Air-conditioner controlling device
First Claim
1. An air-conditioner controlling device to control an air-conditioner of a vehicle comprising:
- a specifying portion to specify a present position of the vehicle;
a determining portion to determine whether the vehicle is located in a target area based on the present position, the target area being defined by a predetermined interval from a target point of the vehicle;
a first control unit to change an operation state of the air-conditioner from a standard mode to an energy-saving mode so as to reduce a consumption electricity of the air-conditioner, when the determining portion determines the vehicle to be located in the target area;
an estimating portion to estimate a destination of the vehicle; and
a second control unit to change the operation state of the air-conditioner from the energy-saving mode to the standard mode, after the first control unit changes the operation state from the standard mode to the energy-saving mode, in a case that the estimated destination is different from the target point.

Abstract
An air-conditioner controlling device includes a first control unit and a second control unit. The first control unit changes an air-conditioner operation from a standard to an energy-saving, when a vehicle is determined to be located in a target area. The target area is defined by a predetermined interval from a target point of the vehicle. The second control unit changes the air-conditioner operation from the energy-saving to the standard, after the first control unit changes the air-conditioner operation from the standard to the energy-saving, in a case that a destination of the vehicle is estimated to be different from the target point.
