Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, specifically to a control method, device, storage medium, and server for a multi-split air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-split air conditioners are air conditioning systems with multiple indoor units. For example, in large office spaces, they consist of multiple ceiling-mounted units, typically spaced apart, working together to manage temperature and air quality throughout the space. However, due to space limitations in office spaces, airflow interference often occurs between the multiple indoor units. For instance, the airflow coverage areas of two indoor units may overlap, leading to uneven airflow and potentially causing localized overcooling.

[0003] Currently, some related technologies involve manually measuring the installation data of cascaded air conditioners during installation and then simply analyzing the data to adjust the airflow. This method usually results in poor adjustment and fails when the indoor unit installation layout is changed. Other related technologies require the indoor units to be arranged according to a specific pattern in advance so that the airflow can be adjusted according to that pattern. However, this method is easily limited by the installation space and cannot be effectively installed and adjusted, also resulting in poor adjustment results.

[0004] Therefore, current multi-split air conditioners have a poor airflow balance control effect, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a control scheme for a multi-split air conditioner, which can effectively improve the airflow balance control effect of the multi-split air conditioner and enhance the user experience.

[0006] The embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] According to one embodiment of this application, a control method for a multi-split air conditioner is provided. The multi-split air conditioner includes multiple indoor units, each indoor unit is equipped with a detector, and the multiple indoor units are connected to a server. The method is applied to the server and includes: acquiring installation data and relative layout data between indoor units detected by the detectors, and acquiring indoor unit characteristic parameters of each indoor unit; analyzing the installation data and relative layout data to obtain indoor units that have airflow interference with each other and their airflow parameters when airflow interference occurs; analyzing the indoor unit characteristic parameters and airflow parameters of the indoor units with airflow interference to obtain balanced airflow control parameters; and sending the balanced airflow control parameters to the indoor units with airflow interference to control them to provide balanced airflow in the space.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the step of analyzing the installation data of the unit and the relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the indoor units that interfere with each other's airflow and the airflow parameters of the indoor units when airflow interference occurs includes: analyzing the installation data of the unit and the relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the relative installation distance and relative installation angle between adjacent indoor units; obtaining the standard distance between adjacent indoor units; identifying adjacent indoor units with a relative installation distance smaller than the standard distance as candidate interfering indoor units; and analyzing the relative installation angle and airflow coverage of the indoor units included in the candidate interfering indoor units to obtain the indoor units that interfere with each other's airflow and the airflow parameters of the indoor units when airflow interference occurs.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, obtaining the standard spacing between adjacent air conditioning indoor units among the plurality of air conditioning indoor units includes: obtaining indoor unit information groups of adjacent air conditioning indoor units among the plurality of air conditioning indoor units from the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each of the air conditioning indoor units; querying the standard spacing matching the indoor unit information groups of the adjacent air conditioning indoor units from a preset spacing table to obtain the standard spacing between adjacent air conditioning indoor units among the plurality of air conditioning indoor units.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the indoor unit characteristic parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit with airflow interference include the indoor unit function and operating status; the indoor unit airflow parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit with airflow interference include the indoor unit installation height and swing angle when airflow interference occurs; the step of analyzing the indoor unit characteristic parameters and the indoor unit airflow parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit with airflow interference to obtain balanced airflow control parameters includes: inputting the indoor unit function, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle when airflow interference occurs of the air conditioner indoor unit with airflow interference into a preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model to obtain the balanced airflow control parameters output by the preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the step of inputting the indoor unit functions, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle when airflow interference occurs into a preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model includes: performing feature encoding processing on the indoor unit functions, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle when airflow interference occurs to obtain multi-dimensional features of each indoor unit; obtaining input features based on the multi-dimensional features of each indoor unit; and inputting the input features into the preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, obtaining input features based on the multi-dimensional features of each indoor air conditioner unit includes: fusing the multi-dimensional features of adjacent indoor air conditioners to obtain multiple sets of fused features; and splicing the multiple sets of fused features to obtain the input features.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, obtaining input features based on the multi-dimensional features of each indoor air conditioner unit includes: acquiring the user location information of the indoor air conditioner unit where airflow interference exists; performing feature encoding processing on the user location information of each indoor air conditioner unit to obtain the user location features corresponding to each indoor air conditioner unit; and fusing the user location features and multi-dimensional features corresponding to each indoor air conditioner unit to obtain the input features.

[0014] According to one embodiment of this application, a control device for a multi-split air conditioner is provided. The multi-split air conditioner includes multiple indoor units, each indoor unit is equipped with a detector, the multiple indoor units are connected to a server, and the device is applied to the server. The device includes: an acquisition module, used to: acquire the installation data and relative layout data between the indoor units detected by the detectors, and acquire the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each indoor unit; a first analysis module, used to: analyze the installation data and relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the indoor units that have airflow interference with each other and the airflow parameters of the indoor units when airflow interference occurs; a second analysis module, used to: analyze the indoor unit characteristic parameters and airflow parameters of the indoor units with airflow interference to obtain balanced airflow control parameters; and a control module, used to: send the balanced airflow control parameters to the indoor units with airflow interference to control the indoor units with airflow interference to provide balanced airflow in the space.

[0015] According to another embodiment of this application, a storage medium stores a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a server's processor, causes the server to perform the methods described in the embodiments of this application.

[0016] According to another embodiment of this application, a server may include: a memory storing a computer program; and a processor reading the computer program stored in the memory to execute the methods described in the embodiments of this application.

[0017] According to another embodiment of this application, a computer program product or computer program includes computer instructions stored in a computer-readable storage medium. A server's processor reads the computer instructions from the computer-readable storage medium and executes the computer instructions, causing the server to perform the methods provided in the various optional implementations described in the embodiments of this application.

[0018] In this embodiment, the multi-split air conditioner includes multiple indoor units, each equipped with a detector. The multiple indoor units are connected to a server. The server can: acquire the installation data and relative layout data of each indoor unit detected by the detector, and acquire the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each indoor unit; analyze the installation data and relative layout data to identify indoor units that interfere with each other's airflow and their airflow parameters; analyze the indoor unit characteristic parameters and airflow parameters of the interfering indoor units to obtain balanced airflow control parameters; and send the balanced airflow control parameters to the interfering indoor units to control them to distribute airflow evenly in the space.

[0019] In this way, detectors are installed in each indoor unit of the multi-split air conditioner to detect the installation data of the unit and the relative layout data between the indoor units. The server analyzes the installation data, the relative layout data between the indoor units, and the characteristic parameters of the indoor units to obtain balanced airflow control parameters. These balanced airflow control parameters can control the indoor units with airflow interference to output air evenly in the space. Therefore, the indoor units of the multi-split air conditioner can be installed according to the actual space conditions, and balanced airflow regulation can be effectively achieved. Overall, this can effectively improve the airflow balance regulation effect of the multi-split air conditioner and enhance the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments provided herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Furthermore, the embodiments provided below are some embodiments for implementing the present disclosure, and not all embodiments for implementing the present disclosure. Unless otherwise specified, the technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented in any combination.

[0027] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this disclosure, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a method or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only the elements expressly described, but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to implementing the method or apparatus.

[0028] For example, the control method for a multi-split air conditioner provided in this disclosure includes a series of steps. However, the control method for a multi-split air conditioner provided in this disclosure is not limited to the steps described. Similarly, the control device for a multi-split air conditioner provided in this disclosure includes a series of units. However, the device provided in this disclosure is not limited to the units explicitly described, but may also include units that need to be set up for obtaining relevant information or processing based on the information.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure.

[0030] It is understood that in the specific implementation of this application, relevant data is involved. When the embodiments in this application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission or consent is required, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant countries and regions.

[0031] Figure 1 The flowchart illustrating a control method for a multi-split air conditioner according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The execution entity of this control method for the multi-split air conditioner can be any server with processing capabilities, such as a cloud server, a physical server, or a server cluster.

[0032] Figure 2 This diagram schematically illustrates the architecture of a control system for a multi-split air conditioner according to one embodiment of this application. (See also...) Figure 2 The control system of a multi-split air conditioner may include a multi-split air conditioner 210, a terminal 220, and a server 230. The multi-split air conditioner 210 may include multiple indoor units 211, each of which may be equipped with a detector 212. The terminal 220 can configure the network for the multi-split air conditioner 210, enabling each indoor unit to establish a connection with the server 230. The terminal may be a mobile phone, tablet, television, or other similar device.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method for this multi-split air conditioner may include steps S110 to S140. The multi-split air conditioner includes multiple indoor units, each equipped with a detector, and each of the multiple indoor units is connected to a server.

[0034] Step S110: Obtain the installation data of each indoor air conditioner unit detected by the detector and the relative layout data between indoor units, and obtain the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each indoor air conditioner unit.

[0035] Step S120: Analyze the installation data of the unit and the relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the indoor units that have air outlet interference with each other among the multiple indoor air conditioning units and the air outlet parameters of the indoor units when there is air outlet interference.

[0036] Step S130: Analyze the indoor unit characteristic parameters and the indoor unit air outlet parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit with air outlet interference to obtain balanced air outlet control parameters;

[0037] Step S140: Send the balanced airflow control parameters to the indoor air conditioning unit with airflow interference to control the indoor air conditioning unit with airflow interference to output air evenly in the space.

[0038] The detectors installed on each of the indoor air conditioning units can be sensors used to detect data such as distance and orientation. These detectors can be ultrasonic sensors or lidar, among others. In one embodiment of this application, the detectors installed on each of the indoor air conditioning units are specifically ultrasonic sensors. These ultrasonic sensors can obtain installation data by detecting signal reflections on surfaces such as walls or floors, and obtain relative layout data between the indoor units through signal interaction between the ultrasonic sensors.

[0039] Each indoor air conditioner unit 211 can detect its own installation data and relative layout data between indoor units through detector 212. Then, each indoor air conditioner unit 211 can directly upload the detected installation data and relative layout data to server 230, or each indoor air conditioner unit 211 can indirectly upload the detected installation data and relative layout data to server 230 through terminal 220. Each indoor air conditioner unit 211 can also directly upload its own indoor unit characteristic parameters to server 230, or upload the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each indoor air conditioner unit 211 to server 230 through terminal 220.

[0040] Therefore, the server can obtain the installation data of each indoor air conditioner unit detected by the detectors, as well as the relative layout data between the indoor units. The server can also obtain the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each indoor air conditioner unit. Specifically, the installation data detected for each indoor air conditioner unit may include data such as installation height and / or distance from the wall. The relative layout data detected for each indoor air conditioner unit may include data such as the relative distance and relative orientation between the indoor air conditioner unit and other adjacent indoor air conditioner units. The indoor unit characteristic parameters may include parameters such as indoor unit model, indoor unit functions (e.g., whether it supports left / right swing, up / down swing, etc.), indoor unit identification, and operating status.

[0041] The server analyzes the local installation data and the relative layout data between indoor units to obtain the indoor units that interfere with each other's airflow, as well as the airflow parameters of these units when airflow interference occurs. Specifically, indoor units with airflow interference can have overlapping airflow coverage areas. The airflow parameters of two indoor units when airflow interference occurs are the operating parameters of those two units. For example, if air conditioner A is positioned slightly upwards and air conditioner B is positioned in the middle, slightly upwards, or at the very top, their airflow coverage will overlap. The operating parameters of air conditioners A and B in this case represent the airflow parameters when airflow interference occurs.

[0042] Furthermore, the server analyzes the indoor unit characteristic parameters and indoor unit air outlet parameters of the air conditioner indoor units where air outlet interference exists, and obtains balanced air outlet control parameters. For example, the server further analyzes the indoor unit air outlet parameters of air conditioner a and air conditioner b when air outlet interference exists, as well as the indoor unit characteristic parameters of air conditioner a and air conditioner b, and obtains balanced air outlet control parameters.

[0043] Balanced airflow control parameters are operating parameters used to control indoor air conditioning units that experience airflow interference, preventing such interference from occurring. The server sends these balanced airflow control parameters to the indoor air conditioning units experiencing airflow interference, which can control the indoor air conditioning units experiencing airflow interference to output air evenly in the space, thereby improving the airflow balance control effect of multi-split air conditioning systems and enhancing the user experience.

[0044] In summary, using the method described in this embodiment, detectors are installed in each indoor unit of the multi-split air conditioner to detect the unit's installation data and the relative layout data between the indoor units. The server analyzes the unit's installation data, the relative layout data between the indoor units, and the indoor unit's characteristic parameters to obtain balanced airflow control parameters. These balanced airflow control parameters can control indoor units with airflow interference to output air evenly in the space. Therefore, each indoor unit in the multi-split air conditioner can be installed according to the actual space conditions, and balanced airflow regulation can be effectively achieved. Overall, this can effectively improve the airflow balance regulation effect of the multi-split air conditioner and enhance the user experience.

[0045] The following description Figure 1 Further optional specific embodiments are provided for each step performed when controlling a multi-split air conditioner in the example implementation.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The analysis based on the installation data and the relative layout data between the indoor units yields the indoor units that interfere with each other's airflow, as well as the airflow parameters of the indoor units when interference occurs. Specifically, this may include:

[0047] Step S310: Analyze the installation data of the unit and the relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the relative installation distance and relative installation angle between adjacent indoor units. Step S320: Obtain the standard distance between adjacent indoor units. Step S330: Identify adjacent indoor units with a relative installation distance smaller than the standard distance as candidate interfering indoor units. Step S340: Analyze the relative installation angle and air outlet coverage of the indoor units included in the candidate interfering indoor units to obtain the indoor units that have air outlet interference with each other and the air outlet parameters of the indoor units when air outlet interference exists.

[0048] The installation data detected for each indoor air conditioner unit may include data such as installation height and / or distance from the wall. The relative layout data detected between indoor units may include data such as the relative distance and relative orientation between each indoor unit and other adjacent indoor units. Therefore, based on the installation data and the relative layout data between indoor units, the relative installation spacing and relative installation angle between adjacent indoor units can be obtained.

[0049] Furthermore, the standard spacing between adjacent indoor units can be obtained. If the relative installation distance between indoor unit 1 and indoor unit 2 is less than the standard spacing between them, it indicates a possibility of airflow interference between them. Adjacent indoor units with a relative installation distance less than the standard spacing are identified as candidate interfering units. Further analysis can then be conducted among these candidate interfering units to determine which units actually experience airflow interference during use.

[0050] Furthermore, by analyzing the relative installation angles and air outlet coverage of the indoor units included in the candidate interfering units, it is possible to accurately obtain the indoor units that have air outlet interference with each other (the air outlet coverage areas of the indoor units will overlap) and the air outlet parameters of the indoor units when air outlet interference exists.

[0051] Furthermore, in one embodiment, obtaining the standard distance between adjacent air conditioning indoor units among the plurality of air conditioning indoor units may specifically include: obtaining indoor unit information groups of adjacent air conditioning indoor units among the plurality of air conditioning indoor units from the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each of the air conditioning indoor units; querying the standard distance matching the indoor unit information groups of the adjacent air conditioning indoor units from a preset distance table to obtain the standard distance between adjacent air conditioning indoor units among the plurality of air conditioning indoor units.

[0052] From the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each indoor unit, obtain the indoor unit information group of adjacent indoor units in multiple indoor units. For example, the model or identifier of indoor unit 1 and indoor unit 2 can be obtained from the indoor unit characteristic parameters of each indoor unit to form the indoor unit information group of indoor unit 1 and indoor unit 2.

[0053] The server can store a preset spacing table, which records the standard spacing corresponding to the indoor unit information groups of different air conditioner indoor unit combinations. From the preset spacing table, the standard spacing matching the indoor unit information groups of adjacent air conditioner indoor units can be queried, thereby obtaining the standard spacing between all adjacent air conditioner indoor units in multiple air conditioner indoor units.

[0054] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the indoor unit characteristic parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit with airflow interference include the indoor unit function and operating status; the indoor unit airflow parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit with airflow interference include the indoor unit installation height and swing angle when airflow interference occurs; the step of analyzing the indoor unit characteristic parameters and the indoor unit airflow parameters of the air conditioner indoor unit with airflow interference to obtain balanced airflow control parameters may include: inputting the indoor unit function, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle when airflow interference occurs of the air conditioner indoor unit with airflow interference into a preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model to obtain the balanced airflow control parameters output by the preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model.

[0055] The preset multi-split air conditioner control model is a pre-trained AI model used to analyze and balance airflow control parameters. For example, a large language model can be fine-tuned and trained to serve as the preset multi-split air conditioner control model, or a convolutional neural network can be trained to serve as the preset multi-split air conditioner control model. It can be understood that the preset multi-split air conditioner control model can also be obtained by training other optional neural network models.

[0056] The indoor unit characteristic parameters of an air conditioner indoor unit experiencing airflow interference include its functions and operating status; the indoor unit airflow parameters include the installation height and swing angle when airflow interference occurs. By inputting the indoor unit functions, operating status, installation height, and swing angle when airflow interference occurs into a preset multi-split air conditioning control model, the balanced airflow control parameters output by the preset multi-split air conditioning control model can be obtained accurately and efficiently.

[0057] In one embodiment, the large language model is fine-tuned and trained to serve as a preset multi-split air conditioning control model. The indoor unit functions, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle when there is airflow interference can be directly input into the preset multi-split air conditioning control model for analysis to obtain the output balanced airflow control parameters.

[0058] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the step of inputting the indoor unit functions, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle when airflow interference occurs into a preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model may include: performing feature encoding processing on the indoor unit functions, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle when airflow interference occurs to obtain multi-dimensional features of each indoor unit; obtaining input features based on the multi-dimensional features of each indoor unit; and inputting the input features into the preset multi-split air conditioning adjustment model.

[0059] The data of the indoor unit of the air conditioner with airflow interference, including its functions, operating status, installation height, and swing angle when airflow interference occurs, are processed through feature encoding to obtain multi-dimensional features for each indoor unit. These multi-dimensional features are feature vectors with multiple dimensions, which can be obtained by using a pre-defined encoding network (such as a convolutional network).

[0060] The input features are obtained based on the multi-dimensional characteristics of each indoor air conditioner unit. These input features are then input into a preset multi-split air conditioner control model, which can analyze the input features and efficiently and accurately output balanced airflow control parameters.

[0061] In one embodiment, obtaining the input features based on the multi-dimensional features of each indoor air conditioner unit may include: fusing the multi-dimensional features of adjacent indoor air conditioners to obtain multiple sets of fused features; and concatenating the multiple sets of fused features to obtain the input features.

[0062] For example, the multi-dimensional features of adjacent indoor air conditioner units 1 and 2 are fused to obtain the first set of fused features, and the multi-dimensional features of adjacent indoor air conditioner units 3 and 4 are fused to obtain the second set of fused features. Then, these multiple sets of fused features are concatenated into a string of features as input features. Since the multi-dimensional features of adjacent indoor air conditioner units are fused separately, this input feature can be more accurately used for parameter analysis when input into the preset multi-split air conditioner control model.

[0063] Furthermore, the multi-dimensional features of adjacent indoor air conditioning units are fused to obtain multiple sets of fused features. Specifically, this can be achieved by obtaining the predetermined usage weight of each indoor unit in adjacent indoor air conditioning units, and then weighting and summing the multi-dimensional features of each indoor unit in adjacent indoor air conditioning units with the predetermined usage weight to obtain the fused features of adjacent indoor air conditioning units. This method of weighted fusion using the predetermined usage weight of each indoor unit in adjacent indoor air conditioning units allows the preset multi-split air conditioning control model to more accurately perform parameter analysis using the input features.

[0064] In one embodiment, obtaining input features based on the multi-dimensional features of each indoor air conditioner unit includes: acquiring the detected user location information of the indoor air conditioner unit with airflow interference; performing feature encoding processing on the detected user location information of each indoor air conditioner unit with airflow interference to obtain the user location features corresponding to each indoor air conditioner unit with airflow interference; and fusing the user location features and multi-dimensional features corresponding to each indoor air conditioner unit with airflow interference to obtain the input features.

[0065] The indoor units of an air conditioner can detect the location information of users in their covered area through infrared sensors and other methods. The detected user location information from each indoor unit is then processed into feature vectors, which serve as the corresponding user location features for each indoor unit. By fusing the user location features and multi-dimensional features from each indoor unit to obtain the input features, the preset multi-split air conditioner control model can use these input features to more rationally and accurately analyze and output balanced airflow control parameters that ensure a balanced airflow control experience.

[0066] Furthermore, fusing the user location features and multi-dimensional features corresponding to each indoor air conditioner unit with airflow interference to obtain the input features may include: adding the user location features and multi-dimensional features corresponding to each indoor air conditioner unit with airflow interference to obtain the superimposed features corresponding to each indoor air conditioner unit with airflow interference; and then concatenating the superimposed features corresponding to each indoor air conditioner unit with airflow interference to obtain the input features.

[0067] To facilitate better implementation of the multi-split air conditioner control method provided in this application embodiment, this application embodiment also provides a multi-split air conditioner control device based on the above-described multi-split air conditioner control method. The meanings of the terms used are the same as in the multi-split air conditioner control method described above, and specific implementation details can be found in the descriptions in the method embodiments.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the first analysis module 420 may be used to: analyze the installation data of the unit and the relative layout data between the indoor units to obtain the relative installation distance and relative installation angle between adjacent indoor units; obtain the standard distance between adjacent indoor units; identify adjacent indoor units with a relative installation distance smaller than the standard distance as candidate interfering indoor units; and analyze the relative installation angle and air outlet coverage of the indoor units included in the candidate interfering indoor units to obtain the indoor units that have air outlet interference with each other and the air outlet parameters of the indoor units when there is air outlet interference.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the second analysis module 430 can be used to: perform feature encoding processing on the indoor unit functions, operating status, indoor unit installation height and swing angle when there is air outlet interference of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, to obtain multi-dimensional features of each indoor unit of the air conditioner; obtain input features based on the multi-dimensional features of each indoor unit of the air conditioner; and input the input features into the preset multi-split air conditioner adjustment model.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the second analysis module 430 can be used to: fuse the multi-dimensional features of adjacent indoor air conditioning units to obtain multiple sets of fused features; and splice the multiple sets of fused features to obtain the input features.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, the second analysis module 430 can be used to: obtain the user location information of the detected air conditioner indoor unit where there is airflow interference; perform feature encoding processing on the user location information detected by each air conditioner indoor unit to obtain the user location features corresponding to each air conditioner indoor unit; and fuse the user location features and multi-dimensional features corresponding to each air conditioner indoor unit to obtain the input features.

[0075] It should be noted that although several modules or units for the device used to perform actions have been mentioned in the detailed description above, this division is not mandatory. In fact, according to the embodiments of this application, the features and functions of two or more modules or units described above can be embodied in one module or unit. Conversely, the features and functions of one module or unit described above can be further divided and embodied by multiple modules or units.

[0076] Furthermore, embodiments of this application also provide a server, such as Figure 5As shown, Figure 5 A block diagram of a server according to an embodiment of this application is shown, specifically:

[0077] The server may include a processor 501 with one or more processing cores and a memory 502 with one or more computer-readable storage media. Those skilled in the art will understand that... Figure 5 The server structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the server and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0078] Specifically, in the embodiments of this application, the processor 501 in the server can load the executable files corresponding to the processes of one or more computer programs into the memory 502 according to instructions, and the processor 501 runs the computer programs stored in the memory 502, thereby realizing the various functions in the foregoing embodiments of this application.
