When receiving a twelfth operation signal for the first temperature control slider, the control device acquires a second target temperature according to the twelfth operation signal and controls the air conditioner to switch to a target working state corresponding to the second target temperature in the first area. The control device sends a twelfth control signal to the touch screen, so that the touch screen correspondingly switches the display state of the first temperature control slider.

When receiving a thirteenth operation signal aiming at the second temperature icon, the control device sends a thirteenth control signal according to the thirteenth operation signal so as to enable the touch screen to display a second temperature control slide bar as an operation hot area. When receiving a fourteenth operation signal aiming at the second temperature control slider, the control device acquires a second target temperature according to the fourteenth operation signal and controls the air conditioner to switch to a target working state corresponding to the second target temperature in the second area. The control device sends a fourteenth control signal to the touch screen, so that the touch screen correspondingly switches the display state of the second temperature control slider.

In this embodiment, in the state that the dual-zone synchronous mode is turned off, the control device may control the air conditioner to perform temperature adjustment on the plurality of zones respectively, and control the touch screen to perform status display on the plurality of zones respectively, so as to improve user experience.

In an embodiment, the control device is further configured to send a display control signal to the touch screen, so that the touch screen displays the highest temperature value and the lowest temperature value of the adjustable interval on two sides of the temperature control slider, and the temperature value of the current slider is displayed above or below the temperature control slider.

The temperature adjustable interval of the current air conditioning equipment can be visually displayed by displaying the highest temperature value and the lowest temperature value. Meanwhile, the temperature value of the sliding block is displayed, so that the user can conveniently set the temperature value correspondingly.

In an embodiment, when receiving a fifteenth operation signal for the highest temperature value, the control device obtains the highest target temperature according to the fifteenth operation signal, and controls the air conditioner to switch to a target working state corresponding to the highest target temperature. In another embodiment, when receiving a sixteenth operation signal for the lowest temperature value, the control device obtains the lowest target temperature according to the sixteenth operation signal, and controls the air conditioner to switch to the target working state corresponding to the lowest target temperature.

By taking the highest temperature value and the lowest temperature value as the operation hot areas, the highest target temperature can be switched by one key or the lowest target temperature can be switched by one key in the adjustable interval.

In the above embodiment, the different display states of the icons may be displayed by different icons, may be displayed by different brightnesses, may be displayed by different colors, and may be hidden and not displayed as one display state. The acquisition of each operation signal on the touch screen can be acquired by clicking or long-pressing an operation hot area of the touch screen, can also be acquired by sliding the operation hot area of the touch screen, and can even be acquired by clicking or long-pressing each operation hot area by moving a cursor through a mouse or a roller and other instruments.
