[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific operation methods in the method embodiments can also be applied to the device embodiments or system embodiments. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, "at least one" includes one or more. "Multiple" refers to two or more. For example, at least one of A, B, and C includes: A existing alone, B existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, A and C existing simultaneously, B and C existing simultaneously, and A, B, and C existing simultaneously. In the present invention, " / " means "or". For example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone.

[0057] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.

[0058] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, this solution provides a button control system for an air conditioner, including: a control chip 10, an on / off module 20, and a button 30; the on / off module 20 is connected to the control chip 10 and the button 30 respectively, and is used to adjust the on and off states of the button 30; wherein, the on / off module 20 is connected to the first control port and the second control port of the control chip 10 respectively; the first control port is used to control the first trigger mode of the button 30; the second control port is used to control the second trigger mode of the button 30; the trigger duration of the button 30 in the first trigger mode is less than the trigger duration of the button 30 in the second trigger mode.

[0059] It should be noted that air conditioners produce condensation during summer operation, which may cause button 30 to malfunction and lead to accidental activation, affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner. For example, accidental activation may cause the air conditioner to switch to cooling or heating modes or change operating parameters, seriously affecting the user experience and making it difficult to detect the problem.

[0060] Furthermore, by setting two different trigger modes for the same button 30, namely a first trigger mode and a second trigger mode, the present invention ensures the functionality of the button 30 while setting an on / off module 20 that can adjust the on and off states of the button 30. Combined with the acquisition of corresponding parameters, the on and off states of the button 30 are controlled. This prevents the button 30 from being accidentally touched due to moisture caused by condensation, while ensuring the functionality of the button 30 and guaranteeing the user experience.

[0061] Understandably, the first trigger mode of the present invention is a short press mode, the second trigger mode is a long press mode, and the button 30 has different functions depending on the trigger duration.

[0062] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this solution provides a control method for the above-mentioned button control system for an air conditioner, including:

[0063] Based on the trigger signal of button 30, obtain the first instantaneous trigger duration of button 30;

[0064] Based on the first instant trigger duration meeting the preset trigger conditions, a control strategy is generated to adjust the working state of button 30.

[0065] Based on the control strategy and the on / off module 20, the working state of the button 30 is adjusted in the first trigger mode and / or the second trigger mode. The working state includes the on state and the off state of the button 30.

[0066] It should be noted that by acquiring the duration of button 30's triggering, this invention can determine whether button 30 is being accidentally touched while judging the triggering mode of button 30, and then adjust the relevant operating state of button 30. For example, when button 30 is being accidentally touched, the button 30 in the conducting state is switched to the disconnected state to avoid the continuous occurrence of accidental touches of button 30, thereby affecting the user experience.

[0067] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, a control strategy for adjusting the working state of the button 30 is generated based on the first instantaneous trigger duration satisfying a preset trigger condition, specifically including:

[0068] If the trigger duration of button 30 is less than the first preset duration, button 30 is determined to be in the first trigger mode, and the ambient humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained.

[0069] Based on the fact that the humidity value of the ambient humidity indicator is greater than the preset ambient humidity threshold, the modal features of the touch area of ​​button 30 are obtained;

[0070] If the preset humidity threshold of button 30 is met in the touch area of ​​the modal feature identifier, it is determined that button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state, and the first trigger mode is switched from the on state to the off state.

[0071] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for generating the working state of the adjustment button 30. The triggering mode of the button 30 is determined by the triggering duration of the button 30 and the first preset duration. When the triggering mode of the button 30 is the first triggering mode, the ambient humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained. When the ambient humidity is high, condensation is likely to occur, which may cause the button 30 to be accidentally touched.

[0072] Furthermore, when the ambient humidity is high, the modal characteristics of the touch area of ​​button 30 are acquired. The modal characteristics include the humidity and operation traces of the touch area of ​​button 30, which can be acquired by embedding a sensor in the touch area.

[0073] Furthermore, by identifying relevant parameters of button 30 during the pressing process through modal feature identification, such as the preset humidity threshold of button 30, if the touch area of ​​modal feature identification meets the preset humidity threshold of button 30, it is determined that button 30 is in a damp state, and button 30 is switched from the conducting state to the disconnected state.

[0074] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, when the modal feature identification touch area meets a preset humidity threshold for the button 30, it is determined that the button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state. Specifically, this includes:

[0075] Based on modal characteristics, determine the instantaneous humidity value of the touch area;

[0076] If the instantaneous humidity value of the touch area is greater than the preset humidity threshold of button 30, it is determined that button 30 is in a state of moisture failure.

[0077] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for determining that the button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state. The instantaneous humidity value of the touch area is determined by modal characteristics. The instantaneous humidity value can reflect whether there is condensation in the touch area when the ambient humidity is high.

[0078] Furthermore, by comparing the real-time humidity value with the preset humidity threshold of button 30, it is determined whether button 30 is in a state of moisture failure based on the comparison result.

[0079] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, when the modal feature identification touch area meets a preset humidity threshold for the button 30, it is determined that the button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state. Specifically, this includes:

[0080] Based on modal features, the touch trace features on the surface of the touch area are determined, and the touch trace features are the touch trajectory during the triggering process of button 30;

[0081] The touch trajectory identified by the touch trace feature is a linear trajectory, and the touch trajectory extends to the edge of the touch area, indicating that button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state.

[0082] Specifically, this embodiment provides another method for determining that the button 30 is in a state of moisture failure. In the first trigger mode, there is a situation where condensation water flows across the touch area. During the process of condensation water flowing across the touch area, the button 30 is triggered to respond to the first trigger mode, which in turn leads to accidental touch.

[0083] Furthermore, by acquiring the touch trace characteristics of the touch area surface, it is determined whether button 30 is single-point triggered or slide triggered in the first trigger mode, and based on the different trigger forms, it is determined whether button 30 is triggered by a short press or fails due to moisture.

[0084] Understandably, in the first trigger mode provided by the present invention, the short press trigger of button 30 is a single-point trigger, that is, there will be no sliding trigger.

[0085] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, a control strategy for adjusting the working state of the button 30 is generated based on the first instantaneous trigger duration satisfying a preset trigger condition, specifically including:

[0086] If the trigger duration of button 30 is greater than or equal to the second preset duration, button 30 is determined to be in the second trigger mode, and the ambient humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained.

[0087] Based on the fact that the humidity value of the environmental humidity indicator is greater than the preset environmental humidity threshold, the duration of the first instant trigger duration is obtained in the second trigger mode.

[0088] If the duration of the first instant trigger duration is greater than or equal to the third preset duration, it is determined that button 30 is in a damp and ineffective state, and the second trigger mode is switched from the on state to the off state, and the third preset duration is greater than the second preset duration.

[0089] Specifically, this embodiment provides another implementation of the control strategy for generating the working state of the adjustment button 30. The triggering form of the button 30 is determined by the triggering duration of the button 30 and the second preset duration. The ambient humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained. When the ambient humidity is high, condensation is likely to occur, which may cause the button 30 to be accidentally touched.

[0090] Furthermore, when the ambient humidity is high, the duration of the first instant trigger duration is obtained, and the button 30 is determined to be in normal trigger mode or malfunctioning due to moisture based on the duration of the first instant trigger duration.

[0091] Furthermore, if the duration of the first instant trigger duration is greater than or equal to the third preset duration, it indicates that button 30 is in a long-term triggered state. Therefore, it is determined that button 30 is in a moisture-induced failure state under the second trigger mode, and button 30 is switched from the conducting state to the disconnected state.

[0092] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, when the duration of the first instantaneous triggering duration is greater than or equal to the third preset duration, it is determined that the button 30 is in a moisture-induced failure state, specifically including:

[0093] Obtain the preset duration superposition coefficient. The preset duration superposition coefficient is the duration superposition value set by button 30 when it is in a moisture-induced failure state.

[0094] If the second preset duration is not modified, the third preset duration is determined based on the second preset duration and the preset duration superposition coefficient.

[0095] When the second preset duration is in a rewritten state, the third preset duration is determined based on the superposition coefficient of the rewritten second preset duration and the preset duration.

[0096] Specifically, this embodiment provides another method for determining that the button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state. The preset duration superposition coefficient is the set duration of the button 30 in the moisture-affected and ineffective state. It can be understood that in the second trigger mode, after the duration of continuous triggering of the button 30 reaches the third preset duration determined by the second preset duration and the preset duration superposition coefficient, it indicates that the button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state in the second trigger mode.

[0097] Furthermore, the second preset duration is an open setting option, and users can set the trigger duration of the second trigger mode according to their own operating habits or preferences. Therefore, the rewriting status of the second preset duration is obtained, and the third preset duration is determined by combining the rewriting status of the second preset duration with the preset duration superposition coefficient.

[0098] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, switching the second triggering mode from the on state to the off state specifically includes:

[0099] Based on the fact that the second trigger mode is in the disconnected state for a preset disconnection time, the second trigger mode is switched from the disconnected state to the on state, and in the second trigger mode, the second instantaneous trigger time of button 30 is obtained;

[0100] Based on the fact that the second instant trigger duration is greater than or equal to the second preset duration and less than the third preset duration, the moisture state of button 30 is determined to be any one or a combination of the following: moisture in the touch area, moisture in the spring, and moisture in the conductive foam.

[0101] Based on the fact that the second instant trigger duration is greater than or equal to the third preset duration, it is determined that the moisture state of button 30 is a short circuit fault.

[0102] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for switching the second trigger mode from the on state to the off state. When the button 30 is in a moisture-induced failure state in the long press mode, there are multiple possible situations. It is necessary to determine the specific cause of moisture in the button 30 in order to provide reliable information support for users or maintenance personnel.

[0103] Furthermore, in the second trigger mode, when button 30 is determined to be damp, button 30 is switched to the disconnected state and held for a certain period of time. When the disconnected state of button 30 reaches the preset disconnected time, button 30 is switched from the disconnected state to the on state, and the second instantaneous trigger time of the second trigger mode of button 30 is obtained. Based on the second instantaneous trigger time, the second preset time, and the third preset time, the specific reason for the failure of button 30 due to dampness is determined.

[0104] In a possible embodiment, the second preset duration is 10 seconds, the third preset duration is 15 seconds, and the preset disconnection duration is 24 hours. This is because the button 30 may fail due to moisture in the touch area, spring, or conductive foam. After 24 hours, the moisture will slowly evaporate, and the button 30 will recover from its moisture-induced failure state. However, if the button 30 becomes damp due to a short circuit or other reasons, the button 30 may still not recover from its moisture-induced failure state even after a period of evaporation.

[0105] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, this solution provides a control device for the above-mentioned button control system of an air conditioner, comprising:

[0106] The duration acquisition module 40 is used to acquire the first instantaneous trigger duration of the button 30 based on the trigger signal of the button 30;

[0107] The strategy generation module 50 is used to generate a control strategy for adjusting the working state of the button 30 based on the first instant trigger duration meeting the preset trigger conditions.

[0108] The strategy execution module 60 is used to adjust the working state of the button 30 in the first trigger mode and / or the second trigger mode based on the control strategy and the on / off module 20. The working state includes the on state and the off state of the button 30.

[0109] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a control strategy for adjusting the working state of the adjustment button 30 is generated based on the first instantaneous trigger duration satisfying a preset trigger condition, specifically including:

[0110] If the trigger duration of button 30 is less than the first preset duration, button 30 is determined to be in the first trigger mode, and the ambient humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained.

[0111] Based on the fact that the humidity value of the ambient humidity indicator is greater than the preset ambient humidity threshold, the modal features of the touch area of ​​button 30 are obtained;

[0112] If the preset humidity threshold of button 30 is met in the touch area of ​​the modal feature identifier, it is determined that button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state, and the first trigger mode is switched from the on state to the off state.

[0113] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for generating the working state of the adjustment button 30.

[0115] Based on modal characteristics, determine the instantaneous humidity value of the touch area;

[0116] If the instantaneous humidity value of the touch area is greater than the preset humidity threshold of button 30, it is determined that button 30 is in a state of moisture failure.

[0117] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for determining that button 30 is in a moisture-affected and malfunctioning state.

[0118] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, when the modal feature identification touch area meets a preset humidity threshold for the button 30, it is determined that the button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state, specifically including:

[0119] Based on modal features, the touch trace features on the surface of the touch area are determined, and the touch trace features are the touch trajectory during the triggering process of button 30;

[0120] The touch trajectory identified by the touch trace feature is a linear trajectory, and the touch trajectory extends to the edge of the touch area, indicating that button 30 is in a moisture-affected and ineffective state.

[0121] Specifically, this embodiment provides another method for determining whether the button 30 is in a moisture-affected and malfunctioning state.

[0122] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a control strategy for adjusting the working state of the adjustment button 30 is generated based on the first instantaneous trigger duration satisfying a preset trigger condition, specifically including:

[0123] If the trigger duration of button 30 is greater than or equal to the second preset duration, button 30 is determined to be in the second trigger mode, and the ambient humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained.

[0124] Based on the fact that the humidity value of the environmental humidity indicator is greater than the preset environmental humidity threshold, the duration of the first instant trigger duration is obtained in the second trigger mode.

[0125] If the duration of the first instant trigger duration is greater than or equal to the third preset duration, it is determined that button 30 is in a damp and ineffective state, and the second trigger mode is switched from the on state to the off state, and the third preset duration is greater than the second preset duration.

[0126] Specifically, this embodiment provides another implementation of the control strategy for generating the working state of the adjustment button 30.

[0127] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, if the duration of the first instant trigger duration is greater than or equal to the third preset duration, it is determined that the button 30 is in a moisture-induced failure state, specifically including:

[0128] Obtain the preset duration superposition coefficient. The preset duration superposition coefficient is the duration superposition value set by button 30 when it is in a moisture-induced failure state.

[0129] If the second preset duration is not modified, the third preset duration is determined based on the second preset duration and the preset duration superposition coefficient.

[0130] When the second preset duration is in a rewritten state, the third preset duration is determined based on the superposition coefficient of the rewritten second preset duration and the preset duration.

[0131] Specifically, this embodiment provides another implementation method for determining that the button 30 is in a moisture-affected and malfunctioning state.

[0132] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, switching the second triggering mode from the on state to the off state specifically includes:
