[0074] Due to the control method of the air conditioner system, when the air conditioner is connected to the power supply again, it can actively control the air conditioner to emit a prompt sound, which is convenient for the user to find the air conditioner, and then the user does not need to prompt the remote control to emit a prompt sound through other operations, which is convenient for the user to use and improves the user experience. In addition, it can be known that when the power supply of the air conditioner is plugged into the socket by the user, the user will search for it in the place where the remote control is accustomed to being placed according to the usage habits. If at this time, the remote control is placed in the position where the user is accustomed to placing it, the user is likely to find the remote control, and the prompt sound emitted by the remote control at this time is not needed by the user. On the contrary, the issuance of the prompt sound will scare the user or make the user feel very noisy; however, if the remote control is not placed in the accustomed place, the user is likely to not find the remote control. Furthermore, the control method can determine whether the remote control is placed in the storage location set by the user in the search function by determining whether the current location is within the preset range of the storage location. When the current location is not within the preset range, the remote control can be controlled to emit a prompt sound, and the user can find the remote control through the sound. When the current location is within the preset range, the user can search for the remote control in the place where the user is used to placing the remote control, including the storage location, according to previous usage habits, and the control method will keep the air conditioner and / or remote control inactive to avoid the situation where the prompt sound scares or disturbs the user. Therefore, the control method can facilitate the user to find the remote control of the air conditioner, and make the function of the air conditioner to search for the remote control conform to the user's usage habits, facilitate the user's use, and improve the user experience.

[0075] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a control method of an air conditioner system according to another embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner system includes:

[0076] Step S402, after the air conditioner is connected to the power supply again, detect whether the air conditioner system is set to have a search function for finding the remote control; if so, execute step S404; if not, do nothing; or when it is detected that the air conditioner system is not set to have a search function, it is possible to detect whether the air conditioner system has received a request to set the search function, and when the air conditioner system has received a request to set the search function, execute step S502 of the following embodiment; or when it is detected that the air conditioner system is not set to have a search function, it is possible to execute step S602 of the following embodiment.

[0077] Step S404, obtaining the storage location of the remote control recorded in the set search function.

[0078] Step S406, obtaining the current position of the remote control.

[0079] Step S408, determine whether the current position is within the preset range of the storage position; if not, that is, if the current position is not within the preset range, execute step S410; if yes, that is, if the current position is within the preset range, execute step S414.

[0080] Step S410, control the remote controller to emit a prompt sound, and execute step S412 after a preset time.

[0081] Step S412, detect whether the remote controller has been taken by the user of the air conditioner; if not, execute the step of controlling the remote controller to emit a prompt sound, that is, return to step S410, and end the control method of this embodiment.

[0082] It can be understood that step S412 can ensure that the user can find the remote control.

[0083] In addition, at least one microcurrent (current value is less than 0.5 mA) transmitting contact area and at least one microcurrent receiving contact area may be respectively provided on both sides of the hand grip of the remote control. When the remote control is taken in the hand of the user, the microcurrent transmitting contact area reaches the microcurrent receiving contact area through the user's hand, and then it can be determined that the remote control is held in the hand of the user. When the microcurrent transmitting contact area and the microcurrent receiving contact area are not conductive, it can be determined that the remote control has not been taken by the user. A gyroscope sensor for detecting whether the remote control has been picked up, touched or moved may also be provided in the remote control. It is also possible to detect whether the air conditioner receives the remote control command transmitted by the remote control within a preset time period. If it is received, the remote control is taken by the user. If not, it is determined that the remote control has not been taken by the user. Furthermore, all of the above can detect whether the remote control has been taken by the user of the air conditioner.

[0084] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, when the current position is within the preset range, the control method further includes:

[0085] Step S414, keep the air conditioner and / or remote controller inactive; and execute step S416 after a predetermined time.

[0086] Step S416, determining whether the user of the air conditioner has taken the remote control; if not, executing step S418 or step S410; if so, ending the control method.

[0087] Step S418, obtaining spatial object layout information in the indoor space where the air conditioner is located.

[0088] Step S420, based on the spatial item layout information and the storage location, the prompt information of the items in the storage location or in the adjacent indoor space is determined. For example, if the location of the bedside table in the indoor space is consistent with the storage location, the prompt information that the remote control is in the bedside table can be determined. For another example, if the storage location is closest to the location of the TV in the indoor space and the storage location is located behind the location of the TV, the prompt information that the remote control is located behind the TV can be determined.

[0089] Step S422, notifying the user of the air conditioner of the prompt information.

[0090] It is understandable that after the user relies on memory to search for the remote control at the place where he usually places it, if the user still has not found the remote control after a predetermined period of time, it means that the user may have forgotten where it was placed. At this time, steps S416 to S422 can be used to remind the user of the approximate or precise location of the remote control so that the user can find the remote control, which is convenient for the user, conforms to the user's habit of finding the remote control, and improves the user experience.

[0091] In addition, after notifying the user of the air conditioner of the prompt information in step S422, the control method may also include determining again whether the user of the air conditioner has taken the remote control. If the user has taken the remote control, the control method is terminated; if the user still has not taken the remote control, the control method returns to step S422 to ensure that the user can find the remote control.

[0092] It is understandable that step S416 can be implemented by setting the same hardware or implementing the same control method as step S412 to determine whether the user has taken the remote control. And, step S418, obtain the spatial item layout information in the indoor space where the air conditioner is located, wherein the spatial item layout information can be generated by photographing and identifying the items in the indoor space by the camera device in the above embodiment, or it can be manually entered into the air conditioner system by the installer according to the length, width and height of the indoor space and the placement of indoor items when the air conditioner is installed in the indoor space. And step S422, notify the user of the air conditioner of the prompt information, wherein the prompt information is played to the user in the form of sound by the voice module in the above embodiment; it can also be a text message / audio message sent to the user's mobile phone through wireless communication technology; it can also be a text message displayed on the display screen set on the indoor unit of the air conditioner. To realize notifying the user of the air conditioner of the prompt information.

[0093] Figure 5 is one of the flow charts of a method for setting a search function in a control method of an air conditioner system according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 5In this embodiment, when the air conditioner system receives a setting request for the search function, the control method further includes:

[0094] Step S502, notifying the user of the air conditioner that the remote controller has been placed at the preset position within a specified time period.

[0095] Step S504, obtaining the location where the remote control is placed.

[0096] Step S506, detecting whether the air conditioner system has been set with a search function; if not, executing step S508; if so, executing step S510.

[0097] Step S508, the location where the remote controller is placed is recorded as the storage location. After step S508, the search function is set.

[0098] Step S510, updating the recorded storage location. After step S510, the search function is set.

[0099] It can be understood that the (re)setting of the search function can be achieved through step S502 to step S502.

[0100] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the setting request may be received by the air conditioner system when the air conditioner is installed in the indoor space and connected to the power supply for the first time, or may be received by the air conditioner system when the air conditioner is operating in a mode for adjusting the air in the indoor space where the air conditioner is located (for example, cooling mode, heating mode, ventilation mode, dehumidification mode, humidification mode, fresh air mode), or may be received by the air conditioner system when it is in standby mode. Since the air conditioner system may have the possibility of setting or not setting the search function in the aforementioned situations, the normal implementation of the control method can be ensured by step S506. The setting request may be a setting request sent by the user to the air conditioner system by operating the remote control (clicking or pressing the search setting button on the remote control) or by a mobile phone carried by the user.

[0101] In addition, step S502, notifying the user of the air conditioner that the remote control has been placed in the preset position within a specified time period, may be implemented in the form of the prompt information in step S422, or in the form of text information displayed on the display screen of the remote control.

[0102] Figure 6 FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method for setting a search function in a control method of an air conditioner system according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. Figure 6 In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is installed in the indoor space and connected to the power supply for the first time, the control method further includes:

[0103] Step S602: Sending a query message to the user of the air conditioner asking whether to set the search function.

[0104] Step S604, detect whether the air conditioner system has received feedback information of the inquiry information; if so, execute step S606; if not, end this control method, and return to execute step S602 in other situations, such as when the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, heating mode or standby mode.

[0105] Step S606, determine whether the feedback information is yes. If yes, execute step S608; if yes, the control method can be terminated, and step S602 can be executed before, when or after the air conditioner is powered off.

[0106] Step S608, notifying the user of the placement of the remote control to the preset position within a specified time period.

[0107] Step S610, obtaining the location where the remote control is placed.

[0108] Step S612, recording the location where the remote control is placed as the storage location.

[0109] It is understandable that the search function can also be set through steps S602 to S612. In addition, after the air conditioner is installed in the indoor space, the control method can directly ask the user whether to set the search function, so as to avoid the situation where the user forgets to set and has difficulty finding the remote control, thereby ensuring the user's experience of using the air conditioner.

[0110] In addition, the implementation form of step S602, sending the inquiry information of whether to set the search function to the user of the air conditioner, can be the same implementation form as step S502 to inquire whether the user sets the search function. And, correspondingly, when the control system plays the audio information of whether to set the search function through the voice module, step S604 detects whether the air conditioner system receives feedback information of the inquiry information, and the feedback information can also be the sound emitted by the user; when the control system sends text information / audio information to the user's mobile phone through wireless communication technology, the feedback information can also be the instruction information fed back by the user through the mobile phone, or the sound information emitted by the user collected by the mobile phone; when the air conditioner system displays the inquiry information on the panel display screen on the indoor unit of the air conditioner or the display screen on the remote control, the feedback information can also be the instruction information sent by the user by operating the remote control. And, step S608, notifying the user of the notification information of placing the remote control to the pre-placed position within the specified time, can be the same as the implementation form of step S502.

[0111] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived based on the content disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
