Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0049] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, an intelligent air conditioning control method is provided. This intelligent air conditioning control method is widely used in whole-house intelligent digital control application scenarios such as smart homes, smart home ecosystems, smart home device ecosystems, and smart house ecosystems. Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned intelligent air conditioning control method can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The hardware environment shown consists of terminal device 102 and server 104. For example... Figure 1 As shown, server 104 is connected to terminal device 102 via a network and can be used to provide services (such as application services) to the terminal or clients installed on the terminal. A database can be set up on the server or independently of the server to provide data storage services for server 104. Cloud computing and / or edge computing services can be configured on the server or independently of the server to provide data processing services for server 104.

The aforementioned wired network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: wide area network, metropolitan area network, local area network. The aforementioned wireless network may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth.

[0051] In home plant care, users need to possess certain knowledge of flower cultivation and understand the characteristics of plants in order to determine the appropriate watering time, frequency, and amount. However, when users are away from home for extended periods, they cannot water the plants at the correct times, which can easily lead to plant death. Furthermore, homemade simple watering devices cannot provide the appropriate amount of water for different plant species, and their limited water capacity cannot provide the necessary irrigation water for extended periods.

[0052] This application detects environmental data of plants, such as the water content in the soil. When the soil moisture content is lower than the plant's requirements, it utilizes the condensate generated during the cooling process of an existing smart air conditioner as irrigation water. For example, by turning on the cooling mode of the smart air conditioner, condensate is generated, and a portion of the condensate is introduced into the soil through a T-connector at the condensate pipe. This achieves automatic soil moisture management, eliminating the limitation of the amount of water in a homemade container. It should be noted that the smart air conditioning control method provided in this application can achieve automatic plant care even when no one is home; it can also provide automated personalized care for different types of plants when the user has no time to manage them, simply by providing relevant plant information (such as plant name, plant growth cycle, etc.). In addition, the intelligent air conditioning control method provided in this application can also be used in some smart home devices with water storage functions. These smart devices can replenish water themselves when the water storage is reduced. For example, in the water tank of a smart dishwasher, when the water level in the tank decreases, a water source connected to the tank through a connector can replenish the water tank. When it is determined that the plants need to be watered, a control valve opening command can be generated to open the valve of the water supply pipe between the smart home device and the plant, so as to water the plants.

[0053] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating the intelligent air conditioning control method provided in this application is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an intelligent air conditioning control method, including:

[0054] Step 201: Obtain real-time environmental data of the target plant;

[0055] In this application, an AIOT platform, which combines Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), is used to collect various plant data in real time through various sensors, and then the collected data is intelligently analyzed. In this application, smart home devices have a self-generating water function or the devices themselves have a water storage device connected to an external water source. When the water level in the storage device decreases, it can automatically replenish the water. For example, a smart refrigerator's cold water dispenser connects an external water source to the cold water dispenser's storage tank via a water pipe. The water pipe also has a T-junction with a valve, which is used to control the opening and closing of the valve to water the plants.

[0056] In one embodiment, a smart air conditioner is used as a smart home device to provide irrigation water. A three-way valve installed at the condenser pipe of the smart air conditioner allows a portion of the condensate to be introduced into the soil of the target plant during cooling mode. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a soil moisture sensor is installed at the plant soil to collect real-time soil moisture (i.e., soil water content) and upload it as environmental data to the AIoT platform. It should be noted that in this application, the AIoT platform acts as the executing entity, acquiring real-time environmental data of the target plant, intelligently analyzing this data, and issuing corresponding control commands to control the smart air conditioner.

[0057] Step 202: If the real-time environmental data does not match the preset environmental data, obtain the irrigation water volume range value corresponding to the target plant;

[0058] In this application, real-time environmental data is analyzed based on an AIOT platform. Taking soil moisture as an example, when the current soil moisture is less than or equal to the preset soil moisture, the environmental data at this time does not match the preset environmental data. The AIOT platform determines that the target plant is in a water-deficient state. At this time, a range value is determined based on the difference between the soil moisture and the preset soil moisture (there is a pre-set mapping relationship between this range value and the difference value. For example, the difference value also has a range value, which can be understood as the difference range value. When the calculated difference values ​​are all within a certain difference range value, the target irrigation water range value can be obtained based on the mapping relationship between the difference range value and the preset irrigation water range value). This is the irrigation water range value, so that subsequent steps can use this irrigation water range value to generate a control signal to control the smart air conditioner to produce the corresponding amount of condensate.

[0059] Step 203: Generate an irrigation water volume control command based on the irrigation water volume range value, and send the irrigation water volume control command to the target smart air conditioner so that the target smart air conditioner can deliver the corresponding condensate water volume to the target plant according to the irrigation water volume control command.

[0060] In this application, when the soil moisture is lower than the preset environmental data, the AIOT platform will send a cooling mode start command to the smart air conditioner according to the range of irrigation water required by the target plant, so that the condensate generated by the smart air conditioner during cooling is delivered to the target plant through a valve; when the soil moisture uploaded by the humidity sensor to the AIOT platform is greater than the preset environmental data, the AIOT platform will send a shutdown command to the smart air conditioner again, thereby stopping the generation of condensate.

[0061] The intelligent air conditioning control method provided in this application analyzes the environmental data of plants and controls existing intelligent air conditioners, thereby using the condensate generated by the intelligent air conditioner itself to irrigate the plants. This method enables plants to remain in a suitable state even when they are left unattended for a long time, without being limited by water volume, thus improving the survival rate of the plants.

[0062] Based on the above embodiments, the acquisition of real-time environmental data of the target plant includes:

[0063] Based on the soil moisture content of the target plant collected by the humidity sensor, real-time environmental data of the target plant is obtained.

[0064] In this application, a humidity sensor can be installed in the soil of a plant pot to obtain the environmental status that best reflects the current state of the plant. Based on the soil moisture, it can be analyzed whether the target plant needs additional watering or should remain as is.

[0065] Based on the above embodiments, after acquiring the real-time environmental data of the target plant, the method further includes:

[0066] Determine the plant species information of the target plant;

[0067] Based on the plant species information, obtain the preset lower limit value of soil moisture corresponding to the target plant;

[0068] When the real-time environmental data does not match the preset environmental data, obtaining the irrigation water volume range value corresponding to the target plant includes:

[0069] When the soil moisture content is less than or equal to the preset lower limit of soil moisture, it is determined that there is a mismatch between the real-time environmental data and the preset environmental data, and the difference between the soil moisture content and the preset lower limit of soil moisture is obtained.

[0070] Based on the mapping relationship between the difference and the preset irrigation water volume range, the irrigation water volume range corresponding to the difference is obtained.

[0071] Because the watering time, frequency, and amount vary significantly for each plant, and the watering method also differs for the same plant at different growth stages, this application determines the plant species information. After obtaining information such as the target plant type (e.g., succulents, flowers) and growth stage, a big data platform is used to obtain the preferred lower limit of soil moisture for that target plant, i.e., the preset lower limit of soil moisture. In one embodiment, a preset upper limit of soil moisture for the target plant can also be obtained through the big data platform. This allows the AIoT platform to generate a corresponding smart air conditioner shutdown command when the soil moisture of the target plant exceeds the preset upper limit, thereby stopping the production of condensate.

[0072] Based on the above embodiments, after obtaining the irrigation water volume range value corresponding to the difference based on the mapping relationship between the difference and the preset irrigation water volume range value, the method further includes:

[0073] Based on a temperature sensor, the ambient temperature value of the environment in which the target plant is located is collected;

[0074] Based on a light intensity sensor, light intensity data of the environment in which the target plant is located is collected;

[0075] Based on the plant species information, soil moisture content, ambient temperature value, and light intensity data, the irrigation water volume range value is adjusted to obtain the adjusted irrigation water volume range value.

[0076] The step of generating irrigation water volume control instructions based on the irrigation water volume range includes:

[0077] Based on the adjusted irrigation water volume range, an irrigation water volume control instruction corresponding to the target plant is generated.

[0078] In this application, other environmental data of the target plants also need to be considered to provide more precise irrigation water amounts. Different plants have different temperature adaptability; the irrigation water requirements of some plants will change under high or low temperatures. Light intensity is an indispensable condition for plant photosynthesis; light intensity at different times and seasons not only affects the morphology and structure of plants but also their water requirements. Therefore, this application combines plant species information, soil moisture content, ambient temperature, and light intensity data to adjust the initially obtained irrigation water range, making the adjusted irrigation water amount more consistent with the actual environment of the plants.

[0079] Based on the above embodiments, after generating the irrigation water control instruction corresponding to the target plant according to the adjusted irrigation water range value, the method further includes:

[0080] Obtain real-time irrigation progress data of the target smart air conditioner;

[0081] Based on the soil moisture content, plant species information, ambient temperature value, light intensity data, and real-time irrigation progress data, corresponding real-time irrigation display information for plants is generated.

[0082] The real-time irrigation information of the plants is sent to the user terminal so that the real-time irrigation information of the plants can be displayed on the display device of the user terminal.

[0083] In this application, when users are away from home, a personalized display function can be provided to allow users to intuitively obtain the real-time status of the plants at home, thereby improving the user experience.

[0084] Based on the above embodiments, the step of generating irrigation water volume control instructions according to the irrigation water volume range includes:

[0085] The irrigation water production duration is determined based on the range of irrigation water volume.

[0086] Based on the irrigation water production time, an irrigation water volume control command corresponding to the target smart air conditioner is generated.

[0087] For some smart home devices with water storage devices, the valve opening duration of the water storage device in these smart home devices can be determined according to the irrigation water volume range, and the irrigation water volume control command corresponding to the target smart home device can be generated according to the valve opening duration.

[0088] In this application, the AIoT platform generates corresponding irrigation water control instructions based on different types of smart home appliances. This avoids the problem of erroneous instructions preventing the plants from receiving irrigation water. For example, for smart air conditioners that produce condensate, the AIoT platform typically generates instructions to turn the air conditioner on or off. However, for smart refrigerators that are constantly on, the AIoT platform primarily controls the opening and closing of the three-way valve leading to the drinking water in the smart water tank, rather than turning the refrigerator on or off, thus achieving a more intelligent plant care process. In this application, a valve can be installed on the condensate pipe of the smart air conditioner. By adjusting the valve's opening degree, different volumes of condensate from the air conditioner can be used to irrigate the plants.

[0089] Based on the above embodiments, after generating an irrigation water volume control command according to the irrigation water volume range value and sending the irrigation water volume control command to the target smart air conditioner, the method includes:

[0090] Once the real-time environmental data of the target plant exceeds the preset environmental data, a smart air conditioner shutdown command is generated.

[0091] The intelligent air conditioner shutdown command is sent to the target intelligent air conditioner, so that the target intelligent air conditioner can stop supplying condensate to the target plant according to the intelligent air conditioner shutdown command;

[0092] If no irrigation water stop information is received from the target smart air conditioner within a preset time period, an early warning message will be generated.

[0093] In this application, when the soil moisture required by the target plant meets the preset environmental data, a corresponding shutdown command can be generated for the smart air conditioner. To prevent water accumulation in the home due to the inability to shut off the irrigation process when the smart air conditioner malfunctions, this application sends a warning message to the user terminal if no irrigation water stop information is received from the smart air conditioner within a preset time period, reminding the user to shut down the device by other means, such as remotely turning off the power to the smart air conditioner.

[0094] In one embodiment, the intelligent air conditioning control method provided in this application is described in its entirety. In this embodiment, when a user is about to go on a long trip, they can first open the three-way valve of the intelligent air conditioner's condensate drain pipe, allowing the condensate generated by the intelligent air conditioner to be transported to the plant's soil through the pipe from the three-way valve to the plant.

[0095] Furthermore, users can access plant care-related apps on mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets), open the plant watering and care function, and select the corresponding plant name and growth stage. The mobile device then uploads the plant information to a big data platform. Based on the user-selected plant name and growth stage, the platform retrieves the plant's preferred soil moisture limits—its upper and lower limits—i.e., the plant's preset environmental data, and sends this information to the AIoT platform.

[0096] Furthermore, soil moisture sensors installed at the plant's soil surface monitor soil moisture and upload the data to the AIoT platform. The AIoT platform analyzes the target environment based on the data from different sensors and generates corresponding control commands for the smart air conditioner. For example, if the soil moisture is below a suitable value, the AIoT platform instructs the smart air conditioner to turn on cooling, causing it to produce condensate, which then flows into the plant soil through a three-way valve. When the soil moisture sensor detects that the soil moisture is above a suitable value and uploads this information to the AIoT platform, the platform instructs the smart air conditioner to turn off, stopping condensate production.

[0097] This application uses an AIOT platform to automatically control the operation of a smart air conditioner, thereby generating condensate to control the humidity of the plant soil, and can ensure that the soil humidity of the plant remains at a suitable level even when the plant is left unattended for a long time.

[0098] The intelligent air conditioning control system provided in this application is described below. The intelligent air conditioning control system described below can be referred to in correspondence with the intelligent air conditioning control method described above.

[0099] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the intelligent air conditioning control system provided in this application is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, this application provides an intelligent air conditioning control system, including an environmental data acquisition module 301, a processing module 302, and a control module 303. The environmental data acquisition module 301 acquires real-time environmental data of the target plant. The processing module 302 determines the irrigation water volume range corresponding to the target plant when the real-time environmental data does not match preset environmental data. The control module 303 generates an irrigation water volume control command based on the irrigation water volume range and sends the command to the target intelligent air conditioner, so that the target intelligent air conditioner can deliver the corresponding condensate water to the target plant according to the irrigation water volume control command.

[0100] In this application, based on the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIOT) platform, the environmental data acquisition module 301 acquires various plant data in real time through various sensors, and then the processing module 302 performs intelligent analysis on the acquired data. In this application, the smart home device has a self-generating water function or the device itself has a water storage device connected to an external water source. When the water level in the storage device decreases, it can automatically replenish the water. For example, in a smart refrigerator's cold water dispenser, the external water source is connected to the cold water dispenser's water tank through a water pipe. A three-way connector with a valve is also provided at the water pipe, and watering of the plants is achieved through this three-way connector and the opening and closing of the valve.

[0101] In one embodiment, a smart air conditioner is used as a smart home device to provide irrigation water. A three-way valve installed at the condensate pipe of the smart air conditioner allows a portion of the condensate to be introduced into the soil of the target plant during the air conditioner's cooling mode. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a soil moisture sensor is installed at the plant soil, and the environmental data acquisition module 301 acquires the real-time soil moisture data of the target plant uploaded by the soil moisture sensor.

[0102] Furthermore, the control module 302 analyzes the real-time environmental data. Taking soil moisture as an example, if the current soil moisture is less than or equal to the preset soil moisture, then the current environmental data does not match the preset environmental data. The control module 302 determines that the target plant is in a water-deficient state. At this time, it will determine a range value based on the difference between the soil moisture and the preset soil moisture, that is, the irrigation water volume range value, so that subsequent steps can use this irrigation water volume range value to generate a control signal to control the intelligent air conditioner to produce the corresponding amount of condensate water.

[0103] Furthermore, when the soil moisture is lower than the preset environmental data, the control module 303 sends a cooling mode start command to the smart air conditioner according to the irrigation water range required by the target plant. This causes the condensate generated by the smart air conditioner during cooling to be delivered to the target plant through a valve. When the soil moisture uploaded by the humidity sensor to the AIOT platform is greater than the preset environmental data, the control module 303 sends a shutdown command to the smart air conditioner again, thereby stopping the generation of condensate. It should be noted that the environmental data acquisition module 301, processing module 302, and control module 303 of this application are all located on the AIOT platform.

[0104] The automatic plant care system provided in this application analyzes the environmental data of the plants and controls the existing smart air conditioner. It then uses the condensate generated by the smart air conditioner to irrigate the plants, ensuring that the plants remain in a suitable condition even when they are left unattended for a long time, without being limited by water volume, thereby improving the plant survival rate.

[0105] Based on the above embodiments, the environmental data acquisition module includes a soil moisture data acquisition unit, which is used to acquire real-time environmental data of the target plant based on the soil moisture content of the target plant collected by the humidity sensor.

[0106] Based on the above embodiments, the system further includes a plant type information acquisition module and a plant preference information acquisition module, wherein the plant type information acquisition module is used to determine the plant species information of the target plant; the plant preference information acquisition module is used to obtain a preset soil moisture lower limit value corresponding to the target plant based on the plant species information.

[0107] The processing module is also used for:
