- control unit 40 controls the wind direction adjusting unit 30 such that the indirect wind having the input cooling and heating temperatures can be indirectly directed toward at least three of the air-conditioning sections Z 1 to Z 9 .
- the control unit 50 corrects the input cooling and heating temperatures into preset corrected cooling and heating temperatures. Further, the control unit 50 controls the wind direction adjusting unit 30 such that the hot wind having the corrected heating temperature or the cool wind having the corrected heating temperature is directed toward at least three of the air-conditioning sections Z 1 to Z 9 as the indirect wind. At this point, the corrected cooling temperature is set to be higher than the input cooling temperature by 2° C. and the corrected heating temperature is set to be lower than the input heating temperature by 2° C.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an air-conditioning process by an air conditioner controlling method of an embodiment.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a cooling mode case.
- the present invention can be identically applied to a heat mode case.
- the input cooling temperature is first input to the input the unit 20 (S 11 ).
- other manipulation signals such as a wind volume may be further input to the input unit 20 .
- the air-conditioning unit 10 starts the air-conditioning with the input cooling temperature input to the input unit 20 (S 13 ). That is, the air-conditioning unit 10 generates a cool wind having the input cooling temperature and sends the cool wind to the indoor space.
- the location detecting unit 40 detects if the user is located in the indoor space (S 15 ). In more detail, the location detecting unit 40 detects if the user exists in one of the air-conditioning sections Z 1 to Z 9 .
- control unit 50 determines if the user exists in one of the air-conditioning sections Z 1 and Z 9 or not in accordance with the user's location detected by the location detecting unit 40 (S 17 ).
- the control unit controls the cool wind generated by the air-conditioning unit 10 as the direct or indirect wind in accordance with the existence of the user in one of the air-conditioning sections Z 1 to Z 9 or corrects the input cooling temperature into the preset corrected cooling temperature.
- the control unit 50 controls the wind direction adjusting unit 30 such that the cool wind having the input cooling temperature and generated from the air-conditioning unit 10 is directly directed to one of the air-conditioning sections Z 1 to Z 9 where the user exits (S 19 ). Therefore, the user existing in one of the air-conditioning sections Z 1 to Z 9 can feel the more comfort.
- control unit 50 determines if the air-conditioning is finished (S 21 ). It can be determined whether the air-conditioning is finished in accordance with the finish of the air-conditioning time that is set by a manipulation signal input to the input unit 20 or whether a manipulation signal for finishing the air-conditioning is put by the user. When it is determined that the air-conditioning is not finished, Step 15 and the followings are performed.
- the control unit 50 controls the wind direction adjusting unit 30 such that the cool wind having the input cooling temperature and generated by the air-conditioning unit 10 is formed in the indirect wind directing toward at least three of the air-conditioning sections Z 1 to Z 9 (S 23 ).
- the control unit 50 may control the wind direction adjusting unit 30 such that the indirect wind is directed to substantially all of the air-conditioning sections Z 1 to Z 9 .
- the location detecting unit 40 detects the user's location (S 25 ).
- the control unit 50 determines if the user exists in the indoor space in accordance with the user's location detected by the location detecting unit 40 S 27 .
- the control unit 50 When it is determined that the user exits in the indoor space, the control unit 50 , Step 19 and the following steps are performed. However, when it is determined that the user does not exist in the indoor space, the control unit determines if a preset detection time has elapsed (S 29 ). When it is determined that the preset detection time has elapsed, the control unit 50 corrects the input cooling temperature into the preset corrected cooling temperature and controls the wind direction adjusting unit 30 such that the air-conditioning sections Z 1 to Z 9 are cooled according to the preset corrected cooling temperature (S 31 ). However, when it is determined that the preset detection time has not elapsed, Step 23 and the following steps are preformed.
- the cool and hot winds generated by the air-conditioning unit are formed in the direct or indirect wind in accordance with whether the user exists in the indoor space. Therefore, the user's comfort can be enhanced.
- the input cooling or heating temperature is corrected when it is detected that the user does not exist in the indoor space for the preset time. Therefore, when the user does not exist in the indoor space, the cooling or heating load can be substantially reduced and thus the cooling and heating can be more economically realized.
