Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0049] This invention provides an air conditioning control method, apparatus, air conditioner, and computer-readable storage medium.
[0050] Specifically, this embodiment will be described from the perspective of the air conditioner control device, which can be integrated into the air conditioner. That is, the air conditioner control method of this embodiment can be executed by the air conditioner.
[0051] The following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, an air conditioner is used as the executing entity. It should be noted that the order of description in the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments. Although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0052] According to the background art description of the present invention, users may not be able to complete the operation of setting the temperature. For example, young children, the elderly, etc., or users may misjudge or misoperate the temperature that is comfortable for them, and incorrectly set the air conditioner temperature, so that the air conditioner cannot accurately adjust to the ambient temperature suitable for the user, resulting in low accuracy of air conditioner temperature control.
[0053] To address the above problems, this invention discloses a method for controlling an air conditioner. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 The specific flow of the air conditioner control method can be summarized in steps S10 to S30, wherein:
[0054] Step S10: Obtain the skin conductivity information of the target object;
[0055] The target object is an organism with biological characteristics within the associated space of the air conditioner;
[0056] In this embodiment, the air conditioner includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. Both the indoor and outdoor units have heat exchangers, in which the refrigerant exchanges heat with the external environment to affect its temperature. The external environment or associated functional space where the indoor unit is located can be the associated space of the air conditioner. The heat exchange capacity of the indoor unit can be used to adjust the temperature of the associated space to achieve a temperature control effect. To improve the temperature control effect, the environment corresponding to the associated space is relatively enclosed. For example, the outdoor unit is installed outside the room, and the indoor unit is installed inside the room. The indoor environment of the room where the indoor unit is located is the associated space. The target object within the associated space is affected by its ambient temperature and can be the service object of the air conditioner. Generally, the service object of the air conditioner is the user, and the target object within the associated space can also refer to the user. The target object can be a human body or other organism with biological characteristics such as exposed skin within the associated space of the air conditioner. The skin may contain sweat glands; for example, there are more than three million sweat glands in human skin, which are more prominently distributed on the palms, fingers, and soles of the feet. When the body is stimulated by hot or cold temperatures, the blood vessels in the skin constrict or dilate, activating the sweat glands and causing them to secrete sweat that seeps onto the skin surface. The salt ions in the sweat alter the skin's conductivity, resulting in a measurable change in skin conductivity. Real-time skin conductivity information of a target object within an air-conditioned space can be collected using devices with skin conductivity acquisition capabilities, such as EDA (Electrodermal Activity) devices, or through other methods. Skin conductivity information is a parameter that characterizes the conductivity of the target object's skin.
[0057] Step S20: Determine the somatosensory information of the target object based on the skin conductivity information;
[0058] In this embodiment, skin conductivity information can characterize the conductivity of the target object's skin. Skin conductivity is related to the amount of sweat secretion on the skin surface, and the amount of sweat secretion is related to the target object's body's heat dissipation needs. Therefore, the target object's somatosensory information can be determined. Somatosensory information is a parameter representing the target object's perception of temperature within the associated space. It can characterize whether the target object feels cold or hot. For example, by binarizing the skin conductivity information and determining its comparison result with preset skin conductivity information, the somatosensory result of whether the target object feels colder or hotter can be determined as somatosensory information. Somatosensory information can also be specific numerical parameters, using the magnitude, sign, etc., of the numerical parameters to characterize the degree to which the object feels cold or hot.
[0059] Optionally, determining the somatosensory information of the target object based on the skin conductivity information includes:
[0060] Based on the skin conductivity information and the preset voltage information, the skin resistance information of the target object is calculated;
[0061] The sweat secretion status of the target object is determined based on the skin resistance information and a preset lookup table;
[0062] The body sensation information of the target object is determined based on the sweat secretion.
[0063] In this embodiment, skin conductivity information is obtained through measurement or other methods. It is determined by the magnitude of the weak current passing through the skin surface when a certain voltage is applied; the greater the current, the better the skin conductivity information. Based on the skin conductivity information and the preset voltage information associated with obtaining it, the skin resistance information of the target object can be calculated. Normally, skin resistance is very high, but after sweat secretion, the ions carried in the sweat will change the skin resistance, increasing the movement channels of the ions and thus reducing skin resistance. The more sweat, the lower the skin resistance. Therefore, based on the calculated skin resistance information and a preset reference table, the sweat secretion level of the target object can be determined. More sweat indicates a greater perceived heat and a less perceived cold, and vice versa. Thus, the skin conductivity information of the target object can be accurately obtained based on the sweat secretion level.
[0064] Step S30: Determine the target operating parameters of the air conditioner based on the body sensation information, and control the operation of the air conditioner based on the target operating parameters.
[0065] In this embodiment, the somatosensory information can characterize the target object's perception of the ambient temperature of the associated space. If it feels too cold, the air conditioner can adjust the operating parameters to raise the ambient temperature of the associated space. Conversely, the air conditioner can lower the ambient temperature of the associated space to provide a more comfortable environment for the target object.
[0066] Optionally, the current air conditioning operating parameters are obtained, the target operating parameters of the air conditioning are determined based on the air conditioning operating parameters and the body sensation information, and the air conditioning is controlled according to the target operating parameters to adjust the ambient temperature of the associated space to an ambient temperature that allows the body sensation information of the target object to reach a comfortable standard.
[0067] For example, the air conditioner's operating mode is determined based on its operating parameters, and target operating parameters are determined based on the operating mode, perceived temperature, and operating parameters. If the air conditioner's operating mode is heating mode, and the perceived temperature indicates that the target object feels cold, then the compressor's operating frequency and / or the air conditioner's fan speed are increased. The target operating frequency is determined based on the compressor's operating frequency and its increased value in the operating parameters, and the target fan speed is determined based on the air conditioner's fan speed and its increased value in the operating parameters. The target operating frequency and / or target fan speed are used as target operating parameters, and the air conditioner's operation is controlled based on the target operating frequency and / or target fan speed. Therefore, in heating mode, when the target object feels cold, the compressor's operating frequency and the fan speed can be increased to improve the air conditioner's heating effect and raise the ambient temperature of the associated space. If the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, and the perceived temperature indicates that the target feels cold, then the compressor's operating frequency and / or the air conditioner's fan speed are reduced. Based on the compressor's operating frequency and its reduction in operating frequency in the operating parameters, the target operating frequency is determined, and / or the air conditioner's fan speed and its reduction in operating speed are determined, the target fan speed is determined. The target operating frequency and / or the target fan speed are used as target operating parameters, and the air conditioner is controlled based on the target operating frequency and / or the target fan speed. Thus, in cooling mode, when the target feels cold, the compressor's operating frequency and the fan speed can be reduced to decrease the air conditioner's cooling effect and increase the ambient temperature of the associated space to make the target feel comfortable.
[0068] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, skin conductivity information of a target object is obtained; wherein, the target object is an organism with biological characteristics within the associated space of the air conditioner; the somatosensory information of the target object is determined based on the skin conductivity information; the target operating parameters of the air conditioner are determined based on the somatosensory information, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the target operating parameters. By using the skin conductivity information of the target object within the associated space of the air conditioner to determine the somatosensory information of the target object, the obtained somatosensory information can accurately reflect the target object's perception of ambient temperature. This allows the air conditioner to accurately control its operation to regulate ambient temperature based on the target operating parameters determined by the somatosensory information, thereby accurately regulating an ambient temperature that makes the target object feel comfortable, thus improving the accuracy of air conditioner temperature control. Furthermore, the air conditioner can be regulated without the participation of the target object or other users, providing a comfortable living environment for the target object, improving the ease of operation of the air conditioner, and eliminating concerns about the target object lacking the ability to set the air conditioner or misoperating, leading to incorrect temperature regulation by the air conditioner, and further improving the comfort of the air conditioner.
[0069] Further, step S10 includes:
[0070] Obtain real-time conductivity information collected by the conductivity information acquisition device within the associated space;
[0071] Based on the real-time conductivity information and the preset conductivity information table, determine the conductive medium corresponding to the real-time conductivity information;
[0072] If the conductive medium is the skin of the target object, then the real-time conductivity information is used as the skin conductivity information of the target object.
[0073] In this embodiment, skin conductivity information can be obtained by measuring and collecting it using a conductivity information acquisition device. The air conditioner can establish a communication connection with the conductivity information acquisition device within the control unit to obtain the real-time conductivity information collected by the device. The device applies a rated voltage to two electrode plates. Air, skin, etc., may exist as conductive media between the two electrode plates, and different conductive media have different resistances, resulting in different currents between the electrode plates. The conductivity information acquisition device can collect the real-time conductivity information between the two electrode plates by measuring the magnitude of the current between them. Since the voltage applied to the electrode plates is constant, the main factor affecting the real-time conductivity information is the conductive medium between the two electrode plates. Therefore, the conductive medium between the two electrode plates can be determined based on the real-time conductivity information. A preset conductivity information table is obtained, which is a lookup table between conductivity information ranges and conductive media. The preset conductivity information table is queried to determine the target conductivity information range where the real-time conductivity information is located, and the conductive medium corresponding to the target conductivity information range is used as the conductive medium corresponding to the real-time conductivity information. If the conductive medium is the skin of the target object, it indicates that the target object is within the associated space, and the conductivity information acquisition device is collecting real-time conductivity information using the target object's skin as the conductive medium. This real-time conductivity information can be used as the skin conductivity information of the target object.
[0074] Optionally, the conductive information acquisition device can be a wearable device with conductive information acquisition function, such as a smartwatch or smart underwear. When worn correctly, it will be fixed to the body part of the target object to obtain the skin conductive information of the fixed part. If the conductive medium corresponding to the real-time conductive information is the skin of the target object, it also indicates that the conductive information acquisition device can fit the body skin at the preset wearing position. The target object has correctly worn the conductive information acquisition device in the associated space. The real-time conductive information collected by the conductive information acquisition device can be used as the skin conductive information of the target object. Since the body part corresponding to the skin conductive information is also relatively fixed, a unified standard can be used to determine the body sensation information of the target object based on the skin conductive information, thereby improving the accuracy of the body sensation information.
[0075] By using real-time conductivity information collected by the conductivity information acquisition device in the associated space, the conductive medium corresponding to the real-time conductivity information can be determined. Then, by determining whether the conductive medium has the skin of the target object, the real-time conductivity information can be used as the skin conductivity information of the target object. This allows for the rapid and real-time acquisition of the skin conductivity information of the target object, thereby more accurately judging the body sensation information of the target object and further improving the efficiency and accuracy of air conditioning temperature control.
[0076] Further, step S30 includes:
[0077] Query the preset control parameter table to determine the initial operating parameters corresponding to the somatosensory information;
[0078] Obtain the age, gender, and body type information of the target object;
[0079] The compensation parameters are determined based on the age information, the gender information, the body size information, and the preset compensation table;
[0080] The target operating parameters are determined based on the compensation parameters and the initial operating parameters.
[0081] In this embodiment, the preset control parameter table is a comparison table between the body sensation information and the air conditioner's operating parameter adjustment scheme. By querying the preset control parameter table, the operating parameter adjustment scheme corresponding to the body sensation information can be determined, thereby obtaining the current operating parameters of the air conditioner. Based on the current operating parameters of the air conditioner and the operating parameter adjustment scheme corresponding to the body sensation information, the initial operating parameters corresponding to the body sensation information can be determined. The physical characteristics of the target object within the associated space can be obtained through the air conditioner's image acquisition device or radar device, thereby determining the target object's age, gender, and body size information. Furthermore, the target object's identity information can be determined through the image and image recognition model of the target object acquired by the image acquisition device, or the login account information of the air conditioner's associated software. The age, gender, and body size information associated with the identity information can then be obtained as the target object's age, gender, and body size information. Body size information includes the target object's height, weight, etc. When the target audience's age varies, their tolerance for sweating differs. For example, a light sweat is comfortable or normal for young children or the elderly, while young adults prefer a cooler feeling. Therefore, the initial operating parameters can be fine-tuned based on age information. Similarly, they can be fine-tuned based on gender and body type information. The preset supplementary table shows the relationship between compensation parameters and age, gender, and body type information. By consulting the preset supplementary table, the corresponding compensation parameters for the target audience can be determined, and then the initial operating parameters can be compensated accordingly for fine-tuning.
[0082] This allows for the acquisition of target operating parameters that better match the needs of the target user and provide real-time ergonomic feedback. This enables the air conditioner, controlled according to the target operating parameters, to adjust the ambient temperature to a more suitable level for the target user, thereby improving the accuracy of air conditioning temperature control and the comfort of the air conditioner.
[0083] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 Based on any of the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the air conditioner control method of the present invention, step S10 includes:
[0084] Step S11: Obtain the ambient temperature within the space associated with the air conditioner, as well as the location and movement information of the target object;
[0085] In this embodiment, if there is no conductive information acquisition device in the associated space, or if the conductive information acquisition device cannot acquire the skin conductive information of the target object, a target somatosensory prediction model can be constructed through a learning model to predict the skin conductive information of the target object using other relevant information of the target object that can be acquired.
[0086] Factors influencing skin conductivity include the amount of sweat secretion on the skin surface. These factors include the ambient temperature of the target's environment (i.e., the temperature within the air-conditioned space), the target's position relative to the air conditioner, and the target's body movement information. The target's body movement information can be parameters that characterize the target's activity state (e.g., high-intensity exercise, low-intensity exercise, or resting state) or the type of activity (e.g., running, planking, resting).
[0087] Step S12: Preprocess the ambient temperature, the location information, and the body movement information to obtain target feature information;
[0088] In this embodiment, the ambient temperature within the associated space corresponding to the air conditioner, as well as the location and movement information of the target object, are parameters that can affect the sweat secretion on the target object's skin surface. Therefore, the skin conductivity parameters of the target object can be determined based on these parameters. To more accurately determine the skin conductivity parameters using these parameters, a machine learning model can be used to learn the feature relationship between the parameter types and skin conductivity parameters, thereby training a target somatosensory prediction model. The target somatosensory prediction model is then used to predict the real-time skin conductivity parameters of the target object corresponding to the above parameters. (Refer to...) Figure 3Before processing the target body perception prediction model, it is necessary to preprocess the parameters such as ambient temperature, location information and body movement information. In addition to removing noise from these parameters, the preprocessing also includes encoding these parameters to obtain the encoding vectors corresponding to ambient temperature, location information and body movement information respectively. These encoding vectors are then combined to form the target feature information X = [x1, x2, x3, x4].
[0089] Step S13: Input the target feature information into the target somatosensory prediction model to obtain the skin conductivity information of the target object.
[0090] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The target feature information X is input into the target somatosensory prediction model. The target somatosensory prediction model performs calculations based on X to predict the skin conductivity information corresponding to the target feature information X. The skin conductivity information corresponding to the target feature information X is then used as the skin conductivity information of the target object in the associated space of the current air conditioner.
[0091] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, the ambient temperature within the space associated with the air conditioner, as well as the location and movement information of the target object, are obtained. The ambient temperature, location, and movement information are preprocessed to obtain target feature information. This target feature information is then input into a target motion prediction model to obtain the skin conductivity information of the target object. This eliminates the need for a conductivity information acquisition device; instead, it uses the more conveniently located ambient temperature, target object location and movement information, and a pre-set target motion prediction model to determine the target object's skin conductivity information. This increases the probability of obtaining accurate skin conductivity information, reduces the hardware cost of the air conditioner, and improves the accuracy of determining the target object's skin conductivity information, thereby further enhancing the accuracy of air conditioner temperature control.
[0092] Furthermore, the target somatosensory prediction model is obtained based on the following steps:
[0093] Acquire interrelated training location information, training body movement information, training environment temperature, and training skin conductivity information;
[0094] The training location information, the training motion information, and the training environment temperature are preprocessed to obtain training feature information;
[0095] Set the training skin conductivity information as the training label for the training feature information;
[0096] An initial motion prediction model is trained based on multiple training feature information with training labels, to obtain the target motion prediction model.
[0097] In this embodiment, the target somatosensory prediction model is trained based on an initial somatosensory prediction model. The initial model has low accuracy in predicting skin conductivity information and requires training data to obtain a more accurate model. Training the model requires training data. The target somatosensory prediction model predicts skin conductivity information based on the ambient temperature within the associated space corresponding to the air conditioner, as well as the target object's position and movement information. Therefore, the training data also needs to include interrelated training position information, training movement information, training ambient temperature, and training skin conductivity information. The parameters such as the ambient temperature in a certain associated space, the movement information of the same target object within that space, the target object's position relative to the air conditioner, and the target object's skin conductivity information can be correlated. These interrelated data can be used as training ambient temperature, training position information, training movement information, and training skin conductivity information, respectively. Figure 3 The training location information, training motion information, and training ambient temperature are preprocessed to obtain training feature information S = [s1, s2, s3, s4]. This training feature information can be used as training data for the initial somatosensory prediction model. The skin conductivity information is set as the training label for the training feature information, and multiple training feature information with training labels are obtained accordingly. The multiple training feature information with training labels are input into the initial somatosensory prediction model to train a target somatosensory prediction model with a prediction accuracy greater than the preset accuracy. The model parameters of the target somatosensory prediction model are W = [w1, w2, w3, w4].
[0098] By utilizing the interconnected training location information, training motion information, training ambient temperature, and training skin conductivity information, an initial somatosensory prediction model can be trained to obtain a target somatosensory prediction model that can accurately predict skin conductivity information, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of air conditioning temperature control.
[0099] Furthermore, acquire interrelated training location information, training motion information, training environment temperature, and training skin conductivity information, including:
[0100] The training location and physical movement information of the training subjects are collected using millimeter-wave radar equipment;
[0101] A communication connection is established between the training object's identity information and the conductive information acquisition device worn by the training object;
[0102] The conductive information of the training skin is acquired by the conductive information acquisition device based on the communication connection.
[0103] In this embodiment, the millimeter-wave radar device operates using radar signals in the millimeter-wave band, typically referring to the 30–300 GHz frequency band (wavelength 1–10 mm). Millimeter waves have wavelengths between centimeter waves and light waves, thus combining the advantages of microwave guidance and photoelectric guidance. Therefore, the millimeter-wave radar device can transmit millimeter-wave signals into the associated space of the air conditioner. Using the returned signals, the device can detect the target object's position relative to the air conditioner, its body movement information, etc., allowing for the collection of training position and body movement information of the training object. The identity information of the training object can be obtained by acquiring an image of the training object within the air conditioner using an image acquisition device, processing the image using an image recognition model, and then establishing a communication connection between the training object's identity information and the conductive information acquisition device worn by the training object. The training object is the object that can collect the training data required for the initial motion prediction model; it can refer to an object within the associated space of the air conditioner that is correctly wearing the conductive information acquisition device. Because the training subjects correctly wore the conductive information acquisition device, their skin conductive information could be collected as training skin conductive information while the millimeter-wave radar device was collecting training position and movement information. Furthermore, based on the communication connection with the conductive information acquisition device, the skin conductive information collected during the millimeter-wave radar's acquisition of training position and movement information was obtained as its collected training skin conductive information.
