[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or server that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0050] As mentioned above, currently, the multiple adjustment dimensions of air conditioning equipment can only be controlled individually, resulting in low control efficiency and a poor user experience.

[0051] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the embodiments of the present invention provide a linkage control scheme. Specifically, when entering the linkage mode, in response to the control command for the first adjustment dimension among the multiple adjustment dimensions of the air conditioning device, the activated adjustment dimensions other than the first adjustment dimension among the multiple adjustment dimensions are controlled while controlling the first adjustment dimension.

[0052] For example, the technical solution of the present invention can be applied to the following scenarios, but is not limited thereto:

[0053] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the application scenario may include an air conditioning device 110 and a remote control 120, wherein the user can operate the remote control 120 to remotely control the air conditioning device 110.

[0054] Optionally, the remote control 120 can be an infrared remote control, which has an infrared transmitting unit. The air conditioning device 110 can have an infrared receiving unit. The infrared remote control transmits infrared signals to the air conditioning device 110 through the infrared transmitting unit, and the air conditioning device 110 receives the infrared signals through the infrared receiving unit, thereby realizing remote control of the air conditioning device 110.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the application scenario may include an air conditioning device 210 and a terminal device 220. The terminal device 220 may have an application (APP) installed on it for controlling the air conditioning device 210. Users can operate the APP to remotely control the air conditioning device 210.

[0056] Optionally, the terminal device can be a mobile phone, computer, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0057] It should be understood that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air conditioning equipment can be wall-mounted or cabinet-type.

[0058] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating another application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 3 As shown, this application scenario can include: an air conditioning device equipped with a touch panel, which allows users to control the air conditioning device through operations on the touch panel.

[0059] It should be understood that the present invention is also applicable to scenarios such as voice or gesture control of air conditioning equipment.

[0060] The technical solution of this invention will be described in detail below:

[0061] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioning device according to an embodiment of the present invention. This method can be executed by the air conditioning device, which can be a cabinet-type air conditioning device or a wall-mounted air conditioning device, etc. Figure 4 As shown, the method may include:

[0062] S410: Switching from normal mode to linkage mode of the air conditioning unit;

[0063] S420: Determine the current value of the first adjustment dimension among the multiple adjustment dimensions of the air conditioning device;

[0064] S430: Control the second adjustment dimension based on the current value of the first adjustment dimension.

[0065] It should be understood that the normal mode, also known as the non-linked mode, refers to a mode where multiple adjustment dimensions are controlled independently. This means that when a user controls one adjustment dimension, the other dimensions are not controlled in conjunction with it. For example, in normal mode, when a user adjusts the temperature, other adjustment dimensions such as fan speed, humidity, air purification, and fresh air intake will not change.

[0066] It should be understood that the linkage mode refers to the air conditioning device controlling the other activated adjustment dimensions among the multiple adjustment dimensions when it receives a control command for the first adjustment dimension among multiple adjustment dimensions, while controlling the first adjustment dimension. The first adjustment dimension can be any one of the multiple adjustment dimensions.

[0067] It should be understood that the second adjustment dimension is any one of the enabled adjustment dimensions other than the first adjustment dimension among the plurality of adjustment dimensions.

[0068] Optionally, the control commands mentioned above can be start commands, stop commands, or adjustment commands.

[0069] Optionally, the adjustment command is used to adjust the size of the corresponding adjustment dimension, such as adjusting the temperature, wind speed, humidity, fresh air, and purification level.

[0070] Optionally, in a linkage mode, the air conditioning device may, in response to an activation command for the first adjustment dimension, control the second adjustment dimension to change while controlling the first adjustment dimension, when the priority of the second adjustment dimension is lower than that of the first adjustment dimension.

[0071] For example, suppose there are five adjustment dimensions: temperature, wind speed, humidity, purification, and fresh air. All of these adjustment dimensions are enabled, and temperature adjustment is the first adjustment dimension, which has higher priority than the other adjustment dimensions. Then, when the user adjusts the temperature adjustment dimension, the air conditioning device can adjust the wind speed, humidity, purification, and fresh air adjustment dimensions in conjunction.

[0072] Optionally, in linkage mode, the air conditioning equipment can respond to an adjustment command for the first adjustment dimension and control the second adjustment dimension to change accordingly.

[0073] For example, suppose there are five adjustment dimensions: temperature, wind speed, humidity, purification, and fresh air. All of these adjustment dimensions are enabled. When the user adjusts the temperature adjustment dimension, the air conditioning device can adjust the wind speed, humidity, purification, and fresh air adjustment dimensions in conjunction.

[0074] The linkage mode can be illustrated with the following examples: For instance, when a user adjusts the temperature setting, the fan speed setting, which is already enabled, will also be automatically adjusted. Similarly, when a user enables the fan speed setting, the humidity setting, which is already enabled, will also be automatically adjusted. Furthermore, when a user disables the humidity setting, the enabled settings will remain unchanged.

[0075] Optionally, the linkage mode applies to multiple adjustment dimensions, which can be system defaults. These multiple adjustment dimensions can all have linkage relationships, or they can have partial linkage relationships and partial non-linkage relationships.

[0076] Optionally, the multiple adjustment dimensions may include, but are not limited to, temperature, fan speed, humidity, purification, and fresh air adjustment dimensions. The fan speed adjustment dimension here may include situations where there is no wind. The humidity adjustment dimension may include humidification and dehumidification.

[0077] Optionally, the air conditioning device may switch from the normal mode to the linkage mode in response to a first mode switching command, the first mode switching command being used to trigger the air conditioning device to switch from the normal mode to the linkage mode.

[0078] Optionally, the first mode switching instruction may include, but is not limited to, the following:

[0079] In scenario one, the air conditioning equipment can receive an operation to activate the linkage mode and, in response to this operation, generate a first mode switching command.

[0080] For example, assuming the air conditioner is currently in normal mode, when the user clicks or touches the linkage button on the remote control or touch panel, or clicks or triggers the power-on icon on the app, the air conditioner can switch from normal mode to linkage mode. Alternatively, the user can also trigger the air conditioner to switch from normal mode to linkage mode through voice, gestures, or posture.

[0081] In scenario two, the air conditioning device can receive a shutdown operation for the normal mode; in response to the shutdown operation, it generates the first mode switching command.

[0082] For example, assuming the air conditioner is currently in normal mode, when the user turns off the normal mode button on the remote control or touch panel, or turns off the normal mode icon in the app, the air conditioner can be triggered to switch from normal mode to linked mode. Alternatively, the user can also turn off normal mode via voice, gesture, or other means, thereby triggering the air conditioner to switch from normal mode to linked mode.

[0083] Scenario 3: The air conditioning device receives a selection command and a linkage command for at least one adjustment dimension, and in response to the selection command and linkage command, switches from normal mode to linkage mode.

[0084] For example, assuming the air conditioning device is currently in normal mode, when the user selects five adjustment dimensions—temperature, fan speed, humidity, purification, and fresh air—and then clicks the linkage icon or button, the air conditioning device will switch from normal mode to linkage mode.

[0085] Optionally, in scenario three, assuming the user selects multiple adjustment dimensions, the air conditioning device can determine whether the maximum interval between the selection instructions for the multiple adjustment dimensions is less than a preset duration. If it is less than the preset duration, the air conditioning device will activate its linkage mode in response to the selection instructions and linkage instructions.

[0086] Optionally, the preset duration can be 5 seconds or 10 seconds, etc., and the present invention does not limit it.

[0087] It should be understood that the reason for setting this preset duration is to reduce misjudgments by the air conditioning device. For example, suppose there is no preset duration, and the user selects the fresh air adjustment dimension at time t, and half an hour later, the user selects the temperature, humidity, and fan speed adjustment dimensions. Then the user can click or touch the linkage button or icon, etc. In fact, the user expects the temperature, humidity, and fan speed adjustment dimensions to be linked. However, without a preset duration, the air conditioning device may link all four adjustment dimensions (fresh air, temperature, humidity, and fan speed).

[0088] The following example illustrates the maximum interval for selection commands: Suppose a user selects three adjustment dimensions: temperature, humidity, and wind speed, and their corresponding selection times are t, t+1s, and t+2s, respectively. Then, the maximum interval for selection commands for these three adjustment dimensions is t+2-t=2s.

[0089] When an air conditioning unit switches from normal mode to linked mode, at least one adjustment dimension will be activated. The following is an explanation of the activated adjustment dimension:

[0090] Optionally, when the air conditioning device switches from normal mode to linkage mode, the at least one adjustment dimension activated by the air conditioning device can be any of the following, but not limited to: the adjustment dimension that the system needs to activate by default; the adjustment dimension that was historically activated in linkage mode; the adjustment dimension activated in normal mode; or the adjustment dimension that needs to be activated based on the current environment.

[0091] For example, the system defaults to enabling five adjustment dimensions: temperature, humidity, fan speed, purification, and fresh air. Based on this, when the air conditioning device receives the first mode switching command, it can automatically enable these five adjustment dimensions.

[0092] For example, the system defaults to enabling the temperature and fan speed adjustment dimensions. Based on this, when the air conditioning device receives the first mode switching command, it can automatically enable these two adjustment dimensions.

[0093] For example, suppose the user last activated the three adjustment dimensions of temperature, humidity, and fan speed in the linkage mode. Based on this, when the air conditioning device receives the first mode switching command, it can automatically activate these three adjustment dimensions.

[0094] For example, air conditioning equipment can collect current environmental data, such as temperature, humidity, and pollution index. Furthermore, the air conditioning equipment can determine the adjustment dimensions that need to be activated based on this current environmental data. Based on this, when the air conditioning equipment receives the first mode switching command, it can automatically activate these adjustment dimensions that need to be activated.

[0095] For example, suppose that after the air conditioning device is turned on, it first enters the normal mode. In the normal mode, suppose the user turns on both the temperature and fan speed adjustment dimensions. When the air conditioning device receives the first mode switching command, it can automatically turn on both the temperature and fan speed adjustment dimensions.

[0096] Optionally, when the air conditioning unit has not been used, upon receiving a first mode switching command, the air conditioning unit can activate the system's default adjustment dimension or an adjustment dimension determined based on the current environment. When the air conditioning unit has been used, upon receiving a power-on command or linkage command, the air conditioning unit can activate the system's default adjustment dimension, or a previously activated adjustment dimension in linkage mode, or an adjustment dimension activated in normal mode, or an adjustment dimension determined based on the current environment.

[0097] Optionally, the air conditioning unit may push a first notification message to inform the user that the air conditioning unit has entered the linkage mode.

[0098] It should be understood that the aforementioned first prompt message is used to inform the user that the air conditioning device has entered the linkage mode.

[0099] Optionally, the first prompt message may be any of the following, but not limited to: the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode is lit; the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode is constantly lit for a first preset duration; the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode displays a first preset color; the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode displays a first preset color and is constantly lit for a first preset duration; the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode flashes according to a first preset mode, and a voice message is sent.

[0100] Optionally, the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode can be set in the cabinet touch panel or the wall-mounted display panel.

[0101] Optionally, there may be one or more indicator lights corresponding to the linkage mode.

[0102] Optionally, the first preset duration can be 10 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.

[0103] Optionally, the first preset color can be blue, green, or red, etc.

[0104] Optionally, the first preset flashing mode can be flashing once every N seconds, where N is a positive integer, or the interval between two adjacent flashes can be 1s, 2s, 1s, 2s, etc.

[0105] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, this interface displays the icon corresponding to the linkage mode. This icon indicates that the indicator light for the linkage mode is lit, meaning that the linkage mode has been activated. Of course, only one of these two icons needs to be present. Figure 6 As shown, the icon for the linkage mode is not displayed on this interface, indicating that the linkage mode has been turned off.

[0106] For example, if the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode stays on for 10 minutes, it means that the linkage mode has been turned on; if the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode goes out, it means that the linkage mode has been turned off.

[0107] For example, if the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode is green, it means that the linkage mode has been turned on; if the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode is off or red, it means that the linkage mode has been turned off.

[0108] For example, if the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode is green and lasts for 10 minutes, it means that the linkage mode has been turned on. If the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode is off or turns red, it means that the linkage mode has been turned off.

[0109] For example, the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode flashes once every 2 seconds to indicate that the linkage mode has been turned on, and the indicator light corresponding to the linkage mode is off or turns red to indicate that the linkage mode has been turned off.

[0110] For example, air conditioning equipment can also use voice broadcast to announce to users: "Linkage mode is activated" indicates that the linkage mode is activated.

[0111] To help users distinguish which adjustment dimensions are on and which are off, in this embodiment of the invention, the air conditioning device can push a third or fourth prompt message for each of the multiple adjustment dimensions. The third prompt message is used to inform the user that the corresponding adjustment dimension is on, and the fourth prompt message is used to inform the user that the corresponding adjustment dimension is off.

[0112] Optionally, for any one of the multiple adjustment dimensions, the corresponding third prompt information can be any of the following, but not limited to: the indicator light corresponding to the adjustment dimension displays a third preset color; the indicator light corresponding to the adjustment dimension displays a third preset color and remains on for a third preset duration; the indicator light corresponding to the adjustment dimension flashes according to a third preset mode.

[0113] Optionally, the indicator light corresponding to this adjustment dimension can be set in the cabinet touch panel or the wall-mounted display panel.

[0114] Optionally, there may be one or more indicator lights corresponding to this adjustment dimension.

[0115] Optionally, the third preset duration can be 1 second or 2 seconds, etc.

[0116] Optionally, the third preset color can be white, blue, green, or red, etc.

[0117] Optionally, the third preset flashing mode can be flashing once every P seconds, where P is a positive integer, or the interval between two adjacent flashes can be 2s, 1s, 2s, 1s, etc.

[0118] Optionally, for any one of the multiple adjustment dimensions, the corresponding fourth prompt message is any one of the following, but not limited to: the indicator light corresponding to the adjustment dimension is off; the indicator light corresponding to the adjustment dimension displays a fourth preset color.

[0119] Optionally, the fourth preset color can be red, purple, etc.

[0120] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the striped box indicates that the indicator light is white, meaning the corresponding adjustment dimension is on; the blank box indicates that the indicator light is off, meaning the corresponding adjustment dimension is off. Therefore, we can conclude that... Figure 5 The results show that the current temperature and fan speed adjustment dimensions are on, while the humidity, purification, and fresh air adjustment dimensions are off.

[0121] Optionally, to facilitate users in knowing the progress of each of the multiple adjustment dimensions, the air conditioning device can also display the current progress of any one of the adjustment dimensions when that adjustment dimension is in the on state.

[0122] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the white stripe indicates that the corresponding adjustment dimension is on, and the length of the stripe indicates the current progress of the adjustment dimension.

[0123] It should be understood that, in Figure 7 The system uses a single indicator light to simultaneously show the on / off status and current progress of an adjustment dimension. However, different indicator lights can also be used to indicate the on / off status and current progress of an adjustment dimension.

[0124] For example, such as Figure 8As shown, the striped frame indicates that the indicator light is white, meaning that the corresponding adjustment dimension is in the active state, while the shadow height indicates the current progress of the adjustment dimension.

[0125] It should be understood that, Figure 8 The indicator lights, represented by striped boxes, indicate the on / off status of the adjustment dimension, while the shaded areas indicate the current progress of the adjustment. Alternatively, the shaded areas could indicate the on / off status, and the striped boxes could indicate the current progress. Or, both indicators could simultaneously indicate the on / off status and the current progress.

[0126] Assuming the air conditioning unit can default to a primary control dimension, or the user can set a primary control dimension, after switching from normal mode to linked mode, other active control dimensions can be controlled based on this primary control dimension. Alternatively, after switching from normal mode to linked mode, other active control dimensions can be controlled based on the highest priority active control dimension. The aforementioned first control dimension can be either the primary control dimension or the highest priority active control dimension. The primary control dimension can be either active or inactive.

[0127] In order to allow users to intuitively understand which adjustment dimension is the first adjustment dimension, in this embodiment of the invention, the air conditioning device can push a second prompt message for the first adjustment dimension, so as to prompt the user that the first adjustment dimension is the main adjustment dimension or the highest priority adjustment dimension that has been turned on.

[0128] Optionally, the second prompt message may be any of the following, but not limited to: the indicator light corresponding to the first adjustment dimension displays a second preset color; the indicator light corresponding to the first adjustment dimension displays a second preset color and remains on for a second preset duration; the indicator light corresponding to the first adjustment dimension flashes according to a second preset mode.

[0129] Optionally, the indicator light corresponding to the first adjustment dimension can be set in the cabinet touch panel or the wall-mounted display panel.

[0130] Optionally, there may be one or more indicator lights corresponding to the first adjustment dimension.

[0131] Optionally, the second preset duration can be 3 seconds or 5 seconds, etc.

[0132] Optionally, the second preset color can be blue, green, or red, etc.

[0133] Optionally, the second preset flashing mode can be flashing once every M seconds, where M is a positive integer, or the interval between two adjacent flashes can be 1s, 3s, 1s, 3s, etc.

[0134] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, assuming temperature adjustment is the primary adjustment dimension, when the air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode, the indicator light corresponding to this temperature adjustment dimension can turn blue and remain so for 1 second. Figure 9 The indicator light is highlighted in blue by a black dot box.

[0135] Optionally, the air conditioning unit can also display the current progress of the first adjustment dimension.

[0136] For example, such as Figure 10 As shown, assuming temperature adjustment is the primary adjustment dimension, when the air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode, the indicator light corresponding to this temperature adjustment dimension can turn blue and remain so for 1 second. Figure 10 The indicator light is blue, indicated by a black dot box, and the change in the length of the black dot box indicates the current progress of the temperature adjustment dimension.

[0137] For example, such as Figure 11 As shown, assuming temperature adjustment is the primary adjustment dimension, when the air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode, the indicator light corresponding to this temperature adjustment dimension can turn blue and remain so for 1 second. Figure 11 The indicator light is blue, indicated by a black dot box, and the height change of the shaded area indicates the current progress of the temperature adjustment dimension.

[0138] It should be understood that, Figure 11 In the diagram, a black dotted box represents the primary temperature adjustment dimension, and a shaded area represents the current progress of that dimension. Alternatively, the shaded area could represent the primary temperature adjustment dimension, and the change in the length of the striped box could represent the current progress. Or, both parts could simultaneously indicate whether the temperature adjustment dimension is the primary dimension or its current progress.

[0139] It should be understood that the current value of the first adjustment dimension is used to determine the adjusted value corresponding to the second adjustment dimension. The second adjustment dimension is any one of the enabled adjustment dimensions other than the first adjustment dimension.

[0140] As mentioned above, the first adjustment dimension can be either the primary adjustment dimension or the highest-priority enabled adjustment dimension. The primary adjustment dimension can be either enabled or disabled.

[0141] Optionally, if the first adjustment dimension is an enabled adjustment dimension, the air conditioning device determines that the current value of the first adjustment dimension is the current enabled value of the first adjustment dimension; if the first adjustment dimension is a disabled adjustment dimension, the air conditioning device determines that the current value of the first adjustment dimension is the value of the first adjustment dimension in the current environment.

[0142] For example, assuming that the temperature adjustment dimension is a main adjustment dimension, the temperature adjustment dimension is in an enabled state, and the current enabled temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, then the current value of the temperature adjustment dimension is 25 degrees Celsius. Assuming that the temperature adjustment dimension is a main adjustment dimension but the temperature adjustment dimension is in a disabled state, the air conditioning device may collect the current environment through a sensor. If the indoor temperature is 20 degrees Celsius, then the current value of the temperature adjustment dimension is 20 degrees Celsius.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the air conditioning device switches from the normal mode to the linkage mode, a linkage control process is triggered, that is, the air conditioning device determines the current value of the first adjustment dimension among the plurality of adjustment dimensions of the air conditioning device; and controls enabled adjustment dimensions other than the first adjustment dimension among the plurality of adjustment dimensions based on the current value of the first adjustment dimension. This linkage control method can improve control efficiency, thereby improving user experience.

[0144] Further, the air conditioning device may also push first prompt information to prompt the user that the air conditioning device has entered the linkage mode, which can also improve user experience. The air conditioning device may also push third prompt information or fourth prompt information respectively for the plurality of adjustment dimensions, so that the user can distinguish which adjustment dimensions are in an enabled state and which adjustment dimensions are in a disabled state, thereby improving user experience. The air conditioning device may also display the current progress of each adjustment dimension, which can also improve user experience. The air conditioning device may also push second prompt information for the first adjustment dimension, so that the user can know which adjustment dimension is the first adjustment dimension, thereby further improving user experience.

[0145] Optionally, as Figure 12 shown, the above step S430 may include:

[0146] S1210: determining a first mapping relationship between the current value of the first adjustment dimension and an adjusted value corresponding to a second adjustment dimension;

[0147] S1220: determining the adjusted value corresponding to the second adjustment dimension according to the current value of the first adjustment dimension and the first mapping relationship;

[0148] S1230: determining a first to-be-adjusted amount of the second adjustment dimension according to the current value of the second adjustment dimension and the adjusted value corresponding to the second adjustment dimension;

[0149] S1240: Adjust the second adjustment dimension according to the first adjustable quantity of the second adjustment dimension.

[0150] For example, suppose the air conditioner is currently set to adjust both temperature and fan speed. Temperature is the primary adjustment setting by default. When the air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode, it can determine the current set temperature, such as 25 degrees Celsius. If 25 degrees Celsius corresponds to a fan speed of level 1, and the current fan speed is level 2, the air conditioner can reduce the fan speed by one level.

[0151] For example, assuming the air conditioner is currently set to fan speed adjustment and the default temperature adjustment is the main adjustment, when the air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode, it can determine that the current indoor temperature is 20 degrees Celsius. If 20 degrees Celsius corresponds to fan speed level 2, and assuming the current fan speed is level 3, the air conditioner can reduce the fan speed by one level.

[0152] For example, suppose an air conditioning unit is currently operating on five adjustment dimensions: temperature, fan speed, fresh air intake, air purification, and humidity. The temperature adjustment dimension has a higher priority than the fan speed, fresh air intake, air purification, and humidity adjustment dimensions. When the air conditioning unit switches from normal mode to linked mode, it can determine the current operating temperature, say 25 degrees Celsius. Then, based on the mapping relationship between the temperature adjustment dimension and the other adjustment dimensions, the air conditioning unit can determine the corresponding adjusted values ​​for the other adjustment dimensions. For example, 25 degrees Celsius corresponds to fan speed level 1, fresh air intake level 1, air purification level 2, and humidity level 2. The air conditioning unit can then determine the current values ​​of the four adjustment dimensions—fan speed, fresh air intake, air purification, and humidity—and thus determine the adjustment values ​​for each of them.

[0153] In this embodiment of the invention, when the air conditioning device switches from normal mode to linkage mode, the air conditioning device can determine the current value of the first adjustment dimension based on whether the first adjustment dimension is on or off. Based on the current value of the first adjustment dimension, the device can control the other activated adjustment dimensions among multiple adjustment dimensions besides the first adjustment dimension. This linkage control method can improve control efficiency and thus improve the user experience.

[0154] It should be understood that, considering any one of multiple adjustment dimensions, if the adjustment dimension has just been actively adjusted by the user, then if the adjustment dimension is subsequently controlled in conjunction with other controls, the user does not actually expect the adjustment amount of that adjustment dimension to be excessive. Conversely, if the adjustment dimension was actively adjusted by the user a relatively long time ago, then if the adjustment dimension is subsequently controlled in conjunction with other controls, the user actually expects that adjustment dimension to be adjusted in conjunction with other controls. Based on this, a first adjustment coefficient is introduced in this embodiment of the invention. This first adjustment coefficient can be determined based on the time interval between the most recent time when the user actively controlled the second adjustment dimension and the current time. The longer the time interval, the weaker the attenuation of the conjunction control on the second adjustment dimension, and the corresponding first adjustment coefficient gradually returns from 0 to 1, where 0 represents full attenuation and 1 represents no attenuation.

[0155] Optionally, the air conditioning device can calculate the ratio of the time interval between the most recent user-initiated control of the second adjustment dimension and the current time to a preset time; the smaller of this ratio and 1 is determined as the first adjustment coefficient.

[0156] Optionally, the preset time can be 30 minutes, 40 minutes, etc., and the present invention does not limit it.

[0157] For example, suppose the air conditioner is turned on at minute 0 and enters normal mode. The user adjusts the fan speed to level 4 at minute 6 and the humidity to level 4 at minute 9. The air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode at minute 30. Assume the temperature adjustment mode is the primary control mode, is active, and the current set temperature is 25 degrees Celsius. When the air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode at minute 30, it will automatically control the fan speed. The user's last active fan speed adjustment was at minute 6. The time interval between minute 6 and minute 30 is 24 minutes. Assuming the preset time is 30 minutes, the first adjustment factor at this point is 24 / 30 = 0.8.

[0158] It should be understood that, considering that multiple adjustment dimensions have their own priorities, the priority of the first adjustment dimension can determine the second adjustment coefficient from the first adjustment dimension to the second adjustment dimension. The higher the priority of the first adjustment dimension, the larger its second adjustment coefficient to the second adjustment dimension; conversely, the lower the priority of the first adjustment dimension, the smaller its second adjustment coefficient to the second adjustment dimension.

[0159] For example, assuming that temperature has a higher priority than wind speed and humidity, and that humidity and wind speed have the same priority, based on this, such as Figure 13As shown, the second adjustment coefficient from the temperature adjustment dimension to the humidity adjustment dimension can be 1, the second adjustment coefficient from the humidity adjustment dimension to the temperature adjustment dimension can be 0.5, the second adjustment coefficient from the temperature adjustment dimension to the wind speed adjustment dimension can be 1, the second adjustment coefficient from the wind speed adjustment dimension to the temperature adjustment dimension can be 0.5, the second adjustment coefficient from the humidity adjustment dimension to the wind speed adjustment dimension can be 0.5, and the second adjustment coefficient from the wind speed adjustment dimension to the humidity adjustment dimension can also be 0.5.

[0160] Optionally, the priority of multiple adjustment dimensions can be set at the factory of the air conditioning device, or the user can set the priority of these adjustment dimensions through a remote control, APP or touch panel. This invention does not limit this.

[0161] Based on this, such as Figure 14 As shown, before S1240, the control method may further include:

[0162] S1410: Determine the first adjustment coefficient based on the time interval between the most recent user-initiated control of the second adjustment dimension and the current time, and / or determine the second adjustment coefficient from the first adjustment dimension to the second adjustment dimension;

[0163] Accordingly, S1240 may include:

[0164] S1420: Adjust the second adjustment dimension according to the first adjustment coefficient and the first adjustment amount of the second adjustment dimension; or, adjust the second adjustment dimension according to the second adjustment coefficient and the first adjustment amount of the second adjustment dimension; or, adjust the second adjustment dimension according to the first adjustment coefficient, the second adjustment coefficient and the first adjustment amount of the second adjustment dimension.

[0165] Optionally, the air conditioning device can calculate the product of a first adjustment coefficient and a first adjustable quantity to obtain a second adjustable quantity; or, the air conditioning device can calculate the product of a second adjustment coefficient and a first adjustable quantity to obtain a second adjustable quantity; or, the air conditioning device can calculate the product of a first adjustment coefficient, a second adjustment coefficient, and a first adjustable quantity to obtain a second adjustable quantity. Further, the air conditioning device can adjust the second adjustment dimension according to the second adjustable quantity.

[0166] It should be understood that the value of the second adjustment coefficient can be zero. If it is zero, then the air conditioning equipment does not need to adjust the second adjustment dimension.

[0167] The control method incorporating the first adjustment coefficient is illustrated below with an example:

[0168] For example, suppose the air conditioner is turned on at minute 0 and enters normal mode. The user adjusts the fan speed to level 4 at minute 6 and the humidity to level 4 at minute 9. The air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode at minute 30. Also suppose the temperature adjustment mode is the main adjustment mode, which is on, and the current on temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.

[0169] The air conditioning unit switches from normal mode to linked mode at the 30-minute mark, at which point the fan speed is controlled accordingly. The user last actively adjusted the fan speed at the 6-minute mark. The time interval between the current 30-minute mark and the 6-minute mark is 24 minutes. Assuming the preset time is 30 minutes, the first adjustment coefficient for the fan speed at this point is 24 / 30 = 0.8. Assuming the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, the adjusted fan speed value should be 60. Assuming the current fan speed value is 40, the first adjustment value for the fan speed is 60 - 40 = 20. Based on this, the second adjustment value for the fan speed at this point should be 20 * 0.8 = 16. Furthermore, the actual fan speed at the 30-minute mark should be adjusted to 40 + 16 = 56.

[0170] The air conditioning unit switches from normal mode to linked mode at the 30-minute mark, at which point it will control the humidity. The user last actively adjusted the humidity at the 9-minute mark. The time interval between the current 30-minute mark and the 9-minute mark is 21 minutes. Assuming the preset time is 30 minutes, the first adjustment coefficient for the fan speed at this time is 21 / 30 = 0.7. Assuming the temperature is 25 degrees, the adjusted humidity value should be 60. Assuming the current humidity value is 40, the first amount to be adjusted for humidity is 60 - 40 = 20. Based on this, the second amount to be adjusted for humidity at this time should be 20 * 0.7 = 14. Furthermore, the humidity should actually be adjusted to 40 + 14 = 54 at the 30-minute mark.

[0171] The following example illustrates the control method incorporating a second adjustment coefficient:

[0172] For example, suppose the air conditioner is turned on at minute 0 and enters normal mode. The user adjusts the fan speed to level 4 at minute 6 and the humidity to level 4 at minute 9. The air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode at minute 30. Also suppose the temperature adjustment mode is the main adjustment mode, which is on, and the current on temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.

[0173] The air conditioning unit switches from normal mode to linked mode at the 30-minute mark. At this time, it will control the fan speed. Assuming that the second adjustment coefficient from temperature adjustment to fan speed adjustment is 1, the adjusted fan speed value corresponding to a temperature of 25 degrees should be 60. The current fan speed value is 40. Therefore, the first adjustment value of the fan speed is 60-40=20. Based on this, the second adjustment value of the fan speed at this time should be 20*1=20. Furthermore, the actual fan speed should be adjusted to 40+20=60 at the 30-minute mark.

[0174] The air conditioning unit switches from normal mode to linkage mode at the 30-minute mark. At this time, it will control the humidity. Assuming that the second adjustment coefficient from temperature adjustment to humidity adjustment is 1, the adjusted humidity value corresponding to a temperature of 25 degrees should be 60. Assuming that the current humidity value is 40, we know that the first amount of humidity to be adjusted is 60-40=20. Based on this, we can get that the second amount of humidity to be adjusted at this time should be 20*1=20. Furthermore, at the 30-minute mark, the humidity should actually be adjusted to 40+20=60.

[0175] The following example illustrates the control method that combines the first and second adjustment coefficients:

[0176] For example, suppose the air conditioner is turned on at minute 0 and enters normal mode. The user adjusts the fan speed to level 4 at minute 6 and the humidity to level 4 at minute 9. The air conditioner switches from normal mode to linked mode at minute 30. Also suppose the temperature adjustment mode is the main adjustment mode, which is on, and the current on temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.

[0177] The air conditioning unit switches from normal mode to linked mode at the 30-minute mark, at which point the fan speed is controlled accordingly. The user last actively adjusted the fan speed at the 6-minute mark. The time interval between the current 30-minute mark and the 6-minute mark is 24 minutes. Assuming the preset time is 30 minutes, the first adjustment coefficient for the fan speed at this point is 24 / 30 = 0.8. Assuming the second adjustment coefficient from temperature adjustment to fan speed adjustment is 1, the adjusted fan speed value for a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius should be 60. The current fan speed value is 40. Therefore, the first adjustment value for the fan speed is 60 - 40 = 20. Based on this, the second adjustment value for the fan speed at this point should be 20 * 0.8 * 1 = 16. Furthermore, the actual fan speed at the 30-minute mark should be adjusted to 40 + 16 = 56.

[0178] The air conditioning unit switches from normal mode to linked mode at the 30-minute mark, at which point it will control the humidity. The user last actively adjusted the humidity at the 9-minute mark. The time interval between the current 30-minute mark and the 9-minute mark is 21 minutes. Assuming the preset time is 30 minutes, the first adjustment coefficient for the fan speed at this time is 21 / 30 = 0.7. Assuming the second adjustment coefficient from temperature adjustment to humidity adjustment is 1, the adjusted humidity value corresponding to a temperature of 25 degrees should be 60. The current humidity value is 40. Therefore, the first amount to be adjusted for humidity is 60 - 40 = 20. Based on this, the second amount to be adjusted for humidity at this time should be 20 * 0.7 * 1 = 14. Furthermore, the humidity should actually be adjusted to 40 + 14 = 54 at the 30-minute mark.

[0179] Considering that the second adjustable value may exceed the maximum adjustable value of the second adjustment dimension, the air conditioning equipment can adjust the second adjustment dimension in the following ways, but is not limited to:

[0180] Optionally, if the second adjustable value of the second adjustment dimension is less than or equal to the maximum adjustable value of the second adjustment dimension, the air conditioning device can adjust the second adjustment dimension to the second adjustable value. If the second adjustable value of the second adjustment dimension is greater than the maximum adjustable value of the second adjustment dimension, the second adjustment dimension can be adjusted to the maximum adjustable value. Alternatively, if the determined second adjustable value of the second adjustment dimension is greater than the maximum adjustable value of the second adjustment dimension, the second adjustment dimension is adjusted according to the maximum adjustable value of the second adjustment dimension, and this process continues until the minimum value of the second adjustment dimension is reached, until the adjustment value reaches the second adjustable value determined based on the mapping relationship.

[0181] For example, since each adjustment dimension has a maximum and minimum value limit, for example, suppose the maximum wind speed is 5 and the current wind speed is 3. If we assume that according to the above mapping relationship and the first adjustment coefficient, we need to increase the wind speed by another 3 levels, it is obviously beyond the maximum wind speed value. In this case, we can increase it to 5 levels. Alternatively, wind speed adjustment is a cyclical adjustment process. After increasing to 5 levels, we can continue to enter 1 levels.

[0182] In this embodiment of the invention, the air conditioning device can adjust the second adjustment dimension based on a first adjustment coefficient, a second adjustment coefficient, and a first adjustable quantity of the second adjustment dimension. This method of controlling the second adjustment dimension based on the adjustment coefficient is more reasonable and effective, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0183] Figure 15 A flowchart of another control method for an air conditioning device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 15 As shown, in Figure 15Based on this, S430 can also include:

[0184] S440: Obtain the second mode switching command;

[0185] S450: In response to the second mode switching command, switch from linkage mode to normal mode.

[0186] Optionally, the second mode switching command may be generated based on the operation of turning off the linkage mode, or the second mode switching command may be generated based on the operation of turning on the normal mode, or the second mode switching command may be generated based on the click or touch operation of the mode switching icon or button, which may be set on the remote control, APP or touch panel.

[0187] It should be understood that when the air conditioning equipment is switched to normal mode, the user can only control each adjustment dimension individually. For example, when the user adjusts the temperature, other adjustment dimensions such as fan speed, fresh air intake, and air purification will not be controlled in conjunction with the temperature adjustment.

[0188] Optionally, after the air conditioning device switches to normal mode, it can switch back to linkage mode. After entering linkage mode, the air conditioning device can control multiple adjustment dimensions according to the control method provided by the present invention.

[0189] In this embodiment of the invention, the air conditioning device can flexibly switch between linkage mode and normal mode, thereby improving the user experience.
