In this embodiment, the execution main body of this embodiment may be an air conditioner control device, the air conditioner control device may be an electronic device such as a personal computer or a server, or may be another controller capable of implementing the same or similar functions.
It should be noted that the remote control technology is also called remote control technology and is widely applied in the field of household appliances, and a user can remotely control household appliances through the remote control technology, such as remotely starting the household appliances, remotely turning off the household appliances, and remotely setting device parameters of the household appliances. The infrared remote control technology is essentially to transmit information by means of infrared light waves so as to realize control of household appliances. In practical application, the implementation of the infrared remote control technology needs to be implemented through an infrared light emitter and an infrared light receiver, the infrared light emitter generally adopts an infrared light emitting diode to emit modulated infrared light waves, the infrared receiver can receive the infrared light waves emitted by the infrared emitter, extract corresponding information from the received infrared light waves, and control of the household appliance is implemented through a controller in the household appliance according to the information. In an actual scene, when a user needs to control the household appliance, the remote controller transmits an infrared signal, and the air conditioner receives the remote control infrared signal transmitted by the remote controller through the remote control infrared signal receiving head and correspondingly controls the air conditioner according to the remote control infrared signal. Further, the conventional air conditioner can receive a remote control infrared signal emitted from a remote control such as a mobile phone and can detect a gesture motion of a user. In order to realize gesture control, an infrared light emitting head and a gesture infrared signal receiving head are further arranged in the existing air conditioner, after infrared light is emitted by the infrared light emitting head, the gesture infrared signal receiving head can receive gesture infrared signals by means of reflection of the hand of a user on the infrared light, and the air conditioner is correspondingly controlled according to the gesture infrared signals. It should be emphasized that the infrared signals received by the remote control infrared signal receiving head and the gesture infrared signal receiving head in the existing air conditioner are different, the remote control infrared signal receiving head can receive the infrared signals transmitted by the user through the remote controller, the gesture infrared signal receiving head can receive the infrared signals reflected by the hand of the user, in order to simultaneously support the infrared remote control and gesture recognition functions, besides an infrared transmitting head, at least a remote control infrared signal receiving head and a gesture infrared signal receiving head are required to be arranged on the air conditioner, which increases the cost of the air conditioner, as shown in fig. 3, the infrared transmitter 1 is an infrared transmitter, the SENSOR1 is a gesture infrared signal receiver, the SENSOR2 is a remote control infrared signal receiver, the SENSOR1 is used for receiving infrared signals reflected by the hand of a user, and the SENSOR2 is used for receiving infrared signals transmitted by the user through a remote controller.
It should be noted that, in order to solve the above problems and reduce the cost of the air conditioner, in this embodiment, a set of infrared transmitter and infrared receiver is disposed in the air conditioner, and the infrared receiver can receive both the remote control infrared signal and the gesture infrared signal, and one infrared receiver can be used to simultaneously implement the infrared remote control and gesture recognition functions, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the air conditioner, as shown in fig. 4, wherein, IR1 is an infrared transmitter, SENSOR3 is a receiver that supports both the gesture infrared signal and the remote control infrared signal, and SENSOR3 can simultaneously receive the infrared signal reflected by the hand of the user and the infrared signal transmitted by the user through the remote controller. The types of the infrared receiving head and the infrared transmitting head in this embodiment may be selected accordingly according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In specific implementation, in order to enable the air conditioner to support the infrared remote control and gesture recognition functions at the same time, in this embodiment, the gesture sensing function of the air conditioner is started, and because the gesture recognition function is realized by receiving the infrared signal reflected by the hand of the user through the infrared receiving head, when the gesture sensing function of the air conditioner is started, the infrared emitting head of the air conditioner is started, and the infrared emitting head is controlled to emit red and outer signals to the indoor environment, which may be a room where the air conditioner is located or other indoor areas, which is not limited in this embodiment. Further, in this embodiment, the gesture sensing function of the air conditioner may be turned on based on an opening instruction input by a user, and a preset time may be set, and when the preset time is reached, the gesture sensing function of the air conditioner is automatically turned on, and a specific manner may be selected accordingly according to an actual requirement, and the preset time may be set accordingly according to an actual situation, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Step S20: and acquiring the current infrared signal received by the infrared receiving head from the indoor environment.
It should be noted that the infrared receiving head in this embodiment is always turned on and is in a receiving state, so as to ensure that the current infrared signal in the indoor environment can be received at any time, where the current infrared signal is an infrared signal received by the infrared receiving head at the current time. Further, in this embodiment, the infrared receiving head may be turned on when the gesture sensing function is turned on, and the infrared receiving head is adjusted to the receiving state, the turning on of the infrared receiving head is not required to be synchronous with the turning on of the gesture sensing function, the infrared receiving head may be automatically turned on and turned on according to the setting of the user or at a preset time, and the infrared receiving head is adjusted to the receiving state, specifically, the turning on mode may be set correspondingly according to an actual requirement, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Step S30: and detecting the signal type of the current infrared signal.
It should be noted that, when the infrared transmitting head and the infrared receiving head of the air conditioner are turned on simultaneously, the air conditioner can also receive the remote control infrared signal since it receives the gesture infrared signal, and the signal parameters of different infrared signals are different, such as different boot codes and information codes, and the control parameters included therein are also different, and the infrared receiving head does not know whether the received gesture infrared signal or the remote control infrared signal is the gesture infrared signal before receiving the infrared signal, and therefore needs to detect the signal type of the current infrared signal.
Step S40: and controlling the air conditioner according to the signal type and the current infrared signal.
In a specific implementation, after determining the signal type, in this embodiment, based on the decoding manners corresponding to different signal types, control information may be extracted from the current infrared signal according to the corresponding decoding manners, and then the air conditioner may be controlled according to the extracted control information. Further, in this embodiment, the current infrared signal received by the infrared receiving head may also be sent to the server, the server detects the signal type corresponding to the current infrared signal and extracts corresponding control information from the current infrared signal, and the control information is sent to the controller of the air conditioner, so that the controller controls the air conditioner according to the control information extracted by the server, thereby reducing the data processing pressure of the air conditioner. The air conditioner may establish a communication connection with a server through an internet manner, where the server in this embodiment is not limited to a computer, a network host, a single network server, a cloud server formed by multiple network server sets or multiple servers, where the cloud server is formed by a large number of computers or network servers based on cloud computing (cloud computing).
This embodiment is through when opening gesture response function, through infrared emission head is to indoor environment transmission infrared signal, acquires infrared receiving head follows received current infrared signal in the indoor environment detects current infrared signal's signal type, according to signal type with current infrared signal is right the air conditioner is controlled, carries out the detection of signal type through carrying out the current infrared signal that infrared receiving head received, controls the air conditioner correspondingly according to the infrared signal of the different signal types that detect, utilizes an infrared receiving head to support infrared gesture recognition and infrared remote control to receive simultaneously, has reduced the cost of air conditioner.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of an air conditioner according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
Based on the first embodiment, in the air conditioner control method according to this embodiment, the step S30 includes:
step S301: and detecting whether a preset coding identifier exists in the current infrared signal.
In specific implementation, in order to improve the accuracy of signal type detection, in this embodiment, when a signal type corresponding to a current infrared signal is detected, a preset code identifier is used as a basis. Compared with a gesture infrared signal, the remote control infrared signal has a more finished coding structure, a complete remote control infrared signal is divided into two parts, the first part is a guiding code, the second part is a remote control information code, in the embodiment, whether a preset coding identifier exists in the current infrared signal is detected to determine whether the current infrared signal is the remote control infrared signal, so that the signal type corresponding to the current signal is determined, the preset coding identifier in the embodiment can be set as the guiding code, and the signal type corresponding to the current infrared signal is finally obtained by identifying the guiding code. It should be emphasized that the preset encoding flag in this embodiment may also be set as another encoding flag, and may be set accordingly based on the signal detection requirement, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Step S302: and when the preset coding identification exists in the current infrared signal, determining that the signal type of the current infrared signal is a remote control infrared signal.
It is easy to understand that, because the preset coding identifier exists in the complete remote control infrared signal, when the preset coding identifier is detected from the current infrared signal, it can be determined that the current infrared signal is the remote control infrared signal, that is, the signal type of the current infrared signal is the remote control infrared signal.
In a specific implementation, when it is determined that the current infrared signal is the remote control infrared signal, in this embodiment, the remote control information code may be extracted from the current infrared signal after the guidance code is detected based on a complete coding structure of the remote control infrared signal, that is, a structure of the guidance code plus the remote control information code, where the remote control information code includes specific control information, for example, control information such as starting an air conditioner, shutting down the air conditioner, or adjusting a set temperature of the air conditioner, and then the controller controls the air conditioner according to the control information.
Further, when the signal type belongs to a remote control infrared signal, it is indicated that the user controls the air conditioner through the remote controller at the moment, and when the gesture sensing function of the air conditioner is started, the infrared emitting head of the air conditioner emits infrared light outwards in real time, and the infrared light emitted by the remote controller generates infrared interference with the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitting head at the moment. Usually, the infrared light wave emitted by the infrared light emitter is the same as the infrared light wave received by the infrared receiver, but this situation is premised on that the infrared light wave emitted by the infrared light emitter is not interfered, if the infrared light wave is interfered, the infrared light wave emitted by the infrared light emitter is different from the infrared light wave received by the infrared receiver, that is, the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitting head interferes with the infrared light emitted by the remote controller, which makes the remote control infrared signal received by the air conditioner inconsistent with the remote control infrared signal sent by the user through the remote controller, which makes the user unable to control the air conditioner through the remote controller, for example, when the user sends a closing signal to the air conditioner through the remote controller, the air conditioner actually receives a closing signal due to the infrared interference, the air conditioner is not turned off.
In specific implementation, in this embodiment, in order to avoid the existence of infrared interference, when detecting that the current infrared signal is a remote control infrared signal, the infrared emitting head of the air conditioner is temporarily turned off, so that the infrared emitting head does not continuously emit the infrared signal to the indoor environment, thereby avoiding the existence of the infrared interference phenomenon. Further, if the infrared emission head is always turned off, the air conditioner cannot simultaneously support the gesture control and the infrared remote control, so in this embodiment, after the infrared emission head is turned off for a period of time, the infrared emission head is turned on again, if a remote control infrared signal is received after the infrared emission head is restarted, the above process is circulated, and if a gesture action signal is received, the infrared emission head is not required to be turned off. In this embodiment, the time length for turning off the infrared emission head, that is, the turn-off time length, is recorded, and whether the infrared emission head can be restarted is determined according to the comparison between the turn-off time length and the preset time length, it is emphasized that, in this embodiment, the preset time length needs to be set as the signal cycle time length of the remote control infrared signal, so that the turn-off time length of the infrared emission head can be ensured to exceed a complete cycle of the remote control infrared signal, thereby effectively avoiding generating infrared interference, and the signal cycle time length of the remote control infrared signal can be selected accordingly according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment.
This embodiment is through detecting whether there is the code sign of predetermineeing in the current infrared signal exist in the current infrared signal when predetermineeing the code sign, confirm current infrared signal's signal type is remote control infrared signal, detects current infrared signal's signal type through predetermineeing the code sign, when reducing the air conditioner cost, has guaranteed that the air conditioner can accurately discern remote control infrared signal and gesture infrared signal, and it is long to predetermine through closing infrared emission head again simultaneously, guarantees not to produce the interference between the different infrared signal to the accuracy of air conditioner control has been guaranteed.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of an air conditioner according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
Based on the second embodiment, a third embodiment of the air conditioner control method according to the present invention is provided, in this embodiment, after step S301, the method further includes:
step S302': and when the preset coding identification does not exist in the current infrared signal, determining that the signal type of the current infrared signal is a gesture infrared signal.
It is easy to understand that if the preset coding identifier is detected to exist in the current infrared signal, it is indicated that the current infrared signal is a gesture action signal, and the gesture infrared signal does not have a coding structure like the remote control infrared signal, so that when the preset coding identifier does not exist in the current infrared signal, it can be determined that the current infrared signal is a gesture infrared signal, that is, the signal type is a gesture infrared signal.
Further, when it is determined that the current infrared signal is the gesture infrared signal, the gesture infrared signals reflected by different gesture actions are different, in this embodiment, gesture action information may be extracted from the gesture infrared signal, and the gesture action information includes specific control information, for example, control information such as starting an air conditioner, turning off the air conditioner, or adjusting a set temperature of the air conditioner, and then the controller controls the air conditioner according to the control information.
In this embodiment, when the preset coding identifier does not exist in the current infrared signal, it is determined that the signal type of the current infrared signal is a gesture infrared signal, and when the signal type is the gesture infrared signal, gesture action information is extracted from the gesture infrared signal, the air conditioner is controlled according to the gesture action information, and the air conditioner is controlled through the extracted gesture action information, so that the accuracy of air conditioner control is improved.
Furthermore, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a storage medium, where an air conditioner control program is stored, and the air conditioner control program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the air conditioner control method as described above.
Since the storage medium adopts all technical solutions of all the embodiments, at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the embodiments are achieved, and no further description is given here.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a control apparatus for an air conditioner according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 7, an air conditioner control device according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to an air conditioner including: the infrared transmitting head and the infrared receiving head;
the air conditioner control device includes:
and the transmitting module 10 is used for transmitting an infrared signal to an indoor environment through the infrared transmitting head when the gesture sensing function is started.
In this embodiment, the execution main body of this embodiment may be an air conditioner control device, the air conditioner control device may be an electronic device such as a personal computer or a server, and may also be another controller capable of implementing the same or similar functions.
It should be noted that the remote control technology is also called remote control technology and is widely applied in the field of household appliances, and a user can remotely control household appliances through the remote control technology, such as remotely starting the household appliances, remotely turning off the household appliances, and remotely setting device parameters of the household appliances. The infrared remote control technology is essentially to transmit information by means of infrared light waves so as to realize control of household appliances.

In an actual scene, when a user needs to control the household appliance, the remote controller transmits an infrared signal, and the air conditioner receives the remote control infrared signal transmitted by the remote controller through the remote control infrared signal receiving head and correspondingly controls the air conditioner according to the remote control infrared signal. Further, the conventional air conditioner can receive a remote control infrared signal emitted from a remote control such as a mobile phone and can detect a gesture motion of a user. In order to realize gesture control, an infrared light emitting head and a gesture infrared signal receiving head are further arranged in the existing air conditioner, after infrared light is emitted by the infrared light emitting head, the gesture infrared signal receiving head can receive gesture infrared signals by means of reflection of the hand of a user on the infrared light, and the air conditioner is correspondingly controlled according to the gesture infrared signals. However, it should be emphasized that the remote control infrared signal receiving head and the gesture infrared signal receiving head in the existing air conditioner can receive different infrared signals, the remote control infrared signal receiving head can receive the infrared signal transmitted by the user through the remote controller, the gesture infrared signal receiving head can receive the infrared signal reflected by the hand of the user, in order to simultaneously support the infrared remote control and gesture recognition functions, besides the need to set an infrared transmitting head, at least one remote control infrared signal receiving head and one gesture infrared signal receiving head need to be set in the air conditioner, and thus the cost of the air conditioner is increased.
It should be noted that, in order to solve the above problems in this embodiment, in order to reduce the cost of the air conditioner, a set of infrared transmitting head and infrared receiving head is arranged in the air conditioner, and the infrared receiving head can receive both the remote control infrared signal and the gesture infrared signal, and one infrared receiving head is utilized to realize both the infrared remote control and the gesture recognition function, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the air conditioner. The types of the infrared receiving head and the infrared transmitting head in this embodiment may be selected accordingly according to actual requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment.
