Abstract
An automotive air conditioner includes a storage unit which stores a plurality of pieces of state information as respective learned data; a learning unit which constructs a probabilistic model; a control information correcting unit which corrects setting information, etc., related to a vehicle occupant's setting operation in accordance with a calculated probability so as to achieve a specific setting operation; and an air-conditioning control unit which controls an air-conditioning unit in accordance with the corrected setting information, etc. The learning unit includes a clustering subunit for classifying the plurality of learned data into at least first and second clusters and for determining first and second ranges for the value of the state information from the learned data included in the respective clusters, and a probabilistic model constructing subunit for constructing the probabilistic model by determining the probabilities for the state information contained in the first and second ranges, respectively.
