Abstract
A headlamp lighting device (100) is mounted on a vehicle. The headlamp lighting device (100) stores definition information in which a plurality of lamp devices arranged on the vehicle are presented and, for each of the lamp devices, one or more light sources configuring the lamp device and a control value for controlling each of the light sources are presented. Also, for each of the lamp devices, the headlamp lighting device (100) controls lighting of each of the light sources configuring the lamp device by referring to the definition information.
Claims13
A lighting control device to be mounted on a vehicle, the lighting control device comprising:
- a first control device and a plurality of second control devices each of which is connected to at least one of a plurality of lamp devices arranged on the vehicle, wherein
- the first control device
- stores connection information indicating, for each of the plurality of second control devices, a corresponding lamp device connected to each of the plurality of second control devices and for each corresponding lamp device, a corresponding light source which illuminates the corresponding lamp device, and
- selects, by referring to the connection information, one of the plurality of second control devices whose corresponding lamp device corresponds to a target lamp device which is a control target and selects the corresponding light source of the selected second control device as a control-target light source, and outputs to the selected second control device, a control signal indicating the control-target light source and information for controlling the control-target light source, and
- the selected second control device controls the control-target light source, based on the information indicated by the received control signal.
A lighting control method by a lighting control device to be mounted on a vehicle, including a first control device and a plurality of second control devices each of which is connected to at least one of a plurality of lamp devices arranged on the vehicle, the lighting control method comprising:
- by the first control device, storing connection information indicating, for each of the plurality of second control devices, a corresponding lamp device connected to each of the plurality of second control devices and for each of the corresponding lamp devices, a corresponding light source which illuminates the corresponding lamp device,
- by the first control device, selecting, by referring to the connection information, one of the plurality of second control devices whose corresponding lamp device corresponds to a target lamp device which is a control target and selecting the corresponding light source of the selected second control device as a control-target light source, and outputting to the selected second control device, a control signal making indicating the control-target light source and information for controlling the control-target light source, and
- by the selected second control device, controlling the control-target light source, based on the information indicated by the received control signal.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a lighting control program for a lighting control device to be mounted on a vehicle, including a first control device and a plurality of second control devices each of which is connected to at least one of a plurality of lamp devices arranged on the vehicle, the lighting control program causing
- the first control device
- to store connection information indicating, for each of the plurality of second control devices, a corresponding lamp device connected to each of the plurality of second control devices and for each of the corresponding lamp devices, a corresponding light source which illuminates the corresponding lamp device, and
- to select, by referring to the connection information, one of the plurality of second control devices whose corresponding lamp device corresponds to a target lamp device which is a control target and to select the corresponding light source of the selected second control device as a control-target light source, and to output to the selected second control device, a control signal indicating the control-target light source and information for controlling the control-target light source, and
- the selected second control device controls the control-target light source, based on the information indicated by the control signal.
