[0002] Existing air conditioners typically control temperature using a remote control, allowing users to adjust the temperature based on their body temperature. In the age of intelligent, connected everything, daily use of remote controls still presents many challenges. For example, every time you want to adjust the temperature, you need to find the remote. Room temperature significantly impacts sleep quality.

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment of a method for controlling an air conditioner is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0034] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the air conditioner includes the following steps:

[0035] Step S102, obtaining the current characteristic information of the target object and the current comfortable temperature of the target object, wherein the current comfortable temperature is obtained from a comfort temperature set based on the current state information of the target object, and the comfort temperature set stores the comfortable temperature of the target object in different states. The comfortable temperature is learned based on multiple historical surface temperatures of the target object within a historical time period. The current characteristic information at least includes the current activity state and surface temperature of the target object.

[0036] Optionally, the target object may be a person in the room where the air conditioner is located.

[0037] Optionally, the current feature information includes: the current activity status of the people in the room (for example, active, sleeping, watching TV), etc., and the surface temperature of the people in the room. The surface temperature here can be obtained through a wearable device worn by the user, wherein the wearable device here can be a smart bracelet or other smart devices. In addition, the surface temperature of the person can also be obtained through an infrared device in the room. The current activity status here can be obtained by a wearable device combined with an image acquisition device.

[0038] Optionally, the comfort temperature set may include comfort temperatures learned based on multiple historical body surface temperatures of the person in the room during a historical time period. The historical body surface temperatures may be temperatures at which the person felt comfortable when the air conditioner was in operation at the time. The comfortable temperature may be the temperature at which the air conditioner has been continuously operated in the current operating mode for a predetermined period of time. That is, when the person is in the room and the air conditioner continuously operates in a certain operating mode for a period of time without receiving any user adjustment instructions, the comfort temperature may be considered to be the person's body surface temperature at the time of activity in this operating mode. Therefore, the comfort temperature of the person in various operating modes of the air conditioner can be learned based on multiple historical body surface temperatures during a historical time period.

[0039] Optionally, the current comfortable temperature may be selected based on the activity status of the person.

[0040] For example, when a person is detected in the room, the air conditioner can be triggered to start. After the air conditioner runs for a period of time, the current characteristic information of the person can be obtained to facilitate the subsequent determination of the initial operation mode of the air conditioner.

[0041] Step S104: obtaining the current ambient temperature of the area where the target object is located.

[0042] Optionally, during the operation of the air conditioner, the current ambient temperature of the area where the above-mentioned personnel are located can be collected by the environmental information collection component.

[0043] Step S106 , using the current ambient temperature and the current comfortable temperature, the initial operation mode determined based on the current characteristic information is corrected to obtain a target operation mode.

[0044] In this embodiment, the initial operating mode of the air conditioner can be determined based on the current characteristic information obtained in the above step S102; and the initial operating mode can be corrected using the current comfort temperature obtained in step S102 and the current ambient temperature obtained in step S104 to obtain the target operating mode.

[0045] Step S108: Run according to the target operation mode.

[0046] From the above, it can be seen that in an embodiment of the present invention, the initial operating mode of the air conditioner can be generated based on the current characteristic information of the person in the room where the air conditioner is located, for example, the person's body surface temperature and activity status; then the current ambient temperature of the room can be obtained; the initial operating mode is corrected using the person's current comfort temperature and the current ambient temperature to obtain the target operating mode, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically adjusting the air conditioner according to the person's activity status and body surface comfort temperature, improving the intelligence of the air conditioner, and providing users with a more comfortable experience.

[0047] It is easy to notice that since the air conditioner can be automatically adjusted according to the ambient temperature of the room where the air conditioner is located and the comfort temperature of the people, the air conditioner can be made more intelligent, which provides convenience to the user's life to a great extent; for example, when the user is sleeping, the operation mode of the air conditioner can be automatically adjusted according to the user's current body surface temperature and comfort temperature. The user does not need to find the remote control to adjust the operation mode of the air conditioner, and the user's sleep will not be interrupted.

[0048] Therefore, the technical solution provided by Example 1 of the present invention solves the technical problem in the related art that the air conditioner has a relatively low degree of intelligence and cannot meet the user's higher usage requirements, resulting in a low user experience.

[0049] According to the above embodiment of the invention, before obtaining the current characteristic information of the target object and the current comfort temperature of the target object, the control method of the air conditioner may further include: receiving first request information from the target terminal device, wherein the target terminal device is connected to the wearable smart device and obtains the characteristic information of the target object from the wearable smart device, and the wearable smart device is used to collect the current characteristic information of the target object; verifying the first request information, and if the verification is passed, determining to establish a communication relationship with the target terminal device.

[0050] In this embodiment, a user can send a connection request to the air conditioner through a target terminal device, such as a mobile phone, to establish a communication relationship with the air conditioner to facilitate information transmission. The mobile phone can connect to a wearable device to obtain the user's body surface temperature from the wearable device, and can also obtain the user's simple activity status from the wearable device, such as active status and sleep status. Other activity status can be obtained in conjunction with an image acquisition device.

[0051] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, before obtaining the current characteristic information of the target object and the current comfort temperature of the target object, the control method of the air conditioner may further include: sending a second request information to the cloud, wherein the cloud is communicated with the target terminal device and obtains the current characteristic information of the target object from the target terminal device; after receiving feedback information made by the cloud based on the second request information, determining to establish a communication relationship with the cloud.

[0052] In this embodiment, the air conditioner may send a request message to the cloud to request to establish a communication relationship in the cloud, so as to obtain the user's current comfortable temperature from the cloud.

[0053] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a control system of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the hardware includes a bracelet, an air conditioner and a temperature detection module, and the cloud serves as the server for information interaction. The bracelet contains an optical heart rate sensor, a galvanic skin response sensor and a temperature sensor. The heart rate, arousal level and surface temperature data obtained by the three sensors are used to comprehensively analyze the state of the human body (exercise, leisure, light sleep, deep sleep, etc.); the air conditioner is the main control part, which receives data and instructions sent by the cloud, analyzes the data collected by the bracelet, obtains a temperature suitable for the human body, and then controls the temperature; the cloud can be regarded as a data interaction center, which receives various data collected by the bracelet, and then transmits these data to service terminals such as air conditioners and mobile phones; the temperature monitoring module collects temperature within the range of human activities, and cooperates with the air conditioner to achieve a suitable temperature for the current state of the human body. By Figure 2 It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present invention, the human body status information is collected through the smart bracelet, and then the information interaction between the smart bracelet and the air conditioner is realized through the cloud, and they work together to create a comfortable environment for the user.

[0054] It should be noted that cloud-based data exchange uses IoT technology, which enables the interconnection of all things and provides favorable conditions for subsequent automation improvements. However, this also requires high costs. The cloud here can also be replaced by a local area network to enable data exchange between various devices.

[0055] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the current comfortable temperature of the target object may include: sending a fifth request message to the cloud, wherein the fifth request message carries the current status information of the target object, and the cloud selects the current comfortable temperature from the comfort temperature set based on the current status information; and receiving the current comfortable temperature sent by the cloud based on the fifth request message.

[0056] In this embodiment, the terminal device can send the acquired data to the cloud. The cloud then uses the aggregated data to self-learn and determine the comfort temperatures of the occupants in the room where the air conditioner is located under different conditions, generating a comfort temperature set. During the air conditioner's use, the user's current comfort temperature can be retrieved from the comfort temperature set based on their current state. This cloud-based self-learning improves the air conditioner's intelligence. Furthermore, since self-learning is performed in the cloud, it conserves the air conditioner's own system resources, freeing it to handle other complex logical operations.

[0057] It should be noted that the above self-learning process can also be completed on the smart terminal device.

[0058] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the current feature information of the target object may include: sending a third request message to the target terminal device or the cloud; and receiving the current feature information sent by the target terminal device or the cloud according to the third request message.

[0059] In this embodiment, the air conditioner can request the target terminal device to obtain the current characteristic information of the person, and can also request the cloud to obtain the current characteristic information of the person.

[0060] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, before obtaining the current environmental information of the area where the target object is located, the control method of the air conditioner may also include: sending a fourth request information to the environmental information monitoring device, wherein the environmental information monitoring device is used to collect the current ambient temperature; after receiving the feedback information made by the environmental information monitoring device based on the fourth request information, determining to establish a communication relationship with the environmental information monitoring device.

[0061] In this embodiment, the air conditioner may send a request message to the environment monitoring device to establish a communication relationship with the environment monitoring device, so as to obtain the environment information of the room where the air conditioner is located from the environment monitoring device.

[0062] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, determining the initial operating mode based on the current characteristic information may include: when it is determined based on the current characteristic information that the target object is in a stationary state and the surface temperature of the target object is lower than the first predetermined temperature, determining the initial operating mode as: while raising the set temperature to a second predetermined temperature, reducing the wind speed; when it is determined based on the current characteristic information that the target object is not in a stationary state or the surface temperature of the target object is not lower than the first predetermined temperature, determining the initial operating mode as: while lowering the set temperature to a third predetermined temperature, increasing the wind speed, or maintaining the current operating mode.

[0063] In this embodiment, when it is determined based on the current characteristic information that the person is in a stationary state and the person's body surface temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, it means that the user is in a sleeping state and the ambient temperature is too low, resulting in a low body surface temperature of the person. At this time, the set temperature of the air conditioner can be increased to increase the temperature of the room where the air conditioner is located. At the same time, the wind speed can be reduced to reduce the rate of temperature change, so that the temperature of the room where the air conditioner is located rises steadily to prevent the temperature from changing too quickly.

[0064] When it is determined based on the current characteristic information that the person is not in a static state or the person's body surface temperature is higher than or equal to the first preset temperature, the set temperature of the air conditioner can be lowered and the wind speed of the air conditioner can be increased to adapt to the temperature requirements of the person; in addition, the current operating mode can also be maintained.

[0065] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, the current ambient temperature and the current comfort temperature are used to correct the initial operating mode determined based on the current characteristic information to obtain the target operating mode, which may include: when it is determined that the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the current comfort temperature is less than the temperature difference threshold, determining the initial operating mode as the target operating mode; when it is determined that the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the current comfort temperature is not less than the temperature difference threshold, correcting the set temperature and wind speed in the initial operating mode to obtain the target operating mode.

[0066] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the current comfort temperature is less than the temperature difference threshold, it can be determined that the current operating mode of the air conditioner meets the user's needs, and the operating mode does not need to be adjusted; otherwise, it is determined that the current operating mode of the air conditioner does not meet the user's needs. At this time, the initial operating mode can be corrected to obtain the target operating mode.

[0067] That is, in an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to first determine whether it is necessary to adjust the initial operating mode of the air conditioner. For example, it is possible to determine whether it is necessary to execute a correction instruction based on the relationship between the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the current comfort temperature and the temperature difference threshold, rather than correcting the air conditioner operating mode as soon as a temperature difference is detected between the current ambient temperature and the current comfort temperature, thereby improving the stability of the air conditioner operation.

[0068] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an optional air conditioner control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown in the figure, after the air conditioner control system is turned on, the wristband collects human body data and transmits the data to the mobile phone via Bluetooth. The mobile phone then packages the data and sends it to the cloud. The air conditioner uses a WiFi module to receive the cloud data, analyze the data, and calculate the optimal human body temperature for the current state. When the person's heart rate is low, such as during leisure or sleep, and the body surface temperature is low, the air conditioner increases the temperature and reduces the wind speed. When the person's heart rate is high, such as during exercise, and the body surface temperature is high, the air conditioner lowers the temperature and increases the wind speed. Temperature control here uses PID control. To quickly reach the current optimal human temperature, the initial temperature (first lowered to the lower body temperature) should be lower than the optimal temperature and then stabilize. The temperature monitoring module continuously collects ambient temperature and feeds it back to the air conditioner, forming a negative feedback system. This system forms a closed loop. The data collected by the wristband generates a target value (the optimal human body temperature for the current state); the air conditioner acts as an output device, changing the ambient temperature. The data collected by the temperature detection module is compared with the target value to obtain the difference, which guides the air conditioner's temperature control.

[0069] Therefore, the air conditioner control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can automatically adjust the temperature of the air conditioner according to the state of the human body, realize remote control of the air conditioner, improve the intelligence of the air conditioner temperature control system, and at the same time improve the temperature adjustment comfort of the air conditioner.

[0070] It should be noted that for the aforementioned method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should be aware that this application is not limited by the order of the actions described, because according to this application, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required by this application.

[0071] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus the necessary general hardware platform, and of course it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for enabling a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment of the present application.

[0080] From the above, it can be seen that in an embodiment of the present invention, the initial operating mode of the air conditioner can be generated based on the current characteristic information of the person in the room where the air conditioner is located, for example, the person's body surface temperature and activity status; then the current ambient temperature of the room can be obtained; the initial operating mode is corrected using the person's current comfort temperature and the current ambient temperature to obtain the target operating mode, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically adjusting the air conditioner according to the person's activity status and body surface comfort temperature, improving the intelligence of the air conditioner, and providing users with a more comfortable experience.
