Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for detecting, by at least a first sensor, a position and/or movement of an object at or on at least first window, determining, if the position and/or movement of the object detected by the at least first sensor represents an intention by a vehicle occupant to move the at least first window, and responsive to a determination that the position and/or movement of the of the object represents an intention by the vehicle occupant to move the at least first window, cause the at least first window controller to initiate a movement of the at least first window accordingly.
Claims12
A vehicle window control system for managing movement of at least a first window, the vehicle window control system comprises:
- at least first window comprising at least a first layer and at least first symbol comprised in the at least first layer wherein the at least first symbol is displayed only when the at least first symbol is lit by light;
- at least a first light source arranged at the at least first layer of the at least first window;
- at least a first window controller configured to move the at least first window;
- at least a first sensor configured to detect a position and/or movement of an object;
- and
- a processing circuitry operatively connected to the at least first sensor and the at least first window controller configured to cause the window control system to:
- detect a position and/or movement of an object at or on the at least first window;
- determine, if the position and/or movement of the object detected by the at least first sensor represents an intention by a vehicle occupant to move the at least first window;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the position and/or movement of the of the object represents an intention by the vehicle occupant to move the at least first window, cause the at least first window controller to initiate a movement of the at least first window accordingly,
- wherein the at least first window comprising at least a first layer and a second layer and the first symbol is comprised in the first layer and a second symbol is comprised in the second layer, and the at least first light source is configured to only emit light in one of the at least first layers.
