Adaptive control of automotive HVAC system using crowd-sourcing data
First Claim
1. A motor vehicle comprising:
- a heating, ventilating, air conditioning (HVAC) system including a climate control circuit coupled to a plurality of onboard sensors, a human-machine interface, and a plurality of climate actuators, wherein the actuators are responsive to respective command parameters generated by the control circuit in response to the sensors and the human-machine interface;
a wireless communication system for transmitting vehicle HVAC data to and receiving crowd data from a remote server;
wherein the control circuit initiates a request for crowd data via the communication system to the remote server, and wherein the request includes peer parameters for identifying a vehicle environment;
wherein the control circuit receives a response via the communication system from the remote server, and wherein the response comprises crowd data and at least one weight indicating a confidence level associated with the crowd data; and
wherein the control circuit generates at least one command parameter using a set of fuzzy rules responsive to the crowd data and the weight from the response.

Abstract
A motor vehicle comprises an HVAC system including a climate control circuit coupled to onboard sensors, a human-machine interface, and climate actuators. The actuators are responsive to respective command parameters generated by the control circuit in response to the sensors and the human-machine interface. A wireless communication system transmits vehicle HVAC data to and receives crowd data from a remote server. The control circuit initiates a request for crowd data via the communication system to the remote server, wherein the request includes peer parameters for identifying a vehicle environment. The control circuit receives a response via the communication system from the remote server. The response comprises crowd data and at least one weight indicating a confidence level associated with the crowd data. The control circuit generates at least one command parameter using a set of fuzzy rules responsive to the crowd data and the weight from the response.
