The patent abstract shows that this invention discloses a smart home control method, device, refrigerator and medium.
Specifically, the method includes acquiring the sensing data and user input data collected by the sensor, and determining the sensing data confidence corresponding to the sensing data and the user input data confidence corresponding to the user input data.
Next, the user intention is determined based on the user input data, and the confidence adjustment weight is determined based on the perceived data and the perceived data confidence.
Then, the intent confidence is determined by adjusting the weight based on the perceived data confidence, user input data confidence, and confidence.
Finally, according to the user intention and intention confidence, the target control strategy is determined, and the corresponding smart home is controlled according to the target control strategy.
In this way, adaptive and intelligent control of the smart home system is achieved, effectively improving control accuracy and user experience, reducing misoperation, and improving the intelligence level and stability of the smart home system.
