Title:
AIR CONDITIONER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/032239
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an air conditioner and a method of controlling the same. The air conditioner, which includes an outdoor unit and a plurality of indoor units connected to the outdoor unit for performing a cooling or heating operation, includes a plurality of sensors, a communication unit receiving data measured by each of the sensors, and a control unit for controlling operation in a set mode, in response to the data measured by the sensor, input from the communication unit, so as to discharge cold or hot air to an interior, wherein the sensor immediately converts a measured value on a sensing target into a digital signal, and transmits the converted data to the communication unit. Thus, the air conditioner can minimize the movement of signals relative to values measured by the sensors, and digitize and transmit the measured values, thereby minimizing the distortion of the signals or errors in the measured values. Therefore, when the air conditioner is controlled based on the values measured by the sensors, the air conditioner has improved control accuracy and operation efficiency.
