[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling an air conditioner is provided. Figure 1 The flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention is shown. The indoor unit of the air conditioner has a communication module (such as a WIFI module), a detection module (such as an infrared sensor), and a sound module (such as a buzzer); the indoor unit of the air conditioner has a built-in buzzer for making a wake-up sound, and at the same time, the air outlet of the indoor unit is provided with an infrared sensor according to the product structure, which is used to collect data on human body movements within 0.5 hours before and after the user's alarm setting time. The data collected by the infrared sensor can be transmitted to the controller of the air conditioner in real time to determine whether the user's physiological state is in a sleeping state or a waking state. In the scheme of the present invention, if Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the air conditioner includes: steps S110 to S160.

[0034] At step S110, when the air conditioner is turned on and runs in the current mode, the calendar information is obtained through the communication module, and the wake-up information set by the user for the calendar information is obtained from the user's terminal through the communication module; wherein the wake-up information includes: at least one wake-up date, and the wake-up time of each wake-up date in the at least one wake-up date; the current mode such as the cooling mode or the heating mode, etc., the normal operation mode of the air conditioner, the user's terminal such as a mobile phone, etc. The wake-up date is the date that needs to be woken up among the working days and / or the adjusted holidays in the calendar information.

[0035] At step S120, it is determined whether the current date in the calendar information belongs to the current wake-up date in the at least one wake-up date.

[0036] At step S130, if it is determined that the current date in the calendar information does not belong to the current wake-up date in the at least one wake-up date, the air conditioner continues to be controlled to operate in the current mode.

[0037] At step S140, if it is determined that the current date in the calendar information belongs to the current wake-up date in the at least one wake-up date, a preset wake-up mode is started while continuing to control the air conditioner to run the current mode.

[0038] At step S150, in the wake-up mode, the current time of the air conditioner is obtained (i.e., the current time of the area where the air conditioner is located is obtained), and the physiological state parameters of the user detected by the detection module at a set frequency are obtained (i.e., the physiological state parameters of the user in the environment where the air conditioner is located); wherein the set frequency is, for example, 1 time / min.

[0039] At step S160, the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the current time of the air conditioner, and the physiological state parameters of the user are combined, and the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, and the opening and closing and volume of the sound module are controlled to realize the layer-by-layer wake-up of the user in the sleeping state; under the condition of ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner, the automatic wake-up mode is adaptively turned on and automatically adjusted and controlled, calendar information and wake-up time are received, and the air conditioner is controlled to gradually control the layered wake-up in the sleeping state, so as to use the air conditioner for automatic wake-up; at the same time, the human body activity trends are received according to the infrared sensor to determine whether the human body is awakened, and the air conditioner working mode is automatically adjusted according to the determination result.

[0040] The scheme of the present invention provides a control scheme for an air conditioner with intelligent awakening, which uses the air conditioner to automatically wake up, adaptively turn on the mode and automatically adjust the control. Under the condition of ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner, it can be connected to the Internet to receive calendar information. The user can set the specific wake-up time required at ordinary times through the air conditioner remote control, mobile phone APP, etc., and control the air conditioner to gradually control and realize hierarchical awakening in the sleep state; at the same time, according to the infrared sensor, the human body activity trend is received to determine whether the human body is awakened, and then the air conditioner working mode is automatically adjusted, and the air conditioner is shut down at a scheduled time, which also avoids the situation where the user forgets to turn off the air conditioner when going out in a hurry, thereby realizing energy-saving and comfortable operation of the air conditioner.

[0041] In some embodiments, step S160 combines the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the current time of the air conditioner, and the physiological state parameters of the user, and controls the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, and the opening and closing and volume of the sound module. See the following exemplary description for the specific process.

[0042] Combine the following Figure 2 The method of the present invention is shown as a flow chart of an embodiment of controlling the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, and the start and close and volume of the sound module, further illustrating the specific process of controlling the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, and the start and close and volume of the sound module in step S160, including: steps S210 to S240.

[0043] Step S210, determining whether the current time of the air conditioner reaches the set time before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date; wherein the set time before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date is, for example, 0.5 hours before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date.

[0044] Step S220, if it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner reaches the set time before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner is controlled to decrease; and, based on the physiological state parameters of the user, it is determined whether the user is active within the set time period; of course, if it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner has not reached the set time before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, then while continuing to control the air conditioner to run the current mode, the preset wake-up mode continues to be turned on.

[0045] Step S230: If it is determined that the user is active within the set time period, the air conditioner is controlled to maintain the current operating state.

[0046] Step S240, if it is determined that the user has not been active within the set time, the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit is adjusted, and then the opening and closing and volume of the sound module are controlled according to the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the current time of the air conditioner, and the physiological state parameters of the user, and the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit are continued to be controlled.

[0047] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1 , the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up includes:

[0048] Step 1: Turn on the air conditioner, then proceed to step 2.

[0049] Step 2: The air conditioner receives information through the Internet and determines whether the current date is the date that needs to be awakened: if so, execute step 3; otherwise, the air conditioner operates normally.

[0050] In step 2, the user sets the usual wake-up time, the air conditioner network terminal automatically obtains the information of working days and adjusted holidays, and the internal program automatically configures the wake-up day time information to determine whether the current date is a working day or an adjusted holiday, so as to ensure that the wake-up function is activated on the required date. Among them, the information of working days and adjusted holidays is obtained by connecting with the user terminal (such as a mobile phone) through WIFI wireless communication technology, receiving the user's calendar information, and parsing the information such as "work" and "rest" on the calendar to judge. Automatically configuring the wake-up day time information is specifically: the configuration is that the user sets the wake-up time through the mobile phone APP, which is stored in the local memory of the terminal or the cloud server, and the air conditioner maintains the network function (with WIFI function) to obtain the current working day, weekend, and adjusted holiday information from the specified calendar data source, compares the current date with the obtained working day, adjusted holiday and weekend information, determines the type of the current date, and regularly updates the date information to ensure the accuracy of the data, and then decides whether to start the wake-up function based on the compared date results; the internal program determines whether it is the time to go to work based on the obtained working day and adjusted holiday information. If the current date is a weekday, the air conditioner will automatically configure the wake-up function to start at the user's set wake-up time; if the current date is a holiday, the air conditioner will also configure the wake-up function to start at the user's set wake-up time; if the current date is a weekend, the air conditioner can decide whether to start the wake-up function based on the user's settings.

[0051] Specifically, the air conditioner uses the intelligent networking function and WIFI wireless communication technology to connect with the user's mobile phone and other terminals, automatically receives and parses the user's calendar information, and determines the need to get up on weekdays (including adjusted holidays). Among them, automatically receiving and parsing the user's calendar information specifically means: connecting with the user terminal (such as a mobile phone) through WIFI wireless communication technology to receive the user's calendar information. For the parsing process, the date-related content is extracted according to a specific data format and protocol, such as identifying date marks, workday and rest day marks, etc., in order to accurately obtain the user's daily schedule attributes and provide a basis for subsequent judgment of the need to get up. Judging the need to get up on weekdays (including adjusted holidays) specifically means: by parsing the calendar information, extracting the date mark, the date information such as "shift" and "rest" on the calendar, and judging whether the current date is a day that needs to go to work or school. Among them, the specific data format and protocol can be the ISO 8601 standard / XML / HTTP protocol to represent the date and time, such as:

[0052] {

[0053] "date": "2024-12-07",

[0054] "is_workday": false,

[0055] "is_holiday": true,

[0056] "description": "Weekend"

[0057] }

[0058] Step 3: The infrared sensor is turned on 0.5 hours before the wake-up time, with a detection frequency of 1 time / min, and then step 4 is performed. In the scheme of the present invention, a more comfortable and efficient waking experience is achieved through multiple technical means such as obtaining calendar information through networking, intelligently judging the need to get up, and collecting the user's physiological state.

[0059] Step 4, adjust the wind speed to slightly stimulate the user, and then execute step 5. In the scheme of the present invention, when the air conditioner is running, it adaptively adjusts the working state of the waking time through the information received through the network, providing a good user experience.

[0060] In step 4, preparations are made before the alarm: 0.5 hours before the wake-up time, the air conditioner begins to adjust the wind speed to a low setting to increase the human wind sensation experience and gently stimulate the sleeping body.

[0061] In the scheme of the present invention, when the air conditioner receives the general wake-up time set by the user, the air conditioner will start adjusting the working mode 0.5 hours in advance, so that the human body can transition to light sleep more comfortably. When the alarm setting time is reached, the air conditioner will make a sound and adjust the air flow to wake the user up, and then automatically turn off the air conditioner at a fixed time. The working mode is adjusted specifically by first adjusting the wind speed to increase the human body's wind feeling experience, and then increasing a certain temperature treatment according to the human body's activity state, so that the human body can gradually transition from the sleep state.

[0062] In some embodiments, the physiological state parameters of the user include at least one of the following: whether the user's sleeping position changes, whether the user moves, and the frequency and amplitude of the user's movements when the user moves; the user's activity state includes: a static state, a first activity state, and any one of a second activity state; wherein the movement frequency and amplitude of the first activity state are less than the movement frequency and amplitude of the second activity state; the static state is such as a deep sleep state, the first activity state is such as a state of slight activities such as turning over and adjusting sleeping position, and the second activity state is such as a state of waking up activities such as getting up and walking around.

[0063] The specific process of determining whether the user is in an active state within a set time period according to the physiological state parameters of the user in step S220 is described in the following exemplary embodiment.

[0064] Combine the following Figure 3 The flowchart of an embodiment of determining whether a user is active within a set time period in the method of the present invention further illustrates the specific process of determining whether a user is active within a set time period in step S220, including: steps S310 to S340.

[0065] Step S310, determining whether at least one of the following is satisfied: whether the user's sleeping posture changes within the set time, whether the user moves within the set time, and whether the movement frequency of the user's movement within the set time is less than the set frequency and the movement amplitude is less than the set amplitude.

[0066] Step S320: If it is determined that the sleeping posture of the user has not changed within the set time period, it is determined that the user is in a static state, and it is considered that the user has not been active within the set time period.

[0067] Step S330, if it is determined that the sleeping posture of the user has changed within the set time, it is determined that the user has made movements within the set time, and it is determined that the movement frequency of the user when the user makes movements is less than the set frequency and the movement amplitude is less than the set amplitude, then it is determined that the user is in an active state and is in the first active state.

[0068] Step S340, if it is determined that the user's sleeping posture has changed within the set time, it is determined that the user has made movements within the set time, and it is determined that the movement frequency of the user when the user makes movements is greater than the set frequency and / or the movement amplitude is greater than the set amplitude, then it is determined that the user is in an active state and is in the second active state.

[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up also includes: step 5, the infrared sensor detects for 10 minutes to determine whether there is human activity: if so, keep the air conditioner running in its original operating state; otherwise, execute step 6.

[0070] Among them, the detection of indoor human activity status is specifically: indoor human activity can be roughly divided into static state, deep sleep without moving; slight activity, such as turning over, adjusting sleeping position; obvious activity, large movement, even getting up, walking, etc.

[0071] To determine whether the human body has abnormal activity, specifically: according to the infrared sensor detection, if the infrared radiation detected by the infrared sensor for ten consecutive minutes is very small or almost unchanged compared with the infrared radiation at the previous recording time, it is considered to be a deep sleep in a static state, and further adjustment of the air conditioner is required; if continuous or large fluctuations in infrared radiation are detected, it means that the user is no longer in deep sleep and has transitioned to a sleep state. The air conditioner does not need to make additional temperature adjustments, and the wind feeling state can be maintained.

[0072] In the scheme of the present invention, the detection of the user's awakened state can realize a comfortable waking experience for the human body and the operation optimization and timely shutdown of the air conditioner, thereby realizing energy-saving operation of the air conditioner.

[0073] In some implementations, adjusting the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit in step S240 includes any of the following control situations:

[0074] The first control situation: if the current mode is the cooling mode, the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit is increased by a set value.

[0075] The second control situation: if the current mode is the heating mode, the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit is adjusted down to a set value.

[0076] like Figure 7As shown, the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent awakening also includes: in step 5, continue to prepare for the alarm: 0.5 hours before the wake-up time, the air conditioner starts to adjust the wind speed to a low wind gear, and the infrared sensor detects the indoor human activity status every 1 minute to determine whether the human body has abnormal activity dynamics. If no activity is detected for 10 consecutive minutes, the air conditioner controller will increase the indoor set temperature by 1°C to reduce the human body's comfortable experience of the ambient temperature and further help the human body transition from the sleep state. If there is an activity state, it means that the human body's sleep state has become lighter, and the air conditioner does not make additional adjustments; when the alarm point is reached, the wake-up function is realized.

[0077] The solution of the present invention proposes a control mode for the operation of an indoor unit in an air conditioner, which adaptively adjusts the sound, temperature and wind speed of the indoor unit according to the set time and the heat radiation state of the human body surface, thereby providing the user with a good wake-up experience without affecting the normal air conditioning processing process.

[0078] In some embodiments, in step S240, the sound module is controlled to be turned on and off and the volume is controlled according to the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the current time of the air conditioner, and the physiological state parameters of the user, and the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner and the specific process of the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit are controlled. Please refer to the following exemplary description.

[0079] Combine the following Figure 4 The flowchart of an embodiment of continuing to control the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit in the method of the present invention further illustrates the specific process of continuing to control the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit in step S240, including: step S410 to step S420.

[0080] Step S410: after adjusting the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, determining whether the current time of the air conditioner reaches the wake-up time of the current wake-up date.

[0081] Step S420: If it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner has reached the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the sound module is turned on for wake-up, and the volume of the sound module is controlled to gradually increase within a preset time, and the sound module is turned off after the set wake-up cycle ends; thereafter, according to the physiological state parameters of the user, the opening and closing and volume of the sound module, the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit are continuously controlled. Of course, if it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner has not reached the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the process returns to continue to determine whether the current time of the air conditioner has reached the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, until it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner has reached the wake-up time of the current wake-up date.

[0082] like Figure 7 As shown, the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up also includes:

[0083] Step 6: Adjust the air outlet temperature, then proceed to step 7.

[0084] Step 7: Determine whether the wake-up time has been reached: if so, proceed to step 8; otherwise, return to step 6.

[0085] Step 8: The buzzer is turned on for periodic wake-up, and then step 9 is executed.

[0086] In step 8, when the alarm point is reached to realize the wake-up function, the buzzer in the indoor unit will gradually increase in volume within three minutes.

[0087] When the alarm is reached, the system will start the wake-up function according to the wake-up time set by the user. The volume control module of the buzzer will gradually increase the volume within three minutes, from a relatively soft volume to a volume sufficient to wake people up, that is, from low volume to medium volume to high volume. This gradually increasing design can avoid suddenly disturbing the user with loud noises, so that the user wakes up in a more natural state; in the process of the buzzer gradually increasing the volume, the infrared sensor will continue to detect the human activity status in the room. When the infrared sensor detects that the infrared change of the human body is large and leaves the bed area, the buzzer stops sounding, ensuring that the user will not be disturbed by continuous noise after waking up and starting to move; if the infrared sensor does not detect the activity status of the human body leaving the bed within three minutes, the buzzer will repeat the three-minute wake-up function, that is, the buzzer will start to increase gradually from a lower volume again until the infrared sensor detects the activity status of the human body leaving the bed. This repetitive mechanism can ensure that even if the user does not wake up completely the first time, he can be completely awakened in the subsequent reminders.

[0088] In some embodiments, the physiological state parameter of the user includes at least one of the following: whether the sleeping posture of the user changes, whether the user moves, and the movement frequency and movement amplitude of the user when the user moves. The specific process of continuing to control the opening and closing and volume of the sound module, the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit according to the physiological state parameter of the user in step S420 is shown in the following exemplary description.

[0089] Combine the following Figure 5The method of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 is a flow chart of an embodiment of continuing to control the on / off and volume of the sound module, the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, further illustrating the specific process of continuing to control the on / off and volume of the sound module, the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit in step S420, including: steps S510 to S530.

[0090] Step S510, determining whether the sleeping posture of the user changes within the set time, the user moves, and the movement frequency of the user when the user moves is greater than the set frequency and / or the movement amplitude is greater than the set amplitude.

[0091] Step S520, if it is determined that the condition is not satisfied, it is determined that the user has not left the bed, and the sound module is turned back on for wake-up, and the volume of the sound module is gradually increased within a preset time, and the sound module is turned off again after the set wake-up cycle ends to perform periodic wake-up.

[0092] Step S530, if it is determined that the condition is satisfied, it is determined that the user has left the bed, the current value of the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit is restored to the value before the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit is adjusted, and the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner is maintained at the current value; thereafter, when the current time of the air conditioner reaches the set time after the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the air conditioner is controlled to be turned off. Of course, when the current time of the air conditioner does not reach the set time after the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the current value of the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit continues to be restored to the value before the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit is adjusted, and the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner is maintained at the current value.

[0093] like Figure 7 As shown, the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up also includes:

[0094] Step 9: The infrared sensor detects whether the human body has left the bed: if so, execute step 10; otherwise, return to step 8.

[0095] In step 9, when the alarm point is reached and the wake-up function is implemented, the volume of the buzzer in the indoor unit will gradually increase within three minutes until the infrared detects the activity of a person leaving the bed. If leaving the bed is not detected, the buzzer will be controlled to repeat the wake-up function for three minutes until the infrared detects the activity of a person leaving the bed.

[0096] Step 10: Adjust the air outlet temperature and wind speed, and then proceed to step 11.

[0097] In step 10, when the alarm is reached and the wake-up function is realized, the air conditioner set temperature will drop by 0.5℃, and the wind speed will remain unchanged, creating a more comfortable environment; after the wake-up alarm is processed, when the alarm starts, the air conditioner controller starts the timing function to detect whether the time has reached half an hour, and then the air conditioner automatically turns off to avoid power waste caused by forgetting to turn off the air conditioner due to rushing out. The previous temperature is raised to create an uncomfortable experience of heat, and it is more comfortable to lower the temperature after the human body moves during the wake-up.

[0098] Step 11, determine whether it is 0.5 hours after the wake-up time: if so, turn off the air conditioner, otherwise return to step 10.

[0099] In the scheme of the present invention, a more comfortable and efficient waking up experience is achieved through various technical means such as intelligent networking to receive calendar information, intelligently judge the need to get up, and collect the user's physiological state; by adjusting the working mode in advance, appropriate sound and temperature adjustment, and intelligent alarm post-processing, it can not only improve the user's waking up experience, but also effectively reduce power waste, and achieve an intelligent and comfortable experience of the air conditioner. Among them, the user's physiological state can be divided into static state, light activity state, moderate activity state, heavy activity state, etc. based on the intensity of activity. In the scheme of the present invention, the sleep waking up stage is set. Indoor human body activities are roughly divided into static state, that is, deep sleep that remains motionless; slight activity state, such as turning over, adjusting sleeping posture, etc.; obvious activity state, such as large movement, even getting up, walking, etc. The specific judgment method may be based on the infrared sensor detection. If the infrared radiation detected by the infrared sensor for ten consecutive minutes is very small or almost unchanged compared with the infrared radiation at the previous recording time, it is considered to be a deep sleep in a static state and further adjustment of the air conditioning is required; if continuous or large fluctuations in the infrared radiation changes are detected, it means that the user is no longer in deep sleep and has transitioned to a sleep state. The air conditioner does not need to make additional temperature adjustments and the wind feeling state can be maintained; if the detected part of the bed has no human infrared radiation, it can be judged that the user has obvious activities and has gotten up or left the bed to walk around.

[0100] By adopting the technical solution of this embodiment, when the air conditioner is turned on and runs the current mode, the air conditioner is connected to the user (i.e., user) terminal (such as a mobile phone) to obtain calendar information, parse the weekdays and weekends, and configure the wake-up time set by the user for any wake-up date on the weekdays and weekends; determine whether the current date belongs to the wake-up date: if the current date does not belong to the wake-up date, the air conditioner is operated normally in the current mode; if the current date belongs to the wake-up date, the air conditioner is turned on a human physiological state detection function (such as an infrared sensor detection function) a certain time (such as 0.5h) before the wake-up time, and adjusts environmental parameters to realize a hierarchical wake-up function (such as adjusting the wind speed first and then adjusting the outlet air temperature according to human activity, and then adjusting the wind speed and outlet air temperature again according to whether the human body leaves the bed after the buzzer is turned on), and the air conditioner is controlled to be turned off a certain time after the wake-up time; thereby, by realizing intelligent wake-up when the air conditioner is running, the user experience is improved.

[0101] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a control device for an air conditioner corresponding to the control method for the air conditioner is also provided. Figure 6 The structure diagram of an embodiment of the device of the present invention is shown. The indoor unit of the air conditioner has a communication module (such as a WIFI module), a detection module (such as an infrared sensor), and a sound module (such as a buzzer); the indoor unit of the air conditioner has a built-in buzzer for making a wake-up sound, and at the same time, the air outlet of the indoor unit is provided with an infrared sensor according to the product structure, which is used to collect data on human body movements within 0.5 hours before and after the user's alarm setting time. The data collected by the infrared sensor can be transmitted to the controller of the air conditioner in real time to determine whether the user's physiological state is in a sleeping state or a waking state. In the scheme of the present invention, if Figure 6 As shown, the control device of the air conditioner includes: an acquisition unit 102 and a control unit 104.

[0102] Wherein, the acquisition unit 102 is configured to acquire calendar information through the communication module when the air conditioner is turned on and runs the current mode, and acquire the wake-up information set by the user for the calendar information from the user's terminal through the communication module; wherein the wake-up information includes: at least one wake-up date, and the wake-up time of each wake-up date in the at least one wake-up date. The current mode is a normal operating mode of the air conditioner such as a cooling mode or a heating mode, and the user's terminal is a mobile phone. The wake-up date is the date that needs to be woken up on the working day and / or the adjusted holiday in the calendar information. For the specific functions and processing of the acquisition unit 102, see step S110.

[0103] The control unit 104 is configured to determine whether the current date in the calendar information belongs to the current wake-up date in the at least one wake-up date. The specific function and processing of the control unit 104 refer to step S120.

[0104] The control unit 104 is further configured to continue controlling the air conditioner to operate in the current mode if it is determined that the current date in the calendar information does not belong to the current wake-up date in the at least one wake-up date. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S130.

[0105] The control unit 104 is further configured to start a preset wake-up mode while continuing to control the air conditioner to run the current mode if it is determined that the current date in the calendar information belongs to the current wake-up date in the at least one wake-up date. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S140.

[0106] The control unit 104 is further configured to obtain the current time of the air conditioner (i.e., obtain the current time of the area where the air conditioner is located) in the wake-up mode, and obtain the physiological state parameters of the user detected by the detection module at a set frequency (i.e., the physiological state parameters of the user in the environment where the air conditioner is located); wherein the set frequency is, for example, 1 time / min. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also referred to step S150.

[0107] The control unit 104 is further configured to combine the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the current time of the air conditioner, and the physiological state parameters of the user, and to control the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, and the opening and closing and volume of the sound module to realize the layer-by-layer wake-up of the user in the sleep state; under the state of ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner, adaptively turn on the automatic wake-up mode and automatically adjust the control, receive calendar information and wake-up time, control the air conditioner to gradually control the layered wake-up in the sleep state, so as to use the air conditioner for automatic wake-up; at the same time, according to the infrared sensor, receive the human body activity trend, judge whether the human body is awakened, and automatically adjust the air conditioner working mode according to the judgment result. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S160.

[0108] The scheme of the present invention provides a control scheme for an air conditioner with intelligent awakening, which uses the air conditioner to automatically wake up, adaptively turn on the mode and automatically adjust the control. Under the condition of ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner, it can be connected to the Internet to receive calendar information. The user can set the specific wake-up time required at ordinary times through the air conditioner remote control, mobile phone APP, etc., and control the air conditioner to gradually control and realize hierarchical awakening in the sleep state; at the same time, according to the infrared sensor, the human body activity trend is received to determine whether the human body is awakened, and then the air conditioner working mode is automatically adjusted, and the air conditioner is shut down at a scheduled time, which also avoids the situation where the user forgets to turn off the air conditioner when going out in a hurry, thereby realizing energy-saving and comfortable operation of the air conditioner.

[0109] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 controls the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, and the opening and closing and volume of the sound module in combination with the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the current time of the air conditioner, and the physiological state parameter of the user, including:

[0110] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine whether the current time of the air conditioner reaches a set time before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date; wherein the set time before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date is, for example, 0.5 hours before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also referred to step S210.

[0111] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner to reduce the wind speed of the indoor fan if it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner reaches the set time before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date; and determine whether the user is active within the set time according to the physiological state parameter of the user; of course, if it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner does not reach the set time before the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the preset wake-up mode is continued to be turned on while continuing to control the air conditioner to run the current mode. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S220.

[0112] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the air conditioner to maintain the current operating state if it is determined that the user is active within the set time period. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S230.

[0113] The control unit 104 is further configured to adjust the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit if it is determined that the user has not shown an active state within the set time, and then control the opening and closing and volume of the sound module according to the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the current time of the air conditioner, and the physiological state parameters of the user, and continue to control the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner and the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S240.

[0114] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1 , the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up includes:

[0115] Step 1: Turn on the air conditioner, then proceed to step 2.

[0116] Step 2: The air conditioner receives information through the Internet and determines whether the current date is the date that needs to be awakened: if so, execute step 3; otherwise, the air conditioner operates normally.

[0117] In step 2, the user sets the usual wake-up time, the air conditioner network terminal automatically obtains the information of working days and adjusted holidays, and the internal program automatically configures the wake-up day time information to determine whether the current date is a working day or an adjusted holiday, so as to ensure that the wake-up function is activated on the required date. Among them, the information of working days and adjusted holidays is obtained by connecting with the user terminal (such as a mobile phone) through WIFI wireless communication technology, receiving the user's calendar information, and parsing the information such as "work" and "rest" on the calendar to judge. Automatically configuring the wake-up day time information is specifically: the configuration is that the user sets the wake-up time through the mobile phone APP, which is stored in the local memory of the terminal or the cloud server, and the air conditioner maintains the network function (with WIFI function) to obtain the current working day, weekend, and adjusted holiday information from the specified calendar data source, compares the current date with the obtained working day, adjusted holiday and weekend information, determines the type of the current date, and regularly updates the date information to ensure the accuracy of the data, and then decides whether to start the wake-up function based on the compared date results; the internal program determines whether it is the time to go to work based on the obtained working day and adjusted holiday information. If the current date is a weekday, the air conditioner will automatically configure the wake-up function to start at the user's set wake-up time; if the current date is a holiday, the air conditioner will also configure the wake-up function to start at the user's set wake-up time; if the current date is a weekend, the air conditioner can decide whether to start the wake-up function based on the user's settings.

[0118] Specifically, the air conditioner uses the intelligent networking function and WIFI wireless communication technology to connect with the user's mobile phone and other terminals, automatically receives and parses the user's calendar information, and determines the need to get up on weekdays (including adjusted holidays). Among them, automatically receiving and parsing the user's calendar information specifically means: connecting with the user's terminal (such as a mobile phone) through WIFI wireless communication technology to receive the user's calendar information. For the parsing process, the date-related content is extracted according to a specific data format and protocol, such as identifying date marks, workday and rest day marks, etc., in order to accurately obtain the user's daily schedule attributes and provide a basis for subsequent judgment of the need to get up. To judge the need to get up on weekdays (including adjusted holidays), specifically: by parsing the calendar information, extracting the date mark, the date information such as "shift" and "rest" on the calendar, and judging whether the current date is a day that needs to go to work or school.

[0119] Step 3: The infrared sensor is turned on 0.5 hours before the wake-up time, with a detection frequency of 1 time / min, and then step 4 is performed. In the scheme of the present invention, a more comfortable and efficient waking experience is achieved through multiple technical means such as obtaining calendar information through networking, intelligently judging the need to get up, and collecting the user's physiological state.

[0120] Step 4, adjust the wind speed to slightly stimulate the user, and then execute step 5. In the scheme of the present invention, when the air conditioner is running, it adaptively adjusts the working state of the waking time through the information received through the network, providing a good user experience.

[0121] In step 4, preparations are made before the alarm: 0.5 hours before the wake-up time, the air conditioner begins to adjust the wind speed to a low setting to increase the human wind sensation experience and gently stimulate the sleeping body.

[0122] In the scheme of the present invention, when the air conditioner receives the general wake-up time set by the user, the air conditioner will start adjusting the working mode 0.5 hours in advance, so that the human body can transition to light sleep more comfortably. When the alarm setting time is reached, the air conditioner will make a sound and adjust the air flow to wake the user up, and then automatically turn off the air conditioner at a fixed time. The working mode is adjusted specifically by first adjusting the wind speed to increase the human body's wind feeling experience, and then increasing a certain temperature treatment according to the human body's activity state, so that the human body can gradually transition from the sleep state.

[0123] In some embodiments, the physiological state parameters of the user include at least one of the following: whether the user's sleeping position changes, whether the user moves, and the frequency and amplitude of the user's movements when the user moves; the user's activity state includes: a static state, a first activity state, and any one of a second activity state; wherein the movement frequency and amplitude of the first activity state are less than the movement frequency and amplitude of the second activity state; the static state is such as a deep sleep state, the first activity state is such as a state of slight activities such as turning over and adjusting sleeping position, and the second activity state is such as a state of waking up activities such as getting up and walking around.

[0124] The control unit 104 determines whether the user is in an active state within a set time period according to the physiological state parameters of the user, including:

[0125] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine whether at least one of the following is satisfied: whether the sleeping posture of the user changes within the set time, whether the user moves within the set time, and whether the movement frequency of the user when the user moves within the set time is less than the set frequency and whether the movement amplitude is less than the set amplitude. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also referred to step S310.

[0126] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine that the user is in a static state if the user's sleeping posture has not changed within the set time period, and that the user has not been active within the set time period. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S320.

[0127] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine that the user is in an active state and is in the first active state if it is determined that the user's sleeping posture has changed within the set time, the user has made a movement within the set time, and the movement frequency when the user makes a movement is less than the set frequency and the movement amplitude is less than the set amplitude. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S330.

[0128] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine that the user is in an active state and is in the second active state if it is determined that the user's sleeping posture has changed within the set time, the user has made a movement within the set time, and the movement frequency of the user's movement is greater than the set frequency and / or the movement amplitude is greater than the set amplitude. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S340.

[0129] like Figure 7 As shown, the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up also includes: step 5, the infrared sensor detects for 10 minutes to determine whether there is human activity: if so, keep the air conditioner running in its original operating state; otherwise, execute step 6.

[0130] Among them, the detection of indoor human activity status is specifically: indoor human activity can be roughly divided into static state, deep sleep without moving; slight activity, such as turning over, adjusting sleeping position; obvious activity, large movement, even getting up, walking, etc.

[0131] To determine whether the human body has abnormal activity, specifically: according to the infrared sensor detection, if the infrared radiation detected by the infrared sensor for ten consecutive minutes is very small or almost unchanged compared with the infrared radiation at the previous recording time, it is considered to be a deep sleep in a static state, and further adjustment of the air conditioner is required; if continuous or large fluctuations in infrared radiation are detected, it means that the user is no longer in deep sleep and has transitioned to a sleep state. The air conditioner does not need to make additional temperature adjustments, and the wind feeling state can be maintained.

[0132] In the scheme of the present invention, the detection of the user's awakened state can realize a comfortable waking experience for the human body and the operation optimization and timely shutdown of the air conditioner, thereby realizing energy-saving operation of the air conditioner.

[0133] In some implementations, the control unit 104 adjusts the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, including any of the following control situations:

[0134] The first control scenario: the control unit 104 is further configured to increase the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit by a set value if the current mode is a cooling mode.

[0135] The second control scenario: the control unit 104 is further configured to, if the current mode is the heating mode, adjust the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit to a lower set value.

[0136] like Figure 7 As shown, the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent awakening also includes: in step 5, continue to prepare for the alarm: 0.5 hours before the wake-up time, the air conditioner starts to adjust the wind speed to a low wind gear, and the infrared sensor detects the indoor human activity status every 1 minute to determine whether the human body has abnormal activity dynamics. If no activity is detected for 10 consecutive minutes, the air conditioner controller will increase the indoor set temperature by 1°C to reduce the human body's comfortable experience of the ambient temperature and further help the human body transition from the sleep state. If there is an activity state, it means that the human body's sleep state has become lighter, and the air conditioner does not make additional adjustments; when the alarm point is reached, the wake-up function is realized.

[0137] The solution of the present invention proposes a control mode for the operation of an indoor unit in an air conditioner, which adaptively adjusts the sound, temperature and wind speed of the indoor unit according to the set time and the heat radiation state of the human body surface, thereby providing the user with a good wake-up experience without affecting the normal air conditioning processing process.

[0138] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 controls the on / off and volume of the sound module according to the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, the current time of the air conditioner, and the physiological state parameter of the user, and continues to control the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit, including:

[0139] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine whether the current time of the air conditioner reaches the wake-up time of the current wake-up date after adjusting the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S410.

[0140] The control unit 104 is also specifically configured to, if it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner has reached the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, turn on the sound module for wake-up, control the volume of the sound module to gradually increase within a preset time, and turn off the sound module after the set wake-up cycle ends; thereafter, according to the physiological state parameters of the user, continue to control the opening and closing and volume of the sound module, the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit. Of course, the control unit 104 is also specifically configured to, if it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner has not reached the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, return to continue to determine whether the current time of the air conditioner has reached the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, until it is determined that the current time of the air conditioner has reached the wake-up time of the current wake-up date. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 can also be found in step S420.

[0141] like Figure 7 As shown, the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up also includes:

[0142] Step 6: Adjust the air outlet temperature, then proceed to step 7.

[0143] Step 7: Determine whether the wake-up time has been reached: if so, proceed to step 8; otherwise, return to step 6.

[0144] Step 8: The buzzer is turned on for periodic wake-up, and then step 9 is executed.

[0145] In step 8, when the alarm point is reached to realize the wake-up function, the buzzer in the indoor unit will gradually increase in volume within three minutes.

[0146] When the alarm is reached, the system will start the wake-up function according to the wake-up time set by the user. The volume control module of the buzzer will gradually increase the volume within three minutes, from a relatively soft volume to a volume sufficient to wake people up, that is, from low volume to medium volume to high volume. This gradually increasing design can avoid suddenly disturbing the user with loud noises, so that the user wakes up in a more natural state; in the process of the buzzer gradually increasing the volume, the infrared sensor will continue to detect the human activity status in the room. When the infrared sensor detects that the infrared change of the human body is large and leaves the bed area, the buzzer stops sounding, ensuring that the user will not be disturbed by continuous noise after waking up and starting to move; if the infrared sensor does not detect the activity status of the human body leaving the bed within three minutes, the buzzer will repeat the three-minute wake-up function, that is, the buzzer will start to increase gradually from a lower volume again until the infrared sensor detects the activity status of the human body leaving the bed. This repetitive mechanism can ensure that even if the user does not wake up completely the first time, he can be completely awakened in the subsequent reminders.

[0147] In some embodiments, the physiological state parameter of the user includes at least one of the following: whether the sleeping posture of the user changes, whether the user moves, and the movement frequency and movement amplitude of the user when the user moves. The control unit 104 continues to control the opening and closing and volume of the sound module, the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, and the air outlet temperature of the indoor unit according to the physiological state parameter of the user, including:

[0148] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine whether the user's sleeping posture changes within a set time, the user moves, and the user's movement frequency is greater than the set frequency and / or the movement amplitude is greater than the set amplitude. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S510.

[0149] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine that the user has not left the bed if the condition is not satisfied, return to reopen the sound module for wake-up, control the volume of the sound module to gradually increase within a preset time, and close the sound module after the set wake-up cycle ends to perform periodic wake-up. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are also shown in step S520.

[0150] The control unit 104 is also specifically configured to, if it is determined that the condition is satisfied, determine that the user has left the bed, restore the current value of the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit to the value before adjusting the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit, and maintain the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner at the current value; thereafter, when the current time of the air conditioner reaches the set time after the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, control the air conditioner to turn off. Of course, when the current time of the air conditioner does not reach the set time after the wake-up time of the current wake-up date, continue to restore the current value of the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit to the value before adjusting the outlet air temperature of the indoor unit, and maintain the wind speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner at the current value. For the specific functions and processing of the control unit 104, please refer to step S530.

[0151] like Figure 7 As shown, the control process of using the air conditioner for intelligent wake-up also includes:

[0152] Step 9: The infrared sensor detects whether the human body has left the bed: if so, execute step 10; otherwise, return to step 8.

[0153] In step 9, when the alarm point is reached and the wake-up function is implemented, the volume of the buzzer in the indoor unit will gradually increase within three minutes until the infrared detects the activity of a person leaving the bed. If leaving the bed is not detected, the buzzer will be controlled to repeat the wake-up function for three minutes until the infrared detects the activity of a person leaving the bed.

[0154] Step 10: Adjust the air outlet temperature and wind speed, and then proceed to step 11.

[0155] In step 10, when the alarm point is reached and the wake-up function is implemented, at the same time, the air conditioner set temperature will drop by 0.5°C, and the wind speed will remain unchanged to create a more comfortable environment; after the wake-up alarm is processed, when the alarm starts, the air conditioner controller starts the timing function to detect whether the time has reached half an hour, and then the air conditioner is automatically turned off to avoid power waste caused by forgetting to turn off the air conditioner in a hurry to go out.

[0156] Step 11, determine whether it is 0.5 hours after the wake-up time: if so, turn off the air conditioner, otherwise return to step 10.

[0157] In the scheme of the present invention, a more comfortable and efficient waking up experience is achieved through various technical means such as intelligent networking to receive calendar information, intelligently judge the need to get up, and collect the user's physiological status; by adjusting the working mode in advance, appropriate sound and temperature adjustment, and intelligent alarm post-processing, not only can the user's waking up experience be improved, but also the waste of electricity can be effectively reduced, thereby achieving an intelligent and comfortable experience of the air conditioner.
