The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0032] In the description of the present disclosure, the terms used, such as "first", "second", etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily understood as a specific order or sequence. In addition, in the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same symbols in different drawings represent the same elements unless otherwise stated.

[0033] Although operations or steps are described in a specific order in the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, it should not be understood that it is required to perform these operations or steps in the specific order shown or in a serial order, or to perform all the operations or steps shown to obtain the desired results. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, these operations or steps can be performed in series; these operations or steps can also be performed in parallel; or some of these operations or steps can be performed.

[0034] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an applicable scenario of a control method for a multi-split air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the scene may include a multi-split air conditioner 10 and an electronic device 20. The multi-split air conditioner 10 is a device for adjusting and controlling parameters such as temperature, humidity, and flow rate of ambient air in a building or structure.

[0035] The multi-split air conditioner 10 may include an external unit and multiple internal units, the external unit may be referred to as an outdoor unit, and the internal unit may be referred to as an indoor unit. The internal unit may be used to regulate and process indoor air, the external unit may be used to realize cooling or heating functions, and the external unit and the internal unit work together to form a complete air conditioning system to provide users with a comfortable indoor environment. Here, the internal unit may include an internal unit device and a central control screen, and the central control screen may be used to receive or send data through a WiFi module. In addition, the central control screen may also be used to determine target operating parameters corresponding to characteristic parameters based on a target algorithm.

[0036] The multi-split air conditioner 10 refers to an outdoor unit connected to two or more indoor units through piping. The multi-split air conditioner 10 is a high-efficiency refrigerant air conditioning system that satisfies the indoor cooling and heating load requirements in a timely manner by controlling the refrigerant circulation volume of the compressor and the refrigerant flow entering the indoor heat exchanger. The multi-split air conditioner 10 can use a variable frequency compressor, a multi-stage compressor, an unloading compressor or a combination of multiple compressors to achieve compressor capacity control. An electronic expansion valve or other auxiliary circuit can be set in the refrigeration system to adjust the refrigerant flow entering the indoor unit, and the capacity of the heat exchanger can be adjusted by controlling the fan speed product of the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers. The multi-split air conditioner 10 can be in heating or cooling mode to adjust the indoor ambient temperature.

[0037] The electronic device 20 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer (PC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart watch, a netbook, a wearable electronic device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a robot, etc. Figure 1 The electronic device 20 shown in the figure is only an example of a terminal device, and the present application does not impose any special limitation on the specific form of the electronic device 20.

[0038] In some embodiments, a connection can be established between the multi-split air conditioner 10 and the electronic device 20 to perform data transmission, and the user can control the multi-split air conditioner 10 through the electronic device 20. Optionally, the multi-split air conditioner 10 can also receive user usage data of the electronic device 20 to intelligently control the multi-split air conditioner 10 through the data.

[0039] In addition, a remote control APP (Application) may be installed on the electronic device 20, and the user can operate the above APP on the electronic device 20 to remotely control the multi-split air conditioner 10 in the air conditioning network. Optionally, the multi-split air conditioner 10 may also be connected to a remote control device, which may be a remote control or a central control screen.

[0040] In the related art, when users in different rooms adjust the operation mode of their respective rooms, the operation mode of the outdoor unit will change multiple times, which cannot meet the actual needs of the users. In addition, the related art usually determines the operation mode based on time, space and environmental data, but does not determine the operation mode based on the user's personal habits, and cannot obtain the user's real needs.

[0041] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a multi-split air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the multi-split air conditioner may include the following steps.

[0042] In step S110, in response to the full-on control request sent by the electronic device, a target indoor unit is determined.

[0043] As an optional method, each indoor unit of a multi-split air conditioner can detect whether it has received a full-open control request sent by an electronic device. The full-open control request can be sent by triggering a specified control on a target application in the electronic device. The specified control can be a control related to the full-open operation, which can be called a full-open control.

[0044] For example, the display interface of the target application can be as follows: Figure 3As shown, when the electronic device detects that the user has triggered the full-on control 301 in the target application interface, it can send a full-on control request to each indoor unit participating in the centralized control in the multi-split air conditioner associated with it.

[0045] It should be noted that the interface of the target application may include not only the full-on control but also the full-off control, wherein after the full-on control is triggered, all indoor units participating in the centralized control may enter the on state; after the full-off control is triggered, all indoor units participating in the centralized control may enter the off state. If an indoor unit is set not to participate in the centralized control, it may not be controlled by the full-on control or the full-on control.

[0046] When receiving the full-open control request, the indoor unit participating in the centralized control in the multi-split air conditioner can first determine an indoor unit from multiple indoor units as the target indoor unit. The target indoor unit can be used to perform the operation mode screening operation and synchronize its screened target operation mode to other indoor units.

[0047] Specifically, the disclosed embodiment can use the indoor unit with relatively idle MCU (Microcontroller Unit) resources among multiple indoor units as the target indoor unit, and the indoor units other than the target indoor unit can be used as other indoor units. In this process, the outdoor unit of the multi-split air conditioner can be used to obtain the available resources of each indoor unit, and on this basis, the available resources of each indoor unit are compared, and the indoor unit with the largest available resources is used as the target indoor unit.

[0048] Optionally, the embodiment of the present disclosure may also obtain the network status of each indoor unit, and use the indoor unit in the networked state as the target indoor unit. In this process, if it is determined that there are multiple indoor units in the networked state, the MCU resources of each indoor unit in the networked state may be obtained, and the indoor unit with relatively idle MCU resources may be used as the target indoor unit. In addition, if it is determined that there are multiple indoor units in the networked state, the configuration / specification of each indoor unit in the networked state may also be obtained, and the indoor unit with higher configuration or the largest specification may be used as the target indoor unit.

[0049] Optionally, the disclosed embodiment may obtain the configuration or screen size of each indoor unit, and use the indoor unit whose configuration or screen size meets the preset condition as the target indoor unit. The preset condition may be that the configuration is higher than the preset configuration, or the screen size exceeds the preset size, or the specification is greater than the preset specification. Exemplarily, the indoor unit with the largest screen size among the multiple indoor units is used as the target indoor unit. For example, the indoor unit set in the living room usually has the largest screen size, so it can be used as the target indoor unit.

[0050] As a specific implementation, when receiving a full-open control request, the disclosed embodiment can determine whether the size of each indoor unit in the multi-split air conditioner is the same. If the sizes of multiple indoor units are different, the indoor unit with the largest size is used as the target indoor unit. Conversely, if it is determined that there are indoor units with different sizes in the multi-split air conditioner, the MCU resources of each indoor unit can be obtained, and the indoor unit with the most idle MCU resources is used as the target indoor unit.

[0051] The above-mentioned multiple methods of determining the target internal machine can be executed separately, or can be determined by combining at least one method. The specific combination will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In step S120, the predicted operating parameters sent by other indoor units are received, and the predicted operating parameters of the target indoor unit are determined according to the characteristic parameters of the target indoor unit itself.

[0053] As an optional method, after determining the target indoor unit, the embodiment of the present disclosure can receive the predicted operating parameters sent by other indoor units through the target indoor unit, and the target indoor unit can also determine the predicted operating parameters of the target indoor unit according to its own characteristic parameters. Here, the operating parameters of other indoor units can be obtained by each other indoor unit according to its own characteristic parameters, wherein the predicted operating parameters may include a predicted operating mode. Exemplarily, the predicted operating mode may include a heating mode or a cooling mode, etc.

[0054] In other words, after receiving the full-open control request, each indoor unit can obtain its own characteristic parameters, and on this basis, each indoor unit can obtain its own predicted operating parameters according to its built-in end-side preference algorithm. In this process, the target indoor unit and other indoor units can determine their corresponding predicted operating parameters according to their own characteristic parameters. It can be seen that both other indoor units and the target indoor unit can obtain predicted operating parameters through the built-in end-side preference algorithm.

[0055] Among them, the characteristic parameters may be historical characteristic parameters related to the internal machine operation parameters, which may include but are not limited to user information characteristic parameters, environmental characteristic parameters, time characteristic parameters, regional granularity statistical characteristic parameters and user granularity statistical characteristic parameters.

[0056] Among them, the user information characteristic parameters may include but are not limited to gender, age, occupation, whether there are children, consumption ability, etc.; environmental characteristic parameters may include but are not limited to the city where the user is located, outdoor temperature, indoor temperature and indoor humidity, etc.; time characteristic parameters may include but are not limited to month, whether it is a working day, hour, etc.; regional granular statistical characteristic parameters may include but are not limited to the average outdoor temperature, average indoor temperature, average indoor humidity of the city in the past n hours, the average outdoor temperature, average indoor temperature, average indoor humidity of the city in the past m days, and the group operation parameters of the city where the user is located in the past preset days, where n and m can both be 1; user granular statistical characteristic parameters may include but are not limited to the user's commonly used operation parameters in the past preset days, and the preset days may include 1, 3 and 7, etc. Optionally, the characteristic parameters of the indoor machine may also include historical operation parameters, such as historical operation time, etc.

[0057] Different indoor units in a multi-split air conditioner have different corresponding characteristic parameters. For example, the characteristic parameters sent by indoor unit 1 in a multi-split air conditioner include user information characteristic parameters and environmental characteristic parameters. For another example, the characteristic parameters sent by indoor unit 2 in a multi-split air conditioner include user information characteristic parameters, environmental characteristic parameters, time characteristic parameters, and user granularity statistical characteristic parameters. Moreover, the parameter values ​​corresponding to each indoor unit may also be different.

[0058] Specifically, when receiving a full-open control request sent by an electronic device, the target indoor machine can obtain its own characteristic parameters, and input the characteristic parameters into the target prediction model to obtain the predicted operating parameters corresponding to the target indoor machine. Similarly, when receiving a full-open control request sent by an electronic device, other indoor machines can also obtain their own characteristic parameters, and input the characteristic parameters into the target prediction model to obtain the predicted operating parameters corresponding to each other indoor machine, and then other indoor machines can send their respective obtained predicted operating parameters to the target indoor machine. In other words, the target indoor machine can receive the predicted operating parameters sent by other indoor machines.

[0059] That is to say, a target prediction model can be set in each indoor unit of the multi-split air conditioner, and the target prediction model can be obtained by training the historical usage data of multiple indoor units. First, the historical usage data of the indoor units is obtained, then the historical usage data is divided, and finally the initial model is trained with the training samples to obtain the target prediction model, and the target prediction model is verified with the verification data.

[0060] Since the acquired historical usage data may include operating parameters that cannot reflect the real needs of the user, for example, it may include operating parameters that are mistakenly set by the user. Therefore, the operating parameters that cannot reflect the real needs of the user can be removed. Exemplarily, within the operating cycle, the operating duration of each internal machine's historical operating parameter is determined, and the operating parameter whose operating duration accounts for a greater than a preset ratio (for example, 50%) is determined as the operating parameter of the user's real needs, that is, the operating parameter whose operating duration accounts for a greater than the preset ratio and the historical characteristic parameter corresponding to the operating parameter are determined as valid data. For example, the operating cycle is 60 minutes. If within the operating cycle, the operating duration of operating parameter a is only 2 minutes, it is confirmed that operating parameter a is an operating parameter mistakenly set by the user. At this time, operating parameter a and the historical characteristic parameter corresponding to operating parameter a are invalid data.

[0061] In addition, after the valid data is determined, the valid data can be divided into training samples and verification data, and the training of the target prediction model can be achieved based on the training samples and verification data.

[0062] In the disclosed embodiment, in addition to the predicted operating mode, the predicted operating parameters may also include at least one of temperature, wind speed and wind deflector angle. In the stage of evaluating the model using verification data, for the operating mode, the cooling mode and the heating mode are binary classification accuracies. For temperature, the multi-classification accuracy of the absolute deviation between the predicted temperature and the true temperature value within 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 degrees is determined respectively. For wind speed, the multi-classification accuracy of the absolute deviation between the predicted wind speed and the true wind speed value within 0, 1, and 2 levels is determined respectively. Among them, when evaluating the accuracy of the model, the automatic wind speed is an unbiased evaluation. In addition, the true value of temperature and the true value of wind speed are the temperature, wind speed, wind deflector angle, wind feeling, etc. actually set by the user in the verification data.

[0063] In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure can use a variety of machine learning models, such as the hierarchical + frequency preference model, the clustering + nearest neighbor algorithm model and the LightGBM model for training and verification to obtain the machine learning model with the highest accuracy.

[0064] From the above, we know that the input data of the target prediction model can be the characteristic parameters corresponding to each indoor machine, and the characteristic parameters can be collected by the indoor machine itself or obtained by the indoor machine from the cloud. Exemplarily, the user information characteristic parameters, the city where the user is located, the time characteristic parameters, the regional granularity statistical characteristic parameters and the user granularity statistical characteristic parameters can be obtained by the indoor machine from the cloud. The outdoor temperature, indoor temperature and indoor humidity can be obtained by the indoor machine itself. That is, a temperature sensor or a humidity sensor can be provided in the indoor machine, which can detect the outdoor temperature, indoor temperature and indoor humidity, or the indoor machine can also obtain the outdoor temperature through the Internet of Things (IOT) technology. If the temperature sensor or humidity sensor is not provided in the indoor machine, the indoor machine can also obtain the outdoor temperature, indoor temperature and indoor humidity from a device with temperature detection and humidity detection through IOT technology.

[0065] In different scenarios, the characteristic parameters obtained by the indoor machine may be different. Exemplarily, for an indoor machine that is activated or connected to the network for the first time, the characteristic parameters obtained on the first day of use may include environmental characteristic parameters and time characteristic parameters, and when used on the second day, the characteristic parameters obtained may include environmental characteristic parameters, time characteristic parameters, and regional granularity statistical characteristic parameters. For an indoor machine that is activated or connected to the network for the first time but the cloud of the corresponding brand of the indoor machine has user information stored, the characteristic parameters obtained may include environmental characteristic parameters, time characteristic parameters, regional granularity statistical characteristic parameters, and user information characteristic parameters. After using the indoor machine for a period of time, the characteristic parameters obtained may include environmental characteristic parameters, time characteristic parameters, regional granularity statistical characteristic parameters, user information characteristic parameters, and user granularity statistical characteristic parameters.

[0066] In the first embodiment, only one target prediction model may be deployed in the internal machine, and the target prediction model is trained based on user information feature parameters, environmental feature parameters, time feature parameters, regional granularity statistical feature parameters, and user granularity statistical feature parameters. After obtaining the feature parameters, if it is determined that the feature parameters include some of the above feature parameters, the feature parameters not included are set to 0 and input into the target prediction model together with the included feature parameters to obtain the predicted operating parameters output by the target prediction model. Exemplarily, if the feature parameters only include environmental feature parameters and time feature parameters, the three types of feature parameters, namely user information feature parameters, regional granularity statistical feature parameters, and user granularity statistical feature parameters, are set to 0.

[0067] In another embodiment, different target prediction models can be pre-trained according to different characteristic parameters, and then after acquiring the characteristic parameters, the internal machine can determine the corresponding pre-trained target prediction model according to its own characteristic parameters, wherein the target prediction models corresponding to different characteristic parameters may also be different.

[0068] Exemplarily, if the feature parameters only include environmental feature parameters and time feature parameters, the first prediction model is determined as the target prediction model corresponding to the feature parameters. If the feature parameters only include environmental feature parameters, time feature parameters, and regional granularity statistical feature parameters, the second prediction model is determined as the target prediction model corresponding to the feature parameters. If the feature parameters only include environmental feature parameters, time feature parameters, regional granularity statistical feature parameters, and user information feature parameters, the third prediction model is determined as the target prediction model corresponding to the feature parameters. If the feature parameters include environmental feature parameters, time feature parameters, regional granularity statistical feature parameters, user information feature parameters, and user granularity statistical feature parameters, the fourth prediction model is determined as the target prediction model corresponding to the feature parameters.

[0069] The above-mentioned algorithm for obtaining the predicted operating parameters corresponding to the indoor unit using the target prediction model can be called an end-side preference algorithm. Based on this algorithm, it can automatically output the predicted operating mode, set temperature, set wind speed, and wind guide control parameters of the indoor unit according to spatiotemporal data, environmental parameters, city setting preferences, and user individual setting preferences.

[0070] Exemplarily, the target indoor unit can automatically output the predicted operating mode, set temperature, set wind speed, wind guide control and other parameters of the target indoor unit based on the terminal-side preference algorithm combined with spatiotemporal data, environmental parameters, city setting preferences, user individual setting preferences, etc.

[0071] In other words, according to the target prediction model, not only the predicted operating mode of each indoor unit can be output, but also the control parameters of each indoor unit can be output according to the target prediction model. The control parameters may include at least one of temperature, wind speed and air guide plate angle.

[0072] As an example, the target indoor unit may receive the corresponding predicted operation mode from each other indoor unit, and on this basis, screen multiple predicted operation modes to obtain the target operation mode, that is, enter step S130.

[0073] In step S130 , multiple predicted operation modes are screened to obtain a target operation mode.

[0074] As an optional manner, after receiving the predicted operating parameters sent by each other internal machine, the target internal machine may filter multiple predicted operating modes in the multiple predicted operating parameters to obtain the target operating mode.

[0075] For example, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the target operation mode from multiple predicted operation modes by voting. For example, if the heating mode has the highest proportion among the multiple predicted operation modes by comparison, the heating mode can be used as the target operation mode.

[0076] In step S140, the target operation mode is synchronized to each other indoor unit, and each other indoor unit is instructed to operate according to the target operation mode.

[0077] In some implementations, after obtaining the target operation mode, the target indoor machine can synchronize the target operation mode obtained by screening to each other indoor machine participating in the centralized control, and instruct each other indoor machine to operate according to the target operation mode. At the same time, the target indoor machine can also operate based on the target operation mode.

[0078] As a specific implementation, when it is detected that the designated control (full-on control / full-off control) on the electronic device is triggered, the multi-split air conditioner can execute a centralized control strategy, that is, the target indoor unit receives the predicted operating parameters sent by each other indoor unit, and determines the predicted operating parameters of the target indoor unit according to the characteristic parameters of the target indoor unit itself. On this basis, the predicted operating mode among the obtained multiple predicted operating parameters is screened to obtain the target operating mode, and finally the target operating mode is synchronized to each other indoor unit, instructing each other indoor unit to operate according to the target operating mode to achieve centralized control; when it is detected that the designated control on the electronic device is not triggered, the multi-split air conditioner can execute a single-open control strategy, at which time the target indoor unit will not receive the predicted operating parameters from other indoor units, and other indoor units will not perform the operation of obtaining operating parameters.

[0079] Among them, the single-opening control strategy can use a priority strategy to realize the control of the air conditioner, such as the last-opening priority or the first-opening priority. For example, a multi-split air conditioner includes indoor unit 1, indoor unit 2 and indoor unit 3, and these three indoor units can be controlled separately. The embodiment of the present disclosure can send the heating mode of the later-opened indoor unit 3 as the target mode to the outdoor unit. Among them, the indoor unit 3 can obtain its operating mode through a custom algorithm, a cloud algorithm or a local algorithm, and instruct other indoor units to work in this operating mode.

[0080] It should be noted that, in the process of controlling the multi-split air conditioner using the single-open control strategy, the disclosed embodiment can determine whether the operation mode of the target indoor unit (open first / open later) conflicts with the operation modes of other indoor units. If there is a conflict, the indoor units with other mode conflicts can be turned off. The mode conflict can be as shown in Table 1.

[0081] Based on Table 1, it can be seen that the operating mode that conflicts with the cooling mode may include the heating mode; the operating mode that conflicts with the heating mode may include the cooling mode, the air supply mode or the dehumidification mode; the operating mode that conflicts with the air supply mode may include the heating mode.

[0082] Table 1

[0083] See also Figure 4 , indoor unit 1 is the last indoor unit to be turned on, and the embodiment of the disclosure can use it as the target indoor unit. The operation mode of indoor unit 1 is the cooling mode. Based on Table 1, it is known that the operation mode that conflicts with the cooling mode is the heating mode. Therefore, if the operation mode of other indoor units is the heating mode, they need to be switched to the off state. Figure 4 The operating mode of the indoor unit 2 shown is the heating mode, which conflicts with the operating mode of the target indoor unit (indoor unit 1), so it can be turned off; the air supply mode of the indoor unit 3 and the cooling mode of the indoor unit 5 do not conflict with the operating mode of the target indoor unit (indoor unit 1), so the two can be in working state.

[0084] It should be noted that in the process of executing the single-opening control strategy, if there is a mode conflict, no matter whether the other indoor units are in the online state or the offline state, the other indoor units with the mode conflict can enter the shutdown state, that is, the other indoor units whose operating modes conflict with the operating mode of the target indoor unit will perform the shutdown operation.

[0085] The embodiment of the present disclosure responds to a full-on control request sent by an electronic device, determines a target indoor unit, and the full-on control request is sent by triggering a designated control on a target application in the electronic device. On this basis, the predicted operation parameters sent by other indoor units are received, and the predicted operation parameters of the target indoor unit are determined according to the characteristic parameters of the target indoor unit itself, wherein the predicted operation parameters of other indoor units are obtained by each other indoor unit according to its own characteristic parameters, and the predicted operation parameters include a predicted operation mode, and then multiple predicted operation modes are screened to obtain a target operation mode, and finally the target operation mode is synchronized to each other indoor unit, and each other indoor unit is instructed to operate according to the target operation mode. When it is detected that a user triggers a designated control on an electronic device, the present disclosure can control each indoor unit to obtain its corresponding predicted operation parameters using its own characteristic parameters, and send the predicted operation mode in the predicted operation parameters to the target indoor unit, so that multiple predicted operation modes are screened through the target indoor unit to obtain the target operation mode, and finally the target indoor unit can synchronize its acquired target operation mode to other indoor units, and instruct each other indoor unit to operate according to the target operation mode, so that mode conflicts between indoor units participating in centralized control can be simply and effectively avoided.

[0086] Figure 5 is a flow chart showing another method for controlling a multi-split air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the control method of the multi-split air conditioner may include the following steps.

[0087] In step S210, in response to the full-on control request sent by the electronic device, a target indoor unit is determined.

[0088] In step S220, the predicted operating parameters sent by other indoor units are received, and the predicted operating parameters of the target indoor unit are determined according to the characteristic parameters of the target indoor unit itself.

[0089] The specific implementation of step S210 to step S220 has been described in detail in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0090] In step S230, when there are different predicted operation modes among the multiple predicted operation modes, and the proportions of the different predicted operation modes are the same, the central control screen and / or electronic device corresponding to the target indoor unit is controlled to display the different predicted operation modes.

[0091] As an optional method, after obtaining the corresponding predicted operating parameters through the built-in target prediction model and receiving the predicted operating parameters of other indoor units from other indoor units, the target indoor unit can filter multiple predicted operating modes among these operating parameters to obtain the target operating mode.

[0092] Specifically, the target internal machine can determine whether the predicted operation modes corresponding to each internal machine are the same, that is, compare the predicted operation mode of the target internal machine with the predicted operation modes of each other internal machine. If multiple predicted operation modes are the same, the same predicted operation mode can be used as the target operation mode. In other words, when it is determined that multiple predicted operation modes are the same, the target internal machine can use the predicted operation mode as the target operation mode.

[0093] As an example, a multi-split air conditioner includes indoor unit 1, indoor unit 2, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4, and indoor unit 1 is the target indoor unit. The indoor unit 1 inputs its own characteristic parameters into the target prediction model, and the first predicted operation mode output is the heating mode; the second predicted operation mode received by indoor unit 1 from indoor unit 2 is the heating mode; the third predicted operation mode received by indoor unit 1 from indoor unit 3 is the heating mode; the fourth predicted operation mode received by indoor unit 1 from indoor unit 4 is the heating mode. On this basis, indoor unit 1 can compare its own predicted operation mode with the predicted operation modes of indoor unit 2, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4 respectively, and determine that the predicted operation modes of indoor unit 1, indoor unit 2, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4 are all heating modes, so the heating mode can be used as the target operation mode.

[0094] In some embodiments, when it is determined that there are different predicted operating modes among multiple predicted operating modes, the embodiment of the present disclosure can obtain the target operating mode by voting. Specifically, the proportion of each different predicted operating mode is obtained, and the predicted operating mode with the highest proportion is used as the target operating mode.

[0095] As an example, a multi-split air conditioner includes indoor unit 1, indoor unit 2, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4, and indoor unit 1 is the target indoor unit. The indoor unit 1 inputs its own characteristic parameters into the target prediction model, and the first predicted operation mode output is the heating mode; the second predicted operation mode received by the indoor unit 1 from indoor unit 2 is the cooling mode; the third predicted operation mode received by the indoor unit 1 from indoor unit 3 is the heating mode; the fourth predicted operation mode received by the indoor unit 1 from indoor unit 4 is the heating mode. On this basis, the indoor unit 1 can compare its own predicted operation mode with the predicted operation modes of the indoor unit 2, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4, respectively, and determine that there are different predicted operation modes among the multiple predicted operation modes of the indoor unit 1, indoor unit 2, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4, that is, the predicted operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is different from the predicted operation modes of the indoor unit 1, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4. Furthermore, it is determined through calculation that the proportion of the cooling mode corresponding to indoor unit 2 is 25%, while the proportion of the heating mode corresponding to indoor unit 1, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4 is 75%. It can be seen that the proportion of the heating mode is the highest at this time, that is, the heating mode with the highest proportion can be used as the target operation mode.

[0096] Optionally, when it is determined that there are different predicted operation modes among the multiple predicted operation modes, and the proportions of the different predicted operation modes are the same, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the central control screen and / or electronic device corresponding to the target indoor unit to display the different predicted operation modes. On this basis, a mode selection instruction input by the user for the display is received, and the predicted operation mode corresponding to the instruction is used as the target operation mode.

[0097] Specifically, when it is determined that there are different predicted operation modes among multiple predicted operation modes, and the proportions of the different predicted operation modes are the same, the target indoor unit can send the different predicted operation modes to the electronic device, and instruct the electronic device to display the different predicted operation modes in the target application. The different predicted operation modes include heating mode and cooling mode. Afterwards, the target indoor unit can receive the target operation mode sent by the electronic device, and the target operation mode can be a mode selected by the user from the heating mode or the cooling mode according to demand.

[0098] As an example, a multi-split air conditioner includes indoor unit 1, indoor unit 2, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4, and indoor unit 1 is the target indoor unit. The indoor unit 1 inputs its own characteristic parameters into the target prediction model, and the first predicted operation mode output is the heating mode; the second predicted operation mode received by the indoor unit 1 from the indoor unit 2 is the cooling mode; the third predicted operation mode received by the indoor unit 1 from the indoor unit 3 is the cooling mode; the fourth predicted operation mode received by the indoor unit 1 from the indoor unit 4 is the heating mode. On this basis, the indoor unit 1 can compare its own predicted operation mode with the predicted operation modes of the indoor units 2, 3 and 4, respectively, and determine that there are different predicted operation modes among the multiple predicted operation modes of the indoor units 1, 2, 3 and 4, that is, the predicted operation modes of the indoor units 1 and 4 are different from the predicted operation modes of the indoor units 2 and 3. In addition, it is determined by calculation that the proportion of the heating mode corresponding to the indoor units 1 and 4 is 50%, and the proportion of the cooling mode corresponding to the indoor units 2 and 3 is also 50%. It can be seen that the proportion of the heating mode and the cooling mode is the same at this time. At this time, the target internal machine can send a mode selection instruction to the electronic device, and the display interface corresponding to the mode selection instruction is as follows: Figure 6 The indication information can prompt the user to select the desired operation mode. After the user inputs the selection instruction, the electronic device can send the operation mode corresponding to the selection instruction to the target indoor unit. Figure 6 As shown, the user selects heating operation on the electronic device, and the target indoor unit can use the received heating mode as the target operation mode.

[0099] Optionally, when it is determined that there are different predicted operation modes among the multiple predicted operation modes, and the proportions of the different predicted operation modes are the same, the target indoor machine can also directly control its corresponding central control screen to display the different predicted operation modes. After that, the target indoor machine can detect the mode selection instruction input by the user for the display of the central control screen, and select the predicted operation mode corresponding to the selection instruction as the target cloud mode.

[0100] Following the above example, when it is determined that there are different predicted operation modes among the multiple predicted operation modes of indoor unit 1, indoor unit 2, indoor unit 3 and indoor unit 4, and it is determined that the proportion of the heating mode corresponding to indoor unit 1 and indoor unit 4 is the same as the proportion of the cooling mode corresponding to indoor unit 2 and indoor unit 3, the target indoor unit can display different predicted operation modes through the central control screen, and the display interface of the central control screen can be as follows: Figure 7 The display of different predicted operation modes on the central control screen can prompt the user to select the desired operation mode. After the user inputs the selection instruction, the target indoor unit can use the operation mode corresponding to the selection instruction as the target operation mode. Figure 7 As shown, if the user selects heating operation on the central control screen, the heating mode can be used as the target operation mode, that is, the target indoor unit can use the heating mode as the target operation mode.

[0101] In summary, in the process of acquiring the target operating mode, the disclosed embodiment can display different predicted operating modes on the central control screen and / or electronic device to instruct the user to select an operating mode that meets their needs, so that the user can quickly and flexibly select the operating mode. For example, if it is convenient for the user to operate on the electronic device, different predicted operating modes can be displayed on the electronic device. For another example, if it is detected that the user is close to the central control screen of the target indoor unit and does not carry an electronic device, different predicted operating modes can be displayed on the central control screen for the user to choose.

[0102] In step S240 , a mode selection instruction input by a user in response to a display is received, and the predicted operation mode corresponding to the selection instruction is used as the target operation mode.

[0103] Through the above introduction, it is known that when it is determined that there are different predicted operating modes among multiple predicted operating modes, and the proportions of different predicted operating modes are the same, the target indoor unit can control the central control screen and / or electronic device corresponding to the target indoor unit to display different predicted operating modes. In other words, by instructing the electronic device and / or the central control screen to output different predicted operating modes, the user can be prompted to select the operating mode he or she prefers. When it is detected that the user inputs a mode selection instruction, the target indoor unit can use the operating mode corresponding to the mode selection instruction as the target operating mode.

[0104] In other words, the target internal machine can receive a mode selection instruction input by the user for the display of the electronic device or the display of the central control screen, and then the predicted operating mode corresponding to the mode selection instruction can be used as the target operating mode.

[0105] In step S250, the target operation mode is synchronized to each other indoor unit, and each other indoor unit is instructed to operate according to the target operation mode.

[0106] As an optional method, after obtaining the target operating mode through screening, the target indoor unit can synchronize the target operating mode to each other indoor unit, and instruct each other indoor unit to operate according to the first control parameter under the target operating mode, wherein the first control parameter can be obtained by each other indoor unit based on its own characteristic parameters, and the first control parameter may include at least one of temperature, wind speed and air guide plate angle.

[0107] Exemplarily, the target indoor unit (indoor unit 1) can output predicted operating parameters through its built-in target prediction model, and the predicted operating parameters include predicted operating mode 1 (cooling mode) and first control parameter 1; indoor unit 2 can output predicted operating parameters through its built-in target prediction model, and the predicted operating parameters include predicted operating mode 2 (heating mode) and first control parameter 2; indoor unit 3 can output predicted operating parameters through its built-in target prediction model, and the predicted operating parameters include predicted operating mode 3 (cooling mode) and first control parameter 3. The target indoor unit screens predicted operating mode 1, predicted operating mode 2, and predicted operating mode 3, and obtains that the target operating mode is cooling mode. On this basis, the target indoor unit can operate according to the first control parameter 1 in cooling mode, and at the same time instruct indoor unit 2 to operate according to the first control parameter 2 in cooling mode, and instruct indoor unit 3 to operate according to the first control parameter 3 in cooling mode.

[0108] As another optional method, the target indoor unit can also synchronize the target operating mode to each other indoor unit, and instruct each other indoor unit to obtain a second control parameter corresponding to the target operating mode, and instruct each other indoor unit to operate according to the second control parameter under the target operating mode, wherein the second control parameter can be the control parameter adopted by each other indoor unit when it last operated the target operating mode, and similar to the first control parameter, the second control parameter can also include at least one of temperature, wind speed and air guide plate angle.

[0109] As an example, the target operation mode determined by the voting method of the target indoor unit is the cooling mode. After synchronizing the cooling mode to other indoor units participating in the centralized control, each other indoor unit can obtain the control parameters corresponding to the cooling mode based on its own historical operation, wherein the historical operation parameters can be the previous operation parameters, including the operation mode and the control parameters. For example, the previous operation parameters of indoor unit 2 include the cooling mode, the temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, the wind speed of 40%, and the wind deflector angle of 5. When receiving the cooling mode sent by the target indoor unit, indoor unit 2 can use the temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, the wind speed of 40%, and the wind deflector angle of 5 as the second control parameters. On this basis, indoor unit 2 can operate based on the cooling mode and the second control parameters.

[0110] In order to better understand the interaction process between the electronic device, the target internal machine and other internal machines, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides the following Figure 8 The example diagram shown is based on Figure 8It is known that after the designated control on the electronic device is triggered, the electronic device can send a full-open request to each indoor unit, and then the target indoor unit can be determined from multiple indoor units, and the target indoor unit and other indoor units can obtain predicted operating parameters according to their own characteristic parameters. Then, the target indoor unit can receive their respective predicted operating parameters from other indoor units, and filter the predicted operating modes among the multiple predicted operating parameters to obtain the target operating mode. Finally, the target indoor unit can synchronize the target operating mode to each other indoor unit.

[0111] By instructing all other indoor units to operate according to the target operation mode and its corresponding control parameters, not only can mode conflicts be avoided, but the needs of users in each room can also be met to a great extent.

[0112] As a specific implementation, see Fig. 9 , after detecting that the designated control on the electronic device is triggered, the target indoor unit can receive predicted operating parameters from other indoor units. The predicted operating parameters can be obtained based on the terminal preference algorithm, and then the voting method is used to screen multiple predicted operating modes to obtain the target operating mode. The target operating mode can be a unified operating mode, and then the target operating mode can be returned to each other indoor unit (central control screen) respectively. After that, other indoor units can operate based on the synchronized target operating mode and the operating parameters (personalized parameters) obtained by themselves. Indoor unit 5 belongs to a different UID than indoor units 1 to 4, so there is no need to send the target operating mode to it. In addition, since indoor unit 6 is set to non-centralized control, the target indoor unit does not need to synchronize the filtered target operating mode to indoor unit 6.

[0113] It should be noted that the target application of the electronic device can be configured with a cooling mode selection control, a heating mode selection control and an intelligent preference control. When the intelligent preference control is selected, if it is detected that the designated control related to the full-open control request is triggered, each indoor unit can obtain the corresponding predicted operating parameters based on the local preference algorithm and its own characteristic parameters, and send the predicted operating parameters (predicted operating mode) to the determined target indoor unit. At this time, the target indoor unit can determine the target operating mode from multiple predicted operating modes by voting, and then transmit the determined target operating mode back to each central control screen (other indoor units) for operation.

[0114] Among them, the voting method can be to calculate the proportion of each predicted operating mode, and the predicted operating mode with the highest proportion can be used as the final operating mode (target operating mode); when there are two operating modes (heating mode and cooling mode) with the same proportion, a pop-up window can be displayed on the electronic device side or the central control screen side for the user to select the operating mode.

[0115] In other words, if it is determined that the predicted operation modes of multiple internal machines are the same, then the predicted operation mode is used. Conversely, if it is determined that the predicted operation modes of multiple internal machines are different, the target internal machine can use a voting method to determine the target operation mode. Specifically, the proportion of each predicted operation mode is calculated, and the predicted operation mode with the highest proportion is used as the target operation mode.

[0116] In addition, when it is determined that there are two operating modes (heating mode and cooling mode) with the same proportion, the present embodiment can output pop-up information through the electronic device / central control screen to instruct the user to select the operating mode.

[0117] By learning the operating mode according to the habits of the users in each room, the set operating mode can be made more in line with the user's needs, thereby improving the user's comfort. In addition, the disclosed embodiment can provide personalized set temperature, wind speed, and wind guide control for the users in each room of the multi-split system according to the user's habits, thereby improving the flexibility of the multi-split air conditioner control.

[0118] After receiving the predicted operating parameters sent by each other indoor unit, the target indoor unit can filter the predicted operating modes among the multiple predicted operating parameters to obtain the target operating mode, and then synchronize the target operating mode to other indoor units. This can meet the needs of users in each room to the greatest extent, and each other indoor unit can operate in combination with the target operating mode sent by the target indoor unit and its own control parameters (obtained by other indoor units), which can meet the personalized and differentiated needs of users. By utilizing the control parameters of the indoor unit, differentiated control of the air conditioner can be achieved.

[0126] In some implementations, the predicted operating parameters of the other internal machines are obtained by inputting the characteristic parameters of each of the other internal machines into a target prediction model when the characteristic parameters of the other internal machines are obtained.
