The operation process of smart home appliances often depends on the Internet of Things. , the Internet, and the application and processing of modern technologies such as electronic chips. For example, smart home appliances can be connected to electronic devices to realize remote control and management of smart home appliances by users. In this solution, the air conditioner can collect image information in each room through smart home appliances installed in different rooms, so as to determine that there are insects in the room where the air conditioner is located when there are insect images in the image information. As an example, insects may include various types of cockroaches and the like. Further, the air conditioner can accurately determine the target category information of the insects when it is determined that there are insects in the room where the air conditioner is located. Here, the category of cockroaches may include German cockroaches, American cockroaches, and the like. Therefore, after the air conditioner determines the target category information of the insects, a more targeted target control scheme of the air conditioner can be determined, so as to control the air conditioner to execute the target control scheme.

Using the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when there are insects in the room where the air conditioner is located, the target category information of the insects is determined, so as to determine the target control scheme of the air conditioner according to the target category information of the insects, so as to control The air conditioner executes the target control scheme. In this way, when there are insects in the room where the air conditioner is located, a more targeted solution can be determined by combining the determined insect category information, so that the insects can be effectively expelled or even eliminated when the air conditioner is controlled to implement the target control scheme. disinfecting, further reducing the pollution of insects to the home environment.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining target type information provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with Fig. 2 , optionally, S11, the air conditioner determines the target type information of insects, including:

S21, the air conditioner obtains the image information of the insect and/or the relevant information of the room where the insect is located.

S22. The air conditioner determines the target category information of the insects according to the image information of the insects and/or the relevant information of the room where the insects are located.

Combined with the relevant information of the room where the insect is located, the target category information of the insect is determined. Here, the information about the room where the insect is located may include room name information or floor material information of the room. In one example, the room name information or the ground material information of the room can be determined in combination with the location information of the smart home appliance that has collected the insects. In this way, the type information of the insect is determined in combination with the determined room name information or the ground material information of the room. In an optimized solution, in order to prevent misjudgment of the insect type, the information of the insect category can also be determined by integrating the image information and the relevant information of the room where the insect is located, so as to prevent the misjudgment of the insect category. With this scheme, the target category information of insects can be accurately determined in various ways, which provides an accurate data basis for the determination of air conditioning control schemes.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another method for determining target type information provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in conjunction with Fig. 3 , optionally, S22, the air conditioner determines the target type information of insects according to the image information of insects, including:

S31. The air conditioner extracts the contour features of the insect from the image information.

S31. The air conditioner determines the category information corresponding to the outline feature of the insect as the target category information of the insect according to the preset correspondence relationship.

In this solution, the profile feature of the insect may be one or more of the body length feature of the insect or the body shape feature of the insect. Specifically, a preset corresponding relationship may be stored in the air conditioner. Here, the preset corresponding relationship refers to the length characteristics of the insects or the body shape characteristics of the insects corresponding to the plurality of categories of insect information. As an example, if the type information of the insect is Blattella germanica, the body length of the corresponding insect is 10-28 mm, and the body shape of the corresponding insect is oval with flat back and abdomen. If the category information of the insect is Periplaneta americana, the body length of the corresponding insect is 28-32mm, and the body shape of the corresponding insect is that there is a large butterfly-shaped brown stripe in the middle of the pronotum, and the There is a complete yellow band on the trailing edge. In this way, after the air conditioner extracts the contour features in the image information, combined with the preset corresponding relationship, the category information corresponding to the contour features of the insects can be determined as the target category information of the insects, so as to combine the contour features of the insects, more accurately Determine the species of insects present in the room where the air conditioner is located.

Optionally, in S22, the air conditioner determines the target category information of the insects according to the relevant information of the room where the insects are located, including:

The air conditioner obtains the insect information database, which stores the category information of insects corresponding to different room name information; the air conditioner matches the insect category information corresponding to the room name information in the insect information database, and determines it as an insect. target category information for .

In this solution, the relevant information about the room where the insect is located may be room name information. Understandably, different classes of insects prefer different areas of activity. Therefore, the insect category information corresponding to different room name information can be stored in the insect information database in combination with the areas where different types of insects prefer to move. As an example, if the category information of insects is German cockroach, the corresponding room name information is kitchen; if the category information of insects is Periplaneta americana, the corresponding room name information is living room. In this way, the air conditioner can match the insect category information corresponding to the room name information in the insect information database, and determine it as the target category information of the insect, so as to combine the name information of the room where the insect is located to more accurately determine the room where the air conditioner is located. Insect classes present.

The air conditioner obtains the insect habit library, which stores the category information of insects corresponding to the ground material information of different rooms; the air conditioner matches the insect category information corresponding to the room's ground material information in the insect habit library, and It is determined as target class information of insects.

In this solution, the relevant information about the room where the insect is located may be ground material information. Understandably, different types of insects prefer to crawl on different ground materials. Therefore, it is possible to combine the ground materials that different types of insects like to crawl on, and store the information on the types of insects corresponding to the ground material information of different rooms in the insect habit library. As an example, if the category information of insects is German cockroach, the floor material information of the corresponding room is tiles; if the category information of insects is Periplaneta americana, the floor material information of the corresponding room is wooden. In this way, the air conditioner can match the insect category information corresponding to the room's ground material information in the insect habit library, and then determine it as the target category information of the insect, so as to combine the ground material information of the room where the insect is located. The species of insects present in the room where the air conditioner is located.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a method for determining a target control scheme provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; in combination with what is shown in Fig. 4 , optionally, S12, the air conditioner determines its target control scheme according to the target category information of insects, including:

S41. The air conditioner determines the target area where the insects grow according to the target category information of the insects.

S42, the air conditioner determines the environmental impact information of the intervening insect growth in the target area.

S43. The air conditioner determines a target control scheme for the air conditioner according to the environmental impact information.

In this scheme, the growth habits of different types of insects can be combined to determine the growth area of this type of insects. Further, the environmental impact information of intervening insect growth in the target area can be determined through different types of sensors associated with the air conditioner. Here, different types of sensors may include image sensors, odor sensors, and the like. The environmental impact information for interfering with the growth of insects may be the environmental impact factors that can promote the growth of insects. Wherein, the environmental impact information may include one or more of environmental humidity, food sealing conditions, and garbage cleaning conditions. Further, the target control scheme of the air conditioner can be determined in combination with the determined environmental impact information. In an example, target control schemes of air conditioners corresponding to different environmental impact information may be prestored in the air conditioner. For example, if the environmental impact information is food sealing, food sealing reminder information may be pushed to the user associated with the air conditioner. If the environmental impact information is garbage cleaning, garbage cleaning reminder information may be pushed to users associated with the air conditioner. In this way, different environmental impact information can be combined to determine a more targeted air-conditioning target control scheme.

Optionally, in S43, the air conditioner determines a target control scheme for the air conditioner according to the environmental impact information, including:

When the environmental impact information is ambient humidity, the air conditioner determines its target control scheme as controlling the air conditioner to reduce the ambient humidity in the target area, so that the ambient humidity in the target area is lower than the humidity threshold.

In this protocol, the target area is the area where the insects are located. The humidity threshold can be preset in the air conditioner. As an example, the humidity threshold can be set at 40% in conjunction with the growing conditions of the insects. Specifically, the target area can be dehumidified by controlling the air conditioner in the room where the target area is located to turn on an appropriate operating mode and adjusting the air supply angle of the air deflector. Here, suitable operation modes may include a dehumidification mode, a temperature and humidity dual control mode, and the like. No specific limitation is made here. In this way, by reducing the environmental humidity in the target area, the growth of insects is inhibited, and the insects can be better expelled.

Optionally, after the target area where the insects grow is determined, the insecticidal device associated with the air conditioner can also be controlled to disinfect the insects in the target area. Here, the insecticidal device associated with the air conditioner may be arranged at different positions in the room, for example, under the sink, behind the refrigerator, under the sofa, behind the washing machine, and so on. In this way, after the target area is determined, the insecticidal device near the target area can be controlled to disinfect the insects. Here, the disinfecting reagents corresponding to different types of insects are stored in the insecticidal device. The operating timing of the insecticidal device can be set in advance, and the insecticidal device can also be turned on after it is determined that there are insects in the room where the air conditioner is located. With this solution, the timing for turning on the insecticidal device is determined in combination with the user's insecticidal needs. In an optimized solution, the fragrance module of the air conditioner can also be turned on after the insecticide device is in operation, so that the insect repellent smell volatilized by the fragrance module can be dispersed in the target area to achieve a better insect repellent effect.
