AIR-CONDITIONING CONTROL DEVICE AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18375613 titled 'AIR-CONDITIONING CONTROL DEVICE AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an air-conditioning control device that can estimate the emotion of an occupant in a vehicle interior during spot air conditioning and adjust the air conditioning based on the estimation.
- The processor in the device is configured to estimate the emotion of the occupant during spot air conditioning.
- The device then controls the spot air conditioning based on the estimated emotion of the occupant.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, buses, and trains, to provide a more comfortable and personalized air conditioning experience for passengers.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of occupants feeling uncomfortable due to standard air conditioning settings that may not take into account individual preferences or emotions.
Benefits
- Improved comfort for occupants - Personalized air conditioning settings - Enhanced user experience during travel
Potential Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry for vehicles - Public transportation sector for buses and trains - Smart home technology for personalized climate control
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that use sensors to detect the temperature inside a vehicle and adjust the air conditioning accordingly. However, this patent application specifically focuses on estimating the emotion of the occupant and adjusting the air conditioning based on that estimation.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device accurately estimate the emotion of the occupant during spot air conditioning?
The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific technology or methodology used to estimate the emotion of the occupant. Further research or development details would be needed to understand this process better.
The patent application does not address any potential privacy concerns that may arise from estimating the emotions of occupants in a vehicle. Further exploration of privacy implications and safeguards would be necessary to fully understand the impact of this technology on user privacy.
Original Abstract Submitted
An air-conditioning control device includes a processor comprising hardware, the processor being configured to execute: estimating an emotion of an occupant in a vehicle interior when a spot air conditioning is performed on the occupant; and controlling the spot air conditioning based on an estimation result.
