摘要

passenger vehicle comfort control system, and method for managing passenger comfort. a method for managing passenger comfort. a mobile passenger device (120) is connected to a vehicle computer system (110) in a vehicle (102) using a near field communications reader (112) to a passenger seat (116). Passenger comfort preferences (134) associated with the passenger seat (116) are identified by the vehicle computer system (110) based on changes made to an environment (142) in the vehicle (102) by a passenger (104). passenger comfort preferences (134) made in the environment (142) by passenger (104) are sent from the vehicle computer system (110) to the passenger mobile device (120), which are associated with different current states. New comfort preferences are received by the vehicle computer system (110) from the passenger mobile device (120) when the passenger mobile device (120) detects a change in a current passenger state (130) (104). Signals are sent by the vehicle computer system (110) to a series of vehicle systems (140) to change the environment (142) using the new comfort preferences, enabling increased passenger comfort in the vehicle (102).
