[0045] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples. Example 1

[0046] This embodiment provides a digital display, which includes a host 11 and a support base 12 for supporting the host.

[0047] The host includes a first BLE module, a display screen 13, a storage module, a thermometer and hygrometer module, and an infrared remote control module.

[0048] The supporting base includes a second BLE module and a WIFI module.

[0049] The first BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) module is used to connect to the second BLE module via a Bluetooth signal, and the first BLE module is also used to connect to the mobile terminal via a Bluetooth signal;

[0050] The first BLE module is used to receive a selection signal transmitted by a mobile terminal, and transmit information of the selection signal to the second BLE module;

[0051] The WIFI module is used to access the server and obtain infrared remote control data corresponding to the information;

[0052] The second BLE module is used to send the infrared remote control data to the first BLE module;

[0053] The storage module is used to store the infrared remote control data;

[0054] The infrared remote control module is used to send a control signal to the electrical appliance corresponding to the selection signal using the infrared remote control data.

[0055] The host and the supporting base of the present invention are separately arranged. The host can significantly prolong the standby time of the host by using BLE alone. The WIFI model consumes a large amount of power, which is borne by the base.

[0056] The host stores infrared remote control data of a number of home appliances, and the mobile phone can be used to control the home appliances after being connected to the host.

[0057] The WIFI module is also used to receive a control instruction initiated by a mobile terminal, and transmit the control instruction to the first BLE module through the second BLE module;

[0058] The infrared remote control module is used to call the infrared remote control data in the storage module according to the control instruction to send a control signal to the electrical appliance.

[0059] When the mobile phone is outdoors, it can be connected to the support base through a wireless network, and the host can be called through the support base to control indoor home appliances.

[0060] Furthermore, the host also includes a judgment module.

[0061] The judgment module is used to judge whether the target infrared remote control data in the control instruction is stored in the storage module. If so, the infrared remote control module is called to send a control signal to the electrical appliance. Otherwise, a selection instruction with information of the target infrared remote control data is transmitted to the second BLE module. The WIFI module accesses the server and obtains the infrared remote control data corresponding to the selection instruction. The first BLE module receives the infrared remote control data corresponding to the selection instruction sent by the second BLE module. The storage module stores the infrared remote control data corresponding to the selection instruction and the infrared remote control module uses the infrared remote control data corresponding to the selection instruction to send a control signal to the electrical appliance corresponding to the selection signal.

[0062] Furthermore, the host further comprises a first processing module, the electrical appliance is an air conditioner,

[0063] The first processing module is used to read the actual temperature value of the thermo-hygrometer module and the control temperature value contained in the most recent control signal;

[0064] The first processing module is used to determine whether the difference between the actual temperature value and the control temperature value is greater than a preset value at a preset time, and if so, to send an adjustment instruction to the infrared remote control module according to the difference, and the infrared remote control module is used to call the infrared remote control data in the storage module according to the adjustment instruction to send a control signal to the electrical appliance;

[0065] The preset time is a time after a preset time period has passed since the time when the control signal was last sent.

[0066] The host's own thermometer and hygrometer module can determine whether the room temperature is at a comfortable temperature and automatically adjust the indoor temperature.

[0067] The adjustment instruction includes an adjustment amount, the unit adjustment value of the adjustment amount is one wind speed, N wind speeds are equal to one degree of temperature, for a target adjustment amount, the target adjustment amount includes a temperature adjustment amount and a wind speed adjustment amount less than N wind speeds, the temperature adjustment amount is greater than or equal to zero,

[0068] The first processing module is also used to determine whether a control instruction is received after sending the adjustment instruction. If so, it is used to determine whether the difference increases after adjusting the electrical appliance according to the control instruction. If it increases, the adjustment amount in the next adjustment instruction is increased; if it decreases, the adjustment amount in the next adjustment instruction is reduced.

[0069] In this embodiment, the host has an adjustment amount for adjusting the electrical appliance, and the adjustment amount uses a wind speed as the adjustment amount.

[0070] In this embodiment, 3 wind speeds are equal to 1 degree of temperature, and the preset value is 2, that is, when the room temperature and the set temperature are greatly different, such as when the set temperature is 25, but the set temperature is 28 degrees, the difference is 3, and the adjustment amount is two wind speeds. The host automatically controls the air conditioner to increase the wind speed by two levels; if the set temperature is 23, but the set temperature is 28 degrees, the difference is 5, and the adjustment amount is four wind speeds. 3 wind speeds are equal to 1 degree of temperature. The host automatically controls the air conditioner to increase the wind speed by 1 level to set the set temperature to 22.

[0071] If the air conditioner is already at full wind speed during automatic control, the air conditioner temperature will be lowered in the ratio of 3 wind speeds equaling 1 degree of temperature.

[0072] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides an adaptive adjustment means, wherein the first processing module is further used to determine whether a control instruction is received after sending the adjustment instruction, and if so, to determine whether the difference increases after adjusting the electrical appliance according to the control instruction, and if so, to increase the adjustment amount in the next adjustment instruction, and if so, to reduce the adjustment amount in the next adjustment instruction. If the difference increases, it means that the automatic control amount is not strong enough, and the adjustment amount should be increased. If the difference decreases, it means that the adjustment force is too large, and the adjustment amount needs to be reduced.

[0073] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a method for synchronizing the temperature value of the host itself with the actual value of the air conditioner.

[0074] The host also includes a second processing module, the electrical appliance is an air conditioner,

[0075] The second processing module is used to read the actual temperature value of the thermo-hygrometer module and the control temperature value contained in the most recent control signal;

[0076] The second processing module is used to determine whether the first difference between the actual temperature value and the control temperature value is less than the target value at a preset time. If so, determine whether the second difference between the actual temperature value and the control temperature value is the same as the first difference after a first preset time period. If different, modify the most recent control temperature value according to the first difference and the second difference so that the difference between the actual temperature value and the control temperature value is equal to the first difference.

[0077] This synchronizes the appliance value and the controlled temperature value after the user controls the appliance using the appliance's own remote control.
