INDOOR UNIT OF AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus, comprising:
- a main body installed on a wall surface in a room and including a main-body communication device, anda wireless remote controller including a wireless-remote-controller communication device that makes communication with the main-body communication device by using a signal,wherein the main body has an air inlet and an air outlet, the main body including a fan that sucks indoor air from the air inlet and forms an air path to the air outlet, a heat exchanger that is arranged in the air path and executes part of a refrigeration cycle, an image pickup device that captures an image of the inside of the room, and a controller that causes the main-body communication device and the wireless-remote-controller communication device to make communication by using a signal,wherein the controller associates a motion of a person whose image is captured by the image pickup device with one of previously registered air-conditioning conditions, based on a remote-controller instruction condition which is an air-conditioning condition corresponding to a signal sent from the wireless-remote-controller communication device or based on the motion, the controller controls at least one of the fan and the refrigeration cycle based on a gesture instruction condition which is the associated air-conditioning condition, and the controller causes the main-body communication device to send a signal corresponding to the gesture instruction condition, andwherein the wireless remote controller includes a wireless-remote-controller display device, and when the wireless-remote-controller communication device receives the signal corresponding to the gesture instruction condition, the wireless-remote-controller display device displays the gesture instruction condition.

Abstract
An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus is provided, in which an air-conditioning condition changed based on a gesture corresponds to an air-conditioning condition displayed on a display device of a remote controller. With an indoor unit 100, when a user U1 performs a predetermined motion (S1-1), a controller 70 determines the motion of the user U1 (S1-2), recognizes that a gesture instruction condition is instructed (S1-3), controls a heat exchanger 4 and other devices based on the gesture instruction signal (S1-4), and causes the gesture instruction signal to be sent to a remote-controller communication device 85 (S1-5). When a remote controller 80 receives the gesture instruction signal (S1-6), the gesture instruction condition is displayed on a remote-controller display device 82 (S1-7), and buzzer sound (electronic beeper sound) is output from a remote-controller sound output device 83 (S1-8).
