Abstract: A method of controlling a ceiling type air conditioner including a panel located on a ceiling surface, outlets formed at positions corresponding to four sides of the panel, a first vane group for opening and closing the outlets located at two opposing sides, and a second vane group for opening and closing the outlets located at the other two opposing sides includes performing a dynamic airflow mode in which an indoor temperature reaches a set temperature by controlling rotation angles of the first vane group and the second vane group, and calculating a pleasant airflow index Y for determining a pleasant feeling of a user at the set temperature. The pleasant airflow index is calculated using the indoor temperature, the rotation angle of the first vane group or the second vane group, an air volume, a distance from a floor surface and an airflow position as variables.

Abstract: An air conditioner and a method for controlling an air conditioner are provided. The method may include acquiring a top view image for an indoor space using an imaging device and calculating a height of a ceiling in which an indoor device may be mounted; determining whether an image is a human body or an obstacle, with respect to at least one image included in the to view image; and performing control of the indoor device to allow air flow to avoid an obstacle and be discharged toward a human body by controlling driving of an indoor fan or one or more discharge vane provided in the indoor device.

Abstract: An air conditioner and a method for controlling an air conditioner are provided. The method for controlling an air conditioner may include determining a user set temperature and performing an air cooling operation or an air heating operation in an indoor space; determining whether a user is present in the indoor space; when it is determined that the user is absent from the indoor space, counting an elapsed time; and when the elapsed time reaches a set time, performing a predetermined operation mode.
