The singular terms "a" or "this" can also include plural forms.

[0051] As described in the background section, existing blower devices cannot automatically adjust the airflow according to the number of people in the room, resulting in wasted airflow and affecting the user experience. This invention provides a blower control method.

[0052] See appendix Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of the main steps of a blower control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the blower control method can be executed by a server, by a blower device, or by both a server and a blower device. Figure 1 As shown, the blower control method of the present invention is applied to a blower device, and the method includes the following steps:

[0053] Step S101: Obtain indoor personnel information, which includes at least the personnel's location and the ambient temperature within a preset distance of the personnel.

[0054] For example, an infrared module can be installed on the blower to obtain the location of people indoors; alternatively, an image acquisition module can be installed on the blower to acquire images of people indoors, and then the location of people indoors can be obtained by recognizing the acquired images. The preset distance can be 1 meter, i.e., to obtain the ambient temperature within 1 meter of the person; a temperature detection module can be installed on the blower to obtain the ambient temperature within 1 meter of the person indoors. The above-described methods for obtaining the location of people, the value of the preset distance, and the method for obtaining the ambient temperature within the preset distance of people are only illustrative examples, and can be selected according to actual needs in practical applications.

[0055] Step S102: Based on the information of people in the room, control the blower to perform the corresponding blower operation.

[0056] Based on the above steps S101 to S102, the present invention acquires indoor occupant information, including at least the occupant's location and the ambient temperature within a preset distance of the occupant; based on this information, it controls the blower to perform corresponding blowing operations. This setup enables the blower to automatically adjust its blowing based on the indoor occupant situation, avoiding wasted airflow and improving the user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments, before controlling the blower to perform the corresponding blower operation based on indoor occupant information, the method further includes the following steps:

[0058] Step S201: Obtain the number of people indoors and determine whether the number of people indoors meets the preset quantity conditions.

[0059] Step S202: When the number of people indoors meets the preset number condition, control the blower to perform the corresponding blower operation based on the indoor personnel information.

[0060] For example, the number of people indoors can be obtained using either an infrared module or an image acquisition module. The infrared module or image acquisition module can be mounted on the air blower or positioned at a distance from it. When the infrared module or image acquisition module is positioned at a distance from the air blower, it can transmit the acquired number of people indoors to the air blower via a short-range communication module. The methods for obtaining the number of people indoors described above are merely illustrative examples; in practical applications, the appropriate method can be selected based on actual needs.

[0061] In some embodiments, determining whether the number of people indoors meets a preset quantity condition includes: determining whether the number of people indoors is greater than or equal to a first preset value, wherein the first preset value is a positive integer and greater than or equal to 2; based on the indoor occupant information, controlling the blower to perform corresponding blower operations includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S301: Compare the ambient temperatures within a preset distance for multiple personnel.

[0063] Step S302: Based on at least some comparison results and the positions of multiple personnel, control the blowing device to perform the first blowing operation.

[0064] Specifically, since the first preset value is greater than or equal to 2, when the number of people indoors is greater than or equal to the first preset value, it indicates that there are multiple people indoors. Therefore, when obtaining indoor occupant information, it is necessary to obtain the locations of multiple people and the ambient temperature within a preset distance of multiple people. At the same time, when the number of people indoors is less than the first preset value, it indicates that there are fewer people indoors. Therefore, the air blowing device can be controlled to perform air blowing operations based on the existing air blowing parameters.

[0065] The blower in this embodiment can be a blower without cooling and heating modes, including but not limited to electric fans. The comparison results include a first order, wherein the first order is the order of ambient temperature from largest to smallest within a preset distance of multiple people. Controlling the blower to perform a first blowing operation based on at least part of the comparison results and the positions of multiple people includes: controlling the blower to cyclically perform the blowing operation based on at least part of the first order and the positions of multiple people.

[0066] For example, the number of people indoors can be three, namely, a first user, a second user, and a third user; the first order can be, in sequence, the first user, the second user, and the third user. Controlling the blower to perform the first blowing operation can be: controlling the blower to cyclically blow air onto the positions of the first user, the second user, and the third user in sequence; or, controlling the blower to cyclically blow air only onto the positions of the first user and the second user in sequence. The values ​​for the number of people indoors, the setting method for the first order, and the setting method for the first blowing operation described above are only illustrative examples, and can be selected according to actual needs in practical applications.

[0067] See appendix Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the main steps of a control blower device performing a first blower operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, controlling the blower to perform a first blowing operation based on at least some comparison results and the positions of multiple people includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S401: Obtain the operating mode of the blower, wherein the operating mode includes at least a heating mode and / or a cooling mode.

[0069] Step S402: Obtain the blowing sequence based on at least some comparison results and the working mode of the blowing device.

[0070] Step S403: Based on at least part of the blowing sequence and the personnel position, control the blowing device to perform a second blowing operation.

[0071] Specifically, the blower in this embodiment can be a blower with cooling and / or heating modes, including but not limited to air conditioners, air coolers, etc. The comparison results include a first order and a second order, where the first order is the order of ambient temperatures within a preset distance of multiple people from highest to lowest, and the second order is the order of ambient temperatures within a preset distance of multiple people from lowest to highest. When the blower is in cooling mode, the blowing sequence is at least a portion of the first order, thereby promptly cooling down users with higher ambient temperatures within the preset distance; when the blower is in heating mode, the blowing sequence is at least a portion of the second order, thereby promptly heating up users with lower ambient temperatures within the preset distance. Therefore, controlling the blower to perform the second blowing operation means that when the blower is in cooling mode, it cyclically blows air to the corresponding personnel positions according to at least a portion of the first order; when the blower is in heating mode, it cyclically blows air to the corresponding personnel positions according to at least a portion of the second order.

[0072] See appendix Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the main steps of a control blower device performing a second blower operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, controlling the blower to perform a second blower operation based on at least a portion of the blowing sequence and the positions of multiple personnel includes the following steps:

[0073] Step S501: Obtain the difference between the ambient temperatures within a preset distance between multiple people and obtain the duration of a single air blowing session for multiple people based on the difference and the working mode of the air blowing device.

[0074] Step S502: Based on at least a portion of the blowing sequence, multiple personnel positions, and the duration of a single blowing operation for multiple personnel, control the blowing device to perform a third blowing operation.

[0075] Specifically, the duration of a single air blowing session for multiple people can be obtained based on the range of differences and the working mode of the air blowing device. That is, the greater the difference between the ambient temperatures within a preset distance between people, the greater the difference in the duration of a single air blowing session for each person.

[0076] For example, the number of people indoors can be two, namely a first user and a second user. A first difference is obtained, where the first difference is the difference between the ambient temperature within a preset distance for the first user and the ambient temperature within a preset distance for the second user. When the blower is running in cooling mode, the duration of a single airflow for multiple users is determined based on the range of the first difference: if the first difference is in the range (0℃, 2℃), then the duration of a single airflow for the first user can be 2 minutes, and the duration of a single airflow for the second user can be 1 minute. Then, the third airflow operation can be performed by controlling the blower to first blow air towards the first user's location for 2 minutes, then turning to blow air towards the second user's location for 1 minute, and so on. If the first difference is in the range (2℃, 5℃), then the duration of a single airflow for multiple users can be determined as follows: If the first difference is within the range of (5℃, +∞), then the first user's single airflow duration can be 3 minutes, and the second user's single airflow duration can be 1 minute. The third airflow operation would then involve controlling the airflow device to first blow air onto the first user's location for 3 minutes, then turning to blow air onto the second user's location for 1 minute, and so on. If the first difference is within the range of (5℃, +∞), then the first user's single airflow duration can be 5 minutes, and the second user's single airflow duration can be 1 minute. The third airflow operation would then involve controlling the airflow device to first blow air onto the first user's location for 5 minutes, then turning to blow air onto the second user's location for 1 minute, and so on.

[0077] When the blower is running in heating mode, the duration of a single airflow for multiple users can be determined based on the range of the first difference: If the first difference is within the range of (0℃, 2℃), the duration of a single airflow for the second user can be 2 minutes, and the duration of a single airflow for the first user can be 1 minute. Then, the third airflow operation can be performed by controlling the blower to first blow air onto the second user's location for 2 minutes, then switching to blow air onto the first user's location for 1 minute, and so on. If the first difference is within the range of (2℃, 5℃), the duration of a single airflow for the second user can be 3 minutes, and the duration of a single airflow for the first user can be... If the duration of a single airflow to a user is 1 minute, then the third airflow operation can be performed by controlling the airflow device to first blow air onto the second user's location for 3 minutes, then turning to blow air onto the first user's location for 1 minute, and so on. If the first difference is within the range of (5℃, +∞), then the duration of a single airflow to the second user can be 5 minutes, and the duration of a single airflow to the first user can be 1 minute. Therefore, the third airflow operation can be performed by controlling the airflow device to first blow air onto the second user's location for 5 minutes, then turning to blow air onto the first user's location for 1 minute, and so on.

[0078] The values ​​for the number of people indoors, the range of differences in which the difference lies, and the setting methods for obtaining the duration of a single airflow for multiple people based on the range of differences are all just illustrative examples. In actual applications, these can be selected according to actual needs.

[0079] In some embodiments, obtaining the duration of a single air-blowing session for multiple individuals based on the difference includes the following steps:

[0080] Step S601: Determine whether the difference is greater than the preset difference.

[0081] Step S602: When the difference is greater than the preset difference, obtain the single blowing time of multiple people based on the difference.

[0082] After the blowing device performs the third blowing operation, the method further includes:

[0083] When the difference is less than the preset difference, the control blower stops performing the third blow operation and starts performing the cyclic blow operation.

[0084] Specifically, the system obtains the duration of a single airflow for multiple individuals based on the difference range they fall within when all differences are greater than a preset difference. Then, based on at least a portion of the airflow sequence, the positions of multiple individuals, and the duration of a single airflow for each individual, the system controls the air-blowing device to perform a third airflow operation. If at least one of the differences is less than or equal to the preset difference, it is no longer necessary to obtain the duration of a single airflow for multiple individuals based on the difference, nor is the system controlled to perform a third airflow operation. Instead, the system controls the air-blowing device to perform a cyclic airflow operation or a second airflow operation based on at least a portion of the airflow sequence and the positions of multiple individuals. The cyclic airflow operation can perform a preset duration of airflow for at least a portion of the indoor individuals according to a preset airflow sequence; alternatively, the cyclic airflow operation can also perform a preset duration of airflow for at least a portion of the indoor individuals according to a random airflow sequence.

[0085] For example, the preset difference can be 1°C, and the number of people indoors can be 3, namely, the first user, the second user, and the third user. A second difference and a third difference are obtained, wherein the second difference is the difference between the ambient temperature within a preset distance of the first user and the ambient temperature within a preset distance of the second user, and the third difference is the difference between the ambient temperature within a preset distance of the first user and the ambient temperature within a preset distance of the third user. Taking the cooling mode of the blower as an example, if the second difference is in the range of (1℃, 2℃), the third difference is also in the range of (1℃, 2℃), and the ambient temperature within the preset distance of the second user is greater than the ambient temperature within the preset distance of the third user, then the single blowing time of the first user can be 2 minutes, the single blowing time of the second user can be 1 minute, and the single blowing time of the third user can also be 1 minute. Then, the third blowing operation can be performed by first blowing air towards the position of the first user for 2 minutes, then blowing air towards the position of the second user for 1 minute, then blowing air towards the position of the third user for 1 minute, and so on, until the difference between the ambient temperatures within the preset distance of the first user, the preset distance of the second user, and the preset distance of the third user is less than or equal to 1℃. Then, the blower is controlled to blow air towards the first user, the second user, and the third user for 30 seconds in order of distance from the user from closest to farthest, and the cycle can be repeated. Alternatively, the blower can be controlled to blow air towards the first user, the second user, and the third user for 30 seconds in a random order and the cycle can be repeated.

[0086] If the second difference is within the range of (2℃, 5℃), the third difference is also within the range of (2℃, 5℃), and the ambient temperature within the preset distance of the second user is greater than the ambient temperature within the preset distance of the third user, then the single blowing time for the first user can be 3 minutes, the single blowing time for the second user can be 1 minute, and the single blowing time for the third user can also be 1 minute. Then, the third blowing operation can be performed by first blowing air towards the first user's location for 3 minutes, then blowing air towards the second user's location for 1 minute, then blowing air towards the second user's location for 1 minute, and so on, until the difference between the ambient temperatures within the preset distances of the first user, the second user, and the third user is less than or equal to 1℃. Then, the blowing device is controlled to blow air towards the first user, the second user, and the third user for 30 seconds in order of increasing distance from the user, and the cycle can be repeated. Alternatively, the blowing device can be controlled to blow air towards the first user, the second user, and the third user for 30 seconds in a random order and the cycle can be repeated.

[0087] If the second difference is within the range of (5℃, +∞), the third difference is also within the range of (5℃, +∞), and the ambient temperature within the preset distance of the second user is greater than the ambient temperature within the preset distance of the third user, then the single blowing time for the first user can be 5 minutes, the single blowing time for the second user can be 1 minute, and the single blowing time for the third user can also be 1 minute. Then, the third blowing operation can be performed by first blowing air towards the location of the first user for 5 minutes, then blowing air towards the location of the second user for 1 minute, then blowing air towards the location of the third user for 1 minute, and so on, until the difference between the ambient temperatures within the preset distances of the first user, the second user, and the third user is less than or equal to 1℃. Then, the blowing device is controlled to blow air towards the first user, the second user, and the third user for 30 seconds in order of increasing distance from the user, and the cycle can be repeated. Alternatively, the blowing device can be controlled to blow air towards the first user, the second user, and the third user for 30 seconds in a random order and the cycle can be repeated.

[0088] The values ​​for the number of people indoors, the range of differences, the comparison results of ambient temperatures within preset distances for different users, the setting method for obtaining the duration of a single airflow for multiple people based on the range of differences, and the setting for cyclic airflow are all just examples. In actual applications, they can be selected according to actual needs.

[0089] In some embodiments, determining whether the number of people indoors meets a preset quantity condition includes: determining whether the number of people indoors is less than a second preset value, wherein the second preset value is a positive integer and the second preset value is greater than or equal to 2.

[0090] See appendix Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the main steps when the number of people indoors does not meet a preset number condition, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, when the preset quantity condition is that the number of people indoors is less than a second preset value, wherein the second preset value is a positive integer and greater than or equal to 2, the method further includes:

[0091] Step S701: When the number of people indoors does not meet the preset number condition, obtain the degree of personnel gathering.

[0092] Step S702: Obtain the gathering location of people that meets the preset gathering conditions.

[0093] Step S703: Based on the gathering location and indoor personnel information, control the blower to perform the fourth blower operation.

[0094] Specifically, when the number of people indoors does not meet the preset number condition, it indicates that the number of people indoors is greater than the second preset value, meaning there are too many people indoors. In this case, if targeted air blowing is only applied to at least some of the people indoors based on the indoor personnel information, the air blowing efficiency of the air blowing device will be reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the degree of personnel gathering to control the air blowing device. The degree of personnel gathering refers to the number of people within a preset range. The preset gathering condition can be a gathering where the number of people within the preset range of multiple degree of personnel gathering is greater than or equal to a preset number of people to gather. Controlling the air blowing device to perform the fourth air blowing operation based on the gathering location and indoor personnel information can be done by controlling the air blowing device to first blow air onto the gathering location that meets the preset gathering condition, and then blow air onto other personnel locations after completing the blowing on the gathering location that meets the preset gathering condition, and so on. Among them, the air blowing on the gathering location that meets the preset gathering condition is in descending order of the degree of personnel gathering; other personnel locations are those not included in the gathering location that meets the preset gathering condition. The ambient temperature within a preset distance of these personnel is compared, and air blowing is applied to other personnel locations based on at least part of the comparison results.

[0095] For example, the second preset value can be 4, and the number of people indoors can be 9, which can be users one through nine. The number of people indoors is greater than or equal to the second preset value, meaning the number of people indoors does not meet the preset quantity condition. The preset range can be 3 square meters, and the preset gathering condition is a gathering of 3 or more people within 3 square meters. If two levels of personnel gathering are found indoors, namely a first level and a second level, where the first level is 4 people within 3 square meters (including users one through four), and the second level is 3 people within 3 square meters (including users five through seven), then both the first and second levels of gathering meet the preset gathering condition. The indoor personnel not included in the gathering location that meets the preset gathering condition are users eight and nine, and the ambient temperature within a preset distance of user eight is greater than the ambient temperature within a preset distance of user nine. Taking the air blower as an example, when the air blower is running in cooling mode, the fourth air blower operation can be performed by controlling the air blower to first blow air onto the first gathering position of people for 3 minutes, then blow air onto the second gathering position of people for 3 minutes, then blow air onto the eighth user position for 1 minute, then blow air onto the ninth user position for 1 minute, and so on.

[0096] The values ​​of the second preset value, the number of people indoors, the preset range, the preset gathering conditions, the working mode of the air blowing device, the comparison results of the ambient temperature within the preset distance of people, and the values ​​of different blowing durations mentioned above are all just examples. In actual applications, they can be selected according to actual needs.

[0097] In some embodiments, the method further includes: setting a preset number of wind direction changes; and controlling the air blower to perform a fourth air blowing operation based on the preset number of wind direction changes. That is, the preset number of wind direction changes is the maximum number of wind direction changes the air blower can perform when performing the fourth air blowing operation, thereby improving the overall comfort of people indoors.

[0098] For example, the preset number of wind direction changes can be 3, meaning that the blowing device can only change the wind direction a maximum of 3 times when performing the fourth blowing operation. The preset number of wind direction changes mentioned above is only for illustrative purposes, and can be selected according to actual needs in practical applications.

[0099] See appendix Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the main steps of controlling the compressor of a blower device to perform corresponding operations according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the blower further includes a compressor, and the method further includes the following steps:

[0100] Step S801: Obtain the number of people indoors and compare the number of people indoors with a third preset value, wherein the third preset value is a positive integer and the third preset value is greater than or equal to 2.

[0101] Step S802: When the number of people indoors is less than the third preset value, control the compressor to run at the first frequency.

[0102] Step S803: When the number of people in the room is greater than or equal to the third preset value, control the compressor to run at the second frequency, where the second frequency is greater than the first frequency.

[0103] When there are few people in the room, the compressor can be controlled to operate at a lower first frequency. When the number of people in the room increases, the compressor's operating frequency is increased to a second frequency. This setting ensures user comfort while avoiding unnecessary energy waste. The second frequency can be a preset frequency value added to the first frequency; or the second frequency can be a preset multiple of the first frequency, where the preset multiple is greater than 1.

[0104] For example, the third preset value can be 4, meaning that when the number of people indoors is less than 4, the compressor of the blower operates at a first frequency; when the number of people indoors is greater than or equal to 4, the compressor of the blower operates at a second frequency. The preset frequency value can be 50Hz, meaning the second frequency is 50Hz higher than the first frequency; or, the preset multiple can be 1.1, meaning the second frequency is 1.1 times the first frequency. The values ​​of the third preset value, the preset frequency value, and the preset multiple described above are only illustrative examples and can be selected according to actual needs in practical applications.
