[0024] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the machine-readable storage medium according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] This embodiment first provides a control method of an air conditioner, which can automatically adjust the fresh air speed of the air conditioner according to the actual situation, improve the intelligence level of the air conditioner, save the time and energy of users, and enhance the user experience. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the control method of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. AsFigure 1 As shown, the control method of the air conditioner may include the following steps:

[0026] Step S102, receiving a trigger signal for turning on the fresh air mode of the air conditioner;

[0027] Step S104, using the WiFi signal to detect the human activity information and breathing frequency of all users in the indoor environment;

[0028] Step S106, determining the fresh air speed of the air conditioner according to the human activity information and breathing frequency;

[0029] Step S108, controlling the air conditioner to operate at the determined fresh air speed.

[0030] In the above steps, step S102 receiving the trigger signal for turning on the fresh air mode of the air conditioner may specifically include: receiving the trigger signal sent by the display device, voice device, remote control of the air conditioner, or the mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner. The mobile terminal may be a portable intelligent device, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.

[0031] Step S104 uses the WiFi signal to detect the human activity information and breathing frequency of all users in the indoor environment. In a specific embodiment, the human activity information and breathing frequency can be detected by checking the Channel State Information (CSI) of the WiFi signal. Specifically, by checking the CSI signal, the signal changes caused by human breathing can be monitored. In addition, when a person moves in the area covered by the WiFi signal, the signal will come into contact with the person and change, and can even be reflected to other people. Therefore, this phenomenon can be used to monitor the human activity information through the WiFi signal. Monitoring the human activity information can mainly determine the specific number of users in the indoor environment.

[0032] Step S106 determines the fresh air speed of the air conditioner according to the human activity information and breathing frequency. Specifically, the weighted breathing frequency can be determined according to the human activity information and breathing frequency, and the fresh air speed can be determined according to the weighted breathing frequency. Automatically determining the fresh air speed of the air conditioner through the human activity information and breathing frequency detected by the WiFi signal for subsequent adjustment of the air conditioner effectively saves the time and effort of manual operation and setting by the user, and greatly improves the intelligent level of the air conditioner.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, determining the weighted breathing frequency based on human activity information and breathing frequency may specifically include: determining the number of users in different age groups and the average breathing frequency of each age group according to the breathing frequency, and then obtaining the weighted breathing frequency. Specifically, there are significant differences in the breathing frequencies of users in different age groups. The age group of the user can be accurately determined through the detected breathing frequency, and then the number of users in different age groups can be determined.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the age groups may include three: children, young and middle-aged people, and the elderly. And, users with breathing frequencies from the first frequency to the second frequency can be classified as young and middle-aged people, users with breathing frequencies from the second frequency to the third frequency can be classified as the elderly, and users with breathing frequencies from the third frequency to the fourth frequency can be classified as children. Generally, the breathing frequency gradually decreases with age. However, due to the changes in physiological functions during the aging process, the breathing frequency of the elderly usually increases slightly. Therefore, the first frequency, the second frequency, the third frequency, and the fourth frequency increase in sequence.

[0035] After determining the number of users in different age groups and the average breathing frequency of each age group according to the breathing frequency, the formula can be used to calculate the weighted breathing frequency. And determining the fresh air speed of the air conditioner based on the weighted breathing frequency may include: querying a preset information table to obtain the fresh air speed corresponding to the weighted breathing frequency, where the information table pre-stores the fresh air speeds corresponding to different weighted breathing frequencies, and the weighted breathing frequency is positively correlated with the fresh air speed.

[0036] That is to say, the greater the weighted breathing frequency, the higher the fresh air speed; the smaller the weighted breathing frequency, the lower the fresh air speed. This is because the greater the weighted breathing frequency, it indicates that the users in the indoor environment need more fresh oxygen. Therefore, the higher the fresh air speed, which can introduce a large amount of fresh oxygen into the indoor environment to meet the ventilation needs of the users.

[0037] After determining the fresh air speed of the air conditioner based on human activity information and breathing frequency in step S106, step S108 can be executed to control the air conditioner to operate at the determined fresh air speed. Specifically, the fresh air speed can be adjusted by adjusting the fan speed of the air conditioner. The faster the fan speed, the higher the fresh air speed; the slower the fan speed, the lower the fresh air speed.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the fresh air speeds of the air conditioner may include: high speed, medium speed, and low speed. Then, when it is determined that the fresh air speed of the air conditioner is high speed, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at high speed. When it is determined that the fresh air speed of the air conditioner is medium speed, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at medium speed. When it is determined that the fresh air speed of the air conditioner is low speed, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at low speed. By making the air conditioner operate at the determined fresh air speed, it can fully ensure that the fresh air speed of the air conditioner conforms to the current actual situation and meets the user's usage requirements.

[0039] In summary, the control method of the air conditioner in this embodiment, by receiving the trigger signal for turning on the fresh air mode of the air conditioner, detecting the human activity information and breathing frequency of all users in the indoor environment using the WiFi signal, determining the fresh air speed of the air conditioner according to the human activity information and breathing frequency, and controlling the air conditioner to operate at the determined fresh air speed, can automatically adjust the fresh air speed of the air conditioner according to the actual situation, improve the intelligent level of the air conditioner, save the user's time and energy, and enhance the user's usage experience.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, higher technical effects can be achieved for the air conditioner by further optimizing and configuring the above steps. The following details the control method of the air conditioner in this embodiment in combination with the introduction of an alternative execution process of this embodiment. This embodiment is only an example of the execution process. In specific implementation, the execution order and operating conditions of some steps can be modified according to specific implementation requirements. Figure 2 It is a detailed flowchart of the control method of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control method of the air conditioner includes the following steps:

[0041] Step S202: Receive the trigger signal for turning on the fresh air mode of the air conditioner;

[0042] Step S204: Detect the human activity information and breathing frequency by checking the channel status information of the WiFi signal;

[0043] Step S206: Determine the number of users in different age groups and the average breathing frequency of each age group according to the breathing frequency;

[0044] Step S208: Use the formula to calculate the weighted breathing frequency;

[0045] Step S210: Query the preset information table to obtain the fresh air speed corresponding to the weighted breathing frequency;

[0046] Step S212: Control the air conditioner to operate at the determined fresh air speed.

[0047] In the above steps, the specific manner in which step S202 receives the trigger signal for turning on the fresh air mode of the air conditioner may include: receiving the trigger signal sent by the display device, voice device, remote control of the air conditioner, or the mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner. The mobile terminal may be a portable intelligent device, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.

[0048] In step S204, the human activity information and respiratory rate are detected by checking the channel state information of the WiFi signal. Specifically, by checking the CSI signal, the signal changes caused by human respiration can be monitored. In addition, when a person moves within the area covered by the WiFi signal, the signal will come into contact with the person and change, and can even be reflected to other people. Therefore, this phenomenon can be utilized to monitor the human activity information through the WiFi signal. Monitoring the human activity information can mainly determine the specific number of users in the indoor environment.

[0049] In step S206, the number of users in different age groups and the average respiratory rate of each age group are determined according to the respiratory rate. Specifically, there are significant differences in the respiratory rates of users in different age groups. By detecting the respiratory rate, the age group of the user can be accurately determined, and then the number of users in different age groups can be determined. In a preferred embodiment, the age groups may include three: children, young and middle-aged people, and the elderly. And, users with a respiratory rate from the first frequency to the second frequency can be classified as young and middle-aged people, users with a respiratory rate from the second frequency to the third frequency can be classified as the elderly, and users with a respiratory rate from the third frequency to the fourth frequency can be classified as children.

[0050] Generally, the respiratory rate gradually decreases with age. However, due to the changes in physiological functions during the aging process, the respiratory rate of the elderly usually increases slightly. Therefore, the first frequency, the second frequency, the third frequency, and the fourth frequency increase in sequence. For example, the first frequency, the second frequency, the third frequency, and the fourth frequency may be 12 times / minute, 16 times / minute, 20 times / minute, and 40 times / minute respectively.

[0051] The following introduces several specific embodiments: If the respiratory rates of all users in the indoor environment are detected to be 13 times / minute, 15 times / minute, and 30 times / minute respectively, then it can be determined that there are 2 young and middle-aged people and 1 child. If the respiratory rates of all users in the indoor environment are detected to be 18 times / minute and 35 times / minute respectively, then it can be determined that there is 1 elderly person and 1 child. If the respiratory rates of all users in the indoor environment are detected to be 14 times / minute, 15 times / minute, 19 times / minute, and 25 times / minute respectively, then it can be determined that there are 2 young and middle-aged people, 1 elderly person, and 1 child.

[0052] As for the average breathing frequency of each age group, the average breathing frequency of each age group can be calculated based on the values of the above-mentioned first frequency, second frequency, third frequency, and fourth frequency. For example, the average breathing frequency of young and middle-aged people can be the average value between the first frequency and the second frequency, that is, 14 times per minute; the average breathing frequency of the elderly can be the average value between the second frequency and the third frequency, that is, 18 times per minute; the average breathing frequency of children can be the average value between the third frequency and the fourth frequency, that is, 30 times per minute.

[0053] Alternatively, the average breathing frequency of each age group can also be calculated based on the actual breathing frequency of the user obtained through actual detection. For example, there are 2 young and middle-aged people, and their breathing frequencies are 13 times per minute and 15 times per minute respectively. Then the average breathing frequency of young and middle-aged people can be (13 + 15) / 2, that is, 14 times per minute. Another example, there are 3 children, and their breathing frequencies are 30 times per minute, 35 times per minute, and 25 times per minute respectively. Then the average breathing frequency of young and middle-aged people can be (30 + 35 + 25) / 3, that is, 30 times per minute. Another example, there are 2 elderly people, and their breathing frequencies are 18 times per minute and 19 times per minute respectively. Then the average breathing frequency of young and middle-aged people can be (18 + 19) / 2, that is, 18.5 times per minute.

[0054] After determining the number of users in different age groups and the average breathing frequency of each age group according to the breathing frequency in step S206, step S208 can be executed to calculate the weighted breathing frequency using the formula where H is the weighted breathing frequency, X1 is the number of children, H1 is the average breathing frequency of children; X2 is the number of the elderly, H2 is the average breathing frequency of the elderly; X3 is the number of young and middle-aged people, H3 is the average breathing frequency of young and middle-aged people.

[0055] The following introduces a specific embodiment: The detected breathing frequencies of all users in the indoor environment are 14 times per minute, 15 times per minute, 19 times per minute, and 25 times per minute respectively. It is determined that there are 2 young and middle-aged people, 1 elderly person, and 1 child. That is, X1 is 1, X2 is 1, X3 is 2. The average breathing frequency of each age group can be calculated based on the actual breathing frequency of the user obtained through actual detection, that is, H1 is 25, H2 is 19, and H3 is (14 + 15) / 2 = 14.5. Substitute the specific values of the above parameters into the formula Then the weighted breathing frequency H can be obtained as 5.85.

[0056] The following introduces another specific embodiment: The breathing frequencies of all users in the indoor environment are detected to be 13 times per minute, 17 times per minute, 18 times per minute, 22 times per minute, and 26 times per minute respectively. It is determined that there is 1 young and middle-aged person, 2 elderly people, and 2 children. That is, X1 is 2, X2 is 2, and X3 is 1. The average breathing frequencies of each age group can be calculated based on the values of the first frequency, second frequency, third frequency, and fourth frequency. That is, H1 is 30, H2 is 18, and H3 is 14. Substitute the specific values of the above parameters into the formula That is, the weighted breathing frequency H can be obtained as 8.24.

[0057] It should be noted that the coefficients in front of the number of children X1 and the number of elderly people X2 in the formula are both 0.4, and the coefficient in front of the number of young and middle-aged people X3 is 0.2. This means that when calculating the weighted breathing frequency, more attention is paid to the situation of children and the elderly. That is, for the children and the elderly who need more care and consideration, the weighted breathing frequency and the subsequent fresh air speed are determined, so that the fresh air speed of the air conditioner takes into account everyone in the indoor environment while paying more attention to the needs of children and the elderly in the indoor environment. In some other embodiments, the coefficients 0.4, 0.4, and 0.2 in front of X1, X2, and X3 in the formula can also be modified to other values according to the actual situation, such as making the modification closer, or appropriately increasing the coefficient in front of the group that pays more attention to comfort.

[0058] Step S210 queries the preset information table to obtain the fresh air speed corresponding to the weighted breathing frequency. The information table pre-stores the fresh air speeds corresponding to different weighted breathing frequencies, and the weighted breathing frequency is positively correlated with the fresh air speed. That is to say, the greater the weighted breathing frequency, the higher the fresh air speed; the smaller the weighted breathing frequency, the lower the fresh air speed. This is because the greater the weighted breathing frequency, the more fresh oxygen the users in the indoor environment need. Therefore, the higher the fresh air speed, the more fresh oxygen can be introduced into the indoor environment to meet the ventilation needs of the users.

[0059] Step S212 controls the air conditioner to operate at the determined fresh air speed. That is to say, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at the fresh air speed corresponding to the weighted breathing frequency obtained in step S210. In a specific embodiment, the fresh air speed of the air conditioner can include: high wind speed, medium wind speed, and low wind speed. Then, when it is determined that the fresh air speed of the air conditioner is high wind speed, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at high wind speed. When it is determined that the fresh air speed of the air conditioner is medium wind speed, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at medium wind speed. When it is determined that the fresh air speed of the air conditioner is low wind speed, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate at low wind speed.

[0060] By checking the channel status information of the WiFi signal to detect human activity information and breathing frequency, the number of users in different age groups and the average breathing frequency of each age group can be automatically determined, and then the weighted breathing frequency can be obtained. The fresh air speed corresponding to the weighted breathing frequency can be determined so that the air conditioner can be automatically adjusted later. The whole process effectively saves the user's time and energy in manual setting and adjustment, greatly improving the intelligence of the air conditioner.

[0061] It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the first frequency, the second frequency, the third frequency, and the fourth frequency are only examples, and are not limitations of the present invention. In some other embodiments, they can be set to other values ​​according to actual conditions. In addition, the respiratory frequency range of each age group can be regarded as the situation in the user's health state. In extreme cases, for example, if the respiratory frequency is detected to be less than the first frequency or greater than the fourth frequency, it may be that the user has a physical problem. A prompt message can be output through the display device, voice device, or mobile terminal bound to the air conditioner of the air conditioner to remind the user to pay attention to the body and check in time.

[0062] In summary, the control method of the air conditioner in this embodiment determines the number of users in different age groups and the average breathing frequency of each age group according to the breathing frequency, and then obtains the weighted breathing frequency, and then determines the fresh air speed according to the weighted breathing frequency. This can make the fresh air speed of the air conditioner conform to the current actual situation, fully meet the user's usage needs, and further enhance the user's usage experience.
