The migration event activity matrix is ​​used to evaluate the priority level of the trigger event, so as to realize the management of multiple synchronous trigger events.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for managing the functional mode state of a vehicle air-conditioning controller is disclosed. In order to meet the needs of frequent migration of different functional mode states in the vehicle air-conditioning controller and to manage the subsequent expansion of new functional mode states, a multidimensional finite mode state migration event table corresponding to the functional mode state of the air-conditioning controller and the triggering event is constructed, including a state migration event matrix, a priority level matrix of the triggering event at that time, a mode state migration time matrix, a next jump mode state matrix and a modal behavior matrix. Four dominant modal behaviors are introduced to manage the functional mode state, and multiple synchronous triggering events are effectively managed through priorities.

[0007] The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0008] S1: First, classify the function items of the air conditioner controller into N function mode states, where N is a positive integer; second, classify the trigger events of the air conditioner controller into M trigger event categories;

[0009] S2: Construct a multi-dimensional finite mode state transition event table corresponding to the function mode states and trigger events of the air conditioner controller, and then enumerate the mode state transition events generated by the trigger events corresponding to each function mode state in the state transition event table to form a mode state transition event matrix, a trigger event priority level matrix, a mode state transition time matrix, a next jump mode state matrix, and a modal behavior matrix. At the same time, introduce four dominant modal behaviors to manage the function mode state transition, and expand several custom modal behaviors.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S1, the N function mode states include the air conditioner off state, the air conditioner manual state, the air conditioner automatic state, the air conditioner maximum heating state, and the air conditioner maximum cooling state, etc.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, when classifying the function items of the air conditioner controller, it specifically includes: determining R main function mode states according to the priority of the function mode states; the R function mode states are respectively the air conditioner off state OFF, the air conditioner manual state Manual, the air conditioner automatic state Auto, the air conditioner maximum heating state Max PTC, and the air conditioner maximum cooling state Max AC, etc., and N - R secondary function mode states, where R is a positive integer.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S1, the M trigger event categories include: cyclic button event, mode button event, A / C button event, defrost button event, Auto button event, air volume Dec button event, air volume Add event, temperature Add button event, and temperature Dec button event, etc.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S1, when classifying the trigger events of the air conditioner controller, it specifically includes: dividing them into H main trigger events according to the trigger event priority, where H < N < M and M is a positive integer; the H main trigger events are respectively the cyclic button event, the mode button event, the A / C button event, the defrost button event, the Auto button event, the air volume Dec button event, the air volume Add event, the temperature Add button event, and the temperature Dec button event, etc., and M - H extended secondary trigger events.

[0014] Furthermore, step S2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0019]

[0020] S23: enumerate the priority levels of the trigger events in the mode state transition event matrix E, that is, construct the priority level matrix W of the trigger events, which is expressed as:

Modal behavior F2 is executed multiple times when the functional mode state does not change, and modal behavior F3 is executed once immediately after the functional mode state is migrated. The remaining Q-4 custom modal behaviors (F5, ..., F Q )∈F is executed according to the preset conditions according to the actual application requirements;

[0029] S27: According to the l synchronization triggering events and the priority levels they occupy, a mode state transition event sequence E arranged in descending order of priority is obtained. τ =(E τ1 ... E τl );

[0031] S29: After the functional mode state transition is completed, the modal behavior F3 is immediately executed once, and the modal behavior F2 corresponding to the current functional mode state is cyclically executed, so as to realize the effective management of the functional mode state of the vehicle air conditioning controller.

[0032] Further, step S23 specifically includes the following steps:
