Detailed ways

The implementation manner of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for description purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection, Or integrated connection; it can be mechanical connection or electrical connection; it can be direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediary. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application in specific situations.

In the description of this specification, descriptions referring to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific examples", or "some examples" mean that specific features described in connection with the embodiment or example , structures, materials or features are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms are not necessarily directed to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the described specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples and features of different embodiments or examples described in this specification without conflicting with each other.

The present application provides an air conditioner control method, as shown in FIG. 1 . The control method can be used to control various air conditioners, such as wall-mounted air conditioners, cabinet-type air conditioners, window-type air conditioners, and ceiling-type air conditioners, by combining multiple control modes.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the air conditioner control method in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps: S110-S130.

Step S110: Continuously receiving the first control instruction of the wearable device based on the user's bone conduction feedback.

After the air conditioner is powered on, the user can send an interconnection request through the wearable device, and the air conditioner receives the interconnection request from the wearable device; based on the interconnection request, a data link channel between the wearable device and the air conditioner is established, so that the air conditioner establishes a connection with the wearable device ( For example, the interconnection of smart watches, smart bracelets, smart earphones and smart jewelry, etc.).

After the interconnection is established, the wearable device can sense changes in the human body's wrist and finger vibrations in real time, and continuously detect the bone conduction information output by the user through bone conduction, and then the wearable device can generate the first control command from the bone conduction information, and Send the first control command to the control system of the air conditioner.

After the control system of the air conditioner obtains the first control instruction, it can send these data to the wearable device connected with the air conditioner in real time. The user can determine the first control command sent by himself through the wearable device, and when the user needs to control the air conditioner, he can directly select the first control command and use the wearable device to directly adjust it.

Step S120: Continue to receive the second control instruction generated based on the gesture information of the user.

At the same time, the control system of the air conditioner continuously recognizes the gesture information of the user in the area to be recognized, and generates a second control instruction based on the gesture information.

In the process of recognizing gesture information, the air conditioner transmits ultrasonic signals and receives ultrasonic feedback signals, thereby establishing a region to be recognized around the air conditioner. Then the air conditioner uses the received ultrasonic feedback signal to identify the gesture information in the area to be identified. The gesture information is matched with the stored gestures, a control instruction to be matched with the gesture information is determined, and a second control instruction is generated based on the control instruction.

In the process of acquiring and receiving the first control command and the second control command, if the sensitivity of air conditioning control needs to be improved, there is no need to establish the order of receiving the first control command and the second control command, and the first control command can be continuously acquired and received in real time and the second control instruction,

In order to simplify the process of receiving control instructions, according to the user's choice, as shown in Figure 2, ultrasonic gestures can be used as the main control means. That is, after the control system of the air conditioner obtains and receives the second control instruction, it starts to receive the first control instruction. In this way, it can be ensured that when the air conditioner does not receive a gesture instruction, the air conditioner will not change its working state according to the bone transmission instruction.

As shown in Figure 3, bone conduction can be used as the primary means of control. That is, after the control system of the air conditioner obtains and receives the first control instruction, it begins to receive the second control instruction. Thus, it can be ensured that when the air conditioner does not receive the bone conduction command, the air conditioner will not change the working state according to the gesture command.

Step S130: If the first control instruction and the second control instruction are received within a first preset time interval, and the first control instruction and the second control instruction are consistent, control the air conditioner according to the first control instruction and the second control instruction.

After the control system of the air conditioner receives the first control instruction and the second control instruction, if the received first control instruction and the second control instruction are separated by a first preset time. For example, the second control instruction is received within 1 minute after receiving the first control instruction, or the first control instruction is received within 1 minute of receiving the second control instruction, and the first control instruction is consistent with the second control instruction, For example, both the first control instruction and the second control instruction are used to turn on the cooling of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner is controlled to perform cooling according to the first control instruction and the second control instruction.

If the received first control instruction and the second control instruction are inconsistent, for example, the first control instruction is used to turn on the cooling of the air conditioner, while the second control instruction is used to turn on the heating of the air conditioner, the control system of the air conditioner generates an instruction selection request . The instruction selection request can be sent to the wearable device, and based on the instruction selection request, the user can select the first control instruction to control the air conditioner for cooling, or select the second control instruction to control the air conditioner for heating through the wearable device. When the two commands do not conflict with each other, it is also possible to simultaneously select the first control command and the second control command to control the air conditioner.

Bone conduction and ultrasonic gestures complement each other to avoid the inaccurate control of the air conditioner by a single action. The two control methods only need to be operated manually, and bone conduction only senses changes such as the vibration of the wrist and fingers of the human body. Changes in human gestures and other changes will inevitably lead to changes in the other when performing one operation, which will cause a series of changes, record and analyze the changes, and perform a control operation within a certain range. For example: gesture downward swing adjustment If the temperature, bone conduction vibration, etc. are within a certain range, it can be regarded as bone conduction.

Similarly, in the process of using ultrasonic gesture or bone conduction as the main control method, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, if the first control command is inconsistent with the second control command, the user can also select the first control command through the wearable device. command to control the air conditioner, or select the second control command to control the air conditioner. When the two commands do not conflict with each other, it is also possible to simultaneously select the first control command and the second control command to control the air conditioner.

The control method of the air conditioner provided by the present application continuously obtains the first control instruction obtained by bone conduction, and continuously recognizes the gesture information of the user in the area to be recognized in this process, generates the second control instruction, and receives the first control instruction. Within the first preset time interval between the first control command and the second control command, if it is found that the received first control command is consistent with the second control command, the air conditioner is controlled according to the first control command and the second control command, through two The control method complements the air-conditioning control, improves the sensitivity of the air-conditioning control, and achieves the purpose of precisely controlling the air-conditioning, effectively improving the user experience.

In order to improve the accuracy of air-conditioning control, in an embodiment provided by the present application, as shown in FIG. 3 , during the control process, if the first control command is received within the first preset time, if the second If the second control command is used, the first control command is cleared, and the air conditioner is continued to be controlled in the current mode. Automatic control can also be used until the current environment reaches the comfortable temperature of the human body.

For example, if the second control command is not received within 1 minute after receiving the first control command, it means that the user has not confirmed the first control command, the first control command is cleared, and the air conditioner continues to work in the current mode.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 2 , if the first control instruction is not received within the first preset time after receiving the second control instruction, the second control instruction is cleared and the air conditioner continues to be controlled in the current mode.

For example, if the first control command is not received within 1 minute after receiving the second control command, it means that the user has not confirmed the second control command, the second control command is cleared, and the air conditioner continues to work in the current mode.

In the control process of the multi-dimensional combination mode, the control process can also be simplified, and the air conditioner can be controlled by bone conduction or ultrasonic gestures. As shown in Figure 3, when the user selects bone conduction to control the air conditioner, within the second preset time after receiving the first control command, if a newly acquired first control command is received; between the first control command and the newly acquired first control command When they are consistent, control the air conditioner according to the first control instruction and the newly acquired first control instruction; when the first control instruction is inconsistent with the newly acquired first control instruction, clear the previously acquired The first control instruction.

Specifically, when the user selects bone conduction to control the air conditioner, within 10 seconds of receiving the first control command, if the same command is received again, the air conditioner is directly controlled to work according to the received control command. If the instruction received again is different, the control instruction is updated, the previously acquired first control instruction is cleared, and the newly acquired first control instruction is retained.

As shown in Figure 2, when the user selects the ultrasonic gesture to control the air conditioner, within the second preset time after receiving the second control command, if a newly acquired second control command is received; When the instructions are consistent, control the air conditioner according to the second control instruction and the newly acquired second control instruction; when the second control instruction is inconsistent with the newly acquired second control instruction, clear the previous Get the second control instruction.

Specifically, when the user selects the ultrasonic gesture to control the air conditioner, within 10 seconds of receiving the second control command, if the same command is received again, the air conditioner is directly controlled to work according to the received control command. If the instruction received again is different, the control instruction is updated, the previously acquired second control instruction is cleared, and the newly acquired second control instruction is retained.
