[0049] The application first provides an air conditioner and intelligent device interconnection control method, which can realize intelligent interconnection of the air conditioner and the intelligent device, so as to provide a smart home appliance interconnection scene and effectively improve the intelligent degree.

[0050] Specifically, the air conditioner and the intelligent device are in the same environment space, so as to facilitate the air conditioner and the intelligent device to work cooperatively and jointly adjust the environment parameter in the environment space. For example, the air conditioner and the intelligent device are both in the same master bedroom space or both in the same secondary bedroom space.

[0051] It should be noted that the methods of the following embodiments of the application are described from the side of the air conditioner and intelligent device interconnection control device, that is, the control device executes the related steps. Moreover, the premise of realizing the following embodiment schemes of the application is that the air conditioner and the intelligent device are interconnected. Specifically, the air conditioner and the intelligent device can be provided with an air conditioner and intelligent device interconnection control device therebetween, through which the air conditioner and the intelligent device can send and receive signals. The control device can be additionally and independently provided or arranged in the air conditioner.

[0052] The intelligent device in the embodiment has the intelligent feature, which is due to the fact that it can send and receive signals to and from the control device as mentioned above. Specifically, a controller can be arranged on the intelligent device to achieve this. Similarly, the air conditioner can also be provided with its own controller, so as to send and receive signals to and from the control device.

[0053] The intelligent device interconnected with the air conditioner of the application at least includes an intelligent curtain and an intelligent lighting device.

[0054] Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of the air conditioner and intelligent device interconnection control method according to an embodiment of the application. Referring to Figure 1 The air conditioner and intelligent device interconnection control method of the application includes:

[0055] Step S10, judging whether a user in the environment space has a clothes changing intention; if yes, proceeding to step S20; if no, returning to continue judging; and

[0056] Step S20, controlling the intelligent curtain to be completely unfolded and starting the intelligent lighting device.

[0057] The interconnection control method of the present application firstly judges whether the user in the environmental space has a clothes-changing intention, if the user has a clothes-changing intention, controls the smart curtain to fully expand, and starts the smart lighting device, so as to shield the outdoor view through the smart curtain, protect the user privacy, and compensate for the problem of dark light caused by the expansion of the smart curtain to make the user perform the clothes-changing operation in the bright indoor environment.

[0058] It can be seen that the interconnection control method of the present application can intelligently obtain the clothes-changing intention of the user, and meet the actual needs of the user by adjusting the state of the smart device, and has a high degree of intelligence and good user experience.

[0059] It should be noted that the fully expanded state of the smart curtain means that the smart curtain can completely shield the window corresponding thereto, so as to more comprehensively and effectively protect the privacy of the user.

[0060] In some embodiments, the step S20 of controlling the smart curtain to fully expand and starting the smart lighting device can specifically include:

[0061] obtaining the initial state of the smart curtain and the initial state of the smart lighting device;

[0062] if the initial state of the smart curtain is a non-fully expanded state, adjusting it to a fully expanded state, if the initial state of the smart curtain is a fully expanded state, keeping the state of the smart curtain unchanged, and

[0063] if the initial state of the smart lighting device is a closed state, adjusting it to a started state, if the initial state of the smart lighting device is a started state, keeping the state of the smart lighting device unchanged.

[0064] It should be noted that the non-fully expanded state of the smart curtain includes all states except the fully expanded state of the smart curtain, for example, the non-fully expanded state of the smart curtain not only includes the state of the smart curtain being completely rolled up, but also includes the state of the smart curtain being partially expanded. In the non-fully expanded state, the window corresponding to the smart curtain is at least partially exposed. In the fully expanded state, the window corresponding to the smart curtain is completely shielded.

[0065] The user may perform the clothes-changing operation in various situations. For example, when the user just gets up, the smart curtain may be in a fully expanded state at this time, in which case the state of the smart curtain does not need to be adjusted, and the fully expanded state is kept; the smart curtain may be in a semi-expanded state, in which case the smart curtain needs to be adjusted to a fully expanded state. For another example, when the user needs to change clothes during the day, the smart curtain is mostly in a non-fully expanded initial state, and the smart curtain needs to be adjusted to a fully expanded state.

[0066] Therefore, before adjusting the state of the smart window curtain, the initial state of the smart window curtain can be acquired, and adjustment can be performed if necessary.

[0067] Similarly, the user has a clothing changing intention in different situations, and the initial state of the smart lighting device can also be different. For example, when the user changes clothes at night or gets up early to change clothes, the light of the outdoor environment is relatively dark, and the user has started the smart lighting device before having the clothing changing intention. When the user has the clothing changing intention, the state of the smart lighting device does not need to be adjusted, and the starting state can be maintained. For another example, when the user needs to change clothes during the day, most of the smart lighting devices are in the initial state of being turned off, and the smart lighting device needs to be started.

[0068] Therefore, before adjusting the state of the smart lighting device, the initial state of the smart lighting device can be acquired, and adjustment can be performed if necessary.

[0069] Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of an air conditioner and smart device interconnection control method according to another embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 2 The air conditioner and smart device interconnection control method of the present application comprises:

[0070] Step S10, determining whether a user in an environment space has a clothing changing intention; if yes, proceeding to step S20; if no, returning to continue determining;

[0071] Step S21, acquiring an initial state of a smart window curtain and an initial state of a smart lighting device;

[0072] Step S22, determining whether the initial state of the smart window curtain is a fully unfolded state; if yes, proceeding to step S23; if no, proceeding to step S24;

[0073] Step S23, maintaining the state of the smart window curtain unchanged;

[0074] Step S24, adjusting the smart window curtain to the fully unfolded state;

[0075] Step S25, determining whether the initial state of the smart lighting device is a starting state; if yes, proceeding to step S26; if no, proceeding to step S27;

[0076] Step S26, maintaining the state of the smart lighting device unchanged; and

[0077] Step S27, adjusting the smart lighting device to the starting state.

[0078] It can be understood that the order of the above steps S22 and S25 can be interchanged, that is, the state of the smart window curtain can be determined first, and then the state of the smart lighting device can be determined, or the state of the smart lighting device can be determined first, and then the state of the smart window curtain can be determined.

[0079] In some embodiments, the environmental space includes a cloakroom for providing storage and changing space. In these embodiments, step S10, which determines whether a user in the environmental space intends to change clothes, may specifically include:

[0080] Obtain the user's location within the environmental space;

[0081] Determine whether the user's current location is within a walk-in closet; and

[0082] If so, it is determined that the user intends to change clothes.

[0083] When there is a cloakroom in the environment, users usually change clothes in the cloakroom. Therefore, the interconnection control method of the present invention is more reasonable and more in line with the actual situation to determine whether the user intends to change clothes based on whether the user is in the cloakroom, thus improving the accuracy of the determination of the user's intention to change clothes.

[0084] Furthermore, the steps for obtaining the user's location within the environmental space may specifically include:

[0085] The user's location is obtained through a human body detection device installed in the air conditioner.

[0086] In other words, the location of the user can be obtained by using the human body detection device already on the air conditioner, making full use of the existing structure of the air conditioner.

[0087] Specifically, the human body detection device includes radar sensors and / or infrared sensors. Since detecting human body location using radar and infrared are techniques readily known to those skilled in the art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0088] In some embodiments, after controlling the smart curtains to fully unfold and activating the smart lighting device, the interconnection control method of the present invention further includes:

[0089] Determine if the user has left the cloakroom; and

[0090] If so, the smart curtains and smart lighting devices will be restored to their initial state.

[0091] After the user leaves the dressing room, indicating that the user has finished changing clothes, the smart curtains and smart lighting devices are automatically restored to their initial states. This helps to restore the environment before the user changed clothes, without requiring manual operation from the user. It automatically adapts to the user's actual needs and improves the user's smart user experience.

[0092] Specifically, the steps to determine whether a user has left the cloakroom may include:

[0093] Retrieve the user's location within the environment;

[0094] Determine whether the location of the user being retrieved again belongs to the dressing room;

[0095] If not, it is determined that the user has left the cloakroom; if so, it is determined that the user has not left the cloakroom, and the system returns to continue obtaining the user's location.

[0096] Specifically, Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an interconnection control method between an air conditioner and a smart device according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 3 In some other embodiments, the interconnection control method between the air conditioner and the smart device of the present invention includes:

[0097] Step S111: Obtain the user's location within the environmental space;

[0098] Step S112: Determine whether the user's current location is a walk-in closet; if so, proceed to step S13.

[0099] Step S113: Determine that the user intends to change clothes;

[0100] Step S20: Control the smart curtains to fully unfold and activate the smart lighting device;

[0101] Step S30: Determine if the user has left the cloakroom; if yes, proceed to step S40; if no, return to continue the determination.

[0102] Step S40: Control the smart curtains and smart lighting devices to return to their initial state.

[0103] In some embodiments, the ambient space has a smart clothes rack for providing garment support, the air conditioner is also interconnected with the smart clothes rack, and the smart device also includes the smart clothes rack. In these embodiments, step S10, which determines whether a user in the ambient space intends to change clothes, may specifically include:

[0104] Obtain the total pressure exerted by the smart clothes hanger;

[0105] Determine whether the total pressure on the smart clothes hanger has decreased; and

[0106] If the total pressure on the smart clothes hanger decreases, it is determined that the user intends to change clothes.

[0107] When a smart clothes rack is present in the environment, users typically take clothes from it when changing, which reduces the total pressure on the rack. Therefore, the interconnected control method of this invention obtains the total pressure on the smart clothes rack and determines whether the user intends to change clothes based on whether the total pressure decreases. This approach is more reasonable, more in line with reality, and improves the accuracy of determining the user's intention to change clothes.

[0108] Furthermore, the steps for obtaining the total pressure borne by the smart clothes hanger may specifically include:

[0109] The total pressure borne by the smart clothes hanger is obtained by a pressure detection device installed on the smart clothes hanger.

[0110] Specifically, the pressure detection device can be a pressure sensor.

[0111] In some embodiments, after controlling the smart curtains to fully unfold and activating the smart lighting device, the interconnection control method of the present invention further includes:

[0112] The total pressure borne by the smart clothes hanger was obtained again;

[0113] Determine whether the total pressure borne by the smart clothes hanger changes within the first preset time period after it is acquired again;

[0114] If no changes are observed, the smart curtains and smart lighting devices will be restored to their initial states.

[0115] If the total pressure borne by the smart clothes hanger does not change within the first preset time, it means that the user has finished changing clothes. At this time, the smart curtains and smart lighting devices will be automatically restored to their respective initial states, which helps to restore the environment before the user changed clothes. No manual operation is required from the user. It automatically adapts to the user's actual needs and improves the user's smart user experience.

[0116] Specifically, Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an interconnection control method between an air conditioner and a smart device according to another embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 4 In some further embodiments, the interconnection control method between the air conditioner and the smart device of the present invention includes:

[0117] Step S121: Obtain the total pressure borne by the smart clothes hanger;

[0118] Step S122: Determine whether the total pressure borne by the smart clothes hanger has decreased; if so, proceed to step S123.

[0119] Step S123: Determine that the user intends to change clothes;

[0120] Step S20: Control the smart curtains to fully unfold and activate the smart lighting device;

[0121] Step S50: Obtain the total pressure borne by the smart clothes hanger again;

[0122] Step S60: Determine whether the total pressure acquired again has changed within the first preset time period; if not, proceed to step S70; if yes, return to step S50; and

[0123] Step S70: Control the smart curtains and smart lighting devices to return to their initial state.

[0124] The present invention also provides an interconnection control device for air conditioners and smart devices. Figure 5 This is a schematic structural block diagram of an interconnection control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The interconnection control device 20 includes a processor 21 and a memory 22. The memory 22 stores a machine-executable program 23, and when the machine-executable program 23 is executed by the processor 21, it is used to implement the interconnection control method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0125] Specifically, processor 21 can be a central processing unit (CPU) or a digital processing unit, etc. Processor 21 sends and receives data via a communication interface. Memory 22 is used to store the program executed by processor 21. Memory 22 can be any medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures, and accessible by a computer; it can also be a combination of multiple memories. The aforementioned machine-executable program 23 can be downloaded from a computer-readable storage medium to the corresponding computing / processing device or via a network (e.g., the Internet, local area network, wide area network, and / or wireless network) to a computer or external storage device.

[0126] As mentioned above, the interconnection control method between the air conditioner and the smart device in any of the above embodiments is described from the perspective of the interconnection control device 20, that is, the interconnection control device 20 performs the relevant steps. In a specific embodiment, the interconnection control device 20 is data-connected to the air conditioner and the smart device.

[0127] The interconnected control device 20 can also be various types of centralized control equipment, arranged in a designated space, to control air conditioners and smart devices. Data connection methods between the interconnected control device 20 and air conditioners and smart devices include, but are not limited to, wireless transmission, infrared transmission, and ultrasonic transmission.

[0128] In some embodiments, the interconnected control device 20 may also be part of the air conditioner, located inside the air conditioner, and connected to the air conditioner's own controller. For example, the air conditioner may have a dedicated interconnected control device inside, which works in conjunction with a controller dedicated to performing component control.

[0129] The present invention also provides an air conditioner. Figure 6 This is a schematic structural block diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner 1 has the interconnection control device 20 described in the above embodiment. That is, the interconnection control device 20 may not be disposed outside the air conditioner 1, but may be disposed on the air conditioner 1. The interconnection control device 20 and the controller of the air conditioner 1 itself may be the same component, that is, the interconnection control device 20 is used both to control the operation of the air conditioner 1 itself and to receive signals from smart devices and send signals to smart devices.

[0130] Alternatively, the interconnected control device 20 and the air conditioner's own controller can be different components; that is, the controller is used to control the operation of the air conditioner itself, and the interconnected control device 20 is used to receive signals from the smart device and send signals to the smart device. However, the interconnected control device 20 also communicates with the controller to receive signals from the air conditioner's own controller and send signals to the controller.

[0131] This invention can intelligently obtain the user's clothing changing intention and meet the user's actual needs by adjusting the state of the smart device. It has a high degree of intelligence and a good user experience.
