[0056] It should be noted that the execution subject of the linkage control method of the ducted air conditioner of the embodiments of the present application can be a hardware device with data information processing capability and / or necessary software required to drive the hardware device to work.

[0057] Optionally, the execution subject can include but is not limited to a workstation, a server, a computer, a user terminal and other intelligent devices. The user terminal includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a computer, a smart voice interactive device, a smart home appliance, a vehicle-mounted terminal and the like.

[0058] In step S100 of some embodiments, an indoor unit operation instruction issued by a user is received.

[0059] It can be understood that the controller receives an indoor unit operation instruction issued by a user through a terminal device such as a sound, a remote controller, a mobile phone and the like.

[0060] In step S200 of some embodiments, the indoor unit operation instruction is analyzed and processed to determine a number of indoor units indicated by the indoor unit operation instruction to be operated.

[0061] It can be understood that after the step of receiving the indoor unit operation instruction issued by the user in step S100 is executed, the specific execution step can be to analyze and process the indoor unit operation instruction to determine a number of indoor units indicated by the indoor unit operation instruction to be operated.

[0062] In step S300 of some embodiments, in a case where the number of indoor units is indicated as multiple, position information of each of the indoor units to be operated in a preset house layout diagram is acquired, and a number of users of a room corresponding to each of the indoor units to be operated is identified.

[0063] It can be understood that after the step S200 of analyzing and processing the indoor unit operation instruction is executed, the specific execution step can be: in the case where the indoor unit quantity is indicated as multiple, the position information of each to-be-operated indoor unit in the preset house layout diagram is obtained, and the user quantity of each room corresponding to each to-be-operated indoor unit is recognized.

[0064] That is, the position information of each to-be-operated indoor unit is obtained, and the user quantity of each room corresponding to each to-be-operated indoor unit is recognized through the infrared recognition function of each indoor unit.

[0065] In step S400 of some embodiments, according to the user quantity of each room and the position information of the to-be-operated indoor unit of each room, a target indoor unit with the same quantity as the indoor unit quantity is determined from the plurality of to-be-operated indoor units, and the target indoor unit is controlled to operate according to the indoor unit operation instruction.

[0066] It can be understood that after the step S300 is executed, the specific execution step can be: first, the to-be-operated indoor units of each room are sorted according to the user quantity of the corresponding room, and the to-be-operated indoor units with a user quantity greater than a preset threshold quantity are determined.

[0067] According to the position information of the to-be-operated indoor unit of each room, the target indoor unit is determined from the plurality of to-be-operated indoor units with a user quantity greater than a preset threshold quantity.

[0068] The to-be-operated indoor units of each room are sorted according to the user quantity of the corresponding room, and the to-be-operated indoor units with a user quantity greater than a preset threshold quantity are determined, such as user quantities of 4, 3, 0, 1, and 0. The preset threshold quantity is 1, so the to-be-operated indoor units with a user quantity greater than the preset threshold quantity, i.e., the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 4 and the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 3, are screened out.

[0069] According to the position information of the to-be-operated indoor unit of each room, the target indoor unit is determined from the plurality of to-be-operated indoor units with a user quantity greater than a preset threshold quantity. If the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 4 and the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 3 are in an adjacent relationship, then the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 4 and the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 3 are both target indoor units. If the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 4 and the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 3 are in a spaced relationship, then the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 4 is a target indoor unit, or the indoor unit in the room with a user quantity of 3 is a target indoor unit.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the target indoor unit at least comprises: a first indoor unit, a second indoor unit.

[0071] After the step of controlling the target indoor unit to operate according to the indoor unit operation instruction, the method further comprises:

[0072] In the case that the first indoor unit receives the function operation instruction and the second indoor unit does not receive the function operation instruction, according to the position information of the first indoor unit and the position information of the second indoor unit, the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is determined.

[0073] According to the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit, it is judged whether the function operation instruction is sent to the second indoor unit.

[0074] It can be understood that, assuming that the indoor unit in the room with the number of users of 4 is the first indoor unit, and the indoor unit with the number of users of 3 is the second indoor unit.

[0075] In the case that the first indoor unit receives the function operation instruction and the second indoor unit does not receive the function operation instruction, according to the position information of the first indoor unit and the position information of the second indoor unit, the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is determined.

[0076] As Figure 2 shown is a schematic diagram of the position relationship of the indoor unit provided by the present application, taking the first indoor unit as device A and the second indoor unit as device B as an example, then the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit are in adjacent relationship. Taking the first indoor unit as device A and the second indoor unit as device C as an example, then the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit are in interval relationship.

[0077] Further, the device D is in adjacent relationship with the device B / device C, and is in interval relationship with the device A.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, according to the position information of the first indoor unit and the position information of the second indoor unit, a position layout diagram of the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is constructed.

[0079] The position layout diagram of the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is matched with the house layout diagram, and the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is determined.

[0080] Further, according to the position information of the first indoor unit and the position information of the second indoor unit, a position layout of the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is constructed, the position layout of the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is matched with the house layout, and the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is determined.

[0081] For example, the first indoor unit is device A, the second indoor unit is device D, a position layout is constructed for device A and device D, the position layout is matched with the house layout, and the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is determined as a spaced relationship.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the step of determining whether to send the function running instruction to the second indoor unit according to the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit can be specifically as follows:

[0083] In the case that the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit indicates an adjacent relationship, it is determined to send the function running instruction to the second indoor unit, so that the second indoor unit synchronously runs the same running function as the first indoor unit, thereby improving the experience of the user.

[0084] In the case that the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit indicates a spaced relationship, it is determined not to send the function running instruction to the second indoor unit, and the second indoor unit is not synchronized with the first indoor unit to run the same running function.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, after the step of controlling the target indoor unit to run according to the indoor unit running instruction, the method further comprises:

[0086] In the case that the running duration of the target indoor unit is greater than or equal to a preset duration threshold, the number of users in the room corresponding to the target indoor unit is identified.

[0087] In the case that it is determined that there is no user in the room corresponding to the target indoor unit, a shutdown instruction is generated, and the target indoor unit is controlled to shut down according to the shutdown instruction.

[0088] It can be understood that, after the step of controlling the target indoor unit to run according to the indoor unit running instruction, a timer is used to count the running duration of the target indoor unit, and the running duration of the target indoor unit is compared with the preset duration threshold. In the case that the running duration of the target indoor unit is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, the number of users in the room corresponding to the target indoor unit is identified. For example, the target indoor unit has run for 30 minutes, and the number of users in the room is identified.

[0089] In the case that the number of users is 0, that is, there is no user in the room corresponding to the target indoor unit, a stop command is generated, and the target indoor unit is controlled to stop running according to the stop command, so as to realize energy saving.

The single room line controller controls only the corresponding air conditioner during performance adjustment, and the adjustment of additional functions such as negative ions and purification filtration is controlled in linkage. The running device information is fed back in concentration, and if the adjacent devices are running, the additional functions are changed synchronously. If the adjacent devices are not running, the additional functions are not started. The devices in the interval relationship are not running synchronously.
