US 11,530,836 B2 · Air conditioner and control method thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an air conditioner and a control method thereof. The control method of the air conditioner is capable of acquiring a voice of a user including a state of the user, transmitting the voice of the user to an external server, receiving, from the external server, a control command acquired by using a cooling tendency of the user and the state of the user determined on the basis of a usage history of the air conditioner, and controlling the air conditioner on the basis of the control command. In particular, at least a part of a method of acquiring a control command on the basis of a cooling tendency of a user may use an artificial intelligence model trained according to at least one of machine learning, a neural network, and deep learning algorithms.

Dependent claims

A method for controlling an air conditioner, the method comprising:

obtaining a user voice including a state of a user;
transmitting the user voice to an external server;
receiving, from the external server, a control command obtained using a cooling tendency of the user determined based on a usage history of the air conditioner and the state of the user;
and
controlling the air conditioner based on the control command,
wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting, to the external server, sensing data detected by the air conditioner and identification information of the air conditioner together with the user voice.

3 more elements

An air conditioner comprising:

a communicator;
a cooler;
a sensor configured to detect a state of an area where the air conditioner is located;
a memory storing at least one instruction;
and
a processor configured to be electrically connected to the communicator, the cooler, and the memory and control the air conditioner,
wherein the processor, by executing the at least one instruction, is configured to:
obtaining a user voice including a state of a user,
based on the user voice including the state of the user being obtained, control the communicator to transmit the user voice to an external server,
control the communicator to transmit, to the external server, sensing data detected by the sensor and identification information of the air conditioner together with the user voice,
receive, from the external server via the communicator, a control command obtained using a cooling tendency of the user determined based on a usage history of the air conditioner and the state of the users, and
control the cooler based on the control command.
