Patent ID: 6912861

Claim:
A vehicle air conditioner comprising: front air conditioning means for blowing conditioned air toward a front space covering a front seat in a passenger compartment of a vehicle; rear air conditioning means for blowing conditioned air toward a rear space covering a rear seat in the passenger compartment; air conditioning load sensing means for detecting load values corresponding to a plurality of air conditioning load factors in the vehicle; front air conditioning control means for determining a blowout condition of the conditioned air from the front air conditioning means based on the load values; and rear air conditioning control means for determining a blowout condition of the conditioned air from the rear air conditioning means based on the load values; wherein the front air conditioning control means determines the correspondent blowout condition by means of a neural network that represents a relation between the air conditioning load factors and a target blowout condition, the relation being learned by training data; and the rear air conditioning control means determines the correspondent blowout condition by means of a linear model that represents a relation between the air conditioning load factors and a target blowout condition.
