[0045] An embodiment of this specification provides a method, apparatus, electrical equipment, and medium for determining a radar installation method. The method includes: controlling the radar to alternately transmit a first waveform and a second waveform; during the process of the radar alternately transmitting the first waveform and the second waveform, determining the first detection times of targets within the radar detection area based on the first waveform in the current period, and the second detection times of targets within the radar detection area based on the second waveform; and determining the target installation method of the radar based on the first detection times and the second detection times.

[0046] In the solution of the embodiment of this specification, since the detection range of the radar varies under different installation methods, and for the first waveform and the second waveform, due to the characteristics of different waveforms, there are also differences in the ranging capabilities of the first waveform and the second waveform under different detection ranges of the radar. That is, there are differences in the detection times of the first waveform and the second waveform for targets in the top-mounted method and the side-mounted method. Therefore, in the solution of the embodiment of this specification, the installation method of the radar can be accurately determined through the detection times of the first waveform and the second waveform for targets, without the need for manual calibration of the radar installation method, improving the intelligence of radar calibration and enhancing the user experience.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such used data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present invention described here can be implemented in an order different from those illustrated or described here. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily need to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these process, method, product, or device.

[0049] As Figure 1 shown, it is a flowchart of a method for determining a radar installation method provided by an embodiment of this specification. The method includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S101: Control the radar to alternately transmit the first waveform and the second waveform;

[0051] Step S102: During the process of the radar alternately transmitting the first waveform and the second waveform, determine the first detection times of the targets within the radar detection area based on the first waveform and the second detection times of the targets within the radar detection area based on the second waveform in the current period;

[0052] Step S103: Determine the target installation method of the radar based on the first detection times and the second detection times.

[0053] The method provided by the embodiments of this specification can be applied to devices equipped with radars. Such devices can be independent radar devices or electrical devices integrated with radar sensors, such as air conditioners and fresh air devices integrated with electrical devices. It should be noted that whether it is an independent radar device or an electrical device integrated with a radar sensor, the installation method of the radar can be adjusted. The method provided by the embodiments of this specification can also be applied to a server that can communicate with a device equipped with a radar. Of course, it can also be applied to a system composed of a device and a server, which is not limited here. For the sake of easy understanding, the method for determining the radar installation method provided by the embodiments of this specification will be described in detail below taking an independent radar device as an example.

[0054] It should be noted that the installation methods of the radar can include side installation and top installation. Among them, top installation can be to install the radar on the ceiling of the room, and side installation can be to install the radar on the side wall of the room. There are differences in the detection ranges between the side installation and the top installation of the radar. Please refer to Figure 2 which is a schematic diagram of the projection of the radar detection range on the ground when the radar is side-mounted. In Figure 2 , the projection of the side-mounted radar on the ground is the origin position in Figure 2 . It can be seen that the detection range of the side installation is on one side of the radar. Please refer to Figure 3 which is a schematic diagram of the projection of the radar detection range on the ground when the radar is top-mounted. In Figure 3 , the projection of the top-mounted radar on the ground is the origin position in Figure 3 . The detection range of the top installation surrounds the radar, and it can be considered that the field of view angle of the top-mounted radar can cover 360°. Figure 2 、 3 The units of the abscissa and ordinate in

[0055] are both m. In the embodiments of this specification, the installation method of the radar can be changed. For example, during use, the user can move the position of the radar by himself. For example, change from top installation to side installation.In step S101, the radar can transmit waveforms of multiple modes, including but not limited to FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) waveforms and Doppler waveforms. Of course, it can also include other waveforms, which are not limited here. For the convenience of description, taking the first waveform as an FMCW waveform and the second waveform as a Doppler waveform as an example, that is, the radar can alternately transmit an FMCW waveform and a Doppler waveform.

[0056] In step S102, the current period can be set according to actual needs. For example, one period can correspond to one waveform alternation. For example, the time duration of one period can be divided into a first duration and a second duration. The first duration and the second duration can be the same or different. The first waveform is transmitted within the first duration, and the second waveform is transmitted within the second duration. Or, the transmission period of the first waveform is the first transmission period, and the transmission period of the second waveform is the second transmission period. The first transmission period and the second transmission period can be the same or different. One period can include a first transmission period and a second transmission period, that is, within one period, the first waveform of one first transmission period and the second waveform of one second transmission period can be alternately transmitted. Of course, the current period can include multiple waveform alternations, which are not limited here.

[0057] When transmitting the first waveform, every time a target located in the radar detection area is detected by the first waveform, the number of target detections is recorded once, and the total number of targets detected during the transmission of the first waveform is used as the first detection number. Similarly, when transmitting the second waveform, every time a target located in the radar detection area is detected by the second waveform, the number of target detections is recorded once, and the total number of targets detected during the transmission of the second waveform is used as the second detection number. Among them, the target is any target located within the radar detection area.

[0058] In the embodiments of this specification, in order to ensure that the first waveform and the second waveform detect the targets in the same detection area, before alternately transmitting the first waveform and the second waveform, the following steps can also be included: adjusting the transmission parameters of the first waveform, and adjusting the transmission parameters of the second waveform, so that the maximum detection distances of the first waveform and the second waveform are both the target distance.

[0059] For the specific types of the first waveform and the second waveform, the parameters affecting the detection distance of the first waveform can be adjusted, and the parameters affecting the detection distance of the second waveform can be adjusted.

[0060] In some embodiments, if the first waveform is an FMCW waveform, adjusting the transmission parameters of the first waveform includes: adjusting the intermediate frequency sampling rate and the frequency modulation slope corresponding to the first waveform, so that the maximum detection distance of the first waveform is the target distance.

[0061] Specifically, the target distance can be set according to actual needs. The target distance can be 2m, 3m, 5m, etc. It should be noted that the target distance needs to be a distance that can be detected by both the first waveform and the second waveform. When the first waveform is a frequency-modulated continuous wave waveform, the detection distance of the frequency-modulated continuous wave is related to the intermediate frequency sampling rate and the frequency modulation slope. After the target distance is determined, by adjusting the intermediate frequency sampling rate and the frequency modulation slope, the farthest detection distance of the frequency-modulated continuous wave can be made the target distance. Among them, the larger the intermediate frequency sampling rate and the smaller the frequency modulation slope, the farther the detection distance.

[0062] In some other embodiments, the second waveform is a Doppler waveform, and the transmission parameters of the second waveform are adjusted, including: adjusting the transmission power corresponding to the second waveform so that the farthest detection distance of the second waveform is the target distance.

[0063] Specifically, the detection distance of the Doppler waveform is related to the transmission power. The larger the transmission power, the farther the detection distance. After the target distance is determined, by adjusting the transmission power, the farthest detection distance of the Doppler waveform can be limited to the target distance.

[0064] In step S103, after obtaining the first detection times corresponding to the first waveform and the second detection times corresponding to the second waveform, the target installation method of the radar can be determined according to the first detection times and the second detection times.

[0065] It should be understood that there are differences in the detection characteristics of different waveforms. For the sake of convenience of explanation, still taking the above-mentioned first waveform as a frequency-modulated continuous wave waveform and the second waveform as a Doppler waveform as an example, due to the reasons of the antenna and waveform modulation, the power and ranging ability of the frequency-modulated continuous wave are poor at a large field of view angle, and there is a detection blind area, while the Doppler waveform has good ranging ability at each field of view angle. Therefore, in different installation methods, since the detection range of the radar will also be different, the number of times each waveform detects the target will be different.

[0066] For example, in the side-mounted mode, the number of times the frequency-modulated continuous wave waveform and the Doppler waveform detect the target is approximately the same. In the top-mounted mode, since there is a blind area in the frequency-modulated continuous wave, the number of times the Doppler waveform detects the target will be much greater than that of the frequency-modulated continuous wave waveform. Based on this, the target installation method of the radar can be determined through the following steps: If the absolute value of the difference between the first detection times and the second detection times is less than the first threshold, it is determined that the target installation method is side-mounted; if the absolute value of the difference between the first detection times and the second detection times is greater than the second threshold, it is determined that the target installation method is top-mounted.

[0067] In the embodiments of the present specification, the first threshold and the second threshold can be set according to actual needs, and the first threshold is less than or equal to the second threshold. In some embodiments, when the first waveform is a frequency-modulated continuous wave waveform and the second waveform is a Doppler waveform, since the detection times of the two are similar during side installation, while there is a large difference in the detection times of the two during top installation, therefore, the first threshold can be much smaller than the second threshold. When the absolute value of the difference between the first detection time and the second detection time is less than the first threshold, it indicates that the detection times of the two are approximately equal, and then the installation method can be determined to be side installation. Similarly, when the absolute value of the difference between the first detection time and the second detection time is greater than the second threshold, it indicates that there is a large difference in the detection times of the two, and at this time, the installation method can be determined to be top installation.

[0068] In some embodiments, step S103 can also be implemented through the following steps: determining the farthest distance detected by the radar in the current period as the target farthest distance; based on the first detection time, the second detection time, the target farthest distance, and the default farthest detection distance corresponding to the radar when installed in a side-mounted manner, determining the cumulative score corresponding to the current period, where the cumulative score is used to measure the installation method of the radar; and determining the target installation method based on the cumulative score corresponding to the current period.

[0069] Specifically, depending on the environment where the radar is located, the default farthest detection distance of the radar in the side-mounted manner is also different. For example, in a home installation environment, the farthest distance in side installation can be the size of the room where the radar is located. In some embodiments, in a home installation scenario, the farthest detection distance in side installation is 5m, and the farthest detection distance in top installation is 3m.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present specification, for each period, the farthest distance detected in that period is recorded as the target farthest distance, and the cumulative score can be calculated by the following formula:

[0071]

[0072] where S is the cumulative score, K1 is the first detection time, K2 is the second detection time, λ is a constant greater than 1, D is the target farthest distance, and D′ is the default farthest detection distance when installed in a side-mounted manner.

[0073] As can be seen from the above formula, in the side-mounted mode, since K1 and K2 are approximately the same and D - D' is approximately zero, the cumulative score S is close to 1. In the top-mounted mode, K2 is much larger than K1 and D - D' is not zero. Therefore, the cumulative score S is relatively large. Based on this, when determining the target installation mode of the radar, if the cumulative score corresponding to the current period is less than the first preset value, it can be determined that the target installation mode is the side-mounted mode; if the cumulative score corresponding to the current period is greater than the second preset value, it can be determined that the target installation mode is the top-mounted mode. The first preset value and the second preset value can be set according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0074] In the embodiments of this specification, in order to make the determined target installation mode more accurate, the target installation mode can also be determined based on the cumulative scores corresponding to multiple periods. The specific steps are as follows: Obtain N cumulative scores corresponding one by one to N periods before the current period, where N is a positive integer; perform an averaging process on the N cumulative scores and the cumulative score corresponding to the current period to obtain an average cumulative score; determine the target installation mode based on the average cumulative score.

[0075] Specifically, for the N periods before the current period and the current period, the cumulative score corresponding to each period can be calculated through the above formula, which are S1, S2... Sn+1 respectively. Further, an average value calculation is performed on all the cumulative scores to obtain an average cumulative score, and the target installation mode is determined according to the average cumulative score. Among them, the value of N can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0076] In some embodiments, the target installation mode can be determined through the following steps: If the average cumulative score is less than the third threshold, determine that the target installation mode is side-mounted; if the average cumulative score is greater than the fourth threshold, determine that the target installation mode is top-mounted.

[0077] When the average cumulative score is less than the third threshold, it indicates that in these multiple periods, the difference between the first detection times and the second detection times is relatively small, which means the radar is in the side-mounted mode. When the average cumulative score is greater than the fourth threshold, it indicates that in these multiple periods, the difference between the first detection times and the second detection times is relatively large, which means the radar is in the top-mounted mode. Among them, the third threshold and the fourth threshold can be set according to actual needs and are not limited here, as long as the third threshold is less than or equal to the fourth threshold.

[0078] In the embodiments of this specification, the following steps can also be included: Compare the target installation mode with the preset installation mode stored in the radar; if the target installation mode is different from the preset installation mode, generate a reminder message to remind the user that the radar installation mode has changed.

[0079] In some embodiments, the preset installation method can be manually input when the radar is initially installed. In other embodiments, the installation method of the radar can be calculated and stored by the method provided above at a preset frequency, and then the preset installation method can be the installation method of the radar calculated and stored last time. If the target installation method is different from the preset installation method, it indicates that the installation method of the radar has changed. To ensure the effective operation of the radar, at this time, a reminder message can be generated and the user can be reminded to confirm the installation method of the radar in time by means of sound and light reminder or pushing the reminder message to the user terminal. At the same time, information about the radar failure can also be sent to the server or the associated devices of the radar.

[0080] In summary, the solution provided in the embodiments of this specification can effectively calibrate the installation method of the radar without manual participation. By alternately transmitting different waveforms, the installation method of the radar can be determined based on the number of target detections under different waveforms without adding additional antennas or other modules, which is simple to implement and reduces the volume of the radar. In addition, in the embodiments of this specification, by alternately transmitting the frequency-modulated continuous wave waveform and the Doppler waveform, the detection ability deficiency of the frequency-modulated continuous wave at large angles can be effectively compensated, and the large-angle detection ability of the radar is improved.
