Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of control, and more particularly to a control method, device, storage medium, and parking air conditioner for a parking air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the most common modes of transportation, a significant number of people need to spend long periods of time in the car cabin for work or other reasons. Whether in the sweltering heat of summer in the south or the frigid cold of winter in the north, people heavily rely on in-car air conditioning to provide a comfortable environment. Especially in inclement weather, the cabin environment can become even more unpleasant, greatly reducing driving or passenger comfort and potentially posing safety risks. Because parking air conditioning is battery-powered, unlike driving air conditioning which relies on the engine, it can be used even when the engine is off, and also provides the possibility of remote automatic start. However, parking air conditioning requires the driver or passengers to manually start or adjust it from within the cabin while the car is parked. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the aforementioned related technologies and provide a control method, device, storage medium, and parking air conditioner to solve the problem that the driver or passenger needs to manually start or adjust the air conditioner when the vehicle is parked.

[0004] The present invention provides a method for controlling a parking air conditioner, comprising: determining the current state of the vehicle in which the parking air conditioner is located; the current state of the vehicle includes: parking state, driving state, and / or entering the parking position while driving; and controlling the parking air conditioner to pre-start and / or controlling the parking air conditioner to start based on the current state of the vehicle and in combination with the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and / or the temperature outside the vehicle's cabin.

[0005] Optionally, based on the current state of the vehicle and in conjunction with the temperature inside and / or outside the vehicle's cabin, the parking air conditioner is pre-activated and / or activated, including: when the vehicle is in a parked state, determining whether the distance between the vehicle's remote key and the vehicle's cabin is within a preset distance; if the distance between the remote key and the cabin is within the preset distance, then based on the temperature inside and / or outside the vehicle's cabin, the parking air conditioner is pre-activated and / or activated; and / or, when the vehicle is in a driving state and enters the parking position, determining whether the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin is the same as the temperature when the parking air conditioner was last activated. The system determines whether the absolute value of the difference between the target temperature set at startup and the parking air conditioner is greater than a first preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, the system controls the parking air conditioner to pre-start and operates at a preset lowest setting. Alternatively, when the vehicle is in motion, the system determines whether the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than a third preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than the third preset temperature difference threshold, the system controls the parking air conditioner to start.

[0006] Optionally, when the vehicle is in a parked state, if it is determined that the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is within a preset distance, then based on the temperature inside and / or outside the driver's cabin, the parking air conditioner is pre-started and / or the parking air conditioner is started, including: determining whether the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than a first preset temperature difference threshold; if it is determined that the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, then the parking air conditioner is pre-started and the parking air conditioner is controlled to operate at a preset lowest setting.

[0007] Optionally, it further includes: after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, determining whether the duration for which the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is within a preset distance and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on exceeds a first preset temperature difference threshold exceeds a first preset time; if the duration does not exceed the first preset time, controlling the parking air conditioner to stop; if the duration exceeds the first preset time, controlling the parking air conditioner to stop or start depending on whether the remote key is inside the driver's cabin of the vehicle, wherein if the remote key is inside the driver's cabin of the vehicle, controlling the parking air conditioner to start, otherwise controlling the parking air conditioner to stop.

[0008] Optionally, the method further includes: after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, determining whether the relationship between the vehicle's cabin temperature, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature, and / or the difference between the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, meets a preset condition; if the preset condition is met, then controlling the parking air conditioner to start; wherein, the preset condition includes: the vehicle's cabin temperature is greater than the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and less than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on; or, the vehicle's cabin temperature is greater than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on and less than the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature; or, the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature is greater than the vehicle's cabin temperature and less than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the difference between the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the difference between the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, meets a preset condition; if the preset condition is met, then controlling the start of the parking air conditioner; wherein, the preset condition includes: the vehicle's cabin temperature is greater than the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and less than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the difference between the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, meets a preset condition. The absolute value of the difference between the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold; or, the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin is greater than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on and less than the inside temperature of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold; or, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and less than the inside temperature of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold; or, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the inside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and less than the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold.

[0009] Optionally, it further includes: when the vehicle is in a driving state and enters the parking gear state, after controlling the parking air conditioner to pre-start, controlling the parking air conditioner to stop or start based on whether the remote key is in the driver's cabin of the vehicle and / or whether the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin of the vehicle is within a preset distance range.

[0010] Optionally, controlling the parking air conditioner to stop or start based on whether the remote key is in the vehicle's driver's cabin and / or whether the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within a preset distance range includes: if it is determined that the remote key is in the vehicle's driver's cabin, then controlling the parking air conditioner to start; if it is determined that the remote key is not in the vehicle's driver's cabin, then determining whether the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within a preset distance range; if it is determined that the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within a preset distance range and exceeds a second preset time period, or if it is determined that the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is not within a preset distance range, then controlling the parking air conditioner to stop; if it is determined that the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within a preset distance range, and the remote key is in the vehicle's driver's cabin within a second preset time period, then controlling the parking air conditioner to start.

If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, the system controls the parking air conditioner to pre-start and operates at a preset lowest setting. Alternatively, when the vehicle is in motion, the system determines whether the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than a third preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than the third preset temperature difference threshold, the system controls the parking air conditioner to start.

[0013] Optionally, when the vehicle is in a parked state, if the control unit determines that the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is within a preset distance, it controls the parking air conditioner to pre-start and / or controls the parking air conditioner to start based on the temperature inside and / or outside the driver's cabin of the vehicle.

[0014] Optionally, the control unit is further configured to: after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, determine whether the duration for which the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is within a preset distance and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on exceeds a first preset temperature difference threshold exceeds a first preset time; if the duration does not exceed the first preset time, control the parking air conditioner to stop; if the duration exceeds the first preset time, control the parking air conditioner to stop or start depending on whether the remote key is inside the driver's cabin of the vehicle, wherein if the remote key is inside the driver's cabin of the vehicle, control the parking air conditioner to start, otherwise, control the parking air conditioner to stop.

[0015] Optionally, the control unit is further configured to: after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, determine whether the relationship between the vehicle's cabin temperature, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature, and / or the difference between the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, meets a preset condition; if the preset condition is met, then control the parking air conditioner to start; wherein, the preset condition includes: the vehicle's cabin temperature is greater than the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and less than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on; or, the vehicle's cabin temperature is greater than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on and less than the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature; or, the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature is greater than the vehicle's cabin temperature and less than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the difference between the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the difference between the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, meets a preset condition; if the preset condition is met, then control the parking air conditioner to start; wherein, the preset condition includes: the vehicle's cabin temperature is greater than the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and less than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the difference between the vehicle's cabin exterior temperature and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, meets a preset condition. The absolute value of the difference between the target temperature set when the vehicle's air conditioning was last turned on and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioning was last turned on is greater than a second preset temperature difference threshold; or, the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin is greater than the target temperature set when the parking air conditioning was last turned on and less than the inside temperature of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioning was last turned on is greater than a second preset temperature difference threshold; or, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioning was last turned on is greater than the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and less than the inside temperature of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioning was last turned on is less than a third preset temperature difference threshold; or, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioning was last turned on is greater than the inside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and less than the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioning was last turned on is less than a third preset temperature difference threshold.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0027] 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 a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus 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 apparatus.

[0028] Parking air conditioning, as a complementary product to vehicle air conditioning, provides a way to cool or heat when the vehicle is parked, allowing drivers or passengers to adjust the ambient temperature in more situations and with greater flexibility. However, current technologies require drivers or passengers to manually start or adjust the air conditioning from within the cabin while the vehicle is parked. This method is inconvenient and may even pose certain safety risks.

[0029] In response, the technology of remotely starting a home air conditioner through the settings of the car's air conditioning has very limited application scenarios. Alternatively, the technology of determining whether to prompt the car owner to start the air conditioner remotely based on temperature sensors and historical usage records not only requires manual operation, which is inconvenient, but also has low accuracy and is not very intelligent.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the parking air conditioner control method provided by the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the parking air conditioner includes at least steps S110 and S120.

[0032] Step S110: Determine the current status of the vehicle where the parking air conditioner is located.

[0033] Step S120: Based on the current state of the vehicle, and in conjunction with the temperature inside and / or outside the vehicle's cabin, control the pre-start of the parking air conditioner and / or control the start of the parking air conditioner.

[0034] Specifically, the current state of the vehicle can include: parked state, driving state, and / or entering the parking gear while driving. Entering the parking gear while driving means that the engine is not stopped and the vehicle is in the parking gear (P gear).

[0035] The following describes the specific methods for controlling the pre-start and / or start of the parking air conditioner when the vehicle is in park, driving, or when it enters the parking position while driving, taking into account the temperature inside and / or outside the vehicle's cabin:

[0036] (1) When the vehicle is in a parked state:

[0037] When the vehicle is in a parked state, it is determined whether the distance between the vehicle's remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within a preset distance; if it is determined that the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is within the preset distance, the parking air conditioner is pre-started and / or the parking air conditioner is started according to the temperature inside and / or outside the driver's cabin.

[0038] When the vehicle is parked, if the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is determined to be within a preset distance, indicating that the driver may be about to arrive at the vehicle's location and need to use it, the parking air conditioner can be pre-started based on the temperature inside the driver's cabin. Specifically, it is determined whether the absolute value of the difference A between the temperature T1 inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than a first preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is pre-started and controlled to operate at a preset lowest setting. The parking air conditioner requires a relatively long time from being powered on to fully starting. Pre-starting refers to advancing the process of the parking air conditioner 'from being powered on to the entire unit starting to operate (at the lowest setting)', while full start refers to the entire unit gradually increasing from the lowest setting to the set setting.

[0039] After controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, the starting or stopping of the parking air conditioner can be further controlled.

[0040] In one specific implementation, after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, it is determined whether the duration for which the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is within a preset distance and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's driver's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on exceeds a first preset temperature difference threshold exceeds a first preset time; if it is determined that the duration does not exceed the first preset time, the parking air conditioner is controlled to stop; if it is determined that the duration exceeds the first preset time, the parking air conditioner is controlled to stop or start depending on whether the remote key is inside the vehicle's driver's cabin, wherein if the remote key is inside the vehicle's driver's cabin, the parking air conditioner is controlled to start, otherwise, the parking air conditioner is controlled to stop.

[0041] Specifically, after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, if the remote key is still within a preset distance from the driver's cabin and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when it was turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, and this condition persists for a certain period of time, and the remote key is inside the driver's cabin, it indicates that the user has entered the driver's cabin, and the parking air conditioner can be fully started. If the remote key is still within a preset distance from the driver's cabin and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when it was turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, and this condition persists for a certain period of time, but the remote key is not inside the driver's cabin, it indicates that the user may have just passed by the vehicle, and the parking air conditioner can be turned off. If, within a first preset time, the remote key is no longer within a preset distance from the driver's cabin, or the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when it was turned on is less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference threshold (i.e., the temperature inside the driver's cabin is close to the previously set target temperature), the parking air conditioner can be turned off.

[0042] In another specific implementation, after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, it is determined whether the relationship between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature outside the vehicle's cabin and / or the difference between the temperature outside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on meets a preset condition; if it is determined that the preset condition is met, the parking air conditioner is controlled to start.

[0043] Specifically, the preset conditions may include the following three groups:

[0044] 1. The temperature T1 inside the vehicle's driver's cabin is greater than the temperature T3 outside the vehicle's driver's cabin, but less than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on; or, the temperature T1 inside the vehicle's driver's cabin is greater than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, but less than the temperature T3 outside the vehicle's driver's cabin.

[0045] That is, T2 > T1 > T3, or T3 > T1 > T2. In both cases, and |T1 - T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the temperature inside the cockpit T1 is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature outside the cockpit T3 is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on. (Under natural conditions, the temperature inside the cockpit T1 will gradually approach the temperature outside the cockpit T3. When the temperature outside the cockpit T3 is significantly different from the temperature inside the cockpit T1 and the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on.)

[0046] or,

[0047] 2. The vehicle's outside temperature T3 is greater than the vehicle's inside temperature T1 and less than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's outside temperature T3 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold Tb; or, the vehicle's outside temperature T3 is greater than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on and less than the vehicle's inside temperature T1, and the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's outside temperature T3 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold Tb.

[0048] That is, T2 > T3 > T1, and |T3-T2| > Tb, or T3 > T1 > T2, and |T3-T2| > Tb. In both cases, and |T1-T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is relatively close to the temperature T3 outside the cockpit, the air conditioner will be turned on fully. (Under natural conditions, the temperature T1 inside the cockpit will gradually approach the temperature T3 outside the cockpit. When the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is close to the temperature T3 outside the cockpit and is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when it was last turned on, the air conditioner will be turned on fully.)

[0049] or,

[0050] Third, the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and less than the inside temperature T1 of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold Tc; or, the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the inside temperature T1 of the vehicle's cabin and less than the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold Tc.

[0051] That is, T1 > T2 > T3, and |T3-T2| < Tc, or T1 < T2 < T3, and |T3-T2| < Tc. In both cases, and |T1-T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on is close to the outside temperature T3, and the temperature T1 inside the cabin is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on. (Under natural conditions, the temperature T1 inside the cabin will gradually approach the outside temperature T3, and if the temperature T1 inside the cabin cannot naturally approach the outside temperature T3, the air conditioner will be fully turned on.)

[0052] (2) When the vehicle is in motion and then puts into parking gear:

[0053] When the vehicle is in driving mode and enters parking mode, it is determined whether the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than a first preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is pre-started and controlled to operate at the preset lowest setting.

[0054] Specifically, when a vehicle is in driving mode and enters parking mode, the parking air conditioner can be pre-activated based on the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin. Specifically, it is determined whether the absolute value of the difference A between the current cabin temperature T1 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than a first preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of this difference is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is pre-activated and operates at the preset lowest setting.

[0055] After controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, the system can be further controlled to start or stop the parking air conditioner. Specifically, the system can be controlled to stop or start the parking air conditioner based on whether the remote key is in the driver's cabin of the vehicle and / or whether the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is within a preset distance range.

[0056] In one specific implementation, it is first determined whether the remote key is in the vehicle's driver's cabin. If the remote key is in the vehicle's driver's cabin, the parking air conditioner is started. If the remote key is not in the vehicle's driver's cabin, it is determined whether the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within a preset distance range. If the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within the preset distance range and exceeds a second preset time period, or if the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is not within the preset distance range, the parking air conditioner is stopped. If the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within the preset distance range and the remote key is in the vehicle's driver's cabin within a second preset time period, the parking air conditioner is started, specifically according to the operating parameters set when the parking air conditioner was last started (e.g., including target temperature, fan speed, and / or compressor frequency).

[0057] Specifically, if the remote key is inside the driver's cabin, it means the user is still inside the driver's cabin, so the parking air conditioner is started and operates according to the settings of the last start. If the remote key is not inside the driver's cabin and is not within a certain range of the driver's cabin (the distance from the driver's cabin is not within a preset distance range), it means the user has been away for a long time, so the parking air conditioner is turned off. If the remote key is not inside the driver's cabin, but is within a certain range of the driver's cabin (the distance from the driver's cabin is within a preset distance range), the time when the remote key is not inside the driver's cabin is determined, i.e. the time when the user left the driver's cabin. If the time when the user left the driver's cabin exceeds a certain time (the second preset time), even if the user always stays within a certain range of the driver's cabin, it is considered as leaving, so the parking air conditioner is turned off. If the remote key is detected to have returned to the driver's cabin within a certain time, it means the user may have returned to the driver's cabin, so the parking air conditioner is started and operates according to the settings of the last start.

[0058] In another specific implementation, after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, it is determined whether the relationship between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature outside the vehicle's cabin and / or the difference between the temperature outside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on meets a preset condition; if it is determined that the preset condition is met, the parking air conditioner is controlled to start.

[0059] Specifically, the preset conditions may include the following three groups:

[0060] 1. The temperature T1 inside the vehicle's driver's cabin is greater than the temperature T3 outside the vehicle's driver's cabin, but less than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on; or, the temperature T1 inside the vehicle's driver's cabin is greater than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, but less than the temperature T3 outside the vehicle's driver's cabin.

[0061] That is, T2 > T1 > T3, or T3 > T1 > T2. In both cases, and |T1 - T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the temperature inside the cockpit T1 is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature outside the cockpit T3 is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on. (Under natural conditions, the temperature inside the cockpit T1 will gradually approach the temperature outside the cockpit T3. When the temperature outside the cockpit T3 is significantly different from the temperature inside the cockpit T1 and the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on.)

[0062] or,

[0063] 2. The vehicle's outside temperature T3 is greater than the vehicle's inside temperature T1 and less than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's outside temperature T3 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold Tb; or, the vehicle's outside temperature T3 is greater than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on and less than the vehicle's inside temperature T1, and the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's outside temperature T3 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold Tb.

[0064] That is, T2 > T3 > T1, and |T3-T2| > Tb, or T3 > T1 > T2, and |T3-T2| > Tb. In both cases, and |T1-T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is relatively close to the temperature T3 outside the cockpit, the air conditioner will be turned on fully. (Under natural conditions, the temperature T1 inside the cockpit will gradually approach the temperature T3 outside the cockpit. When the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is close to the temperature T3 outside the cockpit and is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when it was last turned on, the air conditioner will be turned on fully.)

[0065] or,

[0066] Third, the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and less than the inside temperature T1 of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold Tc; or, the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the inside temperature T1 of the vehicle's cabin and less than the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold Tc.

[0067] That is, T1 > T2 > T3, and |T3-T2| < Tc, or T1 < T2 < T3, and |T3-T2| < Tc. In both cases, and |T1-T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on is close to the outside temperature T3, and the temperature T1 inside the cabin is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on. (Under natural conditions, the temperature T1 inside the cabin will gradually approach the outside temperature T3, and if the temperature T1 inside the cabin cannot naturally approach the outside temperature T3, the air conditioner will be fully turned on.)

[0068] (3) When the vehicle is in motion:

[0069] When the vehicle is in motion, it is determined whether the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than a third preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than the third preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is activated.

[0070] Specifically, when the vehicle is in motion, if the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than the third preset temperature difference threshold, it means that the current use of the driving air conditioner has failed to bring the temperature inside the cabin to the target temperature, and then the parking air conditioner is activated.

[0071] To clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the execution flow of the parking air conditioner control method provided by the present invention will be described below with reference to a specific embodiment.

[0072] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of the parking air conditioner control method provided by the present invention. Figure 2 As shown,

[0073] When the vehicle is parked, the distance between the car key and the driver's cabin is detected to determine if the key has entered a preset range within the driver's cabin. When the key enters a certain range within the driver's cabin, the temperature TA inside the driver's cabin and the temperature TB outside the driver's cabin are detected respectively. The absolute value of the difference A is calculated based on the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the previously set temperature of the parking air conditioner. At the same time, the absolute value of the difference B is calculated based on the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the driver's cabin. If A is greater than a first preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is pre-started and operates at a low setting. If the key is still within a certain range within the driver's cabin and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when it was turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, and this exceeds a certain time, and the key is inside the driver's cabin, the parking air conditioner is fully turned on. If the key leaves a certain range within the driver's cabin within a certain time, or if the key is still within a certain range within the driver's cabin and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when it was turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, and this exceeds a certain time, but the key is not inside the driver's cabin, the parking air conditioner is turned off. Alternatively, the parking air conditioner can be fully turned on when the relative values ​​of the cabin temperature, the previously set target temperature, and the cabin temperature, and / or the difference between the cabin temperature and the previously set target temperature, meet certain conditions.

[0074] When the vehicle is in motion, the system checks if the engine is running. When the vehicle is in park, the system checks the temperature inside the cabin (TA) and outside the cabin (TB). It calculates the absolute value of the temperature difference (A) based on the cabin temperature and the previous setting of the parking air conditioner (historical data), and simultaneously calculates the absolute value of the temperature difference (B) based on the cabin temperature. If A exceeds a first preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is pre-started and operates at a low setting. The system checks if the key has left the cabin. If the key remains inside the cabin, the system operates according to the previous settings. If the key leaves the cabin, the system checks the distance between the key and the cabin. If the distance exceeds a certain range, it is considered a long-term absence, and the parking air conditioner is turned off. If the distance is within a certain range, the system calculates the time the key has been away from the cabin. If the key has been away from the cabin for more than a certain time, even if it remains within a certain range, it is considered an absence, and the parking air conditioner is turned off. If the key is detected entering the cabin within a certain time, the system operates according to the previous settings.

[0075] When the car is in motion, the temperature inside the cabin is monitored in real time. If the temperature inside the cabin differs from the driving air conditioning setting by more than a certain range, the parking air conditioning will be activated.

[0076] Figure 2 This is a structural block diagram of an embodiment of the parking air conditioner control device provided by the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the control device 100 for the parking air conditioner includes a determining unit 110 and a control unit 120.

[0077] The determining unit 110 is used to determine the current state of the vehicle where the parking air conditioner is located; the current state of the vehicle includes: parking state, driving state, and / or entering the parking gear while driving state.

[0078] The control unit 120 is configured to control the pre-start of the parking air conditioner and / or control the start of the parking air conditioner based on the current state of the vehicle and in combination with the temperature inside and / or outside the vehicle's cabin.

[0079] Specifically, the current state of the vehicle can include: parked state, driving state, and / or entering the parking gear while driving. Entering the parking gear while driving means that the engine is not stopped and the vehicle is in the parking gear (P gear).

[0080] The following describes the specific methods by which the control unit 130, in conjunction with the vehicle's cabin temperature and / or outside temperature, controls the pre-start and / or start of the parking air conditioner when the vehicle is in park, driving, or in the parking position while driving:

[0081] (1) When the vehicle is in a parked state:

[0082] When the vehicle is in a parked state, it is determined whether the distance between the vehicle's remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within a preset distance; if it is determined that the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is within the preset distance, the parking air conditioner is pre-started and / or the parking air conditioner is started according to the temperature inside and / or outside the driver's cabin.

[0083] When the vehicle is parked, if the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is determined to be within a preset distance, indicating that the driver may be about to arrive at the vehicle's location and need to use it, the parking air conditioner can be pre-started based on the temperature inside the driver's cabin. Specifically, it is determined whether the absolute value of the difference A between the temperature T1 inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than a first preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is pre-started and controlled to operate at a preset lowest setting. The parking air conditioner requires a relatively long time from being powered on to fully starting. Pre-starting refers to advancing the process of the parking air conditioner 'from being powered on to the entire unit starting to operate (at the lowest setting)', while full start refers to the entire unit gradually increasing from the lowest setting to the set setting.

[0084] After controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, the control unit 130 can further control the start or stop of the parking air conditioner.

[0085] In one specific embodiment, after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, the control unit 130 determines whether the duration for which the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin is within a preset distance and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on exceeds a first preset temperature difference threshold exceeds a first preset time; if the duration does not exceed the first preset time, the parking air conditioner is controlled to stop; if the duration exceeds the first preset time, the parking air conditioner is controlled to stop or start depending on whether the remote key is inside the driver's cabin, wherein if the remote key is inside the driver's cabin, the parking air conditioner is controlled to start, otherwise, the parking air conditioner is controlled to stop.

[0086] Specifically, after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, if the remote key is still within a preset distance from the driver's cabin and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when it was turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, and this condition persists for a certain period of time, and the remote key is inside the driver's cabin, it indicates that the user has entered the driver's cabin, and the parking air conditioner can be fully started. If the remote key is still within a preset distance from the driver's cabin and the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when it was turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, and this condition persists for a certain period of time, but the remote key is not inside the driver's cabin, it indicates that the user may have only been passing by the vehicle, and the parking air conditioner can be turned off. If, within a first preset time, the remote key is no longer within a preset distance from the driver's cabin, or the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the driver's cabin and the target temperature set when it was turned on is less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference threshold (i.e., the temperature inside the driver's cabin is close to the previously set target temperature), the parking air conditioner can be turned off.

[0087] In another specific embodiment, after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, the control unit 130 determines whether the relationship between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature outside the vehicle's cabin, and / or the difference between the temperature outside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, meets a preset condition; if the preset condition is met, the control unit 130 controls the parking air conditioner to start.

[0088] Specifically, the preset conditions may include the following three groups:

[0089] 1. The temperature T1 inside the vehicle's driver's cabin is greater than the temperature T3 outside the vehicle's driver's cabin, but less than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on; or, the temperature T1 inside the vehicle's driver's cabin is greater than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, but less than the temperature T3 outside the vehicle's driver's cabin.

[0090] That is, T2 > T1 > T3, or T3 > T1 > T2. In both cases, and |T1 - T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the temperature inside the cockpit T1 is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature outside the cockpit T3 is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on. (Under natural conditions, the temperature inside the cockpit T1 will gradually approach the temperature outside the cockpit T3. When the temperature outside the cockpit T3 is significantly different from the temperature inside the cockpit T1 and the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on.)

[0091] or,

[0092] 2. The vehicle's outside temperature T3 is greater than the vehicle's inside temperature T1 and less than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's outside temperature T3 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold Tb; or, the vehicle's outside temperature T3 is greater than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on and less than the vehicle's inside temperature T1, and the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's outside temperature T3 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold Tb.

[0093] That is, T2 > T3 > T1, and |T3-T2| > Tb, or T3 > T1 > T2, and |T3-T2| > Tb. In both cases, and |T1-T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is relatively close to the temperature T3 outside the cockpit, the air conditioner will be turned on fully. (Under natural conditions, the temperature T1 inside the cockpit will gradually approach the temperature T3 outside the cockpit. When the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is close to the temperature T3 outside the cockpit and is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when it was last turned on, the air conditioner will be turned on fully.)

[0094] or,

[0095] Third, the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and less than the inside temperature T1 of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold Tc; or, the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the inside temperature T1 of the vehicle's cabin and less than the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold Tc.

[0096] That is, T1 > T2 > T3, and |T3-T2| < Tc, or T1 < T2 < T3, and |T3-T2| < Tc. In both cases, and |T1-T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on is close to the outside temperature T3, and the temperature T1 inside the cabin is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on. (Under natural conditions, the temperature T1 inside the cabin will gradually approach the outside temperature T3, and if the temperature T1 inside the cabin cannot naturally approach the outside temperature T3, the air conditioner will be fully turned on.)

[0097] (2) When the vehicle is in motion and then puts into parking gear:

[0098] When the vehicle is in driving mode and enters parking mode, it is determined whether the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than a first preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is pre-started and controlled to operate at the preset lowest setting.

[0099] Specifically, when a vehicle is in driving mode and enters parking mode, the parking air conditioner can be pre-activated based on the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin. Specifically, it is determined whether the absolute value of the difference A between the current cabin temperature T1 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than a first preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of this difference is greater than the first preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is pre-activated and operates at the preset lowest setting.

[0100] After controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, the control unit 130 can further control the start or stop of the parking air conditioner. Specifically, it can control the parking air conditioner to stop or start based on whether the remote key is in the driver's cabin of the vehicle and / or whether the distance between the remote key and the driver's cabin of the vehicle is within a preset distance range.

[0101] In one specific implementation, the control unit 130 first determines whether the remote key is in the vehicle's driver's cabin. If the remote key is in the vehicle's driver's cabin, the control unit starts the parking air conditioner. If the remote key is not in the vehicle's driver's cabin, the control unit determines whether the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within a preset distance range. If the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within the preset distance range and exceeds a second preset time period, or if the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is not within the preset distance range, the control unit stops the parking air conditioner. If the distance between the remote key and the vehicle's driver's cabin is within the preset distance range and the remote key is in the vehicle's driver's cabin within a second preset time period, the control unit starts the parking air conditioner, which can operate according to the operating parameters set when the parking air conditioner was last started (e.g., including target temperature, fan speed, and / or compressor frequency).

[0102] Specifically, if the remote key is inside the driver's cabin, it means the user is still inside the driver's cabin, so the parking air conditioner is started and operates according to the settings of the last start. If the remote key is not inside the driver's cabin and is not within a certain range of the driver's cabin (the distance from the driver's cabin is not within a preset distance range), it means the user has been away for a long time, so the parking air conditioner is turned off. If the remote key is not inside the driver's cabin, but is within a certain range of the driver's cabin (the distance from the driver's cabin is within a preset distance range), the time when the remote key is not inside the driver's cabin is determined, i.e. the time when the user left the driver's cabin. If the time when the user left the driver's cabin exceeds a certain time (the second preset time), even if the user always stays within a certain range of the driver's cabin, it is considered as leaving, so the parking air conditioner is turned off. If the remote key is detected to have returned to the driver's cabin within a certain time, it means the user may have returned to the driver's cabin, so the parking air conditioner is started and operates according to the settings of the last start.

[0103] In another specific embodiment, after controlling the pre-start of the parking air conditioner, the control unit 120 determines whether the relationship between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin, the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature outside the vehicle's cabin, and / or the difference between the temperature outside the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, meets a preset condition; if the preset condition is met, the control unit 120 controls the parking air conditioner to start.

[0104] Specifically, the preset conditions may include the following three groups:

[0105] 1. The temperature T1 inside the vehicle's driver's cabin is greater than the temperature T3 outside the vehicle's driver's cabin, but less than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on; or, the temperature T1 inside the vehicle's driver's cabin is greater than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, but less than the temperature T3 outside the vehicle's driver's cabin.

[0106] That is, T2 > T1 > T3, or T3 > T1 > T2. In both cases, and |T1 - T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the temperature inside the cockpit T1 is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature outside the cockpit T3 is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on. (Under natural conditions, the temperature inside the cockpit T1 will gradually approach the temperature outside the cockpit T3. When the temperature outside the cockpit T3 is significantly different from the temperature inside the cockpit T1 and the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on.)

[0107] or,

[0108] 2. The vehicle's outside temperature T3 is greater than the vehicle's inside temperature T1 and less than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on, and the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's outside temperature T3 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold Tb; or, the vehicle's outside temperature T3 is greater than the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on and less than the vehicle's inside temperature T1, and the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's outside temperature T3 and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the second preset temperature difference threshold Tb.

[0109] That is, T2 > T3 > T1, and |T3-T2| > Tb, or T3 > T1 > T2, and |T3-T2| > Tb. In both cases, and |T1-T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, and the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is relatively close to the temperature T3 outside the cockpit, the air conditioner will be turned on fully. (Under natural conditions, the temperature T1 inside the cockpit will gradually approach the temperature T3 outside the cockpit. When the temperature T1 inside the cockpit is close to the temperature T3 outside the cockpit and is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when it was last turned on, the air conditioner will be turned on fully.)

[0110] or,

[0111] Third, the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and less than the inside temperature T1 of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold Tc; or, the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is greater than the inside temperature T1 of the vehicle's cabin and less than the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin, and the absolute value of the difference between the outside temperature T3 of the vehicle's cabin and the target temperature T2 set when the parking air conditioner was last turned on is less than the third preset temperature difference threshold Tc.

[0112] That is, T1 > T2 > T3, and |T3-T2| < Tc, or T1 < T2 < T3, and |T3-T2| < Tc. In both cases, and |T1-T2| > Ta (Ta is the first preset temperature difference threshold), it means that when the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on is close to the outside temperature T3, and the temperature T1 inside the cabin is significantly different from the target temperature T2 set when the air conditioner was last turned on, the air conditioner will be fully turned on. (Under natural conditions, the temperature T1 inside the cabin will gradually approach the outside temperature T3, and if the temperature T1 inside the cabin cannot naturally approach the outside temperature T3, the air conditioner will be fully turned on.)

[0113] (3) When the vehicle is in motion:

[0114] When the vehicle is in motion, it is determined whether the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than a third preset temperature difference threshold. If the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than the third preset temperature difference threshold, the parking air conditioner is activated.

[0115] Specifically, when the vehicle is in motion, if the absolute value of the difference between the temperature inside the vehicle's cabin and the current target temperature of the parking air conditioner is greater than the third preset temperature difference threshold, it means that even using the driving air conditioner has failed to bring the cabin temperature to the target temperature, and then the parking air conditioner will be activated.

[0116] The present invention also provides a storage medium corresponding to the control method of the parking air conditioner, wherein a computer program is stored thereon, and the program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of any of the aforementioned methods.
