[0063] S22. Determine the estimated driving time of the vehicle to the resting place based on the current positioning information and the driving plan information.

[0064] S23. Determine a target assistance strategy based on the estimated driving time.

[0065] By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the fatigue status information indicates that the driver needs to rest, the estimated driving time of the vehicle from the resting place is determined according to the current positioning information and the driving planning information, and then the air conditioner is controlled to execute the target assistance strategy according to the estimated driving time, so that the air conditioner creates a comfortable driving environment for the driver, relieves the driver's fatigue, reduces the possibility of traffic accidents due to fatigue driving, and ensures the driving safety of people in the vehicle while improving the driver's driving experience.

[0066] Optionally, when it is determined that the fatigue state information indicates that the driver needs to rest, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: obtaining the driver's comfort state information through a high-definition camera; when the comfort state information indicates that the driver has body pain, determining the target auxiliary strategy includes controlling the air conditioner to blow air in a target air outlet direction. The target air outlet direction may be that the air conditioner blows air in the direction of the driver's painful part.

[0067] Optionally, when the comfort status information indicates that the driver is in physical pain, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: acquiring the driver's sitting posture information through a high-definition camera, and determining the driver's pain location based on the sitting posture information.

[0068] In the disclosed embodiment, the directional air outlet of the air conditioner may include: controlling the air guide plates of the air conditioner to gather inwards and outlet air in a target air outlet direction in a high wind speed heating state.

[0069] Optionally, the target assistance strategy also includes controlling the air conditioner to release aromatherapy to relieve the driver's fatigue. Specifically, when the comfort state information indicates that the driver has body pain, the target aromatherapy type is determined according to the driver's pain site; and the air conditioner is controlled to release aromatherapy of the target aromatherapy type.

[0070] Optionally, the directional air outlet of the air conditioner may further include: releasing aroma of a target aroma type in a target air outlet direction and controlling the air guide plates to gather inwards so that the air conditioner can directional air outlet and release aroma to the driver's painful area in a high wind speed heating state.

[0071] Optionally, the aromatherapy types may include: sandalwood aromatherapy, perilla aromatherapy, wormwood aromatherapy, musk aromatherapy, angelica aromatherapy, clove aromatherapy, and calamus aromatherapy.

[0072] In actual applications, sandalwood aromatherapy is the target aromatherapy type because it can warm the middle and stimulate appetite and relieve pain. When it is determined that the driver is suffering from chest and abdominal pain and angina pectoris caused by cold stagnation and qi stagnation, it is determined as the target aromatherapy type. Perilla aromatherapy can clear the head and is also called "wake-up grass". Due to its elegant fragrance, it is determined as the target aromatherapy type when it is determined that the air quality in the car is poor.

[0073] Since mugwort-type aromatherapy is warm and penetrating, it can not only repel mosquitoes and flies and avoid foul air, but also warm and unclog the meridians and cure diseases; musk-type aromatherapy has the effects of invigorating the mind, promoting blood circulation and dredge meridians, and relieving swelling and pain; angelica-type aromatherapy has the effects of dispersing wind and dampness, opening the orifices and relieving pain; when it is determined that the driver has typhoid fever or a cold, he or she can be identified as the target aromatherapy type from the above-mentioned aromatherapy types.

[0074] Since clove-type aromatherapy has a strong and slightly sweet fragrance, it can warm the middle and reduce adverse effects, nourish the kidney and boost yang, and is suitable for symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, hiccups, vomiting and diarrhea; while calamus-type aromatherapy is slightly bitter and cool in nature, which can remove moisture from the body, benefit the lung yin, clear away deficiency fire, promote fluid production and quench thirst, and is used for symptoms of lung deficiency, chronic cough, dry throat and thirst, etc. If it is determined that the driver has a fever and cold, it can be determined as the target aromatherapy type from the above aromatherapy types.

[0077] Specifically, when the average vehicle speed information is less than the preset speed and the current weather information indicates that the weather outside the vehicle is not rainy or snowy, the target assistance strategy is determined to control the air conditioner to send an opening instruction to the vehicle windows. Correspondingly, when the average vehicle speed information is greater than or equal to the preset speed or the current weather information indicates that the weather outside the vehicle is rainy or snowy, the target assistance strategy is determined to control the air conditioner to operate in fresh air mode.

[0078] Optionally, determining the target assistance strategy according to the estimated driving time also includes: when the estimated driving time is less than a first reference threshold, determining a target voice prompt mode according to the estimated driving time; and determining the target assistance strategy to control the air conditioner to issue an early warning according to the target voice prompt mode. For example, the target assistance strategy may be to remind the driver of the estimated driving time of the nearest service area.

[0079] Optionally, when the estimated driving time is greater than or equal to the first reference threshold, the target assistance strategy is determined to repeatedly play the target voice prompt at a preset period. For example, the preset period may be 15 minutes.

[0080] In some embodiments, after determining the target assist strategy, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: performing a comfort check on the in-vehicle environment; and when it is determined that the comfort check passes, determining an air conditioner operating mode corresponding to the target assist strategy.

[0085] In some embodiments, the comfort level of the vehicle interior environment is checked in the following manner: obtaining the vehicle interior environment temperature and the vehicle exterior environment temperature; calculating the difference between the vehicle interior environment temperature and the vehicle exterior environment temperature to obtain the current temperature difference; and determining that the comfort level check has passed when the current temperature difference meets a preset temperature difference condition.

[0086] In some embodiments, after obtaining the ambient temperature in the vehicle, the method for controlling the air conditioner may further include: obtaining current weather information; and determining a target air outlet temperature of the air conditioner according to the current weather information and the ambient temperature in the vehicle.

[0087] In other embodiments, the method for controlling the air conditioner may further include: calculating the difference between the ambient temperature inside the vehicle and the ambient temperature outside the vehicle to obtain a current temperature difference; controlling the air conditioner to adjust the ambient temperature inside the vehicle so that the current temperature difference meets a preset temperature difference threshold, and the ambient temperature inside the vehicle meets a reference temperature condition. Here, the preset temperature difference threshold may be 10 to 12 degrees Celsius. The reference temperature condition may be that the ambient temperature inside the vehicle is within a range of 20 to 25 degrees Celsius.

[0088] In some embodiments, the method for controlling the air conditioner may further include: controlling the air conditioner to adjust the humidity in the vehicle so that the humidity in the vehicle meets a preset humidity threshold. Here, the preset humidity threshold may be a relative humidity in the range of 50% to 60%.

[0089] As an optional embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, step S40 may specifically include the following steps:

[0090] S41. Obtaining the vehicle interior environment temperature and the vehicle exterior environment temperature.

[0091] S42: Calculate the difference between the ambient temperature inside the vehicle and the ambient temperature outside the vehicle to obtain a current temperature difference.

[0092] S43: When the current temperature difference meets the preset temperature difference condition, determine that the comfort level check has passed.

[0093] By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the comfort level of the environmental parameters inside the vehicle is checked according to the difference between the ambient temperature inside the vehicle and the ambient temperature outside the vehicle, and the ambient parameters inside the vehicle are adaptively adjusted. This not only avoids driver fatigue but also takes the temperature environment inside the vehicle into consideration, thereby ensuring the comfort level of the people inside the vehicle and improving the driving experience of the driver.
