Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of interactive control, and in particular to an interactive control method for an air conditioner and a smart phone. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of technology and people's living standards, smart home appliances are constantly developing, and the smart ecosystem has gradually become an important indicator for people to choose home appliances. The popularization of smart home appliances is closely related to the interaction with mobile phones, which brings convenience and efficiency to users. Most of the solutions in the existing technology are to control smart home appliances through mobile phone APPs. However, compared with the one-way control of smart home appliances by mobile phones, the interaction between smart home appliances and mobile phones has brought significant benefits in two-way interaction and information feedback, intelligence and automation, convenience and efficiency. Therefore, it is equally important for smart home appliances to interact with mobile phones and control mobile phones. Summary of the Invention

[0010] 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:

[0020] If not, the air conditioner sends a second control signal to the mobile phone to enable the mobile phone to run in power saving mode.

[0021] Furthermore, when the usage percentage 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] Close non-locked applications on the phone to reduce the percentage of CPU usage on the phone, and determine whether the reduced percentage is no less than a preset percentage threshold;

[0024] If so, the application with the largest difference between the maximum and minimum historical CPU usage percentages is retained among the locked applications, and the remaining applications are closed to reduce the usage percentage of the mobile phone CPU.

[0025] Further, in the midday period and the night period, the first time interval of the midday period is less than the first time interval of the night period.

[0026] Preferably, in step S4, the air conditioner sends the third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness and refresh rate of the screen of the mobile phone 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 in the space range where the air conditioner is located, obtaining the lock state of the application in the 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 spatial position of the user is within the space range where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner sends the third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness of the screen of the mobile phone 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 spatial position of the user is outside the space range where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner sends the third control signal to the mobile phone to set the screen brightness of the mobile phone to the lowest, and closes the application in the non-lock 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 the third control signal to the mobile phone to keep the screen of the mobile phone at the current brightness.

[0031] Further, the air conditioner sends the third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness of the screen of the mobile phone according to the temperature value and the first critical temperature value, satisfying the relationship:

[0032]

[0033] Wherein, 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 represents the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located when the screen brightness is adjusted to the lowest, L max represents the maximum brightness that the current mobile phone can adjust, L min represents the minimum brightness that the current mobile phone can adjust, L represents the adjusted screen brightness.

[0034] Preferably, in step S4, the air conditioner sends the third control signal to the mobile phone to adjust the brightness and refresh rate of the screen of the mobile phone according to the spatial position and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located, further including:

[0035] Setting a second critical temperature value in the space range where the air conditioner is located;

[0036] If the user's spatial location is within the space where the air conditioner is located, 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 sends a third control signal to the mobile phone based on 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;

[0037] If the user's spatial location is outside the space 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 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.

[0041] Preferably, the mobile phone also includes an automatic brightness adjustment mode;

[0042] When adjusting the brightness of your phone in automatic brightness adjustment mode:

[0043] Record the first brightness value of the mobile phone at this time;

[0044] The air conditioner sets a brightness adjustment range of the mobile phone according to the light intensity value;

[0045] 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 among the boundary values ​​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.

This solution automatically adjusts the usage status of the mobile phone according to environmental changes and user needs, 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 following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without paying any creative work.

[0049] Figure 1 The figure is a flow chart of the interactive control method of an air conditioner and a smart phone provided by an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments 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 intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0051] In the present invention, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for interactive control of an air conditioner and a smart phone includes:

[0053] Step S1: Obtain 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 light intensity value and 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 location in a space (e.g., a room), such as sitting, standing, or lying down, and the body posture refers to the user's body posture, such as sitting, standing, and sleeping. For example, 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. The body posture is mainly used to determine whether the user has entered sleep.

[0059] In step S2, the air conditioner can be equipped with or connected to a light detection module and a temperature sensor to obtain light intensity and temperature values, respectively. In step S3, the air conditioner can establish a connection with the mobile phone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. After the connection is established, the air conditioner can obtain the mobile phone's operating information (such as whether the power saving mode is on or whether the application is locked). After processing the information, the air conditioner sends a control signal to the mobile phone to control the mobile phone to adjust its own operating 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 eye fatigue. 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 dark mode and light mode in the mobile phone.

[0061] Based on operational information and body posture, a second control signal is sent to the phone to switch between performance mode and power saving mode. This is primarily intended to conserve power when the user is asleep or when the phone is fully functional, optimizing phone usage and extending its lifespan. Operational information includes the device's current state and load. For example, the phone's processor usage, memory usage, and currently running applications. This information can help determine whether the phone requires high-performance processing capabilities or whether power consumption can be reduced. When the phone is under high load, such as running large games or performing complex calculations, switching to performance mode can provide higher processing power and faster response times. When the device is under low load, such as during simple browsing or in standby mode, power saving mode can reduce energy consumption and extend battery life. A short period of change in body posture indicates that the user is not asleep, and the user's wishes can be followed by not sending a control signal to control the phone. If the user is in a static posture, it is determined that the user has fallen asleep, and the aforementioned operational information is used to determine whether to send a second control signal to control the phone's switch between performance mode and power saving mode.

[0062] Sending a third control signal to the phone to adjust the screen brightness and refresh rate based on spatial location and temperature can optimize the phone's visual experience and performance, while also improving device comfort and energy efficiency. In high-temperature environments, the screen brightness needs to be appropriately reduced to reduce heat generation and prevent overheating. In low-temperature environments, the screen brightness can be increased to maintain good readability. The same principle applies to adjusting the screen refresh rate based on brightness.

[0063] This solution automatically adjusts the dark or light mode of the mobile phone screen according to operating information, spatial position and light intensity values, reducing eye fatigue when users use mobile phones in different lighting environments. 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 mobile phone to performance mode or power saving mode, which not only meets user needs but also saves 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 mobile phone without affecting the user experience. This solution automatically adjusts the usage status of the mobile phone according to environmental changes and user needs, 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 enable the mobile phone to execute the light mode;

[0067] When the dark mode of the mobile phone is on and the current time is within the allowed opening period, determine 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 light 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 retrieves the phone's dark mode enabled time periods and status from operational information. This step determines when the phone is allowed to use dark mode and under what circumstances it should switch to light mode. If the phone's dark mode is enabled but not currently within the enabled time period, or if dark mode is disabled, the air conditioner sends a first control signal to switch the phone to light mode. This ensures that dark mode is not used during inappropriate times, providing a more appropriate visual experience. If the phone's dark mode is enabled and within the enabled time period, the air conditioner checks its network connection and the user's location. If the air conditioner is not connected to the network or the user is not within its range, it sends a signal to switch the phone to light mode. This is because the user may not be indoors, so light mode is used to ensure a stable user experience. If the air conditioner is connected to the network and the user is within its range, it further checks the light intensity value. If the light intensity value exceeds a preset light sensitivity threshold (for example, in brighter environments), the air conditioner sends a signal to switch the phone to light mode. This ensures that light mode provides better visual clarity in bright environments. 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, when the ambient light is low), the air conditioner will send a signal to switch the phone to dark mode. In low-light environments, dark mode can improve the user's eye comfort and enhance reading comfort.

[0071] Preferably, in step S4, the air conditioner sends a second control signal to the mobile phone according to the operating information and the body posture to switch the mobile phone between the performance mode and the power saving mode, including:

[0072] Get the CPU usage percentage of the mobile phone from the running 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 a performance mode;

[0074] If not, determining whether the usage ratio of the mobile phone CPU is not lower than a preset usage threshold, 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;

[0075] If not, the air conditioner sends a second control signal to the mobile phone to enable the mobile phone to run in power saving mode.

[0076] Specifically, after establishing a connection between the air conditioner and the mobile phone and obtaining the mobile phone's operating information in step 3, which includes the mobile phone's CPU usage percentage, the air conditioner then determines whether the user's body posture has changed within a first time interval. The first time interval is a preset duration used to determine whether the user has entered a sleep state and can be set based on 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. To maintain the user experience, a second control signal is sent to cause the mobile phone to operate in performance mode, ensuring 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 mobile phone's CPU usage percentage is checked. If the mobile phone's CPU usage percentage is greater than a preset percentage threshold, meaning that the user has entered a sleep state but the mobile phone is still performing important tasks or processing large amounts of data, the air conditioner then sends a second control signal to cause the mobile phone to continue operating in performance mode to ensure that these tasks can be successfully completed. On the other hand, if the CPU usage 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 events will occur:

[0078] Get the lock status of the application in the mobile phone from the running information;

[0079] Close non-locked applications on the phone to reduce the percentage of CPU usage on the phone, and determine whether the reduced percentage is no less than a preset percentage threshold;

[0080] If so, the application with the largest difference between the maximum and minimum historical CPU usage percentages is retained among the locked applications, and the remaining applications are closed to reduce the usage percentage of the mobile phone CPU.

[0081] Specifically, when the phone is still performing important tasks or processing a large amount of data, the application usage of the phone can be optimized, and the locked state of the application generally refers to the state of the application running in the background. If some applications are locked, it means that they are likely to be frequently used by the user, or continuously running in the background to perform important tasks. For example, when the user is usually listening to music, the music playing software is usually locked, and when the background task is cleared with one key, the task in the locked state is not cleared. The application in the unlocked state can be inactive, or the application that the user does not need to use at present, such as 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, reduce system burden, and thus improve overall efficiency and reduce power consumption. Therefore, when the CPU usage ratio of the phone is not less than a preset ratio threshold, the applications in the unlocked state in the phone are first cleared, the CPU usage ratio is recalculated, and if the CPU usage ratio is still greater than the ratio threshold, among the applications in the locked state, the running information is checked, and the application with the largest difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the historical CPU usage ratio is selected for retention. For example, the CPU usage ratio of a certain video editing application is 1% when it is opened, and the CPU usage ratio of the video editing application is 70% when it is used for video editing. The difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the historical CPU usage ratio of the video editing application is 69%, which ensures that the application can obtain sufficient performance, and the applications that are high in performance requirements or are important to user experience are preferentially retained. The remaining applications are closed, which helps to reduce the burden of the CPU, thereby reducing power consumption, reducing unnecessary calculation burden, and optimizing system resource allocation.

[0082] Further, in the midday period and the night period, the first time interval of the midday period is less than the first time interval of the night period.

[0083] Specifically, usually the user is active in the midday period and frequently uses the phone, and the body posture changes more. The body posture of the user is immediately re-timed after the change. The user is generally in a resting state at night, and the body posture changes less, that is, the frequency of the body posture change of the user is smaller. A longer first time interval is needed for effectively detecting whether the user is in a sleep state to prevent the user from being directly determined to enter the sleep state due to the low frequency of the body posture change of the user at night. Therefore, the first time interval of the night period needs to be longer than the first time interval of the midday 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 screen of the mobile phone according to the spatial position and the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is located, including:

[0085] A first critical temperature value in the space range where the air conditioner is located is set, and the locked state of the application in the mobile phone is obtained from the running 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 range 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 in the space where the air conditioner is located is higher than the first critical temperature value and the user's spatial location 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 level and close applications in the unlocked 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, running apps on a phone can cause it to heat up, and the ambient temperature can also affect the phone's temperature. High temperatures significantly impact battery life, and prolonged use of the device in high temperatures can degrade battery performance. The critical temperature setting should ensure that action is taken before the temperature begins to affect the phone. When the temperature in the air conditioner's space exceeds the set critical temperature, and the user's location is within the air conditioner's coverage area, i.e., while the user is using the phone, the screen brightness will be adjusted. Adjusting the screen brightness maintains the user experience while reducing heat generation and preventing any impact on phone performance and battery life.

[0090] If the user is outside the air conditioner's coverage area (i.e., not using their phone), the air conditioner sends a signal to the phone, setting the screen brightness to minimum and closing any unlocked apps. This reduces power consumption, prevents overheating, and ensures device safety at higher temperatures. When the temperature is within the normal range (i.e., no higher than the first critical temperature), the screen brightness remains unchanged, ensuring a normal user experience and avoiding unnecessary brightness adjustments.

[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] Among them, T represents the temperature value in the space where the air conditioner is currently located, T th1 Indicates 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 phone can adjust, L min Indicates the lowest brightness that the current 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 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 The temperature value T in the space where the air conditioner is located when the screen brightness is adjusted to the lowest is 25. 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 comprises:

[0096] Setting a second critical temperature value within the space where the air conditioner is located;

[0097] If the user's spatial location is within the space where the air conditioner is located, 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 sends a third control signal to the mobile phone based on 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;

[0098] If the user's spatial location is outside the space 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 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 phone's heat and avoid affecting the phone's battery. Adjusting the screen refresh rate can prevent the phone's temperature from rising further. A second critical temperature value is set to determine when the space temperature reaches or exceeds this value, and the phone's screen refresh rate 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, controlling the phone to reduce the screen refresh rate, thereby avoiding overheating of the device at higher temperatures and ensuring stable operation of the device. The reduced refresh rate will reduce the frequency of screen updates, thereby reducing power consumption and heat generation.

[0100] When the user is outside the air conditioner's spatial range (i.e., when the user is not using their phone), and the temperature in the air conditioner's space is at least a second critical temperature, the air conditioner will send a third control signal to the phone, setting the phone's refresh rate to its lowest setting. This reduces heat generation without sacrificing user experience. In this embodiment, the second critical temperature is lower than the first critical temperature, meaning the phone's screen refresh rate is prioritized over screen brightness. Changes in screen brightness are more noticeable to the user than changes in refresh rate, and thus have 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 α 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 50Hz.

[0105] Preferably, the mobile phone also includes an automatic brightness adjustment mode;

[0106] When adjusting the brightness of your phone in automatic brightness adjustment mode:

[0107] Record the first brightness value of the mobile phone at this time;

[0108] The air conditioner sets a 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 among the boundary values ​​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 phone will adjust the brightness of the phone screen according to the user's environment. However, its perception range is limited and may not accurately reflect the overall brightness of the user's environment, which may lead to poor physical examination of the user. The air conditioner can use its larger range of sensors (such as light intensity sensors) to detect changes in indoor light and 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 serves as the benchmark for subsequent comparisons. The air conditioner sets a brightness adjustment range based on the detected light intensity. For example, if the air conditioner detects moderate light intensity, it can set a range of 200 to 400 brightness units. This range is based on the air conditioner's comprehensive assessment of the light intensity 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 phone will maintain this brightness value; if the "first brightness value" is outside the range (for example, 450), the phone will adjust the brightness to the boundary value of the adjustment range (400 in this example), selecting the boundary value closest to the "first brightness value". This ensures that the phone's brightness 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.
