Abstract

A method for controlling selection of air conditioning (A/C) environmental modes according to user'"'"'s requirements to provide a most comfortable A/C environment includes at least the following steps: establishing setting value parameters of control conditions for various environmental modes; selecting a use environmental mode; getting detection values of the control conditions of an A/C environment; comparing the setting values of the control conditions of the selected environmental mode with the detection values and sending out control commands; and operating an A/C equipment according to the control commands. Therefore users can select a corresponding A/C environmental mode according to individual requirements. Through selection of the environmental mode and operation control of the A/C equipment, optimal setting value parameters matching with various environmental modes suitable to individual users can be obtained. The personalized setting value parameters can be downloaded from a personal information device to other A/C equipment equipped with a common communication protocol so that control of personalized comfort and energy saving can be accomplished in different building spaces.

Claims

1. A method for controlling selection of air conditioning (A/C) environmental modes according to user'"'"'s requirements comprising at least the steps of:

establishing setting value parameters of control conditions for various environmental modes;

selecting a use environmental mode;

getting detection values of the control conditions of an A/C environment;

comparing the setting values of the control conditions of the selected environmental mode with the detection values and sending out control commands; and

operating an A/C equipment according to the control commands.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the setting value at the step of establishing setting value parameters of control conditions for various environmental modes includes temperature, humidity and airflow (air speed).

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the setting value at the step of establishing setting value parameters of control conditions for various environmental modes includes carbon dioxide.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the setting value at the step of establishing setting value parameters of control conditions for various environmental modes includes noise amount.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the detection values at the step of getting detection values of the control conditions of an A/C environment include detection values of temperature, humidity and airflow (air speed).

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the detection values at the step of getting detection values of the control conditions of an A/C environment include detection values of carbon dioxide.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the detection values at the step of getting detection values of the control conditions of an A/C environment include detection values of noise amount.

8. The method of claim 1 further including a step of sending the setting value parameters of control conditions to a personal information device by downloading from a portable personal information device via a wireless transmission means to a control unit of other A/C equipment equipped with a common communication protocol.
