The specific embodiment

For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent more, the present invention is further detailed explanation below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

As shown in Figure 1, step 11, the transformation period data of human body action; Concrete detection mode has multiple, for example, the data or the duration data of human body single motion and data blanking time of twice action simultaneously blanking time of duration data that can the human body single motion or twice action of human body, according to the different designs purpose of manufacturer, can select wherein a kind of detection method arbitrarily as the detection method of air-conditioner human body action transformation period data.

Step 12 is according to the sleep stage of the transformation period data selection human body that detects described action; At first, according to different sleep stage setting-up time threshold intervals, for example, the threshold values interval of definition single motion duration data is: be less than or equal to 0.2 second for lacking very much (DBS), greater than 0.2 second and smaller or equal to 1 second for lacking (DSS), greater than 1 second and be less than or equal to 10 seconds for growing (DSL), greater than 10 seconds for growing very much (DBL); The weight coefficient in the threshold values interval of each single motion duration data is respectively: DBS is 0.05, DSS is 0.1, DSL is 0.35, DBL is 0.5; The threshold values interval that defines twice action data blanking time is: be less than or equal to 1 second for lacking very much (LBS), greater than 1 second and be less than or equal to 60 seconds for lacking (LSS), greater than 60 seconds and be less than or equal to 600 seconds for growing (LSL), greater than 600 seconds for growing very much (LBL); The weight coefficient in threshold values interval of each twice action data blanking time is respectively: LBS is 0.5, LSS is 0.35, LSL is 0.1, LBL is 0.05; The threshold values addition of the threshold values of single motion duration and twice action blanking time: be the sleeping initial stage more than or equal to 0.7,, be less than or equal to 0.15 and be the phase of sleeping soundly less than 0.7 and greater than 0.15 for sleeping mid-term.Select sleep stage according to human body action transformation period data time corresponding threshold value then, for example, detecting the single motion duration is 2 seconds, and twice action is 30 seconds blanking time, can calculate: DSL+LSS=0.7, result of calculation equals 0.7 in the threshold interval at sleeping initial stage, then is chosen to be the sleeping initial stage;

According to different production demands, the threshold interval of the threshold interval of single motion duration data and/or twice action blanking time can carry out different settings; Because the method for human body action transformation period has a variety of, but, select the principle essence of sleep stage identical according to the human body transformation period data that detect, so this example is only to be specifically described the selection step by data instance blanking time that detects people's single motion duration data and twice action simultaneously.

Step 13 is provided with air-conditioner sleep mode according to the sleep quality stage of selecting, and regulates indoor temperature; The sleeping initial stage, human body moves or other action with more frequent standing up, the time that single motion continues is longer, at this stage human body temperature sense is not changed substantially, but responsive to noise ratio, therefore the design temperature at sleeping initial stage air-conditioning does not change, but, motor speed should reduce, and can reduce noise like this, makes the people enter profound sleep state easily; Sleeping mid-term, human body stand up the action or other action become less, the time that single motion continues is shorter, this stage human body changes to temperature sense, very sensitive to noise, therefore sleeping mid-term air-conditioning design temperature should raise gradually or reduce (according to judging season) along with the time, motor speed reduces, can reduce noise like this, make the people enter profound sleep state easily; In the phase of sleeping soundly, human body is kept stable to temperature sense, and noise sensitivity is decreased, and therefore the design temperature at the stage air-conditioning of sleeping soundly maintains original state, is not changing, and comes in order to avoid the people is waken up from sleep soundly easily.For example, if the weight coefficient of the weight coefficient of single motion duration data and twice action data blanking time with value in the threshold interval at sleeping initial stage, then control air-conditioner sleep mode, it is temperature-resistant to set air-conditioner, motor speed reduces by one grade; If the weight coefficient of the weight coefficient of single motion duration data and twice action data blanking time with value in the threshold interval in sleeping mid-term, then control air-conditioner sleep mode, on the basis of sleeping initial stage air-conditioner adjusting temperature, set air-conditioner reduction in per 0.5 hour or rising temperature 1 degree, according to different demands, also can reduce rising temperature 1 degree etc. in 1 hour; If the weight coefficient of the weight coefficient of single motion duration data and twice action data blanking time with value in the threshold interval of sleeping soundly, then control air-conditioner sleep mode, setting air-conditioner temperature and motor speed no longer change on the basis of sleeping air-conditioner adjusting in mid-term temperature.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the signal of sensor 21 human body action transformation period; Described time signal that signal receiving unit 31 receiving sensors 21 of processor device 22 send and the signal processing unit that described time signal is delivered to processor 22, signal processing unit 32 is according to the signal that transmits, selection comprises the interval corresponding sleep stage of time threshold of the time-varying signal of described reception, according to sleep stage, air-conditioner sleep mode is set, and signal output unit 33 output control signal control air-conditioners are regulated indoor temperature.

The above only is a preferred implementation of the present invention; should be understood that; for those skilled in the art; under the prerequisite that does not break away from the principle of the invention; can also control the temperature link to air-conditioner and make some settings and improvement, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
