Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of device control technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and computer program product for linkage control of devices. Background Art

[0002] At present, air conditioners and air circulation equipment are important products in residential household electrical appliances. Air conditioners can adjust the humidity and temperature in the room, but due to structural limitations or noise experience of air conditioners, the air supply volume of air conditioners is usually small, which is difficult to meet user needs; air circulation equipment can promote air circulation in the room, allowing users to feel a comfortable blowing feeling, but air circulation equipment cannot adjust the humidity and temperature in the room. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related art, the present disclosure provides a linkage control method, apparatus, storage medium and computer program product for a device.

[0004] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for linkage control of equipment is provided, comprising: in response to a trigger operation of a user on an operation panel, controlling the linkage between a sweeping mode of an air conditioner and a swinging mode of an air circulation device; wherein, the air conditioner and the air circulation device are located in the same space, the operation panel is a mechanical panel or a display interface in an application, and the operation panel is used to adjust operating data of the air conditioner and / or the air circulation device, wherein the operating data includes an operating mode and / or operating parameters.

[0005] Through the above technical solution, in response to a user triggering operation on the operation panel, the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swinging mode of the air circulation device in the same space can be controlled to be linked. In this process, the linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation device can complement each other's shortcomings. After the air conditioner's sweeping mode changes, the swinging mode of the air circulation device also changes accordingly. The air supply output by the air circulation device can make up for the air conditioner's smaller air supply volume, thereby meeting the user's needs. The air conditioner can also regulate the indoor temperature and humidity, thereby compensating for the air circulation device's inability to regulate indoor temperature and humidity. Furthermore, the linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation device is only controlled when the air conditioner and the air circulation device are in the same space. This linkage adjusts the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swinging mode of the air circulation device in the same space. When the air conditioner and the air circulation device are linked in the same space, the linked air supply effect is better. In addition, the user can control the linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation device on the operation panel, without having to go to the location of the air conditioner or air circulation device to adjust the air supply mode linkage of the air conditioner or air circulation device, which brings convenience to the user.

[0006] In a possible implementation, the display interface includes an air flow management interface, and the air flow management interface includes a linkage air supply control; and the linkage between the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation device is controlled in response to the triggering operation of the user on the operation panel, including: the linkage between the air sweeping mode and the swing mode is controlled in response to the triggering operation of the linkage air supply control.

[0007] Through the technical solution, the user triggers the linkage air supply control on the air flow management interface displayed on the operation panel, and the linkage between the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation device can be remotely controlled. The user does not need to go to the location of the air conditioner or the location of the air circulation device to control the linkage between the air sweeping mode and the swing mode, which brings convenience to the user.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the display interface further includes a setting interface, and the setting interface includes a linkage air sweeping control; and the linkage between the air sweeping mode and the swing mode is controlled in response to the triggering operation of the linkage air supply control, including: the linkage between the air sweeping mode and the swing mode is controlled in response to the triggering operation of the linkage air sweeping control when the linkage air supply control is triggered.

[0009] Through the technical solution, the linkage mode required by the user can be configured / selected on the setting interface. If the user triggers the linkage air sweeping control on the setting interface, it indicates that the user expects the linkage between the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation device. After the user triggers the linkage air supply control to start on the air flow management interface, the linkage between the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation device is started.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the display interface further includes an air flow management interface, and the air flow management interface includes a linkage air sweeping control; and the linkage between the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation device is controlled in response to the triggering operation of the user on the operation panel, including: the linkage between the air sweeping mode and the swing mode is controlled in response to the triggering operation of the linkage air sweeping control.

[0011] Through the technical solution, the linkage air sweeping control can be displayed on the air flow management interface. The linkage between the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation device can be controlled by triggering the linkage air sweeping control on the air flow management interface, without triggering the linkage air sweeping control on the setting interface and triggering the linkage air supply control on the air flow management interface, which reduces the number of operations of the user and brings convenience to the user.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: in response to a closing operation of the linked air supply control and / or the linked air sweeping control, controlling the air sweeping mode to stop being linked to the swinging mode.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, users can also turn off the linked air supply control and / or the sweep air linkage control, thereby remotely controlling the sweep air mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation device to stop the linkage, without having to go to the air conditioner location or the air circulation device location to perform the shut-down operation, which brings convenience to the user's operation.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the swing mode includes a dynamic mode and a static mode; the dynamic mode indicates that the air circulation device is in a swinging state, and the static mode indicates that the air circulation device is in a frozen state after the swing.

[0015] In one possible embodiment, the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner is an up and down sweeping mode, and the corresponding swinging mode of the air circulation device is an up and down swinging mode; the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner is a left and right sweeping mode, and the corresponding swinging mode of the air circulation device is a left and right swinging mode.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the air conditioner's sweep mode can be controlled to be consistent with the sweep range of the air circulation device's swing mode. For example, when the air conditioner is in the up-down sweep mode and the air circulation device is in the up-down swing mode, the sweep ranges of both are the up-down sweep range. For another example, when the air conditioner is in the left-right sweep mode and the air circulation device is in the left-right swing mode, the sweep ranges of both are the left-right sweep range. In this way, when the sweep range indicated by the swing mode of the air circulation device is consistent with the sweep range indicated by the sweep mode of the air conditioner, the air circulation device can spread the conditioned air output by the air conditioner to a farther location, thereby meeting the user's demand for a wider sweep range.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the maximum swing stroke of the air circulation device in the dynamic mode is a preset first swing stroke or a user-configured second swing stroke, and the second swing stroke is less than or equal to the first swing stroke.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the maximum swing stroke of the air circulation device can be a system-defined default swing stroke or a user-configured swing stroke, so that the maximum swing stroke of the air circulation device in the swing mode has a variety of configurations.

[0019] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: in the process of controlling the linkage between the sweeping mode and the swing mode, in response to receiving a user instruction, controlling the air circulation device to execute in the target swing mode indicated by the user instruction.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, in the process of controlling the linkage between the sweeping mode and the swinging mode of the air conditioner, if a user instruction is received, it means that the user now expects the air circulation device to execute according to the user instruction rather than according to the swinging mode linked to the air conditioner. The priority of the target swinging mode indicated by the user instruction is higher than the priority of the swinging mode corresponding to the sweeping mode. Therefore, the air circulation device can be controlled to execute according to the target swinging mode indicated by the user instruction to meet the user's need to adjust the swing mode of the air circulation device.

[0021] In a possible embodiment, there is a correspondence between the sweeping mode and the swinging mode, and the method further includes: in response to a change in the sweeping mode of the air conditioner, controlling the air circulation device to switch from the target swinging mode to a swinging mode corresponding to the changed sweeping mode.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, after the sweeping mode of the air conditioner changes, it indicates that the user demand has changed. Therefore, the air circulation device can be switched from the target swing mode to the swing mode corresponding to the changed sweeping mode, thereby restoring the linkage air supply mode between the air conditioner and the air circulation device.

[0023] In a possible embodiment, the setting interface also includes a wind speed linkage control and a wind sense linkage control; the method also includes: when at least one target control among the wind speed linkage control, the wind sweep linkage control and the wind sense linkage control in the setting interface is triggered, in response to the triggering operation of the linkage air supply control, controlling the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment to execute in accordance with the linkage mode indicated by the at least one target control.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, at least one target control among the wind speed linkage control, the wind sweep linkage control and the wind sense linkage control can be triggered, so that the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment execute at least one linkage mode among the wind speed linkage mode, the wind sweep linkage mode and the wind sense linkage mode, providing users with diversified linkages between the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment.

[0025] In one possible embodiment, the airflow management interface also includes a linked temperature control control; the method also includes: in response to a triggering operation on at least one target control among the linked temperature control control and the linked air supply control, controlling the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment to execute in accordance with the linked mode indicated by the at least one target control.

[0026] The above technical solution can trigger at least one of the linked temperature control and linked air supply controls in the airflow management interface, causing the air conditioner and air circulation device to execute at least one of the linked air supply mode and the linked temperature control mode, providing users with diverse linkages between the air conditioner and the air circulation device. The linked air supply mode includes at least one of the wind speed linkage mode, the wind sweep linkage mode, and the wind sensor linkage mode.

[0027] In one possible embodiment, there is a corresponding relationship between the first air supply intensity of the air conditioner and the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device; the method also includes: when the wind sweep linkage control and the wind speed linkage control are turned on at the same time, controlling the air conditioner to execute the target air supply intensity; the target air supply intensity is less than the second air supply intensity.

[0028] With the above technical solution, when both the wind speed linkage control and the sweep linkage control are enabled simultaneously, the air conditioner and air circulation device will be triggered to execute both wind speed linkage mode and sweep linkage mode. Since the air conditioner and air circulation device swing up and down or left and right in sweep linkage mode to accelerate indoor air circulation, providing users with a better air supply experience, this increases the air supply intensity. Therefore, the air circulation device's use of a lower target air supply intensity can be combined with the additional air supply intensity provided by the sweep linkage, without compromising the user's air supply experience.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: correcting the second air supply intensity according to a correction coefficient to obtain the target air supply intensity.

[0030] In one possible embodiment, in response to a trigger operation by a user on an operation panel, controlling the sweeping mode of the air conditioner to be linked with the swinging mode of the air circulation device includes: when the air conditioner and the air circulation device are both connected to the network, controlling the sweeping mode to be linked with the swinging mode in response to a trigger operation by a user on the operation panel.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, on the basis that both the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment are connected to the network, for example, the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment are in the same network or different networks, the operating data of the two can be exchanged, thereby realizing the linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment.

[0032] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a linkage control device for an equipment is provided, which is used to execute the linkage control method for the equipment provided by the first aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the device includes: a linkage control module, which is configured to control the linkage between the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swinging mode of the air circulation device in response to a trigger operation of the user on the operation panel; wherein, the air conditioner and the air circulation device are in the same space, the operation panel is a mechanical panel or a display interface in an application, and the operation panel is used to adjust the operating data of the air conditioner and / or the air circulation device, and the operating data includes an operating mode and / or operating parameters.

[0033] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a linkage control device for a device is provided, comprising: a processor and a memory for storing processor-executable instructions; wherein the processor is configured to: execute the linkage control method for the device provided by the first aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0034] According to a fourth aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the linkage control method of the device provided by the first aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure is implemented.

[0035] According to a fifth aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a computer program product is provided. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the linkage control method of the device provided by the first aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure is implemented.

[0053] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0054] It should be noted that all the actions of obtaining signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in accordance with the corresponding data protection regulations and policies of the country where the device is located, and with the authorization given by the corresponding device owner.

[0055] Figure 2 is a step flow chart of a linkage control method of a device according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The linkage control method of the device is used to control the linkage of the air conditioner and the air circulation device, and the linkage air flow management master program is installed in the cloud server. The linkage air flow management master program can be called by the air conditioner, the air circulation device, the terminal, the remote controller and other devices, so as to realize the linkage control of the air conditioner and the air circulation device. Of course, the linkage air flow master program can also be installed in the air conditioner, the air circulation device, the terminal, the remote controller and other devices, and called by the application program in these devices. The present disclosure does not limit this.

[0056] In some scenarios, taking the terminal control of the linkage of the air conditioner and the air circulation device as an example, please refer to Figure 1 The linkage air flow management master program is installed in the cloud server, and the linkage air flow management master program communicates with the air circulation device through WIFI (wireless) local area network or Bluetooth local area network and other wireless networks. The application program (App) is installed on the terminal, and the user can start the linkage air flow management master program through the application program in the terminal. After receiving the user instruction sent by the terminal, the linkage air flow management master program generates a linkage control instruction, which is sent to the air conditioner for execution on one hand, and is sent to the air circulation device for execution through the wireless network on the other hand.

[0057] In some scenarios, taking the terminal control of the linkage of the air conditioner and the air circulation device as an example, please refer to

[0058] In some scenarios, taking the terminal control of the linkage of the air conditioner and the air circulation device as an example, please refer to

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the linkage control method of the device includes the following steps.

[0060] In step S10 , in response to a trigger operation of the user on the operation panel, the sweeping mode of the air conditioner is controlled to be linked with the swing mode of the air circulation device.

[0061] In some possible implementations, in response to a user trigger operation on the operation panel, a user instruction corresponding to the trigger operation is sent to the linkage airflow management main control program, and the linkage airflow management main control program controls the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swinging mode of the air circulation device based on the user instruction.

[0062] The operation panel may be an operation panel on a terminal, air conditioner, air circulation equipment, remote controller or other equipment, and is used to adjust the operating data of the air conditioner and / or air circulation equipment, and the operating data includes operating mode and / or operating parameters.

[0063] The operating modes in the operating data of the air conditioner include air supply mode, air sweeping mode and temperature control and energy-saving mode.

[0064] Air supply modes refer to the interaction between the air conditioner's air supply and the user. Air supply modes include direct airflow and wind-sensing modes. In direct airflow mode, the air conditioner's air supply is directed toward the user. Wind-sensing modes improve user comfort by adjusting the air supply direction and intensity. Wind-sensing modes include skylight, carpet, surround, and non-direct airflow. Non-direct airflow modes include sleep, soft, and anti-direct airflow. In skylight, carpet, and non-direct airflow modes, the air supply is directed away from the user. Skylight mode directs air upward, dispersing the air at the top of the room before naturally descending, resulting in uniform cooling / heating throughout the room. Carpet mode directs air downward, directing air along the walls to the floor, where it then flows upward, resulting in uniform cooling / heating throughout the room. Typically, skylight mode is used for cooling, while carpet mode is used for heating. Sleep modes include Standard Sleep Mode and Lingyun Sleep Mode. In Surround Wind Mode, the airflow is directed around the user. In Soft Wind Mode, the airflow is soft and evenly distributed throughout the room, reducing the discomfort caused by direct airflow.

[0065] As for the wind sweeping mode, the wind sweeping mode includes the up and down wind sweeping mode and the left and right wind sweeping mode. In the up and down wind sweeping mode, the air supply direction of the air conditioner sweeps up and down; in the left and right wind sweeping mode, the air supply direction of the air conditioner sweeps left and right.

[0066] For the temperature control energy saving mode, it is used for controlling indoor temperature and ensuring air conditioner energy saving. The temperature control energy saving mode includes the cloud energy saving mode and the human sensing energy saving mode. In the cloud energy saving mode and the human sensing energy saving mode, the air conditioner can run in a low power consumption mode, which can realize energy saving while giving consideration to user experience.

[0067] The operation data of the air conditioner includes operation parameters such as air supply intensity, air supply direction, air conditioner output temperature, refrigeration or heating adjustment, and timing duration.

[0068] The operation data of the air circulation device includes operation modes such as natural wind mode, non-natural wind mode, swing mode, and fixed mode.

[0069] For the natural wind mode and the non-natural wind mode, the air circulation device outputs wind with soft intensity in the natural wind mode, and the air circulation device can adjust the wind intensity in real time in the non-natural wind mode.

[0070] For the swing mode, the swing mode includes the up-down swing mode and the left-right swing mode. In the left-right swing mode, the air supply direction of the air circulation device swings left and right. In the up-down swing mode, the air supply direction of the air circulation device swings up and down.

[0071] For the fixed mode, the fixed mode indicates that the air circulation device stops swinging after swinging a certain stroke. The fixed mode includes the upward fixed mode and the downward fixed mode. The upward fixed mode indicates that the air supply direction of the air circulation device swings upward and then fixes. The downward fixed mode indicates that the air supply direction of the air circulation device swings downward and then fixes. The swinging of the air supply direction of the air circulation device also refers to the swinging of the body of the air circulation device.

[0072] The operation data of the air circulation device includes operation parameters such as air supply intensity, air supply direction, and timing duration.

[0073] The operation panel can be a display interface in an application or a mechanical panel.

[0074] For example, if the operation panel is a display interface within an application, then the display interface can be the display interface of an application installed in a terminal, air conditioner, remote control, or air circulation device. By triggering one or more controls / entries / buttons on the display interface, the air conditioner's sweeping mode can be linked to the air circulation device's swinging mode. It is understood that the triggering operation performed on the application's operation panel may include, but is not limited to, a user triggering a control using a finger or a touch device (such as a stylus). For example, a user may perform a triggering operation using a finger gesture, such as a single click, a swipe, a drag, a pressure recognition gesture, a long press, a short press, an area change gesture, a double press, a double press, or a combination thereof. For another example, a user may perform a triggering operation using a touch device, such as a single click, a double press, or any number of clicks, or a long press or a short press.

[0075] For example, if the operating panel is a mechanical panel, then the mechanical panel can be a mechanical panel installed on an air conditioner, a remote control, or an air circulation device. By triggering one or more mechanical buttons on the mechanical panel, the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swinging mode of the air circulation device can be controlled to be linked.

[0076] An air conditioner, also known as an air conditioner, is an air conditioning device that regulates the temperature and humidity of a space. It has cooling, heating, dehumidification, ventilation, and air purification functions. The cooling function transfers indoor heat to the outside through the cooling system, lowering the temperature. The heating function transfers outdoor heat to the indoor space through the heating system, raising the temperature. The dehumidification function reduces humidity in the space, making the indoor environment more comfortable. The ventilation function draws outdoor air into the room and exhausts the air. The air purification function removes pollutants such as dust, pollen, and bacteria from the air.

[0077] Among them, the air circulation equipment can also be called a circulation fan, which is used to generate strong and stable airflow to promote indoor air circulation, thereby making the indoor air distribution more even.

[0078] In some possible implementations, the swing mode of the air circulation device may be adjusted in conjunction with the sweeping mode of the air conditioner in response to a trigger operation of the user on the operation panel.

[0079] The air conditioner and the air circulation device are located in the same space, which can be the same physical space, such as the same living area or office area. The same living area includes the same living room, the same bedroom, etc. When the air conditioner and the air circulation device are determined to be in the same space, the operating mode of the air circulation device can be adjusted in conjunction with the operating mode of the air conditioner. For example, if the operating mode of the air conditioner is the sweeping mode and the operating mode of the air circulation device is the swinging mode, when the air conditioner and the air circulation device are determined to be in the same space, the swinging mode of the air circulation device can be adjusted in conjunction with the sweeping mode of the air conditioner.

[0080] In some possible implementations, in the process of linking and controlling the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment, in addition to configuring the main control program for linking air flow management in the cloud server, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, you can also additionally configure a linkage mode selection module, a linkage air supply control module, a linkage temperature control module, a linkage control center, an air conditioning interaction module, an air circulation equipment interaction module, a linkage control center, an air conditioning linkage control module and an air circulation equipment linkage control module.

[0081] The linked airflow management master program implements the integrated linked airflow management between the air conditioner and the air circulation system. It retrieves the linked mode control parameters set in the linked mode selection module and sends them to the linked control center. These parameters indicate whether linked air supply mode or linked temperature control mode is selected.

[0082] The linkage mode selection module includes a linkage air supply control module and a linkage temperature control module. The linkage mode selection module is configured to respond to a user trigger operation to activate the linkage air supply control module and / or the linkage temperature control module. For example, if the user activates the linkage air supply control, the linkage air supply control module is activated, thereby providing the user with a linkage air supply mode between the air conditioner and the air circulation device; if the user activates the linkage temperature control control, the linkage temperature control module is activated, thereby providing the user with a linkage temperature control mode between the air conditioner and the air circulation device.

[0083] The linkage control center is the data exchange control center that processes and distributes data for the coordinated airflow management between air conditioners and air circulation equipment. The linkage control center includes an air conditioner interaction module and an air circulation equipment interaction module. The air conditioner interaction module is responsible for data exchange between the air conditioner linkage control module and the linkage control center, while the air circulation equipment interaction module is responsible for data exchange between the air circulation equipment control module and the linkage control center.

[0084] Among them, the linkage control network hub is used to obtain the data sent by the linkage control hub and execute the generated linkage control instructions, and send the linkage control instructions to the air conditioning linkage control module and the air circulation equipment linkage control module through wireless networks such as WIFI LAN or Bluetooth LAN.

[0085] Among them, the air conditioning linkage control module is the execution end of the linkage airflow management function, which is used to respond to the linkage control instructions to control the operation of the air conditioner.

[0086] Among them, the air circulation equipment linkage control module is also the execution end of the linkage airflow management function, which is used to respond to the linkage control instructions to control the operation of the air circulation equipment.

[0087] In some possible implementations, in the linked air supply mode, the air conditioner acts as the master device, and the air circulation device acts as the slave device. The air conditioner's sweeping mode actively changes to dynamically adjust the air circulation device's swinging mode. The control interaction process in the linked air supply mode includes the following steps:

[0088] (1) The air conditioning linkage control module transmits the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner to the linkage air supply control module through the air conditioning interaction module, the linkage control center, and the linkage mode selection module.

[0089] (2) If the user starts the sweep linkage control on the application, the application will call the linkage airflow management main control program, and the linkage airflow management main control program will then select "sweep linkage mode" from the three modes of "wind speed linkage mode", "sweep linkage mode" and "wind sense linkage mode" in the linkage air supply control module of the linkage mode selection module, thereby turning on the "sweep linkage mode".

[0090] (3) The linked air supply control module determines the swing mode of the air circulation equipment corresponding to the sweeping mode of the air conditioner.

[0091] (4) The linkage air supply control module transmits the swing mode of the air circulation equipment to the air circulation equipment linkage control module through the linkage mode selection module, the linkage control center, and the linkage control network center. The air circulation equipment linkage control module controls the air circulation equipment to execute according to the corresponding swing mode, thereby realizing the linkage between the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation equipment.

[0092] During operation, the air conditioner and air circulation equipment's linkage control module collects real-time air conditioning operation data and feeds it back to the air conditioner interaction module, which in turn feeds it back to the linkage control center. Similarly, the air circulation equipment linkage control module collects real-time circulation fan operation data and feeds it back to the air circulation equipment interaction module, which in turn feeds it back to the linkage control center. Based on this feedback, the linkage control center determines whether the air conditioner and air circulation equipment are operating as expected.

[0093] It is understandable that if the user does not start the "sweep air linkage control or linkage air supply control", it means that the air circulation device does not accept the linkage control of the sweep air mode of the air conditioner in real time operation. The air circulation device accepts the user's instructions issued by the user through the air circulation device application, the air circulation device remote control or the air circulation device body button to execute the swing mode indicated by the user instruction.

[0094] Through the above technical solution, in response to a user triggering operation on the operation panel, the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swinging mode of the air circulation device in the same space can be controlled to be linked. In this process, the linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation device can complement each other's shortcomings. After the air conditioner's sweeping mode changes, the swinging mode of the air circulation device also changes accordingly. The air supply output by the air circulation device can make up for the air conditioner's smaller air supply volume, thereby meeting the user's needs. The air conditioner can also regulate the indoor temperature and humidity, thereby compensating for the air circulation device's inability to regulate indoor temperature and humidity. Furthermore, the linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation device is only controlled when the air conditioner and the air circulation device are in the same space. This linkage adjusts the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swinging mode of the air circulation device in the same space. When the air conditioner and the air circulation device are linked in the same space, the linked air supply effect is better. In addition, the user can control the linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation device on the operation panel, without having to go to the location of the air conditioner or air circulation device to adjust the air supply mode linkage of the air conditioner or air circulation device, which brings convenience to the user.

[0095] Figures 4 to 6 It is a schematic diagram related to the exemplary embodiment involved in the present disclosure, which is used to explain that by triggering different controls and adopting different triggering methods to achieve various linkages between air conditioners and air circulation equipment, including the following various implementation methods.

[0096] In a first embodiment, the display interface includes an airflow management interface, and the airflow management interface includes a linked air supply control; in response to a triggering operation on the linked air supply control, the sweeping mode and the swinging mode can be controlled to be linked.

[0097] For example, the user may trigger the linkage air supply control to start, thereby starting the linkage between the sweeping mode and the swinging mode.

[0098] In one possible embodiment, in response to a deactivation of the linked air supply control, the sweep mode and the swing mode can be decoupled. When the sweep mode and the swing mode are decoupled, the sweep mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation device are independent of each other and can be independently controlled by the user.

[0099] In one possible implementation, see Figure 4 As shown, the airflow management interface also includes a linked temperature control control, and can also respond to the triggering operation of at least one target control among the linked temperature control control and the linked air supply control to control the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment to execute in the linked mode indicated by the at least one target control.

[0100] Among them, the linkage mode includes linkage air supply mode and linkage temperature control mode.

[0101] For the linked air supply mode, the linked air supply control is used to trigger the air conditioner and the air circulation device to be in the linked air supply mode. In the linked air supply mode, the air supply mode of the air conditioner is linked with the air supply mode of the air circulation device. The air supply mode of the air conditioner includes a first wind speed intensity, a sweeping mode and a wind sense mode, and the air supply mode of the air circulation device includes a second wind speed intensity, a swing mode and a freeze mode. The linked air supply modes between the air conditioner and the air circulation device include a wind speed linkage mode, a sweeping linkage mode and a wind sense linkage mode. The wind speed linkage mode indicates that the first air supply intensity of the air conditioner is linked with the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device, the sweeping linkage mode indicates that the sweeping mode of the air conditioner is linked with the swing mode of the air circulation device, and the wind sense linkage mode indicates that the wind sense mode of the air conditioner is linked with the freeze mode of the air circulation device.

[0102] For example, when the linked air supply control is triggered, the air conditioner and the air circulation device will be controlled to execute at least one of the wind speed linkage mode, the wind sweep linkage mode and the wind sense linkage mode.

[0103] For the linked temperature control mode, the linked temperature control control is used to trigger the air conditioner and the air circulation device to be in the linked temperature control mode. In the linked temperature control mode, the target internal ring temperature of the air conditioner is linked with the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device. The target internal ring temperature instructs the air conditioner to control the indoor temperature to reach the air conditioner set temperature with the target internal ring temperature as the target. The higher the target internal ring temperature, the slower the indoor temperature reaches the air conditioner set temperature. Conversely, the lower the target internal ring temperature, the faster the indoor temperature reaches the air conditioner set temperature. The linkage between the target internal ring temperature of the air conditioner and the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device includes: the correction temperature of the air conditioner is linked with the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device, and there is a corresponding relationship between the correction temperature of the air conditioner and the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device.

[0104] The target internal temperature of the air conditioner is obtained based on the air conditioner set temperature and the correction temperature. The air conditioner set temperature is the desired indoor temperature set by the user, and the correction temperature is obtained based on the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device. The higher the correction temperature and the air conditioner set temperature, the higher the target internal temperature. Figure 5 As shown, the display interface also includes Figure 5 The setting interface shown in the figure also includes a linkage temperature control setting interface, which is used to display the corresponding relationship between the corrected temperature and the second air supply intensity. It can be represented by a curve graph or in the form of a key-value pair, and of course it can also be displayed in other forms.

[0105] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, taking the linkage temperature control setting interface as an example, the horizontal axis of the graph is the second air supply intensity, and the vertical axis is the corrected temperature. The user can adjust the corrected temperature corresponding to any second air supply intensity on the graph. After the corrected temperature is adjusted, the target internal temperature of the air conditioner will also change accordingly; after setting the corrected temperature, return to the air flow management interface shown in 4. After the user starts the linkage temperature control control in the air flow management interface, the correction temperature of the air conditioner and the second air supply intensity of the air circulation equipment can be controlled according to Figure 5 The corresponding relationship shown in the curve diagram is operated, after the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device changes, based on Figure 5 The corresponding corrected temperature is obtained by querying the curve graph shown, and the target internal ring temperature of the air conditioner is calculated based on the corrected temperature obtained by query, so as to realize the linkage between the target internal ring temperature and the second air supply intensity.

[0106] Through the first implementation method, the user can directly trigger the linkage air supply control to start in the airflow management interface, and then start the linkage between the sweeping mode and the swinging mode; the user can also trigger the linkage temperature control control to start in the airflow management interface, thereby starting the linkage between the target internal temperature of the air conditioner and the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device; of course, the user can directly trigger the linkage air supply control and the linkage temperature control to start at the same time in the airflow management interface, thereby controlling the linkage between the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swinging mode of the air circulation device, and can also adjust the target internal temperature of the air conditioner in a linkage manner according to the second air supply intensity output by the air circulation device.

[0107] In a second embodiment, the display interface further includes a setting interface, and the setting interface includes a wind sweeping linkage control; and when the wind sweeping linkage control is triggered, the wind sweeping mode and the swinging mode can be controlled to be linked in response to the triggering operation of the wind sweeping linkage control.

[0108] For example, the user can click Figure 4 The airflow management interface settings control enters Figure 5 Click on the setup interface shown, then click on the wind sweep linkage control, and then return to Figure 4 The air flow management interface shown activates the linked air supply control, thereby activating the linkage between the sweep mode and the swing mode.

[0109] The airflow management interface includes a setting control that is linked to Figure 5 The setting interface shown provides an adjustment interface for the linked air supply mode and the linked temperature control mode.

[0110] In a possible implementation, in response to a closing operation on the linked air supply control, the sweeping mode and the swinging mode may be controlled to stop being linked, and the sweeping linkage control in the control setting interface may be closed.

[0111] In a possible embodiment, the setting interface includes, in addition to the wind sweep linkage control, a wind speed linkage control and a wind sense linkage control; when at least one target control among the wind speed linkage control, the wind sweep linkage control and the wind sense linkage control in the setting interface is triggered, it can also respond to the triggering operation of the linkage air supply control to control the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment to execute in accordance with the linkage mode indicated by the at least one target control.

[0112] The purge linkage control is used to trigger the air conditioner and air circulation equipment into purge linkage mode. In purge linkage mode, the air conditioner's purge mode is linked to the air circulation equipment's swing mode. The air conditioner's purge mode includes up-and-down purge mode and left-and-right purge mode, while the air circulation equipment's swing mode includes up-and-down swing mode and left-and-right swing mode. The purge range indicated by the air conditioner's purge mode is the same as the purge range indicated by the air circulation equipment's swing mode.

[0113] There is a corresponding relationship between the wind sweeping mode and the swinging mode.

[0114] For example, when the air conditioner's sweep mode is the up-and-down sweep mode, the corresponding air circulation device's swing mode is the up-and-down swing mode. When the sweep linkage control and / or the linked air supply control are triggered and turned on, the air conditioner and the air circulation device activate the sweep linkage mode. In the sweep linkage mode, if the air conditioner activates the up-and-down sweep mode, the air circulation device will simultaneously activate the up-and-down swing mode; if the air conditioner deactivates the up-and-down sweep mode, the air circulation device will simultaneously deactivate the up-and-down swing mode. After the sweep linkage control is triggered, when the air conditioner's sweep mode is the up-and-down sweep mode, it indicates that the users in the room are vertically distributed in front of the air conditioner. The users expect the air conditioner to sweep back and forth over the multiple users in the vertical distribution by sweeping up and down, so as to simultaneously take into account the air conditioning experience of multiple users. In this case, the swing mode of the air circulation device can be controlled to also be the up-and-down swing mode. The up-and-down swing of the air circulation device can then expand the up-and-down sweep range of the conditioned air output by the air conditioner. In this case, the sweep range of both the air conditioner and the air circulation device is the up-and-down sweep range, thereby expanding the up-and-down sweep range of the conditioned air to meet the user's usage needs.

[0115] For example, when the air conditioner's sweep mode is the left-right sweep mode, the corresponding air circulation device's swing mode is the left-right swing mode. When the sweep linkage control and / or the linked air supply control are triggered and turned on, the air conditioner and the air circulation device activate the sweep linkage mode. In the sweep linkage mode, if the air conditioner activates the left-right sweep mode, the air circulation device will simultaneously activate the left-right swing mode; if the air conditioner deactivates the left-right sweep mode, the air circulation device will simultaneously deactivate the left-right swing mode. When the air conditioner's sweep mode is the left-right sweep mode, it means that the users in the room are horizontally distributed in front of the air conditioner. The users expect the air conditioner to sweep back and forth over the multiple users in the horizontal distribution by sweeping left and right, so as to simultaneously take into account the blowing experience of multiple users. In this case, the swing mode of the air circulation device can be controlled to be the left-right swing mode. Then, the left-right swing of the air circulation device can make the left-right sweep range of the conditioned air output by the air conditioner larger. In this case, the sweep range of the air conditioner and the air circulation device are both the left-right sweep range, thereby expanding the left-right sweep range of the conditioned air to meet the user's usage needs.

[0116] The wind speed linkage control is used to trigger the air conditioner and air circulation device to enter wind speed linkage mode. In wind speed linkage mode, the air conditioner's first air supply intensity is linked to the air circulation device's second air supply intensity. Both the air conditioner's first air supply intensity and the air circulation device's second air supply intensity can be reflected by the wind speed level, and the air conditioner's first air supply intensity and the air circulation device's second air supply intensity are positively correlated.

[0117] For example, after the wind speed linkage control is triggered, if the air conditioner's first air supply intensity increases, the air circulation device's second air supply intensity will be controlled to increase. When the air conditioner's first air supply intensity increases, it indicates that the user desires a higher air supply intensity to quickly cool the indoor air. In this case, the air circulation device's second air supply intensity can be controlled to increase accordingly, providing the user with a higher air supply intensity to meet the user's rapid cooling needs. Conversely, when the air conditioner's first air supply intensity decreases, it indicates that the user desires a lower air supply intensity. Therefore, the air circulation device's second air supply intensity can be controlled to decrease accordingly, providing the user with a lower air supply intensity.

[0118] The wind-sensing linkage control is used to trigger the air conditioner and air circulation device to enter wind-sensing linkage mode. In wind-sensing linkage mode, the air conditioner's wind-sensing mode is linked to the air circulation device's freeze mode. When controlling the air conditioner's wind-sensing mode and the air circulation device's freeze mode to be linked, the air supply direction indicated by the air circulation device's freeze mode can be controlled to be the same as the air supply direction indicated by the air conditioner's wind-sensing mode, both upward or both downward.

[0119] For example, after the wind sensing linkage control is triggered and started, if the wind sensing mode of the air conditioner is the skylight wind mode, surround wind mode, sleep mode, soft wind mode and anti-direct blowing mode, and the air supply direction of the air conditioner is upward, the air circulation device can be controlled to be in the upward fixed mode, so that the air supply direction of the air circulation device is also upward; if the wind sensing mode of the air conditioner is the carpet wind mode, and the air supply direction of the air conditioner is downward, the air circulation device can be controlled to be in the downward fixed mode, so that the air supply direction of the air circulation device is also downward.

[0120] The following will introduce Figure 5 When at least one of the wind speed linkage control, wind sweep linkage control, and wind sense linkage control is triggered, the linkage air supply control and the linkage temperature control control are triggered.

[0121] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, if the user Figure 5 In the setting interface shown, the wind speed linkage control and the wind sweep linkage control are activated, and then return to Figure 4After the air flow management interface shown starts the linked air supply control and the linked temperature control control, the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment will be controlled to execute the following three linkage modes: First, in the wind speed linkage mode, the second air supply intensity of the air circulation equipment is dynamically adjusted according to the first air supply intensity of the air conditioner; second, in the sweep linkage mode, the swing mode of the air circulation equipment is dynamically adjusted according to the sweep mode of the air conditioner; third, in the linked temperature control mode, the target internal temperature of the air conditioner is dynamically adjusted according to the second air supply intensity of the air circulation equipment.

[0122] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, if the user Figure 5 In the setting interface shown, the wind speed linkage control and wind sense linkage control are activated, and then return to Figure 4 After the air flow management interface shown starts the linked air supply control and the linked temperature control control, the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment will be controlled to execute the following three linkage modes: First, in the wind speed linkage mode, the second air supply intensity of the air circulation equipment is dynamically adjusted according to the first air supply intensity of the air conditioner; second, in the wind sense linkage mode, the freeze mode of the air circulation equipment is dynamically adjusted according to the wind sense mode of the air conditioner; third, in the linked temperature control mode, the target internal temperature of the air conditioner is dynamically adjusted according to the second air supply intensity of the air circulation equipment.

[0123] Of course, in response to the deactivation of the linked air supply control, at least one activated target control among the wind speed linkage control, the sweep linkage control, and the wind sense linkage control can be deactivated, and the air conditioner and the air circulation device can be controlled to stop executing the linkage mode indicated by the target control. After the wind speed linkage control is deactivated, the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device is no longer linked to the first air supply intensity of the air conditioner, but can receive user commands issued by the user via an application, a remote controller, or the air conditioner body, thereby adjusting the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device based on the user commands. After the sweep linkage control is deactivated, the swing mode of the air circulation device is no longer linked to the sweep mode of the air conditioner, but can receive user commands issued by the user via an application, a remote controller, or the air conditioner body, thereby adjusting the swing mode of the air circulation device based on the user commands. After the wind sense linkage control is deactivated, the freeze mode of the air circulation device is no longer linked to the wind sense mode of the air conditioner, but can receive user commands issued by the user via an application, a remote controller, or the air conditioner body, thereby adjusting the freeze mode of the air circulation device based on the user commands.

[0124] Through the second implementation method, after the user triggers at least one target control among the wind sense linkage control, wind speed linkage control and wind sweep linkage control in the setting interface, and then returns to the air flow management interface to trigger the linkage air supply control to start, the air conditioner and air circulation equipment can be controlled to be linked according to the linkage mode indicated by at least one target control.

[0125] In a third embodiment, the display interface further includes an airflow management interface, which includes a sweep linkage control; and can also control the sweep mode to be linked with the swing mode in response to a triggering operation on the sweep linkage control.

[0126] For example, the user can click Figure 6 The sweep linkage control in the air flow management interface shown in the figure starts the linkage between the sweep mode and the swing mode.

[0127] In a possible implementation, the sweeping mode and the swinging mode may be controlled to stop being linked in response to a closing operation on the sweeping linkage control.

[0128] In a possible embodiment, the airflow management interface also includes a wind speed linkage control, a wind sense linkage control and a linkage temperature control control. When at least one target control among the wind speed linkage control, the wind sweep linkage control, the wind sense linkage control and the linkage temperature control control in the airflow management interface is triggered, the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment are controlled to execute according to the linkage mode indicated by the at least one target control.

[0129] For example, see Figure 6 As shown, the wind speed linkage control, wind sweep linkage control, wind sense linkage control and linkage temperature control control are displayed in the air flow management interface. The user can trigger and start at least one of the target controls to control the air conditioner and air circulation equipment to execute the corresponding linkage mode.

[0130] Through the third implementation method, after the user starts at least one target control among the wind sense linkage control, wind speed linkage control, wind sweep linkage control and linkage temperature control control in the airflow management interface, the air conditioner and air circulation equipment can be controlled to link according to the linkage mode indicated by the target control.

[0131] Through the above technical solution, users can Figure 4 In the air flow management interface shown, at least one target control in the linked air supply control and the linked temperature control control is triggered to start, or Figure 5 In the setting interface shown, at least one target control among the wind speed linkage control, wind sweep linkage control and wind sense linkage control is triggered to start, or Figure 6 The airflow management interface shown triggers at least one target control among the wind speed linkage control, the wind sweep linkage control and the wind sense linkage control to be started, which provides a variety of diversified operations for triggering the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment to enter the corresponding linkage mode.

[0132] The following introduces exemplary embodiments related to the present disclosure, which are used to explain an exemplary scheme of the linkage between the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swing mode of the air circulation device.

[0133] The swing mode of the air circulation device includes a dynamic mode and a static mode. The dynamic mode indicates that the air circulation device is in a swinging state, and the static mode indicates that the air circulation device is in a fixed state after swinging.

[0134] For the dynamic mode of the air circulation device, the dynamic mode of the air circulation device includes an up and down swing mode and a left and right swing mode. The maximum swing stroke of the up and down swing mode and the left and right swing mode is a preset first swing stroke or a second swing stroke configured by the user, and the second swing stroke is less than or equal to the first swing stroke.

[0135] The swing range can be expressed in angles, grids, and other ways. The swing range of the air circulation device can be divided into different angles or grids. For example, if the swing range is expressed in angles, when the air circulation device is in up-and-down swing mode or left-and-right swing mode, the air circulation device can be controlled to operate at the default maximum swing angle or the maximum swing angle set by the user.

[0136] The air sweeping range of the air circulation device in the up-and-down swing mode is smaller than the air sweeping range of the air circulation device in the left-and-right swing mode.

[0137] For example, taking the sweep range as an angle range, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the sweeping range of the air circulation device in the up and down swing mode is -45°~90°; the angle range of the air circulation device in the left and right swing mode is 0°~150°.

[0138] The static modes of the air circulation device include an upward fixed mode, a downward fixed mode, a left fixed mode, and a right fixed mode. The upward fixed mode indicates that the air circulation device is supplied with air in an upward direction when the air circulation device is fixed after swinging up and down; the downward fixed mode indicates that the air circulation device is supplied with air in a downward direction when the air circulation device is fixed after swinging up and down; the left fixed mode indicates that the air circulation device is supplied with air in a leftward direction when the air circulation device is fixed after swinging left and right; and the right fixed mode indicates that the air circulation device is supplied with air in a rightward direction when the air circulation device is fixed after swinging left and right.

[0139] The air-sweeping mode of the air conditioner also includes a dynamic mode and a static mode. The dynamic mode indicates that the air conditioner is in the air-sweeping state, and the static mode indicates that the air conditioner is in the fixed state after the air is swept.

[0140] As for the dynamic mode of the air conditioner, the dynamic mode of the air conditioner includes the up and down sweeping mode and the left and right sweeping mode. The maximum swing stroke of the up and down sweeping mode and the left and right wind mode is the preset third swing stroke or the fourth swing stroke configured by the user. The fourth swing stroke is less than or equal to the third swing stroke.

[0141] The air conditioner's static modes include upward, downward, left, and right. The upward mode indicates that when the air conditioner is held in an upward motion after swinging up and down, the air is blown in an upward direction; the downward mode indicates that when the air conditioner is held in an upward and downward motion after swinging up and down, the air is blown in a downward direction; the left mode indicates that when the air conditioner is held in a leftward and rightward motion after swinging left and right, the air is blown in a leftward direction; and the right mode indicates that when the air conditioner is held in a rightward and leftward motion after swinging left and right, the air is blown in a rightward direction.

[0142] In a possible implementation, the sweep range indicated by the air conditioner in the dynamic mode is the same as the sweep range indicated by the air circulation device in the dynamic mode.

[0143] For example, if the dynamic mode of the air conditioner is the up and down sweeping mode, and the dynamic mode of the air circulation device is the up and down swinging mode, the sweeping range of both is the up and down sweeping range; if the dynamic mode of the air conditioner is the left and right sweeping mode, and the dynamic mode of the air circulation device is the left and right swinging mode, the sweeping range of both is the left and right sweeping range.

[0144] In a possible implementation, the air supply direction indicated by the air conditioner in the static mode is the same as the air supply direction indicated by the air circulation in the static mode.

[0145] For example, if the static mode of the air conditioner is the upward freeze mode, the static mode of the air circulation device can be controlled to be the upward freeze mode, and the air supply direction of both is upward; if the static mode of the air conditioner is the downward freeze mode, the static mode of the air circulation device can be controlled to be the downward freeze mode, and the air supply direction of both is downward; if the static mode of the air conditioner is the left freeze mode, the static mode of the air circulation device can be controlled to be the left freeze mode, and the air supply direction of both is left; if the static mode of the air conditioner is the right freeze mode, the static mode of the air circulation device can be controlled to be the right freeze mode, and the air supply direction of both is right.

[0146] Through the above technical solution, in the scenario where the sweeping mode of the air conditioner is linked with the swinging mode of the air circulation device, on the one hand, the sweeping range indicated by the sweeping mode of the air conditioner is controlled to be the same as the sweeping range indicated by the sweeping mode of the air circulation device, for example, both are left and right sweeping or up and down sweeping, so that the air conditioner and the air circulation device can cooperate to expand the sweeping range to meet the user's larger sweeping range requirements; on the other hand, the air supply direction of the air conditioner when it is fixed after sweeping can be controlled to be the same as the air supply direction of the air circulation device when it is fixed after sweeping, so that the wind output by the air conditioner and the air circulation device can be directed towards or avoid the user at the same time to meet the user's needs of wind blowing on people or wind avoiding people.

[0147] Figure 9This is an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which is used to explain an exemplary solution after receiving a user instruction during the linkage between the sweeping mode of the air conditioner and the swinging mode of the air circulation device, including the following steps:

[0148] In step S20 , in the process of controlling the sweeping mode and the swinging mode to be linked, in response to receiving a user instruction, the air circulation device is controlled to execute in the target swinging mode indicated by the user instruction.

[0149] User commands are used to indicate the target swing pattern to be executed by the air circulation device. User commands can be triggered by the user through the air circulation device's app (application), remote control, or on-device control buttons. If the control panel of the air circulation device is the display interface of an application installed in the air circulation device, the user command can be triggered from that display interface; if the control panel of the air circulation device is the mechanical panel of the air circulation device, the user command can be triggered from the mechanical panel's on-device control buttons.

[0150] In one possible embodiment, during the process of adjusting the swing mode according to the sweeping mode within the sweeping linkage cycle, if no user instruction is received, the air circulation device will continue to be controlled to execute the swing mode corresponding to the sweeping mode of the air conditioner at the starting time point of the sweeping linkage cycle.

[0151] In one possible embodiment, during the process of adjusting the swing mode according to the sweeping mode within the sweeping linkage cycle, if a user instruction is received, the air circulation device is controlled to execute the target swing mode indicated by the user instruction until the end time point of the sweeping linkage cycle is reached, which is also the time point when the changed sweeping mode is received.

[0152] The single air sweep linkage period is a period during which the air sweep mode of the air conditioner changes, and the air sweep linkage periods may be equal or unequal, which is not limited here.

[0153] For example, taking the air-conditioning sweeping mode including the up-down sweeping mode and the left-right sweeping mode as an example, the time it takes for the air-conditioning to switch from the up-down sweeping mode to the left-right sweeping mode is one sweeping linkage cycle, and the time it takes for the air-conditioning to switch from the left-right sweeping mode to the up-down sweeping mode is another sweeping linkage cycle. The length of each sweeping linkage cycle is determined according to the change of the sweeping mode.

[0154] Among them, a single air sweep linkage cycle can also be a cycle in which the air sweep mode of the air conditioner is switched from the on state to the off state, and each air sweep linkage cycle can be equal or unequal, which is not limited here.

[0155] For example, taking the air conditioner's wind sensing mode including the up and down sweeping mode as an example, the time from when the up and down sweeping mode of the air conditioner is turned on to when it is turned off is the sweeping linkage cycle.

[0156] Among them, the change of the air sweeping mode of the air conditioner can be triggered by the user through the air conditioner App, the air conditioner remote control or the air conditioner body control button, or it can be automatically triggered by the air conditioner based on the air conditioning mode.

[0157] In some scenarios, after the user turns on the air conditioner's up and down sweep mode via the air conditioner's remote control, the linked airflow management main control program will control the air circulation device to execute the up and down swing mode. If the user controls the air conditioner to turn off the up and down sweep mode via the air conditioner's remote control, the linked airflow management main control program will control the air circulation device to stop executing the up and down swing mode. In this scenario, the cycle in which the air conditioner's up and down sweep mode switches from the running state to the off state is a single sweep linkage cycle. During the sweep linkage cycle of the air conditioner, if no user instruction is received from the user via the air circulation device's remote control, the air circulation device will be controlled to continue executing the up and down swing mode until the sweep linkage cycle ends. If a user instruction is received from the user via the air circulation device's remote control / body or App to trigger the air circulation device to execute the left and right swing mode, the air circulation device will be controlled to switch from the up and down swing mode to the left and right swing mode until the sweep linkage cycle ends.

[0158] In one possible embodiment, after the user turns on the linkage air supply control to start the linkage air supply control module, the air conditioning linkage control module will read the air conditioning's sweeping mode in real time, and transmit the air conditioning's sweeping mode to the linkage air supply control module in real time through the air conditioning interaction module, the linkage control center, and the linkage mode selection module, so that the linkage air supply control module can obtain the air conditioning's sweeping mode in real time; the linkage air supply module then determines the swinging mode that the air circulation device should execute at this time based on the mapping relationship between the air conditioning's sweeping mode and the swinging mode of the air circulation device, and encapsulates the swinging mode that the air circulation device should execute at this time in the linkage control instruction, which is sent to the air circulation device through the linkage mode selection module, the linkage control center, the linkage control network center, and the air circulation device linkage control module. During this process, if the sweeping mode that the air circulation device should execute in the linkage control instruction received by the air circulation device changes, it means that the current sweeping linkage cycle has ended and entered the next sweeping linkage cycle. Therefore, before the wind sweeping mode executed in the linkage control instruction received by the air circulation device changes, if a user instruction is received, the air circulation device is controlled to execute according to the target swing mode indicated by the user instruction until the linkage control instruction after the wind sweeping mode changes is received, and the next wind sweeping linkage cycle is entered.

[0159] In step S30 , in response to the change in the sweeping mode of the air conditioner, the air circulation device is controlled to switch from the target swing mode to a swing mode corresponding to the changed sweeping mode.

[0160] In one possible implementation, if the sweeping mode of the air conditioner changes, it indicates that the end time point of the sweeping linkage cycle has been reached. At this time, the air circulation device can be controlled to switch from the target swing mode indicated by the user instruction to the swing mode corresponding to the changed sweeping mode.

[0161] The change in the sweep mode of the air conditioner includes switching the air conditioner from one sweep mode to another, or switching the sweep mode of the air conditioner from an on state to an off state. When the air conditioner switches from one sweep mode to another, the air circulation device is controlled to execute the swing mode corresponding to the other sweep mode; when the sweep mode of the air conditioner switches from an on state to an off state, the swing mode of the air circulation device is controlled to switch from an on state to an off state.

[0162] For example, during the wind sweeping linkage period in which the air conditioner's wind sweeping mode switches from the up-down wind sweeping mode to the left-right wind sweeping mode, the air conditioner is in the up-down wind sweeping mode and the corresponding air circulation device is in the up-down swinging mode, thereby ensuring the wind sweeping linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation device; during this wind sweeping linkage period, if the user controls the air circulation device to be in the left-right swinging mode through the remote control, the air circulation device will be controlled to be in the left-right swinging mode first, thereby ensuring the user's real-time needs; when the air conditioner's wind sweeping mode has switched from the up-down wind sweeping mode to the left-right wind sweeping mode, the above-mentioned wind sweeping linkage period ends, and at this time the air circulation device can be controlled to execute the left-right swinging mode corresponding to the left-right wind sweeping mode.

[0163] For example, during the sweep linkage cycle when the air conditioner's sweep mode changes from the on state to the off state, the air conditioner is in the up and down sweep mode and the corresponding air circulation equipment is in the up and down swing mode, thereby ensuring the sweep linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment; during this sweep linkage cycle, if the user controls the air circulation equipment to be in the left and right swing mode through the remote control, the air circulation equipment will be controlled to execute the left and right swing mode first, thereby ensuring the user's real-time needs; when the air conditioner's sweep mode has been switched to the off state, the above-mentioned sweep linkage cycle ends, and at this time the air circulation equipment can also be controlled to exit the left and right swing mode and stop swinging left and right.

[0164] It can be understood that the wind sweeping linkage scenario between the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment can be applied in each wind sweeping linkage cycle. If a user instruction is received in each wind sweeping linkage cycle, the air circulation equipment will be controlled to execute the target swing mode indicated by the user instruction until the wind sweeping linkage cycle ends or until the wind sweeping mode of the air conditioner changes.

[0165] By the technical solution, in a first aspect, in the process of adjusting the swing mode according to the linkage of the swing mode, if a user instruction is received, the air circulation device is controlled to execute the target swing mode indicated by the user instruction, so that the user control is prioritized when facing the automatic linkage control and user control of the system, and the user experience is improved. In a second aspect, after the swing mode of the air conditioner changes, it indicates that the user adjusts the swing mode of the air conditioner, and the user demand changes. Therefore, the air circulation device can be controlled to switch from the target swing mode indicated by the previous user instruction to the swing mode corresponding to the changed swing mode, or the air circulation device can be controlled to exit the swing mode, so as to better meet the real-time demand changes of the user.

[0166] Figure 10 is an exemplary embodiment related to the present disclosure, which is used to interpret the exemplary scheme under the condition that the swing linkage control and the wind speed linkage control are simultaneously opened, including the following steps:

[0167] In step S40, under the condition that the swing linkage control and the wind speed linkage control are simultaneously opened, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the target air supply intensity.

[0168] The first air supply intensity of the air conditioner and the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device have a corresponding relationship. Under the condition that the swing linkage control and the wind speed linkage control are simultaneously opened, the air conditioner and the air circulation device execute the swing linkage mode, and at the same time, the wind speed linkage mode is executed. At this time, the air supply intensity executed by the air circulation device in the wind speed linkage mode is the target air supply intensity, and the target air supply intensity is less than the second air supply intensity.

[0169] For example, if the first air supply intensity 2 of the air conditioner corresponds to the 4 air supply intensity of the air circulation device, when the swing linkage control is opened alone, if the first air supply intensity of the air conditioner is 2, the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device is controlled to be 4. When the wind speed linkage control and the swing linkage control are simultaneously triggered and started, if the first air supply intensity of the air conditioner is 2, the target air supply intensity output by the air circulation device is less than 4, for example, 3, and the swing mode of the air conditioner is linked with the swing mode of the air circulation device.

[0170] In a possible implementation, the second air supply intensity is modified according to a correction coefficient to obtain the target air supply intensity.

[0171] The correction coefficient is less than 1. The product of the correction coefficient and the second air supply intensity can be used as the target air supply intensity. The range of the correction coefficient is between 0.5 and 0.8.

[0172] For example, taking the correction coefficient of 0.5 as an example, if the first air supply intensity is level 2 and the corresponding second air supply intensity is level 4, when the wind speed linkage control and the sweep linkage control are triggered and started at the same time, the correction coefficient of 0.5 can be used to correct the second air supply intensity of level 4, and the target air supply intensity finally executed by the air circulation equipment is level 2.

[0173] It is understandable that when the wind speed linkage control and the sweep linkage control are turned on at the same time, the air conditioner and the air circulation device will be triggered to execute the wind speed linkage mode and the sweep linkage mode at the same time. Since the air circulation device will accelerate the indoor air circulation by swinging left and right or up and down in the sweep linkage mode, which brings a better cooling experience to the user, it brings a part of the air supply intensity, so even if a lower air supply intensity is used to output the circulating air, the user's cooling experience will not be reduced. Therefore, when the wind speed linkage control and the sweep linkage control are turned on at the same time, the second air supply intensity of the air circulation device can be corrected by using a correction coefficient, so that the target air supply intensity of the corrected air circulation device is lower than the second air supply intensity before the correction. The lower target air supply intensity is combined with the air supply intensity brought by the sweep linkage, and the air supply intensity finally delivered to the user remains basically unchanged, while ensuring the user's cooling experience and reducing energy loss.

[0174] Figure 11 and Figure 12 This is an exemplary embodiment involved in the present disclosure, which is used to explain an exemplary solution for controlling the linkage between air conditioners and air circulation equipment in the same network or different networks, including the following steps.

[0175] In a possible implementation, when the air conditioner and the air circulation device are both connected to a network, the sweeping mode and the swinging mode are controlled to be linked in response to a trigger operation on the operation panel by a user.

[0176] Among them, there are two situations in which both the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment are connected to the network. First, the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment are in the same network and communicate through the network; second, the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment are in different networks and communicate through different networks.

[0177] Before the application displays the Airflow Management screen, it also displays the Network Selection screen, see Figure 12As shown, the network selection interface provides a configuration interface for the network name (e.g., Wi-Fi name in the IoT context) and network password (e.g., Wi-Fi password) of the selected air conditioner or air circulation device. Users can configure networks for air conditioners and air circulation devices on the network selection interface. For example, if the air conditioners and air circulation devices in the same space can be connected to the same network or to different networks, the air conditioners and air circulation devices in the same space can then communicate using the same or different networks, thereby achieving linkage based on this communication connection.

[0178] Optionally, a device search screen will be displayed before the network selection screen. Figure 11 As shown, the device search interface displays devices in multiple spaces, which can be air conditioners or air circulation devices; in response to the user's triggering operation on the target device among the multiple devices, the network selection interface is entered, and in response to the triggering operation on the network name in the network selection interface, the target network name is selected; in response to the setting operation on the network password in the network selection interface, the configuration of the network password is completed, thus completing the configuration of the network name and network password for the target device. In the case that there are two target devices with the same network name and network password among the multiple target devices that have been configured, it means that the two target devices are in the same network, then the two target devices can establish a network connection to achieve linkage. Of course, two target devices in different networks can also achieve linkage.

[0179] For example, in the application display Figure 11 After the device search interface is displayed, Figure 11 The device search interface shown shows air conditioners A to E and air circulation devices A to E. If the user selects air conditioner A, the user will enter Figure 12 The network selection interface of the user configures the network name and network password for air conditioner A; then return to Figure 11 The device search interface shown in the figure, the user selects air circulation device A and then enters Figure 12 The network selection interface appears, and the user configures a network name and password for air circulation device A. After configuring the network for air conditioner A and air circulation device A, if the user configures the same network name and password for both, they can belong to the same network. If the user configures different network names and passwords for both, they belong to different networks.

[0180] Through the above technical solution, the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment can be equipped with the same network or different networks, so that the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment can communicate using the same network or different networks, and on the basis of achieving communication, the operating parameters and / or operating modes of the two can be exchanged, thereby realizing wind sensing linkage between the air conditioner and the air circulation equipment.
