[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of smart home appliances, for example, to a method and device for controlling an air conditioner, an air conditioner, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Currently, with the development of smart home appliance technology, more and more household electronic devices can implement voice control functions. When a user uses the voice control function to control a household electronic device, the user can control the electronic device to perform related actions through a voice command. For example, the user can make the water heater automatically turn on the heating function by saying the voice command "turn on the water heater". However, each electronic device has a problem of false wake-up, which affects the accuracy of voice recognition. Moreover, after a false wake-up occurs, especially during night rest, the false wake-up voice will cause great interference to the user, affecting the user experience.

[0003] The related art discloses a method for processing false wake-up of voice, including: obtaining voice information, determining whether the electronic device has enabled the do-not-disturb mode. If it is determined that the do-not-disturb mode has been enabled, the voice information is analyzed and processed according to a preset processing rule to determine whether it is an active wake-up operation by the user, obtaining an analysis result, and controlling the operation of the electronic device according to the analysis result, improving the accuracy of voice recognition, reducing the interference caused by false wake-up voices to the user, and improving the user experience.

[0005] To a certain extent, the related art reduces the interference caused by false voice triggers of the air conditioner in the do-not-disturb mode and improves the user experience. However, in the actual application process, the needs of users are diverse. Some users hope to be able to have voice interaction in a timely manner to control the air conditioner when the do-not-disturb mode takes effect, while some users hope to have no voice interaction at all in the do-not-disturb mode to rest better, etc. The control of the do-not-disturb mode in the related art is relatively single and cannot meet the increasing control requirements of users for the do-not-disturb mode of the air conditioner, lacking flexibility.

[0037] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, an intelligent household appliance device refers to a household appliance product formed by introducing a microprocessor, sensor technology, and network communication technology into a household appliance device, which has the characteristics of intelligent control, intelligent perception, and intelligent application. The operation process of an intelligent household appliance device often depends on the application and processing of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things, the Internet, and electronic chips. For example, an intelligent household appliance device can be connected to an electronic device to realize remote control and management of the intelligent household appliance device by a user.

[0038] In the disclosed embodiments, the terminal device refers to an electronic device with wireless connection function. The terminal device can communicate with the intelligent home appliance device as described above by connecting to the Internet, or can directly communicate with the intelligent home appliance device as described above through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. In some embodiments, the terminal device is, for example, a mobile device, a computer, or an in-vehicle device built in a hover car, etc., or any combination thereof. The mobile device can include, for example, a mobile phone, a smart home device, a wearable device, a smart mobile device, a virtual reality device, etc., or any combination thereof. Among them, the wearable device includes, for example: a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, etc.

[0039] Currently, with the development of smart home appliance technology, more and more household electronic devices can implement voice control functions. When a user uses the voice control function to control a household electronic device, the user can control the electronic device to perform related actions through a voice command. For example, the water heater can be automatically turned on for heating by the voice command "turn on the water heater". However, each electronic device has a problem of false wake-up, which affects the accuracy of voice recognition. Moreover, after a false wake-up occurs, especially at night during rest, the false wake-up voice will cause greater interference to the user, affecting the user experience. The related technology discloses a method for processing false voice wake-up, including: obtaining voice information, determining whether the electronic device has enabled the do-not-disturb mode. If it is determined that the do-not-disturb mode has been enabled, the voice information is analyzed and processed according to a preset processing rule to determine whether it is a user's active wake-up operation, and an analysis result is obtained. The electronic device is controlled to act according to the analysis result, which improves the accuracy of voice recognition, reduces the interference caused by false wake-up voices to the user, and improves the user experience. The related technology reduces the interference caused by false voice triggering of the air conditioner to a certain extent under the do-not-disturb mode and improves the user experience. However, in the actual application process, the needs of users are diverse. Some users hope to be able to perform voice interaction in a timely manner to control the air conditioner when the do-not-disturb mode takes effect, while some users hope to have no voice interaction at all during the do-not-disturb mode to rest better, etc. The do-not-disturb mode control of the related technology is relatively single and cannot meet the increasing control requirements of users for the do-not-disturb mode of the air conditioner, and is not flexible enough.

[0040] The disclosed embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an air conditioner, including a blower, a voice module, a communication module, and a processor. The voice module is used to receive and send voice information. The communication module is connected to the voice module and is used to upload the received wake-up information to the cloud server, so as to analyze and process the wake-up information. The processor is electrically connected to the above-mentioned electrical components and is used to control the above-mentioned electrical components to act.

[0041] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the disclosed embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0042] S01. When the Do Not Disturb mode is in effect, the processor determines the currently active sub - mode.

[0043] S02. When the sub - mode is the Insensitive mode, the processor verifies the wake - up information locally and in the cloud to determine whether to enable normal voice interaction.

[0044] S03. When the sub - mode is the Do Not Disturb mode, the processor enables silent voice interaction.

[0045] Among them, enabling normal voice interaction means performing voice interaction at the volume set last before entering the Do Not Disturb mode. After the processor enables normal voice interaction, it starts timing. If there is no interaction within the third time period, the normal voice interaction is turned off.

[0046] Among them, the effective time of the Do Not Disturb mode is the same as the time set by the user. Otherwise, it is the default effective time, and the default effective time can be any time period. For example, it can be from 23:00 at night to 7:00 the next day or from 23:00 at night to 8:00 the next day, etc. Also, the effective times of the Do Not Disturb mode and the Insensitive mode can be customized to be extended or shortened.

[0047] Using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the Do Not Disturb mode is in effect, the currently active sub - mode is determined. When the sub - mode is the Insensitive mode, the wake - up information is verified locally and in the cloud to determine whether to enable normal voice interaction, which not only reduces the sensitivity of air - conditioner wake - up and reduces air - conditioner voice interference, but also can respond to the user's wake - up of the air conditioner for timely voice interaction, facilitating the user to control the air conditioner. When the sub - mode is the Do Not Disturb mode, silent voice interaction is enabled, so that even if the user wakes up the air conditioner, no sound will be emitted, meeting the user's demand for silent control. By setting the Insensitive mode and the Do Not Disturb mode, the increasing control requirements of the user for the Do Not Disturb mode of the air conditioner are met, improving the user experience.

[0048] Combined with Figure 2 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0049] S01. When the Do Not Disturb mode is in effect, the processor determines the currently active sub - mode.

[0050] S21. When the sub - mode is the Insensitive mode, the processor receives the wake - up information.

[0051] S22. When the wake - up information is received, the processor starts timing.

[0052] S23. When no wake - up information is received again within the first time period, the processor keeps the normal voice interaction closed.

[0053] S24. When a wake-up message is received again within the first duration, the processor uploads the wake-up message to the cloud for verification to determine whether to enable normal voice interaction.

[0054] S03. When the sub-mode is the do-not-disturb mode, the processor enables silent voice interaction.

[0055] The first duration can be any duration, for example, 9 seconds, 10 seconds, 11 seconds, etc. Specifically, the first duration corresponding to the parameter associated with the do-not-disturb mode can be determined according to the preset corresponding relationship stored locally or in the cloud. The parameters associated with the do-not-disturb mode include the user's physical health information, the user's sleep data, and / or the historical data of the first duration, etc.

[0056] Using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the sub-mode is the insensitive mode, the processor receives a wake-up message. When the wake-up message is received, the processor starts timing. When no wake-up message is received again within the first duration, it indicates that the user did not actively wake up, but was interfered by other sounds, and the processor keeps the normal voice interaction closed. When a wake-up message is received again within the first duration, it indicates that it may be the user who actively wakes up, and the processor uploads the wake-up message to the cloud for secondary verification to further determine whether to enable normal voice interaction. Through the dual verification of the wake-up message locally and in the cloud, the sensitivity of the air conditioner to be woken up is reduced, and the insensitivity of the air conditioner wake-up is improved, so that this mode can balance the user's do-not-disturb needs and control needs.

[0057] Combined with Figure 3 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0058] S01. When the do-not-disturb mode takes effect, the processor determines the currently effective sub-mode.

[0059] S21. When the sub-mode is the insensitive mode, the processor receives a wake-up message.

[0060] S22. When the wake-up message is received, the processor starts timing.

[0061] S23. When no wake-up message is received again within the first duration, the processor keeps the normal voice interaction closed.

[0062] S31. When a wake-up message is received again within the first duration, the processor uploads the wake-up message to the cloud and starts timing.

[0063] S32. When the verification result received from the cloud within the second duration is a non-wake-up event or no verification result is received from the cloud, the processor keeps the normal voice interaction closed.

[0064] S33. When the verification result received from the cloud within the second duration is a wake-up event, the processor enables normal voice interaction.

[0065] S03. When the sub-mode is the do-not-disturb mode, the processor enables muted voice interaction.

[0066] Among them, the second duration can be any duration, for example, 500 milliseconds, 501 milliseconds, 502 milliseconds, etc. Specifically, the first duration corresponding to the parameter associated with the communication speed can be determined according to the preset corresponding relationship stored locally or in the cloud. The parameter associated with the communication speed includes network latency, the complexity and efficiency of the voice analysis algorithm, and / or the cloud server load, etc.

[0067] When using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, if a wake-up message is received again within the first duration, it indicates that it may be a user-initiated wake-up. The processor uploads the wake-up message to the cloud for secondary verification, and further determines whether to enable normal voice interaction. The processor uploads the wake-up message to the cloud and starts timing. When the verification result received from the cloud within the second duration is a non-wake-up event or no verification result is received from the cloud, at this time, the processor determines that the wake-up message is a non-wake-up event. Therefore, the processor keeps normal voice interaction closed. When the verification result received from the cloud within the second duration is a wake-up event, at this time, the processor determines that the user has a need to control the air conditioner. Therefore, the processor enables normal voice interaction.

[0068] Optionally, when the processor uploads the wake-up message to the cloud for verification to determine whether to enable normal voice interaction, it further includes: when the verification result received from the cloud within the second duration is a wake-up event or no verification result is received from the cloud, the processor starts timing; when no new wake-up message is received within the third duration, the processor keeps the cloud verification enabled; when a new wake-up message is received within the third duration, the processor closes the cloud verification.

[0069] Among them, the third duration can be any duration, such as 1 min, 1.1 min, or 1.2 min, etc.

[0070] In this way, when the verification result received from the cloud within the second duration is a wake-up event or no verification result is received from the cloud, the processor starts timing. When no new wake-up message is received within the third duration, it indicates that after the user wakes up the air conditioner, there is no need to control the air conditioner. Therefore, in order to be able to normally judge the wake-up message next time, the processor keeps the cloud verification enabled. When a new wake-up message is received within the third duration, at this time, it indicates that the user needs to control the air conditioner. Therefore, the processor closes the cloud verification to avoid too long control response time, resulting in untimely interaction.

[0071] Optionally, after the processor uploads the wake-up information to the cloud, it further includes: the cloud calls a set number of wake-up models to respectively verify the wake-up information; the cloud determines the verification result of the cloud according to the verification results of the wake-up models; the cloud sends the verification result of the cloud to the local.

[0072] In this way, by verifying the wake-up information respectively through one or more wake-up models, the situation of accidentally triggering voice broadcast during non-wake-up time can be further avoided. For example, when there is a single wake-up model, the verification result of the wake-up model is the verification result fed back by the cloud to the local; when there are two wake-up models, if the verification results of both wake-up models are wake-up events, the fed-back verification result is a wake-up event; if the verification result of one wake-up model is a non-wake-up event and the other is a wake-up event, the cloud feedback is a non-wake-up event; if both are non-wake-up events, the cloud feedback is a non-wake-up event; if one has an error, the verification result of the other wake-up model is taken as the standard; if both have errors, the feedback is a wake-up event, etc.

[0073] Combined Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0074] S01, when the do-not-disturb mode takes effect, the processor determines the currently effective sub-mode.

[0075] S02, when the sub-mode is the insensitive mode, the processor verifies the wake-up information through the local and the cloud to determine whether to enable normal voice interaction.

[0076] S41, when the sub-mode is the do-not-disturb mode, the processor reduces the voice volume to a set volume, and / or reduces the rotation speed of the blower to a set wind speed, and / or adjusts the temperature to a set temperature, and / or adjusts the humidity to a set humidity.

[0077] Wherein, the set volume is a preset silent volume, and the silent volume can be any volume value, for example, 0, 1 or 2, etc. The set wind speed can be a preset silent wind speed, and the silent wind speed can be any wind speed value, for example, 0, 10 or 20, etc.

[0078] Among them, the set temperature can be any temperature value, for example, 25°C, 26°C, or 27°C, etc. The processor determines the set temperature according to the following method: The processor obtains the indoor ambient temperature and determines the set temperature based on the indoor ambient temperature. Specifically, when the indoor ambient temperature reaches the target temperature set by the user, the target temperature is determined as the set temperature; when the indoor ambient temperature does not reach the target temperature set by the user, the preset comfortable temperature range is obtained; when the indoor ambient temperature is within the preset temperature range, the indoor ambient temperature is determined as the set temperature; when the indoor ambient temperature is outside the preset temperature range, the temperature closest to the indoor ambient temperature within the comfortable temperature range is determined as the set temperature. The preset comfortable temperature range can be determined by user settings, can also be determined by introducing expert knowledge from the cloud server, or can also be determined by obtaining the local default comfortable temperature range. In this way, by judging whether the indoor ambient temperature reaches the target temperature and whether the indoor ambient temperature is within the preset temperature range, it is determined whether to change the indoor ambient temperature to the set temperature, which can take into account the user's temperature requirements. And, taking the target temperature and the temperature closest to the indoor ambient temperature within the comfortable temperature range as the target temperature can, on the basis of taking into account the user's temperature requirements, maximize the avoidance of further cooling or heating operation of the air conditioner, thereby reducing the air conditioner operation noise.

[0079] Among them, the set humidity can be any humidity value, for example, 51%, 52%, or 53%, etc. The processor determines the set humidity according to the following method: The processor obtains the indoor ambient humidity and determines the set humidity based on the indoor ambient humidity. Specifically, when the indoor ambient humidity reaches the target humidity set by the user, the target humidity is determined as the set humidity; when the indoor ambient humidity does not reach the target humidity set by the user, the preset comfortable humidity range is obtained; when the indoor ambient humidity is within the preset humidity range, the indoor ambient humidity is determined as the set humidity; when the indoor ambient humidity is outside the preset humidity range, the humidity closest to the indoor ambient humidity within the comfortable humidity range is determined as the set humidity. The preset comfortable humidity range can be determined by user settings, can also be determined by introducing expert knowledge from the cloud server, or can also be determined by obtaining the local default comfortable humidity range. In this way, by judging whether the indoor ambient humidity reaches the target humidity and whether the indoor ambient humidity is within the preset humidity range, it is determined whether to change the indoor ambient humidity to the set humidity, which can take into account the user's humidity requirements. And, taking the target humidity and the humidity closest to the indoor ambient humidity within the comfortable humidity range as the target humidity can, on the basis of taking into account the user's humidity requirements, maximize the avoidance of further dehumidification or humidification operation of the air conditioner, thereby reducing the air conditioner operation noise.

[0080] When the sub - mode is the do - not - disturb mode and the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is adopted, in order to avoid disturbing the user, the processor reduces the voice volume to a set volume, and / or reduces the rotational speed of the blower to a set wind speed, and / or adjusts the temperature to a set temperature, and / or adjusts the humidity to a set humidity. By reducing the rotational speed of the blower and reducing the voice volume to the silent volume, the operating noise of the air conditioner itself can be reduced. By adjusting the indoor temperature to the set temperature and the indoor humidity to the set humidity, it is possible to avoid the air conditioner from further performing cooling or heating operations to the greatest extent, thereby further reducing the operating noise of the air conditioner from the dimension of environmental parameters. Interference with the user is avoided from two dimensions: the operating parameters of the air conditioner itself and the environmental parameters.

[0081] Optionally, when the sub - mode is the do - not - disturb mode, it further includes: the processor receives a control instruction; when the control instruction is to turn off the do - not - disturb mode, the processor restores the voice volume to the volume set last time; when the control instruction is to switch to the insensitive mode, the processor restores the volume to the volume set last time and turns on the insensitive mode.

[0082] In this way, when the sub - mode is the do - not - disturb mode, it indicates that the user needs silence. The processor receives a control instruction. When the control instruction is to turn off the do - not - disturb mode, it indicates that the user wants to end the do - not - disturb mode in advance. Therefore, the processor restores the voice volume to the volume set last time to perform normal voice interaction. When the control instruction is to switch to the insensitive mode, it means that the user wants a certain degree of do - not - disturb and also hopes to continue to interact with the air conditioner by voice to control the air conditioner during the do - not - disturb mode. Therefore, the processor restores the volume to the volume set last time and turns on the insensitive mode to meet the user's needs.
