ADAPTIVE INTERIOR AIR QUALITY CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR VEHICLE COMPARTMENT
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor interface to interface with one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors are disposed at one or more locations at one or more sides or in an interior space of the vehicle compartment, and able to measure one or more indicators of air quality at the one or more locations; and
one or more airflow controllers, operatively coupled with the sensor interface, to adaptively control a plurality of ventilation components of the vehicle compartment to regulate airflow in the interior space, based at least in part on the measured indicators of air quality.

Abstract
Embodiments of apparatus and methods for adaptively controlling air quality in a vehicle compartment are described. In embodiments, an apparatus may include a sensor interface configured to interface with one or more sensors, disposed at one or more locations at one or more sides or in an interior space of a vehicle compartment, and configured to measure one or more indicators of air quality at the one or more locations. The apparatus may further include one or more airflow controllers configured to adaptively control a plurality of ventilation components of the vehicle compartment to regulate airflow in the interior space, based at least in part on the measured indicators of air quality. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

17. A method, comprising:
-
determining, with one or more airflow controllers, whether the air quality at one or more locations at a plurality of sides or interior space of a vehicle compartment has changed, based at least in part on measurements of air quality indicators taken with a plurality of sensors disposed at the one or more locations; and in response to measured changes to the air quality at the one or more locations, adaptively adjusting one or more ventilation components of the vehicle compartment, with the one or more airflow controllers, to regulate airflow in the interior space, based at least in part on the measured changes. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24)

25. At least one non-transitory storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions to cause an air quality control system, in response to execution of the instructions by the system, to:
-
determine, with one or more airflow controllers, whether the air quality at one or more locations at a plurality of sides or interior space of a vehicle compartment has changed, based at least in part on measurements of air quality indicators taken with a plurality of sensors disposed at the one or more locations; and in response to measured changes to the air quality at the one or more locations, adaptively adjust one or more ventilation components of the vehicle compartment, with the one or more airflow controllers, to regulate airflow in the interior space, based at least in part on the measured changes. - View Dependent Claims (26)
