ADJUSTABLE AIR VENT AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

An air vent that enables both the adjustment by a knob and the adjustment by an external adjuster by applying an independent knob that is not mechanically connected to the air vent, along with a method for controlling the same, is disclosed. The air vent includes: a wind direction adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a wind direction of a wind discharged from the air vent; an actuator configured to drive the wind direction adjustment mechanism; a knob configured to control the actuator to adjust the wind direction adjustment mechanism; and a position sensor configured to detect a position of the wind direction adjustment mechanism. The knob is electrically connected to the actuator and is not mechanically connected to the wind direction adjustment mechanism.
