  • Patent number: 11815276
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for controlling an air conditioner, and a computer storage medium, and relates to the technical field of intelligent household appliances. The method includes acquiring a current physical characteristic parameter of an air conditioner user in a current sampling timeframe; and adjusting either or both of a current set temperature and a current compressor frequency of the air conditioner according to the current physical characteristic parameter and current energy consumption of the air conditioner when the current physical characteristic parameter falls within a set range of parameters in sleep. Therefore, energy conservation and a comfortable user experience are compatible, thereby providing more functions for the control of the air conditioner in the sleep mode.

  • Patent number: 11552818
    Abstract: A relay device and a multi-split control system that achieve reliable communication between an outdoor air conditioning unit and multiple indoor units under the condition that the length of a communication bus is limited. The system expands the communication distance by a cascade path formed by a plurality of relay devices. The cascade path transmits control signals sent by a master control device/a specific slave control device (i.e. a slave control device communicating with the master control device or certain relay device) to corresponding slave control devices one by one, and the corresponding slave control devices transmit the signals to the master control device/specific slave control device according to a response signal fed back by the control signal, where the relay devices may respectively communicate with a source node device and a destination node device on the basis of the master-slave type communication mode.
