receive a seat status; and

adjust an air control device based on the received seat status.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the seat status comprises a direction the seat is facing.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the seat status further comprises whether the seat is occupied.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:

receive a user input comprising at least one of an air setting or an air control device setting; and

adjust the one or more air control devices based on the received seat status and the received user input.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein:

the air setting comprises at least one of a temperature setting, a wind speed setting, a humidity setting, a vapor setting, or a scent setting; and

the air control device setting comprises at least one of an air outlet direction setting of the air control device or a position setting of the air control device.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the seat has one or more seat statuses each associated with one or more of the air control devices.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:

determine a profile of a seat occupant, the profile associated with one or more of the air control devices; and

adjust the one or more air control devices based on the received seat status and the determined profile.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the air control device comprises an air outlet configured to deliver a controlled air to a configurable position in a configurable direction; and

the air control device is configured to control at least one of a temperature, a wind speed, a humidity, a vapor content, or a diffusion content of the controlled air.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to determine a direction of the sun and adjust the air control device based on the determined direction of the sun.

10 . A vehicle comprising an air control system, the system comprising a processing unit configured to:

receive a seat status; and

adjust an air control device based on the received seat status.

11 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the seat status comprises a direction the seat is facing.

12 . The vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the seat status further comprises whether the seat is occupied.

13 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:

14 . The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein:

the air setting comprises at least one of a temperature setting, a wind speed setting, a humidity setting, a vapor setting, or a scent setting; and

the air control device setting comprises at least one of an air outlet direction setting of the air control device or a position setting of the air control device.

15 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the seat has one or more seat statuses each associated with one or more of the air control devices.

16 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:

determine a profile of a seat occupant, the profile associated with one or more of the air control devices; and

adjust the one or more air control devices based on the received seat status and the determined profile.

17 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein:

the air control device comprises an air outlet configured to deliver a controlled air to a configurable position in a configurable direction; and

the air control device is configured to control at least one of a temperature, a wind speed, a humidity, a vapor content, or a diffusion content of the controlled air.

18 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to determine a direction of the sun and adjust the air control device based on the determined direction of the sun.

19 . A method for air control, comprising:

receiving a seat status; and

adjusting an air control device based on the received seat status.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein:

the seat status comprises a direction the seat is facing; and
