Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a configuration parameter determining method of a water heater according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the configuration parameter determining method of the water heater includes the following steps:

step S202, obtaining characteristic parameters corresponding to the target water heater, wherein the characteristic parameters comprise: can be used as data for determining the target configuration parameters.

The characteristic parameters may include, but are not limited to, the following: a parameter for indicating a current temperature, a parameter for indicating a weather condition, a parameter for indicating a home temperature of a user of the target water heater, a parameter for indicating a time period.

Through the steps, the configuration parameters of the target water heater can be determined according to the acquired characteristic parameters of the target water heater, the configuration parameters are sent to the target water heater, and the target water heater can operate according to the configuration parameters. Compared with the prior art that the traditional water heater does not have self-learning capability, configuration parameters for configuring the operation of the water heater cannot be recommended to a user, the use process of the water heater is complicated due to the fact that the user needs to repeatedly set when the user needs to use the water heater every time, and the defect of user experience is overcome. The method for determining the configuration parameters of the water heater provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize the purpose of determining the configuration parameters for configuring the operation of the water heater based on the characteristic parameters provided by the user and directly using the configuration parameters to operate the water heater under the condition allowed by the user, thereby achieving the technical effects of simplifying the configuration process of the water heater and improving the intelligent degree of the water heater, further solving the technical problems that the water heater in the related technology has no self-learning capability and the user experience is low due to more complicated use process and improving the user experience.

It should be noted that, the predetermined user may include at least one of the following: the system comprises a user of the target water heater and a group of users, wherein the group of users are users with the similarity to the user of the target water heater, and the similarity is determined according to at least configuration parameters and/or characteristic parameters set for the water heater by the user.

When the predetermined user is a user of the target water heater, the configuration parameter may be a parameter determined according to a habit of the user of the target water heater to use the target water heater at ordinary times; in addition, when the predetermined user is a group of users, the configuration parameters of the target water heater can be determined according to the water heater configuration parameters of the users with the habit similarity of using the water heater by the user of the target water heater, which meets a certain condition.

As an optional embodiment of the present invention, before obtaining the configuration parameters corresponding to the characteristic parameters from the predetermined data set, the method for determining the configuration parameters of the water heater may further include: acquiring users, the similarity of which with the user of the target water heater meets a second preset condition, from the users acquiring the configuration parameters and/or the characteristic parameters to generate a group of users; calculating the probability of the same configuration parameter of a group of users under each characteristic parameter to generate a predetermined data set.

When the user uses the target water heater at first, because the database of the server end does not store the configuration parameters of the target dehumidifier under different characteristic parameters, at this time, the attributes (i.e. the characteristic parameters) of the user of the target water heater, such as time period (early, middle and late), week, weather, current temperature and the like, can be obtained first, then a reference user similar to the attributes of the user of the target water heater is obtained by using a collaborative filtering algorithm, and the configuration parameters of the target water heater are determined according to the configuration parameters of the water heater by the reference user. After the target water heater is used for a period of time, the characteristic parameters or the configuration parameters stored in the database of the server side of the target water heater reach a certain grade, and the configuration parameters of the target water heater can be determined by using a Bayesian algorithm. The data corresponding to a number of users is given in table 2. The characteristic parameters determined by the user of the target water heater are as follows: 20:00, tuesday, 30 ℃, sunny. Then, the above characteristic parameters may be used as conditions to perform traversal, so as to obtain a reference user (i.e., the above group of users) whose similarity to the user characteristic parameter of the target water heater is greater than a certain threshold (i.e., the above second preset condition), if the similarity of the above second preset condition is greater than 60%, then the user 1, the user 3, the user 4, and the user 6 belong to the above group of users, and the probability of occurrence of the same configuration parameter of the group of users under each characteristic parameter is calculated, so as to obtain a predetermined data set.

TABLE 2

In the above embodiment, the step of obtaining, according to the configuration parameter and/or the characteristic parameter, a group of users whose similarity to the user of the target water heater meets a second predetermined condition includes: taking the configuration parameters and/or the characteristic parameters as input of a predetermined algorithm model, wherein the predetermined algorithm model may comprise one of the following: clustering algorithm and collaborative filtering algorithm; outputting the similarity between the user acquiring the configuration parameters and/or the characteristic parameters and the user of the target water heater through a preset algorithm model; and finding users which are similar to the second preset condition generates a group of users.

For example, the characteristic parameters may be: and (3) taking 20:00, tuesday and 30 ℃ sunny as the input of the collaborative filtering algorithm, obtaining users corresponding to the characteristic parameters and meeting a second preset condition with the user similarity of the target water heater through the output of the collaborative filtering algorithm, and taking the users as a group of users.

Preferably, the second predetermined condition is that the degree of similarity exceeds a first threshold. The first threshold may be set according to actual conditions.

The collaborative filtering algorithm in the above embodiment may include at least one of: cosine angle similarity, Pearson correlation coefficient. In addition, the collaborative filtering algorithm may also include Euclidean distances.

Wherein, the collaborative filtering algorithm may include at least one of: cosine angle similarity, Pearson correlation coefficient. In the embodiment of the present invention, the cosine included angle similarity may be utilized to determine a user with a higher similarity to a target water heater usage habit of the user of the target water heater, where the cosine included angle similarity is to use water heater usage data (e.g., characteristic parameters, configuration parameters) of multiple users as one-dimensional or multi-dimensional arrays, determine a cosine value corresponding to an included angle formed by each array in a coordinate system, obtain users with similar water heater usage habits according to the cosine value, that is, classify water heater users according to the water heater usage data; the Pearson correlation coefficient can also be used to determine the user with higher similarity to the water heater usage habit of the user of the target water heater, wherein the Pearson correlation coefficient is used to measure whether a plurality of data sets are on a straight line or not and measure the linear relationship between distance variables.

As an optional embodiment of the present invention, in order to make the configuration parameter recommended by the server more consistent with the usage habit of the user of the target water heater, in the above embodiment, calculating the probability of the occurrence of the same configuration parameter of a group of users under each feature parameter may include: counting the occurrence times of the same configuration parameters, and calculating a first probability of the occurrence of the same configuration parameters according to the occurrence times; acquiring the occurrence times of the same configuration parameters under each characteristic parameter, and calculating a second probability of the same configuration parameters under the characteristic parameters according to the occurrence times; and acquiring the probability of the same configuration parameter under each characteristic parameter according to the first probability and the second probability.

Counting the occurrence times of the same configuration parameters, calculating a first probability of the occurrence of the same configuration parameters according to the occurrence times, and determining a first probability (namely the prior probability in the context) according to the occurrence times of each or each group of configuration parameters under the condition of not considering the characteristic parameters; the obtaining of the number of times of occurrence of the same configuration parameter under each feature parameter is to obtain the number of times of occurrence of the same configuration parameter under the feature parameter under the condition that the feature parameter is considered, and calculate a second probability (i.e., a conditional probability in the context) of occurrence of the same configuration parameter according to the number of times. And then, obtaining the probability of the same configuration parameter under each characteristic parameter according to the first probability and the second probability, namely calculating the probability of the same configuration parameter under each characteristic parameter of a group of users.

Preferably, the obtaining the probability of the occurrence of the same configuration parameter under each feature parameter according to the first probability and the second probability comprises: weighting and summing the first probability and the second probability to obtain the probability of the same configuration parameter under each characteristic parameter; or multiplying the first probability and the second probability to obtain the probability of the same configuration parameter under each characteristic parameter.

For example, because the importance of the contextual parameters affecting the configuration parameters is different, the functions corresponding to each configuration parameter may also have different roles in the water heater, and for some functions that are frequently used after the water heater is turned on, the weight of the functions may be increased, and for some functions that are frequently used by users, a smaller weight may be set. So that the configuration parameter recommended for the user can be made low in noise data.

Compared with the prior art that the traditional water heater does not have self-learning capability, configuration parameters for configuring the operation of the water heater cannot be recommended to a user, the use process of the water heater is complicated due to the fact that the user needs to repeatedly set when the user needs to use the water heater every time, and the defect of user experience is overcome.
