CONTROL METHOD OF AIR CONDITIONER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit the automatic adjustment of a human sensor by a method wherein a reference value is corrected based on a fluctuating value of the output of the human sensor with respect to a time. SOLUTION: The operation mode of an air conditioner is divided into four kinds of 'usual', 'stopping', 'moderate' and 'sound sleep'. Upon the 'usual' mode, the usual operation of the air conditioner is effected based on the set value of a room temperature, set by a remote controller or the like, as well as a room temperature, while the operation is stopped after maintaining a condition before changing for three minutes upon the 'stopping' mode. At this moment, a lamp for indicating the 'stopping' is lighted. Upon the 'moderate' mode, a room temperature set value is changed into 13 deg.C under heating operation while the room temperature set value is changed into 30 deg.C under cooling/drying operation. In this case, a lamp showing the 'moderate' is lighted. Upon the 'sound sleep' operation mode, the set temperature is controlled so as to be lowered as a time is elapsed under the heating operation while the set temperature is controlled so as to be increased under cooling/dehumidifying operation. According to this method, the fluctuation of an indoor temperature can be restrained by setting the operation mode of 'stopping' upon going out for a long period of time while the fluctuation of the same can be restrained by setting the operation mode of 'moderate' upon going out for a short period of time, for examples.
