Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for controlling an air conditioner and method for controlling the same, and more particularly, to a system for controlling an air conditioner and method for controlling the same which can make real time control for maintaining system reliability, can make real time control of air conditioners while minimizing a network load to minimize a load on a server, and can prevent transmission and reception delay of a data.
Claims19
A system for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:
- a gateway for transmitting at first time periods at least one of state information and operation information concerning at least one of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit of the air conditioner and for transmitting at second time periods a control sensing signal for sensing a control order for controlling the air conditioner, wherein the first time periods are different from the second time periods;
- and
- a data collecting server for receiving the control sensing signal and the at least one of state information and operation information and for transmitting a control signal to the gateway in response to the control sensing signal if the control order is sensed.
A method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting at least one of state information and operation information concerning at least one of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit of the air conditioner, wherein the information is transmitted at first time periods through a gateway associated with the air conditioner;
- transmitting a control sensing signal for sensing a control order for controlling the air conditioner, wherein the control sensing signal is transmitted through the gateway at second times periods different from the first time periods;
- and
- receiving, at the gateway, a control signal in response to the transmission of the control sensing signal if the control order is sensed.
A method for controlling an air conditioner, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at least one of state information and operation information concerning at least one of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit of the air conditioner, wherein the information is received at first time periods by a data collecting server;
- and
- receiving a control sensing signal for sensing a control order for controlling the air conditioner, wherein the control sensing signal is received by the data collecting server at second time periods different from the first time periods;
- and
- transmitting, by the data collecting server, a control signal in response to the receiving of the control sensing signal if the control order is sensed.
