In conjunction with the system shown in FIG. 1-1 , the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, as shown in FIG. 2 , the method includes:

Step S201: When a user is in a shower space and taking a shower, the first air conditioner obtains the outlet water temperature of the shower device and the user's body surface temperature.

Step S202: The first air conditioner determines a first target temperature according to the outlet water temperature of the shower device and the body surface temperature of the user.

Step S203: the first air conditioner controls its own operation so that the temperature of the shower space reaches a first target temperature.

According to the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a user is in a shower space and taking a shower, a first target temperature is determined according to the water outlet temperature of the shower device and the body surface temperature of the user. The operation of the air conditioner is controlled so that the temperature of the shower space reaches the first target temperature. In this way, when the user takes a shower, the first air conditioner can reasonably adjust the target temperature of the air conditioner according to the water outlet temperature of the shower device, thereby improving the shower experience of the user.

Optionally, the first air conditioner periodically obtains the water outlet temperature of the shower device and the user's body surface temperature. The water outlet temperature of the shower device changes during the user's shower, so the air conditioner in the shower space obtains the water outlet temperature of the shower device once every preset time. In this way, when the user takes a shower, the first air conditioner can adjust the target temperature synchronously with the change of the water outlet temperature of the shower device, thereby improving the accuracy of the air conditioner's adjustment of the target temperature.

Furthermore, the first air conditioner obtains the user's body surface temperature, including: detecting the user's body surface temperature through a configured infrared temperature sensor.

Optionally, the first air conditioner determines the first target temperature according to the outlet water temperature of the shower device and the body surface temperature of the user, including: the first air conditioner determines the average of the outlet water temperature of the shower device and the body surface temperature of the user as the first target temperature.

Further, the first air conditioner determines the average of the water outlet temperature of the shower device and the user's body surface temperature as the first target temperature, including: calculating T ₁ =(T _w +T _m )÷2 to obtain the first target temperature of the first air conditioner, wherein T ₁ is the first target temperature, T _w is the water outlet temperature of the shower device, and T _m is the user's body surface temperature. After the user enters the shower space, the first air conditioner first obtains the state of the shower device. When the shower device is turned on, the water outlet temperature T _w of the shower device is obtained, the user's body surface temperature T _m is obtained through the infrared sensor, and then the first target temperature T ₁ is obtained through calculation.

In some examples, the outlet water temperature _Tw of the shower device is 42°C, and the user's body surface temperature _Tm is 37°C. The first target temperature _T1 = 39.5°C is calculated by _T1 = ( _Tw + _Tm ) ÷ 2.

Optionally, after the first air conditioner determines the first target temperature according to the outlet water temperature of the shower device and the body surface temperature of the user, the method further includes: the first air conditioner sends the first target temperature to the second air conditioner.

In conjunction with the system shown in FIGS. 1-2 , the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, as shown in FIG. 3 , the method includes:

Step S301: When the user is in the shower space and taking a shower, the shower device sends the outlet water temperature to the cloud server.

Step S302: the cloud server receives the outlet water temperature of the shower device.

Step S303: the first air conditioner obtains the user's body surface temperature.

Step S304: the first air conditioner sends the user's body surface temperature to the cloud server.

Step S305: the cloud server receives the user's body surface temperature.

Step S306: the cloud server determines a first target temperature of the first air conditioner according to the outlet water temperature of the shower device and the body surface temperature of the user.

In step S307, the cloud server sends the first target temperature to the first air conditioner.

Step S308: the first air conditioner controls its own operation so that the temperature of the shower space reaches the first target temperature.

Using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cloud server obtains the water outlet temperature of the shower device when the shower device is turned on. The cloud server determines the first target temperature of the first air conditioner according to the water outlet temperature and sends the water outlet temperature to the first air conditioner. The operation of the first air conditioner is controlled so that the temperature of the shower space reaches the first target temperature. In this way, when the user takes a shower, the cloud server can reasonably adjust the target temperature of the air conditioner according to the water outlet temperature of the shower device, thereby improving the user's shower experience.

Optionally, before the user is in the shower space and takes a shower, the method further includes: in response to an instruction from the user to prepare for a shower, starting at a preset time before the user takes a shower, and determining a preset temperature as the second target temperature. Alternatively, the second target temperature is determined according to the user's gender and age.

Further, the first air conditioner determines the second target temperature according to the gender and age of the user, including: obtaining the gender and age entered by the user, searching for the second target temperature corresponding to the entered gender and age in a preset data table, wherein the data table stores at least one second target temperature corresponding to the gender and age.

In some instances, the core body temperature of women is 0.2-0.3 degrees Celsius higher than that of men on average. The core body temperature refers to the temperature of the environment around the heart, liver, brain and other important organs in the trunk that are necessary for maintaining life. Because women's body fat tends to be concentrated under the skin, the fat layer significantly increases the difference between the dermis and the core temperature, which also causes the average body surface temperature of women to be lower than that of men, which means that in the same environment, women usually feel the cold earlier than men. Therefore, when taking a shower, women's temperature requirements for the shower space are different from those for men. When determining the second target temperature, the user can enter the gender and age in the control panel of the air conditioner. Table 1 is a preset data table of the second target temperature corresponding to each age group of women. As shown in Table 1, A represents the age of the user. When the user enters the age A≤12, the second target temperature is 41°C. When the user enters the age 12<A≤24, the second target temperature is 43°C. When 24<A≤36, the second target temperature is 44°C. When 36<A≤48, the second target temperature is 44°C. When A>48, the second target temperature is 47°C.

age Second target temperature A≤12 41℃ 12<A≤24 43℃ 24<A≤36 44℃ 36<A≤48 46℃ A>48 47℃

Table 1

Table 2 is a preset data table of the second target temperature corresponding to each age group of men. As shown in Table 2, when the user enters the age A≤12, the second target temperature is 40°C. When the user enters the age 12<A≤24, the second target temperature is 42°C. When 24<A≤36, the second target temperature is 43°C. When 36<A≤48, the second target temperature is 45°C. When A>48, the second target temperature is 46°C.

age Second target temperature A≤12 40℃ 12<A≤24 42℃ 24<A≤36 43℃ 36<A≤48 45℃ A>48 46℃

Table 2

Optionally, the first air conditioner determines the first target temperature according to the outlet water temperature of the shower device and the user's body surface temperature, including: calculating _T1 = _T2 + ( _Tw - _Tm ) to obtain the first target temperature _T1 , wherein _T2 is the second target temperature, _Tw is the outlet water temperature of the shower device, and _Tm is the user's body surface temperature.

In some examples, the outlet water temperature _Tw of the shower device is 42°C, the user's body surface temperature _Tm is 37°C, and the second target temperature _T2 corresponding to the input gender and age is obtained in the preset data table as 40°C. The first target temperature _T1 = 45°C is obtained by calculating _T1 = _T2 + ( _Tw - _Tm ).

Optionally, when the user is in the shower space and taking a shower, the first air conditioner further includes: adjusting the air outlet angle to avoid blowing directly on the user. This can avoid the health hazard of the user being blown directly by the air conditioner while the user is showering, thereby improving the comfort of the user in using the air conditioner.

Optionally, before the first air conditioner obtains the outlet water temperature of the shower device and the body surface temperature of the user, the method further includes: detecting the user position. If it is detected that the user position is in the shower space, it is determined that the user is in the shower space.

Furthermore, detecting the user's position includes: the first air conditioner collects the user's position in real time through a millimeter wave radar to detect whether the user is in a shower space.

Optionally, before the first air conditioner obtains the water outlet temperature of the shower device and the body surface temperature of the user, the method further includes: the first air conditioner obtains the state of the shower device, and when the shower device is turned on, determines that the user starts showering.

Optionally, after determining that the user has finished showering, the method further includes: the first air conditioner runs a dehumidification mode after the user leaves the bathroom. The first air conditioner detects through a millimeter wave radar that the user is not in the shower space, and then starts running the dehumidification mode to dehumidify the shower space.

As shown in FIG5 , the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

Step S501, in response to a user's instruction to prepare for a shower, the first air conditioner is started at a preset time before the user takes a shower, and a preset temperature is determined as a second target temperature, or the second target temperature is determined according to the user's gender and age.

Step S502: The first air conditioner detects the user's position through a millimeter wave radar to detect whether the user is in a shower space.

Step S506: the first air conditioner controls the operation of the air conditioner in the shower space so that the temperature of the shower space reaches the first target temperature.

Step S507: the first air conditioner obtains the closed state of the shower device, and sends the closed state of the shower device to the second air conditioner.

Step S508: the first air conditioner adjusts the first target temperature to the second target temperature.

Step S509: after the user leaves the bathroom, the first air conditioner operates in a dehumidification mode.

According to the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a user is in a shower space and taking a shower, the first air conditioner obtains the water outlet temperature of the shower device and the user's body surface temperature. According to the water outlet temperature of the shower device and the user's body surface temperature, a first target temperature is determined. The operation of the first air conditioner is controlled so that the temperature of the shower space reaches the first target temperature. In this way, when the user takes a shower, the first air conditioner can reasonably adjust the target temperature of the air conditioner according to the water outlet temperature of the shower device, thereby improving the user's shower experience.

As shown in FIG6 , the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

Step S601: the second air conditioner obtains a first target temperature, and determines a third target temperature according to the first target temperature and the temperature of the space where the second air conditioner is located.

Step S602: The second air conditioner controls its own operation so that the temperature of the space where the second air conditioner is located reaches a third target temperature.

By using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second air conditioner obtains the first target temperature, and the third target temperature is determined according to the first target temperature and the temperature of the space where the second air conditioner is located. In this way, after the user finishes showering, the situation where the user catches a cold due to the large deviation between the temperature of the space where the second air conditioner is located and the temperature in the shower space can be reduced, thereby improving the comfort level of the user when using the air conditioner.

Optionally, the second air conditioner determines the third target temperature according to the first target temperature and the temperature of the space where the second air conditioner is located, including: the second air conditioner determines the average of the first target temperature and the temperature of the space where the second air conditioner is located as the third target temperature.

Further, the second air conditioner determines the third target temperature according to the first target temperature and the temperature of the space where the second air conditioner is located, including: calculating _T3 = ( _T1 + _Tr ) ÷ 2 to obtain the third target temperature of the air conditioner in the space where the second air conditioner is located. Wherein, _T3 is the third target temperature, _Tr is the temperature of the space where the second air conditioner is located, and _T1 is the first target temperature.

In some examples, the temperature _Tr of the space where the second air conditioner is located is 16° C., and the first target temperature _T1 is 39.5° C. The third target temperature _T3 = 27.75° C. is calculated by _T3 = ( _T1 + _Tr ) ÷ 2.

Optionally, a method for controlling an air conditioner further includes: the second air conditioner receives an instruction to turn off the shower device, and when it is detected that the humidity of the space where the second air conditioner is located is less than a preset humidity, the second air conditioner operates a humidification mode. In this way, after the user finishes showering, it is possible to avoid the space where the second air conditioner is located being too dry due to the continuous operation of the second air conditioner, thereby improving the user's comfort when using the air conditioner.

In some instances, the second air conditioner runs a humidification mode when it detects that the humidity outside the shower space is less than 40%. Modern medical meteorological research shows that the most suitable relative humidity for the human body is 40%-50%, and both too high and too low humidity can cause human discomfort. When people use air conditioners for cooling or heating, it is easy to make the indoor air too dry, increasing human discomfort. Therefore, when it is detected that the humidity outside the shower space is less than 40%, the second air conditioner runs a humidification mode. In this way, after the user finishes showering, it can avoid the space where the second air conditioner is located from being too dry due to the continuous operation of the second air conditioner. The comfort level of the user using the air conditioner is improved.
