The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes: when the current moment belongs to the viewing time period, acquiring the behavior state information of the users in the movie viewing place; when the behavior state information indicates that the user is performing an interfering behavior, determining the target air outlet mode of the air conditioner according to the interfering behavior; controlling the air conditioner to execute the target air outlet mode, so as to prompt the user who is performing the interfering behavior.

In an example, the execution subject that executes the above steps may be an air conditioner, and the air conditioner belongs to a smart electrical device. Specifically, the air conditioner obtains the current time; when the current moment belongs to the movie viewing period, the air conditioner obtains the behavior state information of the users in the movie viewing place; when the behavior state information indicates that the user is performing an interfering behavior, the air conditioner determines its target air outlet method according to the interference behavior; the air conditioner responds to the control instruction corresponding to the target air outlet method to execute the target air outlet method, so as to achieve the effect of prompting the user who is performing the interfering behavior.

In another example, the execution subject that executes the above steps may be a server, and the server is communicatively connected to the air conditioner. Specifically, the server acquires the current time; when the current moment belongs to the viewing time period, the server acquires the behavior status information of the users in the movie viewing place; when the behavior status information indicates that the user is performing an interfering behavior, the server determines the target air outlet mode of the air conditioner according to the interfering behavior; the server sends the control command corresponding to the determined target air outlet mode to the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner executes the target air outlet mode, thereby achieving the effect of prompting the user who is performing the interfering behavior.

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

S01. In the case that the current moment belongs to a viewing time period, acquire behavior status information of users in a viewing place.

S02. In a case where the behavior state information indicates that the user is performing an interfering behavior, determine a target air outlet mode of the air conditioner according to the interfering behavior.

S03. Control the air conditioner to implement the target air outlet mode, so as to remind the user who is performing the disturbing behavior.

The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure monitors the behavior status of the user during the movie watching period, and when it is detected that the user is performing an interfering behavior, the air conditioner is controlled to perform wind operation in accordance with the target air outlet mode corresponding to the interfering behavior; in this way, the air outlet of the air conditioner is used to prompt the user who is performing the interfering behavior, thereby reducing the possibility of the interfering behavior to a certain extent by reminding the user who is implementing the interfering behavior, thereby effectively improving people's viewing experience in movie viewing places.

In this solution, the viewing place can be used to represent the viewing space of theaters, cinemas and other places. It is understandable that the movie hall of a movie theater and the viewing area of a theater are often closed spaces with a large area, and air conditioners need to be installed to treat the air in the closed spaces. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the air conditioner may be set in a movie viewing place, and may be used to treat the air in the movie watching place.

Optionally, the user's behavior status information is obtained in the following manner: obtain the user's location information; if the location information indicates that the user is in the movie viewing area, obtain the user's behavior detection information; according to the behavior detection information, determine whether the user is implementing interference behavior.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner may be equipped with a camera, and the image information of the air conditioner related area is acquired through the camera device, and the location information of each user is determined when the image information includes users. Here, the associated area of the air conditioner may be an area where the air conditioner can perform air treatment.

In an example, the viewing area may be an air-conditioned associated area. In another example, the associated area of the air conditioner may include a viewing area and a non-viewing area, that is, the viewing area may be a partial area within the associated area of the air conditioner.

In some embodiments, the user's behavior detection information may include: user's action information, and/or, user's voice information. The air conditioner may be equipped with a sound sensor for detecting sound information.

Optionally, judging whether the user is performing an interfering behavior according to the behavior detection information includes: acquiring image information detected by the camera device; analyzing the user's current action information from the image information; and determining that the user is performing an interfering action when the current action information matches the preset interfering action. Among them, the preset interference actions may include standing, stepping on a seat, frequent shaking, etc.

In practical applications, the air conditioner acquires the image information detected by the camera device during the viewing period, and by analyzing the image information, when it is determined that the user in the viewing area has a gesture or action that conforms to the preset interference action, it is determined based on the image information that the user is performing the interference behavior, and the user who is performing the interference behavior and the location information of the user who is performing the interference behavior can be determined from multiple users in the movie viewing area.

As shown in FIG. 2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S11. Obtain location information of the user.

S12. If the location information indicates that the user is in the viewing area, acquire image information of the user.

S13. Analyze the current action information of the user from the image information.

S14. In a case where the current action information matches the preset interfering action, determine that the user is performing an interfering behavior.

In this way, the image information in the movie viewing area is detected by the camera device to determine the current action information of each user in the movie viewing area, and then it is determined based on the current action information of each user whether there is a user who is performing an interfering behavior; and if there is no user performing the interfering behavior, determine the location information of the user who is performing the interfering behavior; and provide an information basis for the air conditioner to further prompt the interfering user through the wind.

Optionally, the sound sensor is set in the above-mentioned movie viewing area; according to the behavior detection information, it is judged whether the user is implementing an interfering behavior, including: obtaining the reference audio information of the current movie at the current moment, and the sound information detected by the sound sensor; determining the comparison result between the sound information and the reference audio information; when the comparison result shows that the noise in the movie viewing area is greater than the preset noise threshold, it is determined that the user is performing an interfering behavior.

In practical applications, the sound information detected by the sound sensor includes not only the sound made by the viewing user but also the sound of the movie being shown. Therefore, when determining whether there is a user who has made noise enough to affect other viewing users through the detected sound information of the viewing area, it is also necessary to determine the audio information of the movie currently being shown, and use the audio information of the movie as the reference audio information for comparison with the detected sound information. Therefore, according to the comparison result, it is determined whether there is a user who is performing an interfering behavior.

As shown in FIG. 3 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S11. Obtain location information of the user.

S21. Acquire sound information detected by the sound sensor when the location information indicates that the user is in the viewing area.

S22. Obtain the reference audio information of the present movie at the current moment.

S23. Determine a comparison result between the sound information and the reference audio information.

S24. When the comparison result indicates that the noise in the viewing area is greater than the preset noise threshold, determine that the user is performing an interfering behavior.

Using the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sound information in the movie viewing area can be detected by the sound sensor, and the sound information can be compared with the audio information of the movie currently being shown to determine whether there is a user who is interfering. In this way, the user behavior can be monitored through sound detection, and the user who is calling or shouting during the movie viewing process can be captured, so as to determine whether there is an interfering user in the movie viewing area.

Optionally, the target air outlet method includes a target air outlet direction, a target outlet air temperature, and a target air outlet wind speed; determining the target air outlet method of the air conditioner according to the interference behavior includes: when it is determined that the user is implementing the interference behavior, determining the location of the user who is implementing the interference behavior as the target air outlet direction; determining the interference type information corresponding to the interference behavior, so as to obtain the target air outlet temperature and/or the target air outlet wind speed that matches the interference type information.

Optionally, when it is determined that there is a user who is performing an interfering behavior, the interference type of the user who is performing the interfering behavior can be determined by acquiring image information of the user, and then the air conditioner is controlled to match the air outlet mode that matches the interference type as the target air outlet mode.

In practical applications, by detecting the existence of users who are performing disturbing behaviors through the above method, and determining the location information of the users, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner can be adjusted to blow air to the users who are performing disturbing behaviors. In order to remind the user who is carrying out the disturbing behavior.

In an example, the determined target air outlet temperature for blowing air to the user who is performing the disturbing behavior may be a preset temperature, for example, 10 degrees Celsius. In another example, the target air outlet temperature may be determined as lowering the preset value of the current air outlet temperature. For example, if the current outlet temperature is 20 degrees Celsius and the preset value is 5 degrees Celsius, then the determined target outlet temperature at this time is 15 degrees Celsius.

Optionally, after the air conditioner gives the blowing reminder to the user who is performing the disturbing behavior, after a first interval, it determines that the user is still performing the disturbing behavior, at this time, the target outlet air temperature can be lowered, and the user is given another blowing reminder. Here, the value of the first interval duration is not specifically limited, and may be set to 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 7 minutes, and so on.

In some embodiments, the air conditioner can also be equipped with an odor sensor; the air conditioner can determine whether the user is performing an interfering behavior according to the behavior detection information, which can include: the air conditioner can obtain the odor information in the movie viewing location detected by the odor sensor; determine whether the user is performing an interference behavior according to the user's behavior detection information and the odor information in the movie viewing location.

Optionally, determining whether the user is performing an interfering behavior according to the behavior detection information of the user and the odor information in the movie viewing place includes: determining whether the user is implementing the interference behavior according to the odor information when the behavior detection information indicates that there is a user who is eating or drinking.

Optionally, judging whether the user is performing an interfering behavior according to the behavior detection information includes: acquiring odor information detected by the odor sensor; and determining that the air conditioner operates in an aromatherapy mode when the odor information indicates that the viewing area has a need for odor treatment.

Wherein, the air conditioner can be configured with an aromatherapy module; the aromatherapy mode of the air conditioner can be activated for controlling the aromatherapy mode, so that the aromatherapy mode releases a spray with a preset smell. The scent of the spray that can be released by the aromatherapy module can be specifically determined according to actual needs. For example, the aromatherapy module can release the scent of banana mango, gardenia lily, etc.

As shown in FIG. 4 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S11. Obtain location information of the user.

S31. When the location information indicates that the user is in the viewing area, acquire the odor information detected by the odor sensor.

S32. In the case where the smell information indicates that the viewing area has a demand for odor treatment, determine that the air conditioner operates in an aromatherapy mode.

Using the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, for the disturbing behavior of using food with a strong smell, the air conditioner can be used to perform aromatherapy on the viewing area as a countermeasure for the disturbing behavior. Even without the cooperation of the user, such a processing method can better alleviate the degree of interference caused by the interfering behavior to other viewing users; thus, by reminding the user who is performing the interfering behavior, the possibility of the occurrence of the interfering behavior can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby effectively improving people's viewing experience in the movie viewing venue.

As shown in FIG. 5 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S41. Obtain the movie information database associated with the movie viewing venue. The movie information database stores the playback information of each session of movies preset to be played by the movie viewing location.

S42. According to the starting time of playing and the duration of the show, determine the playing period corresponding to each session of the movie.

S43. If the current moment matches the playing period of any movie, determine that the current moment belongs to the viewing period.

In this way, the air conditioner can determine whether the current moment belongs to the viewing time period by acquiring specific movie information databases such as the playing arrangement timetable of the theater by executing the above control steps.

Optionally, if the current moment does not belong to the playing period, the current moment may belong to the playing preparation stage or the playing end stage. When it is determined that the current moment belongs to the end stage of playing, the air conditioner can be controlled to turn on the disinfection mode to disinfect the viewing area. When it is determined that the current moment belongs to the playback preparation stage, the viewing area can be pre-cooled or pre-heated, so that the viewing user can be in a suitable temperature environment when entering the viewing area, and further enhance people's viewing experience in the viewing place.

As shown in FIG. 6 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an apparatus for controlling an air conditioner, including a processor (processor) 100 and a memory (memory) 101 . Optionally, the device may also include a communication interface (Communication Interface) 102 and a bus 103.
