Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent air outlet of air conditioners, and more specifically, to an intelligent control method, device and system for air conditioners based on machine vision. Background Art

[0002] During the use of an air conditioner, usually to ensure the maximum cooling effect in a local area, the air guide vanes of the air conditioner are set to the maximum air outlet state, resulting in users in the directly blown area of the air conditioner clearly feeling cold wind blowing on their bodies, and the temperature in the directly blown area of the air conditioner being significantly lower than the room temperature. Some people in a sub-healthy state or those who do not often use the air conditioner will feel unwell. However, in special scenarios such as eating hot pot, being directly blown by the air conditioner for a short time will not cause discomfort but will be very comfortable. Different scenarios may have different choices for the air conditioner's wind direction, but users need to manually control it through the remote control, which greatly reduces the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent control method for an air conditioner based on machine vision, the method includes: obtaining the real-time position of a user through an image collected by a camera; when the air conditioner is operating in the wind-avoiding-human mode, if it is determined according to the real-time position that the user enters the directly blown area of the air conditioner multiple times, then switch to the wind-blowing-human mode for operation; when the air conditioner is operating in the wind-blowing-human mode, if it is determined according to the real-time position that the user leaves the directly blown area of the air conditioner multiple times, then switch to the wind-avoiding-human mode for operation.

[0004] The intelligent control method for an air conditioner based on machine vision provided by the embodiment of the present invention obtains the position information of the user by collecting an image through a camera, and judges based on the position information of the user and the air conditioner's wind direction. When the user actively enters the directly blown area multiple times, the wind-blowing-human mode is adopted, and when the user actively leaves the directly blown area multiple times, the wind-avoiding-human mode is adopted, thereby intelligently adjusting the air outlet direction of the air conditioner, eliminating the need for the user to adjust the wind direction through the remote control, improving the user experience, and the control method has a simple logic and is easy to implement, and can be widely used.

[0005] Optionally, the method further includes: when the air conditioner is operating in the wind-blowing-human mode, if it is determined through the image collected by the camera that the user makes an action of covering with a warming object, then switch to the wind-avoiding-human mode for operation.

[0006] In the embodiment of the present invention, by recognizing the action of the user covering with a warming object, it is determined that the user currently does not need to be directly blown by cold wind on the body. In this case, it is automatically switched to the wind-avoiding-human mode for operation, avoiding the impact on the user's physical health caused by the air conditioner blowing directly for a long time due to the user's laziness.

[0007] Optionally, the method further includes: after the air conditioner switches from the wind-avoiding-human mode to the wind-blowing-human mode, if there is no action of the user actively leaving the direct-blow area of the air conditioner or covering with a warm object multiple times, it switches to the wind-avoiding-human mode after continuously running for a first duration.

[0008] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the air conditioner switches from the wind-avoiding-human mode to the wind-blowing-human mode, considering that the human body usually cannot withstand direct cold wind blowing for a long time, a control logic for automatically switching to the wind-avoiding-human mode is also set. Even if the action of the user actively leaving the direct-blow area of the air conditioner or covering with a warm object multiple times is not recognized, it can automatically switch to the wind-avoiding-human mode to avoid blowing directly on the human body for a long time and reduce the risk of the user feeling unwell.

[0009] Optionally, the method further includes: when the air conditioner is operating in the wind-avoiding-human mode, if a command for the user to control the switch to the wind-blowing-human mode is received, it switches to the wind-blowing-human mode for operation.

[0010] In the embodiment of the present invention, it can be switched from the wind-avoiding-human mode to the wind-blowing-human mode based on the active control action of the user, improving the adaptability of the solution to different user preferences and better meeting the user's needs.

[0011] Optionally, the method further includes: after the air conditioner switches to the wind-blowing-human mode based on the command, it switches to the wind-avoiding-human mode after continuously running for a second duration.

[0012] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the above switch, it can also automatically switch to the wind-avoiding-human mode after a certain duration to avoid blowing directly on the human body for a long time and reduce the risk of the user feeling unwell.

[0013] Optionally, the method further includes: after the air conditioner is turned on, it operates in the wind-avoiding-human mode.

[0014] In the embodiment of the present invention, it initially operates in the wind-avoiding-human mode to avoid direct blowing and make the user feel unwell.

[0015] Optionally, the number of times the user enters the direct-blow area of the air conditioner is three, and / or the number of times the user leaves the direct-blow area of the air conditioner is three.

[0016] In the embodiment of the present invention, based on the above number of times, the situation where the user accidentally or has to pass through the direct-blow area can be excluded, and the situation where the user accidentally leaves the direct-blow area can be excluded, accurately determining the user's needs for direct blowing by the air conditioner and avoiding direct blowing by the air conditioner.

[0017] An embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent control device for an air conditioner based on machine vision. The device includes: a position acquisition module, configured to acquire the real-time position of a user through an image collected by a camera; a first switching module, configured to switch to the wind blowing on people mode for operation if it is determined according to the real-time position that the user enters the direct blowing area of the air conditioner multiple times when the air conditioner is operating in the wind avoiding people mode; a second switching module, configured to switch to the wind avoiding people mode for operation if it is determined according to the real-time position that the user leaves the direct blowing area of the air conditioner multiple times when the air conditioner is operating in the wind blowing on people mode.

[0023] Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of an intelligent control device for an air conditioner based on machine vision in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention is given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] An embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent control method for an air conditioner based on machine vision, which automatically adjusts the air outlet mode of the air conditioner by collecting information such as the position where the user is located and the air direction parameters of the air conditioner.

[0026] During the operation of the air conditioner, the air direction of the air conditioner will continuously change according to the selected air outlet mode. The camera will continuously acquire the video stream of the user, and through the user's location information and the air direction of the air conditioner (corresponding to the direct blowing range), it will intelligently determine whether to adopt the air-avoiding-human mode or the air-blowing-human mode. The embodiment of the present invention can intelligently adjust the air outlet direction of the air conditioner without the user adjusting the air direction through the remote control, improving the user experience.

[0027] Figure 1 The following shows a schematic flowchart of an intelligent control method for an air conditioner based on machine vision in an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes the following steps:

[0028] S102, obtaining the real-time location of the user through the image collected by the camera.

[0029] For example, the camera can be set on the indoor unit of the air conditioner to collect the real-time video stream of the indoor environment. Through this video stream, the real-time location of the user and the scene can be analyzed and determined. Specifically, the above real-time location is determined based on machine vision.

[0030] S104, when the air conditioner is operating in the air-avoiding-human mode, if it is determined according to the above real-time location that the user enters the direct blowing area of the air conditioner multiple times, then switch to the air-blowing-human mode for operation.

[0031] In the air-avoiding-human mode, the air conditioner automatically adjusts the air outlet direction, and its air outlet direction will avoid the position where the human body is located, so that the human body is outside the direct blowing area of the air conditioner. If the user was originally not in the direct blowing area of the air conditioner, but enters the direct blowing area multiple times, it can be excluded that the user accidentally or has to pass through the direct blowing area, but actively moves into the direct blowing area, indicating its demand for direct air blowing from the air conditioner. In this case, it automatically switches to the air-blowing-human mode for operation without the user actively adjusting (such as adjusting the air direction through the remote control), improving the user experience.

[0032] Among them, the number of times the user enters the direct blowing area of the air conditioner is three times. If the user enters the direct blowing area of the air conditioner three times, then switch to the air-blowing-human mode for operation. Based on this, it can be excluded that the user accidentally or has to pass through the direct blowing area, and accurately determine the user's demand for direct air blowing from the air conditioner.

[0033] S106, when the air conditioner is operating in the air-blowing-human mode, if it is determined according to the above real-time location that the user leaves the direct blowing area of the air conditioner multiple times, then switch to the air-avoiding-human mode for operation.

[0034] In the wind blowing towards people mode, the air conditioner automatically adjusts the air outlet direction so that the air outlet direction follows the position of the human body, enabling the human body to cool down faster. If the user was originally in the direct blowing area of the air conditioner and has left the direct blowing area multiple times, it can effectively rule out the situation where the user accidentally leaves the direct blowing area. Instead, it means that the user actively moves away from the direct blowing area, indicating their behavior of avoiding direct air blowing from the air conditioner. In this case, it automatically switches to the wind avoiding people mode for operation without the user having to actively adjust, improving the user experience.

[0035] Among them, the number of times the user leaves the direct blowing area of the air conditioner is three times. If the user leaves the direct blowing area of the air conditioner three times, it switches to the wind avoiding people mode for operation. Based on this, it can rule out the situation where the user accidentally leaves the direct blowing area and accurately determine the user's need to avoid direct air blowing from the air conditioner.

[0036] The intelligent air conditioner control method based on machine vision provided by the embodiments of the present invention acquires the position information of the user by collecting images through a camera, and makes a judgment based on the position information of the user and the air direction of the air conditioner. When the user actively enters the direct blowing area multiple times, the wind blowing towards people mode is adopted. When the user actively leaves the direct blowing area multiple times, the wind avoiding people mode is adopted. Thus, it intelligently adjusts the air outlet direction of the air conditioner without the user having to adjust the air direction through a remote control, improving the user experience. Moreover, the control method has a simple logic and is easy to implement, and can be widely used.

[0037] Considering that after the user feels discomfort from direct air blowing, they may also keep warm by covering with a quilt or blanket, etc. After obtaining the above situation, it can be correspondingly switched to the wind avoiding people mode for operation. Based on this, the above method may further include: when the air conditioner is operating in the wind blowing towards people mode, if it is determined from the image collected by the camera that the user makes an action of covering a warming object, it switches to the wind avoiding people mode for operation. By recognizing the action of the user covering the warming object, it is determined that the user currently does not need cold air to directly blow on the body. In this case, it automatically switches to the wind avoiding people mode for operation, avoiding the impact on the user's physical health caused by long-term direct air blowing from the air conditioner due to the user's laziness.

[0038] After the air conditioner switches from the wind avoiding people mode to the wind blowing towards people mode, considering that usually the human body cannot bear direct cold air blowing for a long time, a control logic for automatically switching to the wind avoiding people mode is also set. Based on this, after the above switch, if it does not recognize that the user actively leaves the direct blowing area of the air conditioner multiple times or makes an action of covering a warming object, it switches to the wind avoiding people mode for operation after running for the first duration. Exemplarily, the first duration is 5 minutes.

[0039] In this embodiment, even if it does not recognize that the user actively leaves the direct blowing area of the air conditioner multiple times or makes an action of covering a warming object, it can automatically switch to the wind avoiding people mode for operation, thus avoiding long-term direct air blowing on the human body and reducing the risk of the user feeling unwell.

[0040] Optionally, in this embodiment, the user can actively switch between the above-mentioned wind-avoiding-human mode and the wind-blowing-human mode through a remote control or other devices. Based on this, when the air conditioner is operating in the wind-avoiding-human mode, if a command to switch to the wind-blowing-human mode is received from the user, it will switch to the wind-blowing-human mode for operation. Further, after switching to the wind-blowing-human mode based on the user control command, a control logic for automatically switching to the wind-avoiding-human mode is also set. Based on this, after the air conditioner switches to the wind-blowing-human mode based on the command, it will switch to the wind-avoiding-human mode for operation after continuously running for a second duration. Exemplarily, this first duration is 30 minutes.

[0041] In this embodiment, it is possible to switch from the wind-avoiding-human mode to the wind-blowing-human mode based on the user's active control action, which improves the adaptability of the solution to different user preferences and better meets the user's needs. After the above-mentioned switch, it can also automatically switch to the wind-avoiding-human mode for operation after a certain duration, thereby avoiding blowing directly on the human body for a long time and reducing the risk of the user feeling unwell.

[0042] Optionally, after the air conditioner is turned on, it operates in the wind-avoiding-human mode, and then based on the above method, it performs mode switching, and intelligently selects different modes to adjust the air conditioner's wind direction according to the user's status and scenario.

[0043] Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the air conditioner intelligent control method flow in the embodiment of the present invention is shown, including the following steps:

[0046] S203, obtain the user's real-time position / scene information.

[0047] Analyze the user's real-time position and scene from the real-time video stream collected by the camera, and at the same time obtain the air outlet wind direction of the air conditioner at the same moment from the air conditioner control chip.

[0048] S204, judge whether it satisfies: the user actively approaches the direct blowing area ≥ 3 times or the user sets the control direct blowing mode. If yes, execute S205; if not, return to S201.

[0049] When the user actively approaches the air conditioner direct blowing area 3 times or actively selects the wind-blowing-human mode, the air conditioner enters the wind-blowing-human mode; otherwise, the air conditioner always maintains the wind-avoiding-human mode.

[0050] S205, operate in the wind-blowing-human mode.

[0051] S206, collect the real-time video stream.

[0052] S207, obtain the user's real-time position / scene information.

[0053] S208, Determine whether the following conditions are met: the user actively avoids the direct blowing area ≥ 3 times or the user covers the blanket. If so, return to S201; if not, execute S209.

[0054] When the air conditioner enters the air blowing on people mode, analyze the user's scenario and status by combining the real-time video stream collected by the camera, and at the same time obtain the air outlet direction of the air conditioner at the same moment from the air conditioner control chip. When the user actively moves away from the direct blowing area of the air conditioner 3 times or actively covers the blanket and other behaviors, the air conditioner enters the air avoiding people mode.

[0055] S209, Determine whether the following condition is met: the air blowing on people mode runs ≥ 30 minutes. If so, execute S211; if not, execute S210.

[0056] S210, Determine whether the following condition is met: the air blowing on people mode runs = 5 minutes. If so, return to S201; if not, continue to execute S205.

[0057] When there is no above action or behavior, the air conditioner runs in the air blowing on people mode for 5 minutes and then enters the air avoiding people mode again.

[0058] S211, Determine whether the following conditions are met: the air avoiding people mode runs ≥ 30 minutes or the user actively modifies the mode. If so, return to S201; if not, execute S212.

[0059] S212, The air avoiding people mode runs.

[0060] In addition, when the mode actively selected by the air conditioner is the air blowing on people mode, it will automatically enter the air avoiding people mode for 30 minutes after blowing on people for 30 minutes, and then will jump back to the original set mode again.

[0061] Specifically, after the air conditioner is turned on, it will automatically select the air avoiding people mode. Analyze the user's real-time position and scenario by combining the real-time video stream collected by the camera, and at the same time obtain the air outlet direction of the air conditioner at the same moment from the air conditioner control chip. When the user actively approaches the direct blowing area of the air conditioner 3 times or actively selects the air blowing on people mode, the air conditioner enters the air blowing on people mode; otherwise, the air conditioner always maintains the air avoiding people mode.

[0062] After the air conditioner enters the air blowing on people mode, analyze the user's scenario and status by combining the real-time video stream collected by the camera, and at the same time obtain the air outlet direction of the air conditioner at the same moment from the air conditioner control chip. When the user actively moves away from the direct blowing area of the air conditioner 3 times or actively covers the blanket and other behaviors, the air conditioner enters the air avoiding people mode; when there is no above action or behavior, the air conditioner runs in the air blowing on people mode for 5 minutes and then enters the air avoiding people mode again. In addition, when the mode actively selected by the air conditioner is the air blowing on people mode, it will automatically enter the air avoiding people mode for 30 minutes after blowing on people for 30 minutes, and then will jump back to the original set mode again.
