Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to an air conditioning control method and system. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are among the most common electrical appliances. Currently, most air conditioners are set with fixed operating parameters at the factory, and they operate according to these parameters. However, users' needs for air conditioning vary in different environments, and existing air conditioners cannot adjust their operating parameters according to the environment, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] In this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0058] As can be seen from the background technology, most air conditioners are currently set with fixed operating parameters at the factory. The air conditioner operates according to the fixed operating parameters, but users have different operating needs for the air conditioner in different environments. Existing air conditioners cannot adjust the operating parameters according to the environment, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0059] Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioning control method and system that determines the air delivery area based on the user's height parameters and movement trajectory, and controls the air conditioner to deliver air to the air delivery area. Two temperature control modes are provided: in the first temperature control mode, the set temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted based on the current date and environmental parameters of the space where the air conditioner is located; in the second temperature control mode, the set parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted based on the user's body surface temperature. This achieves the goal of adjusting the air conditioner parameters according to the environment, thereby improving the user experience.

[0060] See Figure 1 The flowchart of an air conditioning control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The air conditioning control method is as follows:

[0061] Step S101: When the air conditioner is turned on, obtain the initial set temperature of the air conditioner and collect the height parameters and movement trajectory of the user in the space where the air conditioner is located.

[0062] In the specific implementation of step S101, the air conditioner is started in response to the user's triggered air conditioner start command; when the air conditioner is started, the initial set temperature of the air conditioner is obtained (set by the user through the air conditioner controller). For example, when the user turns on the air conditioner in room A through the air conditioner remote control and sets the temperature to 26℃, the obtained initial set temperature is 26℃, and room A is the space where the air conditioner is located; the image acquisition device (or a device with sensing function) is controlled in real time to collect the user's height parameters and movement trajectory in the space where the air conditioner is located.

[0063] In some embodiments, the image acquisition device may be a device with image acquisition function installed on the air conditioner, such as a camera installed on the air conditioner.

[0064] It should be noted that the obtained motion trajectory includes at least the user's position in the space where the air conditioner is located (such as the position of the sofa, dining table, bed and desk) and the duration of the user's stay in the position. The motion trajectory can determine the user's movement pattern in the space where the air conditioner is located.

[0065] It is understandable that there may be one or more users in the space where the air conditioner is located. When collecting height parameters and movement trajectories, it is necessary to collect the height parameters and movement trajectories of each user in the space where the air conditioner is located.

[0066] Step S102: Based on height parameters and movement trajectory, determine at least one air supply area in the space where the air conditioner is located, and control the air conditioner to supply air to at least one air supply area.

[0067] In the specific implementation step S102, the height parameters and movement trajectories of each user are analyzed. Based on the analysis results, the space where the air conditioner is located is divided into an invalid area and at least one air supply area. The invalid area is an area without users (or where users stay briefly), and the air supply area is an area where users are present. When at least one air supply area is determined from the space where the air conditioner is located, the air guide vane of the air conditioner is controlled to rotate to supply air to the air supply area.

[0068] It should be noted that since users may move around in the space where the air conditioner is located, at least one air supply area needs to be determined in real time or periodically based on the collected height parameters and movement trajectory to ensure that the air supply direction of the air conditioner is adjusted to follow the user's movement.

[0069] For example Figure 2 The provided example diagram shows the air supply area. There is a user A in the space where the air conditioner is located. Based on the height parameters and movement trajectory of user A, the space where the air conditioner is located is divided into an air supply area A and an invalid area B. The air guide plate of the air conditioner is controlled to rotate to supply air to the air supply area A.

[0070] For example Figure 3 Another example diagram of the air supply area is provided. There are users A and B in the space where the air conditioner is located. Based on the height parameters and movement trajectories of users A and B, the space where the air conditioner is located is divided into air supply area C, air supply area D and invalid area E. The air guide plate of the air conditioner is controlled to rotate to supply air to air supply area C and air supply area D.

[0071] Step S103: Start the first temperature control mode or the second temperature control mode.

[0072] It should be noted that the air conditioner mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention has two temperature control modes: a first temperature control mode and a second temperature control mode. When the user starts the air conditioner, they can select to start the first temperature control mode or the second temperature control mode through the air conditioner controller. When the user does not select a temperature control mode, they can set the first temperature control mode or the second temperature control mode to be started by default. Similarly, the first temperature control mode or the second temperature control mode can also be selected to be started according to preset rules without the user having to make a selection. In the embodiments of the present invention, there is no specific limitation on how to start the first temperature control mode or the second temperature control mode.

[0073] In the specific implementation of step S103, the air conditioner is controlled to start the first temperature control mode or the second temperature control mode; when the first temperature control mode is started, steps S104 to S105 are executed; when the second temperature control mode is started, steps S106 to S107 are executed.

[0074] Step S104: In the first temperature control mode, obtain the corresponding target body surface temperature curve based on the current date and the environmental parameters of the space where the air conditioner is located.

[0075] It should be noted that the target body surface temperature curve is determined from multiple pre-collected body surface temperature curves, meaning the target body surface temperature curve is pre-collected. Since a user's body surface temperature varies in different seasons and under different temperatures and humidity levels, body surface temperature curves corresponding to different temperatures and humidity levels in each season are pre-collected for each season. All collected body surface temperature curves are stored for later use. The body surface temperature curve contains the user's body surface temperature over 24 hours, with different body surface temperature curves corresponding to different seasons and environmental temperatures and humidity levels.

[0076] Specifically, when collecting body surface temperature curves, users wear body surface temperature detectors to detect their body surface temperature over 24 hours, and the detected body surface temperatures are used to construct corresponding body surface temperature curves.

[0077] For example: In the first month of spring, under an indoor temperature of 20℃ and an indoor humidity of 78%, a user's body surface temperature is measured over 24 hours using a body surface temperature detector. A body surface temperature curve A is constructed using the detected body surface temperatures. Figure 4 As shown, the seasonal period and ambient temperature and humidity corresponding to the body surface temperature curve A are: the first month of spring, indoor temperature 20℃, indoor humidity 78%.

[0078] For example, in the second month of spring, in an environment with an indoor temperature of 25℃ and an indoor humidity of 79%, the user's body surface temperature is measured for 24 hours using a body surface temperature detector. The body surface temperature curve B is constructed using the detected body surface temperature. The seasonal period and environmental temperature and humidity corresponding to body surface temperature curve B are: the second month of spring, indoor temperature 25℃, indoor humidity 79%.

[0079] Using the above method, body surface temperature curves corresponding to different seasons and environmental temperature and humidity are constructed, and the constructed body surface temperature curves are stored as preprocessing parameters for air conditioning temperature control.

[0080] In the specific implementation of step S104, under the first temperature control mode, the current season to which the current date belongs is determined. The current date is the date on which the air conditioner is turned on. For example, if the user turns on the air conditioner on July 4, then the current date is July 4, and the current season to which July 4 belongs is the second month of summer.

[0081] From multiple pre-collected body surface temperature curves, the body surface temperature curve corresponding to the current season and the ambient temperature and humidity of the space where the air conditioner is located is determined as the target body surface temperature curve; that is, from the stored body surface temperature curves, the body surface temperature curve that is consistent with the current season and whose ambient temperature and humidity are consistent with the ambient temperature and humidity of the space where the air conditioner is located is determined as the target body surface temperature curve.

[0082] For example: If the current season is the second month of summer, the temperature in the space where the air conditioner is located is 30℃, and the humidity in the space where the air conditioner is located is 76%H, then the body surface temperature curve with the season being the second month of summer, the temperature being 30℃, and the humidity being 76%H is determined from the stored body surface temperature curves as the target body surface temperature curve.

[0083] Step S105: Based on the target body surface temperature curve, the first cycle, and the initial set temperature, periodically adjust the set temperature of the air conditioner.

[0084] It should be noted that the target body surface temperature curve includes the user's body surface temperature over 24 hours. In the specific implementation step S105, the second body surface temperature corresponding to the time the air conditioner is started is determined from the target body surface temperature curve. For example, if the user starts the air conditioner at 9 PM, the body surface temperature corresponding to 9 PM is determined from the target body surface temperature curve as the second body surface temperature. A first temperature difference threshold range is determined based on the second body surface temperature and the initial set temperature. Specifically, the first temperature difference threshold range is determined according to a preset rule using the temperature difference between the second body surface temperature and the initial set temperature. This first temperature difference threshold range covers the temperature difference between the second body surface temperature and the initial set temperature.

[0085] For example: the second body surface temperature is 36.5℃, the initial set temperature is 26℃, the temperature difference between the second body surface temperature and the initial set temperature is 10.5℃, and the first temperature difference threshold range is determined to be (10.3℃-10.7℃) according to the preset rules.

[0086] During air conditioning operation, the third body surface temperature corresponding to the current time point is periodically determined from the target body surface temperature curve according to the first cycle. The set temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the obtained third body surface temperature so that the temperature difference between the set temperature of the air conditioner and the third body surface temperature is within the first temperature difference threshold range.

[0087] It should be noted that the current time point is the time point from which the third body surface temperature is queried from the target body surface temperature curve, and the current time point will change as the air conditioner operates.

[0088] For example: The first cycle is as follows: every 15 minutes, the third body surface temperature is queried from the target body surface temperature curve; after the air conditioner is turned on, at 21:10, the third body surface temperature A corresponding to 21:10 is queried from the target body surface temperature curve, and the air conditioner's set temperature is adjusted using the third body surface temperature A, so that the temperature difference between the set temperature and the third body surface temperature A is within the first temperature difference threshold range; at 21:25, the third body surface temperature B corresponding to 21:25 is queried from the target body surface temperature curve, and the air conditioner's set temperature is adjusted using the third body surface temperature B, so that the temperature difference between the set temperature and the third body surface temperature B is within the first temperature difference threshold range.

[0089] For example: If a user turns on the air conditioner at 9 PM, and the target body surface temperature curve indicates that the second body surface temperature at 9 PM is 36.1℃, the initial set temperature is 26℃, and the first temperature difference threshold range is (9.9℃-10.3℃); during the air conditioner's operation, if the target body surface temperature curve indicates that the third body surface temperature at 9:15 PM is 36.6℃, then the air conditioner's set temperature will be adjusted to 26.5℃, between 36.6℃ and 26.5℃. The temperature difference is 10.1℃, which falls within the first temperature difference range of (9.9℃-10.3℃). At 21:30, the third body surface temperature corresponding to 21:30 is determined from the target body surface temperature curve to be 36.5℃. The current air conditioner setting temperature is 26.5℃. The temperature difference between 36.5℃ and 26.5℃ is 10℃, which falls within the first temperature difference range of (9.9℃-10.3℃). At this time, the air conditioner setting temperature does not need to be adjusted.

[0090] Step S106: In the second temperature control mode, the temperature acquisition device is periodically controlled to collect the user's first body surface temperature according to the second cycle.

[0091] In the specific implementation of step S106, under the second temperature control mode, the temperature acquisition device is periodically controlled to collect the user's first body surface temperature according to the second cycle. In some embodiments, after the air conditioner is started, the first body surface temperature collected by the temperature acquisition device for the first time is determined to be the first body surface temperature collected when the air conditioner is started.

[0092] In some embodiments, the temperature acquisition device is a device with temperature acquisition function installed on the air conditioner, such as an infrared sensor installed on the air conditioner.

[0093] In some embodiments, the temperature acquisition device is controlled to acquire the first body surface temperature of each user in the space where the air conditioner is located.

[0094] Preferably, if any first body surface temperature is greater than or equal to the alarm temperature threshold, an alarm message indicating that the body surface temperature is too high is output; for example, if any first body surface temperature is greater than 37.1℃, an alarm message indicating that the body surface temperature is too high is output.

[0095] The alarm information is output in the following ways: by playing a voice alarm message to indicate that the body surface temperature is too high, and / or by sending an alarm message to a terminal pre-linked to the air conditioner in a specified manner. For example, the alarm message "Your body temperature is detected to be too high. Please check if you have a fever" is played through a speaker set on the air conditioner (or a smart speaker connected to the air conditioner), thus alerting the user that their body surface temperature is too high.

[0096] For example, an alarm message could be sent to a mobile phone linked to the air conditioner via a push notification app, stating, "Your body temperature is detected to be too high. Please check if you have a fever."

[0097] Step S107: Adjust the air conditioner's set temperature based on the collected first body surface temperature and the initial set temperature.

[0098] In the specific implementation of step S107, there may be one or more users in the space where the air conditioner is located. The number of users in the space where the air conditioner is located varies, and the method of adjusting the set temperature of the air conditioner based on the first body surface temperature is different. The following describes the method of adjusting the set temperature of the air conditioner based on the first body surface temperature.

[0099] When there is only one user in the space where the air conditioner is located, the method for adjusting the air conditioner's set temperature based on the first body surface temperature is as follows:

[0100] As can be seen from the above, after the air conditioner is turned on, the first body surface temperature collected by the temperature acquisition device is taken as the first body surface temperature collected when the air conditioner is turned on. In other words, the first body surface temperature collected when the air conditioner is turned on is the first body surface temperature collected by the temperature acquisition device.

[0101] When there is only one user, a second temperature difference threshold range is determined using the first body surface temperature collected when the air conditioner is turned on and the initial set temperature. Specifically, the second temperature difference threshold range is determined using the temperature difference between the first body surface temperature collected when the air conditioner is turned on and the initial set temperature, and this second temperature difference threshold range covers the temperature difference between the first body surface temperature collected when the air conditioner is turned on and the initial set temperature.

[0102] As the air conditioner operates, the first body surface temperature collected by the temperature acquisition device may change. Therefore, the air conditioner's set temperature is adjusted based on the first body surface temperature collected during operation, so that the temperature difference between the air conditioner's set temperature and the first body surface temperature (collected during air conditioner operation) is within a second temperature difference threshold range. It should be noted that the specific method for adjusting the air conditioner's set temperature can be found in step S105 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0103] When multiple users are in the space where the air conditioner is located, the method for adjusting the air conditioner's set temperature based on the first body surface temperature is as follows:

[0104] Since there are multiple users in the space where the air conditioner is located, the average body surface temperature can be calculated based on the first body surface temperature of multiple users, and then the set temperature of the air conditioner can be adjusted based on the average body surface temperature.

[0105] Specifically, when the number of users is greater than one, a first average body surface temperature is calculated using multiple first body surface temperatures collected when the air conditioner is turned on. A third temperature difference threshold range is then determined based on the first average body surface temperature and the initial set temperature. In other words, the first average body surface temperature is calculated using the first body surface temperature collected for each user when the air conditioner is turned on, and then the third temperature difference threshold range is determined based on the first average body surface temperature and the initial set temperature. Specifically, the third temperature difference threshold range is determined using the temperature difference between the first average body surface temperature and the initial set temperature, and this third temperature difference threshold range covers the temperature difference between the first average body surface temperature and the initial set temperature.

[0106] For example: Suppose there are 3 users in the space where the air conditioner is located, and the initial set temperature is 26℃. When the air conditioner is turned on, the first body surface temperature of the 3 users is collected as 36.3℃, 36.5℃ and 36.1℃ respectively. The first average body surface temperature is calculated as 36.3℃, and the temperature difference between 36.3℃ and 26℃ is 10.3℃. According to the preset rules, the third temperature difference threshold range is determined to be (10.1℃-10.5℃).

[0107] Understandably, during operation, the air conditioner periodically collects the first body surface temperature of each user using temperature acquisition equipment. A second average body surface temperature is calculated using the multiple first body surface temperatures collected during operation. The air conditioner's set temperature is then adjusted based on this second average body surface temperature to ensure that the temperature difference between the set temperature and the second average body surface temperature is within a third temperature difference threshold range. It should be noted that the specific method for adjusting the air conditioner's set temperature can be found in step S105 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0108] In this embodiment of the invention, the air delivery area is determined based on the user's height and movement trajectory, and the air conditioner is controlled to deliver air to that area. Two temperature control modes are provided: in the first mode, the air conditioner's set temperature is adjusted based on the current date and environmental parameters of the space where the air conditioner is located; in the second mode, the air conditioner's set parameters are adjusted based on the user's body surface temperature.
