Abstract
A vehicle including a sensor unit and a processor is disclosed. The sensor unit may be configured to capture inputs associated with vehicle interior and exterior portions. The processor may be configured to determine a presence of a glare on a user face associated with a user or an object located in a vehicle interior portion based on the inputs captured by the sensor unit. The processor may further determine a source of glare based on the inputs, responsive to determining the presence of the glare. The processor may further identify a remedial action to reduce the glare based on the source of glare, and output a notification including an information associated with the remedial action.
Claims18
A vehicle comprising:
- a sensor unit configured to capture inputs associated with vehicle interior and exterior portions;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled with the sensor unit, wherein the processor is configured to:
- determine a presence of a glare on at least one of a user face associated with a user or a first object located in a vehicle interior portion based on the inputs captured by the sensor unit;
- determine a source of glare based on the inputs, responsive to determining the presence of the glare;
- identify a remedial action to reduce the glare based on the source of glare;
- output a notification comprising an information associated with the remedial action;
- obtain a confirmation from the user responsive to outputting the notification;
- and
- automatically move a driver sitting area to an optimal driver sitting area height or a front passenger sitting area to an optimal front passenger sitting area height, responsive to obtaining the confirmation.
A method to reduce glare, the method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a presence of a glare on at least one of a user face associated with a user or a first object located in a vehicle interior portion based on inputs captured by a sensor unit, wherein the sensor unit is configured to capture the inputs associated with vehicle interior and exterior portions;
- determining, by the processor, a source of glare based on the inputs, responsive to determining the presence of the glare;
- identifying, by the processor, a remedial action to reduce the glare based on the source of glare;
- outputting, by the processor, a notification comprising an information associated with the remedial action;
- obtaining a confirmation from the user responsive to outputting the notification;
- and
- automatically moving a driver sitting area to an optimal driver sitting area height or a front passenger sitting area to an optimal front passenger sitting area height, responsive to obtaining the confirmation.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine a presence of a glare on at least one of a user face associated with a user or an object located in a vehicle interior portion based on inputs captured by a sensor unit, wherein the sensor unit is configured to capture the inputs associated with vehicle interior and exterior portions;
- determine a source of glare based on the inputs, responsive to determining the presence of the glare;
- identify a remedial action to reduce the glare based on the source of glare;
- output a notification comprising an information associated with the remedial action;
- obtain a confirmation from the user responsive to outputting the notification;
- and
- automatically move a driver sitting area to an optimal driver sitting area height or a front passenger sitting area to an optimal front passenger sitting area height, responsive to obtaining the confirmation.
