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.
  • 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 a user and determine autonomous driving-related controls based on the user's voice.
  • The controller then performs the autonomous driving-related controls as instructed by the user's voice.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Autonomous vehicles: This technology can be used in autonomous vehicles to control the in-car temperature based on the expected re-riding time and outdoor temperature.
  • Ride-sharing services: By optimizing the parking position and controlling the in-car temperature, this technology can enhance the comfort and convenience of passengers using ride-sharing services.
  • Fleet management: Fleet operators can utilize this technology to efficiently manage the in-car temperature of autonomous vehicles in their fleet.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • In-car temperature control: The technology addresses the challenge of maintaining a comfortable in-car temperature for passengers in autonomous vehicles, taking into account the expected re-riding time and outdoor temperature.
  • User interaction: By recognizing the voice of the user, the technology enables intuitive control of autonomous driving-related functions, enhancing the user experience.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced passenger comfort: By considering the expected re-riding time and outdoor temperature, the technology ensures a comfortable in-car temperature for passengers.
  • Energy efficiency: Optimizing the parking position based on the expected in-car temperature helps reduce energy consumption for heating or cooling the vehicle.
  • User-friendly interaction: The voice recognition capability allows users to control autonomous driving functions easily and intuitively.


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.
