[0033] In the present disclosure, the air conditioner is a smart air conditioner capable of voice interaction. The smart air conditioner refers to an air conditioner product formed after introducing microprocessors, sensor technology, network communication technology into the air conditioner, which has the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent sensing and intelligent application. The operation process of the smart air conditioner often depends on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet and electronic chips. For example, a smart home appliance air conditioner can achieve remote control and management of the smart air conditioner by connecting electronic devices.

[0034] In the present disclosure, the execution subject of the method for controlling the air conditioner is an electronic device, which is a server, a computer or an air conditioner.

[0035] In some embodiments, in the case of a server or a computer, the server or the computer is connected to the air conditioner through the Internet. The air conditioner is provided with a voice collection device, which is used to collect voice in a preset area and obtain voice information. The server or the computer obtains the voice information through the voice collection device on the air conditioner. The server or the computer determines the target operation mode of the air conditioner according to the voice information, so as to control the air conditioner according to the voice information.

[0036] In some embodiments, in the case of an air conditioner, the air conditioner is provided with a voice collection device. The air conditioner collects voice by using the voice collection device and obtains voice information. The air conditioner determines the target operation mode of the air conditioner according to the voice information, so as to control the air conditioner according to the voice information.

[0037] In combination withFigure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0038] In step S101, in the case of receiving voice information, the electronic device acquires the voice intention of the user according to the voice information.

[0039] In step S102, the electronic device determines the target operation mode of the air conditioner according to the voice intention.

[0040] In step S103, the electronic device controls the air conditioner according to the target operation mode.

[0041] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine whether the air conditioner needs to respond by acquiring the voice intention of the user according to the voice information in the case of receiving the voice information. Then, the target operation mode of the air conditioner is determined according to the voice intention, and the air conditioner is controlled according to the target operation mode. The operation mode of the air conditioner can change with the change of the voice intention, thereby reducing the probability of false response of the air conditioner on the basis of ensuring that the air conditioner can respond to the voice information.

[0042] Optionally, acquiring the voice intention of the user according to the voice information comprises: performing semantic recognition on the voice information by using a voice recognition model to obtain the voice intention. In this way, the voice intention of the user can be obtained to facilitate more accurate determination of whether the air conditioner needs to respond.

[0043] In some embodiments, the voice recognition model is obtained by: obtaining a plurality of first sample voices, each of which carries a first sample label, the first sample label being a voice intention for representing voice interaction with the air conditioner; obtaining a plurality of second sample voices, each of which carries a second sample label; the second sample label representing a voice intention for representing no voice interaction with the air conditioner; and inputting the first sample voice and the second sample voice into a preset neural network model for training to obtain the voice recognition model.

[0044] Further, the first sample voice is obtained by: in the case that the air conditioner is in a first sample voice collection mode, determining the collected voice information as first target voice information, and determining the first target voice information as the first sample voice. The first target voice information is the voice information of the user in the area where the air conditioner is located. The first target voice information is a dialect or a common language. In this way, the voice recognition model trained by using the first target voice information can not only perform semantic recognition on the voice of the common language, but also perform semantic recognition on the voice of the dialect. Thus, the application range of the voice recognition model can be expanded.

[0045] In some embodiments, the operation mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the first sample voice collection mode in a case where a control instruction for characterizing the operation of the first sample voice collection mode is received. The user can send the control instruction to the air conditioner through a remote controller, voice or a control panel.

[0046] Further, the second sample voice is obtained by: determining collected voice information as second target voice information and determining the second target voice information as the second sample voice in a case where the air conditioner is in the second sample voice collection mode. The second target voice information includes voice of a user in a region where the air conditioner is located and voice played by a voice playing device. The voice of the user is, for example, voice when the user makes a phone call. The voice playing device is, for example, a television. In this way, the voice recognition model trained by using the second target voice information can not only recognize the voice of the user, but also perform semantic recognition on the voice played by the voice playing device, so that a more accurate voice intention can be obtained in a case where the voice recognition model recognizes the voice information, thereby reducing the probability of incorrect voice reply of the air conditioner.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second target voice information includes voice information when the user makes a phone call.

[0048] In combination with Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0049] In step S201, in a case where voice information is received, an electronic device performs semantic recognition on the voice information by using a voice recognition model to obtain a voice intention.

[0050] In step S202, the electronic device determines a target operation mode of the air conditioner according to the voice intention.

[0051] In step S203, the electronic device controls the air conditioner according to the target operation mode.

[0052] By using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the voice intention of a user can be obtained by recognizing voice information by using a voice recognition model in a case where the voice information is received, so that it can be determined whether the air conditioner needs to respond. Then, the target operation mode of the air conditioner is determined according to the voice intention, and the air conditioner is controlled according to the target operation mode. The operation mode of the air conditioner can be changed according to the change of the voice intention, so that the probability of incorrect response of the air conditioner is reduced on the basis of ensuring that the air conditioner can respond to the voice information.

[0053] Optionally, the voice intention of the user is obtained according to the voice information, comprising: obtaining a number of tones in the voice information, and obtaining the voice intention of the user according to the number of tones.

[0054] Optionally, the voice intention of the user is acquired according to the number of tones, including: in a case where the number of tones is multiple, determining that the voice intention represents that the air conditioner does not perform voice interaction.

[0055] Further, the voice information is received, including: receiving voice information in a second preset time period. Since the speaking time of different users is usually different when the user is in conversation, for example, user B usually speaks after user A finishes speaking. Therefore, by receiving voice information in a second preset time period and acquiring the number of tones of the voice information in the second preset time period, whether multiple users exist in the space region where the air conditioner is located can be more accurately determined.

[0056] Optionally, the voice intention of the user is acquired according to the number of tones, including: in a case where the number of tones is one, determining that the voice intention represents that the air conditioner performs voice interaction. In a case where the number of tones is one, it represents that only one user exists in the space region where the air conditioner is located, and at this time, the voice intention is the voice interaction mode, so that the air conditioner can respond to the user in time.

[0057] Optionally, the target operation mode of the air conditioner is determined according to the voice intention, including: in a case where the voice intention represents that the air conditioner does not perform voice interaction, determining that the target operation mode is a deep sleep mode.

[0058] In some embodiments, the deep sleep mode represents that the air conditioner can receive voice information, but does not make any reply. Not making any reply represents not making any operation, and also does not perform voice reply.

[0059] In combination Figure 3 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0060] In step S301, the electronic device receives voice information in a second preset time period.

[0061] In step S302, the electronic device acquires the number of tones in the voice information.

[0062] In step S303, in a case where the number of tones is multiple, the electronic device determines that the target operation mode of the air conditioner is a deep sleep mode.

[0063] In step S304, the electronic device controls the air conditioner according to the deep sleep mode.

[0064] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is used to obtain the number of tones in the voice information in the second preset time period, and control the air conditioner in the deep sleep mode when the number of tones is multiple. Since the number of tones is multiple, it indicates that there are multiple persons in the space region where the air conditioner is located, and these persons are in conversation. Therefore, by determining the target operation mode of the air conditioner as the deep sleep mode, the situation that the air conditioner mistakenly performs voice reply and disturbs the user can be avoided, thereby improving the experience of the user using the air conditioner.

[0065] In some embodiments, the space region where the air conditioner is located is a room, multiple users exist in the room, and the multiple users are in conversation. In the second preset time period, the air conditioner receives voice information, and obtains the number of tones in the received voice information. When the number of tones in the voice information is multiple, the air conditioner enters the deep sleep mode. Thus, the situation that the air conditioner mistakenly performs voice reply is reduced.

[0066] Optionally, determining the target operation mode of the air conditioner according to the voice intent comprises: in the case that the voice intent indicates voice interaction with the air conditioner, determining the target operation mode as the voice interaction mode.

[0067] In some embodiments, in the case that the air conditioner enters the voice interaction mode, the air conditioner can not only execute the corresponding operation mode in response to the voice instruction, but also can use the loudspeaker to respond to the voice instruction issued by the user. For example, the voice instruction is used to indicate to lower the temperature. The air conditioner lowers the temperature according to the voice instruction when the voice instruction is received. Or, the voice instruction is used to indicate to broadcast the temperature, and the air conditioner broadcasts the current running temperature using the loudspeaker when the voice instruction is received.

[0068] Optionally, the target operation mode is the deep sleep mode, and after controlling the air conditioner according to the target operation mode, the method further comprises: in the case that a preset wake-up word is received, counting the number of times of the preset keyword received in the first preset time period. In the case that the number of times of the preset keyword received in the first preset time period is less than a preset number of times, controlling the air conditioner to enter the voice interaction mode. When the user talks about the air conditioner, the preset wake-up word may be mentioned by mistake. However, in general, if the topic involves the air conditioner, the performance, mode or volume of the air conditioner and the like will also be mentioned. Therefore, by counting the number of times of the preset keyword received in the first preset time period and judging whether the number of times of the preset keyword received is less than the preset number of times, it can be more accurately determined whether the user wants to control the air conditioner or simply mentions the air conditioner.

[0069] In some embodiments, in the case that the number of times of the preset keyword received in the first preset time period is less than the preset number of times, controlling the air conditioner to enter the voice interaction mode comprises: determining response information corresponding to the preset keyword, and controlling the air conditioner to respond according to the response information.

[0070] In some embodiments, the preset wake-up word is "Hello, air conditioner". The preset keywords are, for example, "cooling", "heating", "fresh air", and words used to represent air conditioner components. The preset number of times is 4. The first preset time period is one minute. In some embodiments, during a conversation between multiple users, user A mentions "Hello, air conditioner". At this time, the master controller of the air conditioner determines that the received voice information includes the preset wake-up word, and then the air conditioner continues to receive voice information for one minute and determines whether the preset keywords such as "cooling", "heating", or "fresh air" are included in the voice information for one minute. In the case where the preset keywords are included in the voice information for one minute, the number of occurrences of the preset keywords is counted, and in the case where the number of occurrences of the preset keywords is less than the preset number of times, the response information corresponding to the preset keywords is determined, and a response is made according to the response information.

[0071] In combination with Figure 4 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0072] In step S401, the electronic device receives voice information within a second preset time period.

[0073] In step S402, the electronic device obtains the number of voice tones in the voice information.

[0074] In step S403, in the case where the number of voice tones is multiple, the electronic device determines that the target operating mode of the air conditioner is a deep sleep mode.

[0075] In step S404, the electronic device controls the air conditioner according to the deep sleep mode.

[0076] In step S405, in the case where a preset wake-up word is received, the electronic device counts the number of times of a preset keyword received within a first preset time period.

[0077] In step S406, in the case where the number of times of the preset keyword received within the first preset time period is less than a preset number of times, the electronic device controls the air conditioner to enter a voice interaction mode.

[0078] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to obtain the number of timbres in the voice information, and in the case that the number of timbres is multiple, the air conditioner is finally controlled according to the deep sleep mode. Since in the case that the number of timbres is multiple, it is indicated that there are multiple persons in the space where the air conditioner is located, and these persons are in a conversation state. Therefore, by determining the target operation mode of the air conditioner as the deep sleep mode, the situation that the air conditioner mistakenly performs voice reply and disturbs the user can be avoided, thereby improving the experience of the user using the air conditioner. Moreover, in the case that the preset wake-up word is received, the number of times of the preset keyword received in the first preset time period is counted, and it is determined whether the number of times of the preset keyword received is less than the preset number of times. It can be more accurately determined whether the user wants to control the air conditioner or simply mentions the air conditioner.
