Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle air conditioning control system includes one or more mobile terminals and a vehicle air conditioning control apparatus. The one or more mobile terminals each includes a preference data acquisition unit that acquires preference data regarding an air conditioning setting for a corresponding one of the one or more occupants. The vehicle air conditioning control apparatus includes a terminal position detection unit, a seated position detection unit, an identification unit, a data acquisition unit, and a control unit. The identification unit identifies the one or more mobile terminals as being respectively associated with one or more seated positions. The control unit controls air conditioning settings for respective ones of the one or more seated positions, based on the one or more seated positions and the preference data acquired from the one or more mobile terminals respectively associated with the one or more seated positions.
