[0034] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:

[0035] S11, when the smart door lock associated with the air conditioner is activated, the air conditioner obtains clothing information of the first target user.

[0036] S12: The air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing information of the first target user.

[0037] S13, when it is determined that there is no user in the room where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to perform a shutdown operation at a target shutdown time.

[0038] In this solution, the air conditioner is associated with a smart door lock. Specifically, when the smart door lock associated with the air conditioner is activated, the air conditioner can obtain the clothing information of the first target user. Here, the first target user is the user in the room where the air conditioner is located. In an optimized solution, if there are multiple users in the room where the air conditioner is located, the time of leaving home for each user is predicted, and the user who leaves home the latest is determined as the first target user. In this way, the first target user can be accurately determined. The air conditioner can also obtain the clothing information of the first target user in the following way: control the image sensing device associated with the air conditioner to capture the image of the first target user to obtain an image capture result; the air conditioner extracts the clothing features of the first target user from the image capture result as the clothing information of the first target user. Among them, the clothing information includes color features, material features, style features, etc. In this way, the clothing information of the first target user can be accurately acquired.

[0039] Furthermore, the air conditioner can determine the target shutdown time of the air conditioner based on the clothing information of the first target user. Specifically, the air conditioner determines the target shutdown time of the air conditioner based on the clothing information of the first target user, including: the air conditioner determines the clothing type of the first target user based on the clothing information of the first target user; the air conditioner determines the target shutdown time of the air conditioner based on the clothing type and the historical control information of the air conditioner. In this way, the target shutdown time determined in this way is more in line with the first target user's clothing and the historical control rules of the air conditioner, and the target shutdown time is accurately determined.

[0040] Furthermore, after the air conditioner determines the target shutdown time, the air conditioner can be controlled to determine whether there is a user in the room where it is located. Specifically, the air conditioner can determine whether there is a user in the room where it is located through its associated infrared sensor device, and when there is no user in the room where it is located, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to perform a shutdown operation at the target shutdown time.

[0041] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted. When the smart door lock associated with the air conditioner is activated, the clothing information of the first target user is obtained; thereby, the target shutdown time of the air conditioner is determined according to the clothing information of the first target user; and then, when it is determined that there is no user in the room where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner is controlled to perform a shutdown operation at the target shutdown time. In this way, the target shutdown time of the air conditioner can be accurately determined in combination with the clothing information of the first target user, so that the air conditioner can be controlled to perform a shutdown operation at the target shutdown time, thereby more energy-savingly controlling the shutdown of the air conditioner, and also avoiding the occurrence of the air conditioner being shut down by mistake, thereby meeting the user's control needs for the air conditioner.

[0042] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a target shutdown time provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 As shown, optionally, in S12, the air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing information of the first target user, including:

[0043] S21, the air conditioner determines the clothing type of the first target user according to the clothing information of the first target user.

[0044] S22, the air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing type and the historical control information of the air conditioner.

[0045] In this solution, the clothing information of the first target user includes clothing color features, clothing material features, and clothing style features. In this way, the air conditioner can determine the clothing type of the first target user in combination with the clothing information of the first target user. Among them, clothing types include home type, leisure type, formal type, sports type, etc. In this way, the clothing type of the first target user can be accurately determined in combination with the clothing information of the first target user.

[0046] Furthermore, after determining the clothing type of the first target user, the air conditioner can extract the historical control information of the air conditioner from the historical operation database of the air conditioner. Here, the historical control information includes the control information of the air conditioner by different users in the historical time period and the correlation between the clothing types when different users sent the control information in the historical time period. In this way, after obtaining the historical control information, the air conditioner can determine the target shutdown time of the air conditioner in combination with the clothing type and the historical control information of the air conditioner. In this way, the target shutdown time can be accurately determined.

[0047] Optionally, in S21, the air conditioner determines the clothing type of the first target user according to the clothing information of the first target user, including:

[0048] The air conditioner extracts material features and / or style features of the clothing from the clothing information.

[0049] The air conditioner determines the clothing type that matches the material characteristics and / or style characteristics of the clothing as the clothing type of the first target user.

[0050] In this solution, the air conditioner can pre-store the association between the material characteristics and / or style characteristics of the clothing and the clothing type. In this way, after the material characteristics and / or style characteristics of the clothing are extracted from the clothing information, the clothing type that matches the material characteristics and / or style characteristics of the clothing can be used as the clothing type of the first target user according to the pre-stored association relationship. In this way, the clothing type of the first target user can be accurately determined.

[0051] Optionally, in S22, the air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing type and historical control information of the air conditioner, including:

[0052] The air conditioner extracts one or more historical shutdown times matching the clothing types from the historical control information.

[0053] The air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to one or more historical shutdown times.

[0054] In this solution, the historical control information includes the control information of the air conditioner by different users in the historical time period and the association between the clothing types when different users send the control information in the historical time period. In this way, the air conditioner can extract one or more control information of the air conditioner by the first target user that matches the clothing type of the first target user from the historical control information. Here, the one or more control information of the air conditioner by the first target user includes one or more historical shutdown times of the air conditioner by the first target user. In this way, the historical shutdown time of the air conditioner by the first target user can be accurately matched in the historical control information.

[0055] Further, the air conditioner can determine the target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to one or more historical shutdown times. In one case, if the air conditioner extracts only one historical shutdown time, the historical shutdown time can be used as the target shutdown time of the air conditioner. In another case, if the air conditioner extracts multiple historical shutdown times, the air conditioner can use the middle time of multiple historical shutdown times as the target shutdown time of the air conditioner. For example, if the multiple historical shutdown times obtained are 10:00 and 10:30, 10:15 can be used as the target shutdown time of the air conditioner. In an optimized solution, the delay time can also be pre-set, and the target shutdown time of the air conditioner can be determined according to the historical shutdown time and the delay time. As an example, the delay time is 30 minutes. Specifically, according to the historical shutdown time and the delay time, the target shutdown time of the air conditioner is determined, including: the air conditioner can use the interval time between the target shutdown time and the historical shutdown time as the delay time. For example, if the historical shutdown time is 10:00 and the delay time is 30 minutes, the target shutdown time can be determined to be 10:30. With this solution, the target shutdown time of the air conditioner can be accurately determined in a variety of ways.

[0056] Figure 3 is another schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 3 As shown, after controlling the air conditioner to perform the shutdown operation at the target shutdown time, it also includes:

[0057] S31, the air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner.

[0058] S32, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to maintain the shutdown state within the target shutdown time.

[0059] In this solution, in order to accurately determine the time that the air conditioner maintains the shutdown state to achieve energy-saving control of the air conditioner, the air conditioner can determine the target shutdown time of the air conditioner. Specifically, the air conditioner determines the target shutdown time of the air conditioner, including: the air conditioner obtains the clothing information of the second target user. The air conditioner determines the target shutdown time of the air conditioner based on the clothing information of the second target user. In this way, the target shutdown time of the air conditioner can be accurately determined. Furthermore, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to maintain the shutdown state within the target shutdown time. With this solution, it is possible to effectively ensure that the air conditioner maintains the shutdown state within the target shutdown time, avoid energy waste caused by the air conditioner automatically starting up in advance when the user has not returned home, and meet the user's energy-saving control needs for the air conditioner.

[0060] Optionally, in S31, the air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner, including:

[0061] The air conditioner obtains clothing information of the second target user.

[0062] The air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing information of the second target user.

[0063] In this solution, the air conditioner can obtain the clothing information of the second target user. Here, the second target user is the home user who returns home first. As an example, the air conditioner can infer the home user who returns home first through the startup information of its associated smart door lock, and use it as the second target user. Specifically, the air conditioner can also obtain the clothing information of the second target user through its associated image acquisition device. In this way, the clothing information of the second target user can be accurately acquired. Furthermore, the air conditioner determines the target shutdown time of the air conditioner based on the clothing information of the second target user, including the air conditioner determining the clothing type of the second target user based on the clothing information of the second target user. The air conditioner determines the target shutdown time of the air conditioner based on the clothing type of the second target user. In this way, the target shutdown time of the air conditioner can be accurately determined in combination with the clothing type of the second target user, providing an accurate data basis for the energy-saving control of the air conditioner.

[0064] Optionally, the air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to clothing information of the second target user, including:

[0065] The air conditioner determines the clothing type of the second target user according to the clothing information of the second target user.

[0066] The air conditioner determines a target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing type of the second target user.

[0067] In this solution, the clothing information of the second target user includes clothing color features, clothing material features, and clothing style features. In this way, the air conditioner can determine the clothing type of the second target user in combination with the clothing information of the second target user. Among them, clothing types include home type, leisure type, formal type, sports type, etc. In this way, the clothing type of the second target user can be accurately determined in combination with the clothing information of the second target user.

[0068] Furthermore, after determining the clothing type of the second target user, the air conditioner can determine the target shutdown time of the air conditioner in combination with the clothing type of the second target user. Specifically, the air conditioner can pre-store the shutdown time corresponding to different clothing types. As an example, if the clothing type is a formal type, the corresponding shutdown time is 8 hours; if the clothing type is a home type, the corresponding shutdown time is 30 minutes. In this way, the air conditioner can accurately match the target shutdown time of the air conditioner in combination with the clothing type of the second target user and the pre-stored correspondence. In this way, accurate determination of the target shutdown time can be achieved.
