In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer or a server, etc. The electronic device can be connected to the air conditioner through connection of the Internet, Bluetooth, wifi, etc. For example, as shown in the figure, the electronic device is a server, and the bathroom 3 is provided with an air conditioner 2. The server 1 is connected to the air conditioner 2 through the Internet. The server 1 receives the user's bathing instructions through the air conditioner 2, determines the user type, and determines the user state, and controls the fan and compressor of the air conditioner to operate according to the user state and user type. Figure 1

[0028] ​In some embodiments, the electronic device is an air conditioner. The air conditioner is provided with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an infrared sensor and a sound recognition device. The temperature sensor is used to detect the indoor environmental temperature in the bathroom. The humidity sensor is used to detect the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom. The infrared sensor is used to detect whether there is a person in the bathroom. The sound recognition device is used to recognize the sound information in the bathroom. The air conditioner receives the bathing instruction of the user, determines the user type, and determines the user state. According to the user state and the user type, the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate.

[0029] In combination Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0030] Step S201, in response to the bathing instruction of the user, the electronic device determines the user type. The user type includes an adult type and a child type. The adult type represents that the user is an adult, and the child type represents that the user is a child.

[0031] Step S202, the electronic device determines the user state; the user state is used to represent that the user is in a state before bathing, a state of bathing or a state after bathing.

[0032] Step S203, according to the user state and the user type, the electronic device controls the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner to operate.

[0033] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can control the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner to operate according to the user state and the user type when different types of users are bathing. In this way, the indoor environmental temperature in the bathroom can be adjusted to a comfortable temperature for the user in different bathing states. Thus, the needs of different types of users for the indoor environmental temperature in different bathing states can be met, and the bathing experience of different types of users is improved.

[0034] Optionally, the bathing instruction contains a first alternative user type, and in response to the bathing instruction of the user, the user type is determined, including: determining the first alternative user type as the user type. In this way, by selecting the user type by the user himself, the type of the user who needs to bathe can be more accurately determined.

[0035] For example, the first alternative user type contained in the bathing instruction input by the user is the adult type, and the adult type is taken as the user type. The first alternative user type contained in the bathing instruction input by the user is the child type, and the child type is taken as the user type.

[0036] Optionally, the bathroom door is provided with a camera on the outside, and the user type is determined by: acquiring a face image of the user by the camera. Matching a second candidate user type corresponding to the face image from the first database. Determining the second candidate user type as the user type. The first database stores a correspondence between the face image and the second candidate user type.

[0037] Before the user enters the bathroom, the camera on the bathroom door acquires a face image of the user in the case that the user is at the entrance of the bathroom. The user type corresponding to the face image is matched from the first database, so that the user type of the user who needs to take a bath can be determined only by recognizing the face image of the user without manual operation of the user to select the user type, and the operation of the user is simplified.

[0038] Optionally, the air conditioner is provided with a sound recognition device, and the user type is determined by: acquiring sound information in the bathroom by the sound recognition device in the air conditioner. Recognizing the acquired sound information to obtain a recognition result. In a case that the recognition result is that the sound information in the bathroom is human voice, matching a third candidate user type corresponding to the human voice from the second database. Determining the third candidate user type as the user type. The second database stores a correspondence between the human voice and the third candidate user type. In this way, the type of the user who needs to take a bath can be determined only by recognizing the sound information of the user without manual operation of the user to select the user type, and the operation of the user is simplified.

[0039] Optionally, the user state includes a state before a bath is started, and the bathroom is provided with a first storage rack, and the first storage rack is provided with a first pressure sensor, and the user state is determined by: acquiring a pressure value on the first storage rack by the first pressure sensor. In a case that the pressure value on the first storage rack is less than a first preset pressure value, determining that the user state is the state before the bath is started. The first storage rack is used to place clothes of the user. For example, the first storage rack is used to place clothes worn by the user before the bath.

[0040] Before the user starts the bath, the first storage rack is not placed with clothes taken off by the user in a case that the user has not taken off the clothes worn on the body. At this time, there is a small pressure value on the first storage rack. Therefore, in a case that the pressure value on the first storage rack detected by the first pressure sensor is less than the first preset pressure value, it is determined that the first storage rack is not placed with the clothes taken off by the user. Thus, it can be determined that the user has not started the bath at the current time, that is, the user is in the state before the bath is started. In an embodiment, the first preset pressure value is any value greater than 0 Newton and less than 5 Newton.

[0041] Optionally, the user state comprises a state before bathing starts, and the shower is arranged in the bathroom, and the determining of the user state comprises: determining that the user state is the state before bathing starts in a case where the shower is not opened.

[0042] The shower is usually not opened before the user starts bathing. Therefore, in a case where the shower is not opened, it is determined that the user has not started bathing, i.e., it is determined that the user is in the state before bathing starts.

[0043] Optionally, the user state comprises a state before bathing starts, and the determining of the user state comprises: acquiring sound information in the bathroom by using a sound recognition device in the air conditioner, recognizing the acquired sound information, and obtaining a recognition result. In a case where the recognition result is that the sound information in the bathroom is not water sound, it is determined that the user state is the state before bathing starts.

[0044] The shower is usually not opened before the user starts bathing. In a case where the sound recognition device does not recognize water sound, it is determined that the shower is not opened. Therefore, it can be determined that the user has not started bathing at the current time, i.e., it is determined that the user is in the state before bathing starts.

[0045] Optionally, the user state comprises a state before bathing starts, and a humidity sensor is arranged in the air conditioner, and the determining of the user state comprises: detecting indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom by using the humidity sensor in the air conditioner. In a case where the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom is less than a preset humidity, it is determined that the user state is the state before bathing starts. The indoor environmental humidity is used to represent that the bathroom is in a dry state or a humid state.

[0046] The bathroom is in a dry state before the user starts bathing, and there is little water vapor in the bathroom. At this time, the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom is small. Therefore, in a case where the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom detected by the humidity sensor is less than the preset humidity, it is determined that there is little water vapor in the bathroom. Therefore, it can be determined that the user has not started bathing at the current time, i.e., it is determined that the user is in the state before bathing starts. In some embodiments, the preset humidity is any value within 40% to 60%.

[0047] Optionally, the user state comprises a state of being in bathing, and the determining of the user state comprises: acquiring a pressure value on the first storage rack by using the first pressure sensor. In a case where the pressure value on the first storage rack is greater than or equal to a first preset pressure value, it is determined that the user state is the state of being in bathing.

[0048] After the user takes off the clothes worn on the body and places the clothes on the first storage rack, the user starts bathing. When the clothes taken off by the user are placed on the first storage rack, a large pressure value exists on the first storage rack. Therefore, in a case where the first pressure sensor detects that the pressure value on the first storage rack is greater than or equal to the first preset pressure value, it is determined that the clothes taken off by the user are placed on the first storage rack. Thus, it is determined that the user is currently bathing, i.e., it is determined that the user is in the bathing state.

[0049] Optionally, the user state includes the bathing state, and determining the user state includes: in a case where the shower is opened, determining that the user state is the bathing state.

[0050] In the bathing process of the user, the shower is usually in an opened state. Therefore, in a case where the shower is opened, it is determined that the user is bathing, i.e., it is determined that the user is in the bathing state.

[0051] Optionally, the user state includes the bathing state, and determining the user state includes: obtaining sound information in the bathroom by using a sound recognition device in the air conditioner, recognizing the obtained sound information, and obtaining a recognition result. In a case where the recognition result is that the sound information in the bathroom is water sound, it is determined that the user state is the bathing state.

[0052] In the bathing process of the user, the shower is usually in an opened state. In a case where the sound recognition device detects water sound, it is determined that the shower is opened. In this way, only by detecting water sound in the bathroom, it can be determined that the user is in the bathing state.

[0053] Optionally, the user state includes the bathing state, and determining the user state includes: obtaining indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom by using a humidity sensor in the air conditioner. In a case where the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom is greater than or equal to a preset humidity, it is determined that the user state is the bathing state.

[0054] In the bathing process of the user, the bathroom contains a large amount of water vapor, and the bathroom is in a humid state. At this time, the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom is large. Therefore, in a case where the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom detected by the humidity sensor is greater than or equal to the preset humidity, it is determined that the bathroom contains a large amount of water vapor. Thus, it can be determined that the user is currently bathing, i.e., it is determined that the user is in the bathing state.

[0055] Optionally, the user state includes the bathing end state, and determining the user state includes: obtaining a pressure value on the first storage rack by using the first pressure sensor. In a case where the pressure value on the first storage rack decreases by a third preset pressure value, it is determined that the user state is the bathing end state.

[0056] The user takes off the clothes from the first shelf after the bathing is finished. When the clothes are taken off from the first shelf, the pressure value on the first shelf decreases with the decrease of the clothes on the first shelf. Therefore, when the first pressure sensor detects that the pressure value on the first shelf decreases by a third preset pressure value, it is determined that the user takes off the clothes from the first shelf for wearing. Thus, it can be determined that the user has finished bathing at the current time, i.e., it is determined that the user is in the bathing-finished state. In some embodiments, the third preset pressure value is any value greater than 5 Newton and less than 10 Newton.

[0057] Optionally, the user state includes the bathing-finished state, and the bathroom is provided with a second shelf, and the second shelf is provided with a second pressure sensor. Determining the user state includes: acquiring, by the second pressure sensor, a pressure value on the second shelf. When the pressure value on the second shelf is less than a second preset pressure value, it is determined that the user state is the bathing-finished state. The second shelf is used to place articles capable of wiping water, such as towels or bath towels.

[0058] The user takes off the articles capable of wiping water, such as towels or bath towels, from the second shelf after the bathing is finished. When the articles capable of wiping water are taken off from the second shelf, the pressure value on the second shelf decreases. Therefore, when the second pressure sensor detects that the pressure value on the second shelf is less than the second preset pressure value, it is determined that the user takes off the articles capable of wiping water from the second shelf to wipe the water on the body. Thus, it can be determined that the user has finished bathing at the current time, i.e., it is determined that the user is in the bathing-finished state.

[0059] Optionally, the user state includes the bathing-finished state, and determining the user state includes: acquiring a time when the shower is turned off. According to the time, a length of time after the shower is turned off is determined. When the length of time after the shower is turned off is greater than or equal to a first preset length of time, it is determined that the user state is the bathing-finished state.

[0060] The user takes off the articles capable of wiping water, such as towels or bath towels, from the second shelf after the bathing is finished. When the articles capable of wiping water are taken off from the second shelf, the pressure value on the second shelf decreases. Therefore, when the second pressure sensor detects that the pressure value on the second shelf is less than the second preset pressure value, it is determined that the user takes off the articles capable of wiping water from the second shelf to wipe the water on the body. Thus, it can be determined that the user has finished bathing at the current time, i.e., it is determined that the user is in the bathing-finished state.

[0061] Optionally, the user state comprises a state of end of bathing, and determining the user state comprises: acquiring sound information in the bathroom by using a sound recognition device in the air conditioner; identifying the acquired sound information to obtain an identification result; and detecting indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom by using a humidity sensor in the air conditioner. In a case where the identification result is that the sound information in the bathroom is not water sound and the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom is greater than or equal to a preset humidity, it is determined that the user state is the state of end of bathing.

[0062] After the user ends bathing, the shower is usually in a closed state, and the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom is relatively large. Therefore, in a case where there is no water sound in the bathroom and the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom is greater than or equal to a preset humidity, it is determined that the user ends bathing and is in the state of end of bathing. In this way, by detecting the water sound and the indoor environmental humidity in the bathroom, the user state can be more accurately determined as the state of end of bathing.

[0063] Optionally, according to the user state and the user type, the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate, comprising: in a case where the user state is a state before bathing begins, acquiring a first indoor environmental temperature; according to the user type, acquiring a first target temperature corresponding to the state before bathing begins; and according to the first indoor environmental temperature and the first target temperature, controlling the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner to operate. The first indoor environmental temperature is an indoor environmental temperature in the bathroom when a user corresponding to the user type is in the state before bathing begins. The first target temperature represents a temperature that the user corresponding to the user type feels comfortable in the state before bathing begins.

[0064] Further, according to the user type, the first target temperature corresponding to the state before bathing begins is acquired by performing a table lookup operation in a preset data table. The data table stores the first target temperature corresponding to the user type and the state before bathing begins. In this way, without manually setting the first target temperature by the user, the first target temperature that the user corresponding to the user type feels comfortable in the state before bathing begins can be determined by detecting the user type. In this way, the operation of the user is simplified.

[0065] Further, according to the first indoor environmental temperature and the first target temperature, the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate, comprising: in a case where the first indoor environmental temperature is less than the first target temperature, the fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a first rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at a first frequency, so that the first indoor environmental temperature in the bathroom reaches the first target temperature. In this way, before bathing of different types of users, the indoor environmental temperature in the bathroom can reach a temperature that the user feels comfortable. The experience of the different types of users before bathing is improved.

[0066] In some embodiments, the user type of the user is acquired as an adult type. The first target temperature corresponding to the state of the user before the bathing starts is 22 DEG C for the adult type. The first indoor environment temperature is detected as 10 DEG C. That is, the first indoor environment temperature is less than the first target temperature. The fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the first rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the first frequency, so as to adjust the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom to 22 DEG C or above. Thus, the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom can reach the comfortable temperature of the adult user before the bathing starts, and the experience of the adult user before the bathing starts is improved. For example, the user type of the user is acquired as a child type. The first target temperature corresponding to the state of the user before the bathing starts is 25 DEG C for the child type. The first indoor environment temperature is detected as 10 DEG C. That is, the first indoor environment temperature is less than the first target temperature. The fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the first rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the first frequency, so as to adjust the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom to 25 DEG C or above. Thus, the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom can reach the comfortable temperature of the child user before the bathing starts, and the experience of the child user before the bathing starts is improved.

[0067] Further, after the first target temperature corresponding to the state before the bathing starts is acquired according to the user type, the method further comprises: reminding the user in a case that the first indoor environment temperature is greater than or equal to the first target temperature.

[0068] Optionally, the reminding the user comprises: sending voice reminding information to the user to remind the user to start the bathing. For example, the voice reminding information is: "You can start the bathing now".

[0069] When the first indoor environment temperature reaches the first target temperature or above before the user of different types starts the bathing, it is determined that the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom has reached the comfortable temperature for the user. Therefore, the user is reminded to start the bathing at the current time. In this way, the experience of the user before the bathing starts can be improved.

[0070] Optionally, the controlling the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner to operate according to the user state and the user type comprises: acquiring a second indoor environment temperature in a case that the user state is a bathing state. Acquiring a second target temperature corresponding to the bathing state according to the user type. Controlling the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner to operate according to the second indoor environment temperature and the second target temperature. The second indoor environment temperature is the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom when the user is in the bathing state. The second target temperature represents the comfortable temperature for the user of the user type when the user is in the bathing state.

[0071] Further, the second target temperature corresponding to the state of being in the bath is obtained according to the user type, including: using the user type, performing a table lookup operation in a preset data table to find out the second target temperature corresponding to the state of being in the bath. The data table stores the second target temperature corresponding to the user type and the state of being in the bath. In this way, the user does not need to manually set the second target temperature, and only needs to detect the user type to determine the second target temperature that the user feels comfortable in the bathing process. In this way, the user's operation can be simplified.

[0072] According to the second indoor environment temperature and the second target temperature corresponding to the user type, the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate, and the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom is adjusted to a temperature that the user of this type feels comfortable when being in the bath. In this way, the experience of different types of users in the bathing process can be improved.

[0073] Further, according to the second indoor environment temperature and the second target temperature, the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate, including: in the case that the second indoor environment temperature is less than the second target temperature, the fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the second rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the second frequency. To make the second indoor environment temperature in the bathroom reach the second target temperature. In this way, when different types of users are in the bath, the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom can reach the temperature that the user feels comfortable. The experience of different types of users in the bathing process is improved.

[0074] The second target temperature is greater than the first target temperature, the second rotating speed is greater than the first rotating speed, and the second frequency is greater than the first frequency. When the user is in the state of being in the bath, all the clothes on the body have been taken off. Therefore, there is a higher requirement for the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom. By controlling the fan of the air conditioner to increase from the first rotating speed to the second rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner to increase from the first frequency to the second frequency, the indoor environment temperature when the user is in the state of being in the bath is higher than the indoor environment temperature when the user is in the state before the bath starts. The requirement of the user in the state of being in the bath for the indoor environment temperature can be met. Thus, the user is in a relatively comfortable environment in various bathing states in the bathing process, thereby improving the bathing experience of the user.

[0075] In some embodiments, the user type of the user is acquired as an adult type. In this case, the second target temperature corresponding to the state of the user being in the bath is 23°C. The second indoor environment temperature is detected as 22°C. Since the second indoor environment temperature is less than the second target temperature, the fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the second rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the second frequency, so as to adjust the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom to 23°C or above. In this way, when the adult user is in the bath, the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom can be adjusted to a temperature that the adult user feels comfortable, thereby improving the experience of the adult user during the bath. For example, the user type of the user is acquired as a child type. In this case, the second target temperature corresponding to the state of the user being in the bath is 25.5°C. The second indoor environment temperature is detected as 25°C. Since the second indoor environment temperature is less than the second target temperature, the fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the second rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the second frequency, so as to adjust the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom to 25.5°C or above. In this way, when the child user is in the bath, the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom can be adjusted to a temperature that the child user feels comfortable, thereby improving the experience of the child user during the bath.

[0076] Optionally, according to the user state and the user type, the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate, including: in the case that the user state is the state of the bath being ended, a third indoor environment temperature is acquired. According to the user type, a third target temperature corresponding to the state of the bath being ended is acquired. According to the third indoor environment temperature and the third target temperature, the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate. In this case, the third indoor environment temperature is the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom when the user type corresponding user is in the state of the bath being ended, and the third target temperature represents a temperature that the user type corresponding user feels comfortable when in the state of the bath being ended.

[0077] Further, according to the user type, the third target temperature corresponding to the state of the bath being ended is acquired, including: using the user type, a lookup operation is performed in a preset data table to find out the third target temperature corresponding to the state of the bath being ended. The data table stores the third target temperature corresponding to the user type and the state of the bath being ended. In this way, without manually setting the third target temperature by the user, the third target temperature that the user type corresponding user feels comfortable when the bath is ended can be determined only by detecting the user type. In this way, the operation of the user can be simplified.

[0078] According to the third indoor environment temperature and the third target temperature corresponding to the user type, the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate, so as to adjust the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom to a temperature that the user type corresponding user feels comfortable after the bath is ended. In this way, the experience of the user type corresponding user after the bath is ended can be improved.

[0079] Further, according to the third indoor environment temperature and the third target temperature, the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate, including: in the case that the third indoor environment temperature is less than the third target temperature, the fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the third rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the third frequency. So that the third indoor environment temperature in the bathroom reaches the third target temperature. In this way, when different types of users end bathing, the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom can reach the temperature that the user feels comfortable. Improve the experience of different types of users after bathing.

[0080] Further, the third target temperature is greater than the second target temperature, the third rotating speed is greater than the second rotating speed, and the third frequency is greater than the second frequency. When the user is in the state of ending bathing, the body is in a wet state. Therefore, there is a higher requirement for the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom. By controlling the fan of the air conditioner to increase from the second rotating speed to the third rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner to increase from the second frequency to the third frequency, the indoor environment temperature when the user is in the state of ending bathing is higher than the indoor environment temperature when the user is in the state of bathing. Can meet the user's demand for indoor environment temperature in the state of ending bathing. So that the user is in a relatively comfortable environment in various bathing states during bathing, thereby improving the user's bathing experience.

[0081] In some embodiments, the user type of the user obtained is an adult type. Among them, the third target temperature corresponding to the state of the user corresponding to the adult type ending bathing is 24°C. It is detected that the third indoor environment temperature is 23°C. That is, the third indoor environment temperature is less than the third target temperature, then the fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the third rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the third frequency, so that the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom is adjusted to 24°C and above. So that when the adult user ends bathing, the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom can reach the temperature that the adult user feels comfortable. Improve the experience of the adult user after ending bathing. For example, the user type of the user obtained is a child type. Among them, the third target temperature corresponding to the state of the user corresponding to the child type before starting bathing is 26°C. It is detected that the third indoor environment temperature is 25.5°C. That is, the third indoor environment temperature is less than the third target temperature, then the fan of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the third rotating speed, and the compressor of the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the third frequency, so that the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom is adjusted to 26°C and above. So that when the child user ends bathing, the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom can reach the temperature that the child user feels comfortable. Improve the experience of the child user after ending bathing.

[0082] Optionally, according to the third indoor environment temperature and the third target temperature, after the fan and the compressor of the air conditioner are controlled to operate, the method further comprises: determining whether the user leaves the bathroom; and in the case that the user leaves the bathroom, controlling the fan, the compressor and the air deflector of the air conditioner to operate.

[0083] In the case that the user leaves the bathroom, the bathroom needs to be dried. By adjusting the fan, the compressor and the air deflector of the air conditioner, the bathroom can be dried more quickly.

[0084] Optionally, the infrared sensor is arranged in the air conditioner, and the determination of whether the user leaves the bathroom comprises: detecting whether there is a person in the bathroom by using the infrared sensor. In the case that there is no person in the bathroom, it is determined that the user leaves the bathroom.

[0085] Optionally, the determination of whether the user leaves the bathroom comprises: acquiring a time when the shower is turned off. According to the time when the shower is turned off, a time length after the shower is turned off is determined. In the case that the time length after the shower is turned off is greater than or equal to the second preset time length, it is determined that the user leaves the bathroom.

[0086] After the user finishes bathing, the shower is usually in an off state. During the second preset time length after the shower is turned off, if the shower is not detected to be turned on, it is determined that the user has left the bathroom. In this way, by detecting the time length after the shower is turned off, it can be more accurately determined that the user has left the bathroom.

[0087] Further, in the case that the user leaves the bathroom, the fan, the compressor and the air deflector of the air conditioner are controlled to operate, which comprises: controlling the fan of the air conditioner to operate at a fourth rotating speed, controlling the compressor of the air conditioner to operate at a fourth frequency, and controlling the air outlet of the air deflector of the air conditioner to face the ground of the bathroom. By controlling the fan of the air conditioner to operate at the fourth rotating speed and controlling the compressor of the air conditioner to operate at the fourth frequency, the drying speed of the bathroom can be accelerated.

[0088] Further, the fourth rotating speed is greater than the third rotating speed, and the fourth frequency is greater than the third frequency. By controlling the fan of the air conditioner to increase from the third rotating speed to the fourth rotating speed and controlling the compressor of the air conditioner to increase from the third frequency to the fourth frequency, the indoor environment temperature in the bathroom can be made to be higher, so that the drying speed of the bathroom can be accelerated.
