Abstract
A device is provided for controlling a light function of a headlight of a vehicle and a method is provided for controlling the light functions of headlights of a vehicle that includes, but is not limited to at least two different light functions are set by at least one drive device and the drive device is activated via a light control unit. The light control unit communicates with a supervision authority, parameters stored in the supervision authority predefining the dynamic behavior of the light functions.
Claims19
A method for controlling a light function of a headlight of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- communicating a parameter to a light control unit from a supervision authority that stores a predefine dynamic behavior of the light function;
- setting at least two different light functions with a drive device at least based partly upon the parameter;
- and
- activating the drive device via the light control unit.
A device for controlling a light function of a headlight of a vehicle, comprising:
- a drive device adapted to set the light function of the headlight;
- a light control unit adapted to activate the drive device;
- and
- a supervision authority adapted to communicate with the light control unit, the communication between the supervision authority and the light control unit comprising a dynamic behavior of the light function that is predefinable via a parameter stored in the supervision authority.
