Abstract

The present invention discloses an air conditioner control device, air conditioning system, and air conditioner control method. The air conditioner control device of the present invention comprises a base and a controller. The base senses a temperature or humidity of a first environment. The controller can be optionally combined with or detached from the base. When the controller is detached from the base, the controller senses a temperature or humidity of a second environment and communicates with the base using a wireless network protocol. By doing so, the output of an air conditioner can be flexibly adjusted depending on the environment that a user is in.

Claims

1. An air conditioner control device, comprising:

a base for sensing a temperature or humidity of a first environment; and

a controller, which can be optionally combined with or detached from the base;

wherein when the controller is detached from the base, the controller senses a temperature or humidity of a second environment and communicates with the base using a wireless network protocol.

2. The air conditioner control device according to claim 1, wherein the controller communicates with the base using a wired transmission technique when the controller is combined with the base.

3. The air conditioner control device according to claim 1, wherein the controller communicates with at least one electrical device within an area through the base based on the wireless network protocol.

4. The air conditioner control device according to claim 1, wherein the base incorporates Wi-Fi technology.

5. The air conditioner control device according to claim 1, wherein the controller and the base are combined with each other by a pin connection unit.

6. An air conditioning system, comprising an air conditioner and an air conditioner control device according to claim 1, wherein the air conditioner control device controls output of the air conditioner.

7. An air conditioning system, comprising an air conditioner and an air conditioner control device according to claim 2, wherein the air conditioner control device controls output of the air conditioner.

8. An air conditioning system, comprising an air conditioner and an air conditioner control device according to claim 3, wherein the air conditioner control device controls output of the air conditioner.

9. An air conditioning system, comprising an air conditioner and an air conditioner control device according to claim 4, wherein the air conditioner control device controls output of the air conditioner.

10. An air conditioning system, comprising an air conditioner and an air conditioner control device according to claim 5, wherein the air conditioner control device controls output of the air conditioner.

11. An air conditioner control method, comprising:

arranging a base in a first environment to sense a temperature or humidity thereof;

providing a controller which can be optionally combined with or detached from the base;

enabling the controller to sense a temperature or humidity of a second environment when the controller is detached from the base; and

enabling the controller to communicate with the base using a wireless network protocol.

12. The air conditioner control method according to claim 11, further comprising:

enabling the controller to communicate with the base via a wired transmission technique when the controller is combined with the base.

13. The air conditioner control method according to claim 11, further comprising:

enabling the controller to communicate with at least one electrical device within an area through the base based on the wireless network protocol.

14. The air conditioner control method according to claim 11, wherein the base incorporates Wi-Fi technology.

15. The air conditioner control method according to claim 11, further comprising:

enabling the controller and the base to be combined with each other by a pin connection unit.
