[0026] Conventional temperature control methods often rely on fixed preset rules and simple logic control, lacking comprehensive consideration of complex environmental factors and dynamic response capabilities. They are unable to cope with the problem of extremely uneven indoor temperature distribution, resulting in low temperature management efficiency and serious energy waste. This not only affects the comfort of the building's interior environment, but may also have adverse effects on the building structure and equipment lifespan.

[0027] In view of the above, this application provides a temperature control method, apparatus, device and storage medium to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the steps of a temperature control method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0029] The temperature control method provided in this application embodiment is applied to one or more electronic devices 10 (as shown in FIG2). The electronic device 10 is a device that can automatically perform numerical calculations and / or information processing according to pre-set or stored instructions. Its hardware includes, but is not limited to, microprocessors, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), digital signal processors (DSPs), embedded devices, etc.

[0030] In other embodiments, the electronic device 10 can be communicatively connected to devices such as desktop computers, laptops, handheld computers, and cloud servers. Users can interact with the electronic device 10 through a keyboard, mouse, remote control, touchpad, or voice control device.

[0031] Specifically, the temperature control method includes the following steps. Depending on different needs, the order of some steps in the flowchart may be changed, and some steps may be omitted.

[0032] Step S10: Obtain real-time environmental data of multiple areas within the building, and obtain the target temperature of the temperature control equipment in different areas.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, real-time environmental data includes temperature data and personnel activity data.

[0034] Specifically, the method for acquiring temperature data may include: installing temperature sensors 1 in different areas (e.g., area 1 and area 2) within the building, and having electronic devices 10 communicate with the temperature sensors 1. The temperature sensors 1 monitor the temperature data of each area within the building in real time, thereby allowing electronic devices 10 to collect temperature data from each temperature sensor 1.

[0035] The method for obtaining personnel activity data may include: setting up image sensors 2 (such as cameras) in different areas (e.g., area 1, area 2) within the building, and the electronic device 10 communicating with the image sensors 2. The image sensors 2 collect image data of each area within the building in real time, thereby the electronic device 10 collects image data of each area within the building from each image sensor 2, and performs preprocessing operations such as image denoising, background removal, and image enhancement on the image data, and extracts personnel activity features based on deep learning models (such as convolutional neural networks, recursive neural networks, etc.) to obtain personnel activity data.

[0036] The method for obtaining the target temperature may include: the electronic device 10 may integrate a management system for temperature control equipment, such as a centralized air conditioning control system, so as to obtain the target temperature set by the user for the temperature control equipment in different areas from the management system for integrated temperature control equipment.

[0037] In the above embodiments, temperature sensors 1 and image sensors 2 are installed in different areas of the building, which can monitor temperature data and personnel activity data in different areas in real time. This provides a more comprehensive picture of the actual environmental conditions for subsequent adjustment of the operating parameters of the temperature control equipment, thereby enabling precise adjustment of the temperature control equipment according to the actual environmental conditions. For example, ventilation can be increased in densely populated areas; and the target temperature can be lowered in areas with high temperatures to maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

[0038] In other embodiments, real-time environmental data may include, but is not limited to, humidity data, energy consumption data, sound data, etc.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the building may include, but is not limited to, residential buildings, office buildings, shopping malls, etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions on this. Multiple areas may include, but are not limited to, areas located in different locations.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, temperature control devices are installed in different areas of the building. These devices may be centralized temperature control systems, and may include, but are not limited to, compressors and fans.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, after acquiring real-time environmental data of multiple areas within a building, the electronic device 10 may also store the real-time environmental data in a preset local database or a preset cloud server.

[0042] In the above embodiments, storing real-time environmental data in a local database can improve the access speed of real-time environmental data, enabling real-time responses when analyzing real-time environmental data in subsequent steps. It also reduces the risk of real-time environmental data being intercepted or leaked during transmission, helping to protect the security and privacy of real-time environmental data within the building. Even in the event of network instability or interruption, the local database can still function normally, ensuring the continuity and integrity of the real-time environmental data. Cloud servers typically have automatic backup and recovery functions, effectively preventing the loss and damage of real-time environmental data, ensuring its integrity and availability. Cloud servers allow building managers, maintenance personnel, and others from different locations to access real-time environmental data via the Internet, enabling remote monitoring and management, supporting multi-person collaboration, and improving work efficiency and the convenience of sharing real-time environmental data.

[0043] Step S11: Using a preset artificial intelligence model, based on real-time environmental data, predict the temperature change trend of each region and identify the temperature difference information between different regions.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, before performing step S11, the electronic device 10 needs to associate the location marker of each region with the real-time environmental data of each region, so as to predict the temperature change trend of each region and the temperature difference information between different regions based on the real-time environmental data of each region.

[0045] Specifically, step S11, using a preset artificial intelligence model, predicts the temperature change trend of each region based on real-time environmental data, and identifies the temperature difference information between different regions. Specifically, this includes: preprocessing the real-time environmental data of each region to obtain preprocessed real-time environmental data; using an artificial intelligence model, based on the preprocessed real-time environmental data, predicting the temperature change trend of each region, and identifying the temperature difference information between different regions.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the operation of preprocessing the real-time environmental data of each region may include, but is not limited to, data cleaning, which can remove noise, missing values ​​or outliers, and ensure the accuracy of the real-time environmental data.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the training method for the artificial intelligence model may include: determining a suitable artificial intelligence algorithm based on the characteristics of real-time environmental data, such as a long short-term memory network, a support vector machine, or a deep learning model, for constructing the artificial intelligence model. The artificial intelligence model is trained using historical environmental data and related temperature change trends and temperature difference information as a training set, enabling the artificial intelligence model to accurately predict temperature change trends over a future period and identify temperature difference information between different regions.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the temperature control method may further include the following steps: collecting feedback on the actual temperature change trend, actual temperature difference information and the prediction results of the artificial intelligence model, and evaluating the accuracy of the prediction of the artificial intelligence model; continuously optimizing and adjusting the artificial intelligence model based on the feedback information to improve the prediction accuracy and robustness; and regularly updating the artificial intelligence model to adapt to new application scenarios and data characteristics.

[0049] In the above embodiments, artificial intelligence models, through complex mathematical models and machine learning techniques, can identify patterns and trends in data to predict temperature change trends and potential temperature differences over a future period, such as localized overheating or undercooling areas, abnormal temperature fluctuations, etc., which helps to formulate and adjust strategies more scientifically. Furthermore, artificial intelligence models can automatically and quickly process large amounts of real-time environmental data, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of data processing. At the same time, artificial intelligence models can continuously learn and optimize, constantly improving their analytical capabilities and prediction accuracy.

[0050] Step S12: Using a preset strategy prediction model, the operating parameters of the temperature control equipment are dynamically adjusted based on the temperature change trend, temperature difference information and target temperature.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, step S12, which uses a preset strategy prediction model to dynamically adjust the operating parameters of the temperature control device based on temperature change trends, temperature difference information and target temperature, specifically includes: using a preset strategy prediction model to generate a control strategy based on temperature change trends, temperature difference information and target temperature; and dynamically adjusting the operating parameters of the temperature control device according to the control strategy.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the operating parameters may include, but are not limited to, cooling power, heating power, wind speed, wind direction, and air volume.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the control strategy may include, but is not limited to, adjusting the target temperature of the temperature control device, changing the working mode (e.g., heating, cooling, standby), adjusting the wind speed, adjusting the wind direction, adjusting the air volume, etc.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, the training method for the policy prediction model may include: determining a suitable machine learning model, such as a decision tree, random forest, or neural network, based on temperature change trends, temperature difference information, and target temperature, to construct the policy prediction model. The pre-stored control strategies and corresponding historical temperature change trends, historical temperature difference information, and historical target temperatures are used as a training set to train the policy prediction model, enabling it to accurately generate control strategies.

[0055] In the above embodiments, by using a strategy prediction model, based on temperature change trends, temperature difference information, and target temperature, accurate prediction of the control strategy is made. This enables dynamic adjustment of the operating parameters of the temperature control equipment to ensure that the indoor temperature is always maintained within the set target range, avoiding excessive temperature fluctuations, improving the accuracy and stability of temperature control, reducing unnecessary energy consumption, and achieving the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction. Because the accuracy and stability of temperature control are improved, users can enjoy a more comfortable environment. Whether in homes, offices, or public places, a balanced and comfortable temperature can be maintained to meet people's comfort needs, providing users with a more convenient and efficient user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the temperature control method may further include the following steps:

[0057] Step S13: Obtain a query command for the control problem of the temperature control device.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, a chatbot 3 may be provided to users (e.g., floor managers, maintenance personnel, residents, etc.) to obtain user query commands regarding temperature control equipment. These query commands may include, but are not limited to, voice information. The chatbot 3 is communicatively connected to the electronic device 10.

[0059] In other embodiments, users can also raise questions about the adjustment of the temperature control device through various electronic devices 10 such as websites, mobile phones, and computers. This application does not limit the user's dialogue mode.

[0060] Step S14: Based on the query command and control strategy, provide the user with control suggestions for the control problem.

[0061] Specifically, step S14, based on the query command and control strategy, provides the user with control suggestions for the control problem, which specifically includes: identifying key information from the query command; retrieving historical information related to the key information from the preset control database based on the key information; providing the user with control suggestions for the control problem based on the historical information and control strategy, and displaying the control suggestions through the display device 4.

[0062] It should be noted that the steps shown in Figure 3 below describe in detail how to provide users with control suggestions for control issues based on query commands and control strategies. To avoid repetition, they will not be repeated here.

[0063] The temperature control method of this application realizes real-time monitoring, intelligent analysis and dynamic control of the temperature inside the building, improves the temperature balance between different areas inside the building, enhances the temperature management efficiency and user comfort inside the building, and also reduces energy consumption and improves energy utilization.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of the steps of a temperature control method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0065] This embodiment is a detailed explanation of step S14 in the aforementioned embodiment, further illustrating how to provide users with control suggestions for control issues based on query commands and control strategies. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S141: Identify key information from the query command.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, key information is accurately extracted from query instructions using natural language processing technology or a preset keyword matching algorithm.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, key information includes, but is not limited to, operating mode, runtime, and control requirements.

[0069] Step S142: Based on the key information, retrieve historical information related to the key information from the preset control database.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, the control database stores user control information and habits for different temperature control devices under different environmental conditions. Using preset retrieval algorithms (such as index lookup, full-text search, etc.), historical information related to the current query command is quickly located.

[0071] Step S143: Based on historical information and control strategies, provide users with control suggestions for control issues and display the control suggestions on the display device.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the retrieved historical information and the predicted control strategy are combined to perform reasoning and calculation to generate personalized control suggestions for users.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the display device 4 may include, but is not limited to, a screen, a projection device, a mobile device (mobile phone, laptop computer, handheld computer), etc.

[0074] In the above embodiments, through automation and intelligence, user queries can be responded to quickly, and personalized control suggestions can be generated. This is more intuitive and convenient, helping to improve user satisfaction and experience. It also enables more precise control of the temperature control equipment, avoiding unnecessary energy waste, thereby achieving the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction. The generated control suggestions are displayed to the user through the display device 4, which is more intuitive and convenient, helping to improve user satisfaction and experience.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the temperature control method may further include the following steps: acquiring energy consumption data of the temperature control device; adjusting the control strategy based on the energy consumption data, temperature change trend and temperature difference information.

[0076] Specifically, the temperature control equipment may have an energy consumption monitoring function, which can record and display energy consumption data in real time.

[0077] In the above embodiments, by adjusting the control strategy, the energy consumption of the temperature control equipment can be effectively reduced, and the energy efficiency level can be improved. The optimized control strategy can better adapt to temperature changes and maintain the stability and comfort of the indoor temperature. It can also reduce unnecessary energy consumption and equipment wear and tear, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, the temperature control method may further include the following steps: obtaining feedback information on the control strategy; and adjusting the control strategy based on the feedback information.

[0079] In the above embodiments, by obtaining feedback information, shortcomings of the control strategy in practical applications can be identified in a timely manner, thereby enabling targeted adjustments. This dynamic adjustment process makes the control strategy more adaptable to changes in the actual environment and conditions, enhancing its adaptability and flexibility. By analyzing feedback information, deficiencies in resource allocation and use can be identified, thereby enabling optimization adjustments, which helps reduce resource waste, improve resource utilization efficiency, and lower maintenance costs. By obtaining user feedback information, the actual feelings and satisfaction of users with the control strategy can be understood, thereby enabling improvements and optimizations, and enhancing the overall user experience and satisfaction.

[0094] The storage unit 113 is used to store real-time environmental data to a preset local database or a preset cloud server.

[0095] In the above embodiments, storing real-time environmental data in a local database can improve the access speed of real-time environmental data, enabling real-time responses when analyzing real-time environmental data in subsequent steps. It also reduces the risk of real-time environmental data being intercepted or leaked during transmission, helping to protect the security and privacy of real-time environmental data within the building.
