Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aroma technology, and specifically provides an aromatherapy device and a control method thereof, a readable storage medium and a computer device. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their quality of life is improving day by day, and their requirements for daily life scenes are getting higher and higher. Taking the home scene as an example, in order to improve the air quality of the indoor space, people usually equip their homes with aromatherapy devices, which are equipped with aromatherapy materials. The aromatherapy materials can be solid aromatherapy materials, liquid aromatherapy materials, etc. The aromatherapy materials can emit fragrance. The fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy materials can adjust the air conditions of the indoor space, remove odors, and beautify the indoor environment. Different aromatherapy materials can emit different fragrances, which have the effects of refreshing the mind, calming the mind, cultivating emotions, and maintaining health and curing diseases.

[0003] However, current aromatherapy devices usually require users to manually turn them on or off, or the aromatherapy devices are not equipped with switches, and it is difficult or impossible to stop them after turning them on. For example, the aromatherapy bottle, aromatherapy liquid, and rattan are included. When aromatherapy is needed, the aromatherapy bottle is opened, the rattan is inserted into the aromatherapy bottle, and the aromatherapy liquid evaporates freely through the rattan until the aromatherapy liquid evaporates completely. If you do not want to use aromatherapy during the evaporation process, you can only stop the aromatherapy by manually removing the rattan and closing the aromatherapy bottle. In other words, the current aromatherapy devices are poorly intelligent, and usually cannot adjust their operating status in time according to the actual situation of the user, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] Accordingly, the art needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0022] Determine the reference time required to reach the target fragrance concentration and the corresponding reference power based on the type of the aromatherapy material;

[0023] The target operating power is determined based on the reference duration, the reference power, and the target operating duration.

[0024] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, the step of "determining the target operating power based on the reference duration, the reference power and the target operating duration" further includes:

[0025] If the reference duration is less than the target operating duration, determining the reference power as the target operating power;

[0026] If the reference duration is greater than or equal to the target operating duration, the target operating power is determined by multiplying the reference power by a preset value;

[0027] Wherein, the preset value is greater than 1.

[0028] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, the step of "selectively controlling the aromatherapy device to turn off based on the fragrance concentration" further includes:

[0029] comparing the fragrance concentration with the target fragrance concentration;

[0030] The aromatherapy device is selectively controlled to be turned off based on the comparison result.

[0031] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, the step of "selectively controlling the aromatherapy device to turn off based on the comparison result" specifically includes:

[0032] If the fragrance concentration is less than the target fragrance concentration, controlling the aromatherapy device to continue operating;

For example, when the fragrance concentration is less than the target fragrance concentration, the aromatherapy device is controlled to continue to operate, and when the fragrance concentration is greater than or equal to the target fragrance concentration, the aromatherapy device is controlled to be turned off. The present invention first determines the target operating power based on the user attributes and the current time point, and then controls the opening and closing of the aromatherapy device based on the actual fragrance concentration. The fragrance concentration in the space can be adjusted to a suitable range without any user operation to meet the user's needs.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0043] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a control method of an aromatherapy device according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0044] Figure 2 The flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention is to control the operation of the aromatherapy device based on user attributes, current time point and fragrance concentration. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, although the various steps of the control method of the present invention are described in this application in a specific order, these orders are not restrictive. Without departing from the basic principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can perform the steps in a different order.

[0048] The current aromatherapy devices have a low level of intelligence, and there are problems such as being unable to adjust their operating states in a timely manner, being unable to meet user needs well, and having a poor user experience. To this end, the present invention controls the operation of the aromatherapy device based on the user attributes of a human body in the space where the aromatherapy device is located, the current time point, and the fragrance concentration in the space. Without the need for manual operation by the user, the operation of the aromatherapy device can be controlled according to the actual needs of the user, so as to adjust the fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located to a more appropriate level, thereby improving the intelligence of the aromatherapy device and enhancing the user experience.

[0049] In a possible implementation, the aromatherapy device includes a fan, an ultrasonic oscillator, and a container disposed on the ultrasonic oscillator, wherein aromatherapy material is disposed in the container. The ultrasonic oscillator is disposed in a main body cavity, and an air inlet duct and an air outlet duct connected thereto are disposed on the main body cavity, and the fan is disposed in the air inlet duct. The ultrasonic oscillator is used to accelerate the volatilization of the aromatherapy material, and the fan is used to promote the circulation of indoor air, and can send indoor air into the main body cavity through the air inlet duct, and then send air with volatilized aromatherapy material into the room through the air outlet duct, thereby achieving the function of releasing and adjusting the indoor fragrance concentration.

[0050] It should be noted that aromatherapy materials can be aromatherapy essential oils, solid aromatherapy materials, etc. Among them, aromatherapy essential oils are a mixture of various organic compounds that can volatilize aromas, which are extracted from the flowers, stems, leaves, fruits, roots, seeds, skins, woods and secreted resins of plants and other substances with special aromas through physical methods such as distillation and pressing.

[0051] It should be noted that the aromatherapy device can also be set in other ways. For example, the aromatherapy device includes a fan, an atomizing sheet, a cotton swab, a container, and an aromatherapy essential oil arranged in the container. One end of the cotton swab extends into the container to contact the aromatherapy essential oil, and the other end is connected to the atomizing sheet. The atomizing sheet is arranged in the main body cavity, and the main body cavity is provided with an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe connected thereto, and the fan is arranged in the air inlet pipe. The cotton swab is used to guide the aromatherapy essential oil to the atomizing sheet, and the atomizing sheet is used to atomize the aromatherapy essential oil coming from the cotton swab into essential oil droplets. The fan is used to promote the circulation of indoor air, and can send indoor air into the main body cavity through the air inlet pipe, and then send the air with essential oil droplets into the room through the air outlet pipe. Obviously, the aromatherapy device can also be set in other ways. Without departing from the basic principles of this application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select the specific setting mode of the aromatherapy device according to the specific application scenario, as long as the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy essential oil in the aromatherapy device can improve the air quality of the indoor space.

[0052] For the convenience of description, this embodiment is described by taking an example in which the aromatherapy device includes a fan, an ultrasonic oscillator, a container disposed on the ultrasonic oscillator, and aromatherapy essential oil disposed in the container.

[0053] In the present invention, the aromatherapy device includes a human body detection module, through which the user attributes of the human body in the space where the aromatherapy device is located can be detected. The user attributes include but are not limited to the elderly, children, adult males, adult females, etc. For the convenience of explanation, this embodiment is described by taking the user attributes including the elderly, children and adults as an example.

[0054] It should be noted that the human body detection module can be but is not limited to an infrared detection module, a radar detection module, an infrared thermal imaging detector, an image acquisition device, etc.

[0055] For example, taking the human detection module including the image acquisition module as an example, firstly, the image acquisition module is used to obtain images of all human bodies in the indoor space, the images are preprocessed, facial features are extracted, a large amount of redundant information in the images is removed, and then neural network training is performed. The trained neural network is then used for recognition, and then the user attributes of the human bodies in the images are analyzed and recognized.

[0056] For another example, taking the human body detection module as an infrared thermal imaging detector, the infrared thermal imaging detector can identify and receive the heat emitted by the organism in the space where the aromatherapy device is located, and draw the infrared thermal image of the organism according to the difference between the temperature of the organism and the ambient temperature in the space, extract the outer contour of the organism in the infrared thermal image, and match the outer contour with the contour of the target body in the preset model library, so that it can accurately determine whether there is a human body in the infrared thermal image, and determine the user attributes of the human body if there is a human body. It should be noted that the preset model library pre-stores the contours of human bodies of various genders, ages, heights and body shapes.

[0057] Of course, the aromatherapy device may not be equipped with a human body detection module, but the user attributes of the human body in the current space may be manually input by the user.

[0058] Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select a specific implementation method according to the specific application scenario, as long as the user attributes of the human body in the space can be accurately determined.

[0059] In the present invention, the aromatherapy device is further provided with an odor detection module, through which the actual fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located can be detected.

[0060] It should be noted that the odor detection module can be but is not limited to an aroma concentration detection probe, an odor sensor, etc.

[0061] In the present invention, the aromatherapy device also includes a control module, which is communicatively connected to the above-mentioned human body detection module and odor detection module, and can control the operation of the aromatherapy device based on user attributes, current time point and fragrance concentration. It can also determine the target operating power of the aromatherapy device based on user attributes and current time point, and control the aromatherapy device to operate at the target operating power. It can also control the aromatherapy device to continue operating or shut down based on the fragrance concentration and the target fragrance concentration while or after controlling the aromatherapy device to operate at the target operating power, etc.

[0062] It should be noted that such a control module may physically be a control chip of the aromatherapy device itself, or a controller specifically used to execute the method of the present application, or a functional module or functional unit of a general controller.

[0063] Combine the following Figure 1 and Figure 2 To illustrate possible implementations of the control method of the aromatherapy device of the present invention.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method of the present invention includes:

[0065] S100: Obtaining user attributes of a human body in the space where the aromatherapy device is located;

[0066] S101: Get the current time point;

[0067] S102: Obtaining the fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located;

[0068] S103: Controlling the operation of the aromatherapy device based on user attributes, current time point, and fragrance concentration.

[0069] In S100, the user attributes of the human body in the space where the aromatherapy device is located are obtained through the human body detection module, wherein the user attributes include the elderly, children and adults. The specific process of obtaining the user attributes of the human body through the human body detection module is not repeated here.

[0070] In S101, the current time point is obtained.

[0071] It should be noted that the aromatherapy device may be provided with a time module, through which the current time point can be accurately determined. Of course, the aromatherapy device may not be provided with a time module, but may be connected to the Internet through communication methods such as wide area network, local area network, WiFi, "WiFi+router with Internet access", Bluetooth, ZIGBEE, NFC, GPRS, etc., to obtain the current time point of the location of the aromatherapy device. Obviously, the aromatherapy device may also be connected to a smart clock or other smart device with a time module, and when the current time point needs to be obtained, it can be obtained from these smart devices. Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select the specific setting method and connection method of the aromatherapy device according to the specific application scenario, as long as the current time point can be accurately obtained.

[0072] In S102, the fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located is obtained through the above-mentioned odor detection module.

[0073] In S103, the operation of the aromatherapy device is controlled based on the user attributes obtained in S100, the current time point obtained in S101, and the fragrance concentration obtained in S102.

[0074] Through the above control method, the operation of the aromatherapy device can be automatically controlled based on the user attributes of the human body in the space where the aromatherapy device is located, the current time point, and the fragrance concentration in the space, thereby improving the intelligence of the aromatherapy device. When controlling the operation of the aromatherapy device, the human body type, the current time point, and the actual fragrance concentration are comprehensively considered, so that the aromatherapy device can be controlled according to the actual needs of the user, better meet the needs of the user, improve the air quality of the indoor space, and enhance the user experience.

[0075] Combine the following Figure 2 To illustrate the possible implementation methods of controlling the operation of the aromatherapy device based on user attributes, current time point and fragrance concentration.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the control method of the present invention further includes:

[0077] S200: Obtaining user attributes of a human body in the space where the aromatherapy device is located;

[0078] S201: Determine a target fragrance concentration based on user attributes and a pre-built aromatherapy account;

[0079] S202: Get the current time point;

[0080] S203: Determine the time period in which the time point is located;

[0081] S204: Determine a target running time based on the time period of the time point;

[0082] S205: Obtain the type of aromatherapy material in the aromatherapy device;

[0083] S206: Determine a reference time required to reach a target fragrance concentration and a corresponding reference power based on the type of aromatherapy material;

[0084] S207: Determine whether the reference duration is less than the target running duration, if so, execute S208, if not, execute S209;

[0085] S208: Determine the reference power as the target operating power;

[0086] S209: Determine the target operating power by multiplying the reference power by a preset value;

[0087] S210: Controlling the aromatherapy device to operate at a target operating power;

[0088] S211: Obtaining the fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located;

[0089] S212: Determine whether the fragrance concentration is less than the target fragrance concentration, if so, execute S213, if not, execute S214;

[0090] S213: Control the aromatherapy equipment to continue to operate;

[0091] S214: Control the aromatherapy device to turn off.

[0092] In S200 , similar to the above S100 , the user attributes of the human body in the space where the aromatherapy device is located are obtained through the above human body detection module.

[0093] In S201, the target fragrance concentration is determined based on the user attributes obtained in S200 and the pre-built fragrance account. The pre-built fragrance account stores a mapping relationship between user attributes and fragrance concentrations, in which the user attributes correspond to the fragrance concentrations one by one. Everyone has different feelings and acceptance of fragrance concentrations. For example, adults like stronger fragrances, children are more suitable for lighter fragrances, and the elderly have their own preferences. Determining a specific fragrance concentration corresponding to each user can better meet the needs of the user.

[0094] Specifically, after determining the user attribute of the human body in S200, the user attribute matching it in the aromatherapy account is found, and the fragrance concentration corresponding to the successfully matched user attribute is the target fragrance concentration. It should be noted that the fragrance concentration corresponding to each user in the aromatherapy account can be set by the user himself, or it can be determined and pre-stored by the designer based on experience, experiments, etc.

[0095] It should be noted that an aromatherapy account may be constructed for each family member, and the aromatherapy account stores the fragrance concentration corresponding to the member. When the target fragrance concentration needs to be determined, the aromatherapy account corresponding to the user attribute determined in S200 is first found, and then the fragrance concentration in the aromatherapy account is determined as the target fragrance concentration.

[0096] Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select a specific method for determining the target fragrance concentration according to the specific application scenario, as long as the target fragrance concentration corresponding to the user attribute can be accurately determined.

[0097] It should be noted that if there is only one user attribute obtained in S200, the target fragrance concentration is determined based on the user attribute. If there are multiple user attributes obtained in S200, it can be determined which user attribute is ultimately used to determine the target fragrance concentration according to a pre-set priority. For example, the pre-set priority is that children are higher than the elderly, and the elderly are higher than adults. If the user attributes obtained in S200 include children and adults, the target fragrance concentration is determined based on children as the final user attribute. Of course, the final user attributes can also be determined based on the number of people in each user attribute. For example, if the user attributes obtained in S200 include two adults and one elderly person, then the target fragrance concentration is determined based on adults as the final user attribute.

[0098] In S202, similar to the above S101, the current time point is obtained. It should be noted that the current time point is obtained in a manner similar to that in the above S101, and will not be described in detail here.

[0099] In S203, based on the current time point obtained in S202, the time period in which the time point is located is determined.

[0100] In S204, the target runtime is determined based on the time period determined in S203. The activity status of the user in each time period is different, and the corresponding appropriate runtime will also be different. For example, between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Monday, the user is usually preparing for work and school and is in an active state. After this period, the user is usually not at home, and the runtime at this time can be slightly shorter, for example, the target runtime is 30 minutes. For another example, between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, the user is in a living and leisure state. Although it is also in an active state, the user is usually at home after this period, and the runtime at this time can be slightly longer, for example, the target runtime is 60 minutes.

[0101] In a possible implementation, when determining the target operating duration based on the time period in which the current time period is located, the determination can be made in the following manner: pre-constructing a running duration database, in which multiple time periods and the running durations corresponding to each time period are pre-stored, the time period determined in S203 is matched with the multiple time periods in the database, and the running duration corresponding to the successfully matched time period is determined as the target running duration.

[0102] Obviously, a comparison table may be pre-built in which time periods correspond to running times one by one, the time period determined in S203 is compared with the time period in the comparison table, and the running time corresponding to the successfully compared time period is determined as the target running time.

[0103] It should be noted that when determining the target operating duration, it is also possible not to first determine the time period in which the current time point is located, but to directly determine the target operating duration based on the current time point obtained in S202. Taking the pre-construction of an operating duration database as an example, as described above, the database pre-stores multiple time periods and the operating durations corresponding to each time period. The current time point obtained in S202 is matched with each time period, and it is determined which time period the current time point belongs to, and the target time period is determined, and the operating duration corresponding to the target time period is determined as the target operating duration.

[0104] Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select a specific method for determining the target runtime according to the specific application scenario, as long as the target runtime can be accurately determined.

[0105] In S205, the type of aromatherapy material in the aromatherapy device is obtained.

[0106] It should be noted that different types of aromatherapy materials have different volatilization rates. For example, wood essential oils and resin essential oils evaporate the slowest, lavender, basil, rose, etc. evaporate at medium rates, and citrus essential oils evaporate the fastest.

[0107] In S206, based on the type of aromatherapy material obtained in S205, a reference time and a corresponding reference power required to reach the target fragrance concentration in S201 are determined.

[0108] It should be noted that different types of aromatherapy materials will have different volatilization speeds and the time required to reach the target fragrance concentration will also be different. If the type of aromatherapy materials is the same, if the operating power of the aromatherapy equipment is different, the volatilization speed of the aromatherapy materials will also be different, and thus the time required to reach the target fragrance concentration will be different.

[0109] It should be noted that when determining the reference duration and reference power based on the type of aromatherapy material, an aromatherapy database can be pre-constructed, in which multiple types of aromatherapy materials and the time and power required for the aromatherapy device carrying each type of aromatherapy material to reach each fragrance concentration when running are pre-stored, the type of aromatherapy material determined in S205 is compared with the aromatherapy materials in the database to determine the target aromatherapy material, and then the target fragrance concentration determined in S201 is matched with the fragrance concentration corresponding to the target aromatherapy material in the database, and the duration and power corresponding to the successfully matched fragrance concentration are determined as the reference duration and reference power. Of course, it is also possible to pre-construct a comparison table in which each type of aromatherapy material, the time and power required to reach each fragrance concentration correspond one to one, and the type of aromatherapy material determined in S205 is compared with each type of aromatherapy material in the comparison table, and the target fragrance concentration determined in S201 is compared with the fragrance concentration in the comparison table, so that the reference duration and reference power can be determined. Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select a specific method for determining the benchmark duration and benchmark power according to specific application scenarios, as long as the benchmark duration and benchmark power required to achieve the target fragrance concentration can be accurately determined based on the type of aromatherapy material.

[0110] In S207, based on the reference duration determined in S206, the reference duration is compared with the target operation duration determined in S204 to determine whether the reference duration is less than the target operation duration.

[0111] If the reference duration is less than the target operating duration, it means that the aromatherapy device can achieve the target fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located by running at the reference power for a shorter time. At this time, the reference power is directly determined as the target operating power, that is, S208 is executed.

[0112] If the reference duration is greater than or equal to the target operating duration, it means that the aromatherapy device needs to operate at the reference power for a longer time in order to make the fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located reach the target fragrance concentration. In this case, the operating power of the aromatherapy device needs to be increased so as to ensure that the fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located reaches the target fragrance concentration within the target operating duration, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the air quality in the space. At this time, the product of the reference power and the preset value is determined as the target operating power, that is, S209 is executed. Among them, the preset value is greater than 1, that is, the aromatherapy effect is ensured by increasing the operating power of the aromatherapy device. Preferably, the preset value is greater than 1 and less than 1.5, so that it can ensure that the target fragrance concentration is reached in the space and avoid the excessive fragrance concentration in the space causing discomfort to the user.

[0113] It should be noted that when the reference duration is less than the target operating duration, the reference power may be appropriately reduced and determined as the target operating power. For example, the product of the reference power and a constant a may be determined as the target operating power, where the constant a is greater than zero and less than 1. For another example, the value obtained by reducing the reference power by a preset power may be determined as the target operating power. When the reference duration is greater than or equal to the target operating duration, the value obtained by increasing the reference power by a preset power may be determined as the target operating power.

[0114] It should be noted that the target operating power can also be determined based on the target concentration and the target operating duration in other ways. For example, a power database is pre-built, in which multiple fragrance concentrations, operating durations corresponding to each fragrance concentration, and operating powers corresponding to each fragrance concentration and operating duration are pre-stored. The target fragrance concentration obtained in S201 is compared with each fragrance concentration in the database, and the target operating duration determined in S204 is compared with each operating duration in the database. The operating power corresponding to the successfully compared fragrance concentration and operating duration is the target operating power. Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select a specific method for determining the target operating power according to the specific application scenario, as long as the target operating power can be accurately determined.

[0115] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the aromatherapy device includes a fan, an ultrasonic oscillator, a container disposed on the ultrasonic oscillator, and an aromatherapy essential oil disposed in the container. Controlling the operation of the aromatherapy device is actually controlling the operation of the fan and the ultrasonic oscillator. In this embodiment, the operation power of the fan and the ultrasonic oscillator changes with the operation power of the aromatherapy device. The operation power of the aromatherapy device corresponds to the operation power of the fan and the ultrasonic oscillator one by one. When the aromatherapy device is controlled to operate at the target operation power, the fan and the ultrasonic oscillator operate at the corresponding operation power.

[0116] In S210, after the target operating power is determined in S208 or S209, the aromatherapy device is controlled to operate at the target operating power, so as to adjust the fragrance concentration in the space to the target fragrance concentration as soon as possible.

[0117] It should be noted that the aromatherapy device may be controlled to operate at the target operating power while the target operating power is determined in S208 or S209.

[0118] In S211, after the aromatherapy device is controlled to operate at the target operating power, the fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located is obtained through the above-mentioned odor detection module.

[0119] In S212, based on the aroma concentration obtained in S211, it is determined whether the aroma concentration is less than the target aroma concentration.

[0120] If the fragrance concentration is less than the target fragrance concentration, it means that the operation time of the fragrance device is not long enough to meet the user's needs. At this time, the fragrance device is controlled to continue to run, that is, S213 is executed to increase the indoor fragrance concentration through the operation of the fragrance device to reach the target fragrance concentration.

[0121] After the aromatherapy device is controlled to continue to run, the process returns to S210 to continue to monitor the indoor fragrance concentration in order to better adjust the indoor air quality.

[0122] If the fragrance concentration is greater than or equal to the target fragrance concentration, it means that the fragrance concentration in the room is sufficient and can meet the needs of the user. At this time, the aromatherapy device is controlled to stop running, that is, S214 is executed.

[0123] It should be noted that when the fragrance concentration is less than the target fragrance concentration, it is not necessary to control the fragrance device to continue running and further control the opening or closing of the fragrance device based on the fragrance concentration. Instead, the fragrance device may be controlled to continue running for a preset time and then stop running. For example, the fragrance device may be controlled to continue running for 30 minutes and then stop running, etc.

[0124] It should be noted that it is also possible to determine whether to turn off the aromatherapy device not based on the comparison result between the fragrance concentration and the target fragrance concentration, but to compare the fragrance concentration with the concentration threshold, and determine whether to turn off the aromatherapy device based on the comparison result between the fragrance concentration and the concentration threshold. The concentration threshold can be set by the user, or determined and stored by the designer through experiments, experience, etc. Alternatively, it is determined whether to turn off the aromatherapy device based on the difference between the target fragrance concentration and the fragrance concentration. Specifically, when the difference is greater than or equal to the difference threshold, the aromatherapy device is controlled to continue to run, and when the difference is less than the difference threshold, the aromatherapy device is controlled to turn off. Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select a specific method of controlling the aromatherapy device based on the fragrance concentration according to the specific application scenario, as long as the fragrance concentration in the space can be adjusted to a more appropriate range.

[0125] Through the above control method, by first determining the target operating power based on the user attributes and the current time point, and then controlling the opening and closing of the aromatherapy device based on the actual fragrance concentration, the fragrance concentration in the space can be adjusted to an appropriate range to meet the user's needs without the user performing any operation.

[0126] It should be noted that although the above is explained by taking the order of executing S200, S202, S205, and S211 in sequence as an example, it is obviously only an exemplary description and is not restrictive. Without deviating from the basic principles of the present application, S200, S202, S205, and S211 can obviously be executed simultaneously, or in the order of S200, S205, S202, S211, or S202, S200, S205, S211, S202, S200, S211, S205, S200, S202, S211, S205, etc. It should also be noted that although the above is explained by taking the example of executing S200 and S201 first and then executing S202 to S204, it is obviously also possible to execute S202 to S204 first and then execute S200 and S201, as long as the target fragrance concentration and target operating time are determined before determining the benchmark time and benchmark power.

[0127] It should be noted that when controlling the operation of the aromatherapy device based on user attributes, the current time point and the fragrance concentration, it is also possible not to first determine the target operating power based on the user attributes and the current time point, but to determine the expected operating time based on the current time point, and after controlling the aromatherapy device to operate at a fixed power for the expected operating time, obtain the fragrance concentration in the space, and determine the target fragrance concentration based on the user attributes. If the fragrance concentration is greater than or equal to the target fragrance concentration, the aromatherapy device is controlled to shut down. If the fragrance concentration is less than the target fragrance concentration, the aromatherapy device continues to be controlled to operate at the power for the expected operating time, and then the operation of the aromatherapy device is controlled based on the comparison between the fragrance concentration and the target fragrance concentration. Without departing from the basic principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can flexibly select a specific method of controlling the operation of the aromatherapy device based on user attributes, the current time point and the fragrance concentration according to the specific application scenario, as long as the fragrance concentration in the space can be adjusted to a more appropriate range.

[0128] In summary, in the preferred technical solution of the present invention, the operation of the aromatherapy device is controlled based on the user attributes of the human body in the space where the aromatherapy device is located, the current time point, and the fragrance concentration, and the type of the human body in the space where the aromatherapy device is located, the current time point, and the actual fragrance concentration in the space are comprehensively considered. In this way, the aromatherapy device can be controlled according to the actual needs of the user, and the fragrance concentration in the space where the aromatherapy device is located can be adjusted to a more appropriate level without manual operation by the user, which effectively improves the intelligence of the aromatherapy device, so that it can better meet the needs of the user and improve the user experience. By first determining the target operating power of the aromatherapy device based on the user attributes and the current time point, and controlling the aromatherapy device to operate at the target operating power, and then controlling the aromatherapy device to continue to turn on or off based on the actual fragrance concentration and the target fragrance concentration, the operation of the aromatherapy device can be controlled to better meet the actual needs of the user and the actual situation, so as to better meet the needs of the user.
