Abstract
A lamp for a vehicle includes: a lamp module configured to project a light having a beam pattern onto a road surface; at least one processor; and a computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: obtaining vehicle driving information associated with driving of the vehicle; determining, based on vehicle driving information, a light adjustment region; and based on the determination of the light adjustment region, performing a gradual control of light projected to the light adjustment region, the gradual control of light configured to progressively change a brightness of light in the light adjustment region.
Claims21
A lamp for a vehicle, comprising:
- a lamp module configured to project a light having a beam pattern onto a road surface;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining vehicle driving information associated with driving of the vehicle;
- determining, based on vehicle driving information, a light adjustment region;
- and
- based on the determination of the light adjustment region, performing a gradual control of light projected to the light adjustment region, the gradual control of light projected to the light adjustment region being configured to progressively change a brightness of light in the light adjustment region,
- wherein determining the light adjustment region comprises:
- determining, based on the vehicle driving information, a need for adjustment of brightness of a region of the beam pattern, and
- based on the determination of the need for adjustment of brightness of the region of the beam pattern, including the region in need for adjustment of brightness in the light adjustment region,
- wherein determining the need for adjustment in brightness of the region of the beam pattern comprises:
- determining that the region of the beam pattern causes glare to a driver of another vehicle or a pedestrian,
- based on the determination that the region of the beam pattern causes glare to the drive of the another vehicle or the pedestrian, determining the region of the beam pattern to be a first region,
- determining that an illuminance of the region of the beam pattern is greater than or equal to a second preset value, and
- based on the determination that the illuminance of the region of the beam pattern is greater than or equal to the second preset value, determining the region of the beam pattern to be a second region, and
- wherein the performing the gradual control of light projected to the light adjustment region comprises:
- reducing a brightness of light projected to the first region or the second region.
A lamp comprising:
- a lamp module configured to project a light having a beam pattern onto a road surface;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining vehicle driving information associated with driving of the vehicle;
- determining, based on vehicle driving information, a light adjustment region;
- and
- based on the determination of the light adjustment region, performing a gradual control of light projected to the light adjustment region, the gradual control of light configured to progressively change a brightness of light in the light adjustment region,
- wherein performing the gradual control of light projected to the light adjustment region comprises:
- determining a light adjustment duration comprising a first duration and a second duration not overlapping with the first duration;
- changing the brightness of light at a first light variation speed during the first duration;
- and
- changing the brightness of light at second light variation speed during the second duration, the second light variation speed being different from the first light variation speed.
