摘要

An air conditioner control system using a telephone network and a method for operating the same, wherein a remote electronic device (200) is connected to a plurality of air conditioners (100) in a home or building through the telephone network at a remote site to input a control command to each of the air conditioners (100), and a control program is run in the remote electronic device (200) to register information about settings of the air conditioners. The air conditioners (100) are adapted to transmit and receive signals over the telephone network. The remote electronic device (200) is adapted to drive the control program to receive the setting information of the plurality of air conditioners (100), register the received setting information and input control commands to some or all of the air conditioners on the basis of the registered setting information. If a specific control command is inputted by a remote user, then it is automatically transmitted to a corresponding one of the air conditioners (100) with reference to the registered setting information of the corresponding air conditioner. Therefore, there is no need to perform a manual setting/manual transmission operation, resulting in an improvement in the convenience of remote control.
