It can be seen from the background technology that currently smart air conditioners have many functions using Bluetooth. Therefore, how to freely switch the functions of smart air conditioners using Bluetooth is an issue that needs to be solved urgently.

Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide an air-conditioning control method and system that, upon receiving a first user instruction for activating the first target function that requires occupying Bluetooth, controls the smart air-conditioner to change from the default state according to the equipment status of the smart air-conditioner. Switch to the first target state corresponding to the first target function, and use the audio focus occupancy strategy to allocate the audio focus of the smart air conditioner to the target channel to play the voice information corresponding to the first target function to achieve free switching of the smart air conditioner's function of using Bluetooth .

Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a flow chart of an air conditioning control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioning control method includes:

Step S101: When it is detected that the smart air conditioner is powered on, the Bluetooth of the smart air conditioner is turned on, and the smart air conditioner is controlled to enable the default state according to the device status of the smart air conditioner.

In the specific implementation of step S101, when it is detected that the smart air conditioner is powered on (or when it is detected that the smart air conditioner is started), the Bluetooth of the smart air conditioner is turned on; the smart air conditioner is controlled according to the equipment status of the smart air conditioner. Enable the default state (or enter the default state).

In some embodiments, the default state is the network distribution state, the Bluetooth function speaker broadcast state, or no specific state, where the no specific state means that the smart air conditioner does not enable any Bluetooth function broadcast state; the default state can be set according to the actual situation, as given above The content of the default state shown is only an example, and the actual situation of the default state is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that the smart air conditioner is configured with multiple functions that require Bluetooth, and the Bluetooth can only be occupied by one of the functions at a time.

Step S102: Receive the first user instruction.

It should be noted that the first user instruction is used to activate the first target function of occupying Bluetooth.

During the specific implementation of step S102, a first user instruction is received, where the first user instruction can be triggered by voice. For example, the smart air conditioner is equipped with a device (such as a microphone) capable of detecting voice signals, and the user's voice signal is analyzed to detect the voice signal. Obtain the first user instruction; similarly, the first user instruction can also be triggered by the remote control device. For example, the user triggers the first user instruction through the remote control device of the smart air conditioner; in the embodiment of the present invention, the triggering method of the first user instruction does not change. Make specific limitations.

In some embodiments, the first target function may be an air conditioner networking function, a Bluetooth speaker function, or an applet function (also called a Bluetooth applet function) that requires Bluetooth. After activating the first target function, the smart air conditioner will enter the first target state corresponding to the first target function. For example: after activating the Bluetooth speaker function, the smart air conditioner will enter the Bluetooth speaker function broadcast state (first target state); start the air conditioner networking After the function, the smart air conditioner enters the network distribution state (the first target state); after starting the mini program function, the smart air conditioner enters the mini program function broadcast state (the first target state).

It should be noted that after activating the mini program function of the smart air conditioner, the user can control the smart air conditioner through the mini program.

In some embodiments, when the smart air conditioner enters the Bluetooth speaker function broadcast state or the applet function broadcast state, the smart air conditioner (equivalent to the slave device) can perform Bluetooth pairing connection with a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone (equivalent to the master device); Bluetooth After the pairing connection is successful, mobile terminals such as mobile phones can control the smart air conditioner through Bluetooth. The process of Bluetooth pairing and connection between a smart air conditioner and a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone mainly includes Bluetooth device pairing steps, Bluetooth device connection steps and Bluetooth device control steps. The following is an explanation of the Bluetooth pairing and connection process.

Bluetooth device pairing steps: Turn on Bluetooth from the device (smart air conditioner) so that its own device identification (or Bluetooth name) can be searched by nearby devices. The device identification of the slave device can be set to "AC-XXXX (WIFI) -last four digits of mac address)". The master device (mobile terminal) turns on Bluetooth and searches for nearby devices that can be connected; the slave device and the master device complete the first communication authentication in the form of pairing.

Bluetooth device connection steps: For the master device, you can directly connect to the slave device that has a history of successful pairing and connection (no need to pair again). The master device will automatically connect to the last connected slave device after turning on the Bluetooth switch. After the master device and the slave device are successfully connected, the slave device can play the voice message "Bluetooth is connected"; after the connection between the master device and the slave device fails or Bluetooth is disconnected, the slave device can play the voice message "Bluetooth is disconnected" .

Bluetooth device control steps: After the master device and the slave device are successfully connected, the master device can control the slave device to play audio information. Specifically, it can trigger play/continue play, pause, previous song, next song, fast forward, rewind, and sound. Increase, decrease, etc. commands.

Step S103: According to the device status, do not respond to the first user instruction, or respond to the first user instruction.

It should be noted that the device status is a first specific state, a second specific state, a third specific state or a fourth specific state; wherein, the first specific state indicates: the smart air conditioner has no network distribution history and has not received WIFI configuration information. ; The second specific status indication: the smart air conditioner has no network distribution history, has received configuration information and is connected to a wireless access point (AP); the third specific status indication: the smart air conditioner has a network distribution history and is connected to the wireless access point; the third specific status indication: the smart air conditioner has a network distribution history and is connected to the wireless access point; Four specific status indications: Network configuration is successful and configuration information is received.

When the device state is the first specific state, the default state may be the network distribution state; when the device state is the second state or the third state, the default state may be no specific state; when the device state is the fourth specific state, the default state may be Bluetooth-enabled speakers broadcast status.

During the specific implementation of step S103, when the device state is the first specific state, the third specific state, or the fourth specific state, the first user instruction is responded to.

When the device status is the second specific state, it does not respond to the first user command. That is to say, if the smart air conditioner has no network configuration history, but the smart air conditioner has received configuration information and is connecting to the AP (or binding to the AP), this does not respond to the first user command.

Step S104: In response to the first user instruction, control the smart air conditioner to switch from the default state to the first target state corresponding to the first target function.

During the specific implementation of step S104, in response to the first user instruction, the smart air conditioner is controlled to change from the default state to Switch to the first target state corresponding to the first target function. Specifically, control the smart air conditioner to exit (or stop) the default state, and then control the smart air conditioner to enter the first target state.

It should be noted that the first target state may be the same as the default state. For example, in the default state of the smart air conditioner being in the networking state, the user triggers the first user instruction to trigger the air conditioner networking function (the corresponding first target state is the network distribution state ), at this time the first target state is the same as the default state.

In some embodiments, it is determined whether the default state is consistent with the first target state corresponding to the first target function; if the default state is consistent with the first target state, the smart air conditioner is controlled to maintain the default state; if the default state is inconsistent with the first target state, the smart air conditioner is controlled to maintain the default state. The smart air conditioner switches from the default state to the first target state.

For example: assume that the default state of the smart air conditioner is the network distribution state, and the first target state is the network distribution state; in response to the first user instruction, the smart air conditioner is controlled to maintain the network distribution state.

Another example: Assume that the default state of the smart air conditioner is the network distribution state, and the first target state is the Bluetooth speaker function broadcast state. In response to the first user instruction, the smart air conditioner is first controlled to stop the network distribution state, and then the smart air conditioner is controlled to enter the Bluetooth speaker function broadcast state. .

Step S105: Using the preset audio focus occupation strategy, allocate the audio focus of the smart air conditioner to the target channel to play the voice information corresponding to the first target function.

It should be noted that the smart air conditioner is equipped with a playback device (such as a speaker); the target channel is used to play TTS (Text To Speech). The audio focus of the smart air conditioner can only be assigned to one channel at a time, or in other words, the audio focus can only be assigned to one channel at a time. Can be occupied by one channel (equivalent to only one channel can be active).

Channels include but are not limited to: voice output channels (that is, target channels), call channels, voice input channels, alarm clock channels, content channels, etc.; each channel is set with corresponding channel details, which include but are not limited to : Channel priority, the timing of automatically acquiring audio focus, the timing of seizing audio focus, the timing of automatically releasing audio focus, and the timing of losing audio focus, etc.

For example, Figure 2 provides an example diagram of channel detailed information. Channels include: voice output channel (that is, target channel), call channel, voice input channel, alarm clock channel, and content channel. Each channel is set with channel priority, the timing of actively acquiring audio focus, the timing of seizing audio focus, the timing of actively releasing audio focus, and the timing of losing audio focus. Among them, the voice output channel has the highest channel priority, and the content channel has the lowest channel priority. . For the call channel, the channel priority of the call channel is level 2, the call channel's active audio focus acquisition time is "dial the customer service phone through the speaker", the call channel's audio focus preemption time is "local prompt tone/cloud tts active", call The channel's active audio focus release timing is "call end", and the call channel's audio focus loss timing is "stop recording"; for other channels, the channel priority, the timing of actively acquiring audio focus, the timing of preempting audio focus, and the timing of proactively releasing audio focus The timing of losing audio focus, etc. can be seen from the content shown in Figure 2, and will not be explained in detail here.

The audio focus occupancy policy is set in advance, and the audio focus of the smart air conditioner is allocated through the audio focus occupancy policy. The audio focus occupancy policy has the following four rules.

The first rule: only one channel can be active at the same time, or in other words, the audio focus can only be occupied by one channel.

The second rule: If multiple channels need to be active (or multiple channels need to occupy the audio focus), the audio focus will be assigned to the channel with the highest channel priority according to the channel priority.

The third rule: services on the same channel are mutually exclusive and adopt the nearest allocation principle, that is, new services on the same channel interrupt old services.

The fourth rule: For any channel that needs to be active, if the channel priority of the channel currently occupying the audio focus is higher than that of any channel (the aforementioned channel that needs to be active), the audio focus needs to be preempted, and then the audio focus needs to be preempted. The audio focus is allocated according to the channel priority, wherein the audio focus is preferentially allocated to the channel with a high channel priority. For example: combined with the content shown in Figure 2, the voice output channel is currently occupying the audio focus (that is, the smart air conditioner is currently playing TTS). At this time, the alarm channel and content channel (such as Bluetooth audio) need to be active. At this time, the voice needs to be preempted first. The audio focus of the output channel (or grabbing the audio focus of tts) makes the voice output channel inactive; since the channel priority of the alarm channel is higher than the channel priority of the content channel, it is determined that the audio focus is assigned to the alarm channel.

During the specific implementation of step S105, after controlling the smart air conditioner to switch from the default state to the first target state corresponding to the first target function, the audio focus occupancy strategy of the smart air conditioner is used to allocate the audio focus of the smart air conditioner to the target channel to play the first target The voice information corresponding to the function, the voice information corresponding to different first target functions (equivalent to tts) is different. For example: after switching the smart air conditioner from the default state to the Bluetooth speaker function, assign the audio focus of the smart air conditioner to the target channel to play the tts "To turn on the Bluetooth speaker function for you, please use a mobile phone or other device to complete the Bluetooth pairing connection."

In the embodiment of the present invention, when receiving the first user instruction for activating the first target function that requires occupying Bluetooth, the smart air conditioner is controlled to switch from the default state to the third target function corresponding to the first target function according to the equipment status of the smart air conditioner. A target state, and uses the audio focus occupancy strategy to allocate the audio focus of the smart air conditioner to the target channel to play the voice information corresponding to the first target function, so as to achieve free switching of the smart air conditioner's function of using Bluetooth.

For the process of allocating audio focus to the target channel involved in step S105 in Figure 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3, which shows a flow chart of allocating audio focus to the target channel provided by the embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps :

Step S301: Determine whether the audio focus of the smart air conditioner is occupied by the first other channel. If the audio focus is not occupied by the first other channel, step S304 is executed; if the audio focus is occupied by the first other channel, step S302 and step S303 are executed.

It should be noted that the channel priority of the target channel is higher than the channel priorities of the first other channel and the second other channel. As shown in Figure 2, the target channel is the voice output channel, and the target channel has a higher channel priority than other channels.

In the process of specifically implementing step S301, according to the rules of the audio focus occupancy strategy mentioned in step S105 of Figure 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, after controlling the smart air conditioner to switch from the default state to the first target state, the target channel needs to be active; At this time, it is first determined whether the audio focus of the smart air conditioner is occupied by the first other channel, or in other words, it is first determined whether the audio focus is currently occupied by the first other channel.

If the audio focus is not occupied by the first other channel, step S304 is executed to allocate the audio focus to the target channel to play the voice information corresponding to the first target function.

If the audio focus is occupied by the first other channel, step S302 is executed to first seize the audio focus.

Step S302: Seize the audio focus to deactivate the first other channel.

During the specific implementation of step S302, if the audio focus is occupied by the first other channel, the audio focus is first preempted to make the first other channel inactive.

Step S303: Determine whether there is a second other channel that needs to be active. If there is no second other channel that needs to be active, or if there is a second other channel that is active, step S304 is performed.

In the process of specifically implementing step S303, after seizing the audio focus to make the first other channel inactive, it is determined whether there is a second other channel that needs to be active. That is to say, in addition to the target channel needing to be active, it is also necessary to determine whether there is a third other channel that needs to be active. 2. Other channels need to be active.

Since the target channel has the highest channel priority, the audio focus is assigned to the target channel regardless of whether the second other channel needs to be active; that is, if there is no second other channel that needs to be active, or if there is a second other channel If the channel is active, step S304 is executed to allocate the audio focus to the target channel to play the voice information corresponding to the first target function.

Step S304: Assign the audio focus to the target channel to play the voice information corresponding to the first target function.

In some embodiments, during the process of playing the voice information corresponding to the first target function, if there is at least one third other channel that needs to be active, the audio focus is preempted to deactivate the target channel; the audio focus is assigned to the channel priority Highest third other channel. That is to say, when the target channel occupies the audio focus, if there is a new channel (third other channel) that needs to be acquired, the audio focus is preempted to deactivate the target channel, and then the audio focus is allocated according to the channel priority. Give the channel the third highest priority among other channels.

After activating the first target function, the smart air conditioner can also switch the function of the smart air conditioner through a second user instruction (such as being triggered by voice or remote control device). That is to say, during use of the smart air conditioner, the function can be switched through a second user instruction. Switch to activate other functions of the smart air conditioner. For example: after the smart air conditioner starts the Bluetooth speaker function, the user can control the smart air conditioner to start the mini program function through the second user instruction to enter the mini program function broadcast state (in this case, the Bluetooth speaker function broadcast state needs to be stopped first).

In some embodiments, a second user instruction is received, and the second user instruction is used to activate the second target function that occupies Bluetooth; and the second user instruction is responded to to control the smart air conditioner to switch from the first target state to the third target function corresponding to the second target function. Two goals status; using the audio focus occupancy policy, assign the audio focus to the target channel to play the voice information corresponding to the second target function. Regarding the allocation of audio focus, please refer to the description of the above embodiment for details, which will not be described again here.

It can be seen from the contents of the above embodiments that the function of occupying Bluetooth can be started through the first user instruction or the second user instruction. Similarly, the Bluetooth of the smart air conditioner can also be turned off through the Bluetooth shutdown instruction (for example, it can be triggered by voice or remote control device). .

In some embodiments, a Bluetooth turn-off instruction is received; when the device state is the first specific state, the third specific state, or the fourth specific state, respond to the Bluetooth turn-off instruction to control the smart air conditioner to turn off Bluetooth; and use the audio focus occupation policy to set the audio focus to Assigned to the target channel to play a voice message indicating to turn off Bluetooth. For example: the user triggers the Bluetooth shutdown instruction through the command word "Turn off Bluetooth". When the device status is the first specific state, the third specific state, or the fourth specific state, the Bluetooth shutdown instruction is responded to to control the smart air conditioner to turn off Bluetooth and assign the audio focus. Give the target channel to play the voice message "Bluetooth is turned off".

In some embodiments, the smart air conditioner turns on the Bluetooth distribution network broadcast by default to enter the Bluetooth distribution network state, which can support the user to configure the functions of the smart air conditioner (functions that require Bluetooth) through command words, even if the network distribution is not successful. , also supports users to configure the functions of the smart air conditioner through command words; the command words are the voice signals used to trigger the above-mentioned first user command, second user command or Bluetooth shutdown command.

The execution logic corresponding to different command words and the specific content of the tts played are shown in Table 1. It should be noted that the content shown in Table 1 is only the execution logic corresponding to some command words and all the content. Regarding the specific content of the TTS played, Table 1 is not used to limit the execution logic corresponding to the command words and the specific content of the TTS played.

Table 1:

In some embodiments, after the smart air conditioner is successfully connected to the network, the default state of the smart air conditioner is the Bluetooth speaker function broadcast state. That is to say, after the smart air conditioner is successfully connected to the network, it defaults to the broadcast state of the Bluetooth speaker.

It should be noted that the name of the Bluetooth speaker of the smart air conditioner and the name of the applet need to be set to be consistent. For example, they can be set to "AC-XXXX (the last four digits of the WIFI-mac address)".

In order to better explain the first specific state, the second specific state, the third specific state, the fourth specific state and the default state of the smart air conditioner mentioned in the above embodiments, an example is provided through the content shown in Table 2; Table 2 shows the specific contents of the first specific state, the second specific state, the third specific state, the fourth specific state and the default state, as well as the actions and execution results that the smart air conditioner can perform in different states; it should be noted that , the content shown in Table 2 is only part of the example content, and is not used to specifically limit the specific content of the first specific state, the second specific state, the third specific state, the fourth specific state and the default state.
