The invention relates to a timing appointment method of an air conditioner, which comprises a common timing mode, a continuous
period timing mode and / or an intermittent
period timing mode, wherein the continuous
period timing mode or the intermittent period timing mode comprises the following steps of: (1) judging whether a timing
signal is input or not, if the timing
signal is input, executing the step (2), and if no timing
signal is input, executing other program modules or starting a low
power consumption mode; (2) setting a timing time and a timing way, and defining a
processing timer in the CPU (
Central Processing Unit) of a remote controller; (3) sending the timing signal; (4) judging whether the difference between the
current time and the set time is an integral hour point or not or the difference between the
current time and the timing time is an integral hour number point or not, and if the difference is the integral hour point, automatically sending the timing signal by the remote controller to the host of the air conditioner to calibrate and adjust the time of the host of the air conditioner; (5) judging whether the
current time is half an hour earlier than the preset time or not, and if the current time is half an hour earlier than the preset time, automatically sending the timing signal by the remote controller to the host of the air conditioner; and (6) executing the timing action by the air conditioner. The invention can determine the on /
off time and period of the air conditioner by the timing appointment signal which is input according to the requirements of a user, can meet different requirements of the user, and has comprehensive functions.
