Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Rather, the words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are intended to present the relevant concept in a specific manner.

[0046] With the continuous development of science and technology, smart home is becoming more and more popular in daily life. The air conditioner group can be more convenient for users to control through network configuration, for example, users can directly control the group of air conditioner systems that have been configured on the mobile terminal, so that the control is more convenient.

[0047] In the existing network configuration method, the AP network configuration cost is low, but the network configuration search time is long, and the success rate is low; the Bluetooth auxiliary network configuration operation steps are many, and the Bluetooth pairing also has a certain failure rate. And the existing network configuration method cannot meet the needs of the air conditioner group to quickly configure the network.

[0048] Based on the above, the embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner system and a control method thereof. The air conditioner device with a short-range wireless communication module in the air conditioner system can communicate with the mobile terminal with a short-range wireless communication module, obtain the network configuration information transmitted by the mobile terminal, so as to realize automatic and convenient network configuration of the air conditioner device, and the network configuration success rate is high. And through the wired communication mechanism of the air conditioner system itself, the network configuration information can be broadcasted, so that all air conditioner devices in the air conditioner bus of the air conditioner system can be connected to the network at the same time, without the user configuring the network one by one, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0049] Figure 1The system architecture schematic diagram of the air conditioning system 11 provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the air conditioning system 11 includes an air conditioning bus 100, and controllers of a plurality of air conditioning devices, such as a controller 101, a controller 102, a controller 103, a controller 104, and the like. Each controller includes a micro control module 201, and in some embodiments, the controller can also include a near field wireless communication module, for example, the controller 101 includes a near field wireless communication module 202. Figure 1

[0050] The air conditioning bus 100 is used to connect each air conditioning device of the air conditioning system 11, and when one air conditioning device acquires the network configuration information, the configuration information can be broadcast through the air conditioning bus 100, so that all air conditioning devices in the air conditioning system 11 simultaneously access the network.

[0051] In some embodiments, the near field wireless communication module 202 can be a near field communication (NFC) module. In the case that the air conditioning device is provided with the NFC module, the air conditioning device and the mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone, a smart watch, and the like) with the NFC module can exchange data when they are close to each other. For example, after the mobile terminal with the NFC module is close to the NFC module, the NFC module is woken up through the near field communication feature; the NFC module and the mobile terminal with the NFC module communicate through the NDEF format (NFC data exchange format) text under the near field communication feature.

[0052] In some embodiments, the micro control module 201 can be a micro controller unit (MCU). The data area of the micro control module 201 can pre-store the web address (Uniform Resource Locator, URL) of an application (Application, APP) for controlling the air conditioning system in the user mobile terminal, and can also pre-store the address information of other air conditioning devices and the related information of the air conditioning device directly connected thereto.

[0053] In some embodiments, after the NFC module is turned on, an instruction for calling the APP is sent to the user mobile terminal. For example, after the NFC module is turned on, the corresponding pin of the MCU is pulled high, and the URL of the App is packaged into the NDEF format and sent to the NFC module through the serial port. The NFC module sends the NDEF format URL of the App to the mobile terminal through the near field communication technology, so as to pull the App, and whether to open the App is confirmed by the user.

[0054] In some embodiments, the micro control module 201 can acquire the configuration information sent by the NFC module, and broadcast the configuration information through the air conditioning bus 100, so that all air conditioning devices in the air conditioning system 11 simultaneously access the network.​

[0055] Figure 2 An example shows a hardware configuration block diagram of an air conditioning device in the above air conditioning system.

[0056] As shown in Figure 2 , the controller of the air conditioning device can include: a micro control module 201, a near field wireless communication module 202, a wireless communication technology module 203, a Bluetooth module 204. The near field wireless communication module 202, the wireless communication technology module 203, and the Bluetooth module 204 are all connected with the micro control module 201.

[0057] In some embodiments, the wireless communication technology module 203 can be a wireless fidelity (WIFI) based module, such as a WIFI module. The WIFI module is used to realize the networking of the air conditioning system 11 according to the network configuration information of the user. Illustratively, the micro control module 201 can send an NDEF format instruction for controlling the mobile terminal to display a target interface to the mobile terminal when it is determined that the wireless communication technology module 203 is in a non-configuration state, and the target interface is used to prompt the user to input the network configuration information.

[0058] In some embodiments, the Bluetooth module 204 is used to realize the data transmission between controllers.

[0059] Based on the above air conditioning system, as shown in Figure 3 , the embodiments of the present application provide a control method of an air conditioning system, which includes the following steps S101-S104.

[0060] S101, the target air conditioning device controls the near field wireless communication module to send a first signal to the mobile terminal of the user.

[0061] Among them, the first signal is used to call the target application program of the mobile terminal of the user, and the mobile terminal of the user is provided with a near field wireless communication module, and the near field wireless communication module of the target air conditioning device can communicate with the near field wireless communication module of the mobile terminal of the user under the near field communication characteristic. The target interface can be used to prompt the user to input the network configuration information, or can be used to display the network configuration information, so that the user can understand the situation of obtaining the network configuration information by the target application program, thereby improving the user experience.

[0062] In some embodiments, the target air conditioning device can generate a first signal in NDEF format, and control the near field wireless communication module to send the first signal to the mobile terminal of the user. Among them, the NDEF format is a preset format.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the target air conditioning device can start the close-range wireless communication module in response to the operation of the mobile terminal touching the close-range wireless communication module, and control the close-range wireless communication module to send the first signal to the mobile terminal of the user.

[0064] For example, the user touches the close-range wireless communication module of the target air conditioning device with the mobile phone, the target air conditioning device starts the close-range wireless communication module, generates a first signal for calling the APP of the air conditioning system corresponding to the mobile terminal of the user, and controls the close-range wireless communication module to send the first signal to the mobile phone of the user. In this embodiment, the target air conditioning device starts the close-range wireless communication module in response to the operation of the mobile terminal touching the close-range wireless communication module, and generates the first signal for calling the target application program in a preset format, and then controls the close-range wireless communication module to send the first signal to the mobile terminal. In this way, the first signal for calling the target application program generated in the preset format can realize data transmission with the mobile terminal with the built-in close-range wireless communication module, thereby improving the user experience.

[0065] S102, the target air conditioning device acquires the network configuration information sent by the mobile terminal through the close-range wireless communication module.

[0066] The network configuration information is acquired by the mobile terminal through the target application program, and the network configuration information includes the account and password of the network.

[0067] In some embodiments, the network configuration information is the network information of the network to which the mobile terminal is connected.

[0068] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal can send the network configuration information to the close-range wireless communication module in the NDEF format. The target air conditioning device acquires the network configuration information in the NDEF format through the close-range wireless communication module.

[0069] In other embodiments, the target air conditioning device can be provided with a Bluetooth module, and the target air conditioning device can acquire the network configuration information sent by the mobile terminal through the Bluetooth module. For example, Figure 5 As shown, when the target air conditioning device is provided with a Bluetooth module and the Bluetooth module establishes contact with the Bluetooth module of the mobile phone of the user, the mobile phone of the user can send the network configuration information to the target air conditioning device through the Bluetooth module, and the target air conditioning device acquires the network configuration information sent by the mobile phone of the user through the Bluetooth module. In this way, the mobile terminal can flexibly send the network configuration information to the target air conditioning device in multiple ways.

[0070] S103, the target air conditioning device performs networking according to the network configuration information, and sends the network configuration information to other air conditioning devices connected to the air conditioning bus in a broadcast manner.

[0071] In some embodiments, the target air conditioner device broadcasts the network configuration information to other air conditioner devices of the air conditioner system through an air conditioner bus of the air conditioner system, so that the target air conditioner device and the other air conditioner devices can transmit information to each other and share information.

[0072] In S104, the other air conditioner devices obtain the network configuration information and perform network configuration according to the network configuration information.

[0073] In this way, all air conditioner devices in the air conditioner bus can access the same network at the same time, and the user does not need to perform network configuration and network configuration one by one, thereby improving the user experience.

[0074] In some embodiments, the other air conditioner devices of the air conditioner system can also be provided with NFC modules. One air conditioner device provided with an NFC module can obtain the network configuration information sent by the mobile terminal through the near field communication module, and then broadcast the network configuration information to other air conditioner devices connected to the air conditioner bus. As long as one air conditioner device of the air conditioner system obtains the network configuration information sent by the mobile terminal, the network configuration information can be broadcast to the air conditioner devices connected to the air conditioner bus. In this way, the user does not need to perform network configuration on each air conditioner device one by one, thereby improving the user experience.

[0075] In some embodiments, in the case that all air conditioner devices of the air conditioner system are provided with WIFI modules, the target air conditioner device can not broadcast the network configuration information to other air conditioner devices through the air conditioner bus. The target air conditioner device can send the network configuration information to the WIFI modules of the other air conditioner devices through the WIFI module, and the WIFI modules of the other air conditioner devices can perform network configuration according to the obtained network configuration information.

[0076] In some embodiments, in the case that all air conditioner devices of the air conditioner system are provided with Bluetooth modules, the target air conditioner device can not broadcast the network configuration information to other air conditioner devices. The target air conditioner device can send the network configuration information to the Bluetooth modules of the other air conditioner devices through the Bluetooth module, and the Bluetooth modules of the other air conditioner devices can send the network configuration information to the WIFI modules, and the WIFI modules can perform network configuration according to the network configuration information. In this way, the other air conditioner devices can flexibly obtain the network configuration information according to the type of the module they set, thereby realizing network configuration.

[0077] The above embodiments at least have the following beneficial effects: the air conditioning device with the close-range wireless communication module in the air conditioning system can communicate with the mobile terminal with the close-range wireless communication module, obtain the network configuration information transmitted by the mobile terminal, so as to realize automatic and convenient network configuration of the air conditioning device, and the network configuration success rate is high. In addition, the network configuration information is broadcasted to other air conditioning devices of the air conditioning system through the air conditioning bus of the air conditioning system, so that all the air conditioning devices in the air conditioning bus are simultaneously connected to the network, and the user does not need to configure the network one by one, thereby improving the user experience.

[0078] In some embodiments, after the target air conditioning device controls the close-range wireless communication module to send the first signal for calling the target application program of the mobile terminal of the user, the close-range wireless communication module can further send a second signal to the mobile terminal in the case that the user selects to open the target application program and the target air conditioning device is not connected to the network. The second signal is used to control the mobile terminal to display a target interface.

[0079] In some embodiments, the target air conditioning device can generate a second signal in NDEF format, and control the close-range wireless communication module to send the second signal to the mobile terminal of the user.

[0080] In some embodiments, the target interface can be used to prompt the user that the network configuration information has been obtained in the case that the target application program opens the network configuration permission and the mobile terminal has obtained the current network configuration information. For example, as shown in Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in the case that the mobile phone of the user opens the network configuration permission and the mobile terminal has obtained the current network configuration information, the target interface of the APP of the mobile phone directly displays the account and password of the network to which the mobile phone is connected, and displays "the account and password of your network have been successfully obtained".

[0081] In other embodiments, the target interface can be used to prompt the user to input the network configuration information in the case that the target application program opens the network configuration permission but the mobile terminal has not obtained the current network configuration information. For example, as shown in Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in the case that the mobile phone of the user fails to obtain the current network configuration information, the target interface of the APP of the mobile phone displays "the network configuration information of your network has not been successfully obtained, please manually input the account and password of the network".

[0082] In other embodiments, the target interface can be used to prompt the user to input the network configuration information in the case that the target application program does not open the network configuration permission. For example, as shown in Figure 8 As shown in the figure, in the case that the mobile phone of the user opens the network configuration permission, the target interface of the APP of the mobile phone displays "the APP of your mobile phone does not open the network configuration permission, please manually input the account and password of the network".

[0083] The above embodiments at least have the following beneficial effects: after the target air conditioner sends a request to the target application program to pop up a target interface for displaying the network configuration information, the mobile terminal can directly acquire the network configuration information of the connected network in the background and display it on the target interface if the target application program has acquired the network configuration permission, can prompt the user to input the network configuration information through the target interface if the target application program has not acquired the network configuration permission, waits for the user to input the network configuration information, or prompts the user to input the network configuration information if the acquisition of the network configuration information fails, so that the mobile terminal can flexibly acquire the network configuration information of the user network according to different situations and then realize the networking of the air conditioning system.

[0084] In some embodiments, the control method of the air conditioning system in the foregoing embodiments can also be implemented in the manner as shown in Figure 9 . Referring to Figure 9 , the method can further include the following steps S301-S314.

[0085] S301, the mobile terminal wakes up the NFC module of the target air conditioner device after approaching;

[0086] S302, the NFC module initiates a request to call the APP corresponding to the target air conditioner device;

[0087] S303, the target air conditioner device determines whether the APP is opened by the user;

[0088] S304, in the case where the APP is not opened by the user, the current request is closed and the next response is waited for;

[0089] S305, in the case where the APP is opened by the user, the target air conditioner device determines whether it is connected to a network;

[0090] S306, in the case where the target air conditioner device is connected to a network, the target air conditioner device waits for and responds to the operation instruction of the user;

[0091] S307, in the case where the target air conditioner device is not connected to a network, the mobile terminal pops up a network configuration interface;

[0092] S308, the mobile terminal determines whether the APP acquires the network configuration permission;

[0093] S309, in the case where the APP acquires the network configuration permission, the mobile terminal can directly acquire the network configuration information in the background;

[0094] S310, if the mobile terminal fails to directly acquire the network configuration information in the background, the mobile terminal waits for the user to input the network configuration information;

[0095] S311, in the case where the APP does not acquire the network configuration permission, the mobile terminal waits for the user to input the network configuration information;

[0096] S312, the mobile terminal sends the network configuration information to the NFC module of the air conditioning device, and the target air conditioning device acquires the network configuration information;

[0097] S313, the target air conditioning device broadcasts the network configuration information to other air conditioning devices through an air conditioning bus protocol;

[0098] S314, each air conditioning device acquires the network configuration information and performs networking according to the network configuration information.
