Solution Overview

Problem

Current intelligent air-conditioning systems lack efficient temperature distribution and power management due to single sensor placement, inadequate fan direction adjustment, and lack of occupancy detection, leading to inefficient operation and increased power consumption.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent air-conditioning controlling system with multiple beacons and a controlling device that senses environment information across different zones, adjusts fan speed and direction, and accounts for user presence to optimize temperature distribution and energy use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single sensor is used for temperature sensing, then the system structure is simple, but the temperature distribution control is inaccurate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature sensing accuracyVSAvoidsensor arrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the space into multiple zones, each equipped with its own sensor and beacon. This segmentation allows independent temperature monitoring and control in each zone, improving overall temperature distribution accuracy without requiring a single complex centralized system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each zone is equipped with local sensing and control capabilities through beacons and sensors positioned strategically throughout the space. This enables localized temperature adjustment based on actual conditions in each area, rather than uniform control from a single point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If the air-conditioning controls the entire space temperature, then the overall environment is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental comfortVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system adjusts temperature locally in specific zones where discomfort is detected, rather than cooling or heating the entire space. The controllable air outlet directs conditioned air precisely to zones needing adjustment, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining comfort where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The air-conditioning system performs partial control by targeting only the specific zones that require temperature adjustment, rather than uniformly conditioning the entire space. This partial action approach reduces energy consumption while still achieving the desired comfort level in affected areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Stability of the object's composition

If fan direction is adjusted manually or automatically without reference, then the system is simple to operate, but indoor temperature balance is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindoor temperature balanceVSAvoidfan direction control
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The beacon detects temperature information from multiple zones and provides feedback to the air-conditioning system. Based on this feedback, the system automatically adjusts fan direction to optimize temperature distribution, achieving stable indoor temperature balance through continuous monitoring and adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The air-conditioning system automatically adjusts its own fan direction based on temperature feedback from beacons, without requiring manual intervention. This self-service capability maintains temperature balance while simplifying operation for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An intelligent air-conditioning controlling system at least comprises an intelligent controlling device, an air-conditioning, and a plurality of beacons respectively arranged at different zones of a space for sensing environment information in the space. The intelligent controlling device receives the environment information from the beacons, and determines if the space is a comfortable environment based on the environment information. If the entire space is determined an uncomfortable environment, the intelligent controlling device controls the air-conditioning to directly set a target temperature to a comfortable range. If only a specific zone of the space is determined the uncomfortable environment, the intelligent controlling device controls the air-conditioning to execute an adjusting operation in accordance with a position of the specific zone.
