[0045] like Figures 1-5As shown, the present invention provides a control method for controlling the operation of an air conditioner, the air conditioner having an oxygen generating device, the control method comprising:

[0046] The S100 determines whether to turn on the oxygen generator based on the user's heart rate data.

[0047] The user's heart rate data includes at least the number of heartbeats within a certain period of time, and may also include changes in the user's heart rate within a certain period of time, in order to determine the user's exercise status and oxygen demand.

[0048] For example, if a user's heart rate gradually increases over a certain period of time, it can be determined that the user is exercising, and the oxygen concentrator can be turned on. It's understandable that a user's heart rate might rise briefly and then fall back when startled, so the time frame in the heart rate data should be as long as possible to exclude special cases.

[0049] After confirming that the oxygen generator is turned on, the S200 controls the operating frequency of the oxygen generator based on the user's heart rate data.

[0050] The operating frequency of the oxygen generator represents its oxygen production per unit time; a higher operating frequency means a higher oxygen production, resulting in more oxygen supplied by the air conditioner. This can be understood as follows: by analyzing the user's heart rate data to determine their exercise status and oxygen demand, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator can be adjusted accordingly to ensure sufficient oxygen and improve the user's aerobic exercise results.

[0051] At the same time, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator can be adjusted according to the user's heart rate data. When the user's oxygen demand is low, the oxygen generator can be controlled to operate at a low frequency, thereby avoiding the ineffective energy consumption caused by the oxygen generator producing too much oxygen due to long-term high-frequency operation.

[0052] That is, the present invention provides the oxygen required for indoor aerobic exercise by means of an oxygen generating device, and matches the appropriate amount of oxygen generated according to the heart rate to ensure sufficient oxygen and improve the effect of aerobic exercise.

[0053] In some embodiments, S200, controlling the operating frequency of the oxygen generator based on the user's heart rate data includes:

[0054] S210, determine the average heart rate within the first preset time period based on the user's heart rate data within the first preset time period.

[0055] The first preset duration is generally greater than or equal to 3.5 minutes and less than or equal to 5 minutes, with 1 minute generally used as the base duration for average heart rate. For example, if the first preset duration is t = 3.5 minutes and the recorded heart rate data within the first preset duration is g = 466 beats, then the average heart rate within the first preset duration is h = g / t = 133 beats / minute, that is, the user's average heart rate within the first preset duration is 133 beats / minute.

[0056] Understandably, determining the average heart rate using heart rate data within a first preset time period can prevent a short-term spike in heart rate caused by factors such as fright. In other words, the average heart rate can more accurately determine the user's condition.

[0057] S220 determines the first operating frequency of the oxygen generator based on the average heart rate and controls the oxygen generator to operate at the first operating frequency.

[0058] Since the average heart rate can more accurately determine the user's condition, controlling the operating frequency of the oxygen generator based on the average heart rate can provide the user with a suitable amount of oxygen in a timely and accurate manner without wasting the power consumption of the air conditioner.

[0059] In some embodiments, S220, determining a first operating frequency of the oxygen generator based on the average heart rate includes:

[0060] Determine the heart rate zone in which the average heart rate falls based on the average heart rate.

[0061] The heart rate zones are multiple preset heart rate value ranges in the air conditioner's control center. Each heart rate zone includes a range of average heart rates, and a corresponding preset frequency is set for each heart rate zone in the control center. For example, there are three heart rate zones: a low heart rate zone Q, a central heart rate zone W, and a high heart rate zone E. The preset frequency corresponding to the low heart rate zone Q is low frequency A, the preset frequency corresponding to the central heart rate zone W is medium frequency B, and the preset frequency corresponding to the high heart rate zone E is high frequency C. It should be noted that low frequency A, medium frequency C, and high frequency C can be fixed values ​​or range values.

[0062] Based on the heart rate zone where the average heart rate is located, a preset frequency corresponding to the heart rate zone is determined, and the first running frequency is determined as the preset frequency.

[0063] Referring to the above description, if the average heart rate L belongs to the low heart rate zone Q, then the first operating frequency is determined to be low frequency A; if the average heart rate L belongs to the medium heart rate zone W, then the first operating frequency is determined to be medium frequency B; if the average heart rate belongs to the high heart rate zone E, then the first operating frequency is determined to be high frequency C.

[0064] Specific implementation methods are as follows:

[0065] If the average heart rate is greater than the first standard heart rate and less than or equal to the second standard heart rate, then the oxygen generator should be controlled to operate at a low frequency.

[0066] If the average heart rate is greater than the second standard heart rate and less than or equal to the third standard heart rate, then control the oxygen generator to operate at medium frequency.

[0067] If the average heart rate is greater than the third standard heart rate, the oxygen generator will be controlled to operate at high frequency.

[0068] Among them, the oxygen production capacity of the oxygen generating device when operating at medium frequency is greater than that when operating at low frequency, and the oxygen production capacity of the oxygen generating device when operating at high frequency is greater than that when operating at medium frequency.

[0069] Understandably, the third standard heart rate is greater than the second standard heart rate, and the second standard heart rate is greater than the first standard heart rate. That is, as the average heart rate gradually increases, the user's oxygen consumption also increases, thereby controlling the oxygen generation frequency of the oxygen generator to increase to meet the user's oxygen consumption needs.

[0070] The oxygen generator operates at three frequency bands—low, medium, and high—corresponding to different heart rate ranges. Each frequency band has a specific range: low, medium, and high. Therefore, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator can be gradually increased within the corresponding frequency range.

[0071] If the first standard heart rate is 120 beats / minute and the second standard heart rate is 140 beats / minute, the average heart rate increases from 120 beats / minute to 139 beats / minute. Therefore, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator needs to be increased to a higher frequency within the low-frequency operating range to meet the user's oxygen consumption needs.

[0072] Meanwhile, as the user's average heart rate gradually decreases, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator can be adjusted accordingly, thereby avoiding excessive oxygen production and unnecessary power consumption caused by excessively high frequency oxygen production.

[0073] If the first standard heart rate is 120 beats / minute and the second standard heart rate is 140 beats / minute, the average heart rate increases from 139 beats / minute to 120 beats / minute. Therefore, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator needs to be reduced to a lower frequency within the low-frequency operating range to avoid unnecessary power consumption caused by excessive continuous high-frequency oxygen production.

[0074] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0075] The user's maximum heart rate for aerobic exercise is determined based on the user's age preset in the air conditioner's controller.

[0076] Generally, maximum heart rate = 220 - user age. For example, if the user is 20 years old, then the user's maximum heart rate during aerobic exercise is determined to be 220 - 20 = 200 beats per minute.

[0077] Based on the maximum heart rate, determine the first standard heart rate, the second standard heart rate, and the third standard heart rate.

[0078] Generally, the first standard heart rate = maximum heart rate * 50% = 110 beats / minute; the second standard heart rate = maximum heart rate * 60% = 120 beats / minute; and the third standard heart rate = maximum heart rate * 80% = 160 beats / minute.

[0079] That is, multiple standard heart rates can be determined based on the user's age to suit different users' age, thereby adapting to the oxygen consumption needs of different users at different heart rates and ensuring the aerobic exercise effect of different users.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first standard heart rate, the second standard heart rate, and the third standard heart rate can be preset in the controller of the air conditioner.

[0081] In some embodiments, when the average heart rate is greater than a first standard heart rate, the control method further includes:

[0082] As the average heart rate gradually increases, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator gradually increases.

[0083] As the average heart rate gradually decreases, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator is gradually reduced.

[0084] Because there is a significant difference between the first and second standard heart rates, when the average heart rate is close to but just below the second standard heart rate, the user's oxygen consumption is much higher than when the average heart rate is at the first standard heart rate. Therefore, even though both average heart rates fall within the first and second standard heart rate ranges, the user's oxygen consumption differs considerably. Consequently, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator needs to be adjusted in real-time based on the average heart rate to ensure that the user's oxygen consumption requirements during aerobic exercise are met.

[0085] In some embodiments, after the oxygen generator has been running at its maximum frequency for a second preset duration, the control method further includes:

[0086] If the indoor oxygen content is lower than the preset oxygen content, the fresh air module of the air conditioner will be turned on to introduce fresh outdoor air.

[0087] The preset oxygen content is the oxygen content data stored in the air conditioner controller. It represents the minimum oxygen content required for users to perform aerobic exercise. If the oxygen content is lower than the preset oxygen content, the effect of aerobic exercise will be extremely poor.

[0088] Among them, outdoor fresh air can bring in fresh air, which contains oxygen, thus replenishing the oxygen in the room.

[0089] Therefore, when the oxygen generator operates at the maximum frequency for the second preset time, if the indoor oxygen content is lower than the preset oxygen content, it means that the indoor oxygen content is insufficient. The fresh air module is then turned on to introduce fresh outdoor air to supplement the indoor oxygen content.

[0090] After the fresh air module is turned on, the fan speed of the fresh air module is adjusted according to the indoor oxygen content.

[0091] The fresh air module is used to introduce fresh outdoor air. The speed of the fresh air module fan is the air volume of fresh outdoor air introduced. The faster the speed, the more fresh outdoor air is introduced, and the more oxygen can enter the room.

[0092] In some embodiments, adjusting the fan speed of the fresh air module according to the indoor oxygen content includes:

[0093] When the indoor oxygen content is less than or equal to the first standard oxygen content, control the fan to run at a high speed.

[0094] When the indoor oxygen content is greater than the first standard oxygen content and less than or equal to the second standard oxygen content, control the fan to run at a medium speed.

[0095] When the indoor oxygen content is greater than the second standard oxygen content but less than the preset oxygen content, the fan is controlled to run at a low speed.

[0096] Among them, the fresh air volume of the fan running at a high speed is higher than that of the fan running at a medium speed, and the fresh air volume of the fan running at a medium speed is higher than that of the fan running at a low speed.

[0097] Among them, the oxygen content of the first standard is less than that of the second standard, and the oxygen content of the second standard is less than the preset oxygen content.

[0098] In other words, the lower the indoor oxygen level, the more oxygen needs to be replenished. Therefore, the fresh air module's fan speed should be controlled at a high setting to meet the indoor oxygen demand. Conversely, when the indoor oxygen level is slightly lower, less oxygen needs to be replenished. Thus, the fresh air module's fan speed should be controlled at a low setting to replenish the indoor oxygen while avoiding increased power consumption from operating the fan at a high setting. In short, by controlling the fan speed based on the indoor oxygen level, both oxygen replenishment and energy consumption can be managed effectively, avoiding unnecessary increases in power consumption.

[0099] In some embodiments, a first standard oxygen content, a second standard oxygen content, a third standard oxygen content, and a preset oxygen content can be determined based on the number of people in the room.

[0100] It is understandable that the number of people indoors will affect the rate of oxygen consumption, and therefore the corresponding first standard oxygen content, second standard oxygen content, third standard oxygen content, and preset oxygen content will also be different.

[0101] Specifically, when multiple users are exercising indoors, the oxygen consumption rate of each person can be determined based on their heart rate, and then the preset oxygen content can be determined based on each person's oxygen consumption rate, the number of people, and the real-time oxygen content.

[0102] Specifically, the first standard oxygen content, the second standard oxygen content, and the third standard oxygen content can be determined based on each person's oxygen consumption rate and the number of people.

[0103] In some embodiments, S100, determining whether to turn on the oxygen generator based on the user's heart rate data includes:

[0104] The average heart rate within the first preset time period is determined based on the user's heart rate data within the first preset time period.

[0105] Specifically, determining the average heart rate within the first preset duration based on heart rate data can be done by referring to the method in S200 of "determining the average heart rate within the first preset duration based on heart rate data." Generally, the second preset duration is usually set to 3.5 minutes to 5 minutes to minimize interference from other factors on the average heart rate.

[0106] Determine whether the average heart rate is greater than or equal to the heart rate threshold.

[0107] The heart rate threshold is a preset data in the air conditioner's controller, used to determine whether the user is in an exercise state. Generally, when the user is in an exercise state, their heart rate will be larger. Therefore, it can be determined that when the average heart rate is greater than or equal to the heart rate threshold, the user is in an exercise state, and the oxygen generator can be controlled to turn on.

[0108] In some embodiments, the heart rate threshold may be determined by collecting heart rate data from the user multiple times during exercise, or it may be determined based on the user's age.

[0109] When the average heart rate is determined to be greater than or equal to the heart rate threshold, the oxygen generator is turned on.

[0110] In some embodiments, S100, determining whether to turn on the oxygen generator based on the user's heart rate data includes:

[0111] Determine whether to turn on the oxygen generator based on the trends in indoor oxygen levels and the user's heart rate.

[0112] Indoor oxygen content represents the total amount of oxygen in the room, which can be used to determine the user's oxygen consumption and demand. For example, if the indoor oxygen content is determined to be lower than the preset oxygen content, the oxygen generator will be turned on to ensure sufficient indoor oxygen. Or, if the indoor oxygen consumption rate is determined to be higher than the preset value, the oxygen generator will be turned on to ensure that there is enough indoor oxygen for the user.

[0113] Therefore, by combining changes in indoor oxygen levels with the user's heart rate data, it is possible to better determine the user's condition and oxygen status, and thus determine whether an oxygen generator is needed, avoiding the waste of electricity caused by misjudgment leading to the activation of the oxygen generator.

[0114] The trend of indoor oxygen content change represents the change in indoor oxygen levels over a certain period of time, and the oxygen consumption rate can be determined based on this trend.

[0115] Among them, the trend of user heart rate change is the change of user heart rate over a certain period of time, and the user's exercise status can be determined based on the trend of heart rate change.

[0116] When the indoor oxygen content gradually decreases and the user's heart rate gradually increases, turn on the oxygen generator.

[0117] Understandably, a user's heart rate can spike momentarily due to startle or other factors. Therefore, assessing the heart rate trend over a period of time can accurately determine the user's condition. In other words, by analyzing the trends in indoor oxygen levels and the user's heart rate, it can be determined whether the user is engaged in aerobic exercise. Once it is confirmed that the user is in an aerobic state, the oxygen generator can be activated to provide oxygen to the room.

[0118] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0119] The oxygen generator is turned off after the user's average heart rate gradually decreases to the baseline heart rate.

[0120] The baseline heart rate is the user's normal heart rate when they are not exercising. In other words, the baseline heart rate can be determined by recording the user's normal heart rate when they are not exercising.

[0121] That is, after confirming that the user has recovered to the baseline heart rate, the oxygen generator is turned off, thereby saving energy, reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioner, and avoiding excessive oxygen production.

[0122] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0123] When the indoor air quality is lower than the preset standard, control the air conditioner to turn on the fresh air mode.

[0124] The preset standard quality is the minimum standard air quality required for daily life. It can be a factory preset value in the air conditioner controller, or it can be set by the user later via mobile phone, remote control, etc.

[0125] The fresh air module can both introduce fresh outdoor air and filter and purify indoor air, thereby improving indoor air quality. Specifically, the air conditioner can choose whether to introduce fresh outdoor air or purify and filter indoor air to improve air quality, depending on the outdoor and indoor air quality.

[0126] Generally, if the outdoor air quality is higher than the outdoor air quality, outdoor air is introduced to improve indoor air quality. If the indoor air quality is higher than the outdoor air quality, indoor air is purified and filtered to improve indoor air quality.

[0127] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0128] Determine the first difference between the set temperature and the indoor temperature.

[0129] The first difference is the absolute value of the difference between the set temperature and the indoor temperature, and its magnitude can represent whether the indoor temperature is too cold or too hot.

[0130] The operating frequency of the compressor is adjusted based on the first difference.

[0131] If the first difference is less than or equal to the preset value, the compressor is controlled to operate at a low frequency.

[0132] If the first difference is greater than the preset value, the compression molding machine will be controlled to run at high frequency.

[0133] In other words, it can be understood that the first difference can be used to determine whether the indoor temperature is close to the set temperature. When the difference is small, the indoor temperature is close to the set temperature, and the compressor runs at a low frequency, which can achieve energy saving. When the difference is large, the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature is large, and the compressor runs at a high frequency, which can quickly bring the indoor temperature closer to the set temperature.

[0134] In some embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0135] Determine whether the air conditioner's fresh air module should be activated for internal circulation purification based on indoor air quality.

[0136] The internal circulation purification function connects the fresh air module to the indoor air inlet, allowing the fresh air module to enter through the indoor air inlet. The fresh air module can then filter, disinfect, heat, humidify, and negatively ionize the airflow.

[0137] When indoor air quality is determined to be poor, the fresh air module is controlled to activate the internal circulation purification function.

[0138] The system can determine whether the air quality is poor based on the concentration of PM2.5. When the concentration of PM2.5 is greater than the preset concentration, the air quality is determined to be poor, and the fresh air module is then controlled to start the internal circulation purification function. For example, if the preset concentration of PM2.5 is 76 μg / m3, and the indoor PM2.5 concentration is greater than 76 μg / m3, the indoor air quality is determined to be poor.

[0139] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a control device 10, including an acquisition module 100 and a control module 300. The acquisition module 100 is further configured to acquire the user's heart rate data. The control module 300 is configured to determine whether to turn on the oxygen generator based on the user's heart rate data. The control module 300 is further configured to control the operating frequency of the oxygen generator based on the user's heart rate data after determining that the oxygen generator is turned on.

[0140] Specifically, the methods for obtaining a user's heart rate include collecting data through electronic devices worn by the user, such as fitness trackers and watches, and determining the user's heart rate in real time by linking the data collection device with the air conditioner.

[0141] In some embodiments, the user's heart rate information can also be collected by a data acquisition device such as millimeter-wave radar installed in the air conditioner.

[0142] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, which may include components such as a processor 601 with one or more processing cores, a memory 602 with one or more computer-readable storage media, a power supply 603, and an input unit 604. Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described structure of the air conditioner does not constitute a limitation on the air conditioner, and it may include more or fewer components, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements. Wherein:

[0143] The processor 601 is the control center of the air conditioner. It connects to various parts of the air conditioner via various interfaces and lines. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 602, and by calling data stored in the memory 602, it performs various functions and processes data, thereby providing overall monitoring of the air conditioner. Optionally, the processor 601 may include one or more processing cores; preferably, the processor 601 may integrate an application processor 601 and a modem processor 601. The application processor 601 mainly handles the operating system, user interface, and computer programs, while the modem processor 601 mainly handles wireless communication. It is understood that the modem processor 601 may also not be integrated into the processor 601.

[0144] The memory 602 can be used to store software programs and modules. The processor 601 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory. The memory may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system, computer programs required for at least one function (such as sound playback function, image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created according to the use of the server, etc. In addition, the memory may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device. Accordingly, the memory may also include a memory controller to provide the processor 601 with access to the memory.

[0145] The air conditioner also includes a power supply 603 that supplies power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 603 can be logically connected to the processor 601 through a power management system, thereby enabling functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system. The power supply may also include one or more DC or AC power supplies, a recharging system, a power fault detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator, or any other components.

[0146] The air conditioner may also include an input unit 604, which can be used to receive input digital or character information, and generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function control.

[0147] Although not shown, the air conditioner may also include a display unit, etc., which will not be described in detail here. Specifically, in this embodiment, the processor 601 in the air conditioner loads the executable files corresponding to the processes of one or more computer programs into the memory 602 according to the following instructions, and the processor 601 runs the computer programs stored in the memory 602 to perform the following steps:

[0148] Determine whether to turn on the oxygen generator based on the user's heart rate data;

[0149] After confirming that the oxygen generator is turned on, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator is controlled based on the user's heart rate data.

[0150] This air conditioner invention provides the oxygen needed for indoor aerobic exercise through an oxygen-generating device, and matches the appropriate oxygen production amount according to the heart rate to ensure sufficient oxygen and improve the effect of aerobic exercise.

[0151] Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the steps in any of the methods in the above embodiments can be performed by a computer program or by a computer program controlling related hardware. The computer program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium and loaded and executed by the processor 601.

[0152] Furthermore, the air conditioner 50 of the present invention also includes a fresh air module 51, a fresh air inlet duct 52 connected to the fresh air module 51, and an indoor air inlet 53. The air conditioner 50 is also provided with a baffle 54 that can move between a first position and a second position. When the baffle 54 is in the first position, it blocks the fresh air inlet duct 52, isolating the fresh air inlet duct 52 from the fresh air module 51, while the indoor air inlet 53 is connected to the fresh air module 51, and the air conditioner 50 enters the internal circulation purification mode. When the baffle 54 is in the second position, it blocks the indoor air inlet 53, isolating the indoor air inlet 53 from the fresh air module 51, and the air conditioner 50 enters the external circulation mode, introducing outdoor fresh air.

[0153] In this invention, unless the internal circulation purification mode is explicitly activated, activating the fresh air module 51 generally refers to activating the external circulation mode of the fresh air module 51.

[0154] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the baffle 54 can slide between a first position and a second position.

[0155] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the baffle 54 can rotate between a first position and a second position.

[0156] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the baffle 54 may also be located in a third position between the first position and the second position. When the baffle 54 is in the third position, the fresh air intake duct 52 and the indoor air inlet 53 are simultaneously connected to the fresh air module 51.

[0157] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a storage medium storing a computer program, which is executed and loaded by a processor to perform the following steps;

[0158] Determine whether to turn on the oxygen generator based on the user's heart rate data;

[0159] After confirming that the oxygen generator is turned on, the operating frequency of the oxygen generator is controlled based on the user's heart rate data.

[0160] Through the above steps, an oxygen generator is used to provide the oxygen needed for indoor aerobic exercise, and the appropriate oxygen production is matched according to the heart rate to ensure sufficient oxygen and improve the effect of aerobic exercise.
