[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent air conditioning technology, such as methods, devices, air conditioners, and storage media for air conditioning control. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are now essential appliances for homes and offices, especially during the summer and winter seasons when they are used for extended periods. The temperature detection device is the core component of an air conditioner, sensing room temperature signals, and its operational status directly affects the overall performance of the air conditioner.

[0003] Currently, temperature detection device malfunctions generally fall into two categories: one is unclear or inaccurate detection signals; the other is damage, wear and tear, or detachment of the temperature detection device itself. For air conditioner indoor units, inaccurate temperature detection will cause the overall control strategy of the air conditioner to fail, preventing optimal control from being achieved.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0006] This disclosure provides a method, apparatus, air conditioner, and storage medium for air conditioning control, addressing the technical problem that the stability of air conditioning temperature detection still needs to be improved.

[0007] In some embodiments, the method includes:

[0008] The first voltage value corresponding to the current indoor temperature in the area where the air conditioner operates is obtained through a temperature detection device.

[0009] If the first voltage value is outside the set range for a first set time, and the air conditioner is in operation, the current air conditioner operating environment parameters are obtained, and a second voltage value matching the current air conditioner operating environment parameters is determined based on the correspondence between the saved air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values.

[0010] A second temperature value that matches the second voltage value is determined, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled according to the second temperature value.

[0011] In some embodiments, the device includes:

[0012] The first acquisition module is configured to acquire a first voltage value corresponding to the current indoor temperature in the air-conditioned area through a temperature detection device;

[0013] The second acquisition module is configured to, when the first voltage value is outside the set range for a first duration of a first set time, if the air conditioner is in operation, acquire the current air conditioner operating environment parameters, and determine a second voltage value that matches the current air conditioner operating environment parameters based on the stored correspondence between the air conditioner operating environment parameters and the voltage value.

[0014] The first control module is configured to determine a second temperature value that matches the second voltage value, and control the operation of the air conditioner according to the second temperature value.

[0015] In some embodiments, the apparatus for air conditioning control includes a processor and a memory storing program instructions, the processor being configured to execute the above-described method for air conditioning control when the program instructions are executed.

[0016] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes an air conditioner body; the aforementioned device for air conditioner control is installed on the air conditioner body.

[0017] In some embodiments, the storage medium stores program instructions that, when executed, perform the above-described method for air conditioning control.

[0018] The method, apparatus, and air conditioner for air conditioning control provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0019] When the first voltage value obtained by the temperature detection device is not within the set range, a second voltage value matching the current air conditioning operating environment parameters can be determined based on the correspondence between the air conditioning operating environment parameters and the voltage value obtained and saved by machine learning. Then, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled according to the second temperature value matching the second voltage value. In this way, the control of the air conditioner no longer depends solely on the temperature value obtained by the temperature detection device, which improves the fault tolerance and accuracy of the air conditioning temperature detection, ensures the normal operation of the air conditioner, and further improves the precision of the air conditioning control.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this disclosure described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0031] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0032] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the objects before and after it are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0033] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0034] In this embodiment, after obtaining a first voltage value corresponding to the current indoor temperature in the air-conditioning area through a temperature detection device, if the first voltage value meets the corresponding set conditions, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled according to the first temperature value corresponding to the first voltage value; if the first voltage value does not meet the corresponding set conditions, a second voltage value matching the current air conditioner operating environment parameters needs to be determined according to the correspondence between the stored air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled according to the second temperature value matching the second voltage value. In this way, the control of the air conditioner no longer depends solely on the temperature value obtained by the temperature detection device, which improves the fault tolerance and accuracy of the air conditioner temperature detection, ensures the normal operation of the air conditioner, and further improves the precision of the air conditioner control.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning control process includes:

[0036] Step 101: Obtain the first voltage value corresponding to the current indoor temperature in the air-conditioned area using a temperature detection device.

[0037] Air conditioners are equipped with temperature detection devices, such as temperature sensors, which can obtain the indoor temperature value within the area where the air conditioner operates. Currently, the temperature detection device detects the temperature, converts the analog signal to a digital signal (AD conversion), and finally outputs a voltage value. The air conditioner obtains the voltage value corresponding to the detected temperature through the temperature detection device.

[0038] The air conditioner can acquire voltage values ​​corresponding to temperature at regular intervals or in real time. At any given moment, it can acquire the first voltage value corresponding to the current indoor temperature in the area where the air conditioner operates.

[0039] Step 102: If the first voltage value is outside the set range for a first set duration, and the air conditioner is in operation, obtain the current air conditioner operating environment parameters, and determine the second voltage value that matches the current air conditioner operating environment parameters based on the saved correspondence between the air conditioner operating environment parameters and the voltage value.

[0040] Generally, the temperature detection devices in air conditioners have corresponding voltage threshold ranges. A set range can be configured based on the performance of the temperature detection device, its geographical location, the season of use, etc. If the first voltage value obtained is within the set range, it indicates that the temperature detection device is operating normally, and the air conditioner can operate normally. However, if the first voltage value obtained is outside the set range, it indicates that there is a risk of malfunction in the temperature detection device.

[0041] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the first voltage value is not within the set range for a first duration that reaches a first set time, that is, if the first voltage value is not within the set range within the first set time, it can be determined that the temperature detection device has malfunctioned. At this time, if the air conditioner is in operation, it cannot be controlled to operate based on the first temperature value corresponding to the first voltage value. Instead, it is necessary to determine the second voltage value that matches the current air conditioner operating environment parameters based on the correspondence between the stored air conditioner operating environment parameters and the voltage value.

[0042] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the correspondence between air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values ​​can be acquired and stored. There are various ways to acquire this correspondence, such as obtaining the correspondence between air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values ​​matched to the air conditioner via a cloud server. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the correspondence between air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values ​​can be generated and obtained through machine learning. This may include: acquiring sample values ​​of air conditioner operating environment parameters and corresponding sample voltage values, performing machine learning, and obtaining and storing a first correspondence between the air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values. The air conditioner operating environment parameters include: the location of the air conditioner and the season in which it is used.

[0043] In some embodiments, the air conditioning operating environment parameters include: the location of the air conditioner, the season of application, the on / off operating status, and the outdoor temperature. Therefore, the voltage value in the first correspondence can be corrected according to the on / off operating status of the air conditioner and the outdoor temperature of the air conditioner to obtain and save the second correspondence between the air conditioning operating environment parameters and the voltage value.

[0044] The on / off operating status includes the duration of each air conditioner's on-time and off-time. Thus, in some embodiments, the correspondence between the stored air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values ​​can be shown in Table 1.

[0045] In this way, when the first voltage value is not within the set range and the air conditioner is in operation, the current air conditioner operating environment parameters are obtained. If the current air conditioner operating environment parameters include: Northeast region, spring, operating time of 0.5h, and outdoor temperature of 17℃, then the corresponding first voltage value can be determined as b according to Table 1.

[0046] Given that the air conditioner's operating environment parameters include: the location of the air conditioner, the season of application, the on / off status, and the outdoor temperature, the current air conditioner operating environment parameters are obtained by: obtaining the location information and corresponding initial time saved during the air conditioner's initialization; obtaining the current time; and determining the current season of application and the current on / off status of the air conditioner based on the initial time, the current time, and the saved on / off information.

[0047] After the air conditioner is installed and initialized, it can connect to the smart home via the configured short-range wireless communication WIFI. This allows the system to obtain and save the air conditioner's location information and corresponding initial time. In this way, the system can retrieve the location information and corresponding initial time saved during the air conditioner's initialization. Furthermore, the air conditioner records its on / off information. Based on the initial time, current time, and saved on / off information, the system can determine the current season and the current on / off operating status of the air conditioner.

[0048]

[0049] Table 1

[0050] Of course, this disclosure is not limited to this. The air conditioner operating environment parameters include one or more of the following: the location of the air conditioner, the season of application, the on / off operating status, and the outdoor temperature. Naturally, the more types of parameters included in the air conditioner operating environment parameters, that is, the more constraints there are, the closer the voltage values ​​in the saved correspondence will be to the actual application scenario, and the more accurate they will be.

[0051] Step 103: Determine the second temperature value that matches the second voltage value, and control the operation of the air conditioner according to the second temperature value.

[0052] The air conditioner can determine the matching temperature value based on the obtained voltage value, and then control the operation of the air conditioner based on the temperature value. That is, it can determine the second temperature value that matches the second voltage value, and control the operation of the air conditioner based on the second temperature value.

[0053] As can be seen, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, after the air conditioner is equipped with a temperature detection module, when the first voltage value obtained by the temperature detection device is not within the set range, a second voltage value matching the current air conditioner operating environment parameters can be determined based on the stored correspondence between the air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values. Then, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the second temperature value matching the second voltage value. In this way, the control of the air conditioner no longer relies solely on the temperature value obtained by the temperature detection device, improving the fault tolerance and accuracy of the air conditioner temperature detection, ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner, and further improving the precision of air conditioner control. The stored correspondence can be obtained through machine learning, which not only improves the accuracy of temperature detection but also enhances the intelligence of the air conditioner.

[0054] Of course, when the second duration of the first voltage value within the set range reaches the second set time, a first temperature value matching the first voltage value is determined, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled according to the first temperature value. That is, when the first voltage value is within the set range, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled according to relevant technologies. In some embodiments, in addition to this, the current air conditioner operating environment parameters can also be obtained, and the saved correspondence can be updated according to the first voltage value and the current air conditioner operating environment parameters. For example, the current air conditioner operating environment parameters and the first voltage value can be used as new air conditioner operating environment parameter sample values ​​and corresponding voltage sample values, and machine learning can be continued to obtain a new correspondence, which replaces the original correspondence and is saved, that is, the saved correspondence is updated. In this way, the accuracy of temperature detection is further improved, and the precision of air conditioner control is also further improved.

[0055] The second set time can be equal to or different from the first set time, and can be 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes, etc.

[0056] When the air conditioner is running, it can be controlled based on a first temperature value matched with a first voltage value, or based on a second temperature value matched with a second voltage value. After controlling the air conditioner based on the second temperature value matched with the second voltage value, the air conditioner is in an idle state. If the temperature detection device still shows abnormalities, a fault warning needs to be issued. In some embodiments, after controlling the air conditioner based on the second temperature value, the method further includes: when the air conditioner is in an idle state, obtaining a third voltage value corresponding to the indoor temperature in the air-conditioned area through the temperature detection device; and if the third voltage value is outside the set range for a third duration that reaches a third set time, a fault reporting process is performed. Similarly, the third set time can be equal to or different from the first set time, and can be 30s, 1min, 2min, or 3min, etc.

[0057] Fault reporting and handling can include fault warnings through various means such as voice announcements, text and image displays, and flashing lights. It can also include reporting fault information to a cloud server or sending fault information to the user's terminal. This allows users or maintenance personnel to handle faults promptly, further ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner and improving its utilization rate.

[0058] The following describes the operation process in a specific embodiment, illustrating the air conditioning control process provided by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0059] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 2As shown, the air conditioner 100 is located in the smart home and can communicate with the cloud server 200. The cloud server 200 can also communicate with the user terminal 300. In addition, the indoor unit of the air conditioner 100 is equipped with a temperature sensor and saves the corresponding relationship shown in Table 1. The first setting time and the third setting time can both be 1 minute, and the second setting time can be 30 seconds.

[0060] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioning control process includes:

[0061] Step 301: The air conditioner acquires the first voltage value collected by the temperature sensor.

[0062] Step 302: Determine if the first duration during which the first voltage value is outside the set range has reached 1 minute. If yes, proceed to step 303; otherwise, proceed to step 312.

[0063] Step 303: Determine if the air conditioner is running. If yes, proceed to step 304; otherwise, return to step 301.

[0064] Step 304: The air conditioner obtains the location information and corresponding initial time saved during air conditioner initialization; and determines the current application season and current on / off status of the air conditioner based on the initial time, current time, and saved power on / off information.

[0065] Step 305: The air conditioner obtains the current outdoor temperature value.

[0066] The order of steps 304 and 305 is not limited, and they can be run in parallel.

[0067] Step 306: The air conditioner determines the second voltage value that matches the current air conditioner operating environment parameters according to Table 1.

[0068] The current air conditioner operating environment parameters include: current location, current season, current on / off status, and current outdoor temperature.

[0069] Step 307: The air conditioner controls its operation based on a second temperature value that matches the second voltage value.

[0070] Step 308: Determine if the air conditioner is idle. If yes, proceed to step 309; otherwise, return to step 301.

[0071] Step 309: The air conditioner acquires the third voltage value collected by the temperature sensor.

[0072] Step 310: Determine if the duration of the third voltage value being outside the set range reaches 1 minute. If yes, proceed to step 311; otherwise, return to step 309.

[0073] Step 311: The air conditioner sends temperature sensor fault information to the cloud server, which then pushes the temperature sensor fault information to the user terminal.

[0074] Step 312: Determine whether the second duration of the first voltage value within the set range reaches 30 seconds. If yes, proceed to step 313; otherwise, return to step 301.

[0075] Step 313: The air conditioner controls its operation based on the first temperature value that matches the first voltage value.

[0076] Step 314: The air conditioner obtains the current air conditioner operating environment parameters and updates the correspondence shown in Table 1 based on the first voltage value and the current air conditioner operating environment parameters.

[0077] As can be seen, in this embodiment, if the first voltage value obtained by the temperature sensor meets the corresponding set conditions, the air conditioner can be controlled according to the first temperature value corresponding to the first voltage value. If the first voltage value does not meet the corresponding set conditions, a second voltage value matching the current air conditioner operating environment parameters needs to be determined based on the stored correspondence between the air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values. The air conditioner is then controlled according to the second temperature value matching the second voltage value. In this way, the control of the air conditioner no longer relies solely on the temperature value obtained by the temperature detection device, improving the fault tolerance and accuracy of the air conditioner temperature detection, ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner, and further improving the precision of air conditioner control. In addition, the stored correspondence can be updated, further improving the precision of air conditioner control.

[0078] Based on the above process for air conditioning control, a device for air conditioning control can be constructed.

[0079] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a structure for an air conditioning control device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The air conditioner is equipped with a water-washing fresh air module, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioning control device 400 includes: a first acquisition module 410, a second acquisition module 420, and a first control module 430.

[0080] The first acquisition module 410 is configured to acquire a first voltage value corresponding to the current indoor temperature in the air-conditioned area through a temperature detection device.

[0081] The second acquisition module 420 is configured to, when the first voltage value is outside the set range for a first duration of a first set time, if the air conditioner is in operation, acquire the current air conditioner operating environment parameters, and determine a second voltage value that matches the current air conditioner operating environment parameters based on the stored correspondence between the air conditioner operating environment parameters and the voltage value.

[0082] The first control module 430 is configured to determine a second temperature value that matches the second voltage value, and control the operation of the air conditioner according to the second temperature value.

[0083] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0084] The learning and saving unit is configured to acquire sample values ​​of air conditioning operating environment parameters and corresponding voltage sample values, perform machine learning, obtain and save the first correspondence between air conditioning operating environment parameters and voltage values, wherein the air conditioning operating environment parameters include: the location of the air conditioner and the season of application.

[0085] In some embodiments, the learning and saving module is further configured to correct the voltage value in the first correspondence based on the air conditioner's on / off operating status and the outdoor temperature of the air conditioner, and obtain and save the second correspondence between the air conditioner's operating environment parameters and the voltage value, wherein the air conditioner's operating environment parameters include: the location of the air conditioner, the season of application, the on / off operating status, and the outdoor temperature.

[0086] In some embodiments, the second acquisition module is specifically configured to acquire the location information and corresponding initial time saved during air conditioner initialization; and determine the current application season and current on / off operating status of the air conditioner based on the initial time, current time, and saved power-on / off information.

[0087] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0088] The second control module is configured to determine a first temperature value that matches the first voltage value when the second duration of the first voltage value within a set range reaches a second set time, and control the operation of the air conditioner according to the first temperature value.

[0089] The update module is configured to obtain the current air conditioning operating environment parameters and update the saved correspondence based on the first voltage value and the current air conditioning operating environment parameters.

[0090] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0091] The fault handling module is configured to obtain a third voltage value corresponding to the indoor temperature in the area where the air conditioner operates through a temperature detection device when the air conditioner is idle; and to report a fault if the third voltage value is outside the set range for a third set duration.

[0092] The air conditioning control process for the air conditioning control device is further described below with reference to embodiments.

[0093] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 is located in a smart home and can communicate with the cloud server 200. The cloud server 200 can also communicate with the user terminal 300. Furthermore, the indoor unit of the air conditioner 100 is equipped with a temperature sensor. The first and third set times can both be 1 minute, and the second set time can be 30 seconds.

[0094] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a structure for an air conditioning control device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioning control device 400 includes: a first acquisition module 410, a second acquisition module 420, a first control module 430, a learning and saving module 440, a second control module 450, an update module 460, and a fault handling module 470.

[0095] In this embodiment, the learning and saving module 440 acquires sample values ​​of air conditioner operating environment parameters and corresponding voltage sample values, performs machine learning, obtains and saves the first correspondence between air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values, and then corrects the voltage values ​​in the first correspondence based on the air conditioner's on / off operating status and the outdoor temperature of the air conditioner, thereby obtaining and saving the second correspondence between air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values ​​as shown in Table 1.

[0096] Thus, after the first acquisition module 410 acquires the first voltage value collected by the temperature sensor periodically or in real time, if the first voltage value is outside the set range for a duration of 1 minute and the air conditioner is running, the second acquisition module 420 can acquire the location information and corresponding initial time saved during the air conditioner's initialization; and determine the current application season and current on / off status of the air conditioner based on the initial time, current time, and saved power-on / off information. The second acquisition module 420 can also acquire the current outdoor temperature value and determine a second voltage value matching the current air conditioner operating environment parameters according to Table 1. Therefore, the first control module 430 can control the operation of the air conditioner based on the second temperature value matching the second voltage value.

[0097] After the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the second temperature value, the air conditioner is in an idle state. The fault handling module 470 obtains the third voltage value collected by the temperature sensor, and when the third voltage value is not within the set range for a third duration of 1 minute, it sends the temperature sensor fault information to the cloud server, so that the cloud server pushes the temperature sensor fault information to the user terminal.

[0098] Of course, when the first voltage value acquired by the first acquisition module 410 remains within a set range for a second duration of 30 seconds, the second control module 450 controls the operation of the air conditioner based on a first temperature value that matches the first voltage value. Furthermore, the update module 460 can acquire the current air conditioner operating environment parameters and update the correspondence shown in Table 1 based on the first voltage value and the current air conditioner operating environment parameters.

[0099] As can be seen, in this embodiment, after a temperature sensor is configured in the air conditioner, the device for controlling the air conditioner obtains a first voltage value through the temperature sensor. If the first voltage value meets the corresponding set conditions, the device can control the operation of the air conditioner based on the first temperature value corresponding to the first voltage value. If the first voltage value does not meet the corresponding set conditions, a second voltage value matching the current air conditioner operating environment parameters needs to be determined based on the stored correspondence between the air conditioner operating environment parameters and voltage values. The air conditioner is then controlled based on the second temperature value matching the second voltage value. In this way, the control of the air conditioner no longer relies solely on the temperature value obtained by the temperature detection device, improving the fault tolerance and accuracy of the air conditioner temperature detection, ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner, and further improving the precision of the air conditioner control. In addition, the stored correspondence can be updated, further improving the precision of the air conditioner control.

For example, a first element may be called a second element without changing the meaning of the description, and similarly, a second element may be called a first element, provided that all occurrences of “first element” are consistently renamed and all occurrences of “second element” are consistently renamed. First and second elements are both elements, but may not be the same element. Moreover, the terminology used in this application is only for describing embodiments and is not intended to limit the claims. As used in the description of the embodiments and claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to also include the plural forms. Similarly, the term “and / or” as used herein means including one or more of the associated listed elements and all possible combinations thereof. Additionally, when used herein, the terms “comprise” and its variations “comprises” and / or “comprising” refer to the presence of stated features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase “comprising an…” does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, or apparatus that includes said element. In this document, each embodiment may focus on the differences from other embodiments, and similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to mutually. For methods, products, etc., disclosed in the embodiments, if they correspond to the method section disclosed in the embodiments, the relevant parts can be referred to the description of the method section.

[0113] The methods and products (including but not limited to devices and equipment) disclosed in the embodiments herein can be implemented in other ways. For example, the device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. For instance, the division of units may be merely a logical functional division, and in actual implementation, there may be other division methods. For example, multiple units or components may be combined or integrated into another system, or some features may be ignored or not executed. In addition, the coupling or direct coupling or communication connection between the shown or discussed units may be through some interfaces, and the indirect coupling or communication connection between devices or units may be electrical, mechanical, or other forms. The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separate. The components shown as units may or may not be physical units, that is, they may be located in one place or distributed across multiple network units. Some or all of the units may be selected to implement this embodiment according to actual needs. Furthermore, the functional units in the embodiments of this disclosure may be integrated into one processing unit, or each unit may exist physically separately, or two or more units may be integrated into one unit.

[0114] The flowcharts and block diagrams in the accompanying drawings illustrate the architecture, functionality, and operation of possible implementations of systems, methods, and computer program products according to embodiments of this disclosure. In this regard, each block in a flowchart or block diagram may represent a module, segment, or portion of code containing one or more executable instructions for implementing a specified logical function. In some alternative implementations, the functions marked in the blocks may occur in a different order than that shown in the drawings. For example, two consecutive blocks may actually be executed substantially in parallel, and they may sometimes be executed in reverse order, depending on the functions involved. In the descriptions corresponding to the flowcharts and block diagrams in the accompanying drawings, the operations or steps corresponding to different blocks may also occur in a different order than disclosed in the description, and sometimes there is no specific order between different operations or steps. For example, two consecutive operations or steps may actually be executed substantially in parallel, and they may sometimes be executed in reverse order, depending on the functions involved. Each block in a block diagram and / or flowchart, and combinations of blocks in a block diagram and / or flowchart, can be implemented using a dedicated hardware-based system that performs the specified function or action, or using a combination of dedicated hardware and computer instructions.
