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 collects image information of the target user who is about to wake up.

S12. In a case where the image information indicates that the target user is awake, the air conditioner determines a wake-up assistance scheme for assisting the target user to wake up.

S13, the air conditioner controls it to execute the scheme of assisting getting up.

In this solution, an image acquisition device can be installed on the air conditioner, and the image information of the target user can be collected by the image acquisition device. Here, the image acquisition device may be a camera, and the target user may be a user lying on a bed. In an example, if there are multiple users on the bed, the target user with the highest priority may be determined among the multiple users according to pre-stored priority information. For example, the priority of multiple users can be set in combination with the wake-up time set by each user. Accordingly, the earlier the wake-up time, the higher the priority. In this way, the image information of the target user can be collected more accurately.

Further, after obtaining the image information of the target user, it may be combined with the obtained image information to determine whether the target user is awake. In an example, the target user's eye image may be extracted from the collected image information, and if the target user's eye image indicates that the user's eyes are open, it is determined that the target user is awake. In another example, the behavior image of the target user may be extracted from the collected image information, and if the behavior image of the target user indicates that the user consciously performs a preset behavior, it is determined that the target user is awake. Among them, the preset behavior may include reading a book, playing with a mobile phone, massage, etc. In this way, multiple ways can be combined to determine whether the target user is awake. Therefore, when it is determined that the target user is already awake, an assisting wake-up scheme for assisting the target user to wake up can be determined. In an optimized solution, considering that in autumn and winter, the indoor where the user is located is relatively cold, it is more likely to cause difficulty for the target user to get up, the current season information can also be determined through the server associated with the air conditioner, and the seasonal information is autumn and winter season, and the image information indicates that the target user is already awake, determine a wake-up assistance scheme for assisting the target user to get up. In this way, it is possible to judge the timing of determining the assisting wake-up scheme based on seasonal information and image information, more accurately determine the difficulty of getting up that may occur to the user, and further meet the energy-saving needs of the air conditioner. Therefore, the air conditioner may be controlled to execute the wake-up assistance scheme after the wake-up assistance scheme for the user is determined.

Using the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, by collecting the image information of the target user who is about to get up; and when the image information indicates that the target user is already awake, determine the assisted wake-up scheme for assisting the target user to get up, In this way, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the auxiliary wake-up scheme. In this way, after the target user who is about to get up wakes up, the air conditioner can be controlled to execute the determined assisted wake-up plan, so as to alleviate the target user's difficulty in getting up by adjusting the environment where the target user is located, and provide the user with difficulty in getting up. A more suitable air conditioning control scheme.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining an assisting wake-up scheme provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with what is shown in Fig. 2 , optionally, in S12, the air conditioner determines an assisting wake-up scheme for assisting the target user in getting up, including:

S21. The air conditioner obtains the bed temperature of the target user collected by the infrared sensor.

S22. The air conditioner determines that an assisting wake-up solution for assisting the target user to wake up is to control the air conditioner to operate in a heating mode until the ambient temperature of the target user reaches the bed temperature.

In this solution, an infrared sensor can be set on the air conditioner, specifically, the air conditioner can collect the bed temperature of the target user through the infrared sensor. Understandably, in the autumn and winter seasons, the temperature difference between the temperature of the bed of the target user and the temperature of the environment where the target user is located is relatively large, which makes it difficult for the target user to get up. Therefore, the assisted wake-up scheme for assisting the target user to wake up can be determined as controlling the air conditioner to operate in the heating mode, and can stop the heating mode when the ambient temperature where the target user is located reaches the bed temperature. With this solution, the ambient temperature of the target user can be raised to the bed temperature by running the air conditioner, effectively reducing the difficulty in getting up caused by the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the bed. In an optimized solution, the air supply direction of the air conditioner can also be adjusted while the air conditioner is in the heating mode, so as to control the air conditioner to circulate air to the area where the target user is located. This solution can prevent the user from being uncomfortable due to excessively high air supply temperature, and at the same time, make the hot air blown from the air outlet of the air conditioner be blown to the area where the target user is located as soon as possible, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the target user's bed, so as to solve the problem of the target user. Difficulty getting out of bed.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another method for determining an assisting wake-up scheme provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with what is shown in Fig. 3 , optionally, in S12, the air conditioner determines an assisting wake-up scheme for assisting the target user in getting up, including:

S31. The air conditioner determines the wake-up interval between the current time and the wake-up time of the target user.

S32. The air conditioner determines a wake-up assistance scheme for assisting the target user to wake up according to the wake-up interval.

In this solution, the air conditioner can obtain the wake-up time of the target user through its associated timing device. Here, the wake-up time is the wake-up time of the user, and the timing device may be an alarm clock, a timer, and the like. Specifically, the air conditioner may determine the wake-up interval between the current time and the wake-up time of the target user. For example, if the current time is 8:00 and the wake-up time is 8:35, then the corresponding wake-up interval is 35 minutes. Further, the air conditioner can determine a wake-up assistance scheme for assisting the target user to wake up in combination with the wake-up interval. In this way, in combination with the shortening of the wake-up interval, a more targeted wake-up assistance scheme for assisting the target user to wake up at different times can be determined.

Optionally, in S32, the air conditioner determines a wake-up assistance scheme for assisting the target user to wake up according to the wake-up interval, including:

The air conditioner obtains a light display library, and the light display information corresponding to different wake-up intervals is stored in the light display library. The air conditioner determines that the wake-up assistance scheme for assisting the target user to wake up is to control the light display module to perform light display at different times according to the light display information corresponding to different wake-up intervals.

In this solution, the air conditioner is provided with a light display module. Here, the light display module can be a light bulb assembly, and the light bulb assembly can display lights of different brightnesses or colors. Understandably, the shorter the interval between waking up, the more urgent the act of waking up, the brighter the brightness of the light, and the darker the color of the light. Therefore, the air conditioner can obtain a light display library, and the light display information corresponding to different wake-up intervals is stored in the light display library. Wherein, the light display information may include light brightness and/or light color. As an example, when the interval between waking up is 15 minutes to 30 minutes, the brightness of the light can be determined to be weak; when the interval between getting up is 0 minutes to 15 minutes, the brightness of the light can be determined to be medium brightness; Or when the current time has reached the time to wake up, the brightness of the light is determined to be strong. Further, it may be determined that the wake-up assistance scheme for assisting the target user to wake up is to control the light display module to perform light display at different times according to the light display information corresponding to different wake-up intervals. That is, the air conditioner can control the light display module to display low-brightness lights when the wake-up interval is 15 minutes to 30 minutes, and can control the light display module to display medium-brightness lights when the wake-up interval is 0 minutes to 15 minutes. When it is time to wake up, a strong light is displayed. In this way, the user can know the urgency of getting up as soon as possible through the change of light brightness/light color, which plays a better warning role for urging the user to get up as soon as possible. Further, when it is determined that the target user has left the smart mattress associated with the air conditioner, it is determined that the target user has gotten up, and the light display module is turned off, and when the air conditioner is associated with smart curtains, the smart curtains are turned on. In this way, when the user gets up, the outdoor sunlight can be diffused into the room, so as to provide a better lighting effect for the room.

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 predicts the clothes to be worn by the target user.

S42 , while the air conditioner controls the operation of the heating mode, it sends air to the position of the clothes to be worn, so as to preheat the clothes to be worn.

S43, the air conditioner collects image information of the target user who is about to wake up.

S44. In the case that the image information indicates that the target user is already awake, the air conditioner determines a wake-up assistance scheme for assisting the target user to wake up.

S45, the air conditioner controls to execute the scheme of assisting getting up.

Understandably, the factors that affect the user's difficulty in getting up in autumn and winter also include the low temperature of the user's clothes to be worn, and the user is not used to the temperature of the clothes to be worn after getting up from the warm bed. Therefore, it is possible to preheat the clothes to be worn when the image information of the target user indicates that the target user is awake. Alternatively, the clothes to be worn may be preheated when the current moment reaches the preheating time. Here, the warm-up time is the difference between the wake-up time and the warm-up time. For example, the warm-up time can be 30 minutes. In one example, the wake-up time is 8:00, and the warm-up time is 7:30. Further, the air conditioner can predict the clothes to be worn by the target user. In an example, the air conditioner may predict the clothes worn by the target user the previous day as clothes to be worn. In another example, the air conditioner may also predict the clothes at the target location as clothes to be worn. Wherein, the target location is the location of the clothes to be worn set by the user. Therefore, the air conditioner can control its operation in the heating mode, and at the same time, send hot air to the position of the clothes to be worn, so as to preheat the clothes to be worn. In this way, when the target user gets up, the user's wake-up experience will not be affected by the coldness of the clothes to be worn. In an optimized solution, the setting information of the air conditioner may be set to a maximum value within a preset range. For example, maximum set temperature, maximum set wind speed, etc. In this way, the hot air blown by the air conditioner can be used to preheat the clothes to be worn as soon as possible, so as to achieve the best preheating effect.

Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S13, the air conditioner controls the implementation of the auxiliary wake-up scheme.

S14, the air conditioner controls its associated smart mattress to run a heating mode, so as to heat the target area on the smart mattress.

S15, after a preset period of time, the air conditioner controls the smart mattress to stop the heating mode, and turns on the humidification module of the air conditioner to humidify the target user's face.

In this solution, after the air conditioner executes the assisted wake-up solution, the air conditioner can control its associated smart mattress to run in a heating mode to heat the target area on the smart mattress. Here, the target area is other areas on the smart mattress except the bed area, the smart mattress is the mattress on which the target user lies, and the heating mode is an operation mode that can increase the local temperature of the smart mattress. In this way, the temperature of other areas of the intelligent mattress except the bed area can be increased to realize the local warm-up effect of the intelligent mattress. Further, the smart mattress can be controlled to stop running the heating mode after a preset period of time. Wherein, the preset duration can be 10 minutes or more, which can ensure that the local area of the smart mattress can be fully heated. In addition, the air conditioner can also turn on its humidification module to humidify the face of the target user by blowing cold air to the face of the target user, further alleviating the difficulty of getting up.

Optionally, when it is determined that the target user leaves the smart mattress associated with the air conditioner, the air conditioner controls it to turn on the fresh air mode.

With this solution, the room where the target user is located can be ventilated when the target user has already woken up, so that the target user can breathe fresher air after waking up, so as to maintain a pleasant mood.

In an optimized solution, if the air conditioner determines that the target user has no intention to wake up temporarily after receiving the stop assistance information fed back by the target user, the air conditioner is controlled to stop executing the wake-up assistance solution. In this way, the stop timing of the auxiliary wake-up solution is accurately determined, effectively saving the processing resources of the air conditioner.
