Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air conditioners cannot automatically determine the target temperature for air-conditioning control, requiring user input and lacking notification of automatic control operations to the user.
Innovation Solution
An air conditioner system that includes an air-conditioning storage and controller, which acquires external air temperature, determines a target temperature based on temperature criteria, and notifies a terminal to present this target temperature to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the air conditioner operates in automatic mode to determine operation mode, then automation level is improved, but the system cannot automatically determine target temperature and still requires user input
Solution Approach 1:
The air conditioner determines the target temperature automatically based on external air temperature and stored temperature determination criteria, without requiring user input. The system serves itself by autonomously selecting operation mode and setting target temperature according to environmental conditions and pre-stored criteria.
2Extent of automation
If the air conditioner executes automatic control, then automation level is improved, but the user is not notified of the control operations executed
Solution Approach 1:
The air conditioner notifies the terminal of the determined target temperature and operation mode, providing feedback information to the user about the automatic control operations being executed. This allows the user to understand what the system is doing automatically.

AI summary
An air conditioner includes an air-conditioning storage and an air-conditioning controller, and performs air-conditioning control so that an indoor temperature of a control space approaches a target temperature. The air-conditioning storage stores a temperature determination criterion relevant to the external air temperature of the control space. The air-conditioning controller acquires an external air temperature of the control space, determines a target temperature for the control space based on the external air temperature and the temperature determination criterion, and notifies a terminal relevant to the air conditioner of the determined target temperature.
