FIG. 1 is a view showing an apparatus for controlling a seat ventilation warmer according to a remote start mode according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, a seat air warming system control apparatus according to a remote start mode includes a temperature sensor unit 110, a data base (DB) information unit 120, a control unit 130, and a seat ventilation warmer system 140 .

The temperature sensor unit 110 may sense an indoor temperature and an external temperature of the vehicle. The temperature sensor unit 110 can collect the outdoor temperature around the vehicle. At this time, the temperature sensor unit 110 may collect the temperature directly through the sensor installed outside the vehicle, or may collect the temperature of the area where the vehicle is located through the Internet.

The DB information unit 120 can convert the vehicle usage pattern into a DB. The DB information unit 120 is a device installed in a vehicle and interlocked with the control unit 130. The DB information unit 120 can collect the usage pattern of the driver and transmit the collected usage pattern to the control unit 130. [ Also, the DB information section 120 can analyze and collect patterns of drivers or passengers of the vehicle. At this time, the usage pattern can be analyzed in real time.

For example, the DB information unit 120 can convert the number of opening and closing of each door of a vehicle into a DB by day and time. In this way, the DB information unit 120 can analyze patterns of open doors (OPEN) and close (CLOSE) by day of the week by real-time analysis of patterns of holidays and weekdays.

For example, the DB information unit 120 can analyze a time pattern including commuting time, morning and afternoon, etc. in real time. Accordingly, the DB information unit 120 can analyze patterns of opening and closing of all doors by time zone.

For example, the DB information unit 120 can analyze the destination pattern in real time based on the position of the vehicle. Accordingly, the DB information unit 120 can analyze patterns of opening and closing of doors for each destination. At this time, the destination may be a predetermined place such as a company, a sightseeing spot, and the like.

The DB information unit 120 may provide the current position information and the vehicle room temperature to the control unit 130 at the request of the controller 130. [

The controller 130 may determine whether the vehicle is in the remote start mode or the normal start mode. The remote start mode may be a mode for controlling the seat ventilation warmer system 140 using a communication network through a terminal.

In the remote start mode, the control unit 130 may determine whether the seat airflow warmer system 140 is operated based on the outside temperature of the vehicle sensed by the temperature sensor. That is, the controller 130 may determine whether the warmer / ventilation system is turned on or off in response to an external temperature of the vehicle.

For example, the control unit 130 can operate the seat heating ventilation warmer system when the outside temperature of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined temperature.

The control unit 130 can control the sheet-by-zone airflow warmer system 140 based on the DB and the external conditions. The zone may include a driver's seat, a driver's seat, and a driver's seat. The control unit 130 can control the air conditioning warmer system of the driver's seat, the driver's seat, and the driver's seat.

The control unit 130 may determine the time and day conditions through the time and navigation information.

The control unit 130 may control the sheet-by-zone airflow warmer system 140 according to the number of openings and closings of the door by day, time zone, and destination.

For example, since the number of openings of the driver's door is large during the weekday commute time, the operation of the seat air-warming system 140 can be determined according to the external temperature at the time of remote start, and only the driver's seat can be turned on. At this time, the seat air warming system 140 of the remaining zones other than the driver's seat may be turned off.

The control unit 130 can operate only the seat ventilation warmer system 140 of the zone in which the passenger is sensed by the passenger detection sensor when the normal start mode is changed in the remote start mode.

For example, when the remote start mode is released or the general start is switched, the control unit 130 determines whether or not the remaining zones except the driver's seat are operated through the passenger detection sensor, It can be determined whether or not it is OFF (OFF).

When the DB pattern is changed, the control unit 130 turns off the seat ventilation warmer system 140 of the passenger not detected zone and turns on the seat ventilation warmer system 140 of the passenger sensed zone.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a flowchart of a vehicle usage pattern analysis DB according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the DB information unit 120 may convert a vehicle usage pattern analysis DB.

The DB information unit 120 can analyze the open and close patterns of the door by day (S110). For example, the DB information unit 120 can analyze a door use pattern by dividing a day of the week into holidays and weekdays.

The DB information unit 120 can analyze the front door open and close patterns by time zone (S120). For example, the DB information unit 120 can analyze the door use pattern by dividing the time zone into commute, morning, and afternoon.

The DB information unit 120 can analyze the opening and closing patterns of the door by destination (S130). For example, the DB information unit 120 can analyze the door use pattern by dividing the destination into company and province.

The DB information unit 120 may update the day, time, and destination door use patterns by DB (S140). At this time, the DB information unit 120 can update the door usage pattern in real time.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a seat ventilation warmer system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the controller 130 may determine whether it is a remote start mode or a general start (S210).

After step S210, the control unit 130 may determine whether the seat ventilation warmer system 140 is operated based on the external temperature when the remote start mode is selected (S220). For example, the control unit 130 may control the seat airflow warmer system 140 to operate when the external temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature.

If the seat air warming system 140 is operated, the control unit 130 may perform time, day of week, and destination based on the time and navigation information (S230).

After step S230, the control unit 130 controls the seat air warming system 140 of the driver's seat, the passenger's seat and the rear seat based on the DB and the external temperature corresponding to the time, (S240).

For example, the control unit 130 may operate the driver's seat, the driver's seat seat and the rear seat seat ventilation warmer system 140 individually for each zone.

If the general startup mode is changed in the remote start mode after step S240, the control unit 130 may control the seat air warming system 140 of the zone in which the passenger is sensed to operate based on the passenger detection sensor (S250 ).

The method according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented as a program for execution on a computer and stored in a computer-readable recording medium. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD- Tape, floppy disk, optical data storage system, and the like. The computer readable recording medium may be distributed over a networked computer system so that computer readable code can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. And, functional program, code, and code segments for implementing the above-described method can be easily inferred by programmers in the technical field to which the embodiment belongs.
