[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Embodiment 1 of the present application provides a control method for an air treatment device.

[0027] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a control method for an air treatment device according to an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes:

[0028] Step 101: Turn on sound monitoring and obtain sound data;

[0029] Step 102: Determine whether there is anyone in the target space based on the sound data in the target space;

[0030] Step 103: Control the air handling device to perform corresponding operations according to the determination result and the sound data at the entrances and exits of the target space.

[0031] According to the above embodiments, sound data is obtained through sound monitoring. Whether there is anyone in the target space is determined based on the sound data in the target space. The air handling device is controlled to perform corresponding operations according to the determination result and the sound data at the entrances and exits of the target space. When controlling the air handling device, whether there is anyone in the target space and the sound data at the entrances and exits of the target space are considered. These information are related to the current scenario (such as scenarios where people leave or return home, etc.). Controlling the air handling device according to these information helps to reduce power consumption, save energy and reduce emissions, and also helps to improve the rationality and intelligence of the control and enhance the user experience.

[0032] In some embodiments, in step 101, sound monitoring can be performed through a sound collection device. The sound collection device can be various devices with sound collection functions, such as at least one of a central controller, a wired controller, a remote controller, a user terminal, and a smart speaker in an air handling system. The specific method of obtaining sound data through sound monitoring can refer to related technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0033] In some embodiments, the sound data obtained through sound monitoring can include the sound data in the target space, or the sound data at the entrances and exits of the target space.

[0034] Among them, the target space can be a living space. The living space can include at least one room, such as a living room, a bedroom, a toilet, a kitchen, a balcony, etc. The target space can be the entire living space, or it can also be a room in the living space. This application is not limited thereto. The target space can also be a public space, such as an office, a meeting room, a classroom, or a laboratory, etc.

[0035] In some embodiments, the sound data in the target space can be used to determine whether there is anyone in the target space. For example, in step 102, when the sound data in the target space includes the sound generated by a person, it can be determined that there is someone in the target space; when the sound data in the target space does not include the sound generated by a person, it can be determined that there is no one in the target space.

[0036] Among them, the sound generated by a person can include at least one of the following: speech or footsteps.

[0037] In some embodiments, the sound data in the target space can also be used to determine the number of people in the target space. Taking the sound data in the target space including voices or footsteps as an example, voices or footsteps can be extracted from the obtained sound data in the target space; clustering analysis is performed on the extracted voices or footsteps, and the number of people in the target space is determined according to the clustering result. For example, if the extracted footsteps generate M clusters after clustering analysis, then there are M people in the target space. The specific methods for extracting voices or footsteps and clustering analysis can refer to related technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0038] In addition, the number of people in the target space can also be determined according to the set information input by the user. For example, taking the living space as an example, the user can set the number of permanent residents, and use this number as the number of people in the target space.

[0039] In some embodiments, in step 103, the current scene can be determined according to whether there are people in the target space, so that the air treatment device performs operations corresponding to the current scene. For different scenes, the operations of the air treatment device can be different. Thus, the control of the air treatment device can be carried out more reasonably and intelligently.

[0040] For example, when there are people in the target space, the air treatment device enters the first mode (for example, the leaving-home mode, where the meaning of "home" here includes the aforementioned living space or public space). In the leaving-home mode, when it is determined that all people in the target space have left, the air treatment device is turned off or the air treatment device operates in a preset manner to avoid wasting energy;

[0041] Also for example, when there are no people in the target space, the air treatment device enters the second mode (for example, the arriving-home mode, similar to the leaving-home mode, where the meaning of "home" here includes the living space or public space). In the arriving-home mode, when it is determined that someone enters the target space, the air treatment device can be turned on to avoid the air quality data in the target space not meeting the user's requirements due to the user forgetting to send a control instruction to the air treatment device; or when the person entering the target space is a suspicious person, operations such as prompting, alarming or warning can be performed, so as to play a security role and ensure the safety of the user.

[0042] The air treatment device in the embodiments of the present application can be various devices related to air treatment. For example, the air treatment device includes at least one of a temperature adjustment device, a air supply device, an exhaust device, a humidity adjustment device, and an air purification device.

[0043] An air handling device can adjust various air quality data of a target space. For example, the air quality data includes at least one of the following: air temperature, air humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration, inhalable particulate matter (PM10) concentration, volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) concentration, nitrogen oxide concentration, ozone concentration, etc.

[0044] In some embodiments, the temperature control device includes at least one of an indoor unit and a floor heating device.

[0045] In some embodiments, the indoor unit is an indoor unit in an air conditioning system, and the air conditioning system can be a commercial air conditioning system or a household air conditioning system.

[0046] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system can 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 can 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.

[0047] For example, the air conditioning system includes one outdoor unit and one indoor unit connected to the outdoor unit.

[0048] For example, the air conditioning system includes one outdoor unit and at least two indoor units connected to the outdoor unit.

[0049] 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.

[0050] 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 can include one refrigerant system or multiple refrigerant systems.

[0051] In some embodiments, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit can be air conditioning devices of various models, types, forms, and capacities. For example, the form of the indoor unit can be four-sided air outlet, two-sided air outlet, duct machine, floor air outlet, or skirting air outlet, etc.; the form of the outdoor unit can be single-fan top air outlet, double-fan top air outlet, single-fan front air outlet, or double-fan front air outlet, etc.

[0052] 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 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 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 separate or integrated.

[0053] In some embodiments, the air supply device includes at least one of a fresh air treatment device, a total heat exchange device (for example, having an internal circulation and an external circulation function, or having an external circulation function and not having an internal circulation function), and a ventilation device (for example, having an internal circulation and an external circulation function, or having an external circulation function and not having an internal circulation function).

[0054] In some embodiments, the exhaust device is used to suck the air in the indoor space so that the sucked air is discharged from the indoor space.

[0055] 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 arranged 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.

[0056] In some embodiments, the air purification device is used to adjust the concentration of the corresponding air components introduced into the indoor space. For example, reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOC), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), nitrogen oxides, ozone, other dust or impurities in the air, etc. by at least one. The air purification device can be set separately, or can also be integrated in the air supply device, temperature control device or humidity control device, etc.

[0057] Hereinafter, the control methods of the air treatment device in the leaving home mode and the returning home mode will be described separately.

[0058] (1) Taking the leaving home mode as an example:

[0059] In some embodiments, when it is determined that there are people in the target space according to the sound data in the target space, the number of people leaving the target space can be determined according to the sound data at the entrances and exits of the target space.

[0060] In some embodiments, the sound data of the entrance and exit of the target space includes footsteps. The number of people leaving the target space can be determined based on the footsteps.

[0061] For example, the footsteps of people leaving the target space can be extracted from the acquired sound data of the entrance and exit of the target space; clustering analysis is performed on the extracted footsteps, and the number of people leaving the target space is determined according to the clustering result. For example, if N clusters are generated after clustering analysis of the extracted footsteps, then N people have left the target space.

[0062] The footsteps can include various information, such as position (direction) information or volume information, etc. The footsteps of people leaving the target space can be extracted based on the position information or volume information of the footsteps. For example, if the position of the footsteps moves from indoors to outdoors, or the position of the footsteps moves from indoors to outdoors and the volume of the footsteps gradually decreases, then the footsteps are the footsteps of people leaving the target space. The specific method for determining the position information or volume information of the footsteps according to the sound data can refer to the related technology and will not be elaborated here. Moreover, this application is not limited thereto, and the footsteps of people leaving the target space can also be extracted according to other information.

[0063] In some embodiments, the sound data of the entrance and exit of the target space includes footsteps and the sound of closing the door. The number of people leaving the target space can be determined based on the footsteps and the sound of closing the door. By combining these two sounds, the accuracy of the judgment result can be improved.

[0064] For example, the sound data before the sound of closing the door can be selected from the acquired sound data of the entrance and exit of the target space, and the footsteps of people leaving the target space can be extracted from the selected sound data; clustering analysis is performed on the extracted footsteps, and the number of people leaving the target space is determined according to the clustering result. Thus, the accuracy of the number detection result can be improved and the amount of computation can be reduced.

[0065] In some embodiments, the sound data of the entrance and exit of the target space includes footsteps, the sound of closing the door, and the sound of opening the door. The number of people leaving the target space can be determined based on the footsteps, the sound of closing the door, and the sound of opening the door. By combining these three sounds, the accuracy of the judgment result can be further improved.

[0066] For example, the sound data after the sound of opening the door and before the sound of closing the door can be selected from the acquired sound data of the entrance and exit of the target space, and the footsteps of people leaving the target space can be extracted from the selected sound data; clustering analysis is performed on the extracted footsteps, and the number of people leaving the target space is determined according to the clustering result. Thus, the accuracy of the number detection result can be further improved and the amount of computation can be reduced.

[0067] In some embodiments, in step 103, when the number of people leaving the target space is the same as the number of people in the target space, the air handling device is turned off. Since the number of people leaving the target space is the same as the number of people in the target space, it indicates that all people have left the target space. In this case, automatically turning off the air handling device can avoid energy waste caused by users forgetting to turn off the air handling device when they leave the target space.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the number of people leaving the target space is the same as the number of people in the target space, the air handling device can be directly turned off. However, this application is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to determine again whether there is anyone in the target space based on the sound data in the target space.

[0069] For example, when the number of people leaving the target space is the same as the number of people in the target space, if it is determined that there is no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space within the first preset time, the air handling device is turned off. Thereby, misoperation can be avoided and the reliability of control can be improved.

[0070] The first preset time can be a period of time after it is determined that the number of people leaving the target space is the same as the number of people in the target space. For example, within 10 minutes after it is determined that the number of people leaving the target space is the same as the number of people in the target space, if no human voice or footsteps are detected in the sound data in the target space, the air handling device can be turned off.

[0071] In some embodiments, as described above, when the above conditions are met, the air handling device can be turned off. However, this application is not limited thereto. When the above conditions are met, the air handling device can also be operated in a preset manner.

[0072] For example, the preset manner can be an operation mode related to energy conservation. For example, when the user goes out briefly, the energy-saving mode can be turned on. Thereby, frequent start-stop of the air handling device can be avoided, which affects the service life. Or, the preset manner can be an operation mode related to pets, which can ensure the comfort and safety of the pets remaining in the target space.

[0073] In some embodiments, when the number of people leaving the target space is the same as the number of people in the target space, if it is determined that there is someone in the target space based on the sound data in the target space within the first preset time, the air handling device can continue to operate. Since there may be errors in the detection result of the number of people, even if it is determined that the number of people leaving the target space is the same as the number of people in the target space, but when it is determined that there is someone in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, the air handling device still continues to operate. Thereby, the reliability of control can be improved and the user experience can be guaranteed.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the number of people leaving the target space is inconsistent with the number of people in the target space, the air handling device can continue to operate. Since the number of people leaving the target space is inconsistent with the number of people in the target space, it indicates that there are still people in the target space. By keeping the air handling device running, the air quality data in the target space can be ensured.

[0075] Among them, during the process of the air handling device continuing to operate, the original operating mode or operating parameters can be maintained, or alternatively, the operating mode or operating parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to at least one of the number of people, personnel identity, personnel location, or personnel priority in the current target space.

[0076] For example, in the cooling mode, when the number of people in the target space decreases, the target temperature of the temperature control device can be appropriately increased to further improve the user experience and help save energy. For example, when the number of people in the target space is 5, the indoor unit operates in the cooling mode, and the target temperature is 25°C; when the number of people in the target space decreases from 5 to 1, the target temperature of the indoor unit can be increased from 25°C to 26°C.

[0077] Again, for example, in the heating mode, when the number of people in the target space decreases, the target temperature of the temperature control device can be appropriately decreased to further improve the user experience and help save energy. For example, when the number of people in the target space is 5, the indoor unit operates in the heating mode, and the target temperature is 22°C; when the number of people in the target space decreases from 5 to 1, the target temperature of the indoor unit can be decreased from 22°C to 20°C.

[0078] When the number of people in the target space decreases, the operating mode or operating parameters can be adjusted to the mode or parameters corresponding to the identity information of the remaining people (i.e., the people currently in the target space). The identity information can include at least one of information such as the identification, gender, or age of the people.

[0079] For example, when the identification of the person and the corresponding mode or parameters are pre-stored, the air handling device can be made to operate in that mode or parameters. Thus, the air quality data of the target space can be adjusted according to the preferences of the remaining people, further improving the comfort and user experience of the user.

[0080] Or, when the identification of the person is not pre-stored or the mode or parameters corresponding to the identification are not pre-stored, the corresponding mode or parameters can be determined according to the gender or age of the people, etc., to ensure the safety and comfort of the remaining people.

[0081] When the number of people in the target space decreases, the operation mode or operation parameters of the air handling device can be adjusted according to the positions of the remaining people in the target space. For example, in the case where the target space includes multiple areas, the air handling device in only the active areas of the remaining people can be turned on; or, the air direction or air volume of the air handling device can be adjusted according to the positions of the remaining people.

[0082] When the number of people in the target space decreases, the air handling device can be controlled according to the priorities of the remaining people. Thereby, the air handling device can be controlled according to the usage habits of the users with higher priorities among the remaining people. In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the method may further include:

[0083] Step 104: Prompt the closing operation or preset method of the air handling device through an application.

[0084] Thereby, the user can be made aware of the current operation of the air handling device, avoiding user confusion and improving the user experience. By prompting the user with this information through the application, it can be ensured that the user receives this information in a timely manner. The application can be a program running on a mobile terminal or the like.

[0085] Figure 2 is another schematic diagram of the control method of the air handling device according to the embodiments of the present application. The following combines Figure 2 Taking the leaving-home mode as an example, an exemplary description of the control method is given.

[0086] When it is determined that there is someone in the target space according to the sound data in the target space, the air handling device enters the leaving-home mode. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes:

[0087] Step 201: Determine whether the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space includes the sound of opening a door. If the determination is yes, execute Step 202; otherwise, return to Step 201;

[0088] Step 202: Determine the number of people leaving the target space according to the footsteps in the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space;

[0089] Step 203: Determine whether the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space includes the sound of closing a door. If the determination is yes, execute Step 204; otherwise, return to Step 201;

[0090] Step 204: Determine whether the number of people leaving the target space is the same as the number of people in the target space. If the determination is yes, execute Step 205; otherwise, execute Step 207;

[0091] Step 205: Determine whether there is no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space within the first preset time. If the determination result is yes, execute Step 206; otherwise, execute Step 207.

[0092] Step 206: The air handling device is turned off.

[0093] Step 207: The air handling device continues to operate.

[0094] (2) Taking the home mode as an example:

[0095] In some embodiments, it is possible to determine whether someone enters the target space based on the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space. For example, when it is determined that there is no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, if at least one of voice, footsteps, door opening sound, and window opening sound is detected in the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space, it can be determined that someone has entered the target space.

[0096] In some embodiments, in Step 103, when it is determined that there is no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, if it is determined that someone enters the target space based on the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space, an operation to turn on the air handling device can be performed. Thus, the air handling device can be automatically and timely turned on based on the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space, thereby avoiding the situation where the air quality data in the target space does not meet the user's requirements due to the user forgetting to send a control instruction to the air handling device.

[0097] In some embodiments, when it is determined that someone enters the target space based on the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space, the air handling device can be directly turned on. However, the present application is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to determine again whether there is someone in the target space and control the air handling device according to the determination result.

[0098] For example, when it is determined that there is no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, and it is determined that someone enters the target space based on the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space, and then it is determined that there is someone in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, an operation to turn on the air handling device is performed. Thus, misoperation can be avoided and the reliability of control can be improved.

[0099] Alternatively, when it is determined that someone enters the target space based on the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space, the air handling device can also be controlled according to whether the people entering the target space include preset people.

[0100] For example, when it is determined that there is no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, and it is determined that someone has entered the target space based on the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space, and the sound data in the target space includes the sound data of a preset person, an operation of turning on the air treatment device is performed. That is, when it is detected that someone has entered the target space and the person entering the target space includes a preset person (for example, a permanent resident), the air treatment device can be turned on. Thus, the reliability of control can be improved and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0101] The preset person can be a person set by the user. For example, the voice characteristics of the preset person can be stored in advance, and based on the pre-stored voice characteristics and the voice characteristics of the sound data in the target space, it is determined whether the sound data in the target space includes the sound data of the preset person. Among them, the voice characteristics of the sound data can be voiceprint characteristics, etc.

[0102] In some embodiments, when turning on the air treatment device, at least one of the operation parameters and operation modes of the air treatment device can be determined according to at least one of the identity information, location information, quantity, or priority of the person entering the target space. Thus, the air treatment device can be controlled more reasonably according to the actual situation, and the user experience can be further improved.

[0103] For example, when the identity information of the preset person and the corresponding operation parameters or operation modes are stored in advance, the air treatment device can be made to operate according to the pre-stored operation parameters and operation modes, so that the air treatment device can operate in the manner expected by the preset person.

[0104] Or, when the mode or parameters corresponding to the identity information of the preset person are not stored in advance, the corresponding mode or parameters can be set according to the gender or age of the person entering the target space, etc., to ensure the safety and comfort of the person entering the target space. For example, when the people entering the target space include the elderly or children, the air treatment device can be made to operate in the elderly mode or children mode preferentially.

[0105] For another example, the processing device can be controlled according to the location information of the person entering the target space. For example, when the target space includes multiple areas, only the air treatment device in the area where the person is active can be turned on; or, the wind direction or air volume of the air treatment device can be adjusted according to the location of the person.

[0106] For another example, in the cooling mode, when the number of people entering the target space is less than the first quantity, the target temperature of the temperature control device can be appropriately increased; or, when the number of people entering the target space is greater than the second quantity, the target temperature of the temperature control device can be appropriately decreased, where the second quantity is greater than or equal to the first quantity. Thus, the user experience can be further improved and energy consumption can be reduced.

[0107] For another example, in the heating mode, when the number of people entering the target space is less than the first quantity, the target temperature of the temperature control device can be appropriately reduced; or, when the number of people entering the target space is greater than the second quantity, the target temperature of the temperature control device can be appropriately increased, where the second quantity is greater than or equal to the first quantity. Thus, the user experience can be further improved and energy consumption can be reduced.

[0108] For another example, the air handling device can be controlled according to the priority of the people entering the target space. Thus, the air handling device can be controlled according to the usage habits of users with higher priorities.

[0109] Among them, the priority of people can be determined in various ways. For example, the priority of the aforementioned preset people (such as permanent residents) is higher than that of non-preset people; the priority of children or the elderly is higher than that of other people, that is, the priority of people whose age is less than the first value or greater than the second value is higher than that of people whose age is greater than or equal to the first value and less than or equal to the second value, and the first value is less than the second value; and so on.

[0110] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the method may further include:

[0111] Step 105: Prompt the opening operation of the air handling device through at least one of an application, a centralized controller, a remote controller, or a smart device.

[0112] Thus, the user can be made aware of the opening operation, avoiding confusion for the user and improving the user experience.

[0113] In some embodiments, the smart device may include at least one of a smart speaker, a smart TV, a smart screen, etc.

[0114] In some embodiments, when it is determined that there is no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, if it is determined that someone has entered the target space based on the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space, and then, when it is determined that there is still no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, safety information is prompted. That is, when it is detected that someone has entered the target space but the person entering the target space does not make a sound, then the possibility that the person entering the target space is a suspicious person (such as a thief, etc.) is high. By prompting the user with safety information, a security function can be achieved to ensure the safety of the user.

[0115] In some embodiments, when it is determined that there is no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, if it is determined that someone has entered the target space based on the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space, and the sound data in the target space does not include the sound data of a preset person, then security information is prompted. That is, when it is detected that someone has entered the target space and the person entering the target space does not include a preset person (for example, a permanent resident), it is determined that the person entering the target space is a suspicious person. By prompting security information to the user, it can play a security role and ensure the safety of the user.

[0116] In some embodiments, as described above, when the above conditions are met, security information can be prompted. However, the present application is not limited to this. When the above conditions are met, operations such as alarm or warning can also be performed.

[0117] For example, prompt security information to the user through an application; send alarm information to a security agency, etc. through a communication network; play warning information through a voice device in the target space, etc.

[0118] Figure 3 It is another schematic diagram of the control method of the air handling device according to the embodiments of the present application. The following will be combined with Figure 3 Taking the home mode and the security mode as examples, the control method will be exemplarily described.

[0119] When it is determined that there is no one in the target space based on the sound data in the target space, the air handling device enters the home mode and the security mode. As Figure 3 shown, the method includes:

[0120] Step 301: Determine whether the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space includes the sound of opening the door. If the determination is yes, execute Step 302; otherwise, return to Step 301;

[0121] Step 302: Determine whether the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space includes the sound of closing the door. If the determination is yes, execute Step 303; otherwise, return to Step 301;

[0122] Step 303: Determine whether it is determined that there is someone in the target space based on the sound data in the target space. If the determination is yes, execute Step 304; otherwise, execute Step 306;

[0123] Step 304: Determine whether the sound data in the target space includes the sound data of a preset person. If the determination is yes, execute Step 305; otherwise, execute Step 306;

[0124] Step 305: Turn on the air handling device;

[0125] Step 306: Prompt security information.

[0126] Figure 4 It is another schematic diagram of the control method of the air treatment device according to an embodiment of the present application. The following will combine Figure 4 to give an exemplary description of the control method.

[0127] As Figure 4 shown, the method includes:

[0128] Step 401: Determine the number of people in the target space according to the footsteps in the sound data in the target space;

[0129] Thus, the number of permanent residents in the target space or the number of people in the current target space can be determined.

[0130] Step 402: Determine whether there is someone in the target space according to the sound data in the target space. If the determination result is yes, execute Step 403; otherwise, execute Step 410;

[0131] Among them, Steps 403 to 409 are similar to Figure 2 Steps 201 to 207 therein. The difference is that in Step 405, if it is determined that the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space does not include the sound of closing the door, return to Step 402, that is, exit the leaving-home mode and re-determine whether there is someone in the target space.

[0132] Among them, Steps 410 to 415 are similar to Figure 3 Steps 301 to 306 therein. The difference is that in Step 411, if it is determined that the sound data at the entrance and exit of the target space does not include the sound of closing the door, return to Step 402, that is, exit the going-home mode and the security mode and re-determine whether there is someone in the target space.
