[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0036] The operating principle of the air conditioner involved in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below:

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the compressor compresses the refrigerant (coolant) and transports it to the condenser through a pipeline. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases heat in the condenser and becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. After that, the medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant is depressurized by a capillary tube (throttling unit) and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant is transported to the evaporator to evaporate from liquid to gas, and absorbs a large amount of heat during the evaporation process. Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the evaporator is transported to the compressor to participate in the next cycle. When the air conditioner is cooling, the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit is the condenser, and the heat exchanger of the indoor unit is the evaporator; conversely, when the air conditioner is heating, the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit is the evaporator, and the heat exchanger of the indoor unit is the condenser.

[0038] The following is a description of the professional terms involved in the embodiments of the present application:

[0039] Millimeter wave radar: It is a new type of wireless communication technology that has developed rapidly in recent years and is also widely used in human body detection. Millimeter wave radar technology transmits millimeter wave signals to the target object and receives its echo signal. It uses the slight changes in weak signals to extract relevant information of the target object, thereby achieving non-contact and non-invasive measurement and identification of the object.

[0040] Based on the above characteristics of millimeter-wave radar, its application in human body detection includes the following aspects: Health monitoring: By detecting physiological parameters such as human heartbeat, breathing, and body temperature, it is used for health monitoring and disease prevention. For example, in the medical field, the patient's heart or breathing power can be monitored by millimeter-wave radar, which can allow doctors to understand the patient's health status more accurately. Posture recognition: By detecting and identifying human posture, it can be further applied to human motion analysis, posture correction and other fields, which is of great help to people's physical health and exercise effect. For example, in the gym, millimeter-wave radar can be used to detect whether the athlete's posture is accurate, so as to correct the athlete's wrong posture and reduce sports injuries. Human safety detection: millimeter-wave radar can perform security checks on the human body, identify and detect dangerous goods and thermal energy materials, such as timely discovering people carrying dangerous goods in airports and large public places to ensure safety. In addition, when it is detected that the human body is in poor condition, the millimeter-wave radar can also automatically send a signal to the emergency personnel to obtain emergency help.

[0041] In short, millimeter wave radar has many applications in human body detection, which can effectively improve people's quality of life and ensure human safety. Due to the development of millimeter wave radar technology, future applications will also be more extensive and diversified.

[0042] In the related art, a light intensity sensor can be set on the air conditioner to detect the light intensity of the current environment, and then adjust the brightness of the display panel according to the light intensity of the current environment. However, since the air conditioner is usually set near a window with sufficient light, such a brightness control method will cause the brightness value of the display panel to be adjusted according to the light intensity near the window, and it will always be at a higher or lower level. When there is a large difference in light intensity between the area where the user is located and the area where the air conditioner is located, the current brightness of the display panel may irritate the user's eyes due to excessive brightness, or it may be too dark for the user to see the displayed information clearly.

[0043] In response to the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the related technology, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling the brightness of an air conditioner display panel. The method can divide the area directly in front of the air conditioner into multiple brightness zones, and detect the brightness value of each zone through a light intensity sensing array sensor. At the same time, a millimeter-wave radar is used to detect the brightness zone in which the user is located. Finally, the brightness of the display panel is adjusted according to the light intensity of the brightness zone in which the user is located, so that no matter which brightness zone the user is in, he can clearly observe the information displayed on the display panel without causing any irritation to the user's eyes.

[0044] The air conditioner display panel brightness control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling the brightness of an air conditioner display panel, which may include the following steps 201 and 202:

[0046] Step 201: obtaining the light intensity of different brightness partitions in the area directly in front of the air conditioner through the light intensity sensing array sensor, and obtaining the target brightness partition where the target user is located through the millimeter wave radar on the air conditioner.

[0047] The area directly in front of the air conditioner is divided into a plurality of brightness partitions, and the target brightness partition is a brightness partition where the target user is located among the plurality of brightness partitions.

[0048] For example, Figure 3As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of a light intensity sensing array sensor provided in an embodiment of the present application. The light intensity sensing array sensor is arranged on an air conditioner. The light intensity sensing array sensor 301 includes five light intensity sensing units. Taking the light intensity sensing unit 301a as an example, a sensor is arranged at the bottom inside the light intensity sensing unit 301a to detect the light intensity of a brightness partition. Since the sensor is arranged at the bottom, such a structural design enables the sensor 301a1 of the light intensity sensing unit 301a to only detect the light intensity of the corresponding brightness partition, and is less affected by the strong light near the balcony.

[0049] Specifically, the light intensity sensing array sensor includes a plurality of light intensity sensing units, one light intensity sensing unit corresponds to one brightness partition; the step of obtaining the light intensity of each brightness partition in the above step 201 may include the following steps 201a1 and 201a2:

[0050] Step 201a1: Obtain the light intensity value fed back by each of the plurality of light intensity sensing units.

[0051] Step 201a2: determine the illumination intensity of the brightness partition corresponding to each illumination intensity sensing unit according to the illumination intensity value fed back by each illumination intensity sensing unit.

[0052] For example, in combination Figure 3 The light intensity sensing array sensor shown, such as Figure 4 The figure is a schematic diagram of brightness zone illumination intensity detection provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 The light intensity sensing array sensor shown can divide the area in front of the air conditioner into five brightness zones (i.e., brightness zone 1 to brightness zone 5), and Figure 3 The light intensity sensing array sensor shown detects the light intensity of each brightness zone. For example, the light intensity sensing unit 301a is used to detect the light intensity of zone 1.

[0053] It is understandable that Figure 4 Take this as an example to illustrate Figure 4 As shown, since the sunlight shines into different lighting areas of the room through the windows at different times, when partition 3 is the lighting area and the user is in partition 3, the user's pupils will inevitably contract to reduce the amount of light entering due to the strong light exposure. At this time, if the user wants to see the information displayed on the display panel clearly, the brightness of the display panel needs to be increased; conversely, when the user moves from partition 3 to partition 4 that is not directly exposed to sunlight, the user's pupils will inevitably dilate to increase the amount of light entering due to the lack of strong light exposure. At this time, in order to avoid irritation to the user's eyes, the brightness of the display panel needs to be reduced.

[0054] Specifically, the step of acquiring the target brightness partition where the target user is located by using the millimeter wave radar on the air conditioner in step 201 may include the following steps 201b1 and 201b2:

[0055] Step 201b1: obtaining relative position information between the target user and the air conditioner through the millimeter wave radar.

[0056] Step 201b2: determine the target brightness partition where the target user is located based on the relative position information and the relative position information between each brightness partition and the air conditioner.

[0057] For example, the user's location information can be obtained through millimeter wave radar, and then the relative position relationship between the user and the air conditioner can be determined. Then, combined with the relative position relationship between each brightness zone and the air conditioner, the brightness zone where the user is currently located can be calculated.

[0058] Step 202: Adjust the brightness value of the air conditioner display panel according to the light intensity of the target brightness partition.

[0059] For example, after the target brightness partition where the target user is located and the light intensity of the target brightness partition are acquired, the brightness value of the air conditioner display panel can be adjusted based on the light intensity of the target brightness partition.

[0060] Exemplarily, in the embodiments of the present application, the brightness of the display panel can be adjusted for a single user or multiple users.

[0061] Specifically, for a single user scenario, the above step 202 may include the following steps 202a1 and 202a2:

[0062] Step 202a1: when the target user includes one user, determine a first brightness value of the display panel according to the illumination intensity of the target brightness partition.

[0063] Step 202a2: Control the display brightness of the display panel according to the first brightness value.

[0064] For example, when the target user is only a single user, it is only necessary to adjust the brightness value of the display panel according to the light intensity of the target brightness partition where the target user is located.

[0065] Specifically, for multiple user scenarios, the above step 202 may include the following steps 202b1 and 202b2:

[0066] Step 202b1: when the target user includes multiple users and the multiple users are in different brightness partitions, obtain the illumination intensity of each brightness partition in the multiple brightness partitions where the multiple users are located.

[0067] Step 202b2: Calculate and obtain the average illumination intensity of each brightness subarea.

[0068] For example, in a scenario with multiple users, it is first necessary to calculate the average brightness of multiple brightness partitions where the multiple users are located, and then adjust the brightness of the display according to actual conditions.

[0069] Specifically, after the above step 202b2, the above step 202 may further include the following steps 202b3 and 202b4:

[0070] Step 202b3: Obtain the field of view focus of each user among the multiple users.

[0071] Step 202b4: When the visual focus of each user is not in the area where the air conditioner is located, the display brightness of the display panel is controlled according to the average brightness value.

[0072] Exemplarily, after calculating the average brightness of the multiple brightness partitions where the multiple users are located, if it is detected that no user is observing the display panel, the display brightness of the display panel may be controlled according to the brightness value corresponding to the above average brightness.

[0073] Exemplarily, the display brightness of the display panel is controlled according to the brightness value corresponding to the above brightness average value, and when it is detected that the user is observing the display panel, the display brightness can be adjusted to a suitable brightness in a timely manner. That is, controlling the display brightness of the display panel according to the brightness value corresponding to the above brightness average value can reduce the delay of brightness adjustment in subsequent steps.

[0074] Exemplarily, the field of vision focus of each user mentioned above can be obtained through a camera on a smart TV linked to the air conditioner. The camera on the smart TV can collect the eye movement information of each user and determine the field of vision focus of each user, that is, the area where each user is looking, based on the eye movement information of each user.

[0075] Exemplarily, the visual focus of each user mentioned above can also be obtained by monitoring the user's body movements through a millimeter-wave radar set on the air conditioner. The millimeter-wave radar can detect the user's facial orientation and then determine the user's visual focus based on the user's facial orientation.

[0076] Specifically, after the above step 202b2, the above step 202 may further include the following steps 202b5 to 202b7:

[0077] Step 202b5: Obtain the field of view focus of each user among the multiple users.

[0078] Step 202b6: When the field of vision focus of any observing user among the multiple users is in the area where the air conditioner is located, determine the second brightness value of the display panel based on the light intensity of the brightness partition where the observing user is located.

[0079] Step 202b7: controlling the display brightness of the display panel according to the second brightness value.

[0080] Exemplarily, when it is detected that a certain user (ie, the observing user mentioned above) is observing the display panel, the brightness value of the display panel may be adjusted according to the light intensity of the brightness partition where the user is located.

[0081] In this way, the brightness value of the display panel is adjusted according to the light intensity of the area where the user is located, so that the user can clearly see the information displayed on the display panel under any circumstances without causing irritation to the user's eyes.

[0082] The method for controlling the brightness of the display panel of an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present application first obtains the light intensity of different brightness partitions in the area directly in front of the air conditioner through the light intensity sensing array sensor, and obtains the target brightness partition where the target user is located through the millimeter wave radar on the air conditioner; then, according to the light intensity of the target brightness partition, the brightness value of the display panel of the air conditioner is adjusted; wherein the area directly in front of the air conditioner is divided into multiple brightness partitions, and the target brightness partition is the brightness partition where the target user is located in the multiple brightness partitions. In this way, the brightness value of the display panel is adjusted according to the light intensity of the area where the user is located, so that the user can clearly see the information displayed on the display panel under any circumstances, and it will not cause irritation to the user's eyes.

[0083] It should be noted that the air conditioner display panel brightness control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an air conditioner display panel brightness control device, or a brightness control module in the air conditioner display panel brightness control device for executing the air conditioner display panel brightness control method.
