SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SETTING AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION IN OR AROUND A VEHICLE IN RESPONSE TO A DETERMINED MOOD
First Claim
1. A system for setting at least one environmental condition in or around a vehicle in response to a mood, comprising:
- a sensor system configured for sensing at least one physical property indicative of a mood of at least one occupant in a vehicle and for outputting a sensor signal with information regarding the at least one physical property;
at least one component configured for providing an environmental condition in the vehicle; and
a control system configured for determining the mood by analyzing the sensor signal from said sensor system, said control system configured to set the environmental condition provided by said component dependent on the determined mood.

Abstract
A system and a corresponding method are provided for setting at least one environmental condition in or around a vehicle in response to a mood. A sensor system senses at least one physical property indicative of a mood of at least one occupant in the vehicle and outputs a sensor signal with information regarding the physical property. At least one component is configured for providing an environmental condition, such as, lighting, temperature, sound, or aroma in the vehicle. A control system determines the mood by analyzing the sensor signal from the sensor system. The control system sets the environmental condition provided by the component dependent on the determined mood. The environmental conditions can be set outside the vehicle by suggesting an appropriate travel route dependent on the mood. A safety device can limit the maximum speed of the vehicle dependent on the determined mood.
