Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0025] The acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in this disclosed technical solution all comply with the relevant laws and regulations.

[0026] The air conditioning equipment in the embodiments of this disclosure is described below, including at least two indoor units and at least one control panel. The control panel is connected to at least two indoor units to realize the control function of the indoor units. The connection method between the control panel and the indoor units is not limited in much; for example, it may include wired connection, wireless connection, etc. The wired connection method is not limited in much; for example, it may be a direct wired connection or an indirect wired connection.

[0027] Optionally, control panels with the same spatial attribute can be directly wired to indoor units to achieve paired connection between control panels with the same spatial attribute and indoor units, while control panels with different spatial attributes can be indirectly wired to indoor units.

[0028] Optionally, the first control panel is indirectly connected to the first indoor unit via a wired connection, and the first control panel is directly connected to the second indoor unit via a wired connection.

[0029] Optionally, at least two indoor units are directly wired connected, while the first control panel and the first indoor unit are indirectly wired connected via a connection cable between the first and second indoor units; or...

[0030] The outdoor unit of the air conditioning equipment is directly wired to at least two indoor units, while the first control panel and the first indoor unit are indirectly wired together through the connection lines between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit and the outdoor unit, respectively.

[0031] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning equipment includes an outdoor unit, indoor units 1 to 3, and control panels 1 to 3. Indoor unit 1 and control panel 1 each have a spatial attribute of space A; indoor unit 2 and control panel 2 each have a spatial attribute of space B; and indoor unit 3 and control panel 3 each have a spatial attribute of space C. It should be noted that the spatial attribute of an object may differ from its actual physical space and can be customized by the user. For example, if the actual physical space of an object is a bedroom, its spatial attribute could be either a bedroom or a living room.

[0032] Control panel 1 is wired to indoor units 1 to 3, control panel 2 is wired to indoor units 1 to 3, control panel 3 is wired to indoor units 1 to 3, and outdoor unit is wired to indoor units 1 to 3.

[0033] Taking control panel 1 as an example, control panel 1 is directly wired to indoor unit 1, that is, control panel 1 and indoor unit 1 are paired and connected. Control panel 1 and indoor unit 2 are indirectly wired connected through the connecting line between indoor unit 1 and indoor unit 2. Control panel 1 and indoor unit 3 are indirectly wired connected through the connecting line between indoor unit 1 and indoor unit 3.

[0034] Taking control panel 2 as an example, control panel 2 is directly wired to indoor unit 2, that is, control panel 2 and indoor unit 2 are paired and connected. Control panel 2 and indoor unit 1 are indirectly wired connected through the connection line between indoor unit 1 and indoor unit 2. Control panel 2 and indoor unit 3 are indirectly wired connected through the connection line between indoor unit 2 and indoor unit 3.

[0035] Taking control panel 3 as an example, control panel 3 is directly wired to indoor unit 3, that is, control panel 3 and indoor unit 3 are paired and connected. Control panel 3 and indoor unit 1 are indirectly wired connected through the connection line between indoor unit 1 and indoor unit 3. Control panel 3 and indoor unit 2 are indirectly wired connected through the connection line between indoor unit 2 and indoor unit 3.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioning device according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the air conditioning equipment in this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0037] S201, Obtain a first control command to control the first indoor unit, wherein the first control command is triggered based on the operation of the first control panel, and the controlled device of the first control panel is the first indoor unit.

[0038] It should be noted that the execution subject of the air conditioning equipment control method in this embodiment includes electronic devices such as control panels and application programs. The air conditioning equipment control method in this embodiment can be executed by the air conditioning equipment control device in this embodiment, and the air conditioning equipment control device in this embodiment can be configured in any electronic device to execute the air conditioning equipment control method in this embodiment.

[0039] Optionally, the first control panel is indirectly connected to the first indoor unit via a wired connection, and the first control panel is directly connected to the second indoor unit via a wired connection. For details regarding the indirect wired connection between the first control panel and the first indoor unit, please refer to the above embodiments; further details will not be repeated here.

[0040] Optionally, before obtaining the first control command to control the first indoor unit, the method further includes switching the controlled device of the first control panel from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit. For details regarding the indoor unit switching of the control panel, please refer to the following embodiments, which will not be repeated here. For example, continuing with... Figure 1 For example, the controlled device on the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2.

[0041] Optionally, the first control panel can be indirectly connected to the second indoor unit via a wired connection, or the first control panel can be directly connected to the first indoor unit via a wired connection.

[0042] Optionally, the first control panel is indirectly connected to both the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit via wires.

[0043] It should be noted that the first control command is used to switch the operating mode of the first indoor unit to the first target operating mode. That is, the first target operating mode is the operating mode to which the first indoor unit is to be switched. There are no strict limitations on the operating mode; it can include, for example, cooling, heating, dehumidification, ventilation, and ion purification. Optionally, the first control command is triggered by pressing, rotating, or touching the first control panel.

[0044] Optionally, acquiring a first control command to control the first indoor unit includes displaying a list of operating modes on a first control panel, and generating the first control command in response to a selection operation for a first target operating mode in the list. It is understood that the user can perform a selection operation for a first target operating mode on the first control panel, and the first control command can be triggered based on this selection operation.

[0045] S202, if there is a conflict between the first target operating mode corresponding to the first control command and the operating mode of the second indoor unit, a first message is displayed on the first control screen, wherein the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit are different indoor units of the air conditioning equipment, and the first message is used to confirm whether to execute the first control command.

[0046] Optionally, cooling, dehumidification, air supply, and ion purification all conflict with heating, while cooling, dehumidification, air supply, and ion purification do not conflict with each other.

[0047] Optionally, after displaying the first message on the first control screen, the method further includes obtaining a first confirm instruction for the first control command, executing the first control command in response to the first confirm instruction, obtaining a first reject instruction for the first control command, and refusing to execute the first control command in response to the first reject instruction. Thus, the first control command can be executed in response to the first confirm instruction, and the first control command can be refused to be executed in response to the first reject instruction.

[0048] It should be noted that both the first confirm instruction and the first reject instruction are triggered based on the operation of the first control screen. For details on the first confirm instruction and the first reject instruction, please refer to the following embodiments.

[0049] Optionally, after obtaining the first determining instruction for the first control command, the method further includes shutting down the second indoor unit. Therefore, after obtaining the first determining instruction, the indoor unit whose operating mode conflicts with the first target operating mode can be shut down. This avoids situations where the air conditioning equipment malfunctions or is even damaged due to a conflict between the first target operating mode and the operating mode of the second indoor unit, thus ensuring the reliability of the air conditioning equipment.

[0050] The following describes several scenarios for the display of the second message.

[0051] In the first scenario, after shutting down the second indoor unit, the method further includes obtaining a switching command triggered by the first control panel, switching the controlled device on the first control panel from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit, and displaying a second message on the first control panel. This second message indicates the reason for shutting down the second indoor unit. Therefore, when the first control command causes the second indoor unit to shut down, if the controlled device on the first control panel switches from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit, a second message will be displayed on the first control panel to indicate the reason for shutting down the second indoor unit, thus promptly informing the user that the second indoor unit has stopped operating and the reason for its cessation of operation.

[0052] In the second scenario, after the second indoor unit is shut down, a second control panel is also included to identify the controlled device as the second indoor unit, and a second message is displayed on the second control panel. Therefore, when the first control command causes the second indoor unit to be shut down, a second message will be displayed on the second control panel to indicate the reason for shutting down the second indoor unit, thus promptly informing the user that the second indoor unit has stopped operating and the reason for its cessation.

[0053] In the third scenario, after shutting down the second indoor unit, the method further includes obtaining a switching command triggered by the third control panel, switching the controlled device on the third control panel from the third indoor unit to the second indoor unit, and displaying a second message on the third control panel. Therefore, when the first control command causes the second indoor unit to shut down, if the controlled device on the third control panel switches from the third indoor unit to the second indoor unit, a second message will be displayed on the third control panel to indicate the reason for shutting down the second indoor unit, thus promptly informing the user that the second indoor unit has stopped operating and the reason for its shutdown.

[0054] Optionally, the third indoor unit is the same as the first indoor unit.

[0055] Optionally, after the second message is displayed on any control screen, if a set operation, such as a touch operation of the "I understand" component, is detected, the second message will stop being displayed on any control screen and will not be displayed on other control screens subsequently.

[0056] As another possible implementation, the first control command is executed when there is no conflict between the first target operating mode and the operating mode of the second indoor unit.

[0057] The following continues with Figure 1 Let's take an example to describe the display content of the first and second messages.

[0058] For example, the controlled device of control panel 1 can be switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, the controlled device of control panel 2 becomes indoor unit 1, and the controlled device of control panel 3 becomes indoor unit 3. It should be noted that in this embodiment, control panel 1 is the first control panel, and indoor unit 2 is the first indoor unit.

[0059] The system can acquire a first control command for the indoor unit 2, which is triggered by an operation on the control panel 1. Based on the first control command, the system determines that the operating mode to be switched to for the indoor unit 2 is heating, i.e., the first target operating mode is heating.

[0060] Obtain the operating modes of indoor units 1 and 3.

[0061] If the operating mode of indoor unit 1 is cooling, it can be determined that there is a conflict between heating and the operating mode of indoor unit 1.

[0062] If the operating mode of indoor unit 3 is dehumidification, it can be determined that there is a conflict between heating and the operating mode of indoor unit 3.

[0063] If indoor units 1 and 3 are operating in heating mode, it can be determined that there is no conflict between heating and the operating modes of indoor units 1 and 3.

[0064] If there is a conflict between the heating mode and the operating mode of the indoor unit 1, the first message will be displayed on the control panel 1, such as "The mode set by this air conditioner conflicts with the mode set by other rooms. Please confirm whether to set this air conditioner to heating mode".

[0065] Based on the touch operation of the "OK" component on the control panel 1, a first OK instruction is generated for the first control instruction. In response to the first OK instruction, the first control instruction is executed, that is, the operating mode of the indoor unit 2 is switched to heating.

[0066] Based on the touch operation of the "Cancel" component on the control panel 1, a first rejection instruction is generated for the first control instruction. In response to the first rejection instruction, the first control instruction is refused to be executed, that is, the indoor unit 2 is refused to switch its operating mode to heating.

[0067] After receiving the first confirmation instruction, indoor unit 1 can be turned off.

[0068] If there is no conflict between the heating mode and the operating modes of indoor units 1 and 3, execute the first control command mentioned above, that is, switch the operating mode of indoor unit 2 to heating mode.

[0069] Taking indoor unit 1 as the second indoor unit as an example, the following describes several scenarios regarding the display of the second message.

[0070] In the first scenario, a second message is displayed on control panel 2, such as "The mode settings of other rooms conflict with this air conditioner, and its operation is interrupted." It should be noted that in this embodiment, control panel 2 is the second control panel.

[0071] In the second scenario, a switching command triggered by control panel 1 is obtained, switching the controlled device of control panel 1 from indoor unit 2 to indoor unit 1, and displaying "The mode set in other rooms conflicts with this air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted" on control panel 1.

[0072] In the third scenario, a switching command triggered by control panel 3 is received, switching the controlled device of control panel 3 from indoor unit 3 to indoor unit 1. Control panel 3 then displays "The mode settings of other rooms conflict with this air conditioner, and operation is interrupted." It should be noted that in this embodiment, control panel 3 is the third control panel.

[0073] The air conditioning control method provided in this disclosure acquires a first control command to control a first indoor unit. The first control command is triggered by an operation of a first control screen, and the controlled device of the first control screen is the first indoor unit. If there is a conflict between the first target operating mode corresponding to the first control command and the operating mode of a second indoor unit, a first message is displayed on the first control screen. The first and second indoor units are different indoor units of the air conditioning system, and the first message is used to confirm whether to execute the first control command. Therefore, when there is a conflict between the first target operating mode corresponding to the first control command and the operating mode of the second indoor unit, displaying a first message on the first control screen allows the user to confirm whether to execute the first control command. This avoids situations where user misoperation leads to the air conditioning system malfunctioning or even being damaged, ensuring the reliability of the air conditioning system and optimizing the user experience.

[0074] For ease of understanding Figure 2 An exemplary embodiment is provided:

[0075] For example, continue with Figure 1 For example, the controlled device of control panel 1 is indoor unit 1, the controlled device of control panel 2 is indoor unit 2, and the controlled device of control panel 3 is indoor unit 3. It should be noted that in this embodiment, control panel 1 is the first control panel, and indoor unit 1 is the first indoor unit.

[0076] The system can acquire a first control command for the indoor unit 1, wherein the first control command for the indoor unit 1 is triggered based on the operation of the control panel 1. Based on the aforementioned first control command, the operating mode to be switched to by the indoor unit 1 is determined to be heating, that is, the first target operating mode is heating.

[0077] Obtain the operating modes of indoor units 2 and 3.

[0078] If the indoor unit 2 is operating in cooling mode, it can be determined that there is a conflict between heating and the operating mode of the indoor unit 2.

[0079] If the indoor unit 3 is in dehumidification mode, it can be determined that there is a conflict between heating and the indoor unit 3's operating mode.

[0080] If indoor units 2 and 3 are operating in heating mode, it can be determined that there is no conflict between heating and the operating modes of indoor units 2 and 3.

[0081] If there is a conflict between heating and the operation of indoor unit 2, the first message will be displayed on control panel 1, such as "The mode set by this air conditioner conflicts with the mode set by other rooms. Please confirm whether to set this air conditioner to heating mode".

[0082] Based on the touch operation of the "OK" component on the control panel 1, a first OK instruction is generated for the first control instruction. In response to the first OK instruction, the first control instruction is executed, that is, the operating mode of the indoor unit 1 is switched to heating.

[0083] Based on the touch operation of the "Cancel" component on the control panel 1, a first rejection instruction is generated for the first control instruction. In response to the first rejection instruction, the first control instruction is refused to be executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is refused to be switched to heating.

[0084] After receiving the first confirmation instruction, indoor unit 2 can be turned off.

[0085] If there is no conflict between the heating mode and the operating modes of indoor units 2 and 3, execute the first control command mentioned above, that is, switch the operating mode of indoor unit 1 to heating mode.

[0086] Taking indoor unit 2 as the second indoor unit as an example, the following describes several scenarios regarding the display of the second message.

[0087] In the first scenario, a second message is displayed on control panel 2, such as "The mode settings of other rooms conflict with this air conditioner, and its operation is interrupted." It should be noted that in this embodiment, control panel 2 is the second control panel.

[0088] In the second scenario, a switching command triggered by control panel 1 is obtained, switching the controlled device of control panel 1 from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2. The control panel 1 displays "The mode set in other rooms conflicts with this air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted".

[0089] In the third scenario, a switching command triggered by control panel 3 is received, switching the controlled device of control panel 3 from indoor unit 3 to indoor unit 2. Control panel 3 then displays "The mode settings of other rooms conflict with this air conditioner, and operation is interrupted." It should be noted that in this embodiment, control panel 3 is the third control panel.

[0090] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioning device according to another exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the control method of the air conditioning equipment in this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0091] S301, Obtain a second control command triggered by the first control panel, wherein the second control command is used to synchronously control multiple indoor units to switch to the second target operating mode.

[0092] S302, when at least one of the multiple indoor units has a current operating mode that is inconsistent with the second target operating mode, a third message is displayed on the first control panel, wherein the third message is used to confirm whether to execute the second control command.

[0093] It should be noted that the second control command is a centralized control command, which is used to synchronously control multiple indoor units to switch to the second target operating mode. That is, the second target operating mode is the operating mode that multiple indoor units are waiting to switch to.

[0094] It is understandable that the two operating modes are inconsistent, including both conflicting and non-conflicting scenarios. For example, continuing with... Figure 1 For example, if the second target operating mode is cooling, and the current operating mode of indoor unit 1 is heating, heating and cooling conflict, it can be determined that the current operating mode of indoor unit 1 is inconsistent with cooling. The current operating mode of indoor unit 2 is dehumidification. Although dehumidification and cooling do not conflict, dehumidification and cooling are two different operating modes, it can be determined that the current operating mode of indoor unit 2 is inconsistent with cooling.

[0095] Optionally, the indoor unit that is inconsistent with the second target operating mode among the multiple indoor units is the fourth indoor unit, that is, the current operating mode of the fourth indoor unit is inconsistent with the second target operating mode.

[0096] Optionally, the fourth indoor unit is the same as the second indoor unit.

[0097] Optionally, after displaying the third message on the first control screen, the method further includes obtaining a second confirm instruction for the second control instruction, executing the second control instruction in response to the second confirm instruction, obtaining a second reject instruction for the second control instruction, and refusing to execute the second control instruction in response to the second reject instruction. Thus, the second control instruction can be executed in response to the second confirm instruction, and the second control instruction can be refused to be executed in response to the second reject instruction.

[0098] It should be noted that both the second confirm instruction and the second reject instruction are triggered based on the operation of the first control screen. For details on the second confirm instruction and the second reject instruction, please refer to the following embodiments.

[0099] The following describes several scenarios for the display of the fourth message.

[0100] In the first scenario, after executing the second control command, a fourth control panel is also included to identify the controlled device as the fourth indoor unit. A fourth message is displayed on the fourth control panel, indicating the reason for switching the operating mode of the fourth indoor unit. Therefore, when the second control command causes the fourth indoor unit to switch its operating mode, a fourth message will be displayed on the fourth control panel to indicate the reason for the switch, thus promptly informing the user of the reason for the switch.

[0101] In the second scenario, after executing the second control command, the process also includes obtaining a switching command triggered by the first control panel, switching the controlled device on the first control panel from the first indoor unit to the fourth indoor unit, and displaying a fourth message on the first control panel. Therefore, when the second control command causes the fourth indoor unit to switch its operating mode, if the controlled device on the first control panel switches from the first indoor unit to the fourth indoor unit, a fourth message will be displayed on the first control panel to indicate the reason for the fourth indoor unit's operating mode switch, thus promptly informing the user of the reason for the fourth indoor unit's operating mode switch.

[0102] In the third scenario, after executing the second control command, the system also acquires a switching command triggered by the fifth control panel, switching the controlled device on the fifth control panel from the fifth indoor unit to the fourth indoor unit, and displaying a fourth message on the fifth control panel. Therefore, when the second control command causes the fourth indoor unit to switch its operating mode, if the controlled device on the fifth control panel switches from the fifth indoor unit to the fourth indoor unit, a fourth message will be displayed on the fifth control panel to indicate the reason for the fourth indoor unit's operating mode switch, thus promptly informing the user of the reason for the fourth indoor unit's operating mode switch.

[0103] Optionally, after the fourth message is displayed on any control screen, if a set operation, such as a touch operation of the "I understand" component, is detected, the fourth message will stop being displayed on any control screen and will not be displayed on other control screens subsequently.

[0104] The following continues with Figure 1 Let's take an example to describe the display content of the third and fourth messages.

[0105] For example, the controlled device of control panel 1 can be switched from indoor unit 2 to indoor unit 1, the controlled device of control panel 2 becomes indoor unit 2, and the controlled device of control panel 3 becomes indoor unit 3. It should be noted that in this embodiment, control panel 1 is the first control panel, and indoor unit 1 is the first indoor unit.

[0106] At this time, control panel 1 is directly wired to indoor unit 1, and control panel 1 activates the centralized control function of indoor units 1 to 3. A second control command triggered by control panel 1 is obtained, wherein the second control command is used to synchronously control indoor units 1 to 3 to switch to cooling, i.e., the second target operating mode is cooling.

[0107] If indoor units 1 and 3 are currently operating in cooling mode, and indoor unit 2 is operating in heating mode, a third message will be displayed on control panel 1, such as "Please confirm whether to turn on cooling mode uniformly".

[0108] Based on the touch operation of the "Confirm" component on the control panel 1, a second confirm instruction is generated for the aforementioned second control instruction. In response to the aforementioned second confirm instruction, the aforementioned second control instruction is executed, that is, the operating mode of the indoor unit 2 is switched to cooling.

[0109] Based on the touch operation of the "Cancel" component on the control panel 1, a second rejection instruction is generated for the aforementioned second control instruction. In response to the aforementioned second rejection instruction, the execution of the aforementioned second control instruction is refused, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is refused to be switched to cooling.

[0110] Taking indoor unit 2 as the fourth indoor unit as an example, after executing the second control command mentioned above, the following describes several situations regarding the display of the fourth message.

[0111] In the first scenario, a fourth message is displayed on control panel 2, such as "Centralized control to activate cooling mode." It should be noted that in this embodiment, control panel 2 is the fourth control panel.

[0112] In the second scenario, a switching command triggered by control panel 1 is obtained, switching the controlled device of control panel 1 from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, and displaying "Centralized control to start cooling mode" on control panel 1.

[0113] In the third scenario, a switching command triggered by control panel 3 is received, switching the controlled device of control panel 3 from indoor unit 3 to indoor unit 2, and displaying "Centralized control to start cooling mode" on control panel 3. It should be noted that in this embodiment, control panel 3 is the fifth control panel.

[0114] The air conditioning equipment control method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure obtains a second control command triggered by a first control screen. The second control command is used to synchronously control multiple indoor units to switch to a second target operating mode. When at least one of the multiple indoor units has a current operating mode that is inconsistent with the second target operating mode, a third message is displayed on the first control screen. The third message is used to confirm whether to execute the second control command, so as to allow the user to confirm whether to execute the second control command. This can avoid the situation where the operating mode of some indoor units is switched due to user misoperation, thus ensuring the reliability of the air conditioning equipment and optimizing the user experience.

[0115] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioning device according to another exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the control method of the air conditioning equipment in this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0116] S401, Obtain the switching command triggered by the first control panel, and switch the controlled device of the first control panel from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit.

[0117] Optionally, the first control panel is directly wired to the second indoor unit, or indirectly wired to the first indoor unit. This allows the controlled device on the first control panel to be switched from a directly wired indoor unit to an indirectly wired indoor unit. For example, continuing with... Figure 1 For example, a switching command triggered by control panel 1 can be obtained to switch the controlled device of control panel 1 from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2.

[0118] Optionally, the first control panel can be indirectly wired to the second indoor unit, or directly wired to the first indoor unit. This allows the controlled device on the first control panel to be switched from an indirectly wired indoor unit to a directly wired indoor unit. For example, continuing with... Figure 1 For example, a switching command triggered by control panel 1 can be obtained to switch the controlled device of control panel 1 from indoor unit 2 to indoor unit 1.

[0119] Optionally, the first control panel is indirectly wired connected to both the first and second indoor units. This allows the controlled device on the first control panel to be switched from one indirectly wired indoor unit to another. For example, continuing with... Figure 1 For example, a switching command triggered by control panel 1 can be obtained to switch the controlled device of control panel 1 from indoor unit 2 to indoor unit 3.

[0120] Optionally, obtaining a switching command triggered by the first control panel includes displaying a list of indoor units on the first control panel and generating a switching command in response to a selection operation of the first indoor unit in the list. It is understood that the user can perform a selection operation for the first indoor unit on the first control panel, and the selection operation can trigger a switching command.

[0121] Optionally, the above selection operation includes selecting the first indoor unit from the list of indoor units, and confirming the selection of the first indoor unit.

[0122] For example, continue with Figure 1For example, a list of indoor units can be displayed on control panel 1, which includes indoor units 1 to 3. In response to the selection of indoor unit 2 on the indoor unit list, a switching command is generated. At this time, the selected indoor unit is indoor unit 2. If the controlled device of control panel 1 is indoor unit 1, the selected indoor unit is inconsistent with the indoor unit currently controlled by control panel 1, and the controlled device of control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2.

[0123] Optionally, the controlled device of the first control panel can be switched from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, including controlling the first control panel to disable or hide the control function of the second indoor unit and activate the control function of the first indoor unit.

[0124] For example, continue with Figure 1 For example, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, including disabling or hiding the control function of indoor unit 1 and activating the control function of indoor unit 2.

[0125] Understandably, the control panel has the function of controlling the indoor unit, and does not impose too many restrictions on the control function of the indoor unit, such as controlling the set temperature, fan speed, operating mode (such as cooling, heating, dehumidification), on or off, and air swing mode of the indoor unit.

[0126] Optionally, controlling the first control panel to activate the control functions of the first indoor unit includes activating a first type of control function of the first indoor unit when the first control panel and the first indoor unit are directly wired connected, and activating a second type of control function of the first indoor unit when the first control panel and the first indoor unit are indirectly wired connected. This allows for function switching of the first control panel by considering the connection method between the first control panel and the indoor unit, improving the flexibility of function switching.

[0127] Optionally, the first type of control function includes N control functions, and the second type of control function includes M control functions, where N and M are integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0128] N control functions include at least M control functions; or...

[0129] N is greater than M, and there is some overlap between N control functions and M control functions.

[0130] Therefore, when the first control panel is directly wired to the first indoor unit, the first control panel activates more control functions of the first indoor unit; when the first control panel is indirectly wired to the first indoor unit, the first control panel activates fewer control functions of the first indoor unit.

[0131] It should be noted that there are no excessive restrictions on either the first or second type of control functions. For example, compared to the first type of control functions, the second type of control functions lacks settings, centralized control, scene functions, and button control functions.

[0132] S402 displays the control page of the first indoor unit on the first control panel.

[0133] Optionally, before displaying the control page of the first indoor unit on the first control panel, the system may also load the control page of the first indoor unit.

[0134] Optionally, after switching the controlled device of the first control panel from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, the method further includes obtaining at least one of the following: environmental information of the target space attribute corresponding to the first indoor unit, operating information of the first indoor unit, and device information of the first indoor unit, as the target information to be displayed on the first control panel. Thus, after switching the controlled device of the first control panel, at least one of the environmental information, operating information, and device information associated with the first indoor unit can be displayed on the first control panel.

[0135] For example, continue with Figure 1 For example, obtain the switching command triggered by the control panel 1, switch the controlled device of the control panel 1 from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, and display the control page of indoor unit 2 on the control panel 1.

[0136] After switching the controlled device of the control panel 1 from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, at least one of the following information can be displayed on the control panel 1: environmental information of space B, operating information of indoor unit 2, and equipment information of indoor unit 2.

[0137] S403, acquire the first control command for controlling the first indoor unit, wherein the first control command is triggered based on the operation of the first control panel.

[0138] S404, if there is a conflict between the first target operating mode corresponding to the first control command and the operating mode of the second indoor unit, a first message is displayed on the first control screen, wherein the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit are different indoor units of the air conditioning equipment, and the first message is used to confirm whether to execute the first control command.

[0139] For details regarding steps S403-S404, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0140] The air conditioning equipment control method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure obtains a switching command triggered by a first control screen, switches the controlled device of the first control screen from a first indoor unit to a fourth indoor unit, and displays a fourth message on the first control screen. Therefore, by simply switching the indoor units on the control screen, multiple indoor units can be controlled through a single control screen, simplifying user operation and optimizing the user experience.

[0141] Based on any of the above embodiments, after switching the controlled device of the first control panel from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, the method further includes, when the first control panel and the first indoor unit are directly wired connected, controlling the first control panel to activate the centralized control function of at least two indoor units to ensure that the centralized control function can be used normally.

[0142] When the first control panel is indirectly connected to the first indoor unit via a wired connection, the control panel can disable or hide the centralized control function of at least two indoor units, meaning the centralized control function cannot be used.

[0143] For example, continue with Figure 1 For example, after switching the controlled device of control panel 1 from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, control panel 1 can disable or hide the centralized control function of indoor units 1 to 3.

[0144] After switching the controlled device from indoor unit 2 to indoor unit 1 on the control panel 1, the control panel 1 can be controlled to activate the centralized control function of indoor units 1 to 3.

[0145] Based on any of the above embodiments, before switching the controlled device of the first control panel from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, the method further includes determining that the first indoor unit is not in an upgrade state. Therefore, by determining that the first indoor unit is not in an upgrade state before switching the controlled device of the first control panel to the first indoor unit, the situation where the first indoor unit might not function properly if it were in an upgrade state, and the controlled device of the first control panel is still switched to the first indoor unit, is avoided, thus optimizing the user experience.

[0146] It should be noted that there are no major restrictions on the upgrade methods for indoor units, such as OTA (Over-The-Air) upgrades.
