[0002] Currently, ordinary air conditioners primarily rely on manual control to perform their functions. However, as air conditioner functions become increasingly sophisticated, the complexity of the controller interface increases the difficulty of operation for users with special needs, such as the elderly and children. Furthermore, people in the same environment may experience different temperatures due to varying clothing, making it crucial to set a suitable and comfortable temperature.

[0003] The existing technical solution uses radar scanning to detect whether the user is covered with a blanket, thereby controlling the air conditioner. However, this solution is only applicable to nighttime or daytime rest periods and does not take into account the current operating mode of the air conditioner, thus limiting its application scenarios.

[0004] Accordingly, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0049] Currently, ordinary air conditioners are mainly controlled manually. However, as air conditioners become more and more feature-rich, the complexity of the controller interface increases the difficulty of operation for special users such as the elderly and children. Furthermore, people in the same scene may have different clothing and feel different temperatures, making it crucial to set a suitable temperature.

[0050] Existing technical solutions include using radar scanning to detect whether a user is covered with a blanket, thereby controlling the air conditioner. However, this solution is only applicable to nighttime or daytime rest periods and does not take into account the current operating mode of the air conditioner, limiting its application scenarios.

[0051] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides an air conditioning control method, an electronic device, a storage medium, and an air conditioner.

[0052] The air conditioning control method provided by this invention mainly includes:

[0053] When the air conditioner is activated, in response to the presence of a target object within a preset area around the air conditioner, the following steps are selectively executed based on the air conditioner's current operating mode:

[0054] The air conditioner operating temperature is adjusted based on the percentage of exposed skin of the target object;

[0055] Alternatively, the swing angle of the air conditioner can be adjusted based on the distance between the air conditioner and the target object.

[0056] Based on the above method, the air conditioner's operating temperature can be selectively adjusted according to the target object's exposed skin condition at any time, or the air conditioner's swing angle can be adjusted according to the distance between the air conditioner and the target object. This reduces manual intervention in the air conditioner, making it more convenient for elderly people, children, and other special users, and improving the user experience.

[0057] The above air conditioning control method will be further explained below.

[0058] In some implementations, when the air conditioner is activated, it can be determined whether a target object exists within a preset area around the air conditioner. (See appendix.) Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the main steps of an air conditioning control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps S101 to S102.

[0059] Step S101: When the air conditioner is running, determine whether there is a target object in the preset area around the air conditioner.

[0060] In some implementations, images of a preset area around the air conditioner can be captured by a camera to detect the presence of a target object.

[0061] In other implementations, sensors can also be used to detect whether a target object exists within a preset area around the air conditioner.

[0062] The preset area around the air conditioner can be the room where the air conditioner is located; the target object can include human beings or other living beings, such as pets.

[0063] It should be noted that the above methods for determining the existence of a target object, the preset area around the air conditioner, and the examples of the target object are only illustrative. Those skilled in the art can choose according to the specific scenario in actual application, and there are no limitations here.

[0064] Step S102: If there is no target object in the preset area around the air conditioner, and the time without the target object exceeds the preset time, then control the air conditioner to turn off.

[0065] In some implementations, the preset duration can be 10 minutes or 15 minutes. For example, when the air conditioner is running, if it is determined that there are no people or pets in the room where the air conditioner is located for more than 15 minutes, the air conditioner will be turned off to save energy.

[0066] In other implementations, the preset duration can be set or changed according to different user needs. Specifically, the user can set it through a terminal device or remote control connected to the air conditioner, which is not limited here.

[0067] The above explains why there are no target objects within the preset area around the air conditioner when the air conditioner is running.

[0068] Furthermore, when the air conditioner is running, if there is a target object within a preset area around the air conditioner, the air conditioner's operating temperature will be selectively adjusted based on the percentage of the target object's exposed skin, depending on the current operating mode of the air conditioner; or, the air conditioner's swing angle will be adjusted based on the distance between the air conditioner and the target object.

[0069] In some implementations, if the air conditioner is currently operating in heating or cooling mode, the air conditioner operating temperature is adjusted based on the current operating mode of the air conditioner and the percentage of the target object's exposed skin.

[0070] If the air conditioner is not currently in any operating mode, or if the current operating mode is in air supply mode, the swing angle of the air conditioner will be adjusted based on the distance between the air conditioner and the target object.

[0071] It should be noted that although the steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art will understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not necessarily have to be executed in such an order. They can be executed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders, and these variations are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0072] For example, in the first embodiment, if a target object exists within a preset area around the air conditioner when the air conditioner is running, the current operating mode of the air conditioner is first obtained, and then selective execution is performed based on the current operating mode of the air conditioner:

[0073] The air conditioner operating temperature is adjusted based on the percentage of exposed skin of the target object;

[0074] Alternatively, the air conditioner's swing angle can be adjusted based on the distance between the air conditioner and the target object.

[0075] In the second embodiment, if a target object exists within a preset area around the air conditioner while the air conditioner is running, selective execution is performed:

[0076] The air conditioner's operating temperature is adjusted based on the current operating mode of the air conditioner and the percentage of exposed skin on the target subject.

[0077] Alternatively, the swing angle of the air conditioner can be adjusted based on the current operating mode of the air conditioner and the distance between the air conditioner and the target object.

[0078] Those skilled in the art can choose the execution order according to the specific scenario in practical applications, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0079] The following description uses the second embodiment described above as an example for further explanation.

[0080] In some implementations, when adjusting the air conditioner's operating temperature based on the current air conditioner operating mode and the percentage of the target object's exposed skin, the current air conditioner operating mode and the percentage of the target object's exposed skin must first be obtained.

[0081] Specifically, the percentage of exposed skin on the target object can be obtained before obtaining the current operating mode of the air conditioner; or, the percentage of exposed skin on the target object can be obtained after obtaining the current operating mode of the air conditioner; or, both the current operating mode of the air conditioner and the percentage of exposed skin on the target object can be obtained simultaneously. Those skilled in the art can determine the order of acquisition based on specific circumstances in practical applications, and no limitation is made here.

[0082] The following example, which involves obtaining the percentage of exposed skin on the target object after obtaining the current operating mode of the air conditioner, will further illustrate how to adjust the operating temperature of the air conditioner based on the current operating mode of the air conditioner and the percentage of exposed skin on the target object.

[0083] In some implementations, if the current operating mode of the air conditioner is determined to be heating or cooling, the percentage of exposed skin of the target object is obtained, and the operating temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted based on the percentage of exposed skin of the target object and the current quarterly exposure parameters in the database.

[0084] See appendix Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the main steps of adjusting the air conditioner operating temperature based on the percentage of exposed skin of the target object and the current quarter's exposure parameters in the database, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps S201 to S202.

[0085] Step S201: Compare the percentage of exposed skin on the target object with the magnitude of the exposure parameter for the current quarter.

[0086] Specifically, before comparing the percentage of exposed skin on the target subject with the current quarter's exposure parameter, the percentage of exposed skin on the target subject must first be obtained. (See Appendix.) Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the main steps in obtaining the percentage of exposed skin on a target object according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the steps S2011 to S2012 are as follows:

[0087] Step S2011: Obtain the image information of the target object.

[0088] In some implementations, image information of the user or pet can be captured by a camera, which is the target object information.

[0089] Step S2012: Obtain the percentage of exposed skin on the target object based on the target object image information.

[0090] In some embodiments, the acquired image information of the target object can be processed and analyzed, and the skin exposure ratio a% of the target object can be obtained through an image processing algorithm.

[0091] For example, an image of the target object can be acquired by an ordinary camera, and skin recognition can be performed on the entire image of the target object to obtain the skin exposure area. Then, a% can be calculated based on the skin exposure area and the entire target object area; or, a thermal image of the target object can be acquired by an infrared camera, the temperature distribution of the body area of the target object can be calculated based on the thermal image, and further the skin exposure ratio a% of the target object can be obtained according to the temperature distribution. There is no limitation here.

[0092] Among them, if the target object is a human body, the skin exposure ratio of the human body is directly calculated as a%; if the target object is a pet, the hair exposure ratio of the pet when dressed is calculated as a%.

[0093] After obtaining the skin exposure ratio a% of the target object, a% can be compared with the current quarter exposure parameter.

[0094] Specifically, the current quarter exposure parameter is obtained based on the model of the current quarter exposure parameter in the database. The training set of the model of the current quarter exposure parameter can be obtained based on big data, or the obtained skin exposure ratio a% of the target object can be added to the training set of the model of the current quarter exposure parameter in the database to train the model of the current quarter exposure parameter based on the updated training set. By enriching the data of the training set with the skin exposure ratio of the target object obtained each time and through learning cycles, a more accurate current quarter exposure parameter can be obtained.

[0095] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the previous quarter exposure parameters in the heating mode and the cooling mode can be the same, denoted as x%.

[0096] In other embodiments, the previous quarter exposure parameters in the heating mode and the cooling mode can be different, which are the first current quarter exposure parameter and the second current quarter exposure parameter, denoted as x1% and x2% respectively.

[0097] The above is a further description of step S201.

[0098] Step S202: Adjust the operating temperature of the air conditioner based on the current operating mode and the comparison result.

[0099] In some embodiments, if the current operating mode is the heating mode, when a% = x1%, the current operating temperature is maintained; when a% > x1%, the air conditioner is controlled to increase the operating temperature; when a% < x1%, the air conditioner is controlled to decrease the operating temperature.

[0100] Specifically, when a% = x1%, it indicates that the temperature is appropriate at this time, and the current operating temperature can be maintained; when a% > x1%, it indicates that the heating demand is high at this time, and the operating temperature can be appropriately increased; when a% < x1%, it indicates that the heating demand is low at this time, and the operating temperature can be appropriately decreased.

[0101] In some other embodiments, if the current operating mode is the cooling mode, when a% = x2%, the current operating temperature is maintained; when a% > x2%, the air conditioner is controlled to increase the operating temperature; when a% < x2%, the air conditioner is controlled to decrease the operating temperature.

[0102] Specifically, when a% = x2%, it indicates that the temperature is appropriate at this time, and the current operating temperature can be maintained; when a% > x2%, it indicates that the cooling demand is low at this time, and the operating temperature can be appropriately increased; when a% < x2%, it indicates that the cooling demand is high at this time, and the operating temperature can be appropriately decreased.

[0103] Among them, the temperature for appropriate decrease or increase can be set according to the actual situation, and no limitation is made here.

[0104] The above is a further description of adjusting the operating temperature of the air conditioner based on the current operating mode of the air conditioner and the proportion of the target object's skin exposure. Next, a further description of adjusting the air swing angle of the air conditioner based on the current operating mode of the air conditioner and the distance between the air conditioner and the target object will be continued.

[0105] In some embodiments, if the air conditioner has no current operating mode, or the current operating mode is the air supply mode, the distance between the air conditioner and the target object is obtained, and the air swing angle of the air conditioner is adjusted based on the distance between the air conditioner and the target object.

[0106] Specifically, the distance between the air conditioner and the target object can be obtained based on a pyroelectric infrared sensor, or the distance between the air conditioner and the target object can be obtained based on a radar sensor, and no limitation is made here.

[0107] Further, it is judged whether the distance between the air conditioner and the target object exceeds a preset distance. If the distance between the air conditioner and the target object exceeds the preset distance, the set air swing angle is maintained; otherwise, the air swing angle is adjusted to automatic air swing.

[0108] Among them, the preset distance can be set according to the specific scenario. For example, when the air conditioner is placed in the bedroom, the preset distance can be set to two meters; when the air conditioner is placed in the living room, the preset distance can be set to three meters.

[0109] Furthermore, when the distance between the air conditioner and the user exceeds the preset distance, the currently set angle can be maintained; when the distance between the air conditioner and the user does not exceed the preset distance, the air conditioner can be adjusted to automatic swing mode. This better meets the needs of the human body, avoids excessive blasting under the air conditioner due to improper use, effectively prevents air conditioning sickness, and further protects the user's health.

[0110] The above explains how to adjust the air conditioner's swing angle based on the air conditioner's current operating mode and the distance between the air conditioner and the target object.

[0111] The following example illustrates how to adjust the air conditioner's operating temperature based on the current operating mode and the percentage of exposed skin of the target object before obtaining the current operating mode of the air conditioner, or how to adjust the air conditioner's swing angle based on the current operating mode and the distance between the air conditioner and the target object.

[0112] See appendix Figure 4 , Figure 4 The main steps of an air conditioning control method according to an embodiment of the invention are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it mainly includes the following steps S401 to S4022.

[0113] Step S401: Start the air conditioner.

[0114] Step S402: Determine whether there is a target object within the preset area around the air conditioner;

[0115] Furthermore, if so, proceed to step S405; otherwise, proceed to step S403.

[0116] Step S403: Determine whether the preset time has elapsed since there is no target object within the preset area around the air conditioner.

[0117] Furthermore, if so, proceed to step S404; otherwise, return to step S402.

[0118] Step S404: Control the air conditioner to turn off.

[0119] Step S405: Obtain the image information of the target object.

[0120] Step S406: Obtain the percentage of exposed skin (a%) of the target object based on the target object image information.

[0121] Step S407: Obtain the current operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0122] Step S408: Determine whether the current operating mode of the air conditioner is heating mode.

[0123] Furthermore, if the air conditioner is currently operating in heating mode, then compare the percentage of exposed skin of the target object (a%) with the current quarterly exposure parameter (x1%), i.e., execute step S409; otherwise, execute step S4013.

[0124] Step S409: Determine if a% = x1%.

[0125] Furthermore, if a% = x1%, then the judgment ends; otherwise, proceed to step S4010.

[0126] Step S4010: Determine whether a% > x1%.

[0127] Further, if so, proceed to step S4011; otherwise, proceed to step S4012.

[0128] Step S4011: Control the air conditioner to increase the operating temperature.

[0129] Step S4012: Control the air conditioner to lower the operating temperature.

[0130] Step S4013: Determine whether the current operating mode of the air conditioner is cooling mode.

[0131] Furthermore, if the air conditioner is currently operating in cooling mode, then the percentage of exposed skin on the target object (a%) is compared with the current quarterly exposure parameter (x2%), i.e., step S4014 is executed; otherwise, step S4018 is executed.

[0132] Step S4014: Determine if a% = x2%.

[0133] Furthermore, if a% = x2%, then the judgment ends; otherwise, proceed to step S4015.

[0134] Step S4015: Determine whether a% > x2%.

[0135] Further, if so, proceed to step S4016; otherwise, proceed to step S4017.

[0136] Step S4016: Control the air conditioner to increase the operating temperature.

[0137] Step S4017: Control the air conditioner to lower the operating temperature.

[0138] Step S4018: Obtain the distance d between the air conditioner and the target object.

[0139] Step S4019: Determine whether d > preset distance.

[0140] Further, if so, proceed to step S4020; otherwise, proceed to step S4021.

[0141] Step S4020: Maintain the set swing angle.

[0142] Step S4021: Adjust to automatic swing mode.

[0143] Step S4022: Add a% to the model training set of x%.

[0144] Based on the above method, the air conditioner's operating temperature can be selectively adjusted according to the target object's exposed skin condition at any time, or the air conditioner's swing angle can be adjusted according to the distance between the air conditioner and the target object. This reduces manual intervention in the air conditioner, making it more convenient for elderly people, children, and other special users, and improving the user experience.

[0145] It should be noted that although the steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art will understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not necessarily have to be executed in such an order. They can be executed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders, and these variations are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
