[0024] In each temperature and humidity combination in the aforementioned temperature and humidity comfort line, the temperature and humidity combination corresponding to the smallest distance among the second distances is taken as the first target temperature and humidity combination.

[0029] If the setting parameters include a set humidity, then the temperature and humidity control of the target space by the target device is adjusted to: humidity control of the target space based on the set humidity, and temperature control of the target space based on the temperature and humidity isocomfort line.

[0030] If the setting parameters include a setting temperature and a setting humidity, then the setting temperature and the setting humidity are combined to obtain a setting temperature and humidity combination;

Then, a current temperature and humidity combination, including the current temperature and humidity of the target space, is acquired. Based on this current temperature and humidity combination, a first target temperature and humidity combination is determined from the various temperature and humidity combinations in the isocomfort line. Since this first target temperature and humidity combination is determined from the various temperature and humidity combinations in the isocomfort line based on the current temperature and humidity combination, the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination represent the temperature and humidity that the target space can subsequently change to from the current temperature and humidity. Finally, the target device is controlled to operate according to the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination, causing the temperature and humidity of the target space to change to the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination.

[0048] The purpose, features, and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0049] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0050] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0051] The temperature and humidity comfort theory states that under a suitable combination of temperature and humidity, the human body can maintain thermal balance, thus making people feel comfortable.

[0052] Although there are theories on temperature and humidity comfort, users often lack relevant experience in controlling temperature and humidity comfort and are unsure how to set the operating parameters of relevant equipment (such as air conditioners) to achieve temperature and humidity comfort in the corresponding space. Even if users have relevant experience in controlling temperature and humidity comfort, it is difficult to achieve temperature and humidity comfort in the corresponding space due to the difficulty in collecting some hidden variables that affect temperature and humidity comfort (such as clothing thermal resistance, metabolic rate, etc.).

[0053] In addition, although some manufacturers have launched comfort functions, these functions require the thermal resistance and metabolic rate of clothing to be known. They usually use the current humidity as input to adjust the temperature to achieve relative comfort. However, in reality, temperature changes with humidity, so the existing comfort functions cannot achieve comfortable temperature and humidity control.

[0054] Therefore, how to propose a simple method for temperature and humidity control to improve the user's temperature and humidity comfort experience is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0055] This application provides a temperature and humidity control method. First, a temperature and humidity isocomfort line for the target space is determined using historical environmental data. Since this isocomfort line is determined based on historical environmental data, it matches the actual environmental conditions of the target space. Then, a current temperature and humidity combination, including the current temperature and humidity of the target space, is acquired. Based on this current temperature and humidity combination, a first target temperature and humidity combination is determined from the various temperature and humidity combinations in the isocomfort line. Since this first target temperature and humidity combination is determined from the various temperature and humidity combinations in the isocomfort line based on the current temperature and humidity combination, the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination represent the temperature and humidity that the target space can subsequently change to from the current temperature and humidity. Finally, the target device is controlled to operate according to the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination, causing the temperature and humidity of the target space to change to the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination. Thus, the target device will implement temperature and humidity control of the target space based on the isocomfort line, thereby controlling the temperature and humidity of the target space based on the isocomfort line.

[0056] Therefore, this application proposes a simple temperature and humidity control method that not only does not rely on the user's experience in controlling temperature and humidity comfort, but also does not require the collection of some latent variables that affect temperature and humidity comfort, it can improve the user's temperature and humidity comfort experience through temperature and humidity control.

[0057] The execution subject of the temperature and humidity control method of this application can be a temperature and humidity control device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as an air conditioner that regulates the air by controlling itself, or a server, central controller, wired controller, or other device that regulates the air by controlling other devices. This embodiment does not specifically limit this. The following uses a temperature and humidity control device as the execution subject to describe the following embodiments.

[0058] Based on this, this application proposes a temperature and humidity control method according to the first embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 The temperature and humidity control method includes steps S10 to S40:

[0059] Step S10: Determine the temperature and humidity comfort line of the target space based on the historical environmental data of the target space obtained;

[0060] It should be noted that the target space is the environmental space where the temperature and humidity control equipment is located. The equipment adjusts the temperature and humidity within the target space by controlling these parameters. Historical environmental data includes various environmental parameter values ​​(such as temperature and humidity) of the target space at different points in time over a past period. The temperature and humidity isocomfort line, also known as the thermal comfort line or temperature and humidity comfort line, includes multiple temperature and humidity combinations that maintain human thermal balance and promote comfort. Each temperature and humidity combination within the isocomfort line achieves the same thermal comfort effect. Generally, at higher temperatures, lower humidity makes people feel comfortable, while at lower temperatures, higher humidity makes people feel comfortable.

[0061] It is understandable that the values ​​of various environmental parameters in the target space will change accordingly under different environmental conditions. Therefore, this embodiment can accurately determine the actual environmental conditions of the target space by recording historical environmental data of various environmental parameter values ​​at various points in time over a period of time. Accordingly, the comfort lines of temperature and humidity of the target space determined by the historical environmental data can also be consistent with the actual environmental conditions of the target space.

[0062] In one feasible implementation, step S10 may include steps S11 to S12:

[0063] Step S11: Based on the historical temperature and humidity combinations in the historical environmental data, determine the target variable values ​​of each preset latent variable to be solved in the target space.

[0064] It should be noted that the historical temperature and humidity combination is formed by the combination of temperature and humidity in the target space at a certain point in the past. The latent variables to be solved refer to unobservable random variables that affect the comfort lines such as temperature and humidity in the target space. These latent variables may include, but are not limited to, clothing thermal resistance and metabolic rate; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on them. The target variable value refers to the value of each latent variable to be solved under the actual environmental conditions of the target space.

[0065] Step S12: Based on the target variable values ​​of each of the latent variables to be solved, generate the temperature and humidity comfort lines of the target space.

[0066] For example, assuming that the latent variables to be solved include clothing thermal resistance and metabolic rate, with the target variable value of clothing thermal resistance being 0.1 and the target variable value of metabolic rate being 0.2, then the temperature and humidity comfort lines of the target space will be expressed as f(X1, X2, 0.1, 0.2) = 0, where X1 is temperature and X2 is humidity.

[0067] It is understandable that the latent variables such as clothing thermal resistance and metabolic rate vary in different scenarios, for example, less clothing in summer and more clothing in winter; and the latent variables such as clothing thermal resistance and metabolic rate also differ among different users, for example, overweight users have higher metabolisms and underweight users have lower metabolisms. Therefore, this implementation method first determines the target variable values ​​of each preset latent variable in the target space by using historical temperature and humidity combinations in historical environmental data, so that the determined target variable values ​​of each latent variable can better fit the actual environmental conditions of the target space. Then, using the determined target variable values ​​of each latent variable, a temperature and humidity isocomfort line of the target space is generated, thus obtaining a temperature and humidity isocomfort line that matches the actual environmental conditions of the target space. This allows for better temperature and humidity control of the target space in the future, thereby further improving the user's temperature and humidity comfort experience.

[0068] In one feasible implementation, step S11 may include steps S111 to S113:

[0069] Step S111: Obtain the preset total number of each latent variable to be solved, and get the target number;

[0070] Step S112: Select the target number of historical temperature and humidity combinations from each of the historical temperature and humidity combinations as the temperature and humidity combinations to be calculated;

[0071] It should be noted that the temperature and humidity combination to be calculated refers to the historical temperature and humidity combination used to determine the target variable values ​​of each latent variable to be solved in the target space.

[0072] When selecting a target number of historical temperature and humidity combinations as the temperature and humidity combinations to be calculated from various historical temperature and humidity combinations, any target number of historical temperature and humidity combinations can be selected as the temperature and humidity combinations to be calculated. In order to improve the accuracy of the target variable values ​​of each latent variable to be solved in the subsequent determination, the historical temperature and humidity combinations with the highest number of occurrences can also be selected as the temperature and humidity combinations to be calculated from various historical temperature and humidity combinations. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific implementation of step S112.

[0073] Step S113: Calculate the target variable value of each latent variable to be solved in the target space according to each of the temperature and humidity combinations to be calculated.

[0074] It should be noted that when calculating the target variable values ​​of each latent variable in the target space based on each temperature and humidity combination to be calculated, the calculation is actually performed using Gaussian elimination. For example, assuming that each latent variable to be calculated includes clothing thermal resistance X3 and metabolic rate X4, and the temperature X1 of the temperature and humidity combination to be calculated is 26.0 and the humidity X2 is 0.55, then the calculation formula 1 is f(26.0, 0.55, X3, X4) = 0; the temperature X1 of the temperature and humidity combination to be calculated is 26.5 and the humidity X2 is 0.53, then the calculation formula 2 is f(26.5, 0.53, X3, X4) = 0. After processing calculation formulas 1 and 2 using Gaussian elimination, the target variable value of clothing thermal resistance X3 is a, and the target variable value of metabolic rate X4 is b.

[0075] In another feasible implementation, step S11 may include steps S114 to S116:

[0076] Step S114: Calculate the average distance between each preset temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane and each of the historical temperature and humidity combinations to obtain the first distance between each temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane and the historical environmental data; wherein, the variable values ​​of each latent variable to be solved set for each temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane are different.

[0077] It should be noted that the temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane is used to describe the mathematical model or region of the optimal temperature and humidity combination that people feel comfortable in a multidimensional parameter space. The distance between the temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane and each historical temperature and humidity combination can be Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, or cosine distance, etc., and this embodiment does not make a specific limitation on this.

[0078] Step S115: In each of the temperature and humidity comfort hyperplanes, the temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane corresponding to the minimum distance among the first distances is taken as the target temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane.

[0079] It is understandable that the smaller the first distance, the more closely the values ​​of the hidden variables to be solved set by the corresponding temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane are in line with the current environmental conditions of the target space.

[0080] Step S116: The variable values ​​of each of the latent variables to be solved set by the target temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane are taken as the target variable values ​​of each of the latent variables to be solved in the target space.

[0081] For example, assuming the latent variables to be solved include clothing thermal resistance X3 and metabolic rate X4, and the variable values ​​for clothing thermal resistance X3 and metabolic rate X4 set in temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane 1 are 0.1 and 0.2 respectively, then temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane 1 will be represented as f(X1, X2, 0.1, 0.2) = 0. Similarly, temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane 2 will be represented as f(X1, X2, 0.2, 0.1) = 0, with the same variable values ​​for clothing thermal resistance X3 and metabolic rate X4. Historical temperature and humidity combinations can then be obtained through calculation.<a1,b1> ,<a2,b2> and<a3,b3> The distances between the temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane 1 and the hyperplane 1 are 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3, respectively, based on historical temperature and humidity combinations.<a1,b1> ,<a2,b2> and<a3,b3> The intervals between the temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane 1 and the historical environmental data are 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5, respectively. By calculating the average values ​​of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3, and the average values ​​of 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5, we can obtain that the first distance between the temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane 1 and the historical environmental data is 0.2, and the first distance between the temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane 2 and the historical environmental data is 0.4. Therefore, the variable values ​​of clothing thermal resistance X3 (0.1) and metabolic rate X4 (0.2) set on the temperature and humidity comfort hyperplane 1 can be used as the target variable values ​​of clothing thermal resistance X3 and metabolic rate X4, respectively.

[0082] The above are only two feasible implementations of step S11 provided in this embodiment. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific implementation of step S11.

[0083] It is understandable that, in the two feasible implementations of step S11 provided above, the second implementation comprehensively considers all temperature and humidity combinations in the historical environmental data when determining the target variable values ​​of each latent variable to be solved. Therefore, given a sufficiently large number of preset temperature and humidity comfort hyperplanes, the final determined target variable values ​​of each latent variable to be solved are more accurate than those determined in the first implementation. Conversely, since the first implementation requires processing less data, it is more efficient than the second implementation in determining the target variable values ​​of each latent variable to be solved.

[0084] Step S20: Obtain the current temperature and humidity combination, including the current temperature and humidity of the target space at the current moment;

[0085] It should be noted that when obtaining the current temperature and humidity combination, including the current temperature and humidity of the target space, it can be obtained from the temperature and humidity control device or from other devices connected to the temperature and humidity control device. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0086] It is understandable that, due to environmental factors, equipment limitations, or other factors, the temperature and humidity within the target space may not reach the temperature and humidity of some temperature and humidity combinations in the temperature and humidity comfort line under the current temperature and humidity conditions. Therefore, in this embodiment, when determining the first target temperature and humidity combination, it will determine it from each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity comfort line based on the current temperature and humidity combination. This ensures that the temperature and humidity in the determined first target temperature and humidity combination are the temperature and humidity that the target space can subsequently change to from the current temperature and humidity.

[0087] Step S30: Based on the current temperature and humidity combination, determine the first target temperature and humidity combination from the temperature and humidity isocomfort lines;

[0088] It should be noted that the first target temperature and humidity combination is used to characterize the temperature and humidity combination used by the target device when the target space enters the temperature and humidity control based on the temperature and humidity comfort line.

[0089] In one feasible implementation, step S30 may include steps S31 to S32:

[0090] Step S31: Calculate the interval distance between the current temperature and humidity combination and each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line to obtain each second distance;

[0091] It should be noted that the interval between the current temperature and humidity combination and each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line can be Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance or cosine distance, etc., and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0092] Step S32: Among the temperature and humidity combinations in the temperature and humidity comfort lines, the temperature and humidity combination corresponding to the smallest distance among the second distances is taken as the first target temperature and humidity combination.

[0093] In this embodiment, firstly, the second distance is obtained by calculating the interval between the current temperature and humidity combination and each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line. Then, the temperature and humidity combination corresponding to the smallest distance among the temperature and humidity combinations in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line is taken as the first target temperature and humidity combination. Since the first target temperature and humidity combination is the temperature and humidity combination closest to the current temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line, the target device can quickly enter the temperature and humidity control based on the temperature and humidity isocomfort line to quickly achieve the temperature and humidity comfort of the target space, thereby further improving the user's temperature and humidity comfort experience.

[0094] In another feasible implementation, step S30 may include: calculating the interval distance between the current temperature and humidity combination and each temperature and humidity combination in the isocomfort line to obtain each second distance; and determining a first target temperature and humidity combination from among the temperature and humidity combinations whose second distance is less than a preset distance threshold. Specifically, when determining the first target temperature and humidity combination from among the temperature and humidity combinations whose second distance is less than the preset distance threshold, any temperature and humidity combination can be arbitrarily selected as the first target temperature and humidity combination from among the temperature and humidity combinations whose second distance is less than the preset distance threshold, or a temperature and humidity combination can be selected as the first target temperature and humidity combination according to certain selection requirements. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0095] The above are only two feasible implementation methods of step S30 provided in this embodiment. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific implementation method of step S30.

[0096] Step S40: Control the target device to operate according to the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination.

[0097] It is understandable that after the target device is controlled to operate according to the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination, the target device will enter the temperature and humidity control of the target space based on the temperature and humidity isocomfort line, so that the temperature and humidity of the target device will move synchronously with the temperature and humidity isocomfort line.

[0098] This embodiment provides a temperature and humidity control method. First, the temperature and humidity isocomfort line of the target space is determined through historical environmental data of the target space. Since this temperature and humidity isocomfort line is determined based on the historical environmental data of the target space, it is consistent with the actual environmental conditions of the target space. Then, the current temperature and humidity combination, including the current temperature and humidity of the target space, is obtained. Based on this current temperature and humidity combination, a first target temperature and humidity combination is determined from each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line. Since the first target temperature and humidity combination is determined from each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line based on the current temperature and humidity combination, the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination are the temperature and humidity that the target space can subsequently change to from the current temperature and humidity. Finally, the target device is controlled to operate according to the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination, so that the temperature and humidity of the target space change to the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination. Thus, the target device will enter the temperature and humidity control of the target space based on the temperature and humidity isocomfort line, thereby controlling the temperature and humidity of the target space based on the temperature and humidity isocomfort line.

[0099] Therefore, this embodiment proposes a simple temperature and humidity control method that not only does not rely on the user's experience in controlling temperature and humidity comfort, but also does not require the collection of some latent variables that affect temperature and humidity comfort. It can improve the user's temperature and humidity comfort experience through temperature and humidity control.

[0100] Based on the first embodiment described above, a second embodiment of the temperature and humidity control method of this application is proposed. For the second embodiment, please refer to... Figure 2 After step S40, step S50 is also included:

[0101] Step S50: If the target device has set parameters, then adjust the temperature and humidity control of the target space by the target device according to the set parameters; wherein, the set parameters include set temperature and / or set humidity.

[0102] It should be noted that the setting parameters refer to the specific parameter values ​​that the user or the device itself wants to achieve and maintain. These device parameters may include, but are not limited to, setting temperature and / or setting humidity.

[0103] In this embodiment, if the target device has set parameters, the temperature and humidity control of the target space by the target device will be adjusted according to the set parameters so that the temperature and humidity control of the target space by the target device can meet the requirements of the set parameters. Thus, on the basis of achieving temperature and humidity comfort in the target space, the user's set requirements can be further met, thereby not only improving the user's temperature and humidity comfort experience, but also improving the user's experience of using the target device.

[0104] In one possible implementation, step S50 may include:

[0105] Step S51: If the set parameters include a set temperature, then the temperature and humidity control of the target space by the target device is adjusted to: temperature control of the target space based on the set temperature, and humidity control of the target space based on the temperature and humidity comfort line.

[0106] Step S52: If the set parameters include set humidity, then the temperature and humidity control of the target space by the target device is adjusted to: control the humidity of the target space based on the set humidity, and control the temperature of the target space based on the temperature and humidity comfort line.

[0107] Step S53: If the setting parameters include a setting temperature and a setting humidity, then combine the setting temperature and the setting humidity to obtain a setting temperature and humidity combination;

[0108] Step S54: Based on the set temperature and humidity combination, determine the second target temperature and humidity combination from each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line;

[0109] It should be noted that the second target temperature and humidity combination is used to characterize the temperature and humidity combination that the target device needs to operate when it wants to enter the target space for temperature and humidity control based on the set temperature and humidity combination.

[0110] In one feasible implementation, step S54 may include steps S541 to S542:

[0111] Step S541: Calculate the interval distance between the set temperature and humidity combination and each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line to obtain each third distance;

[0112] It should be noted that the interval distance between the temperature and humidity combinations and the temperature and humidity isocomfort lines can be Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, or cosine distance, etc., and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0113] Step S542: Among the temperature and humidity combinations in the temperature and humidity comfort lines, the temperature and humidity combination corresponding to the smallest distance among the third distances is taken as the second target temperature and humidity combination.

[0114] In this embodiment, firstly, the interval distance between the set temperature and humidity combination and each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line is calculated to obtain each third distance. Then, from each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line, the temperature and humidity combination corresponding to the smallest distance among each third distance is taken as the second target temperature and humidity combination. Since this second target temperature and humidity combination is the temperature and humidity combination closest to the set temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line, after limiting the temperature and humidity of the target device to the second target temperature and humidity combination, the target device is then controlled to enter the temperature and humidity control of the target space based on the set temperature and humidity combination. This allows the user's set requirements to be further met without affecting the temperature and humidity comfort of the target space as much as possible. This not only improves the user's temperature and humidity comfort experience but also enhances the user's experience of using the target device.

[0115] Step S55: After the target device operates at the temperature and humidity of the second target temperature and humidity combination, the temperature and humidity control of the target space by the target device is adjusted to: control the temperature and humidity of the target space based on the set temperature and the set humidity.

[0116] This implementation method limits the target device to perform different temperature and humidity controls on the target space when the types of parameters included in the setting parameters are different. This is to further meet the user's setting requirements while minimizing the impact on the temperature and humidity comfort of the target space. This not only improves the user's temperature and humidity comfort experience but also enhances the user's experience of using the target device.

[0117] For example, to help understand the implementation process of the temperature and humidity control method obtained by combining the above embodiments, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,in, Figure 4 The solid line in the figure represents the actual temperature and humidity conditions of the target equipment during operation, specifically:

[0118] First, based on historical environmental data of the target space, determine the temperature and humidity comfort lines (corresponding to...) of the target space. Figure 4 (dashed line in the image), and then obtain the current temperature and humidity combination (corresponding to the current temperature and humidity of the target space at the current moment). Figure 4 Point A in the diagram); then, by calculating the interval distance between the current temperature and humidity combination and each temperature and humidity combination in the isocomfort line, the temperature and humidity combination corresponding to the smallest interval distance is taken as the first target temperature and humidity combination (corresponding to...). Figure 4 Point B in the diagram); then control the target device to operate according to the temperature and humidity in the first target temperature and humidity combination; next, determine whether the target device has set parameters. If the target device has set parameters, and these set parameters include both set temperature and set humidity, then calculate the interval distance between the set temperature and humidity combination and each temperature and humidity combination in the temperature and humidity isocomfort line, so that the temperature and humidity combination corresponding to the smallest interval distance is taken as the second target temperature and humidity combination (corresponding to...). Figure 4 Point C in the middle); finally, after the target equipment reaches the temperature and humidity of the second target temperature and humidity combination, control the target equipment to operate according to the set temperature and humidity combination (corresponding to...). Figure 4 The temperature and humidity at point D in the diagram are monitored.
