TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent control, and in particular to an air conditioner and a lighting device interconnection control method and device and an air conditioner. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's requirements for the quality of life are also getting higher and higher. People pay more and more attention to the comfort of the living environment, and the demand for environmental regulation equipment in daily life or work is not limited to traditional functions. More is that they can make various forms of adjustment according to the real-time needs of users. The environmental regulation equipment can be an air conditioner and other household appliances for regulating environmental air parameters. However, most of the current environmental regulation equipment cannot well interpret the concept of interconnection with other devices due to the limitations of their own functions and structures. For example, the current air conditioner and lighting device cannot be effectively interconnected, cannot be intelligently adjusted according to the actual state of each other, and the user experience is poor. SUMMARY

[0003] The inventor realizes that more and more parents will choose to use electronic devices such as home teaching machines and student tablets to assist children in learning. However, when children rest in a room at night, they cannot help but indulge in games and short videos on electronic devices, which leads to a reduction in sleep time. Even adults cannot help but look at their mobile phones after the children fall asleep. Over time, it affects vision health and even overall health.

[0004] Therefore, one object of the first aspect of the present application aims to overcome at least one defect of the prior art, and to provide an air conditioner and lighting device interconnection control method to intelligently start the lighting device when the user uses electronic devices at night, which is beneficial to the user's vision health.

[0019] Optionally, the step of judging whether the light source is a light source formed by using an electronic device according to the light source information comprises:

[0020] judging whether the light source is a fixed light source according to the light source information;

[0021] if yes, continuing to judge whether light emitted by the light source is stable; and

[0022] if the light emitted by the light source is not stable, determining that the light source is a light source formed by using an electronic device.

[0023] Optionally, after controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on, the interconnection control method further comprises:

[0024] adjusting a light emitting intensity of the lighting device according to the light source information.

[0025] Optionally, the step of adjusting the light emitting intensity of the lighting device according to the light source information comprises:

[0026] obtaining light intensity information contained in the light source information;

[0027] adjusting a power of the lighting device according to the light intensity information; wherein

[0028] The power of the lighting device is positively correlated with the light intensity information.

[0029] Optionally, after controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on, the interconnection control method further comprises:

[0030] The light emitting intensity of the lighting device is first adjusted to the lowest, and then gradually increased.

[0031] Optionally, after controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on, the interconnection control method further comprises:

[0032] determining whether the indoor environment space where the lighting device and the air conditioner are located is a target room; and

[0033] If yes, sending prompt information indicating that a user in the target room is using an electronic device to a terminal device in communication with the lighting device and / or the air conditioner.

[0034] Optionally, after controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on, the interconnection control method further comprises:

[0035] acquiring the continuous turning-on duration of the lighting device; and

[0036] when the continuous turning-on duration of the lighting device reaches a preset duration, controlling the air conditioner to send prompt information.

[0037] According to the second aspect of the present application, the present application further provides an interconnection control device of an air conditioner and a lighting device, the lighting device and the air conditioner are in the same indoor environment space; and

[0038] The interconnection control device comprises a processor and a memory, the memory stores a machine executable program, and the machine executable program is executed by the processor to implement the interconnection control method of any of the above-mentioned schemes.

[0039] According to the third aspect of the present application, the present application further provides an air conditioner comprising the interconnection control device according to any of the above-mentioned schemes.

[0040] The application provides an interconnection control method of an air conditioner and a lighting device, the air conditioner and the lighting device being in a same indoor environment space, so as to make the air conditioner and the lighting device work cooperatively, thereby jointly monitoring a user in the indoor environment space. Specifically, the interconnection control method detects whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space in a preset time period and when the lighting device is in an off state, and acquires light source information of the light source when the light source exists, and judges whether the light source is a light source generated when the user uses an electronic device according to the light source information, thereby achieving the purpose of supervising whether the user uses the electronic device at any time in a dark environment. When it is judged that the light source is the light source generated when the user uses the electronic device, the lighting device is controlled to be automatically turned on, so as to improve the brightness of the indoor environment space and avoid that the use of the electronic device in a dim light environment causes harm to the eyes of the user.

The inventor further realizes that the light source formed when the user uses the electronic device is obviously different from the light source in other cases. For example, the positions of other light sources from an outdoor environment are not fixed, which are non-fixed light sources. However, the position of the light source formed when the user uses the electronic device is basically fixed, which is a fixed light source. Moreover, the brightness of light emitted by a small night light or the like opened in the indoor environment space is stable and will not be bright and dim suddenly. However, the brightness of light emitted by the light source formed when the user uses the electronic device will change with different interfaces of the electronic device, and thus the brightness of light is unstable. Therefore, the application judges whether the light source is the light source generated when the user uses the electronic device according to whether the acquired light source information is a fixed light source and whether the light source emits stable light, and comprehensively considers multiple factors, so that the judgment result is more accurate.

[0042] Further, after the lighting device is controlled to be automatically turned on, the interconnection control method further sends a prompt information when the indoor environment space where the lighting device and the air conditioner are located is a target room, so as to make a guardian know the use of the electronic device by a minor in the target room in time, thereby reminding the minor when necessary, and achieving the purpose of effectively supervising the minor.

[0043] Further, after the lighting device is controlled to be automatically turned on, the interconnection control method further sends a prompt information when the lighting device is turned on for a preset time length, so as to timely remind the user in the target room of the time length of use of the electronic device, and pay attention to rest and the like, thereby effectively achieving the purpose of urging the user to use the electronic device reasonably, which is of great significance for the minors to develop good habits for their healthy growth and for the self-discipline supervision of the adults.

[0044] The above and other objects, advantages and features of the present application will become more apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0055] The present application first provides an interconnection control method of an air conditioner and a lighting device, which can realize intelligent interconnection of the air conditioner and the lighting device, provide a smart home appliance interconnection scene, and effectively improve the intelligent degree.

[0056] Specifically, the lighting device is in the same indoor environment space as the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner and the lighting device work cooperatively to jointly monitor the user in the indoor environment space.

[0057] It should be noted that the methods of the following embodiments of the present application are described from the side of the interconnection control device of the air conditioner and the lighting device, i.e., the relevant steps are performed by the control device. Moreover, the premise for implementing the following embodiments of the present application is that the air conditioner and the lighting device are interconnected. Specifically, the interconnection control device of the air conditioner and the lighting device can be arranged between the air conditioner and the lighting device. Through the control device, signals sent by the air conditioner and the lighting device can be received, and signals can be sent to the air conditioner and the lighting device. The control device can be additionally and independently arranged, or arranged inside the air conditioner.

[0058] The lighting device in the embodiment has the intelligent feature that it can send signals to the control device and receive signals sent by the control device. Specifically, this can be achieved by arranging a controller on the lighting device. Similarly, the air conditioner can also be provided with its own controller, so that it can send signals to the control device and receive signals sent by the control device.

[0059] Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the lighting device according to one embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 1 , the interconnection control method of the present application comprises:

[0060] Step S40, detecting whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space within a preset time period and when the lighting device is in the off state; if yes, proceeding to step S50;

[0061] Step S50, acquiring light source information of the light source;

[0062] Step S60, judging whether the light source is a light source formed by using an electronic device according to the light source information; if yes, proceeding to step S70; and

[0063] Step S70, controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on.

[0064] The interconnection control method of the present application detects whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space within a preset time period and when the lighting device is in the off state, and acquires light source information of the light source when the light source exists. Whether the light source is a light source emitted by the user when using the electronic device is determined according to the light source information, thereby achieving the purpose of supervising whether the user uses the electronic device at all times in a dark environment. When it is determined that the light source is a light source generated by the user using the electronic device, the lighting device is automatically turned on to improve the brightness of the indoor environment space and avoid damage to the user's eyes caused by using the electronic device in a relatively dark environment. The interconnection control method of the present application realizes the intelligent interconnection of the air conditioner and the lighting device, provides a scene of intelligent interconnection of smart home appliances, and effectively improves the intelligent degree.

[0065] Specifically, the above-mentioned preset time period can be pre-set according to the sunset time and the sunrise time of the region where the air conditioner is located. Preferably, the above-mentioned preset time period can be from the sunset time point of the region where the air conditioner is located to the sunrise time point of the next day. Within this time period, the light brightness of the natural environment is relatively dark, and if the lighting device is in the off state, the indoor environment space as a whole belongs to a relatively dark environment, and if the user uses the electronic device at this time, it is necessary to intervene and adjust the indoor environment space.

[0066] In other embodiments, the above-mentioned preset time period can also be pre-set according to the user's work and rest habits. For example, the user is used to going to sleep between 9 pm and 1 am, and the above-mentioned preset time period can be selected as 9 pm to 1 am. Within this time period, the light brightness of the natural environment is relatively dark, and if the lighting device is in the off state, the indoor environment space as a whole belongs to a relatively dark environment, and if the user uses the electronic device at this time, it is necessary to intervene and adjust the indoor environment space.

[0067] In some embodiments, before detecting whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space, the interconnection control method of the present application further comprises:

[0068] receiving a light-off signal for indicating that the lighting device is switched from the on state to the off state;

[0069] acquiring the current time; and

[0070] determining whether the current time is within the preset time period; if yes, detecting whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space.

[0071] Specifically, Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the lighting device according to the second embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 2 , the interconnection control method of the present application comprises:

[0072] Step S10, receiving a light-off signal for indicating that the lighting device is switched from the on state to the off state;

[0073] Step S20, acquiring the current time;

[0074] Step S30, determining whether the current time is within the preset time period; if yes, proceeding to step S40';

[0075] Step S40', detecting whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space; if yes, proceeding to step S50; if no, returning to continue detecting;

[0076] Step S50, acquiring the light source information of the light source;

[0077] Step S60, determining whether the light source is formed by using the electronic device according to the light source information; if yes, proceeding to step S70; and

[0078] Step S70, controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on.

[0079] Further, if the current time is outside the preset time period, it can return to step S20 to continue acquiring the current time.

[0080] Further, when it is determined that the light source is not formed by using the electronic device, no processing can be performed.

[0081] In some alternative embodiments, before detecting whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space, the current time can also be acquired first. Only when the current time is within the preset time period, the on-off state of the lighting device is acquired. When the lighting device is in the off state, it is detected whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space.

[0082] In some embodiments, the step S60 of determining whether the light source is formed by using the electronic device according to the light source information can specifically include:

[0083] determining whether the light source is a fixed light source according to the light source information;

[0084] if yes, continuing to determine whether the light emitted by the light source is stable; and

[0085] if the light emitted by the light source is not stable, determining that the light source is formed by using the electronic device.

[0086] The inventors have realized that, in the preset time period and when the lighting device is in the off state, there can be various possibilities if a light source is detected in the indoor environment space. For example, a night light turned on by the user according to the needs, a street lamp detected when the curtain is not completely closed, other light sources from the outdoor environment detected when the curtain is not completely closed (such as a patrol lamp used by a community patrol officer, etc.), a light source formed when the user uses an electronic device, and the like. The inventors have further realized that the light source formed when the user uses an electronic device is obviously different from the light source in other cases. For example, the positions of the other light sources from the outdoor environment are mostly not fixed, which are non-fixed light sources; however, the position of the light source formed when the user uses an electronic device is basically fixed, which is a fixed light source. Moreover, the brightness of the light emitted by the small night light and the like turned on in the indoor environment space is stable and will not be bright and dark suddenly; however, the brightness of the light emitted by the light source formed when the user uses an electronic device will change with different interfaces of the electronic device, and thus the brightness of the light is unstable. Therefore, the present application determines whether the light source is the light source formed when the user uses an electronic device according to whether the light source is a fixed light source and whether the light emitted by the light source is stable, comprehensively considers various factors, and the determination result is more accurate.

[0087] Specifically, Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the lighting device according to the third embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 3 , the interconnection control method of the present application comprises:

[0088] Step S40, detecting whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space in a preset time period and when the lighting device is in the off state; if yes, proceeding to step S50;

[0089] Step S50, acquiring light source information of the light source;

[0090] Step S61, determining whether the light source is a fixed light source according to the light source information; if yes, proceeding to step S62; if no, returning to step S40 to continue the detection;

[0091] Step S62, determining whether the light emitted by the light source is stable; if yes, returning to step S40 to continue the detection; if no, proceeding to step S70; and

[0092] Step S70, controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on.

[0093] In some embodiments, after controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on, the interconnection control method of the present application further comprises:

[0094] adjusting the luminous intensity of the lighting device according to the light source information.

[0095] Further, the step of adjusting the light emitting intensity of the lighting device according to the light source information specifically can include:

[0096] obtaining the light intensity information contained in the light source information;

[0097] adjusting the power of the lighting device according to the light intensity information; wherein

[0098] the power of the lighting device is positively correlated with the light intensity information.

[0099] That is, the stronger the light intensity contained in the obtained light source information, the greater the power of the lighting device; the weaker the light intensity contained in the obtained light source information, the smaller the power of the lighting device. Thus, the light emitting brightness of the lighting device can be matched with the screen brightness of the electronic device used by the user, avoiding that the lighting device lighting brings very strong discomfort to the eyes of the user, and making the eyes of the user more comfortable after the lighting device lighting.

[0100] Specifically, Figure 4 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the lighting device according to the fourth embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 4 , the interconnection control method of the present application includes:

[0101] Step S40, detecting whether there is a light source in the indoor environment space within a preset time period and when the lighting device is in an off state; if yes, turning to step S50;

[0102] Step S50, obtaining the light source information of the light source;

[0103] Step S60, judging whether the light source is a light source formed by using an electronic device according to the light source information; if yes, turning to step S70;

[0104] Step S70, controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on; and

[0105] Step S81, adjusting the light emitting intensity of the lighting device according to the light source information.

[0106] In other embodiments, after controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on, the interconnection control method of the present application further includes:

[0107] firstly adjusting the light emitting intensity of the lighting device to the lowest, and then gradually increasing the light emitting intensity of the lighting device.

[0108] That is, in other embodiments, the lighting device starts with the lowest luminous intensity regardless of the brightness of the obtained light source information, thereby avoiding the discomfort of the user's eyes caused by the instantaneous increase in the brightness of the indoor environment space when the lighting device starts, and then gradually increasing the luminous intensity of the lighting device, which is beneficial to the user's eye health and can make the user's eyes gradually adapt to the change in light intensity to improve the user's comfort experience.

[0109] Specifically, Figure 5 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the lighting device according to the fifth embodiment of the present application.

[0117] if yes, sending prompt information indicating that the user in the target room is using an electronic device to a terminal device in communication with the lighting device and / or the air conditioner.

[0118] Specifically, the target room can be a room that needs to be monitored by an adult, such as a child room, an old person room, etc.

[0119] After controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on, the interconnection control method of the present application further sends prompt information when the indoor environment space where the lighting device and the air conditioner are located is a target room, so that the guardian can timely know the situation of the minor using an electronic device in the target room, thereby reminding when necessary, and achieving the purpose of effectively supervising the minor.

[0120] Specifically, Figure 6is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the lighting device according to the sixth embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 6 The interconnection control method of the present application comprises:

[0128] acquiring a continuous turning-on duration of the lighting device; and

[0129] controlling the air conditioner to send prompt information when the continuous turning-on duration of the lighting device reaches a preset duration.

[0130] After controlling the lighting device to automatically turn on, the interconnection control method of the present application further controls the air conditioner to send prompt information when the continuous turning-on duration of the lighting device reaches a preset duration, so as to timely remind the user in the target room of the duration of using the electronic device, pay attention to rest, etc., effectively achieving the purpose of urging the user to reasonably use the electronic device, which is of great significance for minors to develop good habits for their healthy growth and for adults to self-discipline and supervise.

[0131] Specifically, Figure 7 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the lighting device according to the seventh embodiment of the present application.

[0139] Specifically, the prompt information sent by the air conditioner is preferably voice prompt information, and can also be sound and light or other suitable prompt information.

[0140] It can be understood that in some embodiments, after the lighting device is automatically turned on, the interconnection control method of the present application can simultaneously include the above steps S83 to S87, and can further include the above steps S81 or S82. The execution order of steps S81 to S87 or the execution order of steps S82 to S87 is not limited in any way.

[0141] The present application also provides an interconnection control device of an air conditioner and a lighting device, the lighting device and the air conditioner being in the same indoor environment space.

[0142] Figure 8 is a schematic structural block diagram of the interconnection control device according to an embodiment of the present application. The interconnection control device 20 of the present application includes a processor 21 and a memory 22, the memory 22 storing a machine executable program 23, and the machine executable program 23 being executed by the processor 21 to implement the interconnection control method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0143] Specifically, the processor 21 can be a central processing unit (CPU) or a digital processing unit, etc. The processor 21 transmits and receives data through a communication interface. The memory 22 is used to store the program executed by the processor 21. The memory 22 is any medium capable of carrying or storing desired program codes in the form of instructions or data structures and capable of being accessed by a computer, and can also be a combination of multiple memories. The above machine executable program 23 can be downloaded from a computer readable storage medium to a corresponding computing / processing device or downloaded to a computer or an external storage device via a network (such as the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network and / or a wireless network).

[0144] As mentioned above, the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the lighting device of any of the above embodiments is described from the side of the interconnection control device 20, i.e. the relevant steps are performed by the interconnection control device 20. In a specific embodiment, the interconnection control device 20 is in data connection with the air conditioner and the lighting device, which can be a server, a cloud, or other network-side equipment. The interconnection control device 20 obtains the data of the setting space through the network and realizes the relevant adjustment by sending instructions to the air conditioner and the lighting device remotely.

[0147] The application also provides an air conditioner, Figure 9 is a schematic structural block diagram of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the application. The air conditioner 1 has the interconnection control device 20 described in the above embodiments. That is, the interconnection control device 20 can not be arranged outside the air conditioner 1 but can be arranged on the air conditioner 1. The interconnection control device 20 and the controller of the air conditioner 1 can be the same component, i.e. the interconnection control device 20 is used to control the operation of the air conditioner 1 itself and also to receive signals from the lighting device and send signals to the lighting device.

[0148] Alternatively, the interconnection control device 20 and the controller of the air conditioner can be different components, i.e. the controller is used to control the operation of the air conditioner itself and the interconnection control device 20 is used to receive signals from the lighting device and send signals to the lighting device. However, the interconnection control device 20 and the controller also realize communication to receive signals from the controller of the air conditioner and send signals to the controller.
