Referring to FIG. 10 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the electronic tag further stores manufacturer identification information of the air conditioning module, and the air conditioner stores activatable manufacturer information, and the control method further includes the following steps :

Step 1010: The electronic label reading device reads the manufacturer identification information in the electronic note, and transmits it to the controller;

Step 1020: When the manufacturer identification information does not match the activatable manufacturer information, the controller prohibits the air conditioner from activating the air conditioning function corresponding to the air conditioning module and/or sends an alarm signal.

Among them, the air conditioner saves the label information read from the electronic label of the air conditioning module through the electronic label reader, which can be in units of the air conditioning module. For example, the label information of the air conditioning module 1 is: (function identification information , remaining use time, module identification code, manufacturer identification information, use period), the label information of air conditioning module 2 is: (function identification information, remaining use time, module identification code, manufacturer identification information, use period), air conditioning The label information of the adjustment module 3 is: (function identification information, remaining use time, module identification code, manufacturer identification information, and expiration date). In addition, the electronic label of the air-conditioning module can also store information such as production date and factory date.

In addition, the air conditioning functions that the air conditioner can activate are, for example: (purification function, formaldehyde removal function, HEPA filter function, humidification function, deodorization function, fresh air function, plasma treatment function), when the function identification information of the air conditioning module 1 corresponds to The module function of the air conditioner is the humidification function, and the remaining use time is not zero, the humidification function of the air conditioner can be activated, such as forming a list of functions that can be enabled by the air conditioner: (humidification); when the function identification information of the air conditioning module 2 corresponds to the module If the function is fresh air and the remaining usage time is not zero, the fresh air function can be further activated and added to the list of functions that can be enabled by the air conditioner. The list of functions that can be enabled is updated to: (humidification, fresh air). In the same way, the judgment of other air-conditioning modules is analogous.

In one embodiment, the activatable manufacturer information stored in the air conditioner may be stored in the form of a manufacturer list. For example, the list of manufacturers for the formaldehyde removal function is: (Manufacturer 1, Manufacturer 2), when The module function corresponding to the function identification information is formaldehyde removal, and the remaining use time is not zero, then it is further judged whether the manufacturer of the air conditioning module 3 is in the list of manufacturers of the formaldehyde removal function. In the list of manufacturers of the formaldehyde function, the formaldehyde removal function can be activated and the list of enabled functions can be updated to (humidification, fresh air, formaldehyde removal); if the manufacturer of the air conditioning module 3 is not in the list of manufacturers of the formaldehyde removal function, then Indicates that the manufacturer of the air conditioning module 3 does not belong to the designated manufacturer, the air conditioner cannot activate the formaldehyde removal function, and the formaldehyde removal function cannot be enabled, so there is no need to update the list of functions that can be enabled by the air conditioner.
