[0036] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a control method of an air conditioning device according to an example embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The control method of the air conditioning device of the present disclosure embodiment includes the following steps.

[0037] S201, obtaining a first control instruction for controlling a first indoor unit, wherein the first control instruction is triggered based on an operation on a 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 control method of the air conditioning device of the present disclosure embodiment includes electronic devices such as control panels and application programs. The control method of the air conditioning device of the present disclosure embodiment can be executed by the control device of the air conditioning device of the present disclosure embodiment, and the control device of the air conditioning device of the present disclosure embodiment can be configured in any electronic device to execute the control method of the air conditioning device of the present disclosure embodiment.

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

[0040] Optionally, before obtaining the first control instruction for controlling the first indoor unit, the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit. For details of the indoor unit switching of the control panel, please refer to the following embodiments, which will not be repeated here. For example, taking Figure 1 the control panel 1 as an example, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from the indoor unit 1 to the indoor unit 2.

[0041] Optionally, the first control panel is indirectly wired connected with the second indoor unit, and the first control panel is directly wired connected with the first indoor unit.

[0042] Optionally, the first control panel is indirectly wired connected with the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit.

[0043] It should be noted that the first control instruction is used to switch the operation mode of the first indoor unit to the first target operation mode, that is, the first target operation mode is the operation mode to be switched for the first indoor unit, and the operation mode is not limited too much, such as including refrigeration, heating, dehumidification, air supply, ion purification, etc. Alternatively, the first control instruction is triggered based on the pressing operation, rotating operation, touch operation, etc. of the first control screen.

[0044] Alternatively, the first control instruction for controlling the first indoor unit is obtained, including displaying an operation mode list on the first control screen, and generating the first control instruction in response to a selection operation of the first target operation mode on the operation mode list. It can be understood that the user can perform a selection operation for the first target operation mode on the first control screen, and the first control instruction can be triggered based on the selection operation.

[0045] S202, in the case that the first target operation mode corresponding to the first control instruction conflicts with the operation mode of the second indoor unit, display a first message 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 instruction.

[0046] Alternatively, refrigeration, dehumidification, air supply, and ion purification all conflict with heating, and refrigeration, dehumidification, air supply, and ion purification do not conflict with each other.

[0047] Alternatively, after displaying the first message on the first control screen, it further includes obtaining a first determination instruction for the first control instruction, executing the first control instruction in response to the first determination instruction, obtaining a first rejection instruction for the first control instruction, and rejecting to execute the first control instruction in response to the first rejection instruction. Thus, the first control instruction can be executed in response to the first determination instruction, and the first control instruction can be rejected in response to the first rejection instruction.

[0048] It should be noted that the first determination instruction and the first rejection instruction are triggered based on the operation of the first control screen, and the related content of the first determination instruction and the first rejection instruction can be referred to in the following embodiments.

[0049] Alternatively, after obtaining the first determination instruction for the first control instruction, it further includes turning off the second indoor unit. Thus, after obtaining the first determination instruction, the indoor unit whose operation mode conflicts with the first target operation mode can be turned off, which can avoid the conflict between the first target operation mode and the operation mode of the second indoor unit, so as to prevent the air conditioning equipment from being unable to operate normally or even being damaged, and ensure the reliability of the air conditioning equipment.

[0050] The following describes several cases of displaying the second message.

[0051] In the first case, after the second indoor unit is turned off, the method further comprises obtaining a switching instruction triggered based on the first control panel, switching the controlled device of the first control panel from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit, and displaying a second message on the first control panel, wherein the second message is used to indicate the reason information for turning off the second indoor unit. Thus, when the first control instruction causes the second indoor unit to be turned off, if the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit, the second message is displayed on the first control panel to indicate the reason information for turning off the second indoor unit, so as to timely inform the user that the second indoor unit stops running and the reason for the second indoor unit to stop running.

[0052] In the second case, after the second indoor unit is turned off, the method further comprises determining a second control panel of the controlled device of the second indoor unit, and displaying the second message on the second control panel. Thus, when the first control instruction causes the second indoor unit to be turned off, the second message is displayed on the second control panel to indicate the reason information for turning off the second indoor unit, so as to timely inform the user that the second indoor unit stops running and the reason for the second indoor unit to stop running.

[0053] In the third case, after the second indoor unit is turned off, the method further comprises obtaining a switching instruction triggered based on the third control panel, switching the controlled device of the third control panel from the third indoor unit to the second indoor unit, and displaying the second message on the third control panel. Thus, when the first control instruction causes the second indoor unit to be turned off, if the controlled device of the third control panel is switched from the third indoor unit to the second indoor unit, the second message is displayed on the third control panel to indicate the reason information for turning off the second indoor unit, so as to timely inform the user that the second indoor unit stops running and the reason for the second indoor unit to stop running.

[0054] Optionally, the third indoor unit is consistent with the first indoor unit.

[0055] Optionally, after the second message is displayed on any control panel, if a setting operation such as a touch operation of an "I know" component is detected, the second message is stopped from being displayed on any control panel, and the second message will not be displayed on other control panels subsequently.

[0056] As another possible implementation, the first control instruction is executed in the case where the first target running mode does not conflict with the running mode of the second indoor unit.

[0057] The following continues to take Figure 1 as an example to describe the display content of the first message and the second message.

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

[0059] A first control instruction of the indoor unit 2 can be acquired, wherein the first control instruction of the indoor unit 2 is triggered based on the operation of the control panel 1. Based on the first control instruction, it is determined that the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 to be switched is heating, i.e., the first target operation mode is heating.

[0060] The operation modes of the indoor units 1 and 3 are acquired.

[0061] If the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is cooling, it is determined that the heating conflicts with the operation mode of the indoor unit 1.

[0062] If the operation mode of the indoor unit 3 is dehumidification, it is determined that the heating conflicts with the operation mode of the indoor unit 3.

[0063] If the operation modes of the indoor units 1 and 3 are heating, it is determined that the heating does not conflict with the operation modes of the indoor units 1 and 3.

[0064] In the case that the heating conflicts with the operation mode of the indoor unit 1, a first message, such as “The mode set by the air conditioner conflicts with the mode set by the remaining rooms. Please confirm whether to set the air conditioner as heating”, is displayed on the control panel 1.

[0065] Based on the touch operation of the “confirm” component on the control panel 1, a first confirmation instruction for the first control instruction is generated, and in response to the first confirmation instruction, the first control instruction is executed, i.e., the operation 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 for the first control instruction is generated, and in response to the first rejection instruction, the execution of the first control instruction is rejected, i.e., the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is not switched to heating.

[0067] After the first confirmation instruction is acquired, the indoor unit 1 can be closed.

[0068] In the case that the heating does not conflict with the operation modes of the indoor units 1 and 3, the first control instruction is executed, i.e., the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is switched to heating.

[0069] Taking the indoor unit 1 as a second indoor unit, the following describes several cases about the display of a second message.

[0070] In a first case, a second message, such as “The mode set by the remaining rooms conflicts with the air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted”, is displayed on the control panel 2. It should be noted that the control panel 2 is a second control panel in this embodiment.

[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 the operation mode of the indoor unit 2, 3 is heating, it can be determined that there is no conflict between the heating and the operation mode of the indoor unit 2, 3.

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

[0082] Based on the touch operation of the "Confirm" component on the control panel 1, a first confirmation instruction for the above-mentioned first control instruction is generated, and in response to the above-mentioned first confirmation instruction, the above-mentioned first control instruction is executed, that is, the operation 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 for the above-mentioned first control instruction is generated, and in response to the above-mentioned first rejection instruction, the above-mentioned first control instruction is rejected, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is not switched to heating.

[0084] After the above-mentioned first confirmation instruction is obtained, the indoor unit 2 can be turned off.

[0085] In the case where there is no conflict between the heating and the operation mode of the indoor unit 2, 3, the above-mentioned first control instruction is executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is switched to heating.

[0086] Taking the indoor unit 2 as a second indoor unit, the following describes several cases about the display of the second message.

[0087] In the first case, a second message such as "The mode set by the remaining rooms conflicts with the current air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted" is displayed on the control panel 2. It should be noted that the control panel 2 is a second control panel in this embodiment.

[0088] In the second case, a switching instruction triggered based on the control panel 1 is obtained, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from the indoor unit 1 to the indoor unit 2, and "The mode set by the remaining rooms conflicts with the current air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted" is displayed on the control panel 1.

[0089] In the third case, a switching instruction triggered based on the control panel 3 is obtained, the controlled device of the control panel 3 is switched from the indoor unit 3 to the indoor unit 2, and "The mode set by the remaining rooms conflicts with the current air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted" is displayed on the control panel 3. It should be noted that the control panel 3 is a third control panel in this embodiment.

[0090] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioning device according to another exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The control method of the air conditioning device of the present disclosure embodiment includes the following steps.

[0091] S301, acquire a second control instruction triggered based on the first control screen, wherein the second control instruction is used to synchronously control the multiple indoor units to switch to a second target operation mode.

[0092] S302, display a third message on the first control screen when there is at least one indoor unit in the multiple indoor units whose current operation mode is inconsistent with the second target operation mode, wherein the third message is used to confirm whether to execute the second control instruction.

[0093] It should be noted that the second control instruction is a centralized control instruction, which is used to synchronously control the multiple indoor units to switch to the second target operation mode, i.e., the second target operation mode is the operation mode to be switched by the multiple indoor units.

[0094] It can be understood that the inconsistency between the two operation modes includes the conflict and non-conflict between the two operation modes. For example, continuing with the above example, Figure 1 for example, if the second target operation mode is cooling, the current operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is heating, and the heating conflicts with the cooling, it can be determined that the current operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is inconsistent with the cooling, and the current operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is dehumidification, although the dehumidification does not conflict with the cooling, but the dehumidification and the cooling are two different operation modes, it can be determined that the current operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is inconsistent with the cooling.

[0095] Optionally, the indoor unit in the multiple indoor units that is inconsistent with the second target operation mode is a fourth indoor unit, i.e., the current operation mode of the fourth indoor unit is inconsistent with the second target operation mode.

[0096] Optionally, the fourth indoor unit is consistent with the second indoor unit.

[0097] Optionally, after displaying the third message on the first control screen, it further includes acquiring a second determination instruction for the second control instruction, in response to the second determination instruction, executing the second control instruction, acquiring a second rejection instruction for the second control instruction, and in response to the second rejection instruction, rejecting to execute the second control instruction. Thus, the second control instruction can be executed in response to the second determination instruction, and the second control instruction can be rejected to be executed in response to the second rejection instruction.

[0098] It should be noted that the second determination instruction and the second rejection instruction are triggered based on the operation of the first control screen, and the related content of the second determination instruction and the second rejection instruction can be referred to the following embodiments.

[0099] The following describes several cases of displaying the fourth message.

[0100] In the first case, after the second control instruction is executed, the method further includes determining a fourth control screen of the controlled device as a fourth indoor unit, and displaying a fourth message on the fourth control screen, where the fourth message is used to indicate reason information for switching the operation mode of the fourth indoor unit. Thus, when the second control instruction causes the fourth indoor unit to switch the operation mode, the fourth message is displayed on the fourth control screen to indicate the reason information for the fourth indoor unit to switch the operation mode, so as to timely inform the user of the fourth indoor unit switching the operation mode and the reason for the fourth indoor unit switching the operation mode.

[0101] In the second case, after the second control instruction is executed, the method further includes obtaining a switching instruction triggered based on the first control screen, switching the controlled device of the first control screen from the first indoor unit to the fourth indoor unit, and displaying a fourth message on the first control screen. Thus, when the second control instruction causes the fourth indoor unit to switch the operation mode, if the controlled device of the first control screen is switched from the first indoor unit to the fourth indoor unit, the fourth message is displayed on the first control screen to indicate the reason information for the fourth indoor unit to switch the operation mode, so as to timely inform the user of the fourth indoor unit switching the operation mode and the reason for the fourth indoor unit switching the operation mode.

[0102] In the third case, after the second control instruction is executed, the method further includes obtaining a switching instruction triggered based on the fifth control screen, switching the controlled device of the fifth control screen from the fifth indoor unit to the fourth indoor unit, and displaying a fourth message on the fifth control screen. Thus, when the second control instruction causes the fourth indoor unit to switch the operation mode, if the controlled device of the fifth control screen is switched from the fifth indoor unit to the fourth indoor unit, the fourth message is displayed on the fifth control screen to indicate the reason information for the fourth indoor unit to switch the operation mode, so as to timely inform the user of the fourth indoor unit switching the operation mode and the reason for the fourth indoor unit switching the operation mode.

[0103] Optionally, after the fourth message is displayed on the arbitrary control screen, if a setting operation, such as a touch operation of an “I know” component, is detected, the fourth message is stopped from being displayed on the arbitrary control screen, and the fourth message will not be displayed on other control screens in the future.

[0104] Next, the display content of the third message and the fourth message will be described below by taking Figure 1 as an example.

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

[0106] At this time, the control panel 1 is directly wired connected with the indoor unit 1, and the control panel 1 activates the centralized control function of the indoor units 1 to 3. A second control instruction triggered based on the control panel 1 is acquired, and the second control instruction is used for synchronously controlling the indoor units 1 to 3 to switch to the refrigeration, that is, the second target operation mode is the refrigeration.

[0107] If the current operation mode of the indoor units 1 and 3 is the refrigeration, and the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is the heating, a third message such as “Please confirm whether to uniformly start the refrigeration mode” is displayed on the control panel 1.

[0108] Based on the touch operation of the “confirm” component on the control panel 1, a second determination instruction for the second control instruction is generated, and the second control instruction is executed in response to the second determination instruction, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is switched to the refrigeration.

[0109] Based on the touch operation of the “cancel” component on the control panel 1, a second rejection instruction for the second control instruction is generated, and the second control instruction is rejected in response to the second rejection instruction, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is not switched to the refrigeration.

[0110] Taking the indoor unit 2 as the fourth indoor unit, the following describes several cases about the display of the fourth message after the execution of the second control instruction.

[0111] In a first case, the fourth message such as “The centralized control uniformly starts the refrigeration mode” is displayed on the control panel 2. It should be noted that the control panel 2 is the fourth control panel in this embodiment.

[0112] In a second case, a switching instruction triggered based on the control panel 1 is acquired, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from the indoor unit 1 to the indoor unit 2, and “The centralized control uniformly starts the refrigeration mode” is displayed on the control panel 1.

[0113] In a third case, a switching instruction triggered based on the control panel 3 is acquired, the controlled device of the control panel 3 is switched from the indoor unit 3 to the indoor unit 2, and “The centralized control uniformly starts the refrigeration mode” is displayed on the control panel 3. It should be noted that the control panel 3 is the fifth control panel in this embodiment.

[0114] The control method of the air conditioning equipment provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure acquires a second control instruction triggered based on a first control panel, the second control instruction is used for synchronously controlling multiple indoor units to switch to a second target operation mode, and when the current operation mode of at least one indoor unit in the multiple indoor units is inconsistent with the second target operation mode, a third message is displayed on the first control panel, the third message is used for confirming whether to execute the second control instruction, and the user can confirm whether to execute the second control instruction, which can avoid the operation mode of some indoor units from being switched due to the user's misoperation, thereby guaranteeing the reliability of the operation of the air conditioning equipment and optimizing the user experience.

[0115] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a control method of an air conditioning device according to another exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The control method of the air conditioning device of the present embodiment comprises the following steps.

[0116] S401, obtaining a switching instruction triggered based on the first control panel, switching 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 connected with the second indoor unit, and the first control panel is indirectly wired connected with the first indoor unit. Thus, the controlled device of the first control panel can be switched from the indoor unit directly wired connected to the indoor unit indirectly wired connected. For example, taking Figure 1 as an example, a switching instruction triggered based on the control panel 1 can be obtained, switching the controlled device of the control panel 1 from the indoor unit 1 to the indoor unit 2.

[0118] Optionally, the first control panel is indirectly wired connected with the second indoor unit, and the first control panel is directly wired connected with the first indoor unit. Thus, the controlled device of the first control panel can be switched from the indoor unit indirectly wired connected to the indoor unit directly wired connected. For example, taking Figure 1 as an example, a switching instruction triggered based on the control panel 1 can be obtained, switching the controlled device of the control panel 1 from the indoor unit 2 to the indoor unit 1.

[0119] Optionally, the first control panel is indirectly wired connected with the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit. Thus, the controlled device of the first control panel can be switched from the indoor unit indirectly wired connected to another indoor unit indirectly wired connected. For example, taking Figure 1 as an example, a switching instruction triggered based on the control panel 1 can be obtained, switching the controlled device of the control panel 1 from the indoor unit 2 to the indoor unit 3.

[0120] Optionally, obtaining the switching instruction triggered based on the first control panel comprises displaying an indoor unit list on the first control panel, and generating the switching instruction in response to a selection operation for the first indoor unit on the indoor unit list. It can be understood that the user can perform the selection operation for the first indoor unit on the first control panel, and the switching instruction can be triggered based on the selection operation.

[0121] Optionally, the above selection operation comprises a selection operation for the first indoor unit on the indoor unit list and a confirmation operation for the first indoor unit.

[0122] For example, taking 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 the first type of control function and the second type of control function are not limited. For example, compared with the first type of control function, the second type of control function lacks a setting function, a centralized control function, a scene function, and a key control function.

[0132] S402, display a control page of the first indoor unit on the first control screen.

[0133] Optionally, before displaying the control page of the first indoor unit on the first control screen, the method further comprises loading the control page of the first indoor unit.

[0134] Optionally, after switching the controlled device of the first control screen from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, the method further comprises obtaining at least one of environmental information of a target space attribute corresponding to the first indoor unit, operation information of the first indoor unit, and device information of the first indoor unit as target information to be displayed on the first control screen, and displaying the target information on the first control screen. Thereby, after switching the controlled device of the first control screen, at least one of the environmental information, the operation information, and the device information associated with the first control screen can be displayed on the first control screen.

[0135] For example, continue to take Figure 1 as an example, a switching instruction triggered based on the control screen 1 is obtained, the controlled device of the control screen 1 is switched from the indoor unit 1 to the indoor unit 2, and the control page of the indoor unit 2 is displayed on the control screen 1.

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

[0137] S403, obtain a first control instruction for controlling the first indoor unit, wherein the first control instruction is triggered based on an operation on the first control screen.

[0138] S404, in a case where a first target operation mode corresponding to the first control instruction conflicts with an operation mode of the second indoor unit, display a first message on the first control screen, wherein the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit are different indoor units of an air conditioning device, and the first message is used to confirm whether to execute the first control instruction.

[0139] The related content of steps S403-S404 can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0140] The control method of the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises: obtaining a switching instruction triggered based on a first control panel; switching a controlled device of the first control panel from a first indoor unit to a fourth indoor unit; and displaying a fourth message on the first control panel. In this way, only the switching of the indoor unit needs to be performed on the control panel, and multiple indoor units can be controlled through one control panel, thereby simplifying the operation of the user and optimizing the user experience.

[0141] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, after the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, the method further comprises, in the case that the first control panel is directly wired connected with the first indoor unit, controlling the first control panel to activate the centralized control function of the at least two indoor units, so as to ensure that the centralized control function can be normally used.

[0142] In the case that the first control panel is indirectly wired connected with the first indoor unit, the first control panel is controlled to disable or hide the centralized control function of the at least two indoor units, i.e., the centralized control function cannot be used.

[0143] For example, taking the case of Figure 1 For example, taking the case of

[0144] For example, taking the case of

[0145] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, before the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, the method further comprises determining that the first indoor unit is not in an upgrading state. In this way, after it is determined that the first indoor unit is not in the upgrading state, the controlled device of the first control panel is switched to the first indoor unit, which can avoid the case that the first indoor unit is in the upgrading state and the controlled device of the first control panel is still switched to the first indoor unit, thereby optimizing the use experience of the user.

[0146] It should be noted that the upgrading mode of the indoor unit is not limited, for example, OTA (Over-The-Air, Over-The-Air) upgrading and the like.
