Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0054] Taking air conditioning as an example, the existing directional air supply requires users to turn on the wind sweeping function and then determine the angle of the air guide plate themselves. This requires user operation and the user experience is poor.

[0061] The embodiment of the present application provides a directional air supply control method for an air supply device, in which the air supply device receives a position confirmation command sent by a target terminal and performs air sweeping; then obtains the target time of the maximum air volume recorded by the target terminal, and uses the air supply direction at the target time as the target air supply direction corresponding to the target terminal. Upon receiving the directional air supply command from the target terminal, air is supplied in the target air supply direction. The air supply direction can be determined without user adjustment, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0062] Based on the same inventive concept, Figure 4 As shown, the present application also provides a directional air supply control device 40 for air supply equipment, which is applied to air supply equipment. The air supply control device 40 includes:

[0063] The wind sweep control module 41 is used to receive the position confirmation command sent by the target terminal and perform wind sweep; wherein the wind sweep includes:

[0064] The sweeping range is divided into a preset number of intervals, and the sweeping period is kept in each interval for a preset time.

[0065] The time determination module 42 is used to obtain the target time of the maximum wind volume recorded by the target terminal.

[0066] The direction determination module 43 is used to use the air supply direction at the target moment as the target air supply direction corresponding to the target terminal.

[0067] The air supply control module 44 is used to supply air according to the target air supply direction when receiving a directional air supply command from the target terminal.

[0068] The directional air supply control device for air supply equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application receives a position confirmation command sent by a target terminal and performs air sweeping; then obtains the target time of the maximum air volume recorded by the target terminal, and uses the air supply direction at the target time as the target air supply direction corresponding to the target terminal. Upon receiving the directional air supply command from the target terminal, air is supplied in the target air supply direction. The air supply direction can be determined without user adjustment, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0069] Based on the same inventive concept, Figure 6 As shown, the present application also provides an air supply device 60, including:

[0070] at least one processor 61 and at least one memory 62;

[0071] The memory stores executable instructions of the processor;

[0072] The processor is configured to execute the directional air supply control method for an air supply device applied to an air supply device provided in the above embodiment.

[0073] The air supply device provided in the embodiment of the present application stores executable instructions of the processor in the memory. When the executable instructions are executed, the processor can receive the position confirmation command sent by the target terminal and sweep the air; then obtain the target time of the maximum air volume recorded by the target terminal, and use the air supply direction at the target time as the target air supply direction corresponding to the target terminal. When a directional air supply command is received from the target terminal, air is supplied in the target air supply direction. The air supply direction can be determined without user adjustment, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0074] Based on the same inventive concept, Figure 2 As shown, the present application also provides a directional air supply control method for an air supply device, which is applied to a target terminal, and the method includes:

[0075] S21: responding to the user's air supply command, determining the commands to be sent based on its own state, wherein the commands to be sent include a position confirmation command and a directional air supply command.

[0076] Among them, the state itself is used to indicate whether the sensor has sent a position confirmation command and whether it has moved since the last position confirmation command was sent. If the position confirmation command has not been sent, or if the sensor has moved since the last position confirmation command was sent, the command to be sent is the position confirmation command; if the sensor has not moved since the last position confirmation command was sent, the command to be sent is the directional air supply command.

[0077] Specifically, it is determined whether movement occurs; in one embodiment, it may be input by a user, and in another embodiment, it may be determined by a sensor such as an accelerometer or a gyroscope.

[0078] If no movement occurs, the count is increased by 1 after a pending command is sent to the air supply device once; if movement occurs, the count is cleared; when the count is 0, the pending command is determined to be a position confirmation command; when the count is not 0, the pending command is determined to be a directional sweep command.

[0079] S22: Sending a command to be sent to the air supply device so that the air supply device can supply air to the location of the target terminal.

[0080] When the command to be sent is a position confirmation command, the real-time air volume is detected and the time of each air volume is recorded; the recorded target time of the maximum air volume is sent to the air supply device, and a directional air supply command is sent to the air supply device.

[0081] When the command to be sent is a directional air sweeping command, it is directly sent to the air supply device without the air sweeping device having to re-confirm the position.

[0082] The directional air supply control method applied to the target terminal air supply device provided in the embodiment of the present application can respond to the user's air supply command, determine the command to be sent based on its own state, and send the command to be sent to the air supply device so that the air supply device can supply air to the location of the target terminal.

[0083] Based on the same inventive concept, Figure 5 As shown, the present application also provides a directional air supply control device 50 for air supply equipment, which is applied to a target terminal. The air supply control device 50 includes:

[0084] A command determination module 51 is used to respond to a user's air supply command and determine a command to be sent based on its own state, wherein the command to be sent includes a position confirmation command and a directional air supply command;

[0085] Exemplarily, determining the command to be sent based on the own state includes:

[0086] Determine whether movement occurs;

[0087] If no movement occurs, the count is incremented by 1 after a pending command is sent to the air supply device; if movement occurs, the count is reset to zero;

[0088] When the count is 0, it is determined that the command to be sent is a position confirmation command; when the count is not 0, it is determined that the command to be sent is a directional sweep command.

[0089] The command sending module 52 is used to send a command to be sent to the air supply device so that the air supply device can supply air to the location of the target terminal.

[0090] The detection and recording module 53 is used to detect the real-time wind volume and record the time of each wind volume when the command to be sent is a position confirmation command.

[0091] The time sending module 54 is used to send the recorded target time of the maximum air volume to the air supply device, and send a directional air supply command to the air supply device through the command sending module 52.

[0092] The directional air supply control device applied to the target terminal air supply equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application can respond to the user's air supply command, determine the command to be sent based on its own state, and send the command to be sent to the air supply equipment so that the air supply equipment can supply air to the location of the target terminal.

[0093] Based on the same inventive concept, Figure 7 As shown, the present application also provides a terminal device 70, including:

[0094] at least one processor 71 and at least one memory 72;

[0095] The memory stores executable instructions of the processor;

[0096] The processor is configured to execute the directional air supply control method for an air supply device applied to a target terminal provided in the above embodiment.

[0097] The terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present application stores executable instructions of the processor through a memory. When the executable instructions are executed, the processor can respond to the user's air supply command, determine the command to be sent based on its own state, and send the command to be sent to the air supply device, so that the air supply device can supply air to the location of the target terminal.

[0098] Based on the same inventive concept, Figure 8 As shown, the present application provides an air supply system, comprising:

[0099] The air supply device provided in the above embodiment;

[0100] A terminal device provided by at least one of the above embodiments.

[0101] That is, in this application, the air supply device communicates directly with the terminal device. In another embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, the air supply system also includes a server, and the air supply equipment and the terminal equipment communicate through the server.

[0102] The air supply system provided by the embodiment of the present application, when receiving the position confirmation command sent by the target terminal, the air supply device sweeps the air, then detects the air volume through the target terminal, and feeds back the target time of the detected maximum air volume to the air supply device, and the air supply device determines the target air supply direction corresponding to the target terminal based on the target time, so that when the target terminal sends a directional air supply command, the air supply device can supply air according to the target air supply direction. The present application scheme can automatically determine the target air supply direction through the cooperation between the target terminal and the air supply device, so that the user does not need to determine the air supply direction by himself, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0103] In order to more clearly explain the present application scheme, a specific implementation method is provided below, in which the air supply device is an air conditioner, the terminal device is a distributed sensor, and the air conditioner and the sensor communicate through a server. The distributed sensor has a built-in air volume detection module, a wireless connection module, and a setting module; the wireless connection module is usually a WIFI module or a Bluetooth module, which supports communication with the server. The process is as follows: Figure 3As shown: the user binds the distributed sensor, after binding, the distributed sensor can communicate with the server; the air volume detection module is used to detect the air volume, and the distributed sensor sets the position confirmation operation. The server receives the request and sends a command to the air conditioner. After receiving the command, the air conditioner starts the position confirmation program and performs the sweep confirmation within the sweep range. The air conditioner divides the sweep range into multiple intervals. During the position confirmation, the sweep stays for 3 seconds in each interval. When the sensor detects wind, it records it. When multiple wind volume detections are received, multiple records are recorded, and the largest wind volume detection is told to the server. The server gives this information to the air conditioner, thereby recording the relative position of the air conditioner and the sensor, completing the position confirmation process. When the sensor starts the directional sweep, the sweep time can be set. The air conditioner receives the request and starts to supply air to the position until the set time. After the time is up, it returns to the original sweep mode.

[0104] The implementation steps are as follows:

[0105] 1. Sensor module composition

[0106] (1) Air volume detection module: used to detect air volume.

[0107] (2) Wireless connection module: usually a Wi-Fi module or a Bluetooth module, which supports communication with the server.

[0108] (3) Setting module: used by users to bind distributed sensors. After binding, the distributed sensors can communicate with the server.

[0109] 2. Location Confirmation Process

[0110] (1) Sensor setting position confirmation operation: The user performs position confirmation operation through the setting module.

[0111] (2) Server receives request: The server receives the location confirmation request from the sensor.

[0112] (3) Air conditioner starts the position confirmation program: After receiving the server command, the air conditioner starts the position confirmation program, divides the air sweep range into multiple intervals, and sends the data of each interval to the server, which then sends it to the sensor;

[0113] (4) Zone air sweep confirmation: Each zone air sweep stays for 3 seconds, and the sensor air volume detection module detects the air volume.

[0114] Record air volume detection: When the sensor detects the air volume, record it; when multiple air volume detections are received, record multiple ones and tell the server the largest air volume detection.

[0115] (5) The server records the relative position: The server sends the maximum air volume detection information to the air conditioner, and the air conditioner records the relative position with the sensor to complete the position confirmation process.

[0116] 3. Directional air sweeping process

[0117] (1) Sensor-initiated directional sweep: The user sets the sweep time and location through the setting module.

[0118] (2) The air conditioner receives a request: The air conditioner receives a directional air sweeping request from the server.

[0119] (3) The air conditioner starts to supply air to the location: The air conditioner obtains the information relative to the air conditioner location and starts to supply air to the specified location according to the request.

[0120] (4) End of sweeping time: When the set time is reached, the air conditioner returns to the original sweeping mode.

[0121] Through the above implementation process, the present invention realizes the linkage between distributed sensors and air-conditioning equipment. Users can set the air supply time and position according to actual needs. The air-conditioning equipment can sense the position of the sensor in real time and perform directional air supply, thereby improving the user experience and comfort.

[0122] It should be noted that each sensor is independent and can be moved at will, but after each movement, the position of the sensor needs to be reconfirmed. When the position confirmation process is started, the sensor and the air conditioner must have been connected to the server; illustratively, the sensor can be fixedly installed in a certain position. After confirming the position once, it does not need to be moved. In this way, when the user wants to sweep the wind in a certain direction, the sensor only needs to send a directional sweep command, and does not need to reconfirm the position. However, the actual sensor may move, or the sensor is installed on the remote control. In this way, the position needs to be reconfirmed after moving. In the embodiment of the present application, only one button or command sending position can be set on the sensor. When the user presses it, it is determined whether the command sent is a position confirmation command and a directional sweep command or only a directional sweep command according to its own state. Preferably, a counter and an accelerometer are set inside the sensor. When the sensor sends a position confirmation command, the counter count is not 0. The accelerometer is used to detect whether the sensor moves, and the counter is reset after moving. After being reset, when sending an instruction again, the position needs to be reconfirmed.

[0123] The position of the sensor is set by the user, and there is no limit on the number of sensors, because the air conditioner itself has the function of sweeping air. Adding sensors only allows the air conditioner to better complete the air supply function. For example, if the air conditioner is required to supply air in two directions and for how long, these operations can be set through the sensor.

[0124] In addition, the air conditioner itself also has an air supply function, and the air supply function of the sensor is complementary. When a sensor appears in the server, the air supply request of the sensor is given priority. For example, if the sensor is set to supply air to the sensor for 1 hour, after receiving the instruction from the server, the server sends the instruction to the air conditioner, and the air conditioner stops the existing operation and gives priority to supplying air to the location of the sensor, and supplies air for 1 hour.

[0125] As for multiple sensors in the scene, just follow the above steps. If multiple sensors appear in the scene, linkage may be required. For example, if three sensors appear and the three sensors are connected to the server, the sensors will have specific direction air supply or multi-sensor linkage air supply. Simply put, specific direction air supply means sending air toward a sensor; linkage air supply means formulating specific air supply strategies, the time to stay at each sensor, air sweeping rules, etc. Please note that specific direction air supply and linkage air supply cannot exist at the same time. When there is a conflict, an alarm will be issued.

[0126] The solution of the embodiment of the present application solves the problem that the existing air conditioning equipment cannot provide directional air supply according to user needs. By introducing distributed sensors, users can set the air supply time and position according to actual needs, and the air conditioning equipment can sense the position of the sensor in real time and provide directional air supply, thereby improving the user experience and comfort. Users can set the air supply time and position according to actual needs to achieve personalized air supply. The air conditioning equipment can sense the position of the sensor in real time and provide directional air supply based on the position information of the sensor. Users can set the directional air supply through simple operations without complicated operating steps. Through directional air supply, users can get a more comfortable indoor environment.

[0127] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" refers to at least two.
