CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Application No. P2004-047648, filed on Jun. 24, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to air conditioning systems, and more particularly, to an air conditioning system which can control various kinds of air conditioning devices collectively, and a method for controlling the same. [0004] 2. Discussion of the Related Art [0005] Recently, owing to increase of large sized multistory buildings, there have been many developments of air conditioning system for controlling an environment of an inside of the building. [0006] FIG. 1 illustrates a related art air conditioning system. [0007] Referring to FIG. 1, the air conditioning system is provided with a cooling/heating unit for cooling or heating a room, and a ventilating unit for ventilating the room. [0008] The cooling/heating unit is an air conditioner having an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The indoor unit of the air conditioner is installed in the room, for cooling/heating the room. [0009] The air conditioner is connected to a remote controller 30 with an electrical signal for controlling operation of the indoor unit. [0010] In the meantime, the ventilating unit 20 is provided with ventilating ducts led to respective rooms, and fans each mounted on an inside of the duct. [0011] The fan in the ventilating unit 20 is connected to a separate manual handling part 40, so that the fan is operated by manual handling of a manager. [0012] Since the cooling/heating unit and the ventilating unit in the related art air conditioning system is controlled individually thus, not only management thereof is inconvenient, but also air conditioning effect is poor. [0013] Moreover, the air conditioning system only performs cooling/heating and ventilation of the room, but not room air purification. Therefore, a person in the room is required to control an air purifier in the room, manually. [0014] The manual control of the air purifier causes to fail interlocking with the room cooling/heating function and the ventilating function of the air conditioning system, to drop an overall energy efficiency for air conditioning of the room. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0015] Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an air conditioning system and a method for controlling the same that substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. [0016] An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioning system and a method for controlling the same, which can control room cooling/heating, ventilation and air purification, collectively. [0017] Additional advantages, objects, and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings. [0018] To achieve these objects and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, an air conditioning system includes at least one room cooling/heating unit for cooling/heating a room selectively, at least one ventilating unit for ventilating a room selectively, at least one air purifying unit for purifying contaminated room air selectively, and a controller provided so as to be able to communicate with the room cooling/heating unit, the ventilating unit, and the air purifying unit, for controlling above units interlocked with one another. [0019] The controller includes a temperature sensor for measuring a room temperature, and a microcomputer for generating a control signal for controlling operation of the units. The controller puts the room cooling/heating unit into operation, if the temperature measured at the temperature sensor is outside of a range preset at the microcomputer. [0020] The controller further includes a timer for measuring an operation time period of the room cooling/heating unit. The controller stops operation of the room cooling/heating unit if the operation time period measured at the timer reaches to a time period preset at the microcomputer. The controller puts the ventilating unit into operation if the operation time period measured at the timer reaches to a time period preset at the microcomputer. The controller puts the air purifying unit into operation at the same time with putting the ventilating unit into operation. [0021] A plurality of room cooling/heating units are provided so as to be able to communicate with the controller. The controller controls the units, remotely. The controller is controlled from a distant place by using a computer connected to the Internet. Continue reading about Air conditioning system and method for controlling the same...
