Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for generating a mode setting value set. Background Art

[0002] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2023-93003 describes a control device that controls a seat device as an actuating device in a relaxation mode.

[0003] It should be noted that control devices such as those described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2023-93003 sometimes perform mode control, centrally controlling multiple motion devices to achieve a specific mode of vehicle interior environment. When a control device performs mode control, it requires a set of mode settings that includes the setting value for each motion device. However, setting the setting value for each motion device for each mode can be an excessively large burden on developers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present disclosure relates to a device for generating a mode setting value set, which generates a mode setting value set for performing mode control, wherein the mode control centrally controls multiple action devices mounted on the vehicle in order to make the interior environment of the vehicle an environment of a specific mode, and the mode setting value set specifies the setting value of each of the above-mentioned action devices.

[0005] The generating device includes a storage unit and an execution unit.

[0006] The execution unit performs the following processing:

[0007] acquiring a plurality of setting information from the vehicle, the setting information including information indicating a usage set, which is a set of mode setting values ​​used in the mode control, and change information indicating content of changes to the setting values ​​in the usage set that are changed when the mode control is performed;

[0008] causing the storage unit to store the acquired setting information;

[0009] selecting the setting information that satisfies a predetermined selection condition from among the plurality of setting information stored in the storage unit; and

[0010] The mode setting value set is generated by replacing the setting values ​​that have been subjected to the setting change among the setting values ​​included in the usage set of the selected setting information with the setting values ​​after the setting change.

[0011] The generation device can generate a set of mode setting values ​​as the changed setting values ​​based on a usage set acquired from the vehicle. This can prevent the developer from being overly burdened by setting the setting values ​​of the operating devices for each mode. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] One implementation method

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a device for generating a mode setting value set will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, a vehicle that performs mode control will be described.

[0019] Vehicle Overview

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 10 includes a plurality of motion devices 20. That is, the plurality of motion devices 20 are mounted on the vehicle 10. The motion devices 20 are devices that affect the interior environment of the vehicle 10 by operating.

[0021] The plurality of motion devices 20 include a seat device 21 , a shading device 22 , a dimming device 23 , an interior lighting device 24 , an air conditioning device 25 , an audio device 26 , and a steering position adjustment device 27 .

[0022] The seat device 21 affects the posture of passengers in the vehicle 10 while riding. The seat device 21 includes a seat body 21A and a seat movement mechanism 21B that moves the seat body 21A. Furthermore, the seat device 21 includes a seat actuator 21C that moves the seat movement mechanism 21B and a control unit 21D that controls the seat actuator 21C.

[0023] The seat body 21A has a seat cushion and a seat back. The seat cushion is linked to be slidable in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10 via a slide mechanism of a seat operation mechanism 21B provided to the floor of the vehicle 10. The slide mechanism has a lower rail fixed to the floor of the vehicle 10 and an upper rail installed to the lower rail so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The upper rail is slid with respect to the lower rail by driving of a slide motor of a seat actuator 21C. In this way, the seat device 21 has a slide function of the seat body 21A.

[0024] The seat back is linked to the rear end portion of the seat cushion of the seat body 21A so as to be able to be reclined and rotated with respect to the seat cushion via a reclining mechanism of the seat operation mechanism 21B. The seat back is reclined and rotated with respect to the seat cushion with an axis extending in the width direction of the vehicle 10 as a rotation axis by driving of a reclining motor of the seat actuator 21C. In this way, the seat device 21 has a reclining function of the seat body 21A.

[0025] By operating the omitted seat operation switch, the control unit 21D drives the reclining motor of the seat actuator 21C. Thereby, the control unit 21D controls the position in the vehicle front-rear direction of the seat body 21A, that is, the slide position. Also, by operating the omitted seat operation switch, the control unit 21D drives the reclining motor of the seat actuator 21C. Thereby, the control unit 21D controls the angle of the seat back with respect to the seat cushion, that is, the reclining position.

[0026] The sunshade device 22 has an influence on the brightness of the indoor environment of the vehicle 10 and the openness of the occupant in the vehicle 10 by changing the range of the covering window glass in the vehicle 10. One sunshade device 22 is provided for each window glass. In the present embodiment, the sunshade device 22 is provided for the roof glass provided to the roof of the vehicle 10 and the rear glass provided to the rear of the vehicle 10, respectively. Among them, only one sunshade device 22 is illustrated in the Figure 1

[0027] The sunshade device 22 has a sunshade body 22A and a sunshade operation mechanism 22B that operates the sunshade body 22A. Also, the sunshade device 22 has a sunshade actuator 22C that operates the sunshade operation mechanism 22B and a control unit 22D that controls the sunshade actuator 22C.

[0028] ​The light-shielding body 22A is a curtain that covers the glass of the vehicle 10 from the interior side. The light-shielding body 22A is connected to the light-shielding mechanism 22B so that it can be operated in a closed state (covering the glass) and an open state (not covering the glass). The light-shielding body 22A is wound up by the motor driving the light-shielding actuator 22C, thereby putting the light-shielding body 22A into the open state. In addition, the light-shielding body 22A is unwound by the light-shielding actuator 22C, thereby putting the light-shielding body 22A into the closed state. In this way, the light-shielding device 22 has the light-shielding function of the light-shielding body 22A.

[0029] When the not-shown roof shielding operation switch is operated, the control unit 22D drives the shielding actuator 22C of the sunroof shielding device 22. Thus, the control unit 22D controls the open / closed state of the sunroof shielding device 22. Furthermore, when the not-shown rear shielding operation switch is operated, the control unit 22D drives the shielding actuator 22C of the rear window shielding device 22. Thus, the control unit 22D controls the open / closed state of the rear window shielding device 22.

[0030] The dimming device 23 changes the light transmittance of the window glass in the vehicle 10, thereby affecting the amount of light incident from outside into the interior of the vehicle 10. The dimming device 23 includes a dimming glass 23A, a dimming mechanism 23B that changes the light transmittance of the dimming glass 23A, a dimming actuator 23C that activates the dimming mechanism 23B, and a control unit 23D that controls the dimming actuator 23C.

[0031] The dimming device 23 is provided on the sunroof glass of the vehicle 10. The dimming glass 23A serves as the sunroof glass of the vehicle 10. The dimming glass 23A has two glass layers and a dimming film layer sandwiched between the two glass layers. The dimming film layer changes the dispersion and orientation of the microscopic materials contained in the dimming film layer by the voltage applied by the dimming mechanism 23B. The dimming film layer is driven by the switch serving as the dimming actuator 23C, and a voltage is applied to the dimming film layer. As a result, the dispersion and orientation of the microscopic materials contained in the dimming film layer changes. As a result, the dimming glass 23A becomes opaque and has a low transmittance from the outside of the vehicle 10 in a dimming mode, or transparent and has a high transmittance from the outside of the vehicle 10 in a transmission mode, depending on the applied voltage. In this way, the dimming device 23 has the dimming function of the dimming glass 23A.

[0032] When a dimming operation switch (not shown) is operated, the control unit 23D drives the dimming actuator 23C. Thus, the control unit 23D controls the state of the dimming glass 23A.

[0033] The interior lighting device 24 has an influence on the brightness or the like of the interior of the vehicle 10 by changing the mode of lighting that illuminates the interior of the vehicle 10. The interior lighting device 24 has a light 24A including a light-emitting mechanism 24B, a lighting actuator 24C that causes the light-emitting mechanism 24B to act, and a control unit 24D that controls the lighting actuator 24C.

[0034] The interior lighting device 24 is provided in the interior of the vehicle 10. The light 24A is, for example, an LED. The light-emitting mechanism 24B is caused to act by driving of a switch as the lighting actuator 24C, whereby the light 24A becomes in a lit state or a non-lit state. In addition, the light 24A can realize fade-in lighting and fade-out lighting by driving of the lighting actuator 24C. In this way, the interior lighting device 24 has a lighting function.

[0035] The control unit 24D controls driving of the lighting actuator 24C by omission of operation of the lighting switch illustrated. Thereby, the control unit 24D controls the state of the light 24A. Note that in the present embodiment, the vehicle 10 has a plurality of interior lighting devices 24.

[0036] The air-conditioning device 25 has an influence on the temperature environment of the interior of the vehicle 10 by adjusting the temperature in the vehicle 10. The air-conditioning device 25 has an air-conditioning device main body 25A including an air-conditioning mechanism 25B, an air-conditioning actuator 25C that causes the air-conditioning mechanism 25B to act, and a control unit 25D that controls the air-conditioning actuator 25C.

[0037] An air outlet of the air-conditioning device main body 25A is provided to blow air toward the interior space of the vehicle 10. The air-conditioning mechanism 25B is caused to act by driving of an air compressor and a heat exchanger as the air-conditioning actuator 25C, whereby the air-conditioning device main body 25A blows air that has been subjected to temperature adjustment from the air outlet. In this way, the air-conditioning device 25 has an air-conditioning function.

[0038] The control unit 25D controls driving of the air-conditioning actuator 25C by omission of operation of the air-conditioning switch illustrated. Thereby, the control unit 25D controls the state of blowing air from the air outlet of the air-conditioning device main body 25A.

[0039] The audio device 26 has an influence on the sound environment of the interior of the vehicle 10 by changing the output of audio in the vehicle 10. The audio device 26 has a speaker 26A including an audio mechanism 26B, an audio actuator 26C that causes the audio mechanism 26B to act, and a control unit 26D that controls the audio actuator 26C.

[0040] Speaker 26A operates sound mechanism 26B to output sound into vehicle 10. Speaker 26A outputs sound generated by the vibration of coil 26C, which serves as sound actuator 26C.

[0041] When a not-shown sound switch is operated, the control unit 26D drives the sound actuator 26C. Thus, the control unit 26D controls the sound output from the speaker 26A.

[0042] The steering position adjustment device 27 affects the driver's seat space in the vehicle 10 by adjusting the position of a steering wheel 27A in the vehicle 10. The steering position adjustment device 27 includes a steering wheel 27A and a position adjustment mechanism 27B capable of adjusting the position of the steering wheel 27A. The steering position adjustment device 27 also includes a position adjustment actuator 27C that actuates the position adjustment mechanism 27B, and a control unit 27D that controls the position adjustment actuator 27C.

[0043] A steering wheel 27A is located at the driver's seat of the vehicle 10. The steering wheel 27A can be adjusted in the front-to-rear and up-to-down directions of the vehicle 10 by a position adjustment mechanism 27B. The position adjustment mechanism 27B implements so-called tilt and telescoping functions. The position of the steering wheel 27A in the vehicle 10 is changed by driving a motor serving as a position adjustment actuator 27C. Thus, the steering position adjustment device 27 has a position adjustment function.

[0044] When a steering position adjustment switch (not shown) is operated, the control unit 27D drives the position adjustment actuator 27C. Thus, the control unit 27D controls the position of the steering wheel 27A.

[0045] As described above, the plurality of motion devices 20 can be independently operated by operating a switch provided for each motion device 20. The vehicle 10 includes a mode switch 30 and a control device 40. The mode switch 30, when operated by a user, outputs a signal to the control device 40 indicating that a mode control is to be performed for collectively controlling the plurality of motion devices 20. Furthermore, the mode switch 30 outputs a signal to the control device 40 indicating the mode in which the mode control is to be performed, in response to the user's operation.

[0046] The control device 40 centrally controls the plurality of actuators 20 through mode control. The control device 40 receives a signal from the mode switch 30 indicating that mode control is to be performed. Furthermore, the control device 40 receives a signal from the mode switch 30 indicating a mode for mode control. Each mode is used to achieve the interior environment of the vehicle 10.

[0047] The control device 40 has a CPU as an execution device 41, a peripheral circuit 42, a RAM 43, a storage device 44, and a bus 45. The bus 45 connects the execution device 41, the peripheral circuit 42, the RAM 43, and the storage device 44 to be communicable with each other. The execution device 41 performs information processing by executing various programs stored in the storage device 44. The peripheral circuit 42 includes a circuit that generates a clock signal that specifies internal operation, a power supply circuit, a reset circuit, and the like. The RAM 43 stores data generated in association with execution of the execution device 41. The storage device 44 stores a mode setting value set MS used in association with execution of the mode control.

[0048] The mode setting value set MS is a data set that determines the setting value SV of the operation device 20 corresponding to the mode for realizing the indoor environment of the vehicle 10. Therefore, the mode setting value set MS is set for each mode. The mode setting value set MS includes information indicating the mode, information indicating the operation device 20 that is the target of operation, and the setting value SV indicating the operation content of the operation device 20 that is the target of operation.

[0049] The execution device 41 starts execution of the mode control if it obtains the signal indicating that the mode control is performed from the mode switch 30. The execution device 41 determines the mode based on the signal indicating the mode obtained from the mode switch 30 and the mode setting value set MS if it starts execution of the mode control. Next, the execution device 41 refers to the mode setting value set MS to determine the operation device 20 that is the target of operation in the determined mode. Next, the execution device 41 refers to the setting value SV of the mode setting value set MS to determine the operation content of the operation device 20 that is the target of operation. Furthermore, the execution device 41 causes the operation device 20 that is the target of operation to operate with the determined operation content. The execution device 41 ends the series of processes if it causes the operation device 20 that is the target of operation to operate with the operation content.

[0050] The vehicle 10 has a sensor group 50 including a plurality of sensors and a communication device 60. The sensor group 50 has a plurality of sensors that obtain vehicle environment information VE indicating the vehicle environment of the vehicle 10. The sensor group 50 detects, for example, an outside air temperature region TO of the vehicle 10, weather W of a region where the vehicle 10 exists, and a time period TM including a time of day in the region where the vehicle 10 exists. Furthermore, the sensor group 50 detects a kind of a road on which the vehicle 10 travels, brightness of a periphery of a position where the vehicle 10 exists, and a number of passengers of the vehicle 10. The sensor group 50 outputs the detected vehicle environment information VE to the control device 40. The communication device 60 is capable of wireless communication with the outside of the vehicle 10 via a wireless communication line network.

[0051] The vehicle 10 includes an input device 71 and an output device 72. The input device 71 is operated to input information to the control device 40. The output device 72 outputs information from the control device 40. Specifically, the input device 71 and the output device 72 are implemented as touch screen displays. In this embodiment, the output device 72 outputs an image representing information.

[0052] spawn system

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the generation system 100 includes a plurality of vehicles 10 and a server 80. However, one vehicle 10 among the plurality of vehicles 10 is shown in detail, and detailed illustration is omitted for the other vehicles 10. In addition, some of the plurality of motion devices 20 in the vehicle 10 are omitted from the illustration.

[0054] When mode control is performed by operating the mode switch 30, the control device 40 obtains information representing the usage set UMS, which is the mode setting value set MS used in the mode control. In addition, when the setting value SV is independently changed by operating the switch provided in the action device 20 during the mode control using the usage set UMS, the control device 40 obtains the change information CH of the setting change. The change information CH is, for example, information indicating the changed tilt position in the seat device 21. The change information CH is, for example, information indicating a change from an open state to a closed state in the shading device 22. The change information CH is, for example, information indicating a change from a dimming mode to a transmissive mode in the dimming device 23. In addition, the control device 40 obtains the vehicle environment information VE when the mode control is performed using the usage set UMS from the sensor group 50.

[0055] The communication device 60 of the vehicle 10 is capable of wirelessly communicating with the server 80 via a wireless communication network. The control device 40 of the vehicle 10 generates combination data CD representing a combination of setting information ST (including information indicating the usage set UMS and change information CH) and vehicle environment information VE when mode control is performed using the usage set UMS. Upon receiving the change information CH, the control device 40 transmits the generated combination data CD from the communication device 60 to the server 80.

[0056] The server 80 includes a server communication device 81 and a generation device 90. The server communication device 81 can communicate wirelessly with the vehicle 10 via a wireless communication network. The generation device 90 generates a mode setting value set MS based on information received by the server communication device 81.

[0057] The generation device 90 includes an execution device 91 as a CPU, a peripheral circuit 92, a RAM 93, a storage device 94, and a bus 95. In this embodiment, the execution unit is the execution device 91, and the storage unit is the storage device 94. The bus 95 connects the execution device 91, the peripheral circuit 92, the RAM 93, and the storage device 94 to each other so that they can communicate. The execution device 91 performs information processing by executing various programs stored in the storage device 94. The peripheral circuit 92 includes a circuit that generates a clock signal that regulates internal operations, a power supply circuit, a reset circuit, etc. The RAM 93 stores data generated as the execution of the execution device 91. The storage device 94 stores a generation program PR for generating the pattern setting value set MS and a database DB used as the generation program PR is executed.

[0058] The execution device 91 stores the acquired combination data CD in the database DB every time it acquires the combination data CD from the vehicle 10. Thus, the generation device 90 acquires a plurality of combination data CDs, so that the database DB includes the plurality of combination data CDs.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the database DB has a plurality of combination data CDs. Data numbers are assigned to the combination data CDs in the order in which they are stored.

[0060] Vehicle environment information VE includes, for example, an outside air temperature zone TO, weather W, and time zone TM. The outside air temperature zone TO is a temperature zone containing the outside air temperature from among a plurality of predetermined temperature zones. For example, the plurality of temperature zones indicates whether the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius. In this embodiment, the first outside air temperature zone TO1 is a temperature zone exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. The second outside air temperature zone TO2 is a temperature zone below 30 degrees Celsius.

[0061] Weather W indicates whether or not there is rainfall. In this embodiment, the first weather W1 indicates a state with rainfall. The second weather W2 indicates a state without rainfall. The time period TM is a range of multiple predetermined time periods that includes the time when other vehicle environment information VE is acquired. In this embodiment, the first time period TM1 is the range from sunrise to sunset in a single day. The second time period TM2 is the range from sunset to sunrise in a single day.

[0062] The setting information ST includes information indicating the target operating devices and a set value SV indicating the operation content as information indicating the usage set UMS. In this embodiment, the target operating devices 20 are the seat device 21, the shade device 22, and the dimming device 23.

[0063] The plurality of set values ​​SV include, for example, seat information SE of the seat device 21, shading information SH of the shading device 22, and dimming information DI of the dimming device 23. The seat information SE indicates whether the reclining position is at a predetermined, specified position. In this embodiment, the first seat information SE1 indicates that the seat is at a first specified position. The second seat information SE2 indicates that the seat has been changed from the first specified position to a second specified position different from the first specified position. In other words, the second seat information SE2 is the change information CH.

[0064] The light shielding information SH indicates whether the light shielding device 22 is in the open state or the closed state. In this embodiment, the first light shielding information SH1 indicates that the light shielding device 22 is in the open state. The second light shielding information SH2 indicates that the light shielding device 22 has changed from the open state to the closed state. In other words, the second light shielding information SH2 is the change information CH.

[0065] The dimming information DI indicates whether the dimming device 23 is in dimming mode or transmissive mode. In this embodiment, the first dimming information DI1 indicates that the dimming device 23 is in dimming mode. The second dimming information DI2 indicates that the dimming device 23 has changed from dimming mode to transmissive mode. That is, the second dimming information DI2 is the change information CH.

[0066] Generation of mode setting value sets

[0067] The execution device 91 starts executing the generated program PR in a predetermined period. The predetermined period is, for example, 24 hours.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, when the execution device 91 begins executing the generation program PR, it first begins processing at S11. In S11, the execution device 91 references the database DB stored in the storage device 94 and selects, from the combinations represented by the plurality of combination data CD, setting information ST that satisfies a predetermined selection condition. The selection condition is that the number of combinations of identical setting values ​​SV after the setting change indicated by the change information CH has been performed is at least a predetermined number. An identical setting value SV combination is one in which all of the plurality of setting value SV included in the setting information ST match. In this embodiment, two pieces of setting information ST are considered to have identical setting value SV combinations when the seat information SE, shading information SH, and dimming information DI included in the two pieces of setting information ST being compared all match. The predetermined number is set to, for example, 100. In this embodiment, the execution device 91 selects the setting information ST that includes the first seat information SE1, the second shading information SH2, and the first dimming information DI1. The execution device 91 then proceeds to S12.

[0069] In S12, the execution device 91 identifies vehicle environment information VE that satisfies a predetermined specific condition within the vehicle environment information VE that includes the selected combination of settings information ST. The specific condition is that the ratio of the number of identical vehicle environment information VE combinations to the number of combinations that include the selected settings information ST is greater than a predetermined ratio. The predetermined ratio is set to 80%, for example. In this embodiment, the execution device 91 identifies vehicle environment information VE that includes the first outside air temperature zone TO1, the second weather W2, and the second time zone TM2. The execution device 91 then proceeds to S13.

[0070] In S13, the execution device 91 generates the modified settings SV included in the selected setting information ST as the mode setting value set MS for the vehicle environment indicated by the specified vehicle environment information VE, i.e., the generated set MSN. In other words, the execution device 91 uses the combination of setting value SV reflecting the configuration changes indicated by the change information CH included in the selected setting information ST as the combination of setting value SV in the generated set MSN. The execution device 91 then advances the process to S14.

[0071] In S14, the execution device 91 determines the vehicle 10 to which the generated set MSN is to be transmitted. The execution device 91 determines the vehicle 10 that has transmitted the combined data CD including the selected setting information ST as the target vehicle 10. On the other hand, the execution device 91 does not select the vehicle 10 that has not transmitted the combined data CD including the selected setting information ST as the target vehicle 10. The execution device 91 then advances the process to S15.

[0072] In S15, the execution device 91 determines whether the amount of change in the content of the generated set MSN exceeds a predetermined amount. Specifically, the amount of change is the number of setting value SVs with change information CH among the plurality of setting value SVs. The predetermined amount is, for example, two. If the amount of change in the content of the generated set MSN exceeds the predetermined amount (S15: Yes), the execution device 91 advances the process to S16.

[0073] In S16, the execution device 91 transmits information indicating the generated set MSN as the mode setting value set MS for performing mode control for an environment that is different from the mode setting value set MS before the change to the vehicle 10 to which the transmission destination was determined in S14. In other words, the generation device 90 adds one mode setting value set MS. The execution device 91 then terminates this series of processes.

[0074] On the other hand, when the amount of change in the content of the generated set MSN is equal to or less than the predetermined amount ( S15 : NO), the execution device 91 advances the process to S17 .

[0075] In S17, the execution device 91 transmits the request DM to rewrite the generation set MSN using the set UMS to the vehicle 10 that is the transmission target decided in S14. Then, the execution device 91 ends this series of processing.

[0076] Effects of Embodiments

[0077] (1) According to the above-described embodiment, the generation device 90 generates the generation set MSN that reflects the setting change indicated by the selected setting information ST by selecting the setting information ST that satisfies the selection condition. Therefore, even if the developer does not design the setting values SV of the respective action devices 20 for each mode, the generation device 90 can generate the generation set MSN. Therefore, the generation device 90 can suppress the situation where the burden on the developer excessively increases due to setting the setting values SV of the respective action devices 20 for each mode.

[0078] (2) According to the above-described embodiment, the combination data CD includes the vehicle environment information VE. Therefore, the generation device 90 acquires the vehicle environment information VE together with the setting information ST. Also, the generation device 90 generates the generation set MSN as the set of mode setting values MS in the vehicle environment indicated by the vehicle environment information VE. Therefore, even if the developer does not design the set of mode setting values MS for each vehicle environment, the generation device 90 can generate the generation set MSN. Therefore, the generation device 90 can suppress the situation where the burden on the developer excessively increases due to generating the set of mode setting values MS for each vehicle environment.

[0079] (3) According to the above-described embodiment, the generation device 90 transmits the information indicating the generation set MSN from the server communication device 81 only to the vehicle 10 that transmitted the combination data CD including the selected setting information ST. Therefore, the server 80 can provide the set of mode setting values MS that is appropriate for each vehicle 10.

[0080] (4) According to the above embodiment, the generation device 90 changes the method of reflecting the generated set MSN information to the vehicle 10 based on the amount of change in the setting change indicated by the change information CH. Specifically, when the amount of change in the setting change exceeds a predetermined amount, the generation device 90 transmits information indicating the generated set MSN as a mode setting value set MS of a mode different from the mode of the usage set UMS from the server communication device 81 to the vehicle 10. On the other hand, when the amount of change in the setting change is less than the predetermined amount, the generation device 90 transmits a request DM from the server communication device 81 to the vehicle 10 to rewrite the usage set UMS to the generated set MSN. Thus, in the vehicle 10, if the setting change is large, the control device 40 can use the generated set MSN for control in another mode, and if the setting change is small, the control device 40 can use the generated set MSN as the usage set UMS.

[0081] Other implementations

[0082] This embodiment can be implemented by modifying as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be implemented in combination with each other within a range that does not technically conflict.

[0083] The plurality of motion devices 20 preferably include at least two of the seat device 21, the shade device 22, the dimming device 23, the interior lighting device 24, the air conditioning device 25, and the audio device 26. In this case, the interior environment of the vehicle 10 can be easily varied by providing various sensations to the user of the vehicle 10. The plurality of motion devices 20 may also include a steering position adjustment device 27.

[0084] The selection condition and the specific condition are not limited to the examples in the above embodiment. For example, the selection condition may be a condition for selecting vehicle environment information VE in which some parameters included in the vehicle environment information VE match.

[0085] The generation device 90 may not acquire the vehicle environment information VE together with the setting information ST. In this case, the generation device 90 may generate the generation set MSN as a mode setting value set MS that is not associated with the vehicle environment.

[0086] The generating device 90 may transmit information indicating the generated set MSN to the vehicle 10 that has not transmitted the selected setting information ST.

[0087] The generation device 90 may not change the method of reflecting the information indicating the generated set MSN to the vehicle 10 depending on the amount of change in the settings indicated by the change information CH. For example, when the amount of change in the settings indicated by the change information CH exceeds a predetermined amount, the generation device 90 may transmit a request DM to the vehicle 10 to overwrite the settings using the generated set MSN instead of the set UMS.
