Problems solved by technology

[0004] Recently, air conditioners have been proposed to be equipped with a device for capturing images to check whether there are people in the room. However, simply judging whether there are people in the room can only realize simple control of the operation of opening and closing the indoor unit, so that users feel comfortable. There are limitations
[0005] In addition, in the case of using a plurality of imaging devices to determine people in a room three-dimensionally, it is necessary to provide a plurality of imaging devices, so the manufacturing cost increases, and a processor for processing three-dimensional images is required, so the load increases, and there is a problem that it cannot be quickly detected. indoor people problem

Abstract

The invention relates to an air conditioner and a controlling method thereof. The air conditioner detects indoor person and judges position of the indoor person through two dimension image data shot by a camera device of the air conditioner, simplifies complicated image treatment process, reduces cost, can correctly judge position of indoor person, and provides comfortable environment for indoor person by utilizing the information, thereby having effect of improving satisfaction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioner and a control method thereof, and more particularly to an air conditioner and a control method thereof for controlling people in a room by detecting and judging their positions using image data captured by an imaging device. Background technique [0002] In order to create a comfortable indoor environment, the air conditioner discharges warm and cold air into the room, adjusts the indoor temperature, and purifies the indoor air, thereby providing a more comfortable indoor environment for humans. Generally, an air conditioner includes an indoor unit configured with a heat exchanger and installed indoors, and an outdoor unit configured with a compressor, a heat exchanger, etc., and supplies refrigerant to the indoor unit. [0003] This kind of air conditioner can be divided into the following types: separate air conditioner in which the indoor unit and outdoor unit are separated; integrated air conditio...
