[0018] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and exemplary embodiments of the embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals throughout indicate the same or similar elements, or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are used only for the purpose of explaining the present disclosure, and are not to be construed as limiting the present disclosure. Rather, the embodiments of the present disclosure include all variations, modifications, and equivalents within the spirit and meaning of the appended claims.

[0019] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an air conditioner control method proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0020] In this embodiment, the air conditioner control method is exemplified in a mode in which it is configured in a control device of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner control method in this embodiment may be configured in the air conditioner control device, and the air conditioner control device may be configured in a server, or may be configured in an electronic device, or may be configured in an air conditioner, and is not particularly limited. This embodiment is an example in which the air conditioner control method is configured in an electronic device. In this case, examples of electronic devices include hardware devices having various OSs such as smartphones, tablet computers, personal digital assistants, and e-books.

[0021] In addition, the executing entity of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be, in terms of hardware, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) in a server, electronic device, or air conditioner, and in terms of software, for example, a related back-end service in a server, electronic device, or air conditioner, but is not limited to this.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, the method for controlling an air conditioner includes the following steps. Step S101: Determine that the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode, the first mode being a mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences, the first mode having an associated first control, and the first control being used to determine whether to enable a target sub-mode under the first mode.

[0023] Here, the first mode is a mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences. In some embodiments, when the air conditioner is in the first mode, control of the operation of the air conditioner based on a user's preferences may be supported. The first mode may be, for example, a preference mode. The electronic device may be configured with an interface in which an enablement control for the first mode is set, and the air conditioner may be controlled to enter the first mode when a user's command to enable the first mode based on the control is detected.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the air conditioner is controlled to enter the first mode, personalized control of a target sub-mode under the first mode may also be supported. The target sub-mode may support selection of a custom preference mode or a recommended preference mode. When the target sub-mode is enabled, it indicates that the recommended preference mode is selected. In the recommended preference mode, the air conditioner can be controlled based on data sent from the server. When the target sub-mode is not enabled, it indicates that the custom preference mode is selected. In the custom preference mode, the air conditioner can be controlled based on data customized by the user.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a control associated with the first mode, which may be referred to as a first control, may be configured, and the first control may support determining whether to enable a target sub-mode under the first mode. Exemplarily, when the first mode is enabled, the first control may enter a set interface, and the first control may be a switch control. When the first control is switched to enabled, it means that the target sub-mode is enabled and the recommended preference mode is selected. When the first control is not enabled, it means that the target sub-mode is not enabled and the custom preference mode is selected.

[0026] In some embodiments, the target submode may also be referred to as the recommendation preference mode.

[0027] Step S102: It is determined that the target submode is not enabled, and the air conditioner is controlled to operate based on the custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0028] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the target submode in the first mode is not enabled, the operation of the air conditioner may be controlled based on a custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter. The custom parameter value may be obtained in advance by customizing according to an individual request of a user. The first control parameter may be, for example, a mode, a wind speed, a sweeping air, a fixed setting, a wind feeling, a fresh air, a fresh air speed, a temperature curve, etc. And, the custom parameter value is a parameter value obtained by customizing the first control parameter.

[0029] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the target submode is not enabled, a custom parameter value corresponding to a first control parameter customized by the user may be obtained, and operation of the air conditioner may be controlled based on the custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0030] Step S103: It is determined that the target submode is enabled, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter transmitted from the server.

[0031] In some embodiments, if it is determined that a target submode under the first mode has been enabled, indicating that a recommended preference mode has been selected, the air conditioner may be controlled based on data transmitted from the server. For example, a recommended parameter value corresponding to a first control parameter transmitted from the server may be first received, and the operation of the air conditioner may be controlled based on the recommended parameter value.

[0032] In some embodiments, the recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter may be received in advance and cached locally, or may be dynamically transmitted by the server, for example, in real time by the server, or dynamically transmitted by the server based on a transmission period, without any particular limitation.

[0033] In some embodiments, when performing the step of obtaining a recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter sent by the server, the recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter sent by the server may be received, or the recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter cached locally may be obtained, in which case the recommended parameter value is pushed locally by the server in advance, thereby effectively improving the flexibility of obtaining the recommended parameter value, and effectively improving the flexibility and control effect of the air conditioner control.

[0034] In some embodiments, the recommended parameter values ​​may be, but are not limited to, parameter values ​​that are automatically set by the server for each time period based on the user's past usage.

[0035] In this embodiment, it is determined that the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode, where the first mode is a mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences, the first mode has an associated first control, and the first control is used to determine whether to enable a target sub-mode under the first mode, and if it is determined that the target sub-mode is not enabled, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on a custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter, and if it is determined that the target sub-mode is enabled, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on a recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter sent from the server, thereby effectively reducing the operational steps required to control the air conditioner and effectively improving the convenience of controlling the air conditioner.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, if it is determined that the target submode is not enabled, a first control parameter and a second control corresponding to the first control parameter may be provided, where the second control is used to customize a parameter value of the first control parameter, and a custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter is set based on the second control, thereby effectively supporting personalized control of the parameter value of the first control parameter, and enabling the operation control of the air conditioner to effectively meet personalization requirements.

[0037] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of a control interface of an air conditioner in one embodiment of the present disclosure, in which a situation of entering a first mode, a first control 21 related to the first mode is shown, when the first control 21 is not enabled, it indicates that the target submode is not enabled, the selected mode is a custom preference mode, and each of the first control parameters corresponds to a second control 22 for setting a custom parameter value for the corresponding first control parameter. When the first control 21 is enabled, it means that the target submode is enabled and the recommended preference mode is selected. In the recommended preference mode, the first control parameter and the second control in FIG. 2A can be grayed out, i.e., cannot be edited, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the data transmitted from the server. As shown in FIG. 2B, FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of a control interface of a recommended preference mode in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and after the first control 21 in FIG. 2A is triggered to enable the target submode, it is also possible to jump from the interface shown in FIG. 2A to the interface shown in FIG. 2B to display the recommended parameter value to the user.

[0038] In order to improve the convenience and flexibility of customizing the first control parameter, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides two methods for setting a custom parameter value of the first control parameter based on the second control, thereby facilitating users to quickly customize and control the first control parameter.

[0039] In some embodiments, in response to the second control being triggered, a plurality of candidate parameter values ​​corresponding to the first control parameter may be displayed, a selected candidate parameter value from the plurality of candidate parameter values ​​may be determined, and the selected candidate parameter value may be used as the custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0040] For example, as shown in FIG. 2A above, when the second control 22 is triggered (e.g., clicked), a drop-down list displaying multiple candidate parameter values ​​may be displayed, and when a candidate parameter value is selected, it may be treated as the selected candidate parameter value; the multiple candidate parameter values ​​may be displayed in the form of a pop-up window; and the interface shown in FIG. 2A may allow entry into a subordinate interface, which displays multiple candidate parameter values ​​from which the user can select to customize the selection.

[0041] In other embodiments, the custom parameter value may be directly received, and the received custom parameter value may be used as the custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter. Exemplarily, the second control may also be configured as a parameter value inbox, based on which a custom parameter value entered by a user is received, and the received custom parameter value may be used as the custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0042] FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an air conditioner control method proposed in another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 3, the method for controlling an air conditioner includes the following steps.

[0044] Step S301: Determine that the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode, the first mode being a mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences, the first mode having an associated first control, and the first control being used to determine whether to enable a target sub-mode under the first mode.

[0045] The description of step S301 may particularly refer to the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0046] Step S302: It is determined that the target submode is not enabled and the preset condition is satisfied, and the air conditioner is controlled to operate based on a custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to enhance the intelligent degree of the air conditioner control, it is also possible to deeply identify the user's control intention, and when it is determined that the target sub-mode is not enabled, detect and judge whether the user has a request for other adjustment to the first control parameter, and if there is a request for other adjustment, the strategy of the air conditioner control can be further intelligently analyzed.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset condition may include determining that the first control parameter is not adjusted or determining that the first control parameter is adjusted, where the adjustment time is earlier than the custom time of the custom parameter value.

[0049] As shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a control interface of an air conditioner in another embodiment of the present disclosure, and the control interface shown in Fig. 4 may be, for example, a higher-level interface of the control interface shown in Fig. 2A. The "preference" control in Fig. 4 can be used to control the air conditioner to a first mode in which controls such as "wind feel" and "wind speed" can also be set in the interface, and the interface includes a portion overlapping with the first control parameter in the interface shown in Fig. 2A. When an adjustment of the first control parameter is detected in Fig. 4, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled by combining the target parameter value adjusted in the interface with the custom parameter value shown in Fig. 2A.

[0050] Exemplarily, in the control interface shown in Fig. 4, if the user does not readjust the first control parameter, it is determined that the preset condition is met and the target submode is not enabled, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter. In the control interface shown in Fig. 4, if the user readjusts the first control parameter but the adjustment time is earlier than the custom time of the custom parameter value, it is determined that the preset condition is met and the target submode is not enabled, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0051] Step S303: When it is determined that the target submode is not enabled and the preset condition is not satisfied, determine a target parameter value obtained by adjusting the first control parameter.

[0052] Step S304: Control the operation of the air conditioner based on a target parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0053] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the target submode is not enabled and it is determined that the user has readjusted the first control parameter in the control interface shown in FIG. 4, and the adjustment time is slower than the custom time, it is shown that the user's latest personalized control request is reflected in the control interface shown in FIG. 4, and thus a target parameter value obtained by adjusting the first control parameter may be determined.

[0054] Step S305: Determine that the target submode is enabled, and control the operation of the air conditioner based on the recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter sent from the server.

[0055] The description of step S305 can be particularly referred to in the above embodiment, so it will not be repeated here.

[0056] In the present embodiment, determining that the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode, the first mode being a mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on a preference, the first mode having an associated first control, the first control being used to determine whether to enable a target sub-mode under the first mode, determining that the target sub-mode is not enabled and determining that a preset condition is met, thereby controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on a custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter, determining that the target sub-mode is not enabled and determining that a preset condition is not met, determining a target parameter value obtained by adjusting the first control parameter, and controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on the target parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter, determining that the target sub-mode has been enabled and controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on a recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter transmitted from the server, thereby effectively reducing the operation steps required to control the air conditioner and effectively improving the convenience of controlling the air conditioner. In addition, in order to improve the intelligent degree of the air conditioner control, the user's control intention can be deeply recognized, and when it is determined that the target sub-mode is not enabled, it is possible to detect and judge whether the user has other adjustment requests for the first control parameter, and if there are other adjustment requests, the control strategy of the air conditioner can be further intelligently analyzed.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when performing the step of controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on a custom parameter value corresponding to a first control parameter, it is possible to further determine an initial parameter value corresponding to a second control parameter, where the first control parameter and the second control parameter are different, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the initial parameter value corresponding to the second control parameter and the custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter, which can further improve the convenience and intelligence of the control of the air conditioner.

[0058] Here, the second control parameter may be, for example, a control parameter of a higher-level control interface, for example, a control parameter of a control interface as shown in Fig. 4. A specific example is a temperature parameter. The second control parameter may be a parameter different from the first control parameter, such as, but not limited to, a different type, or the same type but a different control method.

[0059] For example, when an initial parameter value corresponding to a temperature parameter is detected in the control interface shown in FIG. 4, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled by combining the temperature parameter with the custom parameter value of the first control parameter in the control interface shown in FIG. 2A.

[0060] Of course, in other embodiments, after setting the first control parameter of the preference interface in FIG. 2, the parameter value of the first control parameter of the main interface in FIG. 4 may be synchronized with the parameter value of the first control parameter of the preference interface, and then, when the parameter value of the first control parameter of the main interface is adjusted (other than the operation mode and the second control parameter (e.g., temperature)), the parameter value of the first control parameter of the preference interface will not be changed based on the parameters sent by the server, and the operation of the air conditioner will be controlled based on the parameter value of the first control parameter adjusted by the main interface and other control parameters of the preference interface.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for exiting the first mode is also provided, which increases the promptness and flexibility of starting and stopping the first mode.

[0062] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is controlled to exit the first mode if it is determined that an initial parameter value corresponding to a second control parameter has been adjusted, where the first control parameter and the second control parameter are different.

[0063] For example, in one possible embodiment, the temperature parameter in the control interface as shown in FIG. 4 may be associated with a temperature curve in the control interface as shown in FIG. 2A, for example such that the variation range of the temperature curve is maintained in association with an initial setting value of the temperature parameter, and when a user adjusts the temperature parameter in the control interface as shown in FIG. 4, it may be determined that the user's preference has changed, at which point the air conditioner can be controlled to exit the first mode.

[0064] In another embodiment, if it is determined that the operating mode of the air conditioner has been adjusted, the air conditioner is controlled to exit the first mode.

[0065] Exemplarily, when the user adjusts the operation mode of the air conditioner to another mode, for example, a sleep mode or an energy saving mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to exit the first mode.

[0066] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an air conditioner control method proposed in another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 5, the method for controlling an air conditioner includes the following steps. Step S501: Determine that the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode, the first mode being a mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences, the first mode having an associated first control, and the first control being used to determine whether to enable a target sub-mode under the first mode.

[0068] The description of step S501 may particularly refer to the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0069] Step S502: Determine that the target submode is not enabled, and control the operation of the air conditioner based on a custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0070] Step S503: Determine that the target submode is enabled, and control the operation of the air conditioner based on the recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter sent from the server.

[0071] The description of steps S501 to S503 may particularly refer to the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0072] Step S504: A trigger for switching the air conditioner off is detected, and the current operation mode of the air conditioner is recorded.

[0073] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the "OFF" control of the control interface as shown in Fig. 4 has been triggered, it can be determined that the state of the air conditioner has been set to the OFF state due to the trigger, and the current operation mode of the air conditioner can be recorded. Exemplarily, it is recorded whether the first mode is enabled this time, and whether the target sub-mode under the first mode is enabled this time.

[0074] Step S505: When it is detected that the state of the air conditioner has been set from the OFF state to the ON state again by the trigger, the operation mode of the air conditioner is set based on the currently recorded operation mode.

[0075] In some embodiments, when it is detected that the state of the air conditioner has been set from the OFF state to the ON state again by a trigger, the operation mode of the air conditioner is set based on the operation mode recorded this time. For example, when it is detected that the air conditioner has been turned ON again, the operation mode after this turning on may be directly set based on the operation mode when the air conditioner was turned ON the previous time.

[0076] In this embodiment, the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode, the first mode is a mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences, the first mode has an associated first control, the first control is used to determine whether a target submode is enabled under the first mode, if it is determined that the target submode is not enabled, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on a value of a customization parameter corresponding to the first control parameter, if it is determined that the target submode is enabled, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on a recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter transmitted from the server, thereby effectively reducing the operation steps required for controlling the air conditioner and effectively improving the convenience of controlling the air conditioner. By detecting a trigger for setting the state of the air conditioner to an off state, recording the current operation mode of the air conditioner, detecting a trigger for setting the state of the air conditioner back to an on state from an off state, and setting the operation mode of the air conditioner based on the currently recorded operation mode, the convenience and flexibility of setting the operation mode of the air conditioner can be further improved.

[0077] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to realize linked control of on and operation mode and quickly and easily control the operation mode of the air conditioner, it is also possible to determine that the air conditioner is in an off state, detect a trigger for setting the operation mode of the air conditioner to a first mode, switch the air conditioner from the off state to the on state, and perform control to set the operation mode of the air conditioner to the first mode.

[0078] For example, when the air conditioner is in an off state, as shown in FIG. 4, when a trigger for setting the operation mode of the air conditioner to a first mode is detected in the control interface, the air conditioner may be controlled in conjunction with being turned on and the operation mode of the air conditioner may be set to the first mode at the same time.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the custom parameter values ​​or the recommended parameter values ​​include temperature parameter values ​​corresponding to each preset time, it is possible to control the operation of the air conditioner, control the buzzer of the air conditioner to be in an off state, and / or control the display screen state of the air conditioner to be in a screen-off state according to the multiple temperature parameter values, so as to avoid affecting the user and improve the user's usage experience.

[0080] For example, the custom parameter value may include multiple temperature parameter values, where different temperature parameter values ​​correspond to different control times, and may detect whether the current time has reached the control time, and if so, control the air conditioner to operate based on the temperature parameter value corresponding to the control time.

[0081] Exemplarily, the recommended parameter value may include multiple temperature parameter values, where different temperature parameter values ​​correspond to different control times, and may detect whether the current time has reached the control time, and if so, control the air conditioner to operate based on the temperature parameter value corresponding to the control time.

[0082] For example, when timing-controlling an air conditioner based on multiple temperature parameter values, it is also possible to avoid affecting the user by triggering a buzzer or display screen state at each control time; for example, the buzzer state of the air conditioner may be controlled to be in an off state, and / or the display screen state of the air conditioner may be controlled to be in a screen-off state.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if it is determined that the buzzer state is set to the first target state, the buzzer state of the air conditioner is controlled to be the first target state. By realizing the detection of the user's personalized setting, the control of the buzzer state can effectively meet the user's personal use requirements. Exemplarily, the user can make personalized settings of the buzzer state in an interface as shown in FIG. 4, and the buzzer state set by the user can be called the first target state. When it is detected that the user has set the buzzer state as the first target state, the buzzer state of the air conditioner may be controlled to be the first target state. The first target state is, for example, beep or mute.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is determined that the display screen state is set to the second target state, the display screen state of the air conditioner is controlled to be in the second target state. By realizing the detection of the user's personalized setting, the control of the display screen state can effectively meet the user's personalized usage requirements. Exemplarily, the user can make personalized settings for the state of the display screen in an interface as shown in FIG. 4, and the state of the display screen set by the user can be called the second target state. When it is detected that the user has set the display screen state to the second target state, the display screen state of the air conditioner may be controlled to be in the second target state. The second target state is, for example, a screen-off state or a screen-on state.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the user can control the switch of the preference mode (an example of selecting the first mode) to enter the preference mode and make custom settings (such as wind speed, fresh air, temperature, etc., with arrow indications next to the settings); when the recommended preference mode (an example of selecting the target sub-mode) is turned on, the custom setting fields become unconfigurable, and the data sent from the server is obtained and the current air conditioner control parameters are displayed; the control parameters change themselves based on the server preference mode parameters and are displayed to the user.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the custom preference mode (a selection example in which the target submode is not enabled), the parameter value of the first control parameter adjusted in the main interface may be different from the parameter value of the first control parameter adjusted in the preference mode interface, and the control of the air conditioner is performed with the latest adjustment.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the recommended preference mode, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled based on data transmitted from the server.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preference mode switch can be controlled to enter the preference mode and select to execute custom preferences or recommended preferences. Custom preferences allow custom settings (wind speed, fresh air, temperature, etc., with arrow indications next to the settings), while recommended preferences make the custom setting fields unconfigurable, and the data sent from the server is obtained and the current control parameters of the air conditioner are displayed. The control parameters change by themselves according to the server's preference mode and are displayed to the user.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, during the process of custom preference operation, the main interface adjusts the operation mode, the set temperature, and automatically exits the preference mode; when the main interface adjusts other parameters such as wind speed, fresh air, and air guide control, the preference mode is not exited, and at this time, the wind speed of the main interface can be different from the internally set wind speed of the preference mode.

[0090] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the air conditioner is turned off and the main interface turns on the preference mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to be turned on and execute the preference mode.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, during the operation process of the preference mode, if the set temperature is transmitted at a fixed time, the buzzer of the air conditioner is turned off, if the user operates it independently, the buzzer operates based on the user settings, when the preference mode is turned off, the buzzer operates based on the user settings, during the operation of the preference mode, if the set temperature is transmitted at a fixed time, the line controller does not light up the screen, if the user operates it independently, the line controller operates based on the user settings, when the preference mode is turned off, the line controller operates based on the user settings.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sleep mode, the energy saving mode, and the preference mode are mutually exclusive, and the custom sleep mode and the preference mode are mutually exclusive. When the user turns on the self-cleaning mode, the air conditioner immediately shuts down and executes the self-cleaning mode. The preference mode is automatically ended by operating the remote control and the wire controller.
