In the following technical description, in order to facilitate explanation, a plurality of details are provided to provide a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, one or more embodiments can still be implemented without these details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices can be simplified to facilitate the drawings.

[0031] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the embodiments of the present disclosure and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0032] Unless otherwise specified, the term "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the character " / " represents an "or" relationship between the preceding and following objects. For example, A / B represents: A or B.

[0034] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, which means that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B, the three relationships.

[0035] The term "corresponding" can refer to an association or binding relationship. A and B correspond to each other means that there is an association or binding relationship between A and B.

[0036] Currently, with the rapid development of science and technology, the functions of household appliances are more diversified. Air conditioners are used more frequently in spring and summer. High-frequency use of air conditioners can shorten the remaining life of consumables. When the remaining life of consumables reaches a certain threshold, the consumables need to be replaced. In general, users do not record the use of consumables, so they cannot replace the consumables in time. Therefore, how to determine the life information of consumables in time has become a technical problem that needs to be solved at present.

[0037] The related technology discloses a consumable information acquisition method, including: S1: obtaining the life information of the consumable according to the identification of the consumable. S2: calculating the life information of the consumable according to the life information and the use information. S3: controlling the terminal to load the operation interface containing the remaining life. According to the life information and the use information, the remaining life of the consumable is calculated, including: the current installation time, the use frequency and the use time of the consumable are used to calculate the remaining life of the consumable. Through the above method, the user does not need to disassemble and detect the consumables, which reduces the operation difficulty of the user, and the consumable condition is displayed in time when the user uses the household appliance, avoiding the influence of the depletion of the consumables on the normal use of the household appliance.

[0038] However, the life of the consumable will be affected by the use environment when it is not used, for example, the temperature and humidity of the environment or the pollution degree of the environment. The related technology only calculates the remaining life of the consumable from the installation time, the use frequency and the use time of the consumable, and the remaining life of the consumable obtained by the calculation does not match the actual remaining life, and the consumable is easily overused, but still determined to be within the use life. Therefore, the accuracy of the remaining life of the consumable calculated by the related technology is poor.

[0043] The method for prompting the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can prevent the service life of the consumable from being affected by the environment in the case of long-term non-use. If the air conditioner is not used for a long time, the service life of the consumable will be greatly shortened or even invalid. However, the service life of the consumable is less related to the actual use environment of the consumable. In order to improve the accuracy of the remaining service life of the consumable, the embodiment of the present disclosure calculates the remaining service life of the consumable from two aspects of self-use factors and actual environmental factors, and the remaining service life obtained by the calculation is closer to the actual remaining service life. Meanwhile, the embodiment of the present disclosure pushes the prompt information when the remaining service life meets the triggering condition, so as to prompt the replacement of the consumable. In this way, the user can be reminded to replace the consumable in time, so as to avoid the situation that the normal use of the air conditioner is affected due to the failure to replace the consumable in time, and the user experience is improved.

As an example, the processor pushes the voice information associated with the consumable to the terminal device associated with the air conditioner. Alternatively, the processor pushes the voice information associated with the consumable to the smart home appliance device associated with the air conditioner. In a specific embodiment, the processor pushes the voice information associated with the consumable to the mobile device associated with the air conditioner, and the voice information includes "the deodorizing module will be invalid soon, please replace it as soon as possible". In another specific embodiment, the processor pushes the text information associated with the consumable to the mobile device associated with the air conditioner, and the text information includes "the deodorizing module is close to invalid, please replace it in time".

[0047] It should be noted that the prompt information also includes the remaining service life.

Effective resting time T un This indicates the effective duration for which the consumable is left idle. As an example, if the actual idle time of the consumable is less than T... un At that time, the consumable is in a valid state. The actual static time of the consumable is greater than or equal to T. un At that time, the consumables were in an ineffective state.

[0052] The processor obtains the current query time T. i And the installation time T0 for consumables.

[0053] The processor according to T i And T0, determine T i The air conditioner's operating time T during the time period -T0 k .

[0054] The processor obtains the consumable wear L according to the following formula. was and stationary loss L un :

[0055]

[0056] Thus, according to the cumulative power-on time T, this embodiment of the disclosure... total and T i -Running time T of the air conditioner during the time period T0 k Use loss L was The calculation, and based on T i -T0 time period, effective resting time T un And air conditioning in T i -Running time T of the air conditioner during the time period T0k Static loss L un The calculation allows for the determination of usage loss L by combining specific usage factors of the consumables with environmental factors. was and stationary loss L un This will help improve the accuracy of loss information calculation and further improve the accuracy of the remaining lifespan of consumables.

[0059] S i =(1-L) was -L un )×100%.

[0060] Thus, this embodiment of the disclosure considers both usage loss and idle loss, calculating the percentage by subtracting the usage loss and idle loss from the value 1. This results in a calculated remaining service life that is closer to the actual remaining service life, avoiding situations where consumables are overused but still considered to have a remaining service life, thereby improving the accuracy of consumable remaining service life calculation.

[0061] Combination Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, another notification method for air conditioners is provided, including:

[0065] S14, the processor obtains the consumable usage loss L according to the following formula. was and stationary loss Lun :

[0066]

[0067] S15, the processor determines the remaining service life of the consumable according to the consumption information of the consumable.

[0068] S16, the processor pushes the prompt information associated with the consumable to prompt the replacement of the consumable in the case that the remaining service life meets the triggering condition.

[0069] S17, the processor updates the remaining service life of the consumable to the initial value of the service life and updates the installation time T0 of the consumable to the current response time in the case that the first response information is received.

[0070] S18, the processor keeps the remaining service life of the consumable and T0 unchanged in the case that the second response information is received.

[0071] The first response information is used to indicate that the consumable replacement operation has been performed, and the second response information is used to indicate that the consumable replacement operation is not performed.

[0072] The prompt method for the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the processor pushes the prompt information associated with the consumable, if the first response information is received, it indicates that the user has performed the consumable replacement operation. At this time, the remaining service life of the consumable needs to be recalculated, therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure updates the remaining service life of the consumable to the initial value of the service life and updates the installation time of the consumable to the current response time. If the second response information is received, it indicates that the user does not perform the consumable replacement operation. At this time, the embodiment of the present disclosure keeps the remaining service life of the consumable and the installation time of the consumable unchanged for the subsequent update calculation of the remaining service life. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can update or keep the remaining service life and / or the installation time according to the feedback of the user after sending the prompt information, which is beneficial to the accuracy of the subsequent consumable remaining life calculation.

[0073] Optionally, the first response information and the second response information can be voice information.

[0075] The processor keeps the remaining service life of the consumable and T0 unchanged in a case where the response information is not received, and pushes the prompt information associated with the consumable again.

[0076] In this way, the processor indicates that the user does not respond to the prompt information in a case where the response information is not received. At this time, the processor keeps the remaining service life of the consumable and T0 unchanged and pushes the prompt information associated with the consumable again to achieve the purpose of timely reminding the replacement of the consumable by pushing again.

[0077] Optionally, the processor pushes the prompt information associated with the consumable, including:

[0078] The processor pushes the prompt information associated with the consumable according to the information pushing rule.

[0079] The information pushing rule includes pushing the prompt information at a preset frequency. The preset frequency includes pushing once every preset number of days. The preset number of days is 7 days, 17 days or 30 days. It can be understood that the preset number of days can also be other values other than the above values.

[0080] In this way, the embodiment of the disclosure pushes the prompt information associated with the consumable according to the information pushing rule, so that the user receives the prompt information in the first time, which is beneficial to improve the timeliness of the consumable update reminder.
