1. An air conditioning device comprising:
an air purifier;
a sensor configured to measure an air pollution level;
a communicator comprising circuitry and configured to communicate with a server; and
a processor configured to:
activate the sensor in a state where the air purifier is not driven and the sensor is in an inactivated, reduced power state, in response to receiving a first signal requesting an air pollution level state information from the server based on a location of a mobile terminal while the air purifier is not driven and the sensor is in the inactivated, reduced power state,
transmit a second signal indicating that the air conditioning device needs to be driven to the server based on the air pollution level measured by the sensor, and
drive the air purifier with a strength corresponding to the air pollution level in response to a driving instruction received from the server,
wherein the first signal is received from the server, based on the mobile terminal entering a predetermined region with respect to the air conditioning device.
