steps 1012 and 1013 above, each working setting has its own humidification range. After determining the humidification range corresponding to a specified working setting, a small space will be formed between the highest position that different water mist particles can reach in the humidification range corresponding to each specified working setting and the ground. The target humidification space can be formed by using the small spaces corresponding to multiple specified working settings.

[0093] The humidifier can also have multiple selectable humidification spaces. The specified operating level of the humidifier in uniform humidification mode can be determined based on the target humidification space selected by the user. That is, the uniform humidification command carries the target humidification space but does not include the multiple specified operating levels. Before step S101, the control method further includes:

[0094] Step 1014: Receive a second selection instruction for multiple candidate humidification spaces of the humidifier, and determine the target humidification space.

[0095] In step 1014 above, the second selection instruction is used to represent the spatial value of the target humidification space selected by the user. The spatial value can be entered by the user through a text engine or selected through a selection control.

[0096] After determining the target humidification space, the specified operating level can be determined using the target humidification space. In other words, the specified operating level is determined through the following steps:

[0097] Step 1015: Based on the humidification range corresponding to the multiple candidate operating levels of the humidifier, determine multiple designated operating levels whose humidification range is located within the target humidification space.

[0098] In step 1015 above, the output speed of each working speed is fixed, so the transmission distance of water mist particles under each working speed is also fixed. Thus, the humidification range corresponding to each speed is also fixed. The specified working speed within the target humidification space selected by the user is determined from the humidification range of multiple working speeds.

[0099] The humidifier will not work continuously. Under certain specific conditions, the humidifier will stop working. Controlling the humidifier to stop working can be achieved through any one or more of the following methods:

[0100] Step 104: If the humidity sensor of the humidifier detects that the humidity of the target humidification space has reached the preset requirement, then the humidifier is controlled to stop working.

[0101] Step 105, or, if the water level in the humidifier is detected to be less than the preset water level, then control the humidifier to stop working;

[0102] Step 106, or, if the humidifier's working time reaches a preset time, then control the humidifier to stop working;

[0103] Step 107, or, if a stop command is received for the humidifier, control the humidifier to stop working.

[0104] In step 104 above, this solution includes a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor and humidifier are either integrated or not integrated. If the humidity sensor and humidifier are integrated, and the humidification range includes the vicinity of the humidifier, the humidity sensor integrated with the humidifier can detect the humidity within the target humidification space. When the humidity sensor detects that the humidity in the target humidification space reaches a preset requirement, it controls the humidifier to stop working. If the humidity sensor and humidifier are not integrated, the humidity sensor can be placed at any location within the target humidification space. The humidity sensor can detect the humidity within the target humidification space, and when the humidity sensor detects that the humidity in the target humidification space reaches a preset requirement, it controls the humidifier to stop working.

[0105] In step 105 above, the preset water volume is manually set and can be a fixed value. The humidifier also includes a water volume detection device. If the device detects that the water volume in the humidifier is less than the preset volume, it indicates that the water volume is too low and the humidifier cannot continue to atomize water mist particles. To prevent the humidifier from working ineffectively without water, it will stop operating when the water volume is too low.

[0106] In step 106 above, the preset duration can be manually set, for example, the user can set the humidifier to work for 1 hour. The humidifier will have a timing device. After the user sets the preset duration, the humidifier's timing device will start timing. After the timer reaches the preset duration, the humidifier will stop working.

[0107] In step 107 above, the user can also actively control the humidifier to stop working. That is, the user will send a stop command to the humidifier, and the humidifier will stop working according to the stop command.

[0108] This application provides a control device for a humidifier, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the control device includes:

[0109] The determining module 401 is used to determine multiple specified working levels, the running time of each specified working level, and the target humidification space according to the received uniform humidification command; the target humidification space is the humidification space composed of the humidification range of multiple specified working levels.

[0110] The humidification module 402 is used to control the humidifier to work back and forth between multiple specified working levels in a preset order according to the running time of each working level, so as to uniformly humidify the target humidification space.

[0111] Optionally, the determining module includes:

[0112] The first receiving unit is configured to receive a first selection instruction for multiple candidate operating modes of the humidifier, and to determine multiple specified operating modes from the multiple candidate operating modes.

[0113] Optionally, the control device further includes:

[0114] The range determination module is used to determine the humidification range for each specified working level;

[0115] The space determination module is used to determine the target humidification space based on the humidification range of each specified working level.

[0116] Optionally, the determining module includes:

[0117] The second receiving unit is used to receive a second selection instruction for multiple candidate humidification spaces of the humidifier and determine the target humidification space.

[0118] Optionally, the control device further includes:

[0119] A gear selection module is used to determine multiple specified working gears whose humidification ranges are located within the target humidification space, based on the humidification ranges corresponding to the multiple candidate working gears of the humidifier. Optionally, the control device further includes:

[0120] The first stop module is used to control the humidifier to stop working if the humidity sensor of the humidifier detects that the humidity of the target humidification space has reached a preset requirement.

[0121] Alternatively, a second stop module is used to control the humidifier to stop working if it is detected that the water volume in the humidifier is less than a preset water volume.

[0122] Optionally, the runtime of the specified operating level is determined based on the humidification range of the humidifier and the output angle and output speed of the output water mist particles at the specified operating level.

[0123] Corresponding to Figure 1 In addition to the control method for the humidifier in the present application, this embodiment also provides a computer device 500, such as... Figure 5As shown, the device includes a memory 501, a processor 502, and a computer program stored in the memory 501 and executable on the processor 502, wherein the processor 502 executes the computer program to implement the control method of the humidifier.

[0124] Specifically, the memory 501 and processor 502 can be general-purpose memory and processor, without any specific limitations. When the processor 502 runs the computer program stored in the memory 501, it can execute the control method of the humidifier, which solves the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to humidify a relatively large area evenly.

[0125] Corresponding to Figure 1 In addition to the control method for the humidifier described above, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, performs the steps of the control method for the humidifier described above.

[0126] Specifically, the storage medium can be a general-purpose storage medium, such as a portable disk or hard drive. When the computer program on the storage medium is run, it can execute the control method of the humidifier described above, solving the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to uniformly humidify a large area. In the uniform humidification mode, this application sets a corresponding running time for each working level, so that within the running time, it can ensure that the water mist particles emitted by the working level can uniformly humidify the area between the highest output position of the water mist of the working level and the ground, and controls multiple working levels to work in a cycle. This allows for uniform humidification between the highest output position of multiple working levels and the ground, resulting in more uniform air humidity within a large humidification range.

[0129] In addition, the functional units in the embodiments provided in this application can be integrated into one processing unit, or each unit can exist physically separately, or two or more units can be integrated into one unit.

[0130] If the aforementioned functions are implemented as software functional units and sold or used as independent products, they can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of this application, in essence, or the part that contributes to the prior art, or a portion of the technical solution, can be embodied in the form of a software product.
