[0036] In this embodiment of the disclosure, smart home appliances refer to home appliances formed by introducing microprocessors, sensor technology and network communication technology into home appliances. They have the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent sensing and intelligent application. The operation of smart home appliances often relies on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet and electronic chips. For example, smart home appliances can be connected to electronic devices to enable users to remotely control and manage smart home appliances.

[0037] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal device refers to an electronic device with wireless connectivity. The terminal device can communicate with the above-mentioned smart home appliances by connecting to the Internet, or it can directly communicate via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. FiThe device can communicate with the aforementioned smart home appliances through various means. In some embodiments, the terminal device is, for example, a mobile device, a computer, or an in-vehicle device built into a hovercraft, or any combination thereof. Mobile devices may include, for example, mobile phones, smart home devices, wearable devices, smart mobile devices, virtual reality devices, or any combination thereof, wherein wearable devices include, for example, smartwatches, smart bracelets, pedometers, etc.

[0038] This disclosure provides a dehumidification device, which includes a refrigerant circuit mainly composed of a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device, and an evaporator. The dehumidification device uses the evaporator for cooling, causing water vapor in the air to pre-condense into condensate, thereby reducing the humidity of the air in the environment and achieving the dehumidification effect. Specifically, the dehumidification device can be a dehumidifier, an air conditioner with dehumidification function, etc.

[0039] Optionally, the dehumidifier is equipped with a local dehumidification module, which includes a moisture-absorbing structure with moisture-absorbing material. This allows for indoor humidity regulation without lowering the temperature, even when users are present, using moisture-absorbing materials or other methods. Alternatively, moisture-absorbing materials can be combined with refrigeration dehumidification to simultaneously meet the different humidity control requirements of different locations within the room.

[0040] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method for controlling a dehumidifier is provided, comprising: acquiring user detection information in the room when it is determined that the room where the dehumidifier is located has a dehumidification requirement; determining a target dehumidification strategy based on the user detection information; and controlling the dehumidifier to execute the target dehumidification strategy.

[0041] Optionally, the entity executing the above method can be a dehumidifier. Specifically, when the control module of the dehumidifier determines that the room where the dehumidifier is located has a dehumidification requirement, it acquires user detection information in the room; based on the user detection information, the control module of the dehumidifier determines a target dehumidification strategy; and the control module of the dehumidifier generates control instructions corresponding to the target dehumidification strategy to enable the dehumidifier to execute the target dehumidification strategy.

[0042] Optionally, the dehumidifier can have an associated server, which can be deployed on a cloud server or a separately configured smart gateway. The server and the dehumidifier have a communication connection, enabling information transmission between them. Specifically, when the server determines that the room where the dehumidifier is located has a dehumidification need, it obtains user detection information within the room; based on the user detection information, the server determines a target dehumidification strategy; and the server sends control commands corresponding to the target dehumidification strategy to the dehumidifier to control the dehumidifier to execute the target dehumidification strategy.

[0043] Combination Figure 1As shown, the method for controlling a dehumidification device may specifically include the following steps:

[0044] S10. If it is determined that the room where the dehumidifier is located has a dehumidification requirement, the control module obtains the user detection information in the room.

[0045] S20: The control module determines the target dehumidification strategy based on the user's detection information.

[0046] S30, the control module controls the dehumidification equipment to execute the target dehumidification strategy.

[0047] The method for controlling dehumidification equipment provided in this disclosure acquires detection information of users in rooms requiring dehumidification, and then controls the dehumidification equipment to operate automatically based on this information. This effectively reduces indoor humidity while ensuring user comfort. Different dehumidification strategies are adopted depending on whether a user is indoors, ensuring that indoor humidity remains within a reasonable range and thus guaranteeing the applicability of the humidity control method.

[0048] In this embodiment, the target dehumidification strategy includes a target dehumidification method and target operating parameters under the target dehumidification method. Specifically, these parameters include the indoor fan speed, outdoor fan speed, compressor operating frequency, and heat exchanger efficiency, which are relevant parameters that allow for adjustment of indoor heat exchange efficiency. Thus, by adjusting the dehumidification equipment in multiple dimensions, the desired dehumidification target under different dehumidification strategies can be achieved.

[0049] In some embodiments, the control module determines the target dehumidification strategy based on user detection information, including: when the user detection information indicates that there is no one in the associated area, the control module determines that the target dehumidification method is cooling dehumidification; the control module determines the target operating parameters for cooling dehumidification based on the ambient humidity.

[0050] In this way, if the user detection information indicates that there are no users in the associated area, the humidity adjustment in that area does not need to consider the user's perceived temperature. At this time, a cooling and dehumidification method is adopted. The control module determines the target operating parameters for the dehumidification equipment to operate in cooling and dehumidification mode based on the ambient humidity, so as to quickly adjust the humidity in the associated area to the expected reasonable humidity range.

[0051] Specifically, users will feel an unusually damp environment when the indoor humidity is greater than 80%. In this case, set the target humidity for dehumidification to 60%, adjust the fan to run at maximum airflow and high speed, quickly draw in air to increase air circulation and accelerate the evaporation of water vapor in the air.

[0052] Users will feel damp when the indoor humidity is greater than 60%. At this time, set the target humidity for dehumidification to 40%, adjust the fan to run at a medium airflow, and draw in air evenly so that the water vapor in the air evaporates at a uniform rate.

[0053] Users will feel relatively comfortable when the indoor humidity is above 40%, without feeling overly damp. At this time, set the target humidity for dehumidification to 40%, adjust the fan to run at the lowest airflow, and slowly draw in air to maintain a certain level of moisture in the air.

[0054] In addition, when the indoor humidity is less than 40%, set the target humidity for dehumidification to 40% and adjust the fan to run at the lowest airflow. After a set running time, such as 20 minutes, if the indoor humidity fluctuations are stable, control the dehumidification equipment to stop adjusting the humidity in the associated area.

[0055] Optionally, the control module determines the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification based on the ambient humidity, including: the control module acquiring seasonal information; and the control module determining the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification based on the ambient humidity and seasonal information.

[0056] In this way, by acquiring seasonal information, the dehumidifier can determine whether the outdoor environment can be regulated by the fresh air system in conjunction with the indoor humidity, thereby achieving whole-house ventilation while dehumidifying, further enhancing the user experience.

[0057] Furthermore, the operating cycle of dehumidification can be determined based on seasonal information and / or regional information. This allows for adjusting the frequency of different dehumidification modes according to seasonal variations in the area, thereby increasing the flexibility of the dehumidification equipment's operation. For example, the frequency of dehumidification can be increased during rainy seasons and decreased during dry seasons.

[0058] As an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S20 may specifically include the following steps:

[0059] S21. If the user detection information indicates that there is no one in the associated area, the control module determines that the target dehumidification method is cooling dehumidification.

[0060] S22, The control module obtains seasonal information.

[0061] S23. The control module determines the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification based on ambient humidity and seasonal information.

[0062] The method for controlling dehumidification equipment provided in this disclosure obtains seasonal information to determine whether the outdoor environment can be regulated by combining a fresh air system with indoor humidity control. Based on the ambient humidity and seasonal information, the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification are comprehensively determined to achieve whole-house ventilation while regulating humidity, thus improving the user experience. Alternatively, based on the ambient humidity and seasonal information, the dehumidification mode can be activated in advance to prevent mold growth on surfaces such as walls or damp clothing. Specifically, localized heating and dehumidification can be achieved by delivering hot air to designated objects.

[0063] Optionally, the control module determines the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification based on ambient humidity and seasonal information, including: the control module obtaining a dehumidification information database, which stores multiple seasons and reference humidity and fan speed settings corresponding to different ambient humidity levels in different seasons; the control module determining reference humidity and fan speed settings that match the seasonal information and conform to the ambient humidity from the dehumidification information database; and the control module setting the determined reference humidity and fan speed settings as the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification.

[0064] In this way, by using information from different seasons, the system selects the reference humidity and fan speed settings that best suit the current humidity control needs. This ensures that humidity regulation is more scientific or more in line with user habits.

[0065] As an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, step S23 can specifically include the following steps:

[0066] S231. The control module obtains the dehumidification information database, which stores multiple seasons, as well as the reference humidity and wind speed settings corresponding to different environmental humidity levels in different seasons.

[0067] S232. The control module determines a reference humidity and fan speed setting that matches the seasonal information and conforms to the ambient humidity from the dehumidification information database.

[0068] S233, The control module determines the reference humidity and fan speed setting as the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification.

[0069] The method for controlling dehumidification equipment provided in this disclosure uses multiple seasons stored in a dehumidification information database, along with reference humidity and fan speed settings corresponding to different environmental humidity levels in different seasons, to determine reference humidity and fan speed settings that match the current seasonal information and conform to the environmental humidity, thereby more accurately adjusting the indoor environmental humidity or the humidity of local areas where indoor objects are located.

[0070] Optionally, the control module determines the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification based on ambient humidity and seasonal information, and further includes: when the seasonal information matches the reference season, the control module obtains the surface condition information of the target object in the room; the control module determines the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification based on ambient humidity and the surface condition information of the target object.

[0071] In this way, by using information on ambient humidity and the surface condition of the target object, the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification are determined. This allows for targeted dehumidification of specific indoor areas to meet the humidity requirements of different items in different seasons. For example, if the season information indicates winter and the outdoor temperature is below 15°C, the dehumidifier can be linked with other smart home appliances to adjust the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification. This ensures that while achieving a certain level of cooling and dehumidification, the indoor temperature remains within a suitable range.

[0072] As an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S23 may further include the following steps:

[0073] S234. When the seasonal information matches the reference season, the control module obtains the surface state information of the target object in the room.

[0074] S235. The control module determines the target operating parameters for cooling and dehumidification based on the ambient humidity and the surface condition information of the target object.

[0075] The method for controlling dehumidification equipment provided in this disclosure determines the target operating parameters for refrigeration and dehumidification based on the ambient humidity and the surface condition information of the target object, provided that the seasonal information matches the reference season.

[0076] For example, if the detection indicates a high probability of rain on the day of detection, or if there are several consecutive cloudy or rainy days, the home will be quite humid. In this case, the dehumidification function is activated, using moisture-absorbing rods made of special absorbent materials to accelerate the airflow in the area where the items to be dehumidified are located, causing the moisture in the air to be absorbed by the rods and expelled from the room. If no one is detected indoors and the humidity is greater than 80%, the sensor identifies the specific location of user-defined items or items susceptible to moisture. Examples include bedding such as blankets, sheets, and pillows in summer, undried clothing, and baby toys. If these items are within the dehumidification device's effective range, the device is controlled to run at high speed and directly blow heat onto the items for localized heating and dehumidification. For undried clothing in high places, the dehumidification device can be linked with other smart home appliances to circulate hot air throughout the house or in specific areas after determining the target location. This heat is then transferred to the specific clothing through conduction and convection for rapid drying. Similarly, this can also be applied to bedding. The dehumidifier is set to its maximum dehumidification power, simultaneously coordinating with other smart home appliances to accelerate indoor air circulation, thereby rapidly reducing the humidity in areas requiring localized dehumidification or on items needing dehumidification. Furthermore, the dehumidification mode stops operating when the local humidity drops below 40%.

[0077] In some embodiments, the dehumidifier is provided with a local dehumidification module, which includes a moisture-absorbing structure with a moisture-absorbing material; the control module determines the target dehumidification strategy based on user detection information, and further includes: when the user detection information indicates that there are people in the associated area, the control module determines that the target dehumidification method is local dehumidification; wherein, local dehumidification includes controlling the operation of the local dehumidification module and controlling the air supply of the dehumidifier.

[0078] In this way, when the user detection information indicates that someone is in the associated area, localized dehumidification can be applied to the user's location. For example, dehumidification can be performed only in unoccupied areas, while occupied areas are left untouched; or, cooling dehumidification can be applied to unoccupied areas, while heating dehumidification can be applied to occupied areas. Based on the different dehumidification operations, the corresponding localized dehumidification modules are controlled to avoid direct exposure to low temperatures to the user, ensuring a better user experience.

[0079] Optionally, after determining that the target dehumidification method is local dehumidification, the method for controlling the dehumidification equipment further includes: the control module acquiring layout information of the room where the dehumidification equipment is located; and the control module determining the air supply direction and air volume of the dehumidification equipment based on the layout information.

[0080] In this way, by obtaining the layout of the room, the dehumidification equipment that can be applied to the area to be dehumidified can be identified. The airflow direction of the dehumidification equipment is then adjusted to the area to be dehumidified, and the airflow volume of the dehumidification equipment is determined based on the distance between the area and the dehumidification equipment, to ensure that the dehumidification effect in the area to be dehumidified meets expectations.

[0081] As an alternative embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, step S20 may further include the following steps:

[0082] S24. If the user detection information indicates that there are people in the associated area, the control module determines that the target dehumidification method is local dehumidification.

[0083] S25, The control module obtains the layout information of the room where the dehumidification equipment is located.

[0084] S26. The control module determines the air supply direction and air volume of the dehumidification equipment based on the layout information.

[0085] When using the method for controlling a dehumidifier provided in this disclosure, if user detection information indicates that someone is in the associated area, the operating state must consider user comfort. Therefore, localized dehumidification can be performed based on the user's location. Specifically, dehumidification can be performed only on unoccupied areas, or heating dehumidification can be performed on the user's area to avoid cold air blowing directly on the user and causing discomfort.

[0086] Furthermore, based on the layout information, the location of each item susceptible to moisture, or the specific damp surfaces of those items, can be identified. This allows for targeted dehumidification, prioritizing the avoidance of potential negative effects from damp environments. Simultaneously, it avoids the discomfort caused to users by whole-house cooling and dehumidification when they are present.

[0087] Optionally, after obtaining the layout information of the room where the dehumidifier is located, the control module identifies the areas susceptible to humidity that need to be dehumidified. The control module obtains local odor information for these areas. Based on this local odor information, the control module determines the dehumidification mode for those areas.

[0088] In this situation, if an odor has already appeared in the area to be dehumidified, mold or other substances may be present. In this case, first control a cleaning device such as a robot vacuum cleaner to clean the area, then control the dehumidifier to dehumidify the area. Simultaneously, the dehumidifier itself or in conjunction with its smart home appliances will remove the odor. When using smart home appliances to remove odors, prioritize odor removal efficiency and adjust the dehumidifier's airflow direction and volume accordingly to ensure effective odor removal.

[0089] Optionally, after obtaining the layout information of the room where the dehumidifier is located, the control module obtains the whole-house odor information. Based on the whole-house odor information and layout information, the control module determines the area with concentrated odors as the target area. Based on seasonal information, the control module determines the dehumidification mode for the target area.

[0090] This prevents newly discovered odor areas from being overlooked. The concentration of the odor helps identify areas that need odor removal. When outdoor humidity is low, a fresh air system can be used in conjunction with dehumidification to aid odor removal. When outdoor humidity is high, cooling dehumidification can be used in conjunction with other smart appliances to remove odors, or dehumidification can be performed after other appliances have finished removing the odors.

[0091] Optionally, when the dehumidifier is associated with multiple rooms, the control module acquires relevant detection information for each room. Based on the ambient humidity and relevant detection information of each room, the control module determines the priority information for each room. Following the priority information, the control module controls the dehumidifier to dehumidify each room sequentially.

[0092] In this way, dehumidification is performed sequentially according to the dehumidification priority of each room to ensure a good user experience. The specific priority is determined by a combination of factors, including room humidity, presence of users in the room, frequency of room use, room orientation, and seasonal information. This allows for sequential cleaning based on user habits.

Optionally, the apparatus may further include a communication interface 203 and a bus 204.
