[0015] Embodiments of the present invention provide an air conditioning control method, an apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium.

[0016] The executor of the air-conditioning control method may be the air-conditioning control device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, or a computer device integrated with the air-conditioning control device, wherein the air-conditioning control device may be implemented in hardware or software, and the computer device may be a terminal or a server. Specifically, the computer device is configured with an air-conditioning control system, in which the air-conditioning control device is deployed, and the air-conditioning control system is used to control multiple air conditioners installed in a target area, wherein the target area includes multiple sub-areas, and different air conditioners are respectively installed in different sub-areas.

[0017] The target area includes a large theme park, park or shopping mall, and different air conditioners are used to adjust the temperature of different sub-areas.

[0018] The air-conditioning control system provided by an embodiment of the present invention also includes cameras and infrared sensors installed in each sub-area respectively. The camera is mainly used to obtain the regional image of the corresponding sub-area, and analyze the crowd trend and crowd density based on the obtained regional image. The infrared sensor is mainly used to detect the ambient temperature of the air conditioner, which is the ambient temperature of the sub-area where the air conditioner is located.

[0019] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the air conditioning control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps S110-S150.

[0020] S110: When it is detected that a target population exists in a target sub-area among the multiple sub-areas, a crowd trend of the target population is determined according to a preset crowd trend algorithm.

[0021] In some embodiments, each sub-area is also equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, which is used to timely detect the crowd entering the sub-area. When the crowd is detected in the sub-area, the regional image of the sub-area is obtained by the camera, and the sub-area is subjected to crowd verification analysis based on the regional image. Specifically, the crowd verification analysis is performed through the following steps. When the ultrasonic sensor detects that the target sub-area enters the crowd, the regional image of the target sub-area is obtained by the camera, and the regional image is subjected to portrait recognition analysis to obtain the number of people in the target sub-area. When the obtained number of people is greater than the threshold value of the number of people, it is determined that there is a crowd in the target sub-area.

[0022] The threshold value of the number of people may be 5, or may be set to other values ​​according to actual needs, and the specific value is not limited in this embodiment.

[0023] Specifically, the crowd trend of the target population is determined by the following steps: obtaining a regional image of the target sub-region through a camera; obtaining coordinates of each person in the target population by analyzing the regional image, wherein the coordinates include a horizontal coordinate and a vertical coordinate; The crowd trend is determined according to the coordinates of each person and the crowd trend algorithm, and the formula of the crowd trend algorithm is: ; Where Trend is the population trend, n is the total number of people in the target population, x i is the horizontal coordinate of the ith person, y i is the ordinate of the i-th person, is the mean value of the horizontal axis of the target population, is the vertical coordinate mean of the target population.

[0024] Specifically, the mean value of the abscissa of the target population is the mean value of the abscissa of each person in the sub-region, and the mean value of the ordinate of the target population is the mean value of the ordinate of each person in the sub-region.

[0025] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the corresponding regional image of the target sub-region. By performing portrait recognition analysis on the regional image, multiple portraits and the coordinates of each person can be obtained. Figure 2 For example, when Trend=1, it means that the crowd's displacement in the x (horizontal axis) and y (vertical axis) directions is completely positively correlated, that is, the crowd presents a specific flow trend (for example, flowing from the lower left corner to the upper right corner); when Trend=−1, it means that the crowd's displacement in the x and y directions is completely negatively correlated, that is, the crowd presents the opposite flow trend (for example, flowing from the lower left corner to the upper left corner or from the lower right corner to the upper right corner). When Trend=0, it means that the crowd's displacement in the x and y directions is not correlated, that is, the crowd's flow has no obvious trend.

[0026] S120: Obtain the crowd density of the target population, and determine the target temperature according to the crowd density.

[0027] Specifically, see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the population density of the target population is determined by the following steps: S1201. Acquire a regional image of the target sub-region through a camera.

[0028] S1202: Acquire the number of people in the target sub-area through the area image.

[0029] S1203: Determine the crowd density according to the number of people and the area of ​​the target sub-area.

[0030] Among them, step S1201 and step S1203 can be executed when performing crowd detection. After obtaining the number of people in the target sub-area, the crowd density is determined by dividing the number of people by the area of ​​the target sub-area, wherein the area areas corresponding to different sub-areas are generally different.

[0031] Specifically, in some embodiments, the target temperature is determined by the following steps: A target density interval corresponding to the crowd density is determined from a plurality of preset density intervals; and a target temperature corresponding to the target density interval is determined according to a correspondence between the preset density intervals and the temperature.

[0032] This embodiment sets different temperatures for different density intervals. For example, when the density interval of the current crowd is detected to be (0.5, 0.8) people / square, the corresponding temperature is 23 degrees, and the density interval is (0.3, 0.5) people / square, the corresponding temperature is 24 degrees.

[0033] The target temperature is the temperature at which the target air conditioner in the current target sub-area currently needs to cool / heat.

[0034] S130: Determine the air conditioners located in a direction corresponding to the crowd trend among the plurality of air conditioners as associated air conditioners.

[0035] Among them, the crowd trend indicates the direction of crowd flow. In this embodiment, the air conditioner located in the direction indicated by the crowd trend of the target air conditioner is determined as an associated air conditioner. Furthermore, since it takes a long time for the crowd to reach the air conditioner that is too far away from the target air conditioner, there is no need to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner that is far away from the target air conditioner. At this time, the air conditioners among the multiple air conditioners that are located in the direction corresponding to the crowd trend and are less than a preset distance from the target air conditioner are determined as associated air conditioners, wherein the preset distance can be 200 meters or other values, which are not limited here.

[0036] S140, determining a target temperature adjustment gradient according to the ambient temperature of each of the associated air conditioners, the target temperature, and the distance between each of the associated air conditioners and a target air conditioner, where the target air conditioner is the air conditioner corresponding to the target sub-area.

[0037] In this embodiment, the target temperature adjustment gradient includes the gradient temperature values ​​of each associated air conditioner. The associated air conditioners can be controlled in advance through the target temperature adjustment gradient to improve customer comfort.

[0038] Specifically, the target temperature adjustment gradient is determined by the following steps: For each of the associated air conditioners, based on a preset temperature gradient calculation formula, the corresponding ambient temperature, the target temperature, and the distance from the target air conditioner, a gradient temperature value corresponding to the associated air conditioner is determined; Determining the target temperature adjustment gradient according to the gradient temperature values ​​respectively corresponding to the associated air conditioners; The temperature gradient calculation formula is: ; Among them, grad T is the gradient temperature value, is the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature, is the distance between the associated air conditioner and the target air conditioner.

[0039] S150: performing temperature control on the target air conditioner and each of the associated air conditioners according to the target temperature and the target temperature adjustment gradient.

[0040] Specifically, see Figure 4 In some embodiments, temperature control is performed by the following steps: S1501. Control the temperature of the target air conditioner according to the target temperature.

[0041] Specifically, the wind speed of the target air conditioner is adjusted to a preset wind speed, which is higher than the default wind speed; the air outlet of the target air conditioner is adjusted to a direction corresponding to the crowd trend; and the temperature of the target air conditioner is adjusted to the target temperature.

[0042] S1502. Determine the gradient temperature values ​​corresponding to each of the associated air conditioners according to the target temperature adjustment gradient.

[0043] S1503: Adjust the temperature of each of the associated air conditioners to the corresponding gradient temperature value.

[0044] Among them, for the associated air conditioner, the default wind speed is used as the air outlet wind speed.

[0045] It should be noted that when a sub-area is affected by the temperature control of multiple groups of people, the temperature with the greatest temperature control impact is used. For example, for a sub-area, the cooling temperature needs to be adjusted to 24 degrees for group A, and for group B, the cooling temperature needs to be adjusted to 26 degrees. 24 degrees has a greater impact on temperature control. At this time, the air-conditioning temperature of the sub-area is adjusted to 24 degrees.

[0046] Furthermore, when the air conditioner in a certain area is started for a preset period of time and is not affected by the current sub-area and the associated sub-area (the area where the crowd trend points to), that is, no crowd is detected in the current sub-area and the nearby sub-areas, at this time, the air conditioner maintains the default rule operation for control or shuts down, where the default rule is a more energy-saving air conditioning rule.

[0047] In some embodiments, the air conditioning control system provided by the present invention also provides a display module, through which the user can view the current crowd density distribution map, flow trend map and air conditioning control status. The user can intuitively understand the current environmental status and air conditioning control effect through the interface.

[0048] Furthermore, the air conditioning control system provided by the present invention also provides a manual adjustment function, and the user can manually adjust the air supply direction, wind speed and temperature of the air conditioner through the interface. For example, the user can manually adjust the temperature or wind speed of a certain area according to the current required comfort requirements.

[0049] Among them, the embodiment of the present invention also saves historical data records: the system can record and display historical crowd density, flow trends and air-conditioning control data, and users can view historical data through the interface to analyze environmental changes and air-conditioning control effects.

[0050] In summary, the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention is applied to an air conditioning control system, the air conditioning control system is used to control multiple air conditioners installed in a target area, the target area includes multiple sub-areas, different air conditioners are installed in different sub-areas, the method includes: when it is detected that there is a target population in a target sub-area among the multiple sub-areas, the crowd trend of the target population is determined according to a preset crowd trend algorithm; the crowd density of the target population is obtained, and the target temperature is determined according to the crowd density; the air conditioners in the multiple air conditioners located in the direction corresponding to the crowd trend are determined as associated air conditioners; according to the ambient temperature of each associated air conditioner, the target temperature and the distance between each associated air conditioner and the target air conditioner, the target temperature adjustment gradient is determined, and the target air conditioner is the air conditioner corresponding to the target sub-area; the target air conditioner and each associated air conditioner are temperature controlled according to the target temperature and the target temperature adjustment gradient. The embodiment of the present invention controls multiple air conditioners in linkage according to the crowd trend and the crowd density, and dynamically adjusts the air conditioner according to the crowd trend, which can reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner and save resources while ensuring comfort.

[0051] Figure 5 is a schematic block diagram of an air conditioning control device 500 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, corresponding to the above air conditioning control method, the present invention also provides an air conditioning control device 500. The air conditioning control device 500 includes a unit for executing the above air conditioning control method. The air conditioning control device 500 is deployed in an air conditioning control system. The air conditioning control system is used to control multiple air conditioners installed in a target area. The target area includes multiple sub-areas, and different air conditioners are installed in different sub-areas. For details, please refer to Figure 5The air conditioning control device 500 includes a first determining unit 501 , a second determining unit 502 , a third determining unit 503 , a fourth determining unit 504 and a control unit 505 .

[0052] The first determining unit 501 is configured to determine the crowd trend of the target population according to a preset crowd trend algorithm when it is detected that a target population exists in a target sub-region among the plurality of sub-regions; In some embodiments, each sub-area is also equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, which is used to timely detect the crowd entering the sub-area. When the crowd is detected in the sub-area, the regional image of the sub-area is obtained by the camera, and the sub-area is subjected to crowd verification analysis based on the regional image. Specifically, the crowd verification analysis is performed through the following steps. When the ultrasonic sensor detects that the target sub-area enters the crowd, the regional image of the target sub-area is obtained by the camera, and the regional image is subjected to portrait recognition analysis to obtain the number of people in the target sub-area. When the obtained number of people is greater than the threshold value of the number of people, it is determined that there is a crowd in the target sub-area.

[0053] The threshold value of the number of people may be 5, or may be set to other values ​​according to actual needs, and the specific value is not limited in this embodiment.

[0054] The second determining unit 502 is used to obtain the crowd density of the target population and determine the target temperature according to the crowd density; A third determining unit 503 is used to determine the air conditioners located in the direction corresponding to the crowd trend among the plurality of air conditioners as associated air conditioners; Among them, the crowd trend indicates the direction of crowd flow. In this embodiment, the air conditioner located in the direction indicated by the crowd trend of the target air conditioner is determined as an associated air conditioner. Furthermore, since it takes a long time for the crowd to reach the air conditioner that is too far away from the target air conditioner, there is no need to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner that is far away from the target air conditioner. At this time, further, the air conditioners among the multiple air conditioners that are located in the direction corresponding to the crowd trend and are less than a preset distance from the target air conditioner are determined as associated air conditioners, wherein the preset distance can be 200 meters or other values, which are not limited here.

[0055] A fourth determining unit 504 is configured to determine a target temperature adjustment gradient according to the ambient temperature of each of the associated air conditioners, the target temperature, and the distance between each of the associated air conditioners and a target air conditioner, where the target air conditioner is the air conditioner corresponding to the target sub-area; In this embodiment, the target temperature adjustment gradient includes the gradient temperature values ​​of each associated air conditioner. The associated air conditioners can be controlled in advance through the target temperature adjustment gradient to improve customer comfort.

[0056] The control unit 505 is used to control the temperature of the target air conditioner and each of the associated air conditioners according to the target temperature and the target temperature adjustment gradient.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first determining unit 501 is specifically configured to: Acquire a regional image of the target sub-region through a camera; Acquire coordinates of each person in the target population by analyzing the regional image, wherein the coordinates include a horizontal coordinate and a vertical coordinate; The crowd trend is determined according to the coordinates of each person and the crowd trend algorithm, and the formula of the crowd trend algorithm is: ; Where Trend is the population trend, n is the total number of people in the target population, x i is the horizontal coordinate of the ith person, y i is the ordinate of the i-th person, is the mean value of the horizontal axis of the target population, is the vertical coordinate mean of the target population.

[0058] In some embodiments, when the second determining unit 502 executes the step of obtaining the crowd density of the target population, it is specifically used to: Acquire a regional image of the target sub-region through a camera; Acquire the number of people in the target sub-area through the area image; The crowd density is determined according to the number of people and the area of ​​the target sub-area.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the number of people in the target sub-region is obtained, the crowd density is determined by dividing the number of people by the area of ​​the target sub-region, wherein different sub-regions generally correspond to different area sizes.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the second determining unit 502 performs the step of determining the target temperature according to the crowd density, it is specifically used to: Determining a target density interval corresponding to the crowd density from a plurality of preset density intervals; According to the preset correspondence relationship between the density range and the temperature, a target temperature corresponding to the target density range is determined.

[0061] This embodiment sets different temperatures for different density intervals. For example, when the density interval of the current crowd is detected to be (0.5, 0.8) people / square, the corresponding temperature is 23 degrees, and the density interval is (0.3, 0.5) people / square, the corresponding temperature is 24 degrees.

[0062] The target temperature is the temperature at which the target air conditioner in the current target sub-area currently needs to cool / heat.

[0063] In some embodiments, the fourth determining unit 504 is specifically configured to: For each of the associated air conditioners, based on a preset temperature gradient calculation formula, the corresponding ambient temperature, the target temperature, and the distance from the target air conditioner, a gradient temperature value corresponding to the associated air conditioner is determined; Determining the target temperature adjustment gradient according to the gradient temperature values ​​respectively corresponding to the associated air conditioners; The temperature gradient calculation formula is: ; Among them, grad T is the gradient temperature value, is the difference between the ambient temperature and the target temperature, is the distance between the associated air conditioner and the target air conditioner.

[0064] In some embodiments, the control unit 505 is specifically configured to: performing temperature control on the target air conditioner according to the target temperature; Determining the gradient temperature values ​​corresponding to each of the associated air conditioners according to the target temperature adjustment gradient; The temperature of each of the associated air conditioners is adjusted to the corresponding gradient temperature value.

[0065] Among them, for the associated air conditioner, the default wind speed is used as the air outlet wind speed.

[0066] It should be noted that when a sub-area is affected by the temperature control of multiple groups of people, the temperature with the greatest temperature control impact is used. For example, for a sub-area, the cooling temperature needs to be adjusted to 24 degrees for group A, and for group B, the cooling temperature needs to be adjusted to 26 degrees. 24 degrees has a greater impact on temperature control. At this time, the air-conditioning temperature of the sub-area is adjusted to 24 degrees.

[0067] In some embodiments, when the control unit 505 performs the step of controlling the temperature of the target air conditioner according to the target temperature, it is specifically used to: Adjusting the wind speed of the target air conditioner to a preset wind speed, wherein the preset wind speed is higher than the default wind speed; Adjusting the air outlet of the target air conditioner to a direction corresponding to the crowd trend; The temperature of the target air conditioner is adjusted to the target temperature.

[0068] Furthermore, when the air conditioner in a certain area is started for a preset period of time and is not affected by the current sub-area and the associated sub-area (the area where the crowd trend points to), that is, no crowd is detected in the current sub-area and the nearby sub-areas, at this time, the air conditioner maintains the default rule operation for control or shuts down, where the default rule is a more energy-saving air conditioning rule.

[0069] In some embodiments, the air conditioning control system provided by the present invention also provides a display module, through which the user can view the current crowd density distribution map, flow trend map and air conditioning control status. The user can intuitively understand the current environmental status and air conditioning control effect through the interface.

[0070] Furthermore, the air conditioning control system provided by the present invention also provides a manual adjustment function, and the user can manually adjust the air supply direction, wind speed and temperature of the air conditioner through the interface. For example, the user can manually adjust the temperature or wind speed of a certain area according to the current required comfort requirements.

[0071] Among them, the embodiment of the present invention also saves historical data records: the system can record and display historical crowd density, flow trends and air-conditioning control data, and users can view historical data through the interface to analyze environmental changes and air-conditioning control effects.

[0072] In summary, the air conditioning control device 500 provided in the embodiment of the present invention controls multiple air conditioners in linkage according to crowd trends and crowd density, and dynamically adjusts the air conditioners according to the crowd trends, which can reduce air conditioning energy consumption and save resources while ensuring comfort.

[0073] It should be noted that technicians in the relevant field can clearly understand that the specific implementation process of the above-mentioned air-conditioning control device and each unit can refer to the corresponding description in the aforementioned method embodiment, and for the convenience and brevity of description, it will not be repeated here.
