[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0038] The following is combined with Figures 1-4 The present invention describes a network control method, apparatus, air conditioner, and electronic equipment for an air conditioning indoor unit system.

[0039] It should be noted that the air conditioner in the embodiments of the present invention can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner, or a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, etc., and there is no limitation on the type of air conditioner here.

[0040] The executing entity of the network control method for an air conditioning indoor unit system in this embodiment of the invention can be a controller. Of course, in some embodiments, the executing entity of the network control method for an air conditioning indoor unit system in this embodiment of the invention can also be a server. There is no limitation on the executing entity here. The following description uses a controller as an example to illustrate the network control method for an air conditioning indoor unit system in this embodiment of the invention.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 The network control method for an air conditioning indoor unit system provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 110: Perform a network search using the network device installed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the process of setting up network devices for the indoor unit of the air conditioner to search for networks is performed when the air conditioner is powered on for the first time. This can be regarded as equivalent to the process of a router dialing up and connecting.

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the network device is set in the system module of the air conditioner indoor unit, which can be regarded as attaching the router's function to the network device, that is, adding the router's function to the air conditioner.

[0045] It should be further explained that the network device in this embodiment has the functions of signal transmission and signal reception, and can directly transmit signals and data with the air conditioning system and the user terminal (remote control device).

[0046] Step 120: Based on the results of the network search, establish a communication connection between the network device and the air conditioning indoor unit system.

[0047] Specifically, this embodiment describes the process of establishing a communication connection between the network device and the indoor air conditioning unit system after the network device detects a network signal. This can be viewed as the connection established between the router and the broadband after successfully dialing up and obtaining user account, password, gateway, DNS, and other data.

[0048] It should be noted that the network device in this embodiment is different from the wired connection made by a conventional router; instead, it establishes a wireless connection with the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0049] Step 130: Establish a communication connection between the user terminal and the network device, and enable data transmission between the user terminal and the air conditioning indoor unit system through the network device.

[0050] Specifically, this embodiment describes the process of establishing a connection between the user terminal and the network device after the network device and the air conditioning system have established a communication connection. Similarly, the process of establishing a connection between the user terminal and the network device in this embodiment can be viewed as the process of the user establishing a connection between their mobile device and the router.

[0051] After establishing communication connections between the air conditioning indoor unit system and the user terminal and the network device, signal interaction between the user terminal and the air conditioning indoor unit system can be achieved through the signal sending and receiving functions of the network device.

[0052] Since the network device in this embodiment is located inside the indoor unit of the air conditioner, it is equivalent to the air conditioner having built-in network functionality. Therefore, in the usage scenarios of the air conditioner (mostly in user rooms), there will be no situation where the network signal is poor or the network speed is slow due to the distance from the network device.

[0053] It should be noted that the network device in this embodiment can establish communication connections with multiple user terminals, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0054] The present invention provides a network control method for an air conditioning indoor unit system. This method involves performing a network search using a network device installed within the indoor unit; establishing a communication connection between the network device and the indoor unit system based on the search results; establishing a communication connection between the user terminal and the network device; and enabling data transmission between the user terminal and the indoor unit system via the network device. This invention enhances the signal strength of the network connection between the user terminal and the air conditioner by establishing a network connection between the network device, the user terminal, and the indoor unit system, thereby improving network speed. This allows users to enjoy the comfort of air conditioning while simultaneously meeting the demand for high-speed internet.

[0055] Based on the above embodiments, the step of enabling data transmission between the user terminal and the air conditioning indoor unit system via network equipment includes:

[0056] The network device receives the first control command sent by the user terminal and transmits the first control command wirelessly to the air conditioning indoor unit system for parameter control of the air conditioner.

[0057] or,

[0058] The network device sends a feedback instruction to the user terminal, which then generates a second control instruction based on the feedback instruction. The second control instruction is then wirelessly transmitted to the indoor unit system of the air conditioner for parameter control.

[0059] Specifically, this embodiment describes two different ways for the air conditioning indoor unit system to interact with the user terminal.

[0060] On the one hand, when both the air conditioning indoor unit system and the user terminal establish a communication connection with the network device, the user terminal can directly send control commands to the network device. After receiving the control commands, the network device sends them to the air conditioning indoor unit system. The air conditioning indoor unit system controls the air conditioning parameters based on the control commands, such as temperature adjustment, fan speed adjustment, humidity adjustment, or using smart functions.

[0061] On the other hand, when both the indoor air conditioning unit system and the user terminal have established communication connections with the network device, the network device can send feedback instructions to the user terminal, indicating that the air conditioner is not in its optimal operating state or is not in the user's optimal usage state, and that the user needs to adjust the air conditioner parameters. After receiving the feedback instructions from the network device, the user terminal can further generate control instructions and send them to the network device. The network device then receives the control instructions and sends them to the indoor air conditioning unit system, which then controls the air conditioning parameters based on the control instructions.

[0062] This embodiment demonstrates how the user terminal actively interacts with the air conditioner indoor unit based on the network device and passively interacts with the air conditioner indoor unit based on the feedback commands sent by the network device. This process shows how the network device strengthens the network connection between the user terminal and the air conditioner indoor unit system, making signal transmission and reception faster, thereby improving the ability to meet the user's demand for high-speed network.

[0063] Based on the above embodiments, establishing a communication connection between the network device and the air conditioning indoor unit system based on the network search results includes:

[0064] Based on the results of the network search, the wireless network is added, and a communication connection is established between the network device and the air conditioning indoor unit system through the wireless network.

[0065] Establishing a communication connection between the user terminal and the network device includes:

[0066] A connection memory password is set between the network device and the user terminal. When the air conditioner is powered on again, a communication connection is automatically established between the network device and the user terminal system based on the connection memory password.

[0067] Specifically, this embodiment provides the process of establishing connections between the network device and the air conditioning indoor unit system and the user terminal, respectively.

[0068] Before establishing a communication connection between the network device and the air conditioning indoor unit system, it is necessary to add an wireless network based on the network search results of the network device. That is, select one of the multiple network signal sources found as the target and create a network. Then, establish a communication connection between the network device and the air conditioning indoor unit system through the wireless network added to the network device.

[0069] Establishing a communication connection between network devices and user terminals requires a pre-set connection memory password. It's important to note that this connection memory password is generated the first time the air conditioner is powered on; that is, the user terminal has already saved the password used to establish the connection when the network device first connects with the network device. When the air conditioner is powered on again, the user terminal can automatically generate the new connection memory password, thus automatically establishing a communication connection with the network device.

[0070] This implementation establishes a communication connection between the network device and the air conditioning indoor unit system through network search, and automatically establishes a communication connection between the user terminal and the network device through connection memory password, thereby enabling network signal transmission between the user terminal and the air conditioning indoor unit system through the network device, enhancing network strength.

[0071] Based on the above embodiments, the network control method for an air conditioning indoor unit system provided by the present invention further includes:

[0072] The network device establishes communication connections with multiple user terminals and sends a first wireless network signal to the user terminals.

[0073] The user terminal receives the first wireless network signal, enabling the network device to provide network support through the first wireless network signal.

[0074] Specifically, this embodiment describes the process of providing network services, or network support, directly to the user terminal through network devices.

[0075] In this embodiment, a network device establishes communication connections with multiple user terminals and sends wireless network signals to each user terminal. The user terminals connect to the network by receiving the wireless network signals, thus receiving network support from the network device. In other words, the network device in this embodiment functions as a router to provide network services to the user's mobile devices.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, the step of receiving the first wireless network signal through the user terminal, enabling the network device to provide network support through the first wireless network signal, includes:

[0077] Search for second wireless network signals sent by other devices to the user terminal, and amplify the second wireless network signals through the network device to obtain an enhanced network signal;

[0078] The network device provides network support to the user terminal based on the enhanced network signal and the first network signal.

[0079] Specifically, the network device in this embodiment can also provide network services together with other network-providing devices. In other words, in addition to having router functions, the network device in this embodiment also has the function of WiFi signal amplifier.

[0080] By searching for wireless network signals from other devices (routers), the signal is enhanced and amplified. Then, combined with the wireless network signal provided by the network device itself, multiple network signals are used to provide network services to the user's mobile devices. This further improves the network signal, making the network signal transmission between the user and the air conditioning indoor unit system faster and more convenient.

[0081] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The main flowchart of the network control method for an air conditioning indoor unit system provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0082] Step 210: Power on the air conditioner for the first time;

[0083] Step 220: The network device begins searching for networks;

[0084] Step 230: Complete the addition of the network;

[0085] Step 240: Remember the password; the device will automatically connect and operate when powered on.

[0086] The following describes the air conditioning indoor unit system network control device provided by the present invention. The air conditioning indoor unit system network control device described below and the air conditioning indoor unit system network control method described above can be referred to in correspondence.

[0087] Reference Figure 3 The present invention provides a network control device for an air conditioning indoor unit system, comprising:

[0088] The search module 310 is used to perform network searches through network devices installed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0089] Specifically, the function of the search module in this embodiment is to perform a network search on the network devices connected to the indoor unit of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is powered on for the first time, which can be regarded as equivalent to the process of dialing up and connecting a router.

[0090] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the network device is set in the system module of the air conditioner indoor unit, which can be regarded as attaching the router's function to the network device, that is, adding the router's function to the air conditioner.

[0091] It should be further explained that the network device in this embodiment has the functions of signal transmission and signal reception, and can directly transmit signals and data with the air conditioning system and the user terminal (remote control device).

[0092] The connection module 320 is used to establish a communication connection between the network device and the air conditioning indoor unit system based on the results of the network search.

[0093] Specifically, the function of the connection module in this embodiment is to establish a communication connection between the network device and the air conditioning indoor unit system after the network device detects the network signal. This can be viewed as the connection established between the router and the broadband after the router successfully dials up and obtains user account, password, gateway, DNS, and other data.

[0094] It should be noted that the network device in this embodiment is different from the wired connection made by a conventional router; instead, it establishes a wireless connection with the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0095] The interaction module 330 is used to establish a communication connection between the user terminal and the network device, and to enable data transmission between the user terminal and the air conditioning indoor unit system through the network device.

[0096] Specifically, the function of the interaction module in this embodiment is to establish a connection between the user terminal and the network device after the network device and the air conditioning system have established a communication connection. Similarly, the process of establishing a connection between the user terminal and the network device in this embodiment can be regarded as the process of the user establishing a connection between the mobile device and the router.

[0097] After establishing communication connections between the air conditioning indoor unit system and the user terminal and the network device, signal interaction between the user terminal and the air conditioning indoor unit system can be achieved through the signal sending and receiving functions of the network device.

[0098] Since the network device in this embodiment is located inside the indoor unit of the air conditioner, it is equivalent to the air conditioner having built-in network functionality. Therefore, in the usage scenarios of the air conditioner (mostly in user rooms), there will be no situation where the network signal is poor or the network speed is slow due to the distance from the network device.
