[0037] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling a refrigerator provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a refrigerator, including:

[0038] S11, when the refrigerator receives a volume adjustment instruction, the refrigerator obtains the noise value collected by the noise sensor.

[0039] S12, the refrigerator determines the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located.

[0040] S13, the refrigerator determines the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator according to the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value.

[0041] S14, the refrigerator controls the refrigerator to execute the volume adjustment strategy to adjust the volume of the refrigerator.

[0042] In this solution, the refrigerator is provided with a noise sensor, and the noise sensor is configured to collect the ambient noise of the room where the refrigerator is located. Specifically, the volume adjustment instruction can be sent to the refrigerator in the following ways. In one example, when it is sensed that there is a user in the room where the refrigerator is located, the server can send a volume adjustment instruction to the refrigerator. In another example, when it is detected that the user has a voice broadcast requirement, the server can also send a volume adjustment instruction to the refrigerator. In this way, when the refrigerator receives the volume adjustment instruction, the refrigerator can obtain the noise value collected by the noise sensor. With this solution, the acquisition timing of the noise value can be accurately determined, ensuring the accuracy of the noise value acquisition.

[0043] In another example, in order to more accurately determine the noise value of the room where the refrigerator is located, the noise sensor can also be controlled to obtain the noise value multiple times within a preset duration, and the average value of the noise values obtained multiple times is used as the noise value of the room where the refrigerator is located. Among them, the preset duration can be 1 second. With this solution, the accurate acquisition of the noise value of the room where the refrigerator is located can be realized.

[0044] It should be noted that in the original text, the "preset duration" in the last paragraph is "10 seconds" in Chinese, but it is translated as "1 second" in English here because there may be an error in the original text. If the "10 seconds" is correct, please adjust the translation accordingly.Further, the refrigerator can determine the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located in three ways. Specifically, in the first way, the refrigerator can determine the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located according to the distance value between the user and the refrigerator; in the second way, the refrigerator can determine the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located according to the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located; in the third way, the refrigerator can combine the distance value between the user and the refrigerator and the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located to determine the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located. With this solution, the accurate determination of the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located can be achieved.

[0045] Further, the refrigerator can combine the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value to determine the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator. Specifically, the refrigerator determines the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator according to the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value, including: the refrigerator takes the sum of the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value as the target volume value. The refrigerator determines that the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator is to adjust the current set volume of the refrigerator to the target volume value. With this solution, the accurate determination of the volume adjustment strategy can be achieved. Thus, the refrigerator controls the refrigerator to execute the volume adjustment strategy to adjust the volume of the refrigerator.

[0046] By using the method for controlling a refrigerator provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the refrigerator receives a volume adjustment instruction, the noise value collected by the noise sensor is obtained; and the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located is determined; thus, according to the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value, the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator is determined; and then the refrigerator is controlled to execute the volume adjustment strategy. With this solution, the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator can be accurately determined by combining the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value, so that when the refrigerator is controlled to execute the volume adjustment strategy, the volume of the refrigerator can be more intelligently and accurately adjusted, effectively avoiding the tediousness of manual volume adjustment, so that the user can obtain the voice broadcast information of the refrigerator in any environment.

[0047] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a volume reference value provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 2 As shown, optionally, S12, the refrigerator determines the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located, including:

[0048] S21, the refrigerator obtains the distance value between the user and the refrigerator and the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located.

[0049] S22, the refrigerator determines the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located according to the distance value between the user and the refrigerator and / or the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located.

[0050] In this solution, the refrigerator can obtain the distance value between the user and the refrigerator in various ways. In one example, the refrigerator can determine the distance value between the user and the refrigerator through its associated radar sensor. In another example, the refrigerator can collect the user's voice in real time through the microphone of the voice module to calculate the distance value between the user and the refrigerator based on the user voice data collected by the voice module. With this solution, the accurate determination of the distance value between the user and the refrigerator can be achieved.

[0051] Optionally, the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located includes the number of devices started in the room where the refrigerator is located and the size of the room where the refrigerator is located. Here, the number of devices started in the room where the refrigerator is located can be determined based on the device operation information obtained by the server. The size of the room where the refrigerator is located can be determined based on the room size information stored in the server. With this solution, the accurate determination of the number of devices started in the room where the refrigerator is located and the size of the room where the refrigerator is located can be achieved.

[0052] Furthermore, the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located can be determined in three ways. Specifically, in the first way, the refrigerator can determine the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located based on the distance value between the user and the refrigerator; in the second way, the refrigerator can determine the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located based on the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located; in the third way, the refrigerator can combine the distance value between the user and the refrigerator and the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located to determine the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located. With this solution, the accurate determination of the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located can be achieved.

[0053] Figure 3 is another schematic diagram of the method for determining the volume reference value provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure; combined with Figure 3 As shown, optionally, in S22, the refrigerator determines the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located according to the distance value between the user and the refrigerator, including:

[0054] In S31, when the distance value between the user and the refrigerator is greater than the standard distance, the refrigerator determines that the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located is the first volume.

[0055] In S32, when the distance value between the user and the refrigerator is less than the standard distance, the refrigerator determines that the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located is the second volume.

[0056] In this solution, the refrigerator can preset a standard distance. As an example, the standard distance is 2 meters. In this way, when the distance value between the user and the refrigerator is greater than 2 meters, the refrigerator determines that the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located is the first volume; when the distance value between the user and the refrigerator is less than 2 meters, the refrigerator determines that the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located is the second volume. Among them, the first volume > the second volume. As an example, the first volume and the second volume can be calculated in the following way: the first volume = (the distance value between the user and the refrigerator - the standard distance) * volume coefficient + standard reference value, and the second volume = standard reference value - (the standard distance - the distance value between the user and the refrigerator) * volume coefficient. Here, the standard reference value is 8 db, the standard distance is 2 meters, and the volume coefficient is 1. With this solution, the accurate determination of the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located can be achieved.

[0057] Figure 4 is another schematic diagram of a method for determining the volume reference value provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 4 as shown, optionally, S22, the refrigerator determines the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located according to the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located, including:

[0058] S41, the refrigerator determines the equipment start reference value according to the number of equipment started in the room where the refrigerator is located.

[0059] S42, the refrigerator takes the sum of the equipment start reference value and the standard reference value as the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located.

[0060] In this solution, the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located includes the number of equipment started in the room where the refrigerator is located. In this way, the refrigerator determines the equipment start reference value according to the number of equipment started in the room where the refrigerator is located, including: the refrigerator can take the number of equipment started in the room where the refrigerator is located as the equipment start reference value. Further, after the refrigerator determines the equipment start reference value, it can calculate the sum of the equipment start reference value and the standard reference value, and take the sum of the equipment start reference value and the standard reference value as the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located. Among them, the standard reference value is 8 db. With this solution, the accurate determination of the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located can be achieved in combination with the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located.

[0061] Figure 5 is another schematic diagram of a method for determining the volume reference value provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Figure 5 as shown, optionally, S22, the refrigerator determines the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located according to the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located, including:

[0062] S51, the refrigerator determines the volume fluctuation value according to the size of the room where the refrigerator is located.

[0063] S52, the refrigerator uses the sum of the volume fluctuation value and the standard reference value as the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located.

[0064] In this solution, the refrigerator determines the volume fluctuation value according to the size of the room where the refrigerator is located, including: volume fluctuation value = (size of the room where the refrigerator is located - standard room size) * volume coefficient. Among them, the standard reference value is 8 db, the standard room size is 7 square meters, the volume coefficient is 1, and the value range of the volume fluctuation value is -5 ≤ volume fluctuation value ≤ 20. With this solution, the volume fluctuation value can be accurately calculated.

[0065] Further, after obtaining the volume fluctuation value, the refrigerator can calculate the sum of the volume fluctuation value and the standard reference value, so as to use the sum of the volume fluctuation value and the standard reference value as the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located. With this solution, the accurate determination of the volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located can be combined with the relevant information of the room where the refrigerator is located.

[0066] Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a volume adjustment strategy provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; combined with Figure 6 As shown, S13, the refrigerator determines the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator according to the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value, including:

[0067] S61, the refrigerator uses the sum of the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value as the target volume value.

[0068] S62, the refrigerator determines that the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator is to adjust the current set volume of the refrigerator to the target volume value.

[0069] In this solution, the refrigerator can use the sum of the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value as the target volume value. In this way, it can be determined that the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator is to adjust the current set volume of the refrigerator to the target volume value. Specifically, if the current set volume of the refrigerator is higher than the target volume value, the volume of the refrigerator can be adjusted downward until the volume of the refrigerator reaches the target volume value; if the current set volume of the refrigerator is lower than the target volume value, the volume of the refrigerator can be adjusted upward until the volume of the refrigerator reaches the target volume value. With this solution, the accurate determination of the volume adjustment strategy can be achieved.

[0070] Optionally, after the refrigerator determines the target volume value, it further includes:

[0071] The refrigerator obtains the maximum set volume of the refrigerator.

[0072] In the case where the target volume value is greater than the maximum set volume, the refrigerator determines that the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator is to adjust the current set volume of the refrigerator to the maximum set volume.

[0073] Desirably, different refrigerator models have different maximum volume values that can be set. Therefore, the refrigerator can determine its maximum set volume in combination with its model; thus, when the target volume value is greater than the maximum set volume, the refrigerator determines that the volume adjustment strategy for the refrigerator is to adjust the current set volume of the refrigerator to the maximum set volume. With this solution, accurate determination of the volume adjustment strategy can be achieved.

[0075] By using the device for controlling a refrigerator provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the refrigerator receives a volume adjustment instruction, a noise value collected by a noise sensor is acquired; and a volume reference value of the room where the refrigerator is located is determined; thus, a volume adjustment strategy for the refrigerator is determined according to the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value; and then the refrigerator is controlled to execute the volume adjustment strategy. With this solution, the volume adjustment strategy of the refrigerator can be accurately determined in combination with the noise value collected by the noise sensor and the volume reference value, so that when the refrigerator is controlled to execute the volume adjustment strategy, the volume of the refrigerator can be more intelligently and accurately adjusted, effectively avoiding the cumbersome operation of manually adjusting the volume, so that the user can obtain the voice broadcast information of the refrigerator in any environment.
