Abstract
A method for adapting a vehicle climate control system to a user comfort preference includes performing an adjustment strategy in response to assertion of at least one user-generated signal at less than a predetermined level and during less than a predetermined time interval and performing at least one adaptive strategy in response to assertion of the user-generated signal at greater than the predetermined level during the predetermined time interval.
Claims20
A method for adapting a vehicle climate control system to a user comfort preference, the method comprising:
- performing an adjustment strategy in response to assertion of at least one user-generated signal at less than a predetermined level and during less than a predetermined time interval;
- and
- performing at least one adaptive strategy in response to assertion of the user-generated signal at greater than the predetermined level during the predetermined time interval.
A vehicle climate control system adaptable to a user climate comfort preference comprising:
- a plurality of user interfaces;
- and
- a controller for performing an adjustment strategy when a user adjusts at least one of the interfaces by less than a predetermined amount and during less than a predetermined time interval and for performing at least one adaptive strategy when the user adjusts the interface by greater than a predetermined amount during the predetermined time.
For use in a vehicle climate control system, a method for adapting to a user climate comfort preference, the method comprising:
- providing a controller for performing an adjustment strategy when a user adjusts at least one interface by less than a predetermined level and during less than a predetermined time interval and for performing at least one adaptive strategy when the user adjusts the interface by greater than the predetermined level during the predetermined interval.
