[0028] The preferred implementation manners of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a control method for an air handling device.

[0031] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the control method for the air handling device in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes:

[0032] Step 101: Obtain the voice data of the user;

[0033] Step 102: Determine the control intention data of the user according to the voice data;

[0034] Step 103: Determine the user attribute information and user status information of the user according to the voice data;

[0035] Step 104: Generate a control instruction based on the control intention data according to the user attribute information and user status information of the user; and

[0036] Step 105: Control the air handling device according to the control instruction.

[0037] In this way, the control intention data, user attribute information, and user status information of the user are determined based on the user's voice data. Moreover, when generating a control instruction for controlling the air handling device, the control instruction is generated not only based on the user's control intention but also in combination with the user's attributes and status. Therefore, it is possible to fully consider the actual feelings and actual needs of different users or different groups of people as well as the user in different states, provide a personalized control method suitable for the user's current state for the user, provide a comfortable and healthy environment for the user, and improve the user experience;

[0038] In addition, since the control intention data, user attribute information, and user status information for generating the control instruction can all be obtained from the voice data, it reflects the convenience and control accuracy of voice control in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention do not limit the execution order of step 102 and step 103, that is, step 102 can be executed first and then step 103, or step 103 can be executed first and then step 102, or step 102 and step 103 can be executed simultaneously.

[0040] In step 101, the voice data of the user is obtained. For example, the voice data is the voice data obtained after processing the collected voice signal.

[0041] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for implementing step 101 in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes:

[0042] Step 201: Collect the voice signal from the user;

[0043] Step 202: Process the voice signal to obtain the voice data.

[0044] In some embodiments, the voice data includes at least one of text data, voiceprint features, timbre features, pitch features, volume features, and identification information of the voice collection device that collects the voice signal.

[0045] For example, turn on voice monitoring to obtain the monitored voice signal; and identify the voice signal to obtain features such as text data, voiceprint features, timbre features, pitch features, and volume features.

[0046] In some embodiments, the control method is applicable to a scenario without a wake word. For example, directly process the collected voice signal to obtain voice data. Or, the control method is also applicable to a scenario with a wake word. For example, when a preset wake word is recognized in the collected voice signal, further processing is performed.

[0047] In some embodiments, for speech signal recognition to convert speech signals into text data, and for extraction of features such as voiceprint features, timbre features, pitch features, volume features, etc., reference may be made to related technologies. For example, one or more trained AI models are used to implement text conversion of speech signals and extraction of features such as voiceprint features, timbre features, pitch features, volume features, etc. Embodiments of the present invention do not limit specific recognition methods.

[0048] In some embodiments, the range of the enabled voice monitoring is the target space, and the user is a person within the target space. Additionally, before performing voice monitoring on the target space, voice monitoring is enabled after confirmation by the user.

[0049] For example, in the APP of the user terminal, the user makes a confirmation or setting to enable the functions of voice monitoring and voice control. Additionally, the user can also set the range for voice monitoring in the APP.

[0050] In some embodiments, the target space is all the spaces of a venue. For example, each room in a home, including the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, the target space can also be a part of the space of a venue. For example, a specific space set by the user, such as a room where the user stays for a long time every day; or, the target space can also be a space where there is someone, such as a room detected by a human body sensor to have someone.

[0052] In some embodiments, at least one air handling device acts on the indoor space in the target space.

[0053] For example, at least one air handling device is provided in the target space. For example, the air handling device includes the indoor unit of an air conditioner installed in the indoor space. In some embodiments, indoor units are provided in each indoor space within the target space, or indoor units are provided in some of the indoor spaces within the target space.

[0054] For example, the air handling device can be associated with the indoor space in the target space. For example, the corresponding relationship between the air handling device and the indoor space is determined through the binding information of the air handling device.

[0055] In some embodiments, the air handling device may not be provided in the indoor space of the target space, but acts on the indoor space of the target space. For example, a air supply device with the main unit installed above the ceiling.

[0056] In some embodiments, the air handling devices acting on the target space can include at least one air handling device of various types. For example, the air handling device includes at least one of an indoor unit, an air supply device, a humidity control device, and a floor heating device.

[0057] In some embodiments, the indoor unit is an indoor unit in an air handling system including an air handling device, and the air handling system may include a commercial air conditioning system or a household air conditioning system.

[0058] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system may include at least one set of outdoor units and at least one indoor unit connected to each set of outdoor units. That is to say, in the air conditioning system, one or more sets of outdoor units may be included, and each set of outdoor units includes at least one outdoor unit; for one set of outdoor units, the set of outdoor units is connected to at least one indoor unit.

[0059] For example, the air conditioning system includes one outdoor unit and one indoor unit connected to the outdoor unit.

[0060] For example, the air conditioning system includes one outdoor unit and at least two indoor units connected to the outdoor unit.

[0061] For example, the air conditioning system includes at least two outdoor units and at least two indoor units connected to the at least two outdoor units.

[0062] For example, one set of outdoor units and at least one indoor unit connected to the set of outdoor units form a refrigerant system, or multiple sets of outdoor units and at least one indoor unit respectively connected to the multiple sets of outdoor units form multiple refrigerant systems. Thus, the air conditioning system may include one refrigerant system or multiple refrigerant systems.

[0063] In some embodiments, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit may be air conditioning devices of various models, various types, various forms, and various capacities. For example, the form of the indoor unit may be four-side air outlet, two-side air outlet, duct machine, floor air outlet, or skirting air outlet, etc.; the form of the outdoor unit may be single-fan top air outlet, double-fan top air outlet, single-fan front air outlet, or double-fan front air outlet, etc.

[0064] In some embodiments, the air supply device includes at least one of a fresh air treatment device, a total heat exchanger (for example, with or without an internal circulation function), and a ventilation device (for example, with or without an internal circulation function).

[0065] In some embodiments, the air valve for controlling the air supply volume of the indoor space is, for example, an air valve for controlling the amount of air sent by the air supply device into the indoor space. For example, when the external circulation function of the total heat exchanger is turned on, the air valve for controlling the air supply volume of the indoor space can control the air volume of the outdoor air introduced into the indoor space; when the internal circulation function of the total heat exchanger is turned on, the air valve for controlling the air supply volume of the indoor space can control the air volume of the indoor air introduced into the indoor space.

[0066] In some embodiments, the humidity control device has at least one of a humidifying function and a dehumidifying function. For example, the humidity control device is provided on the output side of the air supply device to adjust the humidity of the air output by the air supply device. For example, the air output by the air supply device is humidified or dehumidified, and the humidified or dehumidified air is introduced into the indoor space. For example, the humidity control device has a heat exchanger therein, and the heat exchanger can operate as an evaporator.

[0067] In some embodiments, the floor heating device is connected to the outdoor unit through a refrigerant pipeline, and the floor heating device is connected to the floor heating heat dissipation pipeline in the indoor space through a floor heating water pipeline. For example, the outdoor unit and the floor heating device form an air source heat pump water heater, which uses the heat in the air and the operation of the compressor to heat water; the floor heating device may include a water heat exchange unit, and the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor of the outdoor unit enters the water heat exchange unit of the floor heating device through the refrigerant pipeline and exchanges heat with water, so as to achieve the purpose of heating water, and the heated water is introduced into the floor heating heat dissipation pipeline in the indoor space through the floor heating water pipeline to supply heat to the indoor space. In some embodiments, the outdoor unit and the floor heating device are split type or integrated.

[0068] In some embodiments, voice monitoring is performed through a voice collection device.

[0069] In some embodiments, the voice collection device includes at least one voice collection device provided in the target space.

[0070] In some embodiments, the voice collection device can be various types of collection devices. For example, the voice collection device can use a separately provided sound sensor, or can use a sound sensor provided in the air handling device and a sound sensor provided in the controller of the air handling device to collect indoor voice data.

[0071] For example, the voice collection device includes at least one of a central controller, a line controller, a remote controller, a user terminal, an indoor unit, an air quality sensor, a smart voice device, and a smart display device.

[0072] For example, the smart voice device includes a smart speaker, and the smart display device includes a smart TV or a smart screen, etc.

[0073] In some embodiments, after extracting the voiceprint features in the voice signal, user verification is performed according to the voiceprint features. When the verification is successful, the control intention data, the user attribute information, and the user status information of the user are determined according to the voice data, and control is performed based on the control intention data, the user attribute information, and the user status information of the user.

[0074] For example, the voiceprint data of a user is pre-registered, and the voiceprint features in the obtained voice signal are compared and verified with the pre-registered voiceprint data of the user. When the two are consistent, the verification is considered successful, and recognition based on the voice signal is allowed and control corresponding to the recognition result is executed.

[0075] In this way, user verification based on voiceprint can improve the security and reliability of control.

[0076] In some embodiments, the obtained voice signal contains the voices of multiple users. In this case, when the voiceprint features extracted from the voice signal include the voiceprints of multiple users, the control intention data, the user attribute information, and the user status information of the user with the highest priority or the registered user among the multiple users are determined according to the voice data, and control is performed based on the control intention data, the user attribute information, and the user status information of the user. For example, the priorities of multiple users at home are preset, or a specific user has registered their voiceprint.

[0077] For example, the obtained voice signal contains the voices of User A and User B. Since the priority of User A is preset to be higher than that of User B, then, recognition and control are performed according to the voice signal belonging to User A; or, since User A has pre-registered voiceprint data while User B has not, then, recognition and control are performed according to the voice signal belonging to User A.

[0078] In this way, when multiple users send voices, determining the voice data for recognition and control according to the priority or registration data can improve the security and reliability of control.

[0079] After obtaining the voice data of the user, in step 102, the control intention data of the user is determined according to the voice data.

[0080] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the method for implementing step 102 in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As Figure 3 shown, the method includes:

[0081] Step 301: Extract control-related words from the voice data;

[0082] Step 302: Determine the control intention data according to the control-related words.

[0083] In step 301, control-related words are extracted from the voice data. For example, control-related words refer to the words related to control in the text data of the voice data, and control intention data refers to the data related to the control intention of the user.

[0084] In this way, determining the control intention based on the extracted control-related words can accurately determine the control intention of the user.

[0085] In some embodiments, the control correlation word includes at least one of a first control correlation word and a second control correlation word.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first control correlation word includes information about the operation of the air handling device, that is, the first control correlation word directly represents the control intention of the user to control the air handling device. For example, the first control correlation word is "turn on air conditioning for cooling", "turn on humidification", "lower the temperature", etc.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present application, the operation of the user on the air handling device can be various operations on the air handling device.

[0088] In some embodiments, the operation of the user on the air handling device includes at least one of the following operations: turning on the air handling device; turning off the air handling device; setting or changing the set parameters of the air handling device; setting or changing the operating mode of the air handling device.

[0089] In some embodiments, the set parameters of the air handling device include at least one of a set temperature, a set air volume, and a set humidity.

[0090] For example, the operations on the indoor unit include: turning on or off the indoor unit, setting or changing the set temperature of the indoor unit, setting or changing the air volume of the indoor unit, setting or changing the operating mode of the indoor unit, such as a cooling mode, a heating mode, a dehumidification mode, an energy-saving mode, a silent mode, etc.

[0091] For example, the operations on the humidity control device include: turning on or off the humidity control device, setting or changing the set humidity of the humidity control device, setting or changing the operating mode of the humidity control device, such as a humidification mode, a dehumidification mode, a strong humidification mode, a strong dehumidification mode, a silent mode, etc.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second control correlation word includes the user's feeling information, that is, the second control correlation word indirectly represents the control intention of the user to control the air handling device.

[0093] For example, the user's feeling information is the user's feeling about the environment, or the user's feeling information is the feeling caused by the discomfort of the environment.

[0094] For example, the second control correlation word includes the user's feelings about the environment such as "hot", "cold", "stuffy", "humid", "wet", "stuffy", "dry", "dryness", "bad air", "poor air quality", "smelly", "odor".

[0095] In this way, the control intention of the user can be accurately and comprehensively determined in various scenarios, improving the user experience.

[0096] After extracting the control correlation words from the voice data, in step 302, control intention data is determined according to the control correlation words. For example, it includes at least one of the following steps:

[0097] Generating control intention data according to information on the operation of the air handling device; and

[0098] Obtaining control intention data corresponding to the user's feeling information from the control intention association table according to the user's feeling information.

[0099] Among them, when the control correlation words include the first control correlation words, control intention data is generated according to information on the operation of the air handling device;

[0100] For example, if the control correlation words include the operation information "turn on cooling", the generated control intention is "lower the temperature";

[0101] For example, if the control correlation words include the operation information "turn on fresh air", the generated control intention is "ventilate";

[0102] For example, if the control correlation words include the operation information "the air conditioner temperature is a little higher", the generated control intention is "raise the temperature".

[0103] When the control correlation words include the second control correlation words, control intention data corresponding to the user's feeling information is obtained from the control intention association table according to the user's feeling information.

[0104] In some embodiments, the control intention association table is preset and stored, and can be continuously updated.

[0105] Table 1 is an example of the control intention association table of Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0106] Table 1

[0107] Second control correlative word Control intention Hot Lower the temperature Cold Raise the temperature Stuffy Lower the temperature; Dehumidify Humid Dehumidify Wet Ventilate Dry Humidify Poor air quality Ventilate Smelly Ventilate; Dehumidify

[0108] As shown in Table 1, each second control correlation word has a corresponding control intention. In addition, one second control correlation word corresponds to one or more control intentions.

[0109] It should be noted that Table 1 is only an example of the second control correlation words and the corresponding control intentions. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to the second control correlation words shown, nor are they limited to the control intentions shown. As long as the second control correlation words and control intentions considered reasonable by those skilled in the art are included within the scope of the present application.

[0110] In step 103, the user attribute information and user status information of the user are determined according to the voice data.

[0111] In some embodiments, the user attribute information includes at least one of the user's age, gender, identity, and priority, and the user status information includes at least one of the user's emotional state and health state.

[0112] In this way, the adjustment of the device control parameters is considered from multiple dimensions to achieve personalized control.

[0113] For example, the user's age can be a specific number of years, or it can be categories divided according to age, such as children, young adults, the elderly, etc.;

[0114] For example, the user's gender is male or female;

[0115] For example, the user's identity is the male owner, female owner, child, elderly, etc. at home;

[0116] For example, the user's priority is high, medium, low, etc.

[0117] For example, the user's emotional state can include various emotions, such as excitement, happiness, calmness, sadness, irritability, anger, etc.

[0118] For example, the user's health state can include healthy, unwell, ill, etc.

[0119] In some embodiments, in step 103, the user attribute information of the user is determined according to at least one of the voiceprint feature and timbre feature in the voice data.

[0120] For example, the voiceprint feature in the voice data is compared with the registered voiceprint feature to determine the user's identity; in addition, when the priority of the user is pre-set, the priority of the user can also be determined according to the voiceprint feature;

[0121] For example, the gender of the user is determined to be male or female according to the timbre feature in the voice data. In addition, the age of the user can also be determined according to the timbre feature. For example, it is determined which category of population the user belongs to among infants, teenagers, adults, and the elderly;

[0122] Determining the user's gender and age according to the timbre feature can refer to related technologies. For example, a trained AI model is used to identify the user's gender and age based on the timbre feature.

[0123] In some embodiments, in step 103, the user status information of the user is determined according to at least one of the text data, voiceprint feature, pitch feature, and volume feature in the voice data.

[0124] For example, if the text data of the voice data contains content such as "Great" and "So happy", then the emotional state of the user can be determined as "happy"; when the volume feature is "high volume" at the same time, the emotional state of the user can be determined as "excited".

[0125] For example, if the pitch feature of the voice data includes "sharp" and the volume feature is "high volume", then the emotional state of the user can be determined as "agitated" or "angry".

[0126] For example, if the voiceprint feature of the voice data includes features such as sobbing and crying, then the emotional state of the user can be determined as "sad".

[0127] For example, if the voiceprint feature of the voice data includes features such as coughing, sneezing, and hoarse throat, then the health state of the user can be determined as "uncomfortable" or "ill".

[0128] Determining the user's gender and age based on the timbre feature can refer to related technologies. For example, using a trained AI model to identify the emotional state and health state of the user based on at least one of the text data, voiceprint feature, pitch feature, and volume feature.

[0129] After determining the control intention, user attribute information, and user status information of the user based on the user's voice data, in step 104, according to the user attribute information and user status information of the user, a control instruction is generated based on the control intention data.

[0130] In some embodiments, the content of the control instruction includes at least one of the air handling device as the control object, and the operation mode and set parameters of the air handling device.

[0131] For example, the air handling device includes at least one of an indoor unit, a ventilation device, a humidifying device, and a floor heating device.

[0132] For example, the operation modes of the indoor unit include a cooling mode, a heating mode, a dehumidifying mode, an energy-saving mode, a silent mode, etc.; the operation modes of the humidifying device include a humidifying mode, a dehumidifying mode, a strong humidifying mode, a strong dehumidifying mode, a silent mode, etc.; the operation modes of the ventilation device include an external circulation and an internal circulation, etc.

[0133] For example, the set parameters of the air handling device include at least one of a set temperature, a set air volume, and a set humidity.

[0134] In some embodiments, for different users with at least one of the user attribute information and the user status information being different, at least one of the air handling device, the operation mode of the air handling device, and the set parameters of the air handling device determined in the control instruction is different.

[0135] In some embodiments, for users with different user attributes or user states, the air handling devices they control are different.

[0136] For example, for the voice data "a bit hot", for children and young adults, control the air conditioner indoor unit to turn on for cooling, and for the elderly, control the air supply device to turn on for ventilation with the outside.

[0137] Another example, for the voice data "a bit hot", for healthy people, control the air conditioner indoor unit to turn on for cooling, and for those who are unwell or ill, control the air supply device to turn on for ventilation with the outside.

[0138] In some embodiments, for users with different user attributes or user states, the operating modes of the air handling devices they control are different.

[0139] For example, for the voice data "too stuffy", for children and young adults, turn on the cooling mode of the air conditioner indoor unit for a period of time and then turn on the dehumidification mode, and for the elderly, directly turn on the dehumidification mode.

[0140] In some embodiments, for users with different user attributes or user states, the set parameters of the air handling devices they control are different.

[0141] For example, for the voice data "too hot", for a calm child, set the temperature to 25°C, for an excited child, set the temperature to 24°C, for a calm elderly person, set the temperature to 27°C, and for an excited elderly person, set the temperature to 26°C.

[0142] Another example, for the voice data "lower the air conditioner temperature", for a calm child, lower the set temperature by 1°C, for an excited child, lower the set temperature by 1.5°C, for a calm elderly person, lower the set temperature by 0.5°C, and for an excited elderly person, lower the set temperature by 1°C.

[0143] In this way, it is possible to provide users with a personalized control method suitable for the user's current state and in line with the user's actual situation, further improving the user experience.

[0144] In some embodiments, the control instruction can be determined based on a preset control instruction database.

[0145] For example, in the preset control instruction database, determine the control instruction corresponding to the user attribute information, user state information, and control intention data of the user.

[0146] In this way, by looking up the table to determine the control instruction, it is possible to simply and quickly determine the corresponding control instruction, improving the control efficiency.

[0147] Table 2 shows an example of some data in the control instruction database of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In Table 2, taking the control intention of "lowering the temperature" as an example for illustration.

[0148] Table 2

[0149]

[0150] As shown in Table 2, for the same control intention, the control instructions corresponding to different populations and different states may be different.

[0151] It should be noted that Table 2 is only taken as an example. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to the shown user attributes, user states, nor the shown control instructions. Any corresponding relationship between user attributes, user states, and control instructions that is considered reasonable by those skilled in the art is included within the scope of the present application.

[0152] As described above, in the preset control instruction database, determine the control instruction corresponding to the user's user attribute information, user state information, and control intention data.

[0153] In some embodiments, according to the user's user attribute information, determine whether the user meets the preset priority; when the user meets the preset priority, in the preset control instruction database, determine the control instruction corresponding to the user's user attribute information, user state information, and control intention data.

[0154] For example, when the user belongs to a user with a high priority, or for the user with the highest priority among multiple users, in the preset control instruction database, determine the control instruction corresponding to the user's user attribute information, user state information, and control intention data

[0155] In this way, by judging the priority of the user, for example, in a scenario with multiple-person voices, based on the attributes and states of the user with a high priority, determine the control instruction, further improving the user experience.

[0156] In some embodiments, at least one of the user's geographical information, user location information, indoor environment parameters, outdoor environment parameters, and user operation habit information can be further combined to determine the control instruction.

[0157] For example, the user geographical information includes the country and region where the user is located. For example, user A is in the Northeast region of China, and user B is in the South China region;

[0158] The user's geographical information can, for example, utilize an AI model to identify the language and dialect in the voice signal, thereby determining the user's geographical information; additionally, the country and region where the user is located can also be determined based on the positioning information of the air handling device;

[0159] For example, the user location information includes information about the space where the user is located in the target space. For example, the user is in the living room, bedroom, or kitchen, etc.;

[0160] The user location information can, for example, be determined by the identification information of the voice collection device that collects the voice signal. For example, if the voice signal is collected by the wired controller in the bedroom, it is considered that the user is currently in the bedroom;

[0161] For example, the indoor environmental parameters and outdoor environmental parameters include at least one of temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration.

[0162] The indoor environmental parameters can, for example, be obtained through at least one of the sensors on the indoor air handling device and the separately set sensors; the outdoor environmental parameters can, for example, be obtained through the data provided on the weather service platform;

[0163] For example, the user operation habit information includes the user's operation habits regarding the operation mode and set parameters, etc. For example, the user is accustomed to setting the air conditioner at a very low temperature in summer, or the user is accustomed to turning on the strong humidification mode in winter.

[0164] The user operation habits can, for example, be obtained through the manufacturer's server of the air handling device, or through the local control device.

[0165] Additionally, at least one of the user's geographical information and the user's location information can be determined based on the voice data. For example, the language and dialect in the voice signal are identified to determine the user's geographical information; or, the identification information of the voice collection device that collects the voice signal is used to determine the space where the user is located.

[0166] In this way, the geographical information and location information are directly determined based on the voice data, making full use of the voice data to achieve personalized control and reflecting the advantages of voice control.

[0167] In some embodiments, when at least one of the user's geographical information, user location information, indoor environmental parameters, outdoor environmental parameters, and user operation habit information is obtained, based on the user's user attribute information and user status information, and in combination with at least one of the user's geographical information, user location information, indoor environmental parameters, outdoor environmental parameters, and user operation habit information, the control instruction is generated based on the control intention data.

[0168] Figure 4It is another schematic diagram of the control method of the air handling device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As Figure 4 shown, the method includes:

[0169] Step 401: Obtain the user's voice data;

[0170] Step 402: Determine the user's control intention data according to the voice data;

[0171] Step 403: Determine the user attribute information and user status information of the user according to the voice data;

[0172] Step 404: Obtain at least one of the user's geographical information, user location information, indoor environment parameters, outdoor environment parameters, and user operation habit information;

[0173] Step 405: Generate the control instruction based on the control intention data according to the user attribute information and user status information of the user, and in combination with at least one of the user's geographical information, user location information, indoor environment parameters, outdoor environment parameters, and user operation habit information; and

[0174] Step 406: Control the air handling device according to the control instruction.

[0175] The embodiments of the present invention do not limit the execution order of steps 403-405.

[0176] For example, as described above, for the voice data "too hot", the set temperature is 25°C for a calm child, 24°C for an excited child, 27°C for a calm elderly person, and 26°C for an excited elderly person. In step 405, further combining the user's geographical attribute, the user is located in South China, and users in South China are used to setting the air conditioner temperature lower. Combining this geographical attribute, for the voice data "too hot", the above set temperatures are all lowered by 1°C, that is, for users in South China, the set temperature is 24°C for a calm child, 23°C for an excited child, 26°C for a calm elderly person, and 25°C for an excited elderly person.

[0177] For another example, as described above, for the voice data "too stuffy", for children and young adults, after turning on the cooling of the air conditioner indoor unit for a period of time, the dehumidification mode is turned on. For the elderly, the dehumidification mode is directly turned on. In step 405, further combined with the indoor environment parameters, for example, the current indoor temperature is 30°C. Combining this indoor environment parameter, for the voice data "too stuffy", whether for children and young adults or the elderly, the cooling of the air conditioner indoor unit is turned on for a period of time and then the dehumidification mode is turned on to ensure the comfort of the user.

[0178] For another example, as described above, for the voice data "a bit hot", for children and young adults, the air conditioner indoor unit is controlled to turn on the cooling. For the elderly, the air supply device is controlled to exchange air with the outside. In step 405, further combined with the user operation habit information. For example, the elderly user A often turns on the air conditioner for cooling. Then, combining this user operation habit information, for the voice data "a bit hot", for the elderly user A, instead of turning on the air supply device for air exchange, the air conditioner indoor unit is controlled to turn on the cooling.

[0179] For another example, for the voice data "lower the air conditioner temperature", for children, the set temperature is lowered by 1.5°C. For the elderly, the set temperature is lowered by 1°C. In step 405, further combined with the user location information. For example, this voice signal is collected in the bedroom. Considering that the set temperature during sleep can be appropriately increased. Then, combining the user location information, for the voice data "lower the air conditioner temperature", the above set temperature is increased by 0.5°C. That is, for children, the set temperature is lowered by 1°C. For the elderly, the set temperature is lowered by 0.5°C.

[0180] In this way, by combining more information to adjust the control instruction, the control instruction can be adjusted from more dimensions, further realizing personalized control, improving the rationality of control and user comfort, and enhancing the user experience.

[0181] Figure 5 It is a flowchart of the control method of the air handling device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As Figure 5 shown, the method includes:

[0182] Step 501: Collect the voice signal from the user;

[0183] Step 502: Process the voice signal to obtain the voice data;

[0184] Step 503: Determine the control intention data of the user according to the voice data;

[0185] Step 504: Determine the user attribute information and user status information of the user according to the voice data;

[0186] Step 505: Determine whether the user meets the preset priority according to the user attribute information of the user; when the judgment result is "yes", go to step 506, and when the judgment result is "no", return to step 501;

[0187] Step 506: In the preset control instruction database, determine the control instruction corresponding to the user attribute information, the user status information, and the control intention data of the user; and

[0188] Step 507: Control the air handling equipment according to the control instruction.

[0189] For the specific implementation of steps 501 - 507, reference can be made to the relevant content above, which will not be elaborated here.

Therefore, it is possible to fully consider the actual feelings and actual needs of different users or different groups of people and the user in different states, provide a personalized control method suitable for the user's current state for the user, provide a comfortable and healthy environment for the user, and improve the user experience;

[0191] In addition, since the control intention data, user attribute information, and user status information for generating the control instruction can all be obtained from the voice data, it reflects the convenience and control accuracy of voice control in the embodiments of the present invention.
