[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] Currently, if the airflow from kitchen air conditioning equipment blows directly onto the flame on the stove during operation, it can cause the flame to become unstable, and in severe cases, it can cause the flame to go out, which adversely affects the efficiency and safety of the user's cooking process.

[0052] To address this, solutions using kitchen cameras and infrared sensors have been proposed to adjust the airflow output of air conditioning equipment. However, the kitchen camera solution is costly and poses a risk of privacy breaches, while the infrared solution is also costly and difficult to deploy and maintain, making it difficult to achieve widespread application.

[0053] Therefore, how to avoid affecting the stove flame in a low-cost and convenient way when kitchen air conditioning equipment is working is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0054] The main solution of this application embodiment is: to obtain the current position of a human body in the kitchen space; to determine that the current position of the human body is located in a sheltered area, the sheltered area being determined based on human activity data collected by the radar module; and to adjust the air outlet parameters of the kitchen air conditioning equipment.

[0055] The kitchen air conditioning equipment control method proposed in this application can determine the sheltered area in the kitchen space through human activity data collected by the radar module, and monitor the position of human body in the kitchen space in real time. When it is determined that the current position of human body is in the sheltered area, the air output parameters of the kitchen air conditioning equipment are adjusted. Thus, under the premise of low cost and simple operation, the interference of the output wind force of the kitchen air conditioning equipment on the sheltered area (usually the stove area) is effectively avoided, providing users with a more comfortable cooking environment.

[0056] The executing entity of the air conditioning equipment control method of this application can be a kitchen air conditioning device. This kitchen air conditioning device can be an air conditioner or other device that regulates the air in the kitchen by controlling itself, or it can be a control device, 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 embodiments are described using an air conditioning device as the executing entity.

[0057] Based on this, this application proposes a kitchen air conditioning equipment control method according to the first embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 The control method for kitchen air conditioning equipment includes steps S10 to S30:

[0058] Step S10: Obtain the current location of the human body within the kitchen space;

[0059] The integrated radar module can acquire the real-time location of a person within the kitchen space. Specifically, when activated, the radar module emits electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency. These waves are reflected back upon encountering an object and received and processed by the radar module. By comprehensively analyzing parameters such as the time difference, phase difference, and intensity of the reflected waves, the radar module can accurately detect the movement of objects and identify whether they are human bodies, thus enabling accurate and real-time acquisition of the current location of a person within the kitchen space.

[0060] In one feasible embodiment, steps S40 to S50 may be included before step S10:

[0061] Step S40: Periodically acquire human activity data collected by the radar module, and determine the sheltered area based on the acquired human activity data;

[0062] Human activity data is collected by a radar module, and the sheltered area in the kitchen space is dynamically determined based on this data. The size of the sheltered area can be preset to a certain area, or it can be determined based on the analysis of human activity data. This embodiment does not specify the exact size of the sheltered area.

[0063] Step S50: When the sheltered areas determined by the preset number of consecutive times are all consistent, extend the determination period of the sheltered areas.

[0064] To reduce resource consumption and improve operational efficiency, a judgment mechanism for determining the sheltered area is set in advance. That is, if the sheltered area is determined to be consistent for a preset number of times (such as five times), the sheltered area in the current kitchen is determined to be fixed. Therefore, the determination cycle of the sheltered area is appropriately extended.

[0065] For example, in the process of periodically determining sheltered areas, the sheltered area is initially determined every other day. After five consecutive sheltered areas are determined to be in the same location, the determination can be repeated every 3 or 5 days as the number of determinations accumulates.

[0066] Step S20: Determine that the current location of the human body is in a sheltered area. The sheltered area is determined based on the human activity data collected by the radar module.

[0067] Based on the current location of the human body, it is further determined whether the location is within a pre-determined sheltered area. This sheltered area is determined based on human activity data collected in advance by the radar module. By determining whether the current location of the human body is within the sheltered area, it is ensured that the air conditioning equipment in the kitchen moves with the person and the air avoids fire when the person is active in the kitchen.

[0068] Step S30: Adjust the air outlet parameters of the kitchen air conditioning equipment.

[0069] Once the location of the human body is determined to be within a sheltered area, the system immediately adjusts the air output parameters of the kitchen air conditioning equipment, such as wind speed and direction, according to a preset air output parameter adjustment strategy. This adjustment is used to ensure that while ensuring the comfort of the human body, the output wind force of the kitchen air conditioning equipment can effectively avoid adverse effects on the stove flame, thereby ensuring the efficiency and safety of the cooking process.

[0070] In one feasible embodiment, step S10 may be followed by step S60:

[0071] Step S60: Determine that the current location of the human body is outside the sheltered area, and control the air outlet direction of the kitchen air conditioning equipment to be directed towards the current location of the human body.

[0072] Once it is determined that the person's current location is outside the sheltered area, control the airflow direction of the kitchen air conditioning equipment to point it towards the person's current location, so as to ensure that the output air force acts directly on the person and improve the person's comfort when moving around in the kitchen.

[0073] In one feasible embodiment, step S30 may include step S301:

[0074] Step S301: Control the air outlet direction of the kitchen air conditioning equipment to avoid the wind-sheltered area; or, reduce the air outlet speed of the kitchen air conditioning equipment.

[0075] When a person is currently located within a sheltered area, in order to avoid the output airflow of the kitchen air conditioning unit from interfering with the sheltered area, the airflow direction of the kitchen air conditioning unit should be adjusted so that it completely avoids the sheltered area. In addition to adjusting the airflow direction, the airflow speed of the kitchen air conditioning unit can also be reduced to further reduce the impact on the environment within the sheltered area. This reduces the interference of the output airflow on the sheltered area, ensures that the environment within the sheltered area remains relatively stable, and improves the efficiency and safety of the cooking process.

[0076] Therefore, this embodiment uses human activity data collected by the radar module to determine the sheltered area in the kitchen space and monitors the position of people in the kitchen space in real time. When it is determined that the current position of a person is in the sheltered area, the air output parameters of the kitchen air conditioning equipment are adjusted. This effectively avoids the interference of the output wind force of the kitchen air conditioning equipment on the sheltered area (usually the stove area) under the premise of low cost and simple operation, and provides users with a more comfortable cooking environment.

[0077] Based on the first embodiment described above, a second embodiment of the kitchen air conditioning equipment control method of this application is proposed. In the second embodiment, the step of "determining the sheltered area based on the acquired human activity data" in step S40 includes steps S401 to S403:

[0078] Step S401: Map the acquired human activity data onto a two-dimensional plane corresponding to the kitchen space to form a heat map;

[0079] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the radar module can be a radar module built into the kitchen air conditioning unit, or it can be a radar module in a stand-alone radar device that is linked to the kitchen air conditioning unit. This embodiment does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0080] The radar module installed in the kitchen continuously acquires real-time data on human activity within the kitchen space, including movement trajectory, speed, direction, and dwell time.

[0081] Based on the acquired human activity data, this data is mapped onto a two-dimensional plane corresponding to the kitchen space. After mapping, according to the density of human activity in the heat map, different numbers of human activity points, different colors, or brightness are used in the heat map to represent the intensity of human activity in different areas, so as to intuitively reflect the distribution of human activity in the kitchen space.

[0082] In one feasible embodiment, step S401 may include steps S4011 to 4012:

[0083] Step S4011: Filter the acquired human activity data to remove data in the human activity data where the user's dwell time is lower than a preset time threshold.

[0084] Human activity data is filtered to remove data where the user stays for less than a preset time threshold, thus eliminating brief and occasional human activity data. This ensures that the subsequent heatmap generation can more accurately reflect the long-term distribution of human activity in the kitchen space.

[0085] The preset duration threshold needs to be determined based on the actual situation of the kitchen and user needs. It is usually set to a relatively short time period, such as a few minutes or a few seconds, to ensure that very short data that has almost no impact on the overall activity distribution can be filtered out.

[0086] Step S4012: Map the filtered human activity data onto a two-dimensional plane corresponding to the kitchen space to form a heat map.

[0087] After filtering, the filtered human activity data is mapped onto a two-dimensional plane corresponding to the kitchen space. This mapping process takes into account factors such as the actual layout and size of the kitchen and the detection range of the radar module to ensure the accuracy and practicality of the heat map.

[0088] During the mapping process, based on the density of human activity, different numbers of human activity points, different colors, or brightness levels are used in a two-dimensional plane to represent the intensity of human activity in different areas. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on the specific form of the heatmap; the heatmap only needs to intuitively reflect the long-term distribution of human activity within the kitchen space.

[0089] For example, using different numbers of human activity points as an example, areas with frequent human activity and long dwell times will have more human activity points, while areas with less human activity and short dwell times will have fewer human activity points; and using different brightness levels as another example, areas with frequent human activity and long dwell times will be represented by higher brightness, while areas with less human activity and short dwell times will be represented by lower brightness.

[0090] Step S402: Determine the high-frequency residence areas of the human body in the kitchen space based on the distribution of human activity in the heat map;

[0091] After the heat map is generated, the distribution of human activity is further analyzed based on the heat map to determine the high-frequency areas where people stay in the kitchen space. These high-frequency areas are usually areas where people frequently stay or pass through when they are active in the kitchen, such as next to the stove or in the food preparation area.

[0092] In one feasible embodiment, step S402 may include steps S4021 to S4022:

[0093] Step S4021: Determine the activity area of ​​the human body based on the activity distribution of the human body in the heat map;

[0094] After generating the heat map, the activity areas of the human body are initially delineated based on the distribution of human activity in the heat map. These activity areas are those areas in the heat map with a large number of human activity points, relatively high color or brightness, indicating that human activity is more frequent.

[0095] Step S4022: Determine the high-frequency dwelling areas of the human body in the kitchen space based on the number of human activity points and dwell time in each activity area.

[0096] After determining the human activity area, the number of human activity points in each activity area is further counted, and the average dwell time of these activity points is calculated to determine the high-frequency dwell area.

[0097] By comparing the number of human activity points and the duration of dwell time in different activity areas, we can identify the areas where human activity is most frequent and the dwell time is longest, i.e., high-frequency dwell areas. These areas are usually where people most often linger or pass through when active in the kitchen, such as near the stove or in the food preparation area.

[0098] Step S403: Determine the sheltered area from the high-frequency dwelling area.

[0099] After identifying the high-frequency dwell areas, a sheltered area is intelligently selected from these areas. The selection of this sheltered area aims to prevent the airflow from the kitchen air conditioning system from interfering with the stove flame, ensuring both efficiency and safety during cooking.

[0100] In one feasible embodiment, step S403 may include steps S4031 to S4032:

[0101] Step S4031: Based on the high-frequency dwell area, determine the food preparation area and the stove area of ​​the kitchen space in the heat map, wherein the dwell time of human activity points in the high-frequency dwell area corresponding to the food preparation area is greater than the dwell time of human activity points in the high-frequency dwell area corresponding to the stove area.

[0102] With the aid of heat maps, the functional areas of the kitchen space are further determined based on the characteristics of high-frequency dwell areas. Specifically, by comparing the dwell time of human activity points in each high-frequency dwell area, the food preparation area and the stove area are identified. Among them, the food preparation area, as the main place for food preparation, often has a longer dwell time of human activity points in its corresponding high-frequency dwell area than the stove area; the stove area, as the main place for cooking, although human activity is frequent, has a relatively shorter dwell time compared to the food preparation area.

[0103] Step S4032: Determine the stove area as a sheltered area in the kitchen space.

[0104] The designated stove area (i.e., the area where people spend the second longest time in the high-frequency activity zone) is set as a sheltered area in the kitchen space to avoid the output air of the kitchen air conditioning equipment interfering with the stove flame.

[0105] In one possible embodiment, step S4032 may be followed by step S4033:

[0106] Step S4033: Receive the position correction instruction and update the sheltered area in the kitchen space according to the position correction instruction.

[0107] In practical applications, kitchen layout, cooking habits, or user preferences may affect the accuracy of stove area determination. Therefore, when users find that the determined sheltered area does not match their actual needs, they can send a position correction command via voice or app control to trigger the correction process.

[0108] Upon receiving the location correction command sent by the user, the location of the sheltered area is immediately corrected. Generally speaking, the sheltered area is incorrectly determined when the food preparation area is mistakenly determined as the stove area. If the stove area is mistakenly determined as the food preparation area, the pre-determined food preparation area and stove area are swapped, and the newly determined stove area (i.e. the area where the human activity point stays the longest in the high-frequency area) is determined as the sheltered area.

[0109] In addition, in other feasible implementations, the sheltered areas within the kitchen space can be reassessed and updated based on new location information or adjustment suggestions provided by the user.

[0110] In summary, this embodiment utilizes a radar module to acquire real-time human activity data within the kitchen. Invalid data is filtered out to ensure the accuracy of subsequent analysis. The filtered human activity data is then mapped onto a two-dimensional plane of the kitchen space, generating an intuitive heat map that clearly displays the distribution of human activity. Based on this heat map, high-frequency dwell areas are identified, and the food preparation area and the stove area are distinguished according to the number and duration of human activity points. Finally, the stove area is intelligently designated as a sheltered area to prevent interference from kitchen air conditioning equipment on the stove flame during cooking, ensuring the comfort of the cook. Furthermore, this embodiment provides a flexible sheltered area correction function, allowing users to adjust the location of the sheltered area according to actual needs, further enhancing practicality and user experience. Thus, under the premise of low cost and simple operation, it effectively avoids interference from the output airflow of kitchen air conditioning equipment on the sheltered area (usually the stove area), providing users with a more comfortable cooking environment.

[0111] For example, to help understand the implementation flow of the kitchen air conditioning equipment control method obtained by combining the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, specifically:

[0112] Human activity data is collected using a radar module. This data includes the coordinates and duration of human activity, and can be in the form of (x, y, h). Taking a one-day collection period as an example, human activity data is recorded for the entire day, and the high-frequency residence areas of the human body are determined. Typically, at least the highest frequency residence area (x0, y0, h0) and the second highest frequency residence area (x1, y1, h1) are determined. Here, the coordinates represent the center of the residence area. Then, the second highest frequency residence area (x1, y1, h1) is determined as the stove area, which is designated as a sheltered area. When the radar module detects that the current position of the human body is within the sheltered area, the airflow direction of the kitchen air conditioning equipment is controlled to avoid the sheltered area, or the airflow speed of the kitchen air conditioning equipment is reduced. If the current position of the human body is outside the sheltered area, the airflow direction of the kitchen air conditioning equipment is controlled to be towards the current position of the human body. In addition, if a position correction command is received, the sheltered area within the kitchen space can be updated according to the position correction command.

[0113] To better understand the implementation process of the kitchen air conditioning equipment control method in this example, the following example is provided:

[0114] Real-time human activity data within the kitchen space is acquired via a radar module. By continuously observing the coordinates of people moving within the kitchen and filtering them to remove coordinates appearing less than 10 times, a heat map of human activity in the kitchen can be obtained. This heat map can be continuously updated over time, resulting in increasingly higher accuracy. The thermal distribution of human activity in the kitchen exhibits a very clear locational distribution over time. The two absolutely high-frequency locations are the stove and the food preparation area. The highest-frequency location for most users is the food preparation area, and the second highest-frequency location is the stove area. The determined heat map representation within the kitchen space is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the dots represent human activity points. The density of these points indicates the distribution of people within the kitchen space over a certain time period (e.g., one day). Based on the analysis of human activity data and the kitchen layout, the locations of the stove, food preparation area, kitchen entrance, air conditioner, and refrigerator can be determined. The stove area is then designated as a sheltered area. During the operation of the kitchen air conditioning equipment, the air outlet direction is adjusted to completely avoid the sheltered area. In addition to adjusting the air outlet direction, the air velocity of the air conditioning equipment can be reduced to further minimize the impact on the environment within the sheltered area. This reduces the interference of the output airflow on the sheltered area, ensuring a relatively stable environment and improving the efficiency and safety of the cooking process. Simultaneously, when people are outside the sheltered area, the output airflow of the kitchen air conditioning system is directed directly towards them to ensure the comfort of the cook.
