[0025] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0026] The embodiments described in the following examples of this disclosure are not representative of all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0027] To address the problem of mosquitoes bothering users, with the development of air conditioners, mosquito repellent modules can now be installed on air conditioners to repel mosquitoes.

[0028] However, air conditioners in related technologies repel mosquitoes using a fixed duration, meaning the same duration is used every time. When there are many mosquitoes or the room where the air conditioner is located is large, using a fixed duration may not achieve the desired mosquito-repelling effect. Furthermore, the actual environment may change. For example, as the air conditioner cools the room, the lower temperature restricts mosquito activity, eliminating the need for repellent. Using a fixed duration, despite the lower room temperature restricting mosquito activity, may still result in repellent application, wasting the repellent.

[0029] For example, some related technologies may use lidar on air conditioners to scan for mosquitoes in the space where the air conditioner is located, and then use the scan results to repel mosquitoes. However, using lidar on air conditioners increases the operating cost of the air conditioner, which is not conducive to reducing the cost of mosquito repellent.

[0030] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a mosquito repellent control method, device, storage medium, program product, and air conditioner. After mosquito repellent has been applied for a first preset duration, if the first environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner can be controlled to continue mosquito repelling for a second preset duration, thereby extending the mosquito repellent duration of the module and achieving a better mosquito repellent effect.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a mosquito control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this method can be used in air conditioners equipped with mosquito repellent modules, or can be applied to terminals that control air conditioners equipped with mosquito repellent modules, and includes the following steps.

[0032] In step S101, when the air conditioner is in a specified operating mode, in response to receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command, the air conditioner's mosquito repellent module is controlled to repel mosquitoes for a first preset duration.

[0033] The mosquito repellent module can contain a mosquito repellent agent; for example, it can contain a mosquito repellent sheet, which may include a corrugated paper substrate and a mosquito repellent active ingredient. The corrugated paper substrate may be loaded with a certain amount of mosquito repellent active ingredient through processes such as dip coating. The mosquito repellent active ingredient may be methoxybenzylflupyr, tetrafluorobenzylflupyr, etc. The mosquito repellent module can repel mosquitoes through the volatilization of the mosquito repellent active ingredient on the mosquito repellent sheet; or, the mosquito repellent module can contain a mosquito repellent liquid, which can repel mosquitoes by controlling the spraying of the mosquito repellent liquid.

[0034] For example, the mosquito repellent module can be installed at the air conditioner's filter. As the air conditioner blows air and the mosquito repellent module releases the repellent, the repellent reaches all parts of the space where the air conditioner is located with the airflow, achieving better mosquito repellency. Alternatively, the mosquito repellent module can be installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner. The mosquito repellent released by the module reaches all parts of the space where the air conditioner is located with the airflow, achieving mosquito repellency.

[0035] The specified mode can be, for example, cooling mode or fan mode. Since cooling mode or fan mode is usually turned on when the temperature or humidity is high, and environments with high temperature or humidity are more suitable for mosquito activity. For example, in summer when the average temperature is above 30 degrees and the humidity is above 70%, mosquito activity is more frequent. Therefore, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode or fan mode, the air conditioner is more likely to be in an environment where mosquitoes are active.

[0036] Since the air conditioner is likely to be in an environment where mosquitoes are active when it is in a designated operating mode, in response to receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command, the air conditioner's mosquito repellent module is controlled to repel mosquitoes for a first preset duration, which can effectively repel mosquitoes.

[0037] The first preset duration can be determined based on the actual conditions of the environment where the air conditioner is located. For example, it can be determined based on the volume information of the enclosed space where the air conditioner is located. The larger the volume represented by the volume information of the enclosed space where the air conditioner is located, the longer the mosquito repellent time is required; the smaller the volume represented by the volume information of the enclosed space where the air conditioner is located, the shorter the mosquito repellent time is required.

[0038] The first preset duration can also be determined based on the floor where the air conditioner is located. Mosquitoes usually live near damp water or vegetation. The higher the floor where the air conditioner is located, the greater the distance between the air conditioner and the water or vegetation where mosquitoes live, the fewer mosquitoes there will be in the air conditioner's environment, and the less mosquito control time is needed. The first preset duration can be, for example, 30 minutes.

[0039] In step S102, after the first preset time period is reached, the first environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained.

[0040] Since the air conditioner is in a designated mode, such as cooling mode or ventilation mode, after the air conditioner's mosquito repellent module has been repelling mosquitoes for a first preset duration, the air conditioner has been cooling or ventilating for a first preset duration. After the first preset duration, the temperature or humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located may change. For example, after the air conditioner has been cooling or ventilating for a first preset duration, the ambient temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located may drop to 20 degrees Celsius, which greatly inhibits the activity of mosquitoes. The mosquitoes whose activity has been greatly inhibited no longer cause trouble for the user.

[0041] After a first preset time period is reached, the first environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained. For example, the environmental temperature value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained after the first preset time period, or the environmental humidity value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained after the first preset time period, or the environmental temperature value and environmental humidity value of the environment where the air conditioner is located are obtained after the first preset time period.

[0042] The first environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located can be obtained by setting an environmental parameter detection device on the air conditioner or in the environment where the air conditioner is located. For example, a temperature sensor or humidity sensor can be set on the air conditioner, or a temperature sensor or humidity sensor can be set in the space where the air conditioner is located, to obtain the ambient temperature value or ambient humidity value of the environment where the air conditioner is located.

[0043] In step S103, if the first environmental parameter value is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner is controlled to continue repelling mosquitoes for the second preset duration.

[0044] If the first environmental parameter value is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold, such as the ambient temperature value being greater than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, or the ambient humidity value being greater than or equal to the first preset humidity value, it indicates that after the air conditioner has been running in the specified operating mode for a first preset time, the first environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is still insufficient to effectively limit the activity of mosquitoes. For example, the ambient temperature value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than 20 degrees Celsius, or the ambient humidity value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than 45%.

[0045] The first preset parameter threshold can be set according to actual needs. For example, the first preset temperature threshold can be 20 degrees Celsius, and the first preset humidity threshold can be 45% humidity.

[0046] Since the environment where the air conditioner is located is not sufficient to effectively restrict the activity of mosquitoes when the first environmental parameter value is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner is controlled to continue to repel mosquitoes for the second preset duration, thereby extending the mosquito repellent duration and ensuring the mosquito repellent effect.

[0047] The second preset duration can be determined based on the actual conditions of the environment in which the air conditioner is located. For example, it can be determined based on the volume information of the enclosed space in which the air conditioner is located. The larger the volume represented by the volume information of the enclosed space in which the air conditioner is located, the longer the mosquito repelling time is required. The smaller the volume represented by the volume information of the enclosed space in which the air conditioner is located, the shorter the mosquito repelling time is required, and the shorter the second preset duration of mosquito repelling after the first preset duration is. The second preset duration can be, for example, 20 minutes.

[0048] The mosquito control method provided by the embodiments of this disclosure: When the air conditioner is in a specified operating mode, after mosquito repelling for a first preset duration, if the first environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repelling module of the air conditioner can be controlled to continue mosquito repelling for a second preset duration, so as to extend the mosquito repelling duration of the mosquito repelling module and achieve a better mosquito repelling effect.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the spatial area information of the environment where the air conditioner is located can be obtained; based on the spatial area information and a preset mapping relationship, a second preset duration can be determined, whereby the preset mapping relationship is used to characterize the correspondence between the spatial area information and the duration.

[0050] For example, a second preset duration for mosquito repelling in rooms with different preset areas can be determined through pre-testing, thereby obtaining a preset mapping relationship to characterize the correspondence between spatial area information and duration; or, a second preset duration for mosquito repelling in rooms with preset areas can be determined through pre-testing, thereby determining the second preset duration for mosquito repelling in rooms with different areas based on the area size between different areas and preset areas, thereby obtaining a preset mapping relationship to characterize the correspondence between spatial area information and duration.

[0051] In one example, the terminal device can display an input interface, allowing the user to input the spatial area information of the environment where the air conditioner is located. The input interface provided by the terminal device can also be set with a selection list for selecting spatial area information. The user can quickly input the spatial area information by selecting the corresponding spatial area information from the selection list. The air conditioner can obtain the spatial area information of the environment where the air conditioner is located from the server or the user's terminal device, and determine the second preset duration based on the spatial area information and the preset mapping relationship.

[0052] The volume of a room is affected by its area. With the same ceiling height, the larger the room area, the larger the room volume, and the longer the second preset time required for mosquito repellent. Conversely, with the same ceiling height, the smaller the room area, the smaller the room volume, and the shorter the second preset time required for mosquito repellent.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the user's home may also have a robot vacuum cleaner or robot mop, which scans the room and builds a map during use, and then automatically sweeps or mops the floor based on the map.

[0054] In other words, based on the scanning results of the room by devices such as robot vacuums or robot mops, the area of ​​each room can be clearly known. Therefore, the spatial area information of the environment in which the air conditioner is located can be obtained based on the scanning results of the room by devices such as robot vacuums or robot mops.

[0055] In this way, compared to users submitting the spatial area information of the air conditioner's environment by manually inputting it, it can not only avoid users manually inputting information and reduce the number of operations, but also obtain more accurate spatial area information of the air conditioner's environment, so as to determine a more accurate second preset duration for mosquito repellent.

[0056] In one possible implementation, if the value of the first environmental parameter is less than the first preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repellent module can be controlled to stop repelling mosquitoes.

[0057] If the value of the first environmental parameter is less than the first preset parameter threshold, for example, the evaporation outlet of the mosquito repellent module can be closed to stop the mosquito repellent module from repelling mosquitoes, or the mosquito repellent module can be controlled to stop spraying mosquito repellent liquid to stop the mosquito repellent module from repelling mosquitoes.

[0058] When the value of the first environmental parameter is less than the first preset parameter threshold, for example, the environmental temperature value is less than the first preset temperature threshold, or the environmental humidity value is less than the first preset humidity threshold, or the environmental temperature value is less than the first preset temperature threshold and the environmental humidity value is less than the first preset humidity threshold, the activity of mosquitoes will be suppressed and will no longer interfere with the user.

[0059] In this way, since mosquitoes no longer disturb users when the first environmental parameter value is less than the first preset parameter threshold, controlling the mosquito repellent module to stop repelling mosquitoes when the first environmental parameter value is less than the first preset parameter threshold can avoid unnecessary consumption of mosquito repellent in the mosquito repellent module while ensuring the mosquito repellent effect and extend the usage time of mosquito repellent in the mosquito repellent module.

[0060] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another mosquito control method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the mosquito control method may further include step S104.

[0061] In step S104, when the total mosquito repelling time of the mosquito repelling module reaches the third preset time, the mosquito repelling module is controlled to stop repelling mosquitoes.

[0062] The longer the mosquito repellent module lasts, the better its mosquito repellent effect usually is. When the total mosquito repellent time of the mosquito repellent module reaches the third preset time, it means that the total mosquito repellent time of the mosquito repellent module is relatively long. The mosquito repellent module can achieve a good mosquito repellent effect with a relatively long mosquito repellent time, and mosquito repellent can be stopped to reduce the consumption of mosquito repellent agent in the mosquito repellent module, while still achieving a good mosquito repellent effect.

[0063] In this embodiment, the third preset duration can be greater than the sum of the first preset duration and the second preset duration. After the mosquito repellent module has performed the first preset duration of mosquito repellent, if the first environmental parameter value is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner can continue to perform the second preset duration of mosquito repellent. By limiting the total mosquito repellent duration of the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner with the third preset duration, the waste of mosquito repellent agent in the mosquito repellent module can be avoided.

[0064] The duration of the third preset duration can be set according to actual needs. For example, it can be determined based on the spatial area or volume information of the environment where the air conditioner is located. The third preset duration can be, for example, 2 hours. The acquisition of the first and third preset durations in this disclosure can also refer to the acquisition method of the second preset duration in this disclosure. That is, the first or third preset duration can be determined based on the spatial area information and the preset mapping relationship.

[0065] In one possible implementation, responding to receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command includes: receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command sent by a user.

[0066] For example, a user can send a mosquito repellent trigger command to the air conditioner via an air conditioner remote control; or, a user can send a mosquito repellent trigger command to the air conditioner or its mosquito repellent module via a wireless connection between the terminal device and the air conditioner or the mosquito repellent module; or, a user can send a mosquito repellent trigger command to a smart gateway device via the terminal device, which then sends the command to the air conditioner or its mosquito repellent module to activate the mosquito repellent module. This application does not restrict the channel through which the user sends the mosquito repellent trigger command.

[0067] Upon receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command from a user, the air conditioner's control module can be controlled to repel mosquitoes, thus promptly meeting the user's mosquito repellent needs. Users can also send a mosquito repellent stop command to the air conditioner via the air conditioner remote control or terminal device, causing the air conditioner's mosquito repellent module to stop repelling mosquitoes, allowing the air conditioner to better meet the user's actual needs.

[0068] In one possible implementation, responding to receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command includes: acquiring a second environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located; receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command if the second environmental parameter value is greater than or equal to a second preset parameter threshold; wherein the second preset parameter threshold is greater than a first preset parameter threshold.

[0069] For example, if the ambient temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than 25 degrees Celsius, or the ambient humidity is greater than 70%, the environment where the air conditioner is located is more suitable for mosquito activity, and there is a high probability that mosquitoes will be active in the environment where the air conditioner is located, thus disturbing the user; when the second environmental parameter value is greater than or equal to the second preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repellent module is triggered to perform a mosquito repellent trigger command, which facilitates the repelling of mosquitoes that may exist in the environment where the air conditioner is located, thereby improving the user's living experience in the environment where the air conditioner is located.

[0070] The second preset parameter threshold may include a second preset temperature threshold and a second preset humidity threshold. The second preset parameter threshold can be set according to actual needs. For example, the second preset temperature threshold can be 25 degrees Celsius, and the second preset humidity threshold can be 55% humidity. The second preset temperature threshold can be determined according to the temperature at which mosquito activity is restricted, and the second preset humidity threshold can be determined according to the humidity at which mosquito activity is restricted.

[0071] The second preset parameter threshold is greater than the first preset parameter threshold. For example, the second preset temperature threshold is greater than the first preset temperature threshold, or the second preset humidity threshold is greater than the first preset humidity threshold.

[0072] When the environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than or equal to the second preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner can be controlled to repel mosquitoes. After the mosquito repellent module has been repelling mosquitoes for a first preset duration, and after the air conditioner has been running in the specified operating mode for a first preset duration, the environmental parameter value of the air conditioner will decrease, such as the ambient temperature value or the ambient humidity value.

[0073] After the mosquito repellent module has been running for the first preset duration, if the environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is less than the first preset parameter threshold, it means that the environment where the air conditioner is located is no longer suitable for mosquito activity, and the mosquito repellent can be stopped; if the environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than the first preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repellent can continue for the second preset duration to ensure the mosquito repellent effect and improve the user's living experience in the environment where the air conditioner is located.

[0074] The following is based on Figure 3 For example, the mosquito control method in this disclosure will be further explained, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it includes: Step S201: When the air conditioner is running in the specified mode, it receives a mosquito repellent trigger command.

[0075] For example, when the air conditioner is running in a specified mode, it receives a mosquito repellent trigger command sent by the user, or the second environmental parameter value of the environment in which the air conditioner is located is greater than or equal to the second preset parameter threshold; for example, the ambient temperature value of the environment in which the air conditioner is located is greater than 25 degrees Celsius, or the ambient humidity value of the environment in which the air conditioner is located is greater than 60%, making the environment in which the air conditioner is located more suitable for mosquito activity.

[0076] Step S202: Control the mosquito repellent module to perform mosquito repellent for a first preset duration.

[0077] Step S203: Determine whether the environmental parameter values ​​of the environment where the air conditioner is located are greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold.

[0078] If the environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold, then step S204 is executed; if the environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is less than the first preset parameter threshold, then step S206 is executed.

[0079] Step S204: Control the mosquito repellent module to perform mosquito repellent for a second preset duration.

[0080] Step S205: Determine whether the total mosquito repellent duration of the mosquito repellent module has reached the third preset duration.

[0081] If the total mosquito repellent duration of the mosquito repellent module reaches the third preset duration, it means that the total mosquito repellent duration of the mosquito repellent module is relatively long and can achieve a good mosquito repellent effect. Therefore, mosquito repellent can be discontinued, and step S206 is executed. If the total mosquito repellent duration of the mosquito repellent module does not reach the third preset duration, step S203 can be executed.

[0082] If, after the first and second preset mosquito repellent durations, the environmental parameter values ​​of the environment where the air conditioner is located are less than the first preset parameter threshold, it indicates that the environment where the air conditioner is located will restrict the activity of mosquitoes, and further mosquito repellent is unnecessary. If, after the first and second preset mosquito repellent durations, the total mosquito repellent duration of the mosquito repellent module has not reached the third preset duration to achieve a good mosquito repellent effect, and the environmental parameter values ​​of the environment where the air conditioner is located have not restricted the activity of mosquitoes, there may still be mosquitoes in the environment where the air conditioner is located that may disturb the user. Therefore, mosquito repellent can continue to ensure the mosquito repellent effect.

[0083] Step S206: The mosquito repellent module stops repelling mosquitoes.

[0084] For example, closing the evaporation outlet of the mosquito repellent in the mosquito repellent module to stop mosquito repellent, or controlling the mosquito repellent module to stop spraying mosquito repellent liquid to stop mosquito repellent, can avoid wasting mosquito repellent and reduce the frequency of mosquito repellent replacement.

[0085] Figure 4 This is a block diagram illustrating a mosquito repellent control device 300 according to an exemplary embodiment. (Refer to...) Figure 4 The mosquito repellent control device 300 includes a control module 301 and an acquisition module 302.

[0086] The control module 301 is configured to, when the air conditioner is in a specified operating mode, respond to receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command and control the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner to repel mosquitoes for a first preset duration.

[0087] The acquisition module 302 is configured to acquire the first environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located after a first preset time period has elapsed.

[0088] The control module 301 is also configured to control the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner to continue repelling mosquitoes for a second preset duration when the first environmental parameter value is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold.

[0089] In one embodiment, the response to receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command includes: receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command sent by a user.

[0090] In one embodiment, responding to receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command includes: obtaining a second environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located; and receiving the mosquito repellent trigger command when the second environmental parameter value is greater than or equal to a second preset parameter threshold, wherein the second preset parameter threshold is greater than the first preset parameter threshold.

[0091] In one embodiment, the control module 301 is further configured to control the mosquito repellent module to stop repelling mosquitoes when the total mosquito repelling time of the mosquito repellent module reaches a third preset time.

[0092] In one embodiment, the acquisition module 302 is further configured to acquire spatial area information of the environment where the air conditioner is located; and determine the second preset duration based on the spatial area information and a preset mapping relationship, wherein the preset mapping relationship is used to characterize the correspondence between the spatial area information and the duration.

[0093] In one embodiment, the environmental parameter values ​​include: ambient temperature value or ambient humidity value.

[0094] According to the mosquito repellent control device provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, when the air conditioner is in a specified operating mode, in response to receiving a mosquito repellent trigger command, the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner can perform mosquito repellent for a first preset duration; after performing mosquito repellent for the first preset duration, if the first environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repellent module of the air conditioner can be controlled to continue mosquito repellent for a second preset duration, so as to extend the mosquito repellent duration of the mosquito repellent module and achieve a better mosquito repellent effect.

[0095] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manner in which each module performs its operation has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0096] This application also provides another mosquito repellent control device, including: a processor and a memory for storing processor-executable instructions; wherein the processor is configured to perform all or part of the steps of the above-described mosquito repellent control method.

[0097] This application also provides an air conditioner 400, including the mosquito repellent control device 300 described in this application.

[0098] For example, an air conditioner 400 may be equipped with a mosquito repellent module, which can control the module to repel mosquitoes. The module may contain a mosquito repellent agent; for instance, it may contain a mosquito repellent sheet, which may include a corrugated paper substrate and a mosquito repellent active ingredient. The corrugated paper substrate may be loaded with a certain amount of the mosquito repellent active ingredient through processes such as dip coating. The active ingredient may be methoxyfenozide, tetrafluorobenzylfenozide, etc. The mosquito repellent module achieves mosquito repellency through the volatilization of the active ingredient on the mosquito repellent sheet. Alternatively, the module may contain a mosquito repellent liquid, which the module controls to spray out to repel mosquitoes.

[0099] For example, the mosquito repellent module can be installed at the air conditioner's filter. As the air conditioner blows air and the mosquito repellent module releases the repellent, the repellent reaches all parts of the space where the air conditioner is located with the airflow, achieving better mosquito repellency. Alternatively, the mosquito repellent module can be installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner. The mosquito repellent released by the module reaches all parts of the space where the air conditioner is located with the airflow, achieving mosquito repellency.

[0100] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the air conditioner is in a specified operating mode, in response to receiving a mosquito repelling trigger command, the mosquito repelling module of the air conditioner can perform mosquito repelling for a first preset duration. After performing mosquito repelling for the first preset duration, if the first environmental parameter value of the environment where the air conditioner is located is greater than or equal to the first preset parameter threshold, the mosquito repelling module of the air conditioner can be controlled to continue mosquito repelling for a second preset duration, so as to extend the mosquito repelling duration of the mosquito repelling module and achieve a better mosquito repelling effect.
