<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air conditioner capable of improving air-conditioning efficiency and achieving comfortable air conditioning by grasping presence or absence and positions of people in a room, and realizing a blowout air current meeting preference of residents. <P>SOLUTION: An area to be air-conditioned is divided into a plurality of areas by a plurality of human detection sensors provided in an indoor unit. A wind direction controller is provided controlling one or both of a direction of a vertical blade or a direction of a horizontal blade provided on a blowout opening of the indoor unit in response to reaction results of the human detection sensors. By controlling a wind direction so as to direct the blowout air current from the blowout opening to directions of areas with no people other than areas with people, and providing a temperature correction value correcting a desired set temperature, not only is a feeling of air current improved by not directly hitting the blowout air current on a person, but also air-conditioning capacity can be optimized such that insufficiency of an air-conditioning feeling does not occur due to not directing the blowout air current on a person, and peripheries of the residents can be retained at a temperature giving a feeling of comfortableness. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
