[0028] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a regional temperature control method provided by one embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment can be applied to a wireless thermostat as a new remote control for a room temperature device. The wireless thermostat runs a basic regional control system algorithm, and forms an optimal temperature control scheme for each zone based on the characteristics of different zone types and the regional capacity distribution requirements. This method can be executed by a regional temperature control device, which can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device with corresponding data processing capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0029] S110 , generating a basic zone control system according to room environment space information and user living habits, wherein the zone control system includes at least two zones with different set comfort temperatures and a temperature control priority for each zone.

[0030] S120 , performing temperature control on each zone in turn according to the set comfort temperature and temperature control priority of each zone in the basic zone control system.

[0031] The wireless thermostat is a mobile device similar to an ornament that can be placed in different locations and areas of the room. It is equipped with spatial information collection equipment such as an array of infrared sensors and cameras to scan the room and obtain spatial information about the room environment. The wireless thermostat is also used with a wireless receiver. The wireless receiver is connected to the existing temperature control device in the room (such as the central air conditioner) through a wired connection and to the wireless thermostat wirelessly. This establishes a wireless communication connection between the wireless thermostat and the existing temperature control device, allowing the wireless thermostat to control the temperature of various areas in the room through the temperature control device. A basic zone control system includes at least two zones, each with a set comfort temperature that is optimal for that area. The room where the wireless thermostat is located can be divided into a control zone, a user-usual zone, a temperature-varying zone, and a regular zone. The control zone is the area in the room where the temperature control device's air outlet is located, the user-usual zone is where the user frequently spends time, the temperature-varying zone is where the temperature rises and falls rapidly, and the regular zone is where the user rarely visits. Optionally, the temperature control priorities of the zones in the basic zone control system are as follows from high to low: user waiting zone, regular zone, temperature change zone, and control zone.

[0032] Specifically, during the initial installation and commissioning phase, the wireless thermostat scans and monitors the room's regional environment, collecting spatial information and basic user habits to generate a basic regional control system. This basic regional control system is stored in the wireless thermostat's control chip and generated through an algorithm. Different zones have different temperature control priorities. The wireless thermostat prioritizes the temperature control needs of high-priority zones, ensuring that the temperature in those zones reaches the corresponding set comfort temperature. Once the temperature in higher-priority zones reaches its set comfort temperature, the temperature control needs of lower-priority zones are met until the current temperature in each zone reaches the set comfort temperature.

[0033] The embodiment of the present invention automatically detects the temperature of room areas through wireless thermostats, combines the user's living habits, generates a regional comfort control system, and accurately and intelligently controls the room temperature in different areas, providing users with a living environment that specifically suits them and improving their sense of well-being.

[0034] Figure 2A This is a flow chart of a temperature control method for different regions provided by another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is optimized and improved on the basis of the above embodiment. Figure 2A As shown, the method includes:

[0035] S210. Scan and obtain spatial information and environmental information of the room where the wireless thermostat is located, and determine the air outlet location and unit capacity of the temperature control device in the room; generate an original regional control system based on the spatial information, the environmental information, the air outlet location, and the unit capacity; and modify the original regional control system based on the user's living habits collected during the transition period to generate a basic regional control system.

[0036] The unit capacity includes the cooling, heating and air supply capabilities of the temperature control equipment, which can be cooling, heating and air supply power respectively.

[0037] Specifically, the wireless thermostat uses its own location as a base point and uses a spatial information collection device to automatically scan the room's spatial and environmental information, collecting or receiving the temperature control device's air outlet location and unit capacity. Because collecting user habits requires a certain amount of time, this period serves as a transition period. During this transition period, a rough initial zone control system is generated based on spatial information, environmental information, air outlet location, and unit capacity. During this transition period, the wireless thermostat collects user habits. After the transition period, the initial zone control system is precisely modified based on the collected user habits, resulting in a more accurate basic zone control system.

[0038] Optionally, the air outlet position is determined by wireless signal transmission or the position where the temperature first changes during the temperature control process; and the unit capacity is determined by wireless signal transmission.

[0039] Specifically, the wireless receiver can obtain the air outlet location and unit capacity from the temperature control device and transmit it to the wireless thermostat via wireless signals. Furthermore, the wireless thermostat can also infer the air outlet location by using the location where the temperature first changes during the temperature control process as a reference.

[0040] S220 , performing temperature control on each zone in turn according to the set comfort temperature and temperature control priority of each zone in the basic zone control system.

[0041] Optionally, controlling the temperature of each zone in turn according to the set comfort temperature of each zone in the basic zone control system includes:

[0042] Determine the temperature control priority of each area in the basic area control system; when the relative temperature difference of each area does not exceed the maximum temperature difference range, control the temperature of each area in turn according to the temperature control priority of each area; when the relative temperature difference of each area exceeds the maximum temperature difference range, balance the temperature of each area, and after the balancing is completed, continue to control the temperature of each area in turn according to the temperature control priority of each area.

[0043] Specifically, different zones have different comfort temperatures, but the overall room temperature should be balanced. Each zone has a specific upper and lower limit for relative temperature, which defines the maximum temperature difference range. If the relative temperature difference between any two zones exceeds this maximum temperature difference range, the room's basic temperature is out of balance. Temperature control for the current zone is discontinued, and air supply is readjusted to other temperature zones to balance the room's basic temperature. Temperature control will resume once the temperature difference is within the range.

[0044] For example, Figure 2B This is a flow chart for sequentially controlling temperature in different zones, according to another embodiment of the present invention. After the basic zone control system of the wireless thermostat is established, it enters normal operating logic. The user's permanent waiting zone is prioritized. After running the zone control algorithm, the wireless thermostat determines the user's temperature requirement for the permanent waiting zone, adjusts the air outlet and unit capacity, and adjusts the air supply capacity of Control Zones I and II in real time based on actual regional temperature fluctuations, prioritizing the user's permanent waiting zone's needs. During this process, if there is a significant temperature difference between the user's permanent waiting zone and other areas in the room, air supply is redirected to other temperature zones to balance the base room temperature. Once the temperature difference is within the range, temperature control for the user's permanent waiting zone is resumed. Once the user's needs for the permanent waiting zone are met, air supply is adjusted to meet the control requirements of the regular zone and the temperature-variable zone, thereby achieving temperature control for the entire zone system. After the basic needs of the user's permanent waiting zone are met, air supply capacity is adjusted to control the air supply capacity requirements of the regular zone. Air supply capacity is adjusted based on the temperature difference between the regular zone temperature and the user's regularly set temperature to achieve temperature balance across the room. The temperature change zone is generally located close to the air outlet and is the area where the temperature changes fastest. Therefore, it is controlled as the lowest priority area to prevent large temperature differences.

[0045] Optionally, controlling the temperature of each zone in sequence according to the temperature control priority of each zone includes:

[0046] Determine the current temperature difference between the set comfort temperature of the current area and the actual indoor and outdoor temperatures; when the current temperature difference is greater than the temporary correction temperature difference, temporarily correct the set comfort temperature according to the current temperature difference and current time information to obtain a temporary comfort temperature; control the temperature of the current area according to the temporary comfort temperature; when the current temperature difference is less than the temporary correction temperature difference, restore the temporary comfort temperature to the set comfort temperature.

[0047] Specifically, before the temperature of the current area is adjusted, the temperature difference between the set comfort temperature of the current area and the average temperature in the room and the ambient temperature outside the room is determined. When the temperature difference is greater than the temporary correction temperature difference, if the temperature of the current area is only controlled according to the set comfort temperature, the cooling / heating efficiency will be very low. To solve this problem, the present invention temporarily increases or decreases the set comfort temperature according to the current temperature difference and the current time information to obtain a temporary comfort temperature when the temperature difference is greater than the temporary correction temperature difference, so as to timely adjust the air supply capacity of the unit and quickly meet user needs. When the temperature difference is less than the temporary correction temperature difference, the temporary comfort temperature is restored to the original set comfort temperature.

[0048] For example, from 8:00 to 10:00, the user's commonly used set temperature is: 25°, the indoor temperature is 15 degrees, the external temperature is 10 degrees, and the internal temperature is 7:55. The wireless thermostat corrects the set temperature to: 25+3+2=30 degrees (temporary comfort temperature = commonly used set temperature + external temperature correction + internal temperature correction), increases the unit capacity, and adjusts it back to the user's commonly used temperature setting after meeting the internal and external temperature difference range.

[0049] S230: When the basic area control system meets the update condition, update the basic area control system accordingly.

[0050] The update condition includes at least one of the following: a change in the location of the wireless thermostat, a change in the user's living habits, and a seasonal change.

[0051] Specifically, the thermostat collects information on various temperature factors in real time, and continuously improves the control algorithm over time and the user's actual life to accurately control the comfortable temperature in each area.

[0052] 1. When the thermostat position changes, compare it with the thermostat position base point before the change, map the original area to the new area in time, and generate a new area control algorithm.

[0053] 2. User habits change. We collect user habits information and make timely adjustments based on changes over time. When using the wireless thermostat, we collect user habits on a weekly basis across three dimensions: time, region, and current set temperature. If the collected information indicates a change in the user's region for three consecutive days, we promptly make regional adjustments and generate a new regional control system.

[0054] 3. Seasonal changes: Based on seasonal changes, the room temperature control parameters are intelligently modified in real time to provide users with the current optimal control temperature recommendation.

[0055] For example, Figure 2C is a schematic diagram of an original basic regional control system provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2DSchematic diagram of a new basic area control system provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2C and 2D The generated basic zone control system is updated in real time as the wireless thermostat's base point changes. When the thermostat's position changes, the original zone is mapped to the new zone by comparing it to the base point before the change. Figure 2C The user waiting area below the middle room is mapped to the Figure 2D In the middle of the room.

[0056] The embodiment of the present invention collects information on various temperature factors in real time, continuously improves the control algorithm over time and in line with the user's actual life, and accurately controls the comfortable temperature in each area, thus creating a comfortable living environment for the user in real time.
