Claims7
A method for controlling an opacifying glazing unit for a motor vehicle, the glazing unit comprising:
- at least two partitions, an opacity level of each of the partitions being commanded autonomously to change between a minimum value and a maximum value,
- wherein each of the partitions takes a number n of levels of opacity that are numbered in an order of increasing opacity, where n=3 or n=4 or n=5,
- wherein a first type of command for the opacity level of a partition that takes a value of the opacity level of rank j, involves:
- a unit reduction in the value of the opacity level of the partition to a value of the opacity level of rank j−1, or
- a unit increase in the value of the opacity level of the partition to a value of the opacity level of rank j+1,
- and
- a second type of command for the opacity level of a partition that takes a value of the opacity level of rank j, involves:
- a multiple-unit reduction in the value of the opacity level of the partition or a reduction in the value of the opacity level of the partition to a minimum value, or
- a multiple-unit increase in the value of the opacity level of the partition or an increase in the value of the opacity level of the partition to the maximum value, and
- wherein the first type of command is a first press on a control button and the second type of command is a second press on the control button, the first press being shorter than the second press.
