Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart home appliance technology, such as an air conditioning method, device, and smart air conditioner for a learning and working environment. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional air conditioners lack the ability to recognize a user's learning or working state. When a user is in a learning or working state, they need to manually adjust the air conditioner to create a suitable environment. With the deepening research into the concept of smart homes, learning and working scenarios can be set up, and then the air conditioner and other air conditioning equipment can be controlled based on these scenarios. Other air conditioning equipment can include fresh air systems, air purifiers, etc.

[0003] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this application, at least the following problems were found in the related technology:

[0004] Existing learning and work scenarios focus on improving users' learning and work efficiency. However, users usually cannot study or work continuously for long periods of time. The environment that improves users' learning and work efficiency may conflict with users' actual situation, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0012] Optionally, determining whether the line-of-sight condition is met includes: obtaining the angle between the user's actual line-of-sight direction and the user's horizontal line-of-sight direction; if, up to the current moment, the third continuous duration of the state in which the line-of-sight angle is within a preset angle range is greater than or equal to a fifth preset duration, and / or, within the time period before the current moment, the third cumulative duration of the state in which the line-of-sight angle is within a preset angle range is greater than or equal to a sixth preset duration, and the sixth preset duration is greater than the fifth preset duration; then it is determined that the line-of-sight condition is met.

[0015] Optionally, determining the user's horizontal gaze direction includes: obtaining the facial midline of the current user's head model, obtaining the intersection point of the horizontal plane where the center position is located and the facial midline, and taking the direction from the center position to the intersection point as the user's horizontal gaze direction.

The air conditioning device is controlled according to a first control strategy corresponding to the learning and working scenario, including: determining a first set air volume based on a preset air volume, such that the first set air volume is less than or equal to the first preset air volume; in cooling mode, using a first comfortable temperature as the first set temperature; in heating mode, using a second comfortable temperature as the first set temperature; the first comfortable temperature being greater than the second comfortable temperature; and controlling the air conditioner based on the first set air volume and the first set temperature.

In this case, the air conditioner is controlled according to the first control strategy corresponding to the learning or working scenario. However, if the current user state is not learning or working, it means that the user's actual needs are not to improve learning or working efficiency. In this case, the first control strategy is adjusted to obtain a second control strategy corresponding to the current user state. The air conditioning equipment is then controlled according to the second control strategy to reduce the conflict between the environment created by the air conditioning equipment and the needs indicated by the current user state. This ensures that the environment created by the air conditioning equipment is adapted to the current user state in the learning or working scenario, thereby improving the user's comfort and health experience.

[0033] To provide a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of this application, the implementation of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. In the following technical description, for ease of explanation, several details are used to provide a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, one or more embodiments may still be implemented without these details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices may be simplified in their depiction to simplify the drawings.

[0034] The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0035] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0036] In this embodiment, the character " / " indicates that the objects before and after it are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0037] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0038] In a learning and working scenario, the air conditioning equipment is adjusted based on the user's state to balance the purpose of the learning and working scenario (e.g., to improve learning and working efficiency) with the needs corresponding to the current user state.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning method for a learning and working scenario provided in an embodiment of this application. This air conditioning method for a learning and working scenario can be executed in the controller of an air conditioning device. For example, if the air conditioning device is an air conditioner, it can be executed in the controller of the air conditioner (including a fresh air conditioner); if the air conditioning device is a fresh air unit, it can be executed in the controller of the fresh air unit. Alternatively, in a smart home control system, this air conditioning method for a learning and working scenario can be executed in the server of the smart home system.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, air conditioning methods for learning and working environments include:

[0041] S101. In a learning or working scenario, obtain the current user status.

[0042] The aforementioned learning and working scenarios include: control modes that are explicitly defined in air conditioning or other air conditioning equipment and are suitable for learning scenarios or working scenarios; or control modes that are not explicitly defined in air conditioning or other air conditioning equipment but are beneficial to improving users' learning efficiency and work efficiency.

[0043] The current user status can be either learning or working; or, the current user status can be either not learning or not working.

[0044] S102. When the current user state is a learning state or a working state, control the air conditioning equipment according to the first control strategy corresponding to the learning or working scenario.

[0045] The first control strategy is a control strategy corresponding to the learning and work scenarios, which is conducive to improving the user's learning efficiency or work efficiency.

[0046] For example, the first control strategy includes one or more first-set indoor environmental parameters that are beneficial to improving user learning or work efficiency. Controlling the air conditioning equipment based on these parameters can lower the indoor temperature, reduce indoor carbon dioxide levels, and decrease indoor noise, thereby improving user learning or work efficiency. The above description of the first control strategy is merely illustrative; those skilled in the art can, based on experience, set up first control strategies that are beneficial to improving user learning or work efficiency, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0047] S103. When the current user state is in an unlearned state or an unworking state, the first control strategy is adjusted to obtain a second control strategy corresponding to the current user state.

[0048] The second control strategy, also applicable to learning and work scenarios, is more effective than other comfortable environments in improving user learning or work efficiency. However, the degree to which the second control strategy enhances user learning or work efficiency is less than that of the first control strategy. In other words, the environment created by the air conditioning equipment controlled according to the second control strategy is less effective in matching the user's learning or work state than the environment created by the air conditioning equipment controlled according to the first control strategy.

[0049] The second control strategy is more effective than the first control strategy in improving user comfort. In other words, the environment created by the air conditioner controlled according to the second control strategy is more compatible with the user's untrained or non-working state than the environment created by the air conditioner controlled according to the first control strategy.

[0050] S104. Control the air conditioning equipment according to the second control strategy.

[0051] For example, the second control strategy includes one or more second set indoor environmental parameters that are beneficial to improving user comfort. Controlling the air conditioning equipment based on these parameters can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, noise level, humidity, etc. The above description of the second control strategy is merely illustrative; those skilled in the art can, based on experience, set second control strategies that are beneficial to improving user comfort, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0052] In a learning or working scenario, the current user state is obtained. If the current user state is either learning or working, it can be determined that the user's needs are consistent with the needs of the learning or working scenario, such as improving learning or working efficiency. In this case, the air conditioner is controlled according to the first control strategy corresponding to the learning or working scenario. However, if the current user state is not learning or working, it means that the user's actual needs are not to improve learning or working efficiency. In this case, the first control strategy is adjusted to obtain a second control strategy corresponding to the current user state. The air conditioning equipment is then controlled according to the second control strategy to reduce the conflict between the environment created by the air conditioning equipment and the needs indicated by the current user state. This ensures that the environment created by the air conditioning equipment is adapted to the current user state in the learning or working scenario, thereby improving the user's comfort and health experience.

[0053] The following is an example of how to obtain the current user status.

[0054] Optionally, obtaining the current user state includes: obtaining the user's current head model; if the current head model's action state satisfies the position condition and field of vision condition, or the position condition and gaze condition, or the position condition, field of vision condition and gaze condition, then the learning state or working state is taken as the current user state; if the current head model's action state satisfies the position condition but does not satisfy the field of vision condition and / or gaze condition, then the non-learning state or non-working state is taken as the current user state.

[0055] The user's current head model can be obtained through a millimeter-wave radar sensor; or, the user's current head model can be obtained through a depth sensor, such as a Time of Flight (TOF) sensor.

[0056] The above definition of "not learning" or "not working" as the current user state includes the following situations:

[0057] The current action state of the head model, which satisfies the position condition but not the field of view condition;

[0058] The current motion state of the head model, which satisfies the position condition but not the gaze condition;

[0059] The current motion state of the head model satisfies the positional condition but not the field of vision and line of sight conditions.

[0060] The following examples illustrate the user's actual line of sight and the user's horizontal line of sight.

[0061] Based on the outline of the current user's head model, determine the smallest circumcircle of the outline of the current user's head model, and take the center of the circumcircle as the center position of the current user's head model.

[0062] Given the current position of the nose tip in the user's head model, determining the user's actual gaze direction can include: obtaining the current position of the nose tip in the user's head model; and using the direction from the center position to the nose tip position as the user's actual gaze direction.

[0063] Determining the user's horizontal gaze direction can include: obtaining the facial midline of the current user's head model, obtaining the intersection point of the horizontal plane where the center position is located and the facial midline, and taking the direction from the center position to the intersection point as the user's horizontal gaze direction.

[0064] In the above embodiments, the methods for determining the user's actual line of sight and the method for determining the user's horizontal line of sight are illustrated by way of example. They are only used to more clearly explain the methods for determining the position conditions, the field of vision conditions, and the line of sight conditions. They do not constitute a substantial limitation on the methods for determining the user's actual line of sight and the method for determining the user's horizontal line of sight. Those skilled in the art can determine, based on experience, the methods for determining the user's actual line of sight and the method for determining the user's horizontal line of sight that meet actual needs.

[0065] Optionally, determining the location conditions includes:

[0066] Obtain the center position of the current user's head model;

[0067] If, up to the current moment, the first continuous duration of the state in which the center position moves less than or equal to a set distance is greater than or equal to a first set duration, and / or, within a time period before the current moment, the first cumulative duration of the state in which the center position moves less than or equal to a set distance is greater than or equal to a second set duration, and the second set duration is greater than the first set duration;

[0068] Then the position condition is satisfied.

[0069] The current time is defined as the end time of the first preset duration preceding the current time.

[0070] The distance between the center position and the set position can be used as the set distance. For example, the position of the chair next to the desk or study desk can be used as the set position; or the position of office supplies or study supplies in the desk or study desk can be used as the set position.

[0071] Alternatively, the center of all positions within the seventh set time period can be used as the set position.

[0072] The seventh setting duration is used to determine the setting position. The longer the seventh setting duration, the less likely the setting position is to change; the shorter the seventh setting duration, the less accurate the setting position. Therefore, those skilled in the art can balance the accuracy and adjustability of the setting position by experimentally obtaining the seventh setting duration.

[0073] This location condition is used to determine whether the user is in a learning or working environment. If the location condition is met, it means that the user is already in a learning or working environment. If the location condition is not met, it means that the user is not in a learning or working environment.

[0074] Those skilled in the art can determine a first or second set duration that conforms to the actual work or learning scenario based on the meaning of the location conditions.

[0075] Optionally, determining whether the field of view condition is met includes: obtaining the user's field of view; if, up to the current moment, the second continuous duration of the scene-related object within the user's field of view is greater than or equal to the third preset duration, and / or, within the time period before the current moment, the second cumulative duration of the scene-related object within the user's field of view is greater than or equal to the fourth preset duration, and the fourth preset duration is greater than the third preset duration; then it is determined that the field of view condition is met.

[0076] The current time is defined as the end time of the second preset duration preceding the current time.

[0077] Scene-related objects are items that users need to use in a learning or work scenario. Examples include computers and their peripherals, and books. Specific scene-related objects exist for each particular learning or work scenario, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0078] The third and fourth time settings also correspond to specific learning or work scenarios. For example, compared to the third or fourth time settings for a work scenario involving debugging equipment, the third or fourth time settings for a learning or work scenario that requires continuous monitoring of the monitor tend to be longer.

[0079] Those skilled in the art can set a third or fourth time limit that conforms to the actual situation, depending on the specific learning or work scenario.

[0080] The field of vision condition is used to determine whether the user's head movement is in a learning or working state. If the field of vision condition is met, the user's head movement indicates that the user is in a learning or working state; if the field of vision condition is not met, the user's head movement indicates that the user is not in a learning or working state.

[0081] Optionally, determining whether the line-of-sight condition is met includes: obtaining the angle between the user's actual line-of-sight direction and the user's horizontal line-of-sight direction; if, up to the current moment, the third continuous duration of the state in which the line-of-sight angle is within a preset angle range is greater than or equal to a fifth preset duration, and / or, within the time period before the current moment, the third cumulative duration of the state in which the line-of-sight angle is within a preset angle range is greater than or equal to a sixth preset duration, and the sixth preset duration is greater than the fifth preset duration; then it is determined that the line-of-sight condition is met.

[0082] The current time is defined as the end time of the third preset duration preceding the current time.

[0083] The preset angle range corresponds to a specific learning or work scenario. For example, compared to the preset angle range for learning or work scenarios where users need to look directly at the monitor, the absolute value of the preset angle range for learning scenarios or work documents where users need to look down is larger.

[0084] Similar to the vision conditions, the fifth and sixth time settings also correspond to specific learning or work scenarios.

[0085] Those skilled in the art can set a preset angle range, a fifth preset duration, or a sixth preset duration according to the specific learning or work scenario.

[0086] The gaze condition is used to determine whether the user's head movement is in a learning or working state. If the gaze condition is met, the user's head movement indicates that the user is in a learning or working state; if the gaze condition is not met, the user's head movement indicates that the user is not in a learning or working state.

[0087] Based on the above methods for determining the conditions for satisfying the field of vision and the line of sight, when the position, field of vision, and line of sight conditions are satisfied, the learning state or working state is determined as the current user state. This method of determining the current user state has high accuracy but requires a large amount of computation. In contrast, when the position and field of vision conditions are satisfied, or when the position and line of sight conditions are satisfied, the learning state or working state is determined as the current user state. This method of determining the current user state has low accuracy but requires a small amount of computation.

[0088] Those skilled in the art can choose an appropriate method for determining the current user status based on actual needs.

[0089] Optionally, obtaining the user's field of view includes: using the user's actual line of sight as a reference direction and the center position as the rotation center, rotating upward by a first predetermined angle to obtain a first direction; using the user's actual line of sight as a reference direction and the center position as the rotation center, rotating downward by a second predetermined angle to obtain a second direction; using the user's actual line of sight as a reference direction and the center position as the rotation center, rotating left by a third predetermined angle to obtain a third direction; using the user's actual line of sight as a reference direction and the center position as the rotation center, rotating right by a fourth predetermined angle to obtain a fourth direction; and using the area defined by the first, second, third, and fourth directions as the user's field of view.

[0090] The first set angle can be greater than the second set angle. The first set angle can be 10° to 20°, for example, the first set angle can be 10°, 15° or 20°; the second set angle can be -5° to 5°, for example, the second set angle can be -5°, 0° or 5°.

[0091] The third setting angle can be equal to the fourth setting angle, and the third setting angle and the fourth setting angle can be 5° to 15°. For example, the third setting angle and the fourth setting angle can be 5°, 10° or 15°.

[0092] The first, second, third, and fourth setting angles listed above are merely illustrative examples. In cases where the definition of the field of view differs, the first, second, third, and fourth setting angles can be adaptively adjusted, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0093] In the foregoing embodiments, the methods for determining the user's horizontal line of sight and the methods for determining the user's actual line of sight direction were defined. The methods for determining the visual field conditions and the methods for determining the line of sight conditions listed in the above embodiments all correspond to the methods for determining the user's horizontal position.

[0094] When using other methods to determine the user's horizontal line of sight, and other methods to determine the user's actual line of sight, the first, second, third, and fourth preset angles in the aforementioned methods for determining the user's field of vision, as well as the preset angle range in the methods for determining the line of sight conditions, all need to be adaptively adjusted. These will not be elaborated upon here.

[0095] Figure 2This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning method for a learning and working scenario provided in an embodiment of this application. This air conditioning method for a learning and working scenario can be executed in the controller of an air conditioning device, for example, in the case of an air conditioner (including a fresh air conditioner), it can be executed in the controller of the air conditioner; or, in a smart home control system, this air conditioning method for a learning and working scenario can be executed in the server of the smart home system.

[0096] Combination Figure 2 As shown, air conditioning methods for learning and working environments include:

[0097] S201. In a learning or working scenario, obtain the current user status.

[0098] In this learning and working environment, air conditioning equipment includes air conditioners.

[0099] S202. When the current user status is learning or working, determine the first set air volume according to the preset air volume, so that the first set air volume is less than or equal to the first preset air volume.

[0100] When the air conditioner is operating at its first preset airflow rate, the noise level produced is less than or equal to the noise threshold. The first preset airflow rate corresponds to a specific air conditioner, and different air conditioners have different first preset airflow rates. The noise threshold refers to the noise level that does not affect the user's normal work or study; the noise threshold corresponds to the user's habits, and different users have different noise thresholds.

[0101] S203. In cooling mode, the first comfortable temperature is used as the first set temperature; in heating mode, the second comfortable temperature is used as the first set temperature; the first comfortable temperature is greater than the second comfortable temperature.

[0102] The first and second comfort temperatures are the comfort temperatures corresponding to the learning or working scenarios, and are the comfort temperatures that are conducive to improving learning or working efficiency.

[0103] S204. Control the air conditioner according to the first set air volume and the first set temperature.

[0104] The first set air volume and the first set temperature in the above steps belong to the first control strategy.

[0105] The aforementioned first preset air volume and first comfortable temperature belong to the environment corresponding to the learning and working scenario. The aforementioned first preset air volume and second comfortable temperature belong to the environment corresponding to the learning and working scenario.

[0106] In this scenario, the correspondence between the first control strategy and the learning and working scenario is as follows: if the first set air volume is less than or equal to the first preset air volume, the first comfortable temperature is used as the first set temperature, or the second comfortable temperature is used as the first set temperature.

[0107] S205. If the current user status is not in learning status or not in working status, reduce the first set air volume and use the reduced first set air volume as the second set air volume; increase the first set temperature and use the increased first set temperature as the second set temperature.

[0108] In this step, the first control strategy is adjusted to obtain the second control strategy, including: reducing the first set air volume and using the reduced first set air volume as the second set air volume; increasing the first set temperature and using the increased first set temperature as the second set temperature.

[0109] The second control strategy includes a second set air volume and a second set temperature.

[0110] S206. Control the air conditioner according to the second set air volume and the second set temperature.

[0111] Controlling the air conditioning equipment according to the second control strategy means controlling the air conditioner according to the second set air volume and the second set temperature.

This air conditioning method for a learning and working scenario can be executed in the controller of an air conditioning device, for example, in the case of a fresh air system, it can be executed in the controller of the fresh air system; or, in a smart home control system, this air conditioning method for a learning and working scenario can be executed in the server of the smart home system.
