Abstract
The invention relates to a method for generating a default lighting instruction for a lighting module for a motor vehicle, the lighting module including a matrix light source having a plurality of elementary light sources, and a control module of a motor vehicle. The invention also relates to a lighting system and a computer program.
Claims20
A method for generating a default lighting setpoint of a lighting module for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a matrix light source that is configured to group together a plurality of elementary light sources molded in plastic, where each elementary light source is sized about 150 micrometers or less;
- a data reception/transmission unit for receiving or sending data to a control module of the motor vehicle, where the control module includes a first data relating to the motor vehicle, where the first data includes data that describes an attitude of the motor vehicle and a position of the lighting module;
- a control unit for controlling the matrix light source, and
- a memory element that includes calibration data relating to the matrix light source, the method further including:
- computing a default lighting setpoint by a computing unit using at least some of the first data and the calibration data;
- storing the default lighting setpoint in the memory element of the lighting module.

A lighting system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a lighting module with a control unit, a matrix light source that is configured to groups a plurality of elementary light sources molded in plastic, where each elementary light source is sized about 150 micrometers or less;
- a memory element with calibration data relating to the matrix light source;
- a control module for the motor vehicle including a first data relating to the motor vehicle, the control module being connected to the lighting module by a data channel;
- where the first data includes data that describes an attitude of the motor vehicle and a position of the lighting module;
- and
- wherein the lighting module is configured to compute a default lighting setpoint using at least some of the first data and the calibration data and is configured to store the default lighting setpoint in the memory element of the lighting module.
