In the case where the operation mode of the air conditioner needs to be switched due to a failure of the parent air conditioner, the candidate air conditioners include one or more sub air conditioners that can switch the operation mode.
The current distance between each candidate air conditioner and the user can be obtained through a distance detection device arranged on the candidate air conditioners, for example, the current distance between each candidate air conditioner and the user is detected through a radar arranged on the candidate air conditioners; after the air conditioners are installed, the position of each air conditioner in the environment is fixed, in this case, the position of the user in the environment can be obtained, and the distance between the position of each air conditioner in the environment and the position of the user in the environment is obtained and used as the current distance between each air conditioner and the user; in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "air conditioner" may refer to both a parent air conditioner and a child air conditioner without any limitation on the term "air conditioner".
S202, determining a target air conditioner which is convenient for a user to operate in the plurality of candidate air conditioners according to the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner.
In some application scenarios, a user is controlling a sub-air conditioner through a main air conditioner, and the main air conditioner fails. In this case, determining, among the plurality of candidate air conditioners, a target air conditioner that is convenient for a user to operate according to the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner may be implemented as: and determining the candidate air conditioner corresponding to the shortest distance in the plurality of current distances as the target air conditioner. The target air conditioner determined in this way is convenient for the user to touch, and after the operation mode of the target air conditioner is switched from the operation mode of the sub air conditioner to the operation mode of the parent air conditioner, the user can conveniently control other sub air conditioners through the new parent air conditioner.
Optionally, before switching the operation mode of the target air conditioner from the sub air conditioner operation mode to the main air conditioner operation mode, the method for controlling the sub-main air conditioner further includes: controlling a target air conditioner to enter a fault self-checking mode; if the target air conditioner does not pass the fault self-checking, removing the target air conditioner from the plurality of candidate air conditioners, and re-determining a new target air conditioner; and if the target air conditioner passes the fault self-detection, switching the operation mode of the target air conditioner from the sub air conditioner operation mode to the main air conditioner operation mode. And removing the target air conditioner from the candidate air conditioners, wherein the target air conditioner is not considered as the air conditioner passing fault self-checking when a new target air conditioner is determined. In this way, the target air conditioner that can be normally used as the parent air conditioner can be selected from the plurality of candidate air conditioners.
In the process of re-determining the new target air conditioner, the foregoing process may be performed once, that is: and obtaining the current distance between each candidate air conditioner and the user, and determining a target air conditioner which is convenient for the user to operate in the plurality of candidate air conditioners according to the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner.
Or, determining a target air conditioner convenient for a user to operate among the plurality of candidate air conditioners according to the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner, including: determining the sequence of the plurality of candidate air conditioners according to the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner, and determining the first candidate air conditioner as a target air conditioner; and if the target air conditioner does not pass the fault self-test, determining the second previous candidate air conditioner as a new target air conditioner. This allows for a faster determination of the target air conditioner.
And sorting the current distance between each candidate air conditioner and the user from small to large, wherein the first candidate air conditioner refers to the candidate air conditioner with the shortest current distance to the user, and the second first candidate air conditioner refers to the candidate air conditioner with the shortest current distance to the user from the last to the next.
In the process of determining the target air conditioner among the plurality of candidate air conditioners according to the current change rate and the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner, determining the sequence of the plurality of candidate air conditioners may include: and determining one or more second candidate air conditioners of which the radial speeds of the users point to the air conditioners in the plurality of candidate air conditioners, and determining the sequence of the one or more second candidate air conditioners according to the current distances corresponding to the one or more second candidate air conditioners. The current distance between each second candidate air conditioner and the user may be sorted in order from small to large, the first candidate air conditioner refers to the second candidate air conditioner with the shortest current distance from the user, and the second first candidate air conditioner refers to the second candidate air conditioner with the shortest current distance from the user.
And S203, switching the operation mode of the target air conditioner from the sub air conditioner operation mode to the main air conditioner operation mode.
Each air conditioner comprises a sub air conditioner running mode and a parent air conditioner and running mode, once the parent air conditioner breaks down, one sub air conditioner which is convenient for a user to operate is determined to be a new parent air conditioner in the candidate air conditioners according to the distance between the user and other candidate air conditioners, and therefore the user can conveniently control the sub air conditioners through the new parent air conditioner.
Optionally, determining, from the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner, a target air conditioner that is convenient for a user to operate among the plurality of candidate air conditioners may include: obtaining the current change rate of the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner; and determining a first candidate air conditioner corresponding to the current change rate with the negative numerical value, and determining the first candidate air conditioner corresponding to the current change rate with the maximum absolute value as a target air conditioner.
The current change rate of the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner may reflect a radial speed of the user relative to the candidate air conditioners, and the current change rate corresponding to the first candidate air conditioner is negative, which indicates that the radial speed of the user relative to the first candidate air conditioner points to the first candidate air conditioner, that is, indicates that the user has a tendency to select the first candidate air conditioner as the target air conditioner.
The number of the first candidate air conditioners is one or more. Under the condition that the first candidate air conditioner comprises a first air conditioner and a second air conditioner, the current change rate of the user relative to the current distance of the first air conditioner is a first change rate, and the current change rate of the user relative to the current distance of the second air conditioner is a second change rate; determining the first air conditioner as a target air conditioner if the absolute value of the first rate of change is greater than the absolute value of the second rate of change, indicating that the user is more inclined to move toward the first air conditioner; and determining the second air conditioner as the target air conditioner if the absolute value of the first rate of change is less than the absolute value of the second rate of change, indicating that the user is more inclined to move toward the second air conditioner. Therefore, the target air conditioner selected by comparing the absolute value of the current change rate corresponding to the first candidate air conditioner can reflect the movement tendency of the user more accurately, and the operation mode of the target air conditioner is switched from the sub air conditioner operation mode to the main air conditioner operation mode, so that the user can control other sub air conditioners through the target air conditioner more conveniently.

As shown in fig. 3a, if the first radial velocity V1 is greater than the second radial velocity V2, the actual moving velocity V0 of the user points to the upper side of the line segment c, indicating that the user is more inclined to move toward the first air conditioner 21, at which time the first air conditioner 21 is determined to be the target air conditioner.
As shown in fig. 3b, if the first radial velocity V1 is less than the second radial velocity V2, the actual moving velocity V0 of the user points to the lower side of the line segment c, indicating that the user is more inclined to move toward the second air conditioner 22, at which time the second air conditioner 22 is determined to be the target air conditioner.
The target air conditioner determined in the way can better reflect the selection tendency of a user, and the operation mode of the target air conditioner is switched from the operation mode of the sub air conditioner to the operation mode of the main air conditioner, so that the user can more conveniently control other sub air conditioners.
Further, determining a target air conditioner convenient for a user to operate among the plurality of candidate air conditioners according to the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner, may further include: obtaining the current change rate of the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner, determining a first candidate air conditioner corresponding to the current change rate with a negative value, and determining the sequence of the first candidate air conditioners according to the sequence of the absolute value of the current change rate from large to small; determining a first candidate air conditioner as a target air conditioner; and if the target air conditioner does not pass the fault self-test, determining the second previous first candidate air conditioner as a new target air conditioner. This allows for a faster determination of the target air conditioner.

The current distance between the two candidate air conditioners and the user is small, the larger the angle difference between the directions of the radial speeds of the user relative to the two candidate air conditioners is, the moving tendency of the user can be distinguished more, and further, the target air conditioner selected by the user tendency can be distinguished accurately in the two first candidate sub air conditioners.
Further, determining a target air conditioner convenient for a user to operate among the plurality of candidate air conditioners according to the current distance corresponding to each candidate air conditioner, may further include: obtaining the current change rate of the current distance of each candidate air conditioner, determining the current change rate with a negative numerical value and the candidate air conditioners with the current distance less than or equal to a first preset distance as first candidate air conditioners, and determining the sequence of the first candidate air conditioners according to the sequence of the absolute values of the current change rates from large to small; determining a first candidate air conditioner as a target air conditioner; and if the target air conditioner does not pass the fault self-test, determining the second previous first candidate air conditioner as a new target air conditioner.
