AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional motorcycle headlight systems fail to dynamically adjust the light-dark boundary during tilting, leading to reduced visibility in curves due to structural complexity, high cost, and inadequate position detection.
Method used
A device with a gyro sensor attached to the rotating mechanism of the light-dark boundary, converting tilt into rotational movement via a mechanical coupling, and controlled by a microcontroller to extend illumination towards the curve.
Benefits of technology
Precise, cost-effective illumination extension in curves with simple construction, suitable for OEM integration and retrofitting, without complex sensors or mechanisms.

Abstract
(Main claim) Device for extending the illumination range of a vehicle headlight, comprising a position detection means and a conversion means for rotating the light-dark boundary, characterized in that the position detection means is attached to the rotation mechanism of the light-dark boundary and rotates with it, so that the position detection is relative to the actual light boundary.
