[0036] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0037] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the whole house smart home system has attracted more and more attention. The whole house smart home system connects various devices in the home through intelligent technology and Internet technology to form an intelligent control system, which is convenient for managing home devices and environment.

[0038] The central controller is the core device of the whole house smart home system. It plays the role of connecting various devices. Usually, wireless network technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth are used to enable various devices to communicate with each other. The central controller can also realize remote control and management of various devices through interactive methods such as intelligent voice assistants or mobile phone applications.

[0039] Smart home appliances are one of the most important components of the whole house smart home system. It includes various home appliances such as air conditioners, TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, etc., which are connected to the central controller through built-in Wi-Fi modules or Bluetooth modules to achieve remote control and automatic management.

[0040] When there are multiple devices with the same function in a certain space or scene, which device should be selected becomes a problem. In the related art, either the user selects one device or multiple devices are turned on at the same time. The user's selection is not smart enough and not convenient enough, while turning on multiple devices at the same time cannot meet the different needs of users in different scenarios.

[0041] For example, when there are multiple humidification devices in the living room, when there is a need for humidification in the living room, the central controller controls the multiple humidification devices to turn on the humidification function at the same time. Although this can adjust the air humidity in the living room to the target humidity, there is a problem of high noise caused by multiple humidification devices working together.

[0042] Based on this, the present invention provides a multi-device air control method, device and computer-readable storage medium, which obtain the weight value of the preset decision factor in the current scene; obtain the index value of at least one air conditioning device corresponding to the current scene on the preset decision factor; determine the target air conditioning device according to the index value and the weight value; and control the operation of the target air conditioning device. In this way, the present invention selects the target air conditioning device that better meets the needs of the current scene through the preset decision factor of the current scene and the index value of each air conditioning device corresponding to the preset decision factor, and controls the opening of the target air conditioning device. The present invention can achieve the purpose of intelligently selecting and opening the device that meets the needs of the current scene.

[0043] In order to better understand the technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0044] As an implementation method, the hardware environment architecture involved in the multi-device air control method can be as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0045] The control device for multiple devices includes: a processor 101, such as a CPU, a memory 102, and a communication bus 103. The communication bus 103 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components. The processor 102 is used to call an application program to perform a control operation.

[0046] The memory 102 may be a high-speed RAM memory or a stable memory (non-volatile memory), such as a disk memory.

[0047] It can be understood that, in one embodiment, the control program for implementing the control process of the multiple devices is stored in the memory 102 of the control device of the multiple devices, and when the processor 101 calls the control program from the memory 102, the following operations are performed:

[0048] The multi-device air control method comprises the following steps:

[0049] Get the weight value of the preset decision factor in the current scene;

[0050] Obtaining an index value of at least one air conditioning device corresponding to the current scene on the preset decision factor;

[0051] Determining a target air conditioning device according to the index value and the weight value;

[0052] The target air conditioning equipment is controlled to operate.

[0053] Based on the hardware architecture of the above-mentioned multi-device air control method, the following embodiments of the present invention are proposed.

[0054] First embodiment

[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 The multi-device air control method proposed in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S10, obtaining the weight value of the preset decision factor in the current scene.

[0057] The scenario may be to adjust the temperature of the air, or to adjust the humidity and fresh air level of the air. The preset decision factor may be a comfort index, such as human comfort, noise, etc., or an economic index, such as energy saving, etc. It should be noted that the preset decision factor may also be other indexes, such as appearance, etc., or a mixture of multiple indexes.

[0058] For different scenarios, preset decision factors corresponding to the scenarios are preset, and each preset decision factor corresponds to a weight value.

[0059] Optionally, the number of the preset decision factors is at least two, different decision factors correspond to different weight values, and the sum of all weight values ​​is equal to 1.

[0060] For example, for scenario S, the corresponding preset decision factors include: energy saving, comfort, and health, and the corresponding weight values ​​are 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2, respectively.

[0061] For scenario P, the corresponding preset decision factors include: energy saving, comfort, health, appearance, and noise, and the corresponding weight values ​​are 0.4, 0.2, 0.2, 0.1, and 0.1 respectively.

[0062] Step S20: obtaining an index value of at least one air conditioning device corresponding to the current scene on the preset decision factor.

[0063] Each scene can be adjusted by the corresponding air conditioning equipment. For example, the temperature is adjusted by the air conditioner, and the humidity is adjusted by the humidifier, dehumidifier, air conditioner, etc. Each air conditioning equipment also has a corresponding index value on the preset decision factor. For example, an air conditioner has an energy saving index of 0.8, a health index of 0.6, and a comfort index of 0.5.

[0064] Optionally, in some embodiments, the index value of the air conditioning equipment on the preset decision factor is a preset value. That is, the step of obtaining the index value of at least one air conditioning equipment corresponding to the current scene on the preset decision factor includes step S20a, obtaining the preset index value of at least one air conditioning equipment corresponding to the current scene corresponding to the preset decision factor;

[0065] The preset index value is a fixed index value preset according to the model of the air conditioning equipment. In the manufacturing process of air conditioning equipment, the manufacturer can predefine the index value corresponding to each preset decision factor of each air conditioning equipment before leaving the factory. The index value is obtained through experiments in the laboratory, and different models of equipment have different index values.

[0066] Of course, the index value set by the user instruction can also be used as the preset index value. Because different users have different needs, for example, users with different physiques will have different comfort sensations at the same temperature. Some people feel hot while others feel cold. Therefore, users can also set the index value corresponding to each preset decision factor of the air conditioning equipment according to their own needs.

[0067] Optionally, in some other embodiments, the index value of the air conditioning equipment on the preset decision factor is adjusted in real time. That is, the step of obtaining the index value of at least one air conditioning equipment corresponding to the current scene on the preset decision factor includes step S20b, obtaining the current operating state of at least one air conditioning equipment corresponding to the current scene, and determining the index value according to the current operating state.

[0068] In this embodiment, the index value corresponding to each preset decision factor of the air conditioning equipment is determined according to the actual working state of the air conditioning equipment. For example, the index value corresponding to the energy saving of the air conditioner can be determined according to the actual power consumption of the air conditioner itself, and the index value corresponding to the noise of the air conditioner can be determined according to the actual noise value of the air conditioner itself.

[0069] Step S30: determining a target air conditioning device according to the index value and the weight value.

[0070] It can be understood that after obtaining the weight values ​​corresponding to each preset decision factor of the current scene and the index value of each air conditioning equipment on each preset decision factor, the target air conditioning equipment that is more conducive to meeting the needs of this scene can be determined from multiple air conditioning equipment.

[0071] Optional, see Figure 3 , the step of determining the target air conditioning equipment according to the index value and the weight value comprises:

[0072] Step S31, calculating the total score of each air conditioning device according to the index value and weight value corresponding to each preset decision factor;

[0073] Step S32: determine the air conditioning equipment with the largest total score as the target air conditioning equipment.

[0074] After obtaining the weight values ​​corresponding to each preset decision factor of the current scene and the index values ​​of each air conditioning equipment on each preset decision factor, multiply each index value with the corresponding weight value and then add them together to obtain the total score of each air conditioning equipment. The higher the total score, the more conducive it is to meeting the needs of the current scene.

[0075] For example, the air temperature of a space needs to be adjusted to scene S, which is a temperature adjustment scene. The weight values ​​of the preset decision factors corresponding to scene S are energy saving = 0.5, comfort = 0.3, and health = 0.2. There are three air conditioners in the space, namely air conditioner A, air conditioner B, and air conditioner C. The following table shows the corresponding indicator values ​​of these three air conditioners in each preset decision factor.

[0076] Energy saving healthy Comfort Air Conditioner A 0.8 0.6 0.5 Air Conditioner B 0.5 0.8 0.7 Air Conditioning C 0.6 0.7 0.5

[0077] Then, the total score of air conditioner A = 0.5*0.8+0.3*0.6+0.2*0.5=0.68;

[0078] Total score of air conditioner B = 0.5*0.5+0.3*0.8+0.2*0.7=0.63;

[0079] The total score of air conditioner C = 0.5*0.6+0.3*0.7+0.2*0.5=0.61.

[0080] It can be seen that air conditioner A has the largest total score and is determined as the target air conditioning equipment.

[0081] Step S40, controlling the target air conditioning equipment to operate.

[0082] It is understandable that after determining the target air conditioning device, the target air conditioning device is controlled to operate, and the target air conditioning device is the device that is most conducive to meeting the current scene requirements. In the above example, after determining that air conditioner A is the target air conditioning device, air conditioner A is controlled to operate temperature control.

[0083] Second embodiment

[0084] Please refer to Figure 4 This embodiment is based on all the above embodiments, and the step of obtaining the weight value of the preset decision factor in the current scene includes:

[0085] Step S11, receiving a scene control instruction, wherein the scene control instruction includes an air parameter to be controlled; optionally, the air parameter to be controlled includes at least one of air temperature, air humidity, air freshness, and air quality index.

[0086] Step S12, obtaining a preset decision factor corresponding to the air parameter to be controlled, and obtaining a weight value corresponding to the preset decision factor.

[0087] When a scene control instruction is received, the air conditioning scene can be determined by the air control parameters in the scene control instruction. For example, when the scene control instruction is an air temperature adjustment instruction, the air temperature needs to be adjusted by the air conditioning equipment. Each scene can be adjusted by the corresponding air conditioning equipment. For example, the temperature is adjusted by the air conditioner, and the humidity is adjusted by the humidifier, dehumidifier, air conditioner, etc. After determining the current scene according to the scene control instruction, the preset decision factor corresponding to the current scene is removed, and the weight value corresponding to the preset decision factor is obtained.

[0088] Third embodiment

[0089] Please refer to Figure 5 This embodiment is based on all the above embodiments, and before the step of obtaining the index value of at least one air conditioning device corresponding to the current scene on the preset decision factor, it also includes:

[0090] Step S50: determining an air conditioning device corresponding to the current scene and having a function of adjusting the air parameters to be controlled.

[0091] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the activation of each air conditioning device can meet the current scene requirements, and the target air conditioning device is a device that is relatively more conducive to meeting the current scene requirements. The premise of selecting the target air conditioning device from multiple devices is to first determine multiple air conditioning devices. When a scene control instruction is received, the air conditioning scene can be determined by the controlled air parameters in the scene control instruction. For example, when the scene control instruction is an air temperature adjustment instruction, it is necessary to adjust the air temperature through the air conditioning device. At this time, the air conditioning device with temperature adjustment function in the space can be determined, and then the best selection can be made from these air conditioning devices.

[0092] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention also proposes an air control device for multiple devices, which includes a memory, a processor, and a control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the control program is executed by the processor, the steps of the air control method for multiple devices as described above are implemented.

[0094] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a control program is stored. When the control program is executed by a processor, the steps of the multi-device air control method as described above are implemented.

[0095] Since all the technical solutions of all the aforementioned embodiments are adopted when this control program is executed by the processor, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by all the technical solutions of all the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0096] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or system including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or system.

[0098] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the above-mentioned embodiment methods can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method.
