  • Method and apparatus for controlling air conditioning devices in a transportation vehicle
    Patent number: 11241937
    Abstract: A method for controlling air conditioning devices in a transportation vehicle wherein, upon the recording of an operator's air conditioning need and a conversion of the need into an air conditioning function for an air conditioning device, the implementability of the air conditioning need is compared with an influencing variable measured by a sensor. In response to the air conditioning need being recognized as implementable, information asserting this fact is issued to the operator. An apparatus for performing the method.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and device for operating a multi-channel device and transportation vehicle and computer program
    Patent number: 10766334
    Abstract: A method and a device for operating a multi-channel device wherein common control of an adjustment parameter is carried out in different zones in a synchronization mode. In another operating mode, the zones are controlled separately according to the individually adjusted adjustment parameters. There are at least a first parameter adjuster and a second parameter adjuster for setting the parameters for the at least two zones. The individual operating mode, on further actuating the second parameter adjuster so the selected parameter is brought into agreement with the parameter value selected by the first parameter adjuster, the second operating mode is exited and the at least two different zones are again controlled in common in the first operating mode.

  • Method and device for setting parameters of a plurality of light sources and audio sources
    Patent number: 9346399
    Abstract: A method and device for setting at least one parameter of at least one light source, wherein the light source is disposed in a vehicle, wherein the at least one parameter of the at least one light source and at least one parameter of at least one audio source are set by means of activation of a first functional profile, wherein the at least one audio source is disposed in the vehicle.
