Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling vehicle interior lighting. The apparatus for controlling vehicle interior lighting according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a first communication module configured to communicate with a display device installed in a vehicle interior; a lighting module configured to include a plurality of light sources; and a processor connected to the first communication module and the lighting module, wherein the processor is configured to: receive first image information, which is information on an image being output on the display device, through the first communication module; generate first color information based on the first image information; and control the lighting module based on the first color information.
Claims16
An apparatus for controlling vehicle interior lighting, comprising:
- a first communication module configured to communicate with a display device disposed at an interior of a vehicle;
- a second communication module configured to communicate with a mobile device located at the interior of the vehicle;
- a lighting module comprising a plurality of light sources;
- and
- a processor connected to the first communication module and the lighting module and configured to:
- receive, via the first communication module, first image information including information on a first image displayed on the display device;
- generate first color information based on the first image information;
- and
- control the lighting module based on the first color information,
- wherein the processor is connected to the second communication module and further configured to:
- receive, via the second communication module, second image information including information on a second image displayed on the mobile device;
- generate second color information based on the second image information;
- and
- control the lighting module based on the second color information.
An apparatus for controlling vehicle interior lighting, comprising:
- a first communication module configured to communicate with a display device disposed at an interior of a vehicle;
- a lighting module comprising a plurality of light sources;
- and
- a processor connected to the first communication module and the lighting module and configured to:
- receive, via the first communication module, first image information including information on an image displayed on the display device;
- generate first color information based on the first image information;
- and
- control the lighting module based on the first color information,
- wherein, to generate the first color information, the processor is further configured to:
- sample the first image information to extract a first frame;
- divide the first frame into a plurality of areas;
- determine a representative color for each of the plurality of areas;
- and
- generate the first color information by including the representative color for each of the plurality of areas, and
- wherein, to determine the representative color for each of the plurality of areas, the processor is further configured to:
- detect a color value at each of a randomly selected number of points from the plurality of areas;
- calculate a median value for the color value at each of the randomly selected number of points;
- and
- use a color corresponding to the median value as the representative color for each of the plurality of areas.
A method for controlling vehicle interior lighting, comprising:
- receiving first image information including information on a first image displayed on a display device disposed at an interior of a vehicle;
- generating first color information based on the first image information;
- controlling, based on the first color information, a lighting module comprising a plurality of light sources;
- receiving second image information including information on a second image displayed on a mobile device located at the interior of the vehicle;
- generating second color information based on the second image information;
- and
- controlling, based on the second color information, the lighting module.
