[0045] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0046] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure list multiple implementation methods to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the multiple embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed separately, or can be executed together with the methods of other embodiments of the embodiments of the present disclosure, or can be executed together with some methods in other related technologies separately or in combination; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0047] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in relevant application scenarios are described below:

[0048] In one embodiment, the air conditioner firmware needs to be upgraded OTA, and the program running space of the controller needs to be partitioned. Generally, there are two partitioning methods:

[0049] In one embodiment, the program running space is divided into three areas: boot area, user1 area and user2 area. Among them, user1 area and user2 area are mainly used to store firmware such as the functional logic and operating parameters of the air conditioner, and they serve as backup for each other; the boot area is mainly used for MCU startup boot, OTA upgrade judgment, firmware package flashing into the user area, and data copying in user1 and user2 areas. This scheme has two user areas of the same size. During OTA upgrade, the firmware package will be flashed into one of the user areas. After the flashed data is verified, the firmware upgrade effect is achieved by copying the data or switching the user running area. This scheme is hereinafter referred to as the OTA scheme with backup. In this embodiment, the advantage is that since the data is backed up, the air conditioner will not be able to run the program normally due to firmware package damage, OTA interruption, etc. The disadvantage of this embodiment is that the firmware package of the same size occupies twice the space in the MCU storage area, which increases the chip cost.

[0050] In one embodiment, it is divided into two areas, namely the boot area and the user area. Among them, the user area is mainly used to store firmware such as the functional logic and operating parameters of the air conditioner; the boot area is mainly used for the startup and booting of the MCU, the judgment of OTA upgrade, and the flashing of the firmware package into the user area. In this scheme, when OTA is used, the program will first jump to the boot to execute, obtain the firmware package from the Internet of Things module in the boot, and directly flash it into the user area. This scheme is hereinafter referred to as the OTA scheme without a backup area. The advantages of this embodiment are: the user area does not require a backup area, the MCU storage area has a small space, and the chip cost is low. The disadvantage of this embodiment is: due to the lack of a backup area, in the case of damage to the firmware package, OTA interruption, etc., the air conditioner cannot execute normal functional programs, and needs to be re-OTA upgraded, and can only resume operation after success.

[0051] As the functions of air conditioners become more and more advanced driven by the market, the chip space occupied by the program is getting larger and larger. The fierce competition in the market requires cost factors to be considered when designing air conditioners. Therefore, more and more air conditioners use OTA solutions without backup areas. This technical solution combines the advantages of OTA solutions with and without backup areas, optimizes the control solution when abnormalities such as firmware package damage and OTA interruption occur, so that the air conditioner can maintain its operating ability.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for controlling an air conditioner is provided, the method comprising:

[0053] Step 11, performing integrity check on the data in the first storage area for executing a predetermined function to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes a function of controlling the air conditioner to perform cooling and / or heating;

[0054] Step 12: Based on the verification result, determine the storage area of ​​the air conditioner for performing the predetermined function from the candidate storage areas; wherein the candidate storage areas include the first storage area and the second storage area;

[0055] Step 13: In response to running the predetermined function in the second storage area, output an upgrade request; wherein the upgrade request is used to request an update of the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function.

[0056] In one embodiment, the air conditioner may be provided with a plurality of storage areas. Exemplarily, the plurality of storage areas may include a first storage area, a second storage area, and a third storage area. Among them, the first storage area may be a user area, the second storage area may be an emergeRUN area, and the third storage area may be a boot area. The first storage area and the second storage area may be used to store running program data for executing predetermined functions. The third storage area is used to store functions such as execution of startup boot, determination of OTA upgrade, and selection of alternative storage areas. It should be noted that the storage space of the plurality of storage areas may be less than the storage space threshold.

[0057] In one embodiment, the integrity check of the data used to perform the predetermined function in the first storage area may be to check whether the data is incomplete and / or whether the data is damaged. If it is determined after the integrity check that the data is incomplete and / or the data is damaged, the check result may be that the integrity check fails; or, if it is determined after the integrity check that the data is complete and the data is not damaged, the check result may be that the integrity check passes.

[0058] In one embodiment, an integrity check is performed on data in a first storage area for executing a predetermined function to obtain a check result; wherein, the predetermined function includes a function of controlling the air conditioner to execute cooling and / or heating; based on the check result, a storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from an alternative storage area; wherein, the alternative storage area includes the first storage area and a second storage area; in response to the check result being passed, the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area to be the first storage area; in response to determining that the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is the first storage area, the predetermined function is run in the first storage area.

[0059] In one embodiment, the storage space of the first storage area is larger than the space of the second storage area.

[0060] In one embodiment, the storage space of the second storage area is determined according to the data of the predetermined function after function reduction.

[0061] In one embodiment, the size of the storage space of the second storage area is within a predetermined range. Exemplarily, the storage space of the second storage area is x, then a≤x≤b, a and b may be predetermined, and exemplarily, x may be 40Kbytes.

[0062] In one embodiment, the sum of the storage spaces of the first storage area and the second storage area is less than a predetermined value.

[0063] In one embodiment, the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function is checked for integrity to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes the function of controlling the air conditioner to execute cooling and / or heating; based on the check result, the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area; wherein the alternative storage area includes the first storage area and the second storage area; in response to the check result being passed, the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area to be the first storage area; in response to determining that the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is the first storage area, the predetermined function is run in the first storage area; wherein the predetermined function corresponding to the data in the second storage area for executing the predetermined function is the predetermined function corresponding to the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function after being reduced. It can be understood that the predetermined function corresponding to the data in the second storage area for executing the predetermined function is the basic function of the predetermined function corresponding to the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function. In one embodiment, the capacity of the data in the second storage area for executing the predetermined function is less than the capacity of the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function.

[0064] In one embodiment, the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function is checked for integrity to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes the function of controlling the air conditioner to perform cooling and / or heating; based on the check result, the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area; wherein the alternative storage area includes the first storage area and the second storage area; in response to the check result not passing, the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area to be the second storage area; in response to determining that the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is the second storage area, the predetermined function is run in the second storage area; in response to running the predetermined function in the second storage area, an upgrade request is output; wherein the upgrade request is used to request to update the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function. Exemplarily, outputting the upgrade request may be displaying the information of the upgrade request in the display area to prompt the user to update. Here, the display area may be the display of the air conditioner. It should be noted that the update may be an OTA-based update.

[0065] In one embodiment, the data for executing the predetermined function in the first storage area is checked for integrity to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes the function of controlling the air conditioner to perform cooling and / or heating; based on the check result, the storage area for the air conditioner to execute the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area; wherein the alternative storage area includes the first storage area and the second storage area; in response to the check result not passing, the storage area for the air conditioner to execute the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area to be the second storage area; in response to determining that the storage area for the air conditioner to execute the predetermined function is the second storage area, the predetermined function is executed in the second storage area; in response to executing the predetermined function in the second storage area, an upgrade request is sent to the terminal; wherein the upgrade request is used to request to update the data for executing the predetermined function in the first storage area. After receiving the upgrade request, the terminal displays the upgrade request information in the display area of ​​the terminal to prompt the user to update. Here, the display area can be the display screen of the terminal. In one embodiment, it can be that after receiving the upgrade request, the application function of the terminal displays the upgrade request information in the display area of ​​the terminal to prompt the user to update.

[0066] In one embodiment, in response to the air conditioner running in the third storage area, the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function is integrity checked to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes the function of controlling the air conditioner to perform cooling and / or heating; based on the check result, the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area; wherein the alternative storage area includes the first storage area and the second storage area; in response to running the predetermined function in the second storage area, an upgrade request is output; wherein the upgrade request is used to request an update of the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function.

[0067] For example, see Figure 2 , in response to the air conditioner running in the boot area, performing integrity check on the data in the user area for executing the predetermined function to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes the function of controlling the air conditioner to perform cooling and / or heating; based on the check result, determining the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function from the alternative storage area; wherein the alternative storage area includes the user area and the emergRun area; in response to running the predetermined function in the emergRun area, outputting an upgrade request; wherein the upgrade request is used to request to update the data in the emergRun storage area for executing the predetermined function.

[0068] In one embodiment, in response to the air conditioner running in the third storage area, it switches to running in the first storage area; after switching to running in the first storage area, the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function is checked for integrity to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes the function of controlling the air conditioner to execute cooling and / or heating; based on the check result, the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area; wherein the alternative storage area includes the first storage area and the second storage area; in response to running the predetermined function in the second storage area, an upgrade request is output; wherein the upgrade request is used to request to update the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function.

[0069] For example, see Figure 3, in response to the air conditioner running in the boot area, switching to running in the user area; after switching to running in the emergeRun area, performing integrity check on the data in the user area for executing the predetermined function to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes the function of controlling the air conditioner to perform cooling and / or heating; based on the check result, determining the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function from the alternative storage area; wherein the alternative storage area includes the user area and the emergRun area; in response to running the predetermined function in the emergRun area, outputting an upgrade request; wherein the upgrade request is used to request to update the data in the user area for executing the predetermined function.

[0070] In one embodiment, an integrity check is performed on data in a first storage area for executing a predetermined function to obtain a check result; wherein, the predetermined function includes a function of controlling the air conditioner to execute cooling and / or heating; in response to the check result passing, the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area to be the first storage area; or, in response to the check result failing, the storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area to be the second storage area; in response to running the predetermined function in the second storage area, an upgrade request is output; wherein, the upgrade request is used to request an update of the data in the first storage area for executing the predetermined function.

[0071] In one embodiment, an integrity check is performed on data in a first storage area for executing a predetermined function to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes a function of controlling the air conditioner to execute cooling and / or heating; in response to the check result passing, determining from the alternative storage area that the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is the first storage area; or, in response to the check result failing, determining from the alternative storage area that the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is the second storage area; in response to determining that the storage area where the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is the first storage area, running the predetermined function in the first storage area; or, in response to determining that the storage area where the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is the second storage area, running the predetermined function in the second storage area.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an integrity check is performed on the data for executing a predetermined function in the first storage area to obtain a check result; wherein the predetermined function includes a function of controlling the air conditioner to execute cooling and / or heating; based on the check result, a storage area in which the air conditioner executes the predetermined function is determined from the alternative storage area; wherein the alternative storage area includes the first storage area and the second storage area; in this way, the air conditioner can determine whether the predetermined function is executed in the first storage area or the second storage area. In response to running the predetermined function in the second storage area, an upgrade request is output; wherein the upgrade request is used to request to update the data for executing the predetermined function in the first storage area. In this way, when the integrity check fails, the air conditioner can output an upgrade request without interrupting operation, requesting to update the data for executing the predetermined function in the first storage area. Compared with the method of interrupting the operation of the air conditioner during the update, the normal operation of the air conditioner can be continued to be ensured, thereby improving the user experience.
