[0045] The present application first provides an interconnection control method of an air conditioner and a smart curtain, which can realize the intelligent interconnection of the air conditioner and the smart curtain, provides a smart home appliance interconnection scene, and effectively improves the intelligent degree.

[0046] Specifically, the smart curtain and the air conditioner are in the same indoor environment space, so as to facilitate the cooperative work of the air conditioner and the smart curtain, thereby realizing more intelligent regulation and control.

[0047] 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 smart curtain, that is, the relevant steps are executed by the control device. And the premise of realizing the following embodiment schemes of the present application is that the air conditioner and the smart curtain are interconnected. Specifically, the interconnection control device of the air conditioner and the smart curtain can be arranged between the air conditioner and the smart curtain. The control device can receive the signals sent by the air conditioner and the smart curtain, and can send signals to the air conditioner and the smart curtain. The control device can be additionally and independently arranged, or arranged in the air conditioner.

[0048] The smart curtain in the embodiment has the intelligent feature, which is due to the fact that it can send signals to the control device and receive signals issued by the control device as mentioned above. Specifically, it can be realized by arranging a controller on the smart curtain. Similarly, the air conditioner can also be provided with its own controller, so as to send signals to the control device and receive signals issued by the control device.

[0049] In particular, the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the smart curtain of the present application comprises:

[0050] When there is a human body in the indoor environment space, and the illumination intensity in the indoor environment space exceeds the preset light intensity, the sun-shading mode of the smart curtain is started to avoid direct sunlight irradiation on the human body.

[0051] Specifically, Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the smart curtain according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 1 , the interconnection control method of the present application can specifically comprise:

[0052] Step S110, judging whether there is a human body in the indoor environment space; if yes, turning to step S210;

[0053] Step S210, acquiring the light intensity in the indoor environment space;

[0054] Step S310, judging whether the light intensity in the indoor environment space exceeds the preset light intensity; if yes, turning to step S40; and

[0055] Step S40, starting the sun-avoiding mode of the smart window curtain to avoid direct sunlight irradiation on the human body.

[0056] Further, when there is no human body in the indoor environment space, the judgment can be continued. When the light intensity in the indoor environment space is lower than or equal to the preset light intensity, the judgment can be continued by returning to step S110 to re-judge whether there is a human body in the indoor environment space.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the smart window curtain according to the second embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 2 , the interconnection control method of the present application can specifically include:

[0058] Step S120, acquiring the light intensity in the indoor environment space;

[0059] Step S220, judging whether the light intensity in the indoor environment space exceeds the preset light intensity; if yes, turning to step S320;

[0060] Step S320, judging whether there is a human body in the indoor environment space; if yes, turning to step S40; and

[0061] Step S40, starting the sun-avoiding mode of the smart window curtain to avoid direct sunlight irradiation on the human body.

[0062] Further, when the light intensity in the indoor environment space is lower than or equal to the preset light intensity, the judgment can be continued. When there is no human body in the indoor environment space, the judgment can be continued by returning to step S320 to re-judge whether there is a human body in the indoor environment space. Therefore, the light intensity will not change obviously in a short time, and thus it is not necessary to re-acquire the light intensity in the indoor environment space.

[0063] That is to say, in the interconnection control method of the present application, the light intensity in the indoor environment space can be judged first, and then whether there is a human body can be judged; or whether there is a human body can be judged first, and then the light intensity in the indoor environment space can be judged.

[0064] The interconnection control method of the present application can effectively avoid the direct sunlight from shining on the human body, improve the comfort experience of the user, and has a high degree of intelligence, without the need for the user to manually operate or adjust the smart curtain.

[0065] The present application uses the interconnection of the air conditioner and the smart curtain to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, and provides a smart home appliance interconnection scene, which effectively improves the degree of intelligence.

[0066] In some embodiments, in the sun-avoiding mode, the interconnection control method of the present application includes the following steps which are executed in a cycle:

[0067] obtaining the position of the human body in the indoor environment space and the sunlight direct range in the indoor environment space; and

[0068] If the obtained position of the human body is in the sunlight direct range, the state and / or position of the smart curtain are adjusted to block the sunlight directly shining on the human body by the smart curtain.

[0069] The inventor realizes that the position of the human body in the indoor environment space can be randomly changed, and the illumination angle of the sunlight can also change slowly over time. Therefore, the relative positional relationship between the position of the human body and the sunlight direct range can also change. Therefore, in the sun-avoiding mode of the smart curtain, the present application judges whether the user is in the sunlight direct range by obtaining the position of the human body and the sunlight direct range in the indoor environment space, and adjusts the position and / or state of the smart curtain when the user is in the sunlight direct range to block the sunlight directly shining on the human body by the smart curtain, so as to achieve the purpose of sun-avoiding. And the above process is executed in a cycle, so as to obtain the change of the position of the human body and the change of the sunlight direct range in time, and re-compare and re-adjust the smart curtain, thereby achieving the purpose of sun-avoiding for the user regardless of the change of the position of the user, improving the continuous sun-avoiding performance of the smart curtain in the sun-avoiding mode, and further improving the comfort experience and the degree of intelligence of the user.

[0070] Specifically, Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of the smart curtain in the sun-avoiding mode according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 3 In the sun-avoiding mode, the interconnection control method of the present application can specifically include:

[0071] Step S41, obtaining the position of the human body in the indoor environment space and the sunlight direct range in the indoor environment space;

[0072] Step S42, judging whether the human body position is in the sunlight direct irradiation range; if yes, turning to step S43; if no, returning to step S41; and

[0073] Step S43, adjusting the state and / or position of the smart curtain to block the sunlight directly irradiating to the human body through the smart curtain.

[0074] Further, after step S43 is executed, returning to step S41 to acquire the position of the human body in the indoor environment space and the sunlight direct irradiation range in the indoor environment space again, so as to be executed in a cycle, which can effectively and durably sun-avoid the user and avoid manual adjustment of the user, and the intelligent experience is better.

[0075] It should be noted that the sunlight direct irradiation range in the indoor environment space means a space region in the indoor environment space that can receive direct sunlight irradiation, which is a three-dimensional space, rather than a planar space.

[0076] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is provided with a human body detection device. In these embodiments, the step of acquiring the position of the human body in the indoor environment space can specifically include:

[0077] Acquiring the position of the human body in the indoor environment space through the human body detection device.

[0078] Further, the step of judging whether there is a human body in the indoor environment space can include:

[0079] Detecting whether there is a human body in the indoor environment space through the human body detection device.

[0080] That is to say, for the air conditioner with the human body detection device, the human body detection device on the air conditioner itself can be used to judge whether there is a human body in the indoor environment space, acquire the position of the human body in the indoor environment space, and the like, which fully utilizes the existing structure of the air conditioner, does not need to set other human body detection devices, simplifies the structure, and reduces the cost.

[0081] Specifically, the human body detection device can be, for example, a radar detection device, an infrared detection device, or other devices that can detect a human body.

[0082] In some embodiments, the step of acquiring the sunlight direct irradiation range in the indoor environment space can specifically include:

[0083] Acquiring the current sunlight angle and the window size corresponding to the smart curtain; and

[0084] Calculating the sunlight direct irradiation range according to the acquired current sunlight angle and the window size corresponding to the smart curtain.

[0085] The inventor realizes that the sunlight direct range formed by the sunlight irradiation to the indoor environment space is closely related to the current sunlight angle and the size of the window corresponding to the smart curtain. Therefore, the sunlight direct range calculated according to the current sunlight angle and the size of the window corresponding to the smart curtain is more accurate.

[0086] It can be understood that the size of the window corresponding to the smart curtain can be pre-stored in the air conditioner or the smart curtain and can be directly obtained when needed. The size of the window can specifically include the height of the window in the vertical direction and the width of the window in the horizontal direction.

[0087] Further, the step of obtaining the current sunlight angle can specifically include:

[0088] obtaining geographical latitude information of a region where the air conditioner is located and a current time; and

[0089] determining the current sunlight angle according to the obtained geographical latitude information and the current time.

[0090] The inventor realizes that the current sunlight angle is closely related to the geographical latitude information of the region where the air conditioner is located and the current time. Therefore, the current sunlight angle determined according to the geographical latitude information of the region where the air conditioner is located and the current time is more accurate.

[0091] It can be understood that the geographical latitude information of the region where the air conditioner is located can be pre-stored in the air conditioner and can be directly obtained when needed. The current time can be obtained from a clock unit of the air conditioner or the smart curtain, or the current time can be obtained from a clock device in communication connection with the air conditioner or the smart curtain.

[0092] Specifically, Figure 4 is a schematic flow chart of the smart curtain in the sun-avoiding mode according to another embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 4 In the sun-avoiding mode, the interconnection control method of the present application can specifically include:

[0093] In step S411, the position of the human body in the indoor environment space, the geographical latitude information of the region where the air conditioner is located, the current time, and the size of the window corresponding to the smart curtain are obtained.

[0094] In step S412, the current sunlight angle is determined according to the obtained geographical latitude information and the current time.

[0095] In step S413, the sunlight direct range is calculated according to the current sunlight angle and the size of the window corresponding to the smart curtain.

[0096] In step S42, it is determined whether the position of the human body is in the sunlight direct range. If yes, the process proceeds to step S43; if no, the process returns to step S411; and

[0097] Step S43, adjusting the state and / or position of the smart curtain to block the sunlight directly irradiating to the human body through the smart curtain.

[0098] In some embodiments, the step of adjusting the state and / or position of the smart curtain to block the sunlight directly irradiating to the human body through the smart curtain can specifically include:

[0099] determining a target position of the smart curtain according to the relative position relationship between the human body position and the window corresponding to the smart curtain; the target position is set to at least block the sunlight directly irradiating to the human body when the smart curtain is at the target position; and

[0100] adjusting the smart curtain to the target position.

[0101] The smart curtain can only block the sunlight directly irradiating to the human body to truly achieve the purpose of sun-avoidance for the user.

[0102] Specifically, Figure 5 is a schematic flow chart of the smart curtain in the sun-avoidance mode according to still another embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 5 In the sun-avoidance mode, the interconnection control method of the present application can specifically include:

[0103] Step S41, acquiring the position of the human body in the indoor environment space and the sunlight direct irradiation range in the indoor environment space;

[0104] Step S42, judging whether the human body position is in the sunlight direct irradiation range; if yes, proceeding to step S43; if no, returning to step S41;

[0105] Step S431, acquiring the position of the window corresponding to the smart curtain;

[0106] Step S432, determining the relative position relationship between the human body and the window according to the acquired human body position and the acquired window position;

[0107] Step S433, determining a target position of the smart curtain according to the relative position relationship between the human body and the window; and

[0108] Step S434, adjusting the smart curtain to the target position.

[0109] In some embodiments, after starting the sun-avoidance mode of the smart curtain, the interconnection control method of the present application further includes:

[0110] When there is no human body in the indoor environment space or the light intensity in the indoor environment space is lower than or equal to the preset light intensity, exiting the sun-avoidance mode of the smart curtain.

[0111] When there is no human body in the indoor environment space, it is unnecessary to open the sun-avoiding mode even if the light intensity in the indoor environment space is strong. When the light intensity in the indoor environment space is lower than or equal to the preset light intensity, the light intensity in the indoor environment space is not high, and it is unnecessary to open the sun-avoiding mode even if there is a human body in the indoor environment space. Therefore, the sun-avoiding mode of the smart curtain is exited when there is no human body in the indoor environment space or the light intensity in the indoor environment space is lower than or equal to the preset light intensity, which can avoid forming a dark environment in the indoor environment space and highly meets the use expectation and intention of the user.

[0112] Further, after the sun-avoiding mode of the smart curtain is exited, the smart curtain can be restored to the state before the sun-avoiding mode is opened, which realizes intelligent switching of the state of the smart curtain under different environmental conditions, has a high degree of intelligence, and has better user experience.

[0113] In some special environments, the user can have some special use requirements, for example, sunbathing. In this case, if the sun-avoiding mode is always executed, the use intention of the user will be violated and the use requirement of the user cannot be met.

[0114] Therefore, in some embodiments, after the sun-avoiding mode of the smart curtain is opened, the interconnection control method further includes:

[0115] determining whether a manual adjustment instruction for indicating manual adjustment of the smart curtain by the user is received;

[0116] If yes, the sun-avoiding mode of the smart curtain is exited, and the state and / or position of the smart curtain are adjusted according to the manual adjustment instruction.

[0117] That is, in the sun-avoiding mode, if the manual adjustment instruction of the user is received, the sun-avoiding mode of the smart curtain is exited, and the state and / or position of the smart curtain are adjusted according to the manual adjustment instruction, so that the position and / or state of the smart curtain are more in line with the personal use intention of the user.

[0118] Figure 6 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the smart curtain according to the third embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 6 , the interconnection control method can specifically include:

[0119] Step S110, determining whether there is a human body in the indoor environment space; if yes, proceeding to step S210;

[0120] Step S210, acquiring the light intensity in the indoor environment space;

[0121] Step S310, determining whether the light intensity in the indoor environment space exceeds the preset light intensity; if yes, proceeding to step S40;

[0122] Step S40, the sun-shading mode of the smart curtain is started to avoid direct sunlight irradiation on the human body;

[0123] Step S50, it is judged whether the manual adjustment instruction for indicating the user manually adjusting the smart curtain is received; if yes, it is transferred to step S60; if no, it is returned to continue judging;

[0124] Step S60, the sun-shading mode of the smart curtain is exited, and the state and / or position of the smart curtain is adjusted according to the manual adjustment instruction.

[0125] The application also provides an interconnected control device of an air conditioner and a smart curtain, and the smart curtain and the air conditioner are in the same indoor environment space.
