[0036] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, smart home appliances refer to home appliances that are formed by introducing microprocessors, sensor technology, and network communication technology into home appliances.

[0038] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0039] S11, when it is determined that a user in the room where the air conditioner is located falls asleep, the air conditioner obtains the sleep stage information determined by the radar module and the sound information collected by the voice module.

[0040] S12, when the sound information is snoring, the air conditioner determines the snoring level information of the sleeping user;

[0041] S13, the air conditioner determines a target air supply plan of the air conditioner according to the sleep stage information and the snoring level information.

[0042] S14, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to execute the target air supply plan.

[0043] In this solution, the air conditioner is equipped with a radar module and a voice module. Among them, the radar module can be a millimeter wave radar or a 24GHz radar module. Specifically, the radar module can determine the position, speed and motion state of the human body by calculating information such as the frequency change and phase difference of the reflected signal. And through continuous monitoring and analysis of these data, it can identify small movements of the human body, such as breathing and heart rate changes. In this way, when the radar module detects that the human body is in a stationary state, and physiological indicators such as breathing and heart rate meet the characteristics of falling asleep, it can be judged that the user in the room where the air conditioner is located has fallen asleep. With this solution, the air conditioner can use the radar module to judge whether the user is asleep.

[0044] In an optimized solution, in order to improve the accuracy of judgment, the radar module is usually combined with machine learning or deep learning algorithms for pattern recognition and classification. In this way, the unique characteristics of the sleeping state can be learned and identified by analyzing a large amount of data.

[0045] It is understandable that the signal strength of the millimeter-wave radar is easily affected by the humidity of the environment, and the echo signal will be significantly attenuated when the humidity increases. Therefore, in this embodiment, the humidity sensor integrated in the air conditioner can also be used to detect the humidity of the environment in real time, and the threshold of the reflected signal of the millimeter-wave radar can be dynamically adjusted accordingly to ensure that the micro-movement of the human body can be accurately detected under different humidity conditions, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of detection.

[0046] Furthermore, when it is determined that the user in the room where the air conditioner is located has fallen asleep, the air conditioner can control the radar module to determine the sleep stage information of the sleeping user and control the voice module to collect sound information in the room where the air conditioner is located. Among them, the radar module can transmit microwave signals and receive signals reflected from the human body, and use pre-stored algorithms to process the reflected signals to extract physiological characteristic parameters such as breathing frequency, heart rate, and body movement, and then use intelligent algorithms such as machine learning or deep learning to identify and classify these parameters, so as to accurately determine the sleep stage information of the sleeping user. Here, the sleep stage information of the sleeping user includes light sleep period, deep sleep period, etc. With this solution, the radar module can be used to accurately obtain the sleep stage information of the sleeping user.

[0047] Furthermore, the air conditioner can identify the sound information collected by the voice module to determine whether the sound information is snoring. In one example, the air conditioner can use a pre-stored algorithm to analyze and process the sound signal. The algorithm can extract characteristics such as frequency, loudness and duration of the sound signal, and compare it with known snoring characteristics. When the collected sound signal is low in frequency, high in loudness and long in duration, that is, it meets the characteristics of snoring, the air conditioner can determine that the sound information is snoring. With this solution, the accuracy and reliability of the judgment can be ensured.

[0048] Optionally, the air conditioner can determine the snoring level information of the sleeping user when the sound information is snoring. In one example, the air conditioner can determine the snoring level information of the sleeping user in combination with the pre-stored clinical condition of the sleeping user. Specifically, if the clinical condition of the sleeping user includes only slight snoring, no breath holding at night, and no major clinical symptoms, the snoring level information of the sleeping user is determined to be low level. If the clinical condition of the sleeping user includes loud snoring, no breath holding, possible mild drowsiness, and lack of concentration, the snoring level information of the sleeping user is determined to be medium level. If the clinical condition of the sleeping user includes snoring like thunder, clinical symptoms such as breath holding and waking up, and there may be substantial organ damage, such as combined hypertension and diabetes, the snoring level information of the sleeping user is determined to be high level. In another example, the air conditioner determines the snoring level information of the sleeping user, including: the air conditioner obtains the sleep apnea hypopnea index and arterial oxygen saturation of the sleeping user. The air conditioner determines the snoring level information according to the sleep apnea hypopnea index and arterial oxygen saturation of the sleeping user. With this solution, the snoring level information of the sleeping user can be determined by combining multiple methods.

[0049] Furthermore, the air conditioner can determine a target air supply plan for the air conditioner based on the sleep stage information and the snoring level information, and control the air conditioner to execute the target air supply plan.

[0050] By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to accurately obtain the sleep stage information of the user through the radar module after determining that the user has fallen asleep. And after the voice module recognizes that the user is snoring, the snoring level information of the sleeping user is determined. Therefore, the target air supply plan of the air conditioner is intelligently executed in combination with the sleep stage information and the snoring level information. In this way, by accurately controlling the airflow, the snoring user is gently stimulated to naturally adjust the sleeping position, thereby effectively reducing the interference of snoring to another sleeper without disturbing the sleep of the snorer, and significantly improving the sleep quality of another person in the same room.

[0051] Optionally, in S13, the air conditioner determines a target air supply scheme of the air conditioner according to the sleep stage information and the snoring level information, including:

[0052] When the sleep stage information is a light sleep stage and the snoring level information is a low or medium level, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the first speed gear. Or,

[0053] When the sleep stage information is a light sleep stage and the snoring level information is a high level, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the second speed gear. Or,

[0054] When the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is low level, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the first speed gear. Or,

[0055] When the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is medium, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the second speed gear. Or,

[0056] When the sleep stage information is a deep sleep stage and the snoring level information is a high level, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at a third speed gear.

[0057] In this solution, the speed of the air conditioner fan when operating at the first speed gear is lower than the speed of the air conditioner fan when operating at the second speed gear, and the speed of the air conditioner fan when operating at the second speed gear is lower than the speed of the air conditioner fan when operating at the third speed gear. Specifically, the first speed gear can be a silent gear, the second speed gear can be a low wind gear, and the third speed gear can be a medium wind gear.

[0058] Understandably, during the light sleep period, the user is more sensitive to the external environment, and a slight stimulation can attract attention. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is a light sleep period and the snoring level information is a low or medium level, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the first speed gear. With this scheme, a weak and uniform airflow can be provided, which can gently stimulate the user to adjust the sleeping position unconsciously, help reduce airway obstruction, and thus reduce snoring, while avoiding significant interference with the user's sleep.

[0059] It is understandable that if high-level snoring occurs during the light sleep period, it means that the airway obstruction is more serious. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is light sleep and the snoring level information is high, the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is determined to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the second speed gear. With this scheme, by providing slightly stronger airflow stimulation, it is more effective to encourage the user to turn over or adjust the sleeping position to alleviate airway obstruction and reduce the intensity of snoring. It should be noted that since it is still in the light sleep period, the sleeping user is more likely to respond to external stimuli. Therefore, the setting of the second speed gear also controls the airflow intensity blown by the air conditioner to a range that will not completely wake up the user.

[0060] Understandably, during deep sleep, the user's sensitivity to the external environment is significantly reduced, and stronger stimulation is required to elicit a response. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is low, the air conditioner determines the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the first speed gear. With this scheme, by providing a weak airflow, the comfort of the indoor environment is maintained, and snoring can be reduced through slight airflow stimulation without disturbing the user's deep sleep.

[0061] Understandably, the airflow intensity of the second speed gear is moderate, and can provide sufficient stimulation without destroying the user's deep sleep structure. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is medium, the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is determined to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the second speed gear. This scheme can effectively encourage users to naturally adjust their sleeping posture during sleep, reduce airway obstruction, and thus reduce snoring.

[0062] Understandably, when high-level snoring occurs during deep sleep, the situation is more serious and stronger stimulation may be needed to prompt the user to adjust the sleeping position. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is high, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air conditioner fan to operate at the third speed gear to provide a stronger airflow stimulation. With this scheme, the user can be quickly and effectively prompted to turn over or change sleeping position to minimize airway obstruction and reduce snoring. It should be noted that although this intensity of airflow may cause certain interference to the user, in deep sleep, the user's sensitivity to external stimuli is low, and reducing snoring is crucial to the sleep quality of other users in the same room.

[0063] Optionally, in S13, the air conditioner determines a target air supply scheme of the air conditioner according to the sleep stage information and the snoring level information, including:

[0064] When the sleep stage information is a light sleep stage and the snoring level information is a low level or a medium level, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to be lowered by a first amplitude. Or,

[0065] When the sleep stage information is a light sleep stage and the snoring level information is a high level, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to be lowered by a second amplitude. Or,

[0066] When the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is low level, the air conditioner determines the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to increase by a first amplitude. Or,

[0067] When the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is medium, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to increase by a second amplitude. Or,

[0068] When the sleep stage information is a deep sleep stage and the snoring level information is a high level, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to increase by a third amplitude.

[0069] In this solution, the first amplitude is less than the second amplitude, and the second amplitude is less than the third amplitude. The first amplitude, the second amplitude, and the third amplitude can all be preset. For example, the first amplitude is 1°C, the second amplitude is 2°C, and the third amplitude is 3°C.

[0070] Understandably, during the light sleep period, the user is more sensitive to the external environment. A moderate temperature reduction can bring a slight cool feeling, which helps users stay comfortable and reduce sleep interruptions caused by temperature discomfort. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is light sleep and the snoring level information is low or medium, the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is determined to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to be lowered by 1°C. With this scheme, the slight cool feeling may prompt the user to naturally adjust the sleeping position during sleep, thereby indirectly alleviating upper airway obstruction and reducing the occurrence of low or medium snoring. It helps to improve the overall sleep quality of the user while reducing the interference of snoring to other users in the same room.

[0071] Understandably, if high-level snoring occurs during light sleep, it means that the airway obstruction is more serious. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is light sleep and the snoring level information is high, the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is determined to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to be lowered by 2°C. With this scheme, the user is stimulated by more obvious temperature changes, prompting him to naturally adjust his body position during light sleep, thereby alleviating upper airway obstruction, helping to improve the sleep quality of other users in the same room, while maintaining the comfort and sleep continuity of the snoring user himself.

[0072] Understandably, during deep sleep, the user's sensitivity to the external environment decreases. A moderate temperature increase helps maintain the user's comfort and sleep depth, and avoids sleep interruptions caused by low temperatures. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is low, the target air supply scheme for the air conditioner is determined to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner by 1°C. With this scheme, although low-level snoring has little impact on other users in the same room, increasing the temperature of the air conditioner still helps maintain a quiet sleeping environment and improve overall sleep quality.

[0073] Understandably, although users in deep sleep are less sensitive to external stimuli, moderate temperature changes may still affect the user's breathing pattern through subtle physiological reactions, helping to reduce snoring. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is medium, the target air supply scheme for the air conditioner is determined to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner by 2°C. With this scheme, while ensuring the user's comfort, the user's breathing pattern is indirectly affected by temperature changes, reducing medium-level snoring, and helping to improve the sleep quality of other users in the same room.

[0074] Understandably, during deep sleep, the user's sensitivity to the external environment decreases. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is deep sleep and the snoring level information is high, the target air supply scheme for the air conditioner is determined to control the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to increase by 3°C. With this scheme, users are stimulated by significant temperature changes, prompting them to turn over or adjust their sleeping positions during deep sleep to reduce high-level snoring. In this way, by significantly reducing snoring, it helps to improve the sleep quality of other users in the same room while maintaining the comfort and deep sleep state of the snoring user himself.

[0075] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining snoring level information provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 As shown, optionally, in S12, the air conditioner determines the snoring level information of the sleeping user, including:

[0076] S21, the air conditioner obtains the sleep apnea-hypopnea index and arterial oxygen saturation of the sleeping user.

[0077] S22, the air conditioner determines the snoring level information according to the sleep apnea-hypopnea index and arterial oxygen saturation of the sleeping user.

[0078] In this solution, the air conditioner can obtain the sleep apnea-hypopnea index of the sleeping user through its associated sleep monitoring device or a wearable device with integrated sleep monitoring function. The air conditioner can also obtain arterial blood oxygen saturation through its associated blood oxygen monitoring sensor. With this solution, the sleep apnea-hypopnea index and arterial blood oxygen saturation of the sleeping user can be accurately obtained.

[0079] Further, the air conditioner can determine the snoring level information in combination with the sleep apnea-hypopnea index and arterial oxygen saturation of the sleeping user. Specifically, the air conditioner determines the snoring level information according to the sleep apnea-hypopnea index and arterial oxygen saturation of the sleeping user, including: when the sleep apnea-hypopnea index of the sleeping user is in the first index interval and the arterial oxygen saturation is in the first saturation interval, the snoring level information is determined to be a low level. When the sleep apnea-hypopnea index of the sleeping user is in the second index interval and the arterial oxygen saturation is in the second saturation interval, the snoring level information is determined to be a medium level. When the sleep apnea-hypopnea index of the sleeping user is in the third index interval and the arterial oxygen saturation is in the third saturation interval, the snoring level information is determined to be a high level. Among them, the first index interval is [5, 15], the second index interval is [15, 30], the third index interval is [30, +∞], the first saturation interval is [85%, 90%], the second saturation interval is [80%, 85%], and the third saturation interval is [-∞, 80%]. With this solution, the sleep apnea hypopnea index and arterial oxygen saturation of the sleeping user can be used to accurately judge the user's snoring level information, providing an important basis for formulating personalized sleep health management and improvement plans.

[0080] Figure 3 is another schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 3 As shown, optionally, after obtaining the sleep stage information determined by the radar module, the method further includes:

[0081] S31, the air conditioner determines a target air supply area of ​​the air conditioner according to the sleep stage information.

[0082] S32, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to supply air to the target air supply area.

[0083] In this solution, the air conditioner determines the target air supply area of ​​the air conditioner according to the sleep staging information, including: when the sleep staging information is a deep sleep period, the air conditioner determines the target air supply area of ​​the air conditioner to be the first area. Alternatively, when the sleep staging information is a light sleep period, the air conditioner determines the target air supply area of ​​the air conditioner to be the second area. Among them, the first area is the area where the sleeping users are located, and the second area is the area where the non-sleeping users are located. Furthermore, the air conditioner controls it to supply air to the target air supply area. With this solution, through intelligent analysis of the sleep staging information, the air conditioner is precisely controlled to supply air to a specific area, and the wind stimulation is effectively adjusted to prompt the snoring user to turn over naturally, thereby significantly reducing the sleep interference to other users in the same room, and greatly improving the sleep quality and comfort of indoor users.

[0084] Optionally, in S31, the air conditioner determines a target air supply area of ​​the air conditioner according to the sleep stage information, including:

[0085] When the sleep stage information is a deep sleep stage, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply area of ​​the air conditioner is the first area. Or,

[0086] When the sleep stage information is a light sleep stage, the air conditioner determines that the target air supply area of ​​the air conditioner is the second area.

[0087] In this solution, the first area is the area where the sleeping user is located, and the second area is the area where the non-sleeping user is located. In an optimized solution, the area where the non-sleeping user is located is preferably the surrounding area of ​​the sleeping user.

[0088] Understandably, during deep sleep, the user's sensitivity to the external environment decreases. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is deep sleep, the air conditioner automatically sets the target air supply area to the first area where the sleeping user is located. This precise air supply strategy ensures that the wind force of the air conditioner directly acts on the snoring user, so that the snoring user can naturally turn over under the slight wind stimulation, thereby changing the position of the respiratory tract and reducing or eliminating the snoring sound. This strategy not only reduces the interference of snoring to other users in the same room, but also improves the harmony of the overall sleeping environment.

[0089] Understandably, during the light sleep stage, the user is more susceptible to the external environment. Therefore, when the sleep stage information is light sleep stage, the air conditioner can set the target air supply area to the second area where the non-sleeping user is located. In this way, by providing an appropriate amount of wind stimulation to the area where the non-sleeping user is located, it can indirectly affect the snoring user, prompting him to turn over and reduce the snoring sound. This strategy not only maintains the harmony of the sleeping environment, but also avoids causing discomfort to the snoring user directly.

[0090] Figure 4 is another schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 4 As shown, optionally, after obtaining the sleep stage information determined by the radar module, the method further includes:

[0091] S41, when the sound information is other sounds, the air conditioner determines a target adjustment scheme of the air conditioner according to the sleep stage information and the sleep curve.

[0092] S42, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to execute the target adjustment plan.

[0093] In this solution, other sounds are non-snoring sounds. In this way, in the situation where the sound information is non-snoring sound, the air conditioner can determine its target adjustment plan based on the user's sleep stage information and Haier's unique sleep curve. The Haier sleep curve here is a comprehensive adjustment guide, which not only includes the temperature change curve, but also widely involves the adjustment curves of multiple key environmental factors such as humidity, wind speed and wind direction. After the air conditioner determines the user's sleep stage information, it can accurately match the air conditioner adjustment parameters that best match the user's current sleep state in the Haier sleep curve. Subsequently, the air conditioner will automatically adjust its working state based on this matched target adjustment plan. With this solution, users can be provided with a more personalized and comfortable sleeping environment, ensuring that users can enjoy suitable temperature, humidity and airflow conditions in different sleep stages.

[0094] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a device for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device 200 for controlling an air conditioner, including an acquisition module 51, a first determination module 52, a second determination module 53 and a control module 54. The acquisition module 51 is configured to acquire the sleep stage information determined by the radar module and the sound information collected by the voice module when it is determined that the user in the room where the air conditioner is located has fallen asleep. The first determination module 52 is configured to determine the snoring level information of the sleeping user when the sound information is snoring. The second determination module 53 is configured to determine the target air supply plan of the air conditioner based on the sleep stage information and the snoring level information. The control module 54 is configured to control the air conditioner to execute the target air supply plan.

[0095] By using the device 200 for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the radar module can be used to accurately obtain the sleep stage information of the user after the user falls asleep. And after the voice module recognizes that the user is snoring, the snoring level information of the sleeping user is determined. Therefore, the target air supply plan of the air conditioner is intelligently executed in combination with the sleep stage information and the snoring level information. In this way, by accurately controlling the airflow, the snoring user is gently stimulated to naturally adjust the sleeping position, thereby effectively reducing the interference of snoring to another sleeper without disturbing the sleep of the snorer, and significantly improving the sleep quality of another person in the same room.
