Abstract
A media module may include a module gear unit rotatably installed in a vehicle body; a reflection plate connected to the module gear unit; a light-emitting device disposed to face a reflection surface of the reflection plate; and a speaker disposed to face the reflection surface of the reflection plate, wherein light generated by the light-emitting device is incident toward the reflection plate, and a sound generated by the speaker is incident toward the reflection plate.
Claims16
A media module comprising:
- a module gear unit rotatably disposed at a vehicle;
- a reflection plate connected to the module gear unit and having a reflection surface;
- a light-emitting device facing the reflection surface of the reflection plate and configured to emit light;
- and
- a speaker facing the reflection surface of the reflection plate and configured to output a sound,
- wherein the light emitted from the light-emitting device and the sound output from the speaker are incident toward the reflection plate.
A method of outputting a media to a pedestrian around a vehicle, the method comprising:
- causing a sensor to measure a location of the pedestrian around the vehicle;
- aligning, based on the measured location of the pedestrian, a media module to the pedestrian such that the media module is directed toward the pedestrian;
- and
- controlling the media module to output at least one of light and a sound toward the pedestrian.
A vehicle comprising a media module which comprises:
- a module gear unit rotatably disposed at the vehicle;
- a reflection plate connected to the module gear unit and having a reflection surface;
- a light-emitting device facing the reflection surface of the reflection plate and being configured to emit light;
- and
- a speaker facing the reflection surface of the reflection plate and being configured to output a sound,
- wherein the light emitted from the light-emitting device and the sound output from the speaker are incident toward the reflection plate.
