Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a temperature regulation method, electronic equipment and a chip system. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioners are devices that can adjust and control ambient temperature and other characteristics, and can provide users with a more comfortable environment. As people's living standards improve, the use of air conditioners is becoming more and more common. For example, air conditioners are deployed in spaces such as houses and vehicles, and air conditioners can adjust the temperature in these spaces.

[0003] In current air conditioner usage scenarios, once all users in the air conditioner space leave, the air conditioner is usually turned off and turned on when the user returns to the air conditioner space. However, if the user leaves the air conditioner space for a short time and then returns to the air conditioner space many times, the air conditioner will be turned on and off frequently, which will cause the air conditioner to consume more energy and even reduce its service life.

[0004] Therefore, how to reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner after the user leaves the space where the air conditioner is located is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application provides a temperature adjustment method, an electronic device and a chip system for reducing the power consumption of an air conditioner.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a temperature adjustment method, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method comprises: in a first time period, controlling the temperature in a first space to be within a first temperature range, wherein the starting time of the first time period is a first time, the first time is the time when a user in the first space leaves the first space, and there is no user in the first space in the first time period; in a second time period after the first time period, if no user is detected entering the first space, controlling the temperature in the first space to be within a second temperature range; wherein the difference between a first value in the first temperature range and the temperature outside the first space is greater than the difference between a second value in the second temperature range and the temperature outside the first space; wherein the first value is at least one of an average value, an upper limit value, or a lower limit value of the first temperature range, and the second value is at least one of an average value, an upper limit value, or a lower limit value of the second temperature range.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present application, during a time period after a user in the first space leaves (i.e., a first time period and a second time period), if there is no user in the first space, the electronic device can control the temperature in the first space to be maintained within a certain temperature range (i.e., a first temperature range and a second temperature range), so that the air conditioner does not need to be shut down when the user leaves the first space, and the air conditioner does not need to be turned on when the user returns to the first space. This reduces the number of times the air conditioner is turned on and off, thereby reducing the power consumption caused by frequent startup or shutdown of the air conditioner.

[0008] In addition, since the prior art turns off the air conditioner once the user leaves the space where the air conditioner is located, and turns on the air conditioner when the user returns to the space where the air conditioner is located, it takes a certain amount of time to adjust the temperature in the space to a temperature comfortable for the user, resulting in a poor user experience; while in the embodiment of the present application, after the user leaves the first space and there is no user in the first space, the electronic device can control the temperature in the first space within a certain temperature range (i.e., the first temperature range and the second temperature range), so that the temperature in the first space will not rise or drop rapidly to the temperature outside the first space. In this way, when the user returns to the first space, the user will not feel the huge temperature difference in the first space, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0009] In one possible design, the method further includes: receiving a first instruction, the first instruction being used to instruct the air conditioner to control the temperature in the first space to be within a first temperature range during a time period when the user is away, and / or instructing the air conditioner to control the temperature in the first space to be within a second temperature range during a time period after the time period when the user is away. In this design, the electronic device can interact with other device information and can control the temperature in the first space according to the received instruction information.

[0010] In a possible design, controlling the temperature in the first space to be within the first temperature range includes: controlling the temperature in the first space to change with a first change amplitude, the first change amplitude includes a first rising amplitude and / or a first falling amplitude, wherein the first rising amplitude is determined according to the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first temperature range, and / or the first falling amplitude is determined according to the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first temperature range; correspondingly, controlling the temperature in the first space to be within the second temperature range includes: controlling the temperature in the first space to change with a second change amplitude, the second change amplitude includes a second rising amplitude and / or a second falling amplitude, wherein the second rising amplitude is determined according to the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second temperature range, and / or the second falling amplitude is determined according to the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second temperature range. In this design, when there is no user in the first space, the electronic device can regularly adjust the temperature in the first space, and then when the user returns to the first space, the electronic device can quickly adjust the temperature in the first space to a comfortable temperature for the user, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0011] In a possible design, the second increase is greater than the first increase; and / or the second decrease is greater than the first decrease. In this design, the second time period is a time period after the first time period. Considering that the probability of the user returning to the first space in the first time period is greater than the probability of the user returning to the first space in the second time period, the temperature change in the first time period is set to be less than the temperature change in the second time period (i.e., the second increase is greater than the first increase and / or the second decrease is greater than the first decrease), so that the change in temperature in the first space in the first time period is less than the change in temperature in the first space in the second time period, and thus the temperature difference between the temperature in the first space in the first time period and the temperature in the first space in the time period before the first time period (i.e., the time period when the user exists in the first space) is smaller than the temperature difference between the temperature in the first space in the second time period and the temperature in the first space in the time period before the first time period (i.e., the time period when the user exists in the first space). In this way, the temperature in the first space is adjusted in combination with the probability of the user returning to the first space, achieving a balance between user experience and air conditioning energy consumption. For example, when the probability of the user returning to the first space is high (i.e., within the first time period), the electronic device adjusts the temperature in the first space so that the temperature difference between the temperature in the first space and the temperature outside the first space is slightly reduced, which can reduce part of the energy consumption of the air conditioner; at the same time, the temperature difference between the temperature after adjustment in the first space and the temperature before adjustment in the first space is small, and then when the user returns to the first space, the electronic device can quickly adjust the temperature of the first space to a comfortable temperature for the user, so that the user will not feel a huge temperature difference change, thereby effectively improving the user experience. For another example, when the probability of the user returning to the first space is low (i.e., within the second time period), the electronic device adjusts the temperature in the first space so that the temperature difference between the temperature in the first space and the temperature outside the first space is greatly reduced, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0012] In a possible design, the first time period includes a first sub-time period and a second sub-time period; controlling the temperature in the first space to be within the first temperature range includes: if the temperature in the first space is lower than the temperature outside the first space, controlling the temperature in the first space to rise to the first temperature in the first sub-time period, and controlling the temperature in the first space to drop from the first temperature to the second temperature in the second sub-time period, wherein the first temperature and the second temperature are within the first temperature range; or, if the temperature in the first space is higher than the temperature outside the first space, controlling the temperature in the first space to drop to the third temperature in the first sub-time period, and controlling the temperature in the first space to rise from the third temperature to the fourth temperature in the second sub-time period, wherein the third temperature and the fourth temperature are within the first temperature range. In this design, the temperature control of the first space by the electronic device in the first time period is divided into a heating stage and a cooling stage, so that the temperature control process of the first space by the electronic device in the first time period is relatively simple.

[0013] Similarly, the second time period includes a third sub-time period and a fourth sub-time period; if the temperature in the first space is lower than the temperature outside the first space, the temperature in the first space is controlled to rise to a fifth temperature in the third sub-time period, and the temperature in the first space is controlled to drop from the fifth temperature to a sixth temperature in the fourth sub-time period, wherein the fifth temperature and the sixth temperature are within the second temperature range.

[0014] Alternatively, if the temperature inside the first space is greater than the temperature outside the first space, the temperature inside the first space is controlled to be lowered to a seventh temperature in a third sub-time period, and the temperature inside the first space is controlled to be raised from the seventh temperature to an eighth temperature in a fourth sub-time period, wherein the seventh temperature and the eighth temperature are within the second temperature range.

[0015] In this way, the temperature control of the electronic device in the first space during the second time period is divided into a heating stage and a cooling stage, which makes the control process of the electronic device relatively simple.

[0016] In one possible design, the method further includes: after the second time period, if the user is still not detected to enter the first space, turning off the air conditioner. In this design, after the second time period, if the user is still not detected to enter the first space, the probability of the user returning to the first space is small, and the electronic device can control the air conditioner to turn off, thereby further reducing the power consumption of the air conditioner.

[0017] In a possible design, the method further includes: within the second time period, if it is detected that the user enters the first space, adjusting the temperature in the first space to a fifth temperature, where the fifth temperature is a pre-set temperature. The fifth temperature can be understood as a temperature that makes the user comfortable. In this design, when the user returns to the first space again, the electronic device can promptly adjust the temperature in the first space to a temperature that the user is comfortable with, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0018] In a second aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a human body sensor and a controller; the human body sensor is used to detect whether there is a user in a first space; the controller is used to execute the method described in the above-mentioned first aspect and any optional design in the first aspect.

[0019] Optionally, the electronic device may further include a memory, wherein the memory is used to store computer program code, wherein the computer program code includes computer instructions; when the computer instructions are executed by the controller, the electronic device executes the method described in the above-mentioned first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect.

[0020] In a third aspect, the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores a computer program. When the computer program runs on a computer, the computer executes the method described in the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect.

[0021] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a computer program product, which includes a computer program or instructions. When the computer program or instructions are run on a computer, the computer executes the method described in the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect.

[0022] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a chip system, wherein the processor is coupled to the memory, and the memory is used to store programs or instructions. When the program or instructions are executed by the processor, the method described in the above-mentioned first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect is implemented.

[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Among them, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "plurality" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b or c can represent: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a, b and c, where a, b, c can be single or multiple.

[0039] The present application provides a temperature adjustment method, an electronic device and a chip for reducing the power consumption of an air conditioner. In an embodiment of the present application, in a time period after a user in a first space leaves, if there is no user in the first space, the electronic device can control the temperature in the first space to be maintained within a certain temperature range, so that the air conditioner does not need to be turned off when the user leaves the first space, and the air conditioner does not need to be turned on when the user returns to the first space, thereby reducing the number of times the air conditioner is turned on and off, thereby reducing the power consumption caused by frequent turning on or off of the air conditioner. In addition, since the air conditioner is turned off once the user leaves the space where the air conditioner is located in the prior art, and the air conditioner is turned on when the user returns to the space where the air conditioner is located, it takes a certain amount of time to adjust the temperature in the space to a comfortable temperature for the user, resulting in a poor user experience; while in an embodiment of the present application, after the user leaves the first space and there is no user in the first space, the electronic device can control the temperature in the first space within a certain temperature range, so that the temperature in the first space will not rise or fall quickly to the temperature outside the first space, so that when the user returns to the first space, the user will not feel the huge temperature difference in the first space, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0040] The technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application is applicable to temperature control scenarios in any space, for example, temperature control scenarios in houses and temperature control scenarios in vehicles. Accordingly, the first space may be, for example, a space in a house with air conditioning or a space in a vehicle with air conditioning.

[0041] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to an air conditioning equipment control system, which includes at least a human body sensor and an electronic device. Among them, the human body sensor is used to monitor the users in the first space and send the user information in the first space (such as the number of users, user identification, etc.) to the electronic device. The electronic device serves as a control device of the air conditioner (i.e., a controller in the air conditioner), and can control the air conditioner to adjust the temperature in the first space according to the user information in the first space. In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can be directly regarded as an air conditioner.

[0042] Figure 1A This is one of the schematic diagrams of the architecture of an air conditioning control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1A In the embodiment, the human body sensor is independent of the air conditioning setting. The air conditioning control system may include a human body sensor, an air conditioning and a temperature sensor, and the air conditioning includes a controller. The human body sensor and the air conditioning are both deployed in the first space. The human body sensor can detect whether there is a user in the first space, and send the user information in the first space to the controller in the air conditioning; the temperature sensor includes an indoor temperature sensor and an outdoor temperature sensor. The indoor temperature sensor is deployed in the first space. The indoor temperature sensor can detect the temperature in the first space and send the temperature in the first space to the controller in the air conditioning; the outdoor temperature sensor is deployed outside the first space. The outdoor temperature sensor can detect the temperature outside the first space and send the temperature outside the first space to the controller in the air conditioning; and then the controller in the air conditioning can adjust the temperature in the first space according to the user information in the first space, the temperature in the first space and the temperature outside the first space. Figure 1B As shown, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned human body sensor and temperature sensor can also be integrated into the air conditioner, for example, the human body sensor and indoor temperature sensor are deployed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and the outdoor temperature sensor is deployed in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0043] Figure 1C This is a third schematic diagram of the architecture of an air conditioning control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1CIn the embodiment, the human body sensor in the air conditioning control system is integrated into the electronic device, and the air conditioning control system may include the electronic device, the air conditioning and the temperature sensor, the electronic device includes the human body sensor and the controller 1, and the air conditioning includes the controller 2. The electronic device and the air conditioning are deployed in the first space, and the human body sensor in the electronic device can detect whether there is a user in the first space, and send the user information in the first space to the controller in the electronic device; the temperature sensor includes an indoor temperature sensor and an outdoor temperature sensor, the indoor temperature sensor is deployed in the first space, the indoor temperature sensor can detect the temperature in the first space, and send the temperature in the first space to the controller 1; the outdoor temperature sensor is deployed outside the first space, the outdoor temperature sensor can detect the temperature outside the first space, and send the temperature outside the first space to the controller 1; and then the controller 1 can generate a corresponding temperature control instruction according to the user information in the first space, the temperature in the first space and the temperature outside the first space, and send the control instruction to the controller 2, and then the controller 2 can adjust the temperature in the first space according to the control instruction. In some embodiments, the controller 1 and the controller 2 can be integrated in a multi-core chip, and the multi-core chip can be deployed in the electronic device or the multi-core chip can be deployed in the air conditioning.

[0044] The controller 1 or the controller 2 may be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capability. For example, the controller 1 or the controller 2 may be an FPGA, a general-purpose processor, a DSP, an ASIC or other programmable logic device, a discrete gate or transistor logic device, a discrete hardware component, a system on chip (SoC), a CPU, a network processor (NP), a microcontroller unit (MCU), a PLD or other integrated chip, etc. The general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or the processor may be any conventional processor, etc.

[0045] Among them, the human body sensor may include, for example, a contour sensor, a structured light sensor, a dynamic vision sensor, an infrared sensor (including a thermopile, etc.), a microwave sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a 3D sensor (such as a time-of-flight TOF sensor), a low-resolution and low-recognition camera, etc. At least one of the following. In an embodiment of the present application, the human body sensor may collect human shape data in the first space, and input the human shape data into a human shape recognition model, and the detection result output by the human shape recognition model is used to characterize whether there is a user in the first space. In this way, whether there is a user in the first space is identified based on the human shape recognition model, so that the detection of users in the first space is more accurate. In addition, the human body sensor will not obtain information such as the user's face, which can effectively protect the user's privacy.

[0046] based on Figure 1B The air-conditioning control system shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a temperature adjustment method, which can be applied to air-conditioning.

[0047] See also Figure 2 , the method comprising:

[0048] S201. The air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to be within a first temperature range within a first time period; wherein the starting time of the first time period is the first time, the first time is the time when the user in the first space leaves the first space, and there is no user in the first space within the first time period.

[0049] The first moment is the moment when the user in the first space leaves the first space, which can be understood as all users in the first space leaving the first space at the first moment.

[0050] S202: In a second time period after the first time period, if the air conditioner does not detect that a user enters the first space, the temperature in the first space is controlled to be within a second temperature range.

[0051] Among them, the difference between the first value in the first temperature range and the temperature outside the first space is greater than the difference between the second value in the second temperature range and the temperature outside the first space; wherein the first value is at least one of the average value, upper limit value, or lower limit value of the first temperature range, and the second value is at least one of the average value, upper limit value, or lower limit value of the second temperature range.

[0052] The first time period or the second time period may include N time periods, and different time periods may correspond to different temperature variation ranges.

[0053] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the temperature control scenario when the temperature in the first space is lower than the temperature outside the first space after the user leaves the first space, and can also be applied to the temperature control scenario when the temperature in the first space is higher than the temperature outside the first space after the user leaves the first space. The following introduces the different situations.

[0054] Case 1: The temperature inside the first space is lower than the temperature outside the first space.

[0055] In case 1, the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space within a first temperature range during the first time period, and controls the temperature in the first space within a second temperature range when no user is detected entering the first space during the second time period, including but not limited to the following implementations:

[0056] In implementation mode 1, the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to change with a first variation range in a first time period, and controls the temperature in the first space to change with a second variation range when no user is detected entering the first space in a second time period. In this way, when there is no user in the first space, the air conditioner can regularly adjust the temperature in the first space, and when the user returns to the first space, the air conditioner can quickly adjust the temperature in the first space to a comfortable temperature for the user, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0057] Wherein, the first variation range may include a first increase range and / or a first decrease range. The first increase range may be preset, or may be determined according to the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first temperature range; and / or, the first decrease range may be preset, or may be determined according to the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first temperature range. Similarly, the second variation range may include a second increase range and / or a second decrease range. The second increase range may be preset, or may be determined according to the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second temperature range; and / or, the second decrease range may be preset, or may be determined according to the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second temperature range. Wherein, any one of the first increase range, the first decrease range, the second increase range, or the second decrease range may correspond to one or more numerical values.

[0058] Since the second time period is the time period after the first time period, the probability of the user returning to the first space in the first time period is greater than the probability of the user returning to the first space in the second time period, the second increase amplitude is greater than the first increase amplitude, and / or the second decrease amplitude is greater than the first decrease amplitude, which can make the change of the temperature in the first space in the first time period smaller than the change of the temperature in the first space in the second time period, and thus make the temperature difference between the temperature in the first space in the first time period and the temperature in the first space in the time period before the first time period (i.e., the time period when the user exists in the first space) smaller than the temperature difference between the temperature in the first space in the second time period and the temperature in the first space in the time period before the first time period, so that when the user returns to the first space, the air conditioner can quickly adjust the temperature of the first space to a comfortable temperature for the user, so that the user will not feel a huge temperature difference, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0059] The following describes, in combination with Examples A1 to A3, a process of adjusting the temperature in the first space by the air conditioner when the temperature in the first space is lower than the temperature outside the first space.

[0060] Example A1, such as Figure 3AAs shown, there is a user in the first space during the time period t0-t1, and the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to remain near the temperature T1, that is, the temperature in the first space is T1, the temperature outside the first space is T4, the first temperature range is [T1, T2], and the second temperature range is [T2, T3]; the first time period is the time period t1-t2, and the moment t1 is the moment when all users in the first space leave the first space; the second time period is the time period t2-t3; the first change amplitude includes a first rising amplitude, and the second change amplitude includes a second rising amplitude, and the first rising amplitude and the second rising amplitude are both preset; accordingly, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to rise within the range of [T1, T2] with the first rising amplitude during the time period t1-t2; and, if the air conditioner does not detect the user entering the first space during the time period t1-t2, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to rise within the range of [T2, T3] with the second rising amplitude; the air conditioner still does not detect the user entering the first space after the second time period, and the air conditioner is turned off at this time, so that the temperature in the first space gradually rises to the temperature T4 outside the first space.

[0061] In example A1, after the user leaves the first space, there is no user in the first space, and the air conditioner only needs to control the temperature in the first space to gradually increase, so that the temperature adjustment process of the air conditioner in the first space is relatively simple.

[0062] Example A2, such as Figure 3BAs shown, there is a user in the first space during the time period t0-t1, and at this time the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to remain near the temperature T1, that is, at this time the temperature in the first space is T1, the temperature outside the first space is T4, the first temperature range is [T1, T2], and the second temperature range is [T2, T3]; the first time period is the time period t1-t2, and the moment t1 is the moment when all users in the first space leave the first space; the second time period is the time period t2-t3; the first change amplitude includes a first rising amplitude and a first falling amplitude, and the first rising amplitude and the first falling amplitude are the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first temperature range (i.e. T2-T1); the second change amplitude includes a second rising amplitude and a second falling amplitude, and the second rising amplitude includes a rising amplitude 1 (i.e. T6-T1) and a rising amplitude 2 (i.e. T3-T5), and the second falling amplitude is (T6-T5 ); accordingly, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to first increase with a first increase amplitude within the range of [T1, T2] during the time period t1-t2, and then control the temperature in the first space to decrease with a first decrease amplitude within the range of [T1, T2]; and, if the air conditioner does not detect the user entering the first space during the time period t1-t2, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to first increase with an increase amplitude 1 (i.e., T6-T1) within the range of [T2, T3], and then control the temperature in the first space to decrease with a second decrease amplitude (T6-T5) within the range of [T2, T3], and finally control the temperature in the first space to increase with an increase amplitude 2 (i.e., T3-T5) within the range of [T2, T3]; the air conditioner still does not detect the user entering the first space after the second time period, and at this time the air conditioner is turned off, so that the temperature in the first space gradually rises to the temperature T4 outside the first space.

[0063] In example A2, after the user leaves the first space, there is no user in the first space. The air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to first increase and then decrease, so that during most of the first time period and the second time period, the temperature difference between the temperature in the first space and the temperature outside the first space is small, thereby further reducing the power consumption of the air conditioner and effectively improving the energy-saving efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0064] Example A3, such as Figure 3CAs shown, there is a user in the first space during the time period t0-t1, and at this time, the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to remain near the temperature T1, that is, the temperature in the first space is T1, the temperature outside the first space is T4, the first temperature range is [T1, T2], and the second temperature range is [T2, T3]; the first time period is the time period t1-t2, and the moment t1 is the moment when all users in the first space leave the first space; the second time period is the time period t2-t3; the first change range includes a first rising range and a first falling range, and the first rising range and the first falling range are the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first temperature range (that is, T2-T1); the second change range includes a second rising range and a second falling range. The second decreasing amplitude, the second increasing amplitude and the second decreasing amplitude are the differences between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second temperature range (i.e., T3-T2); accordingly, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to change periodically within the range of [T1, T2] with the first increasing amplitude and the first decreasing amplitude during the time period t1-t2; and, if the air conditioner does not detect the user entering the first space during the time period t1-t2, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to change periodically within the range of [T2, T3] with the second increasing amplitude and the second decreasing amplitude; if the air conditioner still does not detect the user entering the first space after the second time period, the air conditioner is turned off, so that the temperature in the first space gradually rises to the temperature T4 outside the first space.

[0065] In example A3, after the user leaves the first space, there is no user in the first space. The air conditioner controls the periodic change of the temperature in the first space, so that when the user returns to the first space, the air conditioner can adjust the temperature in the first space in time.

[0066] In implementation mode 2, the first time period includes a first sub-time period and a second sub-time period, and the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to rise to the first temperature in the first sub-time period, and control the temperature in the first space to drop from the first temperature to the second temperature in the second sub-time period, wherein the first temperature and the second temperature are within the first temperature range. Similarly, the second time period includes a third sub-time period and a fourth sub-time period, and the temperature in the first space is controlled to rise to the fifth temperature in the third sub-time period, and the temperature in the first space is controlled to drop from the fifth temperature to the sixth temperature in the fourth sub-time period, wherein the fifth temperature and the sixth temperature are within the second temperature range. In this way, the temperature control of the first space by the air conditioner in the first time period is divided into a heating stage and a cooling stage, so that the temperature control process of the first space by the air conditioner in the first time period is relatively simple.

[0067] For example, Figure 3DAs shown, there are users in the first space during the time period t0-t1, and the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to remain near temperature T1, that is, the temperature in the first space is T1, the temperature outside the first space is T4, the first temperature range is [T1, T2], and the second temperature range is [T2, T3]; the first time period is the time period t1-t2, the moment t1 is the moment when all users in the first space leave the first space, and the time period t1-t2 includes time period A and time period B; the second time period includes the time period t2-t3, and the time period t2-t3 includes time period C and time period D; accordingly, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to rise from T1 to T2 during time period A, and then control the temperature in the first space to drop from T1 to a value in the range of [T1, T2] during time period B; and the air conditioner in time period If no user is detected entering the first space within time period C, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to rise to T5, and then if the air conditioner does not detect the user entering the first space within time period D, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to drop from T5 to T6; wherein, the t2-t3 time period also includes the time period E, and the time period E can include N time periods (where N is a positive integer greater than 1), and each of the N time periods can include a heating time period stage and a cooling time period, and the difference between the average temperature in the first space and the temperature outside the first space gradually decreases during the N time periods; at the end of the N time periods, the temperature in the first space rises to T3, and after the end of the N time periods, the air conditioner still does not detect the user entering the first space, and at this time the air conditioner can be turned off, so that the temperature in the first space gradually rises to the temperature T4 outside the first space.

[0068] When the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to rise, the refrigeration device in the air conditioner can be turned off to allow the first space to dissipate heat naturally to achieve a temperature rise in the first space. Also, the air conditioner can adjust at least one of the speed and / or frequency of the fan in the air conditioner, the opening and / or frequency of the expansion valve, or the frequency of the compressor to achieve a temperature drop in the first space.

[0069] exist Figure 3A-3D In the example described, after the second time period, if the air conditioner still does not detect that the user has entered the first space, the possibility of the user returning to the first space is small. At this time, directly turning off the air conditioner can further reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner, thereby improving the energy-saving efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, during the second time period, if it is detected that the user enters the first space, the air conditioner can adjust the temperature in the first space to the target temperature, which is a preset temperature. In this way, when the user returns to the first space again, the electronic device can promptly adjust the temperature in the first space to a comfortable temperature for the user, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0071] For example Figure 3E As shown, there is a user in the first space during the time period t0-t1, and the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to be maintained near the temperature T1, that is, the temperature in the first space is T1, and the temperature outside the first space is T4; during the process of the air conditioner regulating the temperature in the first space during the time period t1-t3, if the user is detected to enter the first space at time t4, the temperature in the first space can be adjusted to T1. Wherein, time t4 is the time before time t3.

[0072] Another example Figure 3F As shown, there is a user in the first space during the time period t0-t1, and the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to be maintained near the temperature T1, that is, the temperature in the first space is T1, and the temperature outside the first space is T4. During the process of the air conditioner regulating the temperature in the first space during the time period t1-t3, if the user is detected to enter the first space at time t4, the temperature in the first space can be adjusted to T1. Wherein, time t4 is the time before time t3.

[0073] Case 2: The temperature inside the first space is greater than the temperature outside the first space.

[0074] In case 2, when the temperature in the first space is greater than the temperature outside the first space, the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to be within the first temperature range in the first time period, and controls the temperature in the first space to be within the second temperature range when no user is detected entering the first space in the second time period. The specific implementation is similar to that in case 1. For example, when the temperature in the first space is greater than the temperature outside the first space, the second time period includes a third sub-time period and a fourth sub-time period, the temperature in the first space is controlled to be reduced to the seventh temperature in the third sub-time period, and the temperature in the first space is controlled to be increased from the seventh temperature to the eighth temperature in the fourth sub-time period, wherein the seventh temperature and the eighth temperature are within the second temperature range.

[0075] The following describes, in combination with Example B1 to Example B3, a process of adjusting the temperature in the first space by the air conditioner when the temperature in the first space is lower than the temperature outside the first space.

[0076] Example B1, such as Figure 4AAs shown, there is a user in the first space during the time period t0-t1, and the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to remain near T1, that is, the temperature in the first space is T1, the temperature outside the first space is T4, the first temperature range is [T2, T1], and the second temperature range is [T3, T2]; the first time period is the time period t1-t2, and the moment t1 is the moment when all users in the first space leave the first space; the second time period is the time period t2-t3; the first change amplitude includes a first decrease amplitude, and the second change amplitude includes a second decrease amplitude, and the first decrease amplitude and the second decrease amplitude are both preset; accordingly, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to decrease within the range of [T2, T1] with a first decrease amplitude during the time period t1-t2; and, if the air conditioner does not detect the user entering the first space during the time period t1-t2, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to decrease within the range of [T3, T2] with a second decrease amplitude; if the air conditioner still does not detect the user entering the first space after the time period t2-t3, the air conditioner is turned off, so that the temperature in the first space gradually decreases to the temperature T4 outside the first space.

[0077] Example B2, such as Figure 4B As shown, there are users in the first space during the time period t0-t1, and at this time, the air conditioner controls the temperature in the first space to remain near the temperature T1, that is, the temperature in the first space is T1, the temperature outside the first space is T4, the first temperature range is [T2, T1], and the second temperature range is [T3, T2]; the first time period is the time period t1-t2, and the moment t1 is the moment when all users in the first space leave the first space; the second time period is the time period t2-t3; the first change amplitude includes a first rising amplitude and a first falling amplitude, and the first rising amplitude and the first falling amplitude are the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first temperature range (that is, T1-T2); the second change amplitude includes a second rising amplitude and a first falling amplitude. two decreasing amplitudes, the second increasing amplitude and the second decreasing amplitude are the difference between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second temperature range (i.e., T1-T3); accordingly, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to change periodically within the range of [T1, T2] with the first increasing amplitude and the first decreasing amplitude during the time period t1-t2; and, if the air conditioner does not detect the user entering the first space during the time period t1-t2, the air conditioner can control the temperature in the first space to change periodically within the range of [T2, T3] with the second increasing amplitude and the second decreasing amplitude; if the air conditioner still does not detect the user entering the first space after the time period t2-t3, the air conditioner is turned off, so that the temperature in the first space gradually drops to the temperature T4 outside the first space.

[0078] In example B2, after the user leaves the first space, there is no user in the first space. The air conditioner controls the periodic change of the temperature in the first space, so that when the user returns to the first space, the air conditioner can adjust the temperature in the first space in time.

[0079] In example B1-B2, after the second time period, if the air conditioner still does not detect that the user has entered the first space, the possibility of the user returning to the first space is small. At this time, turning off the air conditioner directly can further reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner, thereby improving the energy-saving efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0080] And in example B1-B2, during or after the second time period, if it is detected that the user enters the first space (i.e., the user returns to the first space), the air conditioner can adjust the temperature in the first space to a pre-set temperature (i.e., the user's comfortable temperature T1) (not shown in the figure), which can effectively improve the user experience.

[0081] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before the air conditioner adjusts the temperature in the first space, the air conditioner may also receive a first instruction, the first instruction being used to instruct the air conditioner to control the temperature in the first space to be within a first temperature range during the time period when the user is away, and / or being used to instruct the air conditioner to control the temperature in the first space to be within a second temperature range during the time period after the user is away. In this way, the temperature adjustment process is independent of the original control PLD system of the air conditioner, and thus the temperature adjustment process does not interfere with the original PLD system of the temperature.
