Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air conditioning technology, and specifically relates to an air conditioning control method, device, air conditioner, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, their demands for the comfort of their living and working environments are also increasing. Traditional air conditioning systems are mostly based on fixed temperature settings, adjusting the indoor climate by the difference between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature. However, this control method cannot meet people's needs for a personalized comfortable environment, especially when there are significant changes in body humidity, such as after showering, exercising, or returning indoors after being rained on. In these situations, the user's skin humidity increases, causing traditional air conditioning systems to fail to accurately respond to the actual temperature requirements of the body, potentially making people feel cold or uncomfortable. For users with pre-existing health conditions, this can also increase the risk of catching a cold.

[0003] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of the present invention and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air conditioner control method, device, air conditioner, and storage medium to solve the problem that air conditioners in related solutions cannot be intelligently controlled according to the user's wetness status, which greatly reduces the user's comfort. The invention achieves the effect of controlling the temperature and wind speed of the air conditioner by combining the user's health status and relative wetness level, thereby improving the user's comfort when wet, having a positive impact on the user's health status, and improving the user's user experience.

[0005] The present invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising: when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, acquiring the health status and relative humidity of each user in the room; determining the user with the worst health status based on the health status and relative humidity of each user; and controlling the set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner based on the health status and humidity of the user with the worst health status.

[0007] In some implementations, controlling the set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner based on the health level and wetness level of the user with the worst health condition includes: determining the health level of the user with the worst health condition; if the user with the worst health condition is at a first health level, controlling the set temperature of the air conditioner to a first temperature; if the user with the worst health condition is at a second health level, controlling the set temperature of the air conditioner to a second temperature; if the user with the worst health condition is at a third health level, controlling the set temperature of the air conditioner to a third temperature; if the user with the worst health condition is at a fourth health level, controlling the set temperature of the air conditioner to a fourth temperature; wherein, the first... The system is structured as follows: Health Level 1 > Health Level 2 > Health Level 3 > Health Level 4, Temperature 1 < Temperature 2 < Temperature 3 < Temperature 4; and, the system determines the range of the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health condition; if the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health condition is within the first range, the airflow speed of the air conditioner is controlled to a first speed; if the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health condition is within the second range, the airflow speed of the air conditioner is controlled to a second speed; if the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health condition is within the third range, the airflow speed of the air conditioner is controlled to a third speed; if the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health condition is within the fourth range, the airflow speed of the air conditioner is controlled to a fourth speed; wherein, the first speed < the second speed < the third speed < the fourth speed.

[0008] In some implementations, the method further includes: acquiring the location information of each user whose relative wetness exceeds a relative wetness threshold; and controlling the airflow direction of the air conditioner based on the location information of each user, so that the air delivered by the air conditioner does not blow towards each user whose relative wetness exceeds the relative wetness threshold.

[0009] In conjunction with the above method, another aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner control device, comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire the health level and relative wetness level of each user in the room when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode; a control unit configured to determine the user with the worst health level based on the health level and relative wetness level of each user; the control unit is further configured to control the set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner based on the health level and wetness level of the user with the worst health level.

[0010] In some implementations, the health level is obtained from a cloud database and is used to represent the user's physical health status; the health level is calculated from the cloud database based on the user's pre-stored physiological parameters; the relative wetness level is used to represent the degree to which the user's body is wet, and is calculated based on the wet area and total body surface area of ​​each user; the control unit determines the user with the worst health level based on the health level and relative wetness level of each user, including: among all users indoors, determining all users whose relative wetness level exceeds a relative wetness level threshold based on the relative wetness level of each user; and among all users whose relative wetness level exceeds the relative wetness level threshold, determining the user with the lowest health level based on the health level of each user.

In this context, the health level is defined as follows: first health level > second health level > third health level > fourth health level; first temperature < second temperature < third temperature < fourth temperature; and the range of the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health level is determined. If the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health level is within the first range, the airflow speed of the air conditioner is controlled to be the first speed. If the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health level is within the second range, the airflow speed of the air conditioner is controlled to be the second speed. If the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health level is within the third range, the airflow speed of the air conditioner is controlled to be the third speed. If the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health level is within the fourth range, the airflow speed of the air conditioner is controlled to be the fourth speed.

[0025] 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 in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0026] According to embodiments of the present invention, an air conditioning control method is provided, such as... Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention. The air conditioner control method may include steps S110 to S130.

[0027] In step S110, when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, the health status and relative humidity level of each user in the room are obtained.

[0028] In some implementations, the health level is obtained from a cloud database and is used to represent the user's physical health status; the health level is calculated from the cloud database based on the user's pre-stored physiological parameters; the relative wetness level is used to represent the degree to which the user's body is wet, and is calculated based on the wet area and total surface area of ​​each user's body.

[0029] Relative wetness refers to the ratio of the wet area of ​​each user's body surface to the user's body surface area.

[0030] A sensor array, consisting of multiple sensors pre-deployed indoors, monitors the wet areas of each user's body surface in real time. These sensors include, but are not limited to, humidity sensors, infrared sensors, and skin moisture detectors, and can acquire accurate data on wet areas. A wet area refers to the area of ​​the human body covered by water, such as the damp area on the head after showering, or the area of ​​the body that has been wetted by rain after temporarily leaving the house. The sensors identify the area of ​​shadow cast by the human body and define that area as a water-covered area; alternatively, image recognition methods can be used to determine the water-covered area.

[0031] Simultaneously, indoor identification modules (such as cameras, RFID readers, etc.) are used to identify the identity information of each user. Physiological parameters, such as height and weight, are obtained from a database associated with the user's identity information. These physiological parameters are then used to calculate the user's total body surface area. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0032]

[0033] In the formula, BSA represents the human body surface area, measured in m². 2 H represents height in cm; W represents weight in kg.

[0034] Based on the wet area detected by the sensor and the body surface area calculated using a formula, the relative degree of wetness can be calculated. The formula is as follows:

[0035]

[0036] In the formula, RH1 represents the relative degree of wetting; A wetThe wetted area is measured in meters (m). 2 A total Total body surface area, in m² 2 .

[0037] After identifying the user through the identity verification module, the system will also retrieve the user's health status information, specifically their health level, from the cloud database. This health level is calculated as follows:

[0038] F = W i ·Q i ;

[0039] In the formula, F represents the health level; W i To assess the weighting of factors; Q i These are assessment factors. Assessment factors include age, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and medical conditions.

[0040] In step S120, the user with the worst health status is determined based on the health status and relative wetness of each user.

[0041] In some implementations, step S120 involves determining the specific process of the user with the worst health condition based on each user's health level and relative wetness, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes steps S210 to S220.

[0042] Step S210: Among all users indoors, based on the relative wetness level of each user, determine all users whose relative wetness level exceeds the relative wetness level threshold.

[0043] If no user has a relative humidity level exceeding the relative humidity threshold, the air conditioner will continue to operate in its current mode. Only if a user has a relative humidity level exceeding the relative humidity threshold will further judgment and control measures be implemented.

[0044] Optionally, in step S110, the health status of each user is not obtained. Instead, the health status of each user whose relative wetness exceeds the relative wetness threshold is obtained only after it is determined that there are users whose relative wetness exceeds the relative wetness threshold.

[0045] Step S220: Among all users whose relative wetness exceeds the relative wetness threshold, determine the user with the lowest health level based on the health level of each user.

[0046] By identifying the user with the heaviest level of condensation and the worst health among all indoor users, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled according to the user's health status and condensation level, so that the indoor environment meets the requirements of all users and improves the comfort of the indoor environment.

[0047] In step S130, the set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner are controlled based on the health status and wetness level of the user with the worst health status.

[0048] This solution monitors the relative wetness and health status of each user in real time, and controls the temperature and fan speed of the air conditioner. This not only protects the health of all users, but also ensures the comfort of the indoor environment, making the air conditioner more intelligent and greatly improving the user experience when wet, thus meeting users' requirements for the comfort of using the air conditioner.

[0049] In some implementations, step S130, the specific process of controlling the set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner based on the health status and the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health status, includes steps S310 to S350.

[0050] Step S310: Determine the health level of the user with the worst health status.

[0051] The health level is divided into four grades: "Good", "Normal", "Poor", and "Very Poor", which are denoted as F1, F2, F3, and F4 respectively. The higher the health level, the stronger the user's resistance.

[0052] Step S320: If the health level of the user with the worst health level is at the first health level, then control the set temperature of the air conditioner to the first temperature.

[0053] Step S330: If the health level of the user with the worst health level is at the second health level, then control the set temperature of the air conditioner to the second temperature.

[0054] Step S340: If the health level of the user with the worst health level is at the third health level, then control the set temperature of the air conditioner to the third temperature.

[0055] Step S350: If the health level of the user with the worst health level is at the fourth health level, then control the set temperature of the air conditioner to the fourth temperature; wherein, the first health level > the second health level > the third health level > the fourth health level, and the first temperature < the second temperature < the third temperature < the fourth temperature.

[0056] Temperatures T1, T2, T3, and T4 are all higher than the original operating temperature in cooling mode but lower than the maximum temperature in cooling mode. In other words, T1 is closest to the temperature in the current cooling mode but slightly higher. The first health level corresponds to good health level F1, the second health level to normal health level F2, the third health level to poor health level F3, and the fourth health level to very poor health level F4.

[0057] In some embodiments, step S130, which involves controlling the set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner based on the health status and wetness of the user with the worst health status, further includes steps S410 to S450.

[0058] Step S410: Determine the range of the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health.

[0059] The degree of wetness can be divided into four levels: "extremely high", "high", "medium" and "low", denoted as H1, H2, H3 and H4 respectively.

[0060] Step S420: If the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health is within the first range, then control the air supply speed of the air conditioner to the first wind speed.

[0061] Step S430: If the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health is within the second range, then control the air supply speed of the air conditioner to the second speed.

[0062] Step S440: If the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health is in the third range, then control the air supply speed of the air conditioner to the third speed.

[0063] Step S450: If the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health is in the fourth range, then control the air supply speed of the air conditioner to the fourth speed; wherein, the first speed < the second speed < the third speed < the fourth speed.

[0064] The first wind speed V1, the second wind speed V2, the third wind speed V3, and the fourth wind speed V4 are all lower than the wind speed in the original cooling mode. That is, V4 is closest to the wind speed in the current cooling mode but slightly lower. The first range corresponds to ultra-high humidity level H1, the second range corresponds to high humidity level H2, the third range corresponds to medium humidity level H3, and the fourth range corresponds to low humidity level H4.

[0065] Increasing the airflow speed of an air conditioner accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the user's skin, further lowering their body temperature and making them more susceptible to colds. The lower a user's health level, the higher their risk of catching a cold. Therefore, to balance the user's health and the comfort of the indoor environment, if the user is in good health and relatively wet, indicating a low risk of catching a cold, the temperature and airflow speed can be slightly adjusted or kept constant to ensure comfort in the room during summer. Conversely, if the user is in poor health and relatively wet, indicating a high risk of catching a cold, the air conditioner's set temperature should be increased while the airflow speed is decreased to ensure the user's health.

[0066] In some embodiments, the control amount of the air conditioner's set temperature and airflow speed is controlled according to the user's health status and relative humidity level, as shown in Table 1. Wherein, T1 <T2<T3<T4,V1<V2<V3<V4。

[0067] Health status / Relative wetness Low(H4) (H3) High (H2) Ultra-high (H1) Good (F1) T1, V4 T1, V3 T1, V2 T1, V1 Normal (F2) T2, V4 T2, V3 T2, V2 T2, V1 Poor (F3) T3, V4 T3, V3 T3, V2 T3, V1 Bad (F4) T4, V4 T4, V3 T4, V2 T4, V1

[0068] Table 1

[0069] If the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is low, the air conditioner's set temperature is T4 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V4; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is medium, the air conditioner's set temperature is T4 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V3; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T4 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V2; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is very high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T4 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V1.

[0070] If the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is low, the air conditioner's set temperature is T3 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V4; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is medium, the air conditioner's set temperature is T3 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V3; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T3 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V2; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is very high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T3 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V1.

[0071] If the user's health level is normal and the relative humidity level is low, the air conditioner's set temperature is T2 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V4; if the user's health level is normal and the relative humidity level is medium, the air conditioner's set temperature is T2 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V3; if the user's health level is normal and the relative humidity level is high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T2 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V2; if the user's health level is normal and the relative humidity level is very high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T2 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V1.

[0072] If the user's health is good and the relative humidity is low, the air conditioner's set temperature is T1 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V4; if the user's health is good and the relative humidity is medium, the air conditioner's set temperature is T1 and the airflow speed is V3; if the user's health is good and the relative humidity is high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T1 and the airflow speed is V2; if the user's health is good and the relative humidity is very high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T1 and the airflow speed is V1.

[0073] By gradually adjusting the air conditioner's set temperature and fan speed, the risk of users catching a cold is reduced while ensuring the comfort of the indoor environment, which has a positive impact on each user and provides a highly personalized comfort experience.

[0074] In some embodiments, the control method further includes a process for controlling the airflow direction of the air conditioner. This process is specifically as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes steps S510 and S520.

[0075] Step S510: Obtain the location information of each user whose relative wetness exceeds the relative wetness threshold.

[0076] Step S520: Based on the location information of each user, control the airflow direction of the air conditioner so that the air delivered by the air conditioner does not blow towards each user whose relative wetness exceeds the relative wetness threshold.

[0077] After identifying all users whose relative humidity exceeds the relative humidity threshold, the airflow direction is adjusted based on each user's location. If the air conditioner is detected blowing air directly at any of these users, the airflow direction is adjusted. The adjustable upper and lower air deflectors allow the airflow to reach its maximum upward angle, preventing cold air from blowing directly at any user. If the air conditioner is detected not blowing air directly at any of these users, the airflow direction is not adjusted.

[0078] After controlling the air conditioner's set temperature, fan speed, and airflow direction, the relative humidity of each user exceeding a certain threshold is continuously monitored. Once all users' relative humidity levels have decreased below the threshold, the air conditioner continues to operate at the current set temperature, fan speed, and airflow direction for a period of time. If, after this period, all users' relative humidity levels have again decreased below the threshold, the air conditioner returns to its initial operating state. Since a decrease in a user's relative humidity may be temporary, especially during the recovery period after an activity, reassessing after a period ensures that users receive sufficient dryness and recovery, thereby reducing health risks caused by rapid environmental changes.

[0079] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the air conditioning control method of the present invention, which combines the user's relative humidity level and health level. Figure 5 As shown, the method of the present invention includes:

[0080] Step 1: When the air conditioner is running normally in cooling mode, it detects the wet area of ​​all users' bodies and their identity information. Based on the identity information, it determines the total body surface area of ​​each user and calculates the relative wetness of all users.

[0081] Step 2: Determine whether the relative wetness level of each user in the room is greater than a preset threshold. If the relative wetness level of all users is not greater than the preset threshold, the air conditioner will continue to operate in its current state; if there is a user whose relative wetness level is greater than the preset threshold, proceed to Step 3.

[0082] Step 3: Identify the identities of all users whose relative wetness exceeds a preset threshold, retrieve the health level information corresponding to the user's identity from the cloud database, and filter out the users with the lowest health level.

[0083] Step 4: Adjust the air conditioner's temperature and fan speed based on the health level and relative humidity of the user with the lowest health level. The higher the health level, the smaller the temperature adjustment; the lower the relative humidity, the smaller the fan speed adjustment. Simultaneously, adjust the air conditioner's airflow direction based on the location of all users with relative humidity exceeding a preset threshold, ensuring the airflow doesn't blow directly at any individual user.

[0084] Step 5: Continuously monitor the relative wetness of all users whose relative wetness is greater than the preset threshold, and determine whether it is below the preset threshold. If the relative wetness of all users decreases below the preset threshold, the air conditioner is restored to its initial operating state after t minutes; if there are still users whose relative wetness is higher than the preset threshold, the air conditioner is controlled again.

[0085] By employing the technical solution of this embodiment, when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, the user with the worst health condition is identified based on the health status and relative humidity of each user in the room. The set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner are then controlled according to the health status and relative humidity of the user with the worst health condition. Thus, by combining the user's health status and relative humidity to control the air conditioner's temperature and airflow speed, the comfort of the indoor environment is improved, user health is protected, and users have a good user experience even when wet.

[0086] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner control device corresponding to an air conditioner control method is also provided. See also Figure 4 The diagram shows a structural schematic of an embodiment of the device of the present invention. The control device for the air conditioner may include: an acquisition unit 102 and a control unit 104.

[0087] The acquisition unit 102 is configured to acquire the health status and relative humidity level of each user in the room when the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode. The specific functions and processing of the acquisition unit 102 are described in step S110.

[0088] In some implementations, the health level is obtained from a cloud database and is used to represent the user's physical health status; the health level is calculated from the cloud database based on the user's pre-stored physiological parameters; the relative wetness level is used to represent the degree to which the user's body is wet, and is calculated based on the wet area and total surface area of ​​each user's body.

[0089] Relative wetness refers to the ratio of the wet area of ​​each user's body surface to the user's body surface area.

[0090] A sensor array, consisting of multiple sensors pre-deployed indoors, monitors the wet areas of each user's body surface in real time. These sensors include, but are not limited to, humidity sensors, infrared sensors, and skin moisture detectors, and can acquire accurate data on wet areas. A wet area refers to the area of ​​the human body covered by water, such as the damp area on the head after showering, or the area of ​​the body that has been wetted by rain after temporarily leaving the house. The sensors identify the area of ​​shadow cast by the human body and define that area as a water-covered area; alternatively, image recognition methods can be used to determine the water-covered area.

[0091] Simultaneously, indoor identification modules (such as cameras, RFID readers, etc.) are used to identify the identity information of each user. Physiological parameters, such as height and weight, are obtained from a database associated with the user's identity information. These physiological parameters are then used to calculate the user's total body surface area. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0092]

[0093] In the formula, BSA represents the human body surface area, measured in m². 2 H represents height in cm; W represents weight in kg.

[0094] Based on the wet area detected by the sensor and the body surface area calculated using a formula, the relative degree of wetness can be calculated. The formula is as follows:

[0095]

[0096] In the formula, RH1 represents the relative degree of wetting; A wet The wetted area is measured in meters (m). 2 A total Total body surface area, in m² 2 .

[0097] After identifying the user through the identity verification module, the system will also retrieve the user's health status information, specifically their health level, from the cloud database. This health level is calculated as follows:

[0098] F = W i ·Q i ;

[0099] In the formula, F represents the health level; W i To assess the weighting of factors; Q i These are assessment factors. Assessment factors include age, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and medical conditions.

[0100] Control unit 104 is configured to determine the user with the worst health status based on each user's health status and relative wetness. The specific functions and processing of control unit 104 are described in step S120.

[0101] In some implementations, the control unit 104 determines the user with the worst health status based on each user's health status and relative wetness, including:

[0102] The control unit 104 is further configured to, among all users indoors, identify all users whose relative wetness exceeds a relative wetness threshold based on the relative wetness level of each user. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S210.

[0103] If no user has a relative humidity level exceeding the relative humidity threshold, the air conditioner will continue to operate in its current mode. Only if a user has a relative humidity level exceeding the relative humidity threshold will further judgment and control measures be implemented.

[0104] Optionally, in step S110, the health status of each user is not obtained. Instead, the health status of each user whose relative wetness exceeds the relative wetness threshold is obtained only after it is determined that there are users whose relative wetness exceeds the relative wetness threshold.

[0105] The control unit 104 is further configured to, among all users whose relative wetness exceeds a relative wetness threshold, determine the user with the lowest health level based on each user's health status. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S220.

[0106] By identifying the user with the heaviest level of condensation and the worst health among all indoor users, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled according to the user's health status and condensation level, so that the indoor environment meets the requirements of all users and improves the comfort of the indoor environment.

[0107] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner based on the health level and the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health level. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S130.

[0108] This solution monitors the relative wetness and health status of each user in real time, and controls the temperature and fan speed of the air conditioner. This not only protects the health of all users, but also ensures the comfort of the indoor environment, making the air conditioner more intelligent and greatly improving the user experience when wet, thus meeting users' requirements for the comfort of using the air conditioner.

[0109] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 controls the set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner based on the health status and wetness level of the user with the worst health status, including:

[0110] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine the health level of the user with the worst health condition. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S310.

[0111] The health level is divided into four grades: "Good", "Normal", "Poor", and "Very Poor", which are denoted as F1, F2, F3, and F4 respectively. The higher the health level, the stronger the user's resistance.

[0112] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner to set the temperature to the first temperature if the health level of the user with the worst health is at the first health level. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S320.

[0113] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner to set the temperature to the second temperature if the health level of the user with the worst health is at the second health level. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S330.

[0114] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner to set the temperature to the third health level if the health level of the user with the worst health level is at the third health level. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S340.

[0115] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner to set the temperature to the fourth health level if the health level of the user with the worst health level is at the fourth health level; wherein, the first health level > the second health level > the third health level > the fourth health level, and the first temperature < the second temperature < the third temperature < the fourth temperature. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S350.

[0116] Temperatures T1, T2, T3, and T4 are all higher than the original operating temperature in cooling mode but lower than the maximum temperature in cooling mode. In other words, T1 is closest to the temperature in the current cooling mode but slightly higher. The first health level corresponds to good health level F1, the second health level to normal health level F2, the third health level to poor health level F3, and the fourth health level to very poor health level F4.

[0117] In some embodiments, the control unit 104, based on the health status and the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health status, controls the set temperature and airflow speed of the air conditioner, and further includes:

[0118] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine the range of wetness levels of the user with the worst health condition. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S410.

[0119] The degree of wetness can be divided into four levels: "extremely high", "high", "medium" and "low", denoted as H1, H2, H3 and H4 respectively.

[0120] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner's airflow speed to a first speed if the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health is within a first range. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S420.

[0121] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner's airflow speed to a second speed if the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health is within a second range. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S430.

[0122] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner's airflow speed to the third speed if the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health is within the third range. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S440.

[0123] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner's airflow speed to a fourth speed if the degree of wetness of the user with the worst health is within a fourth range; wherein the first speed < the second speed < the third speed < the fourth speed. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S450.

[0124] The first wind speed V1, the second wind speed V2, the third wind speed V3, and the fourth wind speed V4 are all lower than the wind speed in the original cooling mode. That is, V4 is closest to the wind speed in the current cooling mode but slightly lower. The first range corresponds to ultra-high humidity level H1, the second range corresponds to high humidity level H2, the third range corresponds to medium humidity level H3, and the fourth range corresponds to low humidity level H4.

[0125] Increasing the airflow speed of an air conditioner accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the user's skin, further lowering their body temperature and making them more susceptible to colds. The lower a user's health level, the higher their risk of catching a cold. Therefore, to balance the user's health and the comfort of the indoor environment, if the user is in good health and relatively wet, indicating a low risk of catching a cold, the temperature and airflow speed can be slightly adjusted or kept constant to ensure comfort in the room during summer. Conversely, if the user is in poor health and relatively wet, indicating a high risk of catching a cold, the air conditioner's set temperature should be increased while the airflow speed is decreased to ensure the user's health.

[0126] In some embodiments, the control amount of the air conditioner's set temperature and airflow speed is controlled according to the user's health status and relative humidity level, as shown in Table 1. Wherein, T1 <T2<T3<T4,V1<V2<V3<V4。

[0127] Health status / Relative wetness Low(H4) (H3) High (H2) Ultra-high (H1) Good (F1) T1, V4 T1, V3 T1, V2 T1, V1 Normal (F2) T2, V4 T2, V3 T2, V2 T2, V1 Poor (F3) T3, V4 T3, V3 T3, V2 T3, V1 Bad (F4) T4, V4 T4, V3 T4, V2 T4, V1

[0128] Table 1

[0129] If the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is low, the air conditioner's set temperature is T4 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V4; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is medium, the air conditioner's set temperature is T4 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V3; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T4 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V2; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is very high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T4 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V1.

[0130] If the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is low, the air conditioner's set temperature is T3 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V4; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is medium, the air conditioner's set temperature is T3 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V3; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T3 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V2; if the user's health level is poor and the relative humidity level is very high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T3 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V1.

[0131] If the user's health level is normal and the relative humidity level is low, the air conditioner's set temperature is T2 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V4; if the user's health level is normal and the relative humidity level is medium, the air conditioner's set temperature is T2 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V3; if the user's health level is normal and the relative humidity level is high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T2 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V2; if the user's health level is normal and the relative humidity level is very high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T2 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V1.

[0132] If the user's health is good and the relative humidity is low, the air conditioner's set temperature is T1 and the air conditioner's airflow speed is V4; if the user's health is good and the relative humidity is medium, the air conditioner's set temperature is T1 and the airflow speed is V3; if the user's health is good and the relative humidity is high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T1 and the airflow speed is V2; if the user's health is good and the relative humidity is very high, the air conditioner's set temperature is T1 and the airflow speed is V1.

[0133] By gradually adjusting the air conditioner's set temperature and fan speed, the risk of users catching a cold is reduced while ensuring the comfort of the indoor environment, which has a positive impact on each user and provides a highly personalized comfort experience.

[0134] In some embodiments, the control device further includes:

[0135] The acquisition unit 102 is further configured to acquire the location information of each user whose relative wetness exceeds a relative wetness threshold. The specific functions and processing of the acquisition unit 102 are described in step S510.

[0136] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the airflow direction of the air conditioner based on the location information of each user, so that the air delivered by the air conditioner does not blow towards any user whose relative humidity exceeds a relative humidity threshold. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S520.

[0137] After identifying all users whose relative humidity exceeds the relative humidity threshold, the airflow direction is adjusted based on each user's location. If the air conditioner is detected blowing air directly at any of these users, the airflow direction is adjusted. The adjustable upper and lower air deflectors allow the airflow to reach its maximum upward angle, preventing cold air from blowing directly at any user. If the air conditioner is detected not blowing air directly at any of these users, the airflow direction is not adjusted.

[0138] After controlling the air conditioner's set temperature, fan speed, and airflow direction, the relative humidity of each user exceeding a certain threshold is continuously monitored. Once all users' relative humidity levels have decreased below the threshold, the air conditioner continues to operate at the current set temperature, fan speed, and airflow direction for a period of time. If, after this period, all users' relative humidity levels have again decreased below the threshold, the air conditioner returns to its initial operating state. Since a decrease in a user's relative humidity may be temporary, especially during the recovery period after an activity, reassessing after a period ensures that users receive sufficient dryness and recovery, thereby reducing health risks caused by rapid environmental changes.

[0139] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the air conditioning control method of the present invention, which combines the user's relative humidity level and health level. Figure 5 As shown, the method of the present invention includes:

[0140] Step 1: When the air conditioner is running normally in cooling mode, it detects the wet area of ​​all users' bodies and their identity information. Based on the identity information, it determines the total body surface area of ​​each user and calculates the relative wetness of all users.

[0141] Step 2: Determine whether the relative wetness level of each user in the room is greater than a preset threshold. If the relative wetness level of all users is not greater than the preset threshold, the air conditioner will continue to operate in its current state; if there is a user whose relative wetness level is greater than the preset threshold, proceed to Step 3.

[0142] Step 3: Identify the identities of all users whose relative wetness exceeds a preset threshold, retrieve the health level information corresponding to the user's identity from the cloud database, and filter out the users with the lowest health level.

[0143] Step 4: Adjust the air conditioner's temperature and fan speed based on the health level and relative humidity of the user with the lowest health level. The higher the health level, the smaller the temperature adjustment; the lower the relative humidity, the smaller the fan speed adjustment. Simultaneously, adjust the air conditioner's airflow direction based on the location of all users with relative humidity exceeding a preset threshold, ensuring the airflow doesn't blow directly at any individual user.

[0144] Step 5: Continuously monitor the relative wetness of all users whose relative wetness is greater than the preset threshold, and determine whether it is below the preset threshold. If the relative wetness of all users decreases below the preset threshold, the air conditioner is restored to its initial operating state after t minutes; if there are still users whose relative wetness is higher than the preset threshold, the air conditioner is controlled again.
