Air conditioning system
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The processing load of an adapter in an air conditioning system is increased due to the simultaneous updating of the learning model and control program, which affects its efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The air conditioning system employs a first updating unit for updating the learning model and a second updating unit for updating the control program, using different methods to manage and reduce the adapter's processing load.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the adapter is allowed to have functions for receiving and storing update purpose control programs and learning models from the server device, then the adapter can provide recommended operations and update capabilities, but the processing load of the adapter is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the adapter's update functions into two distinct updating units: a first updating unit for learning models and a second updating unit for control programs. Each unit handles specific update tasks independently, preventing the adapter from being overwhelmed by simultaneous update operations and reducing overall processing load while maintaining comprehensive update capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic update methods where the first updating unit uses a first update method for learning models and the second updating unit uses a second update method for control programs. This dynamic approach allows the adapter to adapt its processing strategy based on the type of update, optimizing resource allocation and reducing processing load.
2Ease of operation
If the adapter temporarily stores the received update purpose control program and sends it to the indoor unit, then the adapter can relay communication between the server device and indoor unit, but the adapter's memory and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent separates the storage and processing of update data into distinct functional units. The first updating unit handles learning model storage and transmission, while the second updating unit handles control program storage and transmission. This segmentation reduces the memory burden on the adapter by processing different data types through dedicated pathways.

AI summary
An air conditioning system includes an air conditioner and an adapter that connects the air conditioner and an external server device. The adapter includes a first updating unit and a second updating unit. The first updating unit updates, when a new learning model that provides a recommended operation to a control unit included in the air conditioner is received from the external server device, the learning model by using a first update method. The second updating unit updates, when an update purpose control program that updates a control program for the air conditioner is received from the external server device, the update purpose control program by using a second update method that is different from the first update method. It is possible to reduce an adapter load by updating the learning model and the control program by using different methods.
