Air Cleaner Prompting Based on Open Door and Window Status
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Air cleaners struggle to maintain high purification efficiency when doors or windows in the same room are open, leading to reduced effectiveness in air purification.
Innovation Solution
A network-side device receives and analyzes the open/closed status of doors and windows using a door-and-window sensor and the working status of an air cleaner, sending prompt messages to close the doors or shut down the air cleaner if it detects the air cleaner is operational with open doors or windows, ensuring optimal purification efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If the air cleaner is operated continuously to improve air purification, then the purification duration is extended, but the purification efficiency deteriorates when doors or windows are open
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors door and window status through sensors and provides real-time feedback to users via prompt messages. When doors or windows are detected as open, the system sends notifications to close them, enabling users to adjust behavior based on system feedback to maintain optimal purification conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system proactively detects open door or window conditions and sends prompt messages to users before significant air quality degradation occurs. This preliminary warning allows users to close doors or windows in advance, preventing the deterioration of purification efficiency rather than reacting after the problem has fully manifested.
2Duration of action of stationary object
If the air cleaner operates with open doors or windows, then the air cleaner runs continuously, but the air purification effect deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements continuous monitoring of environmental conditions through door and window sensors, providing real-time feedback to users. When open conditions are detected, prompt messages are sent to notify users, enabling them to take corrective action to maintain reliable purification performance throughout the operation duration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects open door or window conditions and generates prompt messages without requiring manual user intervention. The monitoring and notification functions operate autonomously, allowing the system to self-monitor and self-notify users, reducing the need for manual checking while maintaining reliable purification effects.
3Device complexity
If no door and window status monitoring is implemented, then the system is simpler, but the air purification effectiveness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Door and window sensors serve as intermediary devices that detect environmental conditions and transmit this information to the central control system. These sensors act as mediators between the physical environment (open/closed doors and windows) and the digital notification system, enabling effective purification monitoring without requiring complex integrated monitoring in the air cleaner itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system is segmented into independent components: door sensors, window sensors, central control unit, and notification system. This segmentation allows the air cleaner to remain relatively simple while adding monitoring functionality through separate, modular sensor units that can be independently installed and managed.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method for sending a prompt message and an apparatus for sending a prompt message, and belongs to a field of intelligent household technology. The method includes: receiving an open/closed status of a door and window corresponding to a door-and-window sensor; obtaining a working status of an air cleaner bound with the door-and-window sensor when at least one of the door and window corresponding to the door-and-window sensor is in an open status; detecting whether the working status of the air cleaner is a starting status; and sending the prompt message in a predetermined manner if it is detected that the working status of the air cleaner is the starting status, in which the prompt message is configured to indicate to close the at least one of the door and window in a room containing the air cleaner or to close the air cleaner. The prompt message is sent if a network-side device determines that the air cleaner is in a working status and at least one of the door and window of the room is open. It is possible to solve the problem of low purification efficiency of the air cleaner due to the opened at least one of the door and window, and to achieve an effect of guaranteeing the purification efficiency of the air cleaner.
