An air conditioner including an indoor unit housing; an indoor heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with air flowing into the indoor unit housing; a compressor configured to compress a refrigerant for a cooling operation or a heating operation performed by the air conditioner; a four-way valve configured to switch a circulation direction of the refrigerant based on whether the air conditioner is to perform the cooling operation or the heating operation; a first blower fan located in the indoor unit housing and configured to blow heat-exchanged air out of the indoor unit housing; a second blower fan located in the indoor unit housing at a higher position than the first blower fan and configured to blow heat-exchanged air out of the indoor unit housing; and a processor electrically connected to the compressor, the four-way valve, the first blower fan, and the second blower fan, and configured to, during the heating operation, adjust a rotational speed of the first blower fan to be higher than a rotational speed of the second blower fan.

Air conditioner and controlling method thereof

An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a housing with separate channels, a heat exchanger, two fans, a driver, and a controller. The heat exchanger exchanges heat with air in one channel, while the two fans expel air from separate channels. The driver operates the fans, and the controller regulates their operation based on indoor and outdoor temperatures, selectively activating a second fan of the two fans according to preset temperature conditions.

Air conditioner and method for controlling same

An air conditioner which comprises: a temperature sensor; and a processor that obtains, based on receiving a turn-on command for the air conditioner, a first temperature value sensed through the temperature sensor; based on a threshold time elapsing subsequent to the receiving of the turn-on command, obtains a second temperature value sensed through the temperature sensor; and provides notification information related to an environment in which the air conditioner is installed, on the basis of the first temperature value and the second temperature value.

Air conditioner and controlling method therefor

An air conditioner and a method for controlling same are disclosed. An air conditioner according to the disclosure comprises: an indoor unit including an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan; an outdoor unit including a compressor; at least one sensor; at least one memory storing instructions; and at least one processor to execute the instructions to identify a freezing process to form ice-capsules on a surface of the indoor heat exchange according to a first relative humidity sensed through the at least one sensor, control the indoor fan and the compressor to operate in the identified freezing process so that the ice-capsules are formed, identify a thawing process to thaw the formed ice-capsules according to a second relative humidity sensed through the at least one sensor while the indoor fan and the compressor are operating in the identified freezing process, and control the indoor fan to operate in the identified thawing process.

An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a display, a storage configured to store power consumption information and time information which are required to increase or decrease an indoor temperature by a unit temperature according to an outdoor temperature, a sensor, and a processor configured to predict, based on a desired temperature being input, at least one of a power consumption or a required time for the indoor temperature to reach the desired temperature by the sensor based on information stored in the storage, and provide at least one of the predicted power consumption or the required time through the display.

Air conditioner providing information on time and/or power required to reach a desired temperature and method for control thereof

Provided is a home appliance of determining an operation command corresponding to an occupant through learning based on setting information of the home appliance according to the occupant to provide an operation satisfying all occupants. An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes: an outdoor unit; and an indoor unit including a heat exchanger, wherein the indoor unit includes: a communicator configured to communicate with an access point (AP); and a controller configured to receive information about a terminal connected to the access point through the communicator, and change at least one of operation temperature or an operation mode when a new terminal is connected to the access point or a terminal connected to the access point is disconnected from the access point.

Home appliance and control method for the same

An air conditioning device is provided. The air conditioning device includes an image sensor, and a processor configured to identify an object based on edge information included in an image acquired through the image sensor, and control an operation of the air conditioning device based on the type information of the identified object.

Air conditioning device and control method thereof

A server is provided. The server includes a communication device configured to receive operation information from an air conditioner, a memory configured to store information of a plurality of groups and a cooling capacity prediction model for predicting a cooling capacity that corresponds to each of the plurality of groups, and a processor to map the air conditioner to one group among the plurality of groups based on the received operation information, and control the communication device to enable the air conditioner to use the cooling capacity prediction model corresponding to the mapped group.
