Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of intelligent household appliances, and particularly to an air conditioner control method, device, air conditioner, equipment, storage medium and program product. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, currently, air conditioner products in the industry are gradually developing towards the direction of intelligence and personalization. Some products are equipped with human sensing detection devices (such as millimeter wave radars, infrared sensors, etc.) to achieve intelligent air flow control functions. The introduction of human sensing detection devices enables the air conditioner to sense information such as the position, number, and activity status of indoor personnel, and then realizes intelligent regulation of the operating state of the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related art, the present disclosure provides an air conditioner control method, device, air conditioner, equipment, storage medium and program product.

[0004] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided an air conditioner control method, including: Determining a positional relationship between a target object and the air conditioner; Determining a blowing mode of the air conditioner; the blowing mode is a mode associated with the position of the target object; Controlling the air conditioner according to the positional relationship and the blowing mode; The positional relationship between the target object and the air conditioner includes at least one of the following: The distance between the target object and the air conditioner; The positional relationship between the target object and the blowing area of the air conditioner; The positional relationship between the target object and the area directly in front of the air outlet of the air conditioner; The height relationship between the target object and the air conditioner.

[0005] In this way, under different blowing modes, the air conditioner is controlled according to the positional relationship between the target object and the air conditioner. Considering the positional relationship between the target object and the air conditioner, it is possible to blow air to the target object more accurately and intelligently, improving the user's body sensation experience.

[0006] In some possible implementation manners, the controlling the air conditioner according to the positional relationship and the blowing mode includes: Adjusting control parameters of the air conditioner according to the positional relationship and the blowing mode, where the control parameters include at least one of the rotational speed of the blower, the frequency of the compressor, and the air deflector.

[0007] In this way, by adjusting at least one of the fan speed, the compressor frequency and the air guide plate angle, the complex airflow field in the room can be accurately controlled, thereby providing users with a more comfortable physical experience.

[0008] In some possible implementations, adjusting the control parameters of the air conditioner according to the position relationship and the air supply mode includes: When the air supply mode is a follow mode, the angle of the air guide plate is controlled so that the air supply direction of the air conditioner follows the target object; and when the air supply mode is a follow mode and the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is greater than a first preset distance threshold, the speed of the fan is increased and / or the frequency of the compressor is increased according to the distance between the target object and the air conditioner.

[0009] In this way, in the mode where the air supply direction of the air conditioner follows the target object, if the target object is far away from the air conditioner, the wind speed of the air conditioner can be increased and / or the temperature of the wind can be adjusted by increasing the fan speed and / or the compressor frequency to ensure that the user can have a comfortable physical experience.

[0010] In some possible implementations, adjusting the control parameters of the air conditioner according to the position relationship and the air supply mode includes: When the air supply mode is the avoidance mode, the angle of the air guide plate is controlled so that the air supply direction of the air conditioner avoids the target object; and when the air supply mode is the avoidance mode and the target object is located in the area directly in front of the air outlet, the rotation speed of the fan is reduced.

[0011] In this way, in the mode where the air supply direction of the air conditioner avoids the target object, if the position relationship represents that the target object is located in the area directly in front of the air outlet of the air conditioner, the fan speed can be reduced to minimize the wind speed and air volume felt by the target object, thereby improving the user's physical experience in the wind avoidance mode.

[0012] In some possible implementations, adjusting the control parameters of the air conditioner according to the position relationship and the air supply mode further includes: When the air supply mode is the avoidance mode and the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is less than a second preset distance threshold, the rotation speed of the fan is reduced.

[0013] In this way, in the mode where the air supply direction of the air conditioner avoids the target object, if the target object is close to the air conditioner, the wind speed of the air conditioner can be reduced by reducing the speed of the fan to minimize the wind speed and air volume felt by the target object, thereby improving the user's physical experience in the wind avoidance mode.

[0014] In some possible embodiments, when the wind speed gear corresponding to the rotation speed of the blower is below a predetermined gear, reducing the wind speed gear is not allowed.

[0015] In this way, it is possible to avoid the problem that reducing the wind speed gear when the wind speed gear is low affects the user experience.

[0016] In some possible embodiments, adjusting the control parameters of the air conditioner according to the position relationship and the air supply mode includes: When the air supply mode is the human-near gentle wind mode and the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is less than a third preset distance threshold, control the air deflector to turn on the gentle wind and reduce the frequency of the compressor.

[0017] In this way, reducing the frequency of the compressor when the air conditioner turns on the gentle wind can reduce the condensation on the air conditioner panel and avoid problems such as water dripping and mildew on the panel caused by condensation.

[0018] In some possible embodiments, adjusting the control parameters of the air conditioner according to the position relationship and the air supply mode further includes: When the air supply mode is the human-near gentle wind mode and the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is less than a third preset distance threshold, control the air deflector to turn on the gentle wind and increase the rotation speed of the blower.

[0019] In this way, increasing the rotation speed of the blower when the air conditioner turns on the gentle wind can ensure the refrigeration effect of the air conditioner while reducing condensation.

[0020] In some possible embodiments, adjusting the control parameters of the air conditioner according to the position relationship and the air supply mode further includes: When the air supply mode is the human-near gentle wind mode and the gentle wind is turned on, and the target object is not located in the area directly in front of the air outlet, increase the rotation speed of the blower.

[0021] In this way, when the air conditioner turns on the gentle wind and the target object is not located in the area directly in front of the air conditioner, the rotation speed of the blower can be increased to increase the wind speed of the air conditioner, and the somatic sensation experience of the target object under the gentle wind can be improved.

[0023] According to a third aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an air conditioner, and the air conditioner is configured to execute the air conditioner control method described in the first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0025] According to the fifth aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method described in the first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0026] According to the sixth aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a computer program product including a computer program which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the method described in the first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0027] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: The present disclosure first determines the positional relationship between the target object and the air conditioner, and the air supply mode of the air conditioner, wherein the air supply mode is a mode associated with the position of the target object, and then controls the air conditioner according to the positional relationship and the air supply mode of the air conditioner. In this way, under different air supply modes, the air conditioner is controlled according to the positional relationship between the target object and the air conditioner, which can supply air to the target object more accurately and intelligently, improving the user's physical experience.

[0034] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0035] Before introducing an air conditioner control method, device, air conditioner, equipment, storage medium, and program product shown in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the application scenarios related to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be introduced first.

[0036] Currently, for air conditioner products in the industry that are equipped with human presence detection devices to achieve intelligent air supply functions, there is still room for improvement in the actual effect. Usually, the position of the user is used to control the air supply of the air conditioner, without considering the influence of the position relationship between the air conditioner and the user on the user's body sensation under different air supply modes. For example, whether the user is located in the air supply area, whether the user is directly in front of the air outlet, etc., resulting in the air conditioner being unable to accurately and intelligently control the air supply method and unable to provide a comfortable body sensation experience for the user.

[0037] The present disclosure first determines the position relationship between the target object and the air conditioner and the air supply mode of the air conditioner, where the air supply mode is a mode associated with the position of the target object, and then controls the air conditioner according to the position relationship and the air supply mode of the air conditioner. In this way, under different air supply modes, the air conditioner is controlled according to the position relationship between the target object and the air conditioner, which can supply air to the target object more accurately and intelligently, improving the user's body sensation experience.

[0038] Figure 1 is a flowchart of an air conditioner control method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 1 shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0039] In step S101, the position relationship between the target object and the air conditioner is determined.

[0040] Exemplarily, at least one human presence detection device may be mounted on the air conditioner shown in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and each human presence detection device may be arranged at different parts of the air conditioner. Among them, the human presence detection device may be one or more of a millimeter-wave radar, an infrared sensor, a camera, and an ultrasonic sensor. The position information of the target object in the space where the air conditioner is located can be obtained through the human presence detection device, and the position relationship between the target object and the air conditioner can be determined according to the position of the target object. Among them, the target object may be an object such as a human body, a pet, or furniture, and the present disclosure does not make a specific limitation on the type of the target object.

[0041] In some embodiments, the positional relationship may include at least one of the following: the distance between the target object and the air conditioner; the positional relationship between the target object and the air supply area of the air conditioner; the positional relationship between the target object and the area directly in front of the air outlet of the air conditioner; the height relationship between the target object and the air conditioner, where the height relationship may be the vertical height difference between the target object and the air outlet of the air conditioner; the horizontal azimuth angle between the target object and the air outlet of the air conditioner; the positional relationship between the target object and the direct blowing path of the air conditioner.

[0042] In step S102, determine the air supply mode of the air conditioner.

[0043] In step S103, control the air conditioner according to the positional relationship and the air supply mode.

[0044] Exemplarily, the air supply mode is a mode associated with the position of the target object. The air supply mode may include, for example, a following mode, an avoidance mode, and a gentle air flow mode when a person is near. The following mode can be understood as a mode in which the air supply direction of the air conditioner follows the target object. The avoidance mode can be understood as a mode in which the air supply direction of the air conditioner avoids the target object. The gentle air flow mode when a person is near can be understood as a mode in which the air conditioner supplies air gently when the target object approaches. In different air supply modes, the air conditioner can be controlled according to the positional relationship through different control methods.

[0045] Currently, air conditioner products are only limited to the regulation of the air deflector. Although by adjusting the angle of the air deflector, the direct blowing of air flow on the human body can be avoided to a certain extent, it is difficult to accurately control the complex indoor air flow field with a single adjustment of the air deflector angle, and a comfortable body sensation experience cannot be provided for users.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control parameters of the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the positional relationship and the air supply mode, where the control parameters include at least one of the rotational speed of the fan, the frequency of the compressor, and the angle of the air deflector. In this way, by adjusting at least one of the rotational speed of the fan, the frequency of the compressor, and the angle of the air deflector, the complex indoor air flow field can be accurately controlled, thereby providing a more comfortable body sensation experience for users.

[0047] In some embodiments, when the air supply mode is the follow mode, if the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is less than or equal to the first preset distance threshold, the fan can be controlled to maintain the current wind speed, where the first preset distance threshold can be, for example, 3 meters. If the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is greater than the first preset distance threshold, indicating that the target object is far from the air conditioner and the actual wind speed and temperature felt by the target object will be low, then at least one of the following control operations can be performed according to the distance between the target object and the air conditioner: 1) increase the rotation speed of the fan; 2) the frequency of the compressor; 3) increase the rotation speed of the fan and the frequency of the compressor, so as to increase the wind speed of the air conditioner and / or adjust the temperature of the air, so that in the follow mode, even if the target object is far from the air conditioner, a comfortable body feeling experience can still be obtained.

[0048] Optionally, a first correspondence between the distance between the target object and the air conditioner and the rotation speed of the fan, and a second correspondence between the distance between the target object and the air conditioner and the compressor frequency can be established in advance. When the air supply mode is the follow mode and the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is greater than the first preset distance threshold, the first correspondence can be searched to obtain the rotation speed of the fan corresponding to the distance between the target object and the air conditioner, and the second correspondence can be searched to obtain the compressor frequency corresponding to the distance between the target object and the air conditioner. Among them, the first correspondence and the second correspondence can be a correspondence table, a correspondence function, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit the specific forms of the first correspondence and the second correspondence.

[0049] In other embodiments, when the air supply mode is the follow mode, if the target object is not within the air supply area of the air conditioner and the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is greater than the first preset distance threshold, the air deflector can be controlled to rotate towards the position where the target object is located, so that the target object is located within the air supply area of the air conditioner, and the rotation speed of the fan and the frequency of the compressor can be increased according to the distance between the target object and the air conditioner, so as to increase the wind speed of the air conditioner and adjust the temperature of the air flow output by the air conditioner.

[0050] In other embodiments, when the air supply mode is the follow mode, if the target object is not within the air supply area of the air conditioner, the air deflector can be controlled to rotate towards the position where the target object is located, so that the target object is located within the air supply area of the air conditioner. Optionally, if the target object moves from the left side of the air conditioner to the right side, the left and right air deflectors can be controlled to rotate from facing the left side to facing the right side, so that the air supply direction of the air conditioner follows the target object. If the target object is within the air supply area of the air conditioner, the air deflector can be controlled to maintain the current state.

[0051] In some other embodiments, in the case where the air supply mode is the avoidance mode, if the target object is located in the area directly in front of the air outlet of the air conditioner, no matter which direction the air deflector rotates to, the target object will feel the wind. Therefore, the rotation speed of the blower can be reduced to minimize the wind speed and air volume felt by the target object, thereby improving the user experience in the avoidance mode. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the area directly in front of the air outlet. The area directly in front of the air outlet of the air conditioner can be a predetermined area directly in front of the air outlet, such as Figure 2 shown in Figure 2 where A can be the air conditioner, B can be the air outlet of the air conditioner, and C can be the area directly in front of the air outlet.

[0052] In some other embodiments, in the case where the air supply mode is the avoidance mode, if the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is less than the second preset distance threshold, where the second preset distance threshold can be, for example, 3 meters, indicating that the target object is relatively close to the air conditioner and is likely to feel the wind, then the rotation speed of the blower can be reduced according to the distance between the target object and the air conditioner to reduce the wind speed of the air conditioner, so as to minimize the wind speed and air volume felt by the target object, thereby improving the physical sensation experience of the user in the avoidance mode.

[0053] In some other embodiments, in the case where the air supply mode is the avoidance mode, if the target object is within the air supply area of the air conditioner, then the left and right air deflectors can be controlled to rotate to the left or right of the position where the target object is located, so that the target object is not within the air supply area of the air conditioner, and the air supply direction of the air conditioner avoids the target object.

[0054] In some other embodiments, in the case where the air supply mode is the avoidance mode, the angle of the air deflector can be adjusted according to the height difference between the target object and the air conditioner, so that the air supply direction of the air conditioner avoids the target object. For example, when the height difference is small, the upper and lower air deflectors can be controlled to tilt upward to direct the air flow towards the ceiling, and indirect cooling / heating is achieved through natural air convection. When the height difference is large, the air deflector can be controlled to be horizontal or slightly downward, so that the air flow is sent horizontally or at a small angle downward to avoid directly blowing on the user's head.

[0055] In some other embodiments, in the case where the air supply mode is the avoidance mode, the rotation speed of the blower can be adjusted according to the height difference between the target object and the air conditioner to adjust the wind speed of the air flow output by the air conditioner. For example, when the height difference is small, the rotation speed of the blower can be reduced to reduce the wind speed of the air flow output by the air conditioner. When the height difference is large, the rotation speed of the blower can be increased to increase the wind speed of the air flow output by the air conditioner. In this way, the control parameters of the air conditioner are flexibly adjusted according to the height difference between the target object and the air conditioner, making the physical sensation experience of the target object more comfortable.

[0056] In some other embodiments, when the wind speed level corresponding to the rotation speed of the blower is below a predetermined level, it may not be allowed to lower the wind speed level. Herein, the wind speed level may be a level preset for the rotation speed of the blower, for example, it may include a low wind speed level, a medium wind speed level, a high wind speed level, etc. Each wind speed level may correspond to a preset wind speed. For example, the wind speed corresponding to the low wind speed level may be 2 m / s, the wind speed corresponding to the medium wind speed level may be 5 m / s, and the wind speed corresponding to the high wind speed level may be 8 m / s.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the air supply mode may be the human-near gentle wind mode. Since the air volume output by the air conditioner in the gentle wind mode is small, condensation is likely to occur on the air conditioner panel. Therefore, in the human-near gentle wind mode, if the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is less than a third preset distance threshold, where the third preset distance threshold may be 3 meters, for example, then the gentle wind may be turned on, and at the same time, the frequency of the compressor may be reduced to reduce the condensation generated on the air conditioner panel and avoid problems such as water dripping and mildew on the panel caused by the condensation.

[0058] In some other embodiments, when the air supply mode is the human-near gentle wind mode and the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is less than the third preset distance threshold, then the gentle wind may be turned on, and at the same time, the frequency of the compressor may be reduced. Since reducing the frequency of the compressor will reduce the cooling effect of the air conditioner, the rotation speed of the blower may be increased to ensure the cooling effect of the air conditioner while reducing the condensation.

[0059] In some other embodiments, when the air supply mode is the human-near gentle wind mode and the gentle wind is turned on, if the target object is not located in the area directly in front of the air outlet of the air conditioner, it means that the air volume felt by the target object may be insufficient. Then the rotation speed of the blower may be increased to increase the wind speed of the air flow output by the air conditioner, thereby improving the body sensation experience of the target object in the gentle wind mode.

[0060] In some other embodiments, when the air supply mode is the human-near gentle wind mode and the target object is not located on the direct blowing path of the air conditioner, it means that the air volume felt by the target object may be insufficient. Then the rotation speed of the blower may be increased to improve the body sensation experience of the target object in the gentle wind mode.

[0061] In some other embodiments, when the air supply mode is the human-near gentle wind mode and the height difference between the target object and the air conditioner is less than a preset height difference threshold, then the gentle wind may be turned on, and at the same time, the frequency of the compressor may be reduced. Since reducing the frequency of the compressor will reduce the cooling effect of the air conditioner, the rotation speed of the blower may be increased to ensure the cooling effect of the air conditioner while reducing the condensation.

[0062] In some other embodiments, when the wind speed level corresponding to the rotation speed of the blower is below a predetermined level, it may not be allowed to turn on the gentle wind.

[0063] In some other embodiments, the positional relationship between the target object and the air conditioner may include: the distance between the target object and the air conditioner, the positional relationship between the target object and the air supply area of the air conditioner, and the positional relationship between the target object and the area directly in front of the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the angle of the air deflector of the air conditioner, the wind speed of the internal fan, and the frequency of the compressor may be controlled in combination with the wind speed gear of the internal fan.

[0064] Exemplarily, Table 1 shows the digital codes corresponding to different positional relationships, Table 2 shows the control methods corresponding to the follow mode, Table 3 shows the control methods corresponding to the avoidance mode, and Table 4 shows the control methods corresponding to the human-near gentle wind mode.

[0065]

[0066] Table 1

[0067] Table 2

[0068] Table 3

[0069] Table 4 In each of the above tables, the control methods in different scenarios can be superimposed. For example, in Table 4, if it is simultaneously satisfied that the target object is located directly in front of the air outlet of the air conditioner and the distance between the target object and the air conditioner is less than 3 meters, then the control methods of the two scenarios of "x0xx" and "xx0x" can be superimposed, that is, control the air deflector to turn on the gentle wind, and control the rotation speed of the internal fan so that the wind speed gear is increased by two gears, that is, wind speed gear +2.

[0070] In this way, in different air supply modes, controlling the air conditioner according to the positional relationship between the target object and the air conditioner can supply air to the target object more accurately and intelligently, improving the user's physical experience. And by adjusting at least one of the rotation speed of the fan, the frequency of the compressor, and the angle of the air deflector, precise control of the complex indoor airflow field can be achieved, thereby providing a more comfortable physical experience for the user.

[0083] In some other embodiments, the control module 202 may be configured to: When the air gear corresponding to the rotation speed of the fan between the air conditioners is below the predetermined gear, the gentle breeze is not allowed to be turned on.

[0084] Regarding the device in the above embodiments, the specific manners in which each module performs operations have been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated here.

[0085] In summary, in the present disclosure, under different air supply modes, the air conditioner is controlled according to the positional relationship between the target object and the air conditioner, which can supply air to the target object more accurately and intelligently, improving the user's physical experience. Moreover, by adjusting at least one of the rotation speed of the fan, the frequency of the compressor, and the angle of the air deflector, precise control of the complex indoor airflow field can be achieved, thereby providing a more comfortable physical experience for the user.

Whether such a function is implemented by hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design requirements of the entire system. Those skilled in the art can use various methods to implement the described function for each specific application, but such implementation should not be construed as exceeding the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application.

[0102] It should be understood that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the features of some embodiments of the various disclosures described herein can be combined with each other. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any one of the related listed items and any combination of any two or more of them; similarly, "at least one of..." includes any one of the related listed items and any combination of any two or more of them.

[0103] Although terms such as "first", "second", and "third" may be used herein to describe various components, parts, regions, layers, or sections, these components, parts, regions, layers, or sections are not limited to these terms. Instead, these terms are only used to distinguish one component, part, region, layer, or section from another. Thus, the first component, part, region, layer, or section mentioned in the examples described herein may also be referred to as the second component, part, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the respective examples. Additionally, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description herein, "a plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically and explicitly defined.

[0104] It should be understood that spatial relative terms, such as "above", "upper", "below", and "lower", are used herein to describe the relationship between one element and another shown in the figures. In addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings, such spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use or operation. For example, if the device in the drawing is flipped, an element described as "above" or "upper" relative to another element will then be "below" or "lower" relative to that other element. Thus, depending on the spatial orientation of the device, the term "above" encompasses both the above and below orientations. The device may have other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0105] In addition, as used herein, the word "exemplary" is used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as advantageous over other aspects or designs. Rather, the word exemplary is intended to present concepts in a concrete fashion. As used herein, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or". That is, unless otherwise specified, or clear from the context, "X applies A or B" is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X applies A; X applies B; or X applies both A and B, then "X applies A or B" is satisfied under any one of the foregoing instances. In addition, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context that it is directed to the singular form, the articles "a" and "an" as used in this application and the appended claims are generally understood to mean "one or more".

[0106] Likewise, although the present disclosure has been shown and described with respect to one or more implementations, equivalent variations and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the specification and drawings. The present disclosure includes all such modifications and variations and is limited only by the scope of the claims. Specifically with respect to the various functions performed by the components described above (e.g., elements, resources, etc.), unless otherwise indicated, the terms used to describe such components are intended to correspond to any component (functionally equivalent) that performs the specific function of the described component, even if not structurally equivalent to the disclosed structure. In addition, although a particular feature of the present disclosure may have been disclosed with respect to only one of several implementations, such a feature may, as may be desired and advantageous for any given or particular application, be combined with one or more other features of other implementations. Further, with respect to the use of "comprising", "having", "including", "contains", or variants thereof in the detailed description or claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "including".

[0107] Other embodiments of the present disclosure will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art after considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure that follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include known or customary techniques in the art that are not disclosed herein.
