An in-vehicle environment control device includes: A receiving unit that receives a switch of the interior environment of the vehicle; an environment changing unit that changes the vehicle interior environment by controlling at least an illumination device and an acoustic device when the change of the vehicle interior environment is accepted; a start notification unit for performing a predetermined start notification by controlling the lighting device and the audio device when the environment change by the environment change unit is started, and And an end notification unit that, when the environment change ends, controls the lighting device and the audio device to perform a predetermined end notification.
2. The in-vehicle environment control device according to claim 1, wherein, The environment changing unit has settings for changing the environment in the vehicle interior according to a plurality of modes, The environment changing unit does not perform the end notification and performs the start notification when the mode of the in-vehicle environment is switched while the environment change corresponding to any one of the plurality of modes is being executed.
3. The in-vehicle environment control device according to claim 1, wherein, The environment changing unit has settings of changes in the vehicle interior environment corresponding to a plurality of modes, and the type of the start notification by the start notification unit and the type of the end notification by the end notification unit are each set to only one type.
4. The in-vehicle environment control device according to claim 1, wherein, The environment changing unit has a setting of a change in the vehicle interior environment corresponding to a plurality of modes, sets a type of the start notification and a type of the end notification for each of the plurality of modes, The start notification unit performs the start notification of the type corresponding to the mode for which the switching is accepted in the environment change unit, The end notification unit performs the end notification of the type corresponding to the mode for which the switching is accepted in the environment change unit.
5. The in-vehicle environment control device according to claim 1, wherein, When the environment changing unit changes the environment in the vehicle interior by controlling the seat device, the environment changing unit performs preliminary operation control at the start, The start notification unit notifies the start notification of start of control of the seat in conjunction with control of the preliminary operation of the seat apparatus.

Description

Vehicle interior environment control device Technical Field The present disclosure relates to an in-vehicle environment control device. Background Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2022-041688 discloses a technique for appropriately adjusting the environment in the vehicle interior according to the atmosphere based on a plurality of occupants. Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2022-041688 discloses an in-vehicle system in which an atmosphere in a vehicle compartment based on a plurality of occupants is estimated from sounds detected by a sound detection unit, and the environment in the vehicle compartment is adjusted based on the estimated atmosphere. In the prior art, since the performance of the environmental change is not performed in advance, it is difficult for the occupant to grasp the performance of the environmental change in which the interior environment is switched. Similarly, it is difficult to grasp the switching to and the ending of a change to another environment. Disclosure of Invention An object of the present disclosure is to provide an in-vehicle environment control device in which an occupant can easily grasp a change in-vehicle environment. The vehicle interior environment control device according to the first aspect includes a reception unit that receives a change in a vehicle interior environment, an environment changing unit that changes the vehicle interior environment by controlling at least an illumination device and an audio device when the change in the vehicle interior environment is received, a start notification unit that performs a predetermined start notification by controlling the illumination device and the audio device when the change in the environment is started by the environment changing unit, and an end notification unit that performs a predetermined end notification by controlling the illumination device and the audio device when the change in the environment is ended. In this way, the occupant can easily grasp the switching of the interior environment by the notification of the start and end. A vehicle interior environment control device according to a second aspect is the vehicle interior environment control device according to the first aspect, wherein the environment changing unit has a setting of a change in the vehicle interior environment corresponding to a plurality of modes, and the environment changing unit performs the start notification without performing the end notification when a change in the mode of the vehicle interior environment is received during execution of an environment change corresponding to any one of the plurality of modes. According to the in-vehicle environment control device of the second aspect, the environment can be smoothly switched and the occupant can be notified. A third aspect of the in-vehicle environment control device is the in-vehicle environment control device according to the first aspect, wherein the environment changing unit has settings of changes in the in-vehicle environment corresponding to a plurality of modes, and wherein the type of the start notification by the start notification unit and the type of the end notification by the end notification unit are each set to only one type. According to the in-vehicle environment control device of the third aspect, the start notification and the end notification of the unified type are performed, so that the start and the end of the environment change can be easily recognized by the occupant. A fourth aspect of the in-vehicle environment control device is the in-vehicle environment control device according to the first aspect, wherein the environment changing unit has settings of changes in the in-vehicle environment corresponding to a plurality of modes, the start notification unit sets the type of the start notification and the type of the end notification for each of the plurality of modes, the start notification unit performs the start notification of the type corresponding to the mode for which the change is received in the environment changing unit, and the end notification unit performs the end notification of the type corresponding to the mode for which the change is received in the environment changing unit.
