Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to electrochromic technology, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for controlling an electrochromic device, a computer device, and a storage medium.
Background
In the current electrochromic device, voltage is generally applied to the electrochromic layer through the conductive layers at two sides of the electrochromic layer to realize the transmittance change of the electrochromic layer, so that in order to ensure the transparency of the conductive layer, the material of the conductive layer can be selected to be very limited, and Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) materials are generally adopted in the prior art. Although ITO is conductive, it is far less conductive than materials such as metals, and therefore, when electrochromic devices change color, there is typically a phenomenon that the periphery has begun to change color, but the center area has not changed color. Particularly in some larger size devices, it often takes seconds for the user to perceive that the edge begins to change color after the voltage is applied to the electrochromic device. In this case, it is difficult to timely determine whether the expected transmittance of the electrochromic device can achieve the desired effect of the user, thereby prolonging the waiting time of the user, and in addition, the user may misunderstand that the electrochromic device is not successfully started, thereby enabling the user to repeatedly operate, resulting in poor user experience.
In order to accelerate the color-changing response speed, the prior art generally adopts a mode of increasing the applied voltage, so that the edge of the electrochromic device changes color rapidly under the drive of high voltage. However, in this state, the edge of the electrochromic device is often in an overcharged state, and the lifetime of the electrochromic device is greatly reduced in long-term use.

The electrochromic device can comprise a dimming area, and the dimming area can be used for changing color according to the target transmittance required by a user, namely a main functional area of the electrochromic device. The control signal can be used for controlling the dimming area to change color according to the designated target transmittance, and in the use process of the electrochromic device, the dimming area can be controlled to change color after the control signal is acquired, and the control signal carries the target transmittance, so that the final state of the dimming area after changing color can be determined. Furthermore, the control signal can also carry the control voltage of the dimming area, the electrochromic device can realize the transmittance change of the electrochromic layer by applying the voltage, and the applied voltage has a corresponding relation with the transmittance after the color change, so that the dimming area can be directly controlled to be changed to the target transmittance by the control voltage in the control signal.
Optionally, acquiring the control signal of the electrochromic device includes: receiving a control signal sent by a user through a remote control terminal; or, the control signal is generated according to the operation of the key or the touch screen on the electrochromic device by the user. Specifically, the user can send out the control signal of electrochromic device through remote control terminal and transmit to electrochromic device, when electrochromic device received this control signal, can begin to control the dimming area and discolour to realize remote control. The user can also directly trigger the electrochromic device to generate a control signal by a corresponding key or a touch screen on the electrochromic device, and the dimming area is controlled to start to change color according to the control signal.
S12, simultaneously controlling the dimming area and the preview area to change color according to the target transmittance, wherein the dimming area is positioned on the electrochromic device, and the time required by the preview area to complete the color change is shorter than the time required by the dimming area to complete the color change.
Specifically, after the control signal of the electrochromic device is obtained, the dimming area can be controlled to be discolored, the preview area corresponding to the dimming area can be controlled to be discolored at the same target transmittance, and compared with the dimming area, the preview area can be rapidly discolored, so that a preview function can be provided for a user.
Optionally, the preview area is located on the electrochromic device or on a remote control terminal external to the electrochromic device. Specifically, the electrochromic device may include a dimming area and a preview area, where the dimming area and the preview area may be respectively and independently discolored, so that a preview function may be directly provided for a user through the electrochromic device, at this time, the dimming area and the preview area may be directly controlled by using the acquired control signal to simultaneously discolor, further, in order to make the preview area complete discoloring faster than the dimming area, the area of the preview area may be far smaller than the area of the dimming area, specifically, the area ratio of the dimming area to the preview area may be set to be greater than or equal to 100, but because the conductive layer used by the electrochromic device has a surface resistance, there is a certain loss, in this case, if the colors of the preview area and the dimming area after completing discoloring are wanted to be the same, different voltages may need to be used to control, at this time, a control voltage required by the preview area may be determined according to a target transmittance carried in the control signal, and the preview area may be controlled by using the control voltage to discolor, so that the preview area may finally reach the target transmittance. Or, the preview area may also be located on a remote control terminal outside the electrochromic device, specifically may be an electrochromic assembly or a display area on the terminal screen, when the preview area is the electrochromic assembly, as in the case of being located on the electrochromic device, the preview area may be controlled directly by using the obtained control signal, or may also be controlled by determining a required control voltage according to a target transmittance carried in the control signal, and when the preview area is a display area on the terminal screen, a pixel value to be displayed may be determined according to the target transmittance carried in the control signal, so that the display area may display a color corresponding to the target transmittance, specifically may be obtained by pre-storing a correspondence between the target transmittance and the display color, so that after the control signal is obtained, the display color may be directly searched according to the correspondence and displayed on the screen. By arranging the preview area on the remote terminal, remote control of the electrochromic device is realized, and a user can conveniently and directly determine that the electrochromic device has started to respond and observe the final state of the electrochromic device after the electrochromic device finishes changing through the remote control terminal.

Specifically, after the dimming area is controlled to start to change color, whether the dimming area reaches a preset cut-off condition or not can be monitored, if yes, the voltage application to the dimming area is stopped or a smaller preset holding voltage is adopted to maintain the transmittance of the dimming area, so that the dimming area is stabilized at the target transmittance. The preset cutoff condition may be that the current is less than or equal to a preset cutoff current, the voltage application time is greater than or equal to a preset time, or the unit charge capacity of the charging process reaches a preset value, etc. Similarly, when the preview area is located on the electrochromic device or is the electrochromic device, after the preview area is controlled to start to change color, whether the preview area reaches a preset cut-off condition may be monitored, and when the preview area reaches the preset cut-off condition, the voltage application to the preview area is stopped or the transmittance of the preview area is maintained by adopting a preset holding voltage.

Wherein the sensor may be an infrared sensing probe or the like.
