[0002] Against the backdrop of the development of big data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, combined with contemporary Internet technology, more and more intelligent ways of making household appliances emerge.

[0003] Some household appliances need to be debugged before users can use them normally. Taking air conditioners as an example, the debugging method is: the installer installs the air conditioning pipes and circuits; the unit is powered on, the debugging software and debugger are connected to the unit, and the debugging is started. The unit automatically configures the parameters; after the debugging software is debugged, the unit may not be able to reach the optimal state, and the installer needs to check the parameters again; sometimes problems will occur during the debugging process, and the unit needs to be repaired.

[0004] Based on the above debugging method, there are cases where the installer will run away before the unit reaches optimal condition due to incomplete debugging. This leads to uncontrolled debugging quality and makes subsequent unit failures more likely. There are even cases where debugging is not performed because the debugging software can skip the debugging, and then the unit needs to be repaired. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent that the embodiments described are only some, not all, of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] An embodiment of the present invention provides a debugging method that can be applied to debugging a device. The method can be executed by a debugging terminal, for example, a handheld smart terminal such as a mobile phone or tablet computer installed with a debugging application (also called a debugging APP or debugging software), or a terminal specifically used for debugging. Figure 1 is a flowchart of the debugging method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0031] S101 , in response to a debugging instruction, automatically debugging the device item by item according to a preset debugging sequence, wherein, after the current item is debugged successfully, the next item is debugged.

[0032] S102, displaying debugging information in real time.

[0033] A debugging command can be a command entered by the debugger through the debug terminal to start debugging. For example, by clicking the debug button on the debug terminal's touchscreen or pressing the "Start Debugging" physical button on the debug terminal. Device debugging involves many debugging items. The debugging sequence for each item can be pre-set to facilitate automatic debugging. Specifically, the debugging sequence can be set based on the relationships between the debugging items. For example, the preset debugging sequence for air conditioning equipment includes: determining master unit settings; address assignment; confirming the number of outdoor units; confirming the number of indoor units; checking internal communication and capacity ratios for outdoor units; checking outdoor unit components; checking indoor unit components; confirming compressor preheating; determining refrigerant availability before startup; cooling commissioning; heating commissioning; and determining whether the oF (standby state) flag is valid. If valid, debugging is complete. Debugging information records the debugging process, including debugging parameters, progress, results, and any issues encountered for each item. During the debugging process, real-time debugging information is displayed, allowing the debugger to view the progress, results, and any issues encountered for each item, enabling timely monitoring of the debugging progress.

[0034] The debugging method of the present invention responds to debugging instructions and automatically debugs the device item by item in a preset debugging sequence. Once the current item is debugged successfully, the device proceeds to the next item. This facilitates debugging and prevents debuggers from arbitrarily skipping debugging items, ensuring the quality of device debugging and significantly reducing the likelihood of subsequent failures due to inadequate debugging. Real-time display of debugging information makes the debugging process transparent, facilitating timely understanding and monitoring of debugging progress.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes uploading debugging information for each debugging item to a cloud control center for storage in real time during the automatic debugging process, item by item, according to a preset debugging sequence. Specifically, the cloud control center may store the device debugging information and the corresponding debugging personnel. This embodiment uploads the device debugging information to the cloud control center for storage and backup, enabling third-party participation and oversight of the debugging process, ensuring transparency and further guaranteeing debugging quality. Furthermore, debugging methods and processes can be subsequently optimized based on the stored debugging information.

[0036] If a fault or other problem occurs during the debugging process, the debugging information stored in the cloud control center can be used to analyze the cause of the fault and resolve it. Specifically, the above method also includes: if a problem occurs during the debugging process, reporting the problem to the cloud control center; receiving the cause and / or solution from the cloud control center, wherein the cause and / or solution are determined by the cloud control center based on the stored debugging information of the device and the problem; and displaying the cause and / or solution. This embodiment uses the debugging information stored in the cloud control center to promptly determine the cause of the problem during the debugging process, provide a solution, and prompt the debugging personnel through the debugging terminal to ensure smooth completion of the debugging and achieve the optimal state of the unit.

[0037] Before debugging begins, the debugging terminal must establish a connection with the device and unlock it. The following describes the connection and unlocking process.

[0038] Before automatically debugging the device item by item in a preset debugging sequence in response to a debugging instruction, the method further includes: scanning identification information on the device to obtain connection verification information; and establishing a connection with the device's communication module based on the connection verification information. The identification information on the device can be a QR code, for example, affixed to the device's wired controller. The identification information contains information enabling a connection to be established with the device's communication module, i.e., the connection verification information. This embodiment enables rapid establishment of a connection between the debugging terminal and the device through scanning.

[0039] Before scanning the identification information on the device, the method further includes: receiving login information of a debugger; upon successful login, initiating a scanning function, and uploading the currently logged-in debugger's information to the cloud control center. The login information may be an account number and password previously registered by the debugger. The cloud control center may authenticate the debugger using the login information uploaded by the debugger terminal, and login is successful if the authentication passes. The currently logged-in debugger's information may include: personnel identification information (such as name, work number, and branch company), the personnel's jurisdiction, and the debugger's current location information.

[0040] In this implementation, the debugging personnel activates the scanning function to establish a connection with the device only after they have successfully logged in to the debugging terminal. This prevents unauthorized personnel from randomly scanning the identification information on the device, which could lead to information leakage and security risks. After successful login, the currently logged-in debugging personnel's information is uploaded to the cloud control center, which can then establish an association between the debugging personnel and the device to be unlocked, thereby successfully unlocking the device.

[0041] In addition, the login information can also include: the unique identifier of the debugging terminal currently in use, which is compared with the unique identifier of the debugging terminal used by the debugger when registering. If the identifiers are consistent, the login is considered successful. This can ensure that legitimate debuggers use their own terminals and accounts for debugging, prevent unauthorized illegal personnel from participating in debugging, and further ensure the quality of debugging.

[0042] After establishing a connection with the communication module of the device based on the connection verification information, the method further includes: sending an unlock code to the device so that the device uploads the unlock code to a cloud control center for verification; receiving a verification success message issued by the cloud control center to determine that the device has been successfully unlocked; wherein the cloud control center performs a relationship match based on the jurisdiction of the debugger, the debugger's current location information, and the current location information of the device, and sends the verification success message if the location relationship match is successful and the unlock code verification is successful, wherein the current location information of the device is uploaded to the cloud control center by the communication module of the device when it is powered on for the first time. In fact, when the communication module of the device is powered on for the first time, the device information can be uploaded to the cloud control center, and the cloud control center will mark the device as a device to be unlocked. The device information may include: a unique device identifier, current location information, etc.

[0043] In this implementation, the cloud control center matches the debugger's unlocking relationship with the device based on location information and verifies the unlocking relationship based on the activation code, thereby achieving device verification unlocking. Specifically, if the debugger's location information matches the device's location information and is within the debugger's jurisdiction, the unlocking relationship is successfully matched, indicating that the debugger is legal and qualified to unlock the device, ensuring that the debugger can only unlock devices within their jurisdiction. Furthermore, if the unlocking code forwarded by the debug terminal through the device is consistent with the unlocking code of the device stored locally in the cloud control center, the device can be successfully unlocked. This ensures secure unlocking of the device and prevents unauthorized personnel from unlocking and debugging.

[0044] After establishing a connection and unlocking the device, the debugger can view information about each connected and unlocked device through the debug terminal. Preferably, the debug terminal can modify the name of each connected device based on the information entered by the debugger. For example, modifying the name to "outdoor unit on the east side of the roof" based on the installation location makes it easier for the debugger to view the information in the debug terminal accurately, ensuring accurate correspondence between the information in the debug terminal and the actual device, preventing misplacement of the outdoor unit.

[0045] Preferably, the communication module of the device is a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module can use near-field communication, such as Bluetooth, WiFi, ZigBee, NFC, etc. In addition, the device can also communicate with the cloud control center using a wireless communication module, for example, the wireless communication module is provided with a long-range wireless communication component (such as a cellular network). Wireless debugging based on the wireless communication module is more flexible and not limited by space.

[0046] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a debugging device that can be used to implement the debugging method described in the above embodiment. The device can be implemented through software and / or hardware and can generally be integrated into a debugging terminal.

[0064] The communication module of the device is a wireless communication module.

[0065] The above device can execute the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and has the functional modules and beneficial effects corresponding to the execution method. For technical details not fully described in this embodiment, please refer to the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a debugging system, referring to Figure 3 The debugging system includes: a debugging terminal 10, a device 20 and a cloud control center 30. The cloud control center can be a server.

[0071] The above system can execute the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and has the functional modules and beneficial effects corresponding to the execution method. For technical details not fully described in this embodiment, please refer to the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

[0072] The following combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The above debugging scheme is described. However, it should be noted that this specific embodiment is only for better illustrating the present application and does not constitute an improper limitation on the present application. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Taking air conditioning equipment as an example, the communication module of the air conditioning equipment is Bluetooth DTU 23, and the debugging terminal is a mobile phone 10 (specifically, the debugging software installed on the mobile phone is used for connection, unlocking and debugging).

[0073] The air conditioning unit has been installed and entered the debugging stage.

[0074] The debugger downloads the debugging software on the mobile phone and registers. The registration process realizes information binding. Specifically, the debugger information is bound to the mobile phone information used for registration.

[0075] During the unit matching phase, the unit's outdoor unit is equipped with a Bluetooth-enabled DTU module. The unit is paired with the mobile app by scanning the QR code on the wired controller in the debugging software. After matching, the backend performs an internal network layer authentication. Specifically, upon initial power-up, the Bluetooth DTU uploads unit information to the cloud control center. The cloud control center automatically unlocks the unit based on the unlock code after establishing a connection between the uploaded unit information and the debugging personnel's information. The air conditioner must be debugged before use, and unlocked during the debugging process.

[0076] The debugging phase is a step-by-step debugging phase. The debugging software is automated and all debugging is performed in the debugging software. Only when the debugging is qualified in each step can the next step be performed.

[0077] The debugger opens the mobile app, clicks on debug, and then waits for the debugging results. Any problems encountered during the debugging process will be reflected in the software in detail. The specific debugging logic includes: determining the master unit settings; address allocation; confirming the number of outdoor units; confirming the number of indoor units; checking internal communication and capacity ratio of outdoor units; checking outdoor unit components; checking indoor unit components; confirming compressor preheating; determining the refrigerant before starting; cooling commissioning; heating commissioning; and determining whether the oF flag is valid. If it is, debugging is complete.

[0078] The debugging software allows users to monitor the progress of each debugging step and any issues encountered during the debugging process. Each debugging step performed by the wireless debugging software is recorded and uploaded to the cloud control center. The cloud control center collects and records the details of the current unit's debugging information and, combined with the debugging personnel's information from the internal network layer verification, completes the entire debugging information. If a problem arises during the debugging process, the cloud control center analyzes the issue based on the uploaded data and provides the cause and / or solution to the on-site debugging personnel via the debugging software. This pioneers a unit installation and debugging method that allows for wireless debugging and maintenance. This addresses the root causes of the unit installation and debugging phase, significantly reducing the risk of subsequent failures due to inadequate debugging, ensuring debugging quality, and addressing the existing complex, time-consuming, and opaque debugging process.

[0079] The above debugging solution implements the cloud debugging mechanism, collects and improves the unit debugging information through the dual sources of DTU and APP, and uses this information to control the unit.

[0080] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon. When the program is executed by a processor, the debugging method described in the above embodiment is implemented.

[0081] An embodiment of the present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can implement the debugging method described in the above embodiment.

[0082] The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separate, and the components shown as units may or may not be physical units, that is, they may be located in one place or distributed across multiple network units. Some or all of the modules may be selected based on actual needs to achieve the objectives of this embodiment.
