Abstract

Provided is a method for controlling an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes an air-conditioning unit having a plurality of components constituting a heat exchange cycle, a location detecting sensor detecting a location of a learner in an indoor space, and a control unit controlling the air-conditioning unit. The control unit controls the air-conditioning unit such that the air-conditioning unit repeatedly generates a direct or indirection wind directing toward the learner detected by the location detecting sensor by at least one time as time has elapsed.
