Abstract
An air conditioner and a method of controlling an air conditioner are provided. The air conditioner includes at least one outdoor unit and a plurality of indoor units, each having at least one vane for adjusting wind direction. The method includes classifying the plurality of indoor units by indoor space using air temperature distributions over time detected by first temperature sensors. Relative positions between indoor units in a same space are determined based on floor temperature distributions detected by second temperature sensors. A reference indoor unit is selected, and each individual vane of indoor units adjacent to the reference indoor unit is adjusted. Changes in the air temperature of the reference indoor unit are detected in response to an operation of each individual vane of the adjacent indoor units. A direction of each individual vane of the adjacent indoor units is then determined based on the resulting change in the air temperature of the reference indoor unit.
