It is to be understood that the use of data herein is not per se a limitation, but that embodiments of the application described herein can be practiced in other sequences, except where expressly provided otherwise. Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", and the like, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that any process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of steps or units can not necessarily be limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but can include other steps or units not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0024] The application provides an air conditioner control method.
[0025] Figure 1 The application provides an air conditioner control method.
[0026] As shown in the figure, according to an embodiment of the application, the control method comprises at least steps S110, S120 and S130. Figure 1
[0027] Step S110: When it is identified that a user enters a second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located from a first indoor sub-space and stays in the second indoor sub-space for more than a preset time, the first space size of the first indoor sub-space and the first environmental parameter of the first indoor sub-space before the user leaves are acquired.
[0028] The air conditioner is any one of the devices in a device network comprising at least two air conditioners. The first indoor sub-space and the second indoor sub-space are sub-spaces in the same indoor space. The environmental space where the first indoor sub-space and the second indoor sub-space are located comprises two or more indoor sub-spaces, and one air conditioner is arranged in each indoor sub-space. For example, different rooms (e.g. a living room, a bedroom, a study, etc.) in the same house, each of which is provided with an air conditioner. In addition to the air conditioner, other devices such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, a television, etc. can also be included. The device network can be a network formed by devices in the same indoor space, for example, a network formed by devices in the same family (the same house).
[0029] Each device in the device network is connected to other devices in the device network through WiFi P2P or Bluetooth, thereby forming a wireless mesh network (e.g. a Bluetooth Mesh network).
[0030] In a specific embodiment, the user is identified to enter a second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located from a first indoor sub-space by collecting and processing the wireless signals in the wireless mesh network. For example, the wireless signals in the wireless mesh network are collected by sensors when the user moves in the wireless mesh network, so that the moving track of the user is identified by processing and analyzing the wireless signals. The sensors can be arranged on the air conditioner.
[0031] For example, a wireless mesh network is formed by Bluetooth networking, and the target moves in the network to have certain influence on the signal. The signal feature information is filtered and processed to remove redundancy, and the interference of the signal propagation path is analyzed and identified, so that the position information of the target is calculated and analyzed. For example, there are five space areas of living room, bedroom 1, bedroom 2, study and kitchen, and air conditioners are installed in each space area. The air conditioners form a local wireless LAN by Bluetooth networking. When the user moves from the living room to the bedroom 1, the device sensor identifies that the target moves in the local network to have certain interference on the signal. The signal information is collected, processed, and analyzed to identify the interference on the signal propagation path, and the moving track of the target is calculated and analyzed. The bedroom 1 air conditioner identifies that the user moves from the living room to the room, and the last position information of the user is in the living room.
[0032] When the user is identified to enter the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located from the first indoor sub-space, and the staying time in the second indoor sub-space exceeds the preset time, the first space size of the first indoor sub-space and the first environmental parameter of the first indoor sub-space before the user leaves are obtained. For example, the user enters the room B from the room A, and the target is tracked across the border by the indoor positioning technology. It is detected that the position information of the user changes for a certain time, and it is identified that the user comes from the room A. At this time, the air conditioner in the room B obtains the environmental temperature and the space size of the room A. The first space size of the first indoor sub-space and the second space size (room size) of the second indoor sub-space can be measured by a TOF sensor, or the room size can be stored in advance.
[0033] The air conditioner and each air conditioner in the device network mainly include a master control unit, a WiFi and / or Bluetooth communication module. The master control unit is mainly responsible for logical operation, scheduling control, etc.; the WiFi and / or Bluetooth communication module is responsible for network connection, Bluetooth mesh networking communication, communication with the intelligent terminal, etc.
[0034] In step S120, the first space size and the first environmental parameter obtained, and the second space size of the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located and the current second environmental parameter are used to determine the first running parameter and the first running time required for the second indoor sub-space to reach the first environmental parameter from the current second environmental parameter after the air conditioner is turned on and operated.
[0035] The first space size and the first environment parameter obtained are input into a pre-trained neural network model, and a second space size of a second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located and a current second environment parameter are input into the pre-trained neural network model, and an operation parameter that makes a required time of the second indoor sub-space from the current second environment parameter to the first environment parameter shortest is output as the first operation parameter, and the shortest required time of the second indoor sub-space from the current second environment parameter to the first environment parameter is output as the first operation time.
[0036] The neural network model is used to obtain an operation parameter that makes a required time of an environment parameter of a target space to a target environment parameter shortest and the shortest required time of the environment parameter of the target space to the target environment parameter. Input data of the neural network model are a space size of the target space, a current environment parameter of the target space, and the target environment parameter. That is, the first space size and the first environment parameter are input, and a second space size of a second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located and a current second environment parameter are input, and an operation parameter that makes a required time of the second indoor sub-space from the current second environment parameter to the first environment parameter shortest and the shortest required time of the second indoor sub-space from the current second environment parameter to the first environment parameter after the air conditioner is started to operate are output. The first environment parameter may, for example, include an environment temperature and / or an environment humidity. The first operation parameter may, for example, include at least one of a compressor frequency, a set temperature, and a set wind speed.
[0037] The neural network model may specifically be a deep learning neural network model, and is an AI model obtained through a large amount of data set (the data set contains current temperature, current space size, target temperature, and the like) training and big data analysis of a large amount of user usage habits. Different device operation adjustment parameters and execution time lengths can be obtained by the AI model according to different data sets. For example, a current temperature is T1, an environment space is F, and a target temperature is T. The above data are input into an algorithm model, and the AI algorithm model analyzes and identifies required air conditioner operation parameters (for example, a compressor frequency, a temperature, a wind speed, and the like) and the shortest operation time under the shortest operation time. For example, a room with a size of 15 square meters is required to adjust an indoor temperature from 30℃ to 26℃, and required temperature and wind speed of the air conditioner operation and required operation time are required.
[0038] In step S130, the air conditioner is controlled to operate for the first operation time according to the determined first operation parameter, so that the second indoor sub-space is from the current second environment parameter to the first environment parameter.
[0039] Specifically, after the second indoor sub-space reaches the first environment parameter from the current second environment parameter by the first operation parameter and the first operation time, if the air conditioner is not turned on, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned on, and the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the first operation parameter for the first operation time, so that the current second environment parameter of the second indoor sub-space reaches the first environment parameter.
[0040] Figure 2 is a method schematic diagram of another embodiment of the air conditioner control method provided by the application.
[0041] As Figure 2 shown, based on the above embodiment, the method further comprises step S140.
[0042] Step S140, after the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the determined first operation parameter for the first operation time, the air conditioner is controlled to continue to operate with the second environment parameter as the target environment parameter, or according to the operation parameter of the air conditioner in the first indoor sub-space before the user leaves the first indoor sub-space.
[0043] Specifically, in order to make the second indoor sub-space reach the first environment parameter from the current second environment parameter at the fastest speed, the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the first operation parameter for the first operation time, and when the environment parameter of the second indoor sub-space reaches the first environment parameter, the air conditioner can no longer operate according to the first operation parameter, and can be controlled to continue to operate with the second environment parameter as the target environment parameter, for example, when the second environment parameter comprises the environment temperature and / or the environment humidity, the air conditioner can be operated with the target temperature and / or the target humidity as the target temperature and / or the target humidity; or can be operated according to the operation parameter of the air conditioner in the first indoor sub-space before the user leaves the first indoor sub-space, for example, according to the compressor frequency, the fan speed, the target temperature and / or the target humidity before the user leaves the first indoor sub-space.
[0044] Optionally, when it is identified that the user leaves the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located, and the leaving time exceeds the preset time, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned off. For example, it is identified that the user has left the current room for 10 minutes, and then the air conditioner is turned off to save electric energy. Similarly, when the user leaves the previous indoor sub-space (i.e. the first indoor sub-space), and the leaving time exceeds the preset time, the air conditioner in the first indoor sub-space will also be automatically turned off to save electric energy.
[0045] To clearly illustrate the technical scheme of the application, the execution process of the air conditioner control method provided by the application is described below with one specific embodiment.
[0046] Figure 3is a method schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the air conditioner control method provided by the application. As shown in Figure 3 The mesh networking and target positioning of the home smart device detect the change of the user position information, the networking air conditioner detects that the user position information changes for a period of time, analyzes and identifies that the user enters the current indoor sub-space from the previous indoor sub-space, obtains the environmental parameters of the previous indoor sub-space, intelligently analyzes the required running parameters and time of the current indoor sub-space environment to reach the previous indoor sub-space environment when the current indoor sub-space is running, controls the running according to the analysis result, and makes the running parameters consistent with the previous environmental comfort.
[0047] For example, the user enters from room A to room B, the indoor positioning technology is used to track the target across the border, it is detected that the user position information changes for a period of time, and it is judged and identified that the user comes from room A. At this time, the air conditioner in room B obtains the environmental temperature and space size of room A before crossing the border, and the environmental temperature and space size of room B, and performs edge algorithm intelligent analysis according to the information, obtains the required running parameters and running time of the environmental temperature of room B to reach the environmental temperature of room A, executes air conditioner parameter adjustment according to the analyzed result, intelligently adjusts the air conditioner running parameters of the cross-border area, quickly realizes the comfort degree of the cross-border area, finally keeps consistent with the environmental comfort parameters of room A, and the air conditioner in room A is closed.
[0048] Figure 4 is a structure block diagram of an embodiment of the air conditioner control device provided by the application. As shown in Figure 4 The air conditioner control device 100 comprises an identification unit 110, an acquisition unit 120, a determination unit 130 and a control unit 140.
[0049] The identification unit 110 is used for identifying that the user enters the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located from the first indoor sub-space; the acquisition unit 120 is used for acquiring the first space size of the first indoor sub-space and the first environmental parameters of the first indoor sub-space before the user leaves when the identification unit 110 identifies that the user enters the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located from the first indoor sub-space and the staying time in the second indoor sub-space exceeds the preset time.
[0050] The air conditioner belongs to any air conditioner in a device network including at least two air conditioners. The first indoor sub-space and the second indoor sub-space are sub-spaces in the same indoor space. The environment space to which the first indoor sub-space and the second indoor sub-space belong includes two or more indoor sub-spaces, and one air conditioner is arranged in each indoor sub-space. For example, different rooms (e.g., a living room, a bedroom, a study, etc.) in the same house are provided with air conditioners, and in addition to the air conditioners, other devices such as a refrigerator, a washing machine, and a television can also be included. The device network can be a network formed by devices in the same indoor space, for example, a network formed by devices in the same family (the same house).
[0051] Each device in the device network is connected to other devices in the device network through a WiFi P2P mode or a Bluetooth mode, so as to form a wireless mesh network (e.g., a Bluetooth Mesh network).
[0052] In a specific implementation, the identification unit 110 identifies that the user enters the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner belongs from the first indoor sub-space by collecting and processing wireless signals in the wireless mesh network. For example, a sensor is arranged on the air conditioner, and the sensor collects wireless signals in the wireless mesh network when the user moves in the wireless mesh network, so as to identify the moving track of the user by processing and analyzing the wireless signals.
[0053] For example, a wireless mesh network is formed by a Bluetooth indoor positioning technology, a target moves in the network and has a certain influence on signals, signal characteristic information is filtered and processed to remove redundancy, and interference on a signal propagation path is analyzed and identified, so as to calculate and analyze the change of position information of the target. For example, there are five space regions of a living room, a bedroom 1, a bedroom 2, a study, and a kitchen, and air conditioners are arranged in the space regions. The air conditioners form a local wireless local area network by Bluetooth networking. When the user moves from the living room to the bedroom 1, a device sensor identifies that the target moves in the local network and has a certain interference on signals, collects and processes signal information, analyzes and identifies interference on a signal propagation path, calculates and analyzes the moving track of the target, and the bedroom 1 air conditioner identifies that the user moves from the living room to the bedroom 1, that is, the last position information of the user is in the living room.
[0054] When the identification unit 110 identifies that a user has entered the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located from the first indoor sub-space and the user stays in the second indoor sub-space for more than a preset time, the acquisition unit 120 acquires the first space size of the first indoor sub-space and the first environmental parameters of the first indoor sub-space before the user leaves. For example, if a user enters room B from room A, and the system uses indoor positioning technology to track the target across borders, detects a change in the user's location information for a certain period of time, and determines that the user came from room A, the air conditioner in room B acquires the ambient temperature and space size of room A. The first space size of the first indoor sub-space and the second space size of the second indoor sub-space (room size) can be measured by a TOF sensor or the room size can be pre-stored.
[0055] Each air conditioner in the network and the associated equipment mainly includes a main control unit and a WiFi and / or Bluetooth communication module. The main control unit is mainly responsible for logic operations, scheduling and control, etc.; the WiFi and / or Bluetooth communication module is responsible for network connection, Bluetooth mesh networking communication, and communication with smart terminals, etc.
[0056] The determining unit 130 is used to determine, based on the first space size and the first environmental parameters obtained by the obtaining unit 120, and the second space size and the current second environmental parameters of the second indoor subspace where the air conditioner is located, the first operating parameters and the first operating time required for the second indoor subspace to reach the first environmental parameters from the current second environmental parameters after the air conditioner is turned on.
[0057] The determining unit 130 inputs the first space size and the first environmental parameter obtained by the acquiring unit 120, as well as the second space size and the current second environmental parameter of the second indoor subspace where the air conditioner is located, into a pre-trained neural network model, and outputs the operating parameter that minimizes the time required for the second indoor subspace to reach the first environmental parameter from the current second environmental parameter as the first operating parameter, and the shortest time required for the second indoor subspace to reach the first environmental parameter from the current second environmental parameter as the first operating time.
[0058] The neural network model is used to obtain the operation parameter and the shortest time required for the environment parameter of the target space to reach the target environment parameter. The input data of the neural network model are the space size of the target space, the current environment parameter of the target space, and the target environment parameter. That is, the first space size and the first environment parameter are input, and the second space size and the current second environment parameter of the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located are input, and the operation parameter and the shortest time required for the second indoor sub-space to reach the first environment parameter from the current second environment parameter after the air conditioner is started are output. The first environment parameter may include, for example, the environment temperature and / or the environment humidity. The first operation parameter may include, for example, at least one of the compressor frequency, the set temperature, and the set air speed.
[0059] The neural network model may be a deep learning neural network model, which is an AI model obtained through training of a large amount of data sets (the data sets include current temperature, current space size, target temperature, and the like) and big data analysis of a large amount of user usage habits. The AI model can analyze and identify different device operation adjustment parameters and execution time according to different data sets. For example, when the current temperature is T1, the environment space is F, and the target temperature is T, the AI algorithm model can analyze and identify the required air conditioner operation parameters (for example, the compressor frequency, the temperature, the air speed, and the like) and the shortest operation time under the condition of the shortest operation time by taking the above data as the input of the algorithm model. For example, when the room size is 15 square meters and the indoor temperature is to be adjusted from 30 DEG C to 26 DEG C, the required air conditioner operation temperature, air speed, and operation time are determined.
[0060] The control unit 140 is configured to control the air conditioner to operate for the first operation time according to the first operation parameter determined by the determination unit 130, so that the second indoor sub-space reaches the first environment parameter from the current second environment parameter.
[0061] Specifically, after the first operation parameter and the first operation time required for the second indoor sub-space to reach the first environment parameter from the current second environment parameter after the air conditioner is started are obtained, if the air conditioner is not started, the control unit 140 controls the air conditioner to be started, and controls the air conditioner to operate for the first operation time according to the first operation parameter, so that the second indoor sub-space reaches the first environment parameter from the current second environment parameter.
[0062] According to another embodiment of the present application, based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the control unit 140 is further configured to: after the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the first operating parameter for the first operating time, control the air conditioner to continue operating with the second environmental parameter as the target environmental parameter, or continue operating according to the operating parameter of the air conditioner in the first indoor sub-space before the user leaves the first indoor sub-space.
[0063] Specifically, in order to make the second indoor sub-space reach the first environmental parameter from the current second environmental parameter at the fastest speed, the control unit 140 controls the air conditioner to operate according to the first operating parameter for the first operating time, and when the environmental parameter of the second indoor sub-space reaches the first environmental parameter, the air conditioner can no longer operate according to the first operating parameter. The control unit 140 can control the air conditioner to continue operating with the second environmental parameter as the target environmental parameter, for example, when the second environmental parameter includes the environmental temperature and / or the environmental humidity, the air conditioner can be operated as the target temperature and / or the target humidity; or the control unit 140 can operate according to the operating parameter of the air conditioner in the first indoor sub-space before the user leaves the first indoor sub-space, for example, operate according to the compressor frequency, the fan speed, the target temperature and / or the target humidity before the user leaves the first indoor sub-space.
[0064] Optionally, the identification unit 110 is further configured to identify that the user has left the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located, and the control unit 140 is further configured to control the air conditioner to be turned off when the identification unit identifies that the user has left the second indoor sub-space where the air conditioner is located and the leaving time exceeds a preset time.
