Alternatively, the air conditioner may also receive an operation instruction of the first device transmitted by the mobile terminal through the communication unit 8 and transmit the operation instruction to the first device. The mobile terminal displays the equipment list, receives touch operation of a user on first equipment contained in the equipment list, generates an operation instruction of the first equipment, and sends the operation instruction to second equipment through the mobile terminal. And the second equipment receives the operation instruction sent by the mobile terminal. Therefore, the user can directly operate on the mobile terminal of the user without operating on the second device, and the control of the user on the household appliance is not limited by time and space.

In the embodiment of the application, household appliances owned by a user can be grouped according to families, a family list is set, the corresponding relation between first account information and the family list is stored in a server through a mobile terminal, the family list comprises one or more family numbers, and each family number is associated with one device list.

For the case where the family list is set, the air conditioner first determines the family list to which the air conditioner is associated through the controller 6; and then, displaying the family list through the man-machine interaction unit 7, responding to the touch operation of the user for the family number in the family list, displaying the equipment list corresponding to the family number, and determining the equipment identifier of the first equipment selected by the user in the displayed equipment list in a touch mode. Then, an equipment control interface of the first equipment is displayed, a touch operation generated on the equipment control interface by a user is responded, an operation instruction of the first equipment is generated, and the operation instruction is sent to the first equipment through the communication unit 8.

When the man-machine interaction unit 7 displays the family list, all family numbers included in the family list can be displayed at the same time. The family list can also be displayed in a drop-down list form, when the drop-down list form is adopted, only one family number included in the family list can be displayed, and when the drop-down touch operation of the user on the drop-down list is detected, other family numbers included in the family list are displayed. The family list can be displayed in a scroll bar mode, when the scroll bar mode is adopted, only one or more family numbers included in the family list can be displayed, and when scroll touch operation of the scroll bar by a user is detected, other family numbers included in the family list are displayed.

The household switching function is provided for the user by setting the household list, and the user can control a plurality of first devices in households in different geographic positions through one air conditioner, so that the control efficiency of household appliances is improved.

In order to more intuitively embody the above-described process of generating the operation instruction of the first device, the following description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in fig. 4, the human-computer interaction unit 7 displays an equipment interface, on the left side of which two family numbers, i.e., family 1 and family 2, are displayed, and a trigger button "more" for displaying more family numbers is displayed, and a user can view other family numbers by clicking the trigger button "more". The device list including a plurality of device identifiers is displayed on the right side of the family list interface, and the currently displayed device identifiers can be device identifiers of household appliances frequently used by the user or device identifiers randomly selected and displayed from device identifiers corresponding to all family numbers. When the human-computer interaction unit 7 detects a touch operation of a user on a certain home number, for example, detects a touch operation of the user on the home 1, a device interface as shown in fig. 5 is displayed, in the device interface, a device list displayed on the right side is a device identifier of a home device associated with the home 1, and the device list displayed in fig. 5 includes "humidifier 1", "dehumidifier 2", and "fan 3".
