[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment of an air supply control method for an air conditioner is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0035] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an air supply control method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the air supply control method of the air conditioner includes the following steps:

[0036] Step S102, obtaining audio feature information of the target audio at each audio playback point within a predetermined time range, wherein the target audio is the audio currently being played, and the predetermined time range is determined based on a first time point and a second time point, the first time point is a time point corresponding to the current playback moment of the target audio, and the second time point is a time point corresponding to the playback end moment of the target audio, and the audio feature information includes at least: the amplitude of the target audio, and the frequency of the target audio.

[0037] Optionally, the target audio is an audio that can predict a sound scene. For example, music played through a built-in speaker of an air conditioner. In the embodiment of the present invention, the target audio is music for illustration.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner is a voice-activated air conditioner. An air conditioning processing unit is provided inside the air conditioner for processing the audio content of music and playing the music through a speaker.

[0039] Optionally, the predetermined time range may be the time between the current audio playback time point and the audio playback end time point.

[0040] In this embodiment, the air conditioner can analyze in real time through the air conditioning processing unit all amplitudes and frequencies of the music audio between the current audio playback time point and the audio end playback time point.

[0041] Step S104 : determining the current location information of the target object, wherein the target object is an object whose location is less than a predetermined distance from the air conditioner.

[0042] Optionally, the target object is a user.

[0043] Optionally, the user may be a user who is in the same room as the air conditioner, or a user who is less than a predetermined distance from the air conditioner.

[0044] In this embodiment, the user's current location information may be determined, for example, the user's coordinates.

[0045] In addition, the user's location information can also be determined based on the objects next to the user. For example, if there are objects such as a sofa, a TV, and a chair next to the user, the object closest to the user can be determined. For example, if the distance between the user and the sofa is the shortest, the location of the sofa can be determined as the user's location.

[0046] Step S106: Generate an air supply strategy for the air conditioner based on the audio feature information and the current location information.

[0047] In this embodiment, in order to provide users with a better air supply experience, the air supply strategy of the air conditioner can be determined based on the characteristic information of the currently playing music and the user's current location information, so that the air supply strategy can better meet user needs.

[0048] Step S108: Control the air conditioner to perform an air supply operation corresponding to the air supply strategy at each audio playback point.

[0049] From the above, it can be seen that in an embodiment of the present invention, the amplitude and frequency of the currently playing audio at each playback time can be obtained first; then the current position of the user is determined, and the air supply strategy of the air conditioner is determined according to the obtained amplitude and frequency of the currently playing audio at each playback time and the current position of the user, and the air conditioner is controlled to perform the air supply operation according to the air supply strategy, thereby achieving the purpose of providing users with a better air supply experience for predictable sound scenes, achieving the technical effect of improving the air supply accuracy of the air conditioner, and reducing the limitations of air conditioners based on audio air supply, so that the air conditioner can not only supply air based on unpredictable sound scenes, but also supply air according to predictable remaining scenes.

[0050] It's worth noting that in this embodiment of the present invention, air conditioning feedback is provided in real time based on predictable music information and changes in the user's location. Specifically, the dynamic changes in the air conditioning's air flow are planned based on the content of the audio being played by the air conditioner and the user's current location, thereby enhancing the user's immersive interactive experience.

[0051] Therefore, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention solves the technical problem in the related art that the air supply method of the air conditioner is limited by the unpredictability of the ambient sound, cannot provide more reliable air supply adjustment for predictable sound scenes, and has great limitations.

[0052] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, before obtaining the audio feature information of the target audio at each audio playback point within a predetermined time range, the air supply control method of the air conditioner may also include: responding to the audio playback instruction sent by the target object, wherein the audio playback instruction contains audio information requested to be played, and the audio information includes at least one of the following: the name of the audio requested to be played, keywords in the audio requested to be played, the creator of the audio requested to be played, and the singer of the audio requested to be played; parsing the audio information from the audio playback instruction; and controlling the air conditioner to play the target audio according to the audio information.

[0053] In this embodiment, after the user issues an audio play instruction, the air conditioner can respond to the audio play instruction, parse the audio information from the audio play instruction, and then trigger the speaker to play the audio corresponding to the audio information.

[0054] In this embodiment, the audio information may be audio-related information, such as the title of the requested audio, keywords in the requested audio, the creator of the requested audio, and the singer of the requested audio. The audio information is parsed from the audio playback instruction, and the air conditioner is controlled to play the target audio based on the audio information. For example, a user may issue the audio playback instruction "Play music Daoxiang", where the audio information may be "Daoxiang"; a user may issue the audio playback instruction "Play Jay Chou's music", where the audio information may be "Jay Chou".

[0055] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, obtaining audio feature information of the target audio at each audio playback point within a predetermined time range includes: analyzing the audio content corresponding to the target audio to obtain the audio feature information of the target audio at each audio playback point.

[0056] In this embodiment, the audio content corresponding to the target audio may be analyzed to obtain the amplitude and frequency of the target audio at each audio playback point.

[0057] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, determining the current position information of the target object includes: obtaining the sound source position sensed by the audio sensing component built into the air conditioner, wherein the sound at the sound source position is generated by the target object; and determining the current position information of the target object based on the sound source position.

[0058] In this embodiment, the air conditioner collects the sound source position in real time through the microphone array inside the body to determine the user's room position. The method of collecting the position may include but is not limited to: determining by collecting and identifying the voice of specific user characteristics; and determining by collecting and identifying the sound caused by user activities.

[0059] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, generating an air supply strategy for an air conditioner based on audio feature information and current position information may include: determining first air supply information of an air supply component of the air conditioner based on the audio feature information, wherein the first air supply information is the air supply information of the air supply component at each audio playback point except the current time point, and the first air supply information includes at least: air supply speed and air supply span; determining second air supply information of the air supply component at each audio playback point after the current time point based on the first air supply information, the current position information and the current sweeping range of the air supply component, wherein the second air supply information includes at least: the swinging speed of the sweeping blades in the air supply component, and the sweeping range of the sweeping blades.

[0060] In this embodiment, the air supply speed and air supply span of the air supply component of the air conditioner can be determined based on the audio feature information; then the swing speed of the sweeping blades in the air supply component at each audio playback point after the current time point and the sweeping range of the sweeping blades can be determined based on the air supply speed and air supply span of the air supply component, the user's current location information and the current sweeping range of the air supply component.

[0061] In the above embodiment, determining the first air supply information of the air supply component of the air conditioner based on the audio feature information includes: determining the air supply speed and air supply distance based on the amplitude in the audio feature information; and determining the air supply span based on the frequency in the audio feature information.

[0062] In this embodiment, the wind speed and the left and right air sweep span at each time point after the current time point (i.e., each audio playback point) can be determined based on the audio amplitude at that time point; the air supply span at that time point can be determined based on the frequency at each time point after the current time point (i.e., each audio playback point).

[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, the amplitude is positively correlated with the air supply speed and the air supply distance; and the frequency is negatively correlated with the air supply span.

[0064] That is, the larger the amplitude (which means louder the sound), the faster (stronger) the airflow speed becomes, and the airflow distance is longer; the smaller the amplitude (which means quieter the sound), the slower (slower) the airflow speed becomes, and the airflow distance is closer. Furthermore, the larger the frequency (which means higher the pitch of the sound), the smaller the span of the left and right airflow, and the more concentrated the airflow direction; the smaller the frequency (which means lower the pitch of the sound), the larger the span of the left and right airflow, and the looser the airflow direction.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second air supply information satisfies the following conditions: the rate of change of the swing speed is less than the sweeping speed threshold, the sweeping range is centered on the target object, the sweeping blade sweeps to the position corresponding to the current position information when it swings to the peak of the wind speed change, and the sweeping blade sweeps to the position corresponding to the current position information when it swings to the minimum sweeping span.

[0066] That is, in an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner calculates the left and right sweep swing speed and range of each subsequent music playback time node based on the user position, the current left and right sweep positions, the subsequent wind speed at each time, and the left and right sweep span. The calculated left and right sweep swing speed and range at each subsequent moment meet the following requirements: ① The swing speed changes smoothly; ② The swing range is always centered on the user position or the user position is kept as close to the center as possible; ③ When the swing reaches the peak value of the wind speed change (maximum or minimum value of the region), the air conditioner is just controlled to sweep the air to the user's position; ④ When the swing reaches the minimum span of the left and right sweeps (fixed-frame sweep), the air conditioner is just controlled to sweep the air to the user's position.

[0067] According to the above embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner is controlled to perform air supply operations corresponding to the air supply strategy at each audio playback point, including: controlling the speed of the air sweeping motor of the air conditioner at each audio playback point according to the second air supply information, and at the same time controlling the speed of the fan of the air conditioner at each audio playback point according to the second air supply information.

[0068] In this embodiment, the air conditioner can control the operation of the fan based on the calculated wind speed at each subsequent music playing time node; the air conditioner can control the operation of the sweep motor based on the calculated left and right sweep swing speed and range at each subsequent music playing time node.

[0069] The air supply control method for an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, the target audio is music as an example.

[0070] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an optional air supply control method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, first, the air conditioner analyzes the audio amplitude and frequency of all times between the beginning and end of the currently playing music in real time; then, the air conditioner determines the wind speed and left and right sweep span at each subsequent time point based on the audio amplitude and frequency at that time point; then, the air conditioner monitors the user's position in real time by locating the sound source; the air conditioner calculates the left and right sweep swing speed and range of each subsequent music playing time node based on the user's position, the current left and right sweep positions, the subsequent wind speeds at each time point, and the left and right sweep spans; finally, the air conditioner controls the fan operation based on the calculated wind speed at each subsequent music playing time node; the air conditioner controls the sweep motor operation based on the calculated left and right sweep swing speed and range at each subsequent music playing time node, so as to perform fine control over the air supply of the air conditioner.

[0071] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present invention, after a user plays music through the air conditioner, the air conditioner automatically controls the air speed and the speed and range of the left and right air sweep according to the music being played. The air conditioner provides rapid or slow, concentrated or dispersed air flow changes based on the changing music effects, allowing the user to accurately sense the air flow changes based on their location, thereby enhancing the user's immersive experience.

[0072] In summary, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention can address the problem of home appliances being unable to proactively and efficiently provide multi-dimensional comfort interactions in predictable music playback scenarios. This method, through comprehensive, real-time analysis of the music being played by the air conditioner and monitoring changes in the user's position, ultimately enables real-time changes in the airflow provided by the air conditioner, providing immersive feedback to the user, allowing them to experience the music changes in real time and enhancing their multi-dimensional spatial experience.

[0074] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus the necessary general hardware platform, and of course it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for enabling a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment of the present application.

[0075] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an air supply control device for an air conditioner for implementing the above-mentioned air supply control method for an air conditioner.

Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: an acquisition unit 31, a determination unit 33, a generation unit 35 and a control unit 37. The air supply control device of the air conditioner is described below.

[0078] The generating unit 35 is configured to generate an air supply strategy for the air conditioner according to the audio feature information and the current location information.

[0079] The control unit 37 is used to control the air conditioner to perform an air supply operation corresponding to the air supply strategy at each audio playback point.

[0080] It should be noted here that the above-mentioned acquisition unit 31, determination unit 33, generation unit 35 and control unit 37 correspond to steps S102 to S108 in the above-mentioned embodiment. The four units and the corresponding steps implement the same instances and application scenarios, but are not limited to the contents disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0081] As can be seen from the above, in the scheme recorded in the above embodiment of the present invention, the acquisition unit can be used to obtain the audio feature information of the target audio at each audio playback point within a predetermined time range, wherein the target audio is the audio currently being played, and the predetermined time range is determined based on a first time point and a second time point, the first time point is the time point corresponding to the current playback moment of the target audio, and the second time point is the time point corresponding to the playback end moment of the target audio, and the audio feature information includes at least: the amplitude of the target audio, and the frequency of the target audio; then the determination unit is used to determine the current position information of the target object, wherein the target object is an object whose position is less than a predetermined distance from the air conditioner; then the generation unit is used to generate an air supply strategy for the air conditioner based on the audio feature information and the current position information; and the control unit is used to control the air conditioner to perform an air supply operation corresponding to the air supply strategy at each audio playback point, thereby achieving the purpose of providing users with a better air supply experience for predictable sound scenes, achieving the technical effect of improving the air supply accuracy of the air conditioner, and reducing the limitations of the air conditioner based on audio air supply, so that the air conditioner can not only supply air based on unpredictable sound scenes, but also supply air based on predictable remaining scenes.

[0082] It's worth noting that in this embodiment of the present invention, air conditioning feedback is provided in real time based on predictable music information and changes in the user's location.
