- a comfort zone ranges of temperature and humidity (called as a comfort zone) are fixed uniformly, in which it is considered that a user feels comfortable, and the related art air conditioner is controlled such that a space (called as a 'cooling space') intended to cool, such as a room, is within the comfort zone.
- the comfort zone set by ASHRAE is used as the comfort zone, which falls on zone in which the temperature is in a range of 22 ⁇ 26°C, and the relative humidity is in a range of 30 ⁇ 60%. That is, in the related art, no user who uses the air conditioner is taken into account, the air conditioner is controlled uniformly such that the cooling space is within the comfort zone.
- the comfort zone differs from person to person, it is not preferable to fix the comfort zone uniformly. That is, a temperature, and a humidity at which one person feels comfortable may not be comfortable to other person.
- the comfort zone differs significantly depending on personal, or subjective factors, such as health conditions, physical constitutions, years, months, and days of births, biorhythms, races, sex, age, occupations, and the like.
- the inventor notes that personal sensitivities to the temperature, humidity, flow rate, and wind speed have close relations with the health conditions, the physical constitutions, and the years, months, and days of births (four pillars).
- the inventor also notes that other personal factors, such as ages, sex, and races give secondary influences to the sensitivities of temperature, and humidity.
- the users of the air conditioner are classified into types, and different comfort zones are set for the different types of users.
- the user types are classified with reference to preset criteria, different comfort zones (hereafter called as "modified comfort zone") are fixed according to the different user types, and the air conditioner is controlled such that the cooling space is within ranges of the modified comfort zone. That is, as shown in arrows in FIG. 1, it is preferable that the comfort zone on the psychrometric chart is shifted appropriately according to the user type.
- the method for controlling an air conditioner in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of providing user information of the air conditioner (S3), classifying a user type based on the user information (S5), determining a comfort zone according to the user type (S7), and controlling the air conditioner to achieve the comfort zone (S9).
- S3 user information of the air conditioner
- S5 user information of the air conditioner
- S7 user type
- S9 comfort zone according to the user type

- Basic data for classifying the user type i.e., the user information will be described.
- the user information is dependent on each user, and preferably, at least one kinds of basic information intrinsic to the user, that is not changeable, variable information that that is variable depending on a user's state, and selective information that is selected by the user, and therefore has a strong sense of subjectivity.
- the basic information is intrinsic information if the user is fixed, such as, race, sex, year, month, and day of birth, and face shape, of the user.
- the variable information is information that, though not intrinsic, can influence to the personal sensitivities to the temperature and humidity, and variable depending on a user's state, such as the present health condition, and personal disease history.
- the selective information is basic information that can be made objective to a certain degree, and information that, different from the variable information, has a strong sense of subjectivity, such as information representing a degree of sensitivity to a temperature, and humidity the user feels. Based on above user information, the type of the user is fixed.
- the user type can be classified in a variety of methods, since the air conditioner is controllable with respect to a temperature, humidity, a wind direction, and a wind speed of the air, it is preferable that the classification represents degrees of sensitivities to the temperature, the humidity, the wind direction, and the wind speed. In the meantime, there can be a variety of methods for fixing the user type.
- a correlation between the user information and the user type can be determined, statistically. However, it is verified from the researches of the inventor that it is very desirable if the user type is classified according to eastern medicine coupled with eastern philosophic theories. For an example, the inventor's research reveals that the five elementary physical constitutions show very close correlation with the sensitivities to the temperature, humidity, the wind direction, and wind speed.
- the inventor suggests classifying the user types by the five elementary physical constitutions.
- the five elementary physical constitutions are major factors that influence to health of the five viscera and six entrails, and classified into wood, fire, earth, metal, and water types.

- the inventor's research reveals that the five elementary physical constitutions of the user can be known relatively readily from a face shape of the user, and an aspect ratio of the user face. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the five elementary physical constitutions can be determined by a width of a particular part of the face 'F', and a length of the face may be added thereto, further.
- the five elementary physical constitutions can be classified with reference to at least two of a width 'u' of an upper part of the face, i.e., a width in a neighborhood of the temples, or a forehead, a width 'c' in a neighborhood of cheekbone, and a width T in a neighborhood of a lower part of the face, i.e., a jaw, and the length 'h' of the face may be added thereto. That is, the five elementary physical constitutions can be represented with a function of the width of the upper part of the face, the width of a central part of the face, the width of the lower part of the face, and the length.
- the user types may be simply classified into wood, fire, earth, metal, and water types, it is preferable that the user types are classified into a degree of proximity to one of the types, such as a user has much (strong), or small (weak) wood type nature of physical constitution. It is more preferable that the user types are classified into degrees of proximities to different types, such as a user has much earth type nature, and small metal type nature of physical constitutions. Relations between the user types by the five elementary physical constitutions and the user sensitivities to the temperature, the humidity, the wind direction, and the wind speed will be described, with reference to FIG. 4.

If the fire type characteristic is fairly high in the user, the user dislikes heat. If the earth type characteristic is fairly high in the user, the user fairly adaptive to a comparatively high humidity. If the metal type characteristic is fairly high in the user, the user is adaptive to dryness. If the water type characteristic is fairly high in the user, the user dislikes cold.
- the comfort zone is modified according to the characteristics of the five elementary physical constitutions, and the air conditioner is controlled such that the cooling space is within the modified comfort zone, the most comfortable cooling space can be provided to the user.
- the control of an air conditioner according to the five elementary physical constitutions will be described, with reference to FIGS. 5 ⁇ 8.
- increment/decrement of the temperature, humidity, and the like represent increment/decrement with reference to conditions (An ASHRAE comfort zone) of a temperature, and humidity of 25°C and 45% in the case of summer, and of the temperature, and humidity of 22°C and 50% in the case of winter.
