Specifically, the air conditioning control instruction may be a comfortable home type instruction, used to instruct the air conditioner to start the comfortable home mode. Here, the comfortable home mode refers to a mode that can adjust the environment based on the seasonal conditions of the area where the air conditioner is located, the age group of the family members associated with the air conditioner, and the indoor air environment where the air conditioner is located. In this way, after the air conditioner receives the air conditioning control instruction, it can respond to the air conditioning control instruction and determine the target season information of the area where the air conditioner is located. Here, the area where the air conditioner is located can be a city or a province where the air conditioner is located, and the target season information can be one of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In one example, the air conditioner can obtain the current date information and the regional information where the air conditioner is located; thereby combining the current date information and the regional information where the air conditioner is located, the target season information of the area where the air conditioner is located is determined. This solution can achieve accurate acquisition of target season information.

Understandably, the seasons in different regions are different, and the corresponding environmental climate conditions are also different. Therefore, the air conditioner can combine the target seasonal information to accurately determine the target operating conditions of the constant temperature dehumidification mode. Here, the constant temperature dehumidification mode refers to an operating mode that can reduce the ambient humidity while maintaining the ambient temperature unchanged. In this way, the target operating conditions can be accurately determined.

Further, when the target operating conditions are met, the air conditioner controls it to operate in the constant temperature dehumidification mode.

The area where the air conditioner is located can be the city where the air conditioner is located or the province where the air conditioner is located. Specifically, the current date information can be obtained through the air conditioner's built-in electronic calendar. The built-in position detection device obtains the longitude information and latitude information of the location of the air conditioner, and combines the longitude information and latitude information of the location of the air conditioner to determine the regional information where the air conditioner is located. Here, the position detection device may be a global positioning system or the like. In this way, the current date information and the regional information where the air conditioner is located can be accurately obtained.

Further, after the air conditioner obtains the current date information and the regional information where the air conditioner is located, the target season information of the area where the air conditioner is located can be determined by combining the current date information and the regional information where the air conditioner is located. This solution can combine the climate conditions of different regions at different times to achieve accurate acquisition of target seasonal information, providing an accurate data basis for the operation of the comfortable home model.

Optionally, S22, the air conditioner determines the target season information of the area where the air conditioner is located based on the current date information and the regional information where the air conditioner is located, including:

The target user's temperature adjustment trend for the air conditioner is downward. The temperature adjustment range is the absolute value of the difference between the temperature set by the previous target user for the air conditioner and the temperature set by the target user for the air conditioner this time. For example, if the previous target user’s set temperature for the air conditioner was 25°C, this time the target user’s set temperature for the air conditioner is 23℃, then the temperature adjustment range is 2℃. Specifically, when the target user's temperature adjustment trend of the air conditioner is the same for multiple consecutive times, the air conditioner determines the range of the temperature adjustment range.

Optionally, the air conditioner determines the target set temperature of the air conditioner based on the temperature adjustment trend, temperature adjustment deviation value and the current set temperature of the air conditioner, including:

When the temperature adjustment trend is upward, the air conditioner determines the sum of the temperature adjustment deviation value and the current set temperature of the air conditioner as the target setting temperature of the air conditioner; when the temperature adjustment trend is downward, the air conditioner determines the current setting temperature The difference between the temperature and the temperature adjustment deviation value is determined as the target setting temperature of the air conditioner.

In this solution, as an example, if the temperature adjustment trend is upward, the current set temperature of the air conditioner is 25°C, and the temperature adjustment deviation value is 2°C, then the target set temperature of the air conditioner is determined to be 27°C; if the temperature If the adjustment trend is downward, the current set temperature of the air conditioner is 25°C, and the temperature adjustment deviation value is 2°C, then the target set temperature of the air conditioner is determined to be 23°C. With this solution, the air conditioner can combine the temperature adjustment trend, the temperature adjustment deviation value and the current set temperature of the air conditioner to accurately obtain the target set temperature, so that the target set temperature determined in this way conforms to the temperature setting rules of the target user. , to meet the target users’ personalized control needs for air conditioners.

Furthermore, the air conditioner can determine the target operating mode of the air conditioner by combining the target season information and the age group to which the voiceprint information belongs. Here, the target operating mode may include a four-season mode for adults and a four-season mode for the elderly and children. For example, if the target season information is spring and the age group to which the voiceprint information belongs is adults, then the target operating mode of the air conditioner is determined to be the adult spring purification mode; if the target season information is autumn and the age group to which the voiceprint information belongs is the elderly and children, Then it is determined that the target operation mode of the air conditioner is the autumn purification and humidification mode for the elderly and children; in this way, when the air conditioner is controlled to execute the target operation mode, the seasonal conditions of the area where the air conditioner is located and the age group conditions of the target users can be referred to when running in the comfortable home mode. , adjust the environment where the air conditioner is located, improve the user's experience of the comfortable home mode, and meet the user's comfort needs for the environment where they are located.

In practical applications, after the air conditioner receives the air conditioning control command, it responds to the air conditioning control command and obtains the current date information and the regional information where the air conditioner is located. If the current date information is March 7, 2021, then March ~ May is determined as the target month range to which the current date information belongs. If the regional information of the air conditioner is Shanghai, then the target seasonal information of the area where the air conditioner is located is determined to be spring, and then the target operating conditions of the constant temperature dehumidification mode can be determined to be that the air conditioner operates comfortably at home. mode and the current ambient humidity is greater than 85%, and then the air conditioner can be controlled to run in the constant temperature dehumidification mode when the air conditioner is running in the comfortable home mode and the current ambient humidity is greater than 85%; and the detection element detects that the carbon dioxide concentration in the environment is high When it is less than or equal to 1000ppm, the air conditioner is controlled to run the constant temperature dehumidification mode and the fresh air mode at the same time.
