Abstract
In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure, a vehicle includes an air conditioning device. An input device is provided to receive a selection input of a user with respect to a blowing position of the air conditioning device and including a first input area, a second input area and a third input area for outputting an activation mark or a deactivation mark by the selection input, A controller is configured to control output of an activation mark or a deactivation mark of the first input area, the second input area and the third input area.
Claims20
A vehicle comprising:
- an air conditioner located inside the vehicle;
- an input for the air conditioner located inside the vehicle and provided to receive a selection input of a user with respect to a blowing position of the air conditioner, wherein the input comprises a first input area, a second input area and a third input area for outputting an activation mark or a deactivation mark by the selection input;
- and
- a controller configured to control output of the activation mark or the deactivation mark of the first input area and the second input area, wherein, in a state in which the air conditioner is in an operating state and the activation mark of one area of the first input area and the second input area is being output, the controller is configured to change the activation mark to the deactivation mark for a predetermined time when detecting the selection input for the one area and to control to maintain blowhole operation of the air conditioner corresponding to the one area, and
- wherein, when the selection input of the user for another area different from the one area among the first input area, the second input area and the third input area is not detected within the predetermined time, the controller is configured to control the output of the one area to change from the deactivation mark to the activation mark.
A method for controlling an air conditioner of a vehicle using an input that comprises a first input area, a second input area and a third input area for outputting an activation mark or a deactivation mark by a selection input of a user, the method comprising:
- determining whether the air conditioner is in an operating state;
- when the air conditioner is in the operating state and when the input is in a state in which the activation mark of one area of the first input area and the second input area is being output, changing the activation mark to the deactivation mark for a predetermined time when detecting the selection input for the one area;
- controlling the air conditioner to maintain blowhole operation of the air conditioner corresponding to the one area;
- and
- controlling the output of the one area to change from the deactivation mark to the activation mark when the selection input of the user for another area different from the one area among the first input area, the second input area and the third input area is not detected within the predetermined time.
A vehicle comprising:
- an air conditioner located inside the vehicle;
- an input for the air conditioner located inside the vehicle, the input configured to receive a selection from a user with respect to a blowing position of the air conditioner,
- wherein the input comprises a first input area, a second input area and a third input area for turning on an activation mark or a deactivation mark by the selection;
- and
- a controller configured to turn on the activation mark and the deactivation mark of the first input area or the second input area,
- wherein, when the air conditioner is in an operating state and when the activation mark of one area of the first input area and the second input area is turned on, the controller is configured to change the activation mark to the deactivation mark for a predetermined time when detecting the selection for the one area and to maintain blowhole operation of the air conditioner corresponding to the one area, and
- wherein, when the selection from the user for another area different from the one area among the first input area, the second input area and the third input area is not detected within the predetermined time, the controller is configured to control an output of the one area to change from the deactivation mark to the activation mark.
