[0036] Before introducing the control method, device, equipment, air conditioner, medium and product of the air conditioner provided by the present disclosure, the application scenarios involved in each embodiment of the present disclosure will be introduced first. The present disclosure is applied to the scenario of air conditioner control. With the development of air conditioner technology, more and more air conditioners with photosensitive control functions are applied in people's lives. Among them, the photosensitive control function refers to the function that the air conditioner automatically adjusts the brightness of the display screen or operation interface by sensing the change of ambient light. In the existing air conditioner photosensitive control method, only the illumination intensity value of the ambient light in the environment where the air conditioner is located is considered, while ignoring that the air conditioner panel has different light transmittance for different colors of light, and its own light source will also interfere with the ambient light, thus affecting the accuracy of the acquisition of the illumination intensity value of the ambient light. For example, when the collected illumination intensity value in the space has reached the threshold for entering the automatic brightness adjustment mode, but because the display of the air conditioner itself emits light, the collected illumination intensity value is too large, so it fails to enter or exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode normally, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of the mode switch and affecting the user experience.

[0037] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a control method, device, equipment, air conditioner, medium and product of the air conditioner. In the process of photosensitive control, the influence of the air conditioner's own light source on the ambient light is fully considered. It can not only use the light source information of the target light source in the on state in the display of the air conditioner as the basis for interference analysis, but also combine the collected illumination intensity value of the ambient light in the environment where the air conditioner is located to jointly control the air conditioner to enter or exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode. In this way, the accuracy of the air conditioner's automatic brightness adjustment mode switch is greatly improved, the influence of the air conditioner's own light source on the photosensitive control determination is effectively reduced, the automatic brightness adjustment is more accurate and efficient, and thus the user experience is comprehensively improved.

[0038] The following will describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 1 shown, this method can be used in an air conditioner and includes the following steps.

[0040] In step S101, obtain the illumination intensity value corresponding to the ambient light in the environment where the air conditioner is located and the light source information corresponding to the target light source in the air conditioner.

[0041] Wherein, the target light source is the light source in the on state in the display of the air conditioner.

[0042] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the brightness adjustment function of the air conditioner is in the on state, the light intensity value corresponding to the ambient light in the environment where the air conditioner is located and the light source information corresponding to the target light source in the air conditioner can be obtained. That is to say, when the brightness adjustment function of the air conditioner is turned on, the light intensity value corresponding to the ambient light in the environment is automatically collected. For example, the light intensity value corresponding to the ambient light in the environment where the air conditioner is located can be collected by a light intensity sensor provided in the air conditioner.

[0043] While collecting the light intensity value corresponding to the ambient light, the light source information of the target light source in the air conditioner can be further determined. Among them, the light source information can include, for example, the color information corresponding to the target light source. Exemplarily, when the air conditioner receives a remote control signal, based on the remote control signal, it can be determined which light-emitting sources in the display of the air conditioner (for example, including a display panel and / or an indicator light) will change, that is, the target light source.

[0044] In step S102, according to the light intensity value and the light source information, the air conditioner is controlled to enter or exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode.

[0045] Among them, the automatic brightness adjustment mode is a function mode in which the air conditioner automatically adjusts the brightness of the display according to the light intensity value of the ambient light.

[0046] To avoid frequent mode switching of the air conditioner caused by slight fluctuations in ambient light intensity, in some embodiments, different threshold judgment conditions can be set for entering and exiting the automatic brightness adjustment mode respectively. Exemplarily, the threshold for the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode is set as H1, and the threshold for the air conditioner to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode is set as H2, where H1 < H2. When the light intensity value H of the ambient light is less than or equal to H1, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode. After entering the automatic brightness adjustment mode, the air conditioner will adjust the brightness of the display in real time according to the collected light intensity value of the ambient light to adapt to the current environment. When the light intensity value H of the ambient light is greater than or equal to H2, the air conditioner is controlled to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode. After exiting the automatic brightness adjustment mode, the brightness of the display of the air conditioner will not be actively adjusted adaptively. By setting different thresholds for entering and exiting the automatic brightness adjustment mode, it is possible to avoid the problem of waste of energy resources caused by frequent mode switching due to fluctuations of the ambient light intensity near a single threshold in the case of a single threshold.

[0047] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the accuracy of mode switching, the threshold corresponding to the automatic brightness adjustment mode can be compensated based on the light source information of the target light source in the air conditioner, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter or exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode based on the compensated threshold and the collected light intensity value.

[0048] In the process of photosensitive control using the above method, the influence of the light source of the air conditioner itself on the ambient light is fully considered. It can not only use the light source information of the target light source in the on state in the display of the air conditioner as the basis for interference analysis, but also combine the light intensity value corresponding to the ambient light in the environment where the air conditioner is located, and cooperatively control the air conditioner to enter or exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode. In this way, the accuracy of the switching of the automatic brightness adjustment mode of the air conditioner is greatly improved, the influence of the light source of the air conditioner itself on the photosensitive control determination is effectively reduced, and the automatic brightness adjustment is more accurate and efficient, thus comprehensively improving the user experience.

[0049] The following is a detailed description of the above step S102.

[0050] As Figure 2 shown, controlling the air conditioner to enter or exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode according to the light intensity value and the light source information in the above step S102 may include the following steps: In step S1021, according to the light source information, determine the target light intensity threshold corresponding to the air conditioner.

[0051] Among them, the target light intensity threshold may include a first light intensity threshold or a second light intensity threshold, and the first light intensity threshold is less than the second light intensity threshold. The first light intensity threshold can be understood as the threshold corresponding to determining whether the air conditioner enters the automatic brightness adjustment mode, and the second light intensity threshold can be understood as the threshold corresponding to determining whether the air conditioner exits the automatic brightness adjustment.

[0052] That is, when controlling the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode, the target light intensity threshold includes the first light intensity threshold. When controlling the air conditioner to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode, the target light intensity threshold includes the second light intensity threshold.

[0053] In some embodiments, the light intensity compensation value corresponding to the target light source may be determined first according to the light source information. Then, according to the light intensity compensation value, the target light intensity threshold corresponding to the air conditioner is determined.

[0054] It can be understood that the influence degrees of light sources with different colors in the air conditioner on the light intensity value of the ambient light are different. Therefore, based on the light source information corresponding to the target light source, its corresponding light intensity compensation value can be determined to compensate the entry or exit threshold of the automatic brightness adjustment mode of the air conditioner.

[0055] Among them, the light intensity compensation values corresponding to different target light sources can be obtained by laboratory measurement in advance according to the luminous intensity, light source color and panel light transmittance of the target light source. The panel light transmittances corresponding to different light source colors are different.

[0056] Exemplarily, if the display of the air conditioner can emit light sources of three colors A, B, and C (the display can emit light sources of multiple colors, and here three colors are taken as an example), when the A light source lights up alone, the light passes through the air conditioner panel and affects the light intensity sensor, and the degree of influence measured at this time is f a (that is, the light intensity compensation value corresponding to the A light source is f a ). When the light source B lights up alone, the degree of influence measured at this time is f b (that is, the light intensity compensation value corresponding to the B light source is f b ). When the light source C lights up alone, the degree of influence measured at this time is f c (that is, the light intensity compensation value corresponding to the C light source is f c ). If multiple target light sources light up simultaneously, then accumulate according to the degree of influence of different light sources, that is, accumulate the light intensity compensation values corresponding to different target light sources.

[0057] In a possible implementation manner, the target light intensity threshold includes a first light intensity threshold. According to this light intensity compensation value, determining the target light intensity threshold corresponding to the air conditioner may include: obtaining a pre-set first preset light intensity threshold; determining the first light intensity threshold according to this light intensity compensation value and the first preset light intensity threshold. For example, the sum value of the light intensity compensation value and the first preset light intensity threshold may be used as the first light intensity threshold. Wherein, the first preset light intensity threshold is a pre-set light intensity threshold for controlling the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode.

[0058] In another possible implementation manner, the target light intensity threshold includes a second light intensity threshold. According to this light intensity compensation value, determining the target light intensity threshold corresponding to the air conditioner may include: obtaining a pre-set second preset light intensity threshold; determining the second light intensity threshold according to this light intensity compensation value and the second preset light intensity threshold. For example, the sum value of the light intensity compensation value and the second preset light intensity threshold may be used as the second light intensity threshold. Wherein, the second preset light intensity threshold is a pre-set light intensity threshold for controlling the air conditioner to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode.

[0059] Taking the light sources that the air conditioner can emit including three colors A, B, and C as an example. When the air conditioner receives the remote control signal 1, the control module of the air conditioner will determine that the A light source in the display emits light, and thus respectively compensate the first preset light intensity threshold H1 for the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode and the second preset light intensity threshold H2 for the air conditioner to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode, and the light intensity compensation value is f a ; the first light intensity threshold for the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode at this time is H1 + f a , and the second light intensity threshold for the air conditioner to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode is H2 + f aWhen the air conditioner receives the remote control signal 2, the control module of the air conditioner will determine that the B light source in the display emits light, and thus compensate the first preset light intensity threshold H1 for the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode and the second preset light intensity threshold H2 for the air conditioner to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode respectively. The light intensity compensation value is f b ; The first light intensity threshold for the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode at this time is H1 + f b The second light intensity threshold for exiting the automatic brightness adjustment mode is H2 + f b When the air conditioner receives the remote control signal 3, the control module of the air conditioner will determine that the C light source in the display emits light, and thus compensate the first preset light intensity threshold H1 for the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode and the second preset light intensity threshold H2 for the air conditioner to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode respectively. The light intensity compensation value is f c The first light intensity threshold for the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode at this time is H1 + f c The second light intensity threshold for exiting the automatic brightness adjustment mode is H2 + f c At this time, the threshold for switching the automatic brightness adjustment mode of the air conditioner will change with the emission of different color light sources in the display of the air conditioner, ensuring the accuracy of the light intensity in the acquisition space to the greatest extent.

[0060] In step S1022, according to the light intensity value and the target light intensity threshold, control the air conditioner to enter or exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode.

[0061] Wherein, the target light intensity threshold includes a first light intensity threshold or a second light intensity threshold, and the first light intensity threshold is less than the second light intensity threshold.

[0062] In a possible implementation manner, the air conditioner can be controlled to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode according to the light intensity value and the first light intensity threshold. For example, when it is determined that the light intensity value is less than or equal to the first light intensity threshold, control the air conditioner to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode. That is to say, when the ambient light brightness is low, in order to improve the user experience, the air conditioner can be controlled to enter the automatic brightness adjustment mode, and then the brightness of the current air conditioner display can be adjusted in real time according to the light intensity value of the ambient light.

[0063] In another possible implementation manner, the air conditioner can be controlled to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode according to the light intensity value and the second light intensity threshold. For example, when it is determined that the light intensity value is greater than or equal to the second light intensity threshold, control the air conditioner to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode. That is to say, when the ambient light brightness is high, the air conditioner can be controlled to exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode to meet the basic usage requirements of users when the ambient light intensity is large.

[0064] Using the above method, during the photosensitive control process, the influence of the self-luminous source of the air conditioner on the ambient light is fully considered. It can not only use the light source information of the target light source in the on state in the display of the air conditioner as the basis for interference analysis, but also combine the light intensity value corresponding to the ambient light of the environment where the air conditioner is located to jointly control the air conditioner to enter or exit the automatic brightness adjustment mode. In this way, the accuracy of the switching of the automatic brightness adjustment mode of the air conditioner is greatly improved, the influence of the self-luminous source of the air conditioner on the photosensitive control determination is effectively reduced, making the automatic brightness adjustment more accurate and efficient, and thus comprehensively improving the user experience.

[0065] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a control method for an air conditioner shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 3 shown, taking the example that the light sources that the air conditioner can emit include three colors of light sources A, B, and C, the method may include the following steps: In step S201, the brightness adjustment function is turned on.

[0066] In step S202, the light intensity sensor of the air conditioner collects the light intensity value of the ambient light.

[0067] In step S203, a remote control signal is received to determine the target light source in the on state.

[0068] In step S204, it is determined whether light source A is on.

[0069] If it is determined that light source A is on, step S205 is executed; If it is determined that light source A is not on, step S206 is executed.

[0070] In step S205, compensation is performed according to the light intensity compensation value f a for compensation.

[0071] Specifically, the first preset light intensity threshold and the second preset light intensity threshold can be compensated respectively according to the light intensity compensation value f a to obtain the first light intensity threshold and the second light intensity threshold. By way of example, the first light intensity threshold can be obtained according to the sum value of the light intensity compensation value f a and the first preset light intensity threshold. The second light intensity threshold can be obtained according to the sum value of the light intensity compensation value f a and the second preset light intensity threshold.

[0072] In step S206, it is determined whether light source B is on.

[0073] If it is determined that light source B is on, step S207 is executed; If it is determined that light source B is not on, step S208 is executed.

[0074] In step S207, compensation is performed according to the light intensity compensation value f b for compensation.

[0075] Specifically, the first preset light intensity threshold and the second preset light intensity threshold can be compensated respectively according to the light intensity compensation value f b to obtain the first light intensity threshold and the second light intensity threshold. Exemplarily, the first light intensity threshold can be obtained according to the sum value of the light intensity compensation value f b and the first preset light intensity threshold. The second light intensity threshold can be obtained according to the sum value of the light intensity compensation value f b and the second preset light intensity threshold.

[0076] In step S208, it is determined whether the light source C is turned on.

[0077] If it is determined that the light source C is turned on, step S209 is executed; If it is determined that the light source C is not turned on, step S210 is executed.

[0078] In step S209, compensation is performed according to the light intensity compensation value f c for compensation.

[0079] Specifically, the first preset light intensity threshold and the second preset light intensity threshold can be compensated respectively according to the light intensity compensation value f c to obtain the first light intensity threshold and the second light intensity threshold. Exemplarily, the first light intensity threshold can be obtained according to the sum value of the light intensity compensation value f c and the first preset light intensity threshold. The second light intensity threshold can be obtained according to the sum value of the light intensity compensation value f c and the second preset light intensity threshold.

[0080] It should be noted that if there are multiple currently turned-on light sources, the light intensity compensation values of each turned-on target light source can be accumulated respectively and then used to compensate the first preset light intensity threshold and the second preset light intensity threshold. For example, the sum value of the light intensity compensation values corresponding to multiple target light sources and the first preset light intensity threshold can be used as the first light intensity threshold, and the sum value of the light intensity compensation values corresponding to multiple target light sources and the second preset light intensity threshold can be used as the second light intensity threshold.

[0081] In step S210, it is determined whether the illumination intensity value is less than or equal to the first light intensity threshold.

[0082] If it is determined that the illumination intensity value is less than or equal to the first light intensity threshold, step S211 is executed; If it is determined that the illumination intensity value is greater than the first light intensity threshold, step S212 is executed.

[0083] In step S211, the automatic brightness adjustment mode is entered.

[0084] In step S212, it is determined whether the light intensity value is greater than or equal to the second light intensity threshold.
