[0087] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0088] It should be noted that the terms “include” and “have” and any variations thereof in the embodiments of the present application and the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but can optionally further include steps or units not listed or can optionally further include other steps or units inherent to the process, method, product or device.

[0089] It can be understood that the terms “first”, “second” and the like used in the present application can be used herein to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the first element from another element. For example, without departing from the scope of the present application, the first temperature sensor can be referred to as the second temperature sensor, and similarly, the second temperature sensor can be referred to as the first temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor are two different temperature sensor categories.

[0090] Figure 1 Application scenario diagram of the air conditioner in an embodiment. As shown in Figure 1As shown, the air conditioner 100 can be applied in an indoor environment 110, and by adjusting the operating parameters of the air conditioner 100, the environmental temperature in the indoor environment 110 is controlled to provide a suitable temperature for at least one user 120 in the indoor environment 110.

[0091] Optionally, the air conditioner 100 can include, but is not limited to, a floor standing air conditioner, a central air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, an embedded fan coil, a top-mounted air conditioner for a high-speed rail car, etc.

[0092] The indoor environment 110 refers to a closed or semi-closed space provided with an air conditioner. The indoor environment 110 can include, but is not limited to, an office scenario, a library scenario, a high-speed rail car scenario, a hospital room scenario, a school classroom scenario, etc.

[0093] Optionally, the distribution position of the air conditioner 100 in the indoor environment 110 can be set at the center of the indoor environment 110 (as shown in Figure 1 Optionally, the distribution position of the air conditioner 100 in the indoor environment 110 can be set at the center of the indoor environment 110 (as shown in

[0094] It should be noted that the number of users 120 in the indoor environment 110 is not limited herein, and can be, for example, five users 120 as shown in Figure 1 Optionally, the distribution position of the air conditioner 100 in the indoor environment 110 can be set at the center of the indoor environment 110 (as shown in

[0095] In the prior art, an air conditioner is usually designed to control comfort by using a specified single temperature index and a specified single humidity index. However, the adjustment of the air conditioner according to a single temperature index and a single humidity index does not fully consider various factors affecting human thermal sensation, such as air temperature, air relative humidity, wind speed, mean radiant temperature, human activity intensity, clothing thermal resistance, human metabolic rate, etc., and therefore, the single temperature and single humidity index adjustment cannot meet the needs of users.

[0096] Furthermore, air conditioners typically use the overall indoor environment as a control unit, failing to meet the differentiated needs of individuals. However, due to differences in physical condition, activity intensity, clothing, and other factors, each user's temperature needs also vary. For example, in an office setting, some employees may prefer a lower indoor temperature due to their faster metabolism, while others may prefer a higher indoor temperature due to their weaker constitutions. This makes it difficult for air conditioners to accommodate the personalized needs of different users. Consequently, air conditioners can mitigate individual differences in indoor environments, failing to ensure comfort for all users simultaneously. Furthermore, they have certain limitations in identifying and regulating individual thermal comfort.

[0097] The embodiments of the present application disclose an air conditioner and a parameter control method for the air conditioner, which can accurately and intelligently adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner to meet the user's comfort requirements and improve the user's usage experience.

[0098] In this application, the comfort mode of the air conditioner operation can be divided into two stages (initial comfort stage and stable comfort stage); in the initial comfort stage, the PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) model is used as the core for global rapid temperature adjustment. In the cooling mode, PMV is selected as -0.5, and in the heating mode, it is selected as +0.5. The air conditioner determines the basic set temperature according to the PMV comfort range and initial humidity, and determines the compensation value according to the outdoor ambient temperature, clothing thermal resistance and metabolic rate. Finally, the initial set temperature is generated, and the operating parameters of the air conditioner are controlled so that the indoor environment temperature quickly reaches the boundary value close to the target comfort range; after entering the stable comfort stage, PMV is selected according to the [-0.5, 0.5] range, and the temperature sensation of each user in the indoor environment is introduced. The position of the air guide plate and the set temperature are adjusted to achieve precise control of personalized comfort.

[0099] like Figure 2 As shown, the overall control of the air conditioner operation is as follows: when the air conditioner is running, it enters the comfort stage and activates the functions of various sensors. The air conditioner controller collects the indoor ambient temperature through the temperature sensor and the indoor ambient humidity through the humidity sensor, and then the controller calculates the target temperature or receives the target temperature set by the user. (In the stable comfort stage, the controller will also determine the temperature perception of the target user based on the temperature perception recognition model according to the facial area temperature of the target user and the indoor ambient temperature, and then adjust to obtain the target temperature). Based on the target temperature, the controller controls the air conditioner to operate automatically according to the target operating parameters, so that the indoor ambient temperature can meet the personalized comfort needs of each user and improve user comfort.

[0100] The following is an introduction to the meanings of some terms and symbols involved in this application, as shown in Table 1:

[0101] Table 1

[0102]

[0103] The following is an explanation of the initial comfort stage based on the PMV model.

[0104] In the embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner relies on the temperature and humidity addressing rule to address and determine the target temperature of the initial comfort stage; the temperature and humidity addressing rule is calculated based on the human thermal sensation index PMV to predict the average thermal sensation index value, and a "comfort temperature and humidity reference table (PMV value in ±0.5)" is generated through experimental calculation as a reference table for the comfort control of the air conditioner (as shown in Table 2).

[0105] Table 2 Comfort temperature and humidity reference table

[0106]

[0107] Specifically, the air conditioner detects the outdoor environment temperature Tout, the indoor environment temperature Tin, and the indoor relative humidity Rh through a temperature sensor. According to the temperature zone corresponding to the obtained outdoor environment temperature Tout, different temperature compensation values T_comp are obtained in combination with the clothing thermal resistance clo of the human body and the metabolic rate M of the human body, and the specific working mode (cooling / heating / ventilation) of the air conditioner is determined. Then, according to the comfort temperature and humidity reference table, the indoor relative humidity Rh obtained is used as a pointer to address in the reference table to determine the target set temperature Ts_com of the subsequent stable comfort stage, so that the air conditioner runs with Ts_com as the target set value.

[0108] In some embodiments, for the initial comfort stage, the temperature and humidity addressing from the beginning always addresses around the PMV value six human thermal sensation factors: environmental parameters (air temperature, air relative humidity, wind speed, average radiation temperature) and human parameters (human metabolic rate, clothing thermal resistance), with human comfort control as the core.

[0109] In some embodiments, the outdoor ring environment temperature Tout is re-determined every 2h, and a new temperature zone is determined. If it is still in the original operating temperature zone, the original mode and stage operation is continued; if it is in the new temperature zone, the original working mode is interrupted, and a new working mode is entered in combination with the indoor ring temperature Tin and the indoor relative humidity Rh of the new temperature zone. If the indoor sensor fails or overflows, and there is no humidity sensor, Rh is defaulted to 65%.

[0110] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown in the table 1, the air conditioner acquires the outdoor environment temperature Tout, determines the temperature zone to which the Tout belongs, and determines the first temperature zone in the case of Tout≤13℃, the second temperature zone in the case of 13℃

[0113] In some embodiments, the controller of the air conditioner can address according to the working mode of the air conditioner to determine the target set temperature Ts_initial of the initial comfort stage and the target set temperature Ts_comfort of the stable comfort stage.

[0114] Specifically, taking the refrigeration mode as an example, as shown in the table 1, if Rh Figure 4

[0115] Specifically, taking the heating mode as an example, as shown in the table 1, if Rh Figure 5 ​As shown in the table, if Rh < 30% (the lower limit of the comfort table's comfortable humidity), the maximum temperature corresponding to Rh 30% in the comfort table is Ts_initial (Ts_initial = 27°C). If Rh > 65% (the upper limit of the comfort table's comfortable humidity), the maximum temperature corresponding to Rh 65% in the comfort table is Ts_initial (Ts_initial = 26°C). If 65% ≥ Rh ≥ 30% (the upper and lower limits of the comfort table's comfortable humidity), the minimum temperature corresponding to the closest humidity in the comfort table is Ts_initial (e.g., if Rh = 43%, and the closest humidity in the comfort table is Rh 45%, then the maximum temperature corresponding to Rh 45% is Ts_initial = 26.5°C). The average of the upper and lower limits of the comfortable humidity (26.5°C) and (24°C) corresponding to Rh 50% in the comfort table is Ts_comfort, with a default value of 25.5°C.

[0116] Specifically, in the air supply mode of the air conditioner, the addressing operation is not performed.

[0117] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a structural block diagram of an air conditioner in one embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a refrigerant circulation circuit 610 , a temperature sensor 620 , an infrared sensor 630 and a controller 640 .

[0118] The refrigerant circulation circuit 610 is configured to circulate the refrigerant to achieve the cooling or heating function of the air conditioner 100 .

[0119] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the refrigerant circulation circuit 610 includes a compressor 611, an outdoor heat exchanger 612 and an indoor heat exchanger 613 connected in sequence.

[0120] The outdoor heat exchanger 612 is used to exchange heat with the outdoor air; the compressor 611 is used to compress the refrigerant in a low-pressure state into a high-pressure state, and drive the refrigerant to circulate in the refrigerant circulation loop 610; the electronic expansion valve 113 is used to adjust the flow of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop 610; the indoor heat exchanger 613 is used to exchange heat with the indoor air.

[0121] Specifically, when the outdoor heat exchanger 612 of the air conditioner 100 cools the indoor environment 110, it functions as a condenser, releasing heat; the indoor heat exchanger 613 functions as an evaporator, absorbing heat. The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 611, becoming a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. It then flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 612, releasing heat and condensing into a liquid (or gas, or a gas-liquid mixture). It then flows into the indoor heat exchanger 613, absorbing heat and evaporating into a gas. Finally, it flows back into the compressor 611, completing the refrigerant circulation loop 610 and cooling the indoor environment.

[0122] Specifically, when the outdoor heat exchanger 612 of the air conditioner 100 performs heating on the indoor environment 110, the outdoor heat exchanger 612 works as an evaporator to absorb heat; the indoor heat exchanger 613 works as a condenser to release heat. The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 611 into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas; flows into the indoor heat exchanger 612 to release heat and condenses into a liquid (or gas, or gas-liquid mixture); then flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 612 to absorb heat and evaporates into a gas; finally, flows into the compressor 611 to complete a complete refrigerant circulation loop 610, thereby realizing heating on the indoor environment.

[0123] The temperature dynamic sensor 620 is configured to collect the indoor environment temperature corresponding to the indoor environment 110 of the air conditioner 100.

[0124] Optionally, the temperature dynamic sensor 620 can adopt a temperature sensor with high precision, fast response and long-term stability, such as a thermistor type or a thermocouple type, which can accurately measure the temperature value of the indoor environment 110.

[0125] The indoor environment temperature can reflect the actual temperature condition of the indoor environment 110 after the air conditioner 100 runs for a period of time, that is, the temperature condition that the user 120 in the indoor environment 110 can feel, which directly affects the user's experience.

[0126] Optionally, the temperature dynamic sensor 620 can be configured to collect the indoor environment temperature corresponding to the indoor environment 110 according to a preset temperature detection period. For example, the temperature dynamic sensor 620 can collect the temperature of the indoor environment 110 once every minute, every few minutes or longer. By periodically collecting the indoor environment temperature, continuous change data of the indoor environment temperature can be obtained, thereby avoiding the contingency of temperature abnormalities.

[0127] Optionally, the preset temperature detection period can be a fixed value, or can be determined according to the outdoor environment temperature and / or the indoor environment temperature.

[0128] The infrared sensor 630 is configured to collect the face region temperature corresponding to at least one user in the indoor environment.

[0129] Optionally, the infrared sensor 630 can adopt an infrared thermal imaging camera, a thermocouple sensor array, a single-point thermocouple sensor, etc.

[0130] For example, the infrared thermal imaging camera captures the face infrared radiation through a microbolometer or a QWIP (Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector), generates an infrared thermal imaging frame (the resolution is usually 80x60-640x512 pixels), and thus obtains the face region temperature corresponding to the user.

[0131] Optionally, the facial region temperature includes a cheek temperature, a nose temperature, a forehead temperature, and an eye temperature.

[0132] For example, the air conditioner can identify the human head profile from the complex background based on the improved target detection algorithm (input is an infrared thermal imaging frame, a stereo YOLOv7-tiny model), filter through a temperature threshold (for example, 28-37°C) and screen through an area threshold (for example, >200 pixels), and mark as a candidate region; adopt a PnP (Perspective-n-Point) algorithm, combine with the infrared camera calibration parameters (for example, focal length fx / fy, principal point cx / cy, distortion coefficients k1-k3, etc.), map the two-dimensional thermal imaging coordinates to a predefined 3D face model (which can include 68 key points), generate a virtual face grid with temperature attributes; then perform Gaussian weighted average (the weight is inversely proportional to the Euclidean distance from the vertex to the center of the region) on the vertex temperature in the grid belonging to the cheek (for example, key points 17-22), the nose (for example, key points 27-36), the forehead (for example, key points 1-16), and the eye (for example, key points 37-48), and calculate the quantitative temperature values of the cheek temperature, the nose temperature, the forehead temperature, and the eye temperature.

[0133] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 can further include a humidity sensor configured to collect the relative humidity in the indoor environment.

[0134] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further includes an outdoor fan and an indoor fan. The outdoor fan drives the outdoor air to flow through the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger 612 by rotating, exchanges heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 612 to achieve the exchange of heat on the outdoor side; the indoor fan drives the indoor air to flow through the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 613 by rotating, exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger 613, thereby adjusting the temperature and humidity of the indoor air to provide a comfortable indoor environment 110 for the user 120.

[0135] Specifically, the outdoor fan and the indoor fan each include a guide vane and an air valve. The guide vane is used to guide the flow direction of the air. When the outdoor fan and the indoor fan are running, the guide vane can adjust the angle according to the actual demand, guide the air flow driven by the outdoor fan and the indoor fan to a specific direction, and ensure that the air can flow evenly and efficiently through the surface of the heat exchanger. The air valve is used to control the flow of the air. When the air conditioner 100 needs to increase the heat exchange amount, the opening of the air valve is increased to allow more air to pass through the heat exchanger, thereby enhancing the heat exchange effect; on the contrary, when the load of the air conditioner 100 is reduced or in a specific operating mode, the opening of the air valve is reduced to reduce the air flow and reduce energy consumption.

[0136] In some embodiments, the air conditioner can adjust the temperature and humidity of the indoor environment by controlling the opening of the air deflector and the air valve.

[0137] Specifically, the controller can control the indoor fan according to the humidity control and humidity preservation theory (as shown in Table 4, Figure 7 , that is, as the humidity of the indoor environment increases, the peak of the dehumidification amount of the air conditioner has a tendency to move to the high-speed side of the indoor unit, the critical point of the dry and wet working conditions is different at different air speeds, the higher the inlet relative humidity is, the larger the air speed is, and the lower the inlet relative humidity is, the smaller the air speed is. The relative humidity of the indoor environment can be controlled and maintained within the range of human comfortable humidity.

[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 , based on the above humidity control and humidity preservation theory, when the working mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, the control mode of the indoor fan of the air conditioner can include the following steps.

[0141] Step 802, the air conditioner starts running.

[0142] Step 804, the indoor environment temperature Tin, the outdoor environment temperature Tout, the relative humidity Rh of the indoor environment, and the instantaneous sampling relative humidity Rhi are obtained.

[0143] Step 806, the indoor environment temperature Tin, the outdoor environment temperature Tout, and the relative humidity Rh of the indoor environment are determined to determine that the air conditioner runs in the cooling mode.

[0144] Step 808, the air conditioner enters the cooling mode, and controls the indoor fan speed (step 810 is executed) or controls the compressor frequency (step 830 is executed).

[0145] Step 810, determine whether the set temperature difference E is greater than the first set temperature (for example, 2℃); if yes, execute step 812; if no, execute step 816.

[0146] Step 812, control the indoor fan to run at the first wind speed. It should be noted that in this mode, if E> 3℃ is detected after the indoor fan is first run at the second wind speed, and the detection lasts for 5 minutes, then the super-high wind needs to be run. The first wind speed can be super-high wind 1250rpm.

[0147] Step 814, determine whether the set temperature difference E is less than or equal to the first set temperature, if yes, execute step 816; if no, execute step 812.

[0148] Step 816, control the indoor fan to run at a second wind speed. The second wind speed is less than the first wind speed. The second wind speed can be medium wind 1000 rpm.

[0149] Step 818, determine whether the condition -2≤ΔR<2 is met for four consecutive sampling periods. Wherein, the relative humidity of the indoor instantaneous sampling is collected every preset sampling period (e.g. 5 min), and ΔR is the difference between the indoor instantaneous sampling relative humidity Rhi of the current sampling period and the indoor instantaneous sampling relative humidity Rh(i-1) of the last sampling period, i.e. ΔR=Rhi-Rh(i-1). If yes, execute step 820; if no, execute step 816.

[0150] Step 820, determine whether the condition -6≤ΔRh<6 is met. Wherein, ΔRh is the difference between the indoor instantaneous sampling relative humidity Rhi of the current sampling period and the set humidity Rhset. If yes, execute step 818; if no, execute step 822.

[0151] Step 822, determine whether the condition ΔRh>6 is met. If yes, execute step 824; if no, execute step 826.

[0152] Step 824, control the indoor fan to lower one gear to a wind speed.

[0153] Step 826, determine whether the condition ΔRh<6 is met. If yes, execute step 828; if no, execute step 820.

[0154] Step 828, control the indoor fan to raise one gear to a wind speed.

[0155] Step 830, enter the refrigeration mode for the first time.

[0156] Step 832, determine whether the condition set temperature difference E>3℃ is met. Wherein, the set temperature difference E is the absolute value of the difference between the indoor environment temperature and the target temperature. If yes, execute step 834; if no, execute step 836.

[0157] Step 834, call the existing powerful refrigeration mode to run.

[0158] Step 836, run in the normal mode.

[0159] Through the above steps 802-836, the air conditioner can ensure the user's use comfort while reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0160] The following is a description of the stable comfort stage of the temperature sensation of each user introduced into the indoor environment.

[0161] In the embodiment of the present application, after the air conditioner enters the stable comfort stage, the face region temperature, the human thermal sensation TSV, the indoor environment temperature, the relative humidity, the wind speed, the metabolic rate, and the clothing thermal resistance are collected by the infrared sensor to establish a model and train a large database, and finally a temperature sensation recognition model is established to recognize and predict the individual temperature sensation of the user, and the controller 640 determines the corresponding control strategy according to the output temperature sensation result, so as to meet the individual difference and personalized comfort adjustment requirements of at least one user in the indoor environment.

[0162] As shown in Figure 9 The controller 640 is configured to perform the following steps 910-930.

[0163] Step 910: Obtain the first face region temperature corresponding to the target user collected by the infrared sensor, and obtain the first indoor environment temperature collected by the temperature sensor.

[0164] The target user is any user in the indoor environment.

[0165] Optionally, the infrared sensor and the temperature sensor on the air conditioner can be connected with the controller. The indoor environment temperature collected by the infrared sensor can be stored in an indoor environment temperature database, and the face region temperature collected by the temperature sensor can be stored in a face region temperature database; the indoor environment temperature database can include the temperatures of the indoor environment collected by the temperature sensor in multiple temperature detection periods, and the face region temperature database can include the face region temperatures of each user in the indoor environment collected by the infrared sensor in multiple temperature detection periods. The controller can obtain the first face region temperature corresponding to the target user and the first indoor environment temperature from the indoor environment temperature database and the face region temperature database; the temperature collection period corresponding to the first face region temperature is the same as the temperature collection period corresponding to the first indoor environment temperature.

[0166] Step 920: Input the first face region temperature and the first indoor environment temperature into the temperature sensation recognition model, and determine the temperature sensation result corresponding to the target user according to the first face region temperature and the first indoor environment temperature through the temperature sensation recognition model.

[0167] The first layer decision condition of the temperature sensation recognition model is whether the cheek temperature is less than or equal to the first cheek temperature threshold, the second layer decision condition of the temperature sensation recognition model includes whether the cheek temperature is less than or equal to the second cheek temperature threshold and whether the nose temperature is less than or equal to the first nose temperature threshold, and the second cheek temperature threshold is less than the first cheek temperature threshold.

[0168] In some embodiments, the controller stores a trained thermal sensation recognition model, and the training process of the thermal sensation recognition model can be performed on the air conditioner or other electronic devices or terminal devices. After being trained by other electronic devices or terminal devices, the trained thermal sensation recognition model can be stored on the current air conditioner through migration learning or direct sending.

[0169] Specifically, the training of the thermal sensation recognition model can include the following steps 1) to 4).

[0170] 1) Sample data collection. Compared with the PMV model with physical meaning, the accuracy of the artificial intelligence technology based on big data in predicting human thermal sensation is higher than that of the conventional physical model, and the accuracy depends largely on the amount of sample data involved in the training. Therefore, in actual application, as the amount of sample data increases, the accuracy of the established thermal sensation recognition model will also be improved. Therefore, in order to accurately identify the thermal sensation of the user by the air conditioner, the sample data collection includes the collection of environmental state parameters in various environments and the collection of body surface data of different users. The various environments include environments in different regions, different seasons, different weather conditions, etc. The environmental state parameters include indoor environmental temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, clothing thermal resistance, etc. The different users include sampling populations with different physical characteristics such as different age groups, different genders, and different races. The body surface data of the human body includes skin temperature (such as facial region temperature) of multiple body parts, human thermal sensation, human metabolic rate, etc. Thus, a model training database is established based on the collected sample data to learn the user's thermal sensation variation law by using artificial intelligence technology, so as to improve the accuracy of identifying the individual thermal comfort demand of the user when applied to the air conditioner.

[0171] 2) Model training. The thermal sensation recognition model is constructed using skin temperature data of different facial regions, and the thermal sensation recognition model is selected and optimized by the collected environmental state parameters in various environments and parameters such as human thermal sensation and human metabolic rate. The thermal sensation recognition model established based on the facial region temperature can be fully automated in ideal conditions, and can learn the user's thermal sensation variation law without human intervention to adjust the parameters, thereby improving the modeling efficiency.

[0172] 3) Model generation. During the construction of the thermal sensation recognition model, there are parameters, i.e. hyperparameters, that cannot be directly optimized by algorithms. The optimal thermal sensation recognition model is trained by manually adjusting and selecting the hyperparameters.

[0173] 4) Prediction. The optimal thermal sensation recognition model is tested to predict the accuracy of the thermal sensation recognition model, so as to determine the generalization degree of the optimal thermal sensation recognition model. When the generalization degree of the optimal thermal sensation recognition model reaches a preset degree, the optimal thermal sensation recognition model can be used as the trained thermal sensation recognition model.

[0174] In some embodiments, the thermal sensation result comprises a thermal sensation category, the thermal sensation category comprising a first thermal sensation, a second thermal sensation or a third thermal sensation, the first thermal sensation indicating that the user feels cold, the second thermal sensation indicating that the user feels hot, and the third thermal sensation indicating that the user feels neutral.

[0175] Optionally, the thermal sensation result further comprises a thermal sensation value. One thermal sensation category can correspond to multiple thermal sensation values, different thermal sensation categories correspond to different thermal sensation values, and the number of thermal sensation values corresponding to each thermal sensation category is not limited herein. For example, the thermal sensation values corresponding to the first thermal sensation can include -1 and -2; the thermal sensation values corresponding to the second thermal sensation can include 1, 2 and 3; and the thermal sensation values corresponding to the third thermal sensation can include 0.

[0176] It should be noted that the thermal sensation value can be used to represent the degree of the corresponding thermal sensation category. For example, in the case that the first thermal sensation indicates that the user feels cold, and the thermal sensation values corresponding to the first thermal sensation can include -1 and -2, the thermal sensation value -1 can represent that the target user feels cold, and the thermal sensation value -2 can represent that the target user feels very cold, i.e., the user with the thermal sensation value -2 feels colder than the user with the thermal sensation value -1.

[0177] At step 930, a target operating parameter corresponding to the air conditioner is determined according to the working mode of the air conditioner and the thermal sensation result corresponding to each of the at least one user.

[0178] Since the ambient temperature of the indoor environment is affected by the air flow of the hot or cold air flow output by the air conditioner, and the air flow output by the air conditioner is affected by the circulation flow and state change of the refrigerant, and the circulation flow and state change of the refrigerant are affected by the operating frequency of the compressor. Specifically, the higher the operating frequency of the compressor, the more refrigerant is compressed in a unit of time, the stronger the refrigeration or heating capacity of the air conditioner, the larger the output of the hot or cold air flow, the more significant the temperature change caused by the temperature adjustment of the air conditioner, and the more significant the influence on the ambient temperature of the indoor environment. Therefore, the controller can control the ambient temperature of the indoor environment by adjusting the operating frequency of the compressor of the air conditioner, so that the ambient temperature tends to the desired temperature of the user (the target temperature Ts_comfort of the stable comfort stage), thereby enabling the user to feel comfortable.

[0179] Optionally, the target temperature Ts_comfort of the stable comfort stage can be determined according to the working mode of the air conditioner and the thermal sensation result corresponding to each of the at least one user.

[0180] In some embodiments, if the air conditioner determines that the number of users with a cold temperature sensing result in the indoor environment is large, the current set temperature is increased, that is, when the controller of the air conditioner identifies that the number of users with a cold temperature sensing result is greater than the first quantity threshold through the temperature sensing identification model, a temperature increase signal is sent to increase the temperature based on the current set temperature, for example, if the current set temperature is 20°C, the target temperature after the increase can be 21°C; or, after determining that the number of users with a neutral temperature sensing result is greater than the first quantity threshold, a temperature maintenance signal is sent to keep the current set temperature unchanged; or, after determining that the number of users with a hot temperature sensing result is greater than the first quantity threshold, a temperature decrease signal is sent to decrease the temperature based on the current set temperature, for example, if the current set temperature is 20°C, the target temperature after the decrease is 19°C. The first quantity threshold is determined by the number of users in the current indoor environment. In this way, the current set temperature is adjusted in the above manner, and the air conditioner operates according to the adjusted target temperature, so as to achieve the purpose of individual thermal comfort control for users and meet the individual comfort adjustment needs of target users.

[0181] The target operating parameters corresponding to the air conditioner refer to various operating parameters that the air conditioner needs to achieve in order to adjust the environmental temperature of the indoor environment to be close to the user's expected temperature (the first target temperature or the second target temperature).

[0182] Optionally, the target operating parameters corresponding to the air conditioner can include, but are not limited to, one or more of the target operating frequency of the compressor, the target rotating speed of the fan, the target opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, the target angle of the air deflector, and the target opening degree of the air valve.

[0183] The operating frequency of the compressor can control the amount of refrigerant compressed per unit time, thereby affecting the refrigeration or heating capacity of the air conditioner and the flow rate of the output air flow. The rotating speed of the fan can affect the flow rate and air volume of the output air flow of the air conditioner. The opening degree of the electronic expansion valve can control the flow rate and pressure of the refrigerant, thereby affecting the refrigeration or heating effect of the air conditioner. The angle of the air deflector and the opening degree of the air valve can adjust the wind direction and wind speed of the output air flow of the air conditioner.

[0184] For example, in the case where the air conditioner is in a heating mode, if the controller determines through the temperature sensing identification model that the number of users with a cold temperature sensing result in the indoor environment is greater than the first quantity threshold, the rotating speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner is increased; if the controller determines through the temperature sensing identification model that the number of users with a hot temperature sensing result in the indoor environment is greater than the first quantity threshold, the rotating speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner is decreased.

[0185] For example, when the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, if the controller determines, through the thermal sensation recognition model, that the number of users with a thermal sensation result of being too cold in the indoor environment is greater than the first quantity threshold, the controller reduces the rotation speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner; if the controller determines, through the thermal sensation recognition model, that the number of users with a thermal sensation result of being too hot in the indoor environment is greater than the first quantity threshold, the controller increases the rotation speed of the indoor fan of the air conditioner.

[0186] In some embodiments, after determining the target operating parameter corresponding to the air conditioner, the controller controls the air conditioner to operate according to the target operating parameter, so that the temperature adjusted by the air conditioner approaches the first target temperature or the second target temperature, thereby bringing a comfortable environmental temperature for at least one user in the indoor environment.

[0187] In the embodiments of the present application, the face region temperature of the user and the indoor environment temperature are obtained, a preliminary judgment is made through the first layer decision condition (whether the cheek temperature is less than or equal to the first cheek temperature threshold) of the thermal sensation recognition model, then, in combination with different face region temperatures of the user, the cheek temperature with the largest face proportion is first considered, and then the further cheek temperature and the nose temperature are combined to further adjust the recognition result of the first layer, so that the thermal sensation of the individual user can be more accurately quantified, a thermal sensation decision branch is formed, so that the controller of the air conditioner can accurately identify and predict the thermal sensation result of each user in the indoor environment; and the controller adjusts the operating parameter of the air conditioner according to the accurate thermal sensation result corresponding to at least one user, so that the indoor environment temperature can more accurately meet the temperature demand of at least one user in the indoor environment, so that the air conditioner can not only meet the comfort demand of the general public, but also realize the individual comfort demand of each user.

[0188] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10 The step of determining, by the thermal sensation recognition model, the thermal sensation result corresponding to the target user according to the first face region temperature and the first indoor environment temperature can include the following steps 1002-1010.

[0189] Step 1002: Determine, by the thermal sensation recognition model, whether the first cheek temperature in the first face region temperature is less than or equal to the first cheek temperature threshold. If yes, the controller 640 performs step 1004; if no, the controller 640 performs step 1014.

[0190] Step 1004: If the first cheek temperature is less than or equal to the first cheek temperature threshold, determine, by the thermal sensation recognition model, whether the first cheek temperature is less than or equal to the second cheek temperature threshold. If yes, the controller 640 performs step 1006; if no, the controller 640 performs step 1008.

[0191] Step 1006, in a case where the first cheek temperature is less than or equal to the first cheek temperature threshold, determining, by the thermal sensation recognition model, the thermal sensation result corresponding to the target user as the first thermal sensation or the second thermal sensation or the third thermal sensation.

[0192] Step 1008, in a case where the first cheek temperature is greater than the second cheek temperature threshold, determining, by the thermal sensation recognition model, the thermal sensation result corresponding to the target user as the first thermal sensation or the third thermal sensation.

[0193] Step 1010, if the first cheek temperature is greater than the first cheek temperature threshold, determining, by the thermal sensation recognition model, whether the first nose temperature in the first facial region temperature is less than or equal to the first nose temperature threshold. If yes, the controller 640 performs step 1012; if no, the controller 640 performs step 1014.

[0194] Step 1012, in a case where the first nose temperature is less than or equal to the first nose temperature threshold, determining, by the thermal sensation recognition model, the thermal sensation result corresponding to the target user as the first thermal sensation or the second thermal sensation or the third thermal sensation.

[0195] Step 1014, in a case where the first nose temperature is greater than the first nose temperature threshold, determining, by the thermal sensation recognition model, the thermal sensation result corresponding to the target user as the second thermal sensation or the third thermal sensation.

[0196] Specifically, if the first nose temperature is less than or equal to the first nose temperature threshold, determining, by the thermal sensation recognition model, whether the first nose temperature is less than or equal to the second nose temperature threshold; in a case where the first nose temperature is less than or equal to the second nose temperature threshold, determining, by the thermal sensation recognition model, the thermal sensation result corresponding to the target user as the first thermal sensation or the third thermal sensation; in a case where the first cheek temperature is greater than the second nose temperature threshold, determining, by the thermal sensation recognition model, the thermal sensation result corresponding to the target user as the second thermal sensation or the third thermal sensation.

[0197] Specifically, if the first cheek temperature is less than or equal to the second cheek temperature threshold, the temperature sensing recognition model is used to determine whether the first indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the first ambient temperature threshold; if the first indoor ambient temperature is greater than the first ambient temperature threshold, the temperature sensing recognition model is used to determine whether the first nose temperature is less than or equal to the fourth nose temperature threshold; when the first nose temperature is less than or equal to the fourth nose temperature threshold, the temperature sensing recognition model is used to determine that the temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user is the third temperature sensing; if the first nose temperature is greater than the fourth nose temperature threshold, the temperature recognition model is used to determine whether the first indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the fifth ambient temperature threshold; when the first indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the fifth ambient temperature threshold, the temperature sensing recognition model is used to determine that the temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user is the first temperature sensing; when the first indoor ambient temperature is greater than the fifth ambient temperature threshold, the temperature sensing recognition model is used to determine that the temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user is the second temperature sensing.

[0198] Specifically, if the first nose temperature is less than or equal to the second nose temperature threshold, the temperature sensing recognition model is used to determine whether the first indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the fourth ambient temperature threshold; when the first indoor ambient temperature is greater than the fourth ambient temperature threshold, the temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user is determined to be the third temperature sensing; if the first indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the fourth ambient temperature threshold, the temperature sensing recognition model is used to determine whether the first indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the sixth ambient temperature threshold; when the first indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the sixth ambient temperature threshold, the temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user is determined to be the third temperature sensing; when the first indoor ambient temperature is greater than the sixth ambient temperature threshold, the temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user is determined to be the first temperature sensing.

[0199] In an embodiment of the present application, the controller uses a temperature recognition model to perform a hierarchical assessment of the first cheek temperature. If the first cheek temperature is between a first cheek temperature threshold and a second cheek temperature threshold, the controller determines the target user's temperature sensation as being cool or neutral. If both the first cheek temperature and the first nose temperature are greater than the first cheek temperature threshold, the controller determines the target user's temperature sensation as being warm or neutral. This allows the temperature recognition model to generate temperature prediction branches for different user facial features, avoiding the limitations of a single temperature threshold. This allows the temperature recognition model to more accurately align the temperature sensation results with the target user's temperature requirements, thereby improving the accuracy of user temperature recognition.

[0200] In some embodiments, as Figure 11A - Figure 11C As shown in the figure, the temperature sensing recognition model includes five layers of decision conditions and a total of 25 decision branches; the leaf node corresponding to each decision branch is the temperature sensing result.

[0201] In some specific embodiments, the third layer decision condition of the thermal sensation recognition model comprises whether the indoor environment temperature is less than or equal to a first environment temperature threshold, whether the nose temperature is less than or equal to a second nose temperature threshold, whether the indoor environment temperature is less than or equal to a second environment temperature threshold, and whether the indoor environment temperature is less than or equal to a third environment temperature threshold; the second nose temperature threshold is less than the first nose temperature threshold, the first environment temperature threshold is less than the third environment temperature threshold, and the second environment temperature threshold is less than the first environment temperature threshold.

[0236] In the above 25 decision branches and corresponding temperature sensing results, if the temperature sensing result is the first temperature sensing cold, that is, the user's current feeling temperature is low, the current set temperature is increased to increase the user's body temperature and improve comfort. If the temperature sensing result is the second temperature sensing hot, that is, the user's current feeling temperature is high, the current set temperature is reduced to reduce the user's body temperature and improve comfort. If the temperature sensing result is the third temperature sensing neutral, that is, the user's current feeling is neither cold nor hot, at this time, the current set temperature can be maintained, that is, the air conditioner can currently meet the user's individual comfort needs.

[0237] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 12 , the controller 640 is configured to perform the following steps 1202-1208.

[0238] Step 1202, acquiring the first facial region temperature corresponding to the target user collected by the infrared sensor in the current detection period, and acquiring the first indoor environment temperature collected by the temperature sensor in the current detection period.

[0239] Step 1204, inputting the first facial region temperature and the first indoor environment temperature into the temperature sensing identification model, and determining the first temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user and the current detection period according to the first facial region temperature and the first indoor environment temperature through the temperature sensing identification model.

[0240] The related description of determining the first temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user and the current detection period in steps 1202-1204 can refer to the related description of steps 910-920 in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0241] Step 1206, determining the temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user according to the first temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user and at least two detection periods respectively.

[0242] In some embodiments, the controller of the air conditioner can store the first temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user and each detection period until the number of stored detection periods reaches a preset number; the controller can statistically process the first temperature sensing result corresponding to at least two stored detection periods to determine the temperature sensing result corresponding to the target user, which can improve the identification accuracy of the temperature sensing of the target user.

[0243] Optionally, the controller may adopt statistical methods including but not limited to the mean, mode, median, etc. of multiple first temperature sensing results.

[0244] For example, taking the majority as an example, the air conditioner collects the facial area temperature of the target user and the corresponding indoor environment temperature, and inputs the facial area temperature and the corresponding indoor environment temperature into the temperature sensing recognition model to obtain the corresponding first temperature sensing result; assuming the preset number is 5, the first temperature sensing results output after 5 judgments by the temperature sensing recognition model are: slightly hot, slightly cold, neutral, slightly hot, slightly hot, among which the number of slightly hot is the largest, so the temperature sensing result of the target user is slightly hot.

[0245] Step 1208: Determine target operating parameters corresponding to the air conditioner according to the operating mode of the air conditioner and the temperature sensing result corresponding to at least one user.

[0246] For the description of step 1208 , please refer to the description of step 940 in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0247] In an embodiment of the present application, the air conditioner obtains the first temperature sensing results corresponding to the target user in multiple detection cycles and integrates the first temperature sensing results of multiple detection cycles, thereby reducing the random error of a single temperature acquisition and the randomness of the results of a single pass through the temperature sensing recognition model, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the temperature sensing results corresponding to the final target user.

[0248] In some embodiments, as Figure 13 As shown, the step of determining the target operating parameters corresponding to the air conditioner according to the working mode of the air conditioner and the temperature sensing result corresponding to at least one user may include the following steps 1302 to 1308.

[0249] Step 1302 : Determine the temperature sensitivity value range to which each temperature sensitivity value belongs based on the temperature sensitivity value corresponding to at least one user.

[0250] The temperature sensitivity value can be used to represent the degree of the corresponding temperature sensitivity category.

[0251] Step 1304: Determine a temperature compensation value based on each temperature sensing value range and the operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0252] In some embodiments, the controller may perform statistics on each temperature sensing value range to determine the target temperature sensing value range that includes the largest number of users, and then determine the target temperature compensation value corresponding to the target temperature sensing value range based on the correspondence between the temperature sensing value range and the temperature compensation value (as shown in Table 5).

[0253] Table 5

[0254] Temperature sensation range Temperature compensation value (°C) [-3,-2) +2 [-2,-1) +1 [-1,1] 0 (1,2] -1 (2,3] -2

[0255] Optionally, the controller can further acquire the outdoor environment temperature Tout, the clothing resistance clo of the user and the human metabolic rate M of the user, determine the first temperature compensation value corresponding to each user in the indoor environment through Table 3, and take the sum of the average of the first temperature compensation value corresponding to each user and the target temperature compensation value as the temperature compensation value of the current air conditioner.

[0256] In step 1306, the current set temperature of the air conditioner is temperature-compensated based on the temperature compensation value to obtain a target temperature.

[0257] Optionally, the controller can take the sum of the current set temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature compensation value as the target temperature.

[0258] In step 1308, the target operating parameter corresponding to the air conditioner is adjusted according to the target temperature.

[0259] In the embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner maps the thermal sensation values of each user to a corresponding numerical range, so that the thermal sensation states of each user are quantitatively classified, which provides a basis for determining the temperature compensation value, and the temperature compensation value is determined according to the current mode of the air conditioner, the current set temperature is corrected in real time based on the temperature compensation value, the target temperature that takes into account the group comfort and the individual thermal sensation is obtained, and the target operating parameter is adjusted based on the target temperature, so that the air conditioner can meet the comfort needs of the general public while also achieving the individual comfort needs of each user.

[0260] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further comprises an air supply assembly; the air supply assembly is configured to deliver air flow to the indoor environment, and an air supply range covered by the air supply assembly is divided into a plurality of air supply areas; the target operating parameter comprises an air supply direction of the air supply assembly.

[0261] Optionally, as shown in Figure 14 from the perspective of top view, the air supply range covered by the air supply assembly is a sector with a radius of 5 meters and an angular radian of 120°, and according to the area of the sector, the air supply range can be equally divided into 5 air supply areas.

[0262] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 15 , the step of determining the target operating parameter corresponding to the air conditioner according to the working mode of the air conditioner and the thermal sensation results respectively corresponding to at least one user can include the following steps 1502-1510.

[0263] In step 1502, the position information respectively corresponding to at least one user is acquired.

[0264] In some embodiments, the air conditioner can further comprise a positioning module configured to determine user positions of at least one user in the indoor environment corresponding to the air conditioner.

[0265] Optionally, the positioning module can comprise a near field communication module configured to establish a near field communication connection with each of a plurality of terminal devices in the indoor environment corresponding to the air conditioner, receive a near field communication signal transmitted by each of the terminal devices, and determine a distance between each of the terminal devices and the air conditioner based on the near field communication signal transmitted by each of the terminal devices to obtain position information of at least one user.

[0266] Near field communication refers to data transmission between two parties within a short distance (usually a few meters to tens of meters). The near field communication connection can include, but is not limited to, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, UWB, NFC, etc.

[0267] In the indoor environment, each user has a corresponding terminal device, which can be a mobile phone, a computer, a wearable device, etc. Since various terminal devices currently have near field communication functions, each user does not need to carry a special positioning device for communication with the positioning module, but only needs to use the existing terminal device to realize positioning communication with the air conditioner. In addition, the connection process of near field communication is usually simple and can quickly establish a connection, thereby ensuring the accuracy of positioning and realizing the convenience and low cost of user positioning.

[0268] Optionally, the near field communication signal transmitted by the terminal device can include, but is not limited to, device identification information, signal strength information, timestamp information, etc.

[0269] The device identification information is used to uniquely identify the terminal device and can include a MAC address, a Bluetooth address, a corresponding user, etc. of the terminal device, so that the positioning module of the air conditioner can distinguish different users and terminal devices through the device identification information.

[0270] The signal strength information can include RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), and the positioning module can estimate the distance between the terminal device and the air conditioner based on the signal strength information and a signal propagation model.

[0271] The timestamp information is used to calculate the propagation time of the near field communication signal to determine the distance between the air conditioner and the terminal device.

[0272] In some embodiments, the controller may further obtain location information corresponding to at least one user based on historical data; the historical data may include historical user locations of different users in different time periods.

[0273] Taking the office scene as an example, since the user positions corresponding to each user in the office scene are relatively fixed and the movements of each user are relatively regular, the controller can record the positions of each user at historical moments and use them to determine the user positions of each user at the current moment.

[0274] Step 1504: Determine the air supply area corresponding to each user based on the location information corresponding to each user.

[0275] In some embodiments, the controller may determine the air supply area corresponding to the air supply range of each user position based on the air supply range corresponding to each air supply area and each user position.

[0276] Step 1506: Determine the target temperature sensation corresponding to each ventilation area according to the temperature sensation results corresponding to each user included in each ventilation area.

[0277] In some embodiments, the controller may use the temperature sensing result that appears the most times among the multiple temperature sensing results included in each air supply area as the target temperature sensing corresponding to each air supply area.

[0278] Step 1508 : determining a target air supply area from the plurality of air supply areas based on the working mode of the air conditioner, the target temperature corresponding to each air supply area, and the number of users included in each air supply area.

[0279] Optionally, the controller determines the target air supply area from multiple air supply areas based on the working mode of the air conditioner, the target temperature corresponding to each air supply area, and the number of users included in each air supply area, in accordance with the principle of "air panel cooling prioritizes air away from people and supplies air to the heat-sensitive area, and heating prioritizes air blowing on people and supplies air to the cold-sensitive area".

[0280] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, if a certain air supply area has the largest number of users and the target temperature result corresponding to this air supply area is relatively hot, then this air supply area can be determined as the target air supply area; if the target temperature result of this air supply area is relatively cold, then the air supply component should avoid this air supply area as much as possible when delivering airflow. If there are multiple air supply areas with target temperature results corresponding to them that are all relatively hot, then these air supply areas can all be designated as target air supply areas, and the air supply component can be controlled to deliver airflow to the multiple target air supply areas in a sweeping manner.

[0281] Step 1510: Adjust the air supply direction of the air supply assembly according to the target air supply area so that the air supply assembly delivers airflow toward the target air supply area.

[0282] In the embodiment of the present application, the target air supply area is selected from the plurality of air supply areas by comprehensively considering the target thermal sensation corresponding to each air supply area, the number of users, and the working mode of the air conditioner, and the air supply assembly is caused to deliver airflow toward the target air supply area, so as to meet the thermal sensation demand of the users in the target air supply area, and the air conditioner can realize precise air supply and avoid invalid energy consumption caused by global air supply.

[0283] As shown in Figure 16 In one embodiment, a parameter control method of an air conditioner is provided, which can be applied to the air conditioner 100 described above. The method can include the following steps 1610 to step 1630.

[0300] The air conditioner adjusts the current set temperature stored in the controller based on the user's temperature sensing result. If the user's temperature sensing result indicates a cooler temperature, the current set temperature is increased by 1°C. If the user's temperature sensing result indicates a warmer temperature, the current set temperature is decreased by 1°C, resulting in the target temperature being changed.

[0301] The air conditioner determines whether Tset+3 < target temperature < Tset-3. If not, the target temperature is not automatically determined by the air conditioner based on the temperature sensing model, but is a temperature customized by the user via the remote control. In this case, the target temperature is set to the maximum value of Tset±3. If so, the target temperature is set to the target temperature after the modification.

[0302] The air conditioner also determines the relative humidity Rhset according to the target temperature through the temperature and humidity comparison table (Table 1), so that the air conditioner determines the target operating parameters of the air conditioner (for example, adjust the speed of the indoor fan, such as Figure 8 shown).

[0303] In an embodiment of the present application, the air conditioner obtains the user's facial area temperature and the indoor environment temperature, and makes a preliminary judgment based on the first-level decision condition of the temperature perception recognition model (whether the cheek temperature is less than or equal to the first cheek temperature threshold). Then, combined with the different facial area temperatures of the user, starting from the cheek temperature that accounts for the largest proportion of the face, and then combined with the further cheek temperature and nose temperature, the first-level recognition result is further adjusted, which can more accurately quantify the user's individual temperature perception and form a temperature perception decision branch, so that the air conditioner controller can accurately identify and predict the temperature perception results of each user in the indoor environment; and, the controller adjusts the operating parameters of the air conditioner according to the accurate temperature perception result corresponding to at least one user, so that the indoor environment temperature can more accurately meet the temperature requirements of at least one user in the indoor environment, so that the air conditioner can meet the comfort needs of the general population and realize the personalized comfort needs of each user.

[0304] As Figure 18 shown in the drawings, in one embodiment, a parameter control device 1800 of an air conditioner is provided, which can be applied to the air conditioner described above.

[0306] The temperature-sensing identification module 1820 is configured to input the first facial region temperature and the first indoor environment temperature into a temperature-sensing identification model, and determine a temperature-sensing result corresponding to the target user according to the first facial region temperature and the first indoor environment temperature through the temperature-sensing identification model; a first layer decision condition of the temperature-sensing identification model is whether a cheek temperature is less than or equal to a first cheek temperature threshold value, a second layer decision condition of the temperature-sensing identification model includes whether the cheek temperature is less than or equal to a second cheek temperature threshold value and whether a nose temperature is less than or equal to a first nose temperature threshold value, and the second cheek temperature threshold value is less than the first cheek temperature threshold value; the temperature-sensing result includes a temperature-sensing category, and the temperature-sensing category includes a first temperature-sensing, a second temperature-sensing, or a third temperature-sensing, the first temperature-sensing indicates that a temperature feeling of the user is cold, the second temperature-sensing indicates that the temperature feeling of the user is hot, and the third temperature-sensing indicates that the temperature feeling of the user is neutral.

[0307] The parameter adjustment module 1830 is configured to determine a target operating parameter corresponding to the air conditioner according to a working mode of the air conditioner and a temperature-sensing result corresponding to at least one user in the indoor environment.

[0308] In the embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner acquires the facial region temperature of the user and the indoor environment temperature, preliminarily judges through the first layer decision condition (whether the cheek temperature is less than or equal to the first cheek temperature threshold value) of the temperature-sensing identification model, then combines the different facial region temperatures of the user, starts from the cheek temperature with the largest facial proportion, and further adjusts the identification result of the first layer by combining the further cheek temperature and the nose temperature, so as to more accurately quantify the temperature feeling of the individual user, form a temperature-sensing decision branch, and thus enable the controller of the air conditioner to accurately identify and predict the temperature-sensing result of each user in the indoor environment; and the controller adjusts the operating parameter of the air conditioner according to the accurate temperature-sensing result corresponding to at least one user, so that the indoor environment temperature can more accurately meet the temperature demand of at least one user in the indoor environment, so that the air conditioner can meet the comfort demand of the general public and also realize the individual comfort demand of each user.
