Method and device for implementing measures for averting danger for living beings in motor vehicles
First Claim
1. A method for implementing a measure to avert danger for living beings in a compartment in a motor vehicle, comprising:
- determining a temperature variable representing a room temperature in the compartment;
detecting a carbon dioxide variable describing one of a carbon dioxide content and a rate of increase in the carbon dioxide content of air in the compartment;
comparing the temperature variable to a temperature threshold value; and
if the temperature variable exceeds the temperature threshold value, implementing a danger-averting measure in response to the exceeding of the temperature threshold value only if the carbon dioxide variable has exceeded a carbon dioxide threshold value.

Abstract
A method for implementing measures to avert danger for living beings in a compartment in a motor vehicle, in which a carbon dioxide variable describing the carbon dioxide content or the rate of increase of the carbon dioxide content of the air in this space is detected; and in which a temperature variable representing the room temperature in this space is determined. The temperature variable is compared to a temperature-threshold value, and in the event that the temperature variable exceeds a temperature threshold value, the danger-averting measures in response to the temperature threshold value being exceeded are implemented only if the carbon dioxide variable has exceeded a carbon dioxide threshold value.

6. A device for activating and implementing a measure to avert danger for living beings in a space in a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a carbon dioxide sensor for ascertaining a carbon dioxide variable describing one of a carbon dioxide content and a rate of increase of the carbon dioxide content of air in the space;
a temperature sensor for ascertaining a temperature variable representing a room temperature in the space;
an evaluation arrangement by which the temperature variable is compared with a temperature threshold value; and
a danger-averting arrangement by which, if the temperature variable exceeds the temperature threshold value, the danger-averting measure in response to the exceeding of the temperature threshold value are implemented only if the carbon dioxide variable has exceeded a carbon dioxide threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
