Abstract
An information processing method executed by a vehicle system that controls an air conditioner of a vehicle via a communication line includes: an output step of outputting a user interface corresponding to a type of the air conditioner provided in a target vehicle; an acquisition step of acquiring a parameter related to air conditioning, the parameter being set via the user interface; and control step of issuing a control command for controlling the air conditioner of the target vehicle based on the acquired parameter.
Claims20
An information processing method executed by a vehicle system including at least one processor configured to control an air conditioner of a vehicle remotely via a communication line, the method comprising:
- acquiring vehicle data of one or more target vehicles configured to be remotely controlled for air conditioning;
- based upon vehicle data of one target vehicle being acquired, selecting a user interface corresponding to a type of the air conditioner provided in the one target vehicle, from a plurality of different user interfaces, based on the vehicle data of the one target vehicle, the type of the air conditioner including a first type or a second type, the first type of the air conditioner having a temperature keeping function, the second type of the air conditioner not having the temperature keeping function, and the temperature keeping function being a function of keeping a temperature inside the vehicle at a target room temperature;
- based upon vehicle data of two or more target vehicles being acquired:
- inquiring a user to select one of the two or more target vehicles,
- determining the selected vehicle to be the target vehicle,
- selecting a user interface corresponding to a type of the air conditioner provided in the target vehicle from the plurality of different user interfaces, based on the vehicle data of the target vehicle that is selected by the user, the type of the air conditioner including the first type or the second type, the first type of the air conditioner having the temperature keeping function, the second type of the air conditioner not having the temperature keeping function, and the temperature keeping function being the function of keeping the temperature inside the vehicle at the target room temperature;
- outputting the selected user interface;
- acquiring a parameter related to air conditioning, the parameter being set via the output user interface;
- and
- issuing a control command for remotely controlling the air conditioner of the target vehicle based on the acquired parameter.
