Memory mirror system for vehicles

A vehicle memory mirror system, comprising:

• a vehicle mirror assembly including a reflective element, a motor for positioning said reflective element about an axis, a monitor for monitoring the position of said reflective element with respect to said axis and a mirror-based control operatively connected with said motor and said monitor in order to position said reflective element at a particular position with respect to said axis;
• and
• a control module interconnected with said mirror-based control by an interface, said control module including a processor for providing analog signals on said interface indicative of a desired position of said reflective element with respect to said axis;
• wherein said processor controls the speed at which said reflective element moves toward a final position by formatting signals on said interface representing incremental movement of said reflective element with respect to said axis.

A vehicle memory mirror system, comprising:

• first and second vehicle mirror assemblies, each including a reflective element, a motor for positioning said reflective element about an axis, a monitor for monitoring the position of said reflective element with respect to said axis and a mirror-based control operatively connected with said motor and said monitor in order to position said reflective element at a particular position with respect to said axis;
• one said mirror-based control including a microcomputer and memory for storing preselected positions of said reflective element of both said mirror assemblies;
• and
• the other said mirror-based control interconnected with said one mirror-based control by an interface wherein said other mirror-based control responds to signals output to said interface by said one mirror-based control indicative of a desired position of the associated reflective element with respect to said axis and a signal produced by the associated said monitor and operates the associated said motor in order to position the associated said reflective element at said desired position.
