[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] In the following description, the use of suffixes such as "module," "part," or "unit" to denote elements is solely for the purpose of illustration and has no specific meaning in itself. Therefore, "module" and "part" may be used interchangeably.

[0053] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, according to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, an embodiment of a method for locating an indoor unit of an air conditioner is provided.

[0054] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the above-described method for locating the indoor unit of an air conditioner can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The hardware environment shown consists of multiple indoor air conditioning units 101 and a central controller 103. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the central controller 103 is connected to multiple indoor air conditioning units 101 via a network and can be used to control the parameters of the indoor air conditioning units. The network mentioned above includes, but is not limited to, a wide area network, a metropolitan area network, or a local area network.

[0055] The method for locating an indoor air conditioner unit in this embodiment can be executed by a centralized controller 103.

[0056] The following will describe in detail, with reference to specific embodiments, a method for locating an indoor unit of an air conditioner provided in this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0057] Step 201: Obtain the altitude and room coordinates of each indoor unit sent by each air conditioner indoor unit.

[0058] Each indoor unit of the central air conditioning system is equipped with a barometric pressure sensor to detect its own altitude and transmit this altitude to the central controller via CAN communication. Each indoor unit also has radar to detect room coordinates and transmit these coordinates to the central controller via CAN communication.

[0059] Step 202: Group the indoor units according to their physical floors based on altitude, and determine the physical floor where each indoor unit is located.

[0060] The central controller automatically groups the indoor units according to the physical floor based on the received altitude information of the indoor units. For example, indoor units with an altitude difference of less than 2 meters are grouped together, with each group corresponding to a physical floor. After grouping, a floor diagram is displayed, with the group with the lowest altitude on the bottom floor and the group with the highest altitude on the top floor.

[0061] Step 203: Determine the actual room name of the room where the indoor unit is located based on the room coordinates and user instructions.

[0062] The building where the indoor unit is located can be an office building or a residential building, so users are familiar with the layout and structure of each floor. Each room's coordinates correspond to a room, and users can name the rooms based on these coordinates. In this way, the central controller determines the actual room name of each indoor unit.

[0063] Step 204: Based on the physical floor and the actual room name, display the floor and room name corresponding to the indoor unit in the visualization interface.

[0064] The central controller has a visual interface that displays the floor and room name corresponding to the indoor unit. The display methods include, but are not limited to, the following:

[0065] First, each indoor unit corresponds to a device graphic, which displays the floor and room name corresponding to that indoor unit. The device graphics are arranged sequentially according to floor height, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0066] Second, it includes multiple interface layers. The first layer displays multiple floors, and the second layer displays the room name corresponding to the current floor. This method will be described in detail below, and will not be repeated here.

[0067] For example, the device graphic can be a device card or other graphics.

[0068] Step 205: Locate the indoor unit to be controlled based on the floor and room names in the visualization interface.

[0069] The central controller can locate the indoor unit based on the floor and room name according to the user's search command, and then control the indoor unit.

[0070] In this application, the central controller can receive the altitude and room coordinates sent by each indoor unit, thereby determining the physical floor where the indoor unit is located based on the altitude and the actual room name based on the room coordinates. The floor and room name corresponding to the indoor unit are then displayed on the visual interface. Finally, the indoor unit to be controlled can be found based on the floor and room name in the visual interface, thereby improving the efficiency of indoor unit search.

[0071] As an optional implementation, displaying the floor and room name corresponding to the indoor unit in the visualization interface includes: displaying multiple floor information on the floor display page of the visualization interface according to the physical floor, each floor information including the floor level; after detecting that the target floor information is selected, entering the floor indoor unit management page corresponding to the target floor information; displaying the equipment graphic corresponding to each indoor unit of the floor on the floor indoor unit management page according to the actual room name, wherein the room name corresponding to the indoor unit is displayed on the equipment graphic.

[0072] After the central controller groups the physical floors, it displays multiple floor information entries on the floor display page based on the physical floors. Each floor entry includes the floor level, such as floor 1, floor 2, floor 3, etc. Figure 4 As shown. If a user finds that the actual floor of the indoor unit does not match the automatically identified floor, the user can manually change the floor to which the indoor unit belongs.

[0073] Each floor information, upon receiving a click command, can access its corresponding sub-interface, namely the floor indoor unit management page. If the central controller detects that a target floor information is selected, it will enter the floor indoor unit management page corresponding to that target floor information. The floor indoor unit management page displays the device graphic corresponding to each indoor unit on that floor, and the device graphic shows the room name corresponding to the indoor unit, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0074] By setting up a multi-level interface, it is easier for users to find the indoor unit to be controlled. Compared with the first method, which displays the device graphics of all indoor units on the same interface, the second method can reduce the number of graphics on the central controller, thereby avoiding the problem of the font being too small to read and improving the search efficiency.

[0075] As an optional implementation, the floor information also includes the number of indoor units on the floor and the number of units that are powered on. Displaying the number of units that are powered on on the floor display page includes: obtaining power-on messages and power-off messages sent by the indoor units; and adjusting the number of units that are powered on displayed on the floor display page based on the power-on messages and power-off messages.

[0076] The indoor unit sends a power-on message to the central controller each time it is powered on, and a power-off message to the central controller each time it is powered off. The central controller can adjust the number of units displayed as powered on in the floor plan based on these power-on and power-off messages. For example... Figure 4 As shown, each floor displays the total number of indoor units on that floor and the number of indoor units that are currently powered on. Each floor's information also includes the main switch for that floor, which can be used to turn the indoor units on or off at the same time.

[0077] As an optional implementation, the method further includes: obtaining the dimensions of the room where the indoor unit is located, wherein the dimensions of the room are obtained by the indoor unit through radar; determining the size ratio of the room where each indoor unit is located on the same floor; and displaying the graphic sizes of the equipment graphics on the same floor level in proportion to the size ratio.

[0078] The room where the indoor unit is located is also equipped with radar. The radar can monitor the room size and send the room size to the indoor unit, which then sends the room size to the central controller. The central controller determines the size ratio of different rooms based on the room size corresponding to each indoor unit on the same floor. Then, it displays the graphic size of the equipment in that floor level in proportion to this size ratio. In this way, the relative size of the graphic is the same as the relative size of the room, making it easy for users to quickly find the indoor unit to be controlled based on the graphic size.

[0079] For example, compared to meeting rooms, public office areas are generally larger, and users can quickly find the indoor units in public office areas based on the room size.

[0080] Preferably, the location of the device graphic is also determined based on the actual location of the indoor unit in the room, and users can quickly find the indoor unit to be controlled based on the location of the device graphic.

[0081] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 5 As shown, the device graphic also displays the indoor unit's on / off status and operating parameters, such as set temperature, airflow mode, and control mode. The font size of the displayed content automatically adjusts to the size of the device graphic for a better user experience.

[0082] As an optional implementation, the method further includes: classifying and displaying the device graphics in the floor indoor unit management page according to the same graphic labels based on preset classification conditions, wherein the preset classification conditions include room type or room size, and the graphic labels indicate the category of the room where the indoor unit corresponding to the device graphic is located.

[0083] On the floor unit management page of the centralized controller, multiple indoor units can be selected and categorized within a floor according to preset classification conditions. Then, the equipment graphics corresponding to indoor units of the same category will be displayed according to the same graphic labels.

[0084] The preset classification criteria can be room type, such as grouping bedrooms into one category and meeting rooms into another, allowing for a unified silent mode setting for rooms of that type. The preset classification criteria can also be room size; for example, grouping larger rooms like living rooms and studies into one category, and smaller rooms like kitchens and bathrooms into another, facilitating standardized temperature settings for different room sizes for rapid cooling or heating. The preset classification criteria can be determined based on the actual scenario, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0085] Graphical markers can be color markers or shape markers, etc. Figure 5 The internal graphics are categorized by color, and those belonging to the same category display the same color.

[0086] As an optional implementation, after displaying the device graphic corresponding to each indoor unit in the floor on the floor indoor unit management page, the method further includes: when a target device graphic is detected to be selected, a graphic management pop-up window is displayed on the floor indoor unit management page, wherein the graphic management pop-up window is used to provide a centralized graphic management option and a current graphic management option, the centralized graphic management option indicating that device graphics with the same graphic mark are centrally managed; according to the click instruction received by the graphic management pop-up window, the indoor unit control page corresponding to the device graphic is entered, wherein the indoor unit control page is used to adjust the indoor unit operating parameters.

[0087] When a user selects a graphic of a target device, a graphic management pop-up window will appear. The graphic management pop-up window displays two options, each of which corresponds to a different sub-interface.

[0088] One option is a centralized graphical management option, which allows for centralized management of devices with the same graphical identifier. Selecting this option accesses the indoor unit control page, where the user can adjust the operating parameters of that indoor unit. The operating parameters of other indoor units on the same floor that belong to the same category will also be changed accordingly. Through centralized management, users can centrally control indoor units of the same category, improving control efficiency.

[0089] Another option is the current graphic management option, which indicates that only the graphic of the current device is managed. If this option is selected, the user enters the indoor unit control page and can adjust the operating parameters of the indoor unit, thus enabling individual control of the indoor unit.

[0090] Optionally, this application embodiment also provides a process for locating the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the specific steps of which are as follows.

[0091] After entering the equipment registration and management page, the system requests the altitude of each indoor unit through the central air conditioning communication network. Based on the received altitude of the indoor units, the system automatically groups the indoor units and determines the floor where each indoor unit is located.

[0092] The floor display page shows the total number of indoor units on each floor and the number of indoor units that are currently powered on. There is also a master switch that can be used to turn all the indoor units on or off on that floor.

[0093] Clicking on the corresponding floor will take you to the floor's indoor unit management page. This page displays a graphic of each indoor unit by default. The relative size and position of the graphic correspond one-to-one with the relative size and position of the room where the indoor unit is located. When selecting an indoor unit, users can quickly locate and control it based on the size and position of the graphic. Each graphic displays the corresponding indoor unit's name, on / off status, set temperature, and other quick control buttons. The content displayed within the graphic automatically adjusts its scale to match the graphic's size. Clicking on the graphic will take you to the corresponding indoor unit's control page for comprehensive control.

[0094] Based on the same technical concept, embodiments of this application also provide a device for locating an indoor unit of an air conditioner, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the device includes:

[0095] The acquisition module 601 is used to acquire the altitude and room coordinates of the indoor unit sent by each indoor air conditioner unit.

[0099] The search module 605 is used to find the indoor unit to be controlled based on the floor and room name in the visual interface.

[0100] Optionally, the display module 604 is used for:

[0101] Based on the physical floor level, multiple floor information is displayed on the floor display page of the visualization interface, and each floor information includes the floor level.

[0102] After detecting that the target floor information has been selected, the system will enter the floor unit management page corresponding to the target floor information;

[0103] Based on the actual room name, the floor's indoor unit management page displays the device graphic corresponding to each indoor unit on that floor, with the room name corresponding to the indoor unit shown on the device graphic.

[0107] Optionally, each floor information also includes the main switch corresponding to that floor, and the device is also used for:

[0108] If the main switch is detected to be pressed, all indoor units on that floor will be turned on or off in a centralized manner.

[0109] Optionally, the device is also used for:

[0110] Obtain the dimensions of the room sent by the indoor unit, where the room dimensions are obtained by the indoor unit through radar;

[0111] Determine the size proportions of the rooms where each indoor unit is located on the same floor;

[0112] The graphic sizes of equipment within the same floor level are displayed proportionally according to their dimensions.
