[0021] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0022] With the continuous improvement of living standards and production levels, the popularity of air conditioners is also increasing. Currently, most air conditioners have a humidity control function, which can regulate indoor humidity. For example, in the cold and dry autumn and winter seasons, in order to increase the ambient temperature, it is necessary to humidify the indoor environment to improve indoor comfort.

[0023] In related technologies, users need to manually activate the humidity control function, but according to existing statistics, over 95% of users do not use this function. In areas with high humidity, the high humidity environment can damage indoor items, walls, and floors. Users have a need for humidity control, but the usage rate of the humidity control function is very low, and user needs are not being met.

[0024] To address the problems existing in the above methods, this exemplary embodiment proposes a humidity control method and an air conditioner, humidity control device, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium supporting the humidity control method. The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below: This example implementation first provides a humidity control method. (See reference...) Figure 1 As shown, the humidity control method specifically includes the following steps: Step S110: Obtain the user's historical humidity settings for the air conditioner under different ambient temperature ranges; Step S120: Obtain the current ambient temperature. Within the ambient temperature range of the current ambient temperature, determine the target humidity setting value corresponding to the current ambient temperature based on the running time of each historical set humidity value, so as to control the air conditioner to set the humidity parameter to the target humidity setting value.

[0025] In the humidity control method provided in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, on the one hand, the humidity of the air conditioner is intelligently set, eliminating the need for the user to manually set the humidity, reducing user operations, and optimizing the user experience; on the other hand, by determining the target humidity setting value based on the duration of each historical humidity setting value of the air conditioner set by the user, the humidity parameters of the air conditioner can be set according to user preferences, thereby adjusting the indoor humidity value to a level that makes the user feel comfortable.

[0026] The above steps will now be described in more detail in another embodiment.

[0027] In step S110, the user's historical humidity settings for the air conditioner under different ambient temperature ranges are obtained.

[0028] Air conditioners, as a common household appliance, are mainly used to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow within buildings or structures, thereby maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. Temperature and humidity are key factors affecting environmental comfort, and users tend to set different humidity levels for their air conditioners depending on the ambient temperature. For example, a user in southern regions might set the air conditioner's humidity setting to 45% for rapid dehumidification when the indoor temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius in summer, while setting it to 55% when the temperature is below 30 degrees Celsius.

[0029] In this embodiment, the ambient temperature is divided into multiple different ranges, and the historical humidity settings of the air conditioner set by the user within each ambient temperature range are obtained. For example, one way to divide the ambient temperature is as follows: 28 to 31 degrees Celsius, 31 to 33 degrees Celsius, and 40 to 42 degrees Celsius. It should be noted that the above-described division of ambient temperature is merely an illustrative example, and the scope of protection of this exemplary embodiment is not limited thereto. For instance, it may include more ambient temperatures, and the granularity of dividing each ambient temperature range can be adjusted according to actual circumstances.

[0030] For example, this embodiment of the disclosure obtains historical humidity settings for an air conditioner set by a user over the past N days at different ambient temperature ranges. The smaller the value of N, the higher the sensitivity of the obtained historical humidity settings; that is, the better it reflects the latest user preferences when their preferred humidity changes. However, it also makes it more likely that insufficient historical humidity settings will be obtained. Therefore, when determining the value of N, both the sensitivity and the amount of data obtained need to be considered. Based on data analysis, this embodiment of the disclosure typically sets the value of N to 7 to ensure that while obtaining a sufficient amount of data, the obtained historical humidity settings more accurately reflect user preferences. It is understood that the above scenario is merely illustrative, and the value of N can be set to other values ​​depending on the actual situation.

[0031] In step S120, the current ambient temperature is obtained. Within the ambient temperature range of the current ambient temperature, the target humidity setting value corresponding to the current ambient temperature is determined based on the running time of each historical set humidity value, so as to control the air conditioner to set the humidity parameter to the target humidity setting value.

[0032] The aforementioned current ambient temperature is the real-time indoor temperature. In this embodiment, the temperature uploaded by the air conditioner's temperature sensor can be used as the current real-time temperature. Alternatively, the real-time temperature can be obtained through other temperature acquisition devices connected to the air conditioner. For example, the current real-time ambient temperature can be obtained through other smart home devices with temperature acquisition capabilities connected to the air conditioner. These smart home devices can communicate with the air conditioner via Bluetooth or a wireless network.

[0033] The above method, which determines the target humidity setting value corresponding to the current ambient temperature based on the running time of each historical humidity setting value within the current ambient temperature range, can achieve the following: within a preset time period, obtain the total running time of the air conditioner within the ambient temperature range, as well as the running time of each historical humidity setting value within that range; calculate the proportion of the running time of each historical humidity setting value to the total running time, and select the historical humidity setting value with the largest proportion as the target humidity setting value.

[0034] The aforementioned historical humidity setting runtime refers to the duration of operation within the current ambient temperature range for that historical humidity setting. The aforementioned total operating time refers to the total duration of air conditioner use within that time range. The proportion of the operating time for each historical humidity setting to the total operating time is calculated by dividing the operating time of each historical humidity setting by the total operating time of the air conditioner. For example, if the air conditioner operates for 4 hours with a humidity setting of 45% within a temperature range of 40 to 42 degrees Celsius, and the total operating time is 5 hours, then the proportion of the operating time corresponding to that historical humidity setting is 80%. The calculation method is the same when the temperature range is other ranges and / or the historical humidity setting is other values.

[0035] Preferably, to better adapt to user needs, when determining the target humidity setting value, this embodiment of the disclosure can also assign weights to the runtime corresponding to the historical humidity setting values. For example, among the historical humidity setting values ​​obtained over the past N days, the closer the historical humidity setting value is to the current date, the higher its runtime weight can be assigned. For instance, for the historical humidity setting values ​​obtained over the past N days, the runtime weight for day N-1 can be set to 5, the runtime weight for day N-2 to 3, the runtime weight for day N-3 to 1, the runtime weight for day N-4 to 1, and the runtime weight for day N-5 and each subsequent day to 0.5. It is understood that the above scenario is merely an illustrative example, and the scope of protection of this embodiment of the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the weights can be set to other values ​​according to actual circumstances.

[0036] Specifically, the target humidity setting value can be determined as follows: assign weights to each historical humidity setting value, multiply the duration ratio corresponding to each historical humidity setting value by the weight, and take the historical humidity setting value corresponding to the largest product as the target humidity setting value.

[0037] Taking the above-mentioned setting of runtime weights as follows: N-1 day is 5, N-2 day is 3, N-3 day is 1, N-4 day is 1, and N-5 day and thereafter are 0.5, the target set humidity value at each ambient temperature is determined based on the weight and duration proportion of each historical set humidity value. The final runtime proportion of each historical set temperature is then determined by the following formula: Final runtime percentage = (N-1) daily runtime percentage 5+(N-2) proportion of daily running time 3+(N-3) proportion of daily running time 1+(N-4) proportion of daily running time 1+(N-5) proportion of daily running time 0.5 + ... + Proportion of the most recent N-day runtime 0.5 For each ambient temperature range, the final running time of each historical set humidity value is calculated using the above formula, and the historical set humidity value with the longest final running time is taken as the target set humidity value.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the target humidity value obtained through the above process can be shown in Table 1 below: Table 1:

[0039] In this specific embodiment, the target humidity setting value is determined by calculating the running time proportion of each historical humidity setting value within each ambient temperature range, as shown in Table 1 above.

[0040] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after obtaining the real-time current ambient temperature, the ambient temperature range in which the current ambient temperature is located is determined, and the humidity parameter of the air conditioner is set to the target set humidity value corresponding to the ambient temperature range.

[0041] Taking Table 1 above as an example, assuming that the real-time ambient temperature is 32 degrees, and the current ambient temperature is determined to be in the range of 31 to 33 degrees, the target humidity setting value corresponding to this ambient temperature range can be obtained from Table 1 as 50%. Therefore, the humidity parameter of the air conditioner is set to 50%.

[0042] It should be noted that the above scenario is only an illustrative example, and the scope of protection of this example embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0043] In another specific embodiment of this disclosure, when the corresponding historical set humidity value cannot be obtained in the ambient temperature range corresponding to the current ambient temperature, the target set humidity value can be determined in the following three ways according to the priority order: (1) expand the range of the preset time period for obtaining the historical set humidity value, and determine the target humidity setting value based on the obtained historical set humidity value; (2) in the range of the area where the distance from the user's area is less than a preset threshold, in each ambient temperature range, obtain the mode of the historical set humidity values ​​of multiple other users for the air conditioner as the user's historical set humidity value for the air conditioner, and determine the target humidity setting value based on the historical set humidity value; (3) set the target set humidity value as the system default value.

[0044] For example, taking the above N value as 7, that is, obtaining the historical set humidity value of the past 7 days, if the historical set humidity value cannot be obtained in the past 7 days, for example, if the user has not used the humidity adjustment function of the air conditioner in the past 7 days, the time range can be expanded, for example, the historical set humidity value of the past 30 days can be obtained, and the target set humidity value can be determined by the humidity control method described above.

[0045] Since the environmental and climatic conditions in neighboring areas are relatively similar, in this embodiment of the disclosure, if the historical set humidity value cannot be obtained even after expanding the preset time period, the mode of the historical set humidity values ​​of users in neighboring areas at the current ambient temperature can be obtained as the historical set humidity value. For example, assuming the current user is located in District B of City A, and the historical set humidity value of the current user at the current ambient temperature still cannot be obtained after extending the past 7 days to 30 days, the mode of the humidity setting values ​​of all users in District B of City A can be taken as the target set humidity value.

[0046] If the historical humidity setting value of the current user cannot be obtained by expanding the time range, and the humidity setting values ​​of the air conditioners set by users in the neighboring area cannot be obtained, the target humidity setting value will be set as the system default value in this embodiment of the disclosure.

[0047] It should be noted that although the steps of the method in this disclosure are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in that specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additional or alternative steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or a step may be broken down into multiple steps.

[0048] Furthermore, this disclosure also provides an air conditioner that can automatically adjust indoor humidity based on the above-described humidity control method, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the main unit of the air conditioner includes a receiving unit and a control unit, wherein: The aforementioned receiving unit receives the target set humidity value determined according to any of the aforementioned humidity control methods; In this embodiment of the disclosure, the cloud of the air conditioner automatically determines the target set humidity value through the above-described humidity control method. After determining the target set humidity value based on the user's historical set humidity values ​​for the air conditioner, the cloud sends the target set humidity value to the receiving unit. The receiving unit is used to receive the target set humidity value so that the control unit sets the humidity parameter of the air conditioner to the target set humidity value.

[0049] The aforementioned control unit sets the humidity parameter to the target set humidity value.

[0050] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the main unit of the air conditioner further includes a temperature acquisition unit, which is used to acquire the current ambient temperature and upload it to the cloud. Specifically, the current ambient temperature can be obtained by a temperature sensor installed in the air conditioner, or by a weather data acquisition device associated with the air conditioner; this embodiment of the disclosure does not impose any special limitations on this.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner also has a humidity control unit, which is used to adjust the humidity according to a target set humidity value via a host, or to adjust the humidity according to a target set humidity value via a humidity control device connected to the air conditioner.

[0052] Correspondingly, in this example embodiment, a humidity control device is also provided, referencing Figure 3 As shown, the humidity control device 300 may include a historical data acquisition module 310 and a target setpoint determination module 320. Wherein: The historical data acquisition module 310 is configured to acquire the historical humidity settings of the air conditioner by the user under different ambient temperature ranges. The target setpoint determination module 320 is configured to acquire the current ambient temperature, and within the ambient temperature range where the current ambient temperature is located, determine the target humidity setpoint corresponding to the current ambient temperature based on the running time of each historical set humidity value, so as to control the air conditioner to set the humidity parameter to the target humidity setpoint.

[0053] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the target set value determination module obtains the current ambient temperature by means of the following method: obtaining the current ambient temperature through the temperature sensor of the air conditioner or a temperature acquisition device connected to the air conditioner.

[0054] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the target setpoint determination module achieves the above-mentioned determination of the target humidity setpoint corresponding to the current ambient temperature within the ambient temperature range based on the running time of each historical set humidity value in the following manner: within a preset time period, the total running time of the air conditioner within the ambient temperature range and the running time of each historical set humidity value within the ambient temperature range are obtained; the running time of each historical set humidity value is calculated as the proportion of the running time of the historical set humidity value to the total running time, and the historical set humidity value with the largest proportion of the running time is selected as the target humidity setpoint.

[0055] Preferably, when determining the target humidity setting value, a weight can be set for each historical humidity setting value, as follows: a weight is set for each historical humidity setting value, the duration ratio corresponding to each historical humidity setting value is multiplied by the weight, and the historical humidity setting value corresponding to the largest product result is used as the target humidity setting value.

[0056] Furthermore, when the corresponding historical humidity setting value cannot be obtained within the ambient temperature range corresponding to the current ambient temperature, the aforementioned control module is also used to determine the target humidity setting value in priority order using the following methods: expanding the range of the preset time period for obtaining historical humidity setting values, and determining the target humidity setting value based on the obtained historical humidity setting values; within the range where the distance from the user's location is less than a preset threshold, obtaining the mode of the historical humidity setting values ​​of multiple other users for the air conditioner within each ambient temperature range as the target humidity setting value; and setting the target humidity setting value as the system default value.

[0057] The specific implementation details of the aforementioned humidity control device have been explained in detail in the corresponding section of the humidity control method, so they will not be repeated here.
