Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a remote controller according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the remote control 100 includes: a judging unit 110 and a first control unit 120.

The determining unit 110 is configured to determine whether the remote controller 100 satisfies a first preset condition.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the first preset condition includes, for example: a preset key of the remote controller 100 is triggered; alternatively, a preset key of the remote control 100 is triggered, and a preset chip port jumper of the remote control 100 is disconnected. The preset keys are, for example, dedicated single keys or combination keys provided on the remote control 100. And, when the preset key of the remote controller 100 is triggered, judging that the remote controller 100 meets the first preset condition; or, when the preset key of the remote controller 100 is triggered and the jumper of the preset chip port of the remote controller 100 is disconnected, it is determined that the remote controller 100 satisfies the first preset condition.

That is, a dedicated single key or a dedicated combination key on the remote controller 100 may be triggered (e.g., pressed) as a condition for the remote controller 100 to enter the code-sending verification mode change mode, so that the code-sending verification mode change mode is easier to enter, and the remote controller 100 may recover to the default verification mode after being powered on again.

Alternatively, the default chip port jumper off state of the remote control 100 and a dedicated single key or combination key on the remote control 100 may be triggered (e.g., pressed) and used as a condition for the remote control 100 to enter the code-sending verification mode change mode, so as to adapt to permanent verification mode change.

The first control unit 120 is connected to the determining unit 110, and configured to control the remote controller 100 to enter a code sending verification mode change mode when the remote controller 100 meets a first preset condition, send a specific infrared signal to the air conditioner in the code sending verification mode change mode, and match and connect with the air conditioner after the air conditioner passes analysis and verification on the specific infrared signal.

Specifically, when a dedicated single key or combination of keys on the remote control 100 is activated (e.g., pressed), alternatively, when the default chipset port jumper off state of the remote control 100 and a dedicated single key or combination key on the remote control 100 is triggered (e.g., pressed), the remote control 100 enters the code-sending check mode change mode, when the remote controller 100 enters a code sending verification mode changing mode, a specific infrared signal is sent to the air conditioner, the air conditioner analyzes and verifies the specific infrared signal, after the specific infrared signal passes the analysis and verification, the remote controller 100 is connected with the air conditioner in a matching way, the one-to-one control mode between the remote controller 100 and the air conditioner can be realized, the accuracy of controlling the air conditioner is improved, the control signal of one remote controller 100 is prevented from interfering the running states of a plurality of air conditioners, the trouble caused by the remote controller to a user is avoided, the extra cost is not required, and the user experience is improved.

In a specific example, the code transmission Check is performed by transmitting a Check code such as a specific remote control code or a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) code.

Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, in the code sending verification mode, the first control unit 120 is specifically configured to: adding N to the checksum in the first array storing the code sending content, and adding the sign information of the code sending check mode change in the first array to obtain a second array, wherein N is a natural number which is not 0; and sending all contents in the second array to the air conditioner in a specific infrared signal.

In a particular embodiment, N is, for example, but not limited to, 1. Specifically, the checksum in the first array storing the code content is added with 1, and the flag information indicating that the code verification method has been changed is added in the first array, and the changed array is referred to as the second array, so that, after the operation of changing the code sending verification mode is completed, all the contents stored in the second array are sent to the air conditioner through specific infrared signals, so that the air conditioner can analyze and check the specific infrared signal, after the analysis and check are passed, the air conditioner is matched and connected with the remote controller 100, thereby realize the control mode one to one between remote controller and the air conditioner, promoted the accuracy to the air conditioner control, prevent that the control signal of a remote controller from producing the running state of a plurality of air conditioners and disturbing, avoid the puzzlement that leads to the fact the user from this, and need not additionally increase the cost to promote user experience.

In an embodiment of the present invention, after sending all the contents in the second array to the air conditioner with a specific infrared signal, the first control unit 120 is further configured to: when any key of the air conditioner is triggered and the air conditioner meets a second preset condition, adding N to the checksum in the second array to obtain a third array; and sending all contents in the third array to the air conditioner in a specific infrared signal.

Wherein the second preset condition comprises: the preset chip port jumper of the remote control 100 is disconnected.

In a particular embodiment, N is, for example, but not limited to, 1. Specifically, after the operation of changing the code sending verification mode is completed, that is, after all the contents in the second array are sent to the air conditioner as the specific infrared signals, and when the remote controller 100 is operated at a later stage, only the jumper state of the specific chip port needs to be judged before the specific infrared signals are sent each time, and if the jumper of the specific chip port is in the off state, the corresponding checksum in the current array is added by 1. In this way, the checksum in the specific infrared signal transmitted after the code transmission verification mode change operation is performed by the same key of the same remote controller 100 is greater than 1 with respect to the value of the specific infrared signal transmitted after the code transmission verification mode change operation is not performed.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the specific control flow of the remote control 100 can be summarized as follows: when the remote controller 100 runs at low power consumption, if a special key or a combined key of the remote controller 100 is pressed down, or the special key or the combined key of the remote controller 100 is pressed down and a jumper wire of a specific chip port is disconnected, adding 1 to a checksum in an array for storing code sending contents, adding flag information with a changed code sending verification mode to the array, sending the changed array contents to an air conditioner through a specific infrared signal, at the moment, the remote controller 100 enters a waiting state, further, if any key of the remote controller 100 is pressed down, judging whether the jumper wire of the specific chip port is disconnected, if not, directly sending the remote control signal to the air conditioner without adding 1 to the checksum of the array; if yes, the check sum in the array storing the code sending content is added with 1 and then is sent to the air conditioner through a specific infrared signal.

Further, after the air conditioner receives the specific infrared signal loaded with the sign information with the changed code sending verification mode, the air conditioner firstly analyzes the specific infrared signal and judges whether the specific infrared signal contains the sign information with the changed code sending verification mode; if the specific infrared signal includes the flag information whose code sending verification mode has been changed, the flag variable corresponding to the flag information whose code sending verification mode has been changed is set to 1, and the flag variable is stored in an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory) of the air conditioner, so that matching with the remote controller 100 is completed.

Further, the air conditioner calculates a checksum according to the specific infrared signal received this time, determines whether the flag variable that the code sending check mode has been changed is 1, if the flag variable is 1, adds 1 to the calculated checksum, and finally compares the checksum after the operation of adding 1 with the checksum in the specific infrared signal, if the two are equal, the air conditioner responds to the related remote control instruction sent by the remote controller 100, that is, the air conditioner executes the action corresponding to the remote control instruction sent by the remote controller 100. Such as: adjusting the operation mode, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, etc. of the air conditioner. Otherwise, that is, the two are equal, the air conditioner does not respond to the related remote control instruction sent by the remote controller 100, that is, the air conditioner does not execute the action corresponding to the remote control instruction sent by the remote controller 100.

Further, after completing the matching with the remote controller 100, the air conditioner in the later stage receives any remote control signal, and determines the value of the flag variable, if the flag variable value is 1, the check sum of the signal is calculated and the operation of adding 1 is executed, and then the check sum is compared with the check sum in the remote control signal, if the remote control signal is not from the matching remote controller, the check sum finally calculated by the air conditioner is 1 larger than the check sum in the remote control signal of the non-matching remote controller, but not equal, therefore, the air conditioner does not respond as an error signal.

The sign variable with the changed code sending check mode is stored in the EEPROM of the air conditioner, so that one-to-one control of the air conditioner and the matched remote controller can still be realized after the air conditioner is powered off and restarted.

To sum up, in the embodiment of the present invention, the condition that the remote controller 100 enters the code sending verification mode change mode is set as that the special key or the combination key of the remote controller 100 is pressed, or the special key or the combination key of the remote controller is pressed and the jumper wire of the chip port is disconnected; the method comprises the steps that a specific infrared signal containing sign information with a code sending check mode changed is sent through a remote controller 100, and after the specific infrared signal is received and correctly analyzed by a corresponding air conditioner, a corresponding sign variable is set to be 1, so that the remote controller 100 is connected with the air conditioner in a matching mode; the remote controller 100 performs 1 operation on the checksum in the specific infrared signal, and performs 1 operation after the matching air conditioner analyzes the specific infrared signal sent by the remote controller 100 and calculates the checksum, so that the air conditioner can successfully check after receiving the specific infrared signal sent by the matching remote controller and performs a remote control instruction sent by the remote controller 100. And to unmatched remote control signal, the check sum that the air conditioner finally calculates and obtains differs 1 with the check sum of unmatched remote control signal, thereby lead to the check failure, the air conditioner does not carry out this remote control instruction, finally realize the one-to-one control of matching remote controller 100 and air conditioner, thereby promoted the accuracy to the air conditioner control, prevent that the control signal of a remote controller from producing the interference to the running state of a plurality of air conditioners, avoid from this the puzzlement that causes the user, and need not additionally increase the cost, thereby promote user experience.

An embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner, for example, an air conditioner related to the remote controller 100 described in any of the above embodiments of the present invention, and for a detailed description of a remote controller related to the following, please refer to a description part related to the remote controller 100 in the foregoing embodiments, which is not described herein again.

Specifically, fig. 3 is a structural air conditioner of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the air conditioner 200 includes: a receiving unit 210 and a second control unit 220.

The receiving unit 210 is configured to receive a specific infrared signal sent by a remote controller, where the specific infrared signal is sent by the remote controller in a code sending verification mode when the specific infrared signal meets a first preset condition. The remote controller is, for example, the remote controller 100 described in any of the above embodiments of the present invention.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the first preset condition includes, for example: triggering a preset key of the remote controller; or, a preset key of the remote controller is triggered, and a preset chip port jumper of the remote controller is disconnected. The preset key is, for example, a dedicated single key or a combination key arranged on the remote controller. And when the preset key of the remote controller is triggered, judging that the remote controller meets a first preset condition; or when a preset key of the remote controller is triggered and a preset chip port jumper of the remote controller is disconnected, judging that the remote controller meets a first preset condition.

The second control unit 220 is connected to the receiving unit 210, and is configured to perform analysis and verification on the specific infrared signal, and after the analysis and verification pass, connect to the remote controller in a matching manner.

In particular, when a special single key or a combination key on the remote controller is triggered (e.g. pressed), or when the preset chip port jumper wire of the remote controller is in an off state and a special single key or a combined key on the remote controller is triggered (such as pressed), the remote controller enters a code sending verification mode change mode, when the remote controller enters a code sending verification mode changing mode, a specific infrared signal is sent to the air conditioner 200, the air conditioner 200 analyzes and verifies the specific infrared signal, after the specific infrared signal passes the analysis and verification, the remote controller is connected with the air conditioner 200 in a matching way, the one-to-one control mode between the remote controller and the air conditioner 200 can be realized, the accuracy of controlling the air conditioner 200 is improved, the control signal of one remote controller is prevented from interfering the running states of a plurality of air conditioners 200, the trouble caused to a user is avoided, the extra cost is not required, and the user experience is improved.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the second control unit 220 is specifically configured to: judging whether the specific remote control signal contains the sign information of the change of the code sending verification mode; if so, setting 1 to the variable corresponding to the mark information changed by the code sending verification mode, and storing the variable in a preset memory to complete the matching connection with the remote controller.

In a specific example, the preset memory is, for example, an EEPROM of the air conditioner 200. Therefore, the sign variable with the changed code sending verification mode is stored in the EEPROM of the air conditioner 200, and after the air conditioner 200 is powered off and restarted, one-to-one control of the air conditioner 200 and the matched remote controller can still be realized.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the second control unit 220 is further configured to: calculating a first checksum according to the specific infrared signal; if the variable corresponding to the mark information of which the code sending check mode is changed is judged to be 1, adding N to the first check sum to obtain a second check sum, wherein N is a natural number; if the second checksum is equal to the checksum included in the specific infrared signal, the air conditioner 200 responds to the remote control instruction sent by the remote controller, otherwise, the air conditioner 200 does not respond to the remote control instruction sent by the remote controller.

In a particular embodiment, N is, for example, but not limited to, 1. Specifically, after receiving the specific infrared signal loaded with the flag information that the code sending verification mode has been changed, the air conditioner 200 analyzes the specific infrared signal first, and determines whether the specific infrared signal contains the flag information that the code sending verification mode has been changed; if the specific infrared signal contains the sign information with the changed code sending check mode, the sign variable corresponding to the sign information with the changed code sending check mode is set to be 1, and the sign variable is stored in the EEPROM of the air conditioner 200, so that the matching with the remote controller is completed.

Further, the air conditioner 200 calculates a checksum (i.e., a first checksum) according to the specific infrared signal received this time, determines whether the flag variable in which the code transmission check mode is changed is 1, adds 1 to the calculated checksum if the flag variable is 1, compares the checksum (i.e., a second checksum) after the operation of adding 1 with the checksum in the specific infrared signal, and if the two are equal, the air conditioner 200 responds to a related remote control instruction sent by the remote controller, i.e., the air conditioner 200 executes an action corresponding to the remote control instruction sent by the remote controller. Such as: the operation mode, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, etc. of the air conditioner 200 are adjusted. Otherwise, that is, the two are equal, the air conditioner 200 does not respond to the related remote control instruction sent by the remote controller, that is, the air conditioner 200 does not execute the action corresponding to the remote control instruction sent by the remote controller.

Further, after the matching with the remote controller is completed, the later-stage air conditioner 200 receives any remote control signal, and determines the value of the flag variable, if the value of the flag variable is 1, the later-stage air conditioner calculates the signal checksum and performs the operation of adding 1, and then compares the calculated signal checksum with the checksum in the remote control signal, if the remote control signal is not from the matching remote controller, the checksum finally calculated by the air conditioner 200 is 1 larger than the checksum in the remote control signal of the non-matching remote controller, but is not equal, so that the air conditioner 200 does not respond if the remote control signal is an error signal.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the specific control flow of the air conditioner 200 can be summarized as follows: in the operation process of the air conditioner 200, if a specific infrared signal containing identification information with a changed code sending verification mode is received, a flag variable corresponding to the flag information with the changed code sending verification mode is set to be 1, and the flag variable is stored in an E-side memory (EEPROM) of the air conditioner 200, so that the matching connection with the remote controller is completed. Further, judging whether the sign variable value of which the code sending verification mode is changed is 1, if so, calculating the checksum of the specific infrared signal and performing 1 adding operation, and taking the calculation result after the 1 adding operation as the final checksum; judging whether the final checksum calculated by the air conditioner 200 is equal to the checksum in the specific infrared signal; if not, the air conditioner 200 considers that the specific infrared signal is an error signal, and does not respond to any remote control instruction of the remote controller; if yes, namely the two checksums are equal, the buzzer of the air conditioner 200 sounds one sound, and meanwhile, the air conditioner 200 responds to the related remote control instruction sent by the remote controller to execute the corresponding action. Further, whether other remote control signals are received or not is judged, and if not, the air conditioner 200 keeps running at the current state; if yes, the received remote control signal is analyzed and checked, that is, whether the flag variable of which the code sending checking mode is changed is 1 is judged, and the above process is repeatedly executed to determine whether to respond to the remote control instruction of the remote controller, which is not repeated.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, the condition that the remote controller enters the code sending verification mode to change the mode is set as the condition that the remote controller is pressed down, or the remote controller is pressed down and the chip port jumper is disconnected; the specific infrared signal containing the sign information with the changed code sending verification mode is sent by the remote controller, and meanwhile, after the specific infrared signal is received and correctly analyzed by the corresponding air conditioner 200, the corresponding sign variable is set to be 1, so that the matching connection between the remote controller and the air conditioner 200 is realized; the operation of adding 1 is executed by the remote controller for the checksum in the specific infrared signal, and the operation of adding 1 is executed after the matching air conditioner 200 analyzes the specific infrared signal sent by the remote controller and calculates the checksum, so that the air conditioner 200 can successfully check after receiving the specific infrared signal sent by the matching remote controller, and execute the remote control instruction sent by the remote controller.

Specifically, fig. 5 is a flowchart of an air conditioner remote control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the air conditioner remote control method applied to the remote controller includes the following steps:

step S101: and judging whether the remote controller meets a first preset condition.

That is, a dedicated single key or a dedicated combination key on the remote controller may be triggered (e.g., pressed) as a condition for the remote controller to enter the code-sending verification mode change mode, so that the code-sending verification mode change mode is more easily entered, and the remote controller may be restored to the default verification mode after being powered on again.

Or, the preset chip port jumper disconnection state of the remote controller and a special single key or a combined key on the remote controller can be triggered (for example, pressed) and simultaneously used as a condition for the remote controller to enter a code sending verification mode changing mode, so that the method is suitable for permanent verification mode changing.

Step S102: if the remote controller meets the first preset condition, the remote controller enters a code sending verification mode changing mode, sends a specific infrared signal to the air conditioner in the code sending verification mode changing mode, and is connected with the air conditioner in a matching mode after the specific infrared signal is analyzed and verified by the air conditioner.

Specifically, when a special single key or a combination key on the remote controller is triggered (pressed), or when a preset chip port jumper wire off state of the remote controller and the special single key or the combination key on the remote controller are triggered (pressed), the remote controller enters a code sending verification mode change mode, when the remote controller enters the code sending verification mode change mode, a specific infrared signal is sent to the air conditioner, the air conditioner analyzes and verifies the specific infrared signal, after the specific infrared signal passes the specific infrared signal, the remote controller is connected with the air conditioner in a matching mode, a one-to-one control mode between the remote controller and the air conditioner can be realized, the accuracy of controlling the air conditioner is improved, the control signal of one remote controller is prevented from interfering with the running states of a plurality of air conditioners, the trouble caused by the control signal of one remote controller to a user is avoided, extra cost is not required, and the user experience is improved.

Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, in the mode of changing the code sending verification method, the method includes: adding N to the checksum in the first array storing the code sending content, and adding the sign information of the code sending check mode change in the first array to obtain a second array, wherein N is a natural number; and sending all contents in the second array to the air conditioner in a specific infrared signal.

In a particular embodiment, N is, for example, but not limited to, 1. Specifically, the operation of adding 1 to the checksum in the first array storing the code sending content is performed, meanwhile, the flag information that the code sending verification mode has been changed is added to the first array, the changed array can be called as a second array, therefore, after the operation of changing the code sending verification mode is completed, all the content stored in the second array is sent to the air conditioner through specific infrared signals, so that the air conditioner can analyze and verify the specific infrared signals, and after the analysis and verification are passed, the remote controller is connected with the remote controller in a matching mode, so that the one-to-one control mode between the remote controller and the air conditioner is realized, the accuracy of controlling the air conditioner is improved, the control signal of one remote controller is prevented from interfering with the operation states of a plurality of air conditioners, the trouble caused by the control signal to the users is avoided, and the extra cost is not required, and the user experience is improved.

In one embodiment of the present invention, after transmitting all contents in the second array to the air conditioner as the specific infrared signal, the method further comprises: when any key of the air conditioner is triggered and the air conditioner meets a second preset condition, adding N to the checksum in the second array to obtain a third array; and sending all contents in the third array to the air conditioner in a specific infrared signal.

Wherein the second preset condition comprises: and the jumper wire of the preset chip port of the remote controller is disconnected.

In a particular embodiment, N is, for example, but not limited to, 1. Specifically, after the operation of changing the code sending verification mode is completed, that is, after all the contents in the second array are sent to the air conditioner by the specific infrared signal, and when the remote controller is operated at a later stage, the state of the jumper wire of the specific chip port is only needed to be judged before the specific infrared signal is sent each time, and if the jumper wire of the specific chip port is in a disconnected state, the corresponding verification sum in the current array is added by 1. Thus, the specific infrared signal sent after the code sending verification mode changing operation is executed according to the same key of the same remote controller, compared with the remote control signal without the code sending verification mode changing operation, the verification sum in the former signal is larger than the value of the latter signal by 1.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the control flow of the air conditioner control method applied to the remote controller may be summarized as follows: when the remote controller runs at low power consumption, if a special key or a combined key of the remote controller is pressed down, or the special key or the combined key of the remote controller is pressed down and a jumper wire of a specific chip port is disconnected, adding 1 to a checksum in an array for storing code sending contents, simultaneously adding flag information with a changed code sending verification mode in the array, sending the changed array contents to an air conditioner through a specific infrared signal, at the moment, the remote controller enters a waiting state, further, if any key of the remote controller is pressed down, judging whether the jumper wire of the specific chip port is disconnected, if not, judging whether the checksum of the array is disconnected or not adding 1, and directly sending a remote control signal to the air conditioner; if yes, the check sum in the array storing the code sending content is added with 1 and then is sent to the air conditioner through a specific infrared signal.

Further, after the air conditioner receives the specific infrared signal loaded with the sign information with the changed code sending verification mode, the air conditioner firstly analyzes the specific infrared signal and judges whether the specific infrared signal contains the sign information with the changed code sending verification mode; if the specific infrared signal contains the mark information with the changed code sending check mode, the mark variable corresponding to the mark information with the changed code sending check mode is set to be 1, and the mark variable is stored in the EEPROM of the air conditioner, so that the matching with the remote controller is completed.

Further, the air conditioner calculates a checksum according to the specific infrared signal received this time, and determines whether the flag variable in which the code sending check mode has been changed is 1, if the flag variable is 1, the calculated checksum is added by 1, and finally the checksum after the operation of adding 1 is compared with the checksum in the specific infrared signal, and if the two are equal, the air conditioner responds to the related remote control instruction sent by the remote controller, that is, the air conditioner executes the action corresponding to the remote control instruction sent by the remote controller. Such as: adjusting the operation mode, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, etc. of the air conditioner. Otherwise, the two are equal, the air conditioner does not respond to the related remote control instruction sent by the remote controller, namely the air conditioner does not execute the action corresponding to the remote control instruction sent by the remote controller.

Further, after the matching with the remote controller is completed, the later-stage air conditioner receives any remote control signal, the value of the mark variable is judged, if the value of the mark variable is 1, the check sum of the signal is calculated and the operation of adding 1 is executed, and then the check sum is compared with the check sum in the remote control signal, if the remote control signal does not come from the matched remote controller, the check sum finally calculated by the air conditioner is 1 larger than the check sum in the remote control signal of the non-matched remote controller, but not equal, therefore, the air conditioner does not respond as an error signal.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, the condition that the remote controller enters the code sending verification mode to change the mode is set as the condition that the remote controller is pressed down, or the remote controller is pressed down and the chip port jumper is disconnected; sending a specific infrared signal containing the sign information of which the code sending verification mode is changed through a remote controller, and setting a corresponding sign variable to be 1 after the specific infrared signal is received and correctly analyzed by a corresponding air conditioner so as to realize the matching connection of the remote controller and the air conditioner; the operation of 1 is executed by the remote controller for the addition of the check sum in the specific infrared signal, and the operation of 1 addition is carried out after the matching air conditioner analyzes the specific infrared signal sent by the remote controller and calculates the check sum, so that the air conditioner can successfully check after receiving the specific infrared signal sent by the matching remote controller, and a remote control instruction sent by the remote controller is executed. And to unmatched remote control signal, the check sum that the air conditioner final calculation obtained differs 1 with the check sum of unmatched remote control signal to lead to the check failure, the air conditioner does not carry out this remote control instruction, the one-to-one control of matching remote controller and air conditioner is finally realized, thereby the accuracy to the air conditioner control has been promoted, prevent that the control signal of a remote controller from producing the interference to the running state of a plurality of air conditioners, avoid from this the puzzlement that causes the user, and need not additionally increase the cost, thereby promote user experience.
