Detailed Description

The present embodiment first provides an air conditioner, fig. 1 is a schematic architecture diagram of an air conditioner and a smart mat 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a control device 300 in an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, two indoor environments, a first indoor environment 101 and a second indoor environment 102, may be provided in the present embodiment. Also, the first indoor environment 101 may be provided therein with a first air conditioner 111 and a smart mat 200. A second air conditioner 112 may be disposed in the second indoor environment 102.

In a preferred embodiment, the smart mat 200 may be provided with a pressure sensor configured to detect the actual pressure value at the smart mat 200. Specifically, the pressure sensor may be disposed below the smart mat 200, and therefore, in a case where there is no user on the smart mat 200, since the smart mat 200 itself has a certain weight, the pressure sensor may also detect a certain reading, for example, a range of the detected pressure value may be N to M, where N is less than M. That is, once the actual pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is greater than M, it can be determined that there is certainly a user or an item on the smart mat 200, which can be generally understood as a user.

Further, the smart mat 200 may be a single user or a multi-user, wherein the multi-user includes two users. In the case where it is determined that the first indoor environment 101 and the second indoor environment 102 are only a single user, if the detected actual pressure value is greater than M, it may be determined that the single user is in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101. If the detected actual pressure value is less than or equal to M, it may be determined that the single user is in the second indoor environment 102.

In addition, it may be further preset that when all of the multiple users are located on the smart mat 200, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor may range from P to Q, where P is less than Q. And when the multi-person user includes the above single-person user, it may be determined that P is greater than M. In a case where it is determined that there are multiple users in the first indoor environment 101 and the second indoor environment 102, if the detected actual pressure value is greater than P, it may be determined that all of the multiple users are in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101. If the detected actual pressure value is greater than M and less than P, it may be determined that a part of the multi-user users is in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101 and another part is in the second indoor environment 102. If the detected actual pressure value is less than or equal to M, it may be determined that all of the multiple users are in the second indoor environment 102.

After the specific spatial information of the user is determined, the operation states of the first air conditioner 111 and the second air conditioner 112 may be automatically adjusted according to the spatial information. The spatial information refers to the specific indoor environment where one or more users are located, for example, it is determined that the one-user is located in the second indoor environment 102, part of the multiple-user users are located in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, and the other part of the multiple-user users are located in the second indoor environment 102.

Specifically, in the case where it is determined that a single user is present in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, or in the case where it is determined that a plurality of users are all present in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, the first air conditioner 111 may be controlled to be turned on and the second air conditioner 112 may be controlled to be turned off. In the case where it is determined that a single-person user is in the second indoor environment 102, or in the case where it is determined that a plurality of-person users are all in the second indoor environment 102, the second air conditioner 112 may be controlled to be turned on and the first air conditioner 111 may be controlled to be turned off. In the case where it is determined that a part of the multi-user users is in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101 and another part is in the second indoor environment 102, the first and

second air conditioners

111 and 112 may be controlled to be all turned on.

In a particular embodiment, the smart mat 200 may be a smart mattress, a smart sofa mat, or the like. As shown in fig. 1, when the smart mat 200 is a smart mattress, the first indoor environment 101 may be a bedroom and the second indoor environment 102 may be a living room. In other embodiments, when the smart mat 200 is a smart sofa mat, the first indoor environment 101 may be a living room and the second indoor environment 102 may be a bedroom. In a preferred embodiment, the intelligent mat 200 may further have a vibration function, and the specific scene atmosphere may be enhanced by matching with the air conditioner to supply air, for example, when the user watches a horror movie, the horror atmosphere may be enhanced by directly blowing air through the air conditioner and vibrating the intelligent mat 200, so as to enhance the impression of the user. Alternatively, the intelligent mat 200 may also have other functions such as massage, lifting, etc.

In addition, fig. 1 shows the case where two indoor environments are provided, and in other embodiments, more indoor environments may be provided, such as two bedrooms and a living room, each of which may be provided with an air conditioner, two bedrooms may be provided with a smart mattress in bed, or one bedroom may be provided with a smart mattress, and a sofa in the living room may be provided with a smart sofa cushion. Under the condition, accurate space information of the user can be determined according to the actual pressure value data of the intelligent mattress and/or the intelligent sofa cushion, and further, the running state of the air conditioner in each indoor environment can be automatically adjusted.

The first air conditioner 111, the second air conditioner 112, and the smart mat 200 shown in fig. 1 may be in the same Wi-Fi environment. Also, the first air conditioner 111, the second air conditioner 112 and the smart mat 200 may be interconnected through a controller. Signals transmitted from the first air conditioner 111, the second air conditioner 112 and the smart mat 200 may be received and signals may be transmitted to the first air conditioner 111, the second air conditioner 112 and the smart mat 200 by the control device 300. The control device 300 may be separately provided, or may be provided inside the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112. The pressure sensor in the smart mat 200 may transmit data to the control device 300 by itself, or the smart mat 200 may additionally be provided with a smart mat controller, and transmit the data to the control device 300 after receiving the actual pressure value data detected by the pressure sensor.

In a preferred embodiment, the air conditioner includes a control device 300. That is, in this preferred embodiment, the control device 300 may be disposed inside the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112 as a part of the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112, and is in data connection with the own controller of the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112, for example, the dedicated control device 300 is disposed inside the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112, and cooperates with the controller dedicated to performing component control. The control device 300 performs the same function regardless of whether it is disposed inside the first air conditioner 111 or inside the second air conditioner 112, or outside the first air conditioner 111 and the second air conditioner 112.

As shown in fig. 2, the control device 300 may include: the processor 310 and the memory 320, the memory 320 stores a control program 321, and the control program 321 is executed by the processor 310 to implement any of the following methods for controlling an air conditioner. In a specific embodiment, the control device 300 is in data connection with the first air conditioner 111, the second air conditioner 112, and the smart mat 200, and may be disposed on a network side device such as a server, a cloud, etc., and obtain various items of data of the set space through the network, and implement the adjustment of the environment of the set space by sending a command to the first air conditioner 111, the second air conditioner 112, and the smart mat 200 remotely.

The control device 300 may also be various types of centralized control equipment, arranged in a set space, and controlling the first air conditioner 111, the second air conditioner 112, and the smart mat 200. The data connection of the control device 300 with the first air conditioner 111, the second air conditioner 112 and the smart mat 200 includes, but is not limited to, wireless transmission, infrared transmission, ultrasonic transmission, etc. In some embodiments, the control device 300 may also be a part of the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112, disposed inside the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112, and in data connection with the own controller of the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112, for example, the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112 is internally provided with a dedicated control device 300, and cooperates with a controller dedicated to performing component control.

The processor 310 may be a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a digital processing unit, or the like. The processor 310 transmits and receives data through the communication interface. The memory 320 is used to store programs executed by the processor 310. The memory 320 is any medium that can be used to carry or store desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and that can be accessed by a computer, or a combination of multiple memories 320. The control program 321 may be downloaded from a computer-readable storage medium to a corresponding computing/processing device or downloaded and installed to the control apparatus 300 via a network (e.g., the internet, a local area network, a wide area network, and/or a wireless network).

The embodiment also provides a control method of the air conditioner, which can realize intelligent interconnection between the air conditioner and the intelligent pad 200, provide a scene of intelligent household appliance interconnection, and improve the use experience of a user. Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the control method of the air conditioner may include the steps of:

step S302, receiving a trigger signal for starting an interconnection mode;

step S304, acquiring an actual pressure value at the intelligent pad 200;

step S306, determining the spatial information of the user according to the interconnection mode and the actual pressure value;

in step S308, the operation states of the first air conditioner 111 and the second air conditioner 112 are adjusted according to the determined spatial information.

In the above steps, step S302 receives a trigger signal for turning on the interconnect mode, and specifically, the trigger signal may be obtained in a plurality of different manners. For example, the user may start the interconnection mode through a related operation of the mobile terminal bound to the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112, and the side of the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112 may consider that the trigger signal is received after receiving the related instruction. The mobile terminal may specifically be a smart device that is convenient to move, such as a smart phone and a smart tablet.

In other embodiments, the user may similarly operate to turn on the interconnection mode through the display device provided in the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112, and the trigger signal is considered to be received after the first air conditioner 111 or the second air conditioner 112 receives the relevant instruction. It should be noted that, after the interconnection mode is turned on, the first air conditioner 111, the second air conditioner 112 and the smart mat 200 may all receive the trigger signal, i.e., all of them may enter the interconnection state to automatically adjust the operation states of the two air conditioners.

Also, the interconnected mode may include a single-person mode and a multi-person mode. The single-person mode is turned on, which illustrates that there is only one user in the first indoor environment 101 and the second indoor environment 102. Moreover, the single-person mode may be turned on, and the resident users of the first indoor environment 101 and the second indoor environment 102 may have only one person; or the resident users of the first indoor environment 101 and the second indoor environment 102 may be multiple users, but only one user of the first indoor environment 101 and the second indoor environment 102 is currently present because someone goes out.

The multi-user mode is turned on, which indicates that there are multiple users in the first indoor environment 101 and the second indoor environment 102. Wherein the plurality of users may be two users or more. Generally, in the case where the smart mat 200 in step S304 is a smart mattress, the plurality of users may be two users. In the case where the smart mat 200 in step S304 is a smart sofa mat, the plurality of users may be two users or more, for example, three users, four users, and the like.

It should be noted that, the interconnected mode, whether the single-person mode or the multi-person mode is turned on, indicates that the single-person user or the multi-person user is in the indoor environment, and is not in the first indoor environment 101 but in the second indoor environment 102, to the exclusion of other situations. That is, the interconnected mode is turned on, which may exclude some cases where the user is not in the first indoor environment 101 or the second indoor environment 102. For example, in the case where the single-person mode is turned on, the single-person user is not in the first indoor environment 101 but in the second indoor environment 102; in the case of the multi-user mode, the multi-user is either entirely in the first indoor environment 101 or entirely in the second indoor environment 102, or a part of the multi-user is in the first indoor environment 101 and another part of the multi-user is in the second indoor environment 102.

In step S304, the actual pressure value at the smart mat 200 is obtained, and specifically, the actual pressure value may be detected by the pressure sensor provided in the smart mat 200 mentioned above. Step S306 determines spatial information of the user according to the interconnection mode and the actual pressure value, where the spatial information may specifically refer to an indoor environment in which a single user or multiple users of the user are specifically located. For example, a single user is in the second indoor environment 102, a plurality of users are in a portion of the smart mat 200 in the first indoor environment 101, another portion is in the second indoor environment 102, and so on.

Step S308, adjusting the operating states of the first air conditioner 111 and the second air conditioner 112 according to the determined spatial information, specifically, controlling the first air conditioner 111 in the first indoor environment 101 space to be turned on as long as it is determined that there is a user in the first indoor environment 101 space. The second air conditioner 112 controlling the space of the second indoor environment 102 is turned on whenever it is determined that the user is present in the space of the second indoor environment 102. Meanwhile, the first air conditioner 111 of the first indoor environment 101 space is controlled to be turned off whenever it is determined that the first indoor environment 101 space has no user. The second air conditioner 112 controlling the second indoor environment 102 space is turned off whenever it is determined that the second indoor environment 102 space has no user. The corresponding air conditioner is timely closed under the condition that the user does not exist in the indoor environment, the condition that the user forgets to close the air conditioner when leaving the indoor space can be avoided, electric energy can be effectively saved, energy consumption is reduced, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In some specific embodiments, in the case where it is determined that a single user is present in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, or in the case where it is determined that a plurality of users are all present in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, the first air conditioner 111 may be controlled to be turned on and the second air conditioner 112 may be controlled to be turned off. In the case where it is determined that a single-person user is in the second indoor environment 102, or in the case where it is determined that a plurality of-person users are all in the second indoor environment 102, the second air conditioner 112 may be controlled to be turned on and the first air conditioner 111 may be controlled to be turned off. In the case where it is determined that a part of the multi-user users is in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101 and another part is in the second indoor environment 102, the first and

second air conditioners

111 and 112 may be controlled to be all turned on.

In a word, the control method of the air conditioner of the embodiment obtains the actual pressure value at the intelligent pad 200 by receiving the trigger signal for starting the interconnection mode, wherein the interconnection mode includes the single mode and the multi-person mode, determines the spatial information of the user according to the interconnection mode and the actual pressure value, and adjusts the operating states of the first air conditioner 111 and the second air conditioner 112 according to the determined spatial information, so that the intelligent interconnection of the air conditioner and the intelligent pad 200 can be realized, a scene of intelligent household appliance interconnection is provided, the use requirements of the user are fully met, and the intelligent degree can be effectively improved.

In some optional embodiments, the air conditioner capable of being interconnected with the smart mat 200 can achieve a higher technical effect by further optimizing and configuring the above steps, and the following describes in detail the control method of the air conditioner of this embodiment with reference to an optional execution flow of this embodiment, where this embodiment is merely an illustration of the execution flow, and in a specific implementation, the execution sequence and the operation condition of some steps may be modified according to specific implementation requirements. Fig. 4 is a detailed flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the air conditioner including the steps of:

step S402, receiving a trigger signal for starting an interconnection mode;

step S404, acquiring an actual pressure value at the intelligent cushion 200;

step S406, judging whether the single mode is started, if so, executing step S408, otherwise, executing step S414;

step S408, determining whether the actual pressure value is greater than a first preset value, if so, executing step S410, otherwise, executing step S412;

step S410, determining that the single user is in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, and performing step S420;

step S412, determining that the single-person user is in the second indoor environment 102, and performing step S430;

step S414, determining to start a multi-user mode;

step S416, determining whether the actual pressure value is greater than a second preset value, if so, performing step S418, otherwise, performing step S422;

step S418, determining that all the multiple users are in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, and executing step S420;

step S420, controlling the first air conditioner 111 to be turned on and the second air conditioner 112 to be turned off;

step S422, determining whether the actual pressure value is greater than the first preset value and less than the second preset value, if so, performing step S424, otherwise, performing step S428;

step S424, determining that a part of the multi-user users are in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101 and another part are in the second indoor environment 102, and executing step S426;

step S426, controlling the first air conditioner 111 and the second air conditioner 112 to be fully turned on;

step 428, determining that the actual pressure value is less than or equal to the first preset value, all the multi-user users are in the second indoor environment 102, and executing step 430;

in step S430, the second air conditioner 112 is controlled to be turned on, and the first air conditioner 111 is controlled to be turned off.

In the above step, the actual pressure value at the smart mat 200 is obtained in step S404, and specifically, the actual pressure value may be detected by the pressure sensor provided in the smart mat 200 mentioned above. In a particular embodiment, the detected pressure values may range from N to M, where N is less than M, without any user on the smart mat 200. That is, once the actual pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is greater than M, it can be determined that there is certainly a user or an item on the smart mat 200, which can be generally understood as a user. Then in case that the single-person mode is turned on, it may be determined that the first indoor environment 101 and the second indoor environment 102 have only a single-person user, and if the detected actual pressure value is greater than M, it may be determined that the single-person user is in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101. If the detected actual pressure value is less than or equal to M, it may be determined that the single user is in the second indoor environment 102.

Step S408 determines whether the actual pressure value is greater than a first preset value, where the first preset value may be M in the above, and according to the execution sequence of the steps in this embodiment, if the determination result is yes, that is, when the actual pressure value is greater than the first preset value M while the single mode is turned on, it may be determined that the single user is in the smart mat 200 in the first indoor environment 101, that is, step S410 is executed. In the case that the determination result is negative, that is, when the actual pressure value is less than or equal to the first preset value M while the single-person mode is turned on, it may be determined that the single-person user is in the second indoor environment 102, that is, step S412 is performed.

In another specific embodiment, when multiple users are all located on the smart mat 200, the pressure sensor may detect pressure values in a range from P to Q, where P is less than Q. And when the multi-person user includes the above single-person user, it may be determined that P is greater than M. In the case that the multi-user mode is turned on, it may be determined that there are multi-user users in the first indoor environment 101 and the second indoor environment 102, and if the detected actual pressure value is greater than P, it may be determined that all of the multi-user users are in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101. If the detected actual pressure value is greater than M and less than P, it may be determined that a part of the multi-user users is in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101 and another part is in the second indoor environment 102. If the detected actual pressure value is less than or equal to M, it may be determined that all of the multiple users are in the second indoor environment 102.

Step S416, determining whether the actual pressure value is greater than a second preset value, where the second preset value may be P in the above, and according to the execution sequence of the steps in this embodiment, if the determination result is yes, that is, when the multi-user mode is turned on, and the actual pressure value is greater than the second preset value P, it may be determined that all of the multi-user users are in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, that is, step S418 is executed. If the determination result is negative, that is, when the multi-user mode is turned on and the actual pressure value is less than or equal to the second preset value P, it needs to further determine whether all of the users are not in the smart mat 200 in the first indoor environment 101, or a part of the users are in the smart mat 200 in the first indoor environment 101, and another part of the users are in the second indoor environment 102. Step S422 may be performed.

Step S422, determining whether the actual pressure value is greater than the first preset value M and less than the second preset value P, according to the execution sequence of the steps in this embodiment, if the determination result is yes, that is, when the multi-user mode is turned on, and the actual pressure value is greater than the first preset value M and less than the second preset value P, it may be determined that a part of the multi-user users are in the smart mat 200 in the first indoor environment 101, and another part of the multi-user users are in the second indoor environment 102, that is, step S424 is executed. According to the execution sequence of the steps in this embodiment, in the case that the determination result is negative, that is, when the multi-user mode is turned on, it may be determined that the actual pressure value is less than or equal to the first preset value M, and all the multi-user users are in the second indoor environment 102, that is, step S428 is executed.

It should be emphasized that the execution sequence of the steps in this embodiment may refer to the sequence shown by the arrow in fig. 4, rather than the sequence of the step numbers. For example, step S412 is not next step S414, but step S430. In the case where it is determined at step S410 that the single-person user is present in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, or in the case where it is determined at step S418 that the multi-person users are all present in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101, step S420 of controlling the first air conditioner 111 to be turned on and the second air conditioner 112 to be turned off may be performed.

In the case where it is determined at step S412 that the single-person user is in the second indoor environment 102, or in the case where it is determined at step S428 that the multi-person users are all in the second indoor environment 102, step S430 may be performed to control the second air conditioner 112 to be turned on and the first air conditioner 111 to be turned off. In the case where it is determined at step S424 that a part of the multi-user users are in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101 and another part are in the second indoor environment 102, step S426 may be performed to control the first and

second air conditioners

111 and 112 to be all turned on.

In short, in the control method of the air conditioner of the embodiment, when the single mode is turned on and the actual pressure value is greater than the first preset value, it is determined that the single user is in the smart mat 200 of the first indoor environment 101; under the condition that the single-person mode is started and the actual pressure value is smaller than or equal to the first preset value, determining that the single-person user is in the second indoor environment 102; when the multi-user mode is started and the actual pressure value is greater than the second preset value, determining that all the multi-user users are in the intelligent pad 200 of the first indoor environment 101; when the multi-user mode is started and the actual pressure value is larger than the first preset value and smaller than the second preset value, determining that one part of the multi-user is in the intelligent pad 200 of the first indoor environment 101 and the other part of the multi-user is in the second indoor environment 102; when the multi-user mode is started and the actual pressure value is less than or equal to the first preset value, it is determined that all the multi-user users are in the second indoor environment 102, the spatial information of the users can be accurately determined according to the interconnection mode and the actual pressure value, and further the operating states of the first air conditioner 111 of the first indoor environment 101 and the second air conditioner 112 of the second indoor environment 102 are automatically adjusted, so that the use experience of the users is greatly improved.
