    摘要: The present invention relates to an interactive headlight control system providing a vehicle on which it is installed means for remotely automatically controlling headlights of other surrounding vehicles by sending outgoing remote-action signals. More particularly, the headlight control system provides the vehicle on which it is installed the ability of automatically switching headlights of other surrounding vehicles by remote control from their high position to their low position, and to maintain their headlights in low position, even if they have manually been set to high position. The headlight control system also provides means for receiving and reacting to such signals.

    摘要: A system apparatus, means and method for controlling a plurality of variable reflectance mirrors (or mirror segments), including a rearview mirror and side view mirrors, which change their reflectance level in response to a plurality of drive voltages applied thereto, for controlling the vehicle lighting system and for monitoring a vehicle interior for an automotive vehicle. The system includes a light sensing device and a control circuit formed as a single VLSI CMOS circuit. The light sensing device comprises a photosensor array having a field of view encompassing a vehicle interior. The logic and control circuit determines a background light signal from photosensor element signals generated by the photosensor elements in the photosensor array indicative of light levels incident on the photosensor elements. The circuit also determines a peak light signal in three different zones or sub-arrays of the photosensor array. The zones or sub-arrays may correspond to three mirrors or mirror segments. The peak light signals in each of the zones and a common background light signal are used to determine independent and separate control signals, which are then output to separate mirror drive circuits for independently controlling the reflectance level of the rearview mirror and the left and right side view mirrors, or alternatively the segments of a mirror. The logic and control circuit uses the background light signal to control the vehicle lighting system. The logic and control circuit also determines a vehicle intrusion condition if there is movement within the vehicle in a vehicle intrusion detection mode of the vehicle interior monitoring system. The logic and control circuit also stores image data in memory in the compartment image data storage mode of the vehicle interior monitoring system.

    摘要: An imaging system of a vehicle includes a tail lamp assembly that illuminates a field of illumination rearward of the vehicle. A light source control operates at least one light source of the tail lamp assembly in a repeating cycle that includes (i) a first illumination period wherein light emitted by the tail lamp assembly has a first brightness level and (ii) a second illumination period wherein light emitted by the tail lamp assembly has a second brightness level that is lower than the first brightness level. A camera is operable to capture image data representative of a region that is at least in part encompassed by the field of illumination. A camera control may operate the camera to capture image data during at least part of the first illumination period and to not capture image data during at least part of the second illumination period.

    摘要: A headlight controller and a vehicle headlight system including an ADB and AFS can include a headlight controller and an optical unit. The headlight controller can include a system controller and a camera photographing vehicles located in a travelling direction of a subject vehicle, and the system controller can be configured to output a control signal to provide favorable light distribution patterns by using image data output from the camera in accordance with traffic conditions. The optical unit can be configured to emit beam lights using lights emitted from a first and second light-emitting device via a projector lens so that the beam lights can be used as a high/low beam without movable parts. Thus, the disclosed subject matter can include providing vehicle headlight systems that can form various favorable light distribution patterns by utilizing the characteristics of the controller and the optical unit in accordance with the traffic conditions.

    摘要: A vehicular head-lighting system includes: an identification unit that from a plurality of zones defined in front of a driver's vehicle identifies a zone in which a frontward vehicle is located; and a selection unit that in accordance with the zone identified by the identification unit selects from the plurality of light distribution patterns a light distribution pattern that is to be formed. The selection unit selects the low beam light distribution pattern when the identification unit identifies the frontward vehicle as being located in the first zone, selects the adaptive high beam light distribution pattern when the identification unit identifies the frontward vehicle as being located in the second zone, and maintains the currently selected light distribution pattern when the identification unit identifies the frontward vehicle as being located in the transitional zone.
