[0034] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0035] The embodiment of the present application provides an intelligent air conditioner remote controller, as shown in the figure, which can include: Figure 1

[0036] It includes: a radar sensor assembly, an infrared sensor assembly, a main control MCU, a display screen and an air conditioner control module; wherein,

[0037] The radar sensor assembly includes radar sensors arranged at multiple orientations of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller; any radar sensor is used to emit radio waves to the corresponding detection area, receive the reflection signal at each moment and send it to the main control MCU;

[0038] The infrared sensor assembly includes infrared sensors arranged at multiple orientations of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller; any infrared sensor is used to detect the human infrared radiation information in the corresponding detection area and output the voltage signal at each moment to the main control MCU;

[0039] ​The master MCU is configured to continuously perform a detection process, which includes: at each time point, extracting heartbeat information and breathing information from the reflection signals of each detection area, extracting voltage information from the voltage signal, obtaining samples corresponding to the detection area, and determining the sample category based on the threshold corresponding to each information to represent whether there is a person in the detection area, and determining the personnel measurement result of the working area of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller based on the sample categories of all detection areas at this time point; and based on all samples at multiple time points, training a deep learning model, using the trained deep learning model to obtain the model prediction result of whether there is a person in the working area at the next time point of the multiple time points, and adjusting the threshold corresponding to each information for the next detection process when the model prediction result is inconsistent with the corresponding personnel measurement result.

[0040] The air conditioner control module is configured to control the working state of the air conditioner according to the personnel measurement result.

[0041] The display screen is configured to display the personnel measurement result and air conditioner state information.

[0042] The intelligent air conditioner remote controller of the embodiment of the present application can be adapted to any existing air conditioner, and can be another intelligent remote controller independent of the original remote controller of the air conditioner, which is used to detect whether there is a person in the working area of the air conditioner in real time, so as to control the working state of the air conditioner, such as controlling the opening or closing of the air conditioner.

[0043] Further, the intelligent air conditioner remote controller of the embodiment of the present application can also be realized by improving the original remote controller of the air conditioner, such as by integrating additional modules and corresponding configuration, so that the original remote controller of the air conditioner becomes the intelligent air conditioner remote controller. In this case, the original functions of the original remote controller of the air conditioner remain unchanged, wherein the radar sensor assembly and the infrared sensor assembly are additional integrated modules, and the master MCU, the display screen and the air conditioner control module can be realized by function upgrading through program writing configuration and the like on the corresponding components of the original remote controller of the air conditioner, and the specific process is not described here. Of course, the master MCU and the air conditioner control module can also be additional integrated modules, which are all reasonable. For the original functions of the original remote controller of the air conditioner, please refer to the relevant technical understanding, which is not described below.

[0044] In order to facilitate understanding of the scheme, the following describes each part of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller in the embodiment of the present application.

[0045] Radar sensor assembly:

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, a radar sensor is arranged at each of multiple directions of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller, which together constitute a radar sensor assembly. Each direction corresponds to a detection area.

[0047] The number of the plurality of orientations can be set according to the requirement of detection accuracy, for example, in an optional implementation, the plurality of orientations include front, back, left and right four orientations of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller. Then, the radar sensor located at the front orientation can be at the midpoint position of the front side edge of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller, the radar sensor located at the back orientation can be at the midpoint position of the back side edge of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller, the radar sensor located at the left orientation can be at the midpoint position of the left side edge of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller, and the radar sensor located at the right orientation can be at the midpoint position of the right side edge of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller.

[0048] Each radar sensor is used for detecting the personnel condition in the corresponding detection area. Specifically, the radar sensor can adopt a 24GHz radar sensor, each radar sensor can cover a certain range of detection area, and the radar sensor continuously emits radio waves to the corresponding detection area, receives the reflection signal at each moment and sends it to the master MCU.

[0049] Wherein, the radar sensor emits radio waves with a frequency of f t . When the radio waves meet the moving target (such as the chest or heart of the human body), the frequency of the reflected wave will change due to the movement of the target. This frequency change Δf (Doppler shift) is related to the speed v of the target, which can be expressed as:

[0050]

[0051] Wherein, f t is the frequency of the radar sensor emission signal; v is the relative speed of the target, that is, the fluctuation speed of the chest caused by breathing and heartbeat; c is the speed of light.

[0052] The reflection signal received by the radar sensor at each moment can be represented as a time domain signal, which is a continuous signal for a period of time, and is represented as:

[0053] s(t)=Acos(2*π*(f t +Δf)t+φ);

[0054] Wherein, A is the amplitude; φ is the initial phase.

[0055] Infrared sensor assembly:

[0056] In the embodiment of the application, one infrared sensor is arranged in each of the plurality of orientations corresponding to the radar sensors, to form an infrared sensor assembly. Each orientation corresponds to a detection area.

[0057] In the embodiment of the application, for each orientation, the positions of the radar sensor and the infrared sensor can be reasonably set to ensure that both of them can achieve good detection on the same detection area.

[0058] The infrared sensor can adopt a pyroelectric infrared sensor to detect the presence of a human body by detecting infrared radiation emitted by the human body. The surface temperature of a human body is usually around 37°C, which emits infrared radiation with a peak wavelength of about 10 microns. When a person enters the detection area of the infrared sensor, the infrared radiation of the human body causes a temperature change in the pyroelectric material inside the infrared sensor, thereby generating an electric charge. The pyroelectric formula is as follows:

[0059] Q = p * S * ΔT;

[0060] Where Q is the generated electric charge; p is the pyroelectric coefficient (related to the material); S is the effective area of the infrared sensor; and ΔT is the temperature change. The electric charge is converted into a voltage signal by a circuit and transmitted to the host MCU for processing.

[0061] Host MCU:

[0062] The host MCU continuously performs detection processes, and the following describes any detection process.

[0063] At any given time, heartbeat information and breathing information are extracted from the reflection signals of each detection area, including:

[0064] At this time, for each detection area corresponding to a direction, the reflection signals from the radar sensor of the detection area are preprocessed, and heartbeat information and breathing information are extracted from the preprocessed signals.

[0065] In an optional implementation, the preprocessing of the reflection signals from the radar sensor of the detection area includes:

[0066] The reflection signals from the radar sensor of the detection area are sequentially subjected to mean filter denoising processing, linear interpolation processing, and time-frequency conversion processing to obtain preprocessed signals.

[0067] Specifically, mean filter denoising processing smoothes data by calculating the average value of all points in the neighborhood through mean filter, thereby reducing the influence of noise.

[0068] The reflection signals from the radar sensor are s(t), and the data after mean filter denoising processing is y(t). The window size is 2*k+1, then:

[0069]

[0070] Where s(t) represents the reflection signal received at time t. Mean filter denoising processing is described in related technical understanding and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] Then a linear interpolation method is used to insert a data point between two adjacent points, and the formula is as follows:

[0072]

[0073] Wherein, y'(t) is the value corresponding to the interpolation point, t is the independent variable value of the interpolation point, t1 and t2 are the independent variable values of the adjacent two points.

[0074] Then the interpolation point set is combined with the original data set into a data set z(t). Through interpolation, the data quantity can be expanded, thereby increasing the training set scale of subsequent model training, which is beneficial to improve the training accuracy.

[0075] For z(t), the time-frequency conversion processing is Fourier transform, so that the time domain signal z(t) is converted into a frequency domain signal Z(f), which is expressed as:

[0076] Z(f) = F{z(t)};

[0077] Wherein, F{} represents Fourier transform.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the heartbeat information and the breathing information are extracted from the preprocessed signal, including:

[0079] In the frequency range of the preprocessed signal, the frequency corresponding to the peak point in the preset heartbeat frequency range is determined as the heartbeat information, and the frequency corresponding to the peak point in the preset breathing frequency range is determined as the breathing information.

[0080] Specifically, Z(f) is the frequency domain representation of z(t) at each time, the heartbeat frequency is usually 1-2Hz, and this range is the preset heartbeat frequency range. The breathing frequency is usually 0.1-0.5Hz, and this range is the preset breathing frequency range.

[0081] The peak value in the preset heartbeat frequency range in the frequency range of the preprocessed signal can be found to obtain the heartbeat information, and the peak value in the preset breathing frequency range can be found to obtain the breathing information.

[0082] For the infrared signal, mainly consider the voltage change of the infrared sensor, the voltage and temperature change relationship is as follows:

[0083] V(t) = δ * ΔT(t);

[0084] Wherein, V(t) is the voltage information extracted from the voltage signal at time t, δ is the sensitivity coefficient of the infrared sensor, and ΔT(t) is the temperature change at time t. When the human body exists, the temperature change ΔT(t) will produce significant voltage fluctuation.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, at each moment, the sample of any detection area includes the heartbeat information, the breathing information and the voltage information extracted from the detection area. Therefore, it can be understood that for the four orientations of the above example, at each moment, each orientation obtains a sample, and a total of four samples are obtained.

[0086] For the master MCU, the threshold value corresponding to the extracted information is used to determine the sample category to represent whether there is a person in the corresponding detection area, including:

[0087] At this moment, for each detection area, it is determined whether the sample of the detection area satisfies: the corresponding heartbeat information is greater than the heartbeat threshold value, the corresponding breathing information is greater than the breathing threshold value, and the corresponding voltage information is greater than the voltage threshold value; if it is satisfied, it is determined that the sample category of the detection area is a person; otherwise, it is determined that the sample category of the detection area is no person.

[0088] The heartbeat threshold value, the breathing threshold value and the voltage threshold value are determined by a large amount of data and pre-experiment. The heartbeat threshold value can be represented by H th , the breathing threshold value can be represented by B th , and the voltage threshold value can be represented by V th . Only when the heartbeat information, the breathing information and the voltage information corresponding to the detection area are all greater than the corresponding threshold value, it is determined that there is a person in the detection area, and then the sample category of the detection area is determined to be a person.

[0089] For each sample, the category of each information in the sample is the sample category after the sample category is determined.

[0090] As described above, at each moment, each detection area can obtain a sample and determine the sample category. Therefore, for the moment, the personnel measurement result of the working area of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller can be determined according to the sample categories of all detection areas at the moment, and the process includes:

[0091] If the sample category of a detection area at the moment is a person, it is determined that the category result of the working area of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller at the moment is a person, otherwise, it is determined that the category result of the working area at the moment is no person.

[0092] If all category results within the preset time period up to the moment are a person, it is determined that the personnel measurement result of the working area is a person, otherwise, it is determined that the personnel measurement result of the working area is no person.

[0093] Therefore, through the above determination, the personnel measurement result of the working area can be obtained at each moment, and the master MCU will send it to the air conditioner control module and the display screen.

[0094] Because each time the host MCU will obtain the samples of each detection area and the sample category, after accumulating multiple times, the host MCU can train a deep learning model based on all samples of multiple times, and use the trained deep learning model to obtain the next time of the multiple times, whether the working area has a model prediction result of a person.

[0095] Specifically, the process can include the following steps:

[0096] 1) For the accumulated multiple times of all detection area samples, a plurality of training sets are constructed by random sampling with replacement, and a deep learning model is trained using the plurality of training sets and the category labels of each sample therein;

[0097] Among them, the deep learning model includes a random forest deep learning model, which is described in detail below.

[0098] First, the accumulated multiple times of all detection area samples can constitute an original data set, wherein each sample is the heartbeat information, respiratory information and voltage information extracted from a detection area at a time, and carries the corresponding category, i.e. sample category.

[0099] The sample information extracted from the radar signal and the infrared signal is grouped according to a set of I sample data sets, i.e. three kinds of information are grouped, and J training sets are generated by random sampling with replacement, and the size of each training set is also I. The probability of each sample being selected in one sampling is 1 / I, and the probability of not being selected is (I-1) / I. After I times of sampling, the probability of a sample not being selected is:

[0100]

[0101] At each split node of each tree of the random forest deep learning model, not all features (the category of the feature is three, including respiratory information, heartbeat information and voltage information) are considered, but a part of the features are randomly selected, and the randomly selected features are used to extract a subset from the data set (each feature information carries the corresponding category) for training. For example, it is possible to randomly select "heartbeat information" and "voltage information" to consider the split. Then let each tree grow as much as possible until there are no more features available for splitting. When all trees are constructed, they can be used to predict the next time result (whether the working area has a person), and the prediction results of all trees are integrated, such as 60 trees predicting "yes" and 40 trees predicting "no", and the final prediction result is "yes".

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the random forest deep learning model predicts by constructing multiple decision trees, each tree is trained using a subset of data and a subset of features, and the number of trees, maximum depth, minimum sample size and other parameters are adjusted through cross-validation and grid search method to find the optimal parameter combination, which can improve the accuracy of judgment.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the training process of the random forest deep learning model can be understood in combination with the existing random forest deep learning model training process.

[0104] 2) Obtain the input data of the next moment of the plurality of moments, and input into the trained deep learning model to obtain the model prediction result, the model prediction result is used to represent whether there is a person in the working area of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller;

[0105] The input data includes heartbeat information, breathing information and voltage information extracted from all detection areas at the next moment.

[0106] The model prediction result of the next moment is compared with the actual measurement result of the person at the next moment, and when the two are inconsistent, the threshold values corresponding to the heartbeat information, breathing information and voltage information are adjusted to determine whether there is a person in the detection area in the next detection process. At the same time, the actual measurement result of the person at the next moment is also added to the original data set to continue to be used for prediction.

[0107] Air conditioner control module:

[0108] The air conditioner control module controls the working state of the air conditioner according to the actual measurement result of the person, and the process can include:

[0109] If the air conditioner control module receives the actual measurement result of the person in the working area within a first preset time, a first type of binary instruction code is generated, and after the first type of binary instruction code is modulated, the infrared communication module built-in the intelligent air conditioner remote controller is used to send the air conditioner to control the air conditioner to start;

[0110] If the air conditioner control module receives the actual measurement result of the person in the working area within a second preset time, a second type of binary instruction code is generated, and after the second type of binary instruction code is modulated, the infrared communication module built-in the intelligent air conditioner remote controller is used to send the air conditioner to control the air conditioner to start.

[0111] Specifically, since false detection is avoided while power consumption caused by frequent switching of the air conditioner is reduced, the embodiment of the present application sets a first preset time length for turning on the air conditioner and a second preset time length for turning off the air conditioner, and only controls the air conditioner to be turned on when the actual measurement results of the personnel all indicate that there is a person in the working area within the first preset time length, and only controls the air conditioner to be turned on when the actual measurement results of the personnel all indicate that there is no person in the working area within the second preset time length. The first preset time length and the second preset time length can be set according to actual needs, for example, the first preset time length can be 10 minutes and the second preset time length can be 30 minutes.

[0112] The binary instruction code is composed of binary data, and the modulation of the second type of binary instruction code can be pulse width modulation of the carrier signal and the binary instruction code to obtain a modulated signal. This process can be understood in related technologies and will not be described here.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, the infrared communication module built-in the intelligent air conditioner remote controller is designed to be compatible with air conditioners of various manufacturers, so that the purpose of controlling the working state by communicating with all air conditioners on the market can be achieved.

[0114] Specifically, the infrared communication module can be an infrared light-emitting diode, which emits the modulated signal towards the air conditioner, so that the infrared receiver of the air conditioner can receive it to realize turning on or off of the air conditioner.

[0115] Display screen:

[0116] The display screen can be a liquid crystal screen, on which the actual measurement results of the personnel and the air conditioner state information can be displayed. The air conditioner state information can include working parameters such as on-off state, working mode, temperature, wind force level, wind speed, wind direction, and the power saved by the intelligent air conditioner remote controller for the air conditioner.

[0117] Among them, the working parameters can be various parameters usually displayed on the display screen of the original remote controller of the air conditioner. If the intelligent air conditioner remote controller is independent of the original remote controller of the air conditioner, it can communicate with the air conditioner through the infrared communication module to obtain the above-mentioned working parameters. If the intelligent air conditioner remote controller is realized by integrating and improving the original remote controller of the air conditioner, its display screen can also obtain the above-mentioned working parameters. The specific process can be understood in related technologies and will not be described here.

[0118] Compared with the parameters displayed on the display screen of the traditional remote controller, the embodiment of the present application can display the power saved by the intelligent air conditioner remote controller for the air conditioner. This part of data can be obtained by multiplying the unit power consumption of the air conditioner in the on state and the off time of the air conditioner under the control of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller.

[0119] The working process of the intelligent air conditioner remote controller of the embodiment of the present application can be understood in Figure 2It is understood that the tagged data refers to determining the sample category, and the parameter optimization refers to adjusting the threshold value, and the remaining parts are no longer described one by one.

[0120] The application provides an intelligent air conditioner remote controller based on deep learning, which embeds a radar sensor and an infrared sensor in the remote controller, combines the detection of the presence of a human body to control the air conditioner, and the combination of the radar sensor and the infrared sensor can improve the accuracy of personnel detection, thereby improving the accuracy of the control of the working state of the air conditioner. At the same time, the application trains a random forest model to predict the presence of a human being at the next moment, compares it with the actual detection result to dynamically adjust the threshold value for judgment, and can improve the recognition rate of the presence of a human body. Compared with the radar sensor alone, the application can reduce the misjudgment; by automatically detecting the activity of the personnel in the room, the automatic on-off control of the air conditioner is realized, energy waste can be avoided, and user experience can be improved; and the degree of automation is high, the user does not need to operate frequently, the energy use efficiency can be improved, unnecessary power consumption can be reduced, and the application is convenient to install and use, can be compatible with existing air conditioner equipment, and has practical value.
