[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0019] Hereinafter, the technical aspects of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in relation to the accompanying drawings. Clearly, the embodiments described are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without any creative work based on the embodiments of the present application are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0020] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application are not used to describe a specific order or priority, but rather to distinguish similar objects. It should be understood that data used in this way is interchangeable when appropriate, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described in this specification. Moreover, the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of the same type. The number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object may be one or a plurality. Further, "and / or" in the description and claims represents at least one of the connected objects. The character " / " generally represents that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0021] Hereinafter, the air conditioning control method, device, and air conditioner indoor unit provided by the embodiments of this application will be described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in relation to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiments of this application provide an air conditioning control method including the following. In step 101, a first operation instruction is received. The first operation instruction includes a target instruction for adjusting at least one target functional state of the air conditioner indoor unit. Optionally, the target functional state includes, but is not limited to, temperature, humidity, wind speed, air volume, etc.
[0023] The target instruction can be understood as a set of instructions for instructing at least one adjustment instruction, and each adjustment instruction correspondingly adjusts one target functional state. Optionally, the set of instructions can be represented by an instruction ID. For example, the instruction ID is a number, index, or instruction name. For example, the first operation instruction is a sleep mode on instruction, a comfort mode on instruction, etc. <开
[0024] In step 102, convert the first operation instruction into a second operation instruction. The second operation instruction includes at least one function adjustment instruction. Each function adjustment instruction corresponds to one target function state. Here, the second operation instruction is an operation instruction recognizable by the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0025] Note that the air conditioner indoor unit can realize the adjustment of the air conditioner function based on the second operation instruction.
[0026] Note that the embodiment of the present application converts a first operation instruction that cannot be recognized by the air conditioner indoor unit into a second operation instruction that can be recognized by the air conditioner indoor unit, so that an old air conditioner indoor unit can also recognize new functions and realize the compatibility between old and new air conditioners.
[0027] Optionally, the first operation instruction may be sent from a second controller. The second controller mentioned in the embodiment of the present application refers to a controller that performs function enhancement. For example, the second controller refers to a new controller later arranged for an old model air conditioner indoor unit. The new controller is applicable to a new model air conditioner indoor unit. For example, the second controller may be a wireless remote control.
[0028] Optionally, in one implementation form, the specific implementation of converting the first operation instruction into the second operation instruction includes the following. In step 1021, obtain an operation information set corresponding to the first operation instruction. The operation information set includes at least one adjusted parameter value corresponding to at least one target function state of the air conditioner indoor unit. Note that each adjusted parameter value corresponds to one target function state.
[0029] Furthermore, since the regulator of the indoor unit of the air conditioner needs to be adjusted for each air conditioner function, it is necessary to pre-set the parameter values to be adjusted for each functional state corresponding to a different first operation command. Optionally, the correspondence between the first operation command and the operation information set is pre-set. This correspondence can be stored in the air conditioning control device as a matching relationship table. This matching relationship table contains operation information sets corresponding to multiple different first operation commands. Different first operation commands are represented by different command IDs. When the air conditioning control device receives a first operation command, it should find the corresponding operation information set in the matching relationship table based on the command ID corresponding to that first operation command.
[0030] In step 1022, a function adjustment command corresponding to each of the at least one target function states is obtained based on the operation information set and a first value corresponding to at least one target function state of the air conditioner indoor unit. The first value can be understood as the current value corresponding to the target function state. Once the current value corresponding to the target function state and the parameter value to be adjusted for the target function state are obtained, it is possible to determine what adjustments need to be made to adjust the target function state to the corresponding parameter value. In other words, the function adjustment command includes the adjustment method and the specific numerical value to be adjusted. For example, if the target function state is temperature, its adjusted parameter value is 25 degrees, and the current temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit is 28 degrees, then it is necessary to lower it by 3 degrees to achieve the corresponding parameter value. That is, the adjustment method corresponding to this adjustment is to lower the temperature, and the specific numerical value of the adjustment is 3 degrees.
[0031] In step 1023, a function adjustment command corresponding to at least one target function state is determined as the second operation command.
[0032] Furthermore, if the second controller is a controller added later for an air conditioner indoor unit or a controller corresponding to another air conditioner, and the air conditioner indoor unit may have previously corresponded to an initial controller (also called the original controller), then to ensure that the status of the air conditioner indoor unit matches the display of the initial controller, the method optionally further includes, in one embodiment, transmitting the second operation command to the first controller corresponding to the air conditioner indoor unit, where the first controller is the initial controller of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0033] Here, after receiving the second operation command, the first controller adjusts its display value and controller state based on the instructions of the second operation command to ensure that its state matches that of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
[0034] For example, if the first operation command is a sleep mode on command, the temperature in sleep mode is pre-set to 26 degrees and the airflow to the minimum. When the air conditioning control unit receives the sleep mode on command transmitted from the second controller, it needs to analyze this command and analyzes that the adjusted parameter value corresponding to the temperature is 26 degrees and the adjusted parameter value corresponding to the airflow is the minimum value. For example, if the air conditioning control unit obtains that the current corresponding temperature value is 28 degrees and the current corresponding airflow value is the maximum value, it determines that the second control command includes lowering the temperature by 2 degrees and changing the airflow to the minimum value. Alternatively, for example, if the air conditioning control unit obtains that the current corresponding temperature value is 24 degrees and the current corresponding airflow value is the minimum value, it determines that the second control command includes raising the temperature by 2 degrees. In this case, it may be understood that the second control command includes raising the temperature by 2 degrees and keeping the airflow constant.
[0035] The first controller is optionally connected to the indoor unit of the air conditioner by wire or wireless connection.
[0036] Furthermore, with the above implementation configuration, the first operation command can be accurately converted to the second operation command, and the conversion accuracy of the air conditioning control device can be guaranteed.
[0037] Furthermore, the first operation command may not only involve the execution of a single adjustment, but may also indicate that real-time adjustment is required. In this case, optionally, in one embodiment, the method further includes: If the first operation command includes a real-time adjustment command in step a1, environmental condition information is acquired. Optionally, in one embodiment, the environmental condition information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of ambient temperature, ambient humidity, and airflow rate.
[0038] Whether or not a real-time adjustment command is included in the first operation command can be determined from the command ID of the first operation command. For example, if the first operation command is a comfort mode on command to ensure the user is always in a comfortable environment, then it can be determined that the first operation command includes a real-time adjustment command. Typically, whether or not a real-time adjustment command is included in the first operation command can be set in advance.
[0039] In step a2, the target function state associated with the real-time adjustment command is determined. Note that the first operation command may be associated with multiple target function states, but the real-time adjustment command may not need to adjust all target function states associated with the first operation command. In this case, it is determined which specific target function state the real-time adjustment command is associated with, i.e., which target function state needs to be adjusted. Typically, the target function state associated with the real-time adjustment command can be set in advance.
[0040] In step a3, a third operation command is generated based on the environmental state information and a second value corresponding to at least one target functional state of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The third operation command includes a function adjustment command corresponding to each of the target functional states associated with the real-time adjustment command. This second value can be understood as the current value corresponding to the target functional state. Optionally, when generating the third operation command, the adjustment gradient of the target functional state can be determined based on the difference between the environmental state information and the current value corresponding to the target functional state, and the adjustment direction. Specifically, this includes one of the following forms. Embodiment 1: When the difference between the environmental state information and the second value corresponding to the target functional state is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value, and the adjustment direction is to be in a direction lower than the second value, the adjustment step length of the function adjustment command is set to the first step length. Embodiment 2: When the difference between the environmental state information and the second value corresponding to the target functional state is greater than or equal to the first predetermined value, and the adjustment direction is to be higher than the second value, the adjustment step length of the function adjustment command is set to the second step length. Embodiment 3: When the difference between the environmental state information and the second value corresponding to the target functional state is less than or equal to a second predetermined value, and the adjustment direction is to be in a direction lower than the second value, the adjustment step length of the functional adjustment command is set to the third step length. Embodiment 4: When the difference between the environmental state information and the second value corresponding to the target functional state is less than or equal to a second predetermined value, and the adjustment direction is to be higher than the second value, the adjustment step length of the function adjustment command is set to the fourth step length.
[0041] Typically, when the difference between the environmental condition information and the second value corresponding to the target functional state is large, it is necessary to adjust with a larger step length in order to reach the temperature that meets the needs as quickly as possible. When the difference between the environmental condition information and the second value corresponding to the target functional state is small, it is necessary to adjust with a smaller step length. For example, the third step length mentioned above is less than or equal to the first step length, and the fourth step length is less than or equal to the second step length.
[0042] For example, if the target functional state is temperature, and the current temperature is 28 degrees, the ambient temperature is 30 degrees, and the ambient temperature needs to be lowered to 26 degrees, then the temperature should be lowered to 24 degrees. If the current temperature is 19 degrees, the ambient temperature is 30 degrees, and the ambient temperature needs to be lowered to 26 degrees, then the temperature should be lowered to 17 degrees in order to lower the ambient temperature as quickly as possible.
[0043] In the above example, we simply used temperature as the target functional state and ambient temperature as the environmental state information. However, the processing principles adopted for other target functional states and environmental state information are similar, so we will omit their explanation here.
[0044] If the air conditioner indoor unit optionally receives a third operation command, it can adjust its functional state based on that third operation command.
[0045] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes transmitting the third operation command to a first controller corresponding to the air conditioner indoor unit, so as to ensure that the display on the initial controller matches the status of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0046] In this case, the first operation command is a series of commands that, in addition to achieving the adjustment in this instance, also require real-time adjustments based on real-time environmental conditions. For example, the first operation command is a comfort mode on command, and in comfort mode, the ambient temperature needs to be maintained at 26 degrees. The temperature after the initial adjustment is set to 26 degrees. After a certain period of air conditioner operation, the ambient temperature is acquired, and if it is found to be 28 degrees, which does not meet the needs, the temperature needs to be lowered so that the ambient temperature reaches 26 degrees. After the temperature adjustment, if the next ambient temperature monitoring reveals that the ambient temperature is 24 degrees, the temperature needs to be raised so that the ambient temperature reaches 26 degrees to meet the needs.
[0047] The above examples do not constitute limitations on the embodiments of this application. The principle of the adjustment method when the first operating command is another command is similar to the adjustment principle described above, and therefore will not be explained here.
[0048] Optionally, in one embodiment, the method further includes generating a fourth operation command when a set time is reached, if it is determined that the first operation command includes a timing adjustment command.
[0049] The fourth operation command may include an instruction to adjust a specific functional state. This specific functional state is at least one target functional state indicated in the first operation command. For example, the specific functional state may be temperature, or a functional state associated with a timing adjustment instruction. For example, the specific functional state may be air conditioner off.
[0050] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes transmitting a fourth operation command to the corresponding first controller of the air conditioner indoor unit, so as to ensure that the display content of the initial controller matches the state of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0051] Whether or not the first operation command includes a timing adjustment command can be determined from the command ID of the first operation command. For example, the first operation command is sleep mode, in which case the air conditioner automatically turns off after a specific period of operation. In this case, it can be determined that the first operation command includes a timing adjustment command. Normally, whether or not the first operation command includes a timing adjustment command can be set in advance.
[0052] From the above, at least one embodiment of the present invention achieves the objective of making newly developed air conditioner functions recognizable in both new and old air conditioners by converting new functions into basic functions recognizable by older air conditioners, thereby improving compatibility between air conditioners that support new functions and those that do not.

[0054] Optionally, the conversion module 202 includes a first acquisition unit for acquiring an operation information set corresponding to the first operation command, which includes at least one adjusted parameter value corresponding to at least one target function state of the indoor unit of the air conditioner; a second acquisition unit for acquiring a function adjustment command corresponding to each of the at least one target function states based on the operation information set and a first value corresponding to at least one target function state of the indoor unit of the air conditioner; and a determination unit for determining the function adjustment command corresponding to the at least one target function state as the second operation command.
[0055] Optionally, the device further includes a transmission module for transmitting the second operation command to the initial controller of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, which is a first controller corresponding to the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
[0056] Optionally, the device further includes, if the first operation command includes a real-time adjustment command, an acquisition module for acquiring environmental state information, a determination module for determining a target functional state associated with the real-time adjustment command, and a generation module for generating a third operation command, which includes a functional adjustment command corresponding to each of the target functional states associated with the real-time adjustment command, based on the environmental state information and a second value corresponding to at least one target functional state of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
