  • Patent number: 10703167
    Abstract: An air-conditioning control system includes: an air-conditioning device; and a control device configured to: acquire weather information; detect a boarding event; determine whether an amount of moisture brought in due to an external environment of a vehicle, which is an amount of moisture brought into the vehicle by the occupant at the time of the boarding event, is greater than a predetermined level on the basis of the weather information when a boarding event is detected by the boarding event detecting unit; and change the control information to a second state when it is determined that the amount of moisture brought in while the control information indicates a first state is greater than the predetermined level; control the air-conditioning device; and set a ventilation capacity of the air-conditioning device to be higher when the control information indicates the second state than when the control information indicates the first state.

  • Patent number: 10696132
    Abstract: An air-conditioning control system includes an air-conditioning device mounted in a host vehicle, a determination unit mounted in the host vehicle or a server and configured to determine whether a boarding position at which a boarding event in which an occupant boards the host vehicle occurs is a point with a predetermined attribute, and a control unit mounted in the host vehicle and configured to control the air-conditioning device based on a determination result from the determination unit. The control unit sets a ventilation capacity of the air-conditioning device to be greater when the determination unit determines that the boarding position is a point with the predetermined attribute than when the determination unit does not determine that the boarding position is a point with the predetermined attribute.

  • Publication number: 20180029442
    Abstract: An air conditioning control system which is provided in a vehicle includes an air conditioning device and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire vehicle outside humidity information representing humidity when a start switch of the vehicle is turned on, execute outside air introduction processing for making an outside air introduction ratio of the air conditioning device greater than 0% in an off state of the start switch, and when a first condition that the outside air introduction processing is executed is satisfied, calculate vehicle inside absolute humidity of the vehicle in an on state of the start switch with absolute humidity based on the acquired vehicle outside humidity information as an initial value.
