Automobile interior ventilator with voice activation
First Claim
1. A process for ventilating the interior of an automobile comprising:
- rolling down a window on a driver'"'"'s side of a vehicle upon the receipt of an indication of the opening of a door on the driver'"'"'s side of the vehicle;
activating a means for conveying air from the inside of a vehicle cabin to the outside, wherein the means for conveying air is located near the rear of the vehicle,such that outside air replaces the air conveyed from the inside of a vehicle cabin to the outside, and the outside air passes through a location where a driver sits to effect evaporation.

Abstract
A system for ventilating the cabin of an overheated vehicle which takes advantage of convection and evaporation as methods of cooling. The system is voice controlled. The invention places a fan, separate from the vehicle'"'"'s air conditioning and heating system, near the rear of the cabin. The fan directly connects the interior cabin air to outside air. Upon the opening of the driver'"'"'s door, the driver'"'"'s window rolls down and the fan turns on, drawing hot air out of the cabin to the outside, through the rear duct and across the driver'"'"'s perspiring face and body. After the temperature inside the cabin drops to a predetermined comfortable temperature, a chime sounds to alert the driver to turn the ventilating system off. Alternatively, the system may shut off automatically after a preset time period. Voice control allows the driver to winterize the system, to turn off the chime, or to run the system for demonstration purposes.

5. A process for ventilating the interior of a vehicle comprising:
-
measuring a voltage of a vehicle battery; determining a reference temperature value; determining an inside temperature value; comparing the reference temperature value to the inside temperature value, and if the inside temperature value is greater than the reference temperature value and there is sufficient battery power to operate the ventilation system; rolling down a window on a driver'"'"'s side of a vehicle; activating a means for conveying air from the inside of a vehicle cabin to the outside, the means for conveying air from the inside of a vehicle cabin to the outside being located near the rear of a vehicle, such that outside air replaces the air conveyed from the inside of a vehicle cabin to the outside, and the outside air passes through a location where a driver sits, in order to effect evaporation, wherein the means for conveying air from the inside of a vehicle cabin to the outside is activated upon the opening of a vehicle door. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
