Abstract

The invention relates to an air conditioner and a controlling method thereof. The air conditioner determines movement of indoor person through a camera device of the air conditioner, and calculates corresponding movement quantity and body metabolism quantity to change running setting of temperature, wind direction and wind speed, thereby realizing optimum control, increasing efficiency, providing more comfortable environment for indoor person and having effect of improving satisfaction. Especially, the air conditioner detects state of indoor person through tridimensional image or heat imaging image according to indoor temperature distribution shot by a camera component, and executes corresponding air-conditioning operation according to body state of indoor person, to execute corresponding air-conditioning operation according to the body state of indoor person, thereby having advantage of providing comfortable environment suitable for current state of indoor person.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioner and a control method thereof, in particular to an air conditioner and a control method thereof which use data captured by an equipped camera to grasp the physical state of people indoors, and to change and control operating settings. Background technique [0002] In order to create a comfortable indoor environment, the air conditioner discharges warm and cold air into the room, adjusts the indoor temperature, and purifies the indoor air, thereby providing a more comfortable indoor environment for humans. Generally, an air conditioner includes an indoor unit configured with a heat exchanger and installed indoors, and an outdoor unit configured with a compressor, a heat exchanger, etc., and supplies refrigerant to the indoor unit. [0003] This kind of air conditioner can be divided into the following types: separate air conditioner in which the indoor unit and outdoor unit are separated; integrated air...
