Claim 12:
13. A control method of an air conditioner storing reference data, the method comprising:
obtaining, in a first sensing operation, first gas sensing data for determining whether an air conditioning operation is required;
identifying a target space among a plurality of spaces, for which the air conditioning operation is required based on the first gas sensing data and controlling to move the air conditioner to the target space;
obtaining second gas sensing data acquired in a second sensing operation from within the target space;
obtaining information on a gas type based on the second gas sensing data and stored reference data; and
controlling to perform an air conditioning operation based on the information on the gas type and context information including activity information regarding a current activity in the target space,
wherein the second gas sensing data is acquired by a first sensor and comprises gas sensing data for each of a plurality of gases of different types, and
wherein a power usage of the first sensor is reduced in the first sensing operation as compared to the second sensing operation.
