[0036] Based on the above steps S1 to S3, by setting an auxiliary electric heating device in the air conditioner, when the current mode of the air conditioner indoor unit is the heating mode, according to the current state of the air conditioner obtained, and the size relationship between the current ambient temperature data and the antifreeze temperature and the electric heating starting temperature set by the user, the air conditioner is selectively controlled to be turned on or off, the electric heating device is turned on or off, and the heating mode is selectively controlled to operate with parameters corresponding to the size relationship, so that when the air conditioner indoor unit is in the heating mode, the air conditioner is selectively controlled according to the current state of the air conditioner obtained, and the size relationship between the current ambient temperature data and the antifreeze temperature and the electric heating starting temperature set by the user, and further, when the air conditioner is turned off, the air conditioner is selectively controlled according to the size relationship between the current ambient temperature data and the two temperatures set by the user, thereby avoiding the problem in the prior art that when the ambient temperature is too low and the user cannot start the air conditioner in time, indoor items are easily frozen, causing property loss to the user.

[0037] Specifically, in some embodiments, according to the current state of the air conditioner, and the size relationship between the current ambient temperature data and the antifreeze temperature and the electric heating start temperature set by the user, selectively controlling the air conditioner to turn on or off, the electric heating device to turn on or off, and selectively controlling the heating mode to operate with parameters corresponding to the size relationship include: if the current state of the air conditioner is off, then judging whether the current ambient temperature data is lower than the electric heating start temperature set by the user: if the judgment is no, keeping the air conditioner in the off state; if the judgment is yes, then judging whether the current ambient temperature data is lower than the antifreeze temperature set by the user: if the current ambient temperature data is lower than the antifreeze temperature set by the user, turning on the air conditioner and controlling the air conditioner to execute the heating mode with preset antifreeze parameters, wherein the antifreeze parameters include at least the minimum wind speed; if the judgment is no, keeping the air conditioner in the off state.

[0038] Specifically, in some embodiments, the selective control of turning on or off the air conditioner, turning on or off the electric heating device, and selectively controlling the heating mode to operate with parameters corresponding to the size relationship according to the current state of the air conditioner and the size relationship between the current ambient temperature data and the antifreeze temperature and the electric heating start temperature set by the user includes: if the current state of the air conditioner is turned on, obtaining the heating parameters of the heating mode set by the user, and judging whether the current ambient temperature data is lower than the electric heating start temperature set by the user: if the judgment is no, controlling the air conditioner to execute the heating mode with the heating parameters set by the user, and turning off the electric heating of the air conditioner; if the judgment is yes, judging whether the current ambient temperature data is lower than the antifreeze temperature set by the user: if the current ambient temperature data is lower than the antifreeze temperature set by the user, controlling the air conditioner to execute the heating mode with the first preset parameters, and turning on the electric heating of the air conditioner, wherein the first preset parameters at least include the maximum wind speed; if the judgment is no, controlling the air conditioner to execute the heating mode with the heating parameters set by the user, and turning on the electric heating of the air conditioner.

When the current ambient temperature data is higher than the electric heating start temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the heating mode with the parameters set by the user and turn off the electric heating, thereby ensuring heating while turning off the electric heating in time, thereby avoiding excessive energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments, if the current state of the air conditioner is turned on, and based on the relationship between the current ambient temperature data and the antifreeze temperature and the electric heating start temperature set by the user, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the heating mode with the heating parameters set by the user, and the electric heating of the air conditioner is turned off, the method further includes: after a preset auxiliary electric heating start time, obtaining the current indoor temperature value of the air conditioner, if the current indoor temperature value of the air conditioner has reached the target temperature for heating, turning off the electric heating of the air conditioner; if the current indoor temperature value of the air conditioner has not reached the target temperature for heating, turning on the electric heating of the air conditioner. The heating is turned on, and after a preset period of time, the current indoor temperature value of the air conditioner is obtained again, and the electric heating of the air conditioner is selectively turned on or off according to the result of whether the current indoor temperature value of the air conditioner reaches the target temperature for heating. If the current ambient temperature data is lower than the antifreeze temperature set by the user, the electric heating of the air conditioner is turned on and the on state is locked regardless of whether the current indoor temperature value of the air conditioner reaches the target temperature for heating. The on state of the electric heating of the air conditioner is unlocked until the current ambient temperature data is equal to or higher than the antifreeze temperature set by the user.
