For example, if the temperature value is obtained and the adjustment interval is set, for example, after the air conditioner 1 is turned on, the temperature at the time of turning on is 20 degrees celsius, and then the temperature is adjusted to 22 degrees celsius, and the adjustment interval is 6 minutes; after the operation is carried out for 15 minutes, the current temperature is adjusted to 25 ℃ from 22 ℃, and the adjustment interval is 32 minutes;
after the air conditioner 2 is started, the temperature at the starting time is 18 ℃, then the temperature is adjusted to 22 ℃, and the adjustment interval is 6 minutes; after the operation is carried out for 20 minutes, the current temperature is adjusted to 25 ℃ from 20 ℃, and the adjustment interval is 20 minutes;
after the air conditioner 3 is started, the temperature at the starting time is 17 ℃, then the temperature is adjusted to 20 ℃, and the adjustment interval is set to be 6 minutes; after the operation is carried out for 20 minutes, the current temperature is adjusted to 24 ℃ from 20 ℃, and the adjustment interval is set to be 20 minutes.

according to the above example, only the temperature value and the setting adjustment interval are included in the configuration information as an example.
After the temperature of 5 air conditioners is adjusted for the first time, the temperature value is set to be 22 ℃ for 3 times, the temperature value is set to be 20 ℃ for 1 time, and the temperature value is set to be 21 ℃ for 1 time; 3 times in 6 minutes, 1 time in 30 minutes, 1 time in 56 minutes;

step S402, counting the number of times of adjusting intervals in the air conditioners with the same area attribute every time setting adjustment is carried out.
Step S305, determining first intermediate configuration information based on the temperature value with the maximum set times, the wind gear value and the wind sweeping mode code;
since only the temperature value is included in the configuration information, for example, the number of times of 22 degrees celsius is the largest when the temperature is adjusted for the first time, and thus 22 degrees celsius may be the first intermediate configuration information when the temperature is adjusted for the first time;
the number of times of 25 degrees celsius is the largest when the temperature is adjusted for the second time, and thus 25 degrees celsius may be the first intermediate configuration information at the time of the second adjustment.

for example, the number of times of 6 minutes is the largest when the temperature is adjusted for the first time, so the second intermediate configuration information may be that the first adjustment is started after 6 minutes, and the first adjustment takes 6 minutes;
since the number of times of 20 minutes is the largest in the second adjustment of the temperature, the second intermediate configuration information may be such that the second adjustment is started after 20 minutes has elapsed from the end of the first adjustment of the temperature, and the second adjustment takes 20 minutes.
As shown in fig. 5, determining the second intermediate configuration information based on the set adjustment interval with the largest number of occurrences may include the steps of:
step S501, determining a set adjustment interval with the largest occurrence frequency when setting adjustment is performed each time;
step S502, determining second intermediate configuration information based on a setting adjustment interval when the setting adjustment is performed each time before the air conditioner is turned off.

Step S308, establishing a corresponding relation between the region attribute and the general configuration information, and storing the corresponding relation in a general configuration database.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the general configuration information of each group of air conditioners with the same area attribute is generated according to the first intermediate configuration information and the second intermediate configuration information, so that the air conditioners can work according to the general configuration information of the areas where the air conditioners are located, further, the air conditioner configuration information can be prevented from being continuously adjusted by a user, the use of the user is facilitated, and the time of the user is saved.

The initial setting parameter 25 degrees celsius of the user 0 is compared with the 24 degrees celsius with the highest proportion, and since 25 degrees celsius is less than 24 degrees celsius, 24 degrees celsius is set as the starting parameter corresponding to the general information acquisition instruction.
If the initial setting parameter of the user 0 is 24 degrees celsius and then the comparison is performed with 24 degrees celsius having the highest ratio, since 24 degrees celsius is 24 degrees celsius, 24 degrees celsius is set as the start parameter corresponding to the general information acquisition instruction.
Therefore, after receiving a general information acquisition instruction sent by an air conditioner, acquiring initial setting parameters of the air conditioner at the starting time, counting historical initial setting parameters of all users in a corresponding database, determining the historical initial setting parameters with the highest ratio, judging whether the initial setting parameters are equal to the historical initial setting parameters, if not, setting the historical initial setting parameters at 24 ℃ as the starting parameters of a mode corresponding to the general information acquisition instruction, and sending the starting parameters to the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner is directly adjusted to the starting parameters from the current parameters and then operates according to general configuration information;
if the current parameter is equal to the historical initial setting parameter, setting the initial setting parameter at 24 ℃ as a starting parameter of a mode corresponding to the general information acquisition instruction, so that the current parameter of the air conditioner is the starting parameter, and then operating according to general configuration information.
