[0054] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a verification method for a universal display panel of an air conditioning unit according to an exemplary embodiment, with reference to... Figure 1 A verification method for a universal display panel of an air conditioning unit, applied to the display panel, comprising:

[0057] Step S11: Initiate verification sequentially to each stored unit application through the verification procedure;

[0058] Step S12: Obtain communication data fed back by the application programs of each unit;

[0059] Step S13: The communication data is sent sequentially to the air conditioning unit mainboard through the verification procedure;

[0060] Step S14: Obtain the response from the air conditioning unit's main board, and determine the corresponding communication data and unit application program;

[0061] Step S15: Wake up the corresponding unit application program.

[0062] It should be noted that the verification method for the general display board of the air conditioning unit in this embodiment is applied to the display board, in which case the display board acts as the host computer and the main board of the air conditioning unit acts as the slave computer.

[0063] It should be noted that the application program in this implementation is divided into a verification program and a unit application program corresponding to each air conditioning unit model, with one unit application program for each model. The unit application program is an independent program, and a single unit application program can independently perform all the functional controls required for the air conditioning unit display panel. The verification program does not include the functions of the air conditioning unit; it is only responsible for determining the unit application program corresponding to the mainboard of the air conditioning unit currently being matched.

[0064] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 2 The verification process sequentially initiates verification for each stored group application, including: waking up the currently verified group application and putting the previously verified group application into sleep mode when initiating verification for the currently verified group application. It is understood that in this embodiment, the verification process and the group applications corresponding to each device model can be stored in EMMC (Embedded Multi Media Card), a standard specification for embedded memory established by the MMC Association, primarily for products such as mobile phones and tablets. In this embodiment, referring to... Figure 2 The verification program is active when it initiates verification for the currently verified unit application, and the unit application 1 being verified is also active. After the verification program receives the communication data from unit application 1, it puts unit application 1 into a sleep state. The verification program then initiates verification for unit application 2, which is active, and so on, until all unit applications have been traversed. In this embodiment, because only the verification program and the unit applications being verified are active, the amount of display panel memory occupied is minimal, primarily using memory storage such as the EMMC.

[0065] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 3 After the verification program has traversed all the unit applications, the unit applications are in a sleep state when the communication data is sent to the air conditioning unit mainboard in sequence.

[0066] It should be noted that after waking up the corresponding crew application, the method also includes: putting the verification program into hibernation.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 After confirming the corresponding communication data and that the unit application is unit application 2, unit application 2 is woken up. At this time, unit application 2 takes over the control of the air conditioning unit's main board and puts the verification program into a sleep state.

[0068] It should be noted that the method also includes:

[0069] Receive new unit application;

[0070] Store the new unit applications.

[0071] It is understood that when developing a new model using the technical solution in this embodiment, it is only necessary to develop corresponding unit applications 1, 2, 3... each number representing an application for one model, and finally store all unit applications and verification programs on the display board. If the display board currently has verification programs and unit applications 1, 2, and 3, then it is currently applicable to 3 models. After developing a new unit application 4 for a new model, and after unit application 4 passes testing, unit application 4 can also be added to the display board storage, so the display board can then be applicable to models 1, 2, 3, and 4.

[0072] It should be noted that the method also includes:

[0073] Establish an application catalog for the stored verification procedures and applications for each unit.

[0074] In practice, the display board is based on a Linux system with an ext4 file system, and an application directory is established for the stored verification program and applications of each unit to facilitate indexing.

[0075] In practice, the display board establishes a communication connection with the air conditioning unit's main board through a communication module, so that communication data can be sent to the air conditioning unit's main board sequentially through a verification program.

[0076] In practice, display panels generally also include functional modules such as display modules, memory modules, logic processing modules, and key input modules.

[0077] The verification method for the universal display board of air conditioning units in this embodiment is applied to the display board and includes: initiating verification sequentially to each stored unit application through a verification program, obtaining communication data fed back by each unit application, sending the communication data sequentially to the air conditioning unit mainboard, obtaining the response from the air conditioning unit mainboard, determining the communication data and unit application corresponding to the response, and waking up the unit application corresponding to the response. In this embodiment, the application is divided into a verification program and unit applications corresponding to each model, with one unit application corresponding to each model. The unit application is an independent program, and one unit application can independently complete all the functional control required as an air conditioning unit display board. The verification program does not include the functions of the air conditioning unit, but is only responsible for determining the unit application corresponding to the air conditioning unit mainboard to be matched. In this embodiment, it is only necessary to pre-store the verification program and the unit applications corresponding to each model in the display board, so that the verification program can determine the unit application corresponding to the air conditioning unit mainboard to be matched and complete the functional control of the air conditioning unit mainboard to be matched. The technical solution in this embodiment enables the same display board to be adapted to air conditioning unit mainboards of different models, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire R&D life cycle.

[0095] It should be noted that, in the specific implementation of the verification method for the general display board of the air conditioning unit applied to the main board of the air conditioning unit, compared with the verification method for the general display board of the air conditioning unit applied to the display board, the host computer and the slave computer are interchanged, making the verification method for the general display board of the air conditioning unit in this embodiment more flexible and adaptable in implementation.

In this embodiment, the application programs are divided into a verification program and unit applications corresponding to each model, with one unit application program corresponding to each model. Each unit application program is an independent program, and a single unit application program can independently complete all the functional controls required for the air conditioning unit display board. The verification program does not include the functions of the air conditioning unit; it is only responsible for determining the unit application program corresponding to the current air conditioning unit mainboard to be matched. In this embodiment, only the verification program and the unit applications corresponding to each model need to be pre-stored in the display board. The verification program can then determine the unit application program corresponding to the current air conditioning unit mainboard to be matched, completing the functional control of the current air conditioning unit mainboard to be matched. The technical solution in this embodiment allows the same display board to be adapted to air conditioning unit mainboards of different models, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire R&D lifecycle.
