[0014] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention. Examples of the embodiments are illustrated in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present invention include all changes, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of an air conditioner control method proposed in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] In this embodiment, the air conditioner control method is described by taking as an example that the air conditioner control method is constructed in the air conditioner control device. In this embodiment, the air conditioner control method is constructed in the air conditioner control device, and the air conditioner control device may be provided in a server, an electronic device, or an air conditioner, but is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the air conditioner control method is described by taking as an example that the air conditioner control method is constructed in an electronic device. Here, the electronic device is, for example, a hardware device having various operating systems, such as a smartphone, a tablet, a personal digital assistant, or an e-book.

[0017] In addition, the executing entity of an embodiment of the present invention may be hardware such as a central processing unit (CPU) in a server, electronic device, or air conditioner, or software such as a related background service in a server, electronic device, or air conditioner, but is not limited to these.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the air conditioner control method includes the following steps.

[0019] In S101, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences, a corresponding first parameter value in the first mode of a first control parameter is obtained.

[0020] Here, the first mode refers to a mode in which the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on a preference. In some embodiments, when the air conditioner is in the first mode, it is possible to assist in controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on a user's preference. The first mode is, for example, a preference mode. An interface in which a control for activating the first mode is set can be arranged in the electronic device, and when a user's command to activate the first mode based on the control is detected, the air conditioner can be controlled to enter the first mode.

[0021] Optionally, the first mode may include a recommended preference mode and a custom preference mode. In the embodiment of the present invention, after controlling the air conditioner to enter the first mode, the embodiment of the present invention may also support personalized control of multiple preference modes in the first mode.

[0022] Optionally, when the first mode is a recommended preference mode, a recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter sent from the server may be determined as the corresponding first parameter value in the recommended preference mode of the first control parameter.

[0023] Here, the first control parameter may be, for example, a mode, a wind speed, a wind sweep, a rating, a wind feeling, a fresh wind, a fresh wind speed, a temperature, etc. The number of the first control parameters may be one or more, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0024] In some embodiments, the recommended parameter values ​​may be, for example but not limited to, parameter values ​​that the server automatically sets for each time period based on the user's past usage.

[0025] 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, but not limited to, in real time by the server, or according to a transmission period.

[0026] In S102, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the first parameter value.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, after determining a corresponding first parameter value in a first mode of a first control parameter, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled based on the first parameter value.

[0028] Optionally, if the first mode is a recommended preference mode, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on a recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter, and if the first mode is a custom preference mode, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on a custom parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0029] In S103, when the first control parameter is adjusted, the air conditioner is controlled based on the second parameter value after the first control parameter is adjusted, and the corresponding first parameter value in the first mode of the first control parameter is not updated.

[0030] As an example, as shown in FIG. 1A, FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of a control interface in a custom preference mode in one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1A shows first parameter values ​​corresponding to each first control parameter defined by a user in the custom preference mode.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1B, FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram of a control interface of a recommendation preference mode in an embodiment of the present invention. After receiving a recommended parameter value corresponding to a first control parameter sent from the server, the recommended parameter value can be presented to a user through the control interface.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 1C, FIG. 1C is a schematic diagram of a control interface of an air conditioner in an embodiment of the present invention, and the control interface shown in FIG. 1C may be, for example, a higher-level interface of the control interface shown in FIG. 1A, or may be a main control interface. The Preference control in FIG. 1C can be used to control the air conditioner as if it were in a first mode, and controls such as Wind Feeling and Wind Speed ​​can also be arranged in this interface. This interface includes a portion that overlaps with the first control parameter in the interface shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, and when an adjustment to the first control parameter is detected in FIG. 1C, the air conditioner is controlled based on the second parameter value after the first control parameter is adjusted, but the first parameter value in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B is not changed. At this time, the setting of the first control parameter in the main interface is different from the setting inside the first mode.

[0033] In some embodiments, when a first parameter value corresponding to a first control parameter is dynamically updated in the recommendation preference mode, the dynamic update of the first parameter value can be stopped, that is, the first control parameter adjusted by the main interface in the recommendation preference mode will not fluctuate over time.

[0034] In some embodiments, when the first number corresponding to the adjusted first control parameter is less than the total number of the first control parameters, the air conditioner can be controlled based on a first parameter value corresponding to the unadjusted first control parameter and a second parameter value corresponding to the adjusted first control parameter.

[0035] In some embodiments, the parameter value of the first control parameter in the main interface of FIG. 1C can be synchronized with the first parameter value of the first control parameter in the first mode, and then, when the user adjusts the parameter value of the first control parameter in the main interface, the first parameter value of the first control parameter in the preference interface will not be updated, and the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the second parameter value of the first control parameter after it has been adjusted in the main interface and the first parameter value of the first control parameter that has not been adjusted in the first mode.

[0036] For example, all the first control parameters include wind speed, air guide control, fresh air switch, and fresh air wind shield, and if the first control parameters adjusted on the main page are wind speed and air guide control, the first parameter values ​​corresponding to the wind speed and wind shield in the first mode will no longer be updated over time, and the air conditioner will be controlled based on the second parameter values ​​after the wind speed and air guide control are adjusted, and the first parameter values ​​corresponding to the fresh air switch and fresh air wind shield.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1C , the main interface further includes a second control parameter not included in the first mode, such as a key sound or a light, so that the air conditioner can be controlled by combining a parameter value corresponding to the second control parameter, a first parameter value corresponding to the unadjusted first control parameter, and a second parameter value corresponding to the adjusted first control parameter.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences, the corresponding first parameter value is obtained in the first mode of the first control parameter, and then the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the first parameter value; finally, when the first control parameter is adjusted, the air conditioner is controlled based on the second parameter value after the first control parameter is adjusted, and the corresponding first parameter value in the first mode of the first control parameter is not updated. In this way, when the air conditioner is intelligently controlled based on the first mode according to preferences, if the user needs to adjust the control parameter, the operation state of the air conditioner can be further adjusted according to the user's needs, reducing the operation steps required for controlling the air conditioner, improving the convenience of controlling the air conditioner, and at the same time improving the flexibility of control.

[0039] 2 is a schematic flow diagram of an air conditioner control method proposed in one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the air conditioner control method includes the following steps:

[0040] In S201, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode in which the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on preferences, a corresponding first parameter value in the first mode of a first control parameter is obtained.

[0041] In S202, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the first parameter value.

[0042] In S203, when the first control parameter is adjusted, the air conditioner is controlled based on the second parameter value after the first control parameter is adjusted, and the corresponding first parameter value in the first mode of the first control parameter is not updated.

[0043] The description of S201 to S203 can be specifically referred to the above-mentioned embodiment, and will not be described further here.

[0044] In S204, if the adjusted first control parameter is of a preset type, the air conditioner is controlled to end the first mode.

[0045] Here, the preset type may be temperature or other parameters, but the present invention is not specifically limited thereto.

[0046] In a possible embodiment, when a user adjusts a temperature parameter in the control interface shown in Fig. 1C, the current operating mode of the air conditioner may cause the indoor temperature to no longer meet the user's needs, indicating that the user's preferences have changed, and therefore the air conditioner may be controlled to exit the first mode.

[0047] The operation of step S204 and the operation of step S203 may be executed simultaneously or one after the other, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0048] In S205, if the adjusted first control parameter is not of a preset type, the operation mode of the air conditioner is controlled to become the first mode.

[0049] In a possible embodiment, if the user adjusts other parameters in the main interface, such as air speed, airflow control, fresh air switch, fresh air wind shield, etc., the air conditioner will not exit the first mode.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, first, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences, a corresponding first parameter value is obtained in the first mode of the first control parameter, and then the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the first parameter value; when the first control parameter is adjusted, the air conditioner is controlled based on the second parameter value after the first control parameter is adjusted, and the corresponding first parameter value in the first mode of the first control parameter is not updated. In addition, it is also possible to determine whether the air conditioner has finished the first mode according to the type of the adjusted first control parameter. Therefore, not only can the adjusted first control parameter determine the needs of the user, but also whether the first mode has been finished, further improving the flexibility of the control of the air conditioner.

[0051] In some embodiments, after determining the adjusted air conditioner operation mode, the air conditioner is controlled to exit the first mode, thus further improving the promptness and flexibility of starting and exiting the first mode.

[0052] As an example, when a 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.

[0053] 3 is a schematic flow diagram of an air conditioner control method proposed in one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the air conditioner control method includes the following steps:

[0054] In S301, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is the recommended preference mode, a recommended parameter value corresponding to a first control parameter transmitted from the server according to a transmission period is received within a first time period after the recommended preference mode is activated.

[0055] Here, the first time period and the transmission cycle can be values ​​obtained by big data analysis, and are not limited to these, and each company's products can set parameters that suit the company's actual situation based on different demands and considerations. For example, the first time period can be 30 minutes, 40 minutes, etc., and the transmission cycle can be once every 10 minutes or once every 5 minutes, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0056] Optionally, if the first mode is a custom preference mode, a custom parameter value corresponding to the obtained first control parameter is determined as a corresponding first parameter value in the custom preference mode of the first control parameter.

[0057] Here, the custom parameter value is a parameter value obtained by customizing the first control parameter. For example, the custom parameter value may be a value obtained by customizing in advance according to individual needs of a user.

[0058] For example, within 30 minutes after the recommended preference mode is started, the server calculates the preference of the wind speed once to automatically determine the fluctuation direction and the wind volume step number, calculates the preference of the wind guide plate once to automatically determine the fluctuation direction and the angle of the wind guide plate, calculates the carbon dioxide concentration once to automatically determine the open / close state of the fresh air switch to perform the opening / closing operation, calculates the user's preference once to automatically determine the fluctuation direction and the wind volume step number of the fresh air wind screen, and after the calculation is completed, transmits the calculation result, and dynamically updates and adjusts the recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter.

[0059] In addition, during the first time period when the power is first turned on, the indoor air environment (including temperature, humidity, etc.) is still unstable, so updating and adjustment based on the transmission cycle is necessary. After the air conditioner is turned on during the first time period, the indoor air environment is basically adjusted to a stable state, and the air conditioner can adjust and operate according to the stable state, eliminating the need for frequent updates, which reduces the pressure on access to cloud data and reduces unnecessary calculation and communication pressure.

[0060] In S302, the recommended parameter value is determined as the first parameter value.

[0061] In S303, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the first parameter value.

[0062] In S304, in response to the first control parameter being adjusted within the first time period, and if the adjusted first control parameter is not of a preset type, a first instruction is sent to the server to instruct the server to stop sending recommended parameter values ​​corresponding to the adjusted first control parameter.

[0063] Here, if the adjusted first control parameter is not of a preset type, it indicates that the current operation mode of the air conditioner is still the recommended preference mode.

[0064] Furthermore, if the first control parameter is adjusted within the first time period, the server still calculates a recommended parameter value corresponding to the first control parameter according to the sending period, and sends the recommended parameter value, but since the parameter value corresponding to the adjusted first control parameter has already been updated by the user, a first command can be sent to the server, instructing the server to stop sending the recommended parameter value corresponding to the adjusted first control parameter, thereby saving computing resources and communication resources.

[0065] As an example, when the first mode is a recommendation preference mode, and all the first control parameters include wind speed, wind control, fresh air switch, and fresh air wind shield, and the first control parameters adjusted in the main interface are wind speed and wind control, the user sends a first command to the server to instruct the server to stop calculating the recommended parameter values ​​corresponding to wind speed and wind control, but the server still calculates and sends the recommended parameter values ​​of fresh air switch and fresh air wind shield.

[0066] In S305, the air conditioner is controlled based on the second parameter value after the first control parameter is adjusted.

[0067] In addition, the operation of controlling the air conditioner based on the second parameter value and the operation of sending the first command to the server may be executed simultaneously or one after the other, but the present invention does not limit the order of execution.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is the recommended preference mode, after receiving a recommended parameter value corresponding to a first control parameter transmitted from the server according to a transmission period within a first time period after the recommended preference mode is activated, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the recommended parameter value, and then, when the first control parameter is adjusted within the first time period and the adjusted first control parameter is not of a preset type, the server is instructed to stop transmitting the recommended parameter value corresponding to the adjusted first control parameter, and the air conditioner is controlled based on the second parameter value after the first control parameter is adjusted. Thus, when the first control parameter is adjusted by a user, the server can be instructed to stop updating the adjusted first control parameter, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of the control of the air conditioner and simultaneously saving resources.

[0069] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a control device for an air conditioner proposed in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 4, the control device 40 of the air conditioner includes: an acquisition module 401 for acquiring a corresponding first parameter value of a first control parameter in a first mode when the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences; a first control module 402 for controlling operation of the air conditioner based on the first parameter value; and and a second control module 403 for, when the first control parameter is adjusted, controlling the air conditioner based on a second parameter value after the first control parameter is adjusted, and not updating the corresponding first parameter value in the first mode of the first control parameter.

[0071] The above-mentioned explanations and descriptions of the control method for the air conditioner are also applied to the control device for the air conditioner of this embodiment, and will not be described further here.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the operation mode of the air conditioner is a first mode for controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on preferences, the corresponding first parameter value is obtained in the first mode of the first control parameter, and then the operation of the air conditioner is controlled based on the first parameter value; finally, when the first control parameter is adjusted, the air conditioner is controlled based on the second parameter value after the first control parameter is adjusted, and the corresponding first parameter value in the first mode of the first control parameter is not updated. As a result, when the air conditioner is intelligently controlled based on the first mode according to preferences, if the user has a need to adjust the control parameter, the operation state of the air conditioner can be further adjusted according to the user's needs, reducing the operation steps required for controlling the air conditioner and improving the convenience of controlling the air conditioner while improving the flexibility of control. FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of an exemplary air conditioner suitable for realizing an embodiment of the present invention.
