Abstract
A control device causes an air conditioner of a vehicle to operate in response to a request signal which is transmitted from outside of the vehicle. The control device includes a control unit. When the request signal is received, the control unit is configured to estimate a degree of frost or a degree of fogging which has occurred on a window of the vehicle based on an inside air temperature, an outside air temperature, and an inside humidity of the vehicle and to set a time over which the air conditioner operates based on the degree of frost or the degree of fogging.

A program causing a control device that causes an air conditioner of a vehicle to operate in response to a request signal which is transmitted from outside of the vehicle to perform an operation including:
- when the request signal is received,
- estimating a degree of frost or a degree of fogging which has occurred on a window of the vehicle based on an inside air temperature, an outside air temperature, and an inside humidity of the vehicle;
- and
- setting a time over which the air conditioner operates based on the degree of frost or the degree of fogging.
A control method in a control device that causes an air conditioner of a vehicle to operate in response to a request signal which is transmitted from outside of the vehicle, the control method comprising:
- when the request signal is received,
- estimating a degree of frost or a degree of fogging which has occurred on a window of the vehicle based on an inside air temperature, an outside air temperature, and an inside humidity of the vehicle;
- and
