Idle control system and method for adaptive temperature control
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions thereon, wherein the instructions when executed by a computer cause the computer to preform operations to affect temperature comprising:
- defining a desired temperature as a first value;
activating a HVAC device if a current temperature achieves a first condition relative to the desired temperature;
deactivating the HVAC device if the current temperature achieves a second condition relative to the desired temperature;
defining the desired temperature as a second value and deactivating the HVAC device if the current temperature does not achieve the second condition within a first time period.

Abstract
A computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by a computer performs steps to affect temperature. The steps include defining a desired temperature as a first value; activating an HVAC device if a current temperature achieves a first condition relative to the desired temperature; deactivating the HVAC device if the current temperature achieves a second condition relative to the desired temperature; and defining the desired temperature as a second value if the current temperature does not achieve the second condition within a first time period.
