First Embodiment

[0026] Before introducing the technical solutions of the embodiment of the present invention, an application scene of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention is firstly explained. The method for controlling the air exiting mode of the air conditioner in the embodiments of the present invention is provided in the air conditioner, and can present different air exiting modes of the air conditioner to the user through augmented reality, so that the user can intuitively feel the effect of the air exiting mode of the air conditioner.

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling the air exiting mode of the air conditioner is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:

S101, receiving an air conditioner control instruction, where the air conditioner control instruction is configured to set the air exiting mode of the air conditioner; and

S102, transmitting augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode to an augmented reality terminal; and rendering, by the augmented reality terminal according to the augmented reality information, an augmented reality scene of an environment, where the air conditioner is located.

[0028] In an optional application scene, the air conditioner control instruction can be transmitted by an air conditioner remote controller and is received; or the air conditioner control instruction can be transmitted by an analog remote controller application or an air conditioner control application in a preset smart mobile terminal and is received. The air conditioner control instruction is configured to set the air exiting mode of the air conditioner.

[0029] In the technical solutions of the embodiment of the present invention, each air exiting mode of the air conditioner corresponds to a different display effect of an augmented reality. For example, in a case that the air exiting mode of the air conditioner is "healthy wind", and when the user sets the air exiting mode of the air conditioner to be the "healthy wind", a forest environment is rendered in the room where the air conditioner is located, and includes plants and animals, as well as sounds of the animal, and composition of air at an air outlet of the air conditioner is adjusted to be similar to that in the forest, thus creating a feeling of walking in a park, and achieving a purpose of relaxation. It should be noted that the description above is only an example, but not intended to limit the technical solutions of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] Each air exiting mode has a corresponding display effect of an augmented reality. Therefore, there is augmented reality information corresponding to the effect of augmented reality of the air exiting mode. The augmented reality information is provided to the augmented reality terminal, so that the augmented reality terminal renders the augmented reality. Optionally, the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode is transmitted to the augmented reality terminal, so that the augmented reality terminal renders the augmented reality scene of the environment where the air conditioner is located according to the augmented reality information.

[0031] In the above display effect of the air exiting mode of the air conditioner, the displayed contents such as the picture, the audio, or the video or the like, is displayed through the augmented reality terminal. For example, the augmented reality terminal includes augmented reality glasses, an augmented reality helmet, and the like. The augmented reality terminal can also be a smart mobile terminal installed with an augmented reality application. The augmented reality terminal renders the augmented reality scene on the basis of the received augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode transmitted by the air conditioner, and the picture or video of the environment where the air conditioner is located, and the picture or the video of the environment is obtained by the augmented reality terminal itself.

[0032] By means of the embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner control instruction for setting the air exiting mode of the air conditioner is received, and the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode is transmitted to the augmented reality terminal, so that the augmented reality terminal renders the augmented reality scene of the environment where the air conditioner is located according to the augmented reality information. The air exiting effect of the air exiting mode of the air conditioner can be intuitively presented to the user, which improves the user's experience, thereby solving the technical problem in the related technology that the user cannot intuitively feel the air exiting effect of the air exiting mode of the air conditioner.

[0033] As an optional implementation, in the embodiments of the present invention, the above method further includes but is not limited to: determining a scene layout of the environment where the air conditioner is located; acquiring a scene element in the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode of the air conditioner; and based on an augmented reality algorithm, rendering a scene layout by using the scene element in the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode of the air conditioner, to obtain the augmented reality scene corresponding to the air exiting mode.

[0038] Optionally, the augmented reality information includes data required to be displayed on the augmented reality terminal, and further includes air conditioner parameter data such as the air composition information, the air speed, and the air speed change and the like. The air conditioner parameter data are used to adjust the exiting air of the air conditioner.

[0039] In an optional application scene, the air speed and the air speed change in the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode are determined according to the air exiting mode of the air conditioner, and then the air conditioner is controlled to blow air according to the air speed and the air speed change in the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode. The air speed is a wind power magnitude of the exiting air of the air conditioner, and the air speed change can include an exiting frequency of the exiting air of the air conditioner and a change range of the air speed. For example, the air exiting mode of the air conditioner is "summer wind".

The air conditioner is configured to blow air with a certain frequency, providing the user with a feeling of enjoying cool under the tree.

[0040] After the smell information in the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode is obtained, the exiting air of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the smell information in the augmented reality information.

Optionally, the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode of the air conditioner further includes the air humidity information used for controlling the air conditioner to adjust the air humidity of the current environment according to the air humidity information in the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode.

[0042] By means of the embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner control instruction for setting the air exiting mode of the air conditioner is received, and the augmented reality information corresponding to the air exiting mode is transmitted to the augmented reality terminal, so that the augmented reality terminal renders the augmented reality scene of the environment where the air conditioner is located according to the augmented reality information. The air exiting effect of the air exiting mode of the air conditioner can be intuitively presented to the user, thus enhancing the user's experience, and further solving the technical problem in the related technology that the user cannot intuitively feel the air exiting effect of the air exiting mode of the air conditioner.

[0043] It shall be noted that the foregoing embodiments of the method have been described as a series of combinations of actions for convenience of the descriptions, but those skilled in the art shall appreciate that the present invention will not be limited to the described sequence of actions because some of the steps can be performed in a different sequence or concurrently according to the present invention. Moreover, those skilled in the art shall also appreciate that the embodiments described in the specification belong to preferred embodiments, and that the actions and modules related thereto will not be necessarily required for the invention.
