[0034] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 1 The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, which includes the following steps:

[0035] S11, in the case that the smart door lock associated with the air conditioner is started, the air conditioner acquires clothing information of a 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, in the case that it is determined that there is no user in the indoor space of the air conditioner, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to perform a shutdown operation at the target shutdown time.

[0038] In the present scheme, the air conditioner is associated with a smart door lock. Specifically, in the case that the smart door lock associated with the air conditioner is started, the air conditioner acquires clothing information of a first target user. Here, the first target user is a user in the indoor space of the air conditioner. In an optimized scheme, if there are multiple users in the indoor space of the air conditioner, the departure time of each user is predicted, and the user with the latest departure time is determined as the first target user. In this way, the accurate determination of the first target user can be achieved. The air conditioner can also acquire the clothing information of the first target user by the following way: controlling the image sensing device associated with the air conditioner to collect images of the first target user to obtain an image collection result; and extracting clothing features of the first target user from the image collection result as the clothing information of the first target user. The clothing information includes color features, material features, style features, etc. In this way, the accurate acquisition of the clothing information of the first target user can be achieved.

[0039] Further, the air conditioner can determine a target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing information of the first target user. Specifically, the air conditioner determines the target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing information of the first target user, including: the air conditioner determines the clothing type of the first target user according to the clothing information of the first target user; and the air conditioner determines the target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing type and historical control information of the air conditioner. In this way, the target shutdown time determined in this way is more in line with the dressing of the first target user and the historical control law of the air conditioner, and accurate determination of the target shutdown time is realized.

[0040] Further, after the air conditioner determines the target shutdown time, the air conditioner can control the air conditioner to determine whether there is a user in the indoor space where the air conditioner is located. Specifically, the air conditioner can determine whether there is a user in the indoor space where the air conditioner is located through the infrared sensing device associated with the air conditioner, and in the case that there is no user in the indoor space where the air conditioner is located, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to perform a shutdown operation at the target shutdown time.

[0041] By using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the clothing information of a first target user is acquired in the case that a smart door lock associated with the air conditioner is started; and then the target shutdown time of the air conditioner is determined according to the clothing information of the first target user; and then in the case that it is determined that there is no user in the indoor space 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 as to more energy-efficiently control the air conditioner to be shut down by controlling the air conditioner to perform a shutdown operation at the target shutdown time, while avoiding the situation that the air conditioner is mistakenly shut down, thereby meeting the control demand of the user for the air conditioner.

[0042] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a target shutdown time provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 12, optionally, S12, the air conditioner determines the 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 the target shutdown time of the air conditioner according to the clothing type and historical control information of the air conditioner.

[0045] In this scheme, 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. The clothing type includes 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] Further, the air conditioner can extract historical control information of the air conditioner from a historical operation database of the air conditioner after determining the clothing type of the first target user. Here, the historical control information includes control information of the air conditioner by different users in a historical time period and a correlation between the clothing type and the control information by different users in the historical time period. In this way, 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 after obtaining the historical control information. In this way, accurate determination of the target shutdown time can be achieved.

[0047] Optionally, 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 the material feature and / or style feature of the clothing from the clothing information.

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

[0050] In this solution, the air conditioner can pre-store the correlation between the material feature and / or style feature of the clothing and the clothing type. In this way, after extracting the material feature and / or style feature of the clothing from the clothing information, the air conditioner can determine the clothing type matching the material feature and / or style feature of the clothing as the clothing type of the first target user according to the pre-stored correlation. In this way, accurate determination of the clothing type of the first target user can be achieved.

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

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

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

[0054] In this solution, the historical control information includes control information of the air conditioner by different users in a historical time period and a correlation between the clothing type and the control information by different users 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 from the historical control information matching the clothing type of the first target user. 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 from the historical control information.

[0055] Further, the air conditioner can determine a 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 taken 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 take the middle time of the 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 taken as the target shutdown time of the air conditioner. In an optimized scheme, a delay duration can also be set in advance, and the target shutdown time of the air conditioner can be determined according to the historical shutdown time and the delay duration. As an example, the delay duration is 30 minutes. Specifically, the target shutdown time of the air conditioner is determined according to the historical shutdown time and the delay duration, including that the air conditioner can take the interval duration between the target shutdown time and the historical shutdown time as the delay duration. For example, the historical shutdown time is 10:00, and the delay duration is 30 minutes, so the target shutdown time can be determined as 10:30. With this scheme, the target shutdown time of the air conditioner can be accurately determined in various ways.

[0056] Figure 3 is another method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 3 As shown, after the air conditioner performs the shutdown operation at the target shutdown time, the method further includes:

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

[0058] S32, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to maintain a shutdown state for the target shutdown duration.

[0059] In this scheme, in order to accurately determine the time for the air conditioner to maintain the shutdown state and achieve energy-saving control of the air conditioner, the air conditioner can determine the target shutdown duration of the air conditioner. Specifically, the air conditioner determines the target shutdown duration of the air conditioner, including that the air conditioner obtains clothing information of a second target user. The air conditioner determines the target shutdown duration of the air conditioner according to the clothing information of the second target user. In this way, the target shutdown duration of the air conditioner can be accurately determined. Further, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to maintain the shutdown state for the target shutdown duration. With this scheme, the air conditioner can effectively maintain the shutdown state for the target shutdown duration, avoid energy waste caused by the air conditioner automatically starting before the user returns home, and meet the energy-saving control requirements of the user on the air conditioner.

[0060] Optionally, S31, the air conditioner determines the target shutdown duration of the air conditioner, including:

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

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

[0063] In this solution, the air conditioner can obtain clothing information of a second target user. Here, the second target user is a family user who returns home first. As an example, the air conditioner can infer the family user who returns home first as the second target user through the start information of the smart door lock associated therewith. Specifically, the air conditioner can also obtain the clothing information of the second target user through the image acquisition device associated therewith. In this way, accurate acquisition of the clothing information of the second target user can be achieved. Further, the air conditioner determines a target shutdown duration of the air conditioner according to the clothing information of the second target user, including that the air conditioner determines a clothing type of the second target user according to the clothing information of the second target user. The air conditioner determines the target shutdown duration of the air conditioner according to the clothing type of the second target user. In this way, the target shutdown duration of the air conditioner can be accurately determined in combination with the clothing type of the second target user, providing accurate data basis for energy-saving control of the air conditioner.

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

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

[0066] The air conditioner determines the target shutdown duration 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. The clothing type includes a home type, a casual type, a formal type, a 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] Further, the air conditioner can determine the target shutdown duration of the air conditioner in combination with the clothing type of the second target user after determining the clothing type of the second target user. Specifically, the air conditioner can pre-store respective shutdown durations corresponding to different clothing types. As an example, if the clothing type is a formal type, the corresponding shutdown duration is 8 hours; if the clothing type is a home type, the corresponding shutdown duration is 30 minutes. In this way, the air conditioner can accurately match the target shutdown duration of the air conditioner in combination with the clothing type of the second target user and the pre-stored corresponding relationship. In this way, accurate determination of the target shutdown duration can be achieved.
