[0039] The air conditioner control method with indoor fusion positioning technology increases the indoor positioning technology of WIFI and Bluetooth, which is applied to the indoor unit, the remote controller and the user APP. Through the newly added position sensor and the broadcast voice module, the position of the indoor unit, the remote controller and the user APP is moved according to the position of the remote controller and the user in the moving process. The position coordinates can be fused through WIFI and / or Bluetooth, and real-time intelligent operation is performed. When the relative distance between the three exceeds the preset threshold, the indoor unit, the remote controller or the user APP makes a corresponding preset voice broadcast operation. In the example of the present application, the user APP is a hardware that can reflect the user's position and can operate or a software installed on the hardware.

[0041] The air conditioner control method with indoor fusion positioning technology increases the indoor positioning technology of WIFI and Bluetooth, which is applied to the indoor unit, the remote controller and the user APP. Through the newly added position sensor and the broadcast voice module, the position of the indoor unit, the remote controller and the user APP is moved according to the position of the remote controller and the user in the moving process. The position coordinates can be fused through WIFI and / or Bluetooth, and real-time intelligent operation is performed. When the relative distance between the three exceeds the preset threshold, the indoor unit, the remote controller or the user APP makes a corresponding preset voice broadcast operation. In the example of the present application, the user APP is a hardware that can reflect the user's position and can operate or a software installed on the hardware.

[0042] As a preferred example of the present application, the indoor unit-remote controller-user forms a triangular position for positioning calculation, and the indoor unit, the remote controller and the user APP are measured by WIFI and Bluetooth signal strength, and the position signal is calculated by weighted fusion.

[0043] Since the single WIFI / Bluetooth signal strength is easy to be interfered, the WIFI and Bluetooth signal strengths are measured by multi-lateral measurement, and the weighted fusion calculation position signal is adopted to make the position information positioning more accurate, thereby ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the air conditioner control method with the indoor fusion positioning technology.
