[0017] The thermal imaging unit is used to collect thermal imaging images indoors.

[0018] Furthermore, the motion sensing module includes:

[0019] A person determination unit is used to determine whether a living thing in the room is a person;

[0020] The behavior judgment unit is used to judge whether the actions of people in the room are violent.

[0021] Furthermore, the temperature detection module includes:

When the air conditioner controller receives a temperature difference turn-on signal and a person turn-on signal at the same time, it sends a turn-on signal to turn on the air conditioner. When the motion sensing module detects that there are no people in the room, it starts timing through a timing module. If an energy-saving threshold is reached, an energy-saving signal is sent to the air conditioner controller to control the air conditioner to start an energy-saving mode. After the energy-saving mode is turned on, the timing module starts timing again. If the timing module reaches a turn-off threshold, the timing module sends a turn-off signal to a mobile phone terminal. When the timing unit reaches a stop threshold, the timing unit sends a stop signal to the air conditioner controller to control the air conditioner to turn off.
