It should be noted that, all actions for acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are performed under the condition of conforming to the corresponding data protection rule policy of the country of the location and obtaining the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

As described in the background art, when a user uses an air conditioner, the user is required to select the function of the air conditioner to be used in the control device by himself, the user participation is high, the operation is complicated, and the user experience is poor. Considering that the old users have the habit and preference of using the air conditioner function when using the air conditioner, and the habit and preference of using the air conditioner function by two users which are generally similar are also similar, the air conditioner function which may be preferred by the new user can be automatically recommended to the new user according to the habit and preference of using the air conditioner function by the old users which are higher in similarity with the new user, namely, the air conditioner is controlled to work under the air conditioner function which is preferred by the new user according to the habit and preference of using the air conditioner function by the old users which are higher in similarity with the new user, so that the user experience is improved.

In view of this, the present disclosure provides a control method, a control device, an electronic apparatus, a medium, and a product for an air conditioner, which determine a control user similar to a new user according to user feature similarity information of the new user and an old user, and then control operation of the air conditioner of the new user according to air conditioning function preference information of the control user. Therefore, a new user does not need to select the function of the air conditioner on the control equipment of the air conditioner, the user participation degree is reduced, the control operation of the air conditioner is simplified, the intelligent degree of the air conditioner is improved, and the user experience is improved.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment. The control method of the air conditioner is configured as an example in the control device of the air conditioner, and the control method of the air conditioner in this embodiment may be configured in the control device of the air conditioner, and the control device of the air conditioner may be disposed in a server, or may also be disposed in an electronic device, which is not limited thereto. The present embodiment takes an example in which the control method of the air conditioner is configured as a control device of the air conditioner in the electronic apparatus. Among them, electronic devices such as smartphones, tablet computers, personal digital assistants, electronic books, and the like have hardware devices of various operating systems.

The execution body of the embodiment of the present disclosure may be, for example, a server or a central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU) in an electronic device in hardware, and may be, for example, a server or a related background service in an electronic device in software, which is not limited.

As shown in fig. 1, the control method of the air conditioner may include the following steps.

In step S11, user feature similarity information of the new user and the old user is determined.

For air conditioners, old users refer to users who have used the air conditioner, i.e., users having historical usage data of the air conditioner, and new users are users who have not used but are about to use the air conditioner.

For example, when a user uses an air conditioner, a cloud service corresponding to the air conditioner may record a time when the user uses the air conditioner. Accordingly, the user who uses the air conditioner with the current time is the new user, and the user who uses the air conditioner with the current time or before the preset time with the current time as the ending time is the old user.

It should be understood that in the present disclosure, the old user may be a plurality of users, that is, user feature similarity information of the new user and each of the old users is determined in step S11.

In step S12, a control user similar to the new user is determined among the old users based on the user characteristic similarity information.

Because the old user has the historical use data of the air conditioner, the air conditioner function can be recommended to the new user by referring to the historical use condition of the old user, and the habit and the bias similarity of the more similar users for using the air conditioner are higher, therefore, the control user similar to the new user can be determined from the old user according to the user characteristic similarity information of the new user and each old user, and the control user refers to the user for controlling the air conditioner.

For example, the user feature similarity information of the new user and the old user may be the user feature similarity of the new user and the old user, the old user with the largest user feature similarity is determined to be the control user, or the old users with the user feature similarity greater than the similarity threshold are determined to be the control users. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the number of control users determined.

In step S13, air conditioning function preference information of the control user is acquired.

For example, the air conditioner function preference information may be predetermined before the control method of the air conditioner provided by the present disclosure is performed, that is, the air conditioner function preference information of each old user is predetermined for the old user, and accordingly, the step S13 of acquiring the air conditioner function preference information of the control user may be understood as acquiring the air conditioner function preference information of the control user from the air conditioner function preference information of the plurality of old users after the control user is determined. As another example, the air conditioner function preference information of the control user may be determined when the control method of the air conditioner provided by the present disclosure is performed, and accordingly, after the control user is determined, the determination is made in a manner of determining the air conditioner function preference information. The manner of determining the air conditioning function preference information will be described in detail below.

It should be understood that the air conditioner function preference information of the control user may be determined according to the use of the air conditioner by the control user and other users than the control user. And other users than the control user can refer to users who use the air conditioner of the same merchant, and the air conditioners used by the control user and other users are registered in the cloud server, so that the cloud server can acquire the conditions of the control user and the other users using the air conditioner. For example, if the control method of the air conditioner is configured in the control device of the air conditioner in the electronic device, the electronic device may acquire the situation that the control user and other users use the air conditioner in the cloud server.

In the present disclosure, the air conditioner function preference information is used to characterize an air conditioner function that controls user preference or habit of use. Or the air conditioner function preference information is used to characterize a degree of preference of the control user for each air conditioner function, for example, a very preference, a medium preference, a no preference, and the like.

Among other things, air conditioner functions include, but are not limited to: preference mode function, refrigeration function, heating function, air supply function, dehumidification function, temperature setting function, automatic gear-dividing function, low windshield function, middle wind gear function, high wind gear function, fresh air function, automatic fresh air gear function, low fresh air gear function, high fresh air gear function, up and down wind sweeping function, left and right wind sweeping function, backdrop wind function, carpet wind function, surrounding wind function, gentle wind function, stop motion sweeping function, sleep mode opening function, light closing function, degerming opening function, energy-saving opening function, buzzer closing function, self-defining sleep opening function, self-cleaning opening function and the like.

In step S14, the air conditioner of the new user is controlled to operate according to the air conditioner operation parameters of the control user according to the air conditioner function preference information.

In the present disclosure, a target operation parameter of an air conditioner is determined according to air conditioning function preference information, and an operation of the air conditioner of a new user is controlled according to the target operation parameter. For example, a target air conditioner function is determined according to air conditioner function preference information, an operation parameter corresponding to the target air conditioner function is determined as a target operation parameter, and then the operation parameter of the air conditioner is adjusted to the target operation parameter, so that the air conditioner works under the target air conditioner function.

For example, if the air conditioner function preference information is used to characterize an air conditioner function that the control user prefers to use or is used to use, the air conditioner function that the control user prefers to use or is used to use may be determined as the target air conditioner function. For another example, if the air conditioner function preference information is used to characterize the preference degree of the control user for each air conditioner function, the air conditioner function whose preference degree is very preferred may be determined as the target air conditioner function.

In addition, if the control users are multiple, the target air conditioner functions can be determined according to the air conditioner function preference information of each control user, then the operation parameters corresponding to the target air conditioner function with the largest occurrence number in the multiple target air conditioner functions are determined as target operation parameters, and the air conditioner of the new user is controlled to operate according to the target operation parameters.

It should be appreciated that, after determining the target air conditioner function, determining the target operating parameter corresponding to the target air conditioner function belongs to a more mature technology, which is not specifically limited by the present disclosure.

By adopting the technical scheme, the control user similar to the new user is determined according to the user characteristic similar information of the new user and the old user, and then the operation of the air conditioner of the new user is controlled according to the air conditioning function preference information of the control user. Therefore, a new user does not need to select the function of the air conditioner on the control equipment of the air conditioner, the user participation degree is reduced, the control operation of the air conditioner is simplified, the intelligent degree of the air conditioner is improved, and the user experience is improved.

The manner in which the user characteristic similarity information of the new user and the old user is determined is described below.

In the present disclosure, determining user feature similarity information for a new user and an old user may include: the method comprises the steps that user characteristic attribute information of a new user and user characteristic attribute information of an old user are respectively obtained, the user characteristic attribute information comprises one or more attribute parameters, the attribute parameters belong to at least one of user basic attribute information, user region attribute information and electronic equipment use information, and the electronic equipment use information comprises preference time periods and/or application program preference information of using the electronic equipment;

and determining the user characteristic similar information of the new user and the old user according to the user characteristic attribute information of the new user and the user characteristic attribute information of the old user.

The attribute parameters included in the user feature information of the new user and the user feature information of the old user may be the same or different, and the number of attribute parameters may be the same or different, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

In the present disclosure, attribute parameters belonging to user base attribute information may include, but are not limited to: user identification, user gender, user age group, profession, marital status, fertility status, etc. Attribute parameters belonging to user zone attribute information may include, but are not limited to: the province, city, county, etc. where the user is located. The electronic device usage information may include a preference period and/or application preference information for using the electronic device. The preference period for using the electronic device may be an active period for the user to use the electronic device. The application preference information may be determined by monitoring the use of the application by the user in the electronic device. The electronic device may be a mobile terminal, such as a cell phone. The application referred to herein may refer to an application that a user downloads in an electronic device and has been activated.

In one embodiment, when the attribute parameter is application preference information, acquiring the user feature attribute information of the new user and the user feature attribute information of the old user may include: determining preference information of a user using each application program, wherein the preference information of the application program is used for representing whether the user prefers to use the application program or not, and the user comprises a new user and an old user; according to the preference information of each application program used by the user, the application program preference information of the user is determined, and the application program preference information is used for representing the application program preferred by the user.

In this embodiment, first, it is determined for each application whether the user prefers to use the application, and thus, preference information for the user to use each application can be obtained. Finally, the application preference information of the user is determined according to the preference information of the user for using each application.

For example, the preference information of the application program is used for characterizing whether the user prefers to use the application program, so that the application program preferred by the user can be screened out according to the preference information of each application program used by the user, and the identification of the screened application program preferred by the user is used as an element of an application program set used by the user in habit, wherein the application program set used in habit can be simply called an application program habit set, and the application program habit set is the application program preference information of the user.

Thus, the application program preference information of the user is determined according to the preference information of the user using each application program, the accuracy of the determined application program preference information is improved, and the similarity of the determined user characteristics is further improved.

In this embodiment, determining preference information for the user to use each application may include:

for each application program, determining the heat value of the application program used by the user, and determining preference information of the application program used by the user according to the heat value of the application program used by the user.

First, an embodiment of determining a heat value of a user using an application program will be described.

In one possible way, the way to determine the heat value of the user using the application may be: and counting the frequency, the frequency or the duration of the application program used by the user, and determining the heat value of the application program used by the user according to the counted frequency, frequency or duration. For example, assuming that the application program includes application program 1, application program 2, and application program 3, the duration of using application program 1 is 0, the duration of using application program 2 is 6.5 hours, and the duration of using application program 3 is 2 hours, it may be determined that the user uses the heat value of application program 1 to be a first value, uses the heat value of application program 2 to be a second value, uses the heat value of application program 3 to be a third value, and the second value is greater than the third value, and the third value is greater than the first value. The corresponding relation between the frequency, the frequency or the duration of use and the heat value can be preset, and after the frequency, the frequency or the duration of use of each application program is determined, the heat value of use of each application program by a user is determined based on the corresponding relation.

It should be understood that counting the frequency, number of times, or duration of use of the application by the user may be counting the frequency, number of times, or duration of use of the application by the user over a preset period of time.

Considering that the heat value is determined according to the frequency, the number of times or the duration of using each application program by a user, the method is simpler, and the determined heat value has poor reliability.

In another possible manner, the manner of determining the heat value of the user using the application may be: determining the number of times the application program is used by a user; determining the total number of times that the user uses all application programs according to the number of times that the user uses each application program; and determining the heat value of the application program used by the user at least according to the times and the total times of the application program used by the user.

For example, the sum of the number of times the user uses each application may be determined as the total number of times the user uses all applications. For example, assuming that the application programs include application program 1, application program 2, and application program 3, and the number of times the user uses each application program is n1, n2, and n3, respectively, the total number of times the user uses all application programs is n1+n2+n3.

Wherein, at least according to the number of times the user uses the application program and the total number of times, the method for determining the heat value of the user using the application program can be as follows: and determining the ratio of the number of times the user uses the application program to the total number of times as a heat value of the user using the application program.

In yet another possible manner, determining the heat value of the user using the application program further includes: determining a number of users using the application; determining the average number of users using each application program according to the number of users using each application program; according to the number of users and the average number of users, respectively determining first weight information of the duration of the application program used by the users and second weight information of the total duration; accordingly, the manner of determining the heat value of the application program used by the user at least according to the number of times the application program is used by the user and the total number of times can be as follows: and determining the heat value of the application program used by the user according to the times of the application program used by the user, the first weight information, the total times and the second weight information.

For example, first, the number of users using the application program may be obtained from the cloud service corresponding to the mobile phone. Assume that the application is application 1, that is, the total number of users who use application 1 is acquired from the cloud service corresponding to the mobile phone. Further, the ratio of the sum of the number of users using each application to the number of applications may be determined as the average number of users using each application. Then, a ratio of the number of users to a sum of the number of users and the average number of users may be determined as first weight information, a ratio of the average number of users to a sum of the number of users and the average number of users, or a difference of the number 1 and the first weight information may be determined as second weight information. And finally, determining the heat value of the application program used by the user according to the times of the application program used by the user, the first weight information, the total times and the second weight information.

For example, the sum of the number of times the user uses the application program and the product of the sum of the times of the first weight information and the product of the second weight information is determined as the heat value of the user using the application program. For example, the user's heat value using the application may be determined by the following equation (1):

（1）

wherein, Characterizing the user's hotness value using application i,/>Characterizing the number of users using application i,/>Characterization of the average number of users using each application,/>Characterizing first weight information,/>Characterizing the second weight information,/>Characterizing the number of times a user uses application i,/>The total number of times the user uses all applications is characterized.

Thus, the heat value of the new user and the old user using each application program can be respectively determined in the above manner. And, specific embodiments for determining preference information of the user using the application program according to the heat value of the user using the application program will be described.

In one possible manner, for each application, if the heat value of the user using the application is greater than a preset threshold, the application is determined to be the application preferred by the user. The preset threshold may be a custom value.

In another possible manner, the heat value of each application program used by the user is determined, and the application programs are ranked according to the order of the heat values from the top to the bottom, so that the first K application programs can be determined as application programs which are preferred to be used by the user. That is, after the applications are ranked in order of the hot value from large to small, it is determined for each application whether the application belongs to the top K ranked applications, and if so, it is determined that the application is an application preferred for the user. Wherein K is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

In yet another possible manner, determining an average heat value of the user using each application according to the heat value of the user using each application; and determining preference information of the user using the application program according to the heat value and the average heat value of the user using the application program.

For example, if the heat value is greater than or equal to the average heat value, the application is determined to be the application that the user prefers to use, and if the heat value is less than the average heat value, the application is determined to be the application that the user does not prefer to use.

For example, after determining the heat value of the user using each application, the ratio of the sum of all heat values to the number of applications is determined as the average heat value of the user using each application. If the application has a heat value greater than or equal to the average heat value, the habit field habit _app corresponding to the application is marked as 1, otherwise, the habit field habit _app is marked as 0. In this way, the habit field corresponding to each application program can be obtained, then, the application program with habit field habit _app of 1 is screened, and the identification of the application program with habit field habit _app of 1 is used as an element in the application program habit set, so as to obtain the application program preference information of the user.

In one embodiment, according to the user characteristic attribute information of the new user and the user characteristic attribute information of the old user, determining the user characteristic similarity information of the new user and the old user may be: and comparing the attribute parameters included in the user characteristic attribute information of the new user with the attribute parameters included in the user characteristic attribute information of the old user, counting the number of the same attribute parameters, and determining the user characteristic similar information of the new user and the old user according to the ratio of the number of the same attribute parameters to the total number of the attribute parameters. For example, a correspondence between the similarity and the ratio is predetermined, after determining the ratio of the number of the same attribute parameters to the total number of the attribute parameters, the similarity corresponding to the ratio is determined according to the correspondence, and the similarity is determined as user characteristic similarity information of the new user and the old user. The total number of attribute parameters may be the maximum value of the number of attribute parameters included in the user characteristic attribute information of the new user and the number of attribute parameters included in the user characteristic attribute information of the old user.

In another embodiment, according to the user characteristic attribute information of the new user and the user characteristic attribute information of the old user, determining the user characteristic similarity information of the new user and the old user may be: and calculating the user characteristic similarity between the new user and the old user by using cosine similarity according to the weight of the attribute parameters included in the user characteristic attribute information of the new user and the weight of the attribute parameters included in the user characteristic attribute information of the old user. The user feature similarity information is exemplified as user feature similarity, first, according to user feature attribute information of a new user and user feature attribute information of an old user, target attribute parameters of the new user which are the same as those of the old user are determined, and the sum of weights of each target attribute parameter is determined as a first numerical value. And then, performing an evolution operation on the product of the sum of the weights of the attribute parameters included in the user characteristic attribute information of the new user and the sum of the weights of the attribute parameters included in the user characteristic attribute information of the old user to obtain a second numerical value. And finally, determining the ratio of the first numerical value to the second numerical value as the user characteristic similarity of the new user and the old user.

In this embodiment, the weight of the attribute parameter may be a quantized value obtained by performing quantization processing on the attribute parameter, and the influence degree of the attribute parameter belonging to different information on the use of the air conditioner by the user is considered to be different, so the weight of the attribute parameter belonging to different information is different. For example, the weight of the attribute parameter belonging to the user basic attribute information is greater than the weight of the attribute parameter belonging to the user region attribute information, and the weight of the attribute parameter belonging to the user region attribute information is greater than or equal to the weight of the attribute parameter belonging to the electronic device usage information. The weight value of each attribute parameter may be set by itself, which is not specifically limited in this disclosure.

For example, table 1 shows a schematic representation of attribute parameters and weights.

TABLE 1

Among other things, applications for which user preferences for the application preference information characterization may include applications that have a greater impact on using the air conditioner and applications that have a lesser impact on using the air conditioner. Thus, the applications for which the determined user preferences are favorable may be classified into accent applications and other applications. The influence of the key application program on the use of the air conditioner by the user is larger than that of other application programs, and accordingly, as shown in table 1, the weight of the key application program can be set to be larger than that of other application programs. Among other things, accent applications may include, but are not limited to: a wedding application, a fertility application, a child care application, a medical application, a health application, a weight-reducing application, a menstrual application, a sports application, a fitness application, a step counting application, a weather calendar application, and the like. Other applications may include, but are not limited to: audio visual applications, chat social applications, office applications, shopping applications, etc.

After the weight of each attribute parameter is obtained, the user characteristic similarity of the new user and the old user can be obtained through a formula (2):

（2）

wherein, Characterization of the user feature similarity of the new user a to the old user b,/>Attribute parameter set characterizing new user a,/>Attribute parameter set characterizing new user b,/>Weight sum of target attribute parameters characterizing new user a and old user b,/>The sum of the weights of attribute parameters included in the user characteristic attribute information characterizing the new user a,/>The user characteristic attribute information characterizing the new user b includes a sum of the weights of the attribute parameters.

After the user characteristic similarity information of the new user and the old user is determined, the old user with the highest similarity degree can be determined to be a control user similar to the new user, and the air conditioning function preference information of the control user is acquired.

In one embodiment, the air conditioner function preference information may be determined by:

Determining preference information for controlling the user to use each air conditioner function, wherein the preference information for the air conditioner functions is used for representing whether the control user prefers to use the air conditioner functions or not;

And determining air conditioner function preference information of the control user according to the preference information of the control user for using each air conditioner function, wherein the air conditioner function preference information is used for representing the air conditioner function used by the control user.

In this embodiment, first, it is determined for each air conditioner function whether or not the control user prefers to use the air conditioner function, and thus, preference information for controlling the user to use each air conditioner function can be obtained. Finally, according to the preference information of the control user for using each air conditioner function, the air conditioner function preference information of the control user is determined.

For example, the preference information of the air conditioner functions is used for representing whether the control user prefers to use the air conditioner functions, so that the air conditioner functions which are preferred to be used by the control user can be screened out according to the preference information of each air conditioner function which is preferred to be used by the control user, and the identification of the screened air conditioner functions which are preferred to be used by the control user is used as an element of an air conditioner function set which is used by the control user, wherein the air conditioner function set which is used by the habit can be simply called an air conditioner function habit set, and the air conditioner function habit set is the air conditioner function preference information of the control user.

Thus, the air conditioner function preference information of the control user is determined according to the preference information of the control user using each air conditioner function, the accuracy of the determined air conditioner function preference information is improved, and the reliability of air conditioner control is further improved.

In this embodiment, determining preference information for controlling the user to use each air conditioner function may include:

For each air conditioner function, determining a heat value for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function, and determining preference information for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function according to the heat value for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function.

First, an embodiment of determining a heat value for controlling a user to use an air conditioner function will be described.

In one embodiment, the manner of determining the heat value that controls the user to use the air conditioner function may be: and counting the frequency, the frequency or the time length of using the air conditioner function by the control user, and determining the heat value of using the air conditioner function by the control user according to the counted frequency, frequency or time length. By way of example, assuming that the air conditioner function includes three functions of cooling, heating, and dehumidifying, the duration of using the cooling function is 0, the duration of using the heating function is 6.5 hours, and the duration of using the dehumidifying function is 2 hours, it may be determined that the heat value of controlling the user to use the cooling function is a first value, the heat value of using the heating function is a second value, the heat value of using the heating function is a third value, and the second value is greater than the third value, and the third value is greater than the first value. The corresponding relation between the frequency, the frequency or the duration of use and the heat value can be preset, and after the frequency, the frequency or the duration of use of each air conditioner function is determined, the heat value for controlling the user to use each air conditioner function is determined based on the corresponding relation.

Considering that the heat value is determined according to the frequency, the number of times or the duration of using each air conditioner function by a control user, the method is simpler, and the reliability of the determined heat value is poor.

In another embodiment, the manner of determining the heat value for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function may be: determining the duration of controlling the user to use the air conditioner function; and determining the total duration of the control user using all the air conditioner functions according to the duration of the control user using each air conditioner function, and determining the heat value of the control user using the air conditioner functions at least according to the duration of the control user using the air conditioner functions and the total duration.

For example, the sum of the durations of the control user using each air conditioner function may be determined as the total duration of the control user using all the air conditioner functions. For example, assuming that the air conditioner functions include three functions of cooling, heating and dehumidifying, and the duration of controlling the user to use each air conditioner function is t1, t2 and t3, respectively, the total duration of controlling the user to use all the air conditioner functions is t1+t2+t3.

The method for determining the heat value of the air conditioner function used by the control user at least according to the duration and the total duration of the air conditioner function used by the control user may be as follows: and determining the ratio of the time length for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function to the total time length as a heat value for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function.

In yet another embodiment, the manner of determining the heat value that controls the user to use the air conditioner function may be: determining the number of users using the air conditioner function; determining an average number of users using each air conditioner function according to the number of users using each air conditioner function; according to the number of users and the average number of users, third weight information for controlling the duration of the user using the air conditioner function and fourth weight information for the total duration are respectively determined; accordingly, at least according to the duration and the total duration of the control user using the air conditioner function, the method for determining the heat value of the control user using the air conditioner function may be: and determining a heat value for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function according to the duration, the third weight information, the total duration and the fourth weight information for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function.

For example, first, the number of users who use the air conditioner function may be acquired from the cloud service corresponding to the air conditioner. The air conditioner function is assumed to be a heating function, i.e., the total number of users who use the heating function is acquired from the cloud service. Further, the ratio of the sum of the number of users using each air conditioner function to the number of air conditioner functions may be determined as the average number of users using each air conditioner function. Then, a ratio of the number of users to a sum of the number of users and the average number of users may be determined as third weight information, a ratio of the average number of users to a sum of the number of users and the average number of users, or a difference of the number 1 and the third weight information may be determined as fourth weight information. And finally, determining the heat value of the control user using the air conditioner function according to the duration of the control user using the air conditioner function, the third weight information, the total duration and the fourth weight information.

For example, determining the heat value of the control user using the air conditioner function according to the duration of the control user using the air conditioner function, the third weight information, the total duration, and the fourth weight information may include: and determining the sum of the product of the time length for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function and the third weight information and the product of the total time length and the fourth weight information as a heat value for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function. For example, the heat value for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function may be determined by the following formula (3):

（3）

wherein, Characterizing the heat value of controlling the user to use the air conditioner function i,/>Characterizing the number of users using the air conditioner function i,/>Characterization of the average number of users using each air conditioner function,/>Characterizing third weight information,/>Characterizing fourth weight information,/>Representing and controlling duration of using air conditioner function i by user,/>The total duration of time that the control user uses all air conditioner functions is characterized.

Thus, the heat value for controlling the user to use each air conditioner function can be determined in the above manner. Next, a specific embodiment of determining preference information for controlling the use of the air conditioner function by the user based on the heat value for controlling the use of the air conditioner function by the user will be described.

In one embodiment, if the heat value controlling the user to use the air conditioner function is greater than a preset threshold, the air conditioner function is determined to be the air conditioner function preferred by the control user. The preset threshold may be a custom value.

In another embodiment, the heat value of each air conditioner function used by the control user is determined, and the air conditioner functions are ordered according to the order of the heat values from large to small, and the first N air conditioner functions can be determined as the air conditioner functions preferred by the control user. That is, after the air conditioner functions are ordered in the order of the heat value from large to small, it is determined for each air conditioner function whether the air conditioner function belongs to the top N ordered air conditioner functions, and if so, it is determined that the air conditioner function is the air conditioner function that is preferred by the control user.

In yet another embodiment, the average heat value of the control user using each air conditioner function is determined based on the heat value of the control user using each air conditioner function; and determining preference information for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function according to the heat value and the average heat value for controlling the user to use the air conditioner function.

For example, if the heat value is greater than or equal to the average heat value, the air conditioner function is determined to be an air conditioner function that is controlled to be preferred by the user, and if the heat value is less than the average heat value, the air conditioner function is determined to be an air conditioner function that is controlled to be undesirable by the user.

For example, after determining the heat value controlling the user to use each air conditioner function, a ratio of a sum of all heat values to the number of air conditioner functions is determined as an average heat value controlling the user to use each air conditioner function. If the heat value of the air conditioner function is greater than or equal to the average heat value, the habit field habit _hour corresponding to the air conditioner function is marked as 1, otherwise, the habit field habit _hour is marked as 0. In this way, the habit field corresponding to each air conditioner function can be obtained, then the air conditioner function with the habit field habit _hour being 1 is screened, and the identification of the air conditioner function with the habit field habit _hour being 1 is used as an element in the habit set, so that the air conditioner function preference information of the control user is obtained.

It should be understood at first that the air conditioner function preference information of the control user may be dynamically determined during the operation of the air conditioner, that is, the air conditioner function preference information of the control user may be updated periodically or in real time.

It should be further appreciated that in the present disclosure, a heat value controlling a user to use each air conditioner function for each preset time period may be determined. For example, for each preset time period, when the heat value of the air conditioner function i used by the control user in the preset time period is determined by using the formula, the parameters used are all parameters counted in the preset time period. That is to say,Characterizing the number of users using the air conditioner function i during the preset time period,/>Representing the average number of users using each air conditioner function during the preset time period,/>Characterizing a duration of controlling a user to use the air conditioner function i within the preset time period,/>And characterizing the total duration of using all the air conditioner functions by the control user in the preset time period. The preset time period may be one day, one hour, or the like.

Accordingly, after determining the heat value of the control user using each air conditioner function in each preset time period, the above manner may be referred to determine preference information of the control user using each air conditioner function in each preset time period, thereby determining preference information of the air conditioner function of the control user in each preset time period. That is, the above-determined air conditioning function preference information of the control user may include air conditioning function preference information of the control user for each preset period of time.

Further, in case the air conditioning function preference information may include air conditioning function preference information for controlling the user in each preset period of time, the method may further include:

Determining a target time period corresponding to the time when the new user uses the air conditioner from a plurality of preset time periods;

Determining air conditioner function preference information of a control user in a target time period from air conditioner function preference information of the control user in a plurality of preset time periods;

Controlling the operation of the air conditioner of the new user according to the air conditioning function preference information, comprising:

And controlling the operation of the air conditioner of the new user according to the air conditioner function preference information of the control user in the target time period.

Since the control user uses the air conditioner in relation to the time period, for example, the control user generally prefers to use the cooling function in summer and the control user generally prefers to use the heating function in winter, in order to improve the accuracy of the air conditioner function recommended for the new user, in this embodiment, the target time period corresponding to the time when the new user uses the air conditioner may be determined from among a plurality of preset time periods. For example, if the preset time period is one day, the target time period corresponding to the time when the new user uses the air conditioner may be the day before the current time or the day of the previous year. For example, the new user uses the air conditioner at a time of 2024, 3, 28, then the target period may be 2024, 3, 27, or 2023, 3, 28.

After the target time period is determined, determining the air conditioner function preference information of the control user in the target time period, and further controlling the operation of the air conditioner of the new user based on the air conditioner function preference information of the control user in the target time period.

By adopting the technical scheme, the target time period corresponding to the moment when the new user uses the air conditioner is determined from a plurality of preset time periods, and the air conditioner function preference information of the control user in the target time period is determined, so that the operation of the air conditioner of the new user is controlled according to the air conditioner function preference information of the control user in the target time period, and the accuracy and reliability of the air conditioner control of the new user are further improved, the air conditioner function can be recommended for the user more accurately, and the user experience is further improved.
