Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2564778A] A method of heating a vehicle interior uses a non-embedded smart heater 1 that has a mobile data connection 2 to the internet. An internet connected smart device 4, such as a smart phone, tablet, computer or virtual assistant, loaded with application software is used to instruct the heater to heat the vehicle interior. After heating, the heater can be removed from the vehicle and placed in a second vehicle or out of sight. The heater may be powered by a solar cell, an auxiliary socket such as a cigar lighter in the vehicle, or a rechargeable internal battery 8. The heater may include a temperature sensor 6 with a thermostat control 5 or a timer to control the temperature and duration of the heater as set by the software application. The application software may be adapted to control a single heater chosen from a plurality of smart heaters from a single remote. A system comprising a plurality of said non-embedded smart heaters and a single remote control device that may instruct selected heaters to heat the interiors of a plurality of vehicles is also claimed.
