[0042] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the air conditioner structure in the hardware operating environment involved in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner may include: a processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005. The communication bus 1002 is used to enable communication between these components. The user interface 1003 may include a display screen and an input unit such as a keyboard; optionally, the user interface 1003 may also include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface. The network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface (such as a Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface). The memory 1005 may be a high-speed random access memory (RAM) or a stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk drive. The memory 1005 may also optionally be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0045] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the air conditioner and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the memory 1005, which serves as a storage medium, may include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and an air conditioner control program.

[0047] exist Figure 1In the air conditioner shown, the network interface 1004 is mainly used for data communication with the network server; the user interface 1003 is mainly used for data interaction with the user; the processor 1001 and the memory 1005 in the air conditioner of the present invention can be set in the air conditioner, and the air conditioner calls the air conditioner control program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001 and executes the air conditioner control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] This invention provides an air conditioner control method, referring to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of an air conditioner control method according to the present invention.

[0049] In this embodiment, the air conditioner control method includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S10: Receive upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions.

[0051] In this embodiment, the executing entity is the air conditioner control device, which has functions such as data processing, data communication, and program execution. The air conditioner control device can be a tablet, computer, or server, or other computer equipment. Of course, other devices with similar functions can also be used, and this embodiment does not limit this. For ease of explanation, this embodiment uses an air conditioner control device as an example.

[0052] It's important to note that current multi-dimensional parameter adjustments for air conditioners are based on different user scenarios. Depending on the scenario, corresponding parameters are adjusted, such as temperature and humidity. However, this current adjustment method is only scenario-dependent; each parameter's adjustment is independent of others. For example, adjusting humidity doesn't require considering temperature, and there's no inherent correlation between the parameters. In reality, even with a constant humidity level, changes in humidity can affect user comfort. To meet their comfort needs, users must adjust the humidity after adjusting the temperature, requiring them to adjust each parameter individually, which is cumbersome and reduces the user experience.

[0053] In this embodiment, to solve the aforementioned technical problem, when one or more parameters in the multidimensional parameters change, based on the linkage relationship between the parameters, the other parameters in the multidimensional parameters are automatically adjusted according to the already adjusted parameters. That is, when the user adjusts one or more parameters, the other parameters in the multidimensional parameters will automatically adjust in conjunction with the user's adjustment operation. Specifically, refer to... Figure 3 An example is provided to illustrate this solution.

[0054] exist Figure 3 In this embodiment, when the user inputs temperature as the primary parameter, i.e., when the user adjusts the air conditioner's temperature setting, the air outlet speed, humidity level, air purification level, and fresh air setting will be automatically adjusted based on the user's input temperature. Figure 3 (The "fresh" parameter in the text refers to the airflow setting.) If the user inputs the main parameter as the air outlet speed, the air conditioner's humidity, purification, and fresh air settings will be automatically adjusted accordingly. The temperature will remain unchanged according to the previously set parameters. If the user inputs the main parameter as humidity, the air conditioner's purification and fresh air settings will be automatically adjusted accordingly. The temperature and humidity will remain unchanged according to the previously set parameters.

[0055] It should be noted that before performing parameter linkage, it is necessary to determine the linkage combination and the linkage relationship between linkage combinations. In this embodiment, the linkage combination and the linkage relationship between the joint combination can be established according to the upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions input by the user.

[0056] Step S20: Establish the linkage relationship of each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination according to the upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions.

[0057] In specific implementation, this embodiment receives upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions input by the user, and then establishes the linkage relationship of each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination according to the upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions. In this embodiment, the upstream and downstream setting instructions include multiple dimensions that need to be linked and the upstream and downstream relationships. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the upstream and downstream setting instructions include three dimensions such as temperature, air outlet speed, and humidity, as well as the upstream and downstream relationships between these three dimensions. For example, air outlet speed and the parameter corresponding to the downstream dimension of air outlet speed, namely humidity. Another example is the three dimensions of humidity, purification speed, and fresh air speed. Purification speed and fresh air speed are the parameters corresponding to the downstream dimension of humidity.

[0058] Step S30: Receive a dimension adjustment instruction and use the dimension adjusted in the dimension adjustment instruction as the main dimension.

[0059] In specific implementation, after establishing the linkage relationship, this embodiment also adjusts the parameters of the dimension according to the received dimension adjustment command. The downstream dimension includes at least two dimensions. In this embodiment, the downstream dimension corresponding to the main dimension can be selected based on the linkage relationship of each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination. For example, when the main dimension is temperature, the parameters of the corresponding downstream dimension are air outlet speed, humidity, purification speed, and fresh air speed. However, humidity, purification speed, and fresh air speed are downstream dimensions of air outlet speed. In this case, this embodiment uses the dimension corresponding to air outlet speed as the downstream dimension. The specific method can be selected according to the actual needs of the user. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0060] Step S40: If the main dimension has a downstream dimension, obtain the downstream dimension corresponding to the main dimension.

[0061] It should be noted that after the primary dimension is determined, the dimensions corresponding to the other parameters are the downstream dimensions. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the user adjusts the temperature parameter, the dimension corresponding to the temperature parameter is the primary dimension, and the dimensions corresponding to other parameters (air outlet speed, humidity, purification speed, and fresh air speed) are the downstream dimensions.

[0062] Furthermore, not all main dimensions have corresponding downstream dimensions. Therefore, before determining the downstream dimensions, it is necessary to first determine whether the current main dimension has a corresponding downstream dimension. For example, if the parameter of the main dimension is the purification level or the fresh air level, it is determined that the main dimension does not have a downstream dimension. In this case, in this embodiment, it can also be determined that the parameters of all downstream dimensions of the main dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination have been adjusted, and then the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the adjusted parameters.

[0063] It is easy to understand that if the dimension being adjusted in the received dimension adjustment instruction has a downstream dimension, then the dimension being adjusted in the dimension adjustment instruction is taken as the main dimension, and then subsequent parameter linkage adjustments are performed based on the linkage relationship. If the dimension being adjusted in the received dimension adjustment instruction does not have a downstream dimension, this embodiment can also remind the user to re-enter the parameters of the main dimension.

[0064] Step S50: Determine the parameters of the downstream dimension based on the linkage relationship of each dimension.

[0065] In specific implementation, after determining the downstream dimension corresponding to the main dimension, this embodiment further determines the parameters of the downstream dimension. For example, when the parameter of the main dimension is temperature, the parameter of the downstream dimension can be determined as the air outlet speed based on the linkage relationship. Similarly, when the parameter of the main dimension is the air outlet speed, the parameter of the downstream dimension can be determined as the humidity based on the linkage relationship.

[0066] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the parameters of downstream dimensions are adjusted based on the parameters of the primary dimension. After adjusting the parameters of the first downstream dimension, this embodiment uses the user's primary dimension and the already adjusted downstream dimension as the new primary dimension. Then, based on the parameters of the new primary dimension, the parameters of the second downstream dimension are adjusted in a linked manner until the parameters of all dimensions are adjusted. For example, if the dimension corresponding to the temperature parameter is the primary dimension, then the air outlet speed corresponds to the first downstream dimension, the humidity parameter corresponds to the second downstream dimension, the purification speed corresponds to the third downstream dimension, and the fresh air speed corresponds to the fourth downstream dimension. After adjusting the air outlet speed in a linked manner based on the temperature parameter, the dimensions corresponding to the temperature parameter and the air outlet speed are used as the new primary dimension, and then the humidity parameter corresponding to the second downstream dimension is adjusted in a linked manner.

[0067] Furthermore, after adjusting the parameters of all dimensions, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate according to the adjusted parameters to meet the user's comfort needs. That is, after all the parameters of all dimensions in the multi-dimensional linkage combination have been adjusted, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate.

[0068] This embodiment receives upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions, which include multiple dimensions to be linked and their upstream and downstream relationships; establishes the linkage relationship between each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination according to the upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions; receives dimension adjustment instructions and takes the dimension to be adjusted in the dimension adjustment instructions as the main dimension; if the main dimension has a downstream dimension, obtains the downstream dimension corresponding to the main dimension; determines the parameters of the downstream dimension according to the linkage relationship of each dimension, and automatically links the parameters of the downstream dimension based on the parameters of the main dimension, eliminating the need for the user to adjust the parameters of each dimension one by one, simplifying user operation, improving the adjustment efficiency of multi-dimensional combinations, and enhancing the user experience.

[0069] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of an air conditioner control method according to the present invention.

[0070] Based on the first embodiment described above, in the air conditioner control method of this embodiment, step S30 specifically includes:

[0071] Step S301: Determine the adjustment rules for each dimension based on the linkage relationship between each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination.

[0072] It should be noted that after determining the linkage relationship between each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination, the adjustment rules for each dimension can be determined based on this linkage relationship.

[0073] Step S302: Adjust the parameters of the downstream dimension according to the adjustment rules of each dimension and the parameters corresponding to the main dimension.

[0074] In practice, the linkage standards for each dimension are different. In this embodiment, the parameters of the downstream dimension can be adjusted according to the different adjustment rules of each dimension, and in combination with the parameters of all dimensions that have been adjusted.

[0075] In practical implementation, for example, when the primary input parameter is temperature, the downstream parameter that needs to be adjusted is the air outlet speed. The adjustment rule for the air outlet speed is based on temperature changes, further increasing or decreasing the air conditioner's cooling or heating capacity. For instance, when the air conditioner is cooling, if the user-inputted primary temperature rises, it indicates the user feels cold, and the air outlet speed is lowered to reduce the air conditioner's cooling capacity. Conversely, if the user-inputted primary temperature falls, it indicates the user feels hot, and the air outlet speed is raised to increase the air conditioner's cooling capacity.

[0076] In this embodiment, there are also corresponding adjustment rules for other dimensions. For example, when adjusting humidity based on temperature and air outlet speed, the adjustment rule is based on the user's own comfort. When adjusting the fresh air speed based on temperature, air outlet speed, and humidity, the adjustment rule is based on the stability of multi-dimensional air quality indicators.

[0077] Furthermore, the linkage relationships between linked combinations and joint combinations can be established based on the upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions input by the user.

[0078] In specific implementation, this embodiment receives upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions input by the user, and then controls the air conditioner to enter the linkage setting mode according to the downstream dimension setting instructions. After the air conditioner enters the linkage setting mode, it obtains the multi-dimensional air parameters to be linked in the linkage setting mode. The multi-dimensional air parameters to be linked include temperature, humidity, air outlet speed, purification speed, and fresh air speed. Then, it obtains the first-dimensional parameter according to the first-dimensional parameter selection instruction, and finally determines the second-dimensional parameter corresponding to the first-dimensional parameter based on the preset linkage rules. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the first dimension parameter is temperature, the second dimension parameter can be determined as air outlet speed and humidity. Similarly, when the first dimension parameter is air outlet speed, the second dimension parameter can be determined as humidity. And when the first dimension parameter is humidity, the second dimension parameter can be determined as purification speed and fresh air speed.

[0079] In specific implementation, after obtaining Figure 3 After illustrating the multiple dimensions and upstream / downstream relationships shown, this embodiment can use a topological sorting algorithm to determine whether the linkage relationship between the first and second dimension parameters is a directed acyclic relationship. Figure 3The diagram shows a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Multi-dimensional linkage relationships are established based on this DAG. If a cycle exists within the directed graph, the linkage relationship is considered unsuccessful, and a new DAG is created.

[0080] This embodiment adjusts the parameters of the downstream dimension according to the adjustment rules of each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination and the parameters of all the main dimensions that have been adjusted. It adjusts the parameters of the downstream dimension according to different adjustment rules corresponding to different dimensions, and uses a topological sorting algorithm to determine the directed acyclic relationship, ensuring that the established relationship is a directed acyclic relationship. This makes the adjustment of the parameters of the downstream dimension more accurate and reasonable, and can meet the user's comfort needs.

[0081] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also proposes a storage medium storing an air conditioner control program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the air conditioner control method described above.

[0082] Since this storage medium adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0083] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a structural block diagram of the first embodiment of the air conditioner control device of the present invention.

[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner control device proposed in this embodiment of the invention includes:

[0085] The receiving module 10 is used to receive upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions, which include multiple dimensions that need to be linked and upstream and downstream relationships.

[0086] It's important to note that current multi-dimensional parameter adjustments for air conditioners are based on different user scenarios. Depending on the scenario, corresponding parameters are adjusted, such as temperature and humidity. However, this current adjustment method is only scenario-dependent; each parameter's adjustment is independent of others. For example, adjusting humidity doesn't require considering temperature, and there's no inherent correlation between the parameters. In reality, even with a constant humidity level, changes in humidity can affect user comfort. To meet their comfort needs, users must adjust the humidity after adjusting the temperature, requiring them to adjust each parameter individually, which is cumbersome and reduces the user experience.

[0087] In this embodiment, to solve the aforementioned technical problem, when one or more parameters in the multidimensional parameters change, based on the linkage relationship between the parameters, the other parameters in the multidimensional parameters are automatically adjusted according to the already adjusted parameters. That is, when the user adjusts one or more parameters, the other parameters in the multidimensional parameters will automatically adjust in conjunction with the user's adjustment operation. Specifically, refer to... Figure 3 An example is provided to illustrate this solution.

[0088] exist Figure 3 In this embodiment, when the user inputs temperature as the primary parameter, i.e., when the user adjusts the air conditioner's temperature setting, the air outlet speed, humidity level, air purification level, and fresh air setting will be automatically adjusted based on the user's input temperature. Figure 3 (The "fresh" parameter in the text refers to the airflow setting.) If the user inputs the main parameter as the air outlet speed, the air conditioner's humidity, purification, and fresh air settings will be automatically adjusted accordingly. The temperature will remain unchanged according to the previously set parameters. If the user inputs the main parameter as humidity, the air conditioner's purification and fresh air settings will be automatically adjusted accordingly. The temperature and humidity will remain unchanged according to the previously set parameters.

[0089] It should be noted that before performing parameter linkage, it is necessary to determine the linkage combination and the linkage relationship between linkage combinations. In this embodiment, the linkage combination and the linkage relationship between the joint combination can be established according to the upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions input by the user.

[0090] The construction module 20 is used to establish the linkage relationship of each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination according to the upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions.

[0091] In specific implementation, this embodiment receives upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions input by the user, and then establishes the linkage relationship of each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination according to the upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions. In this embodiment, the upstream and downstream setting instructions include multiple dimensions that need to be linked and the upstream and downstream relationships. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the upstream and downstream setting instructions include three dimensions such as temperature, air outlet speed, and humidity, as well as the upstream and downstream relationships between these three dimensions. For example, air outlet speed and the parameter corresponding to the downstream dimension of air outlet speed, namely humidity. Another example is the three dimensions of humidity, purification speed, and fresh air speed. Purification speed and fresh air speed are the parameters corresponding to the downstream dimension of humidity.

[0092] The receiving module 30 is used to receive a dimension adjustment instruction and take the dimension adjusted in the dimension adjustment instruction as the main dimension.

[0093] In specific implementation, after establishing the linkage relationship, this embodiment also adjusts the parameters of the dimension according to the received dimension adjustment command. The downstream dimension includes at least two dimensions. In this embodiment, the downstream dimension corresponding to the main dimension can be selected based on the linkage relationship of each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination. For example, when the main dimension is temperature, the parameters of the corresponding downstream dimension are air outlet speed, humidity, purification speed, and fresh air speed. However, humidity, purification speed, and fresh air speed are downstream dimensions of air outlet speed. In this case, this embodiment uses the dimension corresponding to air outlet speed as the downstream dimension. The specific method can be selected according to the actual needs of the user. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0094] The acquisition module 40 is used to acquire the downstream dimension corresponding to the main dimension if the main dimension has a downstream dimension.

[0095] It should be noted that after the primary dimension is determined, the dimensions corresponding to the other parameters are the downstream dimensions. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the user adjusts the temperature parameter, the dimension corresponding to the temperature parameter is the primary dimension, and the dimensions corresponding to other parameters (air outlet speed, humidity, purification speed, and fresh air speed) are the downstream dimensions.

[0096] Furthermore, not all main dimensions have corresponding downstream dimensions. Therefore, before determining the downstream dimensions, it is necessary to first determine whether the current main dimension has a corresponding downstream dimension. For example, if the parameter of the main dimension is the purification level or the fresh air level, it is determined that the main dimension does not have a downstream dimension. In this case, in this embodiment, it can also be determined that the parameters of all downstream dimensions of the main dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination have been adjusted, and then the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the adjusted parameters.

[0097] It is easy to understand that if the dimension being adjusted in the received dimension adjustment instruction has a downstream dimension, then the dimension being adjusted in the dimension adjustment instruction is taken as the main dimension, and then subsequent parameter linkage adjustments are performed based on the linkage relationship. If the dimension being adjusted in the received dimension adjustment instruction does not have a downstream dimension, this embodiment can also remind the user to re-enter the parameters of the main dimension.

[0098] The processing module 50 is used to determine the parameters of the downstream dimension based on the linkage relationship of each dimension.

[0099] In specific implementation, after determining the downstream dimension corresponding to the main dimension, this embodiment further determines the parameters of the downstream dimension. For example, when the parameter of the main dimension is temperature, the parameter of the downstream dimension can be determined as the air outlet speed based on the linkage relationship. Similarly, when the parameter of the main dimension is the air outlet speed, the parameter of the downstream dimension can be determined as the humidity based on the linkage relationship.

[0100] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the parameters of downstream dimensions are adjusted based on the parameters of the primary dimension. After adjusting the parameters of the first downstream dimension, this embodiment uses the user's primary dimension and the already adjusted downstream dimension as the new primary dimension. Then, based on the parameters of the new primary dimension, the parameters of the second downstream dimension are adjusted in a linked manner until the parameters of all dimensions are adjusted. For example, if the dimension corresponding to the temperature parameter is the primary dimension, then the air outlet speed corresponds to the first downstream dimension, the humidity parameter corresponds to the second downstream dimension, the purification speed corresponds to the third downstream dimension, and the fresh air speed corresponds to the fourth downstream dimension. After adjusting the air outlet speed in a linked manner based on the temperature parameter, the dimensions corresponding to the temperature parameter and the air outlet speed are used as the new primary dimension, and then the humidity parameter corresponding to the second downstream dimension is adjusted in a linked manner.

[0101] Furthermore, after adjusting the parameters of all dimensions, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate according to the adjusted parameters to meet the user's comfort needs. That is, after all the parameters of all dimensions in the multi-dimensional linkage combination have been adjusted, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate.

[0102] This embodiment receives upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions, which include multiple dimensions to be linked and their upstream and downstream relationships; establishes the linkage relationship between each dimension in the multi-dimensional linkage combination according to the upstream and downstream dimension setting instructions; receives dimension adjustment instructions and takes the dimension to be adjusted in the dimension adjustment instructions as the main dimension; if the main dimension has a downstream dimension, obtains the downstream dimension corresponding to the main dimension; determines the parameters of the downstream dimension according to the linkage relationship of each dimension, and automatically links the parameters of the downstream dimension based on the parameters of the main dimension, eliminating the need for the user to adjust the parameters of each dimension one by one, simplifying user operation, improving the adjustment efficiency of multi-dimensional combinations, and enhancing the user experience.

In specific applications, those skilled in the art can make settings as needed, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0104] It should be noted that the workflow described above is merely illustrative and does not limit the scope of protection of this invention.
