Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical technology, and in particular to an electrical device and a method for controlling the electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electrical equipment includes a master unit and a slave unit. When the interaction between the master and slave units requires setting initial parameters, some functions will be unusable if the slave unit does not receive these initial parameters. When installing new electrical equipment, the installer sends configuration parameters (or control commands) to the slave unit through the master unit, and the slave unit operates the corresponding functions based on the received configuration parameters. However, if the master or slave unit of the electrical equipment is replaced midway, whether the configuration parameters are only stored in the master unit, the slave unit, or both, the required synchronized parameters cannot be achieved. In other words, if the configuration parameters are only stored in the master unit, they will be lost when the master unit is replaced, requiring the installer to come and reconfigure them; if the configuration parameters are only stored in the slave unit, they will differ from the original settings when the slave unit is replaced, preventing normal operation and requiring the installer to come and reconfigure them; if they are stored in both units, data cannot be synchronized after replacing either one, and the equipment still cannot operate normally. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide an electrical device and a control method for the electrical device that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems, aiming to solve the problem that the master or slave device of the existing electrical device cannot achieve data synchronization after the master or slave device is replaced.

[0004] Specifically, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a control method for an electrical device, the electrical device including a master unit and a slave unit; the control method includes:

[0005] In response to the power-on of electrical equipment, an initial prompt message is sent to the user to confirm whether the master and slave devices are new.

[0006] Based on user feedback, the host and slave devices are selectively controlled to synchronize configuration parameters.

[0007] Optionally, the step of selectively controlling the master and slave to synchronize configuration parameters based on user feedback includes:

[0008] If the user feedback information indicates that the slave device is a new device, then the slave device is controlled to read the configuration parameters of the host device and write the configuration parameters of the host device into the slave device.

[0009] If the user feedback information indicates that the host is a new machine, then the host is controlled to read the configuration parameters of the slave machine and write the configuration parameters of the slave machine into the host.

[0010] If the user feedback indicates that neither the host nor the slave is a new device, then the number of functions included in the configuration parameters of the host and the slave is compared; and based on the comparison result, the electrical equipment is controlled to selectively operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave or the host.

[0011] Optionally, sending the first notification message to the user includes:

[0012] The host computer is controlled to display a first preset menu, allowing the user to select either the slave device or the host computer as a new device.

[0013] Optionally, before sending the first notification message to the user, the method further includes:

[0014] A second prompt message is sent to the user, allowing the user to choose whether to synchronize the configuration parameters of the host and the slave.

[0015] In response to the user's selection to synchronize the configuration parameters of the host and the slave, the step of sending the first prompt message to the user is executed.

[0016] Optionally, sending the second notification message to the user includes:

[0017] The host computer is controlled to display a second preset menu, allowing the user to select whether to synchronize the configuration parameters of the host and the slave computer.

[0018] Optionally, after sending the second notification message to the user, the method further includes:

[0019] In response to the user not selecting to synchronize the configuration parameters of the host and the slave, the number of functions included in the configuration parameters of the host and the slave is compared.

[0020] Based on the comparison results, the control electrical equipment selectively operates according to the configuration parameters of the slave or master unit.

[0021] Optionally, controlling the electrical equipment to selectively operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave or master device based on the comparison result includes:

[0022] If the configuration parameters of the slave device contain a small number of functions, the electrical control equipment will operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave device.

[0023] If the configuration parameters of the host include a small number of functions, the electrical equipment will be controlled to operate according to the configuration parameters of the host.

[0024] If the configuration parameters of the host and the slave are the same, the control electrical equipment will operate according to the configuration parameters of the host or the slave.

[0025] Optionally, the control method further includes:

[0026] In response to the initial installation of the electrical equipment, the host computer sends configuration parameters to the slave computer.

[0027] On the other hand, the present invention also provides an electrical device including a controller, the controller including a memory, a processor and a computer program stored in the memory and running on the processor, and the processor executing the computer program to implement the steps of the control method of the electrical device as described in any one of the above.

[0028] Optionally, the host is a wired controller;

[0029] The slave device is the master control board.

[0030] Optionally, the electrical equipment is an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit.

[0031] The slave unit is the main control board of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0032] In an electrical device and its control method according to the present invention, when the electrical device is powered on, a first prompt message is sent to the user, allowing the user to select a new device based on the prompt message. The electrical device can automatically adjust the configuration parameters of the master or slave device based on user feedback, thereby synchronizing the configuration parameters of the master and slave devices. Therefore, by employing this control method, during the power-on loading phase of the electrical device, dual backup and data synchronization of the master and slave device configuration parameters can be automatically achieved, thus avoiding the problem of electrical device malfunction caused by asynchronous master and slave device configuration parameters, and ensuring normal operation of the electrical device after power-on loading is completed.

[0033] Furthermore, allowing users to manually select the new device enhances the user control experience and satisfies users who like to check settings after replacing their device.

[0034] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention has the advantages of simple control procedures and easy execution.

[0035] Therefore, those skilled in the art will more readily understand the above and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention from the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] The following reference Figures 1 to 9 This invention describes an electrical device and a control method for the electrical device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature, that is, include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. When a feature "includes or contains" one or more of the features it encompasses, unless otherwise specifically described, this indicates that other features are not excluded and may be further included.

[0048] Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," "link," "fix," and "couple" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art should be able to understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0050] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a control method for an electrical device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and in conjunction with... Figure 2-9 This invention provides a method for controlling an electrical device, the electrical device including a master unit and a slave unit, and the method for controlling the electrical device may include the following steps:

[0051] S100, in response to the power-on of electrical equipment, sends the first prompt message to the user to confirm whether the new machine and the main unit are new machines;

[0052] The S200 selectively controls the master and slave devices to synchronize configuration parameters based on user feedback.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the electrical device is powered on, a first prompt message is sent to the user, allowing the user to easily select a new device based on this message. The electrical device can automatically adjust the configuration parameters of the master or slave device based on user feedback, achieving synchronization between the master and slave device configuration parameters. Therefore, the control method of this embodiment can automatically achieve dual backup and data synchronization of master and slave device configuration parameters during the power-on loading phase of the electrical device. This avoids the problem of electrical device malfunction caused by asynchronous master and slave device configuration parameters, ensuring normal operation of the electrical device after power-on loading is completed.

[0054] Furthermore, allowing users to manually select the new device enhances the user control experience and satisfies users who like to check settings after replacing their device.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, step S200, selectively controlling the master and slave to synchronize configuration parameters based on user feedback information, may include the following specific steps:

[0056] S201, if the user feedback information is that the slave device is a new device, then control the slave device to read the configuration parameters of the master device and write the configuration parameters of the master device to the slave device to achieve synchronization of the configuration parameters of the master device and the slave device;

[0057] S202, if the user feedback information indicates that the master is a new machine, then the master will read the configuration parameters of the slave and write the configuration parameters of the slave to the master to achieve synchronization of the configuration parameters of the master and the slave.

[0058] Using the method described in this embodiment, upon receiving user feedback, the configuration parameters of the master and slave devices can be automatically synchronized according to the corresponding control strategy. This embodiment improves the efficiency of data synchronization and shortens the power-on loading time of electrical equipment.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the invention, step S200, selectively controlling the master and slave to synchronize configuration parameters based on user feedback information, may further include the following specific steps:

[0060] S203, if the user feedback information indicates that neither the slave nor the new machine is a new machine, then compare the number of functions included in the configuration parameters of the master and slave machines; and based on the comparison result, control the electrical equipment to selectively operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave or the master machine.

[0061] The step of selectively controlling the electrical equipment to operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave or master device based on the comparison results may include the following steps:

[0062] S2031, if the configuration parameters of the slave device contain a small number of functions, the electrical equipment is controlled to operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave device; specifically, after the electrical equipment is powered on and loaded, the slave device is the master device, controlling the operation of the electrical equipment.

[0063] S2032, if the host's configuration parameters include a small number of functions, the electrical equipment will be controlled to operate according to the host's configuration parameters; specifically, after the electrical equipment is powered on and loaded, the host will take the lead in controlling the operation of the electrical equipment.

[0064] Furthermore, the step of selectively controlling the electrical equipment to operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave or master unit based on the comparison results may also include the following steps:

[0065] S2033 If the configuration parameters of the master and slave are the same, the controlled electrical equipment shall operate according to the configuration parameters of the master or slave.

[0066] The control method of this embodiment ensures that even if the master or slave device is replaced and the user makes an incorrect selection, the electrical equipment will still not malfunction and will continue to operate normally, thus improving the user experience.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, sending the first prompt information to the user specifically includes the following steps:

[0068] S101, the control host displays the first preset menu, allowing the user to select either the slave device or the host device as the new device.

[0069] Specifically, the host has a settings interface, which includes a first preset menu. The first preset menu includes: ① Host is a new machine; ② Slave is a new machine. When the user selects ①, it means the host is a new machine; if the user selects ②, it means the slave is a new machine.

[0070] Alternatively, the first preset menu includes: ① I am a new machine; ② The slave machine is a new machine, where "I am a new machine" means "The master machine is a new machine".

[0071] In some alternative embodiments, the first preset menu further includes: ③ Neither the host nor the slave is a new machine, so as to meet the usage scenario where neither the host nor the slave has been replaced.

[0072] In some alternative embodiments, the first prompt information includes menu prompts and voice prompts.

[0073] By employing these two notification methods, users can promptly update their devices, thereby improving the power-on efficiency of electrical appliances. Menu prompts can be displayed on the main unit or via the app, while voice prompts can be provided through the app.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, before sending the first prompt message to the user, the control method further includes the following steps:

[0075] S310, in response to the power-on of electrical equipment, sends a second prompt message to the user, allowing the user to choose whether to synchronize the configuration parameters of the master and slave devices;

[0076] S320, in response to the user selecting the configuration parameters for the synchronization master and slave, the step of sending the first prompt information to the user is executed.

[0077] In this embodiment, when the electrical equipment is powered on, the user is first prompted whether to synchronize the configuration parameters of the master and slave devices. If the user chooses to synchronize, the user is then prompted whether the master or slave device is a new device. This method avoids erroneous operations caused by the user directly selecting a new device, thereby improving control accuracy.

[0078] Specifically, the second prompt information may include at least one of menu prompts and voice prompts. When the second prompt information includes both menu and voice prompts, it ensures that the user can make the appropriate selection in a timely manner, thereby improving the power-on loading efficiency of the electrical equipment.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, step S310, which involves sending the second notification message to the user, specifically includes the following steps:

[0080] S311, the control host displays a second preset menu, allowing the user to select whether to synchronize the configuration parameters of the host and slave.

[0081] Specifically, the second preset menu may include "Synchronize Master and Slave Configuration Parameters," or other prompt text. When the user selects the "Synchronize Master and Slave Configuration Parameters" menu, the step of sending the first prompt information to the user is executed.

[0082] like Figure 7 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, after sending the second prompt message to the user, the control method of the electrical device may further include the following steps:

[0083] S330, in response to the user not selecting the configuration parameters for the synchronization master and slave, compares the number of functions included in the configuration parameters of the master and slave;

[0084] S340, based on the comparison results, controls the electrical equipment to selectively operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave or master unit.

[0085] Step S340 may include the following specific steps:

[0086] S341, if the configuration parameters of the slave device contain a small number of functions, the electrical equipment is controlled to operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave device; that is, after the electrical equipment is powered on and loaded, the slave device takes the lead in controlling the operation of the electrical equipment.

[0087] S342, if the configuration parameters of the host include a small number of functions, the electrical equipment is controlled to operate according to the configuration parameters of the host; that is, after the electrical equipment is powered on and loaded, the host takes the lead in controlling the operation of the electrical equipment.

[0088] Specifically, after sending the second prompt message to the user, if the user does not select to synchronize the configuration parameters of the master and slave devices, the number of functions included in the configuration parameters of the master and slave devices is compared. If the number of functions included in the configuration parameters of the two devices differs, after the electrical equipment is powered on and loaded, the controller will control the electrical equipment to operate according to the one with the fewer functions. Through the above settings, when the master or slave device is a new machine, but the user has not made the correct selection, the electrical equipment will not malfunction and will still operate normally, thus improving the user experience.

[0089] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, step S340 may include the following steps:

[0090] S341, if the configuration parameters of the slave device contain a small number of functions, the electrical equipment is controlled to operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave device; that is, after the electrical equipment is powered on and loaded, the slave device takes the lead in controlling the operation of the electrical equipment.

[0091] S342, if the configuration parameters of the host include a small number of functions, the electrical equipment is controlled to operate according to the configuration parameters of the host; that is, after the electrical equipment is powered on and loaded, the host takes the lead in controlling the operation of the electrical equipment.

[0092] S343, if the configuration parameters of the master and slave are the same, the controlled electrical equipment will operate according to the configuration parameters of the master or slave.

[0093] like Figure 8 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, the control method for electrical equipment may further include the following steps:

[0094] In response to the initial installation of electrical equipment, the S400 controller sends configuration parameters to the slave device.

[0095] Step S400 precedes step S100. Specifically, when the electrical equipment is installed for the first time, the control host sends configuration parameters to the slave device to enable the host to configure the slave device. In other words, after installation and configuration are completed, the configuration parameters are double-backed up in both the host and slave devices.

[0096] like Figure 9 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, the control method for electrical equipment includes the following steps:

[0097] S1, When the electrical equipment is installed for the first time, the control host sends configuration parameters to the slave device;

[0098] S2, When the electrical equipment is powered on, the control host displays a second preset menu, allowing the user to select whether to synchronize the configuration parameters of the host and slave.

[0099] S3, when the user selects the configuration parameters for synchronizing the master and slave, the master will display the first preset menu, allowing the user to select either the slave or the master as the new machine;

[0100] S4, when the user selects the slave as a new machine, the slave is controlled to read the configuration parameters of the master and write the configuration parameters of the master to the slave, so as to realize the synchronization of the configuration parameters of the master and the slave;

[0101] S5, when the user selects the new machine as the master, the master reads the configuration parameters of the slave and writes the configuration parameters of the slave to the master, so as to realize the synchronization of the configuration parameters of the master and the slave;

[0102] S6, when the user does not select the configuration parameters of the master and slave, compare the number of functions included in the configuration parameters of the master and slave;

[0103] S7. If the configuration parameters of the slave device contain a small number of functions, the controlled electrical equipment will operate according to the configuration parameters of the slave device.

[0104] S8. If the configuration parameters of the host include a small number of functions, the electrical equipment will be controlled to operate according to the configuration parameters of the host.

[0105] S9. If the configuration parameters of the master and slave are the same, the controlled electrical equipment will operate according to the configuration parameters of the master or slave.

[0106] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first preset menu is a submenu of the second preset menu.

[0107] The control method of this embodiment enables dual backup of configuration parameters during the initial installation of electrical equipment. Furthermore, it prompts the user whether to synchronize the configuration parameter data of the master and slave devices each time the electrical equipment is powered on and loaded. If the user chooses to synchronize data, the user is prompted to select a new device, and the data of the master and slave devices is synchronized according to the user's selection. This ensures timely synchronization of the configuration parameter data of the master and slave devices after the master or slave device is replaced, guaranteeing the normal operation of the electrical equipment.

[0108] The control methods described in the above embodiments are not only applicable to air conditioners, but also to various electrical appliances that have many peripherals (external devices) installed, or whose peripherals need to be turned off or not presented to the user.

[0109] This invention also provides an electrical device including a controller, a master unit, and a slave unit. The controller includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and running on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it implements the steps of the control method for the electrical device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0110] The computer program used to perform the operations of this invention may be assembly instructions, instruction set architecture (ISA) instructions, machine instructions, machine-dependent instructions, microcode, firmware instructions, status setting data, integrated circuit configuration data, or source code or object code written in any combination of one or more programming languages ​​and procedural programming languages.

[0111] The electrical equipment in this embodiment can synchronize data between the master or slave device selected by the user during the power-on loading phase, thereby avoiding the problem of electrical equipment failure due to the replacement of the master or slave device and improving the user experience.

[0112] Specifically, the host's function is to issue enable control commands (configuration parameters) to control which functions of the slave device are effective and can be run. Functions that are not enabled by the host will not be displayed on the host's own display page (these functions are blocked from the user). The host can remember these parameters after power failure.

[0113] The role of the slave device is to run the corresponding functions according to the instructions received from the master device, and to remember the enable control instructions issued by the master device even after power failure.

[0114] The aforementioned electrical equipment is equipped with a number of peripherals, and any peripherals that are not installed need to be turned off or not displayed to the user.

[0115] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the host is a wired controller for electrical equipment, and the slave is the main control board of the electrical equipment.

[0116] A wired remote control is a control device with a display interface used to control electrical appliances. Specifically, by providing a display interface, a wired remote control allows users to control various functions of electrical appliances through simple operations such as clicking or touching.

[0117] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the electrical device is an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The main unit is a wired controller of the air conditioner, and the slave unit is the main control board of the indoor unit.

[0118] Furthermore, this air conditioner is a water-cooled air conditioner controlled by a wired controller, and its difference from existing ordinary air conditioners lies in the fact that the heat exchange object is changed from indoor air to water.

[0119] Because air conditioners have numerous and complex functions and connected peripherals, it's impossible to easily distinguish whether a specific peripheral is installed using EEPROM (if EEPROM were used, the required data volume would be extremely large). Therefore, parameter settings need to be configured on the wired controller. During installation, the installer enables the functions sequentially via the wired controller based on which peripherals the user has installed, achieving personalized customization in the simplest way. For example, if four users (A, B, C, and D) want to use functions 12, 123, 124, and 234 respectively, using EEPROM would require applying for four different models. However, the method of this invention only requires one model and the same basic data, and configuration parameters only need to be changed via the wired controller during installation.

[0120] The flowchart provided in this embodiment is not intended to indicate that the operations of the method will be performed in any particular order, or that all operations of the method are included in every case. Furthermore, the method may include additional operations. Within the scope of the technical concept provided by the method in this embodiment, additional variations can be made to the above method.

[0121] While this invention provides several exemplary embodiments, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of this invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, the scope of this invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
