Abstract
A method and an apparatus for controlling an air conditioner are provided. The method includes sensing, by an air conditioner control apparatus, a user action requesting a temperature control, checking whether one of a common control mode in which a setting temperature is controlled at a first temperature control interval and a minute control mode in which the setting temperature is controlled at a second temperature control interval, which is less than the first temperature control interval, is selected in response to the sensed user action, calculating the setting temperature based on the user action and a result of the checking, and transmitting the calculated setting temperature to the air conditioner.
