[0002] In a typical nighttime sleep cycle, a person's body temperature slowly decreases, remains low, and then slowly rises again just before waking up in the early morning.

[0003] In the related art, a sleep mode button is provided on the remote control button of the air conditioner, and the user can press the sleep mode button before falling asleep. In response to the sleep mode button being pressed, the air conditioner automatically executes a pre-stored sleep temperature curve to adjust the temperature according to the sleep temperature curve after the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature. However, if the set temperature is not set appropriately, a comfortable sleeping temperature cannot be provided to the user.

[0004] Therefore, how to set a more appropriate set temperature to provide users with a more comfortable sleeping temperature is one of the problems that need to be solved urgently in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present disclosure proposes a sleep control method, an electronic device, a storage medium, and a computer program product, so that a more appropriate set temperature can be set to provide a more comfortable sleeping temperature for the user.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the calculation step includes: obtaining the current set temperature and wind speed of the air conditioner; obtaining the outlet height representing the height of the air outlet of the air conditioner from the ground of the sleeping room; obtaining the positions of the air conditioner and the bed and the area of ​​the room; and calculating the second temperature based on the current set temperature, the wind speed, the outlet height, the positions of the air conditioner and the bed, and the area.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the setting step includes: calculating the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature; determining whether the absolute value of the temperature difference is less than a threshold; if it is determined that the absolute value is less than the threshold, maintaining the current set temperature of the air conditioner.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the setting step also includes: if it is judged that the absolute value is greater than the threshold, then determining whether the second temperature is lower than the first temperature; if it is judged that the second temperature is lower than the first temperature, then adjusting the current set temperature of the air conditioner to the first set temperature, wherein the first set temperature is higher than the current set temperature; if it is judged that the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, then adjusting the current set temperature of the air conditioner to the second set temperature, wherein the second set temperature is lower than the current set temperature.

In this way, since the set temperature of the air conditioner is set based on the outer surface temperature and the air temperature of the clothing system, the present invention takes into account the parameters that affect the temperature, such as the clothing system used by the user for sleeping and the height of the bed, when setting the set temperature of the air conditioner. Compared with the prior art that does not take these parameters into consideration, the present invention can set a set temperature that better matches the outer surface temperature and air temperature of the clothing system, and thus can set a more appropriate set temperature to provide the user with a more comfortable sleeping temperature.

[0042] Various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent elements with the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise specified.

[0043] The word “exemplary” is used exclusively herein to mean “serving as an example, example, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0044] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present disclosure, numerous specific details are given in the following specific embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure can also be implemented without certain specific details. In some examples, methods, means, components and circuits well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the subject matter of the present disclosure.

[0045] Figure 1 A flow chart of a sleep control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The sleep control method can be applied to an air conditioner. In other words, the sleep control method can be performed by the air conditioner. The operating modes of the air conditioner may include a cooling mode for lowering the indoor temperature, a heating mode for raising the indoor temperature, a dehumidification mode for removing indoor moisture to keep the indoor air dry and comfortable, and a sleep mode for ensuring sleep comfort and reducing energy waste. Of course, the air conditioner may also include other modes in the prior art, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0046] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the room where the user sleeps is equipped with an air conditioner. Fig.10 As shown, the remote controller of the air conditioner (i.e., the air conditioner remote controller) is provided with at least a cooling button, a heating button, a dehumidifying button, and a sleep button. In response to one of these buttons being operated, such as being pressed / touched, the air conditioner operates in a mode corresponding to the operated button. For example, in response to the cooling button being pressed, the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode; in response to the heating button being pressed, the air conditioner operates in the heating mode.

[0047] When the air conditioner is in sleep mode, the air conditioner can Figure 1 The sleep control method shown in the figure is to set the set temperature of the air conditioner, so it can be executed in response to the air conditioner starting to operate in the sleep mode, that is, in response to the sleep mode of the air conditioner being turned on. Figure 1 Therefore, it is possible to detect in real time whether the sleep mode of the air conditioner is turned on. Once it is detected that the sleep mode of the air conditioner is turned on, the sleep control method can be executed. Figure 1 The sleep control method shown is to set the set temperature of the air conditioner.

[0048] The air conditioner can determine whether to start the mode corresponding to the pressed button according to whether the corresponding button set on the remote controller is pressed. Therefore, it is possible to detect whether the sleep mode is started by detecting whether the sleep button set on the remote controller is pressed. Of course, any other suitable method in the prior art can also be used to detect whether the sleep mode of the air conditioner is turned on, which will not be described in detail in this disclosure.

[0049] When it is detected that the sleep button set on the remote controller is pressed, it is detected that the sleep mode of the air conditioner is turned on, and in response to this, the sleep mode can be executed. Figure 1 The sleep control method shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the sleep control method may include the following steps:

[0050] In step S110 (corresponding to an acquisition step), a first temperature T1 representing the temperature of the outer surface of the clothing system for sleep is acquired.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bedding system refers to the bedding and clothing required for human sleep. For example, the bedding system may include but is not limited to beds, mattresses, sheets, pillows, coverings (such as quilts and blankets) and pajamas. Among them, the material of the bedding system has a great influence on the warmth and coolness, and bedding systems of different materials may be different in terms of coolness and warmth. For example, for quilts, they include summer cool quilts, air-conditioning quilts, silk quilts, soybean fiber quilts, pure cotton quilts, down quilts, wool quilts, etc. Summer cool quilts, air-conditioning quilts, and very thin pure cotton quilts have higher coolness, down quilts, wool quilts, and very thick pure cotton quilts have higher warmth, and silk quilts and soybean fiber quilts have certain coolness and warmth.

[0052] Therefore, bedding systems made of different materials have different effects on the user's temperature, and the user's temperature has an impact on the required sleeping temperature. Therefore, when setting the set temperature of the air conditioner, the temperature of the outer surface of the bedding system can be considered. To this end, the temperature of the outer surface of the bedding system, that is, the first temperature T1 mentioned above, can be obtained in response to turning on the sleep mode of the air conditioner.

[0053] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, step S110 for obtaining the first temperature T1 may include:

[0054] In step S201 , the optimum average skin temperature of all users in a room used for sleeping is determined.

[0055] In this embodiment, Figure 6 For example, the optimal skin temperature for each user in the room can be determined, and then the average of the optimal skin temperatures for these users can be calculated to calculate the optimal average skin temperature for all users. For example, suppose there are 3 users in the room and the optimal skin temperatures for each user are T 皮1 , T 皮2 and T 皮3 , then T 平均 =(T1+T2+T3) / 3, where T 平均 Indicates the optimal average skin temperature.

[0056] In step S202, the average heat dissipation of all users is determined.

[0057] In this embodiment, Figure 6 For example, we can determine the heat dissipation of each user in the room, and then calculate the average heat dissipation of these users to calculate the average heat dissipation of all users. For example, suppose there are 3 users in the room and the heat dissipation of each user is Q1, Q2 and Q3 respectively, then Q 平均=(Q1+Q2+Q3) / 3, where Q 平均 Indicates the average heat dissipation.

[0058] In step S203, the total thermal resistance of the clothing system is calculated according to the material of the clothing system.

[0059] In this embodiment, bedding systems of different materials have corresponding total thermal resistances. Once the material of the bedding system is determined, the total thermal resistance corresponding to the material can be determined based on the corresponding relationship between the material and the total thermal resistance. Therefore, the material of the bedding system can be obtained, and then the total thermal resistance corresponding to the obtained material can be determined, and the total thermal resistance R of the bedding system can be calculated.

[0060] In step S204, the first temperature T1 is calculated according to the optimal average skin temperature, the average heat dissipation and the total thermal resistance.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first temperature T1 can be calculated according to the heat balance equation using the optimal average skin temperature, the average heat dissipation and the total thermal resistance of the clothing system. The heat balance equation includes: T1 = T 被内 -Q 被子 *R, T 被内 =T 平均 , Q 被子 =Q 平均 Therefore, as long as the optimal average skin temperature T is determined 平均 , average heat dissipation Q 平均 And the total thermal resistance R of the clothing system, we can first calculate the average heat dissipation Q 平均 The optimal average skin temperature T is then calculated by multiplying the total thermal resistance R of the clothing system 平均 The first temperature T1 can be calculated by calculating the difference between the product and the first temperature T1, thereby obtaining the first temperature T1.

[0062] After the first temperature is acquired, step S130 may be performed.

[0063] In step S130 (corresponding to a calculation step), a second temperature representing the air temperature corresponding to the height of the bed used for sleeping is calculated.

[0064] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the room where the user sleeps is also equipped with a bed for sleeping, and the height of the top surface of the bed (i.e., the side for the user to lie on) from the ground of the room is the height of the bed, i.e. Figure 6The H2 indicated in the figure, at different heights H2, the temperature of the wind discharged through the air outlet of the air conditioner for adjusting the indoor temperature, that is, the air temperature, is different. Different air temperatures have different effects on the temperature of the user, and the temperature of the user has an impact on the sleeping temperature required by the user. Therefore, when setting the set temperature of the air conditioner, the air temperature can be considered. To this end, the air temperature, that is, the second temperature T2 mentioned above, can be obtained in response to turning on the sleep mode of the air conditioner.

[0065] In one possible implementation, Figure 5 As shown, step S130 for calculating the second temperature T2 may include:

[0066] In step S501, the current set temperature and wind speed of the air conditioner are obtained.

[0067] In this embodiment, in response to the air conditioner turning on the sleep mode, the air conditioner operates in the sleep mode at a certain set temperature and a certain wind speed. A corresponding method can be used to obtain the current set temperature and wind speed of the air conditioner operating in the sleep mode.

[0068] In one possible implementation, in response to the air conditioner turning on the sleep mode, the air conditioner can report the current set temperature and wind speed of the air conditioner to the smart home system that includes the air conditioner, and the server of the smart home system can store the set temperature and wind speed in a storage device. Therefore, the current set temperature and wind speed can be obtained in the following manner: when the current set temperature and wind speed are to be obtained, the air conditioner can send a request for obtaining the set temperature and wind speed to the server, and in response to the request, the server sends the set temperature and wind speed to the air conditioner, and accordingly, the air conditioner can receive the set temperature and wind speed returned by the server, thereby obtaining the current set temperature and wind speed.

[0069] In one possible implementation, in response to the air conditioner turning on the sleep mode, the air conditioner can store the current set temperature and wind speed to a storage device. Therefore, the current set temperature and wind speed can be obtained in the following manner: when the current set temperature and wind speed are to be obtained, the air conditioner can access the storage device to read the stored set temperature and wind speed from the storage device, thereby obtaining the current set temperature and wind speed.

[0070] It should be noted that the present embodiment does not limit the method for obtaining the current set temperature and wind speed. The above two methods of obtaining are only used for example description. Any suitable method in the prior art can also be used to obtain the current set temperature and wind speed of the air conditioner running in sleep mode. This embodiment will not go into details.

[0071] In step S502, the air outlet height representing the height of the air outlet of the air conditioner from the floor of the sleeping room is obtained.

[0072] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the height of the air outlet of the air conditioner from the ground is the air outlet height, that is, Figure 6 The air outlet height H1 indicated in the figure can be obtained by a corresponding method.

[0073] In a possible implementation, the air outlet height H1 may be collected in advance and stored in a storage device. Therefore, when the air outlet height H1 is to be obtained, the storage device may be accessed to read the stored air outlet height H1, thereby obtaining the air outlet height H1. For example, Fig.10 As shown, the user can input the air outlet height H1 as 2 meters via a parameter setting screen displayed on a terminal such as a mobile phone, thereby pre-collecting the air outlet height H1 with a value of 2 meters.

[0074] In a possible implementation, a distance sensor may be arranged at a corresponding position of the air outlet of the air conditioner. When the air outlet height H1 is to be obtained, the distance sensor may be used to measure the height of the air outlet from the ground. The measured value of the distance sensor is the air outlet height H1. In this embodiment, the type and arrangement position of the distance sensor are not limited. Any sensor that can detect the distance between the air outlet and the ground can be used as the distance sensor.

[0075] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the method for obtaining the air outlet height H1. The above two methods are only used for illustration. Any suitable method in the prior art can also be used to obtain the air outlet height H1, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0076] In step S503, the positions of the air conditioner and the bed and the area of ​​the room are obtained.

[0077] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, there is a positional relationship between the air conditioner and the bed in the room, and the position of the air conditioner and the bed can be characterized by the positional relationship between the air blown out of the air outlet of the air conditioner and the bed. Among them, the positional relationship between the air blown out of the air outlet and the bed may include but is not limited to "blowing towards the bed", "blowing away from the bed", and "blowing to the side of the bed". "Blowing towards the bed" means that the air outlet of the air conditioner is in the same direction as the bed, "blowing away from the bed" means that the air outlet of the air conditioner is in the opposite direction to the bed, and "blowing to the side of the bed" means that the air outlet of the air conditioner is in the opposite direction to the bed, and "blowing to the side of the bed" means that the air outlet of the air conditioner is in a certain angle with the bed.

[0078] In a possible implementation, the positions of the air conditioner and the bed can be collected in advance, and the collected positions of the air conditioner and the bed can be stored in a storage device. Therefore, when the positions of the air conditioner and the bed are to be obtained, the storage device can be accessed to read the stored positions of the air conditioner and the bed, thereby obtaining the positions of the air conditioner and the bed. For example, Fig.10 As shown, the user can input the position of the air conditioner and the bed via the parameter setting screen displayed by a terminal such as a mobile phone. For example, a position can be selected from "blowing towards the bed", "blowing behind the bed" and "blowing to the side of the bed" displayed in the drop-down list, thereby pre-collecting the position of the air conditioner and the bed.

[0079] In a possible implementation, corresponding sensors such as distance sensors or angle sensors can be arranged at corresponding positions of the air outlet of the air conditioner. When obtaining the positions of the air conditioner and the bed, the arranged sensors can be used to measure the distance or angle between the air outlet of the air conditioner and the bed. The positions of the air conditioner and the bed can be obtained by performing corresponding calculations based on the measured values ​​of the arranged sensors. Among them, this embodiment does not limit the type and arrangement position of the sensors arranged for obtaining the positions of the air conditioner and the bed. As long as the sensors can detect the measured values ​​that can be used to obtain the positions of the air conditioner and the bed, they can be used as sensors arranged for obtaining the positions of the air conditioner and the bed. Of course, the sensors arranged for obtaining the positions of the air conditioner and the bed can also be arranged at corresponding positions of the bed.

[0080] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the method of obtaining the positions of the air conditioner and the bed. The above two methods are only used for illustration. Any suitable method in the prior art can also be used to obtain the positions of the air conditioner and the bed, which will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0081] In a possible implementation, the area of ​​the room may be collected in advance and stored in a storage device. Therefore, when the area of ​​the room is to be obtained, the storage device may be accessed to read the stored area of ​​the room, thereby obtaining the area of ​​the room. Fig.10 As shown, the user can input the area of ​​the room as 15 square meters via the parameter setting screen displayed by a terminal such as a mobile phone, thereby pre-collecting the area of ​​the room with a value of 15 square meters.

[0082] In one possible implementation, corresponding ranging sensors can be arranged at corresponding positions of the air outlet of the air conditioner. When the area of ​​the room is to be obtained, the ranging sensors can be used to measure the length and width of the room. The area of ​​the room can be obtained by performing corresponding calculations based on the measured length and width.

[0083] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the method for obtaining the area of ​​the room. The above two methods are only used for illustration. Any suitable method in the prior art can also be used to obtain the area of ​​the room, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0084] In step S504, the second temperature is calculated based on the current set temperature, the wind speed, the air outlet height, the positions of the air conditioner and the bed, and the area.

[0085] In this embodiment, the second temperature T2 can be calculated according to the air-conditioning blowing jet model using the acquired set temperature, wind speed, air outlet height H1, the position of the air conditioner and the bed, and the area of ​​the room. The input of the air-conditioning blowing jet model is the set temperature, wind speed, air outlet height H1, the position of the air conditioner and the bed, and the area of ​​the room, and the output of the air-conditioning blowing jet model is the second temperature T2.

[0086] In a possible implementation, the air-conditioning blowing jet model can be pre-built with corresponding sample data, the constructed air-conditioning blowing jet model can be tested with corresponding test data, and the constructed air-conditioning blowing jet model can be adjusted according to the test results until the accuracy of the model reaches a threshold. In this way, when calculating the second temperature, it is only necessary to obtain the set temperature, wind speed, air outlet height, position of the air conditioner and bed, and area of ​​the room, and input these data into the pre-built and tested air-conditioning blowing jet model. The output value of the model is the second temperature T2, and the second temperature T2 can be calculated accordingly.

[0087] In a possible implementation, the air-conditioning jet model is a function that can characterize the relationship between the set temperature, wind speed, air outlet height, the position of the air conditioner and the bed, and the area of ​​the room and the second temperature. When calculating the second temperature, the acquired set temperature, wind speed, air outlet height, the position of the air conditioner and the bed, and the area of ​​the room can be used to calculate the second temperature T2 using the function. 射流 =f(set temperature T set , air outlet height H1, wind speed, position of air conditioner and bed, area of ​​the room).

[0088] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the calculation method of the second temperature. The above two calculation methods are only used for illustration. The second temperature can also be calculated by any suitable method in the prior art, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0089] After the second temperature T2 is calculated, step S150 may be performed.

[0090] In step S150 (corresponding to a setting step), a set temperature of the air conditioner is set according to the first temperature and the second temperature.

[0091] In this embodiment, the set temperature of the air conditioner can be set according to the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2 in accordance with the setting principle that the temperature when the air outlet of the air conditioner blows to the height of the bed is thermally balanced and the user's skin temperature is close to the optimal skin temperature for sleep. In this way, the set temperature set according to the setting principle will make the user's skin temperature as close to the optimal skin temperature for sleep as possible, so that a more appropriate set temperature can be set, thereby providing the user with a more comfortable sleeping temperature.

[0092] In a possible implementation, the set temperature of the air conditioner can be set according to the temperature difference between the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2 according to the above setting principle. In a possible implementation, the set temperature of the air conditioner can be set according to the above setting principle according to the statistics such as the variance, standard deviation, and covariance between the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2.

[0093] According to this embodiment, after the sleep mode of the air conditioner is turned on, the outer surface temperature of the clothing system used by the user for sleeping is obtained and the air temperature corresponding to the height of the bed used by the user for sleeping is calculated, and then the set temperature of the air conditioner is set according to the outer surface temperature and the air temperature. In this way, since the set temperature of the air conditioner is set based on the outer surface temperature and the air temperature of the clothing system, this embodiment takes into account the parameters that affect the temperature, such as the clothing system used by the user for sleeping and the height of the bed, when setting the set temperature of the air conditioner. Compared with the prior art that does not take these parameters into consideration, this embodiment can set a set temperature that is more matched with the outer surface temperature and the air temperature of the clothing system, and therefore can set a more appropriate set temperature to provide the user with a more comfortable sleeping temperature.

[0094] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the optimal average skin temperature for all users in the room used for sleep is determined (i.e., Figure 2 Step S201) in the embodiment may include the following steps:

[0095] In step S301, the gender, age and current season of all the users are obtained.

[0096] In this embodiment, the gender of the user may include male and / or female, and the age of the user may include infants, teenagers, adults, the elderly, and any combination of these ages, such as adults + infants, the elderly + infants, teenagers + infants, adults + the elderly, etc. The current season may include spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

[0097] In a possible implementation, the gender and age of each user in the room can be collected in advance, and the collected gender and age can be stored in a storage device. Therefore, when the gender and age are to be obtained, the storage device can be accessed to read the stored gender and age, thereby obtaining the gender and age of all users. For example, Fig.10 As shown, the user can input the gender and age of each user through the parameter setting screen displayed by a terminal such as a mobile phone. Of course, the number of users can also be collected, thereby pre-collecting the gender, age and number of all users.

[0098] In a possible implementation, images of users in the room may be collected, and the collected images may be identified to determine the gender and age of the users in the images. Of course, the current season may be obtained based on the weather forecast of the day.

[0099] In a possible implementation, an audio control system may be arranged at a corresponding position of the air conditioner, and a voice command for inquiring the user's gender, age, and current season may be issued to the user through the audio control system, such as "Please tell the gender, age, and current season of each host", and the voice signals about gender, age, and season returned by all users in the room are collected, and the voice signals are analyzed to obtain the gender, age, and current season of all users. Of course, the air conditioner may communicate with the user's terminal with a voice system to obtain the user's gender, age, and current season through the voice system of the terminal, wherein the terminal may include but is not limited to a smart phone, a smart watch, a smart speaker, a smart desk lamp, etc.

[0100] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the method for obtaining gender, age and current season. The above-mentioned method is only used for example description. Any suitable method in the prior art can also be used to obtain gender, age and current season, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0101] In step S302, the optimal skin temperature for sleep of all the users is obtained by searching the first table using the gender, age and current season of all the users, wherein the first table records the association between users who are within the age range and belong to the corresponding gender in the corresponding season and their corresponding optimal skin temperature for sleep.

[0102] For example, if it is found that there is an adult male and an adult female in the room and it is summer, you can search Figure 9a According to the first table shown, it can be determined that the optimal skin temperature for summer sleep of the adult male is 29-31 degrees Celsius, and the optimal skin temperature for summer sleep of the adult female is 30-32 degrees Celsius.

[0103] In step S303, the average value of the acquired optimal sleeping skin temperatures is calculated to serve as the optimal average skin temperature.

[0104] In this embodiment, after the optimal sleeping skin temperatures of all users in the room are obtained, statistics calculation such as weighted average can be performed on these temperatures to calculate the optimal average skin temperature.

[0105] In one possible implementation, Figure 4 As shown, the average heat dissipation of all users is determined (ie, Figure 2 Step S202 in the method may include the following steps:

[0106] In step S401, the basal metabolic rate of all the users is calculated according to their respective genders, weights, ages, and heights using the human basal metabolic rate formula.

[0107] In this embodiment, any appropriate method can be used to obtain the gender, weight, age and height of all users in the room, obtain the human basal metabolic rate formula corresponding to each gender, substitute the obtained weight, age and height into the human basal metabolic rate formula corresponding to the obtained gender, and calculate to obtain the basal metabolic rate of each user. Among them, obtaining the gender, weight, age and height of the user is a prior art and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0108] Exemplarily, the formula for the basal metabolic rate of the human body for men is BMR=(10*weight in kg)+(6.25*height in cm)-(5*age)+5, and the formula for the basal metabolic rate of the human body for women is BMR=(10*weight in kg)+(6.25*height in cm)-(5*age)-161, where BMR is the basal metabolic rate of the human body, and the age of an adult is 40; the age of an elderly person is 70 years old; and the age of a child is 10 years old.

[0109] In step S402, the sleeping human body basal metabolic rate of each of the users is calculated according to the basal metabolic rate of each of the users.

[0110] In this embodiment, after calculating the human basal metabolic rate of each user, the human basal metabolic rate of each user during sleep can be calculated according to the relationship between the human basal metabolic rate and the human basal metabolic rate during sleep. Exemplarily, the human basal metabolic rate during sleep is equal to 85% to 90% of the human basal metabolic rate.

[0111] In step S403, the heat dissipation during sleep of all the users is calculated according to the basal metabolic rates of all the users during sleep.

[0112] In this embodiment, the sleep heat production of each user can be calculated according to the basal metabolic rate of each user during sleep, and then the sleep heat production can be converted into the heat dissipation during sleep. For example, the sleep heat production of the user is equal to the basal metabolic rate of the user during sleep divided by 24, and the heat dissipation during sleep of the user can be obtained by multiplying the sleep heat production by 1.162.

[0113] In step S404, an average of the heat dissipation of all the users during sleep is calculated as the average heat dissipation.

[0114] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation of all users during sleep may be added together, and then the sum may be divided by the number of users to obtain the average heat dissipation.

[0115] In a possible implementation, the total thermal resistance of the clothing system is calculated according to the material of the clothing system (ie, Figure 2 Step S203 in the method may include: obtaining the material of the bedding system; and obtaining the total thermal resistance of the bedding system by searching a second table using the material of the bedding system, wherein the second table records the correlation between the material of the bedding system and its corresponding total thermal resistance.

[0116] In this embodiment, the material of the bedding system can be obtained by any one or more of the following: obtaining the material selected by the user from the material of the bedding system in the displayed parameter setting screen; using an identification device to identify a tag set in the bedding system used for sleeping, wherein the tag carries information that can characterize the material of the bedding system; obtaining an image of the bedding system taken by the user, and identifying the material of the bedding system in the image; and obtaining the material of the bedding system whose usage frequency corresponding to the current season is higher than a threshold.

[0117] For example, Fig.10 As shown, the user can select bedding and sheets via the parameter setting screen displayed by a terminal such as a mobile phone, wherein the bedding includes blankets, summer quilts, multifunctional quilts, and down quilts; the sheets include bamboo mats, cowhide mats, and cotton and linen products. Therefore, the material of the bedding and sheets selected by the user can be obtained, that is, the material of the bedding system can be obtained.

[0118] For example, Fig.10 As shown, the user can use a device with a camera function, such as a mobile phone, to take pictures of the bedding and sheets, and recognize the taken images to obtain the bedding and sheets. Fig.10 The image recognition result in is duck down quilt + cotton fabric bed sheet.

[0119] For example, Fig.10As shown, for bedding and sheets with RFID tags, a device with NFC function, such as a mobile phone, can be used to obtain the material of the bedding system. Specifically, the mobile phone can be placed close to the bedding and sheets, and the mobile phone can read the material information stored in the RFID tag, thereby obtaining the material of the bedding and sheets.

[0120] For example, when bedding and bed sheets are not provided, the material of the bedding system that is used more frequently in the current season can be used as the material of the bedding system of this embodiment. Fig.10 As shown, when the current season is summer, the bedding and sheets are blanket + bamboo mat by default; when the current season is spring and autumn, the bedding and sheets are multi-functional quilt + cotton fabric sheets by default; when the current season is winter, the bedding and sheets are down quilt + cotton fabric sheets by default.

[0121] After obtaining the material of the clothing system in the above manner, you can Figure 9b By searching the total thermal resistance that matches the material in the second table shown, the total thermal resistance R of the clothing system can be obtained.

[0122] In one possible implementation, Figure 7 As shown, step S150 for setting the set temperature of the air conditioner may include the following steps:

[0123] In step S701 , the temperature difference between the first temperature T1 and the second temperature T2 is calculated.

[0124] In step S702, it is determined whether the absolute value of the temperature difference is less than a threshold value Th1.

[0125] In this embodiment, the absolute value of the temperature difference can be compared with the threshold value Th1. If the absolute value is less than the threshold value Th1, it means that at the current set temperature, the temperature of the air outlet of the air conditioner when it blows to the bed height has passed through thermal equilibrium, and the skin temperature of the user is close to the optimal skin temperature, which means that the current set temperature is appropriate. Therefore, there is no need to adjust the current set temperature, and step S706 can be executed. Otherwise, it means that at the current set temperature, the temperature of the air outlet of the air conditioner when it blows to the bed height has passed through thermal equilibrium, and the skin temperature of the user is not close to the optimal skin temperature, which means that the current set temperature is inappropriate. Therefore, the current set temperature needs to be adjusted, and step S703 can be executed.

[0126] In step S703, it is determined whether the second temperature T2 is lower than the first temperature T1.

[0127] In this embodiment, the second temperature T2 may be compared with the first temperature T1. If the second temperature T2 is lower than the first temperature T1, step S704 is executed; otherwise, step S705 is executed.

[0128] In step S704, the current set temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted to a first set temperature, wherein the first set temperature is greater than the current set temperature.

[0129] In step S705, the current set temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted to a second set temperature, wherein the second set temperature is lower than the current set temperature.

[0130] In this embodiment, if the second temperature T2 is lower than the first temperature T1, it means that at the current set temperature, the temperature of the air outlet of the air conditioner when blowing to the height of the bed has reached thermal equilibrium, and the skin temperature of the user is lower than the optimal skin temperature. Therefore, the current set temperature needs to be increased, so that the set temperature of the air conditioner can be increased from the current set temperature to the first set temperature. Otherwise, it means that at the current set temperature, the temperature of the air outlet of the air conditioner when blowing to the height of the bed has reached thermal equilibrium, and the skin temperature of the user is higher than the optimal skin temperature. Therefore, the current set temperature needs to be reduced, so that the set temperature of the air conditioner can be reduced from the current set temperature to the second set temperature.

[0131] In step S706, the current set temperature of the air conditioner is maintained.

[0132] In a possible implementation, the first set temperature is equal to the sum of the product of the absolute value and the first correction coefficient and the current set temperature. Exemplarily, the first correction coefficient is greater than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 10. It should be understood that the first correction coefficient is a room heat load correction coefficient, and by introducing the correction coefficient, the set temperature to be adjusted can be made more accurate.

[0133] In a possible implementation, the second set temperature is equal to the difference between the current set temperature and the product of the absolute value and the second correction coefficient. Exemplarily, the second correction coefficient is greater than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 10. It should be understood that the second correction coefficient is a room heat load correction coefficient. By introducing the second correction coefficient, the set temperature to be adjusted can be made more accurate.

[0134] It should be noted that the first correction coefficient may be equal to the second correction coefficient. Of course, it may also be less than the second correction coefficient, or it may be greater than the second correction coefficient. Any suitable coefficient within the above coefficient range can be used as the first correction coefficient and the second correction coefficient according to actual application requirements.

[0135] In a possible implementation, after the setting step, the control method may further include: determining the duration of the sleep mode; and adjusting the set temperature of the air conditioner according to the sleep temperature curve and the duration.

[0136] For example, Figure 8a As shown, if the air conditioner is in cooling operation, the timer can be started in response to turning on the sleep mode of the air conditioner. When the count value of the timer falls within the time interval [0,1] hours, the set temperature T after the setting of the set temperature is completed according to the above process is maintained. set If the timer count value falls within the time interval [1,2] hours, the set temperature is adjusted to (T set +1) degrees Celsius, when the timer count value falls within the time interval [2,7] hours, the set temperature is adjusted to (T set +2) degrees Celsius, when the timer count value falls within the time interval [7,10] hours, the set temperature is adjusted to (T set +1) degrees Celsius, if the timer count value exceeds 10 hours, adjust the set temperature to T set .

[0137] For example, Figure 8b As shown, if the air conditioner is running in heating mode, the timer can be started in response to turning on the sleep mode of the air conditioner. When the count value of the timer falls within the time interval [0,1] hours, the set temperature T after the setting of the set temperature is completed according to the above process is maintained. set If the timer count value falls within the time interval [1,2] hours, the set temperature is adjusted to (T set -1) degrees Celsius, when the timer count value falls within the time interval [2,7] hours, the set temperature is adjusted to (T set -2) degrees Celsius, when the timer count value falls within the time interval [7,10] hours, the set temperature is adjusted to (T set -1) degrees Celsius, if the timer count value exceeds 10 hours, adjust the set temperature to T set .

[0138] As a result, the air conditioner can be operated according to a more appropriate set temperature in accordance with the sleeping temperature curve, thereby providing a more comfortable sleeping temperature for the user.

[0139] For ease of understanding, combined Fig.11 The sleep control method of this embodiment is described in detail. Fig.11 As shown, the sleep control method may include the following steps:

[0140] In step S1001, after the sleep mode of the air conditioner is turned on, the result set by the user in the parameter setting screen is read.

[0141] In step S1002, the optimal average skin temperature of the user, namely Thumanskin, is determined based on the input age and gender characteristics. If there are multiple people in the room, the average value of the multiple people is calculated as the optimal average skin temperature.

[0142] In step S1003, the user's basal metabolic rate is calculated according to the human basal metabolic rate BMR formula.

[0143] In step S1004, according to the basal metabolic rate of the human body during sleep = 85% to 90% of the basal metabolic rate, heat production during sleep = BMR*0.85 / 24 (kcal / h), 1kcal / h = 1.162W, the heat dissipation during sleep qhuman body = BMR*0.85 / 24*1.162W is obtained; if there are multiple people in the room, the average heat dissipation of multiple people is calculated.

[0144] In step S1005, according to the input material of the bedding system (for example, bedding is a blanket, a summer quilt, a multifunctional quilt, etc.; a cool mat, a cotton and linen bed sheet, etc.); the default value of pajamas: summer short-sleeved pajamas, winter long-sleeved pajamas, the total thermal resistance R of the bedding system is obtained according to the second table.

[0145] In step S1006, according to the heat balance equation: qhuman body = qquilt, assume that Tquiltinside = Thuman skin, Tquiltoutsideoptimal = Tquiltinside - q*R, where Tquiltinside is the inner surface temperature of the bedding system, Tquiltoutsideoptimal is the optimal outer surface temperature of the bedding system, and output the optimal outer surface temperature of the bedding system Tquiltoutsideoptimal.

[0146] In step S1007, the optimum clothing outer surface temperature Tbeiouteroptimal is stored.

[0147] In step S1008, according to the air conditioning jet model, such as fjet=f(air conditioning set temperature, air outlet height, wind speed, air conditioning and bed position, room area), the temperature Tair_(bed height) corresponding to the bed height is calculated.

[0148] In step S1009, the temperature Tair_(bed height) corresponding to the bed height is stored.

[0149] In step S1010, it is determined whether the absolute value of the temperature difference between Tair_(bed height) and Touterbest is less than 1. If it is less than 1, step S1011 is executed, otherwise, step S1012 is executed.

[0150] In step S1011, the set temperature Tset of the air conditioner is maintained unchanged.

[0151] In step S1012, it is determined whether Tair_(bed height) is less than Touteroptimal. If yes, step S1013 is executed, otherwise, step S1014 is executed.

[0152] In step S1013, the air conditioning set temperature Tset=Tset+α*|ΔT|, where |ΔT|=|Tair_(bed height)-Toutsideoptimal|.

[0153] In step S1014, the air conditioner sets the temperature Tset=Tset-α*|ΔT|, where |ΔT|=|Tair_(bed height)-Toutsideoptimal|.

[0154] In step S1015 , the temperature is adjusted according to the sleep temperature curve and the duration of the sleep mode.

[0155] For the above steps S1001 to S1015, please refer to the above Figure 1-Figure 5 and Figure 7 The description will not be repeated here.

[0156] Therefore, the present invention controls the operation of the air conditioner through an algorithm to ensure that at the set temperature of the air conditioner, after the temperature of the air outlet of the air conditioner blows to the height of the bed through thermal equilibrium, the user's skin temperature is as close as possible to the user's optimal skin temperature for sleep.

[0157] When setting the set temperature of the air conditioner, the present disclosure takes into account various factors such as the area of ​​the room, the location of the air conditioner and the bed, the height of the bed, the material of the sleeping supplies, i.e., the bedding system, etc., and provides personalized customized sleeping environment adjustment solutions for different users, meeting the different needs of different groups such as infants, children, young people, middle-aged people, and the elderly in terms of sleep duration, difficulty, sleep time, etc. Therefore, the present disclosure can meet more personalized sleep needs.

[0158] Moreover, the present disclosure sets the operating mode of the air conditioner so that the temperature of the sleeping product is close to the sleeping temperature curve, which helps the user to fall asleep better and maintain a good sleeping state, thereby improving the sleep quality. In addition, the present disclosure can combine a variety of data for precise control, and can reduce energy waste while providing a comfortable sleeping environment for the user. In addition, the technical solution of the present disclosure can be applied to various places such as homes and nursing homes, and has a wide range of application scenarios.
