The following air conditioner control method is also provided: based on the preset time period information of the silence of the air conditioner and the extinction of the backlight, the opening and closing of the buzzer of the air conditioner and the on and off of the backlight are automatically controlled. Therefore, the buzzer or the display panel backlight is automatically turned off at a proper time without the need of manual operation by a user to control the switching function of the buzzer or the display panel backlight, on the one hand, energy saving and environmental protection are realized, on the other hand, user experience is improved, and the comfort of using an air conditioner is improved (for example, refer to patent document 2).
However, in patent document 1, each time the user has to manually control the remote controller by himself or herself or by a family before sleeping, the air conditioner is put into a sleep mode, which may prevent or interrupt the user from falling asleep, giving the user an uncomfortable experience.
In patent document 2, although the air conditioner can automatically enter the sleep mode and thereafter turn off the buzzer, the buzzer is not turned off at the moment when it enters the sleep mode, and the sound generated by the buzzer still affects the sleep of the user. And the user can not set the switch of the buzzer according to own preference, for example, when the condition of automatically entering the sleep mode is met but the user who controls 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, and discomfort can be brought to the user.
In patent document 3, the buzzer is turned off and the backlight is turned off only for a preset period of time, and if the user falls asleep earlier or later than the period of time, the user falls asleep with a disturbance, and a comfortable sleeping environment cannot be provided for the user.

Detailed Description
A preferred embodiment of the air conditioning system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the 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, the air conditioning system 10 of the present invention includes at least one air conditioner 100, … …, 100, an information relay device 200, a portable terminal 300, and a cloud server 400, for example.
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 each of the plurality of air conditioners is installed on a different floor or a different room of a building and includes an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit. The "air conditioner" illustrated in the present specification shows only the "air conditioning indoor unit" portion, and the "air conditioning outdoor unit" is not illustrated. Each air conditioner 100 has, for example, a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a four-way valve, and the like, and can adjust parameters such as temperature, humidity, and the like of indoor ambient air in operation modes such as heating, cooling, air supply, dehumidification, and the like.
Each air conditioner 100 is installed with a buzzer 101. When the buzzer 101 receives a control signal from the air conditioner remote controller, or an operation instruction from an operation panel on the air conditioner, or a control instruction from an air conditioner management program or an Application (APP) installed on the mobile terminal 300 described later, which manages the air conditioner 100, a sound is emitted as an operation instruction sound. For example, whenever a user presses any button on the air conditioner remote controller in an area where the air conditioner can receive a remote control operation, the buzzer 101 sounds to prompt, and if the user frequently operates the air conditioner remote controller button or frequently operates an operation panel on the air conditioner body, the buzzer 101 continuously sounds. 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 a connection is established with a mobile terminal 300 described later, that is, when the air conditioner 100 can be controlled by an air conditioning management program APP installed in the mobile terminal 300, the air conditioner 100 of the present invention turns OFF the default buzzer 101, that is, the air conditioner sound defaults to OFF.
The information relay device 200 plays roles of transmitting and receiving information, transferring information, relaying information, exchanging information, and the like between the plurality of air conditioners 100 and the mobile terminal 300 and the cloud server 400 described later. As shown in fig. 2, the information relay apparatus 200 includes a router (wired or wireless), a network (e.g., LTE, 3G/4G, public wireless LAN, etc.), and the like, which are provided in a room. 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. The information relay apparatus 200 also transmits and receives data to and from the mobile terminal 300, and uploads or downloads data to or from the cloud server 400. The information relay apparatus 200 is not particularly limited in configuration as long as it can exchange information among the air conditioner 100, the mobile terminal 300, and the cloud server 400. The information relay apparatus 200 may acquire data about persons and facilities in a room from a camera, a light intensity sensor, or the like provided in the room.
The portable terminal 300 may be, for example, a portable device such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a PDA (personal digital assistant), or the like that a 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 apparatus 200, and may transmit information to the air conditioner 100 or the cloud server 400 via the information relay apparatus 200. The portable terminal 300 is installed with an air conditioning management program or Application (APP) for managing the air conditioner 100 for a user to operate, and information about the air conditioner 100, such as ON/OFF of the buzzer 101, setting of wind speed, temperature, etc., is displayed ON a display screen of the portable terminal 300.
The cloud server 400 is provided on the operator side of the air conditioning system 10, for example, and can collectively manage data exchange between the plurality of air conditioners 100 and the plurality of portable terminals 300. For example, fig. 1 shows a case where a plurality of air conditioners 100 are connected to one portable terminal 300 via the information relay device 200 and the cloud server 400, but a case where a plurality of air conditioners 100 are connected to a plurality of portable terminals 300 via the information relay device 200 and the cloud server 400, a case where one air conditioner 100 is connected to a plurality of portable terminals 300 via the information relay device 200 and the cloud server 400, and the like may be employed. The cloud server 400 is an example of data exchange between the air conditioner 100 and the mobile terminal 300, but this is not essential, and for example, the air conditioner 100 and the mobile terminal 300 may directly exchange data by a transmission/reception unit, a data processing unit, or the like, which are provided in each, instead of via a server or the like provided in a peripheral device.
< overall structure and display example of portable terminal 300 >
Fig. 3 is a block diagram for explaining the overall structure of a portable terminal 300 of the present invention.
The portable 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 an instruction input by a user and outputs the instruction to the control unit 302. The control unit 302 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit: central processing unit) or the like, and controls the display unit 303 in response to 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. The mobile terminal 300 communicates with the air conditioner 100 and the information relay device 200 through a communication unit, not shown, to control the operation of the 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 by the display portion 303 can be switched between the "full mode" and the "simple mode".
When the user interface is in the full mode, all operation functions of the air conditioner management program managing the air conditioner 100 are normally displayed. At this time, the user can set arbitrarily, and can set the scene, timing and other functions according to the living habits or working habits of himself or herself, family members and the like, thereby fully playing the role of the air conditioning system.
Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a setting screen of a user interface in a full mode displayed on the portable terminal 300 of the present invention. The setting screen shows various settings such as mode switching, buzzer setting, outdoor operation setting, air conditioning ranking, air conditioning registration, login information, APP information, adapter information, and privacy clauses. Wherein the user can switch between the full mode and the simple mode through a mode switching option. As shown in fig. 4, the current mode is the "full mode". The user may set the user name on this screen, and for example, when the user sets the current user name "dad" on the screen shown in fig. 4, a presentation message such as "dad is operating" may be displayed on a user terminal such as another mobile terminal. Thus, when the air conditioner 100 is registered on all of the plurality of portable terminals 300, the user of the other portable 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 more options may be included, for example.
When the user selects the buzzer setting in the setting screen of fig. 4, the display unit 303 displays the setting screen shown in fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a schematic view of a buzzer setting screen in a full mode displayed on the portable terminal 300 of the present invention. In fig. 5, a list of air conditioners that the portable terminal 300 is currently capable of controlling is shown, 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. The user can control the on/off 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 living room air conditioner is shown to be on, and the buzzers 101 of other air conditioners are all off.
Fig. 6 is a schematic view of a setting screen of a user interface in a simple mode displayed on the portable 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 "set", which shows that the current user is "dad" and the current mode is "simple mode". The option of "buzzer setting" is not displayed ON the setting screen, and indicates that the user cannot change ON/OFF of the buzzer in the simple mode. The simple mode is a mode developed for facilitating the operation of the crowd with the heavy basic functions such as the old, the fonts of the simple mode are larger than those of the complete mode, the functions are reduced, the operation is simple and convenient, the basic functions are integrated on one interface as much as possible, and the occurrence frequency of the menu at the next stage can be reduced, so that the operation is simpler. If the buzzer 101 is to be turned on or off in the simple mode, the buzzer needs to be switched to the full mode and then set. 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 user name change cannot be performed in the simple mode but can be performed only in the full mode shown in fig. 4.
< control example of Sound (buzzer ON/OFF) switching of air conditioner >
Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing 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 switching control method of the air conditioner sound of the air conditioning system 10 according to the present invention will be described in detail based on fig. 7.
In this control example, the air conditioner sound switching in the 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 may be operated according to a temperature set by a user, for example, for 30 minutes, and then operated according to a prescribed sleep temperature. The "30 minutes" is just an example, and the time for the user to enter the sleep state in the room is predicted, and may be changed according to the actual requirement. By using the sleep mode, the comfortable indoor air environment can be ensured, the noise of the air conditioner during operation can be reduced, and 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 holding the mobile terminal 300 is set as user B, the user in the room where the air conditioner 100 is located is set as user a, the air conditioner 100 is the living room air conditioner, the buzzer 101 is set to ON, and the buzzers of the other bedroom air conditioners, study room air conditioner, sub-bedroom air conditioner, and child room air conditioner are 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 emits a sound 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 may confirm whether to switch the air conditioner 100 to the sleep mode on the portable terminal 300 by entering the room to view the condition of the user a or by monitoring the facial expression or motion of the user a (e.g., closing eyes, making a yawning, lying flat for more than a certain time without any motion, etc.) through a camera or the like installed in the room. Based on the obtained information of the user a, the control unit 302 of the mobile terminal 300 may automatically determine that the air conditioner 100 needs to be switched to the sleep mode, notify the user B of the fact on the display unit 303 of the mobile terminal 300, and confirm whether or not to switch the air conditioner 100 to the sleep mode by the user B.
If it is determined to switch 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 ST 102), as shown in FIG. 8. Fig. 8 is a schematic view of a detailed interface of the living room air conditioner in the full mode displayed on the portable terminal 300 of the present invention. In fig. 8, functional options of operation modes such as "cooling", "dehumidifying", "heating", "air supplying", "daemon" are displayed in the interface of "living room air conditioner", and fig. 8 shows the air conditioner 100 in the operation mode of "cooling", and also shows the set temperature (21.5 ℃) and the current indoor temperature (24.5 ℃). In addition, the on-off option, the set temperature adjustment option, the wind speed option, the up-down wind direction option, the left-right wind direction option, the timing setting option, and the sleep mode option in fig. 8 are available for the user to operate. In fig. 8, the "cooling" operation mode is taken as an example, and the interfaces of the operation modes such as heating and air blowing are substantially the same, so that a repetitive description thereof is omitted. The "sleep mode" described above is enabled only when the air conditioner 100 is on, that is, when the switch option shown in fig. 8 is 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 turned off at the same time as 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 sleeping environment. Since the buzzer 101 is always on, when the user B presses the "sleep mode" option, the buzzer 101 sounds beeps in response to this operation. 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 sleeping shallowly. To avoid this, in the present control example, the buzzer 101 is turned off while the "sleep mode" is pressed, so that there is no fear that the sound emitted from the buzzer 101 may disturb the sleep of the user a.
Thereafter, the air conditioner 100 enters a sleep mode (step ST 103), and the wind speed, cooling power, etc. thereof are lowered, and the buzzer 101 does not sound any more, thereby achieving energy saving and noise reduction.
In step ST104, when the user B finds that the user a wakes up or otherwise does not need to continue the sleep mode any more, 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 on or off state 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 user B switches to the switching operation of the sleep mode (pressing the "sleep mode" button) and any control operation in the sleep mode (adjusting the air volume, temperature setting, etc.), and the buzzer 101 is turned off without making a sound until the sleep mode ends. Therefore, the user A in the room cannot be disturbed by the sound emitted by the buzzer 101, the sleep state of the user A cannot be interrupted or influenced, and the user experience of the user A and the user B on the air conditioning system is improved. In addition, the user B can set the switching of the sound of the air conditioner according to the preference of the user B, and the user B is also provided with a larger degree of freedom.

In this control example, the air conditioner sound switching in the case where the user wants to put the air conditioner 100 into the timer mode will be described as an example. The timing mode is a mode in which the air conditioner 100 is operated according to an operation time (including a start time and an end time, which are separated by, for example, 2 hours, 4 hours, etc.) set by a user, and when the start time is reached, the air conditioner 100 is automatically operated according to a set condition corresponding to the start time, and when the end time is reached, that is, after the set operation time has elapsed, the air conditioner 100 is automatically turned off. The functional mode is suitable for places needing to be shut down at regular time, such as offices at off-duty time 17: and after 00, the air conditioner 100 is automatically shut down to realize energy saving and electricity saving. The timing mode is also suitable for being used at night, and the trouble of the user getting up at night is avoided.
In this control example, similarly, the user holding the mobile terminal 300 is set as user B, the user in the room where the air conditioner 100 is located is set as 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 the air conditioner 100 in advance to, for example, 3 in the morning of each day, taking into consideration the living habit of the user a and the current weather conditions: 00 is shut down at regular time. The timing mode is described here by taking the timing on/off as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the timing may be switched from the cooling mode to the air-sending mode, or the like.
Then, the air conditioner 100 is operated according to a preset operation condition (ST 202), and when the time of 3:00 a.m. is reached, the air conditioner 100 is turned off, and the buzzer 101 is also turned off (ST 203). In the pre-set morning 3: before 00, since the buzzer 101 is always on, 3a in the morning at the moment the timing mode ends: at time 00, the air conditioner 100 will be turned off and the buzzer 101 will sound 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 sleeping shallowly. To avoid this, in the present control example, the buzzer 101 is turned off while the "sleep mode" is 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 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 at the start time or the end time of the timer mode or in a period of time from the start time to the end time. Therefore, the user A in the room cannot be disturbed by the sound emitted by the buzzer 101, particularly when sleeping at night, the air conditioner 100 does not need to be turned off at night, and meanwhile, a comfortable temperature environment can be maintained, so that the user experience of the user A and the user B on the air conditioning system is improved. In addition, the user B can set the switching of the sound of the air conditioner according to the preference of the user B, and the user B is also provided with a larger degree of freedom.
In the first control example and the second control example, the sleep mode and the timing mode are taken as examples of the function modes, respectively, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the "function mode" in the invention may be other modes, such as the child lock mode, in which the sound of the buzzer 101 is turned off at the time of entering the child lock mode and during the child lock mode, so as to avoid attracting the attention of the child.
