[0038] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation scenario of a control method of an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0039] In combination Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the user wears a first smart device 11 capable of obtaining the user's location, and also wears a second smart device 12 capable of obtaining relevant parameters for determining the user's motion intensity.

[0040] A smart air conditioner 14 capable of adjusting the indoor temperature at the destination is installed at the destination 13, and a positioning device 15 capable of obtaining the location of the destination is also installed at the destination 13. The destination 13 can be the user's residence or the user's office.

[0041] The first smart device 11 and the second smart device 12 can be independent of each other, or can be integrated into one smart device, such as a smart bracelet, a smart watch, etc.

[0042] The positioning device 15 and the smart air conditioner 14 can be independently arranged, or the positioning device 15 can be integrated inside the smart air conditioner 14.

[0043] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present application. The control method of the air conditioner can be implemented in a controller of the air conditioner, and in the application scenario of a smart home, the control method of the air conditioner can also be implemented in a server.

[0044] In combination Figure 2 The control method of the air conditioner includes the following steps.

[0045] S201, in the process of the user approaching the destination, a first time length required for the user to arrive at the destination from the current time is obtained.

[0046] The first time length required for the user to arrive at the destination from the current time can be obtained in the following manner: the average speed of the user is obtained; the current distance between the current location of the user and the location of the destination is obtained; and the first time length is determined according to the current distance and the average speed.

[0047] Further, obtaining the average speed of the user can include: periodically obtaining the user's location, calculating the user's speed in one period based on two user locations adjacent in time, and obtaining the average speed of the user according to the user's speed in multiple periods.

[0048] For example, the user's location is obtained every 5s, and the user's location and its corresponding time of obtaining can be as shown in Table 1:

[0049] Table 1 correspondence table of user's location and its corresponding time of obtaining

[0050] T T+5s T+10s T+15s T+20s … X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 …

[0051] The user speed in each cycle is respectively:

[0052] V1 = (X2 - X1) / 5;

[0053] V2 = (X3 - X2) / 5;

[0054] V3 = (X4 - X3) / 5;

[0055] V4 = (X5 - X4) / 5;

[0056] …

[0057] The average speed of the user is obtained according to V1, V2, V3, V4…

[0058] The average speed of the user can be obtained by calculating the average value of V1, V2, V3, V4…

[0059] Alternatively, the time interval of each cycle and the current time is obtained, the user speed of each cycle is weighted according to the time interval, the weight is inversely related to the time interval, and the average speed of the user is obtained according to the weighted average of the user speed of multiple cycles.

[0060] The above is the user speed obtained by taking 5s as a cycle. The cycle of 5s is only exemplary and does not constitute a substantial limitation on the cycle in the present application. Those skilled in the art can determine a suitable cycle according to actual conditions.

[0061] S202, obtaining the current exercise intensity of the user.

[0062] The current exercise intensity of the user can be obtained by: obtaining the current heart rate of the user; and determining the current exercise intensity corresponding to the current heart rate according to the corresponding relationship between heart rate and exercise intensity.

[0063] The corresponding relationship between heart rate and exercise intensity can be a one-to-one correspondence between heart rate and exercise intensity, and the heart rate is positively correlated with the exercise intensity. After obtaining the current heart rate, the current exercise intensity corresponding to the current heart rate can be obtained based on the one-to-one correspondence between heart rate and exercise intensity.

[0064] Alternatively, the corresponding relationship between heart rate and exercise intensity can be a corresponding relationship between a heart rate interval and an exercise intensity interval.

[0065] For example, the first heart rate interval [60, 100] corresponds to the exercise intensity E1, the second heart rate interval (100, 130] corresponds to the exercise intensity E2, and the third heart rate interval (130, 150] corresponds to the exercise intensity E3. Among them, the exercise intensity E3 is higher than the exercise intensity E2, and the exercise intensity E2 is higher than the exercise intensity E1.

[0066] In this way, according to the correspondence between the heart rate and the exercise intensity, the current exercise intensity corresponding to the current heart rate is determined. Specifically, if the current heart rate belongs to the first heart rate interval, the current exercise intensity is the exercise intensity E1; if the current heart rate belongs to the second heart rate interval, the current exercise intensity is the exercise intensity E2; and if the current heart rate belongs to the third heart rate interval, the current exercise intensity is the exercise intensity E3.

[0067] S203, determine the current set temperature according to the current exercise intensity.

[0068] The exercise intensity and the set temperature have a corresponding relationship, which is used to represent that under the exercise intensity, the user is easy to feel comfortable with the set temperature.

[0069] The higher the exercise intensity, the lower the set temperature.

[0070] In the case where the correspondence between the heart rate and the exercise intensity is a one-to-one correspondence, the correspondence between the set temperature and the exercise intensity is also a one-to-one correspondence. After obtaining the current exercise intensity, the current set temperature corresponding to the current exercise intensity can be determined based on the one-to-one correspondence between the set temperature and the exercise intensity.

[0071] In the case where the correspondence between the heart rate and the exercise intensity is the correspondence between the heart rate interval and the exercise intensity interval, the correspondence between the set temperature and the exercise intensity interval is the correspondence between the set temperature and the exercise intensity interval. After obtaining the current exercise intensity, the current set temperature corresponding to the current exercise intensity can be obtained based on the correspondence between the set temperature and the exercise intensity interval.

[0072] For example, in the cooling mode, the set temperature corresponding to the exercise intensity E1 is 25℃, the set temperature corresponding to the exercise intensity E2 is 24℃, and the set temperature corresponding to the exercise intensity E3 is 23℃.

[0073] Further, if the current exercise intensity is E1, the current set temperature is 25℃; if the current exercise intensity is E2, the current set temperature is 24℃; and if the current exercise intensity is E3, the current set temperature is 23℃.

[0074] In the heating mode, the set temperature can be 26℃.

[0075] The specific set temperature corresponding to the above motion intensity is only exemplary. In different cases of user body states, the set temperature corresponding to the same motion intensity is also different. Those skilled in the art can determine the set temperature corresponding to each motion intensity according to the actual state of the user, and the set temperature meets the comfort needs of the user under the condition of meeting the health needs of the user.

[0076] S204, in the case that the second time length required for the current indoor temperature to reach the current set temperature meets the constraint condition of the first time length, controlling the air conditioner at the destination according to the current set temperature.

[0077] The confirmation that the second time length meets the constraint condition of the first time length includes:

[0078] Obtaining a time length difference between the first time length and the second time length, in the case that the time length difference is equal to a redundancy time threshold, determining that the second time length meets the constraint condition of the first time length; or in the case that the time length difference is switched from greater than the redundancy time threshold to less than the redundancy time threshold, determining that the second time length meets the constraint condition of the first time length.

[0079] The redundancy time threshold is used to represent the balance between energy saving and comfortable experience of the air conditioner. In an extreme case, the redundancy time threshold can be zero.

[0080] If the redundancy time threshold is too large, it is easy to cause the air conditioner to run for too long, causing power consumption; if the redundancy time threshold is too small, it is easy to cause the indoor temperature to not reach the current set temperature at the moment when the user reaches the destination.

[0081] Those skilled in the art can determine the redundancy time threshold according to the meaning of the redundancy time threshold and its specific role.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the current motion intensity of the user is obtained, and the current set temperature is determined according to the current motion intensity of the user. Before the user reaches the destination, the air conditioner is controlled based on the current set temperature, so that after the user reaches the destination, the indoor temperature reaches the current set temperature. In this way, the user can experience the indoor temperature corresponding to the motion intensity of the user, meet the temperature needs of different motion intensities of the user, and improve the user experience.

[0083] The second time length required for the current indoor temperature to reach the current set temperature is described below.

[0084] Optionally, the second time length required for the current indoor temperature to reach the current set temperature is determined by: obtaining historical running data of the air conditioner; determining a current indoor temperature-time length curve corresponding to the current set temperature according to a corresponding relationship between the set temperature and the indoor temperature-time length curve; and substituting the current indoor temperature into the current indoor temperature-time length curve to obtain the second time length. The determination of the corresponding relationship between the set temperature and the indoor temperature-time length curve includes: taking the indoor temperature and the time length required for the indoor temperature to reach the set temperature as variables, and determining the indoor temperature-time length curve corresponding to each set temperature according to the historical running data of the air conditioner.

[0085] The historical running data of the air conditioner records a plurality of set temperatures and the time length required for different indoor temperatures to reach the set temperature. As shown in Table 2:

[0086] Table 2 Set temperature-time length required for the indoor temperature to reach the set temperature Set temperature: 25°C (cooling)

[0087] Time required T11 T12 T13 … Indoor temperature 24℃ 25℃ 26℃ …

[0088] Set temperature: 24°C (cooling)

[0089] Time required T21 T22 T23 … Indoor temperature 24℃ 25℃ 26℃ …

[0090] Set temperature: 23°C (cooling)

[0091] Time required T31 T32 T33 … Indoor temperature 24℃ 25℃ 26℃ …

[0092] Set temperature: 26°C (heating)

[0093] Time required T41 T42 T43 … Indoor temperature 24℃ 25℃ 26℃ …

[0094] The indoor temperature-time length curve can be expressed in the form of a formula and can also be expressed in the form of a neural network model. In the case where the indoor temperature-time length curve is expressed in the form of a formula, the process of determining the indoor temperature-time length curve corresponding to each set temperature according to the historical running data of the air conditioner with the indoor temperature and the time length required for the indoor temperature to reach the set temperature as variables is a formula fitting process; in the case where the indoor temperature-time length curve is expressed in the form of a neural network model, the process of determining the indoor temperature-time length curve corresponding to each set temperature according to the historical running data of the air conditioner with the indoor temperature and the time length required for the indoor temperature to reach the set temperature as variables is a neural network model training process.

[0095] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present application. The control method of the air conditioner can be implemented in a controller of the air conditioner, and in the application scenario of a smart home, the control method of the air conditioner can also be implemented in a server.

[0096] In conjunction with Figure 3 As shown in the control method of the air conditioner comprises:

[0097] S301, in the process of approaching the destination of the user, obtaining the first duration required by the user from the current time to reach the destination.

[0098] S302, obtaining the current heart rate of the user.

[0099] S303, according to the corresponding relationship between heart rate and exercise intensity, determining the current exercise intensity corresponding to the current heart rate.

[0100] S304, obtaining the exercise intensity influence coefficient corresponding to the current indoor temperature.

[0101] S305, correcting the current exercise intensity according to the exercise intensity influence coefficient to obtain the corrected exercise intensity.

[0102] Among them, the corrected exercise intensity is lower than the current exercise intensity.

[0103] The current exercise intensity can be corrected in the following ways:

[0104] The current exercise intensity is subtracted by the exercise intensity influence coefficient to obtain the corrected exercise intensity; correspondingly, the indoor temperature and the exercise intensity influence coefficient are positively correlated.

[0105] Or,

[0106] The current heart rate is subtracted by the exercise intensity influence coefficient to obtain the corrected heart rate, and then according to the corresponding relationship between the heart rate and the exercise intensity, the corrected exercise intensity corresponding to the corrected heart rate is obtained; correspondingly, the indoor temperature and the exercise intensity influence coefficient are positively correlated.

[0107] S306, determining the current set temperature according to the corrected exercise intensity.

[0108] S307, in the case that the second duration required for the current indoor temperature to reach the current set temperature meets the constraint condition of the first duration, controlling the air conditioner at the destination according to the current set temperature.

[0109] Before controlling the air conditioner at the destination according to the current set temperature, the air conditioner at the destination is not in working state, and after controlling the air conditioner at the destination according to the current set temperature, the set temperature of the air conditioner is no longer updated.

[0110] By adopting the above technical scheme, a more accurate current set temperature can be obtained, and a more comfortable temperature experience can be provided for the user.

[0111] In the technical solution, since the air conditioner at the destination is not in operation before the air conditioner at the destination is controlled according to the current setting temperature, the main factor affecting the indoor temperature is heat exchange between the indoor and outdoor environments, and therefore the indoor temperature has a certain positive correlation with the outdoor temperature. In addition, the human heart rate is related to the environmental temperature (outdoor temperature), and therefore the higher the indoor temperature, the higher the heart rate, and the lower the indoor temperature, the lower the heart rate.

[0112] In the process of obtaining the current exercise intensity by using the current heart rate, the exercise intensity influence coefficient corresponding to the current indoor temperature is used to reduce the current exercise intensity obtained according to the current heart rate, to obtain a corrected exercise intensity, so as to reduce the influence of the environmental temperature on the corrected exercise intensity, and further to obtain a current setting temperature more suitable for the actual state of the user. After the air conditioner at the destination is controlled according to the current setting temperature, the setting temperature of the air conditioner is no longer updated, and when the user reaches the air conditioner environment at the destination, the air conditioner can adjust the indoor temperature to the current setting temperature.

[0113] On this basis, the corrected exercise intensity is low, and the corresponding current setting temperature is high. In the refrigeration process, the temperature difference between the current setting temperature and the outdoor temperature is easily reduced, and after the user enters the air conditioner environment from a non-air conditioner environment, the sudden change of the environmental temperature is reduced, and the user's experience is improved.

[0114] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present application. The control method of the air conditioner can be implemented in a controller of the air conditioner, and in the application scenario of a smart home, the control method of the air conditioner can also be implemented in a server.

[0115] In combination with FIG. 1, the control method of the air conditioner includes the following steps. Figure 4

[0116] S401, in a process in which a user approaches a destination, a first time length required for the user to reach the destination from a current time is obtained.

[0117] S402, a current heart rate of the user is obtained.

[0118] S403, a current exercise intensity corresponding to the current heart rate is determined according to a corresponding relationship between the heart rate and the exercise intensity.

[0119] S404, an initial setting temperature corresponding to the current exercise intensity is determined according to a corresponding relationship between the exercise intensity and the setting temperature.

[0120] S405, a setting temperature influence coefficient corresponding to a current indoor temperature is obtained.

[0121] ​S406. Increase the initial set temperature according to the set temperature influence coefficient, and take the increased initial set temperature as the current set temperature.

[0122] The current indoor temperature is positively correlated with the set temperature influence coefficient, and the greater the set temperature influence coefficient, the greater the degree of increase of the initial set temperature.

[0123] S407. Control the air conditioner at the destination according to the current set temperature in a case where a second time length required for the current indoor temperature to reach the current set temperature satisfies a constraint condition of the first time length.

[0124] Before the air conditioner at the destination is controlled according to the current set temperature, the air conditioner at the destination is not in a working state, and after the air conditioner at the destination is controlled according to the current set temperature, the set temperature of the air conditioner is no longer updated.

[0125] By using the above technical solution, a more accurate current set temperature can be obtained, and a more comfortable temperature experience can be provided for a user.

[0126] In the above technical solution, because the air conditioner at the destination is not in a working state before the air conditioner at the destination is controlled according to the current set temperature, the main factor affecting the indoor temperature is heat exchange between the indoor and outdoor, and therefore the indoor temperature is positively correlated with the outdoor temperature. In addition, the heart rate of a human body is correlated with the environmental temperature (outdoor temperature), and therefore the higher the indoor temperature, the higher the heart rate, and the lower the indoor temperature, the lower the heart rate.

[0127] After the current exercise intensity is determined by using the current heart rate, and the initial set temperature is determined according to the current exercise intensity, the set temperature influence coefficient corresponding to the current indoor temperature is obtained, and the initial set temperature is increased by using the set temperature influence coefficient, so as to reduce the influence of the environmental temperature on the heart rate, and further reduce the influence of the environmental temperature on the set temperature, which is finally beneficial to obtaining a current set temperature more suitable for the actual state of a user. After the air conditioner at the destination is controlled according to the current set temperature, the set temperature of the air conditioner is no longer updated, and when the user reaches the air conditioner environment at the destination, the air conditioner can adjust the indoor temperature to the current set temperature.

[0128] On this basis, the current set temperature is higher than the initial set temperature, and in the refrigeration process, the temperature difference between the current set temperature and the outdoor temperature is easily reduced, and after the user enters the air conditioner environment from a non-air conditioner environment, the uncomfortable experience caused by the sudden change of the environmental temperature is reduced.

[0129] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present application. The control method of the air conditioner can be implemented in a controller of the air conditioner, and in an application scenario of a smart home, the control method of the air conditioner can also be implemented in a server.

[0130] In combination Figure 5 As shown in the accompanying drawings, the control method of the air conditioner comprises:

[0131] S501, obtaining a first duration required for the user to reach the destination from a current time during the user approaching the destination.

[0132] In some specific application scenarios, if a current distance between the current location of the user and the destination location is less than or equal to a second set distance during the user approaching the destination, the first duration required for the user to reach the destination from the current time is obtained.

[0133] The second set distance can be 1 km, 2 km, 3 km, 4 km or a further distance. The duration required for the user to move the second set distance is greater than the duration required for the air conditioner to adjust the indoor temperature from the current indoor temperature to the current set temperature under the most unfavorable conditions.

[0134] The current distance between the current location of the user and the destination location being less than or equal to the second set distance can indicate that the user has the intention to reach the destination. For example, during the process of reaching the destination, the distance between the current user and the home being less than or equal to the second set distance can indicate that the user has the intention to return home.

[0135] In some specific application scenarios, the current moving track of the user is obtained; in a case where a current similarity between the current moving track and a preset moving track is greater than or equal to a set similarity, the first duration required for the user to reach the destination from the current time is obtained, wherein the preset moving track is a moving track of the user reaching the destination.

[0136] The current similarity between the current moving track and the preset moving track being greater than or equal to the set similarity is used to indicate that the two are highly coincident, and it can be determined that the current moving track will highly probably reproduce the preset moving track. The high coincidence between the two can indicate that the user has the intention to reach the destination, for example, during the process of reaching the destination, the current similarity between the current moving track and the preset moving track being greater than or equal to the set similarity can indicate that the user has the intention to return home.

[0137] S502, obtaining a current exercise intensity of the user.

[0138] S503, determining a current set temperature according to the current exercise intensity.
