Vehicle climate control

摘要

Systems and methods of vehicle climate control are provided. Specifically, a vehicle with climate control includes a number of sensors for sensing climate control information, such as human bodily conditions, e.g., temperature or heart rate, of the human occupants of the vehicle, a processing unit, and a climate control. The processing unit uses the sensed human bodily conditions data from the sensors to activate the climate control the adjust the climate conditions for the human occupants. In another aspect of the disclosure, stress level of the human operator of a vehicle can be detected by sensing the bodily conditions of the human operator, determining the stress level of the human operator based on the sensed bodily conditions, and displaying a warning if the stress level is over a certain limit.

主权项

1. A vehicle, comprising:
a climate control system operable to control a climate in an interior of a selected vehicle, the climate control system comprising: a tangible and non-transient computer readable memory comprising climate control logic; and a microprocessor to execute the logic, the climate control logic performing the following operations when executed by the microprocessor: sense climate control information, in lieu of or in addition to an interior temperature of the selected vehicle, to select a set of vehicle climate control parameters and/or settings for the selected vehicle interior, wherein the sensed climate control information comprises a set of vehicle climate control parameters and/or settings selected for a different nearby second vehicle, in temporal proximity to a time of selection of the vehicle climate control parameters and/or settings for the selected vehicle; and control, in accordance with the selected set of vehicle climate control parameters and/or settings, an operation of the climate control system of the selected vehicle, wherein the climate control parameters and/or settings are determined remotely from the selected vehicle and provided to the selected vehicle by the Internet, wherein the sensed climate control information received from each of multiple vehicles comprising the second vehicle is treated differently based on a distance of each of the multiple vehicles from the selected vehicle, and wherein each of the multiple vehicles is at a different distance from the selected vehicle.
