Adaptive window-tinting system and method of use

A method for controlling light transmission properties of electrochromic glass of one or more distinct zones of one or more windows of a vehicle based at least upon a direction of sunlight with respect to one or more zones of one or more windows, the method comprising:

• providing, by one or more feedback devices, a feedback signal comprising data indicative of the direction of sunlight with respect to one or more zones of one or more windows;
• and
• generating, by a control module, a light transmission signal based at least upon the feedback signal and indicative of a light transmission setting of electrochromic glass of one or more zones of one or more windows;
• adjusting the light transmission setting of the electrochromic glass of one or more zones of one or more windows based upon the light transmission signal;
• and
• detecting, by one or more feedback devices, at least one of:
• a voice command from an operator and generating a signal representative of the detected voice command for adjusting the light transmission setting of the electrochromic glass of one or more zones;
• or
• a hand gesture from the operator and generating a signal representative of the detected hand gesture for adjusting the light transmission setting of the electrochromic glass of one or more zones.

An adaptive window-tinting system for controlling light transmission properties of electrochromic glass of one or more zones based at least upon a direction of sunlight with respect to the zones, the adaptive window-tinting system comprising:

• one or more windows including one or more distinct zones comprising electrochromic glass, wherein each zone has independently and selectively adjustable light transmission properties;
• one or more feedback devices that operably provide a feedback signal comprising data indicative of the direction of sunlight with respect to one or more zones of the one or more windows;
• a control module that operably receives the feedback signal and generates a light transmission signal based at least upon the feedback signal, the light transmission signal indicative of a light transmission setting of the electrochromic glass of one or more zones of one or more windows;
• and
• one or more feedback devices that are at least one of:
• configured to detect a voice command from an operator and to generate a signal representative of the detected voice command for adjusting the light transmission setting of the electrochromic glass of one or more zones;
• or
• configured to detect a hand gesture by the operator and to generate a signal representative of the detected hand gesture for adjusting the light transmission setting of the electrochromic glass of one or more zones.
