Meanwhile, as the cold or heat is preferentially conveyed to the optimal air supply area, and the optimal air supply area is closer to the user, the gas parameters around the user can be more quickly close to the target gas parameters set by the user before the heating or the cooling of the whole space where the air conditioner is located is realized, and the improvement of the user experience is facilitated.

Optionally, the processor determining that the peripheral area of the no-wind zone is the optimal blowing zone comprises: the processor determines an annular area within a second distance from the periphery of the non-windy area to be an optimal supply area.

And S302, under the condition that the number of users in the space where the air conditioner is located is 1, the processor determines the no-wind area according to the positions of the users.

And S303, under the condition that the number of the users in the space where the air conditioner is positioned is more than 1, the processor determines a no-wind area according to the positions of the users and the distance between every two users.

S304, the processor determines the peripheral area of the no-wind-feeling area as the optimal air supply area.

And S305, the processor controls the air conditioner to convey cooling capacity or heating capacity to the optimal air supply area.

Because the optimal air supply area is determined according to actual user data, the air outlet of the air conditioner can be effectively prevented from being directly blown to a user, and the accuracy in the direct blowing prevention process is improved. Meanwhile, as the cold quantity or the heat quantity is preferentially conveyed to the optimal air supply area, and the optimal air supply area is closer to the user, the gas parameters around the user can be more quickly close to the target gas parameters set by the user before the heating or the cooling of the whole space where the air conditioner is located is realized, and the improvement of the user experience is facilitated.

In addition, this scheme can make further differentiation to the setting in no wind-sensing region according to the indoor user's of air conditioner place quantity, makes no wind-sensing region and the regional confirm of best air supply more accord with actual conditions, is favorable to further promoting the accuracy of preventing directly blowing in-process air conditioner air-out.

Optionally, the processor obtaining the user data in the space where the air conditioner is located includes: the processor obtains the number of users in the space where the air conditioner is located and obtains the position of each user in the space where the air conditioner is located, or obtains the position of each user in the space where the air conditioner is located and the distance between every two users. Therefore, the accurate non-wind-sensing area can be determined according to the user data, the air conditioner can convey cold or heat more accurately, and the accuracy of the air conditioner in the direct blowing prevention process can be improved.

Optionally, after the processor obtains the user data in the space where the air conditioner is located, the method further includes: and under the condition that no user exists in the space where the air conditioner is located, the processor controls the air conditioner to enter an energy-saving mode. Thus, the method is beneficial to saving resources.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another control method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the control method for an air conditioner may be executed in the air conditioner or in a server in communication with the air conditioner. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the present solution is explained with a processor of an air conditioner as an execution subject.

As shown in fig. 4, the control method for an air conditioner includes:

s401, the processor obtains user data in the space where the air conditioner is located.

S402, under the condition that the number of users in the space where the air conditioner is located is 1, the processor obtains the positions of the users.

S403, the processor determines an area less than or equal to the first distance from the position of the user as a no-wind area.

S404, the processor determines the peripheral area of the no-wind-feeling area as an optimal air supply area.

And S405, the processor controls the air conditioner to convey the refrigerating capacity or the heating capacity to the optimal air supply area.

In addition, when only one user is present in the room, the area near the user can be directly determined as the non-wind-sensing area, which contributes to simplifying the operation of the air conditioner.

Here, the non-wind-sensitive area is a stereoscopic area including a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. Like this, can guarantee that the air conditioner air-out can not blow directly to user's arbitrary position, be favorable to promoting user's experience and feel.

Alternatively, the processor obtaining the user position may be the processor obtaining a projected image of the user to a horizontal plane. Therefore, the actual condition of the user can be continuously and accurately judged, and the accuracy of the subsequent direct blowing prevention process is improved.

Optionally, the processor determines that the area less than or equal to the first distance from the position of the user is a no-wind area, including: the processor determines the outer contour of the projected image, expands the outer contour of the projected image by a first distance in each direction, and determines that an inner area enclosed by the expanded contour is a horizontal non-wind-feeling area. Like this, the no wind sense region that forms when different users are in the same position also distinguishes for no wind sense region accords with more with user's posture, physical characteristics etc. is favorable to promoting the accuracy in no wind sense region, and then is favorable to promoting the accuracy of preventing directly blowing process.

Optionally, the processor determines that the area less than or equal to the first distance from the user's position is a no-wind area, including: the processor determines a center of the user's location and determines a circular area less than or equal to a first distance from the center of the location as a horizontal area of the non-wind sensitive area. Therefore, the non-wind-feeling area is a circular area in the horizontal direction, and the non-wind-feeling area of the air conditioner is simplified.

Wherein the center of the user's position can be determined by the projection image of the user in the horizontal plane. For example, any two points on the outline of the projection image are taken to form a line segment, the process is repeated for a plurality of times to obtain a plurality of line segments, and the midpoint of the longest line segment is taken as the center of the user position.

Optionally, the first distance has a value in a range of [0.8m, 1.5m ]. More specifically, it may be 0.8m, 1m, 1.2m or 1.5 m. Like this, with first distance restriction in suitable within range, can avoid not only having the wind sensing regional scope too little to lead to preventing directly blowing the effect not good, can avoid again having the too big air conditioner air-out of leading to of wind sensing regional scope to be too far away from the user, user experience feels not good.

Optionally, the processor obtaining the position of the user further comprises obtaining a projection of the user in a vertical direction. The projection includes at least two factors, a projection height and a projection position.

Optionally, the determining manner of the non-wind-sensing area in the vertical direction includes: the processor obtains a projected height of the user in a vertical direction, determines that a height of the non-wind-feeling region in the vertical direction is greater than or equal to the projected height, and a position of the non-wind-feeling region in the vertical direction includes a position of the projection of the user in the vertical direction. Like this, can guarantee that no wind-sensing area includes user's each health position, can avoid the air conditioner air-out to blow directly to the user more accurately. Further, in practical situations, the height and position of the projection of the user in the vertical direction are also different when the user is in different postures. Therefore, the specific situation of the user can be further refined, the accuracy of the no-wind-feeling area is improved, and the refrigeration or heating requirements of the user are considered in the process of the direct blowing prevention mode.

Optionally, the determining manner of the non-wind-sensing area in the vertical direction includes: the processor determines the height of the space where the air conditioner is located, and determines the height of the non-wind-sensation area in the vertical direction as the height of the space where the air conditioner is located. In this way, the determination process of the non-wind sensitive area is simplified while the user is ensured to be in the non-wind sensitive area.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another control method for an air conditioner, which may be executed in the air conditioner or in a server in communication with the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the present solution is explained with a processor of an air conditioner as an execution subject.

As shown in fig. 5, the control method for an air conditioner includes:

s501, the processor obtains user data in the space where the air conditioner is located.

And S502, under the condition that the number of the users in the space where the air conditioner is located is more than 1, the processor selects the target user in the space where the air conditioner is located.

S503, the processor judges whether the distance between the target user and each user in the space where the air conditioner is located is larger than a preset distance threshold value.

And S504, under the condition that the distance is larger than the preset distance threshold, the processor determines that the first area only comprising the position of the target user is a no-wind-feeling area.

And S505, under the condition that the distance between the second area and the target user is smaller than or equal to the preset distance threshold, the processor determines that the second area including the position of the target user and the positions of all users with the distance between the second area and the target user smaller than or equal to the preset distance threshold is a no-wind area.

S506, the processor determines the peripheral area of the no-wind feeling area as the optimal air supply area.

And S507, the processor controls the air conditioner to convey cooling capacity or heating capacity to the optimal air supply area.

In addition, in the case where the air conditioner has a plurality of users in a space, it is possible to distinguish the division of the no-wind zone according to the distance between the users. The users with smaller distance are divided in the same non-wind-sensing area, which is beneficial to simplifying the operation of the air conditioner in the process of realizing the direct blowing prevention.

Optionally, the processor selecting the target user comprises: the processor selects the target user according to the information, and stops selecting the target user when all users in the space where the air conditioner is located are in the no-wind-feeling area. Therefore, the non-wind-sensing area division can be performed orderly, and simultaneously, the direct blowing prevention of all users in the space where the air conditioner is located can be guaranteed.

Optionally, in a case that a distance between the target user and each user in the space where the air conditioner is located is greater than a preset distance threshold, the determining manner of the first area includes: the processor determines an area around the user's location that is less than or equal to the third distance to be a first area. Wherein the third distance is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold. Like this, can form independent no wind sense region to effectively avoid the air conditioner air-out to blow to the user.

Here, the position of the user may specifically be a projection image of the user on a horizontal plane, and may also be a position center of the user.

Optionally, the distance threshold may take a value of 0.5m, 1m, 2m, and the like. In the practical application process, the value can be taken according to the practical size of the space where the air conditioner is located and the number of users in the space. For example, the larger the space where the air conditioner is located and the smaller the number of users, the larger the distance threshold value. Therefore, the user can set the distance threshold according to the current actual situation and the actual requirement, and the personalized requirement of the user can be met.

Optionally, when the distance between the target user and the user in the space where the air conditioner is located is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold, the determining manner of the second area includes: and expanding the position of the target user and the positions of all users with the distance between the target user and the target user being less than or equal to the preset distance threshold value outwards to form a region as a second region.

And the fourth distance is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold value and is greater than or equal to half of the maximum distance between the target user and the user meeting the condition. And the user meeting the condition is that the distance between the user and the target user is smaller than or equal to the preset distance. Therefore, the area formed after expansion can be ensured to be a communicated area, and the operation steps of the subsequent air conditioner in outputting cold or heat can be simplified.

Specifically, in the case where the number of users whose distance from the target user is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold is 1, the no-wind zone is elliptical. In the case where the number of users whose distance from the target user is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold is 2, the no-wind zone is triangular. Therefore, the formed non-wind feeling area is simpler in shape, and the operation of the subsequent air conditioner for supplying air to the optimal air supply area is facilitated to be simplified.

Here, the determination process of the non-wind-sensitive area in the case of having a plurality of users will be further described by way of example. The number of detected users in the space where the air conditioner is located is 5, that is, a user a, a user B, a user C, a user D, and a user E. Firstly, a user A is selected as a target user, and the detection shows that the distances between the user A and a user B, between the user A and a user C, between the user D and between the user E are all larger than a preset distance threshold value. Therefore, the non-wind area of the user a includes only the position of the user a. And selecting the user B as a target user, and detecting that the distance between the user B and the user D is smaller than a preset distance threshold value, and the distance between the user B and the user C is larger than the preset distance threshold value. The non-wind-sensitive area in which the user B is located includes the locations in which the user B and the user D are located. And selecting the user C as a target user, and detecting that the distance between the user C and the user E is smaller than a preset distance threshold value. The non-wind sensitive area in which user C is located includes the locations of user C and user E. At this time, all users in the space where the air conditioner is located belong to the non-wind-sensation area, the target user is not selected, and the division of the non-wind-sensation area is also finished. Therefore, under the condition that multiple users exist in the space, the scheme can divide the non-wind-sensing area orderly and accurately, and meanwhile, all the users are guaranteed to be in the non-wind-sensing area.
