[0003] The demand for air conditioners in daily life or work is not limited to traditional functions. More importantly, they are expected to be able to make various adjustments according to the real-time needs of users. The air conditioner can be a household appliance such as an air conditioner for adjusting ambient air parameters. However, most of the current air conditioners cannot well interpret the concept of interconnection with other devices due to their own functional and structural limitations. For example, the current air conditioner cannot be effectively interconnected with smart mattresses, smart sofa cushions, etc., and cannot be intelligently adjusted according to the actual needs of users. From the perspective of intelligence, the user experience is poor. Summary of the invention

[0004] The inventors realize that there are more and more smart cushions such as smart mattresses and smart sofa cushions, and users spend a long time on the smart cushions, so it is necessary to interconnect these smart cushions with air conditioners to facilitate more intelligent adjustment of the air conditioner.

[0043] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention further provides an interconnection control device for an air conditioner and a smart mat, comprising:

[0044] A processor and a memory, wherein a machine executable program is stored in the memory, and when the machine executable program is executed by the processor, it is used to implement the interconnection control method described in any of the above schemes.

[0045] According to a third aspect of the present invention, the present invention further provides an air conditioner, comprising the interconnection control device according to any of the above schemes.

[0046] In the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the smart mat provided by the present invention, the air conditioner and the smart mat are in the same indoor environment space, so that the air conditioner and the smart mat work together, thereby jointly improving the intelligent experience of the user in the indoor environment space. The inventors recognize that different types of users have different pressure areas on the smart mat when they are on the smart mat, and the same user has different pressure areas on the smart mat in different postures. Therefore, the pressure area of ​​the smart mat can reflect the user information acting on it to a large extent. To this end, the interconnection control method of the present invention determines the human identity information and posture information on the smart mat according to the pressure area of ​​the smart mat when the air conditioner is in operation and there is a human body on the smart mat, and automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the human identity information and posture information, so that the operating parameters of the air conditioner are more matched with the identity and posture of the human body on the smart mat, and more in line with the use needs of the user on the smart mat. The present invention realizes the intelligent adjustment of the air conditioner by interconnection between the air conditioner and the smart mat, and provides a scene of interconnection of smart home appliances, which has a high degree of intelligence.

[0047] Furthermore, whether it is an adult or a child, the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body when it is in a lying or supine position is significantly greater than the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body when it is in a sitting position. In addition, due to the difference in body shape, the size of the pressure area generated on the smart mat body by children and adults when sitting on the smart mat body will be significantly different. To this end, the present invention can accurately distinguish between children and general adults in the same sitting position by presetting a first preset area value and a second preset area value, and comparing the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body with the above-mentioned first preset area value and second preset area value. If the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body is greater than the second preset area value, there may be two situations, one is that the human body is in a lying or supine position, and the other is that a fat adult is in a sitting position. In order to accurately distinguish this situation, the present invention further draws a contour map of the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body, and the identity information and posture information of the human body can be further accurately distinguished through the graphics and size of the pressure area, thereby laying the foundation for the precise adjustment of the air conditioner. It can be seen that when determining the human body identity information and posture information based on the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body, the present invention not only takes into account the size of the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body, but also takes into account the shape and size of the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body, thereby improving the accuracy of identifying the human body identity information and posture information.

[0055] The present invention firstly provides an interconnection control method between an air conditioner and a smart mat body, which can realize the intelligent interconnection between the air conditioner and the smart mat body, provide a scenario of interconnection of smart home appliances, and effectively improve the degree of intelligence.

[0056] Specifically, the smart cushion body may be a smart mattress, a smart sofa cushion, a smart seat cushion or other intelligent cushion bodies that can provide a sitting or lying space for the user.

[0057] Specifically, the smart mat body and the air conditioner are in the same indoor environment space, so that the air conditioner and the smart mat body can work together to jointly improve the intelligent experience of the user in the indoor environment space.

[0058] It should be noted that the methods of the following embodiments of the present invention are all described from the side of the interconnection control device between the air conditioner and the smart mat body, that is, the relevant steps are executed by the control device. In addition, the premise for implementing the following embodiments of the present invention is that the air conditioner and the smart mat body are interconnected. Specifically, an interconnection control device between the air conditioner and the smart mat body can be provided between the air conditioner and the smart mat body, through which the signals sent by the air conditioner and the smart mat body can be received, and signals can be sent to the air conditioner and the smart mat body. The control device can be provided separately or inside the air conditioner.

[0059] The smart mat body in this embodiment has the characteristic of being smart, precisely because it can send signals to the control device as mentioned above, and can also receive signals sent by the control device. Specifically, this can be achieved by setting a controller on the smart mat body. 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.

[0060] Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of an interconnection control method between an air conditioner and a smart mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , the interconnection control method of the present invention comprises:

[0061] Step S10, determining whether the air conditioner is in operation; if so, proceeding to step S20;

[0062] Step S20, detecting whether there is a human body on the smart mat; if so, proceeding to step S30;

[0063] Step S30, obtaining the pressure area of ​​the smart pad;

[0064] Step S40, determining the identity information and posture information of the human body on the smart mat body according to the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body; and

[0065] Step S50, adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the determined identity information and posture information.

[0066] The inventors have realized that different types of users exert different pressure areas on the smart mat when they are on it, and the same user exerts different pressure areas on the smart mat in different postures. Therefore, the pressure area of ​​the smart mat can largely reflect the user information acting on it.

[0067] To this end, the interconnection control method of the present invention determines the identity information and posture information of the human body on the smart mat body according to the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body when the air conditioner is in operation and there is a human body on the smart mat body, and automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the identity information and posture information of the human body, so that the operating parameters of the air conditioner are more matched with the identity and posture of the human body on the smart mat body, and more in line with the usage needs of the user on the smart mat body.

[0068] The present invention realizes intelligent adjustment of the air conditioner by utilizing the interconnection between the air conditioner and the intelligent pad body, and provides a scenario of interconnection of intelligent home appliances with a high degree of intelligence.

[0069] In some embodiments, the step S40 of determining the identity information and posture information of the human body on the smart mat body according to the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body may specifically include:

[0070] When the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body is less than or equal to the first preset area value, the identity information of the human body is determined as a child, and the posture information of the human body is determined as a sitting posture; and

[0071] When the pressure area of ​​the smart cushion body is greater than the first preset area value and less than the second preset area value, the identity information of the human body is determined as a general adult, and the posture information of the human body is determined as a sitting posture.

[0072] Whether it is an adult or a child, the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body when the child is in a lying or supine position is significantly greater than the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body when the child is in a sitting position. In addition, due to the difference in body shape, the size of the pressure area generated on the smart mat body by children and adults when they sit on the smart mat body will be significantly different. To this end, the present invention can accurately distinguish between children and general adults in the same sitting position by presetting a first preset area value and a second preset area value, and comparing the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body with the first preset area value and the second preset area value.

[0073] In some embodiments, the step S40 of determining the identity information and posture information of the human body on the smart mat body according to the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body may specifically include:

[0074] When the pressure area of ​​the smart mat is greater than or equal to the second preset area value, drawing the outer contour line of the pressure area of ​​the smart mat to form a contour map of the pressure area of ​​the smart mat; and

[0075] The identity information and posture information of the human body on the smart mat body are determined according to the graphics and size of the contour map of the pressure area.

[0076] If the compressed area of ​​the smart mat is greater than the second preset area value, there may be two situations, one is that the human body is in a lying or recumbent posture, and the other is that an obese adult is in a sitting posture. In the former case, the size difference of the compressed area of ​​the smart mat in different directions is large, and the compressed area is roughly elongated; in the latter case, the size difference of the compressed area of ​​the smart mat in different directions is small, and the compressed area is roughly square or circular. In order to accurately distinguish this situation, the present invention further draws a contour map of the compressed area of ​​the smart mat, and the identity information and posture information of the human body can be further accurately distinguished through the graphics and size of the compressed area, thereby laying the foundation for the precise adjustment of the air conditioner.

[0077] It can be seen that when determining the human body identity information and posture information based on the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body, the present invention not only takes into account the size of the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body, but also takes into account the shape and size of the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body, thereby improving the accuracy of identifying the human body identity information and posture information.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of determining the identity information and posture information of a human body on a smart mat body according to the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The step of determining the identity information and posture information of the human body on the smart mat body according to the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body may specifically include:

[0079] Step S41, determining whether the pressure area of ​​the smart mat is less than or equal to a first preset area value; if so, proceeding to step S42; if not, proceeding to step S43;

[0080] Step S41, determining the identity information of the human body as a child, and determining the posture information of the human body as a sitting posture;

[0081] Step S43, determining whether the pressure area of ​​the smart cushion body is less than a second preset area value; if so, proceeding to step S44; if not, proceeding to step S45;

[0082] Step S44, determining the identity information of the human body as a general adult, and determining the posture information of the human body as a sitting posture;

[0083] Step S45, drawing the outer contour line of the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body to form a contour map of the pressure area of ​​the smart mat body; and

[0084] Step S46, determining the identity information and posture information of the human body on the smart mat body according to the shape and size of the contour map of the pressure area.

[0085] It can be understood that the above-mentioned average adults are relative to obese adults, that is, average adults are adults with normal weight and body shape.

[0086] Figure 3 This is a schematic flow chart of determining the identity information and posture information of a human body on a smart mat according to the graphics and size of a contour map of a pressured area according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 In some embodiments, step S46 of determining the identity information and posture information of the human body on the smart mat body according to the shape and size of the pressure area contour map may specifically include:

[0087] Step S461, measuring the maximum dimensions of the contour of the compressed area in two mutually perpendicular directions, and using them as the first direction dimension and the second direction dimension respectively;

[0088] Step S462, determining whether the difference between the first direction size and the second direction size reaches a preset degree; if so, proceeding to step S463; if not, proceeding to step S464;

[0089] Step S463, determining the posture information of the human body as a lying position or a lying position; and

[0090] In step S464, the identity information of the human body is determined as a fat adult, and the posture information of the human body is determined as a sitting posture.

[0091] Specifically, the maximum dimensions of the compressed area contour map in two mutually perpendicular directions can be the length and width of the compressed area, respectively, and can best represent the contour of the compressed area. If the difference between the dimension in the first direction and the dimension in the second direction is large (reaching a preset degree), it means that the compressed area contour map is roughly a long structure, and then it means that the human body posture is lying or lying. When the human body posture is lying or lying, it means that the user is resting, and the operating parameters of the air conditioner can be unified, and there is no need to judge the identity information of the human body. If the difference between the dimension in the first direction and the dimension in the second direction is small (less than a preset degree), it means that the compressed area contour map is roughly a square or circular structure, and then it means that the human body posture is sitting, and the human body is fat.

[0092] Furthermore, the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension can be expressed in a variety of ways. For example, the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension can be expressed, or the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension can be expressed, or the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension can be expressed in a ratio to the first dimension or the second dimension, etc. Accordingly, the preset degree can also be preset accordingly.

[0093] In some other embodiments, the step S46 of determining the identity information and posture information of the human body on the smart mat body according to the shape and size of the pressure area contour map may also specifically include:

[0094] Matching a regular pattern close to the contour of the compressed area;

[0095] If the regular shape is a circle, a square, a triangle or a polygon, the identity information of the human body is determined as a fat adult, and the posture information of the human body is determined as a sitting posture;

[0096] If the regular shape is an ellipse or rectangle, measure the length and width of the regular shape;

[0097] If the difference between the length and the width of the regular pattern reaches a preset degree, the posture information of the human body is determined to be a lying position or a lying position; and

[0098] If the difference between the length and the width of the regular pattern is smaller than a preset degree, the identity information of the human body is determined as a fat adult, and the posture information of the human body is determined as a sitting posture.

[0099] That is to say, in other embodiments, a regular pattern similar to the compressed area contour map may be first found, and then the posture information and identity information of the human body may be identified through the shape and size of the regular pattern. Since the shape and size of the regular pattern are easy to obtain, this method of identifying the posture information and identity information of the human body is more convenient and quick. This embodiment is applicable to the case where a regular pattern can be matched to the compressed area contour map.

[0100] In some embodiments, the step S50 of adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the determined identity information and posture information may specifically include:

[0101] If the identity information of the human body is a child, and the posture information of the human body is a sitting posture, the wind speed of the air conditioner is adjusted to the lowest gear, and the air is supplied away from the human body;

[0102] If the identity information of the human body is that of an average adult, and the posture information of the human body is that of a sitting position, the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the set parameters.

[0103] The setting parameters of the air conditioner basically meet the needs of general adults. Therefore, when the person is a general adult and sitting, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate according to the setting parameters, and there is no need to adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner. It can be understood that the setting parameters of the air conditioner include not only parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc., but also wind direction, whether to swing the wind, etc.

[0104] Children are more sensitive to the environment and have lower resistance. For the health of children, adjust the air conditioner to the lowest speed and send air away from the human body. On the basis of properly adjusting the indoor environment, try to avoid the harm caused by cold or hot air blowing directly on children.

[0105] In some embodiments, the step S50 of adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the determined identity information and posture information may specifically include:

[0106] If the identity information of the human body is that of an obese adult, and the posture information of the human body is that of a sitting posture, the wind speed of the air conditioner is adjusted to the highest gear;

[0107] If the posture information of the human body is lying or lying, the air conditioner is adjusted to the sleep mode and the air is supplied away from the human body.

[0108] Since overweight adults are more afraid of heat than average adults, the wind speed can be adjusted to the highest level when the overweight adults are in a sitting position to improve their cooling experience.

[0109] Whether it is a child, an average adult, or an obese adult, when they are in a lying or reclining position, they are in a resting state. At this time, it is more beneficial to the user's health to automatically adjust the air conditioner to the sleep mode and send air away from the human body.

[0110] In some embodiments, the step of detecting whether there is a human body on the smart mat includes:

[0111] The human body detection device on the air conditioner detects whether there is a human body on the smart mat.

[0112] That is, whether there is a human body on the smart mat can be detected by the human body detection device provided by the air conditioner, and there is no need to set up other human body detection devices, thus saving costs.

[0113] Specifically, the human body detection device may be, for example, a radar detection device, an infrared detection device or other detection devices capable of detecting the human body.

[0114] In some embodiments, the step S30 of obtaining the pressure area of ​​the smart pad may specifically include:

[0115] Obtaining pressure detected by multiple pressure sensors distributed on the smart mat body;

[0116] Determine the position of the pressure sensor where the detected pressure is greater than the preset pressure value as the pressure position;

[0117] determining a set of all the compressed positions as a compressed area of ​​the smart mat; and

[0118] Calculate the area of ​​the compressed region.

[0119] In some alternative embodiments, the pressure area of ​​the smart pad may also be obtained by other methods.

[0120] It is understandable that user discomfort, air-conditioning disease, etc. are more likely to occur when the air conditioner is in cooling mode. Therefore, the above-mentioned interconnection control method of the present invention is more suitable for the case where the air conditioner is operating in cooling mode.

[0121] The present invention also provides an interconnection control device for an air conditioner and an intelligent mat body, wherein the intelligent mat body and the air conditioner are located in the same indoor environment space.

[0122] Figure 4 2 is a schematic structural block diagram of an interconnection control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The interconnection control device 20 of the present invention includes a processor 21 and a memory 22, the memory 22 stores a machine executable program 23, and the machine executable program 23 is used to implement the interconnection control method described in any of the above embodiments when executed by the processor 21.

[0123] Specifically, the processor 21 can be a central processing unit (CPU), or a digital processing unit, etc. The processor 21 sends 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 that can be used to carry or store the desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and can be accessed by a computer, and can also be a combination of multiple memories. The above-mentioned 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).

[0124] As mentioned above, the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the smart mat body in any of the above embodiments is described from the side of the interconnection control device 20, that is, the interconnection control device 20 executes the relevant steps.
