Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization" An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a first group of a plurality of temperature sensors arranged in a first space, an air conditioning module comprising air conditioning circuitry, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the first group of the plurality of temperature sensors, the air conditioning module, and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the air conditioner to obtain a temperature detection value of each of the plurality of temperature sensors of the first group before the air conditioning module starts an air conditioning operation, determine whether there is a temperature sensor in an abnormal state from among the first group of the plurality of temperature sensors by using the temperature detection value of each of the plurality of temperature sensors of the first group, when it is determined there is the temperature sensor in the abnormal state, correct the temperature detection value of the temperature sensor in the abnormal state to a corrected temperature detection value by using temperature detection values of other temperature sensors not in the abnormal state from among the first group of the plurality of temperature sensors, and control the air conditioning operation of the air conditioning module by using the corrected temperature detection value.
