In addition, in order to enhance clarity and conciseness, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0036] The embodiments described in some embodiments of the present disclosure below 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.

[0037] Figure 1 is a flow chart showing a control method based on air conditioning equipment according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included.

[0038] Step 101: In response to a first control instruction for controlling a first controlled device, it is determined whether the first controlled device can be controlled during an air conditioning upgrade process according to a current upgrade device in the air conditioning device.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first control instruction can be received through the control screens corresponding to multiple indoor units. The control screen can first obtain the current upgraded device of the air-conditioning equipment, and determine whether the first controlled device can be controlled through the server based on the control lines available in the current upgraded device during the upgrade process, for example: server control lines (such as cloud control lines), wired lines (wired control lines), etc., to meet user needs.

[0040] In some examples, the server may include a cloud server, a hub server, or the like.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first control instruction can be an instruction generated by the user to operate the first control screen when the operating state of the first controlled device needs to be changed, and the first controlled device can be controlled through the server; the first controlled device can be a household device that is wirelessly connected to the control screen and can receive control instructions sent by the server. Through the Internet, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies, various electrical appliances and systems in the home can be interconnected, and living comfort, safety and energy efficiency can be improved through automation and remote control, such as: air humidifiers, sweeping robots, washing machines, range hoods, smart TVs, smart refrigerators, etc.

[0042] Among them, the air conditioning equipment may include an outdoor unit and multiple indoor units, and the multiple indoor units have their own corresponding control panels. The current upgraded equipment may include but is not limited to indoor units, outdoor units, control panels, etc. In specific application scenarios, for multi-split air conditioners, one outdoor unit can be connected to multiple indoor units. The outdoor unit can be used to provide refrigerant circulation to form a centralized cooling / heating system. The indoor unit can be used to distribute the refrigerant to each room and adjust parameters such as temperature and wind speed. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently or in conjunction with the user's needs to meet the personalized needs of different rooms and improve the user's comfort.

[0043] Step 102: When it is determined that the first controlled device can be controlled, a first control instruction is sent to the server to control the first controlled device.

[0044] In some embodiments, when it is determined that the first controlled device can be controlled by the server according to the current upgraded device, the first control instruction can be sent to the server through the first control screen, and the control operation corresponding to the first control instruction is executed to control the first controlled device, thereby satisfying the user's use requirements for the first controlled device and reducing the functional limitations of the control screen during the air conditioner upgrade process. Exemplarily, the first control screen can connect to the first controlled device through a wireless network, Bluetooth, etc., and issue the first control instruction to the first controlled device, thereby realizing cloud control of the first controlled device and effectively improving the user's home experience.

[0045] Compared with the current related technologies, the air-conditioning equipment in this embodiment may include an outdoor unit and multiple indoor units, and the multiple indoor units have their own corresponding control screens. In response to the first control instruction for controlling the first controlled device, it is determined whether the first controlled device can be controlled during the air-conditioning upgrade process according to the current upgraded device in the air-conditioning equipment; if it is determined that the first controlled device can be controlled, the first control instruction is sent to the server to control the first controlled device. By applying the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, after responding to the first control instruction for controlling the first controlled device, it can be determined whether the first controlled device can be controlled by the server during the upgrade process of the current upgraded device. If it is determined that the first controlled device can be controlled, the first control instruction can be sent to the server to control the first controlled device through the server, thereby providing the user with the control function of the first controlled device during the air-conditioning upgrade process, reducing the functional limitations of the control screen during the air-conditioning upgrade process, meeting more user needs, and effectively improving the user's home experience.

[0046] Optionally, based on the current upgraded device in the air-conditioning equipment, determining whether the first controlled device can be controlled by the server during the air-conditioning upgrade process may specifically include: if the current upgraded device is the first control panel or the first indoor unit corresponding to the first control panel, it is determined that the first controlled device cannot be controlled, and the first control panel is the control panel that receives the first control instruction.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first control screen may include a control screen corresponding to the indoor unit, such as a main control panel and a sub-control panel. The control screen is the main interface for the user to interact with the air-conditioning system, and can be used to receive a first control instruction, allowing the user to set the temperature, adjust the operating mode (such as cooling, heating, dehumidification, etc.), set the wind speed and wind direction, and other functions. The control screen is not limited to traditional physical buttons or knobs, but also includes a touch screen, a remote control, and a remote control method through a smartphone application (APP). Exemplarily, the user can trigger the first control instruction through the physical button of the first control screen, or send the first control instruction to the first control screen through the application corresponding to the first control screen, so as to remotely control the first controlled device through the server to meet more user needs.

[0048] For example, if the air conditioner enters the update process of the first control panel or the first indoor unit corresponding to the first control panel, and the update is not completed, that is, the firmware of the first control panel or the first indoor unit corresponding to the first control panel is being updated, then the server control line between the first control panel and the first controlled device can be suspended, and the first controlled device cannot be controlled through the server, thereby reducing the upgrade impact on the current upgraded device and improving the upgrade efficiency of the current upgraded device.

[0049] Optionally, based on the current upgraded device in the air-conditioning equipment, determining whether the first controlled device can be controlled during the air-conditioning upgrade process may also specifically include: if the current upgraded device is the outdoor unit of the air-conditioning, or a second indoor unit different from the first indoor unit, or a control panel of the second indoor unit, then determining that the first controlled device can be controlled.

[0050] Among them, the first control screen may include multiple physical buttons, which can be used to connect physical lights or convert into wireless switches to set automation scenes and control multiple home appliances.

[0051] For example, if the currently upgraded device is an outdoor unit, the non-upgraded indoor unit and the control panel corresponding to the indoor unit and the cloud control line of the first controlled device will not be affected, and the first controlled device can be controlled. Specifically, the user can input the first control instruction to the first control screen through the physical button in the first control screen, and the first control screen responds to the first control instruction to control the first controlled device and can send the first control instruction to the server to control the first controlled device, thereby reducing the impact on users during the upgrade process and effectively improving the user's home experience.

[0052] Among them, the second indoor unit can be an indoor unit distributed in a different room from the first indoor unit, so as to provide users with personalized air conditioning configuration. Exemplarily, if the first indoor unit is the indoor unit of the current room, and the first indoor unit and the first control screen corresponding to the first indoor unit have not been upgraded, the second indoor unit is the indoor unit of another room, and the second indoor unit or the control screen of the second indoor unit is in the process of upgrading, then the network connection between the second indoor unit and the first controlled device can be suspended, and the control screen corresponding to the second indoor unit can be suspended to control the first controlled device, and the cloud control line between the first indoor unit and the first controlled device is not affected, and the first control screen corresponding to the first indoor unit can be used to send the first control instruction to the server to control the first controlled device, thereby reducing the impact on users during the upgrading process.

[0053] Further optionally, the method of this embodiment may also specifically include: recording the first control state of the first controlled device in the first control screen, and synchronizing the first control state to the second control screen through the connection between the first control screen and the second control screen, wherein the first control screen and the second control screen correspond to the same first indoor unit.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first control state may be the current state of the first controlled device, and the first control screen may be used to monitor the control state of the first controlled device in real time, and synchronize the first control state to the second control screen, so that the user can use different control screens to control the same home appliance. Accordingly, the first control screen and the second control screen may be connected via a power line communication line as a data transmission medium, allowing the transmission of power and digital information on the same wire without laying additional dedicated communication cables, and is suitable for scenarios that require simplified wiring and improved system integration, such as smart homes, smart grids, and building automation systems.

[0055] In a specific application scenario, the first control screen and the second control screen may be control screens corresponding to the first indoor unit and located at different positions, so as to meet the user's need to control the same household appliance at different positions and provide convenient operation for the user. Exemplarily, the first control screen may be the main control panel of the first indoor unit, and the second control screen may be the sub-control panel of the first indoor unit. The main control panel may have more functions than the sub-control panel. For example, the automation function of the air conditioner is only controlled by the main control screen. Accordingly, multiple control screens may be deployed in the same room. Multiple control screens in the same room may be connected via power line communication lines to synchronize the control status of each associated household appliance. For example, if the main control panel receives a control command of "turn on the humidifier" and turns it on, the status of the humidifier may be synchronized to the sub-control panel, and the humidifier is displayed as turned on in the sub-control panel.

[0056] In some embodiments, the user can configure on the mobile terminal whether data synchronization is required between the first control screen and the second control screen. If the user configuration requires synchronization of the status of each home appliance, a synchronization request between the first control screen and the second control screen can be generated through the mobile terminal and sent to the server. After receiving the synchronization request, the server sends the synchronization request to the first control screen and the second control screen, instructing the first control screen and the second control screen to synchronize the status of each home appliance in real time. Correspondingly, the first control screen and the second control screen can be connected through a power line communication line for data synchronization, or through a server to provide users with more home services. Exemplarily, the server may include but is not limited to a cloud server, a server, etc. The server-side refers to the party in the network architecture that is responsible for processing client requests and providing data or resources. It usually runs on server hardware, communicates with the client through a network protocol, and executes business logic, storage and retrieval of data and other tasks.

[0057] Optionally, the method of this embodiment may further specifically include: receiving a second control state of the first controlled device sent by the second control screen; and updating the recorded first control state according to the second control state.

[0058] Exemplarily, the second control state can be obtained by the user controlling the first controlled device in the second control screen. The user can use the second control screen to issue a control instruction for the first controlled device, change the first control state of the first controlled device to the second control state, and then record the second control state through the second control screen and synchronize it to the first control screen. Accordingly, after the first control screen receives the second control state of the first controlled device sent by the second control screen through the power line communication line, it can perform a corresponding state update to maintain synchronization with the second control screen.

[0059] In this way, after the user operates the first controlled device through the first control screen, the first control screen can synchronize the status of the first controlled device to the second control screen, and the user can control the first controlled device based on the device status at this time, and change the status of the first controlled device to the second control status, thereby meeting the user's need to continue operating on other control screens after operating on one control screen, and facilitating the user to obtain the status information of the first controlled device and / or the second controlled device in different room locations and control them, making the control function of the control screen diversified, thereby meeting the user's needs for controlling multiple home appliances in different locations and improving the user's home experience.

[0060] Optionally, the first control panel is connected to the second controlled device by wire, and the method of this embodiment may further include: controlling the second controlled device by wire control in response to a second control instruction to control the second controlled device.

[0061] In some embodiments, the wire control method can send control instructions through the power line communication line to control the second controlled device. The second controlled device can be a home appliance connected to the first control screen by wire, such as a lamp, and the second controlled device is controlled by the physical buttons in the first control screen. During the upgrade process of the air conditioner, the first control screen can receive and execute the second control instruction corresponding to the second controlled device through the physical buttons corresponding to the second controlled device, and will not be affected by the air conditioner upgrade, thereby meeting the user's control needs for a variety of home appliances and improving the user's home experience.

[0062] Optionally, the second controlled device is also connected to the second control panel by wire, and the first control panel and the second control panel correspond to the same first indoor unit. The method of this embodiment may also specifically include: if the current upgraded device in the air-conditioning equipment is an outdoor unit, or a second indoor unit different from the first indoor unit, or a control panel of the second indoor unit, then the control status of the second controlled device is synchronized to the second control panel through the connection between the first control panel and the second control panel; if the current upgraded device in the air-conditioning equipment is the first control panel, or the second control panel, or the first indoor unit, then it is determined that the communication with the second control panel is disconnected, and the control status of the second controlled device is not synchronized to the second control panel.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second controlled device can be connected to the first control screen and / or the second control screen corresponding to the first indoor unit by wire. For example, if the outdoor unit, the second indoor unit corresponding to other rooms, or the air conditioning control screen of the second indoor unit is being upgraded, it will not affect the wire control line between the first indoor unit and the second controlled device in the current room. The first control screen and the second control screen corresponding to the first indoor unit can maintain control of the second controlled device by wire control and synchronously record the control status of the second controlled device.

[0064] Correspondingly, if the air conditioner is upgraded to the first control panel, or the second control panel, or the first indoor unit in the current room according to the upgrade process of the air conditioner, the communication between the first control panel and the second control panel can be suspended, and then the status synchronization between the first control panel and the second control panel can be suspended. The first control screen does not need to synchronize the control status of the second controlled device to the second control panel to reduce the impact on the air conditioner upgrade.

[0065] In some embodiments, the user can configure the home appliances associated with the first control screen and / or the second control screen on the mobile terminal. Specifically, the home appliances associated with each physical button corresponding to the first control screen and / or the second control screen can be configured, and one physical button can be configured to be associated with one or more home appliances.

[0066] Optionally, the method of this embodiment may also include: if the current upgraded device in the air-conditioning equipment is the first control screen or the first indoor unit corresponding to the first control screen, pausing other control screens except the first control screen and switching to the first control screen, the first control screen is the control screen that receives the first control instruction.

[0067] For example, if the first control screen in the current room, or the first indoor unit corresponding to the first control screen, is being upgraded, other control screens in other rooms may be paused and switched to the first control screen to reduce the impact on the equipment during the upgrade process.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first control screen may include three physical buttons, namely, a left button, a middle button, and a right button, wherein the left button can be used to control the air conditioner, and the middle button and the right button can be used to associate with the first controlled device or the second controlled device, and can be used as switches for different home appliances to meet more user needs. In some embodiments, the right button in the first control screen or the second control screen can be configured to associate with the first controlled device and / or the second controlled device, and a control instruction can be input through the right button, and the control instruction may include control of the first controlled device and / or the second controlled device.

[0069] For example, the right button can be configured to associate a wired light and a wireless humidifier. If the current upgrade device is an outdoor unit, or the second indoor unit in another room, or the control screen corresponding to the second indoor unit, when the user clicks the right button, the light and humidifier can be turned on at the same time; if the current upgrade device is the first indoor unit, or the first control screen corresponding to the first indoor unit, when the user clicks the right button, the light can be turned on and off, but the humidifier cannot be turned on or off; correspondingly, if the air conditioner is in the process of upgrading, the air conditioner service corresponding to the left button can be suspended. In this way, home appliances connected to different lines can be linked and controlled according to the current upgrade device, and batch control of multiple home appliances can be realized. While ensuring the upgrade of the air conditioner, users can be provided with automated control of multiple home appliances to meet their home needs.

[0070] Compared with the current related technologies, this embodiment can judge the control state of the first controlled device according to the current upgraded device. If the current upgraded device is the first control screen or the first indoor unit corresponding to the first control screen, it is determined that the first controlled device cannot be controlled by the server to reduce the impact on the air conditioner upgrade. The first control state of the first controlled device can be synchronized to the second control screen through the connection between the first control screen and the second control screen, so that users can use different control screens to control the same home appliance, thereby ensuring that when the air conditioner is upgraded, the user's various usage needs for home appliances are met and the user's home experience is improved.

[0071] Figure 2 is a block diagram of a control device based on air conditioning equipment according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 , the device includes: a control module 21.

[0072] The control module 21 is configured to respond to a first control instruction for controlling a first controlled device, and determine whether the first controlled device can be controlled during the air-conditioning upgrade process according to a current upgraded device in the air-conditioning device; when it is determined that the first controlled device can be controlled, send the first control instruction to the server to control the first controlled device, and the air-conditioning device includes an outdoor unit and multiple indoor units, and the multiple indoor units have their own corresponding control screens.

[0073] In some examples of this embodiment, the control module 21 is specifically configured to determine that the first controlled device cannot be controlled if the current upgraded device is the first control panel or the first indoor unit corresponding to the first control panel, and the first control panel is the control panel that receives the first control instruction.

[0074] In some examples of this embodiment, the control module 21 is further configured to determine that the first controlled device can be controlled by the server if the current upgraded device is an outdoor unit, or a second indoor unit different from the first indoor unit, or a control panel of the second indoor unit.

[0076] In some examples of this embodiment, the control module 21 is specifically configured to receive the second control state of the first controlled device sent by the second control screen; and update the recorded first control state according to the second control state.

[0077] In some examples of this embodiment, the first control panel is connected to the second controlled device by wire, and the control module 21 is specifically configured to control the second controlled device by wire control in response to a second control instruction for controlling the second controlled device.

[0078] In some examples of this embodiment, the second controlled device is also wired to the second control panel, the first control panel and the second control panel correspond to the same first indoor unit, and the control module 21 is specifically configured to synchronize the control state of the second controlled device to the second control panel through the connection between the first control panel and the second control panel if the current upgraded device in the air-conditioning device is an outdoor unit, or a second indoor unit different from the first indoor unit, or a control panel of the second indoor unit; if the current upgraded device in the air-conditioning device is the first control panel, or the second control panel, or the first indoor unit, determine that the communication with the second control panel is disconnected, and do not synchronize the control state of the second controlled device to the second control panel.

[0079] In some examples of this embodiment, the control module 21 is further specifically configured to suspend other control screens other than the first control screen and switch to the first control screen if the current upgraded device in the air-conditioning device is the first control screen or the first indoor unit corresponding to the first control screen. The first control screen is the control screen that receives the first control instruction.
