Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more particularly to an air conditioner installation method, an air conditioner, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of manufacturing levels, air conditioners have become common household appliances. Generally, the structure and control program functions of an air conditioner are fixed at the factory. However, because users have different requirements for the functions and / or modes of an air conditioner in different environments or at different times; or even different users may have different requirements for the functions and / or modes of an air conditioner in the same time period or environment, to achieve universal applicability, an air conditioner must have all functions and / or modes pre-installed at the factory. However, since there are many functions and / or modes that can be formed from multiple parameters, pre-installing all functions or modes in an air conditioner results in high costs. Therefore, such air conditioners have limitations.
[0003] It should be noted that the above content is only used to help understand the technical problem solved by the present invention, and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for setting up an air conditioner, the method comprising the following steps:
[0006] The target control parameters corresponding to the target object are determined based on the installed air handling module of the air conditioner and the custom settings operation. The air conditioner includes at least one installation position, and the air handling module can be selectively installed in the installation position. The target object includes target function and / or target mode.
[0007] The target control parameters are associated with and stored with the target object, and the control corresponding to the target object is displayed.

[0010] The target object is determined based on the custom setting operation, and the target control parameters corresponding to the target object are determined based on the control parameter settings triggered by the parameter control. The custom setting operation includes target object setting and control parameter setting.
[0011] Alternatively, the target control parameters corresponding to the target object can be determined based on the control parameter settings triggered by the parameter control, wherein the custom setting operation includes control parameter settings.
[0012] Optionally, the step of displaying the parameter control corresponding to the installed air handling module of the air conditioner includes:
[0013] The target object determined according to the custom settings operation;
[0014] The parameter controls are determined based on the target object and the air handling module already installed in the air conditioner;
[0015] Display the parameter control.
[0016] Optionally, the step of determining the target control parameters corresponding to the target object based on the installed air handling module and custom settings of the air conditioner includes:
[0017] Obtain the setting type, wherein the setting type includes at least one of one-time settings and persistent settings;
[0018] The target control parameters corresponding to the target object of the setting type are determined based on the air handling module installed in the air conditioner and the custom setting operation.
[0019] Optionally, when the setting type is a continuous setting, the step of determining the target control parameters corresponding to the target object of the setting type based on the installed air handling module of the air conditioner and the custom setting operation includes:
[0020] Determine the duration of the persistence setting;
[0021] The target control parameters for the target object within the stated duration are determined based on the air handling module already installed in the air conditioner and the custom settings.
[0022] Optionally, after the step of associating and saving the target control parameters and the target object, and displaying the control corresponding to the target object, the method further includes:
[0023] When a publishing operation is detected, the attribute information corresponding to the target object is sent to the cloud.
[0024] Optionally, after the step of associating and saving the target control parameters and the target object, and displaying the control corresponding to the target object, the method further includes:
[0025] When a release operation is detected, it is determined whether the target object matches the corresponding target control parameters;
[0026] If a match is found, then the step of sending the attribute information of the target object to the cloud is executed.
[0027] If they do not match, submit for approval.
[0028] Optionally, after the step of associating and saving the target control parameters and the target object, and displaying the control corresponding to the target object, the method further includes:
[0029] Upon receiving the start command of the target object, the air conditioner is controlled according to the target control parameters associated with the target object.

[0031] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a readable storage medium storing a setting program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the various steps of the air conditioner setting method described above.
[0032] The present invention provides an air conditioner setting method, an air conditioner, and a readable storage medium. Based on the fact that the target air conditioner has an installation position, and the installation position can selectively install an air handling module, the target air conditioner is capable of supporting various functions and / or modes. Based on this, by configuring some functions and / or modes before leaving the factory, during use, the target function and / or target mode, as well as the target control parameters corresponding to the target function and / or target mode, are determined according to the installed air handling module and custom settings of the air conditioner. The target control parameters are then associated and saved with the target object, and the controls corresponding to the target object are displayed. In other words, some functions and / or modes are flexibly customizable based on user needs, enabling each air conditioner to meet the different needs of various users, thus making the air conditioner universally applicable.

[0038] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0039] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0040] Because the functions and operating modes of traditional air conditioners are determined at the factory, they can only operate within those factory-defined functions and modes after leaving the factory. However, user requirements for air conditioner functions and / or modes vary depending on the environment and time of day; even different users may have different requirements for the same function and / or mode within the same time period or environment. Therefore, for an air conditioner to achieve universal applicability, all functions and / or modes must be pre-installed at the factory. However, the number of functions and / or modes is unlimited, making it impossible to pre-install them all in an air conditioner, and such an air conditioner would be very expensive. Therefore, current air conditioners have limitations.
[0041] Based on this, this invention proposes a method for setting up an air conditioner. This method provides a custom setting function, allowing users to customize target functions and / or modes, which can then be used as one of the functions and / or modes of the air conditioner for operation. Thus, in different environments, at different times, or by different users, users can arbitrarily customize functions and / or modes according to their needs, meeting their diverse requirements for the air conditioner in different environments and at different times. Furthermore, the air conditioner does not need to have all functions and / or modes pre-installed before leaving the factory, resulting in low production costs. Therefore, the air conditioner setting method of this embodiment makes the air conditioner universally applicable.
[0042] Optionally, the setting method of this embodiment is applied to an air conditioner, the indoor unit of which has a mounting position, and the air handling module is detachably installed in the mounting position. That is, the air conditioner in this embodiment modularizes its operating functions or modes to form various air handling modules, which are detachably installed on the air conditioner. Since different air handling modules can achieve different functions, and different combinations of air modules can achieve different modes, the air conditioner in this embodiment, combined with the parameters set by the setting party and different parameter values, can form multiple functions or modes.
[0043] Based on this, the air conditioner in this embodiment has the ability to operate various functions and / or modes. When a new function and / or mode is set, the air conditioner can operate the function and / or mode if it has the air handling module corresponding to the function and / or mode.
[0044] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0045] As one implementation method, the hardware environment architecture involved in the air conditioner setting method can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
[0046] Specifically, the hardware architecture involved in the air conditioner setup method may include a terminal, such as a mobile terminal, a central control device for the air conditioner (e.g., a large screen with a display interface), or a display panel for the air conditioner. The terminal is used to control the air conditioner. Alternatively, the hardware architecture involved in the air conditioner setup method may be an air conditioner with a processor and a display panel.
[0047] In one implementation, the terminal or air conditioner includes: a processor 101, such as a CPU, a memory 102, and a communication bus 103. The communication bus 103 is used to establish communication between these components. The processor 101 is used to invoke an application program to perform setting operations.
[0048] The memory 102 can be a high-speed RAM or a stable memory (non-volatile memory), such as a disk storage device.
[0049] It is understood that, in one embodiment, the setting program for implementing the function and / or mode setting process of the air conditioner is stored in the memory 102 of the terminal or the air conditioner. When the processor 101 calls the setting program from the memory 102, it executes the following setting process:
[0050] The target control parameters corresponding to the target object are determined based on the installed air handling module of the air conditioner and the custom settings operation. The air conditioner includes at least one installation position, and the air handling module can be selectively installed in the installation position. The target object includes target function and / or target mode.
[0051] The target control parameters are associated with and stored with the target object, and the control corresponding to the target object is displayed.
[0052] In another embodiment, the setting program for implementing the function and / or mode setting process of the air conditioner can also be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. When the storage medium is applied to a computer, the processor 101 of the computer can call the setting program from the storage medium to execute the above-described setting process.
[0053] Based on the hardware architecture of the air conditioner described above, the following embodiments of the present invention are proposed.
[0054] First embodiment:
[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 The air conditioner setting method proposed in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0056] Step S10: Determine the target control parameters corresponding to the target object based on the installed air handling module of the air conditioner and the custom setting operation. The air conditioner includes at least one installation position, and the air handling module can be selectively installed in the installation position. The target object includes target function and / or target mode.
[0057] Step S20: Associate and save the target control parameters with the target object, and display the control corresponding to the target object.
[0058] This embodiment uses an air conditioner or a mobile terminal communicating with the air conditioner as an example for illustration.
[0059] The air conditioner described in this embodiment is a floor-standing air conditioner. The indoor unit of the air conditioner has at least one installation position for selectively installing an air handling module. This allows users to switch between different functions and / or modes by replacing the air handling module. The air handling module includes, but is not limited to, the following types: purification module, humidification module, negative ion module, formaldehyde removal module, filtration module, odor removal module, disinfection and sterilization module, noise reduction module, oxygenation module, etc.
[0060] The air handling module is a component used to implement various air handling processes. One air handling module can achieve at least one function, or at least two air handling modules can achieve a mode. For example, after the purification module is installed in the air conditioner, it achieves its purification function in conjunction with the purification function control. For example, the purification module and the formaldehyde removal mode realize a new house mode. In conjunction with mode control, the purification module and the formaldehyde removal mode achieve the corresponding adjustment of the new house mode when they are running.
[0061] It should be noted that the modes include, but are not limited to, new house mode, furniture mode, newly renovated mode, pregnant woman or postpartum mode, pet mode, special period mode, three-generation family mode, etc.
[0062] Therefore, based on the fact that the air handling module is detachable at the mounting position, the air conditioner in this embodiment can realize multiple functions or modes by setting the air handling module or a combination of air handling modules. Thus, the air conditioner has the ability to perform multiple functions or modes.
[0063] Due to cost considerations, air conditioners have limited built-in functions and / or modes, generally limited to standard cooling, heating, and dehumidification modes. Furthermore, different users have different requirements for these functions and / or modes. If every air conditioner had the same functions and / or modes, it would not only fail to meet the needs of all users, but some functions and / or modes would also be useless to some users or in certain environments, resulting in a waste of functionality.
[0064] Based on the air conditioner's ability to perform multiple functions and / or modes, this embodiment leverages the air conditioner's advantages to propose an implementation method that allows for the arbitrary setting and addition of functions or modes according to the user's current environment and needs, enabling the air conditioner to have customizable functions and / or modes. Compared to all air conditioners having the same built-in functions and / or modes, this embodiment is more flexible, not only meeting the needs of different users in different situations but also enhancing the usability of functions and / or modes, making the air conditioner universally applicable.
[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment, the air conditioner has a function and / or mode customization setting function. When the user triggers the customization setting function, the installed air handling module of the air conditioner is obtained, and then the operating parameters that the air conditioner can currently support are determined based on the installed air handling module. Furthermore, in conjunction with the customization setting operation, a customized target object and its target control parameters can be determined. After associating the target object and the target control parameters, the target object is generated, and then the corresponding control of the target object is displayed on the display interface. Thus, the user can trigger the air conditioner to run the target object based on the control of the target object on the display interface. It is understood that the target object includes a target function and / or a target mode.
[0066] Since the target object is associated with target control parameters, the air conditioner's processor can call the target control parameters of the target object when running the target object, based on the association between the target object and the target control parameters.
[0067] It is understood that after generating the target object, the corresponding target firmware is obtained based on the type of the target object, and then the target firmware is used to execute the target control parameters. Optionally, the air conditioner internally stores firmware corresponding to various functions and / or modes, and the target firmware can be obtained from the firmware. Alternatively, after generating the target object, the target firmware is downloaded from the cloud according to the target control parameters of the target object, or the target firmware is automatically generated based on the basic firmware combined with the target control parameters. This enables the operation of custom functions and / or modes in the air conditioner.
[0068] It is understood that the methods for determining the target object and the target control parameters of the target object based on the installed air handling module and custom settings of the air conditioner include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments:
[0069] In one optional embodiment, the step of determining the target control parameters corresponding to the target object based on the installed air handling module of the air conditioner and the custom setting operation includes:
[0070] Displays parameter controls corresponding to the installed air handling module of the air conditioner;
[0071] The target object is determined based on the custom setting operation, and the target control parameters corresponding to the target object are determined based on the control parameter settings triggered by the parameter control. The custom setting operation includes target object setting and control parameter setting.
[0072] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner's custom settings function is triggered, the system obtains information about the air handling module already installed in the air conditioner. Then, only the parameter controls corresponding to the installed air handling module are displayed on the parameter settings interface. The control parameters set by the user on the parameter settings interface are all control parameters supported by the air conditioner's hardware modules. Thus, by combining the custom settings target object and the control parameters set on the parameter settings interface, the target object and its corresponding target control parameters are obtained. Then, the custom settings target object and the target control parameters are associated.
[0073] Optionally, the target control parameter in this embodiment includes a parameter type and a parameter value. When the parameter control is triggered, the parameter type is determined based on the parameter control, and the parameter value is determined based on the number entered when the parameter control is triggered.
[0074] Optionally, the parameter control includes at least one. A user can choose to set a single control parameter (function) as the target control parameter, or a combination of multiple identical control parameters (functions), or a combination of multiple different control parameters (modes) as the target control parameter.
[0075] Optionally, in this embodiment, both the target object and the target control parameters are custom-set. Therefore, the custom settings include setting the target object and the target control parameters.
[0076] This embodiment determines the target control parameters based on the parameter controls supported by the air handling module installed in the air conditioner, so that the customized target object can be supported by the air conditioner's hardware, enabling the air conditioner to operate the target object smoothly, and providing convenience for user customization settings.
[0077] In another optional embodiment, the step of determining the target control parameters corresponding to the target object based on the installed air handling module of the air conditioner and the custom setting operation includes:
[0078] Displays parameter controls corresponding to the installed air handling module of the air conditioner;
[0079] The target control parameters corresponding to the target object are determined based on the control parameter settings triggered by the parameter control, wherein the custom setting operation includes control parameter settings.
[0080] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner's custom settings function is triggered, the system obtains information about the air handling module already installed. Then, only the parameter controls corresponding to the installed air handling module are displayed on the parameter settings interface. The control parameters set by the user on this interface are all control parameters supported by the air conditioner's hardware modules.
[0081] Optionally, in this embodiment, the target object is not a custom-defined target object. In this embodiment, after the user triggers control parameters based on the parameter controls, the target object is determined according to the combination of the control parameters. For example, if the control parameters include humidity, the corresponding target object is the humidification function. Or, if the control parameters include humidity and purification level, the corresponding target object is the freshening mode, etc. Optionally, the target control parameters are also set based on the parameter controls in the parameter setting interface. Therefore, in this embodiment, the target object and its target control parameters are obtained based on the control parameter settings triggered by the parameter controls.
[0082] Optionally, the custom settings described in this embodiment include control parameter settings. Based on these control parameter settings, the target object and target control parameters can be set. Compared to the above embodiments, this embodiment eliminates the need to set a target object, automatically determining the target object, reducing the steps required for custom settings, and providing convenience for users.
[0083] Optionally, the target control parameter in this embodiment includes a parameter type and a parameter value. When the parameter control is triggered, the parameter type is determined based on the parameter control, and the parameter value is determined based on the number entered when the parameter control is triggered.
[0084] Optionally, the parameter control includes at least one. A user can choose to set one parameter (function) as the target control parameter, or choose to set a combination of multiple identical parameters (functions), or a combination of multiple different parameters (modes) as the target control parameter.
[0085] This embodiment determines the target control parameters based on the parameter controls supported by the air handling module installed in the air conditioner, so that the customized target object can be supported by the air conditioner's hardware, enabling the air conditioner to operate the target object smoothly, and providing convenience for user customization settings.
[0086] In yet another optional embodiment, the step of displaying the parameter control corresponding to the installed air handling module of the air conditioner includes:
[0087] The target object determined according to the custom settings operation;
[0088] The parameter controls are determined based on the target object and the air handling module already installed in the air conditioner;
[0089] Display the parameter control.
[0090] This embodiment determines a target object based on a custom setting operation, then determines a first parameter or a combination of first parameters corresponding to the target object based on the target object, and determines a target parameter from the first parameter or combination of first parameters and the second parameter or combination of second parameters supported by the installed air handling module of the air conditioner, thereby determining the parameter control corresponding to the target parameter and displaying the parameter control. The custom setting operation includes target object setting and control parameter setting.
[0091] This embodiment is a further embodiment proposed compared to the optional embodiment. In this embodiment, the target object is determined based on a custom setting operation. Unlike the optional embodiment, the parameter controls displayed in this embodiment are determined based on the user-defined target object settings, according to the parameters corresponding to the target object and the parameters supported by the air handling module installed in the air conditioner. For example, a first parameter is determined based on the target object, and then a second parameter corresponding to the air handling module installed in the air conditioner is determined from the first parameter. The parameter control for the second parameter is then displayed on the display interface. If the target object is air purification, the corresponding first parameter includes dust removal, filtration, etc., and the air handling module installed in the air conditioner is a filter, then the filter parameter control is displayed, and the user sets the target control parameters corresponding to air purification based on the filter parameter control.
[0092] This embodiment determines the target control parameters based on the parameter controls supported by the air handling module installed in the air conditioner, so that the customized target object can be supported by the air conditioner's hardware, enabling the air conditioner to operate the target object smoothly, and providing convenience for user customization settings.
[0093] Optionally, after associating and maintaining the target object and its target control parameters, the air conditioner can automatically switch to the target object and operate it according to the target control parameters. Alternatively, the target object can be simply maintained and then activated only when the user uses it.
[0094] In this embodiment, the target air conditioner has an installation position where an air handling module can be selectively installed, enabling the target air conditioner to support various functions and / or modes. Based on this, by configuring some functions and / or modes before leaving the factory, during use, the target function and / or target mode, along with the corresponding target control parameters, are determined based on the installed air handling module and custom settings. These target control parameters are then associated and saved with the target object, and the controls corresponding to the target object are displayed. In other words, some functions and / or modes are flexibly customizable based on user needs, allowing each air conditioner to meet the different needs of various users, thus making the air conditioner universally applicable.
[0095] Second Embodiment
[0096] Please refer to Figure 3 This embodiment is based on the first embodiment described above. In this embodiment, the step of determining the target control parameters corresponding to the target object based on the installed air handling module of the air conditioner and the custom settings includes:
[0097] Step S11: Obtain the setting type, wherein the setting type includes at least one of one-time setting and continuous setting;
[0098] Step S12: Determine the target control parameters corresponding to the target object of the setting type based on the installed air handling module of the air conditioner and the custom setting operation.
[0099] It should be noted that since functions and / or modes may only be suitable for the current or a certain period of operation, their performance will deteriorate after the optimal period. At this time, users can customize other functions and / or modules. However, over time, the number of functions and / or modes within the air conditioner will increase, consuming a large amount of memory and consequently reducing the air conditioner's operating speed. Therefore, this embodiment defines the setting type of functions and / or modes, allowing customized functions and / or modes to be either one-time or continuous. For one-time functions and / or modes, they are deleted after operation. For continuous functions and / or modes, they are deleted after the specified duration of operation. During the specified duration, starting and stopping the function and / or mode will not delete it.
[0100] Optionally, the setting type also includes permanent settings. If a permanent setting is selected, the function and / or mode will remain in the air conditioner and will not be deleted (unless manually deleted by the user).
[0101] Optionally, the setting type is a one-time setting, that is, the control is completed in one go. Under this setting type, the user only needs to set a set of target control parameters.
[0102] When the setting type is continuous, it means continuous control over a period of time, requiring parameter control during this period. Under this setting type, the user can set at least one set of target control parameters. For example, the target control parameters may differ at different times or each startup.
[0103] Optionally, in an embodiment where the setting type is a continuous setting, the step of determining the target control parameters corresponding to the target object of the setting type based on the installed air handling module of the air conditioner and the custom setting operation includes:
[0104] Determine the duration of the persistence setting;
[0105] The target control parameters for the target object within the stated duration are determined based on the air handling module already installed in the air conditioner and the custom settings.
[0106] When a user selects "continuous setting" as the setting type during the custom settings process, the display interface outputs a duration input port. The user inputs the duration based on the input port, and the duration is then defined as the duration of the target object.
[0107] Users set at least one target control parameter for each preset time interval within the specified duration. Then, based on the sequential order of these preset time intervals, the target control parameters for each time interval are associated. When the target object is running, the target control parameters for each time interval are determined according to the preset time intervals, and the air conditioner is controlled based on these target control parameters. Thus, by having multiple associated target control parameters within the specified duration, the target control parameters in the custom-defined target object change over time, making the air conditioner's custom functions and / or modes intelligent.
[0108] Third Embodiment
[0109] Please refer to Figure 4 This embodiment is based on all the above embodiments. In this embodiment, after the step of associating and saving the target control parameters with the target object and displaying the control corresponding to the target object, it further includes:
[0110] Step S30: When a publishing operation is detected, the attribute information corresponding to the target object is sent to the cloud.
[0111] In this embodiment, after associating and saving the target object and the target control parameters, the user can also publish the target object's attribute information to the cloud operation system for other users to subscribe to and use. The target object's attribute information includes the software package that implements the target object; based on this attribute information, the user can obtain the target object and its target control parameters.
[0112] Optionally, the air conditioner or mobile terminal has a publishing control, and when the user triggers a publishing operation based on the publishing control, the attribute information of the target object is published to the cloud.
[0113] All target air conditioners communicating with the cloud can send the target object's subscription information to the cloud, thereby sharing the target object's attribute information with other air conditioners.
[0114] Optionally, in one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0115] When a release operation is detected, it is determined whether the target object matches the corresponding target control parameters;
[0116] If a match is found, then the step of sending the attribute information of the target object to the cloud is executed.
[0117] If they do not match, submit for approval.
[0118] Since the target object and target control parameters are user-defined, there may be conflicts or mismatches between the target object's identifier and the user-defined control parameters. For example, if the target object is a dust removal function, but the target control parameter is humidity, then the target object and target control parameters are incompatible. Publishing such a target object to the cloud could easily mislead other users.
[0119] Based on this, in this embodiment, when a user triggers the publishing operation, the air conditioner or mobile terminal will first identify whether the target object matches the corresponding target control parameters. If they match, the attribute information of the target object will be sent to the cloud. If they do not match, the application will be submitted for manual approval. Once the manual approval is approved, the application will be sent to the cloud. If the manual approval is not approved, a publishing failure message will be output.
[0120] This embodiment enables the sharing of target object attribute information with other users. Users can subscribe to the target object via the cloud, saving them the trouble of customizing settings and providing convenience. This is especially beneficial for users near air conditioners, as they share similar environments and needs.
[0121] Fourth embodiment
[0122] Please refer to Figure 5 This embodiment is based on all the above embodiments. Optionally, after the step of associating and saving the target control parameters with the target object and displaying the control corresponding to the target object, it further includes:
[0123] Step S40: When the start command of the target object is received, the air conditioner is controlled according to the target control parameters associated with the target object.
[0124] After the target object is customized, it is displayed on the display interface. Users can trigger the target object's start command based on the display interface, or via voice control or gesture control. Upon receiving the target object's start command, the air conditioner invokes the target control parameters associated with the target object, and then controls the air conditioner to operate according to these parameters, thereby regulating the indoor environment by using the target object.
[0125] In this embodiment, the air conditioner can be controlled based on the target control parameters associated with the target object, thereby enabling the customization and addition of the target object.
[0126] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, one of the following configuration methods for an air conditioner is proposed:
[0127] Users enable the custom settings feature;
[0128] The user defines the name of the function and / or mode and selects the setting type. Is the function and / or mode a one-time setting or a continuous setting? If it's a one-time setting, select one or more control parameter combinations and set the value of each control parameter to complete the function and / or mode and its control parameter settings.
