Abstract
An embodiment vehicle includes an air conditioning apparatus and a controller configured to determine whether output of sound guidance is scheduled or input of a voice command is started in response to an inside noise level being higher than a preset reference noise level while air conditioning control is performed through the air conditioning apparatus and, in response to a determination that the output of the sound guidance is scheduled or the input of the voice command is started, to determine air conditioning control adjustment based on an air conditioning target and an inside temperature.
Claims20
A vehicle comprising:
- an air conditioning apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the air conditioning apparatus;
- determine whether output of sound guidance is scheduled or input of a voice command is started in response to an inside noise level being higher than a preset reference noise level while air conditioning control is performed through the air conditioning apparatus;
- determine whether an air conditioning control level is decreasable based at least in part on a discomfort index and a preset value, wherein the discomfort index is determined based on an inside dry-bulb temperature and an inside wet-bulb temperature;
- and
- in response to a determination that the output of the sound guidance is scheduled or the input of the voice command is started and that the air conditioning control level is decreasable, adjusting the control of the air conditioning apparatus based on an air conditioning target and an inside temperature.
A method of supporting sound input/output for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining whether output of sound guidance is scheduled or input of a voice command is started in response to an inside noise level being higher than a preset reference noise level while air conditioning control is performed through an air conditioning apparatus;
- determining whether an air conditioning control level is decreasable based at least in part on a discomfort index and a preset value, wherein the discomfort index is determined based on an inside dry-bulb temperature and an inside wet-bulb temperature;
- and
- in response to a determination that the output of the sound guidance is scheduled or the input of the voice command is started and that the air conditioning control level is decreasable, adjusting the control of the air conditioning apparatus based on an air conditioning target and an inside temperature.
