[0015] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in this invention or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of this invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained from these drawings without creative effort.

[0016] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the air conditioner control method provided by the present invention;

[0017] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device provided by the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0019] The following is combined Figures 1 to 2 This invention describes the air conditioner control method, apparatus, air conditioner, and electronic equipment provided by the present invention.

[0020] The adjustment of existing air conditioners is complicated, and many users cannot adjust them to the target setting, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, this embodiment provides a method for intelligently adjusting an air conditioner, which can adjust the indoor environment without the need for a remote control.

[0021] This embodiment uses voice devices, radar, infrared detection devices, ultrasonic devices, etc. to detect the human body and remind the user to turn on the air conditioner when there is a user in the room where the air conditioner is located. Furthermore, the operating mode of the air conditioner is controlled by the outdoor ambient temperature. For example, in summer, when the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than 28°C, the air conditioner is controlled to start the cooling mode; in winter, when the outdoor ambient temperature is less than 15°C, the air conditioner is controlled to start the heating mode.

[0022] To further regulate the indoor environment, this embodiment provides an air conditioner control method, including: step 100, obtaining the indoor area of ​​the room where the air conditioner is located; step 200, when the indoor area is greater than or equal to a preset area, controlling the air conditioner to operate at a first fan speed; step 300, when the indoor area is less than the preset area, controlling the air conditioner fan speed according to the air conditioner's operating mode and the indoor ambient temperature.

[0023] Step 100: Obtain the indoor area of ​​the room where the air conditioner is located. Specifically, the indoor area of ​​the room where the air conditioner is located can be obtained through the building design drawings, or by using a detection device to detect the dimensions of the room where the air conditioner is located and then calculating the indoor area of ​​the room where the air conditioner is located.

[0024] Furthermore, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the relationship between the indoor area and the preset area. The user experience is different when the air conditioner is running in different indoor areas. In this embodiment, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled according to the indoor area of ​​the room where the air conditioner is located, so that the indoor environment can be adjusted without the user having to adjust it through the remote control, which is more intelligent.

[0025] Step 200: If the indoor area is greater than or equal to the preset area, control the air conditioner to operate at the first fan speed; specifically, the preset area is set to 25m². 2 The indoor area of ​​the room where the air conditioner is located is 30m². 2 In cases where the room where the air conditioner is located has an indoor area larger than the preset area, the heat exchange speed is slow due to the large area. Therefore, the air conditioner's fan is controlled to run at the first fan speed (high fan speed) to quickly adjust the indoor ambient temperature, accelerate the heat exchange speed, and improve user comfort.

[0026] Step 300: When the indoor area is smaller than a preset area, control the air conditioner's fan speed according to the air conditioner's operating mode and the indoor ambient temperature; specifically, obtain the indoor area of ​​the room where the air conditioner is located as 15m². 2 When the room where the air conditioner is located is smaller than the preset area, the heat exchange speed is faster. By controlling the air conditioner's fan speed according to the air conditioner's operating mode and the indoor ambient temperature, the indoor fan speed can be adjusted more accurately to improve the indoor ambient temperature and avoid affecting user comfort due to too high or too low fan speed.

[0027] This embodiment obtains the indoor area of ​​the room where the air conditioner is located to understand the size of the room. When a user is present in the room, the air conditioner is controlled to operate. If the indoor area is greater than or equal to a preset area (larger area, slower heat exchange), the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a first fan speed to quickly adjust the indoor temperature. If the indoor area is smaller than the preset area (smaller area, faster heat exchange), the air conditioner's fan speed is controlled according to the operating mode and indoor temperature. This air conditioner control method controls the air conditioner to operate with a suitable and effective air delivery mode according to the actual application scenario, providing a comfortable environment for the user without requiring operation via air conditioner remote control, avoiding user errors that could affect comfort, and thus improving the user experience.

[0028] The preset area in this embodiment is not limited to 25m². 2 In another embodiment, the preset area is 20m². 2In this embodiment, the preset area can be set according to the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner.

[0029] Based on the above embodiments, further, when the indoor area is smaller than a preset area, the air conditioner fan speed is controlled according to the air conditioner's operating mode and the indoor ambient temperature, including: acquiring the indoor ambient temperature; in cooling mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature, or in heating mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is less than a second preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner to operate at a first fan speed; wherein the first preset temperature is greater than the second preset temperature; in cooling mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is less than the first preset temperature, or in heating mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature and less than the first preset temperature, controlling the air conditioner fan speed according to the category of the target personnel in the room where the air conditioner is located.

[0030] When the indoor area of ​​the room where the air conditioner is located is smaller than the preset area, the indoor ambient temperature is obtained through the temperature monitoring device to understand the current ambient temperature of the room where the air conditioner is located; furthermore, in cooling mode, the indoor ambient temperature obtained by the temperature monitoring device is 33℃, which is higher than the first preset temperature (32℃). At this time, the indoor ambient temperature is high, so the air conditioner is controlled to run at the first fan speed (high fan speed) to quickly reduce the indoor ambient temperature and improve user comfort.

[0031] In cooling mode, the indoor ambient temperature obtained by the temperature monitoring device is 29℃. The indoor ambient temperature (29℃) is lower than the first preset temperature (32℃). Different users have different needs for the heat exchange environment. By reasonably distinguishing the groups of people, the air conditioner’s fan speed is controlled according to the category of the target people in the room where the air conditioner is located, thereby meeting the comfort of different groups of people and providing users with a comfortable environment.

[0032] In heating mode, the indoor ambient temperature obtained by the temperature monitoring device is 10℃, which is lower than the second preset temperature (15℃). At this time, the indoor ambient temperature is low, so the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the first fan speed (high setting) to quickly raise the indoor ambient temperature and improve user comfort. In this embodiment, the second preset temperature is lower than the first preset temperature.

[0033] In heating mode, the indoor ambient temperature obtained by the temperature monitoring device is 18℃. The indoor ambient temperature (18℃) is greater than the second preset temperature (15℃) and less than the first preset temperature (32℃). Different users have different needs for the heat exchange environment. In order to meet the user's comfort, the air speed of the air conditioner is controlled according to the category of the target people in the room where the air conditioner is located, thereby providing a comfortable environment for the user.

[0034] This embodiment controls the air conditioner's fan speed based on the air conditioner's operating mode and the relationship between the indoor ambient temperature and the preset temperature. It can adjust the air conditioner's fan speed according to different application scenarios, providing intelligent adjustment, high comfort, and a good user experience.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, in cooling mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, or in heating mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature and lower than the first preset temperature, the air conditioner's fan speed is controlled according to the category of the target person in the room where the air conditioner is located. This includes: acquiring a facial image of the target person in the room where the air conditioner is located and determining the category of the target person; if the target person is a first category, controlling the air conditioner to operate at a first fan speed; if the target person is a second category, controlling the air conditioner to operate at a second fan speed, where the second fan speed is lower than the first fan speed; and if the target person is a third category, controlling the air conditioner to operate at a third fan speed, where the third fan speed is lower than the second fan speed.

[0036] Different types of users have different requirements for the air conditioner's fan speed. In this embodiment, the target users are divided into three categories: Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3. Category 1 consists of adults aged 18 to 50 who need rapid cooling or heating; Category 2 consists of teenagers aged 10 to 18 who need rapid heating or cooling but are still growing; and Category 3 consists of special groups, including the elderly over 50 years old, children under 10 years old, and people with health problems, who need slow heating or cooling.

[0037] The camera component captures facial images of the target person. Further, based on the facial images, the category to which the target person belongs is determined. Further, if the target person belongs to the first category, the target person requests rapid cooling or heating to improve comfort. In this embodiment, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the first fan speed to quickly lower the indoor ambient temperature so that the target person can quickly be in a comfortable environment, thereby improving user comfort.

[0038] Based on the facial image obtained, the target person is identified as the second type. This type of target person needs rapid cooling or heating. However, the target person is in the growth period, and rapid cooling or heating will make the user feel uncomfortable. Based on this, this embodiment controls the air conditioner to operate at the second fan speed (medium speed). The second fan speed can lower or raise the indoor ambient temperature, but the speed is relatively slow to avoid the second type of target person feeling uncomfortable due to excessive fan speed.

[0039] Based on the facial images obtained, the target person is identified as a third type. This type of target person has certain requirements for ambient temperature, but has poor resistance. Rapid cooling or heating can easily cause colds and other illnesses, affecting the target person's health. Therefore, this embodiment controls the air conditioner to operate at the third fan speed (low speed) to lower or raise the indoor room temperature at the lowest speed, thereby adjusting the indoor ambient temperature and improving the user's comfort without affecting the target user's health.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the indoor ambient temperature is lower than the first preset temperature in cooling mode, or when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature but lower than the first preset temperature in heating mode, the air conditioner's fan speed is controlled according to the different situations of different types of users, so as to adjust the indoor environment in different scenarios and thus improve the user experience.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first wind speed is greater than the second wind speed, and the second wind speed is greater than the third wind speed, but no specific limitations are made on the first wind speed, the second wind speed, and the third wind speed.

[0042] Based on the above embodiments, further, obtaining facial images of target personnel in the room where the air conditioner is located and determining the category of the target personnel includes: receiving personal information of participants, the personal information including preset facial images and preset categories; and determining the category of the target personnel based on the facial images, preset facial images, and preset categories.

[0043] Specifically, the system sets the personal information of participants, such as inputting the facial images, gender, age, and physical condition of family members into the air conditioner, and sets a preset category corresponding to the facial images so that each participant corresponds to a preset category; it acquires facial images in the room where the air conditioner is located, compares the facial images with preset facial images to identify the target person, and finds the preset category of the target person based on the corresponding personal information, thereby determining the category of the target person.

[0044] The method for determining the preset categories in this embodiment is not specifically limited; it can be based on age or physical health status.

[0045] Based on the above embodiments, the air conditioner control method further includes: obtaining the number of target personnel in the room where the air conditioner is located; and controlling the air conditioner to operate at a first fan speed when the number is greater than or equal to a preset number and the target personnel are of the first and / or second categories.

[0046] The number of target personnel in the room where the air conditioner is located is obtained by radar or infrared, and facial images of each target personnel are obtained by camera components. The facial images are compared with preset facial images to determine the category of each target personnel. When the number of target personnel in the room where the air conditioner is located is 5, which is greater than the preset number of 3, and multiple target personnel belong to the first or second category of target personnel, there are more target personnel in the room where the air conditioner is located, and more exhaled air. In this example, the air conditioner is controlled to run at the first fan speed (high speed) to accelerate the heat exchange of the indoor environment, quickly adjust the indoor temperature, and improve the comfort of the target personnel.

[0047] If the number of target personnel in the room where the air conditioner is located is less than the preset number, and the multiple target personnel include at least two types of target personnel, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled by setting a priority.

[0048] The air conditioner is configured to control its fan speed according to the comfort levels of three types of target personnel, three types of target personnel, and three types of target personnel. In one embodiment, if there are three types of target personnel in the room where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner is controlled to control its fan speed according to the comfort level of the three types of target personnel; if there are no three types of target personnel, the air conditioner is controlled to control its fan speed according to the comfort level of the two types of target personnel. This control method improves the comfort level of the target personnel while ensuring their health.

[0049] Based on the above embodiments, the air conditioner control method further includes: when the indoor area is greater than or equal to a preset area and the target personnel are of the first and / or second category, controlling the air guide plate to follow the target personnel; when the indoor area is greater than or equal to the preset area and the target personnel are of the third category, controlling the air guide plate to avoid the target personnel; when the indoor area is less than the preset area and the target personnel are of the second and / or third category, controlling the air guide plate to avoid the target personnel; and when the indoor area is less than the preset area and the target personnel are of the first category, controlling the operation of the air guide plate according to the air conditioner's operating mode and the indoor ambient temperature.

[0050] The heat exchange effect varies depending on the room size where the air conditioner is located. In this embodiment, the operation of the air conditioner's air guide vane is controlled according to the room size to regulate the indoor temperature. When the room size is greater than or equal to the preset area, the indoor space is larger and the heat exchange is slower. In this embodiment, the operation of the air guide vane is controlled according to the category of the target personnel.

[0051] Specifically, when the indoor area is greater than or equal to the preset area, and the target personnel are of the first or second category, the target personnel have higher requirements for comfort. The air guide plate is controlled to follow the target personnel. That is, the position of the target personnel is obtained by radar, and the air guide plate follows the target personnel to exchange heat, quickly reducing or increasing the ambient temperature at the location of the target personnel, thereby improving user comfort.

[0052] When the indoor area is greater than or equal to the preset area and the target personnel are of the third category, the third category of target personnel have weak resistance and rapid cooling or heating will cause discomfort to the users. In this embodiment, the location of the third category of target personnel is obtained by radar and the air guide plate is controlled to avoid the third category of target personnel. This can quickly adjust the indoor ambient temperature while reducing the discomfort caused to the third category of target personnel by the heat exchange air.

[0053] The small indoor area allows for rapid cooling or heating. When the indoor area is smaller than the preset area, and the target personnel are in the second and / or third categories, the small indoor area means that the heat exchange air following the target personnel will cause discomfort to the user. In this embodiment, the air guide plate of the air conditioner is controlled to avoid the second and / or third categories of target personnel, so that the user can slowly cool down or heat up the indoor room temperature, thereby improving comfort.

[0054] In cases where the indoor area is smaller than the preset area and the target personnel are of the first type, in order to improve the comfort of the first type of target personnel, this embodiment controls the operation of the air guide plate according to the operating mode of the air conditioner and the indoor ambient temperature.

[0055] Furthermore, when the indoor area is smaller than the preset area and the target personnel are of the first type, the operation of the air guide plate is controlled according to the air conditioner's operating mode and the indoor ambient temperature, including: in cooling mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, or in heating mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is less than the second preset temperature, the air guide plate is controlled to follow the target personnel; in cooling mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is less than the first preset temperature, or in heating mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature and less than the first preset temperature, the air guide plate is controlled to avoid the target personnel.

[0056] When the indoor area is smaller than the preset area, the comfort experience of the first type of target personnel is different. In cooling mode, the indoor ambient temperature is 33℃, which is higher than the first preset temperature of 32℃. At this time, the indoor ambient temperature is high, and rapid cooling is required to improve the comfort of the first type of target personnel. In this embodiment, the location of the first type of target personnel is obtained by radar, and the air guide plate is controlled to follow the first type of target personnel to quickly cool down the environment in which the first type of target personnel are located, thereby improving user comfort.

[0057] In cooling mode, the indoor ambient temperature is 28°C, which is lower than the first preset temperature of 32°C. At this time, the indoor ambient temperature is not particularly high. Due to the small indoor area and fast heat exchange, the temperature can be cooled down quickly. In this embodiment, the air conditioner is controlled to avoid operating on the first type of target personnel to prevent the first type of target personnel from feeling uncomfortable due to excessively rapid cooling.

[0058] In heating mode, the indoor ambient temperature is 10℃, which is lower than the second preset temperature of 15℃. At this time, the indoor ambient temperature is low. The location of the first type of target personnel is obtained by radar, and the air guide plate is controlled to follow the first type of target personnel to make the environment where the first type of target personnel is located heat up quickly and improve user comfort.

[0059] In heating mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is 18℃, which is higher than the second preset temperature of 15℃ but lower than the first preset temperature of 32℃, the indoor ambient temperature is not particularly low. Due to the small indoor area and fast heat exchange rate, the location of the first type of target personnel is obtained through radar, and the air guide plate is controlled to avoid the first type of target personnel, thereby improving user comfort.

[0060] This embodiment rationally controls the air conditioner's fan speed and the operation of the air deflector based on the relationship between the indoor area and the preset area, the air conditioner's operating mode, the relationship between the indoor ambient temperature and the preset temperature, and the category of the target personnel. This satisfies the user's comfort while reducing the discomfort caused by the heat exchange air. This control method can control the operation of the air deflector according to the actual scenario of the target user, so that the target user is in a comfortable environment, thereby improving the user experience.

[0061] The air conditioner control method provided in this embodiment also includes: determining the target temperature of the air conditioner based on the category of the target personnel and the indoor ambient temperature.

[0062] In one embodiment, the target personnel are of the third category, and the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the first preset temperature of 32°C, so the target temperature of the air conditioner is determined to be 28°C; in another embodiment, the target personnel are of the first category, and the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the first preset temperature of 32°C, so the target temperature of the air conditioner is determined to be 26°C.
