[0026] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B.

[0027] The term "correspondence" may refer to an association relationship or a binding relationship. The correspondence between A and B means that there is an association relationship or a binding relationship between A and B.

[0028] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, smart home appliances refer to home appliances that are formed by introducing microprocessors, sensor technology, and network communication technology into home appliances. They have the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception, and intelligent application. The operation process of smart home appliances often relies on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, smart home appliances can be connected to electronic devices to enable users to remotely control and manage smart home appliances. Among them, the smart home appliances in the embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited to smart refrigerators and smart air conditioners.

[0029] At present, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the popularity of various household appliances is also increasing. In daily use, various noises are generated when the compressor, air duct, fan and other components inside the equipment are running. For this reason, the relevant technology switches the operation mode of the household appliance to silent mode when the user is in sleep mode, and runs in silent mode. By reducing the noise during the operation of household appliances, the user experience can be guaranteed.

[0030] Although the relevant technology can reduce the noise generated by home appliances by running in silent mode, the operating power of home appliances in silent mode is low, which sacrifices some working capacity and the actual user experience is poor.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a smart home appliance, including:

[0032] S101: The processor obtains indoor sound information.

[0033] S102: The processor analyzes the sound information to extract the ambient noise and its corresponding ambient noise value.

[0034] S103, when there is a user indoors, the processor controls the smart home appliance to selectively operate in silent mode according to the ambient noise value and the target noise value.

[0035] By adopting the method for controlling smart home appliances provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by obtaining indoor sound information and analyzing it, the ambient noise therein can be extracted and the corresponding ambient noise value can be obtained. When there is a user indoors, the embodiment of the present disclosure further analyzes the relationship between the ambient noise value and the target noise value, so that the smart home appliances can be controlled to operate reasonably to determine whether they enter silent mode. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can take into account the actual impact of ambient noise on user experience, and then reasonably adjust the operation of smart home appliances, so as to coordinate the working ability of smart home appliances with the user experience.

[0036] Optionally, the method for controlling a smart home appliance may be executed in the smart home appliance or in a server communicating with the smart home appliance. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the solution is described with the processor in the smart home appliance as the execution subject.

[0037] Optionally, the processor controls the smart home appliance to selectively run the silent mode according to the ambient noise value and the target noise value, including: when the ambient noise value is less than or equal to the target noise value, the processor controls the smart home appliance to enter the silent mode; or, when the ambient noise value is greater than the target noise value, the processor controls the smart home appliance not to enter the silent mode. In this way, when the ambient noise value is less than or equal to the target noise value, the room is in a relatively quiet environment. At this time, the noise during the operation of the smart home appliance is more prominent, which is easily noticed by the user and causes complaints. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure controls the smart home appliance in the current environment to enter the silent mode, so as to effectively reduce the noise generated by the smart home appliance, which is conducive to improving the user experience. When the ambient noise value is greater than the target noise value, under the influence of the masking effect, the user is usually only more disgusted with the more obvious ambient noise, and is less sensitive to the noise during the operation of the smart home appliance. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure controls the smart home appliance in the current environment not to enter the silent mode, but to maintain the normal operation mode, so as to avoid the ineffective entry into the silent mode causing the working ability of the smart home appliance to be forced to decline, which is conducive to ensuring the working effect of the smart home appliance. Therefore, by judging the relationship between the ambient noise value and the target noise value, the disclosed embodiment can grasp the exact timing for the smart home appliances to enter the silent mode, so as to prioritize the working ability of the smart home appliances when they do not affect the user experience, and enter the silent mode in time when they directly affect the user experience, thereby coordinating the working ability of the smart home appliances with the user experience.

[0038] Optionally, the processor obtains indoor sound information, including: the processor controls the sound sensor to collect indoor sound information. The sound sensor is installed on the smart home appliance and faces the user activity area. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can use the sound sensor installed on the smart home appliance to collect indoor sound information, which is conducive to reasonably analyzing the current noise situation, and further can assist the operation control of the smart home appliance.

[0039] Optionally, the sound sensor is a microphone unit, and there are multiple microphone units. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can further improve the accuracy of sound information collection through the microphone unit array design, which is conducive to more accurate analysis of the current noise situation.

[0040] Optionally, combined Figure 2 As shown, the processor analyzes the sound information and extracts the ambient noise and its corresponding ambient noise value therefrom, including:

[0041] S201, the processor inputs the sound information into the sound analysis model to separate and obtain multiple sound types.

[0042] S202: The processor extracts environmental noise from multiple sound types and obtains environmental noise values ​​corresponding to the environmental noise.

[0043] In this way, by inputting sound information into the trained sound analysis model, the embodiment of the present disclosure can separate the sound by combining the acoustic features corresponding to different types of sound, thereby obtaining multiple types of sound. Then the embodiment of the present disclosure extracts the environmental noise from the separated multiple types of sound, and obtains the environmental noise value corresponding to the environmental noise, thereby accurately grasping the noise condition of the current environment, which is conducive to controlling the reasonable operation of smart home appliances, so as to coordinate the working ability of smart home appliances with the user experience.

[0044] Optionally, the processor obtains the target noise value in the following manner, including: the processor obtains the running smart home appliance; the processor determines the corresponding target noise value according to the type of the running smart home appliance. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can obtain the smart home appliances running indoors, and then match the corresponding target noise value according to their specific types, so that the target noise value can be determined more quickly, which is conducive to improving the timeliness of the silent mode of the smart home appliance. Exemplarily, when the running smart home appliance is a smart refrigerator, the corresponding target noise value is 35dB, which corresponds to the operating noise of the smart refrigerator in a generally nominal stable state.

[0045] Optionally, the processor obtains the target noise value in the following manner, including: the processor analyzes the sound information and extracts the operating noise of the smart home appliance therefrom; the processor determines the real-time noise value corresponding to the operating noise of the smart home appliance as the target noise value. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can analyze the acquired indoor sound information, extract the operating noise of the smart home appliance therein, and then obtain the real-time noise value corresponding to the operating noise, and use it as the target noise value to assist the operation control of the smart home appliance. As a result, the embodiment of the present disclosure can directly detect the real-time noise situation of the smart home appliance and compare it with the ambient noise, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the silent mode of the smart home appliance.

[0046] Optionally, the processor analyzes the sound information and extracts the operating noise of the smart home appliance from it, including: the processor inputs the sound information into the sound analysis model to separate and obtain multiple sound types; the processor extracts the operating noise of the smart home appliance from the multiple sound types. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can use the trained sound analysis model to separate the input sound information, and identify it in combination with the acoustic features corresponding to each type of sound, so as to obtain multiple sound types. Then the embodiment of the present disclosure extracts the operating noise of the smart home appliance from the separated multiple sound types, and can obtain the real-time noise value corresponding to the operating noise, so as to accurately grasp the actual noise condition of the smart home appliance. By comparing it with the ambient noise, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the reasonable operation of the smart home appliance, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the silent mode of the smart home appliance, so as to coordinate the working ability of the smart home appliance with the user experience.

[0047] Optionally, the processor determines that there is a user indoors in the following manner, including: the processor controls the camera to acquire an indoor image; when a user image is recognized in the indoor image, the processor determines that there is a user indoors. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can use the camera to acquire indoor images and recognize the user image therefrom, thereby being able to more accurately determine that there is a user indoors, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the silent mode of the smart home appliance.

[0048] Optionally, the processor determines that there is a user in the room in the following manner, including: the processor analyzes the sound information and recognizes the user's voice; when the user's voice is recognized, the processor determines that there is a user in the room. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can use the sound sensor to analyze the sound information and recognize the user's voice, so as to more quickly determine whether there is a user in the room, which is conducive to improving the timeliness of the operation of the silent mode of the smart home appliance.

[0049] Optionally, the processor analyzes the sound information and identifies the user's voice therefrom, including: the processor inputs the sound information into the sound analysis model to separate and obtain a plurality of sound types; the processor matches the user's voice from the plurality of sound types. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can use the trained sound analysis model to separate the input sound information, and identify it in combination with the acoustic features corresponding to each type of sound, so as to obtain a plurality of sound types. Then the embodiment of the present disclosure matches whether there is a user's voice from the separated plurality of sound types, so as to quickly determine whether there is a user in the room. It is understandable that the user's voice in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the user's speaking voice, but can also include the sound of the user's activities, such as footsteps, typing sounds, etc., and no specific limitation is made to this.

[0050] Optionally, the processor controls the smart home appliance to enter a silent mode, including: the processor determines a silent solution according to the difference between the target noise value and the ambient noise value; the processor controls the smart home appliance to enter a corresponding silent mode according to the silent solution. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can judge the degree of influence of the noise problem on the user experience by combining the difference between the target noise value and the ambient noise value, and determine a suitable silent solution accordingly, so as to control the smart home appliance to run a more reasonable silent mode, so as to coordinate the working ability of the smart home appliance with the user experience.

[0051] Optionally, the processor determines a mute solution according to the difference between the target noise value and the ambient noise value, including: when the difference between the target noise value and the ambient noise value is less than or equal to the preset noise value, the processor determines that the mute solution is to reduce the compressor operating frequency; or, when the difference between the target noise value and the ambient noise value is greater than the preset noise value, the processor determines that the mute solution is to reduce the compressor operating frequency and reduce the fan speed. Wherein, the preset noise value is greater than zero. In this way, when the difference between the target noise value and the ambient noise value is less than the preset noise value, the noise problem of the smart home appliance is not prominent, and the main factor affecting the user experience at this time is the sharper noise emitted by the compressor. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can significantly improve the noise problem of the smart home appliance by reducing the compressor operating frequency, thereby better improving the user experience without sacrificing more working capacity. When the difference between the target noise value and the ambient noise value is greater than the preset noise value, the noise problem of the smart home appliance becomes more obvious, so the embodiment of the present disclosure can more effectively improve the noise problem of the smart home appliance by reducing the compressor operating frequency and reducing the fan speed, thereby better ensuring the user experience.

[0052] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling a smart home appliance, including:

[0053] S301: The processor obtains indoor sound information.

[0054] S302: The processor analyzes the sound information to extract the ambient noise and its corresponding ambient noise value.

[0055] S303: When there is a user indoors, the processor obtains the distance between the smart home appliance and the user.

[0056] S304: The processor corrects the target noise value according to the distance between the smart home appliance and the user.

[0057] S305, the processor controls the smart home appliance to selectively run a silent mode according to the ambient noise value and the target noise value.

[0058] By adopting the method for controlling smart home appliances provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by obtaining indoor sound information and analyzing it, the environmental noise therein can be extracted and the corresponding environmental noise value can be obtained. When there is a user indoors, the embodiment of the present disclosure first determines the distance between the smart home appliance and the user, and then corrects the target noise value accordingly. Since the correlation between noise and distance is taken into consideration, the corrected target noise value can be more in line with the actual user experience. Then the embodiment of the present disclosure further analyzes the relationship between the environmental noise value and the target noise value, so that the smart home appliance can be controlled to operate reasonably to determine whether it enters the silent mode. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can take into account the actual impact of environmental noise on the user experience, and then reasonably adjust the operation of the smart home appliance, so as to coordinate the working ability of the smart home appliance with the user experience.

[0059] Optionally, the method for controlling a smart home appliance may be executed in the smart home appliance or in a server communicating with the smart home appliance. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the solution is described with the processor in the smart home appliance as the execution subject.

[0060] Optionally, the processor corrects the target noise value according to the distance between the smart appliance and the user, including: when the distance between the smart appliance and the user is less than the preset distance, the processor maintains the target noise value; or, when the distance between the smart appliance and the user is greater than or equal to the preset distance, the processor reduces the target noise value. In this way, when the distance between the smart appliance and the user is less than the preset distance, the user is closer to the smart appliance at this time, and the attenuation amplitude of the operation noise of the smart appliance when it is transmitted to the user's location is small. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure maintains the initial target noise value, so that the smart appliance can be controlled to enter the silent mode in time to better guarantee the user's experience. When the distance between the smart appliance and the user is greater than or equal to the preset distance, the user is far away from the smart appliance at this time, and the operation noise of the smart appliance will be affected by the distance and produce a large attenuation, and the actual noise value transmitted to the user's location is significantly reduced. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure reduces the initial target noise value to adaptively postpone the time for the smart appliance to enter the silent mode, so that the smart appliance can run the silent mode later, so as to ensure the working ability of the smart appliance itself in more time periods. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment can reasonably correct the target noise value based on the distance between the smart home appliance and the user, so as to more accurately grasp the precise timing for the smart home appliance to enter the silent mode, which is conducive to coordinating the working ability of the smart home appliance with the user's experience.

[0061] Optionally, the reduction amplitude of the target noise value is positively correlated with the distance between the smart appliance and the user. That is, the greater the distance between the smart appliance and the user, the greater the reduction amplitude of the target noise value. In this way, when the smart appliance is farther away from the user, the actual noise value corresponding to the operating noise of the smart appliance transmitted to the user's location is lower, and the impact on the user experience is also smaller. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can set a larger reduction amplitude to correct and obtain a smaller target noise value, so that the smart appliance can be controlled to run the silent mode later, so as to ensure the working ability of the smart appliance itself in more time periods.

[0062] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling a smart home appliance, including:

[0063] S401: The processor obtains indoor sound information.

[0064] S402: The processor analyzes the sound information to extract the ambient noise and its corresponding ambient noise value.

[0065] S403, when there is a user indoors, the processor controls the smart home appliance to selectively operate in silent mode according to the ambient noise value and the target noise value.

[0066] S404: When there is no user in the room, the processor controls the smart home appliance not to enter the silent mode.

[0067] By adopting the method for controlling smart home appliances provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by obtaining indoor sound information and analyzing it, the environmental noise therein can be extracted and the corresponding environmental noise value can be obtained. When there are no users in the room, there is no need to consider the noise problem, so the embodiment of the present disclosure controls the smart home appliances to never enter the silent mode to give priority to their working ability. When there are users in the room, the embodiment of the present disclosure further analyzes the relationship between the environmental noise value and the target noise value, so that the smart home appliances can be controlled to operate reasonably to determine whether they enter the silent mode. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can take into account the actual impact of environmental noise on the user experience, and then reasonably adjust the operation of the smart home appliances, so as to coordinate the working ability of the smart home appliances with the user experience.

[0068] Optionally, the method for controlling a smart home appliance may be executed in the smart home appliance or in a server communicating with the smart home appliance.
