Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for configuring automotive lamp illumination control are provided. One example method includes, at a computing device, generating a graphical user interface for configuring at an automotive lamp illumination pattern. The graphical user interface includes user input elements and is displayed by way of a display device. An input command is received by way of at least one of the plurality of user input elements. The input command corresponds to the at least one of the user input elements. A message is transmitted to an automotive lamp control device by way of a communication path including a first communication port of the computing device and a second communication port of the automotive lamp control device, based on the received input command. The message is received at the automotive lamp control device, and an action is performed in response to receiving the message.

Dependent claims

A system for configuring automotive lamp illumination control, the system comprising:

a computing device comprising:
a processor,
a memory coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon,
a display device, and
a first communication port;
and
an automotive lamp control device comprising:
a second communication port,
wherein the computing device is communicatively coupled to the automotive lamp control device by way of a communication path including the first communication port and the second communication port, and
wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:
generate a graphical user interface for configuring at least one automotive lamp illumination pattern, the graphical user interface including a plurality of user input elements,
cause the graphical user interface to be displayed by way of the display device,
receive, by way of at least one of the plurality of user input elements, an input command corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of user input elements, and
transmit, to the automotive lamp control device by way of the communication path, a message based on the received input command,
wherein the automotive lamp control device is configured to:
receive the message, and
perform an action in response to receiving the message.
