<97> The specific intelligent When as one example of the method of operation of an integrated control system 11, a humidity control unit (200) using a humidity sensor measuring the humidity in the room (S110)

<98> Then, the humidity control unit 200 may provide the measured humidity information to a central control unit (100) (S120)

Determines whether to <99> Then, the central control unit 100 calculates the condition for an optimal environment on the basis of the humidity information received, any device must perform some operation (S130)

<100> Subsequently, the central control unit 100 transmits a driving signal for creating an optimal environment to the air blowing unit 400 (S140). For example, in order for the humidifying operation of the humidity adjusting unit 200 to exhibit the optimum effect, the central control unit 100 may be configured to discharge a strong wind to the blowing unit 400 so as to generate strong air convection And to perform an operation. Corresponding to this, the blowing unit 400 transmits a response signal to the drive signal to the central control unit 100 (S145).

<101> the other hand, the humidity control unit 200 again by using a humidity sensor measuring the humidity in the room, and passing the measured humidity information to a central control unit (100) (S150, S160).

<104> provides a concrete If as another example of the operation of the intelligent integrated control system 12, a cleaning unit 300 includes a central status information for their operation the control unit (100) (S210)

<105> Next, the central control unit 100 calculates the condition for an optimal environment based on the information on the indoor environment measurement in the operation state, and a sensor section 170 of the cleaning unit 300, and each And generates an operation command of the devices (S220)

<106> Next, the central control unit 100 transmits a drive signal to create an optimal environment for the blowing unit (400) (S230). For example, when the cleaning unit 300 is operated, the dust that has been sitting on the floor may be diffused, and the contamination degree of the air temporarily may increase. In order to reduce the pollution degree of the air, it is possible to instruct the blowing unit 400 to perform the air purifying function or the ionizer function. Correspondingly, the blowing unit 400 transmits a response signal to the drive signal to the central control unit 100 (S235).

<107> the other hand, the cleaning unit 300 conveys information about, or more operating condition if the operation, during failure of the central control unit (100) (S240). For example, there may be an increase in the degree of contamination of the filter, a shortage of the battery, and the like in the abnormal operation state.

<108> then informs the user of the control unit 100 displays the received abnormal operation state on the display unit 130, or through a voice of the speaker (S250)

<109> Next, the central control unit 100, transfer a drive stop signal to the cleaning unit 300 and the air blowing unit 400 to correct the abnormal operation state (S260, S265). The transmission of the drive stop signal may occur either sequentially or simultaneously.

<110> In other words, one embodiment of the intelligent integrated control system of the present invention can be calculated for the most efficient way to operate them in optimum environmental conditions, and the central control unit 100. Accordingly, by implementing the user's desired room temperature and humidity in the most efficient manner, it is possible to maximize the user's convenience and increase energy efficiency.
