Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a control method of theintelligent chair 100 basedair conditioner 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 2, the control method may include the following steps S202 to S206.
Step S202: the human sitting posture of thesmart chair 100 and the ambient temperature of the surrounding environment are obtained. In this step, the human sitting posture may include a distance from the human to the backrest of thesmart chair 100, a head position of the human, a distance from the human to a table in front, and a limb movement of the human. The ambient temperature around thesmart chair 100 may be the temperature near thesmart chair 100, or may be the ambient temperature in the room where thesmart chair 100 is located, such as the room temperature sensed by theair conditioner 200.
Step S204: the operation mode and the set temperature of theair conditioner 200 are determined according to the ambient temperature, and the target wind direction of theair conditioner 200 is determined according to the human sitting posture.
Step S206: an adjustment instruction is transmitted to theair conditioner 200 so that theair conditioner 200 performs temperature adjustment according to the operation mode, the set temperature, and the target wind direction.
In the control method of theair conditioner 200 based on thesmart chair 100 according to the embodiment, the human body sitting posture of thesmart chair 100 and the ambient temperature of the surrounding environment are acquired, the operation mode and the set temperature of theair conditioner 200 are determined according to the ambient temperature, the target wind direction of theair conditioner 200 is determined according to the human body sitting posture, and an adjusting instruction is sent to theair conditioner 200, so that theair conditioner 200 performs temperature adjustment according to the operation mode, the set temperature and the target wind direction.
In an embodiment of the present invention, in the case that the ambient temperature is lower than the first preset threshold, it is determined that the operation mode of theair conditioner 200 is the heating mode, the temperature is set to the second preset threshold, the target wind direction is a position facing thesmart chair 100, and the second preset threshold is greater than the first preset threshold.
In this embodiment, theair conditioner 200 may recognize the position of thesmart chair 100 by means of image recognition. Specifically, for example, a picture of thesmart chair 100 may be previously stored in theair conditioner 200, and theair conditioner 200 may capture an image of the room, and compare the previously stored picture of thesmart chair 100 with the captured image to determine the position of thesmart chair 100. Of course, a preset position of thesmart chair 100 may also be obtained, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited thereto. The first preset threshold may be any value less than or equal to 18 degrees celsius, and may also be set according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The second preset threshold may be a temperature value greater than 18 degrees celsius, such as any value between 19 degrees celsius and 25 degrees celsius, and of course, the second preset threshold may also be set according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. Under the condition that the ambient temperature is lower than the first preset threshold, the operation mode of theair conditioner 200 is determined to be the heating mode, the temperature is set to be the second preset threshold, the target wind direction is towards the position of theintelligent chair 100, the temperature of the position of theintelligent chair 100 can be improved as soon as possible, and therefore the comfort level of a human body on theintelligent chair 100 is improved.
In some other embodiments, after the adjustment instruction is used to instruct theair conditioner 200 to start the heating mode, the adjustment instruction is further used to instruct to adjust the air supply amount of theair conditioner 200 to the maximum air supply amount, so that the user on thesmart chair 100 feels warm as soon as possible, and the comfort of the human body on thesmart chair 100 is improved.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the target wind direction as the position toward thesmart chair 100 may comprise: the user's head position is determined from the human sitting posture and the target wind direction is set to face thesmart chair 100 and avoid the head position.
In this embodiment, the head position of the user sitting on thesmart chair 100 may be identified through image recognition, the head position of the user sitting on thesmart chair 100 may also be identified through infrared ray, and of course, other ways may also be adopted, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention. In the heating mode, if the hot air with a high temperature is continuously blown to the head of the user, the comfort level of the user can be greatly reduced, and in order to avoid the situation, the target wind direction is set to face theintelligent chair 100 and avoid the head position.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of setting the target wind direction to avoid the head position may include: the position of the seat of thesmart chair 100 is pre-estimated based on the head position. Then, the target wind direction is set to be directed downward of the position of the seat.
In this embodiment, the step of predicting the height of the seat of thesmart chair 100 according to the head position may be subtracting a preset height of the trunk of the human body from the height of the head of the human body to obtain the height of the seat. In the heating mode, theair conditioner 200 predicts the height of the seat of thesmart chair 100 according to the head position, and then sets the target wind direction to be toward the lower side of the position of the seat, and in this way, the whole body of the person on thesmart chair 100 can be warmed as soon as possible in the hot wind rising process of the seat bottom, and the comfort of the human body is improved.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after the step of determining the target wind direction as the position facing thesmart chair 100, the method may further include: the number of times of limb actions of the user on thesmart chair 100 within a preset time period is obtained. Then, if the number of times of the limb movement is greater than the preset number of times of movement, the target wind direction is set to a position avoiding thesmart chair 100.
In the present embodiment, when the target wind direction is toward thesmart chair 100, if the user feels uncomfortable being blown by hot wind, a limb action such as shaking the head, turning the body, wiping the forehead, changing clothes, etc. may be generated. If the number of times of the limb movement is greater than the preset number of times of movement, it can be said that the user is uncomfortable to blow hot wind, and the target wind direction is set to a position away from thesmart chair 100, so that the comfort level of the user can be improved. The preset time period may be any value between 1 and 5 minutes, and may also be other values, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The preset action number may be any value between 2 and 5, and may also be other values, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
In one embodiment of the present invention, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the second preset threshold is less than the preset difference, the target wind direction is determined to avoid the position of thesmart chair 100.
In this embodiment, the preset difference may be any value between 0 and 2, or may be set to other values according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention. In the heating mode, when the difference between the ambient temperature and the second preset threshold is smaller than the preset difference, in order to avoid the user from feeling overheating, the target wind direction is determined to be the position where theintelligent chair 100 is avoided, so that the comfort level of the user is improved.
In some other embodiments, the adjustment instruction is further configured to instruct theair conditioner 200 to adjust the air volume to the minimum air volume when the difference between the ambient temperature and the second preset threshold is less than the preset difference.
In an embodiment of the present invention, in the case that the ambient temperature is higher than the third preset threshold, the operation mode of theair conditioner 200 is determined to be the cooling mode, the temperature is set to be the fourth preset threshold, the target wind direction is the position avoiding thesmart chair 100, and the fourth preset threshold is smaller than the third preset threshold.
In this embodiment, the third preset threshold may be a temperature value greater than 25 degrees celsius, and of course, may also be set according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The fourth preset threshold may be any value between 18 and 24, and may of course be set according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. In the cooling mode, theair conditioner 200 adjusts the air supply direction to a direction away from the position of theintelligent chair 100, so that the people on theintelligent chair 100 can be prevented from catching a cold, and the comfort level of the human body is improved.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the target wind direction to avoid the position of thesmart chair 100 may comprise: the head position of the user is determined according to the human sitting posture. Then, the target wind direction is set to be above the head position.
In this embodiment, the upper part of the head position may refer to the right upper part of the head of the human body, but is not limited to the right upper part of the head of the human body, and only needs to be higher than the height of the head of the human body. After theair conditioner 200 starts the cooling mode, the target wind direction is adjusted to be above the head position, so that the temperature of the environment where theintelligent chair 100 is located can be reduced as soon as possible, and the comfort level of a human body is improved.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the control method of theair conditioner 200 based on thesmart chair 100 may further include: the distance from the user to the chair back of thesmart chair 100 is determined according to the human sitting posture. And outputting first reminding information when the distance from the user to the chair back exceeds a first preset range.
In the present embodiment, the distance from the human body to the chair back of thesmart chair 100 and the distance from the human body to the front desk may be measured by distance measuring elements, wherein the distance measuring elements may be distance sensors. When the distance from the human body to the chair back exceeds a first preset range, first reminding information is output, so that the user can be reminded of keeping a correct sitting posture, and the health of the user is guaranteed. The first preset range may be configured according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The first reminding information may be a voice reminding information, or may be a vibration reminding information of thesmart chair 100 itself, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
