Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a method and device for controlling an air conditioner function mode, an air conditioner device, and a medium. Background Art

[0002] With technological advancements and rising living standards, air conditioners have evolved from simple cooling and heating functions to household appliances with a variety of intelligent and user-friendly features. To meet user needs in diverse scenarios, such as nighttime comfort, energy conservation and environmental protection requirements, and concerns about air quality after long-term use, air conditioners have gradually introduced various functional modes such as timing, internal cleaning, and sleep mode to optimize the user experience. The addition of these additional functions has made air conditioner operation increasingly complex, placing higher demands on user interaction methods.

[0003] Currently, the function mode settings of air conditioners mainly rely on physical remote controls or panel button operations. Users manually select through the function keys on the remote control (such as "mode", "timing", "sleep", etc.). Although some high-end models support APP remote control, users still need to click on the settings step by step on the interface. For functions that need to be configured in advance, such as timing and cleaning reminders, users need to enter a specific menu to enter parameters; and for immediate functions such as sleep mode, they need to be manually switched when the machine is on.

[0004] However, this button- or touchscreen-based setup method is cumbersome and user-unfriendly for functions that require multiple button presses or touchscreen operations, such as timer settings, and can easily lead to setting errors due to misoperation. Furthermore, the existing setup method lacks scenario-based linkage, requiring users to manually combine multiple functions, such as sleep mode and timed shutoff. This method cannot intelligently adjust to user habits or environmental changes, limiting the intelligent air conditioning experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides an air conditioning function mode control method, device, air conditioning equipment and medium, which are used to solve the defects of the existing technology that the function setting steps are cumbersome and prone to errors. Through proactive and thoughtful suggestions, complex technical functions are presented to users in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and users are given the final confirmation right, which simplifies the operation process and ensures that the entire intelligent process is both efficient and safe.

[0006] The present invention provides an air conditioner function mode control method, comprising: obtaining an air conditioner operation state and an indoor environment state; determining a function mode to be configured according to the air conditioner operation state and the indoor environment state, and sending a function configuration request to a user according to the function mode to be configured; when a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within a first target time, starting the function mode configuration, and based on the configuration ending, controlling the air conditioner operation according to the configured function mode.

[0007] It should be noted that by simultaneously obtaining the air conditioner operating status and indoor environmental status, the control is no longer blind, but is based on a scientific judgment of the current real environment. It is further combined with the air conditioner operating status and the indoor environmental status to actively judge the functions to be configured, and then send a function configuration request to the user based on the function items to be configured. Through proactive and thoughtful suggestions, complex technical functions are presented to users in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, so that users can decide whether to accept the request based on the suggestions, which greatly enhances the user's sense of trust and security, avoids the bad experience caused by algorithm misjudgment, and avoids the situation where the voice recognition judgment is inaccurate due to the jamming during user voice control, resulting in poor voice recognition accuracy. By giving the user the final confirmation right, it cleverly balances the relationship between automation and humanity, intelligence and controllability, simplifies the operating process, and ensures that the entire intelligent process is both efficient and safe.

[0008] According to the present invention, a method for controlling an air conditioner function mode is provided, which determines a function mode to be configured according to the air conditioner operation state and the indoor environment state, including: when it is determined that the air conditioner operation state has changed, based on the fact that the indoor environment state has not changed, determining that the function mode to be configured is a timing function mode; when it is determined that the air conditioner operation state has changed, based on the fact that the indoor environment state has changed, and determining that the changed environment state is that the light intensity is lower than a preset intensity threshold, determining that the function mode to be configured is a sleep function mode.

[0009] It should be added that when the air conditioner operating status changes and the indoor environment status does not change, the system learns the user's usage habits and, after the status changes, determines that the user may need timing, thereby guiding the user to set the timing function mode; when the air conditioner operating status changes and the indoor environment status changes, when it is detected that the indoor light intensity is lower than the intensity threshold, it predicts that the user is about to sleep, thereby guiding the user to set the sleep mode, making the interaction more natural and seamless.

[0010] According to the present invention, a method for controlling an air conditioner function mode is provided, in which the function mode to be configured is a timed function mode, and when a confirmation instruction returned by a user based on a function configuration request is determined to be received within a first target time, the function mode configuration is started, comprising: when a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is determined to be received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is started, and according to the start time of the air conditioner operation state before the air conditioner operation state changes and the end time when the air conditioner operation state changes, the air conditioner is automatically started and the air conditioner operation is controlled according to the air conditioner operation state before the change, so as to configure the timed function mode; The function mode to be configured is the sleep function mode, and when it is determined that the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, which also includes: when it is determined that the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, and a sleep timing request is sent to the user based on the user's usage habits, or a sleep timing inquiry is sent to the user; when it is determined that the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the sleep timing request is received within the third target time, or the set time returned by the user based on the sleep timing inquiry is received within the third target time, the sleep function mode is configured to be turned on at a scheduled time according to the timing time in the sleep timing request or the received set time.

[0011] It should be noted that by confirming the function configuration request, the system accurately replicates the user's current desired comfort state, fundamentally eliminating configuration errors caused by repeated manual input. This simplifies a complex, multi-step operation into a single confirmation step, achieving one-click intelligent configuration. This improves system reliability and user trust, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for users, making it easy for even elderly users unfamiliar with technology to complete the task, thus enhancing the product's universality. Furthermore, by receiving a confirmation instruction within the first target time to enable sleep mode configuration, and then sending a sleep timer request to the user to confirm whether to configure the sleep mode, or obtaining a sleep set time from the user, flexible interactive options are provided. This ensures a positive user experience for both new and experienced users, with fixed or changing habits, and broadens the product's applicability. Furthermore, the two-step confirmation mechanism breaks down a complex sleep mode configuration task into two simple confirmation steps, avoiding confusion or misoperation caused by users making too many choices within a single interface. This ensures that users always have the final say throughout the entire process, making the entire process clear, transparent, and controllable, making them more willing to accept the system's intelligent recommendations.

[0012] According to the present invention, a method for controlling an air conditioner function mode is provided. The method determines a function mode to be configured according to an air conditioner operation state and an indoor environment state, and further includes: when it is determined that the air conditioner operation state has changed, based on that the indoor environment state has not changed, determining that the time interval for previously starting the internal cleaning function is greater than a preset number of days, and determining that the function mode to be configured is the internal cleaning function mode; when the function mode to be configured is the internal cleaning function mode, determining that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within a first target time, turning on the function mode configuration, and further includes: when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, turning on the function mode configuration; based on that the air conditioner is in cooling mode, sending an internal cleaning request to the user; wherein the internal cleaning request includes internal cleaning parameters; when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within a fourth target time, or when no confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fourth target time, configuring the internal cleaning function mode according to the internal cleaning request; when it is determined that a cleaning requirement returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fourth target time, configuring the internal cleaning function mode according to the cleaning requirement.

[0013] It should be noted that if the air conditioner's operating status changes and the indoor environment remains unchanged, if the interval between previously enabling the internal cleaning function exceeds a preset number of days, this triggers a cleaning operation. This ensures that maintenance requests are only issued when they are truly needed, avoiding unnecessary reminders and interruptions. Furthermore, if the air conditioner is in cooling mode and receives a confirmation instruction from the user based on the function configuration request within the first target time, an internal cleaning request is sent to the user. Based on the user's confirmation instruction, any untimely confirmation, or any cleaning requests that require adjustment to the cleaning function, the corresponding internal cleaning function mode is configured. This respects the user's personalized needs and transforms a previously cumbersome internal cleaning operation into a simple, safe, and efficient one.

[0014] According to the present invention, a method for controlling an air conditioner function mode is provided, in which the function mode to be configured is an internal cleaning function mode, and the function mode configuration is started when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time. The method also includes: starting the function mode configuration when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time; sending an internal cleaning request to the user based on the air conditioner being in heating mode; wherein the internal cleaning request includes internal cleaning parameters; configuring the internal cleaning function mode according to the internal cleaning request when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fifth target time, or when no confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fifth target time; and stopping the function mode configuration when it is determined that a rejection instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fifth target time.

[0015] It should be added that in heating mode, since heating itself can evaporate the water vapor after cleaning, internal cleaning only includes cleaning. If a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, an internal cleaning request will be sent to the user to confirm whether to configure the internal cleaning function mode of the air conditioner based on the user's response, and the decision-making power is given to the user. The user can make the most suitable choice according to the actual situation, which greatly enhances the user's sense of security and trust in the equipment.

[0016] According to the air conditioning function mode control method provided by the present invention, the function mode to be configured is determined according to the air conditioning operation state and the indoor environment state, and also includes: when it is determined that the changed environmental state is that the air quality is lower than a preset quality threshold, the function mode to be configured is determined to be an air purification function mode; if the function mode to be configured is the air purification function mode, it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, and the function mode configuration is also included: when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, and the air purification function mode is automatically turned on according to the air quality being lower than the preset quality threshold.

[0017] It should be noted that when the air quality is lower than the preset quality threshold, the air quality is poor. At this time, the function mode to be configured is determined to be the air purification function mode, so that when the air quality is subsequently lower than the preset quality threshold, the air purification function can be turned on in time to block harmful substances from the indoor environment in time, thereby greatly improving the indoor air quality and the user's health protection level. In addition, by configuring the air purification function mode in a timely manner when the user confirms the configuration, the air purification function can be turned on in time during the subsequent operation of the air conditioner to eliminate pollution before the pollution affects the user's health, greatly improving the user's convenience in terms of air quality issues.

[0018] According to an air conditioning function mode control method provided by the present invention, after sending a function configuration request to a user according to the function mode to be configured, the method includes: stopping the function mode configuration when determining that no confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within a first target time, or when a rejection instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time.

[0019] It should be noted that when the user explicitly returns a rejection instruction, the system immediately stops configuration to avoid not processing the request when the user is busy, distracted or temporarily does not understand and is unable to respond immediately, and to avoid the situation where the user's silent behavior is accepted as a default. The initiative is returned to the user, allowing the user to initiate the request again when it is convenient and necessary, thereby protecting the user's attention and avoiding information overload.

[0020] The present invention also provides an air-conditioning function mode control device, including: a status acquisition module, which acquires the air-conditioning operation status and indoor environment status; a configuration request module, which determines the function mode to be configured according to the air-conditioning operation status and indoor environment status, and sends a function configuration request to the user according to the function mode to be configured; a configuration control module, which determines that when a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within a first target time, the function mode configuration is started, and based on the configuration end, the air-conditioning operation is controlled according to the configured function mode.

[0021] It should be noted that the status acquisition module simultaneously obtains the air conditioner operation status and indoor environment status, so that the control is no longer blind, but based on the scientific judgment of the current real environment, and uses the configuration request module to further combine the air conditioner operation status and indoor environment status to actively judge the functions to be configured, and then send function configuration requests to users based on the function items to be configured. Through proactive and thoughtful suggestions, complex technical functions are presented to users in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, so that users can decide whether to accept the request based on the suggestions, which greatly enhances the user's sense of trust and security, avoids the bad experience caused by algorithm misjudgment, and avoids the situation where the voice recognition judgment is inaccurate due to the jamming during user voice control, resulting in poor voice recognition accuracy. By giving users the final confirmation right, it cleverly balances the relationship between automation and humanity, intelligence and controllability, simplifies the operation process, and ensures that the entire intelligent process is both efficient and safe.

[0022] The present invention also provides an air-conditioning device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the processor executes the computer program, the steps of any of the above-described air-conditioning function mode control methods are implemented.

[0023] The present invention also provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of any of the above-described air conditioning function mode control methods.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The following combination Figure 1 A flow chart illustrating a method for controlling an air conditioner function mode according to the present invention is provided. The method comprises: S11, obtaining the air conditioner operation status and indoor environment status; S12, determining a function mode to be configured according to the air conditioner operating state and the indoor environment state, and sending a function configuration request to the user according to the function mode to be configured; S13, when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is started, and based on the configuration completion, the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the configured function mode.

[0028] It should be noted that the execution subject of this manual is the control system of the air conditioner. The step numbers "S1N" in this manual do not represent the order of the air conditioner function mode control method. Figure 2-Figure 4 The air conditioner function mode control method of the present invention is described.

[0029] Step S11, obtaining the air conditioner operation status and indoor environment status.

[0030] It should be noted that the air conditioner operating status is used to characterize the actual operating conditions of the air conditioner, such as start, stop, etc., and the indoor environment status is used to characterize the indoor environment conditions. By using the air conditioner operating status and the indoor environment status, it is convenient to timely understand the air conditioner operating status and the environment, so as to facilitate the subsequent timely triggering of the corresponding function mode control.

[0031] Step S12: determining a function mode to be configured according to the air conditioner operation state and the indoor environment state, and sending a function configuration request to the user according to the function mode to be configured.

[0032] In this embodiment, the function mode to be configured is determined based on the air conditioner operating status and the indoor environment status, including: when it is determined that the air conditioner operating status has changed, based on the fact that the indoor environment status has not changed, the function mode to be configured is determined to be the timing function mode; when it is determined that the air conditioner operating status has changed, based on the fact that the indoor environment status has changed, and when it is determined that the changed environment status is that the light is lower than a preset intensity threshold, the function mode to be configured is determined to be the sleep function mode.

[0033] It should be added that when the air conditioner operating status changes and the indoor environment status does not change, the system learns the user's usage habits and, after the status changes, determines that the user may need timing, thereby guiding the user to set the timing function mode; when the air conditioner operating status changes and the indoor environment status changes, when it is detected that the indoor light intensity is lower than the intensity threshold, it predicts that the user is about to sleep, thereby guiding the user to set the sleep mode, making the interaction more natural and seamless.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the function mode to be configured is determined based on the air conditioner operating status and the indoor environmental status, and also includes: when it is determined that the air conditioner operating status has changed, based on the fact that the indoor environmental status has not changed, it is determined that the time interval for previously turning on the internal cleaning function is greater than a preset number of days, and the function mode to be configured is determined to be the internal cleaning function mode.

[0035] It should be noted that when the operating status of the air conditioner changes and the indoor environment status does not change, if the time interval for turning on the internal cleaning function is greater than the preset number of days, it means that cleaning needs to be triggered so that a request is issued only when maintenance is really needed, avoiding unnecessary reminders and interruptions.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, determining the function mode to be configured based on the air conditioner operating status and the indoor environmental status also includes: when determining that the changed environmental status is that the air quality is lower than a preset quality threshold, determining that the function mode to be configured is the air purification function mode.

[0037] It should be noted that when the air quality is lower than the preset quality threshold, the air quality is poor. At this time, the function mode to be configured is determined to be the air purification function mode, so that when the air quality is lower than the preset quality threshold in the future, the air purification function can be turned on in time to block harmful substances from the indoor environment in time, thereby greatly improving the indoor air quality and the user's health protection level.

[0038] Furthermore, before determining that the changed environmental state is that the air quality is lower than a preset quality threshold, it includes: detecting the concentration of fine particulate matter PM2.5 or CO2 to obtain the air quality.

[0039] Step S13: when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is started, and based on the configuration completion, the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the configured function mode.

[0040] In this embodiment, reference Figure 2 The function mode to be configured is a timing function mode. When it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, including: when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, and according to the start time of the air conditioning operation status before the air conditioning operation status changes and the end time when the air conditioning operation status changes, the air conditioner is automatically turned on and the air conditioner operation is controlled according to the air conditioning operation status before the change, so as to configure the timing function mode.

[0041] It should be noted that by confirming the function configuration request through the user, the user's current desired comfort state can be accurately reproduced, fundamentally eliminating the configuration errors caused by manual repeated input, and simplifying a complex multi-step operation into a single-step confirmation operation, realizing one-click intelligent configuration, improving the reliability of the system and user trust, and greatly lowering the user's usage threshold. Even elderly users who are unfamiliar with technological products can easily complete it, thereby improving the universality of the product.

[0042] In addition, reference Figure 3 The function mode to be configured is the sleep function mode, and when it is determined that the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, and it also includes: when it is determined that the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, and a sleep timing request is sent to the user based on the user's usage habits, or a sleep timing inquiry is sent to the user; when it is determined that the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the sleep timing request is received within the third target time, or the set time returned by the user based on the sleep timing inquiry is received within the third target time, the sleep function mode is configured to be turned on at a scheduled time according to the timing time in the sleep timing request or the received set time.

[0043] It should be noted that by receiving a confirmation instruction within the first target time, the sleep function mode configuration is enabled, and a sleep timing request is sent to the user to confirm whether to configure the sleep function mode, or the sleep setting time is obtained from the user, so as to provide flexible interactive choices. This ensures that no matter whether the user is new or old, and whether the habits are fixed or changeable, they can get a good user experience, which enhances the applicability of the product. Through the two-confirmation mechanism, a complex sleep function mode configuration task is decomposed into two simple confirmation steps, avoiding confusion or misoperation caused by too many choices in one interface, ensuring that the user always has the final decision-making power throughout the entire process, making the user feel that the entire process is clear, transparent and controllable, and thus more willing to accept the system's intelligent recommendations.

[0044] Furthermore, sending a sleep timing request to the user based on the user's usage habits includes: obtaining the user's usage habits and predicting the user's sleep time; determining the timing of the sleep mode according to the predicted user's sleep time, and generating a sleep timing request to send to the user for confirmation.

[0045] In an alternative embodiment, reference Figure 4 , the function mode to be configured is the internal cleaning function mode, and when it is determined that the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, and it also includes: when it is determined that the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on; based on the air conditioner being in cooling mode, an internal cleaning request is sent to the user; wherein the internal cleaning request includes internal cleaning parameters; when it is determined that the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fourth target time, or when the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is not received within the fourth target time, the internal cleaning function mode is configured according to the internal cleaning request; when it is determined that the cleaning requirement returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fourth target time, the internal cleaning function mode is configured according to the cleaning requirement.

[0046] It should be noted that when the confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, if the air conditioner is in cooling mode, an internal cleaning request is sent to the user, and the corresponding internal cleaning function mode is configured according to the confirmation instruction returned by the user, the cleaning requirements that are not confirmed in time or need to be adjusted for the cleaning function, so as to respect the user's personalized needs and make an originally cumbersome internal cleaning operation simple, safe and efficient.

[0047] Furthermore, in cooling mode, interior cleaning includes cleaning and post-cleaning drying. Based on the air conditioner being in cooling mode, an interior cleaning request is sent to the user. This includes predicting corresponding interior cleaning parameters based on the user's cleaning habits and generating an interior cleaning request. After the user confirms the cleaning request or fails to confirm it promptly, the air conditioner's interior cleaning is controlled based on the predicted interior cleaning parameters. Furthermore, after the interior cleaning request is sent to the user, the user may make additional adjustments based on the current interior cleaning request, such as eliminating the need for post-cleaning drying. Therefore, the interior cleaning function mode can be adjusted in a timely manner by responding to the interior cleaning request and returning the cleaning requirements, thereby making the interior cleaning function more tailored to the user's actual needs.

[0048] In another alternative embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 4 , the function mode to be configured is the internal cleaning function mode, and when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, and it also includes: when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on; based on the air conditioner being in heating mode, an internal cleaning request is sent to the user; wherein the internal cleaning request includes internal cleaning parameters; when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fifth target time, or when no confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fifth target time, the internal cleaning function mode is configured according to the internal cleaning request; when it is determined that a rejection instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fifth target time, the function mode configuration is stopped.

[0049] It should be added that in heating mode, since heating itself can evaporate the water vapor after cleaning, internal cleaning only includes cleaning. If a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, an internal cleaning request will be sent to the user to confirm whether to configure the internal cleaning function mode of the air conditioner based on the user's response, and the decision-making power is given to the user. The user can make the most suitable choice according to the actual situation, which greatly enhances the user's sense of security and trust in the equipment.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the function mode to be configured is an air purification function mode, and when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on. It also includes: when it is determined that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, the function mode configuration is turned on, and the air purification function mode is automatically turned on according to the air quality being lower than the preset quality threshold.

[0051] It should be noted that by configuring the air purification function mode in a timely manner when the user confirms the configuration, the air purification function can be turned on in time during the subsequent operation of the air conditioner to eliminate pollution before the pollution affects the user's health, which greatly improves the user's convenience in air quality issues.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, after sending a function configuration request to the user according to the function mode to be configured, it includes: determining that no confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, or receiving a rejection instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request within the first target time, stopping the function mode configuration.

[0053] It should be noted that when the user explicitly returns a rejection instruction, the system immediately stops configuration to avoid not processing the request when the user is busy, distracted or temporarily does not understand and is unable to respond immediately, and to avoid the situation where the user's silent behavior is accepted as a default. The initiative is returned to the user, allowing the user to initiate the request again when it is convenient and necessary, thereby protecting the user's attention and avoiding information overload.

[0054] To sum up, the embodiment of the present invention obtains the air conditioner operation status and indoor environment status at the same time, so that the control is no longer blind, but is based on the scientific judgment of the current real environment, and further combines the air conditioner operation status and indoor environment status to actively judge the function to be configured, and then sends a function configuration request to the user based on the function item to be configured. Through proactive and thoughtful suggestions, complex technical functions are presented to the user in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, so that the user can decide whether to accept the request based on the suggestions, which greatly enhances the user's sense of trust and security, avoids the bad experience caused by algorithm misjudgment, and avoids the situation where the voice recognition judgment is inaccurate due to the jamming during user voice control, resulting in poor voice recognition accuracy. By giving the user the final confirmation right, it cleverly balances the relationship between automation and humanity, intelligence and controllability, simplifies the operation process, and ensures that the entire intelligent process is both efficient and safe.

[0055] The air conditioning function mode control device provided by the present invention is described below. The air conditioning function mode control device described below and the air conditioning function mode control method described above can be referenced to each other.

[0056] Figure 5 The figure shows a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner function mode control device, which includes: The state acquisition module 51 acquires the air conditioner operation state and indoor environment state; The configuration request module 52 determines the function mode to be configured according to the air conditioner operation state and the indoor environment state, and sends a function configuration request to the user according to the function mode to be configured; The configuration control module 53 starts the function mode configuration when it determines that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, and controls the air conditioner to operate according to the configured function mode based on the configuration completion.

[0057] In this embodiment, the configuration request module 52 is used to: when it is determined that the operating state of the air conditioner has changed, based on the fact that the indoor environmental state has not changed, determine that the function mode to be configured is the timing function mode; when it is determined that the operating state of the air conditioner has changed, based on the fact that the indoor environmental state has changed, and when it is determined that the changed environmental state is that the light is lower than a preset intensity threshold, determine that the function mode to be configured is the sleep function mode.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the configuration request module 52 is also used to: determine that when the air-conditioning operating state changes, based on the fact that the indoor environment state has not changed, determine that the time interval for previously turning on the internal cleaning function is greater than a preset number of days, and determine that the function mode to be configured is the internal cleaning function mode.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the configuration request module 52 is further configured to: when it is determined that the changed environmental state is that the air quality is lower than a preset quality threshold, determine that the function mode to be configured is the air purification function mode.

[0060] Furthermore, the device also includes: a detection module, which detects the concentration of fine particulate matter PM2.5 or CO2 to obtain the air quality before determining that the changed environmental state is that the air quality is lower than a preset quality threshold.

[0061] In this embodiment, the function mode to be configured is a timing function mode, and the configuration control module 53 is used to: determine when a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, start the function mode configuration, and configure the air conditioner to automatically start according to the start time of the air conditioner operation status before the air conditioner operation status changes and the end time when the air conditioner operation status changes, and control the air conditioner operation according to the air conditioner operation status before the change, so as to configure the timing function mode.

[0062] In addition, the function mode to be configured is the sleep function mode, and the configuration control module 53 is also used to: determine that when a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, start the function mode configuration, and send a sleep timing request to the user based on the user's usage habits, or send a sleep timing inquiry to the user; determine that when a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the sleep timing request is received within the third target time, or a set time returned by the user based on the sleep timing inquiry is received within the third target time, configure the timed start of the sleep function mode according to the timing time in the sleep timing request or the received set time.

[0063] Furthermore, the configuration control module 53 is also used to: obtain user usage habits and predict the user's sleep time; determine the timing of the sleep mode according to the predicted user's sleep time, and generate a sleep timing request to send to the user for confirmation.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, the function mode to be configured is an internal cleaning function mode, and the configuration control module 53 is further used to: determine that when a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, start the function mode configuration; based on the air conditioner being in cooling mode, send an internal cleaning request to the user; wherein the internal cleaning request includes internal cleaning parameters; determine that when a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fourth target time, or when no confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fourth target time, configure the internal cleaning function mode according to the internal cleaning request; determine that when a cleaning requirement returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fourth target time, configure the internal cleaning function mode according to the cleaning requirement.

[0065] Furthermore, in cooling mode, interior cleaning includes cleaning and post-cleaning drying. Control module 53 is further configured to predict corresponding interior cleaning parameters based on the user's cleaning habits and generate an interior cleaning request. After the user confirms the cleaning request or fails to confirm it promptly, the air conditioner interior cleaning is controlled based on the predicted interior cleaning parameters. Furthermore, after the interior cleaning request is sent to the user, the user may make additional adjustments based on the current interior cleaning request, such as eliminating the need for post-cleaning drying. Therefore, the interior cleaning function mode can be adjusted in a timely manner by responding to the interior cleaning request and returning the cleaning requirements, thereby making the interior cleaning function more tailored to the user's actual needs.

[0066] In another optional embodiment, the function mode to be configured is an internal cleaning function mode, and the configuration control module 53 is further used to: start the function mode configuration when determining that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time; send an internal cleaning request to the user based on the air conditioner being in heating mode; wherein the internal cleaning request includes internal cleaning parameters; configure the internal cleaning function mode according to the internal cleaning request when determining that a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fifth target time, or when no confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fifth target time; stop the function mode configuration when determining that a rejection instruction returned by the user based on the internal cleaning request is received within the fifth target time.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the function mode to be configured is an air purification function mode, and the configuration control module 53 is also used to: determine when a confirmation instruction returned by the user based on the function configuration request is received within the first target time, start the function mode configuration, and automatically turn on the air purification function mode according to the air quality being lower than the preset quality threshold.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, the configuration control module 53 is also used to: after sending a function configuration request to the user according to the function mode to be configured, when it is determined that no confirmation instruction based on the function configuration request is returned by the user within the first target time, or a rejection instruction based on the function configuration request is returned by the user within the first target time, stop the function mode configuration.

[0069] To sum up, the embodiment of the present invention obtains the air conditioner operation status and indoor environment status at the same time through the status acquisition module, so that the control is no longer blind, but based on the scientific judgment of the current real environment, and uses the configuration request module to further combine the air conditioner operation status and the indoor environment status to actively judge the function to be configured, and then send a function configuration request to the user based on the function item to be configured. Through proactive and thoughtful suggestions, complex technical functions are presented to the user in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, so that the user can decide whether to accept the request based on the suggestions, which greatly enhances the user's sense of trust and security, avoids the bad experience caused by algorithm misjudgment, and avoids the situation where the voice recognition judgment is inaccurate due to the jamming during user voice control, resulting in poor voice recognition accuracy. By giving the user the final confirmation right, it cleverly balances the relationship between automation and humanization, intelligence and controllability, simplifies the operation process, and ensures that the entire intelligent process is both efficient and safe.
