Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with what is shown in Fig. 1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S11, the air conditioner acquires behavior information of the user.

S12, in the case that the user's behavior information indicates that the user has discomfort symptoms, the air conditioner determines a target air supply scheme.

S13, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to supply air to the position where the uncomfortable part of the user is located according to the target air supply scheme.

In the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the behavior information refers to behaviors of users. For example, the user's behavior information may include patting the user's back, shaking the head left and right, holding the waist with the hand, and so on. In one example, the air conditioner can collect user behavior information through its associated image collection module. Here, the image acquisition module may be a camera. Specifically, the image acquisition module can be arranged on the front panel of the air conditioner, or can be independently arranged on the surrounding side of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can obtain accurate behavior information of the user. Further, in the case that the user's behavior information indicates that the user has symptoms of discomfort, the air conditioner determines a target air supply scheme. In this solution, the behavior information that the user has uncomfortable symptoms can be preset in the air conditioner. For example, the behavior information of the user in an uncomfortable situation can be preset as the user repeatedly patting the same part. The behavior information of the user in an uncomfortable situation can be preset as the user shaking the same part left and right. In this way, when the behavior information collected by the air conditioner indicates that the user repeatedly slaps and/or shakes the same part left and right, it is determined that the user has symptoms of discomfort. Further, the air conditioner may determine its target air supply scheme when it is determined that the user has symptoms of discomfort. In an example, the distance information between the uncomfortable part of the user and the air outlet of the air conditioner may be determined, and the air supply scheme corresponding to the distance information may be determined as the target air supply scheme. For example, if the uncomfortable part of the user is the shoulder, and the distance between the shoulder and the air outlet of the air conditioner is 1 meter, then the air supply scheme corresponding to 1 meter is determined as the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner. In another example, the air supply scheme corresponding thereto may also be determined as the target air supply scheme based on the exposure of the discomfort site. With this solution, after the air conditioner determines that the user is in an uncomfortable state, the target air supply solution of the air conditioner is determined effectively. Therefore, the air conditioner is controlled to send air to the position where the uncomfortable part of the user is located according to the target control scheme, so as to relieve the discomfort of the user through the impact of the airflow.

Using the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user's physical condition can be judged through the user's behavior information, and when the user is uncomfortable, the target air supply scheme for relieving the user's discomfort symptoms can be determined, so as to control The air conditioner sends air to the position where the uncomfortable part of the user is located according to the target air supply plan, and the airflow blown out by the air conditioner impacts the uncomfortable part, effectively relieving the user's discomfort symptoms, thus providing a more convenient relief for the user The air conditioner control method of the user's discomfort symptoms.

Optionally, in S12, the air conditioner determines a target air supply scheme, including:

The conditioner determines where the uncomfortable part is located.

The air conditioner determines the target air supply scheme according to the position of the uncomfortable part of the user and the position of the air outlet of the air conditioner.

In this solution, the location of the uncomfortable part of the user can be determined in various ways. In an example, the same position where the user shakes left and right or taps repeatedly may be determined as the position where the uncomfortable part is located. For example, if the user pats the shoulder repeatedly, the shoulder is determined as the uncomfortable part, so that the position of the shoulder can be determined as the position of the uncomfortable part. In another example, the infrared sensor associated with the air conditioner can also be used to detect the user's body surface temperature, and according to the pre-stored temperature threshold in the air conditioner, the part whose local temperature is higher than the temperature threshold for a period of time can be determined as an uncomfortable part. Thereby, the location of the uncomfortable part can be obtained. Here, the temperature threshold may be set to 37°C. In this embodiment, the air conditioner can obtain the location of the uncomfortable part of the user through its associated infrared sensor or radar sensor. The air conditioner can also obtain the location of the air outlet of the air conditioner through its own installation information and positioning information. Furthermore, the air conditioner can determine the target air supply scheme in combination with the location of the uncomfortable part of the user and the location of the air outlet of the air conditioner. With this solution, the air conditioner can be controlled in combination with the relative position of the air conditioner and the uncomfortable part of the user, so as to send the air blown from the air outlet of the air conditioner to the uncomfortable part of the user, effectively improving the accuracy of the air supply of the air conditioner.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining the target air supply scheme provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; combined with what is shown in Fig. Wind programs, including:

S21. The air conditioner determines distance information between the user's uncomfortable part and the air conditioner outlet according to the position of the user's uncomfortable part and the position of the air conditioner air outlet.

S31. The air conditioner determines a target air supply scheme according to the distance information.

In this solution, after determining the position of the uncomfortable part and the air outlet of the air conditioner, the distance information between the user's uncomfortable part and the air outlet of the air conditioner can be determined. As an example, the distance information between the uncomfortable part of the user and the air outlet of the air conditioner may be determined through the coordinate difference. Further, after the distance information is determined, the corresponding air-conditioning air supply scheme can be determined. Specifically, the correspondence between the distance information and the air supply scheme of the air conditioner may be stored in advance in the air conditioner. Therefore, after the distance information of the air conditioner is determined, the air supply scheme corresponding to the distance information can be determined according to the pre-stored correspondence, and determined as the target air supply scheme. With this solution, the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner can be more accurately determined to meet the user's air supply needs.

Optionally, in S31, the air conditioner determines the target air supply scheme according to the distance information, including:

In a case where the distance information is less than the first threshold, the air conditioner determines the target air supply scheme as adjusting the fan gear of the air conditioner to a low gear.

In a case where the distance information is greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, the air conditioner determines the target air supply solution as adjusting the fan gear of the air conditioner to a middle level.

In a case where the distance information is greater than the second threshold, the air conditioner determines the target air supply scheme as adjusting the fan gear of the air conditioner to a high level.

In this solution, the target air supply solution can be determined in combination with the determined distance information. Here, the target air supply scheme may include adjusting the operating gear of the air conditioner fan and/or adjusting the air supply temperature of the air conditioner. Specifically, the first threshold and the second threshold may be pre-set in the air conditioner in combination with the air supply volume of the air conditioner. Here, the first threshold is smaller than the second threshold. Understandably, the farther the uncomfortable part of the air conditioner is from the air outlet of the air conditioner, the higher the operating gear required for the air conditioner fan will be. Wind speed loss in . As an example, the first threshold may be 1 meter, and the second threshold may be 2 meters. For example, in a case where the determined distance information is less than 1 meter, it is determined that the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to adjust the fan gear of the air conditioner to a low gear. In a case where the determined distance information is greater than 1 meter and less than 2 meters, the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is determined to be adjusting the fan gear of the air conditioner to a mid-range. In the case that the determined distance information is greater than 2 meters, the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is determined as adjusting the fan gear of the air conditioner to a high level. With this solution, the adjustment scheme of the air conditioner fan is determined based on the relative distance between the user's uncomfortable part and the air outlet of the air conditioner, so as to accurately control the wind blown from the air outlet to reach the user's uncomfortable part. In an optimized solution, if the distance information is greater than the third threshold, a voice reminder is pushed to the user to remind the user to approach the air conditioner. Here, the third threshold is greater than the second threshold, and in an example, the third threshold may be 3 meters. In this way, when the distance between the user and the air conditioner is relatively long, the user can be reminded to approach the air conditioner, so as to avoid the situation that the wind blown from the air outlet of the air conditioner cannot reach the uncomfortable part of the user.

When the distance information is less than the first threshold, the air conditioner determines the target air supply scheme to control the air conditioner to supply air at the first air supply temperature.

When the distance information is greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, the air conditioner determines the target air supply scheme as controlling the air conditioner to supply air at the second air supply temperature.

In a case where the distance information is greater than the second threshold, the air conditioner determines the target air supply scheme to control the air conditioner to supply air at the third air supply temperature.

In this solution, the first threshold and the second threshold may be pre-set in the air conditioner in combination with the air supply volume of the air conditioner. Here, the first threshold is smaller than the second threshold. Understandably, the farther the uncomfortable part of the air conditioner is from the air outlet of the air conditioner, the higher the air supply temperature required by the air conditioner fan is. Here, the air supply temperature is the air temperature at the air outlet of the air conditioner. Therefore, in this solution, the first air supply temperature is lower than the second air supply temperature, and the second air supply temperature is lower than the third air supply temperature. In this way, the temperature loss of the air blown from the air outlet during the blowing process can be reduced to a certain extent. As an example, the first threshold may be 1 meter, the second threshold may be 2 meters, the first air supply temperature may be 50°C, the second air supply temperature may be 55°C, and the third air supply temperature may be 60°C . For example, in a case where the determined distance information is less than 1 meter, determining the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner is to determine the target air supply scheme to control the air conditioner to supply air at 50°C. When the determined distance information is greater than 1 meter and less than 2 meters, determine the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner to control the air conditioner to deliver air at 55°C. When the determined distance information is greater than 2 meters, determine the target air supply scheme of the air conditioner to control the air conditioner to deliver air at 60°C. With this solution, the relative distance between the user's uncomfortable part and the air outlet of the air conditioner is more accurately combined to determine the control scheme for the air supply temperature of the air conditioner, so as to control the hot air blown from the air outlet to accurately reach the user's uncomfortable part.

In an optimized solution, the target air supply scheme may include determining the air supply time of the air conditioner. As an example, the air supply time of the air conditioner may be determined in combination with the user's daily physiotherapy habits. For example, if the user's daily physical therapy habit is physical therapy for 30 minutes, the air supply time of the air conditioner can be determined as 30 minutes, so as to relieve the user's discomfort by controlling the continuous air supply of the air conditioner.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with what is shown in Fig. 3 , an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S31. The air conditioner acquires behavior information of the user.

S32, in the case that the user's behavior information indicates that the user has symptoms of discomfort, the air conditioner determines a target air supply scheme.

S33, in the case that the uncomfortable part of the user is exposed, the air conditioner turns on the steam module, so that the steam released by the steam module spreads to the air outlet of the air conditioner.

S34, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to supply air to the position where the uncomfortable part of the user is located according to the target air supply scheme.

In this solution, a steam module can also be installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner. After the steam module is opened, the steam released by it can be released from the outlet of the steam module and can be distributed throughout the air outlet, so that the air conditioner can The wind blowing from the tuyere is in a state of high temperature and high humidity. In an optimized solution, if the air conditioner is a cabinet air conditioner, multiple steam modules can be arranged from top to bottom on the air outlet side of the cabinet air conditioner, so that when the steam module is turned on, the released steam can be evenly distributed throughout the outlet. tuyere. Here, the steam module includes a water tank, a water pump connected to the water tank, an atomizing device and a PCT heating element that are arranged at the outlet of the steam module and can be switched independently. The operating gear of the module is adjusted. As an example, the steam module has three operating gears, the first gear is 300ml/h, the second gear is 400ml/h, and the third gear is 600ml/h. Specifically, before the air conditioner is controlled to blow air to the position where the user's uncomfortable part is located according to the target air supply scheme, the image information of the position where the user's uncomfortable part is located can be collected, and when the image information indicates that the uncomfortable part is in a naked state, Turn on the steam module. Here, the naked state refers to a state in which the skin is in direct contact with the air. In this way, before the air conditioner is controlled to blow air to the user's uncomfortable part according to the target air supply scheme, the steam released by the steam module can be distributed to the air outlet of the air conditioner, so that the air blown by the air conditioner is in a state of high temperature and high humidity.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with what is shown in Fig. 4 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S41. The air conditioner acquires behavior information of the user.

S42, in the case that the user's behavior information indicates that the user has discomfort symptoms, the air conditioner determines a target air supply scheme.

S43, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to supply air to the position where the uncomfortable part of the user is located according to the target air supply scheme.

S44, the air conditioner collects the temperature of the location where the uncomfortable part of the user is located.

S45. When the temperature is lower than the first air supply temperature, the air conditioner increases its air supply temperature so that the temperature is higher than the first air supply temperature.

In this solution, after the air conditioner is controlled to supply air to the position where the user's discomfort is located according to the target air supply scheme, the temperature at the position where the user's discomfort is located can be collected through its associated infrared sensor. Here, the temperature at the position where the user's uncomfortable part is located may be the air temperature measured around the user's uncomfortable part. Further, when the temperature is lower than the first air supply temperature, the air conditioner may increase its air supply temperature to make the temperature higher than the first air supply temperature. Here, the first air supply temperature may be 50°C. For example, if the infrared sensor collects that the temperature of the air measured around the uncomfortable part of the user is 42°C, it is determined that it is lower than the first air supply temperature, and the air supply temperature of the air conditioner can be increased so that the air temperature measured around the user's uncomfortable part The temperature is higher than 50°C. In this way, it is effectively guaranteed that the high-temperature airflow blown from the air outlet of the air conditioner is still higher than 50°C when it reaches the uncomfortable position of the user, so as to alleviate the discomfort symptoms of the user.

S53, the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to supply air to the position where the uncomfortable part of the user is located according to the target air supply scheme.

S53. The air conditioner acquires image information of the user.

S54, in the case that the image information of the user indicates that there is a color change in the uncomfortable part, the air conditioner lowers its air supply temperature to the first air supply temperature.

In this solution, after the air conditioner is controlled to blow air to the position where the uncomfortable part of the user is located according to the target air supply scheme, the image information of the user can be acquired through its associated image acquisition device, so as to judge the discomfort of the uncomfortable part through the image information of the user. Whether symptoms get worse. It can be understood that if the color of the uncomfortable part becomes darker, it is determined that the discomfort symptoms of the uncomfortable part are aggravated, and the air conditioner can be controlled to reduce the current air supply temperature to the first air supply temperature. As an example, if the color of the uncomfortable part turns red, the air conditioner may be controlled to reduce the current air supply temperature to the first air supply temperature. In this way, when the user is not used to the high-temperature air supply of the air conditioner, the air supply temperature of the air conditioner can be adjusted in time to avoid secondary damage to the uncomfortable part of the user. In an optimized solution, the user's expression can also be judged through image information, and when the user's expression shows anxiety, discomfort, etc., the current air supply temperature of the air conditioner can also be adaptively reduced. Combined with the user's facial expression to adjust the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to further meet the user's comfort needs.
