Without user adjustment, the air supply direction can be determined, and user experience is greatly improved.

[0062] Based on the same inventive concept, as shown in Figure 4 The application further provides an air supply equipment directional air supply control device 40 applied to air supply equipment, the air supply control device 40 comprises:

[0064] The air sweeping range is divided into a preset number of intervals, and the air sweeping is performed by staying in each interval for a preset time length.

[0065] A time determination module 42 is configured to acquire a target time of maximum air volume recorded by the target terminal.

[0066] A direction determination module 43 is configured to take an air supply direction of the target time as a target air supply direction corresponding to the target terminal.

[0067] An air supply control module 44 is configured to, when receiving a directional air supply command of the target terminal, perform air supply according to the target air supply direction.

[0068] The air supply equipment directional air supply control device provided by the embodiment of the application receives a position confirmation command sent by a target terminal and performs air sweeping, then acquires a target time of maximum air volume recorded by the target terminal, takes an air supply direction of the target time as a target air supply direction corresponding to the target terminal, and when receiving a directional air supply command of the target terminal, performs air supply according to the target air supply direction. Without user adjustment, the air supply direction can be determined, and user experience is greatly improved.

[0069] Based on the same inventive concept, as shown in Figure 6 The application further provides an air supply equipment 60, which comprises:

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

[0072] The processor is configured to perform the air supply device directional air supply control method provided by the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0073] The air supply device provided by the embodiments of the present application stores the executable instructions of the processor in the memory, and when the executable instructions are executed, the processor can receive the position confirmation command sent by the target terminal and perform air sweeping; then the target time of the maximum air volume recorded by the target terminal is obtained, and the air supply direction of the target time is taken as the target air supply direction corresponding to the target terminal. When the directional air supply command of the target terminal is received, air supply is performed according to the target air supply direction. Without user adjustment, the air supply direction can be determined, greatly improving the user experience.

[0074] Based on the same inventive concept, as Figure 2 The present application further provides an air supply device directional air supply control method, applied to a target terminal, the method comprising:

[0075] S21: in response to a user air supply command, determining a to-be-sent command based on the state of the target terminal, the to-be-sent command comprising a position confirmation command and a directional air supply command.

[0076] Wherein, the state of the target terminal is used to represent whether the sensor has sent a position confirmation command and whether it has moved since the last time a position confirmation command was sent. When no position confirmation command has been sent, or when a movement has been made since the last time a position confirmation command was sent, the to-be-sent command is a position confirmation command; if no movement has been made since the last time a position confirmation command was sent, the to-be-sent command is a directional air supply command.

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

[0078] If no movement has occurred, the count is incremented by 1 when the to-be-sent command is sent to the air supply device once; if a movement has occurred, the count is reset to zero; when the count is 0, the to-be-sent command is determined to be a position confirmation command; when the count is not 0, the to-be-sent command is determined to be a directional air supply command.

[0079] S22: sending the to-be-sent command to the air supply device, so that the air supply device can supply air to the position of the target terminal.

[0081] When the to-be-sent command is a directional air-sweeping command, the air-sweeping device is directly sent. The air-sweeping device does not need to reconfirm the position.

[0082] The application embodiment provides an air-sweeping control method applied to a target terminal air-sweeping device, which can respond to a user air-sweeping command, determine a to-be-sent command based on a state of the target terminal, and send the to-be-sent command to the air-sweeping device, so that the air-sweeping device can air-sweep to a position of the target terminal.

[0083] Based on the same inventive concept, as shown in Figure 5 The application further provides an air-sweeping control device 50 applied to a target terminal, which comprises:

[0084] A command determination module 51 is configured to respond to a user air-sweeping command, determine a to-be-sent command based on a state of the target terminal, and the to-be-sent command comprises a position confirmation command and a directional air-sweeping command.

[0085] For example, the to-be-sent command is determined based on the state of the target terminal, which comprises:

[0086] It is determined whether the target terminal moves or not;

[0087] If the target terminal does not move, the count is increased by 1 after the to-be-sent command is sent to the air-sweeping device once, and if the target terminal moves, the count is cleared.

[0088] When the count is 0, it is determined that the to-be-sent command is the position confirmation command, and when the count is not 0, it is determined that the to-be-sent command is the directional air-sweeping command.

[0089] A command sending module 52 is configured to send the to-be-sent command to the air-sweeping device, so that the air-sweeping device can air-sweep to the position of the target terminal.

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

[0091] A time sending module 54 is configured to send a target time of a maximum air volume recorded to the air-sweeping device, and send a directional air-sweeping command to the air-sweeping device through the command sending module 52.

[0092] The application embodiment provides an air-sweeping control device applied to a target terminal air-sweeping device, which can respond to a user air-sweeping command, determine a to-be-sent command based on a state of the target terminal, and send the to-be-sent command to the air-sweeping device, so that the air-sweeping device can air-sweep to a position of the target terminal.

[0093] Based on the same inventive concept, as shown in Figure 7 The application further provides a terminal device 70, which comprises:

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

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

[0096] The processor is configured to execute the air supply device directional air supply control method applied to the target terminal provided by the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0097] The terminal device provided by the embodiments of the present application stores executable instructions of the processor through the memory, and when the executable instructions are executed, the processor can determine a to-be-sent command based on a state of itself in response to a user air supply command, and send the to-be-sent command to the air supply device, so that the air supply device can supply air to a location where the target terminal is located.

[0098] Based on the same inventive concept, as Figure 8 The present application provides an air supply system, which comprises:

[0099] The air supply device provided by the above-mentioned embodiments;

[0100] At least one terminal device provided by the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0101] That is, the air supply device and the terminal device directly communicate with each other in the present application. In another embodiment, as Figure 9 The air supply system further comprises a server, and the air supply device and the terminal device communicate through the server.

[0102] The air supply system provided by the embodiments of the present application can automatically determine the target air supply direction through the cooperation of the target terminal and the air supply device when the position confirmation command sent by the target terminal is received, the air supply device performs air sweeping, then the target terminal detects the air volume, and feeds back the target time of the maximum air volume detected 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 the air supply device can supply air according to the target air supply direction when the target terminal sends the directional air supply command. The present application scheme can automatically determine the target air supply direction through the cooperation of the target terminal and the air supply device, so that the user does not need to determine the air supply direction by himself / herself, and the user experience is greatly improved.

[0103] In order to more clearly illustrate the present application scheme, a specific implementation manner 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 is internally provided with an 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, and supports communication with the server, and the process is as shown in Figure 3The setting module is used for user binding of the distributed sensor. After binding, the distributed sensor can communicate with the server. The air volume detection module is used for detecting air volume. The server receives a request, sends an instruction to the air conditioner, and the air conditioner receives the instruction, starts a position confirmation program, and confirms the air in the air sweeping range. The air conditioner divides the air sweeping range into multiple intervals, and the position confirmation program sweeps the air in each interval for 3 seconds. When the sensor air volume detection module detects air, it is recorded. When multiple air volume detections are received, multiple records are recorded, and the maximum air volume detection is sent to the server. The server sends the information to the air conditioner, thereby recording the relative position of the air conditioner and the sensor, and completing the position confirmation process. When the sensor starts directional air sweeping, the air sweeping time can be set. The air conditioner receives the request, starts to send air to the position, and continues until the set time. After the time, it returns to the original air sweeping mode.

[0104] The implementation steps are as follows:

[0105] I. Sensor module composition

[0106] (1) Air volume detection module: used for detecting air volume.

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

[0108] (3) Setting module: used for user binding of the distributed sensor. After binding, the distributed sensor can communicate with the server.

[0109] II. Position confirmation process

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

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

[0112] (3) Air conditioner starts position confirmation program: the air conditioner receives the server instruction, starts the position confirmation program, divides the air sweeping range into multiple intervals, and sends the data of each interval to the server.

[0113] (4) Interval air sweeping confirmation: each interval sweeps the air for 3 seconds, and the sensor air volume detection module detects the air volume.

[0114] Record air volume detection: when the sensor detects air volume, it is recorded. When multiple air volume detections are received, multiple records are recorded, and the maximum air volume detection is sent to the server.

[0115] (5) Server records relative position: the server sends the maximum air volume detection information to the air conditioner, and the air conditioner records the relative position of the sensor, thereby completing the position confirmation process.

[0116] III. Directional air sweeping process

[0117] (1) Sensor starts directional air sweeping: the user sets the air sweeping time and position through the setting module.

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

[0119] (3) Air conditioner starts blowing air to the position: the air conditioner obtains the information about the relative position of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner starts blowing air to the specified position according to the request.

[0120] (4) Air sweeping time ends: after reaching the set time, the air conditioner returns to the original air sweeping mode.

[0121] Through the above implementation process, the present application realizes the linkage of distributed sensors and air conditioning equipment, the user can set the air blowing time and position according to the actual demand, and the air conditioning equipment can sense the position of the sensor in real time and perform directional air blowing, thereby improving the user experience and comfort.

[0122] It should be noted that each sensor is independent, and the sensor can be moved at will, but the position of the sensor needs to be reconfirmed after each movement. When the position confirmation process is started, the sensor and the air conditioner must have been connected to the server. For example, the sensor can be fixedly installed at a position, and after confirming the position once, it does not need to be moved. In this case, when the user wants to perform directional air sweeping, the sensor only needs to send a directional air sweeping command, and does not need to reconfirm the position. However, the actual sensor may be moved, or the sensor is installed on a remote controller. In this case, the position needs to be reconfirmed after movement. In the embodiment of the present application, only one button or command sending position can be provided on the sensor. When the user presses it, it is determined according to the state of the sensor whether the command sent is a position confirmation command and a directional air sweeping command or only a directional air sweeping command. Preferably, a counter and an accelerometer are provided inside the sensor. When the sensor sends a position confirmation command, the count of the counter is not 0. The movement of the sensor is detected by the accelerometer. When the sensor is moved, the counter is cleared. When the counter is cleared, the position needs to be reconfirmed when the command is sent again.

[0123] The position of the sensor is set by the user himself / herself, and the number is not limited. Since the air conditioner itself has the air sweeping function, the addition of the sensor only makes the air conditioner better complete the air blowing function. For example, the air conditioner is required to blow air in two directions for how long. These operations can be set through the sensor.

[0124] In addition, the air conditioner itself also has a supply function, and the supply function of the sensor is supplementary. When the sensor appears in the server, the supply request of the sensor is given priority, such as setting the supply to the sensor for 1 hour. After receiving the instruction from the server, the server will issue an instruction to the air conditioner, and the air conditioner will stop the existing operation, and preferentially supply air to the location of the sensor and supply air for 1 hour.

[0125] As for the appearance of multiple sensors in the scene, the above steps can be executed. If multiple sensors appear in the scene, linkage may be required at this time, such as the appearance of three sensors, and the three sensors have been connected to the server. At this time, the sensor will appear a specific direction supply or multi-sensor linkage supply. In simple terms, the specific direction supply is to supply air to one sensor; the linkage supply is to develop a specific supply strategy, the time of each sensor staying, the air sweeping rule, etc. It should be noted that the specific direction supply and the linkage supply cannot exist at the same time. When there is a conflict, an alarm will be issued.

[0126] The scheme of the embodiments of the present application solves the problem that the existing air conditioning equipment cannot perform directional supply according to user demand. By introducing distributed sensors, users can set the supply time and position according to actual demand, and the air conditioning equipment can sense the position of the sensor in real time and perform directional supply, thereby improving the user experience and comfort. Users can set the supply time and position according to actual demand to achieve personalized supply. The air conditioning equipment can sense the position of the sensor in real time and perform directional supply according to the position information of the sensor. Users can achieve the setting of directional supply through simple operation without complex operation steps. Through directional supply, users can obtain a more comfortable indoor environment.

[0127] It should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only for the purpose of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two.

[0128] It can be understood that the same or similar parts in the above embodiments can be mutually referred to, and the contents not described in detail in some embodiments can be referred to the same or similar contents in other embodiments.
