Abstract:
A computer-implemented process for controlling a vehicle interior includes detecting a previously defined situation that relates to an undesirable environmental condition of the vehicle interior, and assessing both a risk level and an urgency level, based on a vehicle sensor input and vehicle historical records. The process also includes generating a vehicle command based upon the detected previously defined situation, the assessed risk level, and assessed urgency level, and executing the generated vehicle command to control at least one of an engine, a window, and a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) unit to modify an environmental condition of the vehicle interior. The process also comprises performing in a cyclically recurring manner, until the detected previously defined situation is resolved, re-assessing the risk level, the urgency level, or both, re-generating a vehicle command, and executing the re-generated vehicle command.

Claim (Index 24):
A computer-implemented process for controlling an environment of a vehicle interior, the process comprising:\n reading a first sensor output from a first sensor attached to a vehicle, the first sensor output representative of a first environmental condition associated with a vehicle; determining an occupancy of the vehicle by:\n identifying a field of view of a camera; \n identifying an area of interest within the vehicle; and \n limiting the field of view to the area of interest by at least one of:\n physically by blocking at least a portion of the camera field of view; and \n selectively processes signals from pixels only within the area of interest; and \n \n evaluating an output of the camera within the limited field of view to identify whether a person is in the vehicle; and performing, by a processor, a predetermined action to modify an environmental condition of the vehicle interior based on the occupancy of the vehicle and the sensed first environmental condition, by issuing a command to at least one of an engine controller, a window controller, and a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controller.
