[0012] When the dark mode of the mobile phone is turned on but the current time is not within the allowed opening period or the dark mode of the mobile phone is turned off, the air conditioner sends a first control signal to make the mobile phone execute the light mode;
[0013] When the dark mode of the mobile phone is turned on and the current time is within the allowed opening period, it is determined whether the air conditioner is not in an online state or the air conditioner is in an online state but the user's spatial location is not within the spatial range of the air conditioner;

[0020] If not, the air conditioner sends a second control signal to the mobile phone to enable the mobile phone to operate in power saving mode.
[0021] Furthermore, when the usage ratio of the mobile phone CPU is not less than a preset usage threshold, the following steps are performed:
[0022] Get the lock status of the application in the mobile phone from the running information;
[0023] Closing non-locked applications in the mobile phone to reduce the usage ratio of the mobile phone CPU, and determining whether the reduced usage ratio is not lower than a preset ratio threshold;
[0024] If so, the application with the largest difference between the maximum and minimum historical CPU usage percentages among the locked applications is retained, and the remaining applications are closed to reduce the usage percentage of the mobile phone CPU.
[0025] Further, in the noon period and the night period, the first time interval of the noon period is smaller than the first time interval of the night period.
[0026] Preferably, in step S4, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness and refresh rate of the mobile phone screen according to the spatial position and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located, including:
[0027] Setting a first critical temperature value within the space where the air conditioner is located, and obtaining a lock state of an application in a mobile phone from the operation information;
[0028] When the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is higher than the first critical temperature value and the user's spatial position is within the space where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness of the mobile phone screen according to the temperature value and the first critical temperature value;
[0029] When the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is higher than the first critical temperature value and the user's spatial position is outside the space where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to set the screen brightness of the mobile phone to the lowest and close the application in the non-locked state;
[0030] When the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is not higher than the first critical temperature value, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to keep the screen of the mobile phone at the current brightness.
[0031] Furthermore, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone according to the temperature value and the first critical temperature value to adjust the brightness of the mobile phone screen, satisfying the relationship:
[0032]
[0033] Where T represents the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is currently located, T th1 Represents the first critical temperature value, T max Indicates the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located when the screen brightness is adjusted to the lowest. max Indicates the maximum brightness that the current mobile phone can adjust, L min Indicates the lowest brightness that the current mobile phone can adjust, and L indicates the adjusted screen brightness.
[0034] Preferably, in step S4, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness and refresh rate of the mobile phone screen according to the spatial position and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located, and further includes:
[0035] Setting a second critical temperature value within the space where the air conditioner is located;
[0036] If the user's spatial position is within the spatial range where the air conditioner is located, when the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is not lower than the second critical temperature value, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone according to the second critical temperature value and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located to reduce the refresh rate of the mobile phone screen;
[0037] If the user's spatial position is outside the spatial range of the air conditioner, when the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is not lower than the second critical temperature value, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to set the refresh rate of the mobile phone to the lowest.
[0038] Furthermore, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone according to the second critical temperature value and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located, so as to reduce the refresh rate of the mobile phone screen, satisfying the relationship:
[0039]
[0040] Among them, α represents the sensitivity of temperature to refresh rate adjustment, R min Indicates the lowest value of the current mobile phone screen refresh rate, R max represents the maximum refresh rate of the current mobile phone screen, e represents the base of the natural logarithm, T represents the temperature value in the space where the current air conditioner is located, T th2 represents the second critical temperature value, and R represents the adjusted screen refresh rate.

It intelligently adjusts the brightness and refresh rate of the mobile phone screen according to the user's spatial position and temperature value to reduce the impact of environmental factors on the mobile phone. This solution automatically adjusts the use status of the mobile phone according to environmental changes and user needs, thereby improving the intelligence level of home interactive control. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0048] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without paying creative work.
[0049] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of an air conditioner and smart phone interactive control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0050] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0051] In the present invention, the terms "comprises", "comprising" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of more restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, an air conditioner and a smart phone interactive control method comprises:
[0053] Step S1: obtaining the user's spatial position and body posture;
[0054] Step S2: Acquire environmental information in the space where the air conditioner is located, wherein the environmental information includes a light intensity value and a temperature value;
[0055] Step S3: establishing a communication connection between the mobile phone and the air conditioner, wherein the communication connection is used for the interaction of mobile phone operation information and the transmission of control signals;
[0056] Step S4: The air conditioner sends a first control signal to the mobile phone according to the operating information, spatial position and light intensity value to switch the mobile phone between dark mode and light mode, sends a second control signal to the mobile phone according to the operating information and body posture to switch the mobile phone between performance mode and power saving mode, and sends a third control signal to the mobile phone according to the spatial position and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located to adjust the brightness and refresh rate of the mobile phone screen.
[0057] The mobile phone mentioned in the present invention needs to be equipped with an app that can interact with the air conditioner and control the sending and receiving of signals. The mobile phone can send information in the mobile phone to the air conditioner through the app, such as brightness information, mode on and off, and CPU information.
[0058] Specifically, in step S1, the user's spatial position refers to the user's specific position in space (such as a room), such as a sitting, standing or lying position, and the body posture refers to the user's body posture, such as a sitting position, a standing position, and a sleeping position. Exemplarily, the air conditioner can be equipped with a user detection module to obtain the user's spatial position and body posture respectively. In this embodiment, the user's spatial position and body posture can be obtained using millimeter radar, a camera or positioning technology, and the body posture is mainly used to determine whether the user has fallen asleep.
[0059] In step S2, the air conditioner can be built-in or connected to a light sensing detection module and a temperature sensor to obtain light intensity values and temperature values respectively. In step S3, the air conditioner can establish a connection with the mobile phone via WIFI or Bluetooth. After the connection is established, the air conditioner can obtain the operation information of the mobile phone (such as whether the power saving mode is turned on or whether the application is locked, etc.), and the air conditioner sends a control signal to the mobile phone after information processing to control the mobile phone to adjust its own operation status.
[0060] In step S4, the air conditioner sends a first control signal to the mobile phone based on the operating information, spatial position and light intensity value. According to the user's spatial position, it can be determined whether the user is outside the air-conditioned room. The user's position may affect the light intensity and direction. Adjusting the display mode can provide a better visual experience according to the actual environment. In addition, considering the light intensity value, the mobile phone can automatically switch to a suitable display mode according to the intensity of the ambient light. In a strong light environment, the light mode can improve the readability of the screen, and in a darker light environment, the dark mode can reduce eyestrain. After making a reasonable decision, the air conditioner can send a first control signal to the mobile phone through an information interaction module, such as Bluetooth, to control the conversion between the dark mode and the light mode in the mobile phone.
[0061] Sending a second control signal to the mobile phone according to the operation information and body posture to switch between the performance mode and the power saving mode is mainly to save the power of the mobile phone when the user is asleep or when the user's use is satisfied, optimize the use of the mobile phone and extend the service life of the mobile phone. The operation information includes the current state and load of the device. For example, the processor usage, memory occupancy rate and running applications of the mobile phone. This information can help determine whether the mobile phone needs high-performance processing capabilities or whether power consumption can be reduced. When the mobile phone is in a high-load state, such as running large games or performing complex calculations, switching to the performance mode can provide higher processing capabilities and faster response speeds. When the device is in a low-load state, such as only performing simple browsing or standby, the power saving mode can reduce energy consumption and extend the battery life. The change of body posture in a short period of time indicates that the user has not entered the sleep state. The current user's wishes can be followed and the control signal is not sent to control the mobile phone. If the user is in a static posture, it is determined that the user has entered the sleep state, and it is determined whether to send a second control signal to control the mobile phone to switch between the performance mode and the power saving mode according to the above operation information.
[0062] Sending a third control signal to the mobile phone according to the spatial position and temperature value to adjust the brightness and refresh rate of the screen can optimize the visual experience and performance of the mobile phone, while improving the comfort and energy efficiency of the device. In a high temperature environment, the screen brightness needs to be appropriately reduced to reduce heat generation and avoid overheating of the device. In a low temperature environment, the screen brightness can be increased to maintain good readability. The same applies to adjusting the refresh rate of the mobile phone screen according to the brightness.
[0063] This solution reduces eye fatigue when using mobile phones in different lighting environments by automatically adjusting the dark or light mode of the mobile phone screen according to operating information, spatial position and light intensity value. It determines whether the user is in a state requiring high-performance mobile phone operations (such as gaming, video editing) based on operating information and the user's body posture, and automatically switches the phone's performance mode or power saving mode to meet user needs and save power. It intelligently adjusts the brightness and refresh rate of the mobile phone screen according to the user's spatial position and temperature value, reducing the impact of environmental factors on the phone without affecting the user experience. This solution automatically adjusts the use status of the mobile phone according to environmental changes and user needs, thereby improving the intelligence level of home interactive control.
[0064] Preferably, in step S4, the air conditioner sends a first control signal to the mobile phone according to the operation information, the spatial position and the light intensity value to switch the mobile phone between the dark mode and the light mode, including:
[0065] Obtain the allowed opening time and switch status of the dark mode of the mobile phone from the operation information;
[0066] When the dark mode of the mobile phone is turned on but the current time is not within the allowed opening period or the dark mode of the mobile phone is turned off, the air conditioner sends a first control signal to make the mobile phone execute the light mode;
[0067] When the dark mode of the mobile phone is turned on and the current time is within the allowed opening period, it is determined whether the air conditioner is not in an online state or the air conditioner is in an online state but the user's spatial location is not within the spatial range of the air conditioner;
[0068] If not, the air conditioner sends a first control signal to enable the mobile phone to execute the light color mode;
[0069] If so, it is determined whether the light intensity value is less than a preset photosensitivity threshold. If so, the air conditioner sends a first control signal to enable the mobile phone to execute light mode. If not, the air conditioner sends a first control signal to enable the mobile phone to execute dark mode.
[0070] First, the air conditioner first obtains the time period and switch status of the dark mode of the mobile phone from the operation information. This step is to determine when the mobile phone is allowed to use the dark mode and under what circumstances it should switch to the light mode. If the dark mode of the mobile phone is turned on, but the current moment is not within the allowed opening period, or the dark mode is turned off, the air conditioner will send a first control signal to switch the mobile phone to the light mode, in order to ensure that the mobile phone will not use the dark mode during an inappropriate time period, and provide a more suitable visual experience. If the dark mode of the mobile phone is turned on and is currently within the allowed period, the air conditioner will check its networking status and the user's spatial location. If the air conditioner is not connected to the Internet or the user is not within the spatial range of the air conditioner, the air conditioner will send a signal to switch the mobile phone to the light mode. This is because the user may not be indoors, so in order to ensure the stability of the user experience, the light mode will be used. If the air conditioner is in a networked state and the user is within the spatial range of the air conditioner, the light intensity value will be further checked. If the light intensity value is greater than the preset photosensitivity threshold (for example, in a brighter environment), the air conditioner will send a signal to switch the mobile phone to the light mode, in order to ensure that the light mode can provide better visual clarity in a strong light environment. In this embodiment, the light sensitivity threshold is set to 20, and the light intensity value can be obtained using a light sensor. If the light intensity value is not higher than the threshold (for example, the ambient light is weak), the air conditioner will send a signal to switch the mobile phone to dark mode. In a weak light environment, the dark mode can improve the user's eye comfort and improve reading comfort.
[0071] Preferably, in step S4, the air conditioner sends a second control signal to the mobile phone according to the operation information and the body posture to switch the mobile phone between the performance mode and the power saving mode, including:
[0072] Get the usage percentage of the mobile phone CPU from the operation information;
[0073] determining whether the user's body posture changes within the first time interval, and if so, the air conditioner sends a second control signal to the mobile phone to enable the mobile phone to operate in the performance mode;
[0074] If not, it is determined whether the usage ratio of the mobile phone CPU is not less than a preset usage threshold, and if so, the air conditioner sends a second control signal to the mobile phone to make the mobile phone run in the performance mode;
[0075] If not, the air conditioner sends a second control signal to the mobile phone to enable the mobile phone to operate in power saving mode.
[0076] Specifically, after the connection between the air conditioner and the mobile phone is established in step 3 and the operation information of the mobile phone is obtained, the operation information includes the usage percentage of the mobile phone's CPU. Secondly, it is determined whether the user's body posture changes within the first time interval. The first time interval is a preset time duration, which is used to determine whether the user has entered a sleep state. It can be set according to the user's habits. For example, if the first time interval is 10 minutes, if the user's body posture does not change after 10 minutes, it can be determined that the user has entered a sleep state. If the user's body posture changes within 10 minutes, it is determined that the user has not entered a sleep state. In order to maintain the user's experience, a second control signal is sent to enable the mobile phone to run in a performance mode so that the performance provided by the mobile phone can support the user's use. If it is determined that the user has entered a sleep state, the usage percentage of the mobile phone CPU is checked. If the usage percentage of the mobile phone CPU is greater than the preset percentage threshold, that is, the user has entered a sleep state but the mobile phone is still performing important tasks or processing a large amount of data, the air conditioner sends a second control signal to enable the mobile phone to continue to run in the performance mode to ensure that these tasks can be completed smoothly. On the other hand, if the CPU usage ratio is lower than the preset threshold, the phone can be safely switched to power saving mode to reduce energy consumption and extend battery life without affecting the phone's operating efficiency, thus finding a balance between optimizing user experience and energy saving.
[0077] When the CPU usage of the mobile phone is not lower than the preset threshold, the following actions will occur:
[0078] Get the lock status of the application in the mobile phone from the running information;
[0079] Closing non-locked applications in the mobile phone to reduce the usage ratio of the mobile phone CPU, and determining whether the reduced usage ratio is not lower than a preset ratio threshold;
[0080] If so, the application with the largest difference between the maximum and minimum historical CPU usage percentages among the locked applications is retained, and the remaining applications are closed to reduce the usage percentage of the mobile phone CPU.
[0081] Specifically, when the mobile phone is still performing important tasks or processing a large amount of data, the application usage of the mobile phone can be optimized. The locked state of the application usually refers to the state of the application when it is running in the background. If some applications are locked, it means that they may be frequently used by the user, or they are continuously running in the background to perform important tasks. For example, users usually lock the music player software when listening to music. When the background tasks are cleared with one click, the tasks in the locked state will not be cleared at the same time. The applications in the non-locked state may be inactive or the applications that the user does not need to use at present. For example, after the user uses the shopping software, the shopping software is running in the background and is not closed. Closing these applications helps to release CPU resources and reduce the system burden, thereby improving overall efficiency and reducing power consumption. Therefore, when the CPU usage ratio of the mobile phone is not lower than the preset ratio threshold, first clear the unlocked applications in the mobile phone and recalculate the CPU usage ratio. If the CPU usage ratio is still greater than the ratio threshold, check the running information of the locked applications and select the applications with the largest difference between the maximum and minimum historical CPU usage ratios to retain. For example, when a video editing application is just opened, the CPU usage ratio is 1%. When performing video editing, the CPU usage ratio of the video editing application is 70%. The difference between the maximum and minimum historical CPU usage ratios of the video editing application is 69%. Ensure that the application can obtain sufficient performance, give priority to those applications with high performance requirements or those that are critical to the user experience, and close the remaining applications. This will help reduce the burden on the CPU, thereby reducing power consumption, while reducing unnecessary computing burdens and optimizing system resource allocation.
[0082] Further, in the noon period and the night period, the first time interval of the noon period is smaller than the first time interval of the night period.
[0083] Specifically, users may be more active during the noon period, frequently use their mobile phones, and their body postures change more frequently. The timer will be reset immediately after the user's body posture changes. At night, users are generally in a resting state, and their body postures change less frequently, that is, the frequency of changes in the user's body postures decreases. A longer first time interval is required to effectively detect whether the user is sleeping, to prevent the user from being directly judged as sleeping due to the low frequency of changes in the user's body postures at night. Therefore, the first time interval of the night period needs to be longer than the first time interval of the noon period.
[0084] In another embodiment, in step S4, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness and refresh rate of the mobile phone screen according to the spatial position and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located, including:
[0085] Setting a first critical temperature value within the space where the air conditioner is located, and obtaining a lock state of an application in a mobile phone from the operation information;
[0086] When the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is higher than the first critical temperature value and the user's spatial position is within the space where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness of the mobile phone screen according to the temperature value and the first critical temperature value;
[0087] When the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is higher than the first critical temperature value and the user's spatial position is outside the space where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to set the screen brightness of the mobile phone to the lowest and close the application in the non-locked state;
[0088] When the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is not higher than the first critical temperature value, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to keep the screen of the mobile phone at the current brightness.
[0089] Specifically, when the mobile phone runs an application, it will cause the mobile phone to heat up. The temperature of the environment will also affect the temperature of the mobile phone. High temperature has a significant impact on battery life. Long-term use of the device at high temperature will cause battery performance to deteriorate. The setting of the critical temperature should ensure that measures are taken before the temperature begins to affect the mobile phone. When the temperature of the space where the air conditioner is located is higher than the set critical temperature value, and the user's spatial position is within the area covered by the air conditioner, that is, when the user is using the mobile phone, the brightness of the mobile phone screen will be adjusted. Adjusting the screen brightness can maintain the user experience while reducing the heating of the mobile phone and avoiding the impact on the performance and battery of the mobile phone.
[0090] If the user is not in the effective coverage area of the air conditioner, that is, when the user is not using the phone, the air conditioner will send a signal to the phone to set the screen brightness to the minimum and close the non-locked applications. This can reduce the power consumption of the phone, avoid overheating of the device due to high temperature, and ensure the safety of the device at higher temperatures. When the temperature is within the normal range, that is, not higher than the first critical temperature value, the screen brightness remains unchanged to ensure the user's normal experience and avoid unnecessary brightness adjustment.
[0091] Furthermore, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone according to the temperature value and the first critical temperature value to adjust the brightness of the mobile phone screen, satisfying the relationship:
[0092]
[0093] Where T represents the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is currently located, T th1 Represents the first critical temperature value, T max Indicates the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located when the screen brightness is adjusted to the lowest. max Indicates the maximum brightness that the current mobile phone can adjust, L min Indicates the lowest brightness that the current mobile phone can adjust, and L indicates the adjusted screen brightness.
[0094] Specifically, assuming that the maximum brightness L that the current mobile phone can adjust is max is 1000, the lowest brightness L that the current mobile phone can adjust min is 200, the current temperature value T is 30, and the first critical temperature value T th1 is 25, and the temperature value T in the space where the air conditioner is located when the screen brightness is adjusted to the lowest max is 35. From the above relationship, it can be concluded that the adjusted screen brightness L is 600. The air conditioner sends a third signal to the mobile phone to adjust the screen brightness of the mobile phone to 600.
[0095] Preferably, in step S4, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness and refresh rate of the mobile phone screen according to the spatial position and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located, and further includes:
[0096] Setting a second critical temperature value within the space where the air conditioner is located;
[0097] If the user's spatial position is within the spatial range where the air conditioner is located, when the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is not lower than the second critical temperature value, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone according to the second critical temperature value and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located to reduce the refresh rate of the mobile phone screen;
[0098] If the user's spatial position is outside the spatial range of the air conditioner, when the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is not lower than the second critical temperature value, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone to set the refresh rate of the mobile phone to the lowest.
[0099] Specifically, similar to the screen brightness, when the phone is hot, the screen refresh rate can be adjusted to reduce the heat of the phone and avoid affecting the battery of the phone. Adjusting the screen refresh rate can prevent the phone temperature from rising further. A second critical temperature value is set to determine when the space temperature reaches or exceeds this value, and the screen refresh rate of the phone needs to be adjusted. When the user's spatial position is within the space where the air conditioner is located, that is, when the user is using the phone, and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is not lower than the second critical temperature value, the air conditioner will send a third control signal to the phone to control the phone to reduce the screen refresh rate, avoid overheating of the device at a higher temperature, and ensure stable operation of the device. A lower refresh rate will reduce the screen update frequency, thereby reducing power consumption and heat generation.
[0100] When the user's spatial position is outside the spatial range where the air conditioner is located, that is, when the user is not using the mobile phone, when the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located is not lower than the second critical temperature value, the air conditioner will send a third control signal to the mobile phone to set the refresh rate of the mobile phone to the lowest, which can reduce the heating of the mobile phone without reducing the user experience. In this embodiment, the second critical temperature value is lower than the first critical temperature value, that is, the refresh rate of the mobile phone screen is adjusted first, and then the brightness of the screen is adjusted. The change in screen brightness is easier for the user to perceive than the change in refresh rate, and has a greater impact on the user experience.
[0101] Furthermore, the air conditioner sends a third control signal to the mobile phone according to the second critical temperature value and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located, so as to reduce the refresh rate of the mobile phone screen, satisfying the relationship:
[0102]
[0103] Among them, α represents the sensitivity of temperature to refresh rate adjustment, R min Indicates the lowest value of the current mobile phone screen refresh rate, R max represents the maximum refresh rate of the current mobile phone screen, e represents the base of the natural logarithm, T represents the temperature value in the space where the current air conditioner is located, T th2 represents the second critical temperature value, and R represents the adjusted screen refresh rate.
[0104] Specifically, assuming that the sensitivity of temperature to refresh rate adjustment is 0.05, the current minimum refresh rate of the mobile phone screen is R min The maximum refresh rate of the current mobile phone screen is 30Hz. max is 120Hz, the second critical temperature value T th2 is 30, and the current temperature value T in the space where the air conditioner is located is 35. From the above relationship and parameters, it can be concluded that the adjusted refresh rate H is 50 Hz.
[0105] Preferably, the mobile phone also includes an automatic brightness adjustment mode;
[0106] When the automatic brightness adjustment mode adjusts the brightness of the phone:
[0107] Record the first brightness value of the mobile phone at this time;
[0108] The air conditioner sets the brightness adjustment range of the mobile phone according to the light intensity value;
[0109] If the first brightness value is not within the brightness adjustment range, the brightness value of the mobile phone is adjusted to a value closest to the first brightness value in the boundary value of the brightness adjustment range; if the first brightness value is within the brightness adjustment range, the brightness value of the mobile phone is maintained at the first brightness value.
[0110] Specifically, mobile phones usually have an automatic brightness adjustment mode. When the user selects the automatic brightness adjustment mode, the mobile phone will adjust the brightness of the mobile phone screen according to the user's environment, but its perception range is limited and may not accurately reflect the overall brightness of the user's environment, which in turn leads to poor physical examination of the user. The air conditioner can detect the changes in indoor light through its larger range of sensors (such as light intensity sensors) to provide a more comprehensive ambient light information. When the mobile phone turns on automatic brightness adjustment, the system first records the current brightness value, called the "first brightness value", which is used as the basis for subsequent comparisons. The air conditioner sets a brightness adjustment range based on the detected light intensity. For example, if the air conditioner detects that the light intensity is moderate, it can set the range to 200 to 400 brightness units. This range is based on the air conditioner's comprehensive judgment of the light in the entire room. The air conditioner compares the "first brightness value" with the brightness adjustment range set by the air conditioner. If the "first brightness value" is within the adjustment range (for example, 350), the mobile phone will maintain this brightness value; if the "first brightness value" is out of the range (for example, 450), the mobile phone will adjust the brightness to the boundary value of the adjustment range (400 in this case), and select the boundary closest to the "first brightness value". This ensures that the brightness of the mobile phone can be adjusted according to a wider range of environmental conditions, reduces the need for manual intervention due to environmental changes, and improves the user experience.
