Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heating control technology, specifically to a special mode control method, device, heating equipment, and medium for heating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most heating devices on the market, such as fan heaters, only offer basic heating and air blowing functions, with no other settings to choose from. Therefore, their operating modes are relatively limited, lacking personalized settings and memory functions for individual users. This means users need to manually adjust the temperature, fan speed, etc., each time they use these devices, resulting in cumbersome operation and a poor user experience. Therefore, developing a dedicated mode control scheme for heating devices that can be customized according to user needs is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a method, device, heating device and medium for controlling a dedicated mode of heating equipment, in order to solve the problem that existing heating equipment is difficult to realize the customized settings and effective control of different user-specific modes, resulting in poor equipment control efficiency and thus seriously affecting the user experience.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a dedicated mode control method for heating equipment, the method comprising:

[0005] Collect the target user's identity information;

[0006] The existence of a target-specific mode is determined based on identity information. The target-specific mode refers to the target control parameters set by the target user for the target heating device.

[0007] If no target-specific mode exists, a target-specific mode for the target user is constructed based on the identity information, and the target heating device is controlled to generate heat based on the target user's identity information. The target-specific mode is then memorized according to the target control parameters of the target-specific mode and / or the operating status of the target heating device, so that the target heating device can be operated and controlled using the target-specific mode the next time it is started by the target user.

[0008] The heating device dedicated mode control method provided by this invention determines whether a dedicated mode exists based on the target user's identity information. If not, a dedicated mode corresponding to the target user is constructed. The heating device is then controlled to generate heat based on the constructed dedicated mode and memorized so that it can be directly used for operation control the next time the target heating device is started by the user. This not only enables personalized settings for dedicated modes but also saves users from the tedious steps of manual adjustment, significantly improving the user experience and, to a certain extent, increasing the control efficiency of the dedicated mode for heating devices.

[0009] In one alternative implementation, constructing a target-specific pattern for the target user based on identity information includes:

[0010] In response to the target user's settings of preset parameters, target control parameters are generated accordingly. The preset parameters include at least wind speed, temperature, gear position, and timer duration.

[0011] Construct a target-specific mode for the target user based on the target control parameters.

[0012] This invention obtains a target-specific mode for the target user by setting parameters such as wind speed, temperature, gear, and timer, which can meet the personalized setting needs of different users and greatly improve user satisfaction.

[0013] In one optional implementation, the target-specific mode is memorized based on the target control parameters of the target-specific mode and / or the operating status of the target heating equipment, including:

[0014] Obtain the equipment running time corresponding to the target heating device during the operation of heating controlled by the target control parameters;

[0015] Determine whether the device running time exceeds a preset time threshold;

[0016] When the device runs for longer than a preset time threshold, the target-specific mode is memorized.

[0017] This invention designs a target heating device that automatically memorizes the corresponding target-specific mode when the device's operating time exceeds a preset time threshold during the heating process controlled by the target control parameters. This enables automated and rapid memorization of the target-specific mode, further simplifying the user's operation of the heating device and improving user satisfaction.

[0018] In an optional implementation, before memorizing the target dedicated mode, the heating equipment dedicated mode control method further includes:

[0019] Obtain the current output parameters of the target heating device during the operation of heating controlled by the target control parameters;

[0020] Calculate the current difference between the target control parameter and the current output parameter;

[0021] Determine if the current difference is less than a preset parameter threshold;

[0022] When the current difference is less than the preset parameter threshold, the step of memorizing the target-specific pattern is executed;

[0023] If the current difference is not less than the preset parameter threshold, return to the step of constructing the target user's target-specific mode based on the identity information.

[0024] This invention designs a process for determining the current output parameters, device operation time, target control parameters, preset parameter thresholds, and preset time thresholds of a target heating device during its operation under target control parameters. Based on the determination results, it comprehensively determines whether the currently set dedicated mode meets the user's set requirements and automatically memorizes them when they do. This ensures the rationality of the target dedicated mode setting and the safety of the target heating device's operation, making the dedicated mode more in line with the user's own preferences and greatly satisfying the user's needs for safe, comfortable, and convenient use of the target heating device.

[0025] In one optional implementation, the heating equipment dedicated mode control method further includes:

[0026] When the device running time is no more than a preset time threshold, detect whether the target user has actively memorized the target-specific mode.

[0027] Upon receiving an active memorization request from the target user for a target-specific mode, the target-specific mode is memorized.

[0028] If no active memory operation for the target-specific mode is received from the target user, return to the step of checking whether an active memory operation for the target-specific mode has been received from the target user.

[0029] When the device running time is no more than a preset time threshold, this invention determines whether to memorize the dedicated mode by detecting whether the target user actively memorizes the dedicated mode. This takes into account the user's own needs. When the user feels that the current operating state of the heating device meets their comfort requirements, they can actively memorize the current dedicated mode, which helps to accelerate the personalized setting process and thus improves the control efficiency of the dedicated mode of the heating device.

[0030] In one optional implementation, the heating equipment dedicated mode control method further includes:

[0031] If a target-specific mode exists, then the target-specific mode is invoked to control the target heating device to generate heat.

[0032] The present invention also designs a control flow that directly calls the target dedicated mode when it exists, which can speed up the heating operation of the target heating device and thus improve the user experience.

[0033] In an optional implementation, during the process of invoking the target-specific mode to control the target heating device to generate heat, the heating device-specific mode control method further includes:

[0034] Detect whether the target user has reset the target-specific mode;

[0035] If it exists, the corresponding adjustment parameters are generated in response to the reset operation. The target dedicated mode is adjusted based on the adjustment parameters to obtain the adjusted dedicated mode. After the target heating device is controlled to generate heat based on the adjusted dedicated mode, the adjusted dedicated mode is memorized according to the adjustment parameters and the operating status of the target heating device.

[0036] This invention detects in real time whether the target user resets the current target-specific mode during the heating process of the target heating device, and adjusts the current target-specific mode by resetting it after detecting the relevant setting operation, so as to adapt to the new personalized settings of the heating device's dedicated mode, and can more accurately meet the user's comfort needs.

[0037] Secondly, the present invention provides a dedicated mode control device for heating equipment, the device comprising:

[0038] The collection module is used to collect the target user's identity information;

[0039] The judgment module is used to determine whether a target-dedicated mode exists based on identity information. The target-dedicated mode is the target control parameter set by the target user for the target heating device.

[0040] The control module is used to construct a target user's target dedicated mode based on identity information and control the target heating device to generate heat if no target dedicated mode exists. Then, it memorizes the target dedicated mode according to the target control parameters of the target dedicated mode and / or the operating status of the target heating device, so that the target heating device can be operated and controlled using the target dedicated mode the next time it is started by the target user.

[0041] The heating equipment dedicated mode control device provided by this invention obtains the identity information of the target user, determines whether a target dedicated mode exists based on the identity information, constructs a target dedicated mode corresponding to the target user when the target user does not exist, and controls the target heating equipment to generate heat based on the mode. At the same time, it memorizes the current target dedicated mode so that the target heating equipment can be directly controlled by the mode the next time it is started by the user. This enables personalized settings for the heating equipment dedicated mode, further saving users from the tedious steps of manual adjustment, significantly improving the user experience, and increasing the control efficiency of the heating equipment dedicated mode.

[0042] Thirdly, the present invention provides a heating device, the heating device including a controller, the controller including a memory and a processor, the memory and the processor being communicatively connected to each other, the memory storing computer instructions, and the processor executing the computer instructions to perform the heating device dedicated mode control method of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment described above.

[0043] In one alternative implementation, the heating device is a fan heater.

[0044] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a computer to execute the heating device dedicated mode control method of the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment described above. Attached Figure Description

[0050] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the heating controller according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling a dedicated mode of a heating device is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0053] This embodiment provides a dedicated mode control method for heating equipment. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a dedicated mode control method for heating equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0054] Step S101: Collect the target user's identity information.

[0055] It should be noted that the specific content and collection method of the identity information in this embodiment are not limited and can be adapted to actual needs. For example, the user's identity information can be collected through the control panel of the heating device or a smartphone APP connected to the device. The identity information includes at least biometric information such as name, age, gender, ID card number, fingerprint, and facial photo. This is only an example.

[0056] Step S102: Determine whether a target-dedicated mode exists based on the identity information. The target-dedicated mode is the target control parameter set by the target user for the target heating device.

[0057] It should be noted that in this embodiment, after the user sets control parameters for the heating device, a dedicated mode corresponding to the user's identity information will be generated, and the generated dedicated mode will be associated with the identity information and stored in the database. Once the same user sets parameters for the same heating device later, the user's identity information will be identified first, and then the database will be searched for the existence of a corresponding dedicated mode based on the identified identity information. If it exists, it will be directly called to realize the operation control of the heating device, which can simplify the steps of resetting user parameters.

[0058] Step S103: If no target dedicated mode exists, a target dedicated mode for the target user is constructed based on the identity information. After the target user controls the target heating device to generate heat, the target dedicated mode is memorized according to the target control parameters of the target dedicated mode and / or the operating status of the target heating device, so that the target heating device can be operated and controlled using the target dedicated mode the next time it is started by the target user.

[0059] In this embodiment, when no corresponding target-specific pattern is found in the database using the identity information identified by the target user, it is necessary to reset the target-specific pattern (i.e., construct the target user's target-specific pattern), determine whether the currently set target-specific pattern needs to be memorized, and associate and store the target user and target-specific pattern in the database while meeting user needs and ensuring efficient device operation.

[0060] This invention provides a dedicated mode control method for heating equipment. It determines whether a dedicated mode exists based on the target user's identity information. If not, it constructs a dedicated mode for the target user. The method then memorizes the constructed dedicated mode to control the target heating equipment, allowing for direct operation and control the equipment the next time the user starts it. This not only enables personalized settings for the dedicated mode but also saves users from the tedious manual adjustments, significantly improving the user experience and increasing the control efficiency of the dedicated mode. This embodiment provides a dedicated mode control method for heating equipment. Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another heating device-specific mode control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0061] Step S201: Collect the target user's identity information. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 Step S101 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described again here.

[0062] Step S202: Determine whether a target-dedicated mode exists based on the identity information. The target-dedicated mode refers to the target control parameters set by the target user for the target heating device. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 Step S102 of the illustrated embodiment will not be described again here.

[0063] Step S203: If no target dedicated mode exists, a target dedicated mode for the target user is constructed based on the identity information. After the target user controls the target heating device to generate heat, the target dedicated mode is memorized according to the target control parameters of the target dedicated mode and / or the operating status of the target heating device, so that the target heating device can be operated and controlled using the target dedicated mode the next time it is started by the target user.

[0064] Specifically, the step S203 above, which involves constructing a target-specific pattern for the target user based on identity information, includes:

[0065] Step S2031: In response to the target user's setting of the preset parameters, the target control parameters are generated accordingly. The preset parameters include at least wind speed, temperature, gear position and timer duration.

[0066] In this embodiment, the method by which the target user sets the preset parameters is not limited, and can be set according to the control panel of the heating device or the operation interface of the smartphone APP connected to the heater.

[0067] Step S2032: Construct the target user's target-specific mode based on the target control parameters.

[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, the target user's customized mode is obtained by setting parameters such as wind speed, temperature, gear, and timer, which can meet the personalized setting needs of different users and greatly improve user satisfaction.

[0069] In this embodiment, the step S203 above, which involves memorizing the target dedicated mode based on the target control parameters of the target dedicated mode and / or the operating status of the target heating equipment, includes:

[0070] Step S2033: Obtain the device running time corresponding to the target heating device during the operation of heating controlled by the target control parameters.

[0071] In this embodiment, the specific method for obtaining the device running time can be determined by referring to conventional time acquisition methods in the field, and is not limited here.

[0072] Step S2034: Determine whether the device running time is greater than the preset time threshold.

[0073] In this embodiment, the specific value of the preset time threshold is not limited and can be adjusted adaptively according to actual needs.

[0074] Step S2035: When the device running time exceeds a preset time threshold, the target dedicated mode is memorized.

[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, when the operating time of the target heating device during the heating process controlled by the target control parameters exceeds a preset time threshold, the corresponding target-specific mode is automatically memorized. This enables automated and rapid memorization of the target-specific mode, further simplifying the user's operation of the heating device and improving user satisfaction with the heating device.

[0076] It should be noted that before memorizing the target-specific mode, this embodiment also needs to consider whether there is a deviation between the output parameters of the target heating device and the set target control parameters during the operation of the target heating device under the current target control parameters to be memorized. Based on the corresponding determination result, it is determined whether to memorize the target-specific mode to ensure that the target heating device can operate safely and normally under the target-specific mode that needs to be memorized. Therefore, before memorizing the target-specific mode, the heating device-specific mode control method of this embodiment further includes:

[0077] Step x1: Obtain the current output parameters of the target heating device during the operation of heating controlled by the target control parameters.

[0078] In this embodiment, the specific content and acquisition method of the current output parameters are not limited, and can be adapted according to actual needs, the type of target heating device, and conventional data acquisition methods in the field. For example, the target heating device is a fan heater; the current output parameters of the fan heater include temperature, wind speed, air volume, power, and thermal efficiency; the output temperature of the fan heater can be collected by a temperature sensor, which is only used as an example.

[0079] Step x2: Calculate the current difference between the target control parameter and the current output parameter.

[0080] Step x3: Determine whether the current difference is less than the preset parameter threshold.

[0081] In this embodiment, the specific content of the preset parameter threshold is not limited and can be adjusted adaptively according to the parameter type and actual needs.

[0082] Step x4: When the current difference is less than the preset parameter threshold, execute the step of memorizing the target-specific pattern.

[0083] Step x5: If the current difference is not less than the preset parameter threshold, return to the step of constructing the target user's target-specific mode based on the identity information.

[0084] In this embodiment of the invention, a process is designed to determine the current output parameters, device running time, target control parameters, preset parameter thresholds, and preset time thresholds of the target heating device during the operation of the target heating device under the control of target control parameters. Based on the determination results, it is comprehensively determined whether the currently set dedicated mode meets the user's set requirements, and if it does, it is automatically memorized. This ensures the rationality of the setting of the target dedicated mode and the safety of the operation of the target heating device, thereby making the dedicated mode more in line with the user's own set preferences and greatly satisfying the user's needs for safe, comfortable, and convenient use of the target heating device.

[0085] It should be noted that, when the device running time is no greater than a preset time threshold, the heating device dedicated mode control method in this embodiment further includes:

[0086] Step a1: Detect whether the target user has received an active memory operation for the target-specific mode.

[0087] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the target user's active memorization operation of the target-specific mode can be performed through relevant components of the heating device, such as the control panel or related buttons (i.e., the heating device is equipped with a one-click memorization button, which the user can press to perform the active memorization operation), and the corresponding operation of the smartphone APP connected to the heating device.

[0088] Step a2: After receiving the target user's active memorization operation for the target-specific mode, memorize the target-specific mode.

[0089] In this embodiment, memorizing the target-specific mode involves associating the target user with the target-specific mode and storing the association in a database or memory module set by the heating device.

[0090] Step a3: If no active memory operation for the target-specific mode is received from the target user, return to the step of detecting whether an active memory operation for the target-specific mode has been received from the target user.

[0091] In this embodiment of the invention, when the device running time is not greater than a preset time threshold, the determination of whether to memorize the dedicated mode is made by detecting whether the target user actively memorizes the dedicated mode. This takes into account the user's own needs. When the user feels that the current operating state of the heating device meets the comfort requirements, the user can actively memorize the current dedicated mode, which helps to accelerate the personalized setting process and thus improves the control efficiency of the dedicated mode of the heating device.

[0092] Step S204: If a target-specific mode exists, the target-specific mode is invoked to control the target heating device to generate heat.

[0093] In this embodiment of the invention, a control flow is designed to be directly invoked when a target-specific mode exists, which can accelerate the heating operation of the target heating device and thus improve the user experience.

[0094] It should be noted that, in the process of invoking the target-specific mode to control the target heating device to generate heat, the heating device-specific mode control method of this embodiment further includes:

[0095] Step b1: Detect whether there is a reset operation of the target user on the target-specific mode.

[0096] In this embodiment, the target user's reset operation for the target-specific mode can refer to the relevant settings mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0097] Step b2, if it exists, then in response to the reset operation, generate the corresponding adjustment parameters, adjust the target dedicated mode based on the adjustment parameters to obtain the adjusted dedicated mode; after controlling the target heating device to generate heat based on the adjusted dedicated mode, memorize the adjusted dedicated mode according to the adjustment parameters and the operating status of the target heating device.

[0098] In this embodiment of the invention, the target user performs a reset operation on the current target-specific mode during the heating process of the target heating device in real time. After detecting the relevant setting operation, the current target-specific mode is adjusted by re-operation to adapt to the new personalized settings of the heating device's dedicated mode, which can more accurately meet the user's comfort needs.

[0099] In one specific embodiment, the heating device is a fan heater, and a dedicated mode setting scheme for the fan heater is provided. This scheme is then integrated to generate a corresponding dedicated mode control system for the fan heater. Specifically, in this dedicated mode, the user can input customized personal information. After identifying and confirming different users, the dedicated mode control system memorizes and stores the user's preferences and common habits when using the fan heater, such as frequently used temperature settings, airflow settings, and timer settings. Simultaneously, the fan heater is equipped with a one-button memory function. Users can save settings for a specific period of comfortable use within their dedicated mode, such as a comfortable temperature setting, airflow setting, and usage duration. This saved setting allows users to easily access their dedicated mode later, significantly improving the user experience and eliminating the need for users to manually memorize settings.

[0100] In this embodiment, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the operation of the dedicated mode control system for a space heater. Figure 3The system comprises: an information acquisition module, a calling module, a setting module, a control module, a heating module, and a memory module. The information acquisition module collects user identity information, such as name and gender. The memory module stores at least one user's dedicated mode, which can be stored via a memory chip. The implementation of the calling module is not limited here; it can be selected and called via a smartphone app or through function buttons on the heater. Specifically, the calling module filters the memory module based on the user's identity information to check for a corresponding dedicated mode. If no mode exists, the setting module sets the heater's fan speed, temperature, and timer, and sends the set control parameters to the control module. Alternatively, if a dedicated mode corresponding to the user's identity information exists, the system directly calls the dedicated mode stored in the memory module and sends it to the control module to control the heating module. It should be noted that... Figure 3 The three judgment processes added after the heating module starts working are all for determining whether to memorize, i.e., to save the current setting parameters. Among them, the "whether to call" judgment is to determine the source of the control parameters received by the control module. That is, when directly calling the dedicated mode stored in the memory module, there is no need to memorize. Memorization is only considered when the current user's dedicated mode is set through the setting module. The "whether to meet the requirements" judgment is mainly to determine whether the actual effect of the heater generated by the user-defined module meets the user's needs. If it meets the requirements, these settings can be memorized. If not, the parameters can be reset and adjusted. The "whether to memorize" judgment is mainly to finally determine whether to store the current setting parameters. It can be automatically memorized after the heater has been running for a certain period of time or actively memorized in response to the user's one-click memory button setting.

[0101] In this embodiment, the specific implementation steps of the system are as follows:

[0102] 1. User registration and information input.

[0103] In this embodiment, the system allows users to input personal information and identifies different users to establish a personalized usage habit database. For example, when a user uses the heater for the first time, the system prompts the user to input personal information, such as name and age, on the heater's interface, and completes the user's registration, generating a corresponding dedicated mode. It should be noted that the system has a memory storage function, capable of storing each user's preferred settings, including frequently used temperature settings, fan speed settings, and timer settings; these parameter settings must be within a preset range.

[0104] 2. Personalized settings adjustment and memory.

[0105] In this embodiment, during use, users can adjust parameters such as temperature and wind speed according to their own needs; the system will automatically memorize the aforementioned settings and store them in association with user information.

[0106] 3. One-click memory function.

[0107] In this embodiment, when the user feels comfortable with the current settings of the heater, they can press the "one-key memory" button (a function button built into the heater), and the system will store all current settings (such as temperature, fan speed, duration, etc.) as a custom mode, that is, save it as a new personalized mode for the user.

[0108] It should be noted that each user's identity information can only have one personalized mode. User-defined settings will only be saved if the user presses the "Memory" button to avoid the heater saving the settings if the actual effect does not meet the user's needs when making adjustments.

[0109] 4. Mode invocation and automatic adjustment.

[0110] In this embodiment, when a user uses the heater again, they only need to select their preferred mode, and the heater will automatically adjust to the previously stored personalized settings. This means the system can quickly recall the stored modes, allowing the user to easily access the stored personalized settings for one-click activation in subsequent uses. For example, when using the heater again, the user can enter their identity information (e.g., 01) on the relevant operation interface, and after confirming the user information, they can directly recall the user's "memorized" setting mode.

[0111] In this embodiment, the dedicated heating device mode control method significantly improves the user experience by memorizing and quickly recalling personalized settings, reducing the tedious steps of manual adjustment. Simultaneously, because the heater can more accurately meet the user's comfort needs, it also improves efficiency to some extent. Furthermore, this control method is not only applicable to heaters in home environments but can also be extended to offices, public places, and other scenarios requiring personalized temperature control. With the continuous development of smart home technology, the dedicated heating device mode control scheme of this embodiment has broad application prospects and is expected to become an important innovation point in the future heater market. Specifically, the beneficial effects of this embodiment include:

[0112] 1. Improved user satisfaction and more convenient operation.

[0113] 2. The use of space heaters is becoming more intelligent and personalized.

[0114] 3. Improve efficiency and enable one-click activation.

[0115] In summary, the heating equipment dedicated mode control method of this invention can realize personalized settings of heating equipment dedicated modes. By quickly recalling the memorized dedicated modes, it can effectively reduce the user's manual parameter adjustment, improve the control efficiency of heating equipment and the user experience, and meet the user's comfort needs.

[0116] This embodiment also provides a dedicated mode control device for heating equipment, which is used to implement the above embodiments and preferred embodiments; details already described will not be repeated. As used below, a "module" can be a combination of software and / or hardware that performs a predetermined function. Although the device described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.

[0117] This invention provides a dedicated mode control device for heating equipment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device includes:
