Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to an air conditioner and its control method, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most of the exterior area of ​​air conditioner indoor units is made of injection-molded parts. The appearance design of air conditioner indoor units generally lacks innovation, resulting in a high degree of similarity between products and causing consumers to experience "visual fatigue" with air conditioner indoor units. Moreover, as an important appearance surface of air conditioner indoor units, the display area on the panel is generally just a small electronic display screen for displaying the temperature setting value. The panel is not well used for visual expression related to the current situation such as the air conditioner's operating status, environmental conditions, or user status. The status feedback is not intuitive, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The primary objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioner control method that can generate animations based on the current situation, thereby giving the air conditioner a dynamic and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0004] The second objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioner capable of implementing the above-described air conditioner control method.

[0005] A third objective of this invention is to provide a readable storage medium capable of implementing the above-described air conditioner control method.

[0006] The air conditioning control method provided by the first objective of this invention includes an air conditioner comprising an indoor unit, the indoor unit comprising a panel; at least a portion of the panel employs a display component, the display component comprising an electrochromic glass unit and a transparent display screen unit stacked together; the air conditioning control method comprises: determining display content and display parameters according to the current operating mode of the air conditioner; controlling the transparent display screen unit to display according to the display content; and controlling the electrochromic glass to operate according to the display parameters.

[0007] As can be seen from the above solution, the present invention improves the indoor unit panel by combining electrochromic glass and a transparent display screen unit. The electrochromic glass adjusts the color according to the operating mode, while the transparent display screen unit displays preset animations and set operating parameters such as set temperature and set humidity values ​​in real time, giving the air conditioner a dynamic and photoelectric aesthetic. It also effectively expresses the air conditioner's operating status, environmental conditions, or user status by displaying color temperature, color saturation, brightness, and light transmittance according to the display parameters, as well as animations and text content according to the display content. Furthermore, users can clearly understand the current situation through eye-catching and recognizable animation effects, achieving an organic combination of practical functions and visual effects, significantly improving the overall aesthetics of the product and the user experience.

[0008] A further approach involves, after controlling the transparent display unit to display according to the display content and controlling the electrochromic glass to display according to the display parameters, performing at least one of the following steps: updating the display content based on real-time acquired environmental data; updating the display parameters based on real-time acquired environmental data; updating the display content based on real-time acquired object data; and updating the display parameters based on real-time acquired object data.

[0009] As can be seen from the above, under this setting, the panel can update the displayed content and / or display parameters based on object data related to the user. For example, it can detect and recognize the user's current posture through the camera, determine the behavioral scene, and read the preset animation or prompt text corresponding to that behavioral scene from the memory for display. It can also read the display parameters corresponding to that behavioral scene to change brightness, color temperature, etc., thereby realizing visual content interaction with the user. In addition, the photoelectric animation displayed on the panel can also be updated according to changes in environmental data. For example, based on temperature data, it can determine whether the temperature is rising or falling, and then change the color temperature and light transmittance. Therefore, changes in the environment are no longer just small numbers on a small display screen in the corner of the panel; users can more clearly and intuitively understand the current environmental changes through the dynamic changes in the animation.

[0010] A further approach is to include environmental data including at least one of temperature data, humidity data, light intensity data, and time data; and object data including at least one of attitude data, command data, and location data.

[0011] As can be seen above, for example, temperature data is used to adjust color temperature, humidity is used to adjust light transmittance, light intensity data is used to adjust display brightness, and time data is used to determine the current time period and as a basis for adjusting display brightness and color temperature; for example, posture data and / or position data are used to determine the current user's behavioral scenario and as a basis for adjusting preset animations, and command data is used to determine the user's control needs and, based on these needs, identify and adjust the corresponding display mode. Under this control, the display changes of dynamic light effects on the panel are enriched, the matching degree between the presented visual content and the current situation is improved, the visual effect is further optimized, and the visual experience is enhanced.

[0012] A further proposed solution is to display content including at least one of the following: current operating parameters, set operating parameters, preset animations, and prompts; and display parameters including at least one of the following: preset color value change rules, color value parameters, and light transmittance.

[0013] As can be seen above, operating parameters include temperature, humidity, airflow, and operating mode; operating modes include cooling and heating modes; preset animations include snow and ice crystal animations matching the cooling state; preset animations include flame or sun animations matching the cooling state; prompts include the text and / or voice prompts such as "Take a break" displayed when a preset time is reached in the operating mode; color value change patterns include the dynamic change of the color-changing glass from the first color to the second color within a preset time; and color value parameters include color temperature and saturation. Under this control, the display changes of the panel's dynamic light effects are enriched, the matching degree between the presented visual content and the current situation is improved, the visual effect is further optimized, and the visual experience is enhanced.

[0014] A further proposed solution involves controlling the transparent display unit to display content and controlling the electrochromic glass to operate according to display parameters, including displaying a preset animation corresponding to the current operating mode; after controlling the transparent display unit to display content and controlling the electrochromic glass to operate according to display parameters, the solution includes determining whether there is a temperature change based on temperature data; if so, the preset animation changes according to a preset pattern, and at least one of the light transmittance and color value parameters is adjusted in real time based on the temperature data.

[0015] As can be seen above, under this control, for example, in cooling mode, the panel dynamically displays ice crystal structures composed of geometric patterns. As the temperature decreases, the ice crystals gradually "grow" and spread. Similarly, in heating mode, the panel dynamically displays halos or flame elements composed of geometric patterns. As the temperature increases, the halos gradually spread and intensify. This improves the matching degree between the presented visual content and the current situation, providing users with interesting and highly recognizable visual feedback through animation, fulfilling the functional requirements of feedback, further optimizing visual effects, and enhancing the visual experience.

[0016] A further solution involves, after controlling the transparent display unit to display according to the content and controlling the electrochromic glass to operate according to the display parameters, determining the current time period scene based on the current time data, and updating the color value parameters and the brightness of the displayed content according to the time period scene.

[0017] As can be seen from the above, under this control, for example, it can determine whether it is a daytime scene or a nighttime scene based on the current time. For example, in a daytime scene, the panel is displayed with higher brightness and color saturation, and the brightness and saturation gradually decrease as time goes on.

[0018] Another further approach is that the instruction data includes at least one of behavioral instructions, voice instructions, and input instructions; after the steps of controlling the transparent display unit to display according to the display content and controlling the electrochromic glass to operate according to the display parameters, the approach includes, upon acquiring the instruction data, identifying the display content and display parameters corresponding to the instruction data.

[0019] As can be seen from the above, currently, the panels of air conditioner indoor units lack the ability to interact with users. The intelligent interactive design of air conditioner indoor units has not fully kept up with the development trend of modern home appliances, and users' needs for intelligent interactive experiences with air conditioners have not been fully met. Therefore, under the execution of the control method of this invention, the panel can provide feedback based on the user's behavior, voice, and input commands. For example, it can recognize the user's gesture commands based on image data acquired by a camera, execute corresponding control commands such as cooling based on the gesture commands, and display a preset dynamic light effect of ice crystals corresponding to the cooling effect. In this way, in addition to the system responding to user commands, the panel responds to user commands by visually indicating that the command has been received. Users can clearly see whether the air conditioner is responding to their commands, thus improving the user experience.

[0020] Another further solution involves controlling the transparent display unit to display according to the content, and controlling the electrochromic glass to operate according to the display parameters. This includes determining the current behavior scenario based on real-time acquired posture data, or based on real-time acquired posture data and position data; and performing at least one of the following steps based on the behavior scenario: updating the preset animation; sending a prompt message corresponding to the behavior scenario if the duration of the behavior scenario exceeds the preset duration; and adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner.

[0021] As can be seen above, for example, based on the user's movement status detected by the camera and the user detected by the millimeter-wave radar, it can be determined that the user is in different behavioral scenarios such as exercise, work, or entertainment, and corresponding animation content can be displayed on the panel; for example, the panel can update to display an animation of a cartoon character running and control the activation of the fresh air module; when it is determined that the user's exercise exceeds a certain duration, prompts such as "Keep going" or "Take a break" can be displayed on the panel.

[0022] A further embodiment includes a display component comprising, from the inside out, a first electrochromic glass unit, a first transparent display unit, a second electrochromic glass unit, a second transparent display unit, and a third electrochromic glass unit stacked sequentially. In the steps of controlling the transparent display unit to display content and controlling the electrochromic glass to operate according to display parameters: the first electrochromic glass unit operates based on light transmittance; the second electrochromic glass unit operates based on color value change patterns; the third electrochromic glass unit operates based on color value parameters; the first transparent display unit displays a preset animation; and the second transparent display unit displays at least one of the following: set operating parameters, current operating parameters, and prompt content.

[0023] As can be seen from the above solutions, the visual effect of the content displayed under a simple electrochromic glass unit and a display screen unit is relatively flat and of poor quality. However, the light transmittance, color value change effect and color value parameters are achieved by three different electrochromic glass units, and the operating parameters and preset animations are displayed on two different transparent display screen units, which makes different display objects have a sense of layering, and the display content presents a certain three-dimensional effect, thus enhancing the visual aesthetics.

[0024] The second objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioner that includes a processor, which executes a computer program stored in a memory to implement the above-described air conditioner control method.

[0025] A further embodiment is that the display assembly includes a first electrochromic glass unit, a first transparent display unit, a second electrochromic glass unit, a second transparent display unit, and a third electrochromic glass unit stacked sequentially from the inside out.

[0026] As can be seen from the above solutions, the visual effect of the content displayed under a simple electrochromic glass unit and a display screen unit is relatively flat and of poor quality. However, the light transmittance, color value change effect and color value parameters are achieved by three different electrochromic glass units, and the operating parameters and preset animations are displayed on two different transparent display screen units, which makes different display objects have a sense of layering, and the display content presents a certain three-dimensional effect, thus enhancing the visual aesthetics.

[0027] The third objective of this invention is to provide a readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, which, when executed by a processor, implements the air conditioning control method described above. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Figure 3 This is a system connection block diagram of an embodiment of the air conditioner of the present invention.

[0031] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of the air conditioning control method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0032] Air Conditioner and Control Method Examples See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioner in this embodiment includes an indoor unit 9, with a panel 91 on the front and an air outlet 90 below the panel 91. In this invention, the panel 91 is almost entirely composed of a display component 4, which includes a first electrochromic glass unit 411, a first transparent display unit 421, a second electrochromic glass unit 412, a second transparent display unit 422, and a third electrochromic glass unit 413 stacked sequentially from the inside out.

[0033] The first electrochromic glass unit 411, the second electrochromic glass unit 412 and the third electrochromic glass unit 413 all use existing electrochromic glass, and the first transparent display unit 421 and the second transparent display unit 422 both use existing transparent OLED displays.

[0034] Combination Figure 3 Not shown, the indoor unit 9 also has a light strip 5 on its exterior. The display component 4 and the light strip 5 together form the display module 3 in this embodiment. The air conditioner includes a processor 1, a data acquisition module 2, and the aforementioned display module 3, and of course, also includes devices such as a memory.

[0035] Processor 1 is used to execute the computer program stored in the memory to implement all steps of the air conditioning control method of the present invention. Processor 1 may be a Central Processing Unit (CPU), or other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. A general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional processor.

[0036] The memory mainly includes a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area can store the operating system and at least one application program required for a function (such as sound playback function, image playback function, etc.). The data storage area can store data created based on the use of the handheld terminal (such as audio data, phonebook, etc.). In addition, the memory can include high-speed random access memory, and can also include non-volatile memory, such as hard disk, memory, plug-in hard disk, smart media card (SMC), secure digital (SD) card, flash card, at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0037] In this embodiment, the acquisition module 2 includes a temperature sensor 21, a humidity sensor 22, an air quality sensor 23, a camera 24, a millimeter-wave radar 25, and a photosensor 26.

[0038] Combined Figure 4 The air conditioning control method in this embodiment includes: After the air conditioner is started, step S1 is executed first, and the air conditioner operates in the selected working mode according to the input command.

[0039] Then, step S2 is executed, where the transparent display unit of display component 4 displays the content, and the electrochromic glass unit operates according to the display parameters. Specifically, during the first execution of step S2, the display content and parameters are determined based on the current operating mode of the air conditioner, controlling the transparent display unit to display the content and the electrochromic glass to operate according to the display parameters.

[0040] The operating modes mainly include existing operating modes such as cooling mode, heating mode, dehumidification mode, automatic mode, and defrosting mode.

[0041] This embodiment uses cooling mode and heating mode as examples to illustrate the execution of step S2.

[0042] In this embodiment, the displayed content includes current operating parameters, set operating parameters, preset animations, and prompts. The display parameters include preset color value change rules, color value parameters, and light transmittance. When the display component 4 is in use, the first electrochromic glass unit 411 is used to adjust the light transmittance, the second electrochromic glass unit 412 is used to display color value changes according to the preset color value change rules, and the third electrochromic glass unit 413 is used to adjust the color value parameters. The color value parameters mainly refer to reaching a certain color value, and one specific item of the color value parameters is color temperature. The first transparent display screen unit 421 is used to display preset animations that match the current mode or scene, and the second transparent display screen unit 422 is used to display set operating parameters, current operating parameters, and prompts.

[0043] For example, in cooling mode, on display component 4, the first transparent display unit 421 dynamically displays an animation of an ice crystal structure composed of geometric patterns, and the third electrochromic glass unit 413 adjusts the color value parameters preset with the cooling mode to make the panel as a whole bias towards blue or other cool colors.

[0044] For example, in heating mode, the first transparent display unit 421 dynamically displays an animation of a halo or flame element composed of geometric patterns, and the third electrochromic glass unit 413 makes the panel as a whole lean towards red or other warm colors according to the color value parameters preset with the heating mode.

[0045] Subsequently, the system executes step S3 to determine whether the environmental data meets the preset conditions. If the determination result is yes, step S6 is executed to update the display content based on the real-time acquired environmental data. Then, step S2 is executed, and the transparent display unit of display component 4 displays the updated content, while the photochromic glass unit operates according to the updated display parameters.

[0046] In this invention, environmental data includes at least one of temperature data, humidity data, light intensity data, and time data. In this embodiment, the environmental data includes temperature data, humidity data, light intensity data, and time data. The temperature data, humidity data, light intensity data, and time data are obtained through temperature sensor 21, humidity sensor 22, photosensor 26, and network data, respectively.

[0047] Examples of whether environmental data meets preset conditions are as follows: whether temperature data meets a certain temperature value, whether humidity data meets a certain humidity value, and whether time data is at a certain time. Here, temperature data refers to the current temperature data detected by temperature sensor 21.

[0048] For example, in cooling mode, the preset animation model remains unchanged, but different scenes or continuous scene groups corresponding to different temperature values ​​are stored under the preset animation model. Since different temperature values ​​correspond to different scenes or scene groups, in the preset animation, as the temperature decreases, the scene changes, and the ice crystals in the animation gradually "grow" and spread. That is, the present invention determines whether the temperature changes based on temperature data. If so, the preset animation changes according to a preset rule. In addition, the system pre-stores color value parameters, color value change rules, and light transmittance corresponding to different temperature values. As the temperature decreases, the system updates the display parameters and controls the third electrochromic glass unit 413, the second electrochromic glass unit 412, and the first electrochromic glass unit 411 to work. The color of the display component 4 gradually transitions from dark blue to light blue, the color saturation decreases, creating a clear visual effect, and the light transmittance gradually increases as the temperature decreases. The display component 4 is almost completely transparent at low temperatures, and the ice crystal pattern is faintly visible, creating a "transparent ice cube" effect. That is, the present invention adjusts at least one of the light transmittance and color value parameters in real time based on temperature data.

[0049] For example, in heating mode, the preset animation model remains unchanged, but different images or continuous image groups corresponding to different temperature values ​​are stored. In this preset animation, the halo gradually spreads and intensifies as the temperature rises. Furthermore, the system pre-stores color value parameters, color value change patterns, and light transmittance corresponding to different temperature values. As the temperature decreases, the system updates the display parameters and controls the third electrochromic glass unit 413, the second electrochromic glass unit 412, and the first electrochromic glass unit 411 to work. The color gradually transitions from light yellow to orange and finally to deep red. The color saturation increases with temperature, creating a warm feeling. In the animation, the halo or flame pattern slowly fluctuates, forming a warm, breathing feeling, as if hot air is flowing. The light transmittance gradually decreases with temperature, and the display component 4 becomes semi-transparent at high temperatures, making the halo pattern more pronounced.

[0050] In other examples, based on humidity data, if the humidity is determined to be rising, the display component 4 is controlled to reduce the light transmittance; based on light intensity data, if the light intensity is determined to be greater than a preset intensity, the display component 4 is controlled to increase the light transmittance to a second preset value and increase the brightness of the transparent display unit to a third preset value.

[0051] In other examples, in step S3, it is determined whether the time data is in a certain time period, the current time period scene is determined based on the current time data, and the color value parameters are updated according to the time period scene.

[0052] For example, if the time data indicates that the current time period is between 6 AM and 6 PM, and the scene is determined to be daytime mode, then display component 4 will show a dynamic sunlight gradient effect. The light transmittance will gradually increase from low to high. Display component 4 will be nearly completely transparent in the morning, and its transparency will decrease to a semi-transparent state in the evening, gradually transitioning from light orange in the morning to warm white at noon and then to gold in the evening. Color saturation will gradually decrease over time, gradually becoming more saturated after noon, and then gradually increasing in color saturation over time, creating a warm atmosphere. The displayed content will be clearly visible, mainly in light colors, combined with a soft halo effect to enhance visual clarity. The displayed content will respond with a sunlight diffusion effect to enhance the interactive experience and the brightness of the displayed content.

[0053] For example, if the time data indicates that the current time period is between 9 PM and 6 AM the next day, then the scenario is determined to be night mode: a dynamic starry sky pattern is displayed on display component 4, with alternating deep blue and purple gradients to create a tranquil atmosphere. The transparency of display component 4 is reduced, becoming semi-transparent. The displayed content is accompanied by twinkling starlight or a faint moonlight effect. The displayed content responds with a starlight diffusion effect, enhancing the interactive experience.

[0054] If step S3 determines the result as negative, then step S4 is executed to determine whether to enter the preset behavior scenario based on the acquired object data. If so, step S6 is executed to update the display content based on the real-time acquired object data. Then, step S2 is executed again, and the transparent display unit of display component 4 displays the updated content, while the color-changing glass unit operates according to the updated display parameters.

[0055] In this invention, object data includes at least one of posture data, command data, and position data. In this embodiment, object data includes posture data, command data, and position data. The object refers to the detected object, i.e., a user or animal within the scene.

[0056] In one example, the current behavior scenario is determined based on real-time acquired posture data, or based on real-time acquired posture data and position data. The preset animation is then updated according to the behavior scenario, and the display component 4 is controlled to update the display and function.

[0057] For example, the system identifies the user's posture data based on the image data acquired by the camera 24 and determines that the user is in motion. Alternatively, the system identifies the user's posture data based on the image data acquired by the camera 24 and combines it with the position data acquired by the millimeter-wave radar 25 to determine that the user is in motion. In this case, the system controls the entry into a motion behavior scene. After updating the control of the display component 4, the display component 4 has a high light transmittance and is almost completely transparent. The displayed content mainly consists of simple current operating parameters such as temperature and humidity data, as well as heart rate data obtained through the user's watch.

[0058] In addition, it can display exercise-related suggestions, such as "It is recommended to increase humidity to keep skin moisturized" or "Exercise mode has been turned on and the wind speed has been adjusted".

[0059] In addition, after determining the current behavior scenario, if the duration of the behavior scenario exceeds the preset duration, a prompt message corresponding to the behavior scenario will be sent. For example, if it is determined that the duration of the exercise behavior scenario exceeds 1 hour, a prompt message such as "Please take a break" will be displayed on display component 4.

[0060] In addition, after determining the current behavioral scenario, the operating parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted. For example, the airflow angle is adjusted based on the location data obtained by the millimeter-wave radar 25 to avoid blowing directly on the user, while lowering the temperature and increasing air circulation to help the user stay cool.

[0061] For example, the system identifies the user's posture data based on image data acquired by camera 24, determining that the user has been sitting still in a certain position for a long time. Combined with light intensity data, it determines that the current light intensity is below a preset value, indicating the user is in an entertainment state, such as playing a game or watching a movie, thus defining the current scenario as entertainment. At this point, the system adjusts the air conditioner's operating parameters: reducing the fan speed and adjusting the airflow angle to avoid disturbing the user; updating preset animations and display parameters, and controlling display component 4 to update its display and operation as follows: displaying dynamic light effects and dynamic "particle flow" effects to create an immersive entertainment experience. The light transmittance remains moderate, the glass screen is semi-transparent, and the displayed content is entertainment-related data. If the duration of the behavioral scenario exceeds a preset time, a corresponding prompt is sent: if the system detects that the user has been sitting still for a long time, it will also display a reminder such as "It is recommended to move around to maintain good health."

[0062] For example, after determining the work-related scenario, the air conditioner's operating parameters are adjusted as follows: The air quality sensor 23 detects the carbon dioxide concentration; if the concentration exceeds a preset value, the fresh air mode is automatically activated to optimize air quality. Simultaneously, the airflow angle is adjusted based on location data obtained from the millimeter-wave radar 25 to avoid noise interference. Preset animations and display parameters are updated, and the display component 4 is controlled to update its display and operation as follows: The display component 4 displays a cool-toned dynamic light effect, gradually transitioning from light blue to dark blue, with color saturation increasing with work intensity to create a focused work atmosphere. Preferably, the preset light effect is a dynamic "light focusing" or "thought flow" effect, symbolizing focus and thought. The light transmittance remains high, the glass screen is nearly transparent, and the displayed content is work-related data. If the duration of the behavior scenario exceeds a preset duration, a corresponding prompt is sent: for example, if the work is prolonged, a text prompt such as "It is recommended to rest for 5 minutes to protect your eyesight" is displayed.

[0063] For example, the system can identify the user's posture data based on the image data acquired by camera 24 to determine that the user is asleep. Alternatively, the system can identify the user's posture data based on the image data acquired by camera 24 and combine it with the location data acquired by millimeter-wave radar 25 to determine that the user is asleep, thus identifying the current behavior scene as a sleep behavior scene. The displayed content is then updated. The sleep behavior scene uses the same preset animation as the night mode, but the brightness of the first transparent display unit 421 and the second transparent display unit 422 is controlled based on the brightness data corresponding to the sleep behavior scene to reduce the brightness of the displayed content.

[0064] In sleep-related scenarios, if the location data acquired by the millimeter-wave radar 25 determines that the user is getting up at night, the system controls the brightness of the first transparent display unit 421 and / or the second transparent display unit 422 closer to the user's location to increase the brightness of the area. It also updates and controls the third electrochromic glass unit 413 to operate according to preset color parameters corresponding to the nighttime state, causing the display components to display a warm color tone. Simultaneously, the system can determine the user's position based on the location data and display anthropomorphic expressions such as blinking or yawning in the direction the user is facing to awaken their attention.

[0065] If the result of step S4 is negative, proceed to step S5 to determine whether instruction data has been acquired. If yes, proceed to step S6 to update the display content based on the real-time acquired object data, and then continue to step S2. The transparent display unit of display component 4 displays the updated content, and the photochromic glass unit operates according to the updated display parameters. Otherwise, return to step S3.

[0066] The instruction data includes at least one of behavioral instructions, voice instructions, and input instructions. Behavioral instructions include gestures, which can be recognized from image data acquired by camera 24. Following the steps of controlling the transparent display unit to display according to the display content and controlling the electrochromic glass to operate according to the display parameters, the process includes acquiring instruction data and identifying the display content and display parameters corresponding to the instruction data.

[0067] Under this control, the system will not only respond to the instructions, but also provide visual feedback through the display component 4. For example, after the user issues a gesture to indicate cooling by swinging the hand downwards, the air conditioner will control the operating parameters to cool down, and the display component 4 will display "Received" or any user-defined text and / or voice message indicating "Received", while displaying screens or screen groups related to cooling down or based on the current temperature data.

[0068] Similarly, depending on the different operating modes, time periods, behavioral scenarios, or whether instruction data has been received, the corresponding preset lighting effects are determined, and the light strip 5 is controlled to light up according to the preset lighting effects.
