Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of air conditioning control technology, and in particular to an air conditioning control method, device, air conditioning equipment, medium and program product. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners typically offer multiple modes to meet user needs in various scenarios. Among these modes is a "standby mode," which means the air conditioner should remain on unless manually turned off by the user. To prevent malfunctions, the standby mode will automatically deactivate when the air conditioner is running in other modes. However, the standby mode often does not automatically reactivate after other operating modes have finished running. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, this disclosure provides an air conditioning control method, device, air conditioning equipment, medium, and program product.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, an air conditioning control method is provided. The method includes: when a first icon corresponding to a first operating mode is displayed in a first display state on an air conditioning control interface, in response to a trigger operation on a second icon corresponding to a second operating mode on the air conditioning control interface, controlling the second icon to display in the first display state and controlling the first icon to switch to the second display state, wherein when the second icon is displayed in the first display state, the air conditioner operates according to the second operating mode; and when the second icon switches to a third display state, controlling the first icon to switch to the first display state, wherein when the first icon is in the first display state, the air conditioner operates according to the first operating mode. This process eliminates the need for manual adjustment by the user, improving the convenience of air conditioning use.

[0005] In some possible implementations, the triggering operation is performed manually by the user, or the triggering operation is automatically selected at the start time of the timed operation setting.

[0006] In some possible implementations, when the second icon switches to a third display state, before controlling the first icon to switch back to the first display state, the air conditioning control method further includes: in response to a trigger operation on the second icon in the first display state, controlling the second icon to switch to the third display state. Thus, by switching the second icon from the first display state to the third display state based on the trigger operation on the second icon, the display state of the first icon is controlled in conjunction with the second icon, eliminating the need for the user to repeatedly operate the first icon and improving the convenience of air conditioning use.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the triggering operation is performed manually by the user, or the triggering operation is automatically selected at the end time of the timed operation setting.

[0008] In some possible implementations, when the triggering operation is a manual user operation, the air conditioning control method further includes: displaying a prompt pop-up window on the air conditioning control interface, wherein the prompt pop-up window is used to ask whether the first icon is selected; the step of controlling the first icon to switch to the first display state when the second icon switches to the third display state includes: when the second icon switches to the third display state and the first icon is confirmed to be selected based on the prompt pop-up window, controlling the second icon to switch to the third display state and controlling the first icon to switch to the first display state. Controlling the air conditioning according to user operations makes the control of the air conditioning more in line with user expectations, thereby improving the user experience.

[0009] In some possible implementations, controlling the first icon to switch back to the first display state when the second icon switches to the third display state includes: responding to a trigger operation on the first icon in the second display state, controlling the second icon to switch to the third display state, and controlling the first icon to switch back to the first display state. Controlling the air conditioner based on user operations makes the control of the air conditioner more in line with user expectations, thereby improving the user experience.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the air conditioning control method further includes: in response to a trigger operation on a first icon in a first display state, controlling the first icon to switch its display to a third display state. Controlling the air conditioner based on user operations makes the control of the air conditioner more in line with user expectations, thereby improving the user experience.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the air conditioning control method further includes: controlling the color and / or pattern displayed by the first icon according to its display state, wherein the display state includes a first display state, a second display state, or a third display state. Users can understand the air conditioner's operating status based on different colors or icons.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the first display state is used to indicate that the function is enabled, the second display state is used to indicate that the function is in standby mode, and the third display state is used to indicate that the function is disabled.

[0013] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, an air conditioning control device is provided, which is applied to the air conditioning control method described in the first aspect.

[0014] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, an air conditioning device is provided, comprising: a processor; a memory for storing processor-executable instructions; wherein the processor is configured to implement the steps of the method described in the first aspect when executing the instructions.

[0025] Figure 7 This is a block diagram illustrating an air conditioning device according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0026] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0027] It should be noted that all actions involving the acquisition of signals, information, or data in this disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the location is situated, and with authorization from the owner of the relevant device.

[0028] Air conditioners typically offer multiple modes to meet user needs in different scenarios, such as sleep mode, rapid cooling / heating mode, preferred mode, direct airflow mode, and avoidance mode. Among these modes are "stay-on" modes, which are operating modes that should remain on unless manually turned off by the user. To prevent malfunctions, the stay-on mode is automatically deactivated when the air conditioner is running in other modes. However, after other modes have finished running, the stay-on mode often fails to automatically reactivate, making it difficult to truly maintain a permanent state. Users must manually reactivate the stay-on mode. This increases the complexity of user operations, and if the user forgets to restart it, the stay-on mode becomes ineffective in the long term, failing to consistently provide the expected comfort or energy-saving effects, thus degrading the user experience.

[0029] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides an air conditioning control method. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The aforementioned clothing air conditioning control method can be applied to Figure 6 The air conditioning control device 400 shown Figure 7 The air conditioning unit 800, computer program product, and computer-readable storage medium shown are described below. The following example uses an application in an air conditioning unit. The following will focus on... Figure 1 The process shown will be described in detail. The air conditioning control method may include the following steps: Step S110: When the first icon corresponding to the first working mode on the air conditioner control interface is displayed in the first display state, in response to the trigger operation of the second icon corresponding to the second working mode on the air conditioner control interface, the second icon is controlled to be displayed in the first display state, and the first icon is controlled to switch to the second display state. When the second icon is displayed in the first display state, the air conditioner operates according to the second working mode.

[0030] To adapt to user needs in different scenarios, the air conditioner can have multiple modes. One constant mode is determined among these modes. For example, the first operating mode is determined as the constant mode. When the air conditioner is turned on, it runs in the first operating mode by default. That is, when the air conditioner is turned on or powered on, the first icon corresponding to the first operating mode is automatically displayed as the first display state on the air conditioner control interface, and the air conditioner operates according to the first operating mode. The first display state is used to indicate that a function is enabled. In this embodiment, the first icon is automatically displayed as the first display state, and the first display state is used to indicate that the function corresponding to the first icon is enabled.

[0031] When the first icon on the air conditioner control interface is displayed in the first display state, a trigger operation is detected for the second icon corresponding to the second working mode on the air conditioner control interface. Since the air conditioner operates differently in different working modes, to avoid operational chaos and conflicts, the air conditioner only runs one working mode at a time. At this time, the air conditioner pauses the first working mode and switches to the second working mode. For example, in response to the trigger operation on the second icon corresponding to the second working mode on the air conditioner control interface, the second icon is controlled to display in the first display state, and the first icon is controlled to switch to the second display state. Specifically, the second icon switches from its original third display state to the first display state, and the first icon switches from its original first display state to the second display state. When the second icon is displayed in the first display state, the air conditioner operates according to the second working mode; when the first icon is displayed in the second display state, the first working mode is in a waiting state. The second display state is used to represent function standby; in this embodiment, the first icon displaying in the second display state indicates that the function corresponding to the first icon is in a standby state.

[0032] Optionally, the triggering operation is a manual operation by the user, such as the user directly clicking or touching the first icon. Alternatively, the triggering operation is automatically selected at the start time of the timed operation setting. The second working mode can be manually set by the user, and / or the user can set it at a set time. For example, the user's triggering operation can be setting the working time of the second working mode to 10:00-12:00, with 10:00 as the start time and 12:00 as the end time.

[0033] For example, the air conditioning control interface can be displayed on the user terminal's screen, and it can also be displayed on the air conditioning control panel connected to the user terminal. When the air conditioning unit is part of the same air conditioning system as the air conditioner, the air conditioning control interface can be displayed on the air conditioning control panel.

[0034] Step S120: When the second icon is switched to the third display state, the first icon is controlled to switch to the first display state. When the first icon is in the first display state, the air conditioner operates according to the first working mode.

[0035] When the second icon switches from the first display state to the third display state, the air conditioner stops operating in the second working mode. The third display state indicates that the function is off; in this embodiment, the second icon is displayed in the third display state, indicating that the function corresponding to the second icon is off. Since the first working mode is a standby mode, it automatically restarts after the air conditioner stops operating in the second working mode. Accordingly, the first icon of the first working mode switches from the second display state to the first display state, making it convenient for the user to refer to the current working status of the air conditioner.

[0036] Compared to the first operating mode, which is the permanent mode, the second operating mode can be understood as a temporary mode. The air conditioner defaults to operating in the first operating mode. If the user selects the second operating mode while it is operating in the first operating mode, the air conditioner will prioritize operating in the second operating mode. After the second operating mode ends, the air conditioner will return to operating in the first operating mode.

[0037] The air conditioning control method provided in this embodiment, when the first icon corresponding to the first working mode on the air conditioning control interface is displayed in the first display state, responds to the trigger operation of the second icon corresponding to the second working mode on the air conditioning control interface, controls the second icon to be displayed in the first display state, the air conditioner works according to the second working mode, and controls the first icon to switch to the second display state; when the second icon switches to the third display state, controls the first icon to automatically switch to the first display state, and the air conditioner automatically switches back to work according to the first working mode. This process does not require manual adjustment by the user, improving the convenience of using the air conditioner.

[0038] In some possible implementations, this disclosure also provides an air conditioning control method; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The air conditioning control method may include the following steps: Step S210: When the first icon corresponding to the first working mode on the air conditioner control interface is displayed in the first display state, in response to the trigger operation of the second icon corresponding to the second working mode on the air conditioner control interface, the second icon is controlled to be displayed in the first display state, and the first icon is controlled to switch to the second display state. When the second icon is displayed in the first display state, the air conditioner operates according to the second working mode.

[0039] The description of step S210 is the same as that of step S110, and will not be repeated here.

[0040] Step S220: In response to a trigger operation on a second icon in a first display state, control the second icon to switch its display to a third display state.

[0041] In response to a trigger operation on the second icon in the first display state, the second icon on the control interface switches from the first display state to the third display state, and correspondingly, the air conditioner stops operating in the second working mode.

[0042] Optionally, the triggering operation is a manual operation by the user, such as the user directly touching or clicking the second icon. Alternatively, the triggering operation is automatically selected at the end time of the timed operation setting.

[0043] Step S230: When the second icon is switched to the third display state, the first icon is controlled to switch to the first display state. When the first icon is in the first display state, the air conditioner operates according to the first working mode.

[0044] The description of step S230 is the same as that of step S120, and will not be repeated here.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second icon is switched from the first display state to the third display state based on the trigger operation of the second icon, and the display state of the first icon is controlled in conjunction with this, so that the user does not need to repeatedly operate the first icon, thus improving the convenience of using the air conditioner.

[0046] For example, the triggering operation is a manual operation by the user. In some possible implementations, this disclosure also provides an air conditioning control method; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The air conditioning control method may include the following steps: Step S310: When the first icon corresponding to the first working mode on the air conditioner control interface is displayed in the first display state, in response to the trigger operation of the second icon corresponding to the second working mode on the air conditioner control interface, the second icon is controlled to be displayed in the first display state, and the first icon is controlled to switch to the second display state. When the second icon is displayed in the first display state, the air conditioner operates according to the second working mode.

[0047] The description of step S310 is the same as that of step S110, and will not be repeated here.

[0048] Step S320: In response to a trigger operation on a second icon in a first display state, control the second icon to switch its display to a third display state.

[0049] The description of step S320 is the same as that of step S220, and will not be repeated here.

[0050] Step S330: Display a pop-up window on the air conditioning control interface, wherein the pop-up window is used to ask whether the first icon is selected.

[0051] The trigger operation is a manual action by the user, meaning the user manually deactivates the second operating mode. This facilitates user operation of the air conditioning control interface. A pop-up window can be displayed on the air conditioning control interface to ask whether the first icon is selected. For example, the pop-up window could display "Do you want to click the first icon?" or "Do you want to activate the first operating mode?"

[0052] Step S340: When the second icon switches to the third display state and the first icon is selected based on the prompt pop-up, control the first icon to switch to the first display state.

[0053] Optionally, the user can click a button on the pop-up window to confirm whether the first icon has been selected. For example, the user can click the "Confirm" button to confirm the selection of the first icon. Alternatively, the user can confirm the selection of the first icon via voice. For instance, when the pop-up window is displayed, the user's voice information is collected. The confirmation of selecting the first icon is determined based on the voice information. For example, the voice information might be "Okay, please select the first icon for me," or "Confirm."

[0054] When the first icon is selected based on the confirmation pop-up, the first icon is switched from the second display state to the first display state, and the air conditioner operates according to the first working mode.

[0055] Optionally, the user can also choose not to select the first icon. For example, the user can click the cancel button. Alternatively, a voice message can be used to indicate whether the first icon is selected. For example, the voice message could be "Cancel" or "Deselect".

[0056] The first icon can continue to be displayed in the third display state. Alternatively, the first icon can switch from the third display state to the first display state.

[0057] In this embodiment, by confirming the selection of the first icon through user operation, the first icon is controlled to switch to the first display state, and the air conditioner operates according to the first working mode. The air conditioner is controlled according to user operation, so that the control of the air conditioner is more in line with user expectations, thereby improving the user experience.

[0058] Optionally, in addition to the aforementioned first and second display states, the first icon may also include a third display state. Optionally, the color and / or pattern displayed by the first icon can be controlled according to its display state. This allows users to understand the air conditioner's operating mode based on the color or pattern of the first icon.

[0059] For example, when the first icon is displayed in a first display state, the first icon is controlled to be displayed in a first color; when the first icon is displayed in a second display state, the first icon is controlled to be displayed in a second color; and when the first icon is displayed in a third display state, the first icon is controlled to be displayed in a third color.

[0060] For example, the first color could be dark blue, the second color could be light green, and the third color could be white. It should be noted that these colors are merely examples and are not intended to be limiting.

[0061] Different display states can also be represented by changing the pattern displayed in the first icon.

[0062] The user can switch between a first display state and a third display state based on their touch on the first icon. If the first icon is touched while in the first display state, it switches to the third display state. Alternatively, if the first icon is touched while in the third display state, it switches back to the first display state.

[0063] For example, the first color can be dark blue, and the third color can be white. The first working mode can be... Figure 4 The "preference" pattern in Figure 4 In the settings, the icon corresponding to the "Preference" mode is displayed in the first color, blue, indicating that the air conditioner is operating in the first mode. When the user clicks... Figure 4 When the icon corresponding to the "Preferences" mode is selected, the icon corresponding to the "Preferences" mode will switch to... Figure 5 The white icon indicates that the air conditioner is not operating in its primary mode. Users can understand this by recognizing the white icon. Figure 4 The icon for "Sleep" mode is dark blue, indicating that the icon is selected and the air conditioner is operating in "Sleep" mode.

[0064] You can also touch the first icon that is in the second display state to switch the first icon to the first display state.

[0065] Based on this, step S120 may include: in response to a trigger operation on a first icon in a second display state, controlling the second icon to switch to a third display state, and controlling the first icon to switch to a first display state.

[0066] Optionally, the air conditioning control method further includes: in response to a trigger operation on a first icon in a first display state, controlling the first icon to switch to a third display state.

[0067] In this embodiment, the display status of the first icon is controlled according to the user's operation, and the air conditioner is controlled to work.
