Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If simple fixed temperature adjustment control is used in sleep mode, then energy consumption is reduced to a certain extent, but user comfort requirements cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of the air conditioner by transitioning from fixed temperature adjustment to dynamic adjustment based on user physical characteristics. The system continuously monitors parameters such as heart rate and skin temperature, and dynamically adjusts the set temperature and compressor frequency in real-time to maintain optimal user comfort while managing energy consumption throughout the sleep cycle.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the control parameters from simple fixed temperature values to multiple physiological parameters including heart rate, skin temperature, and respiratory rate. By monitoring these parameter changes, the system can adaptively adjust air conditioner operations to match user physiological states, thereby improving comfort without excessive energy consumption.
2Device complexity
If simple fixed temperature adjustment control is used in sleep mode, then the control system remains simple, but advanced functionality and user-specific comfort requirements cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
The air conditioner system performs self-service by automatically monitoring user physiological parameters and adjusting its own operation without requiring manual user input. The system independently determines when the user is asleep based on heart rate and other parameters, then autonomously adjusts temperature and compressor settings, reducing the need for complex user interfaces while enhancing functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback control by continuously monitoring user physiological parameters (heart rate, skin temperature, respiratory rate) and using this feedback to adjust air conditioner operations. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the system to respond to user needs in real-time, providing advanced sleep mode functionality while maintaining manageable system complexity through algorithmic control.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for controlling an air conditioner, and a computer storage medium, and relates to the technical field of intelligent household appliances. The method includes acquiring a current physical characteristic parameter of an air conditioner user in a current sampling timeframe; and adjusting either or both of a current set temperature and a current compressor frequency of the air conditioner according to the current physical characteristic parameter and current energy consumption of the air conditioner when the current physical characteristic parameter falls within a set range of parameters in sleep. Therefore, energy conservation and a comfortable user experience are compatible, thereby providing more functions for the control of the air conditioner in the sleep mode.
