Abstract
A vehicle air-conditioner control system according to the present invention activates an air conditioner in response to a command from an air-conditioner remote controller before a passenger is onboard, controls the air conditioner based on a heat load detected by a heat load detector, controls the air conditioner to be set in a silent mode so as not to make the passenger feel uncomfortable due to an air-conditioning wind when a passenger-proximity determiner determines that the passenger is proximate to the vehicle.
Claims10
A vehicle air-conditioner control system for controlling a temperature of a compartment of a vehicle, comprising:
- an air conditioner configured to adjust the temperature of the compartment;
- a heat-load detector detecting a heat load imposed on the vehicle;
- an air-conditioner remote controller configured to remotely control the air conditioner according to a passenger of the vehicle;
- a passenger-proximity determiner configured to determine whether the passenger is proximate to the vehicle;
- and
- an air-conditioner controller configured to control the air conditioner based on the heat load if the air-conditioner remote controller activates the air conditioner before the passenger is onboard, and to control the air conditioner to be set in a silent mode if the passenger-proximity determiner determines that the passenger is proximate to the vehicle.
