Automatic temperature override pattern recognition system

摘要

Each vehicle in a fleet comprises a climate controller having an auto mode. The auto mode controls climate actuators in response to a model relating sensed climate conditions to respective settings for the actuators. The vehicle has a buffer memory periodically storing sample vectors comprised of actuator/operation settings and sensed climate conditions. A user interface in the vehicle is responsive to a user override commands to modify respective operation settings while in auto mode. Each vehicle has a wireless communication system for sending data packages to a remote server when the user generates the override. Each data package is comprised of a plurality of stored sample vectors and an identification of the override command A central database associated with the remote server receives the data packages from the fleet vehicles in order to identify patterns within the received vectors that are associated with any given override command

1. A system comprising:
a fleet of vehicles, wherein each vehicle comprises:
a climate controller having a manual mode and an auto mode, wherein the auto mode controls climate actuators in the vehicle in response to a model relating sensed climate conditions in the vehicle to respective operation settings;a buffer memory periodically storing sample vectors comprised of respective operation settings and respective sensed climate conditions;a user interface responsive to a user override commands to modify respective operation settings while in the auto mode; anda wireless communication system sending data packages to a remote server when the user generates the override command, wherein each data package is comprised of a plurality of stored sample vectors and an identification of the override command; and a central database associated with remote server receiving the data packages from the fleet of vehicles in order to identify patterns within the received sample vectors that are associated with a same override command
