[0092] Step S60, determining the target indoor unit corresponding to the indoor unit identifier, and controlling the target indoor unit to execute the prompt instruction, so that the target indoor unit outputs a prompt signal.

[0093] Optionally, it is applied to a multi-split air conditioner; or applied to a wire controller of a multi-split air conditioner, such as Figure 4As shown, at least two indoor units of the multi-split air conditioner are connected in parallel to the same outdoor unit via communication lines, wherein one wire controller is connected to one indoor unit. Optionally, the remaining indoor units may also be provided with corresponding wire controllers. The multi-split air conditioner may be provided with a central control screen, which may be connected to any indoor unit to control the multi-split air conditioner.

[0098] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a third embodiment of the multi-split air conditioner network distribution method of the present invention, based on the second embodiment, and before step S40, it also includes:

[0099] Step S70, initiating a network configuration process to enable the mobile terminal to log in to the account;

[0100] Step S80, after the mobile terminal account is logged in, the step of sending the internal machine identification of each internal machine to be configured to the server is executed.

[0101] Optionally, step S70 includes: displaying a QR code in a preset display area of ​​the wire controller based on the network configuration process, so that the mobile terminal scans the QR code to log in to the account; or, displaying an input interface in a preset display area based on the network configuration process, so that the user can log in to the account by entering the account and password; or, receiving a near field communication signal based on the network configuration process, so that the account can be logged in by near field communication. Optionally, the preset display area is the display area of ​​the wire controller.

[0102] Optionally, before step S70, the method further includes: receiving an input WiFi account and password to connect the multi-split air conditioner to the network.

[0103] Optionally, step S80 includes: obtaining a unique identifier assigned by the outdoor unit to each indoor unit, wherein the unique identifier is an identifier assigned by the outdoor unit to the indoor unit, which can be changed, and is shorter than the indoor unit identifier, for example, the unique identifier is a number, i.e. indoor unit 1, indoor unit 2, etc. According to the size order of the unique identifiers of the indoor units, the indoor unit identifiers are sent to the server, and the server obtains the indoor unit identifiers of each indoor unit to be networked of the multi-split air conditioner; a prompt instruction is generated according to the indoor unit identifier of the target indoor unit, and the prompt instruction is sent to the target indoor unit to control the target indoor unit to output a prompt signal; room allocation information sent by the mobile terminal is received, and the room allocation information is associated with the target indoor unit and saved, and the target indoor unit is re-determined among other indoor units until all indoor units have corresponding room allocation information, and the other indoor units are indoor units other than the target indoor unit.

[0104] Optionally, after the room allocation information corresponding to each indoor unit is obtained, a control instruction input by the user is obtained, the control instruction includes a unique identifier of the indoor unit; and the operation of the corresponding indoor unit is controlled based on the unique identifier. Since the unique identifier is relatively short, the control signal is transmitted to the indoor unit at a faster speed, thereby improving the timeliness of the indoor unit control.

[0105] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, an indoor unit is connected to a central control screen, for example, an indoor unit in a living room is connected to a central control screen, and the control command input by the user can be input through the central control screen. Optionally, the control command input by the user is input through a mobile terminal.

[0106] In the technical solution of this embodiment, a network configuration process is initiated through a multi-split air conditioner to enable a mobile terminal to log in to an account; after the mobile terminal account is logged in, the indoor unit identification of each indoor unit to be configured in the multi-split air conditioner is sent to the server, so that after the server obtains the room allocation information corresponding to the indoor unit, the room allocation information is associated with the indoor unit and saved, thereby achieving a one-to-one correspondence between the indoor unit and the room allocation information, making it easier for the mobile terminal to control the operation of the corresponding indoor unit, thereby improving the accuracy of the indoor unit control.

[0107] In one embodiment, the multi-split air conditioner initiates a network configuration process to enable the mobile terminal to log in to an account; after the mobile terminal account is logged in, the indoor unit identification of each indoor unit to be configured in the multi-split air conditioner is sent to the server. The server obtains the indoor unit identification of each indoor unit to be configured in the multi-split air conditioner; generates a prompt instruction according to the indoor unit identification of the target indoor unit, and controls the target indoor unit based on the prompt instruction. The multi-split air conditioner receives the prompt instruction sent by the server, and determines the indoor unit identification corresponding to the prompt instruction; determines the target indoor unit corresponding to the indoor unit identification, and controls the target indoor unit to execute the prompt instruction, so that the target indoor unit outputs a prompt signal. After observing the prompt signal, the user enters the room allocation information corresponding to the indoor unit in the mobile terminal, and the server receives the room allocation information sent by the mobile terminal, and associates the room allocation information with the target indoor unit for storage.

[0108] In the technical solution of the present embodiment, a prompt instruction sent by a server is received, and an indoor machine identifier corresponding to the prompt instruction is determined; a target indoor machine corresponding to the indoor machine identifier is determined, and the target indoor machine is controlled to execute the prompt instruction so that the target indoor machine outputs a prompt signal. The user determines the room allocation information corresponding to the indoor machine by observing the prompt signal sent by the target indoor machine. The server receives the room allocation information sent by the mobile terminal, and associates the room allocation information with the target indoor machine for storage, so that the indoor machine corresponds to the room allocation information one by one, which facilitates the mobile terminal to control the operation of the corresponding indoor machine and improves the accuracy of the indoor machine control.

[0109] In one embodiment, if Figure 6As shown, multiple indoor units of the same system are connected to the same outdoor unit in parallel through communication lines. After power is turned on, the outdoor unit assigns a unique address, i.e., a unique identifier, to each indoor unit to identify the corresponding indoor unit. The same system has at least one indoor unit connected to a wired controller, which is used to perform local sub-control of the indoor units of the same system and batch network binding. On the wired controller connected to the indoor unit, enter the WiFi account and password to establish a network connection for the wired controller. The batch network binding process is initiated on the wired controller, and a QR code appears on the wired controller. The QR code is scanned through a mobile smart home app such as a mobile phone to authorize the account, and the batch network configuration process appears synchronously on the smart home app. The wired controller first sends the SN code, i.e., the indoor unit identifier, and the family ID, i.e., the family account, of the directly connected indoor unit to the cloud server via the wireless network. The cloud server binds the SN code of the indoor unit to the corresponding family ID, and sends the instructions to turn on the buzzer, indicator light, and power on the indoor unit. The corresponding indoor unit buzzer sounds, the indicator light flashes, and the indoor unit panel opens. At this time, an interactive interface appears on the smart home app, allowing users to assign rooms to the indoor unit and modify the device name, that is, to determine the room allocation information. After the user assigns the room to the indoor unit and modifies the device name on the smart home app, the cloud server sends an instruction to turn off the buzzer, indicator light, and indoor unit panel of the corresponding indoor unit. The smart home app further guides the user to assign rooms to other indoor units in the same system and modify the device name. After removing the indoor units in the assigned room, the same multi-split air conditioner sends the SN code and family ID of the corresponding indoor unit to the cloud server one by one according to the indoor unit allocation address from small to large, until all indoor units of the same multi-split air conditioner are assigned rooms and the device name is modified. The batch network distribution process of this multi-split air conditioner is completed.
