1. An air conditioning appliance equipped with a sensor, the air conditioning appliance comprising:
the sensor configured to acquire information regarding temperature distribution of a space in which the air conditioning appliance is provided; and
a microcomputer (i) configured to detect a person in the space from the information regarding the temperature distribution, and to detect a position of a predetermined part of the person and a temperature of the predetermined part of the person, and (ii) configured to determine whether or not the temperature of the predetermined part of the person satisfies a predetermined condition, and perform control of transmitting, to a wind-blowing appliance external to the air conditioning appliance, a signal indicating that wind-blowing is to be performed toward the position of the predetermined part, based on a result of the determination of whether or not the temperature of the predetermined part of the person satisfies the predetermined condition, wherein
the sensor is further configured to detect a presence of the wind-blowing appliance in the space,
when it is detected that the wind-blowing appliance is present in the space, the microcomputer is configured to perform the control in cooperation with the air conditioning appliance and the wind-blowing appliance, based on an environment temperature of the space and the temperature of the predetermined part,
the predetermined condition is that the temperature of the predetermined part is higher than the environment temperature of the space, and
when the result of the determination is that the temperature of the predetermined part is higher than the environment temperature of the space, the microcomputer is configured to cause the air conditioning appliance to stop performing wind-blowing and transmit to the wind-blowing appliance the signal indicating that wind-blowing is to be performed toward the position of the predetermined part.
