1. A method for controlling an air conditioner installed in a target zone, which is performed by a processor apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of indoor temperatures of the target zone during a late night time section at each of at least one day measured by a temperature sensor;
receiving a plurality of outdoor temperatures of the target zone during the late night time section at each of the at least one day provided by an external device;
generating a plurality of base information on the basis of the plurality of indoor temperatures and the plurality of outdoor temperatures, wherein the base information is information on an amount of temperature change of the target zone according to an indoor/outdoor temperature difference of the target zone;
calculating base relationship information between the indoor/outdoor temperature difference of the target zone and the amount of temperature change of the target zone on the basis of the plurality of base information;
generating a driving control signal for the air conditioner at a control time point that comes after the at least one day on the basis of the basic relationship information; and
transmitting the driving control signal to the air conditioner,
wherein the late night time section is set on the basis of at least one of activity time of the target zone, a sunrise time point, and a sunset time point.
