Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of temperature control, and more particularly to a method, device, air conditioner, automobile, and storage medium for controlling the temperature inside a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automotive technology, users have higher requirements for the performance of car interiors, and interior temperature is an important standard for measuring users' comfort inside the car.

[0003] Especially in extremely hot summer and extremely cold winter conditions, if users leave their cars briefly and do not turn off the car's air conditioning or other temperature-regulating devices, they will still feel a comfortable temperature when they return, but this still wastes resources to some extent and is not conducive to the concept of low-carbon and environmentally friendly travel. If users turn off the car's air conditioning and other temperature-regulating devices, although this reduces the waste of resources, the user experience in these special environments will be very poor. When users return to the car, both high and low temperatures will be detrimental to their driving and riding experience.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology still needs further development. Summary of the Invention

[0009] If the user's time away from the vehicle is less than or equal to the maximum allowed time away from the vehicle, the current vehicle interior temperature is adjusted to within the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range.

[0010] Optionally, the adjustment action can also be stopped if the user's time away from the vehicle exceeds the maximum allowed time. The adjustment action is at least used to detect the current vehicle interior temperature, obtain the user's time away from the vehicle, and adjust the current vehicle interior temperature.

[0011] Optionally, the step of detecting the current vehicle interior temperature involves comparing the current vehicle interior temperature with a calibrated temperature T. set The comparison obtains the current temperature difference value, including:

[0018] If the second preset time < t ≤ the third preset time, and the current temperature difference T > the third preset temperature difference, then the in-vehicle temperature adjustment range T set -Third preset temperature difference <T range <T set +Third preset temperature difference value.

[0019] Optionally, if the user's time away from the vehicle is less than or equal to the maximum permitted time away from the vehicle, adjusting the current vehicle interior temperature to within the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range further includes:

[0020] Monitor the user's physiological attributes, which include at least one or more of heart rate, body temperature, electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), and electromyography (EMG).

[0021] When the user returns to the vehicle, the current in-vehicle temperature change parameters are adjusted based on the physiological attributes. These change parameters include at least the air outlet temperature, air volume, and air direction.

[0022] Optionally, adjusting the change parameters of the current vehicle interior temperature based on the physiological attributes includes:

[0023] If the user's heart rate is at the first average heart rate threshold, reduce the air outlet temperature and increase the air outlet volume.

[0024] If the monitored user's heart rate is within the second average heart rate threshold, keep the air outlet temperature and air outlet volume unchanged.

[0025] If the user's heart rate is at the third average heart rate threshold, increase the air outlet temperature and increase the air outlet volume;

[0026] The first average heart rate threshold, the second average heart rate threshold, and the third average heart rate threshold can be determined based on the user's gender, physiological age, and exercise status.

[0027] Optionally, if the user returns to the car in summer and the monitored user's heart rate is higher than the fourth average heart rate threshold, the air outlet temperature is reduced and the air outlet volume is increased.

[0028] If the user returns to the car during the summer season but the user's heart rate is lower than or equal to the fourth average heart rate threshold, maintain the original air outlet temperature and air volume.

[0029] If the user returns to the car in winter and the user's heart rate is below the fifth average heart rate threshold, increase the air outlet temperature and increase the air outlet volume.

[0030] If the user returns to the car during winter but the monitored user's heart rate is higher than or equal to the fifth average heart rate threshold, maintain the original air outlet temperature and air volume.

[0031] A second aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle interior temperature control device, comprising:

[0032] The input module is used at least to input the calibration temperature T. set And the longest time that can be left out of the vehicle, to establish a reference standard for controlling the temperature inside the vehicle;

[0035] The execution module is at least used to adjust the vehicle interior temperature to within the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range if the user's time away from the vehicle is less than or equal to the maximum allowed time away from the vehicle.

[0036] Optionally, the execution module further includes:

[0037] If the user's time away from the vehicle exceeds the maximum allowed time, the adjustment action will stop. The adjustment action is at least used to detect the current interior temperature, obtain the user's time away from the vehicle, and adjust the current interior temperature.

[0038] A third aspect of the present invention provides a method for controlling space temperature, comprising:

[0042] If the user's departure time is less than or equal to the maximum allowed departure time, adjust the current space temperature to within the space temperature adjustment range.

[0043] Optionally, the adjustment action can also be stopped if the user's time away from the vehicle exceeds the maximum allowed time. The adjustment action is at least used to detect the current temperature of the space, obtain the user's departure time, and adjust the current temperature of the space.

[0044] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner, including a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, implements the steps of the vehicle interior temperature control method as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0045] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides an automobile, including a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, implements the steps of the in-vehicle temperature control method as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0046] A sixth aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, the computer program being executed by a processor to implement the steps of the vehicle interior temperature control method as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0047] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: different gradient in-vehicle temperature control methods are set for different off-vehicle scenarios, which takes into account both the user's in-vehicle experience and reduces resource waste.

[0048] By inputting the calibration temperature T set Based on the longest permissible time away from the vehicle, a reference standard for controlling the vehicle interior temperature is constructed, wherein the calibration temperature T... set The longest time spent away from the vehicle is used to measure the comfort level of human body temperature inside the vehicle, and the longest time spent away from the vehicle is used to characterize the critical state of resource control temperature.

[0049] By detecting the current interior temperature, the current interior temperature and the calibrated temperature T are compared. set By comparison, and taking into account the user's time away from the vehicle, specific standards for step-by-step adjustment of the vehicle's interior temperature are set. The longer the user's time away from the vehicle and the greater the current temperature difference, the wider the range of the vehicle's interior temperature adjustment. By dynamically adjusting the range, the control of the vehicle's interior temperature becomes more intelligent.

[0050] When a user leaves the vehicle for an extended period, the interior temperature control can automatically stop, effectively solving the resource utilization problem when the user changes their mind and does not return to the vehicle. When the user leaves the vehicle for a longer period than the maximum allowed time, the interior temperature can be stopped, reducing the use of interior temperature control equipment such as air conditioning and the power used by the air conditioning, thus saving power and hardware resources.

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] like Figure 1As shown, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for controlling the temperature inside a vehicle, comprising:

[0058] Step S110: Input calibration temperature T set And the longest time that can be spent away from the vehicle, to establish a reference standard for controlling the temperature inside the vehicle.

[0059] Calibration temperature T set This is used to measure the comfort level of human body temperature inside the vehicle. The user can input a calibrated temperature or the system can recommend a setting. In addition to inputting the calibrated temperature, users can also input in-vehicle linkage information, such as activating fragrance or lighting services when the user returns to the vehicle.

[0060] Step S120: Detect the current interior temperature of the vehicle and compare the current interior temperature with the calibrated temperature to obtain the temperature difference.

[0061] The current interior temperature of the vehicle is a variable that can be determined by detection. The detection cycle can be once per second, once per minute, or, for example, once every 5 minutes, to improve the accuracy and reliability of the current interior temperature.

[0062] The difference between the current interior temperature and the set temperature is calculated by subtracting the set temperature from the current interior temperature. Depending on the season, the difference is positive in summer (when temperatures are higher) and negative in winter (when temperatures are lower).

[0063] Step S130: In response to the user returning to the vehicle, obtain the user's departure time, and calculate the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range based on the user's departure time and the current temperature difference, wherein the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range uses the calibrated temperature as the desired temperature.

[0064] Specifically, the calibrated temperature is only the desired temperature, while the actual in-vehicle temperature adjustment value can fluctuate within a range that includes the desired temperature, and is not limited to the calibrated temperature or a certain fixed value, depending on the actual situation.

[0065] By detecting the current interior temperature and comparing it with the calibrated temperature, and taking into account the user's time away from the vehicle, a specific standard for step-by-step adjustment of the interior temperature is set. The longer the user is away from the vehicle and the greater the current temperature difference, the wider the range of interior temperature adjustment. By setting the dynamic adjustment range, the control of the interior temperature becomes more intelligent.

[0066] Step S140: If the user's time away from the vehicle is less than or equal to the maximum allowed time away from the vehicle, adjust the current vehicle interior temperature to within the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range.

[0067] The maximum allowed time to leave the vehicle is based on the user's short-term absence from the vehicle. For example, a time of 30 minutes can be input, meaning that if the user does not return to the vehicle within 30 minutes, it will be determined that the maximum allowed time has been exceeded, and the vehicle's interior temperature will stop adjusting. The maximum allowed time to leave the vehicle is used to characterize the critical state of the resource control temperature. The maximum allowed time to leave the vehicle can also be adjusted according to the user's actual situation.

[0068] Whether the set temperature or the maximum allowed time to leave the vehicle is entered, users can still make online reservations and change these parameters via mobile devices or other means. For example, they can increase the set time to allow for rapid warming when the outside temperature suddenly drops, so that the vehicle can warm up quickly when the user enters. Alternatively, if the user's departure time is less than the maximum allowed time, such as only 5 minutes, but they are certain they will not return to the vehicle for an extended period, the maximum allowed time can be reduced, or the vehicle's air conditioning can be turned off to stop regulating the interior temperature, thus avoiding waste of resources.

[0069] Specifically, if the user's time away from the vehicle is less than or equal to the maximum permitted time away, it means the user will return to the vehicle after a short absence. Therefore, the vehicle interior temperature needs to be controlled to provide maximum comfort for the user upon re-entry. Adjusting the current interior temperature to within the specified temperature adjustment range improves the efficiency of quickly returning the vehicle to the set temperature after the user's return. This improves cooling efficiency in high summer temperatures and heating efficiency in low winter temperatures.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, if the user's time away from the vehicle exceeds the maximum allowed time away from the vehicle, the adjustment action is stopped. The adjustment action is at least used to detect the current vehicle interior temperature, obtain the user's time away from the vehicle, and adjust the current vehicle interior temperature.

[0071] When a user is away from the vehicle for longer than the maximum allowed time, it means that the user has not yet returned to the vehicle. If the vehicle temperature control is continued at this time, it will waste resources. For example, the air conditioning, a common setting for vehicle temperature control, will consume electricity if it is in operation for a long time, which is not conducive to the concept of low-carbon and environmentally friendly travel.

[0072] If the user still returns to the car after leaving, the maximum time that the user can leave the car can be set according to the actual situation. If there are heat-sensitive items in the user's car, such as plants or animals, the user can also choose to increase the time that the user can leave the car or adopt various modes of in-car temperature control strategies, such as controlling the in-car temperature to be turned on at set times.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, detecting the current vehicle interior temperature and comparing the current vehicle interior temperature with a calibrated temperature to obtain the current temperature difference includes:

[0074] A time interval is set, wherein the time interval is less than the maximum permitted time to leave the vehicle;

[0075] The current vehicle interior temperature is detected based on the time interval, which includes equally spaced time intervals.

[0076] Update the current temperature difference value based on the current interior temperature.

[0077] If the time interval exceeds the maximum allowed time to leave the vehicle, the interior temperature will not have been detected when the user returns, resulting in the current temperature difference not being updated and the interior temperature not being controlled, rendering the function meaningless. Therefore, the time interval needs to be controlled to be less than the maximum allowed time to leave the vehicle, for example, setting the time interval to 5 minutes and the maximum allowed time to leave the vehicle to 30 minutes.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the calculation of the in-vehicle temperature adjustment range based on the user's departure time and the current temperature difference includes:

[0079] If the user's time away from the vehicle t is less than the first preset time, and the current temperature difference T is greater than the first preset temperature difference, then the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range T is... set +First preset temperature difference ≤T range <T set - First preset temperature difference value, for example, if the user's time away from the vehicle t∈[0,10], unit: min, and the current temperature difference value T>2℃, then the in-vehicle temperature adjustment range T range ∈[T set +2, T set -2], unit: °C; and / or

[0080] If the first preset time < t ≤ the second preset time, and the current temperature difference T > the second preset temperature difference, then the in-vehicle temperature adjustment range ∈ T. set -Second preset temperature <T range <T set + A second preset temperature difference value, for example, if the user's time away from the vehicle t∈[10,20], unit: min, and the current temperature difference T>4℃, then the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range T range ∈[T set +4, T set -4], unit: °C; and / or

[0081] If the second preset time < t ≤ the third preset time, and the current temperature difference T > the third preset temperature difference, then the in-vehicle temperature adjustment range T set -Third preset temperature difference <T range <T set+ A third preset temperature difference value, for example, if the user's time away from the vehicle t∈[20,30], unit: min, and the current temperature difference T>6℃, then the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range T range ∈[T set +6, T set -6], unit: ℃.

[0082] It should be understood that the first preset time, the second preset time, the third preset time, the first preset temperature difference, the second preset temperature difference, and the third preset temperature difference can be set according to actual travel needs. The example is only to illustrate the setting logic.

[0083] This embodiment specifically describes the impact of the user's time away from the vehicle and the current temperature difference on the vehicle's interior temperature control logic. Specifically, the longer the user's time away from the vehicle and the greater the current temperature difference, the larger the range of the vehicle's interior temperature adjustment. By dynamically adjusting the range, the control of the vehicle's interior temperature becomes more intelligent.

[0084] In this embodiment, taking the parameters from the example as an example, if the user's time away from the vehicle t∈[0,10], unit: min, but the current temperature difference T! > 2℃, then the vehicle interior temperature will not be adjusted;

[0085] If the user's time away from the vehicle t∈[10,20], in minutes, but the current temperature difference T!>>4℃, then the vehicle interior temperature will not be adjusted.

[0086] If the user's time away from the vehicle t∈[20,30], in minutes, but the current temperature difference T!>>6℃, then the vehicle interior temperature will not be adjusted.

[0087] The above embodiments are merely one type of implementation based on the user's departure time and the current temperature difference. In practice, it is also possible to set the temperature to remain constant over a given time period.

[0088] Interior temperature control range, for example:

[0089] If the user's time away from the vehicle is within the maximum permissible time range, and the current temperature difference T > 2℃, then the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range T range ∈[T set +2, T set -2], unit: ℃, adjust the current vehicle interior temperature to within the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range. If the current temperature difference T < 2℃, keep the current vehicle interior temperature unchanged.

[0090] Here, setting up multi-level in-vehicle temperature control ensures a comfortable interior temperature for users after a brief absence and return, while avoiding resource waste from consistently using the same temperature setting. This aligns with the concept of sustainable development.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 If the user's time away from the vehicle is less than or equal to the maximum permitted time away, adjusting the current vehicle interior temperature to within the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range also includes:

[0092] Step S210: Monitor the user's physiological attributes, which include at least one or more of heart rate, body temperature, electroencephalogram (EEG), blood oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram (ECG), and electromyography (EMG).

[0093] Even though the vehicle interior temperature has been adjusted to the specified range before the user returns to the vehicle, this range is only a general guideline. Since users have physiological needs regarding vehicle interior temperature, these needs can be monitored. This monitoring can be performed using wearable devices such as smartwatches and smartphones, and the data can be transmitted to the vehicle interior temperature control system via communication methods.

[0094] Alternatively, monitoring can be performed when the user returns to the vehicle, but due to limitations such as memory, the monitored data may be delayed.

[0095] Step S220: When the user returns to the vehicle, adjust the current vehicle interior temperature change parameters based on the physiological attributes. The change parameters include at least the air outlet temperature, air outlet volume, and airflow direction.

[0096] After the user returns to the car, the system adjusts the temperature parameters inside the car, such as the air outlet temperature and air volume, based on the monitored physiological attributes.

[0097] Furthermore, with the development of automotive technology, it is also possible to link with the vehicle's multi-functional systems for auxiliary adjustment, such as combining fragrance devices, heating devices, oxygen supply devices, massage devices, and cooling devices.

[0098] In one embodiment of the present invention, adjusting the change parameters of the current vehicle interior temperature based on the physiological attributes includes:

[0099] If the user's heart rate is at the first average heart rate threshold, reduce the air outlet temperature and increase the air outlet volume.

[0100] If the monitored user's heart rate is within the second average heart rate threshold, keep the air outlet temperature and air outlet volume unchanged.

[0101] If the user's heart rate is at the third average heart rate threshold, increase the air outlet temperature and increase the air outlet volume;

[0102] The first average heart rate threshold, the second average heart rate threshold, and the third average heart rate threshold can be determined based on the user's gender, physiological age, and exercise status.

[0103] Among them, the first average heart rate threshold, the second average heart rate threshold, and the third average heart rate threshold can be the same or different, such as all being equal to the average heart rate threshold.

[0104] Specifically, heart rate refers to the number of heartbeats per minute in a normal person at rest, also called resting heart rate, which is generally 60-100 beats per minute. Individual differences can occur due to age, gender, or other physiological factors. Generally speaking, the younger the age, the faster the heart rate; older people have slower heart rates than younger people; and women have faster heart rates than men of the same age—these are all normal physiological phenomena. At rest, the average normal heart rate for adults is 60-100 beats per minute, and the ideal average heart rate should be 55-70 beats per minute (athletes' average heart rate is slower than that of ordinary adults, generally around 50 beats per minute).

[0105] Here, by adjusting the parameters related to the temperature changes inside the vehicle, user comfort upon entering the car can be improved. Heart rate is an indicator of human cardiac health; the heart is the driving force behind blood pumping and ensures the normal functioning of all organ systems and the entire body. During the parameter setting process for the temperature changes inside the vehicle, regardless of whether the monitored user's heart rate is above or below the average heart rate, the airflow direction will be adjusted to prevent direct airflow onto the user.

[0106] Furthermore, there are many reasons for setting the average heart rate, including gender, physiological age, and exercise status. Therefore, the average heart rate can also be set as a threshold, i.e., an average heart rate threshold, to improve the tolerance of adjusting the in-vehicle temperature environment based on heart rate monitoring results. For users with certain medical conditions, a specific average heart rate threshold can be set to prevent changes in the in-vehicle temperature from exceeding the user's physiological tolerance.

[0107] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 If the user returns to the car in summer and the monitored user's heart rate is higher than the fourth average heart rate threshold, the air outlet temperature will be reduced and the air outlet volume will be increased.

[0108] If the user returns to the car during the summer season but the user's heart rate is lower than or equal to the fourth average heart rate threshold, maintain the original air outlet temperature and air volume.

[0109] If the user returns to the car in winter and the user's heart rate is below the fifth average heart rate threshold, increase the air outlet temperature and increase the air outlet volume.

[0110] If the user returns to the car during winter but the monitored user's heart rate is higher than or equal to the fifth average heart rate threshold, maintain the original air outlet temperature and air volume.

[0111] Similarly, the fourth and fifth average heart rate thresholds are parameters based on actual conditions and may be the same or different. Season, driving altitude, and user characteristics can be important reference factors. Generally, the heart rate increases when the body feels hot and decreases when the body feels cold. Regarding seasonal judgment, in summer, the temperature is higher, and the heart rate is relatively higher. Therefore, if the monitored user's heart rate is higher than the average heart rate threshold, the air outlet temperature should be lowered and the air volume increased to quickly cool the vehicle interior. Similarly, in winter, the temperature is lower, and the heart rate is relatively lower. Therefore, if the monitored user's heart rate is lower than the average heart rate threshold, the air outlet temperature should be increased and the air volume increased to quickly warm the vehicle interior.

[0112] In summer, the temperature is high, but the heart rate is relatively low. Therefore, if the monitored user's heart rate is lower than or equal to the average heart rate threshold, it means that the user does not need to lower the air outlet temperature or increase the air volume to maintain the user's temperature comfort. Similarly, in winter, the temperature is low, but the heart rate is relatively high. Therefore, if the monitored user's heart rate is higher than or equal to the average heart rate threshold, it means that the user does not need to raise the air outlet temperature or increase the air volume to maintain the user's temperature comfort.

[0113] Preferably, in the method of controlling the temperature inside the vehicle, a windless mode can be set based on the hardware device for controlling the temperature inside the vehicle, such as the air conditioner, so that when controlling the temperature inside the vehicle, the air volume can be taken into account, and the discomfort caused by direct airflow can be avoided. This is especially beneficial for children and the elderly, as it can provide a more stable temperature control experience.

[0114] This method allows for fine-tuning of the vehicle's interior temperature according to different seasons, while also taking into account the user's actual condition to avoid unnecessary adjustments. It balances user temperature comfort with the avoidance of unnecessary resource waste.

[0115] A second aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle interior temperature control device; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 ,include:

[0119] The execution module 34 is at least used to adjust the vehicle interior temperature to within the vehicle interior temperature adjustment range if the user's time away from the vehicle is less than or equal to the maximum time that the user can leave the vehicle.

[0124] If the user's departure time is less than or equal to the maximum allowed departure time, adjust the current space temperature to within the space temperature adjustment range.

[0125] Optionally, the adjustment action can also be stopped if the user's time away from the vehicle exceeds the maximum allowed time. The adjustment action is at least used to detect the current temperature of the space, obtain the user's departure time, and adjust the current temperature of the space.

[0126] Here, the present invention can realize a method for controlling the temperature of a space. In addition to being used in the interior of a vehicle, it can be implemented in other scenarios or places where temperature can be controlled, such as homes, offices, containers, farms, and other areas that require temperature control. The implementation method can be referred to the first aspect of the present invention, which will not be elaborated here.

[0128] Here, the air conditioner includes central air conditioning, ceiling air conditioning, window-mounted air conditioning, wall-mounted air conditioning and / or floor-standing air conditioning, etc. In addition, similar devices or apparatuses that can control the temperature inside the vehicle or space can also use this method to obtain the steps of the control method for controlling the temperature inside the vehicle in order to meet the user's temperature comfort and save resources.

[0131] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: different gradient in-vehicle temperature control methods are set for different off-vehicle scenarios, which takes into account both the user's in-vehicle experience and reduces resource waste.

[0132] By inputting the calibration temperature and the maximum time that can be spent away from the vehicle, a reference standard for controlling the temperature inside the vehicle is constructed. The calibration temperature is used to measure the human body temperature comfort inside the vehicle, and the maximum time that can be spent away from the vehicle is used to characterize the critical state of resource control temperature.

[0133] By detecting the current interior temperature and comparing it with the calibrated temperature, and taking into account the user's time away from the vehicle, a specific standard for step-by-step adjustment of the interior temperature is set. The longer the user is away from the vehicle and the greater the current temperature difference, the wider the range of interior temperature adjustment. By setting the dynamic adjustment range, the control of the interior temperature becomes more intelligent.

[0134] When a user leaves the vehicle for an extended period, the interior temperature control can automatically stop, effectively solving the resource utilization problem when the user changes their mind and does not return to the vehicle. When the user leaves the vehicle for a longer period than the maximum allowed time, the interior temperature can be stopped, reducing the use of interior temperature control equipment such as air conditioning and the power used by the air conditioning, thus saving power and hardware resources.
