Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air-conditioning centralized control systems face challenges in accurately grouping and managing air conditioning devices due to low fault-tolerance rates and high labor costs associated with incorrect mounting data formats, which complicates the positioning and management of these devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a mobile device to mark measurement points on an electronic map, obtain coordinates, and receive Bluetooth signals to identify and group air conditioning devices based on relative position information, improving positioning accuracy and reducing labor costs by generating grouping information that includes device coordinates and identification codes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If grouping operations are divided based on geographic positions using mounting data, then administrators can quickly locate air conditioning devices, but the fault-tolerance rate is low and manual compilation is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of recording and compiling mounting data with an automated electronic system. The mobile device automatically captures geographic position information through GPS or other positioning technologies, and the server automatically processes and stores this data, eliminating manual data entry and compilation while improving both speed and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy of the mounting process by automatically capturing geographic coordinates and device identification information. This digital copy is stored in the database and can be directly used for grouping operations, eliminating the need for manual transcription and reducing errors associated with manual data handling.
2Adaptability or versatility
If mounting data is manually retained and compiled, then air conditioning devices can be associated with geographic positions, but labor costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing the mobile device to automatically perform all mounting data collection and processing functions. The device automatically captures its geographic position, retrieves air conditioning device information, and transmits this data to the server for automatic processing and storage, eliminating the need for manual intervention entirely.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by automatically capturing and storing geographic position information at the moment of device installation. This preliminary data collection eliminates the need for subsequent manual data entry and compilation, as all necessary information is already captured and organized in the database before any grouping operations are performed.
3Measurement precision
If incorrect mounting data format is used, then positioning operations are affected, but the system lacks fault tolerance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter format by using standardized geographic coordinate systems (such as latitude and longitude) that are universally recognized and easily processed by computers. This standardized format ensures compatibility across different systems and reduces errors, while the automated processing further ensures that data is consistently formatted and validated.

Function Achieved in This Case
This approach enhances the fault-tolerance rate and reduces labor costs by enabling quick and accurate location and grouping of air conditioning devices within a target region, facilitating efficient management and control.
Implementation Method 1
obtaining, based on a Bluetooth signal received at the measurement point, an identification code of each of air conditioning devices located around the measurement point and relative position information between the measurement point and the air conditioning devices located around the measurement point
Data Source
AI summary
A method for grouping air conditioning devices includes marking a measurement point in an electronic map of a target region, and coordinates of the measurement point are obtained in the electronic map. An identification code of each of air conditioning devices located around the measurement point and relative position information between the measurement point and the air conditioning devices located around the measurement point are obtained based on a Bluetooth signal received at the measurement point. At least one target air conditioning device in the target region is determined based on the relative position information between the measurement point and the air conditioning devices located around the measurement point. Grouping information corresponding to the target region is generated. The grouping information includes the coordinates of the measurement point in the electronic map and an identification code of each of the at least one target air conditioning device.
