METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH VEHICLE CONTROL
A processor-implemented vehicle controlling method includes: determining whether an object in a vehicle is a living object based on radio detection and ranging (radar) information received from a radar sensor; in response to a determination that the object is a living object, determining bioinformation of the object based on the radar information; and adjusting a temperature in the vehicle based on the bioinformation and temperature information received from a temperature sensor.
Automated vehicle sunscreen
An automated vehicle sunscreen comprises a deployable sunscreen secured within the headliner region of an automobile vehicle's interior. The sunscreen may be deployed mechanically by means of a motor in communication with the automobile vehicle's power source. Controls for the sunscreen may be disposed upon the dashboard of the automobile vehicle.
Vehicle window screen
An improved retractable screen and doorframe assembly for a vehicle is presented. The novel construction is provided wherein the window and the retractable screen reside in the housing of a vehicle doorframe once the retractable screen and window are deployed. A plurality of axially connected wheel sets residing within an inner frame track facilitates the frictionless movement of the retractable screen in a horizontal direction and secures movement of the same as it is recoiled in a backward disposition onto the screen storage reel of a screen cartridge. Forward movement is further facilitated with a positive magnetic border that quickly advances with positive magnetic force towards the doorframe assembly having a negative magnetic rod being provided therein.
Shading device
A shading device for a vehicle roof includes at least one shading length that can be rolled up for shading a light-permeable and/or open area of the vehicle roof, a tension bow that is movably mounted in a direction of travel (V), to which the shading length-is fastened, a drive mechanism that can be operated by a drive motor to move the tension and a control unit for activating the drive motor. The shading device includes at least one opposing force element for restricting a traveling movement of the tension bow, and the control unit is designed to activate the drive motor based on an opposing force when the tension bow reaches an end position (P1, P2) defined by the stop element.
Method and apparatus with vehicle control
A processor-implemented vehicle controlling method includes: determining whether an object in a vehicle is a living object based on radio detection and ranging (radar) information received from a radar sensor; in response to a determination that the object is a living object, determining bioinformation of the object based on the radar information; and adjusting a temperature in the vehicle based on the bioinformation and temperature information received from a temperature sensor.
Automated Sunshade Assembly
An automated sunshade assembly includes a cylinder positioned within a dashboard of a vehicle has the cylinder extending along a windshield of the vehicle. The cylinder has a slot extending into an interior of the cylinder and the slot being directed toward the windshield. A rod being rotatably disposed within the cylinder and a pair of drive units each of the drive units engages the rod for rotating the rod in a first direction or a second direction. A shield is rolled around the rod and the shield extends outwardly through the slot in the cylinder such that the shield is directed toward the windshield. The shield being driven upwardly to cover the windshield and the shield is retracted into the cylinder for storage. Furthermore, the shield is comprised of an opaque material to inhibit sunlight from passing into the vehicle from the windshield when the shield covers the windshield.
Automatic Window Shade Assembly
An automatic window shade assembly includes a plurality of shade units that is each integrated into a vehicle and is aligned with a respective one of a plurality of windows in the vehicle. Each of the shade units inhibits sunlight from passing into the vehicle when the shade units are deployed. Each of the shade units exposes the windows when the shade units are stored. Additionally, each of the shade units is in wireless communication with a personal electronic device to remotely control each of the shade units. A heating unit is integrated into a respective shade unit to defrost a windshield in the vehicle. A control is integrated into the vehicle for controlling operational parameters of the heating unit and each of the shade units.
MODE ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM AND MODE ADJUSTMENT METHOD
A mode adjustment system capable of changing interior in a conveyance with less effort and time includes an input device that allows an occupant to select mode information in which position information of a seat and a shade are registered in advance, a mode switching device that receives the mode information from the input device and switches the positions of the seat and the shade based on the mode information, a seat adjustment device, and a shade adjustment device. The mode switching device includes a seat movement amount calculator calculating the movement amount of the seat and a shade movement amount calculator calculating the movement amount of the shade, the seat adjustment device adjusts the position of the seat based on the calculated movement amount of the seat, and the shade adjustment device adjusts the position of the shade based on the calculated movement amount of the shade.
SHADING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE INTERIOR
Shading device for a vehicle interior including a flexible shading structure displaceable between a compactly stored rest position and a deployed shading position and which is provided with a pull-out profile on an end region. The pull-out profile has a central portion and on opposite end sides of the central portion has telescopic shiftable guiding portions which are displaceable in vehicle-related guidances. A shield is disposed on the central portion and is mounted to be movable relative to the central portion between a rest condition and a functional condition, and a forced control device is provided for displacement of the shield in at least one direction between the rest condition and the functional condition to displace the shield in response to a shifting movement of at least one guiding portion.
Vehicle illumination system
Provided is a vehicle illumination system, including: interior lighting provided in a vehicle that is operable in a manual driving mode and in an autonomous driving mode; a detection device, provided in the vehicle, that detects an ambient light level outside the vehicle; a first control unit, provided in the vehicle, that controls switching on and switching off of headlights on the basis of a detection result from the detection device; and a second control unit that controls an illumination level of the interior lighting, such that the illumination level of the interior light when the headlights have been switched on while the vehicle is in the autonomous driving mode is higher than the illumination level of the interior lighting when the headlights have been switched on while the vehicle is in the manual driving mode.
