In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner control method, as shown in fig. 1a, fig. 1a is a schematic flow chart of the air conditioner control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, and the air conditioner control method may include the following steps:

in step 101, a current operation time of an air conditioner is obtained, and a target operation time period in which the current operation time is located is selected from a plurality of preset operation time periods.

The current running time of the air conditioner refers to the air conditioner starting time when a user starts the air conditioner or the current time when the air conditioner continuously runs.

Specifically, the air conditioner may divide the time that the air conditioner may need to supply air for a plurality of users in advance according to the behavior pattern of the users, that is, the preset operation time period. And screening out a target operation time period in which the current operation time is positioned from a plurality of preset operation time periods which are divided in advance by the air conditioner.

For example, the current running time is 11.03, and the preset running time periods are respectively 9 to 10 points, 11 to 12 points and 14 to 16 points, so that the target running time period where the current running time 11.03 is located is 11 to 12 points.

In step 102, a target air supply area corresponding to the target operation time period is determined based on a mapping relationship between the preset operation time period and the air supply area.

For example, the preset operation time period is 9 to 10 points, and the corresponding air supply area is an area A;11 to 12 points, and the corresponding air supply area is an area B; the corresponding air supply area is an area C from 14 points to 16 points. And if the target operation time period is 11 to 12 points, the air supply area B corresponding to the operation time period of 11 to 12 points is the target air supply area.

For example, the area a is a sofa, the area B is a dining table, the area C is a tea table, and if the specified time period is 1 day, the number of users in each area within 1 day is counted. If the number of persons on the sofa is 6 (5 persons exist from 12 to 14 points, 1 person exists from 19 to 20 points), the number of persons on the dining table is 10 (5 persons exist from 11 to 12 points, 5 persons exist from 18 to 19 points), the number of persons on the tea table is 3 (3 persons exist from 8 to 9 points), and the designated number is 4, determining the area A corresponding to the sofa and the area B corresponding to the dining table as air supply areas, determining the operation time periods when the number of users in each air supply area exceeds the designated number (4), and obtaining the preset operation time period corresponding to each air supply area. The preset operation time period corresponding to the area a is 12 to 14, and the time period corresponding to the area B is 11 to 12 and 18 to 19. Thereby establishing a mapping relation between the area A and 12 points to 14 points, and establishing a mapping relation between the area B and 11 points to 12 points and 18 points to 19 points.

In step 103, an initial air supply angle and a final air supply angle when the air conditioner supplies air to the target air supply area are determined.

Wherein:

the RF circuit 110 is configured to receive and transmit electromagnetic waves, and to perform mutual conversion between the electromagnetic waves and the electrical signals, so as to communicate with a communication network or other devices. RF circuitry 110 may include various existing circuit elements for performing these functions, such as an antenna, a radio frequency transceiver, a digital signal processor, an encryption/decryption chip, a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, memory, and the like. The RF circuitry 110 may communicate with various networks such as the internet, intranets, wireless networks, or other devices via wireless networks.

The memory 120 may be used to store software programs and modules, such as program instructions/modules corresponding to the air conditioner control method in the above embodiment, and the processor 180 executes the software programs and modules stored in the memory 120, thereby executing various functional applications and data processing, and improving the intelligence of the air conditioner. Memory 120 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some examples, the memory 120 may further include memory remotely located with respect to the processor 180, which may be connected to the air conditioner 1200 through a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the internet, intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

The input unit 130 may be used to receive input numeric or character information and to generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function control. In particular, the input unit 130 may comprise a touch sensitive surface 131 and other input devices 132. The touch sensitive surface 131, also referred to as a touch display screen or touch pad, may collect touch operations thereon or thereabout by a user (e.g., operations of the user on the touch sensitive surface 131 or thereabout by any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, stylus, etc.), and actuate the corresponding connection means according to a pre-set program. Alternatively, the touch sensitive surface 131 may comprise two parts, a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch control detection device detects the touch control direction of a user, detects signals brought by touch control operation and transmits the signals to the touch control controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device, converts the touch information into touch coordinates, sends the touch coordinates to the processor 180, and can receive and execute commands sent by the processor 180. In addition, the touch-sensitive surface 131 may be implemented in various types of resistive, capacitive, infrared, surface acoustic wave, and the like. In addition to the touch-sensitive surface 131, the input unit 130 may also comprise other input devices 132.

The audio circuit 160 may transmit the received electrical signal converted from audio data to the speaker 161, and the electrical signal is converted into a sound signal by the speaker 161 to be output; on the other hand, the microphone 162 converts the collected sound signal into an electrical signal, receives the electrical signal from the audio circuit 160, converts the electrical signal into audio data, outputs the audio data to the processor 180 for processing, transmits the audio data to, for example, another terminal via the RF circuit 110, or outputs the audio data to the memory 120 for further processing. The audio circuit 160 may also include an ear bud jack to provide communication of the peripheral headphones with the air conditioner 1200.

The air conditioner 1200 may help a user to send and receive e-mail, browse web pages, access streaming media, etc. through the transmission module 170 (e.g., wi-Fi module), which provides wireless broadband internet access to the user. Although fig. 3 illustrates the transmission module 170, it is understood that it does not belong to the essential constitution of the air conditioner 1200, and may be omitted entirely as needed within the scope of not changing the essence of the invention.
