[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the linkage control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The linkage control method of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to pet raising equipment, such as automatic feeders and pet purifiers, to adjust the irradiation area to ensure that pets have sufficient sunlight time. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps S100 to S120.

[0029] S100: Real-time detection of whether the current time period is within the linkage working time period.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pet care device can be a pet purifier. In addition to its basic purification function, it can also be linked with other devices to provide pet care, such as curtain devices and fresh air systems. The linkage between the pet care device and the curtain device can provide purification for pets while ensuring that the pets get enough sunlight every day. The linkage between the pet care device and the fresh air system can further enhance the purification effect and ensure fresh indoor air.

[0031] Generally, pets' activity range is the living room, so the pet care device can be placed in the living room and connected to the curtain device, making it easy to control the curtain device through the pet care device. In addition, the pet care device is equipped with a camera to capture the indoor environment and the pet, making it easy to follow the pet's movements and confirm the pet's location and status.

[0032] The linked operating time period refers to the time period during which the pet care device and the curtain device are linked. During this time period, the pet care device can adjust the opening of the curtain device to adjust the area of ​​the illuminated area based on actual conditions. The linked operating time period can be set by the user, such as setting the linked operating time period from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM or from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. It is understood that there can be multiple linked operating time periods per day, such as one each for the morning and afternoon.

[0033] After being started, the pet raising device will confirm in real time whether it is currently in the linkage working time period. If it is not in the linkage working time period, the pet raising device can perform basic functions such as feeding and purification functions. If the current time period is in the linkage working time period, the linkage curtain device will start working to ensure the pet's sunlight time.

[0034] S110: If the current time period is within the linkage working time period, the curtain device is activated to generate an irradiation area.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the current time period is a linked operating time period, the curtain device can be activated and the degree of opening of the curtain device can be adjusted to create an illuminated area. The degree of opening of the curtain device can be preset to half open and half closed, in which case half of the area is illuminated and half is shaded. The pet's activity area can then be observed to determine whether it is in the illuminated area or the shaded area.

[0036] To determine whether a pet is within an illuminated area, a comprehensive analysis of image brightness characteristics and spatiotemporal linkage is used. For example, after the camera captures an image of the environment, it analyzes pixel brightness values ​​using an image processing algorithm. Pixel brightness in sunny areas is typically higher than in shaded areas (e.g., exceeding a preset brightness threshold V1). Based on this, the system divides the image into "high-brightness areas" (sunlight areas) and "low-brightness areas" (shade areas). Objects in sunny areas (such as floors and pet hair) have higher color saturation, while shaded areas appear grayer. The camera further distinguishes zone boundaries by identifying color channels (such as R / G / B values ​​in RGB or V values ​​in HSV). The purifier obtains the current time through the Internet and, combined with geographic coordinates (or the user's preset house orientation), pre-establishes a "time period-sunlight zone" mapping. For example: 7:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Sunlight primarily illuminates the east side of the living room; 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Sunlight primarily illuminates the west side of the living room. Based on the current time, the camera marks a preset "theoretical sun zone" in the image and then matches it with the actual captured brightness characteristics to calibrate the zone divisions. Curtain status linkage: When the smart curtains are in a half-open state (half shade, half sun), the camera can directly determine the physical shadow area by the opening and closing position of the curtains. For example: when the curtains are half-open, the area blocked by the translucent curtains is the shade area, and the unblocked part is the sun area. The camera uses target detection algorithms (such as YOLO, SSD) to identify the pet's outline and calculate its coordinate range in the image. If the overlapping area of ​​the pet's outline and the "high-brightness sun area" exceeds a preset ratio (such as 30%), it is determined to be in the sun-exposed area; conversely, if it overlaps more with the "low-brightness shade area", it is determined to be shaded.

[0037] S120: Observe in real time whether the pet moves within the irradiated area.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present invention, "a pet's activities in the illuminated area" refer to the pet playing, moving, or resting in the illuminated area. When the curtain device is open, the indoor environment is typically divided into an illuminated area and a shaded area. The illuminated area refers to the area illuminated by sunlight, and the shaded area refers to the area not illuminated by sunlight. The areas of the illuminated and shaded areas change as the curtain device is opened. For example, when the curtain device is halfway open, the illuminated and shaded areas are equal in area, each occupying 50%. It will be understood that depending on the type and installation location of the curtain device, when the curtain device is fully opened, it cannot guarantee that the room is completely illuminated by sunlight. In this case, the area of ​​the shaded area is not zero.

[0039] When there are both illuminated areas and shaded areas indoors, the pet's preferred area can be observed. If the pet prefers the shaded area, the pet will move in the shaded area. If the pet prefers the illuminated area, the pet will move in the illuminated area.

[0040] S130: If it is detected that the pet moves within the irradiated area, the opening degree of the curtain device is adjusted to adjust the area of ​​the irradiated area.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a pet is detected moving within the illuminated area, indicating that the pet's preferred area is the illuminated area, the curtain device's opening degree can be adjusted to adjust the size of the illuminated area to ensure that the illuminated area follows the pet's movements. For example, if the curtain device is currently open at 50% and the pet is moving within the illuminated area, the pet's preferred area is confirmed to be the illuminated area. The curtain device's opening degree can be adjusted to ensure that the illuminated area follows the pet's movements. If the pet moves outside the illuminated area, the curtain device's opening degree can be increased to expand the area of ​​the illuminated area, allowing the illuminated area to follow the pet. Furthermore, if the pet is detected to have moved outside the illuminated area multiple times, it can be confirmed that the pet's preference has changed from the illuminated area to the shaded area. In this case, the pet's preference can be stopped and the area of ​​the illuminated area can be reduced.

[0042] The following describes this using a specific scenario.

[0043] When the user leaves home (e.g., at 9:00 AM), the pet care device connects to the internet to obtain the current time and activates the curtains only during the following time periods: 7:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM (avoiding strong sunlight). The curtains are initially set to half-open (1 / 2 shade, 1 / 2 sun). If the pet moves within the illuminated area, the camera detects the pet's preferred illuminated area for 10 consecutive minutes, and adjusts the curtain opening to ensure the illuminated area follows the pet.

[0044] In certain embodiments, for example, in embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the linkage control method further includes steps S140-S143.

[0045] S140, detecting in real time the activity time of the pet in the irradiated area;

[0046] S141, if the activity time is greater than a first preset time, reducing the opening degree of the curtain device to reduce the area of ​​the irradiation area so that the pet is located outside the irradiation area;

[0047] S142, if it is detected that the pet re-enters the irradiated area, recording the additional activity time of the pet in the irradiated area;

[0048] S143: Update the first preset time according to the additional activity time.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a pet is active in the irradiated area, the activity time of the pet in the irradiated area is recorded. When the activity time is greater than a first preset threshold, the opening degree of the curtain device is adjusted to reduce the area of ​​the irradiated area. By reducing the area of ​​the irradiated area, the pet is placed outside the irradiated area.

[0050] The first preset threshold is an empirical value, which is set according to different pet types. For example, cats generally require 30 minutes of sunlight per day, while dogs generally require 90 minutes per day. This value can be adjusted according to the specific breed. For example, if a cat spends more than 30 minutes in the irradiation area, the area of ​​the irradiation area can be reduced to prevent the cat from being exposed to sunlight for too long.

[0051] When the area of ​​the illuminated area is reduced so that the pet is outside the illuminated area, it is possible to observe in real time whether the pet re-enters the illuminated area. If the pet re-enters the illuminated area, the area of ​​the illuminated area can be further reduced to keep the pet outside the illuminated area. If the area of ​​the illuminated area is reduced multiple times and the pet still actively enters the illuminated area, the area of ​​the illuminated area will not be reduced and the additional activity time of the pet in the illuminated area will be recorded. The additional activity time refers to the time exceeding a first preset threshold. For example, if the pet's activity time in the illuminated area exceeds 30 minutes, the activity time exceeding 30 minutes is recorded, such as 5 minutes, and the first preset time can be updated to dynamically adjust the first preset time.

[0052] In certain embodiments, for example, in embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the linkage control method further includes steps S150-S152.

[0053] S150, if the pet is detected to be active in the shaded area, determining whether the activity time of the pet in the irradiated area is greater than a first preset time;

[0054] S151, if the activity time of the pet in the irradiated area is greater than the first preset time, maintaining the opening degree of the curtain device at the lowest gear;

[0055] S152: If the activity time of the pet in the irradiation area is less than or equal to the first preset time, increase the opening degree of the curtain device to expand the irradiation area so that the pet is located in the irradiation area.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a pet is detected entering a shaded area, it indicates that the pet's preference at this time is a shaded area. To ensure that the pet has sufficient sunlight time, it can be confirmed whether the pet's activity time in the irradiated area is sufficient, that is, whether the pet's activity time in the irradiated area is greater than a first preset time. If the pet's activity time in the irradiated area is greater than the first preset time, the opening degree of the curtain device can be maintained at the lowest gear, such as opening the curtain device by one-third or one-quarter, to ensure that most of the indoor environment is a shaded area, but a small area is retained as an irradiated area.

[0057] If the pet's activity time within the illuminated area today is less than or equal to a first preset time, the curtain device can be opened more widely to increase the illuminated area, thereby keeping the pet within the illuminated area and ensuring the pet's exposure time. If the pet's activity time within the illuminated area reaches the first preset time, the curtain device can be opened less widely. If the pet actively moves from the illuminated area to a shaded area, and the pet's activity time within the illuminated area is less than the first preset time, the illuminated area can be increased. If the pet moves from the illuminated area to the shaded area multiple times, the illuminated area will no longer be increased as the pet moves, once the pet has met the minimum exposure time.

[0058] Furthermore, when a pet is in a cool, shady area, the device can check the wetness of the pet's fur in real time. If the pet's fur is very wet, the drying function can be activated. While playing, pets may touch objects such as watering cups, causing their fur to become wet. Alternatively, if the indoor environment is humid due to weather, the pet's fur may become wet due to contact with leaking walls or floors. Specifically, the pet care device uses a camera to detect whether the pet is shaking, and a humidity sensor to detect whether the current humidity level is high. If the pet is shaking and the humidity level is high, the device confirms that the pet requires drying. The device can approach the pet and increase the air temperature to dry the pet's fur. The air temperature decreases as the humidity level drops to prevent discomfort from high temperatures. If the humidity level reaches normal or the pet repeatedly moves away, the drying function is turned off and Smart Follow mode is activated. In addition, when the pet is shaking, you can stay away from the pet's activity area and enter the pet's inactive area to detect the humidity value. If the humidity value is high, it means that the environment is relatively humid and you need to blow-dry the pet's hair multiple times. You can blow-dry the pet's hair periodically. If the humidity value is low, it means that the pet's hair has become wet due to situations such as accidentally knocking over a water cup, then you only need to blow-dry the pet's hair once.

[0059] In certain embodiments, for example, in embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the linkage control method further includes steps S160-S162.

[0060] S160, under the control of a follow-up instruction for following the pet, detecting the odor value of the area where the pet is located in real time;

[0061] S161, if the odor value is greater than a first preset threshold, starting a fresh air system to purify the odor;

[0062] S162: If it is detected that the period during which the odor value is greater than the first preset threshold value is shortened, an early warning message is output to remind the user to clean the pet.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to operating in conjunction with a curtain device, the pet care device can also operate in conjunction with a fresh air system, such as a fresh air air conditioner. When the pet care device enters smart follow mode, it will detect the odor level in the area where the pet is located in real time. If the odor level exceeds a first preset threshold, the fresh air system will be activated and activated to purify the odor. Furthermore, the pet care device can enter areas where pets are not active to detect odor levels and confirm whether the odor is being emitted by a pet. If the odor level in the non-pet activity area is low, it indicates that the source of the odor is a pet.

[0064] After the odor value is lowered by the fresh air system, if the odor value is detected to be increased again, it is confirmed whether the interval between the two odor value detections is shortened. If it is shortened, it indicates that the pet is dirty, and an early warning message can be sent to the user's smart terminal to remind the user to clean the pet in time.

[0065] The linkage control method disclosed in the present invention can start the curtain device during the linkage working period to generate an irradiation area, which is a sunlight irradiation area, and then confirm whether the pet is active in the irradiation area. When the pet is active in the irradiation area, the opening degree of the curtain device is adjusted to adjust the area of ​​the irradiation area so that the irradiation area follows the pet, thereby ensuring that the pet enjoys sufficient sunlight time without affecting the pet's activities.
