It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 a flow chart of a control method of an air conditioner indoor unit provided by the embodiments of the present application, the method comprising the following steps:

[0048] Step S101: obtaining a first parameter value of a target parameter of a first air conditioner indoor unit;

[0049] Step S102: if the first air conditioner indoor unit receives a second parameter value sent by a second air conditioner indoor unit, determining a target distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit, wherein the second parameter value is a parameter value adjusted by a user for a target parameter of the second air conditioner indoor unit;

[0050] Step S103: determining a third parameter value of the target parameter of the first air conditioner indoor unit based on the first parameter value, the second parameter value, the target distance and a preset distance, so that the first air conditioner indoor unit operates according to the third parameter value.

[0051] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied in a terminal device, for example, in a multi-split air conditioner, can also be applied in a server in communication connection with the terminal device, and can also be applied in a system composed of the terminal device and the server, which is not limited here. For the sake of convenience, the method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below by taking application in a multi-split air conditioner as an example.

[0052] It should be noted that the multi-split air conditioner can include multiple air conditioner indoor units, and the installation position of each air conditioner indoor unit in space can be selected according to actual needs. The multiple air conditioner indoor units can transmit signals through wireless communication modes such as radar, infrared and Bluetooth, or can communicate through wired mode, which is not limited here.

[0053] The first air conditioner indoor unit in step S101 can be any air conditioner indoor unit in a multi-split air conditioner, and the target parameter can be any parameter that can be adjusted during operation of the air conditioner indoor unit. The target parameter includes but is not limited to temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind barrier, wind direction, etc. The first parameter value can be the parameter value of the target parameter of the first air conditioner indoor unit before receiving the parameter value sent by the other air conditioner indoor unit.

[0054] The determination mode of the first parameter value can be: if the first air conditioner indoor unit receives a user adjustment instruction for the target parameter, the adjustment parameter value corresponding to the adjustment instruction is taken as the first parameter value; or if the first air conditioner indoor unit does not receive a user adjustment instruction for the target parameter, the default parameter value of the target parameter corresponding to the first air conditioner indoor unit is taken as the first parameter value.

[0055] Specifically, if the first air conditioner indoor unit receives a user adjustment instruction for the target parameter, for example, when the target parameter is the set temperature, the user can adjust the first air conditioner indoor unit through a remote controller, a control panel or voice control, etc. In some embodiments, if the user adjusts the temperature of the first air conditioner indoor unit through the remote controller, the user can input a specific set temperature value, and after the user's input operation is completed, the remote controller can generate an adjustment instruction and send it to the first air conditioner indoor unit. When the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the adjustment instruction, it analyzes the adjustment instruction to obtain the set temperature value input by the user as the first parameter value. In other embodiments, if the user adjusts the temperature of the first air conditioner indoor unit through voice control, the adjustment instruction can be the user's voice control instruction, such as "adjust the temperature to 26°C", and the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the set temperature carried in the adjustment instruction as the first parameter value.

[0056] If the first air conditioner indoor unit does not receive a user adjustment instruction for the target parameter, the first parameter value can be the default parameter value of the first air conditioner indoor unit, where the default parameter value can be the parameter value currently running by the air conditioner indoor unit, or the parameter value pre-set in the air conditioner indoor unit system, etc., which is not limited here.

[0057] In some embodiments, if the first air conditioner indoor unit is in a running state, the currently running parameter value can be taken as the first parameter value. Still taking the set temperature as an example, if the first air conditioner indoor unit is currently running at a set temperature of 27°C, the first parameter value is 27°C. In other embodiments, if the first air conditioner indoor unit is in a standby or shutdown state, the parameter value of the first air conditioner indoor unit stored for the next startup default running can be taken as the first parameter value.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present specification, if the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the adjustment instruction of the target parameter by the user, the following step can also be included: determining a first time when the adjustment instruction is received; determining a second time when the second parameter value is received by the first air conditioner indoor unit; if the time difference between the second time and the first time is greater than a preset time length, determining the target distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit. If the time difference between the second time and the first time is less than or equal to the preset time length, the first air conditioner indoor unit is controlled to operate according to the adjustment parameter value corresponding to the adjustment instruction.

[0059] Specifically, if the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the adjustment instruction, it can be preferentially operated according to the user's adjustment instruction for a preset time length, which can be set according to actual needs, for example, the preset time length can be 10 min, 20 min, etc. Still taking the set temperature as the target parameter as an example, if the user sends an adjustment instruction through the remote controller to adjust the temperature of the first air conditioner indoor unit to 26℃, after the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the adjustment instruction, it can be operated according to the set temperature 26℃, and the first time when the adjustment instruction is received is recorded. During the operation of the first air conditioner indoor unit at 26℃, if the second air conditioner indoor unit also receives the adjustment instruction of the target parameter by the user, the second air conditioner indoor unit will send the second parameter value corresponding to the adjustment instruction to other air conditioner indoor units. When the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the second parameter value sent by the second air conditioner, the second time when the second parameter value is received is recorded, and the time difference between the second time and the first time is calculated. If the time difference is less than or equal to the preset time length, the first air conditioner indoor unit does not adjust the current target parameter, and still operates at 26℃, that is, it preferentially operates according to the user's adjustment instruction. If the time difference is greater than the preset time length, it indicates that there is a long time interval from the last adjustment by the user, at this time, the target parameter of the first air conditioner indoor unit can be adjusted according to the second parameter value, and step S102 can be further executed.

[0060] In addition, when the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the adjustment instruction of the target parameter by the user, the adjustment parameter value corresponding to the adjustment instruction can also be sent to other air conditioner indoor units, so that other air conditioner indoor units determine whether to adjust their target parameters according to the received adjustment parameter value.

[0061] In step S102, the second air conditioner indoor unit can be any indoor unit in the multi-split air conditioner except the first air conditioner indoor unit. It should be noted that when the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit are close to each other, when the user adjusts the target parameter of the second air conditioner indoor unit, the target parameter of the first air conditioner indoor unit can be adjusted cooperatively to make the environment meet the target parameter demand set by the user quickly.

[0062] For example, there are multiple air conditioner indoor units in the same space, for example, in a large office area, because the area space is large, multiple air conditioner indoor units can be arranged to achieve adjustment of the environmental parameters. For several air conditioner indoor units that are close to each other, if the user adjusts one of the air conditioner indoor units, the several air conditioner indoor units close to each other can be synchronously adjusted, so that the user does not need to manually adjust each air conditioner indoor unit in turn, and rapid adjustment of the environment in which the several air conditioner indoor units are located can be achieved.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present specification, the target distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit can be determined in various ways. In some embodiments, a ranging sensor such as a radar can be installed on the air conditioner indoor unit, and the target distance between the indoor units can be detected by the ranging sensor. In other embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit or the server can have a pre-stored indoor unit distance table, which can include the distances between all air conditioner indoor units in the environmental area. When the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the second parameter value sent by the second air conditioner indoor unit, the target distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit can be obtained by querying the locally saved indoor unit distance table or sending a query request for the indoor unit distance table to the server.

[0064] In step S103, the target parameter of the first air conditioner indoor unit can be adjusted according to the first parameter value, the second parameter value, the target distance, and the preset distance. It should be noted that the preset distance can be set according to actual needs, for example, the preset distance can be 30m, 50m, etc. Since the user has adjusted the second air conditioner indoor unit, the second air conditioner indoor unit is a device acting on the area where the user is located. If the target distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit is within the preset distance, it means that the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit are close to each other, i.e., they can be regarded as devices acting on the area where the user is located. In order to quickly meet the user's needs in this area, the parameter value of the first air conditioner indoor unit can be adjusted according to the second parameter value of the second air conditioner indoor unit. If the target distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit is greater than the preset distance, the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit are far apart, so adjusting the first air conditioner indoor unit may have little effect on the area where the user is located, and since the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit are far apart, the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit can act on different areas where users are located. Therefore, in order to avoid affecting other users' environments, the proportion of the first air conditioner indoor unit adjusting with the second air conditioner indoor unit can be appropriately reduced, or the first air conditioner indoor unit can not be adjusted.

[0065] For example, if multiple air conditioner indoor units are arranged in a large office area, if a user adjusts the temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit P in the area where the user is located, the air conditioner indoor unit in the area where the user is located can be automatically adjusted synchronously, wherein the air conditioner indoor units that are automatically adjusted synchronously are all within a preset distance from the air conditioner indoor unit P. As for the air conditioner indoor unit Q that is far away, since the air conditioner indoor unit Q has little influence on the area where the user is located, and is very likely to be responsible for the environmental adjustment of other areas, even if the air conditioner indoor unit Q receives the parameter value sent by the air conditioner indoor unit P, the target parameter of the air conditioner indoor unit Q is not adjusted.

[0066] In some embodiments, step S103 can be implemented by the following steps: if the target distance is less than the preset distance, determining the correlation coefficient between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit based on the target distance and the preset distance; determining the third parameter value based on the correlation coefficient between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit, the first parameter value and the second parameter value.

[0067] Specifically, when the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the second parameter value sent by the second air conditioner indoor unit, if the target distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit is less than the preset distance, the correlation coefficient r between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit can be calculated by the following formula:

[0068] r = 1 - target distance / preset distance

[0069] The third parameter value can be obtained by the following formula:

[0070] Third parameter value = first parameter value + r (second parameter value - first parameter value)

[0071] For example, a user sends a temperature adjustment instruction to the second air conditioner indoor unit (air conditioner indoor unit A) through a remote controller or a control panel, and sets the temperature to 26°C. After receiving the instruction, the air conditioner indoor unit A operates at 26°C and sends the second parameter value to other indoor units in the surrounding area through radar. The first air conditioner indoor unit (air conditioner indoor unit B) receives the second parameter value sent by the air conditioner indoor unit A, determines the target distance between the air conditioner indoor unit A and the air conditioner indoor unit B, and if the target distance is 10 m and the preset distance is 50 m, the correlation coefficient r between the two is calculated by the above formula: r = 1 - 10 / 50 = 0.8. If the current device temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit B is 30°C, i.e. the first parameter value is 30°C, then the third parameter value of the air conditioner indoor unit B after automatic adjustment is:

[0072] 30 + 0.8 x (26 - 30) = 26.8°C

[0073] Therefore, the set temperature of the first air conditioner indoor unit can be adjusted to the third parameter value, i.e., 26.8℃. If the adjustment accuracy of the first air conditioner indoor unit cannot be adjusted to 26.8℃, the target parameter can be adjusted to the parameter value closest to 26.8℃ according to the accuracy of the first air conditioner indoor unit, which is not limited here.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present specification, after determining the third parameter value, the first air conditioner indoor unit operates at the third parameter value, and if the fourth parameter value sent by the third air conditioner indoor unit is received again during the operation of the first air conditioner indoor unit at the third parameter value, the target parameter of the first air conditioner indoor unit can be continuously adjusted, and the specific steps are as follows: during the operation of the first air conditioner indoor unit at the third parameter value, if the fourth parameter value sent by the third air conditioner indoor unit is received by the first air conditioner indoor unit, the distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the third air conditioner indoor unit is determined, wherein the fourth parameter value is the parameter value adjusted by the user for the target parameter of the third air conditioner indoor unit; if the distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the third air conditioner indoor unit is less than the preset distance, the correlation coefficient between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the third air conditioner indoor unit is determined based on the distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the third air conditioner indoor unit and the preset distance; the fifth parameter value of the first air conditioner indoor unit is determined based on the correlation coefficient between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the third air conditioner indoor unit, the third parameter value and the fourth parameter value, so that the first air conditioner indoor unit operates according to the fifth parameter value.

[0075] For example, the user sends temperature adjustment instructions to the second air conditioner indoor unit (air conditioner indoor unit C) and the third air conditioner indoor unit (air conditioner indoor unit D) in sequence through the remote controller or the control panel, adjusts the set temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit C to 26℃ (the second parameter value), and adjusts the set temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit D to 28℃ (the fourth parameter value). The air conditioner indoor unit C and the air conditioner indoor unit D save the set temperature received by each of them for a preset time (such as 10 min), and keep the set temperature unchanged within the preset time.

[0076] Since the user first adjusts the set temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit C and then adjusts the set temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit D, after receiving the temperature adjustment instruction, the air conditioner indoor unit C first sends the second parameter value 26°C to the surrounding indoor units, so the first air conditioner indoor unit (air conditioner indoor unit E) will first receive the second parameter value sent by the air conditioner indoor unit C. When the air conditioner indoor unit E receives the second parameter value, it can calculate the correlation coefficient between the air conditioner indoor unit C according to the above-mentioned manner. If the distance between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit C is 10m and the preset distance is 50m, the correlation coefficient r1 between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit C is 1-10 / 50=0.8. If the first parameter value of the air conditioner indoor unit E is 30°C, the temperature value of the air conditioner indoor unit E after adjustment with the air conditioner indoor unit C is calculated as: 30+0.8x(26-30)=26.8°C. If the adjustment accuracy of the first air conditioner indoor unit is 0.5°C, the third parameter value can be set as 26.5°C, and the first air conditioner indoor unit E can run at 26.5°C.

[0077] Since the user adjusts the air conditioner indoor unit C after adjusting the air conditioner indoor unit D, after receiving the temperature adjustment instruction, the air conditioner indoor unit D sends the fourth parameter value 28°C to the surrounding indoor units. During the running of the first air conditioner indoor unit E at 26.5°C, if the fourth parameter value sent by the air conditioner indoor unit D is received, the fourth parameter value can be adjusted again on the basis of the currently running third parameter value. Specifically, if the distance between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit D is 20m and the preset distance is 50m, the correlation coefficient r2 between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit D is 1-20 / 50=0.6. Then, the fifth parameter value of the first air conditioner indoor unit is: 26.5+0.6x(28-26.5)=27.4°C, which is about 27.5°C.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present specification, if the first air conditioner indoor unit simultaneously receives the adjustment parameters sent by the second air conditioner indoor unit and the fourth air conditioner indoor unit, the target parameters of the first air conditioner indoor unit can be adjusted by the following steps: if the first air conditioner indoor unit simultaneously receives the second parameter value sent by the second air conditioner indoor unit and the sixth parameter value sent by the fourth air conditioner indoor unit, the distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the fourth air conditioner indoor unit is determined, wherein the sixth parameter value is the parameter value adjusted by the user for the target parameters of the fourth air conditioner indoor unit; if the distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the fourth air conditioner indoor unit is less than the preset distance, the correlation coefficient between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the fourth air conditioner indoor unit is determined based on the distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the fourth air conditioner indoor unit and the preset distance; the first parameter change amount of the first air conditioner indoor unit is determined based on the correlation coefficient between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit, the first parameter value and the second parameter value; the second parameter change amount of the first air conditioner indoor unit is determined based on the correlation coefficient between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the fourth air conditioner indoor unit, the first parameter value and the sixth parameter value; the first parameter change amount and the second parameter change amount are averaged, and the third parameter value is determined based on the average result and the first parameter.

[0079] For example, the second air conditioner indoor unit (air conditioner indoor unit C) and the fourth air conditioner indoor unit (air conditioner indoor unit F) respectively receive the temperature adjustment instruction of the user, adjust the set temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit C to 26°C (second parameter value), and adjust the set temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit F to 28°C (sixth parameter value). The air conditioner indoor unit C and the air conditioner indoor unit D save the set temperature received by each of them for a preset time (such as 10 minutes), and keep the set temperature unchanged within the preset time.

[0080] After receiving the instructions, the air conditioner indoor unit C and the air conditioner indoor unit F operate according to the set temperature received by each of them within the preset time, and the air conditioner indoor unit C sends the second parameter value 26°C to the surrounding indoor units, and the air conditioner indoor unit F sends the sixth parameter value 28°C to the surrounding indoor units. If the first air conditioner indoor unit (air conditioner indoor unit E) simultaneously receives the second parameter value and the sixth parameter value sent by the air conditioner indoor unit C and the air conditioner indoor unit F, the distance between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit C, and the distance between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit F are determined, and the correlation coefficients between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the second air conditioner indoor unit, and the first air conditioner indoor unit and the fourth air conditioner indoor unit are calculated according to the calculation formula of the correlation coefficient.

[0081] If the distance between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit C is 10 m, the distance between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit F is 20 m, and the preset distance is 50 m, the correlation coefficient between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit C is 1-10 / 50=0.8, and the correlation coefficient between the air conditioner indoor unit E and the air conditioner indoor unit F is 1-20 / 50=0.6.

[0082] The first parameter variation is 0.8x(26-30)=3.2, and the second parameter variation is 0.6x(28-30)=1.2. The calculation method of the third parameter value can be 30+[0.8x(26-30)+0.6x(28-30)] / 2=27.8℃, which is about 27.5℃.

[0083] It should be noted that when the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the parameter value of the target parameter sent by other air conditioner indoor units, it is not limited to receiving the parameter value sent by one or two air conditioner indoor units. The above description is only an example. When the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the parameter value of the target parameter sent by more than two air conditioner indoor units, the target parameter of the first air conditioner indoor unit can be adjusted according to the order of receiving the parameter value sent by multiple air conditioner indoor units or the parameter value received at the same time through the above method. Here, no limitation is made.

[0084] In some embodiments, if the first air conditioner indoor unit receives the parameter value of the target parameter sent by other air conditioner indoor units, and the distance between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner indoor unit is greater than the preset distance, the correlation coefficient between the first air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner indoor unit is 0, that is, the first air conditioner indoor unit still operates according to the original first parameter value and does not perform parameter adjustment.

[0085] In summary, the scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application considers that when a user adjusts the parameter of an air conditioner indoor unit, the user indicates that the demand for the air conditioner indoor unit is the largest, but cannot indicate that there is no adjustment demand for other surrounding air conditioner indoor units. In order to quickly make the environment meet the user's demand, the scheme realizes the cooperative adjustment among multiple indoor units through the distance between the air conditioner indoor units and the parameter value corresponding to the user adjustment instruction, without the need for the user to manually adjust each air conditioner indoor unit, reduces the user operation, and through the synchronous adjustment of multiple air conditioner indoor units, the environment can meet the user's demand more quickly, effectively improving the user experience.
