The reflector 50 and the associated source are concealed under an opaque cover (Hi). This cover is capable of creating a lighting surface (3) with a linear design or luminous perimeter patterns. It connects and combines other devices and functional subassemblies within the light perimeter, under the Hi cover, in the H housing, or in the structure. It features an aerodynamic profile to protect and improve the perception of the light signal.

Description

[0001] Indirect vision system with multifunctional hidden reflector signal for vehicles, consisting of: - A structure consisting of a housing body, a frame and a support arm attached to the body, wherein at least one opening defining the frame is occupied by a rearview mirror, a camera and / or a combination thereof for reflecting, capturing or transmitting images. - A multifunctional device that emits at least one light signal.

[0002] In particular, it is an indirect vision system for the side of a vehicle comprising a multifunctional, multifocal signaling device generating at least one light signal and several other combined functions with mixed activation, based on a complex optical reflector body consisting of: - A reflective main substrate connected to a multi-point light source, which acts as a second inner skin and is hidden under an opaque cover to prevent the ingress of external stray light and improve signal concentration and perception. - The main reflector is a tangentially reflecting substrate in the form of a transparent elongated band with internal reflection means, divided into sectors, each sector having at least one entry point for the corresponding source light, integrated into a single one. - A linear illuminating surface forming a gap in at least part of the perimeter of the cover, concealing the reflector. Both the cover and the illuminating surface occupy an opening that represents the surface of the housing in which they are housed.

[0003] The optical body consists of two parts, on the one hand the main reflective substrate with a transverse main focal beam axis in each sector and on the other hand an inclined surface as secondary reflector with an advanced profile, which ultimately forms an illumination surface defining at least one light line with a horizontal emission focal axis; the illumination surface is always located in front of the secondary reflector, the primary reflector and the source being hidden in an angled position substantially perpendicular to the advanced profile, allowing: - Develop designs from open, closed, continuous, discontinuous luminous perimeter figures or their combination that correspond to the shape of the inclined surface. - Emit signal in three different illuminated field areas; - Two external, front-lateral multifocal and rear monofocal, not visible to the driver of the vehicle, - A third internal zone through an independent lighting area visible to the driver of the vehicle, - The same device performs more than one function and is able to replace the cover and associate other devices or functional subassemblies under the cover, inside or outside the luminous perimeter figures or in different parts of the structure of the indirect vision system. STATE OF THE ART

[0004] Indirect vision systems are known in the state of the art, which have lights and signals or “indicators” (the market name is derived from the English for the indicator in the exterior mirror).

[0005] These systems feature a vacuum-projected structure on the side of the vehicle and offer the advantage of mounting functional "see and be seen" devices, emitting signals forward, side, and rearward (previously, this was indicated by the arm), while simultaneously capturing or reflecting images of the surrounding environment directly via a mirror or indirectly via a camera connected to a monitor. They also occupy an external area connected to the doors and locks for vehicle access.

[0006] These indicators are known to emit a signal in one or two areas on the side of the vehicle, creating a signal field in front and behind that is not visible to the driver's eyes or, if visible, does not bother the driver's eyes However, this part of the field of vision is still an uncontrolled nuisance light that can be dangerous on rainy or foggy days or in total darkness.

[0007] The indicator also has UNsolved problems due to its structure projected into the vacuum: - Receives the light from the environment in the horizontal and upper plane, - The emitted light is lower than the received ambient light in many situations, especially during the day.

[0008] The official requirement for focal axis luminous intensity and photometric measurement angle for this signal type is 0.6 cd candela (Class 5 device, official approval regulation R6, ECE / UN). Therefore, the externally incident light introduced into the reflectors, parabolas, light guides, or any reflective optical body is greater than the radiated signal at almost all angles. - Due to the movement of the mirror and its motors, the space requirement and internal volume are small. - Provides unwanted aerodynamic drag, increases noise, turbulence and fuel consumption. - Due to the convex shape of the structural shell, part of its surface is always exposed to a perpendicular beam of externally incident light, which becomes external scattered light. - Fiber optics used as transmitter reflectors are always exposed to extraneous light due to their larger surface area. They consist of a curved transparent tube that mimics the curvature of the housing's surface, the luminous surface (the transparent or translucent surface through which the signal emerges), and their reflector is larger than the coupling surface on the focal axis of the light source. - a light source coupled to one side, - acts as a light reflector-distributor along its length, with facets, prisms or engraved reflection surfaces on one side surface, the bottom of the tube, - emitted by reflection in the facets or prisms when the light changes its direction perpendicular to the axis of the source, and - sends the signal to the other side or illuminated surface, and also a part to the rear at the end of the tube.

[0009] In this light guide, the light loses intensity as it moves along it because the transmittance of the material is reduced and because of the reflective facets; at the same time, the luminous surface captures all the light coming from outside, since it always receives an external beam perpendicular to it.

[0010] The light guide is an extended emitter along which light travels and along which it loses light, but it is also an extended reflector that is exposed to external incident light and along which it absorbs external light; for example, if you have a 10 lumen light source at the input and 100 reflection points, each one emitting the equivalent of 0.1 lumen, and also a part is refracted in the opposite direction to that reflected and is absorbed by the reflector or nearby. Since this is a channel circulating from below, which creates an opposite effect, the light guide has a very large surface area to absorb the light incidence from the outside, Fig. 4-6.

[0011] The light entering from the outside easily enters the transparent tube and is reflected by the exposed prisms and facets, taking the opposite path to the signal transmission, creating disordered and diffuse internal parasitic light. The lack of compensation between parasitic emitted and received light counteracts signal perception, and it turns out that the light guide is not the best element for signal perception when applied to a rearview mirror housing.

[0012] In the prior art, we observe documents (documents) of mirror devices with light signal, all of which have some kind of reflector to create the technical effect of reflecting, distributing, and directing the emitted light, and all of which are exposed to some kind of stray light. External incident.

[0013] Any device of the type lamp, lantern or flashlight that has its basic concept: - a light source, - a reflector based on a kind of reflecting parabola, and - a completely transparent or translucent luminous surface. We explain this concept in Fig. 7. It is known that a parabolic reflecting mirror (y = n.x2) produces an internal reflection R-IN, where all rays R emitted from its focus F are reflected in the parabola 40 and emit E1 through a total illuminating area 3f in a direction parallel to the focal axis A. The reverse application can be easily demonstrated,

[0014] (Concept of the parabolic mirror of the Newtonian telescope, parabolic antenna, or solar cooker), where all incident rays LI of an external ambient light DL are reflected and converge as parasitic light PL at said focus F. If the light E1 emitted is similar to the received LI, the signal is not perceived. This principle occurs partially in indicators with hollow reflectors with conical or parabolic curves 40, and also when solid transparent exposed or collimated reflectors are used as light guides.

[0015] In Fig. 8 we present the concept of this patent, which consists in confining, in a signaling device comprising a parabolic reflector 40 or its variants (collimator, light guide), all the light of the source emitted at the focal point F between two tangential reflection surfaces 5 and 6, to form a reflective substrate 50 with a flattened parabolic profile, representing a figure with a circumference in which two sides are distinct, on one side a reflective parabolic shape 40 and on the other a linear surface constituting the illumination surface 3.

[0016] This substrate 50 comprises the means to couple and direct the light from the source 30 or the focus F in a concentrated manner E1c and is perpendicular to the axis A or coincident according to a radius R and directs the light to an opposite side where there is a light output illumination surface 3 with the technical effect of concentrating the light on the substrate and reducing the entire illumination surface 3f to a less linear shape 3 in order to avoid external incident light LI and create an internal parasitic reflection R-IN in the parabola 40. The luminous surface 3 is linear, concentrated and narrow in the shape of a luminous band and; the reflector being a substrate, it is easily hidden from the externally incident light under an opaque cover which in this case is part of the housing H, Hc of the structure or its variants.

[0017] We observe in: Doc. 1 - R & Schefenacker, US 5774283. Indicator with a bulb, parabola, and luminous surface, emits light in a single forward direction, adds some sensors, but the technical effect on the emitted light is inadequate and receives all incident light from outside. (previously: February 18, 1998). Doc.2 - R & Schefenacker, US2001010633 EP 1120312 and WO2005 / 100089. It is a turn signal with two parabolas and opposing LEDs aligned to reflect off the parabolas, and a large forward-facing illumination area. It can be observed that it receives all the light incident from the outside and is reflected in the opposite direction as scattered light to the LEDs; its application was a complete failure. Doc. 3 - A. Rodriguez Barros, EP09075388, before July 12, 2000. It is part of a family of indicator patents. EP 1304260A1 is based on a series of parabolas, reflectors, cones, and collimators; although the cones create a shadow boundary, the large part of the metallized reflector assembly 12 is still exposed to external light from behind the luminous surface, which is transparent 1. See Figs. 205, 206, 207, 211, 213, 215, 216, 217, 218. We observe that in order to save space and to adapt to the curved shape of the assembly housing, the technology is used as a fixed transmitter reflector, light guide, which in some cases is arranged as an external surface, which is the worst place in terms of incident light.. Examples. Doc. 4 - R & Schefenacker, US 6,099153 corresponds to DE 29804489U before 08 / AU / 2000. This is a turn signal with an external light guide, which presents the same reflector and the same luminous surface. The effect of the externally incident light is complete. In practice, only the part of the signal radiating to the rear is visible; the rest is invisible. The incidence of external stray light through the illuminated surface is very high. Doc. 5 - Donnelly, EP 0967118, US 6,176,602 (before June 22, 1998). It belongs to a family of patents, a continuation in part of US 5,371,659, all in the public domain. They claim the concept of a signaling device (32), (30) emitting a pattern rearward with respect to the vehicle's axis of rotation (66), (72), thus giving additional volume to the housing (26) of the rear-view mirrors. The assembly is in a "down" position, lowest and below the plane of the mirror (28), that is to say, it is not behind the mirror moon, but below a tangential plane lower than the mirror moon 214; this signal is dangerously visible to the driver's eyes, as evidenced by his memory of up to 10% of the part from which the light emerges. 1 to 14 and also increases the volume of the mirror assembly, aerodynamic drag and fuel consumption. If you add a forward and backward emission pattern, Fig. 21 and Fig. 22, when emitting from the lower "bottom" position, it becomes clear that two light guides (230) and (250) are used without any protection or overlying transparent cover; the light guides themselves form the outer surface and therefore receive incident light from outside from all angles.

[0018] In Fig. 6 of this patent we present Fig. 26 by Donnelly to demonstrate the negative technical effect of the parasitic incident light from external PL DL, LI with respect to the light guide 230, which is a decreasing tube having: a very small light entrance at one end 244, axial reflection facets 238, a light source 232, and a larger exposed surface 234, 245, Fig. 22 to 26. In Figs. 22 to 26, this guide 230 radiates backwards; the parasitic light PL easily travels the reverse path within the light guide 230, but in addition to the forward emission, it requires another independent light guide 250 and another light source 258, thus requiring two light guides with two large surfaces exposed from all angles to the externally incident light. Its "lower" position limits the luminous surface (245) to a single horizontal and straight design. Fig. 27 and Fig. 30, therefore, the signaling device is attacked by external incident light LI from all angles, both light guides 230 and 250, etc. For any other reflector variant using this rearview mirror assembly with turn signal, in addition, the dangerous visibility through the driver's eyes and the increase in fuel consumption have occurred. The externally incident light is not only parasitic, but it also penetrates the optical light guide bodies 230, 250 and the whole, see Fig. 28, Fig. 29 from side to side, results in an ineffective signal during the day.

[0019] Doc. 6 - A. Rodriguez Barros, EP06008490, US 7,255,464, formerly PCT June 22, 2001. This is part of a family of indicator patents. EP 1304260A1 is based on 150 cylindrical tubular light guides with improved positioning by protecting them with a separate outer transparent cover 1 and a dark background to improve contrast, but they still receive less of said external incident light.

[0020] In Figures 4 and 5 of this patent, we reproduce Figures 74-A and 76-B by A. Rodriguez Barros, observing the process of separation D1 of the light guide 150 with respect to the transparent cover 1, and part of the ambient light DL is rejected as externally incident light LI and reflected light LIR, but another part NO is converted inside the light guide 150 into parasitic light PL, which takes the opposite path to emission and produces a diffuse and disordered internal reflection, even on the internal reflector surface 12, even if it is neutrally colored or dark, thereby canceling part of the emitted signal.

[0021] Doc.7 - Hella EP 03102456 (before 21.08.2002) ES2 261 877. This is an indicator in which two external transparent light guides are arranged one above the other, therefore the technical effect of the external light incidence is poorer.

[0022] Doc.8 - AUDI EP 1 470 957 (prev. 25.04.2003) DE 10318741. Withdrawn, this is an application for a driver warning signal for blind spot detection, with twice the emission intensity as can be found in the exterior housing of the indirect vision system, in this case it is possible for various indicator applications to use the hidden reflector technology of the applied for patent to improve the perception of the warning with regard to the incidence of outside light.

[0023] Doc. 9 DE19808139 A1 Magna Auteca 27.02.98. It is a transparent-based indicator, reflective on the back and surrounded by a neon tube, i.e., and this technology dates back to the 1930s / 1940s. It is expensive, fragile, and requires an electronic circuit and a 1500V current transformer to operate, which increases the weight of the system and its cost. In the case of external light, it would be similar to placing a computer screen in the sun; the luminous surface receives captures all the external light and redirects it towards the edge of the neon light, without allowing any visibility. Furthermore, it does not guarantee the emission of a signal in the focal axis to the rear, where the official approval photometry is carried out. ECE / UN. In reality, it was never built.

[0024] Lear Automotive Docs US 6264353, EP 1133411 refers to a turn signal installed only under the rear-facing mirror glass. In the same way that the Muth Company patent WO 00 / 26061 talks about a turn signal under the mirror glass without technology on the luminous core like the one presented here, this type of signal is not considered original equipment but is only a replacement because it It cannot be approved with the official ECE / UN regulations because it is located in a moving part of the vehicle, the mirror, whose focal axis is not fixed and, in addition, can generate dangerous light reflections in the driver's eyes, especially on rainy days.

[0025] It is also an influential part of the state of the art, official homologation requirements, ECE / UN regulations, equivalent versions in the USA and Japan, guidelines and products, which are now globalized, for vehicle lighting.

[0026] In the case of Class 1 front lamps or Class 2 rear lamps of a vehicle (Regulation R48 and R6 UNECE), this phenomenon of signal insensitivity due to stray light from outside is much less common, as these devices have a high intensity and light output and: - They emit in a single focal axis (front or rear), - They do not have space problems, can take up a lot of volume and have thermal, electronic interfaces or sources with greater light output than ambient light. - They can be installed recessed at the bottom of a large cavity, away from external light. - There are no problems with shocks (the bumper is before).

[0027] Comparison of the official requirements according to UN / ECE R6 regulation: - Indicator, side flashing, class 5 is 0.6 cd candela on the focal axis, sometimes smaller than ambient light. - Lights (front and rear), class 1 and 2, always greater than the ambient light.

[0028] Differences to the “turn signal”; For example, a DRL (daytime running light, white color) R 87, ECE / UN, located at the front of the vehicle, requires a photometry of 400 cd candela on the focal axis, i.e. 666 times greater than the turn signal.

[0029] The reality shows that manufacturers, in order to reduce costs, comply with the official UN / ECE regulations R6 for the required intensity of the indicator ( Fig. 1, on the reverse you can see the panel on which the photometry is carried out). the vehicle), 0.6 cd candela on the focal axis, horizontal angle 5° and plane H=0°, and extends to the side as a "minimum" horizontal angle < 60°; this means that the indicator must extend beyond 60° and to exploit its potential due to its vacuum position and its safety advantage, it is able to emit a signal and extend forward with an illumination angle of up to 180° or more, then the intensity of the emitted signal is distributed over this This intensity goes beyond that required by the authorities, in practice this intensity is even lower at this extent.

[0030] From the above, the following is demonstrated: 1- The disadvantage of the indicator in terms of signal perception in the face of any reflection or ambient light, especially during the day, is that, due to its shape and position, it always has a beam of external light perpendicular to its surface, which makes it easier to step on the signal and not see it, thus losing its technical and objective effect as a signal, especially in the frontal area, in effectiveness, being nullified and dangerous. 2- A partial view of the luminous surface of the indicator is dangerous and contradictory, as it is associated with an element that must be observed, a danger that is noticeable in the dark or in the rain. 3- According to the state of the art, NO signaling devices are known in VIS indirect vision systems with reflective optical bodies, transmitters, light distributors that are hidden and free from the incidence of external light or that carry out the process of transmission, reflection, or light quantity arranged as a second internal skin, which also allows a linear illumination surface with a reduced width of less than 10 mm. Can cover designs with a minimum capillary width of approximately 1 mm, while maintaining the light emission intensity required by official ECE / UN regulations, and are also capable of enclosing a space and cavity within a perimeter that can be utilized by connecting and combining other devices and functions.

[0031] There are also no known devices with mixed dynamic and repetitive activation at the same time that perform several different functions by changing the activation frequency.

[0032] The innovative solutions in this application include solutions for the signal and the structure; - The reflector is protected from external stray light. - a narrowing of the signal output phase, which prevents external interference and concentrates the emitted light, - high intensity on the entire illumination surface, since the emitting focal point is close and includes sectors such as parabolic reflecting substrates that concentrate and distribute all the light of a Lambertian source on a substrate with tangential and parabolic reflection, that is, with a spherical pattern (Lambert) that LEDs usually emit. - Operation with mixed activation, it is possible to have several emitters distributed along the track by sectors and substrates that can be activated by differentiating the emission zone in front of the emission zone towards the rear, being able to switch on the focal axes in front in a dynamics by sectors with respect to a firing order and switch off, the device with the longitudinal light guide with light entry at one end and light exit at the other is not capable of doing this. - More than one function, the same signal that serves as an indicator can be linked to the door handles to warn the driver and the approaching cyclist or an automatic system before opening the doors such as a braking or pedestrian detection system to indicate to the pedestrian that he is in a dangerous situation in front of the vehicle. - The opaque casing of the system ensures an aerodynamic design, supports other functions, hides and protects from the incidence of eternal light on the signal reflectors and impacts, and also has an advanced shape that organizes the aerodynamic flow it can offer A second technical effect and advantage comes from the placement of an independent operation indicator light closer to the driver's eyes by means of an anti-turbulence appendage in an area more forward of the driver and body. - The concept of being a second internal skin compared to the casing in which it is housed allows to reduce the overall volume of the system, turbulence and consumption. - can expand in any direction and have a luminous surface with any linear, straight, curved design or geometric shapes with open or closed perimeter. - It has an independent light output based on an optical appendix to assist the driver, who uses part of the light from the same light source to locate the mirror to avoid stress for the driver. - it encloses and is connected to a replaceable opaque cover that conceals the reflector and is capable of accommodating a small volume in the form of a substrate containing, on one side, the PCB circuit as a light source and, on the other side, as an antenna for receiving and / or emitting radio frequency waves, forming a multifunctional module. - You can add, include and link other devices with other selectable functions, such as a front camera, laser transmitter, logo projector, welcome light, infrared IR light to support the camera's night vision, temperature sensor, etc. Third side surveillance camera that can be remotely monitored by radio frequency, an RFID sensor or a matrix keypad to obtain an access key to the vehicle or to unlock the locks or activate the monitoring function.

[0033] It is necessary to find solutions to problems not covered by the prior art presented in this patent application and to provide innovations to improve the product and safety, assist the driver, and reduce costs through standardization and unification of functional modules. Interchangeable and multifunctional. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0034] The present invention relates to an indirect vision system for the side of a vehicle with a multifunctional mixed-multifocal light signal device comprising a reflector and a light diffuser with an associated light source concealed under an opaque cover forming part of the housing, or under an independent opaque cover with the technical effect of protecting the reflector from the incidence of external scattered light to improve the perception of the emitted signal, comprising: - A structure consisting of a housing body, a frame and a support attached to the body with at least one opening in which at least one camera, a mirror or a combination thereof is housed. - A multifunctional device is a mixed multifocal signal comprising a reflective substrate and a light source concealed behind an associated opaque cover leaving a gap in at least part of its perimeter or in the opaque cover itself, this gap comprising the linear illuminating surface derived from this reflective substrate through which it emits a mixed activation light signal, and both the cover and the illuminating surface occupy an opening in the housing in which they are housed.

[0035] It comprises at least two outer zones and one inner emission zone with different focal points; - a first external, rearward zone with repeated activation, synchronized with the first and with a single horizontal focal axis Sr. Both zones can function and be activated differently, belong to the same signaling device, and use the same complex reflector optics integrated in the body element. - a second zone outside the front of the dynamic activation with an on / off sequence of several horizontal focal axes, - a third inner zone comprising a small independent illumination surface 51 occupying another independent opening 4p located within the frame 80x of the housing and derived from an optical extension 52 of the reflective substrate 50, with a reference focal axis VC directed towards the driver's eyes. This assists in locating the mirror and automates the direction of gaze when activating the turn signal, avoiding tension and stress. The first or second outer zone is capable of providing a light source to the third inner zone.

[0036] All areas are capable of developing different functions by changing the color of light emission or activation frequency or by being linked to support other functional systems.

[0037] This multifunctional signaling device DS comprises a complex optical reflector body consisting of several parts with special properties, which are explained in more detail below. - a multi-point light source with a circuit and its electronic interface, - An inner sleeve for protection, fixation and prevention of light leaks. - a primary light reflector consisting of a transparent solid complex optical body comprising a primary reflective substrate in the form of an elongated solid substrate with at least one reflective surface or parabola and at least one entry and control point for the associated source light, - an outer opaque cover which conceals the reflecting substrate and the associated source and protects them from the incidence of external stray light, arranged as a second inner skin with respect to the cover which conceals them.

[0038] The complex optical reflector body, in turn, consists of two parts and three phases and is characterized by the use of multiple reflecting elements to direct all the source light onto a luminous output surface. It includes: - a main or primary reflector based on a tangentially reflecting substrate with light entry, - an inclined reflection surface, which is a secondary light-emitting reflector or peripheral reflector R2, arranged behind the outer transparent or translucent illumination surface 3 and always placed in front of the inclined surface so that the main reflector or the associated source is never visible and is not hidden from: - Said primary main reflector. It comprises a plurality of means for reflecting, directing, transmitting, distributing, concentrating, and directing the source light along a reference beam axis 33 to an inclined surface, an output reflector R2, or a secondary reflector, comprising: - When the illumination surface 3 is linear, the transverse reference axis beam 33 crosses its width at a short distance, the elongated reflective substrate 50 being located on one side with respect to the illumination surface and having at least one reflective parabolic profile 40, an extended reflective parabolic collimator 40c or a reflective substrate surface with a similar reflective technical effect. - If the illumination surface 3 is an at least partially closed circumferential figure, it comprises a plurality of omnidirectional reference axis beams, the reflecting substrate being contained in the circumference with respect to the illumination surface.

[0039] The reference axis rays are perpendicular in a plane to the secondary reflector R2 and are directed at least towards the part of its circumference that includes the inclined surface of the secondary reflector R2, in order to make a change of direction between 0° and 90° and to emit a signal in several phases horizontal focal axes along the illumination surface 3 integrated exterior, which occupies at least one opening 3p on the surface of the housing H and on the outside and inside of the frame widened by 80x,

[0040] The primary reflective substrate is based on a sector that can be repeated to form an integrated reflective substrate of several sectors, each of which has at least one entry point for the source light and takes the form of a transparent, solid, elongated band hidden behind an opaque cover three phases; - a main phase in which a hidden reflector 50 is installed, - a light input phase PH1 from a multipoint light source 30, 31 to the reflector and - a light output phase PH2, comprising a linear illumination surface 3 for emitting a multifocal signal E1 in several horizontal focal axes S1, S2, S3, Sn, Herr.

[0041] This luminous surface is linear, responds to the circumferential reflection of the hidden reflective substrate and is capable of developing any linear shape, curves, straight lines or figures with open or closed perimeter.

[0042] The light source consists of a PCB motherboard circuit, a thermal interface for heat dissipation, preferably comprising; B. LEDs, multi-chip LED strip or OLED substrate and is capable of linking other circuits with other functions on the same board. - HIDDEN INTEGRATED REFLECTOR. It is a laminar substrate in the form of a transparent and flattened, solid, elongated, laminar strip, the solid strip copying, substantially in parallel, the shape of the cover, of a part of the housing H containing it, or of an associated independent cover Hi, as a second inner skin, positioned under the housing, the lid, or the associated independent opaque cover H, Hc, Hi, hidden, concealed, and free from the incidence LI of external scattered light DL, and consisting of several reflective sectors, in turn, associated with solid reflective substrates, preferably of parabolic shape profile 40, each of which presents at least one flattened section positioned between the horizontal and the vertical with a parabolic profile coinciding with the axis or rays of the parabola,bounded and flattened between two tangential reflection surfaces 5 and 6, substantially parallel to each other, generate an internal tangential reflection 32t to associate and balance a principal transverse axis beam 33 for light transmission. They are integrated into a single reflecting body and comprise: , - LIGHT ENTRY. A first phase PH1 of light entry, preferably through one of the side faces 5 and 6 of the reflective substrate 50, with at least one light entry point 29 from the source 30 for each reflective substrate sector 50, located in the center of the substrate or part of its periphery, coinciding with the focal point 29 / F of a parabola 40 ( Fig. 15), represented by a plane P1, which together constitute the substrate 50; said source 30 comprises coupling means 29, optically or optically reflective, integrated in the same source or in the substrate 50, its object being to deflect the light from the front axis E0 between 0° and 90°, preferably perpendicularly, and to direct it in a given direction (selectable between a direction toward the perimeter of the signal output surface or omnidirectionally for linking sub-reflections). The light of the focal axis E0 of the source 30, to coincide with an internal reference axis 33, transmitted and reflected within the reflective substrate 50 transversely to the elongated laminar band, graphically represented by an axis-ray fundamental average vector 33.

[0043] The reference beam axis 33 is the directing axis and is located in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the secondary reflector R2 and / or to a linear illumination surface 3 for signal output, which corresponds to the peripheral edge of the reflector-distributor substrate 50 and crosses the width. Within the ribbon-shaped reflective substrate 50, there are a series of rays associated with the directing beam axis as direct, reflected, or sub-reflected rays, causing a tangential reflection 32t between two surfaces 5 and 6 that delimit and direct them in a direction similar to the reference axis beam 33 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the exit illumination surface 3, which coincides with the edge of the reflective substrate 50, or to a break that originates in the inclined reflection surface R2 or the signal output reflector R2 (parabolic, curved, or flat with a similar effect).which comprises part of the periphery of the reflector 50, which is a light output reflector R2 / 45° and represents the junction between interruption and change of direction substantially perpendicular between the planes P1 and P2. The change of direction lies between 0° and 90°, which represents the intersection point between the reflective substrate 50 as plane P1 parallel to the opaque cover H, which leaves it concealed, hidden and free from external incident light LI, and the advanced profile of the output phase PH2 formed between two other tangential reflection surfaces 7 and 8, substantially parallel to each other and represented by the plane P2 perpendicular to the cover H and generating the linear illumination surface 3, which forms the final end of the optical appendix - reflector PH2 - and occupies at least one external opening 3p in the housing H,located behind the mirror M1 and in front of the aperture of the mirror M1, capable of concentrating the light emission, isolating the reflector 50 from the incident external light and creating a horizontal emission reference axis E1 capable of emitting in a mixed multifocal manner in several horizontal focal axes S1, S2, S3, Sn for the said area towards the front-lateral FS; and with a focal axis Sr in the other area towards the rear RS. , Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 15, Fig. 17. - MAIN REFLECTOR. This is a main reflection substrate 50 connected to a multipoint light source 20, 30 in the form of a transparent, elongated solid substrate integrated by a plurality of sectors into a single complex optical-reflective body that essentially parallels the internal shape of the H, Hc, Hi shells it contains as a second inner skin. Form a reflector from several sectors S1, S2, S3,... Sn, Fig. 25, each sector being a substrate and together forming a larger integrated substrate in the form of a flattened ribbon with reflective means to direct the light onto a luminous signal output surface.

[0044] These reflective sectors include circumferential shapes of reflective parabolas 40 or collimated reflective parabolas 40c or reflective shapes with similar technical effects when the illumination surface is linear, and substrate shapes when the illumination surface is a circumferential geometric figure. They include: - Two essentially parallel adjacent surfaces 5 and 6 with tangential reflection ( Fig. 15), separated by a distance defining a thickness T of less than 10 mm. Their objective is to confine, reflect, and direct all the light from the source 30 within a parabolic sector 40. This confinement defines the concentrated parabolic sector with a flattened shape of the substrate 50, Fig. 8, and thus all the light from the source 30. The internal reflection means emanating from the focus F is transmitted with the central rays 33 and concentrated with greater intensity on the illumination surface 3. It represents a 2D profile of a parabolic reflector 40, which can extend through an x-axis and form, by means of a collimator 40c, a ribbon-like elongated parabolic reflector, to which a 3x elongated luminous surface corresponds. Fig. 8-12.

[0045] (Normally, in a 3D profile, the light emitted at the focus F of a 40-reflector parabola or its versions; collimator, extensions, light guides, hollow reflectors, transparent solids, with prisms, cones, subreflectors, surface optics, would be reflected in the direction of parallel rays, which is consistent with the basic concept of a luminaire comprising: a light source 30, a focus F, a reflecting parabola 40 and an illuminating surface 3f with total luminous efficiency. Fig. 7),

[0046] - INTERNAL AND EXIT REFLECTOR PERIMETER. The reflective substrate 50 defines, for a sector, a flattened geometric figure with two parts at its perimeter: on the one hand, an internal reflector in the shape of a parabola, and on the other, an inclined surface that is a secondary or exit reflector. The concept of a flattened parabola, 2D profile, has; - PERIMETER OF THE PARABOLA REFLECTOR. A peripheral reflecting part, preferably corresponding to the parabolic reflector sector 40, the parabolic collimator 40c, or its equivalent variants, corresponding to an axis parallel to the plane P1 of the substrate and to the axis of the parabola A, for aligning the rays in a similar manner to the transverse reference axis 33 as in any reflecting parabola, and, - SECONDARY REFLECTOR R2, OUTPUT REFLECTOR CIRCUMFERENCE. Another reflection portion, occupying at least part of the circumference of the reflective substrate 50, is intersected by an inclined surface R2 / 45°, which can be another parabola with an axis perpendicular to the plane P1 of the substrate, to generate a circumferential reflection containing the PH2 phase with a change in direction of the light and the shape that reflects the reference beam axis 33, between 0° and 90° to approach a horizontal axis that becomes a short-throw beam axis 34, which in turn generates the final horizontal emission E1, represented by the plane P2, preferably perpendicular to the surface of the housing H or the independent cover Hi that contains and conceals it, generating: - A light output phase PH2 with an advanced horizontal optical reflector profile PH2 with a horizontal beam axis 34, the advanced profile terminating in an external illumination surface 3 consisting of nested sectors 3a, 3b, 3c, 3n, 3R, at least one opening 3p associated in the housing H, capable of generating a multifocal light output with mixed activation, coinciding with the integrated sectors of the reflective substrate 50.

[0047] This horizontal deviation, between 0° and 90°, corresponds to the position of the reflective substrate 50 within the housing until the deviation coincides to obtain the final horizontal emission axis E1, corresponding to a plane, a parabolic sector, or an approximately inclined surface. For 45° reflection, a similar effect of light output R2, R2 / 45°, generates the final horizontal signal output E1 through the illumination surface 3, or 3x extended sectors 3a, 3b, 3c, 3n, 3R, which in turn form the emission axes S1, S2, S3, Sn, Sr. - LIGHT DIRECTION FROM THE SOURCE. - The light from the source 30 has a path from the entry point 29, which has reflection means to adjust the direction of the source axis E0 to the reference beam axis 33 inside the reflective substrate 50. It includes the following and is capable of: - At least one substantially vertical, transverse reference beam axis 33 crossing the width of the reflective substrate 50 and emanating from a source axis E0 delimited between two side faces 5 and 6 of tangential reflection 32t, substantially parallel to each other and forming the reflective substrate 50, for associating and directing a series of direct, reflected, sub-reflected rays in a direction substantially perpendicular to the secondary reflector R2 onto this reference beam axis 33, producing a change of direction between 0° and 90°, to produce at least one horizontal beam axis 34 aligned with the illumination surface 3 and capable of emitting a signal having at least one horizontal reference focal axis E1. - Emission of a signal by the illumination surface 3 integrated with at least one horizontal reference focal axis E1 in a mixed multifocal manner into two different focal areas visible in the environment of the VE vehicle; - a first external monofocal emission zone RS towards the rear with a horizontal focal axis Sr towards the rear, the optical-reflecting means generating it being arranged in the third T3 furthest from the body and, - a second external emission zone towards the front FS with several horizontal focal axes S1, S2, S3, Sn with the optical-reflecting means generating them and interfaces, in front of the opening of the mirror M1, behind the mirror M1, according to a horizontal plane FSx between an upper tangent tgs and a lower tangent tgi to the mirror. - SUB-REFLECTOR. Said reflective substrate 50 has reflection correction elements consisting of hollow elements, holes or sub-reflectors, SuR Fig. 10a, Fig. 10b, which provide intermediate internal surfaces 42 for generating changes in direction, they can be combined according to the desired technical effect, selectable between direct light E1d, incident light E1r, diffuse reflections E2G or retroreflections; Its objective is to confine, reflect, distribute and direct all the light from the source 30 between the two tangential reflection surfaces 5 and 6, applying angles of incidence less than 15°, constituting an average ray 33 represented by an average vector or set of rays directed towards a part of its circumference in which the inclined exit reflector surface is located and incident thereon at an angle of 90° / α (ideal perpendicular angle) to generate an internal reflection R-IN in said exit reflector circumference R2.

[0048] This surface is typically a parabolic sector 40, which can be replaced by an inclined surface with a similar reflection effect. It has a fracture surface R2 / 45° or a 45° surface to change the direction of the central beam 33 to a horizontal forward direction. E1 coincides with the direction of the focal axis of the multifunctional signaling device DS of the horizontal plane H = 0°. Fig. 13, Fig. 14 and Fig. 15.

[0049] LIGHT OUTPUT. A light output phase PH2 or second phase starting in the output reflector circumference R2 has: - Internal circumferential reflection means R-IN by an advanced optical reflector profile PH2 which deflects the central beam axis 33 substantially perpendicularly and creates a change of direction or break in the reflective substrate 50 generated by an inclined surface R2 / 45° exit reflection which occupies at least part of the perimeter of the reflective substrate 50 and is capable of generating an internal circumferential reflection deviated between 0° and 90° horizontally to the main beam axis 33 to form a gap between two substantially parallel surfaces 7 and 8 and another short-circuit beam axis 34 coinciding with a horizontal signal emission axis E1 represented by another plane P2, preferably perpendicular to the surface of the housing H which contains it.

[0050] Said advanced optical reflector profile PH2 occupies at least one opening 3p at its end, which is the linear illumination surface 3 where the horizontal signal E1 is emitted, and is provided with fastening means, fasteners 17, and elastomer joints 14e to prevent the ingress of air, water, or noise. Figures 13-20. - Means for concentrating light emission, involves a narrowing of the advanced optical-reflective profile, which is a narrow-width substrate or strip, with two tangential reflection surfaces 7 and 8 arranged at an angle with respect to the substrate. Reflector 50 , (when the reflector is positioned in any position in which its directional beam axis 33 is not horizontal) and reflects the main beam axis 33 as beam axis 34 and in turn as horizontal emission axis E1 through an integrated external illumination surface 3, which represents the end of the advanced optical-reflective profile and generates a luminous line emission.

[0051] The illumination surface 3 is formed by extruding the section they form together along a guide line 35; - the hidden reflective substrate 50, with the light entry points 29. - the secondary or circumferential reflector, which represents the inclined exit surface R2 / 45°, and - the advanced optical reflector concentrator profile PH2. Fig. 16.

[0052] The integration of the parabolic reflector sectors allows a linear illumination surface 3 capable of covering the entire housing H from one end to the other and also having several horizontal focal axes at the front that define part of the signal at the front FS with sectors S1, S2, S3, Sn. Fig. 21-27.

[0053] REFLECTOR, POSITION AND SHAPE. The complex reflective optical body in vertical section defines these shapes: A- If the illumination surface is linear, it presents an “L” profile, with the larger side being the main reflection substrate and the smaller side being the extended profile that ends at the illumination surface. B- When the illumination surface is a circumferential figure or two separate lines, it represents an elongated "U" profile, where the base is the main reflection substrate and the upward projections are the advanced profiles terminating in two illumination surfaces.

[0054] Once these surfaces are extruded, they define the light emission number, which allows: 1 - The main laminar reflection substrate and the associated source must be hidden as a second internal skin behind an opaque cover H, Hc, which is part of the housing, in order to avoid and remain free from the incidence of external stray light LI on the substrate and to optimize signal perception during the day. 2 - The reflective substrate is a transparent solid 50 consisting of flattened parabolic reflective substrates 40 that are integrated and bonded together. 3 - Each reflecting sector has at least one light input 29 from the light source 30. 4 - Part of the periphery of these associated reflectors generates a horizontal signal beam E1 through a linear illumination surface 3 over the entire length of the housing H, Hc which contains it through at least one opening comprising the outer part of the body shell structure. 5 - The H, Hc, Hi cover configures a design linked to the DS signal to improve aerodynamics and signal perception, protect against impacts, and shield from external light. It generates up to 4 related functions, making the VIS system polyfunctional in terms of its shape and design. - a protruding projection Hp as impact protection next to the luminous surface 3, - a forward profile Ha with the technical effect of avoiding externally incident light LI on the illumination surface 3 and converting it into rejected, reflected or absorbed light LIR, - a lateral aerodynamic Ch3 antiturbulence channel created between Hp and Ha. - a distance Hd extending beyond the frame to prevent chafing at the distal end. - creates at least one of four air outlet channels; - Ch1 inwards between housing H and CAR vehicle, supplemented by a protruding appendix Hx, - Ch2 down, - Ch3 to the outside, away from the body of the car, - A0, top. Fig. 13-16, 21, 22, 23, 33-36, 43. 6 - The reflector 50 is generally substantially flat, like a strip, therefore it can be arranged edge-on (perpendicular) or parallel to the housing that contains it, thus allowing the transverse reference axis beam 33 to be arranged in a position between parallel 0° and perpendicular 90° with respect to a vertical plane

[0055] The reflective substrate 50, represented in the diagram by a plane P1 arranged parallel to the housing H, is able to create a space 70 between the substrate 50 and the cover of the housing H, the substrate undergoing a change of direction or interruption on the inclined surface R2 in the circumferential and reference beam axis 33, passing from the vertical to the horizontal as axis 34, precursor of the horizontal emission focal axis E1.

[0056] 7 - ILLUMINATION SURFACE. This outer linear illumination surface 3, or extended threefold, is the end of the advanced PH2 optical reflector profile.

[0057] OPENING,. Said surface 3 occupies at least part of an external opening 3p on the external surface of said housing H, alone or in association with the independent cover Hi. It is configured with variants depending on the design and functions of the multifunctional signaling module DS, selectable between; - at least one opening in the housing H, - a gap between the housing H and the associated independent cover Hi, - an opening inside the cover Hi, which in turn is the geometric figure occupying the opening 3p, - The luminous perimeter obscures a geometric figure surrounding the cover Hi. - more than 10% of the circumference of an associated cover Hi occupying an opening 3p in the housing.

[0058] The illumination surface is capable of emitting the horizontal signal E1 mixed multifocally in at least two areas of different focus; - a first monofocal rear emission zone RS with a horizontal rear focal axis Sr, located in the third T3 furthest from the body, - a second front-lateral emission zone FS with a plurality of horizontal focal axes S1, S2, S3, Sn, arranged behind the mirror M1 according to a horizontal plane FSx between an upper tangent tgs and a lower tangent tgi to the mirror, both zones being visible through the environment of the electric vehicle.

[0059] The illumination surface 3 corresponds to the secondary reflector or exit peripheral reflector of the inclined surface R2 and several integrated sectors of the hidden reflector 50 with its focal axes S1, S2, S3, Sn and Sr, it includes at least the outer sectors 3a, 3b, 3c, 3n and 3R with linear light shape, suitable for: - Cover the outer surface of the housing H from one end to the other, occupying at least part of the three-thirds into which the housing block H is divided, with a shape resembling a linear luminous band. - A convex curve with respect to a horizontal section of the housing body, Fig. 16, Fig. 25. - at least one horizontal segment in the front signal part FS, which is involved in the dynamic ignition. - Designs occupying at least one 3p opening on the outer side of the surface of the casing H of the casing made up of curved, straight luminous lines or geometric perimeter figures, open, closed, regular, irregular, continuous or discontinuous or in combination thereof, without leaving to comply with the official photometry of the signal emitted in a horizontal focal axis towards the rear from the farthest end of the body comprising the third block T3 furthest from the CAR body, without obstructing the view of the driver of the DV vehicle. - The reflector 50 must be free from extraneous light LI. - Increase the concentration of light on the illumination surface by concentrating the advanced optical reflector profile through a tangential reflection by reducing the thickness T between the tangential reflection surfaces 7 and 8 of the light exit channel PH2. Fig. 13, Fig. 14. - They have a variable width and different types of light emission: direct, diffused, semi-diffuse, continuous homogeneous or discontinuous heterogeneous through a multitude of visible sectors in an opening or in several openings on the surface of the housing that hides the reflector. - have a colouration on the transparent, tinted or translucent luminous surface in various colours, preferably orange, white; or colourless if the colouration of the emitted light is caused by the wavelength of the light source. - Have a smooth, machined surface with multiple optics, engraved or micro-engraved, or reflective dichroic, nimometric, screened foil, an associated film that transmits a portion of the light through a transparent, opaque, clear, dark, mirrored, dichroic, or holographic screen, or of injected bimaterial.

[0060] 8 - POLYFUNCTIONAL. The linear perimeter figures of the lighting surface comprise an inner surface occupied by an opaque cover that conceals the reflective substrate. The cover H is part of the housing that contains it or of an additional independent cover Hi, and comprises, below, a space that is an internal laminar volume 70 capable of connecting or incorporating other functional devices to compose a polyfunctional, multiple, grouped, combinable, and mixed device and selectable system. - a radio frequency antenna and / or its integrated amplifier circuit and terminals, connected to the interface of the PCB circuit of the light source, integrated on the other side of the circuit or separately. - another lighting device such as smart light, corner light or corner light or auxiliary light for slow maneuvers. - a temperature sensor. - an RFID reader (Radio Frequency Identification). - a matrix keypad for access keys, activation or door opening. - a ScF front camera with forward focus to see the rolling area of ​​the front wheel, especially the one opposite the rider. - an IR infrared light to support the night vision of each camera. - a laser line light projected parallel to the vehicle onto the side floor to indicate how far the doors can be opened, - an image, logo or welcome projector. - a side welcome or safety light - a device emitting a sound signal or a buzzer or a mini-speaker. - a side marker light. - a keypad matrix for the vehicle access code 73.

[0061] These devices are able to assign functions, form combinations or packages and support other vehicle functions; Form an independent module of the intermittent signal as a single multifunctional standard module, which can be replaced in the structure of the indirect vision system, which becomes a system of flexible indirect vision by adapting to the same structure, shape, simplifying connections and assembly speed, so as to save costs in design, development, assembly labor, and when replacing, provide the fast and cost-effective way of a functional package in vehicles with different characteristics according to convenience.

[0062] Mixed activation applies a distinction between zones of the same signaling device. The front zone has multiple horizontal focal axes at the front and sides, and the rear zone has a single focal axis, which in turn is suitable for compliance with official photometry. Fig. 1 as a Class 5 indicator signaling device, Regulation R6, ECE / UN, positioned on the focal axis of the rearward signal emission at level 60 at the outermost end of the body, without obstructing the driver's view. (With some minor angle variations, it is equally homologated in the USA according to SAE J914, SAE J915 or in Japan according to Art. 41, or vice versa. The same principle applies to front and / or rear indicators on motorcycles, bicycles, or derivatives according to R. No. 51, No. 52, and No. 53 ECE / UN.)

[0063] The multifunctional signaling device DS in conjunction with the system structure is located behind the mirror M1 between an upper tangent tgs and a lower tangent tgi thereof, Fig. 34, and; considering the housing body as a block vertically divided into three blocks representing three vertical thirds T1, T2, T3; realizes the light emission via a rear reference axis Sr through the third T3, which includes the farthest end of the CAR body on the outside of the frame 80x; defines and distinguishes a signal emission field O1 from a shadow field O2 in which the driver's eyes DV are located, delimited by an imaginary line O0. Fig. 3, Fig. 22 and Fig. 36.

[0064] MIXED ACTIVATION. The mixed concept results from the application of three different activation zones with the same optical body. It includes the zones: external anterior-lateral FS dynamic, external posterior RS repetitive, and internal anti-stress localizer 51 repetitive. This mixed activation of the signal for the blinking function includes: - The external front signal FS switches on and off in a differentiated and dynamic manner, via a low-cost activation time controller 22, which controls at least three sectors S1, S3 and S3 and is therefore able to develop the activation function dynamically in the front signal part FS with at least three LEDs according to an activation sequence starting with the S1 sector closest to the CAR body, Fig. 1-3 and ending with the S3 or Sn sector furthest from the CAR body; said control 22 is arranged at the interface of the PCB circuit of the light source 20, it activates the front sectors FS one after the other at low cost, each sector has at least one LED 30 with its corresponding input 29 per sector and each covers a wide extension of the luminous surface 3. - External signal behind RS. The horizontal reference focal axis Sr of the reverse signal RS has a repetitive drive activated directly by the general system of the vehicle through the general circuit in the CAN bus network of control units and includes a specific light source 20b with at least one LED 31 (different from the rest of the LEDs 30 of the light source 20) arranged in an extension or on the side one end of the printed circuit board, which generates the repeated on and off reverse signal along the horizontal reference axis Sr. - Internal anti-stress locator signal 51. It is a specially designed and configured signal with the same optical body and light source.

[0065] It uses the same light source with its LED 31, 30R or an additional LED, but with the same light source interface PBC circuit 20, 20b, which generates the reverse signal RS, visible from the external environment VE in the signal zone 01. It also provides the following: A light source is connected to the mirror search device 51 M1 by means of an optical attachment 52 to provide the driver DV with an anti-stress visual aid.It radiates along a reference axis VC through a small independent illuminating surface 51 occupying another opening 4p of any geometric shape, preferably square, circular or triangular, arranged in the widening of the frame of the housing 80x, surrounded by an opaque anti-reflection area 53 to improve its perception and contrast, the emission being diffused light of low intensity with a focal axis of the reference VC, directed towards the NO signal area 02, reserved to allow the DV driver's vision to see the image of the mirror M1 without interference.

[0066] The mixed activation signal concept is capable of covering the three areas of emission, dynamic FS forward signal, and both RS / SR emissions to the rear and / or VC toward the driver's eyes. Repeated DV activation switches on and off (one is directed toward the surroundings), VE in signal zone 01 and another to the DV driver in NO signal zone 02, with an on-off activation frequency of 90 + / - 31 cycles per minute (bpm).

[0067] POLYFUNCTIONAL SIGNAL DS. This visual warning with two different illuminated surfaces 51 and at least the rear signal 3R, directed at different actors (DV driver and VE environment), is capable of; - Activated with commands to open the doors from inside or outside in any operating mode. - connect to a controller that generates an equal or higher activation frequency (> 120 bpm, greater than the indicator) - provide a second function to provide simultaneous advance warning to the driver and the surrounding area before the vehicle door is opened. - using a projector Ls, assign a laser line LL parallel to the vehicle on the ground to indicate how far the front doors Do1 and the rear doors Do2 of the vehicle are opened, Fig. 3, Fig. 56, Fig. 58. - be associated with an internal and / or external sound generator 58 which, when activated, produces a conditioned behavior to guide the gaze and automate the behavior without thinking, with the technical effect of producing a reflex act. - The reflective optical means generating the reverse signal RS comprise and are selectable between an external light guide 50', an internal light guide, a hollow reflection and correction surface 43 of the emitted light Sr, an emission LED 30R, 31 with direct or reflected emission, a prime 40' or a reflective surface 40' away from the LED 30R,

[0068] Fig. 28-32, which are part of the same optical body as the reflectors 50 and use a circuit 20b connected via a cable to the circuit 20 of the front emission part FS.

[0069] This form of mixed activation is capable of generating an activation and deactivation action of the sectors indicating movement from the body to the side with at least 3 LEDs 30 that turn on and add up until a final glow is achieved for all sectors for more than 120 milliseconds. Such illumination, through different reflective sectors and focal axes S1, S3, S3, Sn, does NOT require the use of multiple LEDs to achieve the same technical effect (typically 8 LED units or more, or an expensive driver with multiple signal outputs).

[0070] These sectors on the illumination surface 3 have a confluence area that mixes the light E1c emitted from each source point, creating an effect of flowing and mixing light in advance, Fig. 25, improving signal perception and safety at low cost and increasing reliability and robustness (fewer elements are more reliable, as many tracks and many LEDs can overheat and be damaged more easily.

[0071] The mixed control of the multi-function signal device DS in one of its functions as a flasher Fig. 3, 26 and 33 to 40 includes a synchronization: - The front signaling part FS, the front reflective sectors S1, S2, S3, Sn and the corresponding lighting surface 3a, 3b, 3c and the LEDs 30 have a successive dynamic activation that starts in the LED 30 and the sector closest to the vehicle until the most distant by applying a specific controller chip 22 and; in the same period in which these front sectors are activated and deactivated. - The rear signal output section RS is repeatedly activated by at least one LED 31 at a frequency of 90 + / - 31 beats per minute or cycles per minute, a frequency that includes and extends the requirements required in R6, Part 6.2.2 and 6.5.9 UNECE / UN, synchronizing the activation and deactivation of the front row on the same frequency. This means that at the moment the rear signal RS cycles, the front signal FS activates and deactivates all its sectors. Fig. 58.

[0072] The same LED source 31 of the reverse signal RS is capable of providing signal light and the same repetition frequency of the anti-stress locator 51 of the mirror M1, with the technical effect of driver assistance. The entire signal emission DS is visible to the surroundings VE, and the locating signal of the anti-stress mirror 51 is visible to the driver of the vehicle DV only via a diffuse focal axis VC. Fig. 3, Fig. 31, Fig. 32, Fig. 36, Fig. 54, Fig. 58. MIXED ACTIVATION and ILLUMINATED FIELD. This DS signaling device is multifunctional and multifocal, emitting mixed dynamic-repetitive activation in at least two areas (relative to the vehicle's 100 orbital axis). Relative to the vehicle's orbital axis, it combines: a repetitive activation at a frequency of 90 + / - 31 cycles per minute (bpm) with a dynamic zone consisting of: - a monofocal posterior RS zone with a posterior Sr reference axis extending from -5° to over 60° as a minimum angle, repetitive and, - an area DV facing the eyes of the vehicle driver, with a reference focal axis VC serving as an anti-stress locator, oriented toward the vehicle interior, extending from -5° to -90°, repeating, combined with an independent illumination area 51 located within the widened frame, 80-fold repeat activation. This focal axis VC emits a low-intensity diffuse light within the non-illuminated field 02 of the vehicle interior and ranging from -5° to -90°. - a dynamically activated multifocal FS front zone with at least 3 reference focus axes S1, S2, S3, ... Sn ranging from 60° to over 180°, dynamically activated and initiated by activating the nearest focus axis S1 to the farthest focus axis Sn, with all focus axes remaining switched on for at least 200 milliseconds at the end of the cycle before switching off, synchronizing each cycle with the repeating zones of the mirror M1.

[0073] This mixed and coordinated dynamic-repeating activation between zones and different focal axes is not achievable with Class 1 vehicle devices in front of and Class 2 vehicle devices behind a vehicle, which have a single focal axis and in one direction and are not visible to the driver. Fig. 1-3, 58.

[0074] The reflecting media in the input phase 29 or output phase R2, R-IN comprise, as an ideal concept, parts of reflecting parabolas which, in concept, produce emissions of parallel rays, but this theoretical concept has a margin of correction and can be applied with a similar effect. Technically, another type of reflector or a surface inclined at a similar angle of 45° R1 / 45°, R2 / 45° would Fig. 12-15, alternatively a part of a cone can produce a similar technical reflection effect, taking into account the correction exerted by the surfaces of tangential reflection 5 and 6, 7 and 8 respectively in the input or output phase.

[0075] The tangential reflection surfaces 5 and 6 and the advanced optical reflector profile 7 and 8 have a separation that defines a thickness T of less than 10 mm (<10 mm). They can be approximately parallel through the same correction principle and the same rectification margin of tangentially reflected light 32t, applying low reflection incidence angles of less than 15° and generating a central beam 33 as an ideal reflection with a non-restrictive concept.

[0076] Opaque cover and housing. The concept of the hidden reflector 50 and the linear illumination surface 3 enables: - An opaque lid or cover that conceals the reflector 50 may have a different color and be made of a different material: polycarbonate, ABS, carbon, aluminum, compared to the rest of the housing and may feature a variety of design combinations of the outer casing of the reflector system. - A design for the shape of the case with three technical effects; - aerodynamic, - Protection against external light incident on the light signal, - Protection against impacts based on an associated HP profile, close to the luminous surface.

[0077] BLIS and AERODYNAMICS. The aerodynamic effect associated with at least one signaling device comprises a shape with a progressive aerodynamic point or profile Ha, associated with a recessed area shape Ad; with the technical effect of promoting aerodynamic air outlet, creating up to four air outlet channels, while simultaneously protecting against the incidence of extraneous light. - Ch1 inwards between housing H and vehicle CAR, - Ch2 down, - Ch3 to the outside away from the vehicle body CAR, Fig. 35 and Fig. 43. - A0, upwards, which is not a channel, but rather a turbulence correction and more effective penetration. These design options have the technical effect of generating less turbulence and noise, providing additional protection against external light reaching the lighting surface, and protecting it from impacts. This is usually made of PMMA methacrylate, a fragile and brittle material that can withstand impacts.

[0078] The aerodynamic effect associated with at least one signaling device also makes it possible to develop an extension Hx of the casing H towards the CAR body, starting from an imaginary line 0 corresponding to one-third T0 outside the block of thirds of the casing of a lighting device Bs, BLIS warning of a driver assistance device associated with sensors and radars, since it is the area closest to the driver's eyes DV. Fig. 35-51. - Development of designs with luminous, revolving, multiple, regular or irregular, continuous or discontinuous linear geometric shapes that make it possible to individualise the vehicle brand as a distinctive feature that can be protected as a registered model. - Have an empty space within the specified luminous perimeters that can be connected to other devices such as an antenna, an acoustic buzzer 58, another DS2 luminous device or a catadioptric reflector. - Development of high light intensity devices that cannot be achieved during the day with inefficient longitudinal light guides and extension of their application to other lights or indicators in order to develop driver assistance devices capable of starting from a linear geometric figure such as a triangle symbolising danger to be visible in broad daylight. - Simplify industrialization by adopting a simple assembly method and not forming a closed assembly that requires an external transparent surface enclosing a volume that requires a watertight weld or a perfect metallized process surface like any visible reflector or avoiding condensation problems.

[0079] In product variants, the multifunctional signaling device DS applies with hidden reflector for emission in the rear reference focal axis Sr, with a generally transparent cover 1', 50' or a light guide 50' with different solutions and reflective means associated with the same transparent optical body of the hidden reflector 50. Fig. 28, Fig. 29 and Fig. 31.

[0080] SURVEILLANCE CAMERA. The indirect vision system VIS, which applies vision systems via mirrors or cameras, can integrate into its support 81 another independent ScS or surveillance side camera suitable for remote surveillance or facial recognition of access to the vehicle or as a third camera with proximity detection images in the side area of ​​the vehicle 65 in front of the access door, recognition of images for security, prevention of theft or vandalism at said access area or locks with remote monitoring via radio, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, activation of access to the vehicle. The camera is capable of detecting movement, has night vision and works in conjunction with or replaces an RFID reader or a matrix keypad for vehicle access control 73. The images are stored in a removable digital memory inside the vehicle in a USB port or similar 75. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0081] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting. A person skilled in the art can, by combining similar elements or varying the design, obtain a product with equivalent technical effects without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0082] Fig. 1 - Perspective of a vehicle with indirect vision system VIS, with multifocal mixed signal device DS with hidden reflector, the development planes of the vehicle are observed, 60, 61, 62 with respect to the circulation axis 100, the ZY plane (rear) is a grid in which the photometry of the rear signal device RS is carried out in accordance with UNECE standard regulation No.6 is measured between 5° and 60° as a minimum horizontal angle and + / - 15° vertically; On the ground plane ZX, a projection with an angle of 60°, we see projected other signal sectors corresponding to the focal axes S1, S2, S3, Sn of the same mixed multifocal signal DS, magnified from the anterior part FR of the lateral and anterior emission; A line 00 is observed which separates a signal zone and a non-signal zone; The signal DS is a mixed multifocal signal covering a back-illuminated field RS connected to another illuminated field different from the anterior FS; Its on-off activation by sectors can be different on one side or the other, dynamically forward with serial, sequential, successive activation of each of its focal axes and repeatedly backward with a single horizontal focal axis., monofocal.

[0083] Fig. 2 - IDEM perspective Fig. 1, the VIS system is observed, it is multifunctional and can develop other functions on the ZX basic level, selectable, the projection of a logo, interior lighting, welcome ABC, Pr; An LL laser line projected on the ground, indicating where the doors are opened to avoid the accident when the door is slammed outwards, complements the dual function of the turn signal when it warns in advance and works at a different activation frequency such as the opening of the doors, or an infrared light with a focal axis close to the ground 63, to support a frontal night vision camera of the ScF system.

[0084] Fig. 3 - Top view of a vehicle according to the rotation axis 100, shown on the left side; - the external viewing points VE front, side and rear, - DV driver eyes internal viewpoints, - a signal field 01, which is distinguished by an imaginary line 00 from a non-signal field 02, in which the eyes of the DV driver are located - the emission fields of the signal DS with respect to an axis 101 parallel to the circulation axis 100 passing through and extending through the signalling device; - The rear-radiated signal field RS has a horizontal reference focal axis Sr aligned at -5° and covering a minimum angle of 60° or more. - the signal field radiated towards the front FR, multifocal S1, S2, S3, Sn, in the range from 60° to 180° or more. - each focal axis comprises an illuminated horizontal field wide enough to intersect - merge with each other and create a continuous illuminated horizontal signal field that can span the external signal range 01 from -5° to +180°, even if the illumination area is made up of separate sectors due to the opaque cover of the system housing. - the emission field of the anti-stress luminous indicator for the mirror position, which is part of the signaling device DS and radiates with the same source through an independent lighting surface with a reference focal axis VC aligned with the driver's eyes DV within the field No signal 02, covers the range from -5° to -90°. - the emission field of the VB light display in connection with the assistance system “BLIS” or “ADAS” and its RZ blind spot and lane departure warning radars. - the line of sight perceived by the driver of the rearview mirror image Vm and the monitors M DV. On the right side, the field of view of the images acquired as an indirect VIS vision system by ScF front cameras, MZ1 mirrors or MZ2 mirror spotters or M monitors, the blind zones 99, in particular on the front wheel opposite the driver Blind zone The front camera ScF 98 is detected which, together with other front and rear cameras 96 and 95, together with the RZ radar sensors, configures a 360-degree vision and detection system over the vehicle's surroundings. - The open doors Do1, Do2, connected to the projected laser line indicator LL, on the lateral floor of the vehicle and parallel to the axis 100, represent the second function of the indicator DS when it is activated at a different frequency, linked to the opening operation of the doors. Open the doors beforehand from inside the vehicle. The position projected into the vacuum of the protruding structure of the indirect vision set VIS is observed because one advantage is to emit signals and acquire images "see and be seen", a disadvantage it is due to the incidence of external scattered light LI, daylight DL or from other vehicles, which make the emitted signal less effective.

[0085] The RZ front radar or a front camera 96 ​​is capable of detecting objects and pedestrians ahead and, together with both DS signaling devices, triggers automatic emergency braking as a third function alongside the turn signal as an assistant for this emergency braking. Emergency or simple detection serves to support the display and signaling of the endangered pedestrian ahead, at least in the front area (FS).

[0086] Of particular note is the 65-degree field of view in front of the vehicle access doors of a third intelligent camera with side orientation monitoring motion sensor ScS, which can be remotely monitored via radio and can perform a dual function: monitoring, capturing and recording data or image recognition to unlock locks.

[0087] Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 - They form the Fig. 74-A and Fig. 76-B of patent E06008490.2 and ES200001834 by A. Rodriguez Barros to observe the effect of external scattered light DL on a light guide 150, even when the cover is externally transparent 1 and a dark background 12-x.

[0088] Fig. 6 - Provides Fig. 26 of the Donnelly Corporation patent EP09671118 A2, where in Fig. 22, Fig. 23 shows that the bidirectional signaling device comprises two fiber optic reflective elements, tubes 230, 250, with reflective facets 238 and more. The surfaces 234 exposed to the incidence of external scattered light DL, and beyond them, the signal exit surface 245 would be visible to the driver, which is a safety hazard. See a light when you need to see the rearview mirror.

[0089] Fig. 7 - Basic concept of a street lamp, luminaire or lantern type, based on a parabolic reflector 40, an emitting focus F and a total luminous surface 3f. Opposite the emitted R rays E1, the total luminous surface 3f collects all the external incident light LI of the daytime ambient light DL and is reflected in the parabola 40 as internal reflection R-IN in the opposite direction to the emission towards the focus F, therefore it counteracts the emitted light and the signal perception loses effectiveness.

[0090] Fig. 8 - Concept for solving the problem of Fig. 7, based on the present invention, wherein between two tangential reflection planes 6 and 5, parallel to the emission focal axis A or a radius R, a transparent reflective substrate 50 is formed which is a sector of the parabola 40, a part of the perimeter supports the reflection on one side and another part of the perimeter forms the illumination surface 3 and generates the concentrated signal output, thus achieving the technical effect of avoiding the incidence of external stray light LI and concentrating all the emitted light on a linear and narrow illumination surface 3, capable of emitting the rays of a similar source F in a concentrated manner as E1c and optimizing the signal perception for the same amount of source light; the emission is linearly concentrated.

[0091] Fig. 9 - Section through a parabolic reflector 40, as internal reflector IN and external reflector EX, explains in the diagram the concept of a parabola as a reflector and its versions used in the patent to define a sub-reflector SuR / R- EX' is used for the phase input 29, as light input into the reflecting substrate 50 of the emitted light E1 by focus F or LED 30 by applying a displacement to create a parabolic sector collimator R-EX in a left and right direction Di, Dd , towards the center of the focal axis A with the technical effect of creating an omnidirectional reflection or directed to the sides E2, transformed into E2', and at the same time allowing the direct emitted light E1d to pass with two different left and right variants.

[0092] Fig. 10a - Variant for directly reflected light distribution, according to Fig. 9 to the left of the focal axis A, in order to create a change of direction, by making a hole 42 in the form of a parabola, create a surface (concept Fig. 9, left of the focal axis A) and have a surface as an external parabolic reflector R-EX or sub-reflector SuR inside the reflective substrate 50 and produce a double internal reflection R-IN towards the circumferential parabola 40 can be covered with a metallized or reflective material 41 that facilitates reflection and prevents the leakage of internal light, with the technical effect that all the reflected emitted light E1r, E1d is directed and distributed directly towards the opposite circumference where the illumination surface 3 or the signal emission surface is located, another option It is a cover to improve the dark, gray or black contrast. The reflective substrate 50 has a change in direction, which is the output phase 3.

[0093] Fig. 10b - Variant for the distribution of directly reflected light as diffuse light (concept Fig. 9 to the right of the focal axis A), in order to produce a change in direction in the reflecting substrate 50, a hole 42 is made in the form of a parabola as in Fig. 9 thus creates an outer parabolic reflector surface R-EX or subreflector SuR within the reflective substrate 50 and, upon passing through an etched side surface G, generates a diffuse reflection E2G, which aligns the direct emissions and diffusely reflects reflections E1d, diffuse E2G, and E2Gr to the exit luminous surface 3. The reflective substrate 50 has a change of direction, which forms the exit phase 3.

[0094] Fig. 11 - Perspective view and transparency of the concept of Fig. 7. The reflecting surfaces 5 and 6 limit the rays R emitted by a focus source F forming the reflecting substrate 50, which is perpendicular to the axis of the parabola A, the ray-axis 33 is reflected in a parabolic sector 40, which is the output reflector R2, which coincides with a corresponding illumination surface shape 3 preceding the output reflector R2 and concentrates all the light emitted by the focus F in a linear closed circular figure; The opaque cover H hides the reflector 50 and the focus source F to prevent the incidence LI of external stray light DL on the reflector 50, and emits the signal E1.

[0095] A second phase of light emission is observed, a narrowing between surfaces 7 and 8, which are NOT parallel to each other, to produce a light concentration on the illumination surface 3.

[0096] The luminous surface is never in front of the source F, but in front of the output circumferential reflector R2.

[0097] The reflective substrate 50 has a break, a change of direction, which creates the exit reflection peripheral surface R2 = parabolic sector 40 = circumferential circle and creates the section PH2 composed of the said surfaces 7 and 8, which represents an advanced optical-reflective profile that ends on the luminous surface 3, therefore always facing the exit edge reflector R2.

[0098] Fig. 12 - The scheme of a parabolic reflector 40 defines the displacements of sectors of reflecting parabolas, a parabolic collimator 40c and the development of the optical body of the reflector substrate 50. The technical effect consists in varying the distance in width and length by 50x, 50y and the illumination area 3x, areas with other reflecting parabolas with

[0099] Interference zones 40i are linked, optimizing and homogenizing the light concentrated on the illumination surface 3 and reducing the volume of the reflector 50 as a substrate. Directly emitted rays E1d and reflected rays E1r, as well as direct and reflected rays E1d+E1r in the interference zone, are observed. Here, the reflecting substrate 50 exhibits a change in direction perpendicular to the reflecting substrate 50 in the initial phase 3.

[0100] The reflective substrate 50 is characterized in that the central principal beam axis 33 is transmitted and reflected in a perpendicular direction (angle a = 90°) as direct emission E1d toward the illumination surface 3, E1d runs transversely to the substrate 50 and is transmitted across the width. The internal reflection means, the parabolic circumference 40 and the parabolic collimator 40c in an extended version are suitable so that the reflected rays E1r also reach the illumination surface 3 across the width and with perpendicular incidence (angle a = 90°) through the substrate 50.

[0101] Fig. 13 - Cross-section of a reflective substrate 50 hidden by an opaque cover H. The light source 30 has its entrance into the reflector 50 through the focal axis F parallel to the reflecting surfaces 5 and 6, with optical control means 29 mounted on one edge and defining the light entrance phase PH1, on the opposite periphery it has the exit phase PH2 which is an advanced optical-reflective profile, applies light concentrating means based on a constriction, with the technical effect of increasing the concentration of the emitted light E1 on the illumination surface 3. In the reflector 50, the beam emitted by the tangential reflection 32t on the boundary surfaces 5 and 6 stands out. It is a central beam axis 33 and its position is at any angle between the directrix D equal to 0° and the axis of the parabola A equal to 90° with respect to the directrix.The reflective substrate 50 changes the direction of the emission focal axis E1 toward the illumination surface 3 in the output phase PH2 and has a different direction than the source focal axis E0 in the input phase PH1. The distance between the surfaces 5 and 6 defines a thickness T that is less than 10 mm.

[0102] Fig. 14 - Detailed view of the light output phase PH2 of the reflective substrate 50 uses a taper between surfaces 7 and 8 as a means of concentration, which is reduced by tangential reflection with a start to end of the reflection parabola 40c defined by a distance L2, towards the luminous surface 3 with L1 < L2. The technical effect is that the opaque cover H obscures the reflective substrate 50.

[0103] In the part associated with the linear opening 3p, the cover has a protrusion Hp to protect against shocks and prevent the incidence of external scattered light LI on the illumination surface 3, which is rejected as reflected incident light LIR. Zooming in, it can be observed that the internal reflection parabola comprises reflection means integrated by micro-surfaces or nanometric development to define a collimated parabola 40c consisting of reflection surfaces R2 and surfaces R2' that neutralize the externally incident light LI. The distance between surfaces 5 and 6 defines a thickness T less than 10 mm.

[0104] Fig. 15 - Cross-section of a reflective substrate 50 covered by an opaque cover H. The light source 30 enters the reflector 50 through the focal axis F perpendicular to the tangential reflection surfaces 5 and 6.It comprises optical control means 29 on edge of the reflective substrate 50 and define the light entry phase PH1, on the side of one of the tangential reflection surfaces 6 the axis E0 of the light source 30 is parallel to the emission axis E1 generated by a second reflection in the exit phase PH2, the beam emitted, transmitted and reflected in the reflective substrate 50 is an average reference beam axis 33 and the tangential reflection 32t has a correction margin that allows to replace the reflection surfaces by other surfaces at approximately 45°, R1 / 45° and R2 / 45° angle of incidence and obtain a similar technical effect with the same result on the illumination surface 3 of the emitted signal E1, without applying reflection parabolas.The reflective substrate 50 is represented by the plane P1, the break or change of direction by the reflective plane R2, and the plane through the position of the exit substrate between the surfaces 7 and 8 by the plane P2, which creates the illumination surface 3, the 3p opening; The reflective substrate 50, which copies the shape of the opaque cover H, creates a space 70 that can be occupied by other functional devices.

[0105] Fig. 16 - Cross-sectional view of a DS mixed signal device with reflective substrate 50 covered by cover H, similar to the concept of Fig. 15, but applied to the structure of a true indirect vision system arranged between chassis 18 and enclosure cover H; a line 35 is observed as an extrusion guide in the design of this section. This is the method that allows the integration and development of an extended linear illumination surface, keeping the entire interface of reflection, source, and reflective substrate 50 hidden and protected from the incidence of external parasitic light. LI, DL.

[0106] Fig. 17a, Fig. 17b, Fig. 17c - Views of various concept sections, similar to the Fig. 13, Fig. 14 and Fig. 15,

[0107] It is characteristic that: The focal axis E0, E0a, E0b, E0c of the light source 30 can be positioned at any angle between 0° and 180° with respect to the always horizontal emission focal beam axis E1. The illumination surface 3 never faces the source 30 or the reflective substrate 50, which are hidden behind the cover H and protected from the incidence of external light; it always faces the inclined circumferential exit surface R2. Its input phase PH1 has optical or reflection control means 29 to direct the average emitted rays 33 from one of the peripheral parts of the reflecting substrate 50 to the opposite peripheral part of the output phase PH2, which represents the beginning of this phase second reflector R2 or part of the reflecting parabola 40 or reflecting surface of similar effect;

[0108] In Fig. 17a, the focal axis 30 is the same as the emission axis E1; Fig. 17b, the focal emission axis is perpendicular to the emission axis E1; In Fig. 17c the focal axis 30 is opposite the emission axis E1;

[0109] In addition, there is a free space 70, which is maintained in all sections; As a feature of the multifunctional device, the circuit interface 20 is assigned to the LED 30: - a circuit with antenna geometry An, (fractal or logarithmic), - a hidden reflector 50 and a hidden source 30. - The Hp housing encloses and protects the luminous surface 3 from extraneous light DI, Li with a protruding spacer profile Dp. - an opaque cover H concealing the reflector 50 and the source 30 to integrate a multifunctional device. An antenna + multifocal light signal transmission radiating forward FS with multiple focal axes through the sectors S1, S2, S3 and rearward along a single focal axis Sr, or by illuminating the surface forward 3a, 3b, 3c, 3n... and rearward 3R.

[0110] Fig. 18a, Fig. 18b, Fig. 18c - Views of different sections in the concept, similar to the Fig. 13, Fig. 14 and Fig. 15 and Fig. 17a, Fig. 17b, Fig. 17c, where the focal axis of the light source E0 is observed in a similar direction, in the same or opposite direction with respect to the emission focal axis E1, but the input phase does not lie on one side, for example, at the edge or part of the circumference of the substrate 50. The reflector 50 is still hidden and the source 30, located in an intermediate region, has input means to perform a perpendicular reflection 29 and R-EX using the method in the concept of Fig. 9. External reflecting parabola; alternatively, it can be replaced by a cone or similar perpendicular reflection effect surface. It can be seen in Figs. 18a and 18b that the emitted light power and thus the luminous surface 3 is doubled, i.e., the circumference 40 or the collimated parabola 40c, therefore it fits into the concept of Fig. 11 as a hidden body perpendicular to the emission axis A and can also be chained with other sectors combining different concepts and properties and forming part of the same reflection body 50 of a DS mixed-signal device with emission sectors and multiple focal axes, capable of developing various shapes in the illumination surface design 3 from lines and integrated geometric perimeter figures.

[0111] In Fig. 18b it can be seen that the cover H has a recess Ad / 70 to form an aerodynamic channel, i.e.

[0112] As variations of the light input path of the source 30, LEDs with perpendicular focal axis optics, or LEDs with "L" mounting, or two LEDs mounted on opposite sides in the insertion support circuit 20 can be inserted into the substrate. at the entrance 29 and its source axis coincides with the main beam axis of the substrate.

[0113] Fig. 19 - View of a section whose concept is similar to that of Fig. 18b, but the light source is an electroluminescent OLED substrate or a multi-chip light strip of light-emitting diodes 36, wherein the substrate carrier 36 also has an integrated antenna geometry An on the other side of the circuit board holder (circuit board).

[0114] Fig. 20a, Fig. 20b - View of a section in concept similar to the Fig. 18b and Fig. 19, but the entire optical body, the hidden reflective substrate 50 and the illumination surface 3, as well as their phases of entry, reflection and distribution of the emitted light, are located behind a transparent cover 1, so that the cover that hides the reflector 50, an opaque cover 2 is capable of having a smaller thickness, or a film capable of occupying a laminar volume 70 and associating at least one antenna circuit An or An1 and An2, thus achieving a technical effect of developing a device for different radio frequencies and an additional advantage reflection of the external scattered light LI.

[0115] Fig. 21 - Front perspective view of a rear-view mirror as an indirect VIS vision system with a DS mixed-signal lighting device. The sectors of the signal emission field are observed with different emission focal axes E1 and the corresponding illumination area, starting at the point closest to the vehicle body 3a / S1; 3b / S2, 3c / S3 for the front signal FR and 3R for the rear signal emission RS. It can be seen that the signaling device is located behind the mirror M1, and the opaque surface 53 of the 80-fold widened frame defines a signaling area of ​​a shadow area in which the driver's eyes are located. In this way, the signal does not affect the view of the images from the mirror M1 or any part of the extended field of view M2.

[0116] Combination of lines and partially closed luminous figures, see sections BB and CC, which uses the concepts described in the previous figures, the cover H, which hides the reflector 50 and the source 30 and is in turn located in the projection Hp, protects against shocks and creates an aerodynamic channeling.

[0117] Fig. 22 - Perspective rear view of a VIS indirect vision system with a rearview mirror M1 and a multifocal mixed-signal device DS, the design and shape features of the housing Hc are observed as a block divided into three vertical thirds T1, T2, T3, where T1 is the third closest part to the CAR body of the vehicle, block T1 starts on a line 0 that coincides with the frame 80 in the area closest to the driver and the body of the vehicle, the frame 80 being wide homogeneous and having an 80-fold widening in the third T3 furthest from the body; - the rear signal output RS arranged externally by means of the luminous surface 3R with a rear focal axis Sr and, - The output of the anti-stress locator 51 is located in the inner widening of the 80x frame with a different focus axis VC aligned with the driver's view DV.

[0118] Starting from the frame in the first third T1, the frame 80 has a vertical line 0 where a protrusion starts in the direction T0 towards the driver's eyes, i.e. aerodynamics and accommodate a warning signal from the blind spot detection system BLIS, Bs, Bs', which uses the same technology and the same concept of the hidden reflector 50 and the peripheral lighting surface 3 with the technical effect of concentrating the signal emission as in Fig. 11; and also has the effect of directing the aerodynamic flow into a channel between the structure and the body of the car.

[0119] On the support 81, an area of ​​an RFID identification reader 54 is observed, which serves as an assistant for identification systems and access keys or the activation of coded functions for the vehicle, connected to an ScS side camera.

[0120] The signaling device DS is arranged behind the mirror M1 and the opaque surface 53 of the widened frame 80x (see Fig. 21) defines a boundary line 00 with a signal area 01 delimited by a shadow area 02 where the driver's eyes are located. In this way, the signal does not affect the view of the images from the mirror M1 or part of the extended field of view M2). Furthermore, the light output part of the anti-stress localization device of the mirror M1 is an independent lighting surface 51 that occupies an opening 4p in the widening of the frame 80x, which provides an opaque area 53 surrounding the witness light output 51 to increase it. In contrast, the technical effect of automatically facilitating the positioning of the mirror M1 or M2, thus generating intuitive behavior in anti-stress mode. The sensor and an ScS side camera are characterized by the recognition function and access via RFID key on the support 81 attached to the body.

[0121] Fig. 23 BB - Vertical section BB of the arrangement of the indirect vision system through mirror M1 according to Fig. 21, a concept of the hidden reflector 50 and the light source 30 hidden by the cover H, similar to the concept Fig. 18c, it is observed that the front signal FS is characteristically located in the horizontal plane FSx behind the mirror M1, as indicated by the position arrows, between an upper and a lower horizontal tangent tgs and tgi. It also features a substrate volume 70 between the opaque cover H, which can integrate other devices, and the transparent output surface 3, which faces the peripheral reflector 40, while the source 30 and the reflector 50 are hidden.

[0122] One can see the triple function of housing Hc and cover H, which is linked to the signal as the profile Ha progresses; - aerodynamic, forms the side channel Ch3 for the air outlet A3. - HP shock protection, - Protection from external light LI.

[0123] Fig. 24 CC - Horizontal section CC of the indirect mirror vision system assembly M1 according to Fig. 21, the hidden reflective substrate 50 can be seen arranged behind the opaque cover H, its concatenated sectors forming part of the same reflector 50, interface circuit 20 of the light source, the spaced emitters 30 corresponding to each sector S1, S2, S3 and 30R for Sr, and their corresponding optical light entry means 29.Marks the emission focal axis E1 of the front signaling device FS, positioned horizontally behind the mirror M1 according to the position arrows FSx, and the driver's visual point DV located in the shadow area 02, in order to develop the vision of the mirror Vm starting from the differentiated limit 00 of the signaling area, but with a view of the anti-stress locating signal 51 through a focal axis VC of the light source 30R of the signal DS in its rear sector RS, the window 51 is surrounded by an opaque surface part 53 of the frame widened 80 times and has the technical effect of creating an intuitive anti-stress assistance behavior for easily locating the M1 mirror.

[0124] It shows the extension of the substrate volume 70 between the opaque cover H and the hidden reflector 50, which occupies the part of the front sectors S1, S2, S3 and coincides with the volume of the front emission region FS, which allows a printed 20 antenna circuit.

[0125] The reflective substrate 50 and the source are hidden behind the independent opaque cover Hi and protected from the incidence of external light.

[0126] Fig. 25 - Optical body of the mixed signal DS, consisting of the hidden reflective substrate 50 and the illumination surface 3 emitting signals along different focal axes. Considering the sectors of the reflector 50 interlinked with interference zones 40i, sector S1 stands out because its entire perimeter has a luminous surface, unlike sectors S2 and S3, where part of its perimeter is a parabola of internal reflection 40r, and the opposite side is the perimeter and an exit surface.

[0127] The illumination surface 3 is linear and always faces the exit peripheral surface R2. The rear signal sector 3R emits the rear signal RS, a light guide with a second independent light output 51 that serves as an anti-stress locator. Of particular note are the beams emitted by different reflection transmission methods: direct E1d, reflected E1r, and combined E1c, which are always horizontal.

[0128] In order to prevent the escape of internal light, the parabolic reflectors 50 are provided with a cover, a varnish or a layer of a reflection-promoting material 41, a film or a reflective varnish as part of the industrialization method.

[0129] Fig. 26 - Explosion of the mixed-signal device DS with the reflector 50 hidden by an opaque cover H, its circuit interface 20 containing temperature-dissipating conductors 20t and conductors on the opposite side of the PCB circuit acting as an antenna 20An, and the inner cover 10 to prevent the leakage of internal light and to facilitate the attachment 17 and connections of the dust bag and the lights 21, 22.

[0130] Fig. 27 - Exploded view of the entire indirect vision system VIS through mirrors M1 with mixed-signal device DS, blind spot and lane change warning system Bs, as well as RFID 54 identification detector and ScS security camera on the support 81. In addition to Mo actuators, rotary motors 86 and cables 87, the connector inside the vehicle for a USB port 75 or SIM card protrudes, a part of the split-in-two interface of the GPS or Bluetooth positioning system or associated antennas located on the DS signaling device. And also the access keypad module 73, the RFID recognition module and the remotely monitored ScS side security camera located on the support 81.

[0131] Fig. 28 - Detail from Fig. 24 CC, when the optical means of the reverse signal RS is a light guide having an illumination surface 3R; as an application and solution example, the light source axis 30R is perpendicular to the rear emission focal axis Sr, it has a parabolic or similar sub-reflector 42, 40', which is an intermediate perforation to create an internal reflection surface, also prone to wear a cover or paint that promotes reflection. It has a higher protrusion of the Hp cover as a protection solution for the transparent body against impacts and the anti-stress locating light performance of the M1 mirror, coupled with the complex optical body of the reflector 50 and the DV driver's view.

[0132] Fig. 29 - Detail of Fig. 24 CC, when the optical means of the backward signal RS is a light guide having an illumination surface 3R as another application and solution example, the light source axis 30R is similar to the rear emission focal axis Sr , has optical control means 29.

[0133] Fig. 30a - Detail of Fig. 24 CC, as another example of application and solution, the optical means of the backward signal RS, NO light guide, has an illumination surface 3R with a hollow area below and with the emission axis Since the light source 30R is perpendicular to the focal axis Sr of the rear emission, a counter-reflector 50' stands out, which has a reflecting parabola 40' in front of the focal axis of the light source 30R, and the reflector 50 becomes an outer transparent cover 1'.

[0134] Fig. 30b - Detail of Fig. 24 CC, as another example of application and solution, the optical means of the backward signal RS, NO light guide, presents an illumination surface 3R with a hollow area underneath and when the emission axis of the light source 30R is similar to the rear emission focal axis Sr, it has an inner cover Hi covering the circuit 20b and the source 30R, with back reflection correction means 43, and the reflector 50 becomes an outer transparent cover.

[0135] As another application and solution example, it is observed that "NO" has an anti-stress locating light output through an independent illumination surface 51, and the eyes of the driver DV observe a part of the illumination surface 3R of the rear emission part RS. The device signal causes a similar anti-stress locating effect to the M1 mirror, but it is a parasitic and invasive signal that affects the DV driver's field of vision and should be kept at a low level of regulated intensity. This is dangerous on rainy days. Complete darkness or fog can disturb and dazzle the driver when looking into the M1 mirror.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SOME IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLES.

[0177] To understand how the present invention may best be carried out, we illustrate and explain the following embodiments.

[0178] The structure of the indirect vision system VIS occupies a position projected into the vacuum on the side of a vehicle. It consists of a housing H, Hc, a housing frame 80, 80x and a support arm 81. This position allows the mounting of seeing devices (mirrors, cameras) and being seen (light signals, auxiliary lights, projectors) and also to be heard through a buzzer or loudspeaker 58, and together with associated light-emitting devices, signals and sensors in the same structure or in parts of the periphery The front, sides and rear of the vehicle forms a system for seeing and being seen in 360 ° degrees, but has the disadvantage of being exposed to the incidence of external light, shocks and advancing air flow, which causes turbulence, noise and contamination of the mirror or camera. Fig. 1-3.

[0179] We also introduce features in this patent that help you see where and when you can see and be seen, and also be better seen in all ambient light and weather conditions.

[0180] We first explain the basic characteristics of the DS multifocal device with hidden reflector 50, which concerns the VIS system, the concept and characteristics of the reflector, to define the design versions of the product as a system. Indirect vision VIS through mirrors or cameras (front ScF, rear-side ScR, side vehicle access ScS) with flashing signal, which, as an innovation, can include a multitude of features and advantages.

[0181] The signaling device DS performs one of its functions as a flashing signal, it is characterized by having a hidden reflector 50 associated with a light source and is part of an indirect vision system VIS comprising and connected to a structure which is a housing H. Hc and a support base 81 which fixes it to the side of the CAR body of a vehicle. Fig. 1.

[0182] We know the principle of a parabola as a reflecting surface applied to a lamp, Fig. 7 and its parts, a directrix D, the parabolic curve 40 according to the function (Y=nX2), the focus F, the radii R and an axis of rotation A, its characteristic consists in that the distance FP from the focal point F to a point P on the parabolic curve 40 is equal to the distance from this point P to the directrix D, P-P', (FP=PP') and that the rays R emitted by the focus F are reflected as internal reflection R-IN in the parabola 40 in a direction parallel to the axis A, as light E1 emitted by a total illuminating surface 3f.

[0183] We know the properties of a parabolic mirror attached to a Newtonian telescope or a satellite antenna, Fig. 7, which illustrates the reverse effect, where the parabola 40, acting as a reflector, and its variants collect all the rays of external ambient light DL as parasitic incident light LI and reflect them toward the focus F, where the light source is located. Therefore, when the reflector is exposed through its transparent surfaces, parasitic internal reflections are generated. This example, when applied to a signaling device, results in the intensity of the received light being compensated for by the radiated signal and the signal perception on the luminous surface 3f being diminished or canceled.

[0184] The basic concept of the hidden reflector 50 of the invention concerns the boundary between two tangential reflection surfaces 5 and 6, Fig. 8, Fig. 13, Fig. 14 and Fig. 15, with a distance defining a thickness T of the total light emitted by a light source 30 and carrying the concept of a parabolic reflector 40 occupying a 3D volume, that is, it approximates a flattened substrate 50 to a 2D concept, thus concentrating all the light E0 emitted by a source 30 at the focus F. Therefore, a flattened substrate 50 with the shape of a reflecting parabola 40 is defined, on the one hand, as a parabolic circumferential reflector and, on the other hand, as having a light output phase through a minimum illumination surface 3 that concentrates the emitted light E1 into concentrated emitted light E1c. This surface corresponds to the edge of the substrate 50.

[0185] This substrate has a short-throw main beam axis 33, parallel to the axis of the parabola A and perpendicular to the illumination surface 3. By assembling several substrates together, we obtain an elongated reflective main substrate 50 in the shape of a band with a width of approximately 1 cm. This provides at least one beam axis 33 for each light incidence propagating transversely to the reflective band or substrate 50, and we obtain a linear illumination surface 3 with a minimum width and a high concentration of emitted light E1c. By crossing a secondary inclined reflection surface R2 / 45° on the illumination surface 3 to cause a change in direction and adding an extended profile part PH2, we create a second phase of light emission and obtain an "L" shape that allows us to position B.the reflective main substrate 50 parallel to an opaque cover H, Hi, then the substrate 50 and the source are hidden, occupy a minimum of internal volume and are free from external incident light LI.

[0186] The extended profile PH2 has a horizontal emission axis 34 which coincides with the horizontal photometric axis of a signal applied to a car for a lateral signaling device and the signal emission is able to emit a horizontal reference focal axis E1 which then emits the directions taken by the H Depending on the version, the housing has different horizontal focal axes.

[0187] We then define a vertical section in the shape of an “L”, where the larger side is the main reflective substrate 50 and the smaller side is the advanced profile PH2, which ends in the illumination surface 3, through which it emits the horizontal signal with the beam-axis E1. Fig. 1, 13-16.

[0188] The reflective substrate 50 is arranged inside a housing H that functions as an opaque cover. The reflective substrate is connected to a light source 20, 30 and has an internal position according to a reference plane P1, like a second skin, which may have an interruption R2. Therefore, its position lies between parallel and perpendicular within the cover H that contains and conceals it. At the same time, the advanced optically reflective profile of the output phase PH2 is represented by a reference plane P2 and an axis-horizontal reference beam 34.coincides with the horizontal emission axis E1; In this way, the possibility of ambient light DL being incident as external stray light LI is eliminated and, in addition, reduced and combined with the concentration of the light emitted from the edge, the illumination surface 3 is able to emit light with the maximum concentration E1c, since the main beam axis 33 and the associated axis are directly or perpendicularly reflected incident on the illumination surface 3 with a short path to improve the perception of the signal emitted on the horizontal focal axis E1.

[0189] The Parable 40, Fig. 9, has internal points IN and external points EX, and we use reflection means based on an external or internal parabolic reflector for different parts of the reflecting substrate. They can be considered as an external reflector R-EX and shifted part of this curve 40 to obtain a reflector or subreflector R-EX' / SuR capable of deflecting the rays E1 from the focal axis of a source 30=F in the perpendicular direction E2 or E2', using the characteristics and type of reflector. The coupling 29 of a light source 30 is used to deflect the beam from the focal axis of the source E0 perpendicularly (angle â = 90°) towards an internal reference axis represented by the mean ray vector 33 transmitted transversely inside the reflecting substrate 50 and represents the set of rays joined and reflected by internal means. Fig. 10a, Fig. 10b, Fig. 12; The concept is applied when the light entry 29 occurs through the central zone of a reflective substrate 50 and in particular when the reflective substrate 50 is parallel to the cover H which conceals it and its periphery comprises means for making a break in the substrate to introduce a phase perpendicular reflection PH2 with an approximate reflection surface of 45°, R2 / 45° Fig. 11, 18a, 18b, 18c, 20b; 23-26 or even with a light source 36 which is a multichip LED substrate or an OLED 36, Fig. 19, Fig. 20b,

[0190] The complex optical body is described in vertical section as a two-part form: A - Part of the tangentially reflecting main substrate 50 and the associated source 20, 30, hidden. B- Part of the secondary reflector PH2 with extended profile, R2 exit and illumination area 3, visible perimeter.

[0191] The tangentially reflecting main substrate 50, hidden from the signal DS, has the shape of a flattened elongated band with an internal reference beam axis 33 in the transverse direction and is intersected at its perimeter or in any central zone by an inclined reflecting surface R2. That is, the peripheral light exit reflector R2 or secondary reflector, an inclined reflecting surface comprising any type of reflector to change the direction of the beam axis 33 to another beam axis 34 and normally provided with an extended short-range profile PH2 narrowing the light concentration, which generates the final horizontal beam axis emission E1 and its diffuse beam axis variants E2G or concentrated E1c.

[0192] For a better understanding, the changes in direction on the substrate reflector 50 and the extended profile PH2 are represented by two planes P1 and P2.

[0193] The reflective substrate 50 (plane P1) is able to position itself with respect to the cover H, Hc, Hi, allowing it to be positioned between parallel and perpendicular, i.e.

[0194] Normally, the planes P1 and P2, which represent the positions of the reflective substrate 50 and the output of the advanced phase profile PH2, are perpendicular to each other and define an "L"-shaped section.

[0195] Typically, the reflective substrate 50 and the plane P1 are parallel to the housing cover H, and the extended profile PH2 and the plane P2 are perpendicular to the housing cover H.

[0196] For an application example, the reflective substrate 50 is perpendicular to the cover of the housing H, the planes P1 and P2 coincide, they are the same plane, and the reflective substrate 50 and the extended profile PH2 become one with a tapering phase of the light output, but without the inclined surface of the output reflection. Fig. 33, Fig. 34, Fig. 53, Fig. 54.

[0197] The change in direction due to internal reflection occurs at the nodal point representing the inclined surface R2 or the peripheral secondary reflector, which relates the position of the reflective substrate 50 with respect to the extended profile PH2 and is variable between 0° and 90° depending on the position of the reflector profile 50, the H-cover, and the PH2 profile; and allows for obtaining, for each sector S1, S2, S3, Sn, Sr, a final horizontal emission E1 coincident with the beam axis. This is more homogeneous and concentrated per sector, dividing areas of light from one sector and another, combined without defined boundaries between sectors on the illumination surface 3.

[0198] As a further embodiment, the multifocal polyfunctional signaling device DS has an additional transparent cover 1 over the illumination surface 3, forming a closed multifunctional DS signaling module consisting of an inner cover 10 with an anti-condensation valve 11 and the light source circuit 20, the reflective substrate 50 and an independent opaque Hi-cover or cover (since the Hi-cover is not external or subject to shocks, it can be replaced by an opaque or semi-opaque film or film with the same technical effect as covering the reflector 50 and the associated source.

[0199] In such a multifunctional closed signal module DS, the extended PH2 profile is not developed or does not exist, the light power is only sufficient to root the independent opaque cover or cover Hi or to apply a cover, paint, fabric or film that obscures the reflective substrate 50, the horizontal emission E1 is generated by the light emitted by the reflective perimeter R2, which has the required curvature to define a horizontal beam axis E1. Fig. 20a, Fig. 20b, Fig. 45, Fig. 46, Fig. 50.

[0200] For another embodiment, the reflective substrate 50, positioned perpendicular to the opaque cover H that conceals it, or at the edge, occupies a deep space within the housing that contains it. It covers part of the linear luminous surface designs 3. Fig. 33, Fig. 34, Fig. 53, Fig. 54.

[0201] For another embodiment, the substrate 50 assumes a parallel position as a second inner skin (and covers most applications with larger options for illuminating surface designs 3) to the opaque cover H or Hi that conceals it, and then applies a break R2 through a peripheral surface as a second reflection means to define a second part of the extended profile, which is the output part PH2 or the light emission E1. Fig.Figures 13 and 14, 13-20, comprise an internal reflector R-IN conforming to a different parabolic curve 40 than the second reflector R2, or alternatively a reflecting surface of similar effect inclined at approximately 45° to substantially modify the light of the reference axis 33 product of tangentially reflected light 32t to obtain a horizontal emission beam E1 as the focal axis, in order to meet the official signal requirements of Regulation R6, ECE / UN or similar for the USA and Japan for signalling equipment.

[0202] Note (to simplify the graphic, throughout the document we represent the emitted light transmitted with vectors that we call rays or axis rays E0, E1, E2, E1r, E1c, Sr).

[0203] A vertical section of the VIS system allows us to observe in concept the position of the reflective substrate 50 with respect to the housing H that hides it, Fig. 15, Fig. 16 remain substantially parallel and at a distance from the opaque envelope of the body H containing them and protected from the incidence of external scattered light DL LI, at the same time the occupied internal volume is reduced by a progressive fracture of the substrate 50, the advanced profile PH2 of approximately 90° by means of an inclined peripheral reflecting surface R2 at approximately 45°, denoted R2 / 45°, the separation defines a volume 70 which is a free volume substrate between the reflective substrate 50 and the opaque cover H, independent Hi, suitable for accommodating further functional devices.

[0204] The free volume 70 allows the signaling device DS to be configured multifunctionally, starting from the same lighting surface and / or from the free internal volume 70 connected to other devices, for example an antenna An, under the cover Hi.

[0205] For each embodiment in vertical section, this fracture R2 of the reflector 50 of the multifunctional signaling device DS creates two new tangential reflection surfaces 7 and 8 defining an extended profile PH2, which in width represents a shorter reflective initial substrate main reflector 50 (the short part of the "L"), which may have a widening or narrowing with respect to the thickness T of the reflective substrate 50, which is normally less than 10 mm (< 10 mm.) between the tangential reflection surfaces 5 and 6, so that a luminous surface 3 in the form of a luminous band of variable width is possible, combinable with: - A constriction to concentrate the emission light E1, E1c. The advanced optical reflector profile acts as a tangentially reflecting substrate of the output phase PH2 and concentrates the light of the reference axis 34 into emitted light E1, E1c, which is always horizontal. It creates the light concentration based on a narrowing of the thickness between the two tangential reflection surfaces 7 and 8, which allows the light to be concentrated on the illumination surface 3, forming the thickness difference between the light entrance thickness distance L2, which decreases towards a smaller output thickness L1, that is, a thickness L2 greater than L1, L2>L1 and creates an emission E1c of concentrated light, creating an illumination surface 3 which normally has a width of less than 10mm (<10mm). Fig. 13-18.

[0206] This difference between L1 and L2, which causes the narrowing, is independent of the fixation edges that the luminous surface may have; these are not taken into account. - A widening for scattering the emission light, wherein the profile advanced as the output reflection substrate PH2 forms a thickness constriction between the two tangential reflection surfaces 7 and 8 with respect to the thickness T of the surfaces 5 and 6 of the reflective substrate 50, represented in the output phase PH2, by the difference between the distance between the light input base L2, which widens and increases towards the output L1, i.e. L2 smaller than L1, L2 < L1, and produces a deconcentrated, diffuse, or lower-intensity emission on the illumination surface 3 with a width greater than 10 mm (>10 mm). - An illumination surface 3 in the form of a luminous band has a variable width, which may or may not be combinable, and is capable of maintaining a homogeneous linear width, its width decreasing or increasing along its path with respect to the distance-thickness difference L2, L1 of its initial phase PH2. Without limitation, this width increases for areas of preferably diffuse emission E1, E1G or with a pattern with a width greater than > 10 mm and decreases for other areas of preferably concentrated intensity emission E1c, in this case the illumination surface 3 comprises a width between 10 mm and can cover a capillary linear width of up to 1 mm. Fig. 8, 10a, 10b, 11, 13-16, 23, 34, 43, 44, 53.

[0207] To understand the linear conceptual development of the lighting surface 3. On the vertical section in Fig. 16, an extrusion is applied according to a guideline 35 to form, in an integral of sections, a true solid 3D device and a linear lighting surface 3; Depending on the extent of this guideline, the shape and configuration covered by the lighting surface 3 may include a variety of curved, straight, circumferential, open, closed, partial, complete, regular, irregular shapes, or a combination of these shapes, visible from the outside through at least one external opening 3p on the opaque cover of the housing H containing it. These shapes are not visible to the driver of the DV vehicle in his driving position. Fig. 14-16, 21, 47.

[0208] Aperture of the illumination area 3 and associated cover. The aperture 3p, which occupies the illumination area 3, is linear and variable.

[0209] It is a shared opening with 3 lighting surfaces + independent cover Hi; normally, it is the opening occupied by lighting surface 3 that is associated with the independent cover Hi.

[0210] For all embodiments it is configurable, selectable between; - is the gap of its scope or part of it, - is included in the scope of delivery and surrounded by the aforementioned Hi-Cover, - surrounded by the housing surface H, - There are several openings when there are several geometric figures, with flush parts Hn separating said housing H and at the same time covering the reflector 50, while several independent covers Hi, a, b, c cover simultaneously the reflector 50 and the source, Fig. 41.

[0211] The “NO” illuminated area, like all indicators, is a band, it is the perfection of a complex optical body, the edge of an advanced PH2 profile, it is a luminous line.

[0212] The opening 3p occupied by the illumination surface 3 is a linear gap 3p between an independent cover Hi and the rest of the housing when it is a circumferential figure or a part thereof in the form of a circumferential figure.

[0213] The opening 3p, which occupies the luminous surface 3, is a continuous or interrupted linear gap 3p in the housing cover H.

[0214] The opening 3p is occupied by the sum of the areas 3 and the area of ​​the independent cover Hi.

[0215] In one embodiment, the illumination area 3 is the perimeter of a regular or irregular geometric figure occupying the gap between the cover Hi and the rest of the housing H. The shape of the gap is the opening 3p, which has the shape of a perimeter figure, at least partially, and allows the illumination area 3 to occupy at least 10% of the perimeter of the independent cover Hi with respect to the independent cover Hi. Fig. 18a, Fig. 18b, Fig. 21, Fig. 23, Fig. 27, Fig. 35, Fig. 37, Fig. 41, Fig. 45, Fig. 49, Fig. 51.

[0216] If the illumination surface is a circumferential figure or two separate lines, a vertical section represents an elongated "U", where the base is the main reflective substrate 50 with its associated source and the upward projections are the advanced profiles Ph2 terminating in the illumination surface circumference 3. The cover would conceal the base, the reflective substrate 50 and the source.

[0217] For all embodiments, the outer opening 3p occupied by the illumination area 3 corresponds to the sum of the illumination area 3 and the associated cover Hi, regardless of whether the housing H can form a module with the multifunctional signaling device DS or not. It occupies at least a gap part of its circumference or is contained in at least one further opening 3p within the circumference of the cover Hi in an intermediate part of the independent cover Hi.

[0218] As a further embodiment, the multifunctional signaling device DS with a further luminous surface has, in addition to the outer opening(s) 3p of the cover Hi assigned to the outer luminous surface 3, a further inner opening 4p for a further signal output and luminous surface. It fulfills a further function, the anti-stress locator 51, independently of external functions.

[0219] In another embodiment, the illumination surface 3 may correspond to one or more sectors of the reflective substrate. The size of the illumination surface 3 makes it necessary to maintain efficiency and light intensity, thus replicating and integrating the shape of parabolic reflectors. Forming a reflective substrate 50 by sectors in the form of a transparent solid band, each sector responding to these characteristics; - has at least one light source input. - The light entry has optical means or reflection means 29 which preferably cause a change of direction of 90° when it enters through one of its limiting surfaces 5 or 6, in order to direct the light from the focal axis of the source E0 in a direction coinciding with the median axis reference transmission reflection 33 inside the flattened substrate 50 and in a given direction including a radial direction, omnidirectional or directed towards at least a part of its periphery corresponding to an illuminating light exit surface 3. - The reference axis 33 runs transversely to the shape of the reflective substrate 50 and perpendicular to the illumination surface 3 or to the light exit peripheral reflector R2. - The interior light is reflected tangentially 32t between two surfaces 5 and 6 or 7 and 8. - The interior light is reflected on the one hand in a parabolic circumference 40 or with a similar effect to generate associated rays with a similar effect to the transverse reference axis 33 - The reference axis 33 is directed to a light output phase PH2 starting at a fracture in the substrate, a product of the inclined surface or the peripheral secondary reflector R2 of the substrate 50 to obtain the signal light E1 emitted from an illumination surface 3.

[0220] The reflective substrate 50 is capable of substantially copying the shape of the interior of the housing that contains it, as a transparent optical body capable of transmitting and reflecting light internally in the shape of a curved, convex, preferably elongated substrate, such as a strip. Said tangential reflection surfaces 5 and 6, or 7 and 8, are surfaces that maintain their position substantially parallel to one another, forming an extrados and an intrados.

[0221] The hidden reflector substrate body 50 comprises a series of light emitters 30, 31 (LEDs, OLEDs) forming the light source, installed in their respective support circuit 20, 20b and coupled to the reflector at light entry points 29, which has at least one for each sector S1, S2, S3, Sn, the entry points 29 having optical control and first reflection means comprising a parabolic reflector PH1 Fig. 15 or a surface with similar effect with the to orient the transmission of the source axis E0 in a particular direction, comprising a transverse internal reference axis 33 with a preferably vertical transverse direction, which is transmitted and runs along the width of the reflective substrate 50 on the shortest path (as opposed to a light guide 150). , 234 Fig. 4-6, which has an elongated tubular shape, the reference axis is transmitted longitudinally, i.e. along the longest path from one end to the other),

[0222] The reflective substrate 50 comprises the creation of a light exit interruption in a part of its periphery or an inclined surface as a reflective periphery, preferably formed by a second parabola PH2, R2 capable of reflecting at 45°, R2 / 45°; the reference axis 33 is incident perpendicularly to the reflective periphery R2, which becomes an output beam axis 34 preceding the horizontal signal emission reference axis E1 and corresponding to a portion of the illumination surface 3 through which the light is emitted outwardly E1. Fig. 25, Fig. 26, Fig. 27, Fig. 37, Fig. 49.

[0223] The vertical path through transmission reflection of the light within the reflective substrate 50 comprises three technical phases: A - A first coupling phase 29, B - A transverse transmission-reflection phase 50 hidden from external view and the incidence of ambient light DL, Li and. C - A third phase of output or emission E1 by a luminous surface 3.

[0224] The characteristic concept of the reflector substrate 50 and the advanced optical reflector profile apply combined optically reflective correction means of the reflection of the substrate 50, which can be selected from; - smooth and polished surfaces 5 and 6 as a means of tangential reflection, - the inner parabola 40 of a part of the circumference of the reflecting substrate, - the parabolic collimators extended by 40', 40c, - the inner covers 10 are at least partially dark or black in color to create an external effect on the luminous surface 3 which is perceived as dark or black in the resting state - Paint or coating on the surfaces of the reflective substrate to facilitate reflection and prevent light leakage 41, - Gaps 42 creating intermediate surfaces in the substrate 50 to create internal reflection surfaces, retroreflection, SuR subreflectors or etched surfaces to generate diffuse light G and diffuse reflections. Fig. 10a, Fig. 10b, Fig. 14, Fig. 37, Fig. 50, Fig. 54.

[0225] The combination of these reflective optical means generates direct light beams E1d or reflected E1r, associated with the main reference beam axis 33, with the technical effect of modulating the light homogeneously or heterogeneously on the illuminated surface, as a design option, and determined by studies conducted in a flash start simulator program.

[0226] SOURCE FOCAL AXIS E0 versus EMISSION AXIS E1. For various embodiments. The reflective substrate 50 combines the position of the source focal axis E0, the source circuit 20, 20b, and the horizontal emission focal axis for each horizontal emission focal axis S1, S2, S3, Sn, Sr.

[0227] The source axis E0, in its entry phase into the reflector 50, is able to position itself between 0° and 180° with respect to the emission focal axis E1, which is always horizontal for the emissions of the front zone FS, horizontal axes S1, S2, S3, Sn or the rear zone RS horizontal axis Sr. and has: A- The light entry means 29 according to their position on one of the boundary surfaces 5 or 6, at the edge on their circumference (central area or on the circumference), B - The direction of the focal axis of the emitter E0a, E0b, E0c, E0 of the LED source, OLED 30, which can be; - same direction as the focal axis of the signal emission E1, Fig. 15, Fig. 17a, 18b, 18c, 19, 34, 54. - perpendicular to the focal axis of the signal emission E1, Fig. 17b. - inverse to the focal axis of the signal emission E1, Fig. 17c, Fig. 18a. C - The position of the reflective substrate 50, coinciding with the reflection-transmission reference axis 33, defines that its flattened band shape can have a position between perpendicular (association by the edge) and parallel (association by one of its boundary surfaces 5 or 6), that is, between 0° and 90°, with respect to an association intersection point of the opaque cover H, Hc that conceals it. D - Internal released volume in the form of the substrate 70. When the position of the substrate 50 is substantially parallel to the surface of the cover H that hides it, the signaling device DS is able to create an internal volume 70 between the surface of the housing that covers it H and the reflective substrate 50. Fig. 16-20a, 23, 24.

[0228] The released volume 70 is capable of accommodating another associated functional element, which may include multiple functions to become a polyfunctional module. 55-59b, with selectable functions; - an antenna An on a printed circuit board (PCB), which is even part of the same circuit 20 of the light source, Fig. 38, Fig. 40, Fig. 42. - a temperature sensor 55,

[0229] The multifunctional signaling device DS also mixes functions with the same illumination area 3 by changing the color and / or activation frequency and combining different activation zones, these zones being delimited by a transmittance difference 28 in the reflective substrate 50 of more than . One light input 29a, 29b in each reflective substrate sector 50 uses LEDs of different wavelengths or RGB LEDs to emit a beam E1d, and another light input 29a, 29b of a different color E2d, in the same area or between both signaling areas. Different FS at the front and RS at the rear. - a second or third lighting or signaling function, with the same luminous surface 3 it is able to change the light color and different applications (emergency light, special vehicles, police (blue), fire brigade (red), taxis (green) ambulances, (red, blue or white) use different LEDs or RGB LEDs with a controller 21, 22 capable of emitting at different wavelengths from 400 to 750 manometers, 30a, 30b.

The same DS device is capable of performing another independent function such as BLIS, an alternative warning for detecting the presence of blind spots, using the same complex optical reflector body that separates the front signal zone FS from the rear signal zones RS, which are connected to the anti-stress locator 51. It includes the permeability cutoff 28, a circuit with a cutoff interface to activate the independent part on a different frequency and associate the activation with the BLIS system and the RZ radars. - a second or third lighting or signaling function, by incorporating a further signaling device DS2 with a different luminous surface 1' and reference focal axes E2, a complementary infrared light 66, an auxiliary light for night vision of a front camera ScF, an auxiliary light for slow maneuvering, parking, angling, angling light, SS side position light with lateral focal axis E2, Fig. 51, 52, 53-55. - a ScF front camera specifically designed to capture images of the wheel opposite the rider's DV.

E - Position of the reflective substrate 50 with respect to the illumination surface 3.

[0231] The luminous surface 3 is the sum of integrated reflective substrates 50, which can take on different shapes, designs and variable widths; in the several embodiments, it influences the side on which the reflective sectors 50 are located.

[0232] The reflective substrate 50 consists of several integrated reflective substrates in which at least a part of its signal output reflecting perimeter R2 coincides with the illumination surface 3 and, depending on the design, has a position with respect to the illumination surface 3 that can be combined between: - to the same side if the surface 3 is a straight line, two lines, a line and an associated circumference figure, a line and a curve enclosing part of a circumference, Fig. 21, 26, 27, 35, 37, 41-46, 49-52. - on different sides, if surface 3 is a curve and a counter-curve, separate surface sectors in unevenness, several separate circumference figures, Fig. 39, Fig. 40, Fig. 47, Fig. 48. - at least partially enclosed if surface 3 is a partially or completely closed geometric figure, two parallel lines or a combination of figure and lines. Fig. 35, Fig. 36 (applies to BLIS Bs), 35, 36, 37, 41, 43, 45, 46, 49-51.

[0233] As a further embodiment, the multifunctional signaling device DS has on its front part FS an at least partially closed, circumferential linear illumination surface 3 in the form of a geometric figure, several independent luminous lines, circumferential figures and discontinuous luminous sectors, or two substantially parallel lines, connected to an opaque cover Hi, independent of the housing H, the cover creates a darkening effect on the reflective substrate 50, which remains hidden except for its periphery comprising the illumination surface.

[0238] F- Integrated optical reflector body. In all embodiments, the source axis 30R, 31, which generates the return signal, is positioned between 0° and 90° with respect to the horizontal reference focal axis Sr of the return emission.

[0239] When the source axis is not aligned with the emission focal axis Sr, it comprises characteristic upstream reflecting means forming an integrated optical reflector body 50, 50' which supplies a signal to the front part FS and forms with the rear part an integrated optical body signal part RS with optical-reflecting means generating the selectable horizontal backward reference axis Sr;

[0240] (Sr covers an illuminated field with a minimum angle between -5° and 60° relative to the rotational axis of the vehicle 100 and, together with the front signal part FS, comprises the entire signal area 01 Fig. 1, regardless of the design of the front part FS, optical reflecting techniques are used for the rear emission part RS with optical means that give the signal continuity in the horizontal field of the external signal 01), - a reflective substrate 50' with gaps forming a parabolic subreflector 42. - a reflection surface 43 arranged in front of the source axis, - a 30R emission LED, 31 direct emission or reflected, - a prism 40' or an associated cover with a metallized reflection surface 40' in front, - an external or internal light guide 50' to the LEDs 31, 30R, Fig. 28-32,

Therefore, by assigning the front part FS to the rear part RS, the multifocal mixed signal DS preferably has a two-part circuit that can be adapted to the light source board 20 with LEDs 30 for the front signal FS, to which another board 20b with LED 31 is assigned or 30R for the rear signal part RS, which is connected by a flexible cable 24 or an adaptable part.

[0244] The distance variation is a solution and an advantage of saving development costs, the interface of the dynamic activation chip 21, 22 and the references, increasing reliability and the possibility of using it in different models of signaling devices and even for the left and right side or even replacing the rear circuit board part 20b with another one with greater luminous intensity for industrial vehicles with higher photometry requirements.

[0245] The circuit board 20 is preferably made of rigid or rigid, flexible or partially flexible material, fiberglass or polyester, which can adapt to the curvature of the reflective substrate 50, although the light entry points 29 can vary in their radius R or distance Ra in different lengths in order to compensate for the curvature of the light source circle 20 in the light input phase PH1 and minimize the curvature of the circle.

[0248] ANTENNAS AND ASSOCIATED OPERATION. The position of the VIS system and its structure, projected into a vacuum and away from the metallic part of the car body and large sheet metal surfaces, favors the reception and emission of radio-frequency waves and occurs without interference.

Furthermore, this impression of metal tracks serving as an antenna is capable of fulfilling a third function as a 20t metal layer suitable for dissipating the temperature of the LED chip of the source or antenna amplifier. To enhance this dissipation function, various parts of the printed circuit board feature metallized heat dissipation perforations that connect the LED solder pins and their associated anode and cathode traces to the metal tracks of the other side of the circuit 20, which also has a different geometry.

[0262] 6 - Provide a projection area Hp with a height above the luminous surface 3, in particular in the rear signaling part RS near the third third T3, to avoid impacts and scratches. Furthermore, the area Hp of the part of the structure is the area furthest from the body of the outgoing vehicle and may include a part made of another material, composite or bimaterial, with an elastomeric covering made of a plastic or rubber compound, or even with air content in cavities, which may contain sponges or bubbles to absorb shocks with a Shore or Rockwell hardness, depending on the material, and cushion the impacts.

[0264] 8 - Have a Hd plane zone defining a distance between the luminous surface 3, 3R and the rest of the housing H, particularly in the third T3, at the outermost end of the vehicle body, to avoid impacts and scratches or separating parts of the luminous surface when it consists of separate sectors. All figures.

[0265] For all examples. The mounting method supports: - Fasteners are located on the reflective substrate 50, penetrating the substrate 50 in areas where the loss of light transmission is negligible. 33 are applicable for fastening the cover, the cover Hi when included in a peripheral cable of the circuit interface, the source 20, or another function, ultrasonic welding edges, adhesive joints, elastomer profiles, clips, screws, and profiles that leave the reflective surfaces without affecting the final result of the light emission. - An inner cover 10 for the interface of the source circuit 20, 20b of the antenna An, comprises various fastening means 17 by screws or clamps 14, elastomer edges 14e, with a support area for the terminals 15 and a valve to prevent condensation 11 ; depending on the version, fastening to the chassis 18 or to the housing cover H is possible, figures 16, 20a, 20b, 23, 24, 26, 27, 34, 44, 46.

[0266] This cover 10 serves to form the multifunctional signal assembly DS as an integrated unit, to attach it to the reflective substrate 50, to promote internal reflection therein, and to prevent internal light leakage from the VIS system. Its attachment to the reflective substrate 50 is preferably achieved by ultrasonic welding or gluing. If it is not possible to cover the entire reflector 50, the signaling device can be provided with a cover 41.

[0268] PROTECTION AND AERODYNAMICS. For all embodiments, we define the housing structure H of the VIS system as a design form expressly developed, configured, and assigned to enhance the functions of the DS signaling device, in addition to the shock protection functions Hp. It is positioned at a distance above the transparent illumination surface 3 and is capable of developing 4 combined functions: aerodynamics, protection against the incidence of external light LI, which transforms into reflected or absorbed light LIR, protection against shocks Hp, and bringing the signal and increasing the contrast of signal perception.

[0269] It uses a shape with an advanced aerodynamic zone Ha that creates anti-turbulence channels Ch1, Ch2, Ch3 and at the same time with a profile that protects the incidence of external light DL, LI on the reflector 50 and the surface 3 and improves aerodynamics turbulence generating up to 4 air channels A1, channel Ch1 between the casing H, Hc and the vehicle, which concerns a protrusion as an appendage Hx that also brings a light indicator Bs closer to the driver's vision DV,

[0270] To understand this projection, its function and the function of the frame 80 of the VIS system, we define the shape of the structure from the external view VE behind the vehicle, opposite the mirror M1, which we must consider as mirror M1 a field of vision complying with UN / ECE Regulation R46, which has positioning means and motors;some mirrors are compound mirrors M1, M2 and can achieve an extended field of view by connecting another mirror, a spotter, an aspherical M2 or an auxiliary mirror, all enclosed in a housing frame 80 of homogeneous width to ensure that the signal emitted rearward along the horizontal reference axis Sr does not disturb the eyes of the DV driver, and a third luminous surface 51 of the anti-stress locator of the mirror M1, which emits light specially designed at low intensity and scattered with micro-machining means to generate an automatically conditioned anti-stress behavior and emits a VC reference focal axis specifically aligned and visible to the eyes of the DV driver;

[0271] SHAPE AND BLOCKS. We define the indirect vision system VIS as a whole in terms of the shape and location of the parts, taking into account the body H. If it uses mirrors M1, M2, it is a block divided into three-thirds of vertical blocks T1, T2, T3, the first block T1 being closest to the body and T3 being farthest away, and into two blocks with respect to the horizontal volume from a centerline Hm, two horizontal blocks above and below.

[0272] The illumination surface 3, or the illumination surface 3 integrated by the sectors 3a, 3b, 3c, 3R, is always arranged in front of the secondary peripheral reflector R2 and can cover the outer surface of the housing H from one end to the other, occupying at least part of the three blocks. Vertical lines T1, T2, T3 into which the housing H is divided with a continuous or discontinuous luminous linear shape. Fig. 21, Fig. 33, Fig. 35, Fig. 39, Fig. 41, Fig. 45, Fig. 47, Fig. 49.

[0273] The 80 frame has a homogeneous width for the T1 and T2 blocks and an 80-fold wider frame for the T3 block, which is furthest from the body.

[0274] The VIS system has the following formal features: Said frame 80 in the area farthest from the CAR body. It features an 80-fold widening with an inner and outer side that allows: - On the outside, fit the lighting surface 3R, whose reverse signal output RS is emitted from the horizontal reference beam axis Sr and complies with the photometry of UN / ECE Regulation R6. - Acts as a partition, the 80x frame creates with an imaginary line 00, on one outside a signal field 01, differentiated on the other side, interior or vehicle, from a field 02 without signal, where the eyes of the DV driver are located. - Have on its inner side an opaque or matte anti-reflective area 53 away from the incidence of external light DL, LI, capable of receiving and surrounding the illumination surface 51 of the mirror positioner M1, M2, so as to provide an anti-stress support to the conductor through a reference axis emitting diffuse rays VC of low intensity of less than 0.6 candela visible to the eyes of the conductor DV. Fig. 22, 24, 28-32, 36, 54. - The frame 80 defines, at the beginning of the first third block T1, a limit 0 from which the casing H can extend towards T0 towards the body of the CAR vehicle, providing an appendage-shaped surface Hx defining a volume constriction. The substantially triangular, antler-shaped volume is preferably located in the upper block above the centerline Hm and is developed in the area closest to the driver's eyes DV, with the double technical effect: - create an aerodynamic anti-turbulence duct Ch1 that redirects and organizes the air towards A1 between the structure of the VIS system and the body of the CAR vehicle. - incorporate a light warning device as part of the lane departure warning system, blind spot detection devices Bs (BLIS, Blind Spot Detector) in conjunction with the RZ perimeter radars and the electronic activation interface that issues warnings with a focal axis VB aligned and visible to the eye of the DV driver. Fig. 3, Fig. 35, Fig. 36, Fig. 39, Fig. 41, Fig. 43, Fig. 45, Fig. 47, Fig. 49, Fig. 51, Fig. 53. This BLIS device can apply the same technical concept of a hidden reflective substrate 50 when the substrate is perpendicular to the axis of the parabola A, Fig. 11 with a luminous surface 3 in the form of a luminous solar eclipse, of any shape and surface treatment technique, engraved or screen-printed, preferably triangular, to indicate a danger, which in turn can attach a second warning light, send a double message in a differentiated way Bs, Bs' of a different shape or color with a figure in the perimeter of the solar eclipse Fig. 22, Fig. 35.

[0275] For the application examples where the VIS system includes observation mirrors and / or mirrors and cameras, the multifunctional signaling device DS includes the reflective substrate 50 for its front signaling part FS, positioned behind the mirrors M1, M2 and represented by a horizontal axis FSx, a plane indicated by the opposite arrows FSx between an upper tangent tgs and a lower tgi to the marginal gap Mx of the mirrors, which allows to contain the volume of the reflector 50 and the signaling device in the housing H, Hc and with its aerodynamic profile against the advancing air Af, as a ballistic element, reduce the resistance by extending the object in the direction FSx and redirecting the air into the channels Ch2 and towards A0 above and A2 below. Fig. 23, Fig. 24, Fig. 34, Fig. 36, Fig. 52.

[0276] DUAL-FUNCTION DOOR DEVICE + FLASHING + LASER. For applications where the VIS system includes vision cameras or mirrors, a luminous anti-stress locator 51 is provided in the multifunctional signaling device DS, and in particular in the rear part RS, to warn the person opening the door from the inside, driver or passenger.

[0277] The system is able to associate, combine and link devices from other systems and the system with a different activation frequency than the turn signal, providing a second, third or fourth function independent of those known for the selectable DS turn signal: A- DOOR OPENING.

[0278] Activates the DS signal independently of the rest of the vehicle's signals (this operational independence is a function in itself) to generate, in response, a pre-warning of door opening, to visually and acoustically notify the outside environment and the vehicle occupants At the same time it works; - before opening the door, a short-path actuator-sensor detector is assigned to the inside handles of the doors or activated in the movement gap by means of a switch before activating the bolts, - the DS signal with an accelerated activation frequency of more than 120 bpm by means of an independent controller. - activates only the DS signal of the indirect vision system and interrupts the activation by an intermediate diode or interface with a similar effect, so that the other indicators of the vehicle for that side are not activated, - activates a laser projector Ls, which projects a laser line LL onto the side floor of the vehicle to indicate how far the front doors Do1 or rear doors Do2 are open, - activates a buzzer with a frequency and a singular tone directed towards the external environment (cyclists, motorcycles or scooters) and indicates with a recognizable tone that the door is being opened. - At the same time, the attention of the vehicle occupants is drawn visually and acoustically; - said Anti-Stress Locator 51, - The internal buzzer 58, which may have other applications, is activated with at least 3 beeps before the door is opened and with a set of more than 3 beeps after the door is opened (a proven frequency that creates a conditional behavior). - an interior light, preferably located on the interior panel of the door in question or connected to the opening handle. - the associated BLIS warning device as a double warning device towards the vehicle interior.

[0279] For all embodiments in which the indirect vision system VIS uses cameras, the anti-stress locator function 51 or the BLIS is able to be represented on the monitors M visible to the driver DV in normal driving position by means of corresponding superimposed characters or markers. Position on the screen of the same monitors via application software, the early warning function when doors are opened associates the other devices in the same way. B - DETECTION OF PEDESTRIAN IN DANGER FRONT.

[0280] Activates the DS multifunction signal independently of the rest of the vehicle's signals in response to the detection of pedestrians in a dangerous situation, detected or detected by the front cameras or the RZ front radar, with the technical effect of attracting attention, generating a warning to the pedestrian in the face of a possible danger and performing a defensive maneuver. C - EMERGENCY BRAKE.

[0281] Activates the DS multifunction signal independently of the vehicle's other signals in response to automatic emergency braking.

[0282] Anti-stress locator. This locator is a specially designed function that uses the same light source as the external signals and, in its simplest version, transforms a DS device into a dual-function device.

[0283] Understand; An illumination surface 51, an optical extension or light guide as an optical appendage 52, is visible to the eyes of the driver DV by means of an axis-related focal beam VC and fulfills the anti-stress task even without a mirror and without By exercising the image location function, the anti-stress function has the purpose of helping the driver to automatically stimulate attention behavior, in several functions, including: At least when switching on the indicator to indicate the change of direction, during the advance warning of door opening, which differs in that it increases the activation frequency to >120bpm, during the warning of a passing vehicle in conjunction with the RZ radars of also the BLIS system with increasing frequency, since it justifies its official approval with a fault in the indicator system.

[0284] MONITORS WITH ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS. As another example, when using cameras, the system performs the same warning and tracking functions by overlaying an image, line, mark, color, or signal on the vehicle's in-cabin monitor (M) to develop a similar automatically conditioned behavior as an aid to the driver. DV.

[0287] RELIABLE VANDALISM PROTECTION. Part of the interface of one of these devices is arranged as a split circuit 59, consisting of two separate parts, so as not to disable the housing body H of the rearview mirror or cameras due to breakage or vandalism, and thus its controls or activation are inaccessible from the outside; - A first part comprises (an antenna or a circuit 20, 21, 22) located in the VIS system, in its body or in the support arm, in the DS signaling device, in a set of multifunctional or multi-camera MM or in a platform connected to the mounting support and the body, - A second part comprises a reader for a digital memory 75 (with USB port or housing, Compact Flash card (CF), Micro-SD or similar) or a SIM card 59 located in the vehicle.

[0289] All cameras of the VIS system can be connected to the M indoor monitor wirelessly or with a simplified cable system and are equipped with a motion detector.

[0290] POLYFUNCTIONAL. For all implementation examples of the VIS system, the DS multifunction signaling device and the associated warning devices have variable activation and configuration, some of which can be selected via a double object: A - the signaling device as a mixed multifocal polyfunctional DS is activated when actuated; - the indicator to indicate a change of direction, - Emergency lights - report the opening and closing of the vehicle, - When the 360 ​​system detects via camera, the front radar RZ detects the presence of a pedestrian in front of it Fig. 3. - Automatically perform emergency braking in the vehicle's ADAS system. - when the intelligent camera on the ScS side automatically or by voluntary activation detects a suspect near the vehicle by monitoring the image captured remotely. - to operate the door opening commands before or during the opening of one of the vehicle doors, or to touch or approach them, in particular from inside the vehicle and below a certain speed (15 km / h) or when stationary, associated with a control that increases the activation frequency >120 bpm, an internal and / or external sound buzzer 58 operating for at least 3 cycles at a certain frequency oscillation (Hertz Hz) and a level of sound intensity and volume (decibels dB) that is perfectly audible, preferably between 800 and 4000 Hz and a volume between 40 and 85 dB for a noise inside the vehicle; if the device is located outside the structure of the VIS system, it can have a higher intensity of up to 95 dB; and the laser projector Ls, which projects the ground next to the vehicle LL with the preferably red luminous line of 650 nm (nanometers) length, indicates where the doors will open before opening.

The system combines the detection field of the RZ radars with independent automatic activation and, at a frequency higher than the flashing, of the multifunctional signaling device DS, at least in the rear emission zone RS, to indicate to a vehicle approaching from behind and that it is dangerously close. In the rear illuminated field, the rear reference focal axis Rs can receive the message indicating that it is close to the vehicle. This function can be linked to a BLIS function and is capable of simultaneously informing the driver of the DV vehicle via the BLIS warning device, the VB signal, or the anti-stress locator 51.

[0293] Didactic function. OF SAFETY. The VIS system combines and links devices from another system and the system with the same or a different activation frequency to provide a new safety education function by not activating the turn signal below a certain speed, preferably below 15 km / h. and tilting the steering wheel to turn, to teach and correct the lack of activation of the turn signal. DS is able to activate the BLIS and / or the intermittent DS signal, regardless of the other signals and the side of the turn. At low speed, by turning the steering wheel and not turning the turn signal, and / or optionally the internal buzzer that generates a conditioned behavior.

They feature a compatible fitting profile and assembly system capable of equipping a vehicle with more or fewer functions using a basic assembly structure.

[0299] For all embodiments, the reflective substrate 50 has negligible and blind areas with 100% reflection, as well as other areas whose light distribution can be improved and which can be aligned with the signal output. In these areas, it has the following feature and advantage: - Perforations with mounting holes 17 for cover, logos or cables, - Perforations, gaps, holes and surfaces of a specific shape to insert surfaces in the substrate 50 or in any part of the complex optical body with the function of sub-reflectors 42, SuR, G or light distributors with reflector sectors internal or external parabolas R-EX, R-IN, internal, with the technical effect of homogenizing or associating the main transverse axis ray 33 and the associated axis rays 34, or optimizing the rear emission axis Sr, and all direct or reflected emissions E1, direct E1d, reflected E1r, diffuse E2G, reflected diffuse E2Gr,

[0300] In addition, these perforations allow us to achieve additional benefits, reducing the weight of the substrate and saving material and costs.

[0301] This effect of weight reduction through perforations, empty or hollow areas is "NOT" achievable in light guides because they are tubes and the main emission beam axis is only one and runs longitudinally, which would always cut off the emission and tangency. In contrast, in the reflective substrate 50, it is longitudinal (patented concept). The main beam axis runs transversely, directional or omnidirectional, through sectors with short pitch, in width and concentrated light reflected or directed towards the same surface illumination 3, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3R is integrated, that is, in all directions with high intensity towards a target.

VIS systems with a similar technical effect can be used on vehicles with two, three, four, or more wheels, and on other pairs of vehicles.
