[0046] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes a car air conditioner, and the execution subject of the above steps may be the car air conditioner, which is installed in a motorhome. Specifically, the car air conditioner obtains user detection information and vehicle scene information; the car air conditioner determines the in-car sterilization strategy according to the user detection information and scene information; and the car air conditioner controls the operation of the ozone module according to the in-car sterilization strategy.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0048] S10: Obtain user detection information and vehicle scene information.

[0049] S20: Determine the in-vehicle sterilization strategy based on the user detection information and scene information.

[0050] S30, controlling the operation of the ozone module according to the in-vehicle sterilization strategy.

[0051] By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by acquiring user detection information and vehicle scene information, and then controlling the ozone module to execute the corresponding vehicle sterilization strategy according to the user detection information and the vehicle scene information, the health risks caused to the user himself and other people in the car due to the bacteria and viruses carried by the user when returning from outside the car to the car are solved; in this way, by using the air conditioner linked to the ozone module, effective sterilization and timely disinfection of the user and the space inside the car are achieved, thereby providing a safer driving environment for the people in the car.

[0052] In the disclosed embodiment, the scene information of the vehicle may include a scene where no one is in the vehicle, a scene where the user returns, a scene where the user sleeps, etc. The user detection information may include user information in the vehicle and user information outside the vehicle. Optionally, the detected user information in the vehicle may include someone in the vehicle and no one in the vehicle; the detected user information outside the vehicle may include someone in the associated area outside the vehicle and no one in the associated area outside the vehicle. Specifically, when it is determined that there is someone in the vehicle, the user detection information may also include user status information; when it is determined that there is someone in the associated area outside the vehicle, the user detection information may also include user identity information.

[0053] In some embodiments, the in-vehicle sterilization strategy includes a target operating mode of the ozone module. The in-vehicle sterilization strategy is determined based on user detection information and scene information, including: when the user detection information indicates that there is someone in the car, the target operating mode of the ozone module is determined based on the scene information; when the user detection information indicates that there is no one in the car, the target operating mode of the ozone module is determined based on the outdoor environment information when the scene information is obtained.

[0054] Optionally, the in-car sterilization strategy may include controlling the ozone module to operate in a target operation mode. In this way, determining the in-car sterilization strategy requires first determining the target operation mode of the ozone module. When the user detection information indicates that there is no one in the car, it is necessary to first obtain the outdoor environment information. Specifically, the outdoor environment information may include the current outdoor temperature, the current outdoor humidity, the outdoor air quality, etc.

[0055] In the disclosed embodiment, the target operation mode of the ozone module may include the target operation time and target ozone concentration of the ozone module. The target ozone concentration here may be a target value set by the ozone module to adjust the ozone concentration in the vehicle.

[0056] Optionally, the in-car sterilization strategy may include controlling the air conditioner to blow air in a target air outlet mode. Specifically, the target air outlet mode may include a target air outlet direction, a target air outlet speed, and a target air outlet temperature.

[0057] In some embodiments, the target operation mode of the ozone module is determined based on the scene information, including: when the scene information matches the user's return scene, obtaining the first position information of the user in the vehicle; and determining the target operation mode of the ozone module based on the first position information.

[0058] Optionally, the first position information includes the head position information and / or clothing position information of the user in the vehicle. In one example, determining the target operation mode of the ozone module based on the first position information may include: determining the clothing position information of the user in the vehicle; determining the target treatment area based on the clothing position information; determining the target operation mode of the ozone module to release ozone to the target treatment area to disinfect and sterilize the clothes of the user in the vehicle. In another example, determining the target operation mode of the ozone module based on the first position information may also include: determining the head position information of the user in the vehicle; determining the target treatment area based on the head position information; determining the target operation mode of the ozone module to release ozone to the target treatment area to ensure that the head of the user in the vehicle is not in the target treatment area, thereby ensuring that the head of the user in the vehicle will not be directly sprayed with ozone by the ozone module.

[0059] In actual applications, when the scene information matches the user's return scene, the air conditioner can control the ozone module to disinfect the user who returns to the car. The air conditioner obtains the user's head position information detected by the high-definition camera and controls the ozone module to avoid the user's face when spraying ozone. During the disinfection process, the air conditioner can control the voice module to play processing prompts to the user to remind the user to follow the disinfection process, such as turning around, raising legs, etc., so as to achieve comprehensive disinfection and sterilization of users returning from outside.

[0060] Optionally, when it is determined that the scene information meets the user's return scene, the in-car sterilization strategy may also include reducing the ozone concentration in the car. Accordingly, after the ozone module completes the disinfection process on the clothes of the returning user, the in-car sterilization strategy may also include controlling the ozone module to stop working and reminding the user to open the window for ventilation. Alternatively, after the ozone module completes the disinfection process on the clothes of the returning user, the in-car sterilization strategy may also include controlling the ozone module to stop working and controlling the air conditioner to start the fresh air function to reduce the ozone concentration in the car and avoid excessive ozone concentration in the car causing discomfort to the user.

[0061] As an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, step S20 may specifically include the following steps:

[0062] S21. When the user detection information indicates that there is someone in the vehicle, determine the scene information of the vehicle.

[0063] S22. When the scene information matches the user's return scene, obtain the first location information of the user in the car.

[0064] S23. Determine a target operation mode of the ozone module according to the first position information.

[0065] By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user detection information indicates that there is someone in the car and the scene information matches the user's return scene, the in-car sterilization strategy executed by the ozone module is determined according to the first position information of the user in the car, thereby achieving effective sterilization and timely disinfection of the user and the space inside the car, thereby solving the health risks to the user and other people in the car caused by carrying bacteria and viruses when the user returns from outside the car.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the scene information matches the user's return scene, the method for controlling the air conditioner also includes: determining a reference temperature range based on current season information; when the temperature inside the car does not match the reference temperature range, controlling the air conditioner to adjust the temperature inside the car; when it is determined that the air conditioner is in a cooling operation state, determining the blowing direction of the air conditioner based on the first position information.

[0067] Optionally, the in-car sterilization strategy may further include controlling the air conditioner to blow air in a target air outlet direction. Specifically, when it is determined that the scene information matches the user's return scene, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: obtaining the operating state of the air conditioner; when the operating state indicates that the air conditioner is in a cooling operating state, determining the target air outlet direction to blow air in a direction avoiding the user's head.

[0068] Specifically, determining the target air outlet direction may include: determining the target air outlet direction of the air conditioner according to the first position information. In this way, it is possible to prevent the low-temperature air outlet of the air conditioner from blowing directly toward the user's head under cooling, thereby preventing the user who has just returned from outside the vehicle from feeling uncomfortable due to the blowing air.

[0069] As an optional embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, after step S21, the method for controlling the air conditioner may further include the following steps:

[0070] S24. Determine a reference temperature range based on current season information.

[0071] S25. When the temperature inside the vehicle does not meet the reference temperature range, control the air conditioner to adjust the temperature inside the vehicle.

[0072] S26. When it is determined that the air conditioner is in a cooling operation state, determine the blowing direction of the air conditioner according to the first position information.

[0073] By adopting the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is determined that the air conditioner is in a cooling operation state, the blowing direction of the air conditioner is determined according to the first position information, so as to prevent the low-temperature air outlet of the air conditioner under cooling from directly blowing toward the user's head, and to prevent the user who has just returned from outside the car from feeling uncomfortable due to the blowing wind.

[0074] In some embodiments, the target operation mode of the ozone module is determined according to the outdoor environment information when the scene information is obtained, including: determining the current outdoor temperature according to the outdoor environment information; determining the target operation time and target ozone concentration of the ozone module according to the current outdoor temperature. Typically, the target operation time of the ozone module is within the range of 30-60 minutes, and the target ozone concentration is within the range of 0.2-0.4 mg / m3.

[0075] Optionally, determining the target operation mode of the ozone module may also include: determining the ozone release rate of the ozone module according to the current outdoor temperature. Determining the ozone release rate of the ozone module according to the current outdoor temperature may include: when the current outdoor temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, determining the ozone release rate to be the first rate; when the current outdoor temperature is less than the second temperature threshold and greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, determining the ozone release rate to be the second rate; when the current outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, determining the ozone release rate to be the third rate. Wherein, the first rate is greater than or equal to the second rate, and the second rate is greater than or equal to the third rate. Since higher temperatures will lead to higher ozone generation rates, under the same release conditions, the ozone release rate will increase when the temperature is better. This solution takes into account the impact of temperature on ozone generation, and sets different ozone release rates based on different outdoor temperature conditions.

[0076] Optionally, the air conditioner can obtain a disinfection information library, which stores multiple ozone release rates, as well as set operating hours and set ozone concentrations of the ozone module corresponding to different ozone release rates. Therefore, the corresponding target operating hours and target ozone concentration can be determined from the disinfection information library by determining the ozone release rate.

[0077] As an optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, step S20 may further specifically include the following steps:

[0078] S27. When the user detection information indicates that there is no one in the vehicle, obtain outdoor environment information.

[0079] S28. Determine the current outdoor temperature according to the outdoor environment information.

[0080] S29. Determine the target operating time and target ozone concentration of the ozone module according to the current outdoor temperature.

[0081] By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user detection information indicates that there is no one in the car, the in-car sterilization strategy executed by the ozone module is controlled according to the current outdoor temperature, thereby achieving effective sterilization and timely disinfection of the user and the space inside the car, thereby solving the health risks to the user and other people in the car caused by carrying bacteria and viruses when the user returns to the car from outside.

[0082] In some embodiments, after obtaining user detection information, the method for controlling the air conditioner also includes: when the user detection information indicates that there is someone in the associated area outside the vehicle, obtaining image information of the associated area; if the image information indicates that there is a user approaching the vehicle in the associated area, then authenticating the user approaching the vehicle.

[0083] Optionally, the identity of the user approaching the vehicle is authenticated in the following manner: parsing the image information of the associated area to determine the identity information of the user in the associated area; comparing the identity information with a preset identity; if the identity information matches the preset identity, determining that the user identity authentication has passed; if the identity information does not match the preset identity, determining that the user identity authentication has failed.

[0084] The safety issue of RVs during parking has always been a major concern for RV users, especially when no one is in the vehicle or the user is resting. The method for controlling the air conditioner provided in the disclosed embodiment can monitor the associated area outside the vehicle, detect unfamiliar users in the associated area, and push prompt information to the associated users to ensure the safety of the user and the vehicle.

[0085] As an optional embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, after step S10, the method for controlling the air conditioner may further include the following steps:

[0086] S11. When the user detection information indicates that there is a person in the associated area outside the vehicle, obtain image information of the associated area.

[0087] S12: If the image information indicates that a user is approaching the vehicle in the associated area, identity verification is performed on the user approaching the vehicle.

[0088] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted to ensure the safety of the users in the vehicle and the vehicle by detecting unfamiliar users in the associated area and pushing prompt information to the associated users.

[0089] In some embodiments, the user approaching the vehicle performs identity authentication, including: if the user identity authentication passes, determining that the scene information matches the user return scene; if the user identity authentication fails, controlling the air conditioner to push prompt information to the associated user. In this solution, the associated user can be a bound user with the vehicle, or a user who can pass the identity authentication.

[0090] In actual applications, when the user detection information indicates that there is no one in the car or the user in the car is asleep, it is determined whether there is anyone in the associated area outside the car. If there is someone in the associated area outside the car and there is a user approaching the vehicle in the associated area, the user approaching the vehicle is authenticated; and if the user authentication fails, the air conditioner is controlled to push a prompt message to the associated user.

[0091] Optionally, before pushing the prompt information to the associated user, the method for controlling the air conditioner further includes: determining the user's behavior status information, and pushing the prompt information to the associated user when the behavior status information meets the warning condition.

[0092] Optionally, whether the behavior status information meets the warning condition is determined in the following manner: second location information of users in the associated area is acquired, and whether the behavior status information meets the warning condition is determined according to the second location information.

[0093] Specifically, the behavior status information meets the warning conditions, including that the user in the associated area touches the car lock; or the user in the associated area stays in the associated area for more than the reference stay time. The reference stay time can be factory preset or manually set by the user, for example, the reference stay time is 20 minutes.
