Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of streaming media rearview mirrors, and in particular to an anti-glare control method for streaming media rearview mirrors. Background Art

[0002] Streaming media rearview mirror is a new type of automotive rearview mirror technology. It captures the images behind the vehicle in real time through a high-definition camera installed at the rear of the vehicle, and transmits these images to the display screen of the rearview mirror inside the vehicle without loss or delay. This technology provides drivers with a new perspective, allowing them to observe the road conditions behind the vehicle more clearly, thereby improving driving safety and convenience.

[0003] In actual use, the streaming media rearview mirror is easily affected by external light, causing glare, which affects the driver's experience. At present, there are relevant solutions to solve the glare of the streaming media rearview mirror, but they do not take into account the different characteristics of the main light sources during the day and at night. For example, during the day, the main light source affecting the streaming media rearview mirror is the natural light from the sun, and at night, the main light source affecting the streaming media rearview mirror is the surrounding ambient light. The main light sources during the day and at night are different, and also have different characteristics. For example, the directions of the main light sources are different, and the reflection directions of the streaming media rearview mirrors are also different, and the interference to the driver is different. The existing anti-glare solutions do not take this feature into account, resulting in poor anti-glare effect for the streaming media rearview mirror, affecting the driver's use.

When the 360-degree imaging system obtains the brightness of the light source around the vehicle and passes the data to the computer, the computer combines the data with the vehicle's current time to comprehensively determine whether the vehicle is in the daytime or at night. When the calculator determines that the vehicle is in the daytime, the source of light that affects the streaming media rearview mirror is mainly sunlight, which enters from above.

Therefore, the calculator is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z-axis or Y-axis direction of the vehicle, that is, the streaming media rearview mirror is controlled to rotate left and right or up and down according to actual conditions to adjust the angle to avoid the surrounding ambient light from shining on the streaming media rearview mirror and reflecting to the driver's eyes, causing glare.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0028] Figure 1 A flow chart of the method provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] An embodiment of the present application provides an anti-glare control method for a streaming media rearview mirror, which can solve the problem in the related art that the anti-glare solution of the streaming media rearview mirror does not take into account the different characteristics of the main light sources during the day and at night, resulting in poor anti-glare effect for the streaming media rearview mirror, affecting the driver's use.

[0031] See also Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an anti-glare control method for a streaming media rearview mirror, comprising:

[0032] Use the 360-degree imaging system to obtain the brightness of the light sources around the vehicle, and determine whether the vehicle is in daytime or nighttime based on the current time of the vehicle;

[0033] When it is determined that the vehicle is in daytime, the computer is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Y-axis direction of the vehicle;

[0034] When it is determined that the vehicle is at night, a computer is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z-axis or Y-axis direction of the vehicle.

[0035] In actual use, the 360-degree imaging system is connected to the computer as an input device, responsible for capturing images of the vehicle's surroundings in real time and extracting information on light source brightness. It can provide a comprehensive view of the vehicle's surroundings, including the position and brightness of the light source, and provide basic data for the anti-glare control of the streaming media rearview mirror. When the 360-degree imaging system obtains the brightness of the light source around the vehicle and passes the data to the computer, the computer combines the data with the vehicle's current time to comprehensively determine whether the vehicle is in the daytime or at night. When the calculator determines that the vehicle is in the daytime, the source of light that affects the streaming media rearview mirror is mainly sunlight, which enters from above. Therefore, the calculator is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Y-axis direction of the vehicle, that is, the streaming media rearview mirror is rotated up and down to adjust the angle to avoid the sunlight from shining on the streaming media rearview mirror and reflecting to the driver's eyes, causing glare; when it is determined that the vehicle is in the evening, the source of light that affects the streaming media rearview mirror is mainly the surrounding ambient light, such as the lights emitted by other vehicles around. The light source direction is mainly from the side and rear of the vehicle, shining on the streaming media rearview mirror. Therefore, the calculator is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z-axis or Y-axis direction of the vehicle, that is, the streaming media rearview mirror is controlled to rotate left and right or up and down according to actual conditions to adjust the angle to avoid the surrounding ambient light from shining on the streaming media rearview mirror and reflecting to the driver's eyes, causing glare. The intelligent anti-glare streaming media rearview mirror control method of the present application takes into account the different characteristics of the main light sources during the day and at night, and controls the streaming media rearview mirror to make corresponding adjustments according to the characteristics of different light sources in different time periods, so as to avoid dazzling the driver, improve the anti-glare effect of the streaming media rearview mirror, and avoid affecting the driver's use.

[0036] The Y-axis direction and Z-axis direction of the car referred to here are both specially designated directions in the automotive industry, among which the Y-axis direction of the car is the length direction of the car, and the Z-axis direction of the car is the height direction of the car.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, when the brightness of the light source around the vehicle obtained by the 360 ​​imaging system is greater than or equal to 10,000 cd / ㎡, the current vehicle is judged to be in daytime in combination with the current time of the vehicle; when the brightness of the light source around the vehicle obtained by the 360 ​​imaging system is less than 10,000 cd / ㎡, the current vehicle is judged to be in nighttime in combination with the current time of the vehicle. When the brightness of the light source around the vehicle is obtained by the 360 ​​imaging system, and the current time of the vehicle (such as GPS time or vehicle clock) is combined to judge whether the current vehicle is in daytime or nighttime. Generally, when the brightness of the light source is greater than or equal to a preset threshold (such as 10,000 cd / ㎡) and the time is between sunrise and sunset, it is judged to be daytime; otherwise, it is judged to be nighttime.

[0038] During the daytime anti-glare control, when it is judged that the vehicle is in the daytime, according to the angle of sunlight (which can be calculated by the current time and geographical location of the vehicle), the computer is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Y-axis direction of the vehicle. Specifically, in the morning period, it rotates downward to reduce direct sunlight, and in the afternoon period, it rotates upward to adapt to the change of the solar altitude angle. In practice, combined with actual use, in order to avoid the streaming media rearview mirror from changing with the solar altitude angle to avoid glare, which will bring a bad actual experience to the user, it can be set during the day to adjust the streaming media rearview mirror only in the two time periods of sunrise and sunset. Specifically, in some optional embodiments, when it is judged that the vehicle is in the daytime, the computer is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Y-axis direction of the vehicle, including the following steps: when it is judged that the morning sun is rising according to the current time of the vehicle, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate downward around the Y-axis direction of the vehicle; when it is judged that the afternoon sun is setting according to the current time of the vehicle, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate upward around the Y-axis direction of the vehicle. In the morning period, that is, at sunrise, the sun rises and the solar altitude angle increases. At this time, the light is closer to the top, so it is necessary to make the computer control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate downward around the Y-axis direction of the car, that is, the streaming media rearview mirror rotates downward to reduce direct sunlight and avoid light from being reflected into the driver's eyes through the streaming media rearview mirror, causing glare; in the afternoon period, that is, the sunset period, the sun sets and the solar altitude angle decreases. At this time, the light is closer to the bottom compared to sunrise, so it is necessary to make the computer control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate upward around the Y-axis direction of the car (during the sunrise process, the computer has controlled the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate downward to achieve anti-glare, and in the period from sunrise to sunset, in order to avoid the streaming media rearview mirror from constantly rotating to achieve glare and affect the driver's perception, the streaming media rearview mirror that has been rotated into place after the sunrise process has remained in the same position) to avoid light from being reflected into the driver's eyes through the streaming media rearview mirror and causing glare.

[0039] During nighttime anti-glare control, when it is determined that the vehicle is at night, the 360-degree imaging system is used to identify the main light sources (such as windows, rear windshield, etc.), and accordingly the streaming media rearview mirror is controlled to rotate around the Z-axis or Y-axis direction of the vehicle. In actual use, when it is determined that the vehicle is at night, the 360-degree imaging system is used to obtain the brightness of the light source around the vehicle, which is less than 10,000 cd / ㎡, but greater than or equal to 1,000 cd / ㎡, and then the streaming media rearview mirror is controlled to rotate around the Z-axis or Y-axis direction of the vehicle. Since there are many and complex sources of external light sources at night, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z-axis or Y-axis direction of the vehicle when the brightness of the light source around the vehicle is less than 10,000 cd / ㎡ obtained by the 360-degree imaging system and combined with the vehicle system to determine that the vehicle is at night; when the brightness of the light source around the vehicle is greater than 1,000 cd / ㎡ obtained by the 360-degree imaging system, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z-axis or Y-axis direction of the vehicle. In addition, the trigger condition that the brightness of the light source around the vehicle is greater than or equal to 1000cd / ㎡ is due to the influence of external light sources. If the brightness of the light source around the vehicle is less than 1000cd / ㎡, it can be judged as ambient light, rather than light that will cause dazzling when the driver observes the streaming media rearview mirror. At this time, there is no need to control the rotation of the streaming media rearview mirror to prevent glare, which can ensure the overall stability of the streaming media rearview mirror during the driver's use, and will not cause the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate frequently due to the influence of other light, which can prevent interference with the driver's observation.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, when it is determined that the vehicle is at night, a computer is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z-axis direction of the vehicle, including the following steps:

[0041] When the 360-degree imaging system recognizes that light is incident from the car window, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z axis of the car toward the side close to the driver;

[0042] When the 360-degree imaging system recognizes that light is incident from the rear windshield, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z-axis direction of the car toward the side away from the driver.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, when the 360-degree imaging system recognizes that light is incident from the vehicle window and the rear windshield at the same time, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate downward around the Y-axis direction of the vehicle.

[0044] When the 360-degree imaging system recognizes that light is incident from the car window, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z axis of the car toward the side close to the driver. Taking common vehicles in my country as an example, since my country's vehicle regulations require vehicles to drive on the right side of the road, the driver's seat of the vehicle is set on the left. When it is recognized that light is incident from the car window, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z axis of the car toward the side close to the driver, that is, the streaming media rearview mirror is controlled to rotate to the left. When it is recognized that light is incident from the car window, the light source from the right window is mainly considered at this time, because in the actual process, the main source of ambient light at night is the headlights of other vehicles. After the light of the left vehicle shines on the streaming media rearview mirror, the light is reflected to the right side, that is, the side where the driver is not, so only the light source from the right window needs to be considered. When the influencing light source shines from the right window onto the streaming media rearview mirror, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate to the left, reflecting the influencing light to the left side of the driver to avoid dazzling the driver. In some optional embodiments, a DMS camera is further included, and the DMS camera is used to identify the position of the driver's eyes. The computer is connected to the DMS camera and is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate according to the position of the driver's eyes. The DMS camera can further adjust the angle of the streaming media rearview mirror according to the position of the driver's eyes to ensure that the image is always within the driver's field of vision, while reducing glare interference.

[0045] When it is recognized that light is incident from the car window, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z axis of the car toward the side close to the driver, that is, when it rotates toward the left side, the adjustment of the rotation angle is limited to the reverse light path seen by the driver's eye point moving out of the rear edge of the left rear window. The reverse light path uses the eye point as the light source and the rearview mirror as the lens as the reflective mirror surface, and simulates the reflection light path through mirror reflection. This light path represents the entire range that the eye point can see through the reflection of the inner rearview mirror. The rear edge of the left rear window refers to the last edge of the light-transmitting area of ​​the window glass, triangular window glass or other transparent structure on the left side wall. This rotation angle adjustment mechanism can be used for reference, and the actual effect of different models is the main consideration.

[0046] When the 360-degree imaging system recognizes that light is incident from the rear windshield, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z axis of the car toward the side away from the driver. Taking common vehicles in my country as an example, since my country's vehicle regulations require driving on the right side of the road, the driver's seat of the vehicle is set on the left. When it is recognized that light is incident from the rear windshield, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z axis of the car toward the side away from the driver, that is, the streaming media rearview mirror is controlled to rotate to the right. When it is recognized that light is incident from the rear windshield, the light source from the right rear windshield is mainly considered at this time, because in the actual process, the main source of ambient light at night is the headlights of other vehicles. After the light of the vehicle shines from the left rear windshield to the streaming media rearview mirror, the light is reflected to the right, that is, the side not where the driver is, so only the light source from the right rear windshield needs to be considered. When the influencing light source shines from the right rear windshield onto the streaming media rearview mirror, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate to the right. At this time, since the right rear windshield is closer to the driver's side than the right window, the incident light angle formed between the influencing light source from the right rear windshield and the streaming media rearview mirror is smaller than that from the right window. Therefore, when the influencing light source shines from the right rear windshield onto the streaming media rearview mirror, the computer can be used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate slightly to the right (if it turns left at this time, the reflected light will be shot into the driver's eyes, causing glare) to achieve an anti-glare effect. In some optional embodiments, a DMS camera is also included. The DMS camera is used to identify the position of the driver's eyes. The computer is connected to the DMS camera and is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate according to the position of the driver's eyes. The DMS camera can further adjust the angle of the streaming media rearview mirror according to the position of the driver's eyes to ensure that the picture is always within the driver's field of vision and reduce glare interference.

[0047] When it is recognized that light is incident from the rear windshield, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z axis of the car toward the side away from the driver, that is, when it rotates toward the right side, the adjustment of the rotation angle is limited to the reverse light path seen by the driver's eye point moving out of the right side of the rear windshield. The reverse light path uses the eye point as the light source and the rearview mirror as the lens as the reflective mirror surface, and simulates the reflection light path through mirror reflection. This light path represents the entire range that the eye point can see through the reflection of the inner rearview mirror. The right side of the rear windshield is the rightmost side of the light-transmitting area of ​​the rear windshield glass or other transparent structures. This rotation angle adjustment mechanism can be used for reference, and the actual effect of different models is the main consideration.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, when the 360-degree imaging system is used to identify that light is incident from the window and the rear windshield at the same time, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate downward around the Y-axis direction of the car. As above, when the 360-degree imaging system is used to identify that light is incident from the window and the rear windshield at the same time, the light from the right window and the right rear windshield is mainly considered. At this time, the computer controls the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate downward around the Y-axis direction of the car. Since the light is incident from the window and the rear windshield at the same time, the left and right adjustment is not good for anti-glare effect. At this time, the streaming media rearview mirror rotates downward, which can prevent the light from reflecting into the driver's eyes without affecting the driver's observation of the streaming media rearview mirror, causing glare. At this time, the rearview mirror rotates downward, and the reverse light path seen by the eye point is lower than the lower boundary of the rear windshield. The reverse light path is a reflection light path simulated by mirror reflection with the eye point as the light source and the rearview mirror as the lens as the reflective mirror. This light path represents all the ranges that the eye point can see through the reflection of the inner rearview mirror. The lower boundary of the rear windshield is the lowest edge of the light-transmitting area of ​​the rear windshield glass or other transparent structures. The adjustment mechanism of this rotation angle can be used for reference, and the actual effect of different models is the main consideration.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, a multi-directional adjustment motor is included, which is connected to the computer and the streaming media rearview mirror, and is used to receive the control signal of the computer and control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate. The multi-directional adjustment motor is an existing product. When in use, it is connected between the computer and the streaming media rearview mirror. Its main function is to receive the control signal from the computer and control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate in multiple directions according to these signals. This multi-directional adjustment capability allows the rearview mirror to be adjusted to the best viewing angle according to the changes in the daytime or nighttime time and the changes in the vehicle driving environment to prevent glare.

[0050] In some optional embodiments, a light sensor is included, and the light sensor is connected to a calculator to capture the brightness changes of the vehicle's surroundings in real time and send the data to the calculator. The light sensor is connected to the calculator and is responsible for capturing the brightness changes of the vehicle's surroundings in real time. It can sense the intensity of external light and send these data to the calculator in real time for processing. The calculator can automatically adjust the display brightness of the streaming media rearview mirror based on the data provided by the light sensor to ensure that the display effect of the rearview mirror can reach the best state under different lighting conditions, avoiding visual discomfort or safety hazards caused by too bright or too dark. The addition of the light sensor enables the streaming media rearview mirror to have environmental adaptability, further improving driving comfort and safety.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the streaming media rearview mirror includes a display and an external camera connected to the display. The streaming media rearview mirror is mounted on a support, the display is connected to the mounting support, and the mounting support is rotatably connected to a multi-directional adjustment motor.

[0052] The streaming media rearview mirror mainly consists of two parts: a display and an external camera. The external camera is responsible for capturing the real-time images behind the vehicle and transmitting these images to the display for display. The mounting bracket is an existing product on the rearview mirror, which is the fixed and rotating part of the streaming media rearview mirror. It is connected to the multi-directional adjustment motor, allowing the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate in multiple directions under the drive of the motor.

[0053] In summary, the intelligent anti-glare streaming media rearview mirror control method of the present application includes using a 360-degree imaging system to obtain the brightness of the light source around the vehicle, and judging whether the current vehicle is during the day or at night based on the current time of the vehicle; when it is judged that the vehicle is during the day, a calculator is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Y-axis direction of the vehicle; when it is judged that the vehicle is at night, a calculator is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z-axis or Y-axis direction of the vehicle.

[0054] In actual use, the 360-degree imaging system is connected to the computer as an input device, responsible for capturing images of the vehicle's surroundings in real time and extracting information on light source brightness. It can provide a comprehensive view of the vehicle's surroundings, including the position and brightness of the light source, and provide basic data for the anti-glare control of the streaming media rearview mirror. When the 360-degree imaging system obtains the brightness of the light source around the vehicle and passes the data to the computer, the computer combines the data with the vehicle's current time to comprehensively determine whether the vehicle is in the daytime or at night. When the calculator determines that the vehicle is in the daytime, the source of light that affects the streaming media rearview mirror is mainly sunlight, which enters from above. Therefore, the calculator is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Y-axis direction of the vehicle, that is, the streaming media rearview mirror is rotated up and down to adjust the angle to avoid the sunlight from shining on the streaming media rearview mirror and reflecting to the driver's eyes, causing glare; when it is determined that the vehicle is in the evening, the source of light that affects the streaming media rearview mirror is mainly the surrounding ambient light, such as the lights emitted by other vehicles around. The light source direction is mainly from the side and rear of the vehicle, shining on the streaming media rearview mirror. Therefore, the calculator is used to control the streaming media rearview mirror to rotate around the Z-axis or Y-axis direction of the vehicle, that is, the streaming media rearview mirror is controlled to rotate left and right or up and down according to actual conditions to adjust the angle to avoid the surrounding ambient light from shining on the streaming media rearview mirror and reflecting to the driver's eyes, causing glare. The intelligent anti-glare streaming media rearview mirror control method of the present application takes into account the different characteristics of the main light sources during the day and at night, and controls the streaming media rearview mirror to make corresponding adjustments according to the characteristics of different light sources in different time periods, so as to avoid dazzling the driver, improve the anti-glare effect of the streaming media rearview mirror, and avoid affecting the driver's use.
