Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart home technology, and in particular to a control method, control device, and air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are a very common household appliance, almost a necessity in every home. They have the basic functions of regulating room temperature and circulating air, which are commonly used features. Floor-standing air conditioners have strong cooling or heating capabilities, providing users with more comfortable temperatures; however, they typically take up a large area. To fully utilize the advantages of floor-standing air conditioners and enhance the user experience, the outer casing can be used as a fitness mirror, adding interactive screen functionality. Current technology for air conditioners that can be used as fitness mirrors usually only displays images of the user during exercise, failing to integrate the air conditioner's operation with the user's movement, which can cause discomfort when using such an air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a control method, control device and air conditioner that can be used as an air conditioner for fitness mirrors, which adjusts the operation of the air conditioner according to the user's exercise, thereby improving the user's experience while realizing the basic temperature regulation function of the air conditioner.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] On one hand, this invention proposes a control method for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror, utilizing the outer casing of the air conditioner's indoor unit as a fitness mirror. The control method includes the following steps:

[0006] S1. The user activates the sports mode;

[0007] S2. Determine if there is air blowing out of the air conditioner vents; if yes, control the airflow direction to deviate from the user's location, and then proceed to step S3; if no, proceed directly to step S3.

[0008] S3. Collect user physiological information parameters and initial heart rate HR0;

[0009] The maximum heart rate (HR) matching the user is obtained based on the collected user physiological information parameters, and HR2 is 60% to 80% of the user's maximum heart rate (HR).

[0010] S4. Obtain the user's current heart rate HR1;

[0011] S5. Determine whether the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the first preset condition. If so, control the air conditioner to enter the first mode, and then execute step S6.

[0012] S6. Determine whether the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the second preset condition. If so, control the air conditioner to enter the second mode, and then execute step S7.

[0013] S7. Determine whether the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the third preset condition. If so, control the air conditioner to enter the third mode.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S2, the fitness mirror collects the user's location information through image recognition.

[0015] Furthermore, when it is determined that air is blowing out of the air conditioner's vent, it is necessary to further determine whether the user's location, as captured by the fitness mirror, is within the area covered by the airflow. If so, the airflow direction should be changed until the user's location is no longer within the airflow coverage area; otherwise, there is no need to change the airflow direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the first preset condition is HR0 < HR1 < HR2.

[0017] Furthermore, the second preset condition is HR1 = HR2.

[0018] Furthermore, the third preset condition is HR1 < HR2.

[0019] Furthermore, the first mode specifically includes the following steps:

[0020] S51. Obtain the outdoor ambient temperature and the current human body temperature, and determine whether the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the human body temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold A;

[0021] S52. If not, the compressor will not work and the air conditioner will not need to cool; if yes, the compressor will work, the air conditioner will enter cooling mode, and will adjust according to the first cooling rate V1.

[0022] S53. When the indoor temperature reaches the first set temperature T1 or the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the second preset condition, the cooling will stop.

[0023] Furthermore, the first set temperature T1 is 5-7°C lower than the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0024] On the other hand, the present invention proposes a control device for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror. The control device adopts the above-mentioned control method for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror. The control device includes: an image acquisition module for acquiring image information of the user; a heart rate acquisition module for acquiring the user's heart rate; a temperature acquisition module for acquiring outdoor ambient temperature, current body temperature, and indoor ambient temperature; a time acquisition module for acquiring time information; and a control module for regulating the control process of the air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror based on the user's heart rate, outdoor ambient temperature, current body temperature, and indoor ambient temperature information.

[0025] On the other hand, the present invention proposes an air conditioner that employs the control method described above for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror, and the air conditioner further includes a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program and a processor.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the control method, control device, and air conditioner for use as a fitness mirror described in this invention have the following advantages:

[0027] (1) The air conditioner's operation is adjusted according to the user's exercise, and the fitness mirror and air conditioner are linked to fully utilize the air conditioner's function. When the user exercises, the air conditioner enters the corresponding mode according to different exercise intensities. The entire control process conforms to the normal sequence of human movement and is more scientific and reasonable, enabling the air conditioner to meet the different needs of users under different intensities, providing a comfortable user environment while preventing users from catching a cold.

[0028] (2) Use the fitness mirror to collect the user's location information and adjust the air conditioner's air outlet direction to prevent the air conditioner from blowing directly on the user. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The accompanying drawings, which form part of this invention, are used to provide a further understanding of the invention. The illustrative embodiments of the invention and their descriptions are used to explain the invention and do not constitute an undue limitation of the invention. In the drawings:

[0030] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a control method for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror, as described in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0031] The inventive concepts of this disclosure will be described below using terminology commonly used by those skilled in the art to communicate the essence of their work to others skilled in the art. However, these inventive concepts may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0033] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] This invention discloses a control method for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror. By adding a mirror to the casing of the air conditioner's indoor unit or by using a reflective material for the casing, the indoor unit functions as a fitness mirror, thus enabling control. When a user exercises, the fitness mirror collects the user's information through image recognition and displays it on the mirror, allowing the user to see their own exercise status through the air conditioner's casing. Simultaneously, the air conditioner can be used to regulate the indoor temperature while the user exercises, combining the air conditioner and the fitness mirror. To allow the user to more clearly observe their exercise, the air conditioner is a floor-standing unit. Specifically, the front casing of the floor-standing air conditioner can be used as the fitness mirror.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a control method for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror according to the present invention includes the following steps:

[0036] S1. The user activates the sports mode;

[0037] Specifically, when a user is ready to enter sports mode, they can press a fixed button on the air conditioner or its remote control, or use a specific setting on the mobile app. When this is done, it indicates that the user has activated sports mode, allowing for subsequent operations. This avoids using other complex methods to determine if sports mode is activated, thus improving the efficiency of the control system.

[0038] S2. Determine if there is air blowing out of the air conditioner vents; if yes, control the airflow direction to deviate from the user's location, and then proceed to step S3; if no, proceed directly to step S3.

[0039] When a user activates the exercise mode, they tend to sweat during exercise. If the air conditioner vent blows air directly at the user, it can cause them to catch a cold or become chilled. To prevent this, the system rotates the air vent's deflectors when it detects airflow, controlling the airflow direction away from the user's location and improving comfort during exercise.

[0040] Specifically, due to the large size of air conditioners, users generally do not move or change their position. Consequently, the location of the air vents remains unchanged, and the area covered by the airflow also remains constant. The fitness mirror collects the user's position information through image recognition. When it is determined that air is blowing from the air conditioner vents, it is necessary to further determine whether the user's position, as captured by the fitness mirror, is within the airflow coverage area. If so, the airflow direction is changed until the user's position is no longer within the airflow coverage area; if not, it means that the air conditioner vents are not blowing directly on the user, and there is no need to change the airflow direction. When it is determined that no air is blowing from the air conditioner vents, it will not cause any disturbance to the user.

[0041] S3. Collect user physiological information parameters and initial heart rate HR0;

[0042] Specifically, the system collects the user's physiological information parameters and obtains the maximum heart rate (HR) that matches the user based on these parameters. The user's physiological information parameters include at least their weight, age, and gender. Different individuals have different maximum heart rates (HR). By obtaining and identifying the maximum heart rate (HR) that matches the user, a better control method for the air conditioning system of a fitness mirror can be implemented.

[0043] Users can directly input their physiological information parameters into the air conditioner, or obtain these parameters by collecting user images through a fitness mirror. Initial heart rate HR0 refers to the user's heart rate before starting exercise, which is the heart rate during normal daily activities.

[0044] In some embodiments, the acquired user physiological information parameters and the matching maximum heart rate (HR) data can be uploaded to the cloud for long-term recording and storage of user information.

[0045] S4. Obtain the user's current heart rate HR1;

[0046] Specifically, once a user begins exercising, their current heart rate (HR1) changes as the intensity and duration of exercise increase. It's necessary to obtain the user's current HR1 and, based on the relationship between HR1, maximum heart rate (HR), and initial heart rate (HR0), control the air conditioning to enter the corresponding mode, improving user comfort during exercise. Users can obtain their initial heart rate (HR0) and current heart rate (HR1) through wearable devices such as smart bracelets, smartwatches, smart glasses, and smart headphones.

[0047] S5. Determine whether the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the first preset condition. If so, control the air conditioner to enter the first mode, and then execute step S6.

[0048] The first preset condition is HR0 < HR1 < HR2, where HR2 is 60% to 80% of the user's maximum heart rate HR. When the first preset condition is met, it indicates that the user has started exercising, the heart rate has begun to rise, but has not yet reached the maximum intensity of exercise, and has entered the initial stage of exercise. At this time, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the first mode.

[0049] S6. Determine whether the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the second preset condition. If so, control the air conditioner to enter the second mode, and then execute step S7.

[0050] Specifically, when the first preset condition is not met, it indicates that the user's exercise intensity is still increasing, and the system checks whether the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the second preset condition. The second preset condition is HR1 = HR2. As the current heart rate HR1 increases, the exercise intensity also increases accordingly. By introducing the second preset condition, it is indicated that the user has moved from the initial stage of exercise to the middle stage. At this point, the air conditioning is controlled to enter the second mode.

[0051] S7. Determine whether the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the third preset condition. If so, control the air conditioner to enter the third mode.

[0052] Specifically, as the user exercises, if the second preset condition is not met, it indicates that the user's exercise intensity begins to decrease. The system then determines whether the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the third preset condition, where HR1 < HR2. If the third preset condition is met, the user transitions from the middle stage of exercise to the end stage. The exercise intensity in the end stage is weaker than in the middle stage, and the current heart rate HR1 also decreases. At this point, the air conditioning is switched to the third mode.

[0053] When the user finishes exercising, the air conditioner can be turned off or kept running in the third mode for a period of time.

[0054] This invention discloses a control method for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror. The method determines the user's exercise intensity based on changes in their current heart rate (HR1). First, it determines whether the user is in the initial stage of exercise; then, it determines whether the user is in the middle stage; and finally, it determines whether the user is in the final stage. Based on different exercise intensities, it enters the corresponding mode. The entire control process conforms to the normal sequence of human movement and is more scientific and reasonable, enabling the air conditioner to meet the different needs of users at different intensities, providing a comfortable user environment while preventing the user from catching a cold.

[0055] Because users typically warm up during exercise (the initial stage) before moving to the more intense middle stage, where heart rate and intensity are highest, and stretching is usually done towards the end (the final stage) to cool down and lower heart rate, this control method follows the user's general exercise pattern, comparing the results in stages—initial, middle, and final—to create a hierarchical approach. If the first preset condition is met, the method checks if the second preset condition is also met. If the second preset condition is met, the method checks if the third preset condition is also met, making the control method simpler and more efficient.

[0056] Furthermore, the first mode specifically includes the following steps:

[0057] S51. Obtain the outdoor ambient temperature and the current human body temperature, and determine whether the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the human body temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold A;

[0058] S52. If not, the compressor will not work and the air conditioner will not need to cool; if yes, the compressor will work, the air conditioner will enter cooling mode, and will adjust according to the first cooling rate V1.

[0059] S53. When the indoor temperature reaches the first set temperature T1 or the user's current heart rate HR1 meets the second preset condition, the cooling will stop.

[0060] Specifically, the preset threshold A can be determined by the air conditioner manufacturer based on experience. More specifically, the preset threshold A is 3-6℃. When the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the current body temperature is greater than or equal to the preset threshold A, it indicates that the outdoor ambient temperature is high, and the air conditioner can be turned on to provide a cooler environment for the user's exercise. When the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the current body temperature is less than the preset threshold A, it indicates that the outdoor temperature is not too high and is relatively comfortable for the user, and cooling is not required.

[0061] Since the first mode is activated at the beginning of the user's workout, and considering that the user may have just entered the room from outdoors and started exercising, the air conditioning operation is adjusted appropriately by incorporating the outdoor ambient temperature. This is to prevent discomfort caused by rapid temperature changes when the user moves from outdoors to indoors, considering human health. Because the user's body state changes during exercise, the air conditioning operation is adjusted more rationally by incorporating the current body temperature. The air conditioning operation is adjusted based on the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the current body temperature, ensuring user comfort while preventing discomfort caused by temperature fluctuations.

[0062] Specifically, the first cooling rate V1 and the first set temperature T1 can be determined by the air conditioner manufacturer based on empirical values. More specifically, the first set temperature T1 is 5-7°C lower than the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0063] Furthermore, the second mode specifically includes the following steps:

[0064] S61. Obtain the indoor ambient temperature and determine the range of indoor ambient temperature;

[0065] S62. Obtain the second cooling rate V2 of the air conditioner based on the indoor ambient temperature range;

[0066] S63. Determine whether the second cooling rate V2 is greater than or equal to the first cooling rate V1. If yes, perform a negative correction on the air conditioner's operating frequency; otherwise, perform a positive correction on the air conditioner's operating frequency.

[0067] S64. Determine whether the current indoor ambient temperature has reached the second set temperature T2. If yes, the air conditioner operates at the corrected operating frequency. If no, return to step S61.

[0068] Specifically, the indoor ambient temperature is divided into five temperature ranges. The first temperature range is when the indoor ambient temperature is ≤26℃, and the corresponding second cooling rate is V21. The second temperature range is when 26℃ < indoor ambient temperature ≤28℃, and the corresponding second cooling rate is V22. The third temperature range is when 28℃ < indoor ambient temperature ≤31℃, and the corresponding third cooling rate is V23. The fourth temperature range is when 31℃ < indoor ambient temperature ≤34℃, and the corresponding fourth cooling rate is V24. The fifth temperature range is when the indoor ambient temperature >34℃, and the corresponding fifth cooling rate is V25. Among them, V21 < V22 < V23 < V24 < V25.

[0069] Users are more prone to discomfort if they get chilled during exercise, and a rapid drop in indoor temperature can easily trigger a cold. By dividing the indoor temperature into different temperature ranges and taking into account the cooling rate, the system avoids causing "air conditioning sickness." As users transition from the initial to the middle stages of exercise, their heart rate increases faster, they sweat more, and they become more sensitive to temperature. A higher cooling rate in the middle stages than in the initial stages can cause discomfort. Therefore, a relationship between the second cooling rate V2 and the first cooling rate V1 is introduced. When the second cooling rate V2 ≥ the first cooling rate V1, it indicates that the cooling rate in the middle stages of exercise is greater than that in the initial stages. A negative correction is applied to the air conditioning operating frequency, reducing its frequency to avoid excessive cooling during the middle stages when sweating is more profuse. When the second cooling rate V2 < the first cooling rate V1, it indicates that the cooling rate in the middle stages of exercise is less than that in the initial stages. To prevent users from feeling overheated during exercise, a positive correction is applied to the air conditioning operating frequency, increasing its frequency to meet user cooling needs.

[0070] In step S64, when it is determined that the current indoor ambient temperature reaches the second set temperature T2, it indicates that the current indoor ambient temperature can meet the user's cooling needs during the middle stage of exercise, and the air conditioner can operate at the corrected operating frequency. When it is determined that the current indoor ambient temperature is higher than the second set temperature T2, it indicates that the current indoor ambient temperature cannot meet the user's cooling needs during the middle stage of exercise, and it is necessary to return to step S61 to continuously correct the operating frequency during the middle stage of exercise while the indoor ambient temperature decreases. Specifically, the second set temperature T2 can be determined by the air conditioner manufacturer based on experience, and the second set temperature T2 is a more suitable indoor ambient temperature for the user when entering the middle stage of exercise. More specifically, the second set temperature T2 is 22-27℃.

[0071] Furthermore, the third mode specifically includes the following steps: the air conditioner maintains the operating frequency from the second mode to the third mode. When the user enters the final stage of exercise, it indicates that they have been exercising for a considerable period of time, and the user can become accustomed to the current air conditioner operation. The third mode can adopt the operating frequency from the second mode to the third mode, so that the air conditioner provides cooling for the user and avoids overheating.

[0072] The present invention employs a control method for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror. The air conditioner is controlled to enter different modes according to the user's current heart rate HR1. The method takes into account the outdoor ambient temperature, the indoor ambient temperature, and the cooling rate under different operating intensities. While ensuring that the air conditioner provides a suitable cooling effect for the user's exercise, it also fully considers the user's health needs.

[0073] As an embodiment of the present invention, when the air conditioner enters any of the first, second, or third modes, the fitness mirror collects the user's image information. Besides simultaneously displaying the collected user image information on the fitness mirror for the user to view and determine if their movements are standard, it also needs to determine if the user's image information shows any abnormal behavior. If so, the compressor stops working, pausing cooling; otherwise, the air conditioner operates according to the corresponding mode.

[0074] Specifically, the abnormal behavior refers to the user's body bending or shivering. Users tend to sweat during exercise, and when the air conditioner lowers the indoor temperature, causing the user to feel cold, they may unconsciously bend or shiver – this is a natural physiological phenomenon. When these abnormal behaviors are detected in the user's image information captured by the fitness mirror, it indicates that the user feels cold. To prevent the user from becoming ill, the compressor stops working and cooling ceases. After a first preset time t1, the abnormal behavior disappears, the air conditioner can resume operation in the corresponding mode. The first preset time t1 can be determined by the air conditioner manufacturer based on experience. When these abnormal behaviors are no longer detected in the user's image information, it indicates that the current air conditioner operating mode will not cause discomfort to the user, and the air conditioner can continue operating in the current corresponding mode.

[0075] This invention also proposes a control device for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror. Employing the aforementioned control method for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror, it controls the process of using the air conditioner fitness mirror function during user exercise. The control device includes: an image acquisition module for acquiring the user's image information; a heart rate acquisition module for acquiring the user's heart rate; a temperature acquisition module for acquiring the outdoor ambient temperature, current body temperature, and indoor ambient temperature; a time acquisition module for acquiring time information, such as a first preset time t1; and a control module for adjusting the control process of the air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror based on information such as the user's heart rate, outdoor ambient temperature, current body temperature, and indoor ambient temperature.

[0076] This invention also proposes an air conditioner employing the aforementioned control method for an air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror. The air conditioner further includes a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program and a processor. The computer program is read and executed by the processor to implement the control method for the air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror. The air conditioner also includes other conventional components, the specific structure of which can be derived from existing technologies. Furthermore, this application also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program. The computer program is read and executed by a processor to implement the control method for the air conditioner that can be used as a fitness mirror.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
