System and method for controlling air conditioner for vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for controlling an air conditioner for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a sensor group configured to generate environmental information;
a gear mode sensing unit configured to sense a gear mode;
a timer configured to count time;
a communication unit configured to receive a remote control signal and transmit air-conditioning control information;
a control unit configured to generate a start-up control signal for a vehicle in response to the remote control signal or a set time, output or stop a start-up control signal in response to the gear mode, output an air-conditioning control signal when start-up is performed, perform transmission control through the communication unit by generating the air-conditioning control information, measure air-conditioning target deviation corresponding to the environmental information, and selectively perform preliminary air-conditioning control;
a start-up device configured to perform start-up in response to the start-up control signal; and
an air conditioner configured to perform air-conditioning control in response to the air-conditioning control signal,wherein, responsive to a determination, based on the environmental information generated by the sensor group, that a current environment is incapable of reaching a required air-conditioning target value through automatic start-up, the control unit is further configured to control the air conditioner to perform preliminary air-conditioning after start-up is performed.

Abstract
A system for controlling an air conditioner for a vehicle includes a sensor group that generates environmental information, a gear mode sensing unit that senses a gear mode, a timer that counts time, a communication unit that receives a remote control signal and transmit air-conditioning control information, a control unit that generates a start-up control signal for a vehicle in response to the remote control signal or a set time, outputs or stops a start-up control signal in response to the gear mode, outputs an air-conditioning control signal when start-up is performed, performs transmission control through the communication unit by generating the air-conditioning control information, measures air-conditioning target deviation corresponding to the environmental information, and selectively performs preliminary air-conditioning control, a start-up device that performs start-up in response to the start-up control signal, and an air conditioner that performs air-conditioning control in response to the air-conditioning control signal.

3. A method of controlling an air conditioner for a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
collecting environmental information; determining whether a current environment is capable of reaching a required air-conditioning target value on a set time through automatic start-up based on the environmental information; performing start-up if the current environment is incapable of reaching the required air-conditioning target value through the automatic start-up; and performing preliminary air-conditioning in response to the start-up. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6)
