Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner control method and system, and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] At present, the control method of air conditioners is mainly to detect the room temperature and adjust it to the allowable range of the set temperature. However, when the user enters the sleep state, the body's metabolism will decrease by 30%-50%, and the body temperature will also decrease, causing the temperature set before going to bed to become inappropriate, affecting the user's comfort. Therefore, how to make the air conditioner's sleep mode automatically identify changes in user needs, and dynamically adjust according to these changes, and actively provide users with a more comfortable sleeping environment, has become an important direction for the development of intelligent air conditioners.

[0003] The human body's demand for ambient temperature is a dynamic process. In order to maintain normal physiological functions, the human body needs to keep its temperature within a suitable range. The less energy consumed to maintain this temperature, the higher the human body's comfort. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an air conditioning control method that can dynamically adjust the temperature according to user needs. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a control method and system for an air conditioner, and an air conditioner, which can adjust the air supply volume and preset temperature in real time according to the user's body temperature changes and the time of entering the sleep mode to dynamically adapt to the user's needs. This control method can actively optimize the operation of the air conditioner according to the temperature demand changes during the user's sleep, and provide a more comfortable sleeping environment.

[0005] The present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, which is used to control the operation of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is in a sleep mode. The control method includes: controlling the air conditioner to enter the sleep mode, obtaining the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature of a human body; judging whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range; if so, adjusting the air conditioner to a target temperature according to the length of time after the air conditioner enters the sleep mode; if not, re-obtaining the real-time body surface temperature and comparing it with the set body surface temperature.

[0006] This control method can automatically adjust the air-conditioning temperature according to the real-time changes in the human body surface temperature, avoiding the overly fixed temperature setting in the traditional sleep mode, thereby providing a more comfortable sleeping environment. By dynamically adjusting the air-conditioning operating temperature according to the changes in the human body surface temperature, it can avoid the air-conditioning from running in an unnecessary temperature range for a long time, which helps to save energy and reduce energy consumption. The present invention obtains and compares the body surface temperature in real time, and intelligently adjusts the operating state of the air-conditioning, thereby improving the automation and intelligence level of the air-conditioning and reducing the need for manual adjustment by the user. Compared with the traditional fixed temperature control mode of the air-conditioning, the present invention provides a more humane and automatically adaptive temperature control method, which can better adapt to the changes in the user's body temperature during sleep and improve the overall user experience.

[0007] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the sleep mode to obtain the real-time surface temperature and set surface temperature of the human body, which specifically includes: controlling the air conditioner to enter the sleep mode to obtain the set surface temperature of the human body; controlling the detection device of the air conditioner to detect the target area to obtain the real-time surface temperature of the human body.

[0008] After the air conditioner enters sleep mode, the system automatically obtains the body surface temperature set by the user, that is, the desired comfortable body temperature value; the air conditioner's detection device monitors the target area in real time, such as the sleeping area where the user is, to obtain the real-time body surface temperature of the human body. According to the difference between the real-time body surface temperature obtained and the set body surface temperature, the system automatically adjusts the air supply volume and the preset temperature, thereby dynamically optimizing the operation of the air conditioner and maintaining the temperature comfort of the user during sleep.

[0009] In any of the above technical solutions, the detection device is an infrared sensor; the detection device that controls the air conditioner detects the target area and obtains the real-time surface temperature of the human body, specifically including: controlling the infrared sensor to scan the target area, and the infrared sensor converts the received radiation into an electrical signal to obtain the real-time surface temperature of the human body.

[0010] By scanning the target area with an infrared sensor, the real-time human body surface temperature can be accurately detected, and the air-conditioning operating parameters can be dynamically adjusted to meet the user's temperature comfort needs during sleep.

[0011] In any of the above technical solutions, determining whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range specifically includes: determining whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature satisfies d≤a; wherein d is the difference and a is the temperature threshold.

[0012] By judging whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature meets the preset range conditions, the operating state of the air conditioner is dynamically controlled to ensure the accurate maintenance of human body temperature comfort.

[0013] In any of the above technical solutions, the air conditioner is adjusted to the target temperature according to the time after the air conditioner enters the sleep mode, specifically including: determining the air conditioner sleep time according to the time after the air conditioner enters the sleep mode, obtaining the air conditioner sleep time, the air conditioner time threshold and the air conditioner preset temperature; when the air conditioner sleep time exceeds the air conditioner time threshold, using the sum of the air conditioner preset temperature and the corrected temperature as the target temperature.

[0014] By monitoring the operating time of the air conditioner after entering sleep mode, and combining the preset temperature and the corrected temperature, the target temperature can be dynamically adjusted to optimize the user's sleeping comfort and energy saving effect. When the air conditioner enters sleep mode, the system starts timing and determines the air conditioner's sleep time. A preset air conditioner time threshold indicates the boundary of the sleep time based on which the temperature is adjusted. When the air conditioner's sleep time exceeds the air conditioner time threshold, the dynamic adjustment mechanism of the target temperature is triggered.

[0015] In any of the above technical solutions, when the air conditioner sleep time exceeds the air conditioner time threshold, the sum of the air conditioner preset temperature and the corrected temperature is used as the target temperature, specifically including: when the air conditioner sleep time is greater than the first time threshold, the sum of the air conditioner preset temperature and the corrected temperature is used as the first target temperature; when the air conditioner sleep time is greater than the second time threshold, the sum of the first target temperature and the corrected temperature is used as the second target temperature; when the air conditioner sleep time is greater than the third time threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to stop running; wherein, the first time threshold < the second time threshold < the third time threshold.

[0016] By monitoring the air conditioner's sleep duration and setting multiple duration thresholds and corresponding temperature adjustment mechanisms, the air conditioner's operating temperature is gradually optimized until the user's sleep needs are met or the air conditioner is controlled to stop running. This method can more accurately adapt to the user's sleep temperature needs at different stages, further improving comfort and energy saving effects.

[0017] In any of the above technical solutions, after determining whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range, it also includes: adjusting the wind speed of the air conditioner to a first wind speed; wherein the wind speed when the air conditioner enters sleep mode is a second wind speed, and the first wind speed is less than the second wind speed.

[0018] By monitoring the difference between the user's real-time skin temperature and the set skin temperature, combined with the wind speed adjustment mechanism, the air conditioning operation effect in sleep mode is optimized. This method aims to provide a more comfortable and energy-saving sleeping environment, especially when the human body temperature fluctuates, the user's comfort can be further improved through automatic adjustment of the wind speed.

[0019] The present invention also provides a control system for an air conditioner, which adopts the control method as described above, and the control system includes: an acquisition module, used to control the air conditioner to enter a sleep mode, and obtain the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature of the human body; a judgment module, used to judge whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range; if so, adjusting the air conditioner to the target temperature according to the length of time after the air conditioner enters the sleep mode; if not, re-acquiring the real-time body surface temperature and comparing it with the set body surface temperature.

[0020] The control system obtains the real-time surface temperature of the human body and the set surface temperature, determines whether the temperature difference is within the preset range, and adjusts the temperature and wind speed based on the length of time the air conditioner has entered sleep mode, ensuring that users maintain a comfortable and energy-saving experience in sleep mode. The system is modularly designed and combined with existing air conditioning hardware. It can be implemented through software control logic without complex hardware modification, which is easy to promote and apply. Real-time body temperature monitoring and dynamic adjustment mechanism reduce the need for users to manually adjust the temperature and wind speed during sleep, improving the user's smart home experience.

[0021] In any of the above technical solutions, the control system also includes: an adjustment module, which is used to adjust the air conditioner to the target temperature according to the length of time after the air conditioner enters the sleep mode when the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range.

[0022] The system monitors the human body surface temperature in real time and sets the body surface temperature, and uses the adjustment module to automatically and dynamically adjust the target temperature of the air conditioner. The system ensures the user's comfort and energy saving in sleep mode by linking the sleep duration with the temperature difference.

[0023] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising: the control system as described above; and a detection device, the detection device being used to detect the real-time body surface temperature of a human body.

[0024] The air conditioner realizes dynamic monitoring and adjustment of the real-time human body surface temperature through integrated control system and detection device. The system automatically adjusts the target temperature of the air conditioner according to the difference between the human body surface temperature and the set temperature, combined with the duration of sleep mode, to provide an efficient, comfortable and intelligent temperature management solution.

[0025] After adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the following technical effects can be achieved: At present, air conditioners on the market cannot automatically adjust the temperature setting according to the user's body temperature requirements after turning on the sleep mode, which may cause the user to feel uncomfortable during sleep. The present invention installs an infrared sensor in the air conditioner indoor unit to monitor the user's body temperature in real time, and intelligently adjusts the air supply direction, air volume and preset temperature according to the monitoring data, thereby solving the user's discomfort problem in sleep mode and significantly improving the comfort level. In addition, the present invention effectively reduces user complaints about the air conditioner sleep mode and provides a more scientific and considerate sleeping experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and easily understood from the description of the embodiments in conjunction with the following drawings, in which: Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The present invention introduces an innovative control method for air conditioning, which is specially designed for sleep mode. By equipping the air conditioner indoor unit with an infrared sensor, the system can monitor the body temperature of users in the room in real time. When entering sleep mode, the air conditioner will intelligently adjust the air supply direction, air volume and indoor temperature to improve the user's sleep comfort. The core temperature of the human body is usually about 37°C, while the surface temperature ranges from 20°C to 37°C. Studies have shown that when the core temperature is 37°C and the surface temperature is about 34°C, the human body has the lowest thermal regulation demand and the highest comfort. In sleep mode, the air conditioner will gradually increase the appropriate temperature according to the sleep time, so that the user can enjoy a good sleeping environment within 8 hours throughout the night.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, which is used to control the operation of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is in sleep mode, and the control method includes: controlling the air conditioner to enter the sleep mode, obtaining the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature of the human body; judging whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range; if so, adjusting the air conditioner to the target temperature according to the length of time after the air conditioner enters the sleep mode; if not, re-obtaining the real-time body surface temperature and comparing it with the set body surface temperature.

[0030] The present invention proposes a control method for an air conditioner, which is particularly suitable for operation control when the air conditioner is in sleep mode. First, the air conditioner is controlled to enter sleep mode, and the real-time body surface temperature of the human body and the set target body surface temperature are obtained; then, according to the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature, it is judged whether the difference is within a preset range. If the difference is within the preset range, the next step is entered; if the difference is not within the preset range, the real-time body surface temperature is continuously monitored and re-obtained. If the difference is within the preset range, the temperature setting value of the air conditioner is automatically adjusted to the target temperature according to the time when the air conditioner enters sleep mode to ensure human comfort.

[0031] In sleep mode, the adjustment of the air conditioner usually takes into account the comfort of the human body, especially as the human body surface temperature changes over time. In order to provide a better sense of comfort, the present invention adjusts the temperature of the air conditioner according to the difference between the real-time surface temperature of the human body and the set target surface temperature. By judging the difference between the real-time surface temperature and the set surface temperature, it is ensured that the temperature adjusted by the air conditioner in sleep mode is more in line with the needs of the human body. If the surface temperature changes greatly, the system will re-acquire and compare the surface temperature, so as to more accurately adjust the operating state of the air conditioner. The present invention also combines the operating time of the air conditioner after entering the sleep mode to adjust the air conditioner to the target temperature to ensure that the comfort of the human body is not affected during long-term use.

[0032] This control method can automatically adjust the air-conditioning temperature according to the real-time changes in the human body surface temperature, avoiding the overly fixed temperature setting in the traditional sleep mode, thereby providing a more comfortable sleeping environment. By dynamically adjusting the air-conditioning operating temperature according to the changes in the human body surface temperature, it can avoid the air-conditioning from running in an unnecessary temperature range for a long time, which helps to save energy and reduce energy consumption. The present invention obtains and compares the body surface temperature in real time, and intelligently adjusts the operating state of the air-conditioning, thereby improving the automation and intelligence level of the air-conditioning and reducing the need for manual adjustment by the user. Compared with the traditional fixed temperature control mode of the air-conditioning, the present invention provides a more humane and automatically adaptive temperature control method, which can better adapt to the changes in the user's body temperature during sleep and improve the overall user experience.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner is controlled to enter a sleep mode to obtain the real-time surface temperature and set surface temperature of a human body, specifically including: controlling the air conditioner to enter a sleep mode to obtain the set surface temperature of the human body; controlling the detection device of the air conditioner to detect a target area to obtain the real-time surface temperature of the human body.

[0034] After the air conditioner enters sleep mode, the system automatically obtains the body surface temperature set by the user, that is, the desired comfortable body temperature value; the air conditioner's detection device monitors the target area in real time, such as the sleeping area where the user is, to obtain the real-time body surface temperature of the human body. According to the difference between the real-time body surface temperature obtained and the set body surface temperature, the system automatically adjusts the air supply volume and the preset temperature, thereby dynamically optimizing the operation of the air conditioner and maintaining the temperature comfort of the user during sleep.

[0035] The user can pre-set the ideal body surface temperature through the air conditioning system. For example, the user can select a comfortable target temperature value before falling asleep, which will serve as the reference parameter for system adjustment. The detection device of the air conditioner monitors the user's body surface temperature in real time and accurately obtains the user's current body surface temperature data. The detection device of the air conditioner can be an infrared sensor or a thermal imaging device. By comparing the difference between the set body surface temperature and the real-time body surface temperature, the air conditioning system adjusts the air supply volume and temperature setting as needed to maintain the set comfortable temperature. At the same time, the adjustment process will automatically optimize according to the different stages of the sleep cycle to avoid discomfort caused by too high or too low temperature to the user's sleep.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection device is an infrared sensor; the detection device that controls the air conditioner detects the target area to obtain the real-time surface temperature of the human body, specifically including: controlling the infrared sensor to scan the target area, and the infrared sensor converts the received radiation into an electrical signal to obtain the real-time surface temperature of the human body.

[0037] Some embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioning sleep mode temperature control method based on an infrared sensor, which scans the target area through the infrared sensor to achieve accurate detection of the real-time surface temperature of the human body, and dynamically adjusts the air conditioning operating parameters to meet the user's temperature comfort needs during sleep.

[0038] The human body surface continuously emits infrared radiation, and the infrared sensor can receive these radiation signals and convert them into corresponding electrical signals. Through a specific signal processing algorithm, the electrical signals are calculated and converted into real-time surface temperature data of the human body. The infrared sensor can perform a global scan of the target area to ensure real-time and accurate acquisition of the surface temperature of the human body, such as the user's bed or sleeping area.

[0039] The air conditioning system controls the infrared sensor to scan the target area periodically or continuously to ensure real-time update of temperature data. The system compares the detected real-time body surface temperature with the target body surface temperature set by the user and generates temperature control adjustment instructions. The system automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the air conditioner, such as the air supply temperature and wind speed, according to the real-time temperature data, so as to dynamically maintain the comfortable body surface temperature of the human body. The air conditioning adjustment process is continuous and can quickly respond to the user's body temperature changes to optimize the overall comfort experience.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, determining whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range specifically includes: determining whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature satisfies d≤a; wherein d is the difference and a is the temperature threshold.

[0041] Some embodiments of the present application further provide an intelligent temperature control method based on the judgment of the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature. Specifically, by judging whether the difference between the two meets the preset range conditions, the operating state of the air conditioner is dynamically controlled to ensure the accurate maintenance of human body temperature comfort.

[0042] The real-time surface temperature of the human body in the target area is detected by an infrared sensor and compared with the ideal surface temperature preset by the user. In the setting parameters, the difference d represents the absolute difference between the real-time surface temperature and the set surface temperature. The system compares the difference with the preset temperature threshold a. If the difference meets the conditions, that is, within the preset temperature threshold, the system maintains the current air conditioning operation state; if the difference exceeds the threshold, the system automatically adjusts the air conditioning operation parameters, such as temperature setting, wind speed, etc., so that the surface temperature gradually approaches the set temperature.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner is adjusted to a target temperature according to the length of time after the air conditioner enters the sleep mode, specifically including: determining the air conditioner sleep time according to the length of time after the air conditioner enters the sleep mode, obtaining the air conditioner sleep time, the air conditioner time threshold and the air conditioner preset temperature; when the air conditioner sleep time exceeds the air conditioner time threshold, using the sum of the air conditioner preset temperature and the corrected temperature as the target temperature.

[0044] By monitoring the operating time of the air conditioner after entering sleep mode, and combining the preset temperature and the corrected temperature, the target temperature can be dynamically adjusted to optimize the user's sleeping comfort and energy saving effect. When the air conditioner enters sleep mode, the system starts timing and determines the air conditioner's sleep time. A preset air conditioner time threshold indicates the boundary of the sleep time based on which the temperature is adjusted. When the air conditioner's sleep time exceeds the air conditioner time threshold, the dynamic adjustment mechanism of the target temperature is triggered.

[0045] The system presets an air conditioning preset temperature, which represents the ideal temperature set by the user, and also provides a correction temperature for fine-tuning the temperature when the sleep duration is longer. When the sleep duration exceeds the duration threshold, the system sets the target temperature to the sum of the preset temperature and the correction temperature, making the temperature more suitable for deep sleep or long-term use. After the temperature adjustment is completed, the system maintains the current state while continuing to monitor the sleep duration to ensure that the temperature is always optimized throughout the sleep process. It should be noted that the correction temperature can be flexibly set according to user needs, seasonal changes or human sleep stages. In addition, users can customize the air conditioning duration threshold according to individual differences to further enhance the personalized adaptability of the temperature control system.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, when the air conditioner sleep time exceeds the air conditioner time threshold, the sum of the air conditioner preset temperature and the corrected temperature is used as the target temperature, specifically including: when the air conditioner sleep time is greater than the first time threshold, the sum of the air conditioner preset temperature and the corrected temperature is used as the first target temperature; when the air conditioner sleep time is greater than the second time threshold, the sum of the first target temperature and the corrected temperature is used as the second target temperature; when the air conditioner sleep time is greater than the third time threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to stop running; wherein, the first time threshold < the second time threshold < the third time threshold.

[0047] This embodiment further proposes a method for dynamically adjusting the target temperature of the air conditioner based on the multi-stage sleep duration. Specifically, by monitoring the sleep duration of the air conditioner, and setting multiple duration thresholds and corresponding temperature adjustment mechanisms, the air conditioner operating temperature is gradually optimized until the user's sleep needs are met or the air conditioner is controlled to stop running. This method can more accurately adapt to the user's sleep temperature needs at different stages, further improving comfort and energy saving effects.

[0048] The system continuously monitors sleep duration at each stage to ensure that the temperature control mechanism is executed according to the predetermined duration threshold. The regulated target temperature remains stable until the trigger condition for the next stage is met. The temperature correction value for each stage can be customized according to user needs, season or human sleep physiological rhythm. The first, second and third duration thresholds can be flexibly adjusted according to the user's sleep duration characteristics to adapt to the sleep habits of different individuals.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, after determining whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range, it also includes: adjusting the wind speed of the air conditioner to a first wind speed; wherein the wind speed when the air conditioner enters sleep mode is a second wind speed, and the first wind speed is less than the second wind speed.

[0050] By monitoring the difference between the user's real-time skin temperature and the set skin temperature, combined with the wind speed adjustment mechanism, the air conditioning operation effect in sleep mode is optimized. This method aims to provide a more comfortable and energy-saving sleeping environment, especially when the human body temperature fluctuates, the user's comfort can be further improved through automatic adjustment of the wind speed.

[0051] When the system determines that the difference in body surface temperature is within a preset range, the wind speed adjustment mechanism is triggered. When the air conditioner is in sleep mode, and the difference between the user's real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range, that is, when the user is in a comfortable state, the wind speed of the air conditioner can be adjusted to the first wind speed, which is a low wind speed with soft wind and less noise to reduce interference with the user's sleep.

[0052] In air-conditioning sleep mode, the system optimizes both temperature and wind speed through the dual effects of target temperature adjustment and dynamic wind speed control, thus providing an environment that better suits human needs. By monitoring body surface temperature and adjusting wind speed, discomfort caused by excessive wind speed is avoided, while ensuring that the user is within the ideal body surface temperature range, significantly improving sleep quality.

[0053] The embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, taking summer cooling as an example: S1: when the user turns on the sleep mode; S2: control the infrared sensor to scan the detection area, and the sensor converts the received radiation into an electrical signal to monitor the human body temperature; S3: when |t 体表 When -34℃|≤2℃, enter S4, if not, return to S2; S4: adjust the wind speed to the lowest level, and the air guide door avoids direct blowing from the user; S5: when entering sleep mode t 睡眠 >2H, the preset temperature increases by 1℃; S6: When entering sleep mode t 睡眠 >6H, the preset temperature increases by 1℃ again; S7: When entering sleep mode t 睡眠 When the time is >8H, the air conditioner stops running.

[0054] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a control system for an air conditioner, which adopts the control method as described above, and the control system includes: an acquisition module, used to control the air conditioner to enter a sleep mode, and obtain the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature of the human body; a judgment module, used to judge whether the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range; if so, adjusting the air conditioner to the target temperature according to the length of time after the air conditioner enters the sleep mode; if not, re-acquiring the real-time body surface temperature and comparing it with the set body surface temperature.

[0055] The control system obtains the real-time surface temperature of the human body and the set surface temperature, determines whether the temperature difference is within the preset range, and adjusts the temperature and wind speed based on the length of time the air conditioner enters sleep mode, ensuring that users maintain a comfortable and energy-saving experience in sleep mode.

[0056] The acquisition module is responsible for controlling the air conditioner to enter sleep mode, and obtaining the user's body surface temperature and the target temperature set by the user in real time. The temperature data is realized through the temperature sensor. The judgment module calculates the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature. If the difference is within the preset range, the air conditioner is further adjusted to the target temperature according to the length of time after entering the sleep mode to ensure that the temperature control process is stable and meets the needs of the human body; if the difference is not within the preset range, the body surface temperature is re-acquired and re-compared to enter a new adjustment cycle.

[0057] The system is modularly designed and combined with existing air conditioning hardware. It can be realized through software control logic without complicated hardware modification, which is easy to promote and apply. Real-time body temperature monitoring and dynamic adjustment mechanism reduce the need for users to manually adjust the temperature and wind speed during sleep, and enhance the user's smart home experience.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the control system also includes: an adjustment module for adjusting the air conditioner to a target temperature according to the length of time after the air conditioner enters sleep mode when the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set body surface temperature is within a preset range.

[0059] The system monitors the human body surface temperature in real time and sets the body surface temperature, and uses the adjustment module to automatically and dynamically adjust the target temperature of the air conditioner. The system ensures the user's comfort and energy saving in sleep mode by linking the sleep duration with the temperature difference.

[0060] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner, comprising: the control system as described above; and a detection device, the detection device being used to detect the real-time surface temperature of a human body.

The system automatically adjusts the target temperature of the air conditioner according to the difference between the human body surface temperature and the set temperature, combined with the duration of sleep mode, to provide an efficient, comfortable and intelligent temperature management solution.

[0062] The detection device can monitor the human body surface temperature in real time and transmit the detection data to the control system. The adjustment module in the control system compares the received body surface temperature data with the set temperature. When the difference between the real-time body surface temperature and the set temperature is within the preset range, the air conditioner is dynamically adjusted to the target temperature in combination with the time when the air conditioner enters the sleep mode. The temperature adjustment gradually optimizes the temperature output according to the sleep duration and the physiological needs of the human body to ensure comfort and energy saving effects.
