[0029] It should also be further understood that the term "and / or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an air conditioner lighting control method based on sleep mode, provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner lighting control method based on sleep mode provided in this embodiment is applied to an air conditioner.

[0031] S1. When the air conditioner is in sleep mode, human motion detection is performed on the current indoor environment.

[0032] In this embodiment of the application, when the air conditioner is in sleep mode, it uses millimeter-wave radar to transmit millimeter-wave signals to detect human movement in the current indoor environment.

[0033] Specifically, millimeter-wave radar utilizes the electromagnetic wave characteristics of the millimeter-wave frequency band to detect minute movements of the human body. Furthermore, it can detect minute movements of the chest and abdomen.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 A specific implementation of step S1 is shown below:

[0035] S11: When the air conditioner is in sleep mode, it transmits millimeter-wave signals to the current indoor environment via millimeter-wave radar.

[0036] S12: Receive the echo signal corresponding to the millimeter-wave signal via the receiving antenna, and detect the human body movement in the current indoor environment based on the echo signal. The echo signal includes the object's position, distance, speed, and direction of movement.

[0037] In this embodiment, a millimeter-wave radar transmits a millimeter-wave signal to the current indoor environment, and a receiving antenna receives the echo signal corresponding to the millimeter-wave signal. If there are no people in the current indoor environment, the received echo signal will not change; if there are people, the received echo signal will change when the millimeter-wave signal passes through the chest and abdomen of the person, thereby realizing the detection of human movement.

[0038] S2. When a human body is detected performing the human body movement, light adjustment parameters are generated based on the human body movement.

[0039] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 A specific implementation of step S2 is shown below:

[0040] S21: When a human body is detected to be performing the human body action, acquire the signal information corresponding to the human body action.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 A specific implementation of step S21 is shown below:

[0042] S211: When the receiving antenna receives the echo signal, determine whether the echo signal has changed.

[0043] S212: If the echo signal changes, it is determined that a human body is detected performing the human body action.

[0044] S213: The human body movement is returned to the main control system of the air conditioner in the form of signal information to obtain the signal information corresponding to the human body movement.

[0045] In this embodiment, if there are no people in the current indoor environment, the received echo signal will not change; if there are people, the millimeter wave signal will change when it passes through the chest and abdomen of the human body. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the receiving antenna receives the echo signal, it determines whether the echo signal has changed; if the echo signal has changed, it determines that human movement has been detected; the human movement is returned to the main control system of the air conditioner in the form of signal information to obtain the signal information corresponding to the human movement.

[0046] Specifically, millimeter-wave radar detects minute human movement signals and transmits the signals to the main controller. The main controller dynamically adjusts the parameters of LEDs and other components based on the detected minute changes in the frequency of human movement, achieving the effect of the lights changing with the breathing frequency.

[0047] S22: Analyze the signal information to generate the human body movement state of the person, and analyze and process the human body movement state to obtain the analysis result. The human body movement state includes breathing frequency and breathing amplitude.

[0048] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 A specific implementation of step S22 is shown below:

[0049] S221: Calculate the breathing frequency and breathing amplitude of the person based on the time delay and frequency offset of the signal information.

[0050] S222: Compare the respiratory rate with a first preset threshold to obtain a first comparison result.

[0051] S223: Compare the breathing amplitude with the second preset threshold to obtain a second comparison result.

[0052] S224: Generate the analysis results based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result.

[0053] In this embodiment, since the signal information has been obtained through the above steps, including the object's position, distance, speed, and direction of movement, the breathing frequency and amplitude of the person are calculated based on the time delay and frequency shift of the signal information. The breathing frequency during sleep typically undergoes a series of changes from before falling asleep to falling asleep.

[0054] Breathing frequency is usually relatively stable before falling asleep, and gradually decreases as the body enters a sleep state. Generally, the trend of breathing frequency change from before to during sleep is as follows: Before falling asleep: Before entering sleep, the breathing frequency is generally at a relatively stable level, similar to the waking state, usually around 16-20 breaths per minute; During sleep: As the body enters a sleep state, the breathing frequency gradually decreases. In the early stages of sleep, the breathing frequency may be 12-16 breaths per minute. As the body enters deeper sleep, the breathing frequency continues to decrease, usually between 8-12 breaths per minute. Additionally, the amplitude of breathing also varies depending on the different stages of sleep.

[0055] In this embodiment, different thresholds need to be set, and different preset thresholds correspond to different sleep stages. Therefore, in this embodiment, the breathing rate is compared with a first preset threshold to obtain a first comparison result; the breathing amplitude is compared with a second preset threshold to obtain a second comparison result; and the analysis result is generated based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result. It should be noted that the first and second preset thresholds are set according to actual conditions, and are not limited here.

[0056] The analysis results identified the sleep stage the individual was in, which included the pre-sleep stage, early sleep stage, and deep sleep stage.

[0057] S23: Generate the constant light duration and brightness / darkness frequency based on the analysis results, and use the constant light duration and brightness / darkness frequency as the light adjustment parameters.

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, the constant light duration and brightness / darkness frequency are generated based on the sleep stage in the analysis results, and the constant light duration and brightness / darkness frequency are used as the light adjustment parameters.

[0059] S3. Control the lights of the air conditioner based on the light adjustment parameters.

[0060] In this embodiment, the air conditioner controls the brightness frequency of the lights to achieve a "breathing light" effect. As human movement decreases, the duration and frequency of constant illumination gradually decrease, while simultaneously reducing the maximum brightness of the air conditioner lights. The lights are turned off when the maximum brightness reaches zero.

[0061] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 A specific implementation method following step S3 is shown below:

[0062] S31: Monitor the sound information of the current indoor environment using a human voice sensor.

[0063] S32: When the sound information is obtained, the sound information is processed to determine whether the sound information is human voice information.

[0064] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 A specific implementation of step S32 is shown below:

[0065] S321: Preprocess the sound information to obtain preprocessed sound information;

[0066] S322: Extract acoustic features from the preprocessed sound information to obtain acoustic features;

[0067] S323: Perform human voice recognition based on the acoustic features to determine whether the sound information is human voice information.

[0068] In this embodiment, the voice sensor detects and processes the sound information of the current indoor environment and identifies human voices within the sound, thereby preventing other sounds from interfering with the lighting system. Specifically, the sensor microphone collects and detects the sound information of the current indoor environment, preprocesses the collected sound signals, extracts their acoustic features, and then performs voice recognition. If a human voice is detected, the lights are turned on.

[0069] S33: If the sound information is human voice information, control the air conditioner to turn on the lights and activate the air conditioner's timer function.

[0070] S34: When the human voice information is detected during the timed period, the timed function of the air conditioner is restarted.

[0071] S35: When the timer function expires, control the air conditioner to turn off the lights.

[0072] In this embodiment, after the air conditioner light is completely turned off, if the user needs to turn it on during sleep, they only need to make a sound, such as coughing or humming, to turn on the light. Therefore, after turning on the light through voice recognition during sleep, the timer function is activated. If a voice is detected again during the timer period, the timer is reset. After the timer expires, the light is turned off.

[0073] In one specific embodiment, when a user needs to sleep, the air conditioner is put into sleep mode. At this time, the air conditioner activates a voice sensor for voice recognition and a millimeter-wave sensor for human motion detection. Based on the detected human motion, the brightness, frequency, and maximum brightness of the air conditioner's lights are intelligently adjusted. The lights gradually dim as the user falls asleep. If the user needs to turn on the air conditioner lights during sleep, they only need to make a slight sound (e.g., a cough). The voice sensor detects the sound and turns on the air conditioner lights. After the lights are turned on, it continues to detect for a period of time. If a voice is detected again within a preset time, the lights remain on. If no voice is detected within the preset time, the lights are turned off.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in sleep mode, human movement detection is performed on the current indoor environment; when human movement is detected, lighting adjustment parameters are generated based on the human movement; and the air conditioner's lighting is controlled based on the lighting adjustment parameters. This embodiment of the invention achieves intelligent control of air conditioner lighting by detecting human movement in the indoor environment, generating lighting adjustment parameters based on the human movement, and controlling the air conditioner's lighting based on the lighting adjustment parameters. This avoids the air conditioner's lighting affecting the user's sleep and improves the user experience.

[0075] Furthermore, this application embodiment addresses the problem of air conditioner lights appearing too bright in dimly lit indoor environments. By automatically adjusting the brightness and on / off status of the air conditioner lights based on the user's sleep state and ambient light conditions, it avoids excessively bright lights affecting sleep quality while still meeting the user's need to view and adjust the air conditioner status in dark environments. This application embodiment simulates a breathing light effect, gradually adjusting the brightness and frequency of the air conditioner lights based on the user's body movement and breathing rhythm. This control method, which gradually reduces the constant on time and lowers the maximum brightness, helps create a more suitable environment for falling asleep, provides a comfortable visual experience, and promotes the user's ability to fall asleep and improves sleep quality. In this application embodiment, if the user needs to turn on the air conditioner lights during sleep, they can simply do so by speaking. This voice control method is simple and easy to use, allowing users to obtain the desired lighting effect when needed without additional operation or touch control. This application embodiment also provides timed control for air conditioner lights during sleep: if the user turns on the air conditioner lights via voice control during sleep, this application embodiment also provides a timed control function. Once the lights are turned on via voice control, the system starts a timer. If a sound is detected again within a certain period, the timer will restart until the timer expires and the lights are turned off. This ensures that adequate lighting is provided when needed by the user and automatically turns off after a certain period of time to save energy.

[0076] By solving the problem of light switches, providing sleep aid effects, and offering convenient light control, a more comfortable, convenient, and intelligent sleep environment is created for users, improving their sleep experience and quality of life.

[0077] This invention also provides an air conditioner lighting control device based on a sleep mode, which is used to execute any of the aforementioned air conditioner lighting control methods based on a sleep mode.
