In step S240, NO, the flag information is set to a valid flag.

In this embodiment, the user can set the low heating mode flag information as needed. Specifically, the user can set the low heating mode flag information by pressing the "Cancel" button on the remote controller. For example, when the user long presses the "cancel" button for a predetermined time interval (for example, 10 seconds), the remote controller sends a weak heating mode setting command to the air conditioner, and the air conditioner is in the power supply state; And when receiving the setting command sent from the remote controller, if the power supply time corresponding to the current power supply state is shorter than the fifth predetermined time, set the flag information of the weak heating mode, specifically, the weak heating mode. Determine whether the flag information of the heating mode is a valid flag, if YES, set the flag information to an invalid flag, if NO, set the flag information to a valid flag, and the flag information is valid Contains only flags and invalid flags.

The fifth predetermined time can be reasonably set, the range of the fifth predetermined time is 5-15 minutes, for example, the fifth predetermined time can be set to 10 minutes.

In another embodiment, the corresponding outdoor temperature of the air conditioner can be obtained when the air conditioner is in power-on state and the power-on time is shorter than the fifth predetermined time. If the outdoor temperature reaches a predetermined temperature value and the flag information is a valid flag, the flag information is set to a valid flag, and if the outdoor temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature value and the flag information is an invalid flag , the flag information is set as a valid flag. Moreover, the flag information can be set based on the outdoor temperature to achieve smart setting of the flag information and further improve the user's experience. The default temperature can be reasonably set, for example, the default temperature is set at 20 degrees.

According to the method for controlling the air conditioner proposed in this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in a power supply state and receives a weak heating mode setting command transmitted from the remote controller, the power supply time of the air conditioner is set to the fifth predetermined time. determining whether the power-on time is longer than the fifth predetermined time, determining whether the low heating mode flag information is a valid flag; if YES, By setting the flag information to an invalid flag and setting the flag information to a valid flag in the case of NO, thereby allowing the user to set the flag information of the weak heating mode as necessary, for example , when the current outdoor temperature is relatively high, the user can set this flag information to an invalid flag to avoid affecting the user's comfort experience due to the heating of the air conditioner when the temperature is high. It is possible.
