Fully Variable and Integral Aeration Flap Controller

A method for automatic and fully variable aeration flap control in a vehicle, comprising:

• reading out a target value for a flap setting or strength of an airflow of an aeration outlet;
• providing a plurality of configurations of aeration flap settings, wherein
• each configuration assigns to each combination of aeration flap settings a resulting noise level and a resulting power consumption;
• specifying a weighting between noise level and power consumption;
• and
• adapting each of the target values for the respective flap setting or strength of the respective airflow as a function of the specified weighting.

A system for automatic and fully variable aeration flap control in a vehicle, comprising:

• an interface unit configured to read out a target value for a flap setting or strength of an airflow of an aeration outlet;
• a data memory to provide a plurality of configurations of aeration flap settings, wherein
• each configuration assigns each combination of aeration flap settings a resulting noise level and a resulting power consumption;
• a further interface unit to specify a weighting between noise level and power consumption;
• and
• a control unit to adapt each of the target values for the respective flap setting or strength of the respective airflow as a function of the specified weighting.
