Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a control method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be performed in the air conditioner or in a server in communication with the air conditioner. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a description is made of a scheme using a processor of an air conditioner as an execution body.

As shown in fig. 2, the control method for an air conditioner includes:

s201, the processor obtains user data in the space where the air conditioner is located.

S202, the processor determines a wind-sensation-free area according to the user data.

And S203, the processor determines the peripheral area of the non-wind sensing area as the optimal air supply area.

S204, the processor controls the air conditioner to convey the refrigerating capacity or the heating capacity to the optimal air supply area.

By adopting the technical effects provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, at least the following technical effects can be realized: according to the scheme, the area without wind sense can be determined according to the actual user data in the space where the air conditioner is located, the area near the area without wind sense is further determined to be the optimal air supply area, and then the cooling capacity or the heat quantity is conveyed to the area. Because the optimal air supply area is determined according to actual user data, the air outlet of the air conditioner can be effectively prevented from being directly blown to a user, and the accuracy in the direct blowing prevention process is improved. Meanwhile, as the cooling capacity or the heat is preferentially conveyed to the optimal air supply area, and the distance between the optimal air supply area and a user is relatively short, the gas parameters around the user can be more quickly close to the target gas parameters set by the user before the whole space where the air conditioner is located is heated or cooled, and the user experience is improved.

Optionally, the processor determining the peripheral area of the non-wind sensing area as the optimal air supply area includes: the processor determines an annular area within a second distance of the periphery of the non-wind-sensation area as an optimal air supply area. Therefore, the air conditioner can prevent the air outlet from directly blowing to the user, and prevent the air outlet from being far away from the user, and can meet the requirements of direct blowing prevention protection and refrigeration or heating of the user.

Here, the annular region is not limited to a circular ring shape, but is associated with a specific shape of the actual wind-sensation-free region. It is considered that all the regions having the hollow region are in accordance with the annular region referred to in the present application. In addition, when the non-wind-sensation area is a three-dimensional area, the optimal air-supply area should be a corresponding three-dimensional area.

Optionally, the processor controlling the air conditioner to deliver the cooling capacity or the heating capacity to the optimal supply area includes: the processor controls the air conditioner to adjust the air outlet direction to blow to the optimal air supply area. Therefore, the air outlet of the air conditioner can be ensured to avoid users, and the accuracy of the air conditioner in the process of preventing direct blowing is improved.

Optionally, the processor controlling the air conditioner to adjust the air outlet direction to blow to the optimal air supply area includes: the processor adjusts the angles of the air deflector and the swing blades to blow to the optimal air supply area. Specifically, after the processor obtains the specific position of the optimal air supply area, the angle of the air deflector and the swing blade is determined according to the position of the optimal air supply area and the position of the air conditioner. Therefore, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner is guaranteed to be the optimal air supply area, and the accuracy of the direct blowing prevention process is improved.

Optionally, the processor controlling the air conditioner to deliver the cooling capacity or the heating capacity to the optimal supply area includes: the processor controls the air conditioner to adjust the air outlet speed according to the position of the optimal air supply area. Because different air-out speeds can blow cold or heat to different distances, the air conditioner adjusts the air-out speed according to the position of the optimal air supply area, so that the cold or heat can be transmitted to the optimal air supply area, the temperature of the optimal air supply area is enabled to be faster close to the target temperature set by a user, and the user experience is improved.

Optionally, the processor controlling the air conditioner to adjust the air outlet velocity according to the position of the optimal air supply area includes: the processor obtains the position of the optimal air supply area, calculates the distance between the optimal air supply area and the air conditioner, and determines the air outlet speed of the air conditioner according to the distance. Therefore, the air outlet speed which is consistent with the actual situation can be accurately determined, and the cooling capacity or heat can be conveyed to the optimal air supply area more quickly.

The corresponding relation between the distance and the air outlet speed of the air conditioner can be obtained through experiments, and the corresponding relation is stored for calling. Therefore, the air conditioner is directly invoked in the actual running process of the air conditioner, and the operation is simplified.

Optionally, the processor controls the air conditioner to deliver the refrigerating capacity or the heating capacity to the optimal air supply area, including: the processor controls the air conditioner to adjust the wind direction to blow to the optimal air supply area, and controls the air conditioner to adjust the air outlet speed according to the position of the optimal air supply area. Therefore, the accuracy and the speed of cold or heat conveying are improved, the accuracy in the running process of the air conditioner in the direct blowing prevention mode is improved, the optimal air supply area can be more quickly close to the target temperature set by a user, and the user experience is improved.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another control method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be performed in the air conditioner or in a server in communication with the air conditioner. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the scheme is described by taking the processor of the air conditioner as an execution main body.

As shown in fig. 3, the control method for an air conditioner includes:

S301, the processor obtains user data in the space where the air conditioner is located.

S302, in the case that the number of users in the space where the air conditioner is located is 1, the processor determines a wind-sensation-free area according to the positions of the users.

S303, in the case that the number of users in the space where the air conditioner is located is greater than 1, the processor determines a wind-sensation-free area according to the positions of the users and the distance between every two users.

S304, the processor determines the peripheral area of the non-wind sensing area as the optimal air supply area.

S305, the processor controls the air conditioner to deliver the cooling capacity or heating capacity to the optimum air supply area.

In addition, the arrangement of the air-free areas can be further distinguished according to the number of indoor users of the air conditioner, so that the determination of the air-free areas and the optimal air supply areas is more in line with the actual situation, and the accuracy of air outlet of the air conditioner in the process of preventing direct blowing is further improved.

Optionally, the processor obtaining the user data in the space where the air conditioner is located includes: the processor obtains the number of users in the space where the air conditioner is located, and obtains the position of each user in the space where the air conditioner is located, or obtains the position of each user in the space where the air conditioner is located and the distance between every two users. Therefore, the accurate region without wind sense can be determined according to the user data, which is beneficial to the air conditioner to more accurately convey cold or heat, and further is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the air conditioner in the process of preventing direct blowing.

Optionally, after the processor obtains the user data in the space where the air conditioner is located, the method further includes: and under the condition that no user exists in the space where the air conditioner is located, the processor controls the air conditioner to enter the energy-saving mode. Thus, the resource is saved.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another control method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be performed in the air conditioner or in a server in communication with the air conditioner. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the scheme is described by taking the processor of the air conditioner as an execution main body.

As shown in fig. 4, the control method for an air conditioner includes:

S401, the processor obtains user data in the space where the air conditioner is located.

S402, in the case that the number of users in the space where the air conditioner is located is 1, the processor obtains the location of the user.

S403, the processor determines that the area from the user' S position less than or equal to the first distance is a region without wind sensation.

S404, the processor determines the peripheral area of the non-wind sensing area as the optimal air supply area.

S405, the processor controls the air conditioner to deliver the cooling capacity or heating capacity to the optimum air supply area.

In addition, in the case that only one user exists indoors, the nearby area of the user can be directly determined to be a non-wind-sensation area, and the operation of the air conditioner is facilitated to be simplified.

Here, the non-wind sensing region is a stereoscopic region including a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. Therefore, the air outlet of the air conditioner can be ensured not to blow to any part of the user, and the experience of the user is improved.

Alternatively, the processor obtaining the user location may be the processor obtaining a projected image of the user to a horizontal plane. Therefore, the actual situation of the user can be judged more accurately, and the accuracy of the subsequent direct blowing prevention process is improved.

Optionally, the processor determines the area less than or equal to the first distance from the position of the user as a non-wind area, including: the processor determines the outline of the projection image, expands the outline of the projection image by a first distance in each direction, and determines the inner area surrounded by the expanded outline as the wind-sensation-free area in the horizontal direction. Like this, the no wind sense area that forms when different users are in the same position also differs for no wind sense area accords with more with user's gesture, physical characteristics etc. and is favorable to promoting no wind sense area's accuracy, and then is favorable to promoting the accuracy of preventing the direct blowing process.

Optionally, the processor determines the area less than or equal to the first distance from the user's location as a non-wind-sensing area, including: the processor determines a center of the user's location and determines a circular area less than or equal to a first distance from the center of the location as a horizontal area of the non-wind-sensing area. Thus, the air-feeling-free area is a circular area in the horizontal direction, which is beneficial to simplifying the air-conditioner air-feeling-free area.

Wherein the center of the user's position can be determined from the projected image of the user on a horizontal plane. For example, a line segment is formed by taking two points on the outer contour line of the projection image, a plurality of line segments are obtained by repeating the process a plurality of times, and the midpoint of the longest line segment is taken as the center of the user position.

Optionally, the first distance has a value in the range of [0.8m,1.5m ]. More specifically, it may be 0.8m, 1m, 1.2m or 1.5m. Like this, with first distance restriction in suitable scope, can avoid not only having the regional scope of wind sense too little to lead to preventing directly blowing effectually, can avoid not having the regional scope of wind sense too big to lead to the air conditioner air-out too far away from the user again, user experience feels not good.

Optionally, the processor obtaining the position of the user further comprises obtaining a projection of the user in a vertical direction. The projection includes at least two factors, namely the projection height and the projection position.

Optionally, the determining manner of the vertically-oriented wind-sensation-free area includes: the processor obtains a projected height of the user in the vertical direction, determines that the height of the non-wind-sensing area in the vertical direction is greater than or equal to the projected height, and the position of the non-wind-sensing area in the vertical direction includes a position of the projection of the user in the vertical direction. Therefore, the non-wind sensing area can be ensured to comprise all body parts of the user, and the air outlet of the air conditioner can be more accurately prevented from being directly blown to the user. Further, in a practical case, when the user is in different postures, the height and position of the projection of the user in the vertical direction are also different. Therefore, the specific situation of the user can be further refined, the accuracy of the wind-sense-free area is improved more favorably, and further, the cooling or heating requirements of the user are met in the process of performing the direct blowing prevention mode.

Optionally, the determining manner of the vertically-oriented wind-sensation-free area includes: the processor determines the height of the space where the air conditioner is located, and determines the vertical height of the wind-sensation-free area as the height of the space where the air conditioner is located. In this way, the determination process of the non-wind-sensing area is simplified while ensuring that the user is in the non-wind-sensing area.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another control method for an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be performed in the air conditioner or in a server in communication with the air conditioner. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the scheme is described by taking the processor of the air conditioner as an execution main body.

As shown in fig. 5, the control method for an air conditioner includes:

s501, the processor obtains user data in the space where the air conditioner is located.

S502, under the condition that the number of users in the space where the air conditioner is located is greater than 1, the processor selects a target user in the space where the air conditioner is located.

S503, the processor judges whether the distance between the target user and each user in the space where the air conditioner is located is larger than a preset distance threshold.

And S504, determining the first area which only comprises the position of the target user as a non-wind sensing area by the processor under the condition that the distance threshold is larger than the preset distance threshold.

S505, in case that the distance is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold, the processor determines that the second area including the positions of the target users and the positions of all users having the distance from the target users less than or equal to the preset distance threshold is the no-sense area.

S506, the processor determines the peripheral area of the non-wind sensing area as the optimal air supply area.

S507, the processor controls the air conditioner to deliver the refrigerating capacity or the heating capacity to the optimal air supply area.

In addition, in the case where there are a plurality of users in the space where the air conditioner is located, it is possible to distinguish the division of the non-wind sensing area according to the distance between the users. The users with smaller distance are divided into the same area without wind sense, which is beneficial to simplifying the operation of the air conditioner in the process of preventing direct blowing.

Optionally, the selecting, by the processor, the target user includes: the processor selects the target user according to the selection result, and stops selecting the target user when all users in the space where the air conditioner is located are in the area without wind sensation. Therefore, the air conditioner can orderly divide the area without wind sense and simultaneously ensure that the direct blowing prevention is realized for all users in the space where the air conditioner is positioned.

Optionally, in the case that the distance between the target user and each user in the space where the air conditioner is located is greater than a preset distance threshold, the determining manner of the first area includes: the processor determines an area around the user's location that is less than or equal to a third distance as a first area. Wherein the third distance is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold. Therefore, independent areas without wind sense can be formed, and the air conditioner is effectively prevented from blowing out to the user.

Here, the position of the user may specifically be a projected image of the user on a horizontal plane, or may be a position center of the user.

Alternatively, the distance threshold may take on values of 0.5m, 1m, 2m, etc. In the practical application process, the value can be taken according to the practical size of the space where the air conditioner is located and the number of users in the space. For example, the larger the space in which the air conditioner is located, the smaller the number of users, the larger the distance threshold. Therefore, the user can set the distance threshold according to the current actual situation and the actual requirement, and personalized requirements of the user can be met.

Optionally, in the case that the distance between the target user and the user in the space where the air conditioner is located is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold, the determining manner of the second area includes: and expanding the positions of the target users and the positions of all the users with the distance smaller than or equal to a preset distance threshold value outwards to form a fourth distance area serving as a second area.

Wherein the fourth distance is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold and is greater than or equal to half of a maximum distance between the target user and the user satisfying the condition. And the user meeting the condition is that the distance between the user and the target user is smaller than or equal to the preset distance. Therefore, the formed area after expansion can be ensured to be a communicated area, and the operation steps of the subsequent air conditioner when outputting cold or heat can be simplified.

Specifically, in the case where the number of users whose distance from the target user is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold is 1, the non-wind-sensation area is elliptical. In the case where the number of users whose distance from the target user is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold is 2, the no-wind-sensation area is a triangle. Therefore, the formed wind-sensation-free area is simpler in shape, and the operation of air supply to the optimal air supply area by the subsequent air conditioner is simplified.

Here, the determination process of the no-sense area in the case of having a plurality of users will be further described by way of example. The number of detected users in the space where the air conditioner is located is 5, user a, user B, user C, user D, and user E, respectively. Firstly, a user A is selected as a target user, and the distances between the user A and the user B, between the user C and the user D and between the user D and the user E are all larger than a preset distance threshold value through detection. Therefore, the no-sense area where the user a is located includes only the location where the user a is located. And selecting the user B as a target user, and detecting that the distance between the user B and the user D is smaller than a preset distance threshold value and the distance between the user B and the user E is larger than the preset distance threshold value. The non-wind-sensing area where user B is located includes where user B and user D are located. And then selecting the user C as a target user, and detecting that the distance between the user C and the user E is smaller than a preset distance threshold value. The non-wind-sensing area where user C is located includes where user C and user E are located. At this time, all users in the space where the air conditioner is located already belong to the no-wind-sensation area, the target users are not selected any more, and the division of the no-wind-sensation area is also finished. Therefore, under the condition that a plurality of users exist in the space, the wind-sensation-free area can be orderly and accurately divided, and all users are guaranteed to be in the wind-sensation-free area.
