[0002] In order to improve the comfort of the indoor environment, air conditioners are usually installed in homes to adjust the temperature and humidity of the indoor environment; in addition, frequent ventilation of the indoor environment is also an important way to improve the comfort of the indoor environment. However, the best time to open windows for ventilation is usually during the day. Based on the modern lifestyle of people going out early and returning late, people are usually not at home during the day.

[0044] By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, weather information is obtained, and then the trend of outdoor environmental changes is determined based on the weather information, and then a target ventilation plan suitable for the trend of outdoor environmental changes is obtained; in this way, different ventilation plans are executed based on different trends of outdoor environmental changes, which can not only solve the problem of ventilation volume limitation only by air conditioning ventilation, but also solve the problem of difficulty in maintaining indoor environmental hygiene due to doors and windows being often open, thereby effectively solving the problems caused by only adopting a single ventilation method, and through the linkage and cooperation of smart doors and windows and air conditioners, users are provided with operational convenience in indoor ventilation, which can not only meet the user's ventilation needs for the indoor environment, but also better maintain the hygiene of the indoor environment, thereby improving the comfort of users in indoor activities.

[0060] S24. Determine the change trend of the parameter value of the target parameter type in the associated time period according to the comparison result.

[0061] By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, based on the comparison result of the parameter value of the target parameter type in each sub-period within the associated time period with the parameter value of the target parameter type at the current moment, the change trend of the parameter value of the target parameter type in the associated time period is determined; and then the target ventilation scheme suitable for the outdoor environmental change trend is obtained; in this way, different ventilation schemes are executed based on different outdoor environmental change trends, which can not only solve the problem of ventilation volume limitation only through air-conditioning ventilation, but also solve the problem that the indoor environment does not meet the user's expectations due to the doors and windows being often open, thereby effectively solving the problems caused by only adopting a single ventilation method, and providing users with operational convenience in indoor ventilation through the linkage cooperation of smart doors and windows and air conditioners, which can not only ensure the user's ventilation needs for the indoor environment, but also better maintain the environmental parameter targets and sanitary conditions of the indoor environment, thereby improving the comfort of users in indoor activities.

[0063] Optionally, according to the changing trend of the air quality index level in the associated time period, the target ventilation mode and target ventilation time of the target ventilation scheme are determined, including: when the air quality index level at the current moment meets the preset index level and the air quality index level at any detection moment in the associated time period meets the preset index level, determining the target ventilation scheme as opening the smart doors and windows for ventilation at the first preset time and continuing for a first preset time; when the air quality index level at the current moment meets the preset index level and there is at least one moment in the associated time period when the air quality index level does not meet the preset index level, determining the target ventilation scheme as opening the smart doors and windows for ventilation at the second preset time and continuing for a first preset time; when the air quality index level at the current moment does not meet the preset index level and there is at least one moment in the associated time period when the air quality index level does not meet the preset index level, determining the target ventilation scheme as opening the fresh air ventilation function of the air conditioner at the first preset time and continuing for a second preset time; wherein the first preset time is less than the second preset time.

[0064] In this way, different ventilation schemes determined based on the changing trend of the air quality index level during the associated time period can not only solve the problem of ventilation volume limitation only through air conditioning ventilation, but also solve the problem that the indoor environment does not meet user expectations due to the doors and windows being often open, thereby effectively solving the problems caused by only adopting a single ventilation method. Through the linkage and cooperation of smart doors and windows and air conditioners, users are provided with operational convenience in indoor ventilation and air exchange, which can not only guarantee the user's ventilation needs for the indoor environment, but also better maintain the environmental parameter targets and sanitary conditions of the indoor environment, thereby improving the comfort of users in indoor activities.

[0065] Optionally, the target parameter type is determined in the following manner: obtaining a season information library, which stores multiple season types, wherein each season type has a corresponding priority associated parameter; from the season information library, determining the target parameter type as a priority environmental parameter corresponding to the current season type.

[0067] S31. Obtain a season information database, where the season information database stores multiple season types.

[0068] S32. Determine from the season information library that the target parameter type is a priority environmental parameter corresponding to the current season type.

[0069] By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target parameter type that meets the current season type is determined from the season information library, and the change trend of the target parameter type in the associated time period is analyzed, so as to obtain a target ventilation plan suitable for the outdoor environmental change trend; in this way, different ventilation plans are executed based on different outdoor environmental change trends, which can not only solve the problem of ventilation volume limitation only through air-conditioning ventilation, but also solve the problem that the indoor environment does not meet the user's expectations due to the doors and windows being often open, thereby effectively solving the problems caused by only adopting a single ventilation method, and providing users with operational convenience in indoor ventilation through the linkage cooperation of smart doors and windows and air conditioners, which can not only guarantee the user's ventilation needs for the indoor environment, but also better maintain the environmental parameter targets and sanitary conditions of the indoor environment, thereby improving the comfort of users in indoor activities.

[0070] Optionally, when the target ventilation plan includes opening smart doors and windows, controlling the air conditioner and / or smart doors and windows to execute the target ventilation plan, including: when it is determined that there is a user in the indoor environment, issuing a confirmation request to the user to open the smart doors and windows; and opening the smart doors and windows upon receiving confirmation feedback submitted by the user.
