A system for illuminating an area around a motor vehicle, having: a pair of radar systems and a pair of lighting systems mounted on the motor vehicle; a vehicle level sensor configured to detect changes in pitch or roll of the motor vehicle; and an illumination control system in the motor vehicle. The illumination control system includes a key fob communication system and determines the location of a person by detecting the person approaching the motor vehicle by detecting the presence of the key fob while also detecting the location of the person with a radar system mounted on the vehicle. Next, when the location of the person has been determined, the illumination system lights up the area the person is standing while following movement of the person with the radar system to continuously re-directing the illumination towards the location on the ground where the person is standing as the person moves.

An illumination system and method of ground and other illuminating that comprises a plurality of sensors that scan/detect the exterior area around the vehicle and at least one controller, the system selectively turning on/off a series of lighting elements placed strategically around the vehicle to allow light to be directed to at least one ground or other surface at the persons at all times or any predetermined time. A controller is provided to activate ground lighting in coordination with sensor signals identifying where an individual or object are located in predetermined proximity to the vehicle.

A motor vehicle includes an environment illuminating device for emitting light toward the ground in the environment of the motor vehicle. The environment illuminating device includes one or more luminous modules, each of which is configured to generate a light distribution on the ground. A respective luminous module includes an image generator configured to generate light radiation from light from an illuminant, the light radiation containing two-dimensional image information concerning, firstly, a symbol representation and, secondly, a light pattern and/or a homogeneous area with a substantially constant luminance. Furthermore, the respective luminous module includes an optical device, on which the light radiation from the image generator is incident.

A method is provided for showing a target vehicle opening fore zone for a potential, future vehicle user (220) of an automated vehicle (200) by a control device, wherein the potential, future vehicle user of the automated vehicle is detected outside of the automated vehicle, and the automated vehicle marks the target vehicle opening fore zone for the potential, future vehicle user during the travel to the potential, future vehicle user before a stopping position (250) is reached.

A small-sized vehicle-mounted projector light system including an illuminating module having a light source, a collimating lens and a film arranged in sequence, and an imaging module; the imaging module includes a curved reflector being a concave mirror with positive focal power, and a first imaging lens. The main optical axis of the illuminating module passes through the reflective surface of the curved reflector, on one side of which the first imaging lens is positioned. The invention ensures an appropriate size of an one-way dimension, no consequence of the limited space within automobile structure during installation and design, and conveniency for arrangement; the curved reflector has positive focal power and can perfect focusing, not only ensuring good projection effect, but also decreasing the number of lenses with positive focal power in the system, and effectively reduce the volume and weight of the system.

A vehicle lighting device includes: a first optical system including a light source and a first lens; a second optical system including a light source and a second lens; and a housing configured to house the first optical system and the second optical system. The first optical system is configured to illuminate an interior of a vehicle. The second optical system is configured to display predetermined information to the outside of the vehicle.

A lighting device irradiating light to different locations includes a light irradiation unit that generates light; an optical path adjustment unit that adjusts a path of the light radiated from the light irradiation unit to allow a road surface pattern to be formed at a predetermined location on a road surface around a vehicle; and a driving unit that adjusts the optical path adjustment unit to allow the road surface pattern to be formed at different locations on the road surface around the vehicle.

The invention relates to an image playing system and an image playing method. The image playing system includes a projection device. The projection device includes a storage circuit, a processor, and a projection module. The storage circuit stores a playing content including at least one multimedia content, a play time length and a play order corresponding to each multimedia content. The processor obtains the playing content from the storage circuit in response to receiving the power signal. The projection module is controlled by the processor and sequentially projects the multimedia content according to the play time length and play order corresponding to each multimedia content.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for emitting light from a header reel are disclosed. More particularly, systems, methods, and apparatuses for emitting light at one or more locations along a bat tube of a header reel are disclosed. In some instances, a light source may be provided on the bat tube between adjacent reel fingers coupled to the bat tube. In some instances, the light source may be provided at an aperture formed in the bat tube. The emitted light provides for illumination and operator visualization during, for example, agricultural operations performed at night or during low ambient light conditions.

An insect repelling system utilizes a vehicle, and includes: a position information acquisition unit configured to acquire and provide vehicle position information, an interface unit configured to display species-based frequency ranges that insects avoid and to allow a user to select one of the displayed frequency ranges, a controller configured to perform control such that the interface unit displays the species-based frequency ranges that are avoided by insects that can be repelled at the current position of the vehicle based on the vehicle position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit and to generate and output a control signal for outputting a sound having the frequency selected through the interface unit, and a sound generation device configured to output the sound having the frequency by the user according to the control signal output by the controller.
