METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AIR CONDITIONER, AND AIR CONDITIONER
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an air conditioner, the method comprising:
- sensing, by an air conditioner control apparatus, a user action requesting a temperature control;
checking whether one of a common control mode in which a setting temperature is controlled at a first temperature control interval and a minute control mode in which the setting temperature is controlled at a second temperature control interval, which is less than the first temperature control interval, is selected in response to the sensed user action;
calculating the setting temperature based on the user action and a result of the checking; and
transmitting the calculated setting temperature to the air conditioner.

8. An air conditioner control apparatus comprising:
-
a user interface unit configured to sense a user action requesting a temperature control; a storage unit including a memory configured to store a first temperature control interval and a second temperature control interval which is less than the first temperature control interval; a control unit configured to check whether one of a common control mode in which a setting temperature is controlled at a first temperature control interval and a minute control mode in which the setting temperature is controlled at a second temperature control interval is selected in response to the sensed user action, and to calculate the setting temperature based on the user action and a result of the checking; and a transmit unit configured to transmit the calculated setting temperature to an air conditioner. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
