FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure; referring to fig. 1, optionally, a method for controlling an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

s11, the air conditioner acquires the indoor environment temperature of the air conditioner and the position information of the air conditioner.

S12, the air conditioner determines a target reference temperature according to the position information.

And S13, controlling the air conditioner to operate a compressor preheating scheme under the condition that the ambient temperature is not higher than the target reference temperature and the indoor where the air conditioner is located is determined to have a user.

In the scheme, the air conditioner can acquire the indoor environment temperature through the associated indoor temperature sensor or the associated wearable equipment, and can acquire the position information of the air conditioner through the associated radar sensor. Here, the location information may be positioning information. In this way, the accurate acquisition of the indoor environment temperature of the air conditioner and the position information of the air conditioner can be realized.

Further, the air conditioner can determine the target reference temperature by combining the position information after acquiring the position information of the air conditioner. Specifically, the air conditioner may determine region information in which the air conditioner is located in combination with the location information, and determine the target reference temperature in combination with the region information. The air conditioner can obtain a region information base, wherein the region information base stores temperature values corresponding to different region information, so that the air conditioner can match the temperature values corresponding to the region information in the region information base and determine the temperature values as target reference temperature. In this way, the accurate acquisition of the target reference temperature can be realized by combining the position information of the air conditioner. In an optimized scheme, the air conditioner can also acquire target reference temperatures determined by the cold and hot sensitivities of different users in the home environment, and the reference temperature determined by the cold and hot sensitivities of the users is taken as the target reference temperature when the air conditioner recognizes that the users with the air conditioner control intention exist indoors. With this scheme, the determination of the target reference temperature can be performed more individually.

Further, after the air conditioner determines the target reference temperature, the air conditioner may control the air conditioner to operate the compressor preheating scheme in case that the ambient temperature is not higher than the target reference temperature and it is determined that a user exists in the room where the air conditioner is located. Here, whether or not a user is present in the room where the air conditioner is located may be determined in various ways. In one example, image information collected by an image collection module associated with an air conditioner may be obtained, and if feature information of a user can be extracted from the image information, it is determined that the user exists in the room where the air conditioner is located. In another example, a WIFI sensing technology may be used to obtain a dynamic variance of a Channel State Information (CSI) amplitude to sense a change of a surrounding environment, and the generated feature fingerprint and the KNN classification algorithm are used to perform a comparison and judgment to determine whether a user exists in the room where the air conditioner is located. With this scheme, whether there is the user in the room can be accurately judged. In this embodiment, the preheating scheme of the compressor refers to an operation scheme that is periodically started according to preset power in a first set period of time and is standby in a second set period of time. As an example, the preset power may be 30W and the first set period may be 2 minutes. Specifically, the second set duration may be determined according to an indoor temperature where the air conditioner is located, including: determining a temperature interval in which the indoor temperature of the air conditioner is located, and determining a set time length corresponding to the temperature interval as a second set time length. If the temperature interval is 5-15 ℃, the corresponding set time length is 4 hours; if the temperature interval is 0-5 ℃, the corresponding set time length is 3 hours; if the temperature interval is less than 0 ℃, the corresponding set time length is 2 hours. In this way, an accurate determination of the second set duration can be achieved, providing an accurate data basis for the determination of the compressor warm-up scheme.

By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner, which is provided by the embodiment of the invention, the environment temperature of the indoor of the air conditioner and the position information of the air conditioner are obtained; determining a target reference temperature according to the position information; and controlling the air conditioner to operate the compressor preheating scheme under the condition that the ambient temperature is not higher than the target reference temperature and the presence of a user in the room where the air conditioner is located is determined.

In the scheme, the air conditioner can combine the position information to determine the region information of the air conditioner. Here, the region information may include northern regions, southern regions, coastal regions, inland regions, and the like. For example, if the location information acquired by the air conditioner is halbine, it may be determined that the region information where the air conditioner is located is a northern region. Further, after the air conditioner determines the region information of the air conditioner, the target reference temperature can be determined more accurately by combining the region information. In this way, the target reference temperature can be determined by combining the climate change characteristics of different regions, so that the target reference temperature determined by the method is more in accordance with the climate condition of the region, the accurate determination of the target reference temperature is realized, and an accurate data basis is provided for judging the preheating time of the compressor.

Optionally, S22, the air conditioner determines the target reference temperature according to the regional information, including:

The air conditioner obtains a region information base, and temperature values corresponding to different region information are stored in the region information base.

The air conditioner matches a temperature value corresponding to the region information in the region information base, and determines the temperature value as a target reference temperature.

In the scheme, the air conditioner can obtain the region information base stored by the cloud server. The regional information base stores temperature values corresponding to different regional information. As an example, the user may store temperature values corresponding to the different region information in the region information base of the cloud server in advance according to the climate conditions of the different regions, so that the air conditioner may match the temperature values corresponding to the region information in the region information base and determine the temperature values as the target reference temperature. As an example, in northern areas where the ambient temperature is cold, users typically install heating in the room. In this way, the temperature value corresponding to the northern area may be set to 23 ℃, and the 23 ℃ may be determined as the target reference temperature in the case where the area information where the air conditioner is located is the northern area. In this way, the target reference temperature can be determined by combining the climate change characteristics of different regions, so that the target reference temperature determined by the method is more in accordance with the climate condition of the region, and the accurate determination of the target reference temperature is realized.

Here, the stay time is an interval time from when the user enters the room where the air conditioner is located to when the user leaves the room where the air conditioner is located. The stay time length can be determined specifically through the image information collected by the image collecting device associated with the air conditioner. Further, the air conditioner may determine that the user has an intention to use the air conditioner in case that the stay time exceeds the preset time, and may control the operation of the compressor preheating scheme. The air conditioner can preset the preset time length according to the walking habit of the user. As an example, the preset duration may be 10 minutes.

Further, the air conditioner may determine that the user does not have an intention to use the air conditioner if the stay time does not exceed the preset time, and may control the air conditioner to stop running the compressor preheating scheme. The air conditioner can preset the preset time length according to the walking habit of the user. As an example, the preset duration may be 1 hour. In this way, the execution time of the preheating scheme of the compressor is more accurately determined, the situation that the preheating scheme of the compressor is started by mistake due to the short residence time of a user is avoided, and the energy-saving control requirement of the user on the air conditioner is met to a certain extent.
