[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0038] The operating principle of the air conditioner involved in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below:

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the compressor compresses the refrigerant (coolant) and transports it to the condenser through a pipeline. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases heat in the condenser and becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. After that, the medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant is depressurized by a capillary tube (throttling unit) and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant is transported to the evaporator to evaporate from liquid to gas, and absorbs a large amount of heat during the evaporation process. Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the evaporator is transported to the compressor to participate in the next cycle. When the air conditioner is cooling, the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit is the condenser, and the heat exchanger of the indoor unit is the evaporator; conversely, when the air conditioner is heating, the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit is the evaporator, and the heat exchanger of the indoor unit is the condenser.

[0040] The following is a description of the professional terms involved in the embodiments of the present application:

[0041] Millimeter wave radar: It is a new type of wireless communication technology that has developed rapidly in recent years and is also widely used in human body detection. Millimeter wave radar technology transmits millimeter wave signals to the target object and receives its echo signal. It uses the slight changes in weak signals to extract relevant information of the target object, thereby achieving non-contact and non-invasive measurement and identification of the object.

[0042] Based on the above characteristics of millimeter wave radar, its application in human body detection includes the following aspects:

[0043] Health monitoring: By detecting physiological parameters such as heartbeat, breathing, and body temperature, it is used for health monitoring and disease prevention. For example, in the medical field, the patient's heart or breathing power can be monitored by millimeter-wave radar, which can allow doctors to understand the patient's health status more accurately.

[0044] Posture recognition: By detecting and recognizing human posture, it can be further applied to the fields of human motion analysis and posture correction, which is of great help to people's physical health and exercise effect. For example, in a gym, millimeter-wave radar can be used to detect whether the athlete's posture is correct, so as to correct the athlete's wrong posture and reduce sports injuries.

[0045] Human safety detection: Millimeter-wave radar can perform security checks on the human body, identify and detect dangerous goods and thermal energy materials, etc., such as timely discovering people carrying dangerous goods in airports and large public places to ensure safety. In addition, when it detects that the human body is in poor condition, the millimeter-wave radar can also automatically send a signal to emergency personnel to obtain emergency help.

[0046] In short, millimeter wave radar has many applications in human body detection, which can effectively improve people's quality of life and ensure human safety. Due to the development of millimeter wave radar technology, future applications will also be more extensive and diversified.

[0047] Compared with traditional infrared sensors, millimeter wave radar has the following advantages:

[0048] Low false touch, wide range: Compared with infrared sensor trigger, it reduces the false touch rate and breaks the limitations of mobile monitoring. Millimeter wave radar can realize the presence perception, trajectory tracking and headcount of target personnel within the office scene area.

[0049] No risk of privacy leakage: Compared with cameras, millimeter-wave radar does not involve privacy leakage and complies with relevant privacy regulations. It is more suitable for office scenarios where it is not convenient to deploy cameras, such as employee office areas, meeting spaces, open spaces, and even highly sensitive places such as toilets and rest areas.

[0050] Strong environmental adaptability: Compared with infrared sensing equipment that relies on translucent materials such as glass and plastic as the outer shell, ultrasonic equipment needs to avoid the shortcomings of obstructions when in use, while millimeter-wave radar has fewer limiting factors. It does not need to have a specific shape setting like infrared sensors, nor does it need to be installed in a place with a wide viewing angle like a smart camera. It has penetrating characteristics and can be integrated into different devices to function as a basic hardware.

[0051] Swimmers often experience a cool feeling when they first enter the water, and also a cool feeling when they just come out of the water. In the related art, the problem of the cool feeling when just coming out of the water can be solved by increasing the indoor ambient temperature using an air conditioner. However, such methods still cannot solve the problem of the cool feeling when swimmers just enter the water.

[0052] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the related art, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner control method for a swimming pool scene, which can reduce the cool feeling of a swimmer when entering the water, and reduce the cool feeling of a swimmer when exiting the water.

[0053] The air conditioner control method for a swimming pool scene provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner control method for a swimming pool scene, which may include any one of the following steps 201, 202, and 203:

[0055] Step 201: Monitor the swimming state of the target object based on the millimeter wave radar installed on the air conditioner to obtain the swimming state information of the target object.

[0056] Exemplarily, the millimeter wave radar is a millimeter wave radar installed on an air conditioner, or a millimeter wave radar installed separately in a swimming pool, but can exchange information with the air conditioner. The target object is any swimmer in the swimming pool.

[0057] It should be noted that, in order to protect the privacy of users, it is not suitable to use cameras for target tracking and monitoring inside swimming places, and it is difficult to calculate the height of the human body through the images collected by the camera, so that the above target information cannot be obtained. In the embodiment of the present application, the millimeter wave radar is used to track and monitor the target, which can not only avoid the leakage of user privacy, but also measure the human body posture information of any target object, and further determine the swimming state of the target object.

[0058] Step 202: When the swimming state information indicates that the target object is about to enter water, perform a first target operation.

[0059] The first target operation is used to reduce the cool feeling of the target object when entering the water.

[0060] Exemplarily, when the air conditioner determines through the millimeter-wave radar that the target object is about to enter the water, it will control the air conditioner to perform a first target operation before the target object enters the water. The first target operation is used to lower the body surface temperature of the target object so that the target object can adapt to the lower water temperature in advance and avoid the cool feeling caused by the large temperature difference when just entering the water.

[0061] Step 203: When the swimming state information indicates that the target object is about to get out of water, execute a second target operation.

[0062] Wherein, the second target operation is used to reduce the cool feeling of the target object when it comes out of water.

[0063] Exemplarily, when the air conditioner determines through the millimeter-wave radar that the target object is about to enter or exit, it will control the air conditioner to perform a second target operation during the process of the target object exiting the water. The second target operation is used to evaporate the moisture on the target object's body surface in advance to avoid the cool feeling caused by the rapid evaporation of moisture on the target object's body surface due to air flow when the target object just exits the water.

[0064] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the tracking and identification of any target object in a swimming pool can be achieved through the following steps.

[0065] The above step 201 may include the following steps 201a and 201b:

[0066] Step 201a: obtaining a target radar image containing the target object collected by the millimeter-wave radar at the current moment, and determining the current human body features of the target object according to the target radar image.

[0067] Step 201b: When it is determined that the target object is located in the swimming pool area, the swimming state information is determined according to the current body characteristics and historical body characteristics of the target object.

[0068] The historical human features are obtained based on radar images containing the target object collected by the millimeter-wave radar before the current moment.

[0069] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned human body characteristics may include: human body posture characteristics, human body appearance characteristics, etc. Based on the human body characteristics, information such as the body height and the tilt angle of the human body may be determined.

[0070] Exemplarily, the target radar image is used to determine the current body features of the target object, and the current body length of the target object can be determined based on the current body features.

[0071] It should be noted that since the ultrasonic signal emitted by the millimeter-wave radar cannot penetrate water, the millimeter-wave radar can only identify the human body features of the target object above the water surface, and determine the body length of the target object above the water surface based on the human body features.

[0072] Exemplarily, the above historical radar images are used to determine the historical human features of the target object, and based on the historical human features, the total body length of the target object, that is, the height of the target object, can be determined.

[0073] Exemplarily, based on the current body length and height of the target object, the swimming state of the target object can be determined, and then the above-mentioned swimming state information can be obtained.

[0074] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, tracking and matching of each swimmer in a swimming venue may be achieved through the following steps.

[0075] For example, before the above step 201a, the air conditioner control method for a swimming pool scene provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 204 and 205, and any one of steps 206 and 207:

[0076] Step 204: Acquire a radar image to be matched that is collected by the millimeter-wave radar and contains an object to be matched.

[0077] Step 205: Determine a first human feature of the object to be matched according to the radar image to be matched, and match the first human feature with human features in a human feature library.

[0078] Step 206: When there is a second human feature matching the first human feature in the human feature library, the radar image to be matched is associated with at least one historical radar image, and the object to be matched is determined to be the target object.

[0079] Step 207: If there is no human feature matching the first human feature in the human feature library, add the first human feature to the human feature library, and establish an association relationship between the target radar image, the first human feature and the target object.

[0080] The at least one historical radar image is a radar image associated with the second human feature; and the second human feature is a human feature associated with the target object.

[0081] It is understandable that if Figure 3As shown in the figure, after the radar image is acquired, each object contained in the radar image needs to be tracked and matched, that is, after acquiring the human features of each object, they are matched with the human features in the human feature library. If the match is successful, it means that the object has been marked. At this time, the maximum body length of the object, that is, the body height of the object, can be determined based on the historical radar images associated with the object in the radar image library. If the match fails, it means that the object is a new swimmer. At this time, the human features of the object can be recorded in the human feature library, and the radar image of the object can be stored in the radar image library, and the association relationship between the radar image and the object can be established.

[0082] Based on this, the human features of each swimmer in the swimming pool can be matched according to the association between the object, human features and radar images, and then the target information of each swimmer can be obtained.

[0083] In one possible implementation, if no human features matching the target object are detected for more than a preset time, it means that the target object may have left the swimming place. That is, if the target object is not detected for a long time, it is judged that it has left. At this time, the human feature data of the target object can be deleted from the human feature library to reduce the amount of calculation.

[0084] It should be noted that the human body height of the target object recorded in the above steps can be multiple values, that is, the human body height in different states (including: standing, bending over, squatting). When calculating the length of the human body below the water surface, a maximum value of the human body height can be selected as the maximum body length of the target object.

[0085] Specifically, after the above step 207, the air conditioner control method for a swimming pool scene provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 208:

[0086] Step 208: If no human features matching the target object are detected for a preset period of time, the human features of the target object are deleted from the human feature library.

[0087] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the swimming state of the target object may be determined by the following method.

[0088] Specifically, the swimming pool area includes: a swimming area and a non-swimming area. The above step 201b may include the following step 201b1 or step 201b2:

[0089] Step 201b1: when it is determined based on the current human body features and the historical human body features that the target corresponds to a swimming area, determining that the swimming state of the target object is a state of about to enter the water.

[0090] Step 201b2: when it is determined based on the current human body features and the historical human body features that the target corresponds to a non-swimming area and the body length of the target object exposed above the water surface gradually increases, it is determined that the swimming state of the target object is about to come out of the water.

[0091] It should be noted that the millimeter-wave radar can monitor the movements and postures of the target object. Based on the movements and postures of the target object, it can determine a series of behaviors of the target object and further determine whether the target object wants to enter the water to swim or get out of the water to the shore.

[0092] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, the cool feeling of the target object when entering and exiting the water can be reduced by the following steps.

[0093] Specifically, the above step 202 may include the following steps 202a:

[0094] Step 202a: Control the air conditioner to operate in a cooling mode, and control the air conditioner to supply air to the target area where the target object is located, so as to reduce the body surface temperature of the target object.

[0095] For example, Figure 4 After the millimeter-wave radar captures the human target, the air conditioner will record the target's human height H, that is, the maximum body length mentioned above. Afterwards, the air conditioner determines the target's swimming state based on the radar image generated by the millimeter-wave radar. When the target's swimming state is about to enter the water, the air conditioner can enter the cooling mode, and the wind moves with the person to reduce the body surface temperature, reduce the temperature difference with the water temperature in the swimming pool, and ensure that there is no cold feeling when entering the water.

[0096] Specifically, the above step 203 may include the following steps 203a1 and 203a2:

[0097] Step 203a1: determine the maximum body length of the target object according to the historical human body characteristics, and determine the first body length of the target object's part exposed above the water surface according to the current human body characteristics.

[0098] Step 203a2: Calculate a target ratio of the first body length to the maximum body length.

[0099] Specifically, after the above step 203a2, the above step 203 may further include any one of the following steps 203b1 to 203b3:

[0100] Step 203b1: When the target ratio is less than a first preset threshold, control the air conditioner to operate in a dehumidification mode, and control the air conditioner to supply air to an area outside the target area where the target object is located.

[0101] Step 203b2: When the target ratio is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold and less than the second preset threshold, control the air conditioner to operate in heating mode and control the air conditioner to adjust the air supply mode to automatic air supply.

[0102] Step 203b3: When the target ratio is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, control the air conditioner to operate in a heating mode, and control the air conditioner to supply air to the target area.

[0103] The first preset threshold is smaller than the second preset threshold.

[0104] For example, Figure 4 As shown, when the target object's swimming state is about to get out of the water, it is first necessary to calculate the target object's body out of water ratio Q = h / H, where h is the target object's body length above the water surface. Afterwards, the size of Q is determined. When Q < 30% (i.e., the first preset threshold value mentioned above), the air conditioner is controlled to enter the dehumidification mode, and the wind avoids the target object; when 30% ≤ Q < 60% (i.e., the second preset threshold value mentioned above), the air conditioner is controlled to enter the heating mode, and the automatic wind is set; when Q ≥ 60% (i.e., the second preset threshold value mentioned above), the air conditioner is controlled to enter the heating mode, and the wind moves with the person. In this way, the moisture on the surface of the target object's body can be evaporated in advance, avoiding the target object from feeling cool due to the influence of air convection in the venue after getting out of the water.

[0105] It should be noted that the above-mentioned control of the air conditioner to enter the dehumidification mode is used to reduce the ambient humidity to accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the target object's body surface. Similarly, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the heating mode and supply air to the area where the target object is located to accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the target object's body surface while keeping the target object warm to avoid evaporative heat absorption causing the target object to feel cold.

[0106] The air conditioner control method for a swimming pool scene provided in an embodiment of the present application first monitors the swimming state of the target object based on the millimeter wave radar installed on the air conditioner to obtain the swimming state information of the target object; then, when the swimming state information indicates that the swimming state of the target object is about to enter the water, a first target operation is performed; or, when the swimming state information indicates that the swimming state of the target object is about to exit the water, a second target operation is performed; wherein the first target operation is used to reduce the cool feeling of the target object when entering the water; and the second target operation is used to reduce the cool feeling of the target object when exiting the water. In this way, according to the swimming state of the target object and by reasonably controlling the air conditioner, the problem of the swimmer feeling cool when just entering and exiting the water can be solved, thereby improving the swimmer's swimming experience.

[0107] It should be noted that the air conditioner control method for a swimming pool scene provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an air conditioner control device for a swimming pool scene, or a control module in the air conditioner control device for a swimming pool scene for executing the air conditioner control method for a swimming pool scene.
