[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0027] The present invention provides a sensor wake-up method for an air conditioner. The sensor may be a position sensor, including a camera and / or a millimeter-wave radar sensor. The sensor is used to collect user position data and obtain the user's position through calculation, and may be called a position sensor. For example, the user's image data is collected by a camera, and the user's position is obtained through an image recognition algorithm, and / or the user's position data is detected by a millimeter-wave radar sensor, and the user's position is obtained through algorithm calculation.

[0028] Figure 1 It is a method schematic diagram of an embodiment of a sensor wake-up method for an air conditioner provided by the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the sensor wake-up method at least includes step S110 and step S120.

[0030] Step S110, receiving a wake-up instruction issued by a preset wake-up device, and / or collecting two frames of images of the space, and comparing the two collected frames of images to determine whether there is any movement of an object in the space.

[0031] In a specific implementation, a wake-up instruction issued by a preset wake-up device is received, or two frames of images of the space are collected and compared to determine whether there is movement of an object in the space, wherein two frames of images of the space are collected at preset intervals and compared to determine whether there is movement of an object in the space. In another specific implementation, a wake-up instruction issued by a preset wake-up device is received, and when the wake-up instruction is received, it is further determined whether there is movement of an object in the space by comparing the two frames of images collected.

[0032] In a specific implementation, the preset wake-up device includes: a preset area of ​​the air conditioner, and receiving a wake-up instruction issued by the preset wake-up device includes: receiving a wake-up instruction issued by knocking on the preset area of ​​the air conditioner.

[0033] Specifically, a vibration sensor is provided on the air conditioner, and the vibration sensor detects a knock on a preset area of ​​the air conditioner. For example, a user knocks in the preset area of ​​the air conditioner, and a wake-up instruction for waking up the sensor is issued. When the vibration sensor detects the knock on the preset area of ​​the air conditioner, it is determined that the wake-up instruction is received.

[0034] In another specific embodiment, the preset wake-up device includes: a wearable device bound to the air conditioner, receiving a wake-up instruction issued by the preset wake-up device, including: receiving a wake-up instruction issued by wearing the wearable device bound to the air conditioner and performing a preset action.

[0035] Specifically, the user can issue the wake-up instruction by wearing a wearable device bound to the air conditioner and performing a preset action. The wearable device can be a wristband sensor, such as a gesture detection wristband, which can detect the user's hand movements, such as raising the hand. For example, the user can issue the wake-up instruction by wearing the wristband and performing a specified action. When it is recognized that the user is wearing the wristband and performing the specified action, it is determined that the wake-up instruction has been received.

[0036] In another specific implementation, the preset wake-up device includes: a mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner, and receiving a wake-up instruction issued by the preset wake-up device includes: receiving a wake-up instruction sent by the mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner.

[0037] Specifically, a wake-up button is added to the APP control interface installed in the mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner, and the user can issue the wake-up instruction by clicking the wake-up button. The wake-up instruction issued by clicking the wake-up button is received.

[0038] Step S120, when the wake-up instruction is received, and / or when it is determined by comparing the two captured images that an object is moving in the space, the sensor is awakened to collect user position data, and the user's position is obtained through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0039] In a specific implementation, when the wake-up instruction is received, the sensor is directly awakened to collect user position data, and the user's position is obtained through calculation to control the air conditioner.

[0040] For example, when receiving a wake-up command, the sensor directly starts the large model detection algorithm to detect the spatial distance and orientation of the human body, that is, to collect the user's orientation data and obtain the user's position through calculation.

[0041] Optionally, when the wake-up instruction is received, and / or when it is determined that there is movement of an object in the space by comparing two captured images, the sensor is woken up to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the sensor is controlled to collect user position data, and the user's position is obtained through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0042] In a specific implementation, when the wake-up instruction is received, the sensor is awakened to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the sensor is controlled to collect user position data, and the user's position is obtained through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0043] For example, when a wake-up command is received, the sensor is awakened to detect whether there is someone in the space. If someone is detected in the space, the sensor runs a human body space distance and direction detection algorithm, that is, collects user position data and obtains the user's position through calculation.

[0044] In another specific embodiment, when it is determined that there is movement of an object in the space by comparing two frames of captured images, the sensor is awakened to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the sensor is controlled to collect user position data, and the user's position is obtained through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0045] Specifically, two frames of images of the space are collected at preset intervals, and the two frames of images are compared to determine whether there is any movement of an object in the space; when it is determined by comparing the two frames of images that there is any movement of an object in the space, the sensor is awakened to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the sensor is controlled to collect user position data, and the user's position is obtained through calculation to control the air conditioner.

[0046] For example, every T time, the two frames of images collected before and after are subtracted to determine whether an object has moved. There is no need to detect displacement all the time, that is, detection is performed every preset time T. The preset time T can be obtained through experiments based on the sensitivity of detection required by the user. The sensitivity is, for example, how much displacement occurs within a certain period of time. The detection algorithm is continuously run according to the sensitivity requirements to determine the appropriate time T. If it is detected that an object has moved, the sensor is awakened to detect whether there is someone in the space. If it is detected that there is someone in the space, the sensor is controlled to detect the distance and direction of the human body space, that is, the user's position data is collected, and the user's position is obtained through calculation.

[0047] In another specific embodiment, when the wake-up instruction is received and when it is determined that there is movement of an object in the space by comparing the two captured images, the sensor is awakened to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the sensor is controlled to collect user position data, and the user's position is obtained through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0048] Specifically, when the wake-up instruction is received, two frames of images of the space are collected and compared to determine whether there is any object moving in the space; when it is determined that there is any object moving in the space by comparing the two frames of images, the sensor is woken up to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the sensor is controlled to collect user position data, and the user's position is obtained through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0049] For example, when a wake-up command is received, the two frames of the captured image are subtracted to determine whether an object has moved. There is no need to detect displacement all the time, that is, detection is performed every preset time T. The preset time T can be obtained through experiments based on the sensitivity of detection required by the user. If it is detected that an object has moved, the sensor is awakened to detect whether there is someone in the space. If it is detected that there is someone in the space, the sensor is controlled to detect the distance and direction of the human body space, that is, the user's position data is collected, and the user's position is obtained through calculation.

[0050] Furthermore, when the sensor detects that there is no one in the space, it stops collecting user position data and enters a sleep state to reduce chip power. For example, when the camera and / or millimeter wave radar sensor detects that there is no one in the space, the large model detection algorithm stops running and enters a sleep state.

[0051] In order to clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the execution process of the air conditioner sensor wake-up method provided by the present invention is described below with reference to several specific embodiments.

[0052] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the air conditioner sensor wake-up method provided by the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the wake-up device detects whether a wake-up command is received. If a wake-up command is received, the wake-up orientation sensor is activated. The orientation sensor runs a large model detection algorithm to detect the spatial distance and direction of the human body. When the orientation sensor detects that there is no one, the orientation sensor stops running the large model detection algorithm and enters a sleep state.

[0053] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the air conditioner sensor wake-up method provided by the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, every T time, the two frames of images are subtracted to determine whether there is displacement. If displacement is detected, the human body detection algorithm is run to detect whether there is a person. If no person is detected, it returns to continue to subtract the two frames of images every T time to determine whether there is displacement. If a person is detected, it enters the detection of human body space distance and direction. After the detection is completed, it returns to continue to subtract the two frames of images every T time to determine whether there is displacement.

[0054] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the air conditioner sensor wake-up method provided by the present invention. Figure 4As shown, the wake-up device is run to detect whether it is awakened. If it is detected that it is awakened, the displacement detection algorithm is run to detect whether there is displacement. If no displacement is detected, the step of returning to the wake-up device detection step is returned. If displacement is detected, the human body detection is run to detect whether there is a person. If no person is detected, the step of returning to the wake-up device detection step is returned. If a person is detected, after running the human body spatial distance and direction detection algorithm, the step of returning to the step of detecting whether there is displacement.

[0055] The present invention also provides a sensor wake-up method for an air conditioner. The sensor may specifically include: a camera and / or a millimeter wave radar sensor. The sensor is used to collect user position data and obtain the user's position through calculation, and may be called a position sensor. For example, the user's image data is collected by a camera, the user's position is obtained through an image recognition algorithm, and / or the user's position data is detected by a millimeter wave radar sensor, and the user's position is obtained through algorithm calculation.

[0056] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a structural block diagram of an embodiment of a sensor wake-up device for an air conditioner provided by the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the sensor awakening device 100 includes: a receiving unit 110 and / or a judging unit 120 , and also includes a control unit 130 .

[0057] The receiving unit 110 is configured to receive a wake-up instruction sent by a preset wake-up device.

[0058] In a specific implementation, the preset wake-up device includes: a preset area of ​​the air conditioner, and receiving a wake-up instruction issued by the preset wake-up device includes: receiving a wake-up instruction issued by knocking on the preset area of ​​the air conditioner.

[0059] Specifically, a vibration sensor is provided on the air conditioner, and the vibration sensor detects a knock on a preset area of ​​the air conditioner. For example, a user knocks in the preset area of ​​the air conditioner, and a wake-up instruction for waking up the sensor is issued. When the vibration sensor detects the knock on the preset area of ​​the air conditioner, it is determined that the wake-up instruction is received.

[0060] In another specific embodiment, the preset wake-up device includes: a wearable device bound to the air conditioner, receiving a wake-up instruction issued by the preset wake-up device, including: receiving a wake-up instruction issued by wearing the wearable device bound to the air conditioner and performing a preset action.

[0061] Specifically, the user can issue the wake-up instruction by wearing a wearable device bound to the air conditioner and performing a preset action. The wearable device can be a wristband sensor, such as a gesture detection wristband, which can detect the user's hand movements, such as raising the hand. For example, the user can issue the wake-up instruction by wearing the wristband and performing a specified action. When it is recognized that the user is wearing the wristband and performing the specified action, it is determined that the wake-up instruction has been received.

[0062] In another specific implementation, the preset wake-up device includes: a mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner, and receiving a wake-up instruction issued by the preset wake-up device includes: receiving a wake-up instruction sent by the mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner.

[0063] The judgment unit 120 is used to judge whether there is movement of an object in the space by collecting two frames of images in the space and comparing the two collected frames of images.

[0064] Specifically, the two frames of images before and after the space are continuously collected, and subtraction is performed on the two collected frames of images to determine whether there is any displacement of the object, that is, to determine whether there is any movement of the object in the space.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the receiving unit 110 receives a wake-up instruction issued by a preset wake-up device, or the judgment unit 120 collects two frames of images of the space and compares the two collected frames to determine whether there is movement of the object in the space. The judgment unit 120 collects two frames of images of the space at preset intervals and compares the two collected frames to determine whether there is movement of the object in the space. In another specific embodiment, the receiving unit 110 receives a wake-up instruction issued by a preset wake-up device, and when the receiving unit 110 receives the wake-up instruction, the judgment unit 120 determines whether there is movement of the object in the space by comparing the two collected frames.

[0066] The control unit 130 is used to wake up the sensor to collect user position data when the receiving unit receives the wake-up instruction and / or when the judgment unit determines that there is movement of an object in the space by comparing the two frames of images collected, and obtain the user's position through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0067] In a specific implementation, when the receiving unit 110 receives the wake-up instruction, the control unit 130 directly wakes up the sensor to collect user location data, and obtains the user's location through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0068] For example, when receiving a wake-up command, the sensor directly starts the large model detection algorithm to detect the spatial distance and orientation of the human body, that is, to collect the user's orientation data and obtain the user's position through calculation.

[0069] Optionally, when the receiving unit 110 receives the wake-up instruction, and / or when the judgment unit 120 determines that there is movement of an object in the space by comparing the two captured frames of images, the sensor is woken up to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the sensor is controlled to collect user position data, and the user's position is obtained through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, when the receiving unit 110 receives the wake-up instruction, the control unit 130 wakes up the sensor to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the control unit 130 controls the sensor to collect user position data, and obtains the user's position through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0071] For example, when the receiving unit 110 receives a wake-up command, the control unit 130 wakes up the sensor to detect whether there is someone in the space. If it is detected that there is someone in the space, the control unit 130 controls the sensor to run the human body space distance and direction detection algorithm, that is, collects user position data and obtains the user's position through calculation.

[0072] In another specific embodiment, when it is determined that there is movement of an object in the space by comparing two frames of captured images, the control unit 130 wakes up the sensor to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the control unit 130 controls the sensor to collect user position data, and obtains the user's position through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0073] Specifically, the judgment unit 120 collects two frames of images of the space at preset time intervals, and compares the two collected frames of images to determine whether there is any movement of an object in the space; when the judgment unit 120 determines that there is any movement of an object in the space by comparing the two collected frames of images, the control unit 130 wakes up the sensor to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the control unit 130 controls the sensor to collect user position data, and obtains the user's position through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

[0074] For example, the judgment unit 120 determines whether an object has moved by subtracting the two frames of images collected before and after every T time. There is no need to detect displacement all the time, that is, detection is performed every preset time T. The preset time T can be obtained through experiments based on the sensitivity of detection required by the user. The sensitivity is, for example, how much displacement occurs within a certain period of time, and the appropriate time T is determined by continuously running the detection algorithm based on the sensitivity requirement. If it is detected that an object has moved, the control unit 130 wakes up the sensor to detect whether there is someone in the space. If it is detected that there is someone in the space, the control unit 130 controls the sensor to detect the spatial distance and direction of the human body, that is, to collect user position data and obtain the user's position through calculation.

[0075] In another specific embodiment, when the receiving unit 110 receives the wake-up instruction and determines that there is movement of an object in the space by comparing the two captured images, the control unit 130 wakes up the sensor to detect whether there is someone in the space; if the sensor detects that there is someone in the space, the control unit 130 controls the sensor to collect user position data, and obtains the user's position through calculation for controlling the air conditioner.

There is no need to detect displacement all the time, that is, detection is performed every preset time T. The preset time T can be obtained through experiments based on the sensitivity of detection required by the user.

If it is detected that there is someone in the space, the control unit 130 controls the sensor to detect the distance and direction of the human body space, that is, to collect user position data and obtain the user's position through calculation.

[0078] Furthermore, the control unit 130 is also used to: when the sensor detects that there is no one in the space, the control unit 130 controls the sensor to stop collecting user position data and enter a sleep state to reduce chip power.
