Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an air conditioning system, a method for controlling the air conditioning system, and a computer readable medium, and more particularly, to switching of air conditioner sounds when controlling an air conditioner in the air conditioning system.
Background
A buzzer is usually installed in the air conditioner, and when a user controls the air conditioner through a remote controller or an operation panel, for example, when the air conditioner is turned on, turned off, or adjusted in temperature, the buzzer generates a beep sound as an operation prompt sound. The buzzer sound may also be turned off, for example in a silent mode or a sleep mode.
Conventionally, the following air conditioning systems are known: when a user controls the air conditioner to enter a sleep mode, the air conditioner can close the display of the display panel, simultaneously close the sound feedback of the buzzer, and adjust the fan of the indoor unit to a low wind level, so that the noise of the indoor unit reaches a small value, low-noise operation is realized, and a comfortable sleep environment is created for the user. In this case, if a signal is transmitted or received by operating a remote controller or an operation panel, the buzzer does not sound (see, for example, patent document 1).
Patent document 2 discloses an automatic control method for a sleep mode of an air conditioner, which automatically enters the sleep mode of the air conditioner based on the current indoor brightness and the human sleep state parameters, turns off a buzzer and a backlight of a display panel, and adjusts the operation state of the air conditioner according to the sleep stage of a user, so that the user obtains a more comfortable sleep environment, and the user experience is improved.
There is also an air conditioner control method as follows: and automatically controlling the on-off of a buzzer of the air conditioner and the on-off of the backlight lamp based on preset time period information of the mute of the air conditioner and the turn-off of the backlight lamp. Therefore, the user does not need to manually operate to control the switching function of the buzzer or the display panel backlight, and the backlight and the buzzer are automatically turned off at a proper time, so that on one hand, energy conservation and environmental protection are realized, on the other hand, the user experience is improved, and the comfort of using the air conditioner is improved (for example, refer to patent document 2).
However, in patent document 1, the user must manually control the remote controller by himself or a family member to put the air conditioner into the sleep mode each time before he or she goes to sleep, which may hinder or interrupt the user from falling asleep, resulting in an uncomfortable experience for the user.
In patent document 2, although the air conditioner can automatically enter the sleep mode and turn off the buzzer after the sleep mode, the buzzer is not turned off at the moment when the air conditioner enters the sleep mode, and the sound emitted by the air conditioner still affects the sleep of the user. And the user can not set the switch of the buzzer according to the preference of the user, for example, when the condition of automatically entering the sleep mode is met but the user operating the air conditioner does not want to turn off the sound of the buzzer, the buzzer of the air conditioner can still be turned off, which brings discomfort to the user.
In patent document 3, turning off the buzzer and turning off the backlight only for a preset time period disturbs the user's falling asleep if the user falls asleep earlier or later than the time period, and a comfortable sleep environment cannot be provided for the user.

Detailed Description
Preferred embodiments of an air conditioning system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference numerals.
< integral Structure of air Conditioning System >
Fig. 1 is a block diagram for explaining the overall structure of an air conditioning system 10 of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing one example of the overall structure of the air conditioning system 10 of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, an air conditioning system 10 according to the present invention includes, for example, at least one air conditioner 100, … …, 100, an information relay device 200, a mobile terminal 300, and a cloud server 400.
The plurality of air conditioners 100 may be wall-mounted air conditioners, cabinet air conditioners, window air conditioners, ceiling air conditioners, etc., and the types thereof are not particularly limited, and the air conditioners are installed on different floors or different rooms of a building, and each of the air conditioners includes an indoor air conditioner and an outdoor air conditioner. The "air conditioner" illustrated in the present specification shows only the "air conditioner indoor unit" portion, and the illustration of the "air conditioner outdoor unit" is omitted. Each air conditioner 100 includes components such as a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a four-way valve, and is capable of adjusting parameters such as temperature and humidity of indoor ambient air in operation modes such as heating, cooling, air supply, and dehumidification.
Each air conditioner 100 is mounted with a buzzer 101. The buzzer 101 generates a sound as an operation prompt sound when receiving a control signal from an air conditioner remote controller, an operation command from an operation panel on the air conditioner body, a control command from an air conditioner management program or an Application (APP) installed in the portable terminal 300, which will be described later, for managing the air conditioner 100. For example, the buzzer 101 may sound to prompt whenever a user presses any button on the remote controller of the air conditioner in an area where the air conditioner can receive a remote control operation, and the buzzer 101 may continuously sound if the user frequently operates the button of the remote controller of the air conditioner or frequently operates the operation panel on the body of the air conditioner. The buzzer 101 may also be turned off. When the user turns off the buzzer 101, the buzzer 101 does not sound any more regardless of what operation the user makes. When the air conditioner 100 of the present invention is connected to a portable terminal 300 described later, that is, when the air conditioner 100 can be controlled by an air conditioner management program APP installed in the portable terminal 300, the buzzer 101 is turned OFF by default, that is, the air conditioner sound is turned OFF by default.
The information relay device 200 functions to transmit, receive, relay, exchange, and the like information between the plurality of air conditioners 100 and the mobile terminal 300 and the cloud server 400 described below. As shown in fig. 2, the information relay apparatus 200 includes a router (wired or wireless) provided in a room, a network (e.g., LTE, 3G/4G, public wireless LAN, etc.), and the like. The information relay apparatus 200 communicates with an adapter installed in the air conditioner 100, and acquires various data and parameters related to the air conditioner 100, such as ON/OFF of the buzzer 101. Information relay device 200 also transmits and receives data to and from mobile terminal 300, and uploads or downloads data and the like to cloud server 400. The configuration of information relay device 200 is not particularly limited as long as it can exchange information among air conditioner 100, mobile terminal 300, and cloud server 400. In addition, the information relay apparatus 200 may acquire data on the persons and facilities in the room from a camera, a light intensity sensor, and the like provided in the room.
The portable terminal 300 may be, for example, a portable device such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet computer, and a PDA (personal digital assistant) that the user carries with him. The portable terminal 300 may receive data or information from the air conditioner 100 or the cloud server 400 via the information relay device 200, and may transmit the information to the air conditioner 100 or the cloud server 400 via the information relay device 200. The portable terminal 300 has an air-conditioning management program or an application program (APP) for managing the air conditioner 100 installed thereon for the user to operate, and displays information related to the air conditioner 100, for example, settings of ON/OFF of the buzzer 101, wind speed, temperature, and the like, ON the display screen of the portable terminal 300.
The cloud server 400 is installed, for example, on the operator side of the air conditioning system 10, and can collectively manage data exchange between the plurality of air conditioners 100 and the plurality of mobile terminals 300. For example, fig. 1 shows a case where a plurality of air conditioners 100 are connected to one mobile terminal 300 via an information relay device 200 and a cloud server 400, but a case where a plurality of air conditioners 100 are connected to a plurality of mobile terminals 300 via an information relay device 200 and a cloud server 400, a case where one air conditioner 100 is connected to a plurality of mobile terminals 300 via an information relay device 200 and a cloud server 400, or the like may be possible. Here, the cloud server 400 is an example serving to exchange data between the air conditioner 100 and the mobile terminal 300, but it is not essential, and for example, the air conditioner 100 and the mobile terminal 300 may exchange data directly through a transmitting/receiving unit, a data processing unit, and the like provided in each, without going through an external server or the like.
< overall configuration and display example of the mobile terminal 300 >
Fig. 3 is a block diagram illustrating the overall configuration of a mobile terminal 300 according to the present invention.
The mobile terminal 300 of the present invention includes an input unit 301, a control unit 302, and a display unit 303. The input unit 301 may be a hardware button, a software button displayed on a touch panel, or the like, and receives a command input by a user and outputs the command to the control unit 302. The control Unit 302 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or the like, and controls the display Unit 303 in accordance with an instruction from the input Unit 301. The display unit 303 is, for example, a liquid crystal display panel mounted on a mobile terminal, and displays a user interface related to the air conditioner 100 to a user. In addition, portable terminal 300 communicates with air conditioner 100 and information relay device 200 via a communication unit, not shown, to thereby control the operation of air conditioner 100.
When the portable terminal 300 of the present invention controls the air conditioner 100 via the information relay apparatus 200, the user interface displayed on the display unit 303 can be switched between the "full mode" and the "simple mode".
When the user interface is in the full mode, all the operation functions of the air conditioner management program for managing the air conditioner 100 are normally displayed. In this case, the user can set the setting at will, and can set the scene, the timing and other functions according to the living habits or working habits of the user, family members and the like, thereby fully playing the role of the air conditioning system.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a setting screen of the user interface in the full mode displayed on the mobile terminal 300 of the present invention. The setting screen shows options for various settings such as mode switching, buzzer setting, outdoor operation setting, air conditioner ranking, air conditioner registration, login information, APP information, adapter information, and privacy provision. Wherein, the user can switch the full mode and the simple mode through the mode switching option. As shown in fig. 4, the current mode is the "full mode". The user can set the user name on the screen, for example, the current user name is "dad" as shown in fig. 4, and when the user sets the user name on the screen shown in fig. 4, prompt information such as "dad is operating" is displayed on the user terminal such as another portable terminal. Thus, when the air conditioner 100 is registered in all of the plurality of mobile terminals 300, the user of the other mobile terminal 300 can know which user is currently operating the air conditioner 100.
Here, the various setting options shown in fig. 4 are only one example, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, more options may be included.
When the user selects the buzzer setting in the setting screen of fig. 4, the display section 303 displays the setting screen shown in fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a buzzer setting screen in the full mode displayed on the mobile terminal 300 of the present invention. In fig. 5, a list of air conditioners that the portable terminal 300 is currently able to control, including a living room air conditioner, a bedroom air conditioner, a study room air conditioner, a sub-bedroom air conditioner, and a child room air conditioner, is shown. The user can control the switching of the buzzer 101 of each air conditioner 100 by operating on the setting screen. In the case of fig. 5, the buzzer 101 of the air conditioner in the living room is turned on, and the buzzers 101 of the other air conditioners are all turned off.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a setting screen of a user interface in the simple mode displayed on the mobile terminal 300 of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6, in the simple mode, only the option of mode switching is included in the menu of the operation function item of "set", in which the current user is shown as "dad" and the current mode is "simple mode". In addition, the setting screen has no option of "buzzer setting", and indicates that the user cannot change the ON/OFF of the buzzer in the simple mode. This is because the simple mode is a mode developed for facilitating easier operation by a group of people who prefer basic functions such as the elderly, and has a larger font than the full mode, reduced functions, and easy operation, and the basic functions are integrated on one interface as much as possible, so that the frequency of appearance of a menu at a next level can be reduced, and the operation is simpler. If it is desired to set the buzzer 101 to be turned on or off in the simple mode, it is necessary to switch to the full mode and then perform the setting. In addition, "dad" shown in fig. 6 corresponds to "dad" in fig. 4, that is, the user name in the simple mode is synchronized with the user name in the full mode, and the change of the user name cannot be made in the simple mode but can be made only in the full mode shown in fig. 4.
< first control example of switching of air conditioner sound (buzzer ON/OFF) >
Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a switching control method of the air conditioner sound of the air conditioning system 10 of the present invention. Next, specific steps of an example of the method for controlling switching of the air conditioner sound in the air conditioning system 10 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 7.
In this control example, the air conditioner sound switching in a case where the user wants to put the air conditioner 100 into the sleep mode will be described as an example. The sleep mode is a power saving mode of the air conditioner 100 in which the air conditioner 100 can be operated for, for example, 30 minutes according to a temperature set by a user and then operated according to a prescribed sleep temperature. Here, "30 minutes" is merely an example, and is a time for predicting that a user in a room enters a sleep state, and may be changed according to actual needs. By using the sleep mode, a comfortable indoor air environment can be ensured, and the noise generated when the air conditioner operates can be reduced, so that the air conditioner is very suitable for being used in a sleep state, and is particularly suitable for families with children and old people.
In this control example, the user who holds the mobile terminal 300 is user B, the user in the room where the air conditioner 100 is located is user a, the air conditioner 100 is a living room air conditioner, the buzzer 101 is set to ON, and the buzzers of other bedroom air conditioners, study room air conditioners, sub-bedroom air conditioners, and child room air conditioners are set to OFF by default. So that when the user B operates the user interface of the air conditioner 100 displayed on the portable terminal 300, the buzzer 101 receiving the operation signal sounds accordingly.
First, in step ST101, the user B determines whether to switch the air conditioner 100 to the sleep mode. In this step, the user B can confirm whether to switch the air conditioner 100 to the sleep mode on the portable terminal 300 by entering the room to see the situation of the user a or monitoring the facial expression or motion of the user a (e.g., closing the eyes, yawning, lying down for more than a certain time without any motion, etc.) through a camera or the like installed in the room. The control unit 302 of the portable terminal 300 may automatically determine that the air conditioner 100 needs to be switched to the sleep mode based on the acquired information of the user a, notify the user B of the fact on the display unit 303 of the portable terminal 300, and then confirm whether or not the air conditioner 100 is switched to the sleep mode by the user B.
If it is determined that the user switches to the sleep mode (ST 101: YES), the user presses the "sleep mode" option in the user interface of the air conditioner 100 (living room air conditioner) (step ST102), as shown in FIG. 8. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a detailed interface of the air conditioner in the living room in the full mode displayed on the portable terminal 300 of the present invention. In fig. 8, function options of operation modes such as "cooling", "dehumidification", "heating", "air supply", and "guard" are displayed on the interface of "air conditioner in living room", and fig. 8 shows the operation mode of the air conditioner 100 in "cooling", and also shows the set temperature (21.5 ℃) and the current indoor temperature (24.5 ℃). In addition, the switch option, the set temperature adjustment option, the wind speed option, the up-down wind option, the left-right wind option, the timing setting option, and the sleep mode option in fig. 8 may be operated by the user. In fig. 8, the "cooling" operation mode is taken as an example, and the interfaces of the operation modes such as heating and blowing are substantially the same, and therefore, the overlapping description is omitted. The "sleep mode" is enabled only when the air conditioner 100 is on, that is, when the switch option in fig. 8 is turned on, and the user can set the sleep mode, and if the air conditioner is off, the "sleep mode" option is displayed in gray and the user cannot set the sleep mode.
In step ST102, the buzzer 101 is also turned off while the "sleep mode" option is pressed. For example, when the user B finds that the user a in the bedroom has fallen asleep or is about to enter a sleep state, the air conditioner 100 is switched to the sleep mode in order to provide the user a with a comfortable sleep environment. Since the buzzer 101 is always on, the buzzer 101 will sound a beep in response to the user B pressing the "sleep mode" option. At this time, the sound of the buzzer 101 may disturb the sleep of the user a, and may even wake up the user a who has a light sleep. To avoid this, in the present control example, the buzzer 101 is turned off while the "sleep mode" is being pressed, so that there is no fear that the sound emitted from the buzzer 101 may disturb the sleep of the user a.
Then, the air conditioner 100 enters the sleep mode (step ST103), and the wind speed, the cooling power, and the like decrease, and the buzzer 101 does not make a sound any more, thereby saving energy and reducing noise.
In step ST104, when the user B finds that the user a wakes up or the sleep mode is no longer required to be continued because of others, the portable terminal 300 is operated to end the sleep mode and the buzzer 101 is also restored to the on state.
According to the first control example, the user B can freely set the turning on or off of the buzzer 101 through the user interface corresponding to the air conditioner 100 displayed on the portable terminal 300, and when the user B controls the air conditioner 100 to enter the sleep mode, the buzzer 101 is turned off without making a sound until the sleep mode is ended by a switching operation (pressing the "sleep mode" button) to the sleep mode and an arbitrary control operation (adjusting the air volume, temperature setting, and the like) in the sleep mode. Therefore, the user a in the room is not interfered by the sound emitted by the buzzer 101, the sleep state of the user a is not interrupted or influenced, and the user experience of the user a and the user B on the air conditioning system is improved. Moreover, the user B can set the switching of the air conditioner sound according to the preference of the user B, and a greater degree of freedom is brought to the user B.

Next, the specific steps of another example of the air conditioner sound switching control method of the air conditioning system 10 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 9.
In this control example, the air conditioner sound switching when the user wants to cause the air conditioner 100 to enter the timer mode will be described as an example. The timer mode is a mode in which the air conditioner 100 operates according to an operation time (including a start time and an end time, which are spaced, for example, 2 hours, 4 hours, etc.) set by a user, and when the start time is reached, the air conditioner 100 automatically operates according to a set condition corresponding to the start time, and when the end time, that is, the set operation time, has elapsed, the air conditioner 100 is automatically turned off. This functional mode is suitable for locations where a timed shutdown is required, such as an office during off-hours 17: and 00, automatically shutting down the air conditioner 100 to save energy and electricity. The timing mode is also suitable for being used at night, and the trouble of the user in getting up at night is avoided.
In this control example, similarly, the user who holds the mobile terminal 300 is the user B, the user in the room where the air conditioner 100 is located is the user a, the air conditioner 100 is a living room air conditioner, the buzzer 101 is set to ON, and the buzzers 101 of other air conditioners are set to OFF by default.
First, in step ST201, the user B sets in advance, for example, 3: and 00, shutting down at fixed time. The timing mode is described here by taking a timing on/off operation as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the timing may be switched from a cooling mode to a blowing mode.
Then, the air conditioner 100 is operated under the predetermined operation condition (ST202), and when the time point 3:00 am comes, the air conditioner 100 is turned off and the buzzer 101 is also turned off (ST 203). In the preset morning 3: before 00, since the buzzer 101 is always on, at the time of the end of the timing mode, i.e., 3: at time 00, the air conditioner 100 will be turned off and the buzzer 101 will sound a beep in response to this action. At this time, the sound of the buzzer 101 may disturb the sleep of the user a, and may even wake up the user a who has a light sleep. To avoid this, in the present control example, the buzzer 101 is turned off while the "sleep mode" is being pressed, so that there is no fear that the sound emitted from the buzzer 101 may disturb the sleep of the user a.
According to the second control example, the user B can freely set the turning on or off of the buzzer 101 through the user interface corresponding to the air conditioner 100 displayed on the portable terminal 300, and in the case where the user B controls the air conditioner 100 to enter the timer mode, the buzzer 101 is turned off without making a sound in the start time or the end time of the timer mode or the time period from the start time to the end time. Therefore, the user a in the room is not interfered by the sound emitted by the buzzer 101, and particularly, when the user goes to bed at night, the air conditioner 100 does not need to be turned off at night, a comfortable temperature environment can be kept, and the user experience of the user a and the user B on the air conditioning system is improved. Moreover, the user B can set the switching of the air conditioner sound according to the preference of the user B, and a greater degree of freedom is brought to the user B.
In the above-described first and second control examples, the sleep mode and the timer mode are taken as examples of the function mode, respectively, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the "function mode" in the present invention may be other modes, such as a child lock mode, in which the sound of the buzzer 101 is turned off to avoid attracting the attention of a small child when entering the child lock mode and during the child lock mode.
