In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the present invention, a technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any inventive effort, shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like herein are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the invention described herein may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of the method for preventing misoperation of an air conditioner, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes a step 110, a step 120 and a step 130.
Step 110, a first mode switching instruction input by a user to the air conditioner is obtained.
Specifically, the execution subject of the air conditioner misoperation prevention method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be an air conditioner control system or an air conditioner misoperation prevention device which is independently arranged in the air conditioner control system. The air-conditioning working mode in the embodiment of the invention comprises a dehumidifying mode, a humidifying mode, a water washing mode, a self-cleaning mode, a sterilizing mode and the like besides a conventional heating mode, a refrigerating mode, a dormancy mode, a full-automatic mode and the like. The mode switching instruction is an instruction for switching the operation mode of the air conditioner.
After the air conditioner is started, a user can input a first mode switching instruction through various ways to switch the working mode of the air conditioner, wherein the ways comprise control through a remote controller held by the user, control through a mobile terminal provided with an application program corresponding to the air conditioner, or control through a voice control unit installed in the air conditioner.
Step 120, if the working mode in the first mode switching instruction is not matched with the candidate working mode of the air conditioner, sending out a misoperation prompt message of the working mode to the user. The candidate working mode is determined based on at least one of indoor air parameters and outdoor air parameters of a room where the air conditioner is located and the working mode of the air conditioner before receiving the first mode switching instruction.
Specifically, a user may have a situation of misoperation while controlling the air conditioner. For example, when the air conditioner is used in winter, the air conditioner is in a heating mode. The user expects to improve the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner, but carelessly misoperates on the remote controller, switches the working mode to the refrigerating mode, and when the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner is cold air, the user responds to the cold air, and switches the refrigerating mode to the heating mode. In the process, the air conditioner is subjected to heating, refrigerating and reheating in a short time, and the working modes are frequently switched, so that the compressor and other parts of the air conditioner are easy to damage, and bad use experience is brought to users.
Therefore, it is possible to determine a mode in which the air conditioner is suitably operated in the current state as a candidate operation mode. The candidate working mode can be used for carrying out misoperation judgment on the working mode of the air conditioner and determining whether the user carries out misoperation or not. The candidate operation modes may be one or more.
The candidate operation mode may be determined according to an indoor air parameter and an outdoor air parameter of a room in which the air conditioner is located, and an operation mode of the air conditioner before receiving the first mode switching instruction. Here, the air parameter is a parameter describing the breathing quality of air. For example, the air parameters may include temperature, humidity, oxygen content, dust content, and the like. An air quality detector can be arranged on an indoor unit of the air conditioner and used for detecting indoor air parameters of a room where the air conditioner is positioned; an air quality detector is arranged on an outdoor unit of the air conditioner and is used for detecting outdoor air parameters of a room where the air conditioner is located.
For example, if the temperature in the outdoor air parameter of the room in which the air conditioner is located is greater than the temperature in the indoor air parameter, it indicates that the outdoor is a high temperature environment, the air conditioner should not be in a heating mode, and the candidate operation mode of the air conditioner may be a cooling mode. For another example, if the operation mode of the air conditioner before receiving the first mode switching instruction is the self-cleaning mode, it indicates that the air conditioner has performed self-cleaning, and it is not necessary to repeat the self-cleaning, and the candidate operation mode of the air conditioner may be an operation mode other than the self-cleaning mode.
The control system of the air conditioner judges a first mode switching instruction input by a user, and if the working mode in the first mode switching instruction is not matched with the candidate working mode of the air conditioner, the control system of the air conditioner indicates that the user is likely to perform misoperation, and then working mode misoperation prompt information is sent to the user.
The misoperation prompt information of the working mode can prompt the user in the modes of lamplight flickering, voice playing, text displaying, message pushing and the like.
And 130, acquiring a second mode switching instruction input by a user based on the misoperation prompt information of the working mode, and controlling the air conditioner based on the working mode in the second mode switching instruction.
Specifically, the second mode switching instruction is made by the user after receiving the operation mode misoperation prompt information, so that the user will be considered to be correctly expressed, and the control system of the air conditioner controls the air conditioner in the operation mode in the second mode switching instruction.
According to the air conditioner misoperation prevention method provided by the embodiment of the invention, a first mode switching instruction input by a user to the air conditioner is acquired; if the working mode in the first mode switching instruction is not matched with the candidate working mode of the air conditioner, sending out a misoperation prompt message of the working mode to a user; acquiring a second mode switching instruction input by a user based on the misoperation prompt information of the working mode, and controlling the air conditioner based on the working mode in the second mode switching instruction; the candidate working mode is determined based on at least one of the indoor air parameter and the outdoor air parameter of the room in which the air conditioner is located and the working mode of the air conditioner before the air conditioner receives the first mode switching instruction, and can be used for carrying out misoperation judgment on the mode switching instruction input by the user, so that the condition that the working mode of the air conditioner does not meet the user expectations due to misoperation of the user is avoided, the condition that the air conditioner fails due to misoperation of the user is avoided, and the use experience of the user is improved.
Based on the above embodiment, step 120 includes:
if the working mode in the first mode switching instruction is not matched with the candidate working mode of the air conditioner, controlling the air conditioner to operate in the working mode before receiving the first mode switching instruction within a preset duration;
if a third mode switching instruction input by the user to the air conditioner is not acquired within the preset time, sending out working mode misoperation prompt information to the user.
Specifically, when the operation mode in the first mode switching command does not match with the candidate operation mode of the air conditioner, it may happen that the user knows that the user performs the misoperation, and may immediately input the third mode switching command for correction.
The preset duration can be set, and the control system of the air conditioner controls the air conditioner to operate in the working mode before receiving the first mode switching instruction, so that misoperation prompt information of the working mode does not need to be sent to a user immediately. The preset duration is set to be beneficial to leaving time for the user to automatically correct the working mode of the air conditioner. Meanwhile, the air conditioner is controlled to run in the working mode before the first mode switching instruction is received within the preset time, the working mode of the air conditioner is temporarily switched to the working mode in the first mode switching instruction, and the air conditioner is prevented from being unnecessarily switched to damage parts such as a compressor. The preset time period may be set as needed, for example, 3 to 5 seconds, etc.
If the third mode switching instruction input by the user to the air conditioner is not acquired within the preset time, the user is not aware that the user performs misoperation possibly, and at the moment, working mode misoperation prompt information is sent to the user.
Based on any of the foregoing embodiments, after controlling the air conditioner to operate in the operation mode before receiving the first mode switching instruction within the preset time period, the method further includes:
and if a third mode switching instruction input by the user to the air conditioner is acquired within the preset time period and the working mode in the third mode switching instruction is matched with the candidate working mode, controlling the air conditioner based on the working mode in the third mode switching instruction.
Specifically, if a third mode switching instruction input by the user to the air conditioner is obtained within a preset duration, and the working mode in the third mode switching instruction is matched with the candidate working mode, the third mode switching instruction is indicated to be the correction of misoperation (the first mode switching instruction) sent by the user, and can be considered to be the correct expression of the user wish, and the control system of the air conditioner controls the air conditioner in the working mode in the third mode switching instruction.
Based on any of the above embodiments, the candidate operating mode is determined based on the steps of:
acquiring indoor air parameters and outdoor air parameters of a room where an air conditioner is located;
if the air temperature in the outdoor air parameter is higher than a preset high-temperature threshold value, determining that the candidate working mode is a refrigeration mode;
if the air temperature in the outdoor air parameter is lower than a preset low-temperature threshold value, determining that the candidate working mode is a heating mode;
and if the air quality index in the outdoor air parameter is lower than the air quality index in the indoor air parameter, determining that the candidate working mode is a fresh air mode.
Specifically, the indoor air parameter and the outdoor air parameter may be acquired through air quality detectors provided on an indoor unit and an outdoor unit of the air conditioner, respectively.
And if the air temperature in the outdoor air parameter is higher than a preset high-temperature threshold value, indicating that the current weather is hot, determining that the candidate working mode of the air conditioner under the current condition is a refrigeration mode. The preset high temperature threshold may be set as desired, for example 20 degrees celsius.
And if the air temperature in the outdoor air parameter is lower than a preset low-temperature threshold value, indicating that the current weather is cold, determining that the candidate working mode of the air conditioner under the current condition is a heating mode. The preset low temperature threshold may be set as desired, for example 5 degrees celsius.
And if the air quality index (Air Quality Index, AQI) in the outdoor air parameter is lower than the air quality index in the indoor air parameter, determining that the candidate working mode of the air conditioner under the current condition is a fresh air mode.
