Application: Vehicle lamp system (Patent ID: US20230415638A1)
The patent filed by Koito Manufacturing Co Ltd. describes a vehicle lamp system that includes an illuminance variable lamp, a lamp-mounted camera, and a lamp control unit. The system is designed to adjust the illuminance of a low accuracy region based on position information acquired from a vehicle control unit and information obtained from the camera. The lamp control unit increases the illuminance if it falls below a threshold and decreases it if it meets or exceeds the threshold. Additionally, the system may include an illuminance fixing lamp that emits light with specific illuminance and can be controlled based on the illuminance of the low accuracy region.
Furthermore, the patent outlines a method for controlling the illuminance variable lamp based on the recognition accuracy of the low accuracy region. The lamp control unit adjusts the illuminance to increase or decrease based on the comparison between the first and second recognition accuracies obtained from the vehicle control unit. The system can also control both the illuminance variable lamp and the illuminance fixing lamp to optimize the illuminance of the low accuracy region. The patent also mentions the ability of the system to continuously acquire position information of the moving low accuracy region and adjust the illuminance accordingly.
