Abstract
A vehicle cabin lighting system includes a lighting device, a lighting control device, and a wireless charger. The lighting device is configured to illuminate a placement area in which an article is to be placed. The lighting control device is configured to control brightness of the lighting device. The wireless charger is configured to charge, in a non-contact manner, a mobile terminal placed in the placement area. The lighting control device is configured to execute, in response to detecting that the mobile terminal is placed in the placement area based on an operation of the wireless charger, a control by which the lighting device is turned off or dimmed.

A vehicle cabin lighting system to be applied to a vehicle, the vehicle cabin lighting system comprising:
- a lighting device configured to illuminate a placement area in which an article is to be placed;
- a lighting control device configured to control brightness of the lighting device;
- and
- a wireless charger configured to charge, in a non-contact manner, a mobile terminal including a display screen placed in the placement area receiving the illumination from the lighting device, wherein
- the lighting control device is configured to execute, in response to detecting that the mobile terminal is placed in the placement area based on an operation of the wireless charger, a control by which the lighting device is turned off or dimmed according to a state of the vehicle including a traveling state of the vehicle and a state of the wireless charging.
A vehicle cabin lighting system to be applied to a vehicle, the vehicle cabin lighting system comprising:
- a lighting device configured to illuminate a placement area in which an article is to be placed;
- a lighting control device configured to control brightness of the lighting device;
- a wireless charger configured to charge, in a non-contact manner, a mobile terminal placed in the placement area, wherein
- the lighting control device is configured to execute, in response to detecting that the mobile terminal is placed in the placement area based on an operation of the wireless charger, a control by which the lighting device is turned off or dimmed;
- a vehicle state detector configured to detect a state of the vehicle;
- and
- a traveling state determiner configured to infer a traveling state of the vehicle, based on the state of the vehicle detected by the vehicle state detector, wherein
- the lighting control device is configured to prohibit, in a case where the traveling state determiner determines that the vehicle is not traveling, executing the control by which the lighting device is turned off or dimmed in response to the detecting of the mobile terminal based on the operation of the wireless charger.
A vehicle cabin lighting system to be applied to a vehicle, the vehicle cabin lighting system comprising:
- a lighting device including a light source and configured to illuminate a placement area in which an article is to be placed;
- circuitry configured to control brightness of the lighting device;
- and
- a wireless charger configured to charge, in a non-contact manner, a mobile terminal including a display screen placed in the placement area receiving the illumination from the lighting device, wherein
