Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioner and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Summer's mosquito infestation not only causes physical discomfort from bites and disrupts sleep, but also poses a risk of transmitting various diseases such as dengue fever and malaria. Therefore, many users rely on mosquito nets to physically keep mosquitoes out of their area, eliminating any chemical hazards. Mosquito nets come in two types: manual opening and closing nets and automatic opening and closing smart nets. Smart nets unfold and close automatically based on received commands; however, even current smart nets require manual input from the user, indicating a relatively low level of automation.

[0003] Summer temperatures are typically high, so most rooms are equipped with air conditioners. As air conditioners have evolved, they have integrated more and more functions; however, these functions are only used to adjust the air conditioner's own parameters and cannot form an effective smart room system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One objective of the first aspect of this invention is to overcome at least one deficiency of the prior art and to provide a control method for an air conditioner linked to a smart mosquito net, so as to utilize the function of the air conditioner to enable the smart mosquito net to open intelligently.

[0005] A further objective of the first aspect of the present invention is to utilize the function of an air conditioner to enable the intelligent mosquito net to close intelligently.

[0006] The second objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioner that is linked to a smart mosquito net, so as to enable the smart mosquito net to be turned on intelligently by utilizing the functions of the air conditioner.

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, the air conditioner being communicatively connected to an intelligent mosquito net located in the same environmental space; the control method includes:

[0008] The deployment and retraction status of the smart mosquito net are obtained; the deployment and retraction status of the smart mosquito net includes at least the fully deployed state.

[0009] When the smart mosquito net is in the fully deployed state, obtain the current time; and

[0010] When the current time is within a first preset time range, a closing action command is selectively sent to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to automatically close, based on the sleeping state of the person inside the smart mosquito net.

[0011] Optionally, the step of selectively sending a closing action command to the smart mosquito net to instruct the smart mosquito net to automatically close, based on the sleeping state of the person inside the smart mosquito net, includes:

[0012] Acquire the sleep status of all people inside the smart mosquito net; and

[0013] If all people inside the smart mosquito net are awake, then the closing action command is sent to the smart mosquito net.

[0014] Optionally, the step of selectively sending a closing action command to the smart mosquito net to instruct the smart mosquito net to automatically close, based on the sleeping state of the person inside the smart mosquito net, includes:

[0015] The sleep status of all people inside the smart mosquito net can be obtained;

[0016] If all people inside the smart mosquito net are awake while asleep, then the presence of mosquitoes in the environment is detected; and

[0017] If there are no mosquitoes in the environment, the closing action command is sent to the smart mosquito net.

[0018] Optionally, the step of obtaining the sleep status of all people inside the smart mosquito net includes:

[0019] Obtain the human physiological parameters of each person inside the smart mosquito net; and

[0020] The sleep state of each human being is determined based on their physiological parameters.

[0021] Optionally, the smart mosquito net can also be retracted into a fully retracted state; and

[0022] The control method further includes:

[0023] When the smart mosquito net is in the fully retracted state, obtain the current time; and

[0024] When the current time is within a second preset time range, the smart mosquito net selectively sends an unfolding action command to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to unfold automatically, based on the sleep state of the people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net.

[0025] Optionally, the step of selectively sending an unfolding command to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to unfold automatically, based on the sleep state of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net, includes:

[0026] The sleep status of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net is obtained;

[0027] If at least one human being within a preset range around the smart mosquito net is in a deep sleep state, the unfolding action command is sent to the smart mosquito net.

[0028] Optionally, the step of selectively sending an unfolding command to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to unfold automatically, based on the sleep state of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net, includes:

[0029] The sleep status of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net is obtained;

[0030] If at least one person within a preset range around the smart mosquito net is in a deep sleep state, then the presence of mosquitoes within the preset range around the smart mosquito net is detected; and

[0031] If there are no mosquitoes within a preset range around the smart mosquito net, then the unfolding action command is sent to the smart mosquito net.

[0032] Optionally, the second preset time range is from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.

[0033] Optionally, the first preset time range is from 4:00 AM to 9:00 AM.

[0034] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, the air conditioner being communicatively connected to an intelligent mosquito net located in the same environmental space as it; and the air conditioner comprising:

[0035] A control device, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a machine-executable program, and the machine-executable program, when executed by the processor, is used to implement the control method described in any of the above schemes.

[0036] The air conditioner of this invention is specifically designed to communicate with a smart mosquito net located in the same environmental space, allowing the air conditioner to obtain the opening and closing status of the smart mosquito net at any time. The inventors recognized that the opening and closing status of the smart mosquito net is closely related to the user's sleep state. When sleeping, users typically adjust the smart mosquito net to the fully open state to isolate any mosquitoes that may be present in the room; when the user wakes up, they need to adjust the smart mosquito net to the closed state to facilitate getting up and moving around. Therefore, when the smart mosquito net is in the fully open state and the current time is within a first preset time range, the air conditioner of this invention selectively sends a closing action command to the smart mosquito net based on the sleep state of the person inside, selectively instructing it to automatically close. This cleverly utilizes the air conditioner's built-in function of recognizing human sleep states, intelligently closing the smart mosquito net without requiring the user to manually send a closing action command, demonstrating a high degree of intelligence.

[0037] Furthermore, when the smart mosquito net is fully retracted and the current time is within a second preset time range, the present invention selectively sends an unfolding action command to the smart mosquito net based on the sleep state of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net, so as to selectively instruct it to unfold automatically. This cleverly utilizes the human sleep state recognition function of the air conditioner itself to intelligently unfold the smart mosquito net without requiring the user to manually send an unfolding action command to the smart mosquito net. The invention has a high degree of intelligence and avoids the problem of users being bitten because they forget to unfold the smart mosquito net before going to sleep.

[0038] This invention utilizes the human sleep state recognition function inherent in air conditioners to match the opening and closing state of smart mosquito nets with the user's sleep state, maximizing the functionality of both the air conditioner and the smart mosquito net, forming a more effective smart room system and providing a better intelligent experience for the user.

[0039] The above and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The following sections will describe some specific embodiments of the invention in detail by way of example and not limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts or portions. Those skilled in the art should understand that these drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0046] Figure 6 This is a schematic structural block diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0047] The present invention first provides a control method for an air conditioner, which is communicatively connected to an intelligent mosquito net located in the same environmental space, so as to facilitate the transmission of signals between the air conditioner and the intelligent mosquito net.

[0048] It is understandable that the air conditioner and the smart mosquito net are in the same environmental space, for example, both the air conditioner and the smart mosquito net are in the same master bedroom space, or both are in the same secondary bedroom space, etc.

[0049] The air conditioner control method of the present invention is designed based on the above-mentioned air conditioner.

[0050] The control method of the air conditioner of the present invention includes:

[0051] Obtain the opening and closing status of the smart mosquito net; the opening and closing status of the smart mosquito net includes at least the fully opened state;

[0052] Obtain the current time when the smart mosquito net is fully extended; and

[0053] When the current moment falls within the first preset time range, a closing action command is selectively sent to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to automatically close, based on the sleep state of the person inside the smart mosquito net.

[0054] It is understandable that a smart mosquito net in its fully extended state means that it is in normal working order and can effectively keep mosquitoes out.

[0055] The air conditioner of the present invention is specifically connected to a smart mosquito net that is in the same environmental space, so that the air conditioner can obtain the opening and closing status of the smart mosquito net at any time.

[0056] The inventors recognized that the opening and closing states of a smart mosquito net are closely related to the user's sleep state. When sleeping, users typically adjust the smart mosquito net to its fully open state to isolate any mosquitoes that may be present in the room; when waking up, the user needs to close the net to facilitate getting up and moving around. Therefore, this invention's air conditioner, when the smart mosquito net is fully open and within a first preset time range, selectively sends a closing command to the smart mosquito net based on the sleep state of the person inside, thus selectively instructing it to automatically close. This cleverly utilizes the air conditioner's built-in ability to recognize human sleep states, intelligently closing the mosquito net without requiring the user to manually send a closing command, demonstrating a high level of intelligence.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a control method for an air conditioner according to a first embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 1 The control method for the air conditioner of the present invention includes:

[0058] Step S10: Obtain the unfolding status of the smart mosquito net; the unfolding status of the smart mosquito net includes at least the fully unfolded state.

[0059] Step S20: Determine whether the smart mosquito net is fully extended; if yes, proceed to step S30; if no, return to step S10.

[0060] Step S30, obtain the current time; and

[0061] Step S40: Determine whether the current time is within the first preset time range; if yes, proceed to step S50; if no, return to continue the determination.

[0062] Step S50: Selectively send a closing action command to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to automatically retract, based on the sleeping state of the person inside the smart mosquito net.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first preset time range is from 4:00 AM to 9:00 AM. This time range includes the time when most users wake up from sleep. Detecting whether the sleep state of all people inside the smart mosquito net is awake within this time range yields more accurate results and better reflects reality.

[0064] In some embodiments, the step of selectively sending a closing action command to the smart mosquito net to instruct the smart mosquito net to automatically close based on the sleeping state of the person inside the smart mosquito net may specifically include:

[0065] Acquire the sleep status of all people inside the smart mosquito net; and

[0066] If all people inside the smart mosquito net are awake while sleeping, a closing command is sent to the smart mosquito net.

[0067] Multiple people may be inside a smart mosquito net, each with different awake times. For example, children typically sleep longer and wake up later. This invention sends a closing command to the smart mosquito net only when all users are awake, instructing it to automatically retract, thus better protecting each user inside the smart mosquito net from mosquito bites.

[0068] Children typically cannot operate smart mosquito nets and wake up later. This invention automatically monitors the sleep status of all people inside the smart mosquito net using an air conditioner, and can automatically retract the smart mosquito net after the child wakes up, eliminating concerns about difficulties children may encounter when using the smart mosquito net.

[0069] Specifically, Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioner control method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 2 The control method for the air conditioner of the present invention includes:

[0070] Step S10: Obtain the unfolding status of the smart mosquito net; the unfolding status of the smart mosquito net includes at least the fully unfolded state.

[0071] Step S20: Determine whether the smart mosquito net is fully extended; if yes, proceed to step S30; if no, return to step S10.

[0072] Step S30, obtain the current time; and

[0073] Step S40: Determine whether the current time is within the first preset time range; if yes, proceed to step S50; if no, return to continue the determination.

[0074] Step S51: Obtain the sleep status of all people inside the smart mosquito net; and

[0075] Step S52: Determine whether all the people inside the smart mosquito net are awake. If yes, proceed to step S55; otherwise, return to step S51.

[0076] Step S55: Send a closing action command to the smart mosquito net.

[0077] In other embodiments, the step of selectively sending a closing action command to the smart mosquito net to instruct the smart mosquito net to automatically retract based on the sleeping state of the person inside the smart mosquito net may specifically include:

[0078] Acquire the sleep status of all people inside the smart mosquito net;

[0079] If all people inside the smart mosquito net are awake while asleep, the system will detect the presence of mosquitoes in the environment; and

[0080] If there are no mosquitoes in the environment, a closing command is sent to the smart mosquito net.

[0081] Unlike the previous embodiment, in this embodiment, when all the people inside the smart mosquito net are awake, it is also necessary to determine whether there are mosquitoes in the environment where the air conditioner is located. Only when there are no mosquitoes in the environment will a closing action command be sent to the smart mosquito net to instruct the smart mosquito net to automatically retract. This can prevent users from being bitten by mosquitoes in the environment after the smart mosquito net is retracted.

[0082] Furthermore, if mosquitoes are present in the environment, a notification message will be issued to indicate their presence, so that users can kill the mosquitoes in time and avoid being bitten.

[0083] Specifically, Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioner control method according to a third embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 3 The control method for the air conditioner of the present invention includes:

[0084] Step S10: Obtain the unfolding status of the smart mosquito net; the unfolding status of the smart mosquito net includes at least the fully unfolded state.

[0085] Step S20: Determine whether the smart mosquito net is fully extended; if yes, proceed to step S30; if no, return to step S10.

[0086] Step S30, obtain the current time; and

[0087] Step S40: Determine whether the current time is within the first preset time range; if yes, proceed to step S50; if no, return to continue the determination.

[0088] Step S51: Obtain the sleep status of all people inside the smart mosquito net; and

[0089] Step S52: Determine whether all the people inside the smart mosquito net are awake. If yes, proceed to step S53; otherwise, return to step S51.

[0090] Step S53: Determine whether there are mosquitoes in the environment; if yes, proceed to step S54; if no, proceed to step S55.

[0091] Step S54: Issue a prompt message;

[0092] Step S55: Send a closing action command to the smart mosquito net.

[0093] In some embodiments, the step of obtaining the sleep status of all people inside a smart mosquito net may specifically include:

[0094] Acquire human physiological parameters of each person inside the smart mosquito net; and

[0095] The sleep state of a person is determined based on the physiological parameters of each individual.

[0096] Specifically, human physiological parameters can be acquired and sent to the air conditioner through the user's smart wearable device, or they can be acquired directly through radar or other feasible methods.

[0097] In some embodiments, the retraction state of the smart mosquito net also includes a fully retracted state. It is understood that a fully retracted state of the smart mosquito net means that the smart mosquito net is in a non-use state.

[0098] In these embodiments, the control method of the present invention further includes:

[0099] Get the current time when the smart mosquito net is fully retracted; and

[0100] When the current time falls within the second preset time range, the system selectively sends an unfolding command to the smart mosquito net based on the sleep status of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net, instructing it to unfold automatically.

[0101] This invention also selectively sends an unfolding command to the smart mosquito net when it is fully retracted and within a second preset time range, based on the sleep state of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net. This selectively instructs the mosquito net to unfold automatically, cleverly utilizing the air conditioner's built-in function of recognizing human sleep states. The smart mosquito net unfolds intelligently without requiring the user to manually send an unfolding command, resulting in a high degree of intelligence and preventing users from being bitten because they forget to unfold the smart mosquito net before going to sleep.

[0102] This invention utilizes the human sleep state recognition function inherent in air conditioners to match the opening and closing state of smart mosquito nets with the user's sleep state, maximizing the functionality of both the air conditioner and the smart mosquito net, forming a more effective smart room system and providing a better intelligent experience for the user.

[0103] Specifically, specifically, Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioner control method according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. See also Figure 4 The control method for the air conditioner of the present invention includes:

[0104] Step S10: Obtain the unfolding and retraction status of the smart mosquito net; the unfolding and retraction status of the smart mosquito net includes at least the fully unfolded state and the fully retracted state.

[0105] Step S20: Determine whether the smart mosquito net is fully extended; if yes, proceed to step S30; if no, proceed to step S60.

[0106] Step S30, obtain the current time; and

[0107] Step S40: Determine whether the current time is within the first preset time range; if yes, proceed to step S50; if no, return to continue the determination.

[0108] Step S50: Selectively send a closing action command to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to automatically retract based on the sleeping state of the human body inside the smart mosquito net.

[0109] Step S60: Determine whether the smart mosquito net is in a fully retracted state; if so, proceed to step S70.

[0110] Step S70, obtain the current time; and

[0111] Step S80: Determine whether the current time is within the second preset time range; if yes, proceed to step S90; if no, return to continue the determination.

[0112] Step S90: Selectively send an unfolding action command to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to unfold automatically, based on the sleep status of the people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net.

[0113] In some embodiments, the aforementioned second preset time range can be from 9 PM to 1 AM. This time range includes the time when most users fall asleep. Detecting whether at least one person is in a deep sleep state within a preset area around the smart mosquito net within this time range yields more accurate results and better reflects reality.

[0114] In some embodiments, the step of selectively sending an unfolding command to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to unfold automatically based on the sleep state of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net may specifically include:

[0115] Acquire the sleep status of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net;

[0116] If at least one person within a preset range around the smart mosquito net is in a deep sleep state, a command to deploy the smart mosquito net is sent.

[0117] Multiple people may be inside a smart mosquito net, each with a different sleep time; for example, children typically fall asleep earlier. This invention sends an unfolding command to the smart mosquito net only when at least one person is in a deep sleep, instructing it to unfold automatically. This provides better protection for each user inside the smart mosquito net from mosquito bites, and also avoids the problem of users forgetting to unfold the smart mosquito net or not knowing how to operate it, resulting in mosquito bites.

[0118] Specifically, specifically, Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioner control method according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 5 The control method for the air conditioner of the present invention includes:

[0119] Step S10: Obtain the unfolding and retraction status of the smart mosquito net; the unfolding and retraction status of the smart mosquito net includes at least the fully unfolded state and the fully retracted state.

[0120] Step S20: Determine whether the smart mosquito net is fully extended; if yes, proceed to step S30; if no, proceed to step S60.

[0121] Step S30, obtain the current time; and

[0122] Step S40: Determine whether the current time is within the first preset time range; if yes, proceed to step S50; if no, return to continue the determination.

[0123] Step S50: Selectively send a closing action command to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to automatically retract based on the sleeping state of the human body inside the smart mosquito net.

[0124] Step S60: Determine whether the smart mosquito net is in a fully retracted state; if so, proceed to step S70.

[0125] Step S70, obtain the current time; and

[0126] Step S80: Determine whether the current time is within the second preset time range; if yes, proceed to step S90; if no, return to continue the determination.

[0127] Step S91: Obtain the sleep status of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net;

[0128] Step S92: Determine whether there is at least one human being in a deep sleep state within a preset range around the smart mosquito net; if yes, proceed to step S93; if no, return to step S91.

[0129] Step S93: Send an unfolding command to the smart mosquito net.

[0130] In other embodiments, the step of selectively sending an unfolding command to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to unfold automatically, based on the sleep state of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net, may specifically include:

[0131] Acquire the sleep status of people within a preset range around the smart mosquito net;

[0132] If at least one person within a preset range around the smart mosquito net is in a deep sleep state, then the system detects whether mosquitoes are present within the preset range around the smart mosquito net; and

[0133] If there are no mosquitoes within the preset area around the smart mosquito net, a command to unfold the mosquito net is sent.

[0134] Unlike the previous embodiment, in this embodiment, when at least one human being within a preset range around the smart mosquito net is asleep, it is also necessary to determine whether there are mosquitoes in the preset space around the smart mosquito net. Only when there are no mosquitoes in the preset range will an unfolding action command be sent to the smart mosquito net to instruct it to unfold automatically, so as to avoid trapping mosquitoes inside the smart mosquito net when it unfolds, causing the user to be bitten by mosquitoes.

[0135] Furthermore, if mosquitoes are present within a preset range around the smart mosquito net, a notification message will be issued to indicate the presence of mosquitoes within that range, so that users can kill the mosquitoes in time and avoid being bitten.

[0136] It should be noted that the preset range around the smart mosquito net can be the area of ​​the bed that the smart mosquito net can cover.

[0137] The present invention also provides an air conditioner that is communicatively connected to an intelligent mosquito net located in the same environmental space. Figure 6 This is a schematic structural block diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. See also: Figure 6 The air conditioner 1 includes a control device 20, which includes a processor 21 and a memory 22. The memory 22 stores a machine-executable program 23, and when the machine-executable program 23 is executed by the processor 21, it is used to implement the control method described in any of the above embodiments.
