APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING IN-CAR TEMPERATURE OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE, SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17874121 titled 'APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING IN-CAR TEMPERATURE OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE, SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus, system, and method for controlling the in-car temperature of an autonomous vehicle. Here are the key points:

  • The control server determines the expected in-car temperature based on the re-riding time of parking positions corresponding to the vehicle's destination or re-riding position.
  • An optimal parking position or temporary parking position is selected by considering the expected in-car temperature and the outdoor air temperature during the re-riding time.
  • The information about the optimal or temporary parking position is transmitted to the autonomous vehicle.
  • The controller of the autonomous vehicle is configured to perform autonomous driving and parking based on the received information.
  • The controller can recognize the voice of the user and determine autonomous driving-related controls based on the user's voice.
  • The controller then performs the autonomous driving-related controls as requested by the user.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Autonomous vehicles: This technology can be applied to autonomous vehicles to provide a comfortable in-car temperature based on the expected parking duration and outdoor temperature.
  • Ride-sharing services: By controlling the in-car temperature based on the re-riding time, ride-sharing services can enhance the overall passenger experience and satisfaction.
  • Fleet management: Companies managing autonomous vehicle fleets can utilize this technology to optimize the in-car temperature for different parking positions and re-riding scenarios.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • In-car temperature control: This technology solves the problem of maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the autonomous vehicle during parking periods by considering the expected parking duration and outdoor temperature.
  • User convenience: By recognizing the user's voice and performing autonomous driving-related controls as requested, this technology enhances the convenience and ease of use for passengers.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved passenger comfort: By controlling the in-car temperature based on the expected parking duration and outdoor temperature, this technology ensures a comfortable environment for passengers.
  • Energy efficiency: Optimizing the in-car temperature based on the re-riding time and outdoor temperature helps in reducing energy consumption and improving the overall efficiency of the vehicle.
  • Enhanced user experience: The ability to recognize the user's voice and perform autonomous driving-related controls as requested adds convenience and improves the overall user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus, a system, and a method for controlling an in-car temperature of an autonomous vehicle are provided. The control server determines an expected in-car temperature according to a re-riding time of each of one or more parking positions corresponding to a destination or a re-riding position of an autonomous vehicle, selects an optimal parking position or a temporary parking position based on the expected in-car temperature and an outdoor air temperature according to the re-riding time, transmits information about the optimal parking position or the temporary parking position to the autonomous vehicle. The controller of the autonomous vehicle is configured to perform autonomous driving and autonomous parking depending on the information about the optimal parking position or the temporary parking position, recognizes a voice of a user, determines autonomous driving related control corresponding to the voice of the user, and performs the autonomous driving related control corresponding to the voice of the user.
