[0064] Furthermore, in order to control the air conditioner 110 , necessary firmware, such as an application program, may be installed on the electronic device 100 to control the air conditioner 110 .

[0065] It should be noted that the control system 10 may further include a server (not shown in the figure). The server may be provided in the electronic device 100 or may be a separate electronic device 100 , and this is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, based on Figure 1 The electronic device 100 is provided, and a possible implementation is given below. Figure 2 This is an exemplary structural block diagram of an electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 2 The electronic device 100 includes a memory 101, a processor 102, and a communication interface 103. The memory 101, processor 102, and communication interface 103 are electrically connected to each other directly or indirectly to enable data transmission or interaction. For example, these components can be electrically connected to each other via one or more communication buses or signal lines.

[0067] The memory 101 can be used to store software programs and modules, and the processor 102 performs various functional applications and data processing by executing the software programs and modules stored in the memory 101. The communication interface 103 can be used to communicate signaling or data with other node devices.

[0069] The processor 102 may be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities. The processor 102 may be a general-purpose processor, including a central processing unit (CPU), a network processor (NP), etc.; it may also be a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, or discrete hardware components.

[0070] The following is an illustrative description of the home air-conditioning power control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, using the electronic device 100 as the execution subject. Figure 3 , Figure 3 The figure shows a flow chart of a method for controlling power consumption of a household air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned home-based air conditioning power consumption control method is applied to an electronic device, the electronic device is communicatively connected to at least one air conditioner, and the electronic device stores family member accounts and home air conditioning power consumption control strategies. The above-mentioned method may include the following steps:

[0072] S210 , in response to an air conditioner power-on instruction inputted from an electronic device, determining whether there is an air conditioner electricity quota in a family member's account.

[0073] S220: If yes, turn on the corresponding air conditioner based on the air conditioner power-on instruction, and manage the power consumption of the air conditioner based on the household air conditioner power control strategy, or configure the air conditioner power consumption quota in the family member account.

[0074] S230: If not, refuse to turn on the corresponding air conditioner, and provide an air conditioner power quota acquisition plan based on the household air conditioner power control strategy.

[0075] The above steps realize the process of reasonably allocating the electricity consumption quota of the air conditioner and the air conditioning electricity quota in the family member account based on the household air conditioning electricity consumption control strategy, and providing an air conditioning electricity quota acquisition plan when there is no air conditioning electricity quota in the family member account.

[0076] Among them, step S210 is a process of determining whether there is an air conditioning electricity quota in the family member account of the electronic device when the air conditioner needs to be turned on.

[0077] It should be noted that the family member accounts stored in the above-mentioned electronic devices can be set in advance in the application installed in the electronic device, and a family administrator account can be set as the main account in the corresponding application of a certain electronic device, and other family member accounts can be set as secondary accounts. The family air-conditioning power control strategy can then be set based on the main account.

[0078] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone and the application installed in the mobile phone is an IoT app for controlling an air conditioner, the steps of setting up family member accounts and configuring the air conditioner based on the family member accounts can be described as follows:

[0079] Step 1: Family member 1 creates a family administrator account name (for example, "Happy Home") on the mobile phone and fills in the family administrator account and password so that other family members can log in to the family administrator account using the account and password.

[0080] Step 2: The family member fills in the mobile phone number, and the APP sends a verification code to verify the authenticity of the family member's identity. After the verification is completed, the family administrator account is successfully created.

[0081] Step 3. Log in to the family administrator account, add family member accounts and available air conditioners. At this time, it is assumed that all family members have registered family member accounts on the APP, and the controllable air conditioners can be found based on the family member accounts.

[0082] Step 4: Family member 1 logs in to the family manager account and searches for each family member's account based on their phone number (for example, if the father has already registered a family member account on the app, you can enter his phone number in the search box to find his family member account). If no family member account is found, it means that the phone number entered is incorrect or the phone number has not yet been registered for a family member account. If a family member account is found, you can add the family member account to the family member account list and add the air conditioner bound to the family member account to the family air conditioner list.

[0083] Furthermore, each family member account in the app can bind and unbind an air conditioner. Once a family member account is bound to an air conditioner, the family member can control the bound air conditioner through the corresponding family member account. Among them, one family member account can be bound to multiple air conditioners, and one air conditioner can also be bound to multiple family member accounts, but only one family member account is the primary account for the air conditioner.

[0084] When the air conditioner needs to be turned on and it is determined that there is an air conditioner electricity quota in the family member account, step S220 is continued to be executed, the corresponding air conditioner is turned on based on the air conditioner power-on instruction, and the electricity quota consumed by the air conditioner is managed and controlled based on the family air conditioner electricity control strategy, or the air conditioner electricity quota in the family member account is configured.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that there is an air-conditioning electricity quota in a family member's account, the air conditioner can be turned on. During the process of turning on the air conditioner, the air conditioner will report the electricity quota to the corresponding electronic device in real time. The electronic device will convert the air-conditioning electricity quota consumed by the family member's account. If the consumed air-conditioning electricity quota exceeds the air-conditioning electricity quota currently existing in the family member's account, the air conditioner will stop running and send a notification to inform the corresponding family member that the electricity quota has exceeded.

[0086] Based on this, the above process of controlling the electricity consumption of the air conditioner can control the electricity consumption of the air conditioner based on the off-peak period of electricity consumption, so as to encourage family members to use the air conditioner during the off-peak period of electricity consumption and make rational use of electricity resources.

[0087] Furthermore, the above-mentioned household air-conditioning electricity consumption control strategy for managing the electricity consumption quota of the air conditioner can be, for example, to obtain the current electricity consumption quota of the running air conditioner. If the air conditioner is running during the preferential time period of the off-peak period, the electricity consumption quota of the air conditioner after the discount can be calculated during the preferential time period, thereby reducing the electricity consumption quota of the air conditioner.

[0088] Among them, the preferential time period during the off-peak period can be set through an application installed in the electronic device in advance. For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, the application installed in the mobile phone is an Internet of Things APP for controlling the air conditioner, and based on the process of configuring the family member account of the electronic device in the previous article, the preferential time period during the off-peak period can be set by family members logging into the family administrator account on the mobile phone APP.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present invention, the above process of configuring the air-conditioning electricity quota in the family member account can configure the air-conditioning electricity quota in the family member account through a preset mode.

[0090] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, the application installed in the mobile phone is an Internet of Things APP for controlling the air conditioner, and based on the process of configuring the family member accounts of the electronic device in the previous article, the above-mentioned pre-set mode may include a sharing mode. In this mode, when there is one air conditioner running, the APP will send a red envelope at regular intervals, and the red envelope contains a random amount of air conditioner electricity quota. Family members can receive the red envelope through their respective mobile phones (i.e., electronic devices) and obtain the air conditioner electricity quota in the red envelope.

[0091] The above sharing mode can be set by family members logging into the family administrator account on the mobile app. For example, a family member can log in to the family administrator account on the mobile app to set the air conditioning electricity quota range included in each red envelope under this mode, as well as the time interval for sending red envelopes.

[0092] Based on this, the household air-conditioning electricity consumption control strategy for configuring the air-conditioning electricity consumption quota in the family members' accounts in this sharing mode can be, for example, to determine the number of air conditioners in operation. When there is only one air conditioner in operation, the scheduled sending of red envelopes will be enabled, so that family members can obtain the air-conditioning electricity consumption quota in the red envelopes.

[0093] It should be noted that the above-mentioned pre-set mode may also include other modes, so that in other modes, the air conditioning electricity quota in the family member account can be configured, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

[0094] When the air conditioner needs to be turned on and it is determined that there is no air conditioner electricity quota in the family member account, step S230 is continued to be executed, the corresponding air conditioner is refused to be turned on, and an air conditioner electricity quota acquisition plan is provided based on the family air conditioner electricity control strategy.

[0095] In this embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that no air conditioning electricity quota exists in a family member's account, it indicates that the air conditioning electricity quota in the family member's account has been used up, and the air conditioner cannot be used. Based on this, the process of providing an air conditioning electricity quota acquisition solution based on the household air conditioning electricity control policy can obtain the corresponding air conditioning electricity quota from the family member's account using the pre-set household air conditioning electricity control policy, so that the air conditioner can continue to be used.

[0096] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, the application installed in the mobile phone is an Internet of Things APP for controlling the air conditioner, and based on the process of configuring the family member account of the electronic device in the previous article, the above-mentioned pre-set home air conditioner power control strategy may include a power conversion strategy or a housework strategy.

[0097] The above-mentioned air-conditioning electricity quota acquisition scheme can be: when a family member's air-conditioning electricity quota is used up, an application can be sent to a target family member, requesting the target family member to transfer the required air-conditioning electricity quota so that the target family member can continue to use the air conditioner.

[0098] Based on the air-conditioning electricity quota acquisition plan, the above-mentioned electricity conversion strategy can be, for example, when the air-conditioning electricity quota of the family member account of the target family member's mobile phone APP is greater than the air-conditioning electricity quota that needs to be applied for, and the target family member agrees to the conversion, the air-conditioning electricity quota that needs to be applied for can be obtained from the family member account of the target family member's mobile phone APP and given to the family member who applied for the air-conditioning electricity quota.

[0099] Furthermore, the above-mentioned air-conditioning electricity quota acquisition scheme can also be: based on the pre-set housework mode, when the air-conditioning electricity quota of a family member is used up, the family member logs in to the corresponding family member account to receive the housework task, which corresponds to the air-conditioning electricity quota. After the family member completes the corresponding housework task, he can initiate the housework completion approval. After other family members approve it, the family member can obtain the air-conditioning electricity quota corresponding to the housework task so that he can continue to use the air conditioner.

[0100] The above-mentioned housework mode can be set by a family member logging into the family administrator account on the mobile phone app. For example, a family member can log in to the family administrator account on the mobile phone app to set the name of each housework task in this mode and the corresponding air conditioning power quota.

[0101] Based on this, the household air-conditioning power consumption control strategy for obtaining the air-conditioning power consumption quota in the housework mode can be, for example, when the approval message is received from the mobile phones (i.e., electronic devices) of all other family members, the family member who initiated the housework and completed the approval will obtain the air-conditioning power consumption quota corresponding to the housework task.

[0102] It should be noted that the above-mentioned pre-set household air-conditioning electricity consumption control strategy may also include a household air-conditioning electricity consumption control strategy, so that the air-conditioning electricity consumption quota can be obtained under other household air-conditioning electricity consumption control strategies. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0103] The home-based air conditioning power control method provided by the embodiments of the present invention manages the power consumption of the air conditioner through a home air conditioning power control strategy, or configures the air conditioning power quota in a family member's account. If the air conditioning power quota does not exist in the family member's account, a solution for obtaining the air conditioning power quota based on the home air conditioning power control strategy is provided. This allows family members to use the air conditioner reasonably based on the air conditioning power quota in their respective family member accounts, thereby reducing air conditioning power quota consumption. Furthermore, since all family members can operate the system through electronic devices, interaction between family members is strengthened, enhancing family ties and making the entire family more cozy.

[0104] Optionally, before step S210, it is necessary to pre-allocate the air conditioning power quota in the family member account of the electronic device, that is, it is necessary to pre-set a reasonable total power consumption and allocate the total power consumption to each family member. After the family member obtains the air conditioning power quota, he or she can use the air conditioner reasonably. This process can be achieved by the following steps:

[0105] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A second flow chart of a method for controlling household air conditioning power consumption is shown in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Prior to the step of determining whether there is an air conditioning power consumption quota in a household member's account in response to an air conditioner power-on command inputted from an electronic device in S210, the method further includes the following steps:

[0106] S200: Obtain the electricity consumption restriction date range and the total electricity consumption amount.

[0107] S201: Obtain the air conditioning electricity usage quota within the electricity usage restriction date range based on the total electricity usage quota, and use it as the air conditioning electricity usage quota of the family member account.

[0108] The above steps implement the process of obtaining the pre-allocated air conditioning electricity quota for the family member account based on the electricity restriction date range and the total electricity quota.

[0109] It should be noted that before obtaining the power restriction date range and the total power consumption amount, and obtaining the air conditioner power consumption amount within the power restriction date range based on the total power consumption amount, the power restriction date range and the total power consumption amount need to be set.

[0110] Therefore, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, and the application installed in the mobile phone is an IoT app for controlling the air conditioner, and based on the process of configuring the family member account of the electronic device described above, the setting process before obtaining the air conditioner electricity usage quota within the electricity usage restriction date range based on the total electricity usage quota can be described as follows:

[0111] Step 1: Log in to the family manager account, create a new electricity allocation setting, and then set the electricity restriction date range. This means that the electricity allocation setting will be valid during this electricity restriction date range. For example, if the electricity restriction date range is set from 2022-10-01 to 2022-11-01, the electricity allocation setting will only be valid during October 2022.

[0112] Step 2: After setting the electricity usage limit date range, you can set the total electricity usage quota. For example, if the total electricity usage quota is set to 300 kWh, combined with the previously set electricity usage limit date range, during October 2022, the electricity usage quota of all air conditioners in the family can only be within 300 kWh. After 300 kWh is used up, all air conditioners will be unable to turn on.

[0113] After setting the above electricity restriction date range and total electricity quota, you can allocate the electricity quota to each family member account. For example, if the total electricity quota is 300 kWh, 100 kWh can be allocated to the father, 100 kWh to the mother, and 100 kWh to the son.

[0114] Based on this, the family member account corresponding to the family member will obtain the air conditioning electricity quota within the electricity restriction date range as the air conditioning electricity quota of the family member account. At this time, the family member can use a mobile phone (i.e., electronic device) to log in to his or her family member account, and based on the obtained air conditioning electricity quota, select his or her own dominant air conditioner and perform operations such as turning it on.

[0115] It should be noted that during the power consumption restriction date range set based on the power consumption allocation, the remote control will not be able to control the air conditioner, and the air conditioner can only be controlled by the application installed on the electronic device (for example, the Internet of Things APP for controlling the air conditioner).

[0116] Optionally, the household air conditioner electricity consumption control policy in step S220 may include a sharing policy. Under this policy, the process of configuring the air conditioner electricity consumption quota in the family member account may be implemented by the following steps:

[0117] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A third flow chart of a method for controlling household air conditioning power usage is shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The household air conditioning power usage control strategy includes a sharing strategy. The electronic device also stores reward information, including a range of air conditioning power usage quotas to be rewarded and a time interval for sending rewards. The step of configuring the air conditioning power usage quotas in family members' accounts based on the household air conditioning power usage control strategy in step S220 includes:

[0118] S221: When the sharing mode is on, the air conditioner electricity quota is obtained according to the sharing strategy and reward information.

[0119] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, the application installed in the mobile phone is an Internet of Things APP for controlling the air conditioner, and based on the process of configuring the family member accounts of the electronic device in the previous article, the above-mentioned sharing mode can be: when there is one air conditioner in operation, the APP will periodically send out a red envelope (i.e., reward information) and the red envelope contains a random amount of air conditioning electricity quota. Family members can receive the red envelope through their respective mobile phones (i.e., electronic devices) and obtain the air conditioning electricity quota in the red envelope.

[0120] Since the electronic device also stores reward information, the reward information can be set by family members logging into the family manager account on the mobile phone APP. If the reward information includes red envelopes, the steps for pre-setting the reward information can be described as follows:

[0121] Step 1: Log in to the Family Manager account and set the range of AC power usage to be rewarded in each red envelope under sharing mode. For example, if the range of AC power usage to be rewarded is 1-10 kWh, then each time the app sends a red envelope, a random AC power usage amount from 1-10 will be used.

[0122] Step 2: After setting the range of the air conditioner electricity usage quota to be rewarded, you also need to set the reward sending interval, that is, the interval at which the system sends red envelopes after the sharing mode is turned on. For example, if the reward sending interval is set to 30 minutes, the app will send red envelopes every 30 minutes.

[0123] Step 3: Set whether to enable sharing mode. Only when it is enabled will family members receive red envelopes.

[0124] Therefore, when the sharing mode is turned on, the household air-conditioning electricity consumption control strategy for configuring the air-conditioning electricity consumption quota in the family members' accounts under the sharing mode can be, for example, to determine the number of air conditioners in operation. When there is only one air conditioner in operation, the scheduled sending of red envelopes will be turned on, so that family members can obtain the air-conditioning electricity consumption quota in the red envelopes.

[0125] Optionally, the process of obtaining the air conditioner electricity quota according to the sharing strategy and reward information in step S221 can be implemented by the following steps:

[0126] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 This figure shows a fourth flow chart of a method for controlling power consumption of a home air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The reward information includes a red envelope. The step of obtaining the power consumption quota of the air conditioner according to the sharing strategy and the reward information in step S221 includes:

[0127] S2211, determining the number of air conditioners in operation.

[0128] S2212, when there is only one air conditioner in operation, turn on the red envelope scheduled sending function. When the time interval for sending the reward is reached, the air conditioner electricity quota in the red envelope is obtained and added to the air conditioner electricity quota in the family member's account.

[0129] When the number of air conditioners in operation is greater than one, the process returns to step S2211.

[0130] The above steps realize the process of sharing the air conditioner electricity quota in the red envelope among family members when the sharing mode is turned on and there is only one air conditioner in operation.

[0131] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, and the application installed on the mobile phone is an IoT app for controlling an air conditioner, based on the process of configuring the family member account of the electronic device described above, and based on the process of setting the reward information in the sharing mode described above, the steps for obtaining the air conditioner electricity quota based on the sharing strategy and reward information can be described as follows:

[0132] Step 1: When the sharing mode is on, first determine whether only one of the air conditioners in the current household is working.

[0133] Step 2. If only one air conditioner is working, turn on the red envelope timer sending function. The red envelope timer sending function is used to time the time interval for sending rewards. After turning on this function, determine whether the timing reaches the time interval for sending rewards. If not, loop the above process. If reached, family members will receive the air conditioning electricity quota in the red envelope sent by the APP, and the air conditioning electricity quota in the red envelope will be added to the air conditioning electricity quota in the family member's account.

[0134] Optionally, the home-based air conditioning power consumption control method can also control the power consumption quota of the air conditioner based on the limited-time discount information stored in the electronic device. This process can be implemented through the following steps:

[0135] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 A fifth flow chart of a method for controlling household air conditioning power consumption provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The electronic device further stores limited-time discount information, which includes a discount electricity usage time period and a discount electricity rate. The discount electricity usage time period is set based on off-peak electricity usage periods. Step S220, which controls the electricity consumption quota of the air conditioner based on the household air conditioning power consumption control strategy, includes the following steps:

[0136] S222: When the limited-time discount mode is enabled, determine the number of air conditioners in operation.

[0137] S223: When at least one air conditioner is running, obtain the current power consumption of the running air conditioner.

[0138] S224 , when the running air conditioner is running in a preferential electricity usage time period, obtaining a preferential electricity usage quota based on the current power consumption of the running air conditioner and the preferential electricity usage rate.

[0139] S225: Obtain the electricity quota consumed by the air conditioner according to the current power consumption of the running air conditioner and the preferential electricity quota.

[0140] The above steps implement the process of obtaining the discounted electricity consumption quota of the air conditioner according to the limited-time discount information. In this mode, family members can use the air conditioner during the off-peak period and make rational use of electricity resources.

[0141] It should be noted that since limited-time discount information is also stored in the electronic device, if the electronic device is a mobile phone and the application installed in the mobile phone is an Internet of Things APP for controlling the air conditioner, based on the previous process of configuring the family member account of the electronic device, the limited-time discount information can be set by family members logging into the family administrator account on the mobile phone APP.

[0142] The steps of pre-setting the limited-time discount information can be described as follows:

[0143] Step 1: Log in to the family manager account and set a time period for discounted electricity usage under the limited-time discount mode. For example, if the off-peak hours are from 10:30 PM to 8:00 AM, you can set this time period as the discounted electricity usage period.

[0144] Step 2: After setting the preferential electricity usage time period, you also need to set the preferential electricity usage rate. The setting range of the preferential electricity usage rate is 0-100%. For example, set the preferential electricity usage rate to 20%.

[0145] Step 3: Set the limited-time discount mode to be on. Only when it is turned on can you obtain the discounted electricity consumption quota of the air conditioner.

[0146] Furthermore, based on the above process of setting the limited-time discount information in the limited-time discount mode, the steps of controlling the electricity consumption quota of the air conditioner based on the household air conditioner power consumption control strategy can be described as follows:

[0147] First, the number of air conditioners in operation is determined when the limited-time discount mode is turned on.

[0148] Secondly, when at least one air conditioner is running, the APP system will calculate the current power consumption of the running air conditioner, so that family members can obtain the current power consumption of the running air conditioner through the APP. For example, the current power consumption of the air conditioner is 10 degrees.

[0149] At this time, the APP system will determine whether the running air conditioner is running within the preferential electricity usage time period. If it is within the preferential electricity usage time period, the electricity consumption of the air conditioner will be reduced by a preferential amount, and family members can obtain the specific value of the preferential electricity usage quota through the APP (for example, if the preferential electricity usage quota is set = the current power consumption of the air conditioner * the preferential electricity usage rate, the current power consumption of the air conditioner is 10 degrees, and the preferential electricity usage rate is 20%, then the preferential electricity usage quota obtained is 2 degrees).

[0150] After obtaining the preferential electricity quota, family members can obtain the discounted electricity quota of the air conditioner through the APP (for example, if the electricity quota consumed by the air conditioner is set = the current power consumption of the air conditioner - the preferential electricity quota, the current power consumption of the air conditioner is 10 degrees, and the preferential electricity quota obtained is 2 degrees, then the electricity quota consumed by the air conditioner after the discount is 8 degrees).

[0151] Optionally, the household air conditioner electricity consumption control strategy in step S230 may further include an electricity conversion strategy and a housework strategy. Under the above electricity conversion strategy and housework strategy, the process of providing an air conditioner electricity consumption quota acquisition solution based on the household air conditioner electricity consumption control strategy may be implemented by the following steps:

[0152] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 The sixth flow chart of a home-based air conditioning power control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The home air conditioning power control strategy also includes a power conversion strategy and a housework strategy. The electronic device also stores housework information, which includes multiple housework names and the air conditioning power quota corresponding to each housework name.

[0153] The step of providing an air conditioning electricity quota acquisition solution based on the household air conditioning electricity consumption control strategy in step S230 includes:

[0154] S231: Send a quota application instruction to the first target electronic device to obtain the air-conditioning electricity quota in the family member account of the first target electronic device according to the electricity conversion strategy.

[0155] The first target electronic device represents an electronic device other than the electronic device that sends the quota application instruction, and the quota application instruction includes the name of the first target electronic device and the air-conditioning electricity quota that needs to be applied for.

[0156] Alternatively, a task approval instruction is sent to all second target electronic devices to obtain the air-conditioning power quota corresponding to the housework name according to the housework policy.

[0157] The second target electronic device represents an electronic device other than the electronic device that sends the task approval instruction.

[0158] It should be noted that if it is determined in step S210 that the air conditioning electricity quota does not exist in the family member's account, it means that the air conditioning electricity quota in the family member's account has been used up, and the air conditioner will no longer be usable. Based on this, the corresponding air conditioning electricity quota can be transferred to the family member's account through a pre-set electricity transfer strategy or housework strategy to allow continued use of the air conditioner.

[0159] That is, the above-mentioned air-conditioning electricity quota acquisition plan can be: when a family member's air-conditioning electricity quota is used up, an application can be sent to the target family member (i.e., the first target electronic device), requesting the target family member to transfer the required air-conditioning electricity quota so that they can continue to use the air conditioner.

[0160] Furthermore, the above-mentioned air-conditioning electricity quota acquisition scheme can also be: based on the pre-set housework mode, when the air-conditioning electricity quota of a family member is used up, the family member logs in to the corresponding family member account to receive the housework task, which corresponds to the air-conditioning electricity quota. After the family member completes the corresponding housework task, he or she can initiate a housework completion approval to other family members (i.e., all second target electronic devices). After the approval is passed by other family members, the family member can obtain the air-conditioning electricity quota corresponding to the housework task so as to continue to use the air conditioner.

[0161] Optionally, the process of obtaining the air-conditioning electricity usage quota in the family member account of the first target electronic device according to the electricity usage conversion strategy in step S231 can be implemented by the following steps:

[0162] See also Figure 9 , Figure 9 The seventh flow chart of a method for controlling household air conditioning power consumption provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The step of obtaining the air conditioning power consumption quota in the family member account of the first target electronic device according to the power conversion strategy in step S231 includes:

[0163] S2311, when the air-conditioning electricity quota in the family member account of the first target electronic device is greater than or equal to the air-conditioning electricity quota that needs to be applied for, and based on the first target electronic device obtaining the application approval instruction, the air-conditioning electricity quota that needs to be applied for is obtained from the family member account of the first target electronic device.

[0164] The above steps realize the process of the applying family member obtaining the required air conditioning electricity quota when the air conditioning electricity quota in the family member account of the applied target family member meets the transfer conditions and the target family member agrees to the transfer.

[0165] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, and the application installed in the mobile phone is an IoT app for controlling an air conditioner, based on the process of configuring the family member account of the electronic device described above, the steps of obtaining the air conditioner electricity quota in the family member account of the first target electronic device according to the electricity conversion strategy can be described as follows:

[0166] Under the premise that family member A's air conditioning electricity quota has been used up, in step S226, family member A uses his mobile phone to send an application to the mobile phone of family user B (i.e., the first target electronic device):

[0167] If household user A applies for an air-conditioning electricity quota of 60 kWh from household user B, and the air-conditioning electricity quota in household user B's family member account is 100 kWh, then the air-conditioning electricity quota in household user B's family member account is greater than the air-conditioning electricity quota that household user A needs to apply for.

[0168] Furthermore, after household user B agrees to the transfer (i.e., based on the application approval instruction obtained by the first target electronic device), the air-conditioning electricity quota in the family member account of household user A will be increased by 60 degrees on the original basis (i.e., the air-conditioning electricity quota to be applied for is obtained from the family member account of the first target electronic device), and the air-conditioning electricity quota of household user B will be subtracted by 60 degrees on the original basis. At this time, there will be 40 degrees of air-conditioning electricity quota left in the family member account of household user B.

[0169] If the air conditioning electricity quota in the family member account of household user B is less than 60 degrees, it cannot be transferred.

[0170] Optionally, the process of obtaining the air conditioning power quota corresponding to the housework name according to the housework policy in step S231 can be implemented by the following steps:

[0171] See also Figure 10 , Figure 10 FIG8 is a flow chart of a method for controlling household air conditioning power consumption provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The step of obtaining the air conditioning power consumption quota corresponding to the housework name according to the housework policy in step S231 includes:

[0172] S2312: In response to the approval instructions sent by all second target electronic devices, obtain the air conditioning power usage quota corresponding to the housework name.

[0173] The above steps implement the process in which a family member can obtain the air conditioning electricity quota corresponding to the housework task after completing the corresponding housework task and all other family members have approved it.

[0174] It should be noted that since housework information is also stored in the electronic device, if the electronic device is a mobile phone and the application installed in the mobile phone is an Internet of Things APP for controlling the air conditioner, based on the process of configuring the family member account of the electronic device in the previous article, the housework information can be set by the family member logging into the family administrator account on the mobile phone APP.

[0175] The steps of presetting housework information can be described as follows:

[0176] Step 1: A family member logs in to the family administrator account, creates a new housework task, and sets a name for the task, such as sweeping the floor.

[0177] Step 2. After setting the housework name, you can set the air conditioning electricity quota corresponding to the housework name. For example, set the air conditioning electricity quota corresponding to sweeping to 20 degrees, that is, when the sweeping task is completed, you can get 20 degrees of air conditioning electricity quota.

[0178] Step 3. After setting the air conditioning electricity quota corresponding to the housework name, you can put the housework task on the shelf. Family members can log in to the family member account to see the listed housework tasks and claim the housework tasks.

[0179] Furthermore, based on the above process of setting housework information, the steps of obtaining the air conditioning electricity quota corresponding to the housework name according to the housework policy can be described as follows:

[0180] When a family member logs in to their own family member account, selects the housework task they want to perform from the list of available housework tasks, and sends the task to all other family members for approval after completing it:

[0181] If all other family members approve the task, the mobile phone of the family member will receive the approval information of all family members, and the family member will then obtain the air conditioning electricity quota corresponding to the name of the housework performed.

[0182] Optionally, in order to enhance the cooperation and cohesion among family members, the family-based air conditioning power control method can also enable all family members to receive rewards of different gradients after a power allocation cycle ends based on the gradient incentive information stored in the electronic device. This process can be implemented through the following steps:

[0183] See also Figure 11 , Figure 11 A ninth flow chart of a method for controlling household air conditioning power consumption is shown, wherein the electronic device further stores gradient incentive information, the gradient incentive information including multiple gradient power consumption quotas and incentive information corresponding to each gradient power consumption quota. The method further includes:

[0184] S240: When the gradient excitation mode is turned on, obtain the current date.

[0185] S241 , when the current date is outside the power usage restriction date range, obtaining a total air conditioning power usage quota consumed within the power usage restriction date range based on the air conditioning power usage quotas in the family member accounts of all electronic devices.

[0186] S242: When the total air-conditioning electricity quota consumed within the electricity restriction date range is less than at least one gradient electricity quota, obtain incentive information corresponding to the gradient electricity quota.

[0187] The above steps realize the process of obtaining the incentive information corresponding to a gradient electricity quota if the total air-conditioning electricity consumption of all family members meets the incentive conditions under a gradient electricity quota after the end of an electricity allocation cycle.

[0188] It should be noted that since gradient incentive information is also stored in the electronic device, if the electronic device is a mobile phone and the application installed in the mobile phone is an Internet of Things APP for controlling the air conditioner, based on the previous process of configuring the family member account of the electronic device, the gradient incentive information can be set by the family member logging into the family administrator account on the mobile phone APP.

[0189] The steps of presetting the gradient excitation information can be described as follows:

[0190] Step 1: Family members log in to the family administrator account and set the gradient incentive mode to be on. Only when it is turned on can they obtain the incentive information corresponding to the gradient electricity quota when the current time is outside the electricity restriction date range (that is, after the end of an electricity allocation cycle) and the total air-conditioning electricity consumption of all family members meets the incentive conditions under a certain gradient electricity quota.

[0191] Step 2: Set multiple electricity quotas and corresponding incentives for each quota. For example, let's set the electricity quota for Tier 1 to 300 kWh and the incentive to buy a dishwasher. This means that if the total air conditioning electricity consumption of all family members is less than 300 kWh after the end of an electricity allocation cycle, the family can purchase a dishwasher.

[0192] For another example, the second gradient electricity quota is set to 200 kWh, and the incentive reward is a 5-day trip to Europe for the whole family. If the total electricity consumption of family members is less than 200 kWh, the incentive information is a 5-day trip to Europe. That is, after an electricity allocation cycle, if the total air-conditioning electricity consumption of all family members is less than 200 kWh, then a dishwasher can be purchased for the family, and all family members can also take a 5-day trip to Europe.

[0193] The number of the above-mentioned gradients can be set by the family manager. Similarly, the electricity quota of each gradient and the incentive information corresponding to each gradient electricity quota can also be set by the family manager after consultation and decision by all family members.

[0194] Furthermore, based on the setting process of the gradient incentive information described above, when the total air conditioning electricity consumption of all family members meets the incentive conditions under a certain gradient electricity quota, the steps for obtaining the incentive information corresponding to the gradient electricity quota can be described as follows:

[0195] If the electricity restriction date range set when pre-allocating the air conditioning electricity quota in the family member account before step S210 is 2022-10-01 to 2022-11-01:

[0196] First, when the gradient incentive mode is turned on, obtain the current date. For example, the current date is 2022-11-05 (that is, the current date is outside the power restriction date range). This indicates that a power allocation cycle has ended. At this time, the total air conditioning power consumption quota consumed from 2022-10-01 to 2022-11-01 can be obtained.

[0197] Secondly, if the total air-conditioning electricity consumption quota consumed during the period from 2022-10-01 to 2022-11-01 is less than at least one gradient electricity consumption quota, for example, the total air-conditioning electricity consumption quota consumed during the period from 2022-10-01 to 2022-11-01 is 280 degrees, which is less than the pre-set gradient one electricity consumption quota of 300 degrees. If the incentive information of gradient one is a dishwasher, then the incentive information corresponding to gradient one can be obtained at this time, and family members can purchase a dishwasher for the family.

[0198] Based on the above-mentioned home-based air conditioning power control method, a control system 10 is given below. The control system 10 includes an electronic device 100 and at least one air conditioner 110. The electronic device 100 is used to execute the process steps in the above-mentioned various implementation methods and achieve corresponding technical effects.

[0201] At least one air conditioner 110 is used to respond to the air conditioner 110 power-on instruction sent by the electronic device 100 to execute the operation of the air conditioner 110.
