Abstract
In a method and an apparatus for controlling electrochromic glass in vehicles, the method includes setting a vertical blocking angular range based on which angular range a vertical angle of incidence falls in among angular ranges determined respectively for a plurality of regions within the electrochromic glass, setting a horizontal blocking angular range based on which angular range a horizontal angle of incidence falls in among the angular ranges determined respectively for the plurality of regions within the electrochromic glass, determining a blocking region based on the vertical blocking angular range and the horizontal blocking angular range, and tinting the blocking region.
