Abstract
A method for controlling an air conditioner including: determining at least one first air conditioner within a first preset distance from the air conditioner; determining control information of the air conditioner based on current operating state of the at least one first air conditioner; and controlling operation of the air conditioner according to the control information of the air conditioner. An electronic device and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.
Claims14
A method for controlling an air conditioner, the method comprising:
- determining existence of at least one first air conditioner within a first range of said air conditioner, wherein the first range is determined based on a first preset distance from said air conditioner;
- in response to a determination of the existence of the at least one first air conditioner, obtaining control information of said air conditioner, comprising:
- obtaining a current operating state of the at least one first air conditioner,
- determining a control parameter corresponding to the current operating state of the at least one first air conditioner, and
- designating the control parameter as the control information of said air conditioner;
- and
- controlling operation of said air conditioner according to the control information of said air conditioner,
- wherein the determining the existence of the at least one first air conditioner within the first range of said air conditioner comprises:
- collecting an Internet Protocol (IP) address of said air conditioner;
- calculating geographical location of said air conditioner according to a longitude and a latitude of said air conditioner converted from the IP address;
- and
- determining the existence of the at least one first air conditioner within the first range based on the geographic location.

- determining existence of at least one first air conditioner within a first range of said air conditioner, wherein the first range is determined based on a first preset distance from said air conditioner;
- in response to a determination of the existence of the at least one first air conditioner, obtaining control information of said air conditioner, comprising:
- obtaining a current operating state of the at least one first air conditioner,
- determining a control parameter corresponding to the current operating state of the at least one first air conditioner, and
- designating the control parameter as the control information of said air conditioner;
- and
- controlling operation of said air conditioner according to the control information of said air conditioner,
- wherein the determining the existence of the at least one first air conditioner within the first range of said air conditioner comprises:
- collecting an Internet Protocol (IP) address of said air conditioner;
- calculating geographical location of said air conditioner according to a longitude and a latitude of said air conditioner converted from the IP address;
- and
- determining the existence of the at least one first air conditioner within the first range based on the geographic location.
