Furthermore, in the specification and claims, when an element is described as being "connected" to another element, the element may be "directly connected" to the other element, or "connected" to the other element via a third element.

[0023] As mentioned in the background section, in the prior art, the air conditioning requires manual adjustment of the airflow direction when it is first turned on, and the degree of automation is low. In order to solve the above problems, in a typical embodiment of this application, an air conditioning control method, device, computer-readable storage medium, processor and air conditioning system are provided.

[0024] According to an embodiment of this application, an air conditioning control method is provided.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an air conditioner control method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S101: Upon receiving the activation command, acquire environmental information and human information. The environmental information includes indoor temperature information and air conditioner operating mode information. The human information includes the human body temperature, activity level, and location information of the target object within the predetermined space. The predetermined space is the space where the air conditioner is located. The indoor temperature is the temperature within the predetermined space. The operating mode is either heating mode or cooling mode. The activation command is an instruction to request the activation of the air conditioner.

[0027] Specifically, the predetermined space contains multiple smart devices, each capable of detecting human body temperature. Obtaining the human body temperature of a target object within the predetermined space includes: determining a target smart device based on the location information (the target smart device being the one closest to the target object); sending a temperature request command to the target smart device (the command requesting the target smart device to detect the human body temperature); and receiving the human body temperature data sent by the target smart device. This embodiment achieves device linkage between the air conditioner and multiple smart devices. By first determining the smart device closest to the target object as the target smart device, and then collecting the target object's human body temperature through that target smart device, the accuracy of obtaining the target object's human body temperature is ensured.

[0028] In addition, the aforementioned location information can be obtained through infrared sensors installed on air conditioners or various smart devices, and the aforementioned activity level can be obtained through smart wearable devices worn by the target object. The aforementioned indoor temperature can be obtained through temperature sensors installed within the aforementioned predetermined space.

[0029] Of course, the methods for obtaining the aforementioned human body information are not limited to those described above. According to another specific embodiment of this application, obtaining human body information includes: receiving the aforementioned human body temperature, activity level, and location information sent by the wearable device of the target object. This allows for a relatively simple and quick acquisition of human body information including the aforementioned human body temperature, activity level, and location information.

[0030] Step S102: Determine the human comfort temperature corresponding to the target object based on the above human information.

[0031] In practical applications, there may be only one target object within the aforementioned predetermined space. In this case, the human comfort temperature corresponding to the target object is determined based on the aforementioned human body information. This includes determining the corresponding human comfort temperature based on the aforementioned human body temperature, the aforementioned activity level, and the relationship information, wherein the aforementioned relationship information is the correspondence between historical human body temperature, historical activity level, and historical comfort temperature.

[0032] The aforementioned relationship information can be established based on a large amount of historical data.

[0033] Of course, there may be multiple target objects within the aforementioned predetermined space. In this case, in another specific embodiment of this application, the aforementioned human body information also includes the number of the aforementioned target objects. Determining the human body comfort temperature corresponding to the aforementioned target objects based on the aforementioned human body information includes: determining the corresponding human body comfort temperature based on the aforementioned human body temperature, the aforementioned activity level, the aforementioned quantity, and a predetermined relationship, wherein the aforementioned predetermined relationship represents the correspondence between historical human body temperature, historical activity level, historical quantity, and historical human body comfort temperature.

[0034] Similarly, the aforementioned pre-defined relationships can also be established based on a large amount of historical data. It should be noted that the human comfort temperature corresponding to a single target object is higher than the human comfort temperature corresponding to multiple target objects; that is, the fewer the target objects, the higher the corresponding human comfort temperature.

[0035] Of course, the methods for determining the corresponding human comfort temperature based on human body information are not limited to the methods described above. To further ensure a more accurate determination of the human comfort temperature corresponding to different human body information, in another specific embodiment of this application, determining the human comfort temperature corresponding to the target object based on the aforementioned human body information includes: acquiring a neural network model, wherein the neural network model is trained using multiple sets of data through machine learning, and each set of data includes: input data and the historical comfort temperature corresponding to the input data, wherein the input data includes historical human body temperature, historical activity level, and historical quantity; inputting the aforementioned human body temperature, activity level, and quantity into the aforementioned neural network model to obtain the aforementioned human comfort temperature. By inputting human body temperature, activity level, and quantity into the neural network model, the neural network model analyzes and determines the corresponding human comfort temperature, further ensuring that the obtained human comfort temperature is more accurate and matches the current human body information within the predetermined space, thereby further ensuring that the air outlet direction of the air conditioner can be adjusted more accurately based on the human comfort temperature.

[0036] Step S103: Based on the above-mentioned human comfort temperature, the above-mentioned operating mode, the above-mentioned location information and the above-mentioned indoor temperature, control the air conditioner to turn on and adjust the air outlet direction of the air conditioner. The air outlet direction is either to avoid the target object or to face the target object.

[0037] In practical applications, users can choose whether to direct airflow towards or away from people based on the aforementioned human comfort temperature and indoor temperature. To further ensure user comfort, specifically, based on the aforementioned human comfort temperature, operating mode, location information, and indoor temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to turn on and the airflow direction is adjusted. This includes: when the operating mode is heating mode and the indoor temperature is higher than the human comfort temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to turn on and the airflow direction is adjusted to avoid the target object, further preventing direct airflow and discomfort; when the operating mode is heating mode and the indoor temperature is lower than or equal to the human comfort temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to turn on and the airflow direction is adjusted to avoid the target object, based on the location information. The air conditioner is turned on and the airflow direction is adjusted towards the target object to quickly heat the area where the target object is located, thereby further ensuring a better user experience. When the operating mode is cooling mode and the indoor temperature is higher than the human comfort temperature, based on the location information, the air conditioner is controlled to turn on and the airflow direction is adjusted towards the target object to quickly cool the area where the target object is located, thereby further ensuring a better user experience. When the operating mode is cooling mode and the indoor temperature is lower than or equal to the human comfort temperature, based on the location information, the air conditioner is controlled to turn on and the airflow direction is adjusted to avoid blowing directly on the target object, thereby preventing discomfort.

[0038] In the aforementioned air conditioning control method, upon receiving a command to turn on the air conditioner, the system first acquires environmental information including indoor temperature and the air conditioner's operating mode, as well as human information including the target object's body temperature, activity level, and location. Then, based on the human information, it determines the target object's comfortable body temperature. Finally, based on the comfortable body temperature, the operating mode, location information, and indoor temperature, it controls the air conditioner to turn on and adjust its airflow direction, ensuring that the air conditioner either blows air towards or away from the target object. Compared to existing technologies where manual adjustment of the airflow direction is required when the air conditioner is first turned on, resulting in low automation, this application, upon receiving the command to turn on, determines the comfortable body temperature based on the human information, and then controls the air conditioner to turn on and adjust its airflow direction based on the comfortable body temperature, operating mode, location information, and indoor temperature, ensuring that the air conditioner blows air towards or away from the target object. This achieves automatic control of the airflow angle when the air conditioner is turned on, resulting in a high degree of automation. Furthermore, this application adjusts the air outlet direction of the air conditioner according to the human comfort temperature, the air conditioner's operating mode, and the indoor temperature to achieve regional air supply or avoid regional air supply, ensuring a high level of user comfort and thus guaranteeing a good user experience.

[0039] The method described in this application can be applied to an IoT data cloud, which communicates with air conditioning and all smart devices and wearable devices within the aforementioned predetermined space.
