An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, including a processor, a memory storing program instructions, a camera, and a millimeter wave module. The camera is electrically connected to the processor, and is used to detect the number, motion, sleeping position, and sleeping posture of users. The millimeter wave module is electrically connected to the processor and used to detect the user's eye movement and heart rate.

Optionally, the air conditioner further includes an oxygen increasing module for adjusting the oxygen concentration.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S101 , when detecting that the user has a nap behavior, the air conditioner determines the user's sleep state according to the user's motion, eye movement, and heart rate.

S102, the air conditioner determines the wake-up time of the user according to the sleeping state of the user.

S103, the air conditioner wakes up the user by voice or vibration according to the number of users who are taking a nap, the time of awakening and the sleeping position.

Using the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to determine the time when the user is woken up according to the user's sleep state, and determine the appropriate nap time for the user, and according to the number of users who are taking a nap, the time when they are woken up, and the sleeping position , Wake up the user by voice or vibration to wake up the user, choose a reasonable wake-up method to prevent disturbing other users when waking up the user, and ensure that the user who takes a nap wakes up according to the appropriate nap time. Reasonably wake up the user according to the actual situation of the indoor nap user, and improve the quality of the user's nap.

Optionally, the air conditioner wakes up the user by voice or vibration according to the number of users who are taking a nap, the time when they are woken up, and the sleeping position, including: there is only one user who is taking a nap, or there are multiple and all users who are taking a nap When the user's wake-up time is the same, the air conditioner will wake up the user by voice. Or, when there are multiple users who are taking a nap and the users are woken up at different times, the air conditioner vibrates to wake up the users according to the sleeping positions of the users. In this way, the time when the user is woken up is determined according to the sleep state of the user, and the appropriate nap time for the user is determined. When a single user is taking a nap or multiple users are woken up at the same time, it is helpful to wake up the user as soon as possible by directly waking up the user. When multiple users are woken up at different times, the user is woken up by vibration to prevent other users from being disturbed when waking up the user. In this way, it is ensured that the user who takes a nap wakes up according to the appropriate nap time, and the user is reasonably woken up according to the actual situation of the indoor nap user, thereby improving the quality of the user's nap.

Optionally, the air conditioner vibrates and wakes up the user according to the user's sleeping position, including: when the user's sleeping position is on the smart bed device, the air conditioner sends a vibration instruction to the smart bed device, so that the smart bed device The location area vibrates to wake up the user. Alternatively, when the user's sleeping position is outside the smart bed device, the air conditioner sends a vibration command to the wearable device, so that the wearable device vibrates to wake up the user. In this way, it is beneficial to accurately wake up the user according to the user's different sleeping positions, and prevent other users from being disturbed when the user is woken up. In this way, it is ensured that the user who takes a nap wakes up according to the appropriate nap time, and the user is reasonably woken up according to the actual situation of the indoor nap user, thereby improving the quality of the user's nap.

Optionally, the air conditioner sends a vibration instruction to the smart bed device, so that the smart bed device vibrates and wakes up the user according to the location area of the awakened user, including: the air conditioner sends the smart bed device the outline of the smart bed device where the awakened user is located, Vibrates the in-contour area of the smart bed device. In this way, when multiple users are lying on the smart bed device, it is beneficial to accurately wake up the users according to the outline, and prevent other users from being disturbed when waking up the users. In this way, it is ensured that the user who takes a nap wakes up according to the appropriate nap time, and the user is reasonably woken up according to the actual situation of the indoor nap user, thereby improving the quality of the user's nap.

Optionally, the air conditioner determines the user's wake-up time according to the user's sleep state, including: when the user enters light sleep for a preset duration, the air conditioner determines that the user's wake-up time is when the user enters light sleep for a preset time moment. And/or, in the case that the user begins to enter deep sleep within the preset time period, the air conditioner determines that the user's awakened time is the time when the user begins to enter deep sleep. In this way, the user's wake-up time is reasonably determined according to the user's sleep state and the preset duration, so as to ensure that the user who takes a nap wakes up according to the appropriate nap duration. Reasonably wake up the user according to the actual situation of the indoor nap user, and improve the quality of the user's nap.

Optionally, the value range of the preset duration is [20min, 60min]. Specifically, the value of the preset duration may be 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min or 60 min.

Studies have shown that when users take a nap, light sleep of about 20-60 minutes can relax and rest the brain and body systems. If the sleep time is too short, they cannot get enough rest. If the sleep time is too long and then wakes up the user , the deep inhibitory process in the user's cerebral cortex cannot be released immediately, and the closed capillary network cannot be opened immediately, which may easily cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, temporary disorder of the autonomic nervous system, and the human body will feel very uncomfortable. This uncomfortable feeling It takes about 30 minutes or so before it gradually disappears.

In this way, the value of the preset duration is limited, and the user's wake-up time is reasonably determined according to the user's sleep state and the preset duration, so as to ensure that the user who takes a nap wakes up according to the appropriate nap duration. Reasonably wake up the user according to the actual situation of the indoor nap user, and improve the quality of the user's nap.
