In one embodiment, the backend server may be configured to update the second correspondence between the third identifier, the second identifier, and the first identifier by performing the following operations:
judging whether a second corresponding relation to which the first identification code received currently belongs exists in a second corresponding relation stored currently by the background server or not according to the first identification code received currently by the background server; and if the second corresponding relationship currently stored does not have the second corresponding relationship to which the first identification code currently received by the background server belongs, establishing and storing the corresponding second corresponding relationship according to the first identification code currently received by the background server, the second identification code in the relevant state parameter and the third identification code of the multi-split air-conditioning subsystem to which the Internet of things communication equipment belongs, which corresponds to the relevant state parameter.
An example is as follows: the second correspondence currently stored by the backend server includes System 1: (SN1+ IMEI1) and System 1: (SN2+ IMEI1), the state parameters corresponding to the indoor unit 3 sent by the internet of things communication device 1 currently received by the background server include a second identification code IMEI1 of the internet of things communication device 1 and a first identification code SN3 of the indoor unit 3, where the multi-split air-conditioning subsystem to which the internet of things communication device 1 belongs is the multi-split air-conditioning subsystem 1, and the third identification code of the multi-split air-conditioning subsystem 1 is System 1. After determining that there is no second corresponding relationship to which the first identification code SN3 belongs in the second corresponding relationship currently stored by the background server, indicating that the indoor unit 3 is a newly added indoor unit in the multi-split air conditioning subsystem 1, the second corresponding relationship established and stored for the indoor unit 3 according to the first identification code SN3, the second identification code IMEI1 and the third identification code System1 is System 1: (SN3+ IMEI1), namely when a new indoor/outdoor unit is added to the system, the background server can automatically store the identification code of the newly added indoor/outdoor unit, the communication equipment of the Internet of things accessed by the newly added indoor/outdoor unit and the affiliated multi-split air conditioner subsystem without manual configuration.
In one embodiment, the backend server may be configured to update the second correspondence between the third identifier, the second identifier, and the first identifier by performing the following operations:
step 1: and judging whether the first identification code currently received by the background server contains the first identification code corresponding to each second corresponding relation currently stored by the background server.
An example is as follows: the first identification codes currently received by the background server comprise the first identification codes SN1 and SN2 of the indoor unit 1-2 in the multi-split air conditioning subsystem 1, and the second corresponding relationship currently stored by the background server comprises a System 1: (SN1+ IMEI1), System 1: (SN2+ IMEI1) and System 1: (SN3+ IMEI1), the first identifiers in these three second correspondences are SN1, SN2 and SN3, respectively. The judgment can determine that the first identification code currently received by the background server does not contain the System 1: (SN3+ IMEI1) corresponding to the first identity SN 3.
Step 2: if the currently received first identification code does not contain the first identification code corresponding to a certain second corresponding relation, judging whether the first identification code corresponding to the certain second corresponding relation is in an offline state or not; if the state is in the loss of contact counting time state and the continuous loss of contact time reaches a preset time threshold value, deleting the certain second corresponding relation; and if the first identification code corresponding to the certain second corresponding relation is not in the loss-of-contact-counting state, performing loss-of-contact-counting processing on the first identification code corresponding to the certain second corresponding relation (marking the first identification code corresponding to the certain second corresponding relation as in the loss-of-contact-counting state and starting timing).
The following describes step 2 in detail by taking data sent by the communication device of the internet of things in three consecutive data reporting periods (e.g., 1 hour) as an example. The state parameters of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are not changed in the three continuous data reporting periods, and the preset time threshold is 2 hours.
1 st data reporting period: the first identification code received by the backend server does not contain System 1: if the first identifier SN3 corresponding to (SN3+ IMEI1) (for brevity, the first identifier SN3 corresponding to "System 1 (SN3+ IMEI 1)" is simply referred to as the target identifier) and the target identifier is not in the loss-of-contact accounting state, then the loss-of-contact accounting process is performed on the target identifier.
The 2 nd data reporting period: the first identification code received by the background server does not contain the target identification code, and the continuous loss time of the target identification code is 1 hour.
The 3 rd data reporting period: the first identification code received by the background server does not contain the target identification code, and the continuous loss time of the target identification code is 2 hours. Further, since the continuous loss of connection time has reached the preset time threshold (2 hours), indicating that the indoor unit 3 corresponding to the target identification code has been removed from the multi-split air conditioning System, the second correspondence System1 stored in the background server is deleted: (SN3+ IMEI 1).
The internet of things communication device in the multi-split air conditioning system in the embodiment of the invention collects the state parameters of each indoor/outdoor unit in communication connection with the main control outdoor unit through the main control outdoor unit, and sends the state parameters (including but not limited to a first identification code of the indoor/outdoor unit, a HomeBus communication address and a second identification code of the internet of things communication device) corresponding to a certain indoor/outdoor unit to the background server after detecting that the state parameters of the certain indoor/outdoor unit are changed. Therefore, even if the identification code of the indoor unit and/or the outdoor unit is changed due to abnormal operation of a software program and the like, the background server can quickly and accurately acquire the changed identification code, so that the stable operation of the multi-split air conditioning system is ensured. Further, the internet of things communication device may also periodically send the state parameters (including but not limited to the first identification code of the indoor/outdoor unit, the HomeBus communication address, and the second identification code of the internet of things communication device) corresponding to each indoor/outdoor unit to the background server according to a preset data reporting period. Therefore, even if the indoor/outdoor units are added, deleted and replaced in the multi-split air-conditioning system, the background server can accurately acquire the identification codes of the indoor/outdoor units in the multi-split air-conditioning system, the identification codes of the indoor/outdoor units do not need to be manually configured and maintained by technicians, and the operation reliability and stability of the multi-split air-conditioning system are further improved.
So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the invention.
